Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (the Fund) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index (the Junior Gold Miners Index or the Index).
The fund uses a passive indexing strategy to replicate the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index, holding securities of junior gold mining companies—those ranking in the bottom 60% to 98% of market capitalization among eligible producers—that derive at least 50% of revenues from gold and silver mining, royalties, or streaming. As a non-diversified fund, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund. Because the fund attempts to approximate the Index's performance rather than beat it, tracking error and divergence from Index returns may result from fees, expenses, and the mechanics of portfolio replication.

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.
