VBLD gives you exposure to global listed infrastructure, companies that own toll roads, airports, electricity networks, water utilities, gas pipelines, and communication towers. These businesses typically operate under long-term contracts with regulated or concession-based revenue, providing more predictable income than many other sectors. Revenues for many infrastructure assets have contractual links to inflation, providing some pricing power. Infrastructure tends to be interest rate sensitive, rising rates generally weigh on infrastructure valuations as they do with bonds.
Based on publicly available fund data. Not a recommendation to buy or sell.
