ALPS ETF Trust

Notes to Quarterly Schedules of Investments

August 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

1. Portfolio Valuation

 

Shares of the ALPS | Dorsey Wright Sector Momentum ETF are listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) and shares of the ALPS Disruptive Technologies ETF and the ALPS Clean Energy ETF are listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Cboe BZX”). Shares of the Alerian Energy Infrastructure ETF, the Alerian MLP ETF, the ALPS Emerging Sector Dividend Dogs ETF, the ALPS Equal Sector Weight ETF, the ALPS International Sector Dividend Dogs ETF, the ALPS Medical Breakthroughs ETF, the ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF, the Barron’s 400 ETF, the Cohen & Steers Global Realty Majors ETF, the RiverFront Dynamic Core Income ETF, the RiverFront Dynamic Unconstrained Income ETF, the RiverFront Dynamic US Dividend Advantage ETF, the RiverFront Dynamic US Flex-Cap ETF, the RiverFront Strategic Income Fund, the Sprott Gold Miners ETF, the Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF, the BUZZ US Sentiment Leaders ETF, and the Workplace Equality Portfolio (each a “Fund” and along with ALPS | Dorsey Wright Sector Momentum ETF, ALPS Disruptive Technologies ETF and ALPS Clean Energy ETF collectively, the “Funds”) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Arca. Each Fund’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) is determined daily, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The NAV is computed by dividing the value of all assets of each Fund (including accrued interest and dividends), less all liabilities (including accrued expenses and dividends declared but unpaid), by the total number of shares outstanding.

 

Portfolio securities listed on any exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and ask prices on such day. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price as determined by NASDAQ. Portfolio securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Portfolio securities traded in the over-the-counter market, but excluding securities traded on the NASDAQ, are valued at the latest quoted sale price in such market. Fixed-income obligations are typically valued at the mean between the evaluated bid and ask prices formulated by an independent pricing service. Treasury Bills and Treasury Notes are typically valued at the mean between the evaluated bid and ask prices formulated by an independent pricing service. Listed put options are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and ask prices.

 

Each Fund’s investments are valued at market value or, in the absence of market value with respect to any portfolio securities, at fair value according to procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). When market quotations are not readily available or when events occur that make established valuation methods unreliable, securities of each Fund may be valued in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established primary pricing source or the pricing source is not willing to provide a price; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is most likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of the Fund’s NAV or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; or a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, does not reflect the security’s “fair value” due to the security being de-listed from a national exchange or the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open. As a general principle, the current “fair value” of a security would be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive from the sale on the applicable exchange or principal market. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities.

 

The accounting records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars.

 

Certain Funds may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investments in non-U.S. issuers may involve unique risks compared to investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others, greater market volatility than U.S. securities and less complete financial information than for U.S. issuers. In addition, adverse political, economic or social developments could undermine the value of a Fund’s investments or prevent a Fund from realizing the full value of its investments. Financial reporting standards for companies based in foreign markets differ from those in the United States. Finally, the value of the currency of the country in which a Fund has invested could decline relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the value of the investment to U.S. investors.

 

 

Because foreign markets may be open on different days than the days during which investors may purchase the shares of each Fund, the value of each Fund’s securities may change on the days when investors are not able to purchase the shares of the Funds. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE or NASDAQ. Any use of a different rate from the rates used by the Index may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to track their Index.

 

2. Fair Value Measurements

 

Each Fund discloses the classification of its fair value measurements following a three-tier hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.

 

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:

 

Equity securities, including restricted securities, Exchange Traded Funds, Closed-End Funds and Limited Partnerships, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices on such day and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

 

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances. Certain Funds may invest a significant portion of its assets in below investment grade securities. The value of these securities can be more volatile due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer and is sensitive to changes in economic, market and regulatory conditions.

 

Treasury Bills and Treasury Notes are typically valued at the mean between the evaluated bid and ask prices formulated by an independent pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy, due to their active trading, short-term maturity and liquidity.

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments as of the end of the reporting period. When inputs used fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments.

