Considering that the Federal Reserve has been meeting this week, it's safe to say that inflation is likely front-and-center on the minds of many advisors and investors. After all, energy prices and supply chain constraints have kept inflationary pressures far more persistent than the Fed would like.
Broadly speaking, when advisors and investors are looking to dial into a particular sector for their portfolio, it's usually for either an offensive or defensive means. An infrastructure ETF can play both offense and defense, especially right now.
It seems like the momentum for the BNY Mellon Global Infrastructure Income ETF (BKGI) won't slow down any time soon. After hitting $1 billion in assets under management back in May, the fund has continued to pick up steam, sitting at a little over $1.1 billion in AUM as of June 23, 2026.

This fund is tailored towards investors looking to capitalize on the dividends paid by infrastructure companies across the globe, including the United States. It is designed for those who believe in the growth potential of infrastructure and are seeking a focused investment solution. By allocating at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in these securities, the fund offers a targeted approach to dividend-yielding infrastructure investments. It maintains a strategic global presence by ensuring a minimum investment of 40% (or at least 30% under certain market conditions) in foreign companies, thereby offering diversification across geographies. It operates with a non-diversified status, indicating a concentrated approach to investing in a smaller number of securities, which could lead to higher volatility and risk.
Focuses on investing a significant portion of the fund's assets in dividend-paying infrastructure companies worldwide. This includes utilities, transportation, and other essential services that are pivotal for economic growth and development. By doing so, it aims to provide investors with exposure to the infrastructure sector's potential stable and growing income through dividends.
Maintains a robust global investment strategy by ensuring that a considerable portion of its assets is invested in companies located outside of the United States. This strategy is designed to capitalize on the growth opportunities present in foreign markets and to provide a layer of geographical diversification to the investment portfolio. The fund invests at least 40% of its net assets, or at least 30% under specific market conditions, in these foreign entities.
Adopts a non-diversified investment approach, allowing it to invest in a smaller number of securities than a typical diversified fund. This strategy can potentially offer greater returns due to the concentrated exposure to a few carefully selected companies. However, it also means there's a higher level of risk associated with the investment, as the fund's performance is more closely tied to the performance of these select securities.
