VistaShares Launches the POW ETF to Provide Pure Exposure to the Power Generation Infrastructure Needed for AI to Reach Its Full Potential
The Electrification Supercycle® is seeing unprecedented investment in modern energy grids, integrated storage solutions and distributed power systems, all now accessible via POW
VistaShares, an innovative asset manager aiming to redefine thematic exposures and income strategies, is today marking the launch of the VistaShares Electrification Supercycle® ETF (NYSE:POW), a next-generation thematic ETF providing Pure Exposure™ to the energy infrastructure "picks and shovels" poised to benefit from ongoing unprecedented artificial intelligence-driven investments in modernizing energy grids, integrated storage solutions and distributed power systems.
POW is actively managed, using VistaShares' patent-pending Bill of Materials (BoM) investment process, and aims to take full advantage of the economic potential of the Electrification Supercycle®. The fund focuses on companies involved in the electrification supply chain, providing investors with Pure Exposure™ to this growing sector.
"The artificial intelligence infrastructure build-out has triggered a global arms race. The real bottleneck isn't silicon, or compute - it's power. America's electrical grid is decades old, strained by outdated transmission and distribution systems. POW targets the companies upgrading the grid's backbone - modernizing transmission lines, transformers, substations, voltage regulators and control systems - to solve America's Power Problem and unlock the next phase of the AI economy," said Adam Patti, CEO of VistaShares.
Patti adds, "Trillions are being invested to rebuild the grid. POW provides access to the grid-technology leaders rebuilding the energy highways that connect generation to innovation; an exposure critical for investors focused on the decades ahead."
POW is further distinguished by the bona fides of its investment committee. In addition to Patti, who brings decades of experience as a visionary in building ETFs and other investable solutions, the committee also includes:
- Jon McNeill, co-founder of VistaShares; CEO and Co-Founder of DVx Ventures; and former President of Tesla;
- Sunny Madra, Advisor to the Investment Committee; President of Groq; and former CEO of Definitive Intelligence;
- Justin Lopas, Advisor to the Investment Committee; Co-Founder and COO of Base Power, an energy tech company.
- Chief Investment Strategist Robert Whitelaw former Chairman of the Finance Department at NYU's Stern School of Business and Dean of the Undergraduate College.
"The committee behind POW is an all-star team of finance, investing and electrification experts," added McNeill. "As the Electrification Supercycle® accelerates, that experience will be vital in separating the companies that lead from those that will fall behind."
POW joins VistaShares' lineup of Supercycle® ETFs, which redefine how a thematic ETF should be constructed and managed, benefiting from the involvement of subject matter experts who bring decades of collective experience to the portfolio management process. The firm's first ETF, the VistaShares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle® ETF (NYSE:AIS), is approaching its one-year anniversary and has been among the top-performers in the Morningstar US Fund Technology category.
"Don't just invest in a trend, invest in the category leaders and the emerging innovators that will make the trend real," added McNeill. "That's what we've done with AIS, and it's the same approach we're bringing to the market with POW."

Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results.

Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling (844) 875-2288.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
Artificial Intelligence Risk. Issuers engaged in artificial intelligence typically have high research and capital expenditures and, as a result, their profitability can vary widely, if they are profitable at all. The space in which they are engaged is highly competitive and issuers' products and services may become obsolete very quickly. These companies are heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights.
Equity Market Risk. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from specific issuers.
Technology Sector Risks. The Fund will invest substantially in companies in the technology sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund's investments.
Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in securities or other instruments of non-U.S. issuers involve certain risks not involved in domestic investments and may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than investments in securities of U.S. companies.
Index Strategy Risk. The Fund's strategy is linked to an Index maintained by the Index Provider that exercises complete control over the Index.
New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have an extensive track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.
