In addition, it has a network of offices worldwide, including offices in Shanghai (China), Frankfurt (Germany), Madrid (Spain), Pfaeffikon (Switzerland), and Sydney (Australia).

The firm was among the first U.S. money managers to help investors achieve greater diversification through global investing. VanEck International Investors Gold Fund (INIVX) was launched in 1968 and was the first U.S. gold fund. Today the firm continues its pioneering tradition by offering innovative, actively managed investment choices in hard assets, emerging markets, precious metals (including gold), fixed income, and other specialized, domestic and international asset classes.

VanEck Vectors Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) have been offered by VanEck since 2006, when the firm launched the nation's first gold-mining ETF, VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX). Today VanEck Vectors offers more than 55 ETFs, which span several asset classes, including equity, fixed income, and currency markets. Many of these ETFs are based on pure-play indices whose constituents must derive a majority of revenues from the target region/sector. VanEck Vectors is approximately the 9th largest ETF company as of the end of 2016.

VanEck currently manages assets on behalf of more than 400 institutions, including endowments, foundations, hospitals, pensions, and private banks.
