“The state of the U.S.’s infrastructure is in need of renewal and an upgrade in order to support a growing population and the goals of environmental sustainability and climate resiliency. In fact, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave the U.S. a C- grade for its overall infrastructure in 2021, with sub-sectors including energy, hazardous waste and transit all earning D+ grades or worse,” said Michael Cohick, Director of Product Management with VanEck. “Fortunately, government initiatives and private sector innovations are providing potential opportunities for investors to participate in this long-term trend.”
