IShares Global Infrastructure ETF

This product dedicates its assets to an index which tracks the performance of the global infrastructure sector. Infrastructure makes for a unique but often risky investment, as any kind of economic downturn will see new project put on halt until the economy begins to prosper. With roads, bridges, and other transportation means constantly need updating or built, an investment in infrastructure essentially means the investor is making a play on a particular government’s willingness to spend on infrastructure updates and developments. In particular, IGF gives investors a global exposure to infrastructure companies all across the world. Investors should note that this fund offers little emerging market exposure, meaning that it will be more stable, but may off less growth opportunity than a fund that allocates more of its funds to emerging market securities.
