A New Era for U.S. Infrastructure

• The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave America’s infrastructure a grade of C- in their 2021 Infrastructure Report Card. This is the first time in 20 years that America has been ranked out of the D range.1
• The Congress has passed several bills, such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the CHIPS and Science Act that will cumulatively invest over $1.2 trillion in modernizing infrastructure in the United States between 2021 and 2030. 2

Rahul Sen Sharma, President and Co-CEO at Indxx said, “Infrastructure is the backbone of a nation’s economy, facilitating trade, enhancing communication, creating job opportunities, and powering businesses. Between 2021 and 2023, the government has invested over $120 billion in U.S infrastructure.2 As of May 2024, private companies have announced $866 billion in manufacturing investments. 3 The increasing public and private investments in infrastructure provide a promising outlook for this industry. The success of the Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (NYSE: PAVE) listed in the United States which tracks our Indxx US Infrastructure Development Index, is a testament to this potential. With over $7.5 billion in assets, the US-listed PAVE’s success highlights investor confidence in the promising future of infrastructure investments.

We are excited to introduce this innovative strategy to the Australian market through Global X ETFs Australia.”

Evan Metcalf, CEO at Global X ETFs in Australia said, “PAVE is a strategic addition to the company’s product suite which not only fills a gap in the market, but client portfolios. Infrastructure development is critical for the growth and modernisation of any economy. Within the U.S., recent legislative acts are directing substantial funding towards infrastructure, signalling enormous growth potential for companies in this sector. This investment opportunity aligns strongly with our core investment thesis of research and innovation. Building on our successful track record of pioneering thematic products in Australia – including our recent launch of GXAI which also tracks an index administered by Indxx – we are excited to introduce this unique infrastructure development ETF to Australian investors.”
