DAPP offers diversified exposure to companies
across the digital transformation, including digital assets
exchanges, miners, payment gateways, hardware, and technology
providers.
VanEck today announced the launch of the VanEck Vectors® Digital
Transformation ETF (NASDAQ: DAPP), a new equity fund designed to
provide investors with pure-play exposure to the innovative
companies that are powering the digital transformation of the
world’s economy.
“The digitalization of the global economy has been picking up
steam for the past several years, and as digital assets1 mature,
this has driven the growth of several innovative companies—not only
miners of digital assets, but also digital asset exchanges,
payments, services, storage, e-commerce and much more,” said Ed
Lopez, Managing Director, Head of ETF Product for VanEck. “To this
point, however, investors have had to choose among funds that too
often included companies only tangentially involved with digital
assets. That is something we’ve sought to solve with the launch of
DAPP, a fund we’re very excited to be bringing to market.”
DAPP seeks to track, as closely as possible, the price and yield
performance of the MVIS Global Digital Assets Equity Index (“The
Index”), a rules-based modified capitalization weighted, float
adjusted index intended to give investors a means of tracking the
overall performance of companies involved in digital assets. As the
Index is designed to be a pure-play overview of the relevant
players in the space, to be eligible for inclusion, a company must
(i) generate at least 50% of its revenues from digital assets
projects; (ii) generate at least 50% of its revenues from projects
that, when developed, have the potential to generate at least 50%
of their revenues from digital assets or digital asset projects;
and/or (iii) have at least 50% of its assets invested in direct
digital asset holdings or digital asset projects. The Index
provides significant exposure to key companies in mining, hardware,
exchanges, holding and trading, payment gateways, patents and
services, and banking. The Fund will not invest in digital
assets (including cryptocurrencies) (i) directly or (ii) indirectly
through the use of digital asset derivatives. The Index
rebalances quarterly.
“Digital transformation companies cover a broad swath of the
investment landscape related to digital assets, well beyond what’s
taking place with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. It’s also
important to note that digital transformation represents a
long-term structural growth story, supported by significant ongoing
investment and adoption on a global scale by both retail and
institutional investment participants,” continued Lopez. “We as a
firm have long believed in the utility and viability of digital
assets as an asset class, and we are thrilled to be providing
investors with exposure to companies powering the digital
transformation.”
“Nasdaq’s ETF listings business centers on working with
forward-thinking partners like VanEck, who provide access to
growing and innovative asset classes,” added Giang Bui, Head of
U.S. Exchange Traded Products at Nasdaq. “Today’s launch of the
VanEck Vectors Digital Transformation ETF demonstrates Nasdaq’s
value as a resource for growing digital asset strategies in the
evolving ETF market.”
DAPP, which has an expense ratio of 65 basis points, joins a
VanEck thematic equity ETF lineup that also includes the VanEck
Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF (NASDAQ: ESPO), which is the
largest ETF by assets under management that provides targeted
exposure to the fast-growing global video gaming and esports
industries2; VanEck Vectors Gaming ETF (BJK®), which is the first
ETF in the U.S. to focus on global gaming; and VanEck Vectors
Semiconductor ETF (SMH®), which is designed to track the largest
and most liquid semiconductor production and equipment companies,
based on market capitalization and trading volume.
About VanEck
VanEck has a history of looking beyond the financial markets to
identify trends that are likely to create impactful investment
opportunities. We were one of the first U.S. asset managers to
offer investors access to international markets. This set the tone
for the firm’s drive to identify asset classes and trends –
including gold investing in 1968, emerging markets in 1993, and
exchange traded funds in 2006 – that subsequently shaped the
investment management industry.
Today, VanEck offers active and passive strategies with
compelling exposures supported by well-designed investment
processes. As of March 31, 2021, VanEck managed approximately $71.2
billion in assets, including mutual funds, ETFs and institutional
accounts. The firm’s capabilities range from core investment
opportunities to more specialized exposures to enhance portfolio
diversification. Our actively managed strategies are fueled by
in-depth, bottom-up research and security selection from portfolio
managers with direct experience in the sectors and regions in which
they invest. Investability, liquidity, diversity, and transparency
are key to the experienced decision-making around market and index
selection underlying VanEck’s passive strategies.
Since our founding in 1955, putting our clients’ interests
first, in all market environments, has been at the heart of the
firm’s mission.
