Overview

How is this fund different to others?

Infrastructure is the backbone of modern societies, benefiting from guaranteed government contracts and limited competition. It follows that companies involved in this space have stable cash flows and are hedged against inflation. Through this fund you can invest in global companies which derive at least 70% of their cash flows from infrastructure lines of business, which adds an element of reliability to a portfolio. Closely tied to economic growth, exposure to infrastructure can benefit investors long-term. This fund tracks the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index and covers all sectors of the infrastructure market.

Risk

The risk indicator reflects how much the value of the Fund’s assets goes up and down (volatility). A higher risk generally means higher potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along the way. The lowest risk rating doesn’t mean “risk-free” and this risk indicator is not a guarantee of a Fund’s future performance.
