FYI: A top 10 ETF issuer by assets under management (AUM), VanEck is probably best known as the go-to issuer for specific asset classes, especially when it comes to commodities and emerging markets.
Its biggest fund by AUM is the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX), a $9.2 billion ETF that continues to hold hefty assets even as gold and commodities themselves have had lackluster performances in the past several years. VanEck’s experience and history in those niche markets help guide the firm as it develops new products and sets itself apart in a crowded field. The firm has a total AUM of $35 billion.
