ALPS Clean Energy ETF (ACES US) – Portfolio Construction Methodology

The underlying CIBC Atlas Clean Energy Index targets U.S. and Canadian listings deriving a majority of business value from commercially proven clean-energy activities spanning renewables, electric transport, energy management and storage, and related clean technologies, while excluding U.S. MLPs. Eligible issuers must have float-adjusted market cap at least USD 300 million and median 60-day trading liquidity above USD 3 million; removal is triggered if clean-energy revenue falls below 40%, market cap slips under USD 200 million or liquidity drops below USD 2 million, with the index aiming to maintain at least 30 names. All qualifying securities are weighted by float-adjusted market cap, but any stock above 5% is cut back and excess redistributed. The index reconstitutes and rebalances after the close of the third Friday of March, June, September and December, using data frozen 10 trading days earlier.
