This exchange-traded fund endeavors to replicate the investment returns of a benchmark index dedicated to the utilities industry. It is passively managed, typically striving for full replication of the index's holdings, but may adopt a sampling strategy if regulatory dictates necessitate. The portfolio includes shares of companies involved in the distribution of electricity, water, or natural gas, as well as firms operating as independent power producers.
