Global X AI Infrastructure ETF (ASX:AINF) is designed to provide exposure to companies involved in the physical and operational infrastructure supporting artificial intelligence. The fund seeks, before fees and expenses, to track the Mirae Asset AI Infrastructure Index. The index covers businesses involved in areas including electricity infrastructure, energy management, data-centre equipment, thermal management and the production or refinement of copper and uranium.

The ETF commenced on 28 April 2025, according to Global X. Its portfolio structure differs from technology-focused AI funds because it includes industrial, materials and energy businesses alongside technology companies. The index is rebalanced semi-annually, with the methodology covering three broad areas: power and energy infrastructure, data-centre infrastructure, and raw materials and energy sources.

Sector Allocation Shows a Broad Infrastructure Mix

The supplied ASX data places Industrials at 38.70%, making it the largest sector allocation. Basic Materials accounted for 23.84%, while Technology contributed 22.13%. Energy represented 9.48% and Utilities 5.85%.

This composition contrasts with the broader Equity Global Infrastructure category shown in the same dataset. Utilities accounted for 53.26% of that category, compared with 5.85% for AINF. Meanwhile, Basic Materials represented just 0.21% of the category against AINF's 23.84%.

The sector data therefore shows that AINF's infrastructure exposure is distributed across industrial equipment, raw materials, technology and energy rather than being concentrated primarily in regulated utilities.

Holdings and Market-Capitalisation Exposure

AINF held 31 companies in the supplied ASX data. Arista Networks represented 5.88%, Schneider Electric 5.49%, Amphenol 5.39%, Antofagasta 5.25% and Southern Copper 5.24%. Freeport-McMoRan and ABB each represented 5.04%, while GE Vernova accounted for 4.93%, Eaton 4.73% and Teck Resources 4.66%.

Global X's more recent holdings data, dated 20 July 2026, also showed a concentrated portfolio, although individual weights had changed. Arista Networks was listed at 5.58%, GE Vernova at 5.36% and Amphenol at 5.15%. The fund's holdings can therefore change as portfolio weights are adjusted.

Large-cap companies dominate the portfolio. Businesses with market capitalisations above $1 billion represented 98.75%, while the $500 million-to-$1 billion segment accounted for 0.82% and companies below $500 million represented 0.43%.

Geographic Distribution and Fund Assets

The United States represented 51.96% of the supplied portfolio. Canada accounted for 13.75%, France 6.73%, Taiwan 5.34%, the United Kingdom 5.27%, Switzerland 5.05%, Germany 4.29%, China 3.68%, Kazakhstan 2.75% and Italy 1.19%.

The latest Global X fund information reported assets under management of approximately $161.1 million as of 17 July 2026, compared with the $182 million fund-size figure in the supplied ASX snapshot. The difference reflects the different reporting dates and measures used. Global X also reported 9,711,064 shares outstanding at 17 July.

Fees and Distribution Data

AINF's management fees and costs were 0.57% per annum. The fund is not currency hedged, meaning its international holdings retain exposure to movements between the Australian dollar and the currencies of underlying investments.

The supplied ASX data records a final distribution of $0.616 per unit, with an ex-date of 2 July 2026, Record Date of 3 July and payment date of 16 July. Global X reported the distribution at 61.642748 cents per unit.

Conclusion

Global X AI Infrastructure ETF (ASX: AINF) combines exposure to industrial equipment, materials, technology, energy and utilities companies associated with the infrastructure required to support AI deployment. Its portfolio is concentrated in large-cap businesses and has a majority allocation to the United States, while substantial exposure to Canada, Europe and Asia provides geographic diversification. The fund's structure, 0.57% management cost, 31-company portfolio and latest distribution provide key measures for assessing its composition without relying on market-price performance.
