VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF

VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides focused exposure to smaller and mid-sized companies engaged primarily in gold and silver mining worldwide. The fund seeks to replicate the performance of the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index by investing at least 80% of its assets in index constituents. These underlying companies typically generate at least half of their revenues from gold or silver mining, royalty, or streaming activities, or have projects expected to meet that threshold when developed. VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF follows a passive, index-tracking approach and is classified in the equity precious metals segment, concentrating its holdings in the basic materials and metals and mining industries. The portfolio is globally diversified across developed and emerging markets, with individual positions capped to avoid excessive single-stock concentration while maintaining a pure-play focus on junior miners. Managed today by VanEck and launched in 2009 in the United States, the ETF serves as a widely used thematic vehicle for accessing the junior gold and silver mining segment of the global equity market.
