VanEck Capital
Seeking Returns Beyond Traditional Markets
As a growing share of value creation moves outside public markets, traditional portfolios may not capture the full spectrum of long-term growth.
Extending a Legacy
For 70 years, VanEck’s philosophy has been rooted in a simple idea: the world is constantly evolving, creating new opportunities and risks.
This forward-thinking mindset has defined VanEck for decades: pioneering international investments after WWII, launching the first U.S. gold fund in the 1960s, embracing ETFs in the 2000s, and investing early in digital assets.
Since 1996, we’ve offered private strategies across hedge funds, venture capital, and other alternatives. In the 2000s, we capitalized the re-rating of emerging market debt and China’s commodities super-cycle, strategies that grew to more than $4 billion at their peak.
VanEck Capital was created in response to industry shifts to provide access to private markets and transformative global themes.
