Overview

The VanEck Agribusiness ETF, trading under the ticker MOO, operates within the Materials category and is managed by issuer VanEck. With assets under management totaling $944 million and a current share price of $83.88, the fund represents a mid-sized option among the 15 ETFs tracked in its specific category. It holds an overall rank of #402 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories, receiving an ETFValuer grade of D with a score of 44.4 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.56% while offering a dividend yield of 1.35% to income-seeking investors. The combination of a lower-than-median rank and a D grade suggests that current investor adoption has not resulted in top-tier performance or efficiency metrics relative to the broader universe. Despite the modest AUM, the fund maintains a distinct presence in the agribusiness sector with a defined cost structure and income profile.

Short-term momentum for the VanEck Agribusiness ETF has been positive, with a one-day return of +1.06% and a one-week gain of +2.11%. This upward trajectory accelerated over the past month, delivering a 1-month return of +5.88%, which contrasts with a more modest 3-month return of +2.12%. The fund has shown stronger performance over longer horizons, posting a 6-month return of +4.82% and a year-to-date gain of +13.84%. Over the past year, the ETF generated a total return of +14.95%, while the 3-year annualized return stands at +6.35%. The data indicates a pattern where recent monthly gains have outpaced the three-month average, suggesting an acceleration in performance during the most recent period. However, the divergence between the 1-month and 3-month figures highlights a fluctuating trend rather than a consistent linear growth path.

The VanEck Agribusiness ETF carries a low volatility label and a beta of 0.60, indicating that the fund historically moves less than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 0.70 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of excess return per unit of risk taken over the measured period. Despite the lower beta, the fund experienced a maximum drawdown of -26.64%, reflecting significant downside risk during market stress periods. This combination of low volatility and a substantial maximum drawdown implies that while the fund may not swing wildly in normal conditions, it is capable of deep declines when adverse events occur. The risk profile presents a scenario where the fund offers reduced sensitivity to market movements but still exposes investors to considerable capital erosion during downturns.

MOO Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — and average daily volume is 273K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $944M provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: MOO is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
