The Index serves as the underlying benchmark for the\u00a0Global X US Infrastructure Development ETF (Ticker: PAVE), which began trading today on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Indxx U.S. Infrastructure Development Index is designed to measure the performance of companies that provide exposure to infrastructure development in the United States. This includes companies involved in the construction and engineering of infrastructure projects; the production of infrastructure raw materials, composites, and products; producers\/distributors of heavy construction equipment; and companies engaged in the transportation of infrastructure materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A New Era for U.S. Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave America\u2019s infrastructure a grade of C- in their 2021 Infrastructure Report Card. This is the first time in 20 years that America has been ranked out of the D range.1<\/p>\n<p>The Congress has passed several bills, such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the CHIPS and Science Act that will cumulatively invest over $1.2 trillion in modernizing infrastructure in the<\/p>\n<p><strong>United States between 2021 and 2030.2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rahul Sen Sharma, President and Co-CEO at Indxx said, \u201cInfrastructure is the\u00a0backbone of a nation\u2019s economy, facilitating trade, enhancing communication,\u00a0creating job opportunities, and powering businesses. Between 2021 and 2023, the government has invested over $120 billion in U.S infrastructure.2\u00a0As of May 2024, private companies have announced $866 billion in manufacturing investments.3\u00a0The increasing public and private investments in infrastructure provide a promising outlook for this industry. The success of the Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (NYSE: PAVE) listed in the United States which tracks our Indxx US Infrastructure Development Index, is a testament to this potential. With over $7.5 billion in assets, the US-listed PAVE\u2019s success\u00a0highlights investor confidence in the promising future of infrastructure investments.

To be eligible for inclusion, companies must generate more than 50% of their revenue within the United States, ensuring a targeted and accurate representation of the U.S. infrastructure industry. We are excited to introduce this innovative strategy to the Australian market through Global X ETFs Australia.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Evan Metcalf, CEO at Global X ETFs in Australia said,\u00a0\u201cPAVE is a strategic\u00a0addition to the company\u2019s product suite which not only fills a gap in\u00a0the market, but client portfolios.
