VanEck Junior Gold Miners UCITS ETF

Fund Description

VanEck Junior Gold Miners UCITS ETF invests in the stocks of small gold miners, some of which are in the early stages of exploration. Junior gold miners bring on new supply and are prime beneficiaries of rising gold demand. Typically they have greater sensitivity to underlying gold price movements than more established, senior gold mining companies.

  • Potential for additional upside as premium takeover targets for larger producers
  • Ideal complement to more traditional gold or gold equity allocations
  • Only ETF in Europe providing exposure to junior gold miners


Risk factors: Risk of Investing in Natural Resources Companies, Industry or Sector Concentration Risk, Risk of investing in Smaller Companies

1The "Net Asset Value" (NAV) of all ETFs is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF 's intraday trading value. Investors should not expect to buy or sell ETF shares at NAV.
