Overview

The VanEck Agribusiness ETF (ticker: MOO) operates within the Materials category, which ETFValuer currently tracks with 15 distinct funds. Issued by VanEck, the fund manages $944 million in assets and trades at a price of $82.55 per share. It holds an overall rank of #406 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories, resulting in an ETFValuer grade of D with a score of 43.5 out of 100. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.56% and offers a dividend yield of 1.35%. The current asset size and ranking position suggest limited investor adoption relative to the broader universe of tracked funds. These metrics collectively define the fund's standing as a mid-tier option within its specific sector classification.

Recent performance data shows a daily return of -0.75% followed by a weekly gain of +0.50%, indicating short-term volatility. The one-month return accelerated significantly to +7.85%, though the three-month period saw a decline of -0.67%. Year-to-date returns have reached +12.04%, while the six-month return stands at +4.91%. Over the past year, the fund generated a return of +14.07%, and the three-year annualized return is +3.28%. This pattern illustrates a divergence where recent short-term gains have outpaced the longer-term three-year average, despite a dip in the three-month window.

The fund is assigned a Low volatility label and exhibits a beta of 0.60, suggesting it moves less than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 0.63 indicates the return generated per unit of risk taken over the measured period. The maximum drawdown recorded for the fund is -26.83%, representing the largest peak-to-trough decline observed. This combination of a low beta and low volatility label implies reduced sensitivity to market swings, yet the substantial maximum drawdown highlights significant downside potential during adverse conditions. The Sharpe ratio reflects a moderate risk-adjusted return profile given the magnitude of the observed drawdown.

MOO Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 1.99% and average daily volume is 275K/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.
