DENVER, July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SS&C ALPS Advisors, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SSNC), has partnered with CoreCommodity Management to
launch the ALPS | CoreCommodity Natural Resources ETF (Nasdaq:
CCNR) (the "Fund").
"This commodity-oriented equity ETF offers a strategic gateway
to global economic shifts and natural resource dynamics, providing
investors with a potential hedge against inflation and
participation in equity returns,"
said Laton Spahr*, Portfolio
Manager and President of
SS&C ALPS Advisors. "CCNR offers access to natural
resources equities and is actively managed in an ETF wrapper to
capture commodity growth opportunities."
The Fund employs a "pure play" approach to gaining exposure to
natural resources by investing in a portfolio of equity securities
of upstream commodity producing companies. CoreCommodity
Management, the Fund's sub-adviser, uses an actively managed,
quantitative, multi-factor process which evaluates the corporate
fundamentals, commodity relationships and market dynamics of the
portfolio companies. Gaining exposure to natural resources via the
CCNR ETF may help diversify overall portfolio risk and mitigate the
impact of high unexpected inflation during periods of rising prices
for natural resources.
Bradford L. Klein, Co-Founder of
CoreCommodity Management added, "CCNR will allow ETF investors for
the first time to directly access our actively managed, pure play
global natural resource equity strategy. We are pleased to broaden
our partnership with SS&C ALPS Advisors and to expand our
business of partnering with investment firms to provide
differentiated commodity and natural resources solutions."
Fund Objective
The ALPS | CoreCommodity Natural
Resources ETF seeks to maximize real returns, consistent with
prudent investment management.
Important Disclosures
An investor should
consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses
carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus containing this
and other information, call 1-866-759-5679 or visit
www.alpsfunds.com. Read the prospectus carefully before
investing.
Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV)
and are not individually redeemable.
All investments are subject to risks, including the loss of
money and the possible loss of the entire principal amount
invested. Additional information regarding the risks of this
investment is available in the prospectus.
The Fund is new and has limited operating history.
Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing
investment losses.
The Fund's investments in securities of natural resource
companies involve risks. The market value of securities of natural
resource companies may be affected by numerous factors, including
changes in overall market movements; economic, geographical or
financial events; events occurring in nature; inflationary
pressures; and domestic and international politics. Because the
Fund invests significantly in natural resource companies, there is
the risk that the Fund will perform poorly during a downturn in the
natural resource sector. Certain natural resources may be produced
in a limited number of countries and may be controlled by a small
number of producers. As a result, political, economic and supply
related events in such countries could have a disproportionate
impact on the prices of such natural resources and the value of
securities of companies involved in such natural resource. Another
principal risk of investing in the Fund is equity risk, which is
the risk that the value of the securities held by the Fund will
fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions
regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by
the Fund participate or factors relating to specific companies in
which the Fund invests. The Fund's investments in non-US issuers
may be even more volatile and may present more risks than
investments in US issuers. Equity investments in natural
resources-related companies may not move in the same direction and
to the same extent as the underlying natural resources.
Active Management: the practice of selecting individual
investments with discretion. The opposite of Passive
Management.
Pure Play: refers to a publicly traded company that is
focused on only one industry or product.
