First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure Index Fund (GRID)
GRID: Investors Are Finally Taking Electrification Seriously
The GRID ETF has outperformed the S&P500 by ~60% over the past 5-years, driven by electrical equipment, clean-tech, and smart grid infrastructure investments. Top holdings like Eaton Corp and Johnson Controls are well-positioned to benefit from growing electricity demand, AI-centric data centers, and clean energy projects. Despite a relatively high expense fee, GRID's long-term performance and significant discount to the S&P500 justify a BUY rating.
