IndexIQ Launches Real Assets ETF

IndexIQ launched the IQ CBRE Real Assets ETF, an actively managed fund sub-advised by CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets.

IQRA seeks to provide total return, through capital growth and current income through a diversified portfolio of core real assets securities.

The portfolio seeks to invest in global real estate and infrastructure common equity securities that provide exposure to essential assets across traditional and next-generation sectors.

“Real assets, such as real estate and infrastructure, can play a meaningful role in portfolios, particularly in an environment with rising rates, continued volatility, and inflation,” says Sal Bruno, CIO of IndexIQ, in prepared remarks.

IQRA’s lead portfolio managers are Joseph Smith, Jeremy Anagnos, Jonathan Miniman and Daniel Foley, who have on average almost 25 years years of real estate and infrastructure portfolio management experience.
