IGFAiShares Global Infrastructure ETF

TPZDTortoise Electrification Infrastructure ETF

In short

IGF About 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).

TPZ Most infrastructure funds buy the whole board: airports, toll roads, pipelines. TPZ narrows to power and energy infrastructure with a stated emphasis on stable, defensive names. A specialist in a cohort of generalists.

Stated mandate

IGF The Fund seeks to track an index of developed-market equities focused on the infrastructure industry.

TPZ The Fund seeks exposure primarily to power and energy infrastructure companies, with an emphasis on stable and defensive investments.

Why people hold it

  • IGF 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.
  • TPZ Most of this cohort buys infrastructure wholesale. IGF, GII and TOLZ sweep in transport, utilities and the rest. TPZ stays on the power and energy side.
  • The defensive tilt sits in the mandate itself, which calls for an emphasis on stable and defensive investments, not just in the marketing.
  • A late-2024 launch built around electrification infrastructure from the start, rather than a broad infrastructure index with some power names in it.

Worth knowing

  • IGF 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.
  • TPZ At 0.85%, it runs above the 0.55% cohort median and well above index rivals like IFRA (0.30%) and IGF (0.37%). The narrow lens carries a price.
  • It is a small fund and thinly traded, so the bid-ask spread can cost more than the fee for anyone moving in and out on short notice.
  • Distributions arrive on an irregular schedule, and the end-2024 launch leaves a short record to judge it by.
