“Infrastructure investment has become attractive because of growing global demand, increasing opportunities for private sector investment, and high barriers to entry that limit competition,” said Michael Sapir, Chairman and CEO of ProShare Advisors LLC, ProShares’ investment advisor. “We are pleased to offer the first ETF that invests exclusively in companies whose primary business is the ownership and operation of infrastructure.”
About the Index
TOLZ tracks the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Composite. Its pure-play approach focuses on companies whose assets include airports, toll roads, ports, communications, electricity distribution, oil and gas storage and transport, and water in both developed and emerging markets. To be included in the index, companies must derive more than 70% of their cash flows from infrastructure assets. The index excludes companies that supply services such as construction and engineering to the infrastructure industry.
Since its 2008 inception, the index has generated better returns with lower volatility than both the S&P 500 and the MSCI World Index.(1)
