Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF (the Fund) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS Global Rare Earth/Strategic Metals Index (the Rare Earth/Strategic Metals Index or the Index).
The fund tracks the MVIS Global Rare Earth/Strategic Metals Index using a passive indexing approach, holding securities of companies that generate at least 50% of revenues from rare earth and strategic metals production, refining, or recycling. The fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer. Because the fund concentrates its holdings in companies meeting the index's revenue threshold, performance depends on the fortunes of a limited set of issuers in this specialized sector.

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.
