Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF (UTES) offers better total returns and resilience in rising interest rate environments compared to the Reaves Utility Income Fund (UTG). UTES benefits from a lower expense ratio of 0.49% and a pure equity focus, outperforming UTG's leveraged and higher-cost structure in both rising and falling markets. The ETF's concentrated portfolio of power producers is well-positioned for growth due to AI-driven power demand and long-term contracts with data centers. While UTG remains attractive for retirees seeking high, tax-efficient monthly income, its leverage and interest rate risks limit its potential for capital appreciation.
