WisdomTree has launched a new European infrastructure ETF.
The WisdomTree Europe Infrastructure UCITS ETF
The ETF aims to provide investors with exposure to engineering and construction companies, producers of specialised infrastructure components and materials suppliers involved in infrastructure. It will avoid utilities, as well as other operators whose earnings are “primarily tied to existing networks”.
It will list on the London Stock Exchange on 18 March.
Pierre Debru, head of research, Europe at WisdomTree, said, “European infrastructure represents a theme shaped by sustained investment commitments rather than near-term economic cycles. Capital is increasingly being directed toward energy networks, transport and digital infrastructure as Europe prioritises security of supply, modernisation and resilience. This can offer investors diversified yet targeted access to companies benefitting from the construction, development and operation of real assets across Europe, alongside the potential for durable revenue profiles as these investment programs are implemented over time.”
Alexis Marinof, CEO, Europe at WisdomTree, said, “European infrastructure needs to be considered more deliberately as priorities around energy security, modernisation and resilience move to the forefront across the region. These are essential systems that require sustained investment and long-term planning rather than short-term market timing. Thematic investing can be particularly effective in this context, and our approach focuses on providing a transparent and disciplined way to engage with these structural priorities, emphasising where economic exposure is most direct rather than relying on broad market benchmarks.”
