VanEck High Yield Muni ETF
U.S. bond index ETF · tracks ICE Broad High Yield Crossover Municipal Index
As of its 2026 Q2 report, VanEck High Yield Muni ETF held 1,912 positions with $4.16B in net assets. Its ten largest holdings made up 6.6% of the fund. The HYD share class costs 0.32% a year. Over the 12 months to May 2026, HYD returned 7.0%, with dividends reinvested. In 2026 Q3 it added 233 new positions and exited 41.
VanEck High Yield Muni ETF (the Fund) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the ICE Broad High Yield Crossover Municipal Index (the High Yield Index).
The fund uses a passive indexing approach to track the ICE Broad High Yield Crossover Municipal Index, which comprises U.S. dollar-denominated high-yield municipal bonds weighted 70% in non-investment grade, 25% in triple-B rated, and 5% in single-A rated securities. Because the fund does not purchase all index constituents but instead uses sampling methodology to approximate the index's risk and return characteristics, its performance may diverge from the index. The fund maintains at least 80% of assets in municipal securities and may concentrate holdings in particular industries to the extent the index does.

How it has done
HYD share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 4.21%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-04-30
Share of the fund's debt by how its coupon behaves — the fact that decides whether a rate move reaches this portfolio at all.
| Fixed rate | 89.0% |
| Floating rate | 7.1% |
| Zero-coupon or unclassified | 3.9% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 0.6% |
| 1-3y | 1.6% |
| 3-5y | 4.3% |
| 5-10y | 13.4% |
| 10y+ | 80.2% |
These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.
Risk profile
Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2
More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.
Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.
| Credit spreads | 52% |
| Interest rates | 48% |
Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.
Share of the fund's spread duration carried by each credit tier.
| High yield | +3.34 yr |
| Investment grade | +3.06 yr |
Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.
| 3 mo | 0.04 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.39 yr | 7% |
| 5 yr | 1.39 yr | 23% |
| 10 yr | 2.74 yr | 46% |
| 30 yr | 1.46 yr | 24% |
| 3 mo | 0.03 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.42 yr | 7% |
| 5 yr | 1.49 yr | 23% |
| 10 yr | 3.01 yr | 47% |
| 30 yr | 1.46 yr | 23% |
The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
