AI Power Infrastructure Index
Designed for ETF implementation and institutional use.
Overview
The AI Power Infrastructure Index is a rules-based equity index designed to provide targeted exposure to companies generating meaningful revenue from AI power infrastructure, including electrical systems, cooling technologies, grid infrastructure, and power supply solutions.
The index addresses a growing gap in existing AI and technology strategies, which often emphasize semiconductors and software while underrepresenting the physical infrastructure required to support accelerating AI compute demand.
Objective
The index seeks to track the performance of publicly listed companies whose business models are directly tied to the development, manufacturing, and deployment of infrastructure supporting AI-related power demand, including electrical equipment, thermal management systems, grid modernization, and energy supply solutions.
The Problem with Existing Strategies
As electricity availability, cooling capacity, and grid expansion emerge as critical bottlenecks in the AI buildout, many existing “AI” and “technology” strategies continue to focus primarily on:
- Semiconductor manufacturers
- Software and cloud providers
- Broad technology conglomerates
While relevant, these exposures often dilute targeted exposure to the physical power infrastructure enabling next-generation AI data centers and compute systems.
The Solution
The AI Power Infrastructure Index applies a transparent, rules-based methodology to identify companies with direct and measurable exposure to AI power infrastructure themes.
Key features include:
- Revenue-based eligibility thresholds
- Explicit segment-level qualification requirements
- Exposure across power, cooling, electrical, and grid infrastructure
Strict exclusion of companies without clearly disclosed infrastructure exposure
Index Construction Highlights
Eligibility: Companies must meet defined revenue thresholds tied to AI power infrastructure activities
Classification: Companies are categorized based on level of exposure (Next-Gen, Core Infrastructure, Power Supply, Supporting)
Weighting: Multi-factor scoring based on revenue exposure, market capitalization, and liquidity
Rebalancing: Quarterly
Reconstitution: Semi-annual
Differentiation
The index is designed to deliver:
- Targeted exposure to the infrastructure powering AI compute growth
- Exposure across electrical systems, cooling, grid modernization, and energy supply
- Reduced reliance on broad semiconductor-heavy AI strategies
- Transparent and repeatable rules-based construction
Use Case
The index is designed to serve as the underlying benchmark for:
- Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
- Institutional investment products
- Thematic mandates focused on AI infrastructure and power demand growth
Availability
The index is available for licensing and partnership with ETF issuers and investment product providers.
