EGPT Investment Objective and Strategy
VanEck Vectors Egypt Index ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by VanEck ETF Trust.
Investment objective
VanEck Vectors Egypt Index ETF (the Fund) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS Egypt Index (the Egypt Index).
Principal investment strategy
The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Funds benchmark index. The Egypt Index includes securities of Egyptian companies. A company is generally considered to be an Egyptian company if it is incorporated in Egypt or is incorporated outside Egypt but has at least 50% of its revenues/related assets in Egypt. Such companies may include micro-, small- and medium-capitalization companies. As of December 31, 2017, the Egypt Index included 25 securities of companies with a market capitalization range of between approximately $90.0 million and $5.0 billion and a weighted average market capitalization of $1.5 billion. These amounts are subject to change. The Funds 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days prior written notice to shareholders.
The Fund, using a passive or indexing investment approach will attempt to approximate the investment performance of the Egypt Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Egypt Index. Unlike many investment companies that try to beat the performance of a benchmark index, the Fund does not try to beat the Egypt Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. Indexing may eliminate the chance that the Fund will substantially outperform the Egypt Index but also may reduce some of the risks of active management, such as poor security selection. Under various circumstances or under certain market conditions, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the Egypt Index or in the weighting of such securities in the Egypt Index.
In these cases, the Fund may purchase a sample of securities in the Egypt Index or underweight or overweight a security in the Egypt Index. The Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer. The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Egypt Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. As of December 31, 2017, each of the basic materials, consumer staples, financial services, real estate and telecommunications sectors represented a significant portion of the Fund.
