Reasons to Consider PAVE

Compelling Need

The American Society of Civil Engineers assigned a letter grade of C- to the state of US infrastructure in its 2021 report card, highlighting the need for investment.1

Multiple Long-Term Catalysts

America is committed to improving its aging infrastructure. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Inflation Reduction Act, and CHIPS and Science Act appropriated nearly US$1 trillion to fund critical infrastructure projects.

Unconstrained Approach

As the economy evolves, so do infrastructure needs. PAVE seeks to capture this trend by investing in companies that are part of the infrastructure theme, regardless of sector or industry classification.

FAQs

  • Why invest in US infrastructure development?

    Infrastructure is one of the backbones of economic prosperity and societal well-being, and in the fast-paced modern era, it has never been more crucial. Despite being the world’s leading economy, the US’s outdated infrastructure assets are in dire need of a 21st century overhaul.

    According to the World Infrastructure Hub, the US currently requires at least US$3.8 trillion in additional investment to adequately repair existing infrastructure and keep pace with economic expansion.1 This figure marks the largest single country infrastructure investment gap in the world.2 However, these circumstances may soon change, as the US has sought to aggressively address these issues over the past few years. The IIJA, IRA, and CHIPS Acts introduced by the US government over the past three years offer billions in funding and incentives, showcasing an intent to foster a resurgence in US infrastructure investment. Backed by government policy, infrastructure development firms such as those focused on engineering, procurement of raw materials, and distribution of heavy machinery, could see a significant increase in demand, thus providing exposure to revenues derived from increased spending on both publicly and privately funded infrastructure projects.

  • How are the companies in the index identified and weighted?

    Global X US Infrastructure Development ETF (PAVE) seeks to track the Indxx U.S. Infrastructure Development Index which aims to capture the performance of companies that have or are expected to have significant exposure to infrastructure development in the United States.

    Companies are only eligible for inclusion if:

    • They have a minimum total market capitalisation of US$300 million.

    • They have a primary listing in the US.

    • They generate at least 50% of their revenues from the US.

    • They derive a significant portion of their revenues from construction and engineering, raw materials, products and equipment, or industrial transportation.

    The top 100 identified infrastructure development companies by market capitalisation will form the final index. Components are weighted according to market capitalisation subject to a maximum weight of 3% and minimum weight of 0.3%.

    For more information on the index methodology, please visit https://www.indxx.com/

  • How does PAVE invest in infrastructure companies?

    PAVE is a full replication ETF which tracks the Indxx U.S. Infrastructure Development Index by holding all securities in the same weighting as the index. PAVE shares an index with the CBOE-listed (US) Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (PAVE), which is managed by the Global X team in New York. PAVE (CBOE) is the largest infrastructure development ETF in the world with more than US$7.7 billion in assets under management as of June 2024.3

    3. Bloomberg. (n.d.) Accurate as of April 2024.

  • What are the benefits of using an ETF to access infrastructure development?

    An ETF allows diversified access to infrastructure companies at a low cost and reduced risk compared to individual stock picking. For example, the Global X US Infrastructure Development ETF (PAVE) seeks to invest in the full value-chain of companies that stand to benefit from the increased investment in infrastructure including construction and engineering, the production of raw materials, producers and distributors of heavy construction equipment, and companies engaged in the transportation of materials.

  • How can you use PAVE in a portfolio?

    • As a satellite portfolio component to gain exposure to increased infrastructure spending in the US.

    • As a thematic tilt towards other megatrends such as clean energy, electrification, and infrastructure for disruptive technologies.

    • As an alternative for traditional global infrastructure exposures or a diversification tool for major indices such as the S&P 500 and ASX 200.

    • To capture the resurgence of US infrastructure through companies that can derive additional revenues from increased spending infrastructure projects and stand to earn these additional revenues regardless of whether the project is maintenance of existing assets or developing new infrastructure.

    • It must be noted PAVE’s targeted approach may expose investors to sector concentration risk and is designed to be used as a satellite holding as a part of a well-diversified portfolio.
