Shareholders: Cast Your KraneShares Proxy Vote Today

Overview

The Fund seeks growth of capital by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in the publicly-traded or privately offered securities of AI Energy Demand Companies and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. In the case of publicly-traded securities, KraneShares determines whether a company is an “AI Energy Demand” company based on its proprietary assessment of whether the company derives at least 50% of its revenue, gross profit or revenue growth contribution from designing, developing and manufacturing:

  • AI Power Agreements & Contracted Generation: Power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) or equivalent contractual arrangements to supply dedicated electricity to artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center operators, hyperscale cloud providers, or other large-scale technology-driven power consumers. Owning, operating, or developing power generation assets—including nuclear, natural gas, coal, hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, wind, or hybrid facilities—from which contracted or anticipated output is materially directed toward AI or high-performance computing (“HPC”) load, and pursuing capacity additions, plant restarts, fuel conversions, or license renewals specifically in connection with AI-driven power demand.
  • Power Generation Technologies & Infrastructure: Electricity generation technologies across any fuel source, including nuclear fission reactors, natural gas-fired combined cycle and peaking plants, hydrogen and natural gas fuel cell systems, geothermal systems, hydroelectric facilities, and utility-scale solar and wind assets, supply chain components supporting these generation technologies, including fuel supply, reactor components, turbines, and generators, and engineering, procurement, and construction (“EPC”) and operations and maintenance (“O&M”) services for power generation facilities.
  • Grid Modernization & Electrical Infrastructure: High-voltage power transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, electrical bus systems, and distribution equipment used to connect new generation capacity to load centers, electrical contracting, power grid construction, high-voltage transmission line installation, and substation engineering and procurement services, and power management electronics, electrical enclosures, and data center power distribution and conditioning systems.
  • On-Site & Distributed Power Systems: Distributed generation systems—including hydrogen and natural gas fuel cells, on-site reciprocating engine generators, microturbines, and other dispatchable behind-the-meter (“BTM”) generation technologies—designed to provide firm, uninterruptible power directly to data centers or industrial facilities, and microgrids, virtual power plants (“VPPs”), or integrated energy management systems that aggregate and optimize distributed generation assets to serve AI or HPC load.
  • Grid-Scale Energy Storage & Power Management: Grid-scale battery energy storage systems (“BESS”), flow batteries, long-duration energy storage (“LDES”) technologies, and pumped hydro or other mechanical storage systems that enhance the reliability, dispatchability, and resilience of power delivery to AI and HPC infrastructure, and energy management software, demand response platforms, and power analytics systems that optimize electricity procurement, consumption, or delivery for large-scale technology-driven power consumers.
