Vanguard Global Infrastructure Index ETF · Vanguard
Companies around the developed world that own and operate infrastructure — things like toll roads, airports, utilities and pipelines (the FTSE Developed Core Infrastructure index).
What the fee costs you
The management fee is 0.47% a year. Here’s what that works out to in dollars:
A 0.47% yearly fee works out to about $47 a year per $10,000 invested.
A rough guide based on the headline fee only. Other costs (such as brokerage or buy/sell spreads) aren’t included.

Its character
A sector fund focused on infrastructure businesses, which tend to earn steady, regulated income — so it behaves differently from a broad share fund and is more sensitive to interest rates.
What to keep in mind
Concentrated in one slice of the market (infrastructure), so it's less diversified by sector than a broad fund; it also carries currency movements for an Australian holder.
