UTG: Create Dividend Growth From AI Data Centers
Reaves Utility Income Fund remains a buy, offering a 6.2% yield and direct exposure to utility companies poised to benefit from AI-driven data center growth. UTG trades at a 0.92% premium to NAV, slightly above its five-year average, but its active management and top-heavy portfolio have outperformed peers. Growth catalysts include rising AI power demand, with holdings like TLN, ETR, VST, and EQIX forecasting robust earnings and revenue growth tied to data centers.

Utility CEFs: UTG Outshines DNP With Lower Leverage But Better Returns
After examining Reaves Utility Income Trust and DNP Select Income Fund, I favor UTG due to its lower leverage and minimal bond exposure. UTG's holdings are almost all equity with a lower leverage (~17%), while DNP holds ~21% bond allocation and uses higher leverage (~24%). Current credit spreads are unusually thin, making DNP's sizable corporate bond exposure less attractive versus UTG's equity-centric approach.
UTG: A Strong Monthly Income From Utilities
Reaves Utility Income Trust remains a buy for its attractive 6.5% yield, robust dividend coverage, and healthy NAV growth. UTG trades at a slight 0.14% discount to NAV, offering a compelling entry point relative to its historical premium. The fund's earnings can support over three years of payouts, with 79.79% of distributions delivered tax-efficiently.

UTG is downgraded from Buy to Hold after a strong rally driven by AI and data center themes. UTG's top holdings, especially merchant generators, have surged on AI-related electricity demand, but recent corrections highlight increased volatility and risk. While the AI narrative is real, not all utilities will benefit equally, and UTG's defensive profile is evolving toward a semi-growth play.
UTG Vs. UTF: The Battle Of U.S. Utilities Against Global Infrastructure
Reaves Utility Income Trust (UTG) stands out as the preferred choice over Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund (UTF) for utility and infrastructure exposure. UTG offers a stronger total return, impeccable 21-year dividend history, and lower currency/geopolitical risk compared to UTF's global infrastructure focus. UTG's US utility portfolio is less volatile and more resilient in economic downturns, while UTF is more sensitive to global economic cycles.
UTG Vs. UTF: More Reasons To Go With UTF Amid Lower Rates
The Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund offers a better return/risk profile than Reaves Utility Income Trust due to higher leverage and valuation discount. UTF benefits more from declining interest rates, as its higher leverage and interest expenses will see greater cost reductions compared to UTG. UTF currently trades at a notable yield premium and valuation discount versus UTG, enhancing its appeal for income-focused investors.
