- VanEck Long/Flat Trend ETF (LFEQ) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Ned Davis Research CMG US Large Cap Long/Flat Index (NDRCMGLF); the index utilizes a proprietary rules-based model to tactically allocate between U.S. equities, principally the S&P 500 via holdings such as the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), and U.S. Treasury bills; the model incorporates daily trade signals based on breadth across 24 industries, short-, intermediate-, and long-term trend indicators, volatility measures, and mean reversion inputs to determine equity exposure at 100%, 50%, or 0%, aiming to minimize losses in market downturns while participating in uptrends. LFEQ operates within the asset allocation and multi-asset segment of the exchange-traded funds industry, targeting U.S. investors seeking trend-following exposure to large-cap U.S. equities with downside protection; the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in securities that track or comprise the benchmark index. Launched on October 4, 2017, and managed by VanEck, a New York City-based global investment management firm with operations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific, LFEQ had total net assets of approximately $27.12 million as of December 16, 2025, with a net expense ratio of 0.64%. Ned Davis Research, one of the largest independent institutional investment research providers, has driven enhancements to the underlying index methodology, including updates implemented on November 1, 2019, to improve factor composition and timeliness, followed by additional changes on December 9, 2021, incorporating a volatility indicator into the breadth composite score and refined allocation rules; the fund was renamed from VanEck Vectors NDR CMG Long/Flat Allocation ETF to its current name in March 2020 to better highlight its trend-following strategy.
