VanEck Hydrogen Economy UCITS ETF A

The Product's investment objective is to replicate, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS Global Hydrogen Economy ESG Index (the "Index"). In order to seek to achieve its investment objective, the Manufacturer will normally use a replication strategy by investing directly in the underlying equity securities of the Index being the stock, American depository receipts (ADRs), and global depository receipts (GDRs). Such equity securities must be issued by companies who generate at least 50% of their revenues from the global hydrogen segment, fuel cell companies or industrial gases companies listed or traded on the Markets referred to in Appendix II of the Prospectus. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Index already holds such equity securities, the Index will seek to remove the security when the percentage of revenue generated from the global hydrogen segment, fuel cell companies or industrial gases drops below 25% of the relevant companies revenues. The Manufacturer has categorised the Product as meeting the provisions set out in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability related disclosures in the financial services sector ("SFDR") for products, which have sustainable investment as their objective and where an index has been designated as a reference benchmark. The Index considers ESG factors as further detailed in the Index methodology available on the Index Provider's website and in the Prospectus. Where it is not practical or cost efficient for the Product to fully replicate the Index, the Manufacturer may utilise an optimised sampling methodology. The Product invests in the underlying (physical) securities that make up the Index and does not take part in securities lending. Where it is not practical or cost efficient for the Product to fully replicate the Index, the Product will not avail of the increased limits as set out in Regulation 71 of the CBI UCITS Regulations. The Product may invest up to 15% of its N
