Our read on IGF
AAbout 80 developed-market infrastructure companies in one ticker, tracked against the S&P Global Infrastructure Index since 2007, for 0.37% a year (well under the category norm).
The Fund seeks to track an index of developed-market equities focused on the infrastructure industry.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.37% a year against a cohort median of 0.55%, so the toll on a long hold is smaller than most infrastructure funds charge.
- The one other fund on the same S&P Global Infrastructure Index, GII, charges 0.40%. Same benchmark, cheaper wrapper here.
- Trading since December 2007, now a multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund that has tracked its index closely.
- Goes global where the biggest peers stay home: IFRA and PAVE are US-only, while this one spans developed markets worldwide.
Worth knowing
- About 80 holdings in one industry. A concentrated basket, so a bad stretch for utilities or transport operators shows up fast.
- Distributions arrive once or twice a year, not monthly, and foreign holdings bring currency swings along with the dividends.
- Developed markets only. The fast-building infrastructure of emerging economies sits outside the mandate.
