Our read on POW
DMost grid funds buy the utilities. POW works the bill of materials instead: transformers, HVDC gear, switchgear, cooling, the parts list behind the AI power buildout, in an active book of roughly 60 names.
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by actively investing in companies involved in electrification infrastructure, including modern energy grids, integrated storage, and distributed power systems.
Why people hold it
- Buys the parts list, not the power company: transformers, HVDC systems, substation switchgear and cooling, suppliers broad indexes often skip for big energy operators.vistashares.com
- Actively managed against the BITA VistaShares Electrification Supercycle Index, with a global mandate and at least 80% of assets in electrification companies.vistashares.com
- At 0.75% it lines up with active peer VOLT and comes in under FPWR at 0.96%.
Worth knowing
- Index-based rivals cost less: ELFY and ZAP at 0.50%, GRID at 0.56%. You pay up here for the active, supply-chain-first build.
- One theme, roughly 60 names, no utility ballast. It trades on the electrification story and can swing hard in both directions.
- Launched in 2025, so the live record is short, and it sits toward the back of its electrification peer group in our review.
