About this ETF
The VanEck Real Assets ETF, identified as RAAX, strives to deliver robust long-term overall returns. Its strategy focuses on maximizing inflation-adjusted gains while simultaneously aiming to cushion against potential losses during periods of significant market decline. The Fund primarily achieves this by investing in exchange-traded products that provide access to a diversified portfolio of tangible assets. This includes resource-focused investments such as commodities and natural resource companies, as well as income-generating real assets like Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), infrastructure developments, and Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). Additionally, the ETF allocates capital to gold, encompassing both the precious metal itself and the equities of gold mining companies.
