About VanEck


VanEck has a history of looking beyond the financial markets to
identify trends that are likely to create impactful investment
opportunities. They were one of the first U.S. asset managers to
offer investors access to international markets. This set the
tone for the firm’s drive to identify asset classes and trends –
including gold investing in 1968, emerging markets in 1993,
exchange traded funds in 2006 and digital assets in 2017 – that
subsequently shaped the investment management industry. Today,
VanEck offers active and passive strategies with compelling
exposures supported by well-designed investment processes. As of
June 30, 2022, VanEck managed approximately $68 billion in
assets, including mutual funds, ETFs and institutional accounts.
The firm’s capabilities range from core investment opportunities
to more specialized exposures to enhance portfolio
diversification. Their actively managed strategies are fueled by
in-depth, bottom-up research and security selection from
portfolio managers with direct experience in the sectors and
regions in which they invest. Investability, liquidity,
diversity, and transparency are key to the experienced
decision-making around market and index selection underlying
VanEck’s passive strategies. Since their founding in 1955, VanEck
puts their clients’ interests first, in all market environments,
has been at the heart of the firm’s mission.
