• VanEck’s expansion in France underlines its growth strategy in European markets
• Investors in France now have access to a wide range of thematic and strategic ETFs

With this enhanced product range, investors in France now have access to a total of 20 VanEck ETFs, providing exposure to a variety of different investment strategies.

“France is often regarded as one of the most dynamic and promising markets for ETFs in Europe,” says Martijn Rozemuller, CEO of VanEck Europe. “The comprehensive listing of 17 more ETFs on Euronext Paris underlines our strategic commitment to expand our presence in the European markets, where we already have more than 14 billion US dollars in assets under management*.”

“ETFs are a simple and relatively inexpensive way to invest for the long term,” adds Philipp Schlegel, Co-Head of Sales in Europe. “Demand for this form of investment is also growing among French investors. With our wide range of products, we want to give them the means to build up a long-term ETF portfolio according to their needs and preferences.”

In addition to the semiconductor, defense and dividend ETFs already listed in France, the additional ETFs now offered in France provides investors with a wide range of thematic and strategic investment opportunities: VanEck’s natural resources ETFs, for example, invest in gold mining companies and global mining companies. ETFs on the oil and the nuclear sectors offer investors exposure to sectors that make an important contribution to energy security. Investors should consider the risks associated with investing in such ETFs, including equity market risk, concentration risk, currency risk, small and mid-cap company risk, sector concentration risk, industrial sector risk and energy sector risk.

Wide range of different investment strategies and topics

Other thematic VanEck ETFs allow investors to invest in companies from pioneering sectors such as space technology, the crypto and blockchain industry or the e-sports and gaming sector.

VanEck also brings its so-called wide-moat ETFs to France, which invest in companies with long-term competitive advantages, as well as several bond ETFs that offer investors access to government or corporate bonds. As always, investors should consider the risks associated with such funds, which include equity market risk, limited diversification risk, liquidity risks, high yield securities risk and industry-specific risks.

“At VanEck, our mission is to democratise investing and give investors access to opportunities. With the broad range of different investment themes, we enable our clients to build their own diversified portfolios and combine different investment strategies,” says Rozemuller.

This event underlines the importance of providing French investors with diversified ETFs to seize market opportunities, as Aurélien Narminio, Head of Indices, ETFs, Securitized Derivatives at Euronext, remarks: “Euronext is delighted to welcome VanEck, a global leader in ETFs, with the listing of 17 more ETFs on Euronext Paris. By expanding its footprint in Europe through an extended partnership with Euronext, VanEck reaffirms the strength of our ETF offering. This milestone reflects our shared commitment to providing French investors with greater access to innovative and diversified investment solutions across Europe.”
