- VanEck Energy Income ETF (EINC) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS North America Energy Infrastructure Index. The index tracks the overall performance of North American companies involved in the midstream energy segment, including master limited partnerships (MLPs) and corporations engaged in oil and gas storage, transportation, and related infrastructure activities; key holdings include Enbridge Inc., The Williams Companies Inc., TC Energy Corp., Kinder Morgan Inc., Cheniere Energy Inc., ONEOK Inc., Targa Resources Corp., DT Midstream Inc., MPLX LP, and Enterprise Products Partners LP, among approximately 30 others, with a focus on equity securities in the energy sector (predominantly U.S. and Canadian issuers). EINC offers investors access to high income potential from energy infrastructure without the fund-level taxation and K-1 tax reporting typical of direct MLP investments; it maintains a total expense ratio of 0.47%, total net assets of approximately $74 million, and a 30-day SEC yield around 4.32% as of late 2025.
Launched on March 12, 2012, and domiciled in the United States with principal operations managed by VanEck, a firm founded in 1955 and headquartered in New York, EINC primarily serves institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to North American midstream energy infrastructure across the United States (about 68% country weighting) and Canada (about 32%). The fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities comprising the benchmark index, emphasizing large-cap companies (over 93% of portfolio) in energy (95%) and utilities (4.5%) segments.
In recent developments, the underlying index transitioned from the Solactive High Income MLP Index to the MVIS North America Energy Infrastructure Index on December 2, 2019, broadening its scope beyond MLPs to include corporate energy infrastructure entities while maintaining a high-income focus. VanEck, the ETF's sponsor, managed approximately $111 billion in assets as of mid-2024 across its ETF lineup, reflecting ongoing expansion in thematic and income-oriented strategies amid stable operations for EINC itself; no major acquisitions, funding rounds, or product discontinuations specific to EINC have been reported in the last 1-2 years, with the fund continuing to trade on NYSE Arca.
