First Trust Rebrands Carbon Impact ETF with New Strategy and Name

First Trust has announced the rebranding of its Carbon Impact ETF now renamed as the First Trust EIP Power Solutions ETF along with a strategic shift to align with the evolving landscape of the electric power sector. The updated ETF will trade under the new ticker FPWR, marking a refined focus on companies shaping a cleaner, safer, and more resilient energy infrastructure.

Shifting from Carbon Impact to Power Solutions Focus

Previously known as the First Trust EIP Carbon Impact ETF (ticker ECLN), the fund managed by First Trust Advisors L.P. with sub-advisor Energy Income Partners, LLC (EIP) will now devote at least 80% of its net assets to Power Solutions Companies. These firms are involved in critical areas such as electric power generation, transmission, and enhancements in reliability or affordability.

Expanding the Investment Universe

Under its new mandate, FPWR broadens its scope to include not only traditional energy companies but also contracted developers or owners of advanced systems like nuclear energy. This shift ensures more comprehensive coverage of innovative power solutions supporting grid modernization.

Fund Infrastructure and Oversight

First Trust Advisors, the fund’s official advisor, oversees operations from Wheaton, Illinois. As of July 31, 2025, First Trust had roughly $281 billion in assets under management across various portfolio types, including ETFs and SMAs. This transition to the Power Solutions focus is part of their strategy to align investment products with emerging energy and infrastructure trends.

What This Means for Investors

• Thematic clarity: FPWR now presents a sharper lens on infrastructure-related power opportunities.

• Broadened exposure: Investors gain access to a diverse set of power-related investments, including advanced technologies.

• Consistency maintained: While the identity and focus have evolved, the fund’s core structure and governance remain intact.
