Fund highlights

  • The smart grid is a renovation of the electricity supply chain, which is designed to modernize how we produce, transport, use and store energy. 
  • The growth in renewables and the need to charge electric vehicles require a more flexible, “smarter” grid. We believe that those companies that provide smart grid infrastructure are poised to benefit.
  • GRID provides exposure to both cutting-edge technologies and companies in the energy space, leaving traditional fossil fuels producers behind.
  • GRID captures the growing digitalization of the electric grid and the intersection of other connectivity themes with infrastructure development. Many of these companies harness the power of enabling technologies such as cloud computing, 5G, and the IoT.
