VanEck x Islanders

For 70 years, VanEck has helped investors stay ahead in a world that never stands still.

Success in hockey comes from anticipating the next play, not just chasing the puck. This idea is core to our investment philosophy. At VanEck, we spot change early, act with conviction and turn trends into opportunities for the investors we serve.

VanEck: Official ETF Partner of the New York Islanders

For VanEck, becoming the official ETF partner of the New York Islanders was a natural fit—and not just because CEO Jan van Eck has been a lifelong fan. Both organizations have a history of bold beginnings and a commitment to building something lasting.

Who We Are

Like the Islanders seizing their moment in 1972 to bring NHL hockey to Long Island as the league was expanding, VanEck was founded in 1955 to bring access to international markets to U.S. investors as the global economy was being redefined after WWII.

Just as the Islanders quickly claimed dynasty status with four consecutive Stanley Cup wins from 1980-1983, we made our mark early with the launch of the first U.S. gold fund in 1968, just before the collapse of the gold standard sent the price of gold surging. We carry that same forward-looking mindset today.
