AIPO ETF, to bet on power-hungry AI trend? Deep dive on what ETF is holding, by INVESTeaDI.

AIPO focuses on US-listed companies generating a significant share of their revenue from AI and power infrastructure. It holds firms involved in decentralized energy, electric grid equipment, nuclear and battery technology, data center operations, engineering for energy and data projects, and AI computing hardware. The index uses a rules-based approach, screening eligible companies by revenue exposure, size, and liquidity. It applies a tiered weighting system, allocating half its weight to power generation and grid equipment, with the rest split among construction, utilities, and AI hardware and data centers. Within each segment, holdings are weighted by free-float market cap, subject to caps. The fund uses a passive strategy, aiming to replicate the index by holding all or a representative sample of its components. Rebalancing occurs quarterly to reflect changes in the underlying industries and maintain alignment with the defined AI and power infrastructure themes.

Power Generation & Electric Grid Equipment
Construction & Engineering (e.g., data center/grid builds)
Electric Utilities & Independent Power Producers
Data Centers & AI Hardware
Existing Constituent Buffer: According to the underlying index methodology (MarketVector™ US Listed AI & Power Infrastructure Index), new additions must strictly hit the 50% threshold, whereas existing index constituents can typically remain in the index at a lower buffer threshold (down to 25%) to preve

That tiered weighting is the part I care about most. Does the prospectus spell out a hard revenue exposure threshold for the AI and power theme, or is there committee discretion too
