First Trust Global Infrastructure ETF (FTIE)

Profile

First Trust Global Infrastructure ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to deliver investment results that closely correspond to the price and yield performance of a targeted equity index focused on global infrastructure companies, prior to fees and expenses. It primarily invests in securities of firms engaged in the management, ownership, operation, and development of infrastructure assets worldwide, spanning sectors such as utilities, transportation, energy, telecommunications, and water services. This ETF emphasizes exposure to essential assets that support economic growth, including power grids, pipelines, airports, toll roads, and communication networks, often exhibiting resilience amid market volatility due to their regulated nature and long-term contracts. Managed by First Trust, it forms part of a broader suite of thematic strategies addressing megatrends like infrastructure modernization and energy transition. In the financial markets, the First Trust Global Infrastructure ETF plays a key role in providing diversified access to the global infrastructure theme, enabling investors to participate in sectors vital for societal and economic development without direct ownership of individual assets.
