GLCN (formerly PEK)
VanEck Vectors China Growth Leaders ETF

  • China presents investors with unique growth opportunities as its economy evolves into an economic powerhouse, but broad benchmarks for China are filled with potentially undesirable and troublesome companies.
  • Fundamentally-driven stock selection may help investors get exposure to the best stocks in China, while excluding the rest.
  • MarketGrader’s company scoring methodology is based on an evaluation of metrics that measure growth, value and quality, which helps identify leading companies with the best growth potential.

*Returns less than one year are not annualized.

**Index data prior to May 1, 2020 reflects that of the CSI 300 (CSIH0749). From May 1, 2020 forward, the index data reflects that of the Fund's underlying index, the MarketGrader China All Cap Growth Leaders Index (MGCNGRNR). Index history which includes periods prior to May 1, 2020 links the performance of CSIH0749 and MGCNGRNR and is not intended for third party use.

The table presents past performance which is no guarantee of future results and which may be lower or higher than current performance. As of October 31, 2018, index data for the CSI 300 Index (the “Index”) for all periods presented reflect the CSIH0749 stream of the Index which is denominated in USD and converted by the index provider using the “offshore” Renminbi (CNH) exchange rate. Returns reflect temporary contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the ETF incurred all expenses and fees, investment returns would have been reduced. Investment returns and ETF share values will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETF returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. 

The "Net Asset Value" (NAV) of a VanEck Vectors Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF 's intraday trading value. VanEck Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.
