Appreciate the compliment!
VanEck remains family-owned, managing $120B+ across 80+ ETFs and mutual funds.
Founded XX years ago by Jan’s father, who studied Austrian econ at night and, in a legendary late '60s call, bet the firm the gold peg would break.
That hard-money DNA still drives us today to design strategies that aim to beat inflation. And we eat our own cooking: PMs are encouraged to invest heavily in their funds, and Jan leads by example.
As for $DEFT? We like what they're building! Just come back in XX years. 😉
