The fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks and depositary receipts of companies involved in the steel sector. Such companies may include small- and medium-capitalization companies and foreign and emerging market issuers. It may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Steel Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. The fund is non-diversified.
The VanEck Steel ETF (SLX) is designed to replicate, as precisely as possible and prior to any operational costs, both the capital appreciation and income generation of the MarketVector Global Steel Index (MVSLXTR). This benchmark index is specifically constructed to capture the overall financial performance of companies engaged in the worldwide steel industry.
