Our read on SIMS
BMost infrastructure funds own the concrete and the toll booths. SIMS tracks an S&P Kensho index built around the smart version of that buildout, roughly 50 stocks at 0.45% a year.
The fund seeks to track the S&P Kensho Intelligent Infrastructure Index before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- At 0.45% a year it undercuts the typical infrastructure ETF fee, and comes in below PAVE's 0.47%.
- Roughly 50 stocks from S&P's Kensho intelligent infrastructure index, not the usual utility and pipeline roster wearing a theme label.
- Live since 2017 under State Street, so a niche theme comes with a real track record and a large issuer's operational backing.
- Portfolio construction is the strong suit here, and the fund lands in the upper half of the infrastructure ETFs we grade.
Worth knowing
- Small asset base and thin trading, so spreads can widen. Limit orders matter more here than with the category's household names.
- One theme, roughly 50 names: this has been one of the choppier rides in the infrastructure group.
- Cheap for the cohort, not the cheapest in it: IFRA (0.30%) and IGF (0.37%) both charge less.
