Pacer American Energy Infrastructure ETF (USAI) focuses on investments in companies involved in the energy infrastructure sector, primarily in North America. The ETF aims to provide exposure to firms that are engaged in the production, transportation, and storage of energy resources, capitalizing on the growing demand for energy infrastructure amidst a transition to cleaner energy sources.
