Overview

Why the Emerging Markets Fund

  • Broad, Differentiated Exposure Focuses on companies across regions, sectors, and market capitalization positioned to capture trends in consumption and innovation and not often well captured in widely used indices
  • Research-Driven Stock Selection Active, bottom-up, fundamental research process targets companies with structural growth at a reasonable price (“SGARP”) profiles
  • Local Expertise Benefits from the experience, philosophy and process of a seasoned emerging markets investment team who lived or worked in the areas they cover

The VanEck Emerging Markets Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity securities in emerging markets around the world. The Fund invests in high-quality, structural growth companies at a reasonable price poised to represent future development and growth of emerging markets.

*Returns less than one year are not annualized.

The table presents past performance which is no guarantee of future results and which may be lower or higher than current performance. Returns reflect temporary contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the Fund incurred all expenses and fees, investment returns would have been reduced. Expenses: Class Z: Gross 1.20% and Net 0.91%. Expenses are capped contractually through 05/01/27 at 0.90% for Class Z. Investment returns and Fund share values will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV.
