Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
VanEck Gold Miners ETF (the Fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index (the Gold Miners Index or the Index).
The fund tracks the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index, a modified capitalization-weighted index of publicly traded gold and silver mining companies, by holding securities that comprise the index. As a non-diversified fund, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund would permit. The fund's returns will diverge from the index to the extent it does not hold all index constituents or weights them differently.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Feb 2026
Mar 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
