VPU

VPU is an exchange‑traded fund that provides exposure to U.S. publicly traded utilities companies, including electricity, gas, water, and renewable‑energy providers. The fund seeks to track the performance of a market‑capitalization‑weighted utilities index, holding primarily common stocks of large and mid‑size firms that meet the index’s eligibility criteria. By focusing on the defensive utilities sector, VPU offers investors a way to add income‑oriented, low‑volatility equity exposure to a diversified portfolio, making it suitable for long‑term investors seeking sector balance, income stability, or a hedge against economic downturns.
