EIPICFT Energy Income Partners Enhanced Income ETF

TRUTAVanEck Technology TruSector ETF

In short

EIPI Four First Trust closed-end energy funds were merged into one ETF in 2024, and this is the survivor: an Energy Income Partners portfolio of pipelines, utilities and energy majors that sells calls against part of the book and pays monthly.

TRUT Diversification rules force most tech ETFs to trim their biggest names. TRUT's answer: own the giants directly up to the legal line, then top up with sector ETFs so the portfolio mirrors the sector's real shape.

Stated mandate

EIPI The Fund seeks high total return with an emphasis on current shareholder distributions.

TRUT The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through active investment in securities of information technology-related companies or instruments providing exposure to them.

Why people hold it

  • EIPI Run by energy specialist Energy Income Partners as sub-adviser: about 110 names across midstream, utilities and majors, chosen by hand rather than lifted from a sector index.businesswire.com
  • Writes call options against part of the portfolio to turn energy volatility into premium, and sends cash out on a monthly cadence.stockanalysis.com
  • ETF plumbing: shares create and redeem at net asset value, sidestepping the discount-to-NAV problem that dogged the four closed-end funds it absorbed.nasdaq.com
  • TRUT The mechanism is the point. Fund rules cap one stock at 25% and stocks above 5% at 50% combined; TRUT fills the gap with targeted sector ETFs instead of overweighting smaller names.vaneck.comvaneck.com 2
  • 0.14% a year for an actively managed fund, against a median near 0.65% across active US equity peers. Cheap enough to sit alongside index products.
  • One of the two originals in VanEck's TruSector line, launched in 2025. The approach has since been extended across all 11 GICS sectors.vaneck.comvaneck.com 2
  • About 80 positions, quarterly distributions, and steady day-to-day trading. On cost and tradability it lands in the upper tier of its active US equity cohort.

Worth knowing

  • EIPI Fees run 1.11% a year against roughly 0.65% for the median active US equity ETF; cohort leaders like DFAU (0.12%) and FELC (0.18%) charge a sliver of that.
  • One sector, one cycle. Commodity prices, pipeline volumes and utility rate decisions move the entire portfolio together.stockanalysis.com
  • Calls sold against holdings cap the upside on that slice, so a sharp energy rally partly passes the fund by. Income comes at the cost of some appreciation.stockanalysis.com
  • TRUT Part of the exposure arrives through other ETFs rather than shares the fund holds outright. That is the workaround that makes uncapped weights possible, and it adds a layer.vaneck.com
  • Uncapped means concentrated. Leaning fully into tech's largest companies ties results to a handful of mega-caps more tightly than a capped sector fund would.vaneck.com
  • Launched August 2025, so there is only a short record of how closely the hybrid build actually shadows an uncapped tech benchmark.
