The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities of companies positioned to benefit from increased U.S. electricity demand and electrification trends, including those engaged in conventional electricity generation, transmission, and distribution; alternative electricity generation and technology solutions; and the modernization, development, manufacturing, or implementation of grid infrastructure and smart grid technology. It primarily targets U.S.-focused companies across utilities (approximately 70.8% sector weight), industrials (22.9%), materials (6.3%), and consumer discretionary (0.1%), with top holdings such as AMETEK Inc., Quanta Services Inc., National Grid PLC ADR, Consolidated Edison Inc., and NextEra Energy Inc. ZAP serves investors seeking exposure to electrification tailwinds driven by AI data centers, electric vehicle adoption, manufacturing resurgence, and grid expansion needs, projecting U.S. electricity demand growth of 35-50% between 2024 and 2040.