 

These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s investments at August 31, 2018:

3. Lending of Portfolio Securities

 

Alerian Energy Infrastructure ETF, ALPS Clean Energy ETF, ALPS Disruptive Technologies ETF, ALPS Emerging Sector Dividend Dogs ETF, ALPS Equal Sector Weight ETF, ALPS International Sector Dividend Dogs ETF, ALPS Medical Breakthroughs ETF, ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF, ALPS | Dorsey Wright Sector Momentum ETF, Barron’s 400 ETF, BUZZ US Sentiment Leaders ETF, Cohen & Steers Global Realty Majors ETF, RiverFront Dynamic US Dividend Advantage ETF, RiverFront Dynamic US Flex-Cap ETF, Sprott Gold Miners ETF, Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF, and Workplace Equality Portfolio have entered into a securities lending agreement with State Street Bank & Trust Co. (“SSB”), the Funds’ lending agent. The Funds may lend their portfolio securities only to borrowers that are approved by SSB. Each Fund will limit such lending to not more than 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets. Each Fund’s securities held as SSB as custodian shall be available to be lent except those securities the Fund or ALPS Advisors Inc. specifically identifies in writing as not being available for lending. The borrower pledges and maintains with each Fund collateral consisting of cash (U.S. Dollars only), securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, and by cash equivalents (including irrevocable bank letters of credit issued by a person other than the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower). The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for U.S equity securities and a value of no less than 105% of the market value for non-U.S. equity securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a market value equal to not less than 102% of the current value of the U.S. equity securities on loan and not less than 105% of the current value of the non-U.S. equity securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to each Fund on the next business day. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the customary time period for settlement of securities transactions.

 

Any cash collateral received is reinvested in a money market fund managed by SSB as disclosed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Non-cash collateral, in the form of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, is not disclosed in a Fund’s Schedule of Investments as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of each Fund, and each Fund does not have the ability to re-hypothecate these securities.

 

The following is a summary of each Fund’s securities lending agreements and related cash and non-cash collateral received as of August 31, 2018:

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, each Fund benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by SSB. SSB’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent wherein SSB will purchase the unreturned loaned securities on the open market by applying the proceeds of the collateral, or to the extent such proceeds are insufficient or the collateral is unavailable, SSB will purchase the unreturned loan securities at SSB’s expense. However, the Funds could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.

 

 

4. Return of Capital Estimates

 

The Alerian MLP ETF (the “Alerian Fund”) expects a portion of the distributions it receives from Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) to be treated as a tax-deferred return of capital, thus reducing the Alerian Fund’s current tax liability. Return of capital distributions are not taxable income to the shareholder, but reduce the investor’s tax basis in the investor’s Fund Shares. Such a reduction in tax basis will result in larger taxable gains and/or lower tax losses on a subsequent sale of Fund Shares. Shareholders who periodically receive the payment of dividends or other distributions consisting of a return of capital may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits from the Alerian Fund when, in fact, they are not. Shareholders should not assume that the source of the distributions is from the net profits of the Alerian Fund.

 

5. Master Limited Partnerships

 

MLPs are publicly traded partnerships engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage and processing of minerals and natural resources and are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. By confining their operations to these specific activities, their interests, or units, are able to trade on public securities exchanges exactly like the shares of a corporation, without entity level taxation. To qualify as a MLP and to not be taxed as a corporation, a partnership must receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources as set forth in Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These qualifying sources include, among other things, natural resource- based activities such as the processing, transportation and storage of mineral or natural resources. MLPs generally have two classes of owners; the general partner and limited partners. The general partner of an MLP is typically owned by a major energy company, an investment fund, the direct management of the MLP, or is an entity owned by one or more of such parties. The general partner may be structured as a private or publicly traded corporation or other entity. The general partner typically controls the operations and management of the MLP through an up to 2% equity interest in the MLP plus, in many cases, ownership of common units and subordinated units. Limited partners typically own the remainder of the partnership, through ownership of common units, and have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management.

 

MLPs are typically structured such that common units and general partner interests have first priority to receive quarterly cash distributions up to an established minimum amount (“minimum quarterly distributions” or “MQD”). Common and general partner interests also accrue arrearages in distributions to the extent the MQD is not paid. Once common and general partner interests have been paid, subordinated units receive distributions of up to the MQD; however, subordinated units do not accrue arrearages. Distributable cash in excess of the MQD is paid to both common and subordinated units and is distributed to both common and subordinated units generally on a pro rata basis. The general partner is also eligible to receive incentive distributions if the general partner operates the business in a manner which results in distributions paid per common unit surpassing specified target levels. As the general partner increases cash distributions to the limited partners, the general partner receives an increasingly higher percentage of the incremental cash distributions.

 

 

6. Affiliated Companies

 

As defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, an affiliated person, including an affiliated company, is one in which a Fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities, or a company which is under common ownership or control with the Fund.

7. Subsequent Events

 

On September 20, 2018, the Board authorized an orderly liquidation of the ALPS/Dorsey Wright Sector Momentum ETF (the “Fund”). The Board determined that closing and liquidating the Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders. The Fund closed to new investors on October 18, 2018, and the NASDAQ halted trading in the Fund before the opening of trading on October 22, 2018. Effective October 22, 2018, the Fund liquidated and shareholders of record received cash at the net asset value of their shares as of that date.
