Newtalk新聞 隨 AI 應用快速擴張、能源轉型加速，加上地緣政治角力升溫，全球科技競爭逐漸從軟體與演算法，延伸至關鍵礦物及能源供應鏈。永豐投信今（15）日宣布推出「永豐全球戰略資源基金」，聚焦鈾礦、稀土及電力基礎設施三大領域，預計 10 月 19 日起展開募集，瞄準全球戰略資源需求成長與產業升級帶來的投資機會。 「未來在 AI 賽道的贏家，可能未必是擁有一堆 AI 科技公司的國家，而是掌握最多關鍵資源的國家。」永豐全球戰略資源基金擬任經理人羅嘉德在記者會上指出，隨著 AI 資料中心用電需求攀升，包括台灣在內，各國陸續重啟核電廠或擴大核能發電規模，帶動鈾礦長期需求升溫。因此，基金將鎖定全球主要鈾礦業者，包括加拿大鈾礦大廠 Cameco（CCJ），掌握核能復興帶來的商機。 除了鈾礦，銅也是基金關注的關鍵資源之一。羅嘉德表示，AI 基礎建設與電網升級均仰賴大量銅材，但新銅礦從探勘、開發到正式投產，往往需要長達 17 年，供給難以迅速跟上需求。目前國際銅價仍處歷史相對高檔，基金未來也將布局全球主要銅礦企業，包括美國自由港麥克莫蘭（Freeport-McMoRan，FCX）等。 至於電力基礎設施，基金則聚焦智慧電網與儲能。羅嘉德認為，AI 發展不僅推升發電需求，如何提升電力傳輸效率、強化電網韌性，同樣是重要課題，因此將關注全球能源設備大廠奇異維諾瓦（GE Vernova）等企業，掌握電網升級帶來的投資機會。 永豐投信指出，新基金以「大國博弈、未來科技、戰略資源」三大長期趨勢為投資主軸，透過鈾礦、稀土及電力基礎設施的多元配置，兼顧成長潛力與風險分散。其中，鈾礦受惠核能發展，稀土廣泛應用於機器人、國防科技等領域，電力基礎設施則具有相對穩定的長期需求，可望透過不同產業特性的互補，降低集中投資單一產業的風險。 永豐投信進一步表示，根據其引用的歷史指數資料，三大戰略領域組成的策略組合，近 5 年指數波動比為 1.48，反映相關資產配置的風險調整後報酬表現。不過，歷史指數績效不代表基金未來實際報酬，相關投資仍須留意商品價格、政策及金融市場波動等風險。※Newtalk提醒您：#投資一定有風險，投資有賺有賠，投資前應檢視自身能力，申購前應詳閱公開說明書。延伸閱讀：台股崩跌1655點！投信喊：AI需求撐腰、本益比合理「下檔有限」AI女團成員突宣布「懷孕暫停活動」挨轟！幕後創作者發聲道歉了出一張嘴就完工、還會自訂KPI…揭密AI代理人最強實用現場：「負責任」成人類最後角色OCP 峰會新訊號！AI電力、散熱與高速傳輸升級 台廠商機來了黃仁勳再出手！輝達5年捐2.5億美元 強化英國AI安全防線
