Harrison Street Asset Management has launched its first ETF, which is primarily dubbed as an active fund with a focus on infrastructure exposure. 

The Harrison Street Infrastructure Active ETF, which is publicly traded as NFRX, provides exposure to international listed infrastructure companies to investors with the midstream energy, utilities, digital, and transportation sectors, the firm said. 

The ETF will be managed by Harrison Street Asset Management’s private wealth division, alongside its portfolio managers, which include chief investment strategist Robert Becker, managing director Hasan Goncu, and CIO Casey Frazier. 

Recently, Harrison Street Asset Management consolidated its affiliated North American investment management businesses, Harrison Street Real Estate Capital, Rockwood Capital, and Harrison Street Private Wealth (formerly Versus Capital), creating a global platform designed to deliver greater scale, innovation, and performance across real assets.  

The integration brings together the firms under the Harrison Street Asset Management brand. Meanwhile, the firm’s European affiliates, Basalt Infrastructure Partners and RoundShieldCapital, will continue to operate under their existing names, maintaining their specialized investment focus across infrastructure and credit strategies. 

This comes as other asset managers have launched more ETFs in the space. Last week, investment giant VanEck launched its first U.S.-listed spot ETF, dubbed the VanEck Avalanche ETF. 

The ETF, which trades under the ticker VAVX, comes as VanEck seeks to offer more U.S.-based investors exposure to the Avalanche token, as well as expand on its ETF lineup. In addition to VanEck’s spot ETF, the investment giant already offers Ethereum and spot Bitcoin products.
