- VanEck Morningstar ESG Moat ETF (MOTE) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate the performance of the Morningstar US Sustainability Moat Focus Index, prior to fees and expenses, providing exposure to U.S. companies with sustainable competitive advantages, or wide economic moats, that trade at attractive valuations relative to Morningstar's fair value estimates while incorporating ESG risk screenings from Sustainalytics to exclude firms with severe controversies, controversial business involvement, or poor ESG risk management. The ETF holds a diversified portfolio of approximately 55 equities across sectors such as consumer discretionary, health care, industrials, information technology, and communication services; top holdings include Allegion plc, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., NIKE Inc., Alphabet Inc., and Teradyne Inc. Launched in October 2021 by VanEck, a New York City-based asset manager founded in 1955 and headquartered at 666 Third Avenue, the fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking quality U.S. large- and mid-cap equities with enhanced sustainability characteristics; it features an expense ratio of 0.49% or 0.50%, accumulating distribution policy, and trades on the Cboe BZX Exchange. In a significant recent development, VanEck announced in September 2025 the liquidation of MOTE alongside the Morningstar Wide Moat Growth ETF (MGRO), citing evaluations of performance, liquidity, assets under management (approximately $15.84 million for MOTE), and investor interest; trading ceased after market close on September 19, 2025, with liquidating distributions paid on or about September 26 or 29, 2025, marking the fund's closure.
