Tortoise announced the launch of two digital infrastructure ETFs, Tortoise Cloud Infrastructure Fund and Tortoise Digital Payments Infrastructure Fund.
Tortoise invests in essential assets across the infrastructure spectrum. These are assets that are indispensable to the economy and society. Digital infrastructure is the backbone of the digital revolution, including everything that transfers, stores and processes digital information. TCLD and TPAY isolate what Tortoise believes are the fastest areas of growth in technology, that are also essential assets.
Digital infrastructure is essential to our everyday lives, said Matt Weglarz, Tortoise portfolio manager of passive investment strategies. As the world economy becomes increasingly reliant on instant, mobile payments and flexible, efficient and lower-cost technology, we believe these two products offer investors access to participate in this potential growth.
