The Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF (UTES) is an actively managed fund that allocates at least 80% of its net assets to equity securities within the utility sector. To qualify for inclusion, a company must derive at least 50% of its revenue, assets, or profits from the generation or distribution of electricity, gas, or water.
Utility companies often operate as regulated monopolies within specific geographic territories, providing essential services that typically exhibit low price elasticity. This sector is traditionally characterized by high capital expenditures and significant debt loads used to fund infrastructure projects like power plants and transmission lines. As a non-diversified fund, UTES may hold larger positions in fewer individual stocks compared to broader index-tracking ETFs.
