VanEck Completes TruSector ETF Suite with Four New Sector Funds
Event summary
- VanEck launched four new actively managed ETFs: Energy (TRUN), Utilities (TRUU), Real Estate (TRUR), and Materials (TRUM).
- The additions complete the TruSector suite, now covering all 11 GICS sectors.
- TruSector ETFs use a hybrid approach of individual equities and targeted ETFs to avoid diversification caps on key stocks.
- VanEck managed $238.8 billion in assets as of May 31, 2026.
The big picture
VanEck’s completion of its TruSector suite addresses a long-standing limitation in traditional sector ETFs: diversification rules that dilute exposure to dominant companies. By offering uncapped, actively managed sector funds, VanEck is positioning itself as a disruptor in the $5 trillion U.S. sector ETF market. The move aligns with broader industry trends toward customization and precision in portfolio construction.
