VettaFi recently announced the acquisition of the Global Listed Infrastructure Organisation (GLIO) family of indices from FT Wilshire.
"This acquisition marks a significant expansion of VettaFi's index capabilities and underscores its commitment to providing institutional-grade benchmarks for the global investment community," said Brian Coco, Chief Product Officer.
The GLIO indices, which bring rigorous methodology and focus on listed infrastructure and real assets, will be rebranded. Accordingly, they will be integrated into VettaFi's existing suite as:
Fraser Hughes, the Founder and Chief Executive of the GLIO, noted, "Our transition from FT Wilshire to VettaFi marks a key milestone in GLIO's evolution. By combining our listed infrastructure expertise with VettaFi's global platform, technology, and distribution, we are enhancing the visibility and accessibility of GLIO indices while strengthening the foundation for innovation, broader market access, and continued growth in listed infrastructure and real assets investment."
The Global Listed Infrastructure Organisation (GLIO) is the representative body for the $3.5 trillion market capitalization listed infrastructure asset class. GLIO raises investor awareness for the asset class through research, education, events, and promotion.
"Investors continue to search for uncorrelated investment opportunities and, in many cases, alternatives to the typical universe of alternative investments," added Coco. "Listed Infrastructure and Real Assets fits squarely in these discussions and we're very pleased to be adding these benchmarks to our offerings."
With the addition of the GLIO indices, VettaFi boasts a global indexing platform spanning more than 1250 indexes with $86 billion in assets passively tracking those indexes and $80 billion in benchmarked assets. Its team of industry veterans use the latest cloud-based technology for all index research, design, calculation, dissemination and management for over 250 customers.
