The Vanguard Utilities ETF (VPU) offers a 2.5% dividend yield and has historically delivered 10% annualized total returns. With a $10,000 investment generating $250 in annual dividend income, the fund is well-positioned for future growth as U.S. power demand is expected to surge 58% over the next 20 years, driven by AI data centers and electric vehicles. Key holdings like NextEra Energy and Constellation Energy are positioned to benefit from this demand growth.

The fund holds 69 dividend aristocrat stocks with a 2.55% dividend yield and is suitable for patient, long-term investors seeking stable income.

These companies offer different risk profiles for investors seeking exposure to the AI power infrastructure buildout.
