The VanEck Vectors™ Global Equal Weight UCITS ETF is an exchange traded Fund (ETF) which seeks to follow the Solactive Global Equity Index (gross total return index) as closely as possible. The reference index measures the performance of shares from developed countries worldwide. The index consists of markets such as Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United States, South Korea, Sweden and Switzerland. The ETF is passively managed and invests in the underlying (physical) securities that make up the index and does not lend the underlying securities out to third parties. The Solactive Global Equity Index consists of 250 shares from companies worldwide which satisfy criteria relating to size, liquidity and free-float. Regional caps are set at 40%. The index is an equally weighted index whereby every share is assigned equal weight of 0.4% during the annual reweighting. Income from the Fund’s investments is paid out as dividend. There is the possibility of dividend 4 times per year, but the height of the dividend to be paid out must also be considered. It may be the case that the income from the dividend is relatively low in a particular quarter, which means that from a cost perspective, it makes more sense to keep the income in the Fund until the next payment opportunity. Recommendation: This Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 5 years. Fund’s base currency: Euro Distribution policy: Income distributed
