Dow Jones Indexes and Brookfield Asset Management have launched a new index, Mondovisione reports. The Dow Jones Brookfield Emerging Markets Infrastructure Index will seek to represent companies in emerging market countries, which are owners and operators of infrastructure assets. ETF Securities has secured the license of the index, which will serve as the basis for two UCITS-compliant ETFs. A company must derive 50% of its estimated cash flows from infrastructure assets, including airports, toll roads and rail, ports, communications, electricity transmission and distribution, oil and gas storage, transportation, and water, to be eligible for inclusion in the index.
