Our read on POWR

ETF.net Research

In short

BMost infrastructure funds blend roads, ports and airports. POWR skips all that for electricity: US energy supply, generation, transmission, distribution and storage, about 70 names, at a fee below the typical infrastructure fund.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks exposure to U.S. companies involved across the power infrastructure value chain, including energy supply, generation, transmission, distribution, and storage.

Why people hold it

  • One theme, end to end: US energy supply, power generation, transmission, distribution and storage, rather than a general infrastructure grab bag.ishares.com
  • At 0.39% it undercuts the median infrastructure ETF fee and lands below peers like PAVE (0.47%) and TOLZ (0.46%).
  • Standard iShares index plumbing: roughly 70 US stocks, quarterly distributions, and top-quartile standing in a crowded infrastructure peer group.ishares.com

Worth knowing

  • Old shell, new job. The fund dates to 2012, but it tracked a global energy producers index through October 28, 2025; the power mandate began after that.ishares.com
  • Concentrated by design: about 70 US stocks in one slice of the market, so utility regulation and power-demand sentiment move it more than the broad index does.
  • Trading is moderate rather than heavy at this asset size, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the biggest infrastructure funds.
