A new ETF is making a big bet on real estate and other hard assets.
CBRE's Investment Management launched the IQ CBRE Real Assets ETF in May with the idea that it will deliver inflation protection in a rising interest rate environment.
"The ETF market is lacking options in this space," the ETF's portfolio manager, Dan Foley, told CNBC's "ETF Edge" on Thursday.
Plus, he noted that hard assets are crucial in enabling a digital economy in the first place.
Since the IQ CBRE Real Assets ETF launched May 10, it's down almost 6%.
