Our read on ELFY
BCap-weighted theme funds let one winner run the show. ELFY equal-weights roughly 80 US generation, transmission, distribution and smart-grid names, so the grid-gear companies stay the story. Live since 2025 at 0.50%.
ELFY seeks pre-fee, pre-expense results that generally track the Ladenburg Thalmann Electrification Infrastructure Index. Its investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.
Why people hold it
- Equal weighting is the design, not a footnote: every holding gets the same slot, so no single winner can balloon and crowd out the transformer and grid-gear names.9443423.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net
- Costs 0.50% a year, below the median for its electrification peers and well under VOLT (0.75%) and FPWR (0.96%).
- Roughly 80 mid- and large-cap US names spanning generation, transmission, distribution and smart grid, one of the broader, better-spread builds in a small peer group.9443423.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net
- Passive and rules-based: it follows the Ladenburg Thalmann Electrification Infrastructure Index, so the sector mix comes from published rules, not a manager's hunch.
Worth knowing
- Launched in April 2025, so how it behaves through a full market cycle isn't on the tape yet.
- Trading is moderate rather than heavy and the asset base is mid-size, so spreads can widen when markets move fast.
- One theme, utility and industrial heavy, and equal weight gives smaller names as much pull as giants, so swings can run wider than a broad-market fund's.9443423.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net
