ALPS Nautilus SMR, Nuclear & Technology ETF

The ALPS Nautilus SMR, Nuclear & Technology ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund launched in February 2026 by SS&C ALPS Advisors. It seeks capital appreciation and income through targeted exposure to companies across the nuclear and small modular reactor (SMR) value chain, including those involved in developing, operating, and enabling SMRs and broader nuclear energy technologies. Complementing this focus, the fund incorporates a curated sleeve of leading artificial intelligence (AI) and technology companies, with the AI segment capped at 25% of the portfolio to prioritize pure-play nuclear firms. This strategy leverages the synergy between surging AI-driven energy demands and nuclear power's role as a reliable, low-carbon source. The ETF employs an options overlay for potential income generation, managed by ALPS Advisors, and tracks elements of the Nautilus SMR, Nuclear & Technology Index while allowing active adjustments. As a non-diversified fund, it carries sector-specific risks tied to nuclear regulation, technological hurdles, and AI competition, positioning it as a specialized vehicle in the clean energy and tech investment landscape.
