C000025043 Investment Objective and Strategy
VanEck VIP Global Hard Assets Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by VanEck VIP Trust.
Investment objective
The VanEck VIP Global Resources Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in global resource securities. Income is a secondary consideration.
Principal investment strategy
"Under normal conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities of global resource companies and instruments that derive their value from ""global resources"". Global resources include precious metals (including gold), base and industrial metals, energy, natural resources and other commodities. A global resource company is a company that derives, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of its revenues from exploration, development, production, distribution or facilitation of processes relating to global resources. The Fund concentrates its investments in the securities of global resource companies and instruments that derive their value from global resources. The Fund may invest without limitation in any one global resources sector and is not required to invest any portion of its assets in any one global resources sector.
The Fund may invest in securities of companies located anywhere in the world, including the U.S. Under ordinary circumstances, the Fund will invest in securities of issuers from a number of different countries, and may invest any amount of its assets in emerging markets. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any capitalization range. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative measures, the Funds investment management team selects equity securities of companies that it believes represent value opportunities and/or that have growth potential. Candidates for the Funds portfolio are evaluated based on their relative desirability using a wide range of criteria and are regularly reviewed to ensure that they continue to offer absolute and relative desirability. The analysis of financially material risks and opportunities related to ESG (i.e.
Environmental, Social and Governance) factors is a component of the overall investment process. ESG considerations can affect Van Eck Associates Corporations (the Adviser) fundamental assessment of a company or country. The Fund may use derivative instruments, such as structured notes, warrants, currency forwards, futures contracts, options and swap agreements, to gain or hedge exposure to global resources, global resource companies and other assets. The Fund may enter into foreign currency transactions to attempt to moderate the effect of currency fluctuations. The Fund may write covered call options on portfolio securities to the extent that the value of all securities with respect to which covered calls are written does not exceed 10% of the Funds net asset value. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities issued by other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The Fund may also invest in money market funds, but these investments are not subject to this limitation. The Fund may invest in ETFs to participate in, or gain exposure to, certain market sectors, or when direct investments in certain countries are not permitted or available."
