FlexShares STOXX® Global Broad Infrastructure Index Fund (NFRA)

FUND FOCUS

Investors seeking income and portfolio diversification may benefit from infrastructure investments. Our analysis suggests that infrastructure issuers tend to have predictable cash flows as they provide essential services used in all economic environments.

Access to the future of Infrastructure. NFRA utilizes a bottoms-up portfolio construction approach that expands the traditional infrastructure definition and allows for a broader inclusion of new and evolving infrastructure sectors such as communications (data centers, wireless) and outsourced services.
Potential inflation protection. Infrastructure assets may offer a way to protect against the risk of long-term inflation. When inflation rises, most infrastructure operators have historically passed through the cost increases to users per long-term contracts that typically underpin infrastructure business models.
