ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities Strategy Fund (JCRIX)

Fund Objective: Seeks to maximize real returns, consistent with prudent investment management.

  • Commodities have historically provided investors with an effective hedge against inflation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
  • Adding commodities to a portfolio of stocks and bonds may enhance diversification, though diversification may not protect against loss.
  • Commodities can help capitalize on growth in emerging economies and rising demand for raw materials.
  • Potential to benefit from broader commodity exposure through both futures contracts and equities, which may reduce volatility and enhance returns.

ALPS Active REIT ETF (REIT)

Fund Objective: Seeks total return through dividends and capital appreciation.

Increases in the cost of land, labor and materials increase the cost of real estate development which may constrain supply and enable landlords to increase rents. Many landlords issue leases with explicit ties to inflation. Unlike bond coupons, REIT dividends can grow over time.

ALPS REIT Dividend Dogs ETF (RDOG)

Fund Objective: Seeks investment results that replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the performance of an index called the S-Network REIT Dividend Dogs Index (RDOGX).

Inflation can typically translate across the broad REIT market through higher property and rent prices. By equal-weighting nine REIT segments, RDOG is well-positioned to benefit equally from a broad basket of inflationary trends.

Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP)

Fund Objective: Seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index (AMZI).

Exposure to midstream MLPs with no K-1.

AMLP also solves for investors seeking energy transition and alternative income solutions.

Alerian Energy Infrastructure ETF (ENFR)

Fund Objective: Seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index (AMEI).

Diversified exposure to energy infrastructure companies, including US and Canadian midstream corporations and MLPs, with no K-1.

ENFR also solves for investors seeking energy transition and alternative income solutions.
