VanEck Morningstar Global Wide Moat UCITS ETF

The VanEck Morningstar Global Wide Moat UCITS ETF is an equity exchange-traded fund that aims to replicate the performance of the Morningstar Global Wide Moat Focus Index. This index is designed to track global companies identified as having a 'wide economic moat,' meaning they possess durable, sustainable competitive advantages according to Morningstar’s equity research. The ETF provides investors with broad international exposure, selecting companies that are not only competitively resilient but also attractively valued at the time of inclusion. It is structured as a physically replicated, passively managed fund, accumulating rather than distributing income, which allows for efficient reinvestment within the portfolio. As a strategy, it focuses on long-only positions and covers diverse sectors including technology, healthcare, industrials, and consumer goods. The fund is UCITS-compliant, ensuring robust regulatory standards and investor protections. By concentrating on high-quality, competitively entrenched firms worldwide, the ETF plays a significant role for those seeking diversified exposure to global equities with an emphasis on quality and long-term competitive strength.
