Nuveen US Infrastructure ETF (NUIF) is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide exposure to infrastructure equities primarily through U.S. and select global infrastructure issuers. The fund targets long-term growth of capital and income by investing in equity securities of infrastructure-related companies that own or operate essential structures, facilities, and services across transportation, energy, utilities, communications, and related sectors; it emphasizes diversified access to infrastructure growth with a focus on companies that exhibit stable cash flows and sustainable dividend profiles. NUIF is managed by Nuveen, a global asset management organization with a broad platform of infrastructure investment capabilities, and operates within a framework that combines active security selection and passive index considerations to capture infrastructure investment opportunities.
Geographic footprint and operations are centered in the United States with exposure to select non-U.S. infrastructure equities to diversify risk and capture global infrastructure themes. The fund is structured to provide a total return approach, incorporating income from dividends and potential capital appreciation over the long term, and aligns with investors seeking portfolio defensive characteristics and potential inflation-hedging attributes associated with infrastructure assets. The investment vehicle is closely tied to Nuveen’s broader infrastructure platform, which aggregates research, sourcing, and portfolio construction capabilities across global infrastructure markets.
