KB Asset Management Launches RISE US AI Electricity Infrastructure Active ETF Tracking the Solactive US AI Electricity Infrastructure Index

FRANKFURT AM MAIN – Solactive is pleased to continue its collaboration with KB Asset Management with the launch of the RISE US AI Electricity Infrastructure Active ETF, an ETF tracking the Solactive US AI Electricity Infrastructure Index. The product is designed to provide exposure to companies supporting the electricity infrastructure underpinning the continued expansion of artificial intelligence technologies, including data centers, grid modernization, and energy storage solutions.

The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, particularly generative and inference AI, is contributing to rising electricity demand driven by increasingly energy-intensive computing requirements. As AI deployment accelerates, reliable power generation, grid stability, and energy storage solutions are becoming essential to support scalable and resilient digital infrastructure. These developments are increasing attention on electricity infrastructure as a market theme associated with the expansion of AI-related technologies.

The Solactive US AI Electricity Infrastructure Index comprises 20 U.S.-listed companies with business exposure to the electrification of AI infrastructure that meet minimum liquidity and free-float market capitalization requirements. Constituents are selected using ARTIS®, Solactive’s proprietary natural language processing algorithm, which identifies companies with exposure to AI data center and critical power infrastructure, power grid and electrification solutions, and energy storage and power conversion technologies. The index applies a blended weighting approach combining relevance scores and free-float market capitalization, with individual weights capped to support diversification. The index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis and includes a monthly review to incorporate eligible initial public offerings.

The ETF was listed on 7 April 2026 on the Korean Exchange with the ticker code “0176E0.KS”.

Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, commented:

"We are pleased to further strengthen our collaboration with KB Asset Management with this launch.
