Announcements

What is the VanEck FTSE Global Infrastructure (Hedged) ETF (IFRA)?

It’s all about infrastructure with the IFRA ETF. Access a diverse range of global infrastructure companies in the single ASX ETF.

Infrastructure companies are businesses that provide roads, bridges, railways, maintain electricity networks and other services vital to everyday life.

IFRA offers investors stable income that is inflation-linked. This is because infrastructure assets are often monopolistic and can pass on increased costs without impacting demand.  For example, road toll operators can typically increase tolls as inflation rises without impacting revenues as commuters don’t tend to stop using the roads.
