Background:
|
VanEck (fka Van Eck Global) has been on the frontiers of the mutual fund industry since its founding. VanEck traces its origins to 1955, when John C. van Eck founded International Investors Inc., which would later become the Van Eck Associates Corporation. In 1968, VanEck created the first US gold fund, and the firm lays claim to creating the first long "hard assets" fund in 1984. The firm launched its first global bond fund in 1987 and lays claim to launching the first gold ETF in the U.S. in 2006.
Today, VanEck offers exchange-traded funds, separate accounts and alternative investments in addition to mutual funds, and invests in hard assets, emerging markets, precious metals such as gold, and more.
The company remains in the hands of the van Eck family, with Jan F. van Eck acting as the Principal and Director of the Van Eck Associates Corporation, heading alternative, international and institutional businesses for VanEck, including the ETF (originally branded "Market Vectors", then "VanEck Vectors") business which debuted in 2006, and Derek S. van Eck serving as the lead investment team member of the Global Hard Assets Fund with additional oversight of the fund's investment process, risk controls, and hiring of new investment team members.
