VanEck Morningstar International Moat ETF (MOTI) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Morningstar Global Markets ex-US Wide Moat Focus Index (MSGXUMNU), which tracks approximately 50 to 75 attractively priced companies outside the U.S. with sustainable competitive advantages, or "wide moats," as identified by Morningstar's equity research team of over 100 analysts globally. The fund provides investors with equal-weighted exposure to non-U.S. equities across sectors including consumer staples (approximately 25%), health care (21%), industrials (20%), and information technology (12%), with top holdings such as Yaskawa Electric Corp., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Baidu Inc., Barry Callebaut AG, and GSK plc; geographic allocations emphasize China (23%), Japan (17%), France (10%), Switzerland (9%), and the United Kingdom (9%). Launched on July 13, 2015 and domiciled in the United States, MOTI is issued and managed by VanEck, headquartered at 666 Third Avenue, New York, New York, with total net assets of approximately $202 million, a net expense ratio of 0.58%, and a dividend yield around 1.92% as of December 2025. Recent periodic index rebalances have driven portfolio changes, including additions such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and BASF SE in prior updates, trims to financials, Nutrien's inclusion with Enbridge's removal, and shifts incorporating Baidu and others, reflecting Morningstar's ongoing assessment of moat ratings and valuations amid market dynamics like China's exposure and sector rotations. In 2024, the fund distributed an annual dividend of $1.45 per share (ex-date December 23), supporting its yield profile for income-oriented investors targeting international value opportunities.
