The Virtus Real Asset Income ETF (VRAI) is designed to offer investors passive entry into U.S.-based companies within the real asset sector. It achieves this by mirroring the performance of the Indxx Real Asset Income Index, which is composed of equities from real estate, natural resources, and infrastructure firms known for their consistent income generation and dividend growth. Distinguishing itself from other real asset investment approaches, VRAI does not directly acquire physical assets or commodity instruments. Instead, its strategy focuses exclusively on the stock of companies operating in these real asset categories, with a primary objective of income generation. This investment methodology provides investors with the potential for capital appreciation, coupled with a possible hedge against rising inflation.
