The fund seeks long-term total return, and also targets, but does not guarantee, an annualized gross forward-looking 12-month yield of 6% or more for its portfolio1 (the "targeted yield"). Generally, infrastructure assets (such as utilities, oil and gas pipelines, communication services and providers of these services) often contain inflation links* tied to the Consumer Price Index, which may help investors mitigate the erosive pressure of rising costs. The fund provides a differentiated infrastructure approach - focusing on both traditional (energy, industrials and utilities) and non-traditional infrastructure assets (communication services, health care and real estate), which can provide a broader opportunity set in the infrastructure space. Infrastructure exposure offers investors an additional equity allocation with a focus on defensive business models and quarterly dividend income. Liquid ETF structure allows investors to buy or sell any time the market is open.
