VanEck - Small Companies Masters ETF (MVS.AX)
About this ETF
The MVS Exchange Traded Fund provides diversified exposure to a curated selection of Australian small-capitalization companies listed on the ASX. Its core objective is to replicate the performance of its benchmark index, prior to the deduction of fees and operational costs. While investments in smaller enterprises naturally entail greater risk, they also offer considerable potential for future expansion and embody emerging opportunities. The fund employs a strategic approach, targeting companies that demonstrate 'growth at a reasonable price' (GARP) characteristics. This expansive portfolio is broadly distributed across numerous dynamic sectors, including healthcare, industrials, resources, technology, and energy, all accessible through a single, convenient trade on the ASX.
