Description: UTES Virtus Reaves Utilities January 26, 2026
The Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF (NYSE ARCA: UTES) commits at least 80% of its net assets-plus any investment-purpose borrowings-to equity securities of companies that meet a strict utility definition: ≥ 50% of assets, customers, or revenue must stem from electricity, gas, or water generation and distribution. Because the fund is classified as non-diversified, it can concentrate holdings in a relatively small number of utility firms.
As of the most recent filing (Q4 2025), UTES reports an expense ratio of **0.45%**, total assets under management of **≈ $210 million**, and a **distribution yield of 4.1%** (annualized). The ETF’s top five holdings (≈ 55% of net assets) are **Duke Energy, Southern Co., NextEra Energy, Dominion Energy, and American Water Works**, reflecting a blend of traditional regulated utilities and renewable-focused generators. Year-to-date total return stands at **+2.3%**, underperforming the broader Utilities Index (+3.5%) but benefitting from the sector’s defensive dividend profile.
Key drivers for UTES’s performance include the **interest-rate environment** (higher rates pressure utility valuations and cost of capital), **regulatory rate-case outcomes** (which dictate earnings stability), and the **pace of renewable-energy integration** (affecting capital allocation and growth prospects). Given the sector’s sensitivity to policy shifts, monitoring Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rulings and state clean-energy mandates is essential for forecasting earnings trends.
