MOAT Delivers Quiet Alpha In Broad Based Markets
VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF offers a unique blend of wide-moat stock selection and value screening, resulting in a balanced, diversified portfolio with risk discipline. Performance closely tracks the S&P 500, but MOAT shines in broad-based rallies and offers some downside mitigation during market drawdowns. MOAT is best used as a tactical complement to S&P 500 ETFs, especially when expecting broader market participation rather than concentrated large-cap rallies.

I Was Looking For A MOAT, But I Didn't Quite Find It Here
MOAT ETF refers to the concept of Wide Moats, a theme increasingly sought after, especially in the current market phase. It has a higher-than-average expense ratio (similar to any thematic ETF), yet delivers competitive 10-year performance. But it holds a limited number of positions with high turnover, which fuels volatility and reduces its appeal from a risk perspective.
