EIPXCFT Energy Income Partners Strategy ETF

TRUFCVanEck Financials TruSector ETF

In short

EIPX First Trust hands the wheel to Energy Income Partners: an actively run, global energy book of roughly 80 names chasing risk-adjusted total return, not an index snapshot of whoever pumps the most barrels.

TRUF Most active funds exist to beat a benchmark. TRUF is active so it can hug one: it holds US financials at true market weight, sidestepping the diversification caps that force many sector funds to shrink their largest names.

Stated mandate

EIPX The Fund seeks risk-adjusted total return.

TRUF The Fund is an actively managed ETF seeking long-term capital appreciation through securities of financials-related companies or instruments providing exposure to such companies.

Why people hold it

  • EIPX Actively managed rather than index-tracking, with a stated goal of risk-adjusted total return. A manager picks the energy names, and can pass on the ones it doesn't like.
  • Roughly 80 holdings. Concentrated enough that the manager's calls actually show up, broad enough that no single pipeline or utility runs the show.
  • The mandate is global, so the portfolio isn't fenced into US energy names the way many sector funds are.
  • Pays on a quarterly cadence and has built a mid-sized asset base since its 2022 launch, which is real staying power for a niche sector fund.
  • TRUF A 0.10% expense ratio, against a 0.65% median for actively managed US equity funds in its peer group.
  • The hybrid build (individual stocks plus targeted ETFs) keeps a sector's biggest contributors at uncapped weight while staying inside fund diversification rules.businesswire.comvaneck.com
  • Roughly 80 names, measured against the MarketVector Top US Financials Companies Index. The mandate is the sector itself, not a stock picker's shortlist.

Worth knowing

  • EIPX 0.95% a year is specialist-active pricing, meaningfully above the typical active US equity ETF. You're paying for the stock picking, so it has to earn its keep.
  • It trades lightly compared with its peer group, so entry and exit costs deserve more attention than with a mega-cap fund.
  • This is one sector, start to finish. Energy moves on commodity cycles and policy, and the whole portfolio rides that wave together.
  • TRUF VanEck says financials has not suffered the weighting distortions that hit tech and consumer discretionary, so the problem this structure solves is smaller here.vaneck.com
  • Launched in 2026 and still a small fund, so spreads can run wider than in the sector's household-name ETFs. Limit orders are the usual tool for that.
  • Owning other ETFs brings acquired fund fees, one of the items VanEck's expense arrangement does not cover, so total cost sits above the headline fee.vaneck.com
