Investment objective & strategy

As of Jan. 27, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. VanEck Green Infrastructure ETF (the Fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Indxx US Green Infrastructure - MCAP Weighted Index (the Green Infrastructure Index or the Index).

Strategy. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities of Green Infrastructure Companies, as defined below. The Green Infrastructure Index is a U.S. index that tracks the performance of Green Infrastructure Companies. Green Infrastructure Companies are companies that seek to positively impact the environment through the production, transmission, or distribution of green energy and/or through the establishment of sustainable infrastructure to facilitate the use of green energy. To be initially eligible for inclusion in the Green Infrastructure Index, a company must generate at least 50% of its revenues from green infrastructure activities, and must be listed and domiciled in the U.S. Green infrastructure activities are comprised of the following sub-themes: green transportation, green energy, green fuel, … The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities of Green Infrastructure Companies, as defined below. The Green Infrastructure Index is a U.S. index that tracks the performance of Green Infrastructure Companies. Green Infrastructure Companies are companies that seek to positively impact the environment through the production, transmission, or distribution of green energy and/or through the establishment of sustainable infrastructure to facilitate the use of green energy. To be initially eligible for inclusion in the Green Infrastructure Index, a company must generate at least 50% of its revenues from green infrastructure activities, and must be listed and domiciled in the U.S. Green infrastructure activities are comprised of the following sub-themes: green transportation, green energy, green fuel, green infrastructure and equipment, pollution control, waste management and green construction. These sub-themes are subject to change in the discretion of Indxx Inc. (the Index provider or Indxx). The Green Infrastructure Index, which currently targets a selection of 50 Index components, is modified market capitalization weighted and is published by Indxx. The green energy sub-theme includes companies involved in generating power through environmentally friendly sources that can replace or supplement traditional fossil-fuel sources and that may reduce the global carbon footprint, including power derived principally from bio fuels (such as ethanol), wind, solar, hydro and geothermal sources. Green energy is also referred to as renewable or low carbon energy because its sources are naturally replenished and it produces less carbon emissions than fossil-fuel. Investments may be made in companies that produce biogas, biomass or similar energy sources from household or other wastes. The green transportation sub-theme includes companies focusing on the sustainable use of energy resources by creating environmentally friendly travel solutions and modifying the conventional transportation system to an eco-friendly one. Investments may be made in companies that are involved in the manufacture of ecofriendly transport solutions or in the provision of support for the implementation of a green transport system, including hybrid/electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging stations, lithium-ion batteries, and compressed natural gas (CNG)/liquefied natural gas (LNG ) gas stations. The green fuel sub-theme includes companies involved in the production and distribution of clean fuels such as biodiesel fuel, hydrogen fuel, fuel cell, ethanol fuel, LNG, and CNG. Investments may be made in companies utilizing the various technologies that support the production, use and storage of these power sources. The green infrastructure and equipment sub-theme includes companies involved in the transmission, distribution, and provision of infrastructure for the transmission and distribution of electricity generated using clean energy sources, including smart grid operators, manufacturers of smart meters, turbines, solar panels and other equipment required for the successful deployment and maintenance of clean energy. The pollution control sub-theme includes companies seeking to reduce the negative effects of any kind of pollution, such as waste-water treatment, manufacture of pollution control equipment like emission control systems for automobiles, sedimentation tanks for sewer systems, and any other product or service that reduces pollution or the harmful effects of pollution on air, water, or soil. The waste management sub-theme includes companies that are involved in the safe disposal, recycling or treatment of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes such as industrial effluents and radioactive wastes. The green construction sub-theme includes companies that are engaged in the development, management and maintenance of green buildings or engaged in the construction of systems that help to efficiently use energy and other natural resources with the aim of reducing the degradation of the environment. These systems can be dams, green streets and alleys, green roofs, permeable pavements, rainwater harvesting, man-made wetlands and sustainable drainage. Green infrastructure companies may include small- and medium-capitalization companies, including micro-capitalization companies. As of December 31, 2024, the Green Infrastructure Index included 41 securities of companies with a market capitalization range of between approximately $363.61million and $1.33 trillion and a weighted average market capitalization of $15.79 billion. These amounts are subject to change. The Funds 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days prior written notice to shareholders. The Fund, using a passive or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the Green Infrastructure Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Green Infrastructure Index. Unlike many investment companies that try to beat the performance of a benchmark index, the Fund does not try to beat the Green Infrastructure Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its investment objective of seeking to track the Green Infrastructure Index. The Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer. The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Green Infrastructure Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. As of September 30, 2024, the industrials, utilities, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors represented a significant portion of the Fund.
