The Case for Investing in the New Electricity ETF

You can now invest in electricity through ETFs, but should you? The CNIC ICE US Carbon Neutral Power Futures Index ETF (AMPD) is the first U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund to offer direct exposure to the power market, and according to Timothy Kramer, CEO of CNIC Funds, there are a lot of compelling reasons to consider the fund. 

In this episode of Talk ETFs, Kramer sits down with etf.com senior analyst Sumit Roy to discuss his bullish thesis. 

Kramer says that investing in electricity futures offers investors inflation protection, portfolio diversification and exposure to secular growth themes, including the clean energy transition, crypto and artificial intelligence. 

Timothy J. Kramer has over 25 years of industry experience as a Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) and portfolio manager. Kramer was the CCO for various Blackstone Group portfolio companies, including Kindle Energy, Lightstone Generation, Lonestar Generation and Transmission Developers Inc.
