Our read on EMET

ETF.net Research

CCopper is the spine of electrification, but wiring a grid takes a whole shelf of metals. EMET tracks a global index of the companies that mine, refine and recycle them, about 60 names, for 0.62% a year.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MarketVector Global Electrification Metals Index. That index covers companies involved in producing, refining, processing, and recycling metals critical to global electrification.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The mandate reaches past the mine: the index covers producing, refining, processing and recycling of electrification metals, so midstream and scrap names qualify too.vaneck.com
  2. 020.62% a year sits just under the midpoint of its critical-materials peer group, and the hunting ground is global rather than one country's mining sector.
  3. 03Not a one-metal wager: copper sits alongside the other metals the index treats as critical to electrification, spread across roughly 60 companies.

Worth knowing

  1. 01One of the smaller, more thinly traded funds in this corner of the market, so the real cost of getting in and out can exceed the headline fee.
  2. 02Broader metals exposure comes cheaper: PICK (0.39%) and VanEck's own REMX (0.53%) undercut it, though neither is built around the electrification basket.
  3. 03Miner equities move with metal prices, and with a 2021 launch this one has not yet run through a full commodity cycle.
