VanEck Steel ETF SLX Strategy

The investment seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MarketVector™ Global Steel Index. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the fund’s benchmark index. The steel index is a modified market-capitalization weighted, float-adjusted index comprised of publicly traded companies primarily involved in mining and processing of iron ore, the production, processing, fabrication and recycling of steel products, the operation of steel production facilities and related services, and/or recycling of steel products. The fund is non-diversified.
