Not vested.
The iShares S&P Global Infrastructure Index Fund (NYSE: IGF), seeks to replicate the price and yield performance of the S&P Global Infrastructure Index.
As of the beginning of October, the fund held 86 companies, with 19% of its investments in energy, 39% in utilities and 38% in industrials.
IGF has only been in existence since December 2007, but it represents a global, all-inclusive approach to infrastructure investing. Despite our domestic woes, many other areas of the world are spending big on infrastructure.
About 75% of the fund's investments are in companies outside the United States. You can learn more about IGF here.

2) Transcanada, one of North America's largest natural gas storage and transmission companies, with over 36,500 miles of pipelines.
3) Abertis, a Spanish company that operates toll roads, telecommunications systems, airports and parking garages around the world.
