Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

ELFYBALPS Electrification Infrastructure ETF

JOULCCorgi High Voltage Grid Equipment ETF

In short

ELFY Cap-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%.

JOUL No data

Stated mandate

ELFY 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.

JOUL No data

Why people hold it

  • ELFY 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.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.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.

JOUL No data

Worth knowing

  • ELFY 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.hubspotusercontent-na1.net
