The BNY Mellon Global Infrastructure Income ETF is designed to achieve substantial long-term capital growth while also aiming for an impressive annualized gross forward-looking yield of 6% or higher, though this target is not assured. A key advantage of its infrastructure investments—encompassing essential services like utilities, energy transportation, and communication networks—is their inherent inflation linkage, often tied to the Consumer Price Index.

The fund adopts a unique and comprehensive approach, allocating capital across both traditional infrastructure sectors (such as energy, industrials, and utilities) and non-traditional areas (including communication services, healthcare facilities, and real estate). This expansive strategy significantly broadens the investment opportunities within the infrastructure space. For investors, it represents a strategic equity allocation focusing on robust, defensive business models that consistently generate quarterly dividend income. Furthermore, its liquid ETF structure provides the convenience of buying or selling shares anytime the market is open. ### What is the expense ratio of BKGI?
