Now if you clicked on this video, obviously you know that it will be focussed on VanEck, who definitely aren’t the largest ETF issuer in Australia but they are probably one of the most unique. And in this video I’m going to cover a few different VanEck ETFs that I think are worth watching out for and potentially investing in depending on your situation and investing strategy. We’ll look at what in my opinion is the best VanEck Australian shares ETF, best global shares ETF, best emerging markets ETF, the best dividend ETF for income investors and what I consider the best overall VanEck ETF on the ASX.

I mentioned that VanEck is one of the most unique ETF issuers in Australia and this is because they specifically focus on providing ETFs to provide investors with opportunities to invest in often underrepresented sectors or asset classes, and they go about this in a way a bit differently to some of the larger ETF providers like Vanguard for example.

A large selection of the ETFs VanEck Australia provides are actually tracking indexes that have been designed with a “Smart Beta” strategy or thematic in nature. Which is a bit different to standard passive indexes that are just tracking the overall market like the ASX200 or S&P500. What this means for you is that these ETFs have the potential to actually outperform the market, or potentially underperform.

Investing has become more sophisticated in recent years. When actively managed funds were first offered to investors, performance was uncertain and the costs were high. Sometimes the returns were good, but often they weren’t. Many people found this a poor bargain and moved to lower cost passive funds which tracked traditional indices.

With these new passive index funds, returns could be thought of as average not high, not low, just the market average. New innovations in index design for passive funds are delivering above market returns over the long term while retaining low costs. This is the new world of ‘Smart Beta’ and Thematic ETFs

ETF providers like VanEck are at the forefront of this new world by offering Smart Beta products that combine active and passive management styles. The result is portfolios based on intelligently designed indices that aim to outperform traditional benchmark indices, all while retaining the benefits of passive ETFs: low costs, transparency, liquidity and ease of trading.
