Fund Summary and Key Points

The VanEck International Investors Gold Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in common stocks of gold-mining companies. Income is a secondary consideration.

  • An actively managed portfolio, with a 50 year track record, that invests in gold-mining equities
  • Offers exposure to gold — a distinct asset class typically fueled by robust investment and jewelry demand, as well as ongoing supply constraints
  • May provide a hedge against financial assets in volatile markets or inflationary periods
  • Managed by a specialized investment team that conducts continuous on- and under-the-ground research to access mining efficiencies and opportunities

*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 fees1, investment returns would have been reduced. Expenses: Class I: Gross 1.09% and Net 1.00%. Expenses are capped contractually through 05/01/24 at 1.00% for Class I. 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.
