Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
VanEck J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF (the Fund) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Core Index (the Emerging Markets Global Core Index or the Index).
The fund uses a sampling methodology to track the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Core Index, which comprises bonds issued by emerging market governments and denominated in local currency. Rather than holding all index constituents, the fund purchases a subset of bonds selected to match the index's overall risk and return characteristics. Because the fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer. The sampling approach means the fund's holdings and performance may diverge from the index.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
May 2026 and Jun 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 2026-06-30
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 | 96.3% |
| Zero-coupon or unclassified | 3.7% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 3.7% |
| 1-3y | 19.4% |
| 3-5y | 20.8% |
| 5-10y | 34.8% |
| 10y+ | 21.2% |
Based on what filers reported; a filer that never reported a flag also reads as none.
Risk profile
Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2
Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying a small fraction as much.
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.
| Interest rates | 94% |
| Credit spreads | 6% |
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.
| Investment grade | +0.24 yr |
| High yield | +0.08 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 | 0.02 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.63 yr | 12% |
| 5 yr | 1.93 yr | 36% |
| 10 yr | 2.20 yr | 41% |
| 30 yr | 0.60 yr | 11% |
| 3 mo | 0.00 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.07 yr | 23% |
| 5 yr | 0.14 yr | 44% |
| 10 yr | 0.10 yr | 31% |
| 30 yr | 0.00 yr | 0% |
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.

Dollar change per 1bp of spread movement, as filed and sign-anchored. A blank cell was not filed; a zero was.
Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 5.38 yr.
This is where the fund's rate exposure sits, not its currency risk — most international bond funds hedge the currency back to dollars, and the size of those hedges is not in the filing. Tenors are also summed across curves, so a 5-year JPY point and a 5-year USD point are added together.
