Why Invest in Moat ETF?

The Fund is based on a simple concept: Invest in companies with sustainable competitive advantages trading at attractive valuations.

Morningstar’s forward-looking equity research turns the moat philosophy into an actionable investment strategy. This strategy is accessible through two ETFs from VanEck. 

Risk of Moat ETF: Investors should consider risks before investing. See dedicated risk factors section on this website.

The Philosophy Behind the Strategy

The moat investing philosophy, powered by Morningstar’s equity research, brings together its Economic Moat Rating and its forward-looking Fair Value Estimate. The combination of these two elements drives the choice of the companies included in the VanEck's Moat ETF.
