What this fund is
Objective, as filed

VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF (the Fund) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS Global Uranium & Nuclear Energy Index (the Nuclear Energy Index or the Index).

Strategy, summarised

The fund uses a passive indexing approach to replicate the MVIS Global Uranium & Nuclear Energy Index, holding securities of companies that derive at least 50% of revenues from uranium mining, nuclear power construction and maintenance, nuclear electricity generation, or nuclear industry equipment and services, or have at least 50% of mineral resources in uranium. The fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer. Because the fund tracks an index that concentrates in the energy, industrials, and utilities sectors, the fund's returns will reflect that sector concentration.
