Wedbush Fund Advisers, LLC has launched the Dan IVES Wedbush AI Power & Infrastructure ETF, which tracks the Solactive Wedbush AI Power & Infrastructure Index. The ETF is designed to provide investors with targeted exposure to companies positioned to benefit from the growing need for electricity generation, grid expansion, and energy-efficient technologies supporting the buildout of AI and digital infrastructure. This launch builds on the thematic vision and research of acclaimed technology analyst Dan Ives, whose perspective on the next phase of AI adoption played a central role in shaping the index’s design and focus.
The rapid expansion of AI adoption is reshaping the physical infrastructure required to support the digital economy. As additional AI-focused data centers come online, demand is increasing for reliable electricity generation, transmission capacity, grid modernization, and technologies that improve energy efficiency across increasingly power-intensive systems.
The Solactive Wedbush AI Power & Infrastructure Index is constructed using the research of technology analyst Dan Ives. ARTIS®, Solactive’s proprietary natural language processing technology, is used to establish a broad starting universe of companies relevant to AI infrastructure and electrification. From there, defined market capitalization and trading volume thresholds are applied, and companies must be included in the Wedbush Industry Note on Disruptive Technology titled, Physical Foundation of the AI Revolution: Energy a Key Beneficiary of Buildout (the “Wedbush Research Note”), to be eligible for selection.
The index applies a modified market capitalization weighting approach, seeking to provide diversified and meaningful exposure across the AI power and infrastructure value chain. It is rebalanced quarterly, with additional updates possible following the publication of changes to the Wedbush Research Note.
The ETF listed on 8th April 2026 on NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol IVEP.
Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, commented: “After the successful launch of the Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF last year, we are pleased to extend our collaboration with Wedbush Fund Advisers to the infrastructure side of the AI buildout. This is a prime example of how differentiated research can be combined with tailored index engineering to create targeted market access to one of the most important enablers of AI adoption.”
“As AI adoption accelerates, energy and infrastructure are emerging as key drivers,” said Matt Bromberg, Chief Operating Officer of Wedbush Fund Advisers. “AI implementation and adoption ultimately require energy, and the scale of demand is creating meaningful opportunities for the companies enabling that buildout. We designed IVEP to provide investors access to this physical backbone of AI.”
