U.S. electricity demand is climbing at a pace not seen since the post-World War II electrification era. However, according to one index architect — investors may be eyeing the wrong corner of the trade.
Participate in artificial intelligence (AI) investing long enough and you're apt to hear plenty about this disruptive technology's substantial power demands. Market participants know the anecdotes.
Between rising demand created by artificial intelligence data centers and the pressing need to shore up energy grids, market participants hear plenty about the electrification infrastructure investment thesis. It's one rooted in sound fundamentals and accessible via select ETFs, including the ALPS Electrification Infrastructure ETF (ELFY).

The company described is a financial investment fund that specializes in investing in equity securities of companies with strong ties to China or Hong Kong. This specialization is evident in the fund’s investment strategy, which commits at least 80% of its net assets, along with any borrowed funds used for investment purposes, to such securities. The companies in its investment radar include those that are either incorporated under the laws of China or Hong Kong, primarily trade their shares on Chinese or Hong Kong stock exchanges, or those that, while possibly listed elsewhere, derive at least half of their revenue from operations within China or Hong Kong. This focus allows the fund to capitalize on the economic growth and market opportunities within these regions. Notably, the fund is characterized as non-diversified, which generally means it concentrates investments in a smaller number of issuers, thereby potentially increasing the risk and volatility of its portfolio compared to diversified funds.
This service involves the purchase of stocks or equities in companies that are significantly connected to the China or Hong Kong markets as described. By targeting these securities, the fund aims to provide investors with a window to participate in the economic dynamics of these regions through companies they believe are poised for growth or are already demonstrating strong performance.
Apart from investing in companies directly listed on China or Hong Kong exchanges, the fund extends its portfolio to include firms that, although listed on external exchanges, obtain at least 50% of their revenue from these two regions. This diversified approach allows the fund to explore a broader spectrum of investment opportunities in companies benefiting from the Chinese and Hong Kong markets without being limited to the local exchanges.
The emphasis on non-diversification signifies a strategic choice to invest in a smaller number of stocks, potentially leading to higher risk but also offering the possibility of higher returns. This approach focuses on intense research and a selective investment process, aiming to invest in what are perceived to be high-potential companies rather than spreading investments across a wide range of securities.
