The BNY Mellon Global Infrastructure Income ETF offers active, global infrastructure exposure with 33 holdings and a 0.55% expense ratio. BKGI has outperformed its S&P Global Infrastructure benchmark, delivering 19.4% annualized returns vs. 13.6% over the past three years. The fund targets macro themes: energy transition, 5G networks, healthcare infrastructure, and public-private partnerships, supporting long-term defensiveness.
When one thinks about infrastructure investing, they tend to think about investments like bridges, roads, utilities, and pipelines. To be fair, these all certainly do qualify.
Considering all the headwinds and tailwinds facing the global macroeconomic environment right now, one sector that could be in a particularly interesting position moving forward is infrastructure.

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.
