Investment Thesis

AI data centres, EVs and reshoring all need one thing first: more grid. GRID owns the toll collectors of that build-out, and its $12B of assets and +21% year say the market has noticed the power bottleneck. A decade-long capex theme priced as an industrial fund.

Who It's For

Investors playing the electrification super-cycle — the grid hardware behind AI power demand — through established industrials.
