"Utilities continue to outperform defensive peers due to massive structural demand from AI, electrification, and an overlooked multi-decade requirement to double high-voltage transmission capacity."
During 3Q 2025, the Utilities Plus strategy delivered positive returns, driven by AI enthusiasm, expected rate cuts, and structural power demand. While power generation has been a key market focus, Miller/Howard emphasizes the under-appreciated and massive capital expenditure opportunity in high-voltage transmission, pointing to a DOE study calling for a doubling of capacity by 2050. The fund actively managed portfolio valuations by trimming positions in premium-multiple names (NiSource, CenterPoint) and adding a new position in NRG Energy to capture power market tightness and data center pricing power.
