VanEck Small Companies Masters ETF
About this ETF
The fund aims to provide investment returns (before management costs) that closely track the returns of the Market Vectors Australia Small-Cap Dividend Payers Index. The fund employs a passive management strategy of physically replicating the index by investing directly in the underlying securities comprising the index in proportion to their relative weightings in the index.
