- VanEck Morningstar Global Wide Moat ETF (MOTG) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Morningstar Global Wide Moat Focus Index. The ETF provides U.S. investors with exposure to global companies that Morningstar identifies as having sustainable competitive advantages, or "wide moats," while targeting those trading at attractive valuations relative to Morningstar's fair value estimates; this strategy draws on forward-looking equity research from over 100 Morningstar analysts worldwide. The fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities comprising the benchmark index, which focuses on wide moat companies across sectors such as industrials (approximately 28%), health care (16%), consumer staples (15%), information technology (13%), and consumer discretionary (11%); top holdings as of late 2025 include Fanuc Corp., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Roche Holding AG, GSK Plc, and Hoya Corp. Geographic allocations emphasize the United States (32%), China (16%), Japan (11%), the United Kingdom (9%), and other regions including Switzerland, the Netherlands, and France. With a net expense ratio of 0.52%, the ETF distributes dividends and capital gains annually, delivering a 30-day SEC yield of around 1.54% as of December 2025. Launched on October 30, 2018, and headquartered at VanEck's principal offices in New York, New York, MOTG operates within the asset management industry, serving institutional and retail investors seeking quality-focused global equity exposure. Recent performance highlights include year-to-date returns of approximately 24% through December 2025, with total net assets reaching $18 million; the fund has outperformed in volatile markets by emphasizing durable wide moat firms like Microsoft and BlackRock. In September 2025, VanEck announced the liquidation of related ETFs MOTE and MGRO to refocus its wide moat strategy, allowing MOTG to continue as a core offering amid strong 2025 results.
