Why Multi-Asset?
Smoothing Returns
Learning from the Professionals

Multi-asset investing can be compared with communicating vessels. If one asset class goes down, another might go up and hence compensate.

The reason to consider Multi-Asset ETF

Asset classes balancing each other

Euro Government Bonds
Corporate Bonds
Global Equities
Real Estate Stocks

Bonds issued in Euro by Eurozone member states such as Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands.

Bonds issued by large corporations with an investment-grade rating such as Anheuscher Busch, Daimler, JPMorgan and Siemens. All bonds are issued in euro in order to avoid currency risk.

Stocks from the world's 250 largest listed firms covered in the Multi-Asset ETF Suite.

Global stocks of firms from which invest in real estate, such as offices, warehouses and apartments.

You Choose How Defensive to Be

A Multi-Asset ETF lets you choose how much risk you want to take. They have three levels of risk and return: conservative, balanced and growth. The higher the risk, the higher the expected return and vice versa. The graph below shows you how each of the three options has performed over the last 13 years.

Different investor types and investors from other jurisdictions may not be able to achieve the same level of performance due to their tax status and local tax rules.

Main Risk Factors of a Multi-Asset ETF

While the diversification in a multi-asset strategy reduces risk, it is important to remember that all investments carry some risk. The Multi-Asset Funds by VanEck are subject to the four risks below:

Credit Risk
Equity Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk

The issuer or guarantor of a debt security may be unable and/or unwilling to make timely interest payments and/or repay the principal on its debt or to otherwise honour its obligations. Bonds are subject to varying degrees of credit risk which may be reflected in credit ratings. There is a possibility that the credit rating of a bond may be downgraded after purchase, which may adversely affect the value of the security.

The prices of the securities in the Fund are subject to the risks associated with investing in the securities market, including general economic conditions and sudden and unpredictable drops in value. An investment in the Fund may lose money.

Bond prices could rise or fall as the result of changes in the interest rates and the interest rate curve. Potential or actual downgrades in the credit rating can increase the assumed risk level.
