Description: SMOT VanEck Trust - VanEck October 26, 2025
The VanEck Morningstar SMID Moat ETF (BATS: SMOT) seeks to track a benchmark that holds at least 80% of the fund’s assets in small- and medium-cap U.S. equities identified by Morningstar as having durable competitive advantages (“moats”). The index construction blends quantitative metrics (e.g., return on invested capital, earnings stability) with qualitative assessments (e.g., brand strength, network effects), and the ETF is classified as a non-diversified, mid-cap blend vehicle.
Key fund characteristics (as of the latest filing) include an expense ratio of 0.45%, total assets under management of roughly $250 million, and an average underlying market capitalization of about $4 billion, placing it squarely in the lower-mid-cap range where growth potential and valuation discipline intersect.
Current macro drivers that materially affect SMOT’s performance are U.S. GDP growth expectations (which tend to boost small-cap earnings), the Federal Reserve’s policy stance on interest rates (higher rates can compress valuation multiples for growth-oriented small caps), and sector exposure to technology and consumer discretionary-areas where moat-type firms often exhibit higher pricing power.
For investors who want a data-driven, moat-focused lens on the SMID segment, a deeper dive into ValueRay’s proprietary moat-score analytics can help surface the most resilient holdings within SMOT’s universe.
