Alternative ways to invest in Algonquin Power & Utilities

Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Algonquin Power & Utilities), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Algonquin Power & Utilities is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).
