Why Invest in a Green ETF?

  • Participate in the Green Transition
  • Trend Supported by Governments
  • Financial Performance

It has never been more important than today to take an active role in the ongoing green transition. Via a Green ETF by VanEck, contribute to the transformation of the high-carbon economy to a carbon-neutral one2.

Governments have lately significantly increased their efforts to drive this radical transformation that will address every aspect of the climate crisis, from pollution and loss of biodiversity to waste and toxic emissions. Initiatives on a global scale to align different countries’ interests and efforts have multiplied in the last years, as the recent Paris Climate Agreement and the European Green Deal3 show.

This has been reflected in the financial sector with investors looking to make a concrete impact, besides pursuing mere financial returns. However, ESG investment strategies have also proved to deliver consistent financial performance over time, thus combining environmental factors and investors’ returns. For example, the VanEck Sustainable World Equal Weight ETF, a Green ETF variant, has registered a performance exceeding 100% since 2013, as of 16/5/224.

VanEck’s Green ETF Suite Respects the Principles of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation

Goal of Achieving Transparency

The SFDR was introduced by the European Commission in 2021 and sets out mandatory ESG disclosure obligations for asset managers and other market participants. The goal is to improve the transparency of sustainability risks and the impacts of investment processes and strategies. SFDR articles 8 and 9 signal the highest possible sustainability levels for financial products. The VanEck Green ETF variants endorse these principles.

  • Article 8: Financial products that promote environmental or social characteristics.
  • Article 9: Financial products with sustainable investment objectives.



1 20 years ago UN has launched a set of principles to help contributing to a better world. More than 12.000 companies in more than 160 countries have adhered. These principles concern areas like environment, work, human rights and corruption.

Main Risk Factors of a Green ETF

  • Industry or Sector Concentration Risk
  • Equity Market Risk
  • Foreign Currency Risk
  • Liquidity Risks
  • Limited Diversification Concentration Risk
  • Risk of Investing in Smaller Companies
Icon

The Fund’s assets may be concentrated in one or more particular sectors or industries. The Fund may be subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on the relevant sectors or industries will negatively impact the Fund's performance to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were invested in a wider variety of sectors or industries.

Icon

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.

Icon

Because all or a portion of the Fund are being invested in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies and changes in the value of foreign currencies versus the base currency may result in reduced returns for the Fund, and the value of certain foreign currencies may be subject to a high degree of fluctuation.

Icon

Exists when a particular financial instrument is difficult to purchase or sell. If the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous or reasonable price, or at all.

Icon

The Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers or may invest a larger proportion of its assets in a single issuer. As a result, the gains and losses on a single investment may have a greater impact on the Fund's Net Asset Value and may make the Fund more volatile than more diversified funds.

Icon

The securities of smaller companies may be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of large companies. Smaller companies, when compared with larger companies, may have a shorter history of operations, fewer financial resources, less competitive strength, may have a less diversified product line, may be more susceptible to market pressure and may have a smaller market for their securities.

For more information on risks, please see the “Risk Factors” section of the relevant Fund’s prospectus, available on www.vaneck.com.
