VanEck Updates Index Reconstitution Schedules for Three ETFs

VanEck has announced changes to the index reconstitution schedules of three ETFs following methodology updates by index provider MarketVector Indexes. The affected funds are the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), VanEck Mortgage REIT Income ETF (MORT), and VanEck Video Gaming and eSports ETF (ESPO). Beginning with the scheduled December 2026 index review, their underlying benchmarks will transition to semi-annual reconstitution in March and September, while maintaining quarterly rebalancing. The changes affect the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index, MVIS US Mortgage REITs Index, and MVIS Global Video Gaming & eSports Index. The revised schedules will determine how frequently index constituents are reassessed and updated, potentially affecting portfolio turnover and holdings adjustments. MarketVector retains discretion to modify scheduled reviews.
