IQRA, the actively managed ETF will invest across real estate and infrastructure equity securities.

IndexIQ has launched its latest ETF, the actively managed IQ CBRE Real Assets ETF (IQRA) sub-advised by CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets LLC. The ETF aims to provide total returns through a diversified portfolio of core real assets securities that seek to generate capital growth and current income.

CBRE IM’s Global Listed Real Assets Investment Team will manage the portfolio by seeking opportunities at the sector and stock level, selecting essential and thematic assets that may be conventional or next gen. These investments may be generating either regulated or contractual cash flows. (CBREIM)

The lead portfolio managers for IQRA are Joseph Smith, Jeremy Anagnos, Jonathan Miniman, and Daniel Foley, who have an average of almost 25 years of real estate and infrastructure portfolio management experience.

The addition of the IQRA, the IQ CBRE Real Assets ETF, to IndexIQ’s actively managed and real assets-focused offerings further enhances their solutions-driven lineup. Additionally, this ETF builds upon their partnership with CBRE IM, who serves as the index construction consultant for the IQ CBRE NextGen Real Estate ETF.

In a market characterized by rising rates, volatility, and inflation, real assets like real estate and infrastructure can be valuable components of investment portfolios.
