VanEck Brazil Small-Cap ETF (BRF)
About this ETF
The VanEck Brazil Small-Cap ETF (BRF) strives to precisely track the investment performance—encompassing both price changes and income—of the MVIS Brazil Small-Cap Index (MVBRFTR). This tracking goal is measured prior to accounting for the ETF's own management fees and operational costs. The underlying index is made up of shares from smaller companies that are either legally established in Brazil or, if incorporated elsewhere, generate a significant portion (at least 50%) of their revenues or own at least 50% of their assets within Brazil.
