What the fee costs you

A 0.2% yearly fee works out to about $20 a year per $10,000 invested.

Its character
A way to own essential-infrastructure businesses in one parcel: regulated utilities, transport networks and pipelines, which tend to earn steadier, often inflation-linked income. Currency-hedged, and one of the cheapest funds in VanEck's range.
What to keep in mind
Infrastructure income tends to be steadier than the broad share market, but these companies often carry a lot of debt, so they can be sensitive to interest rates. Concentrated in the US; the hedge removes currency swings but adds a cost.
