UTES: Better For Investing In Vistra And Constellation
Vistra Corp. and Constellation Energy have surged due to their roles in powering AI data centers, with Vistra's diversified energy mix and strong earnings performance driving its rally. The Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF offers a diversified investment in utilities powering AI infrastructures, providing lower valuation multiples and reduced idiosyncratic risk compared to individual stocks.

UTES: A Strong Performing ETF Thanks To Active Management
Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF has been benefiting from the ETF's active management, with Reaves being an infrastructure-focused investment firm. The managers have successfully positioned the fund into a concentrated portfolio to benefit from the rising demand for powering the AI revolution. UTES may not provide a distribution yield that is as attractive as its CEF counterpart, UTG, but they could complement each other well.

The Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF is an actively managed ETF focused on the Utilities sector. UTES has delivered a stunning 57% return in the past year, driven by AI data center energy demand. However, despite impressive short-term gains, I am cautious about the UTES ETF and the AI investment theme, as I see similarities between AI and the dot-com bubble.
