Financial services company VanEck is one of the ten biggest providers of exchange traded funds (ETFs) in the United States, and is also striving for this position in Europe. Switzerland, with its growing market for ETFs, is a high priority for the company. VanEck currently offers a total of 19 exchange traded funds on the SIX Swiss Exchange.

“We offer intelligent beta ETFs and products with a slightly different investment approach designed to increase the return or reduce the risk. We’re delighted to be able to communicate our philosophy with open up,” says Philipp Schlegel, Managing Director of VanEck Switzerland AG.

Since its establishment in 1955, financial services company VanEck has been synonymous with innovative, intelligent and forward-looking investment strategies.

With more than 90 ETFs globally, the investment company offers a comprehensive portfolio covering numerous sectors, assets classes, and smart beta strategies.

As of 31 December 2019, VanEck had around USD 51 billion under management, including ETFs, actively managed funds and institutional accounts.
