DIGGING INTO U.S. INFRASTRUCTURE
Seek to capture the growth of companies rebuilding and revitalizing America.
Governments and corporations are addressing America’s longstanding infrastructure needs. The latest U.S. infrastructure bill may just be the start as needs are estimated to exceed $3 trillion over the next decade.1 This significant increase in spending creates a potential opportunity for investors.
THREE REASONS TO CONSIDER INVESTING
It's time to rebuild America
The Biden administration is backing a $1 trillion proposal that if passed, would significantly increase infrastructure spending.1 IFRA provides investors access to companies that could benefit from that increased spending.
Two different opportunities
IFRA can offer exposure to companies that enable infrastructure projects with materials and steel and also provides access to companies that help deliver water, energy, and transportation.
Lowest cost access to U.S. infrastructure
At 0.30% expense ratio, IFRA is the lowest cost U.S. infrastructure ETF.2
BREAKING DOWN THE INFRASTRUCTURE VALUE CHAIN
Use case: A local water utility company wants to replace its pipes. This creates an investment opportunity in two places.
Power and utility companies
To deliver reliable water to its customers, a local water utility company begins contracting with materials providers to carry out capital improvements.
Construction and materials companies
The local pipe manufacturing company works with the water utility company to provide PVC pipes to safely deliver water and wastewater services.
