FTSE Infrastructure Indexes

Infrastructure is an asset class often seen by market participants as a diversification tool that can be used as a hedge to long-term liabilities by offering exposure to potentially stable, inflation-linked, low-beta returns.

The FTSE Infrastructure Index Series is designed to measure the performance of infrastructure and infrastructure-related listed equity securities worldwide. The series offers a variety of indexes including those that only cover companies involved in the FTSE Russell-defined “core” infrastructure activities as well as those that include companies involved in both core infrastructure and infrastructure-related activities. Versions with index weight caps placed at both the constituent-level and sector-level to ensure exposure remains diverse are available as well.

• • FTSE Infrastructure Indexes include companies that derive a minimum of 20% of their revenue from either the core infrastructure activities or the infrastructure-related activities, and a 10% cap is placed on the weight of each infrastructure-related activity.
• • FTSE Infrastructure Opportunities Indexes include companies that derive a minimum of 20% of their revenue from either the core infrastructure activities or the infrastructure-related activities.
• • FTSE Core Infrastructure Indexes include companies that derive a minimum of 65% of their revenue from core infrastructure activities. Companies with revenue only attributable to infrastructure-related activities are not eligible for the indexes.
• • FTSE Core Infrastructure 50/50 Indexes and the FTSE Core Infrastructure Capped Indexes employ capping methodology to the parent FTSE Core Infrastructure Indexes to ensure exposure to core infrastructure remains diverse and balanced.

Other FTSE Russell infrastructure indexes include the FTSE Fixed Income Core Infrastructure Index Series and the FTSE Multi-Asset Core Infrastructure Index Series, providing investors with a comprehensive, cross-asset solution.
