VanEck Communication Services TruSector ETF (TRUC) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of communication services-related companies or instruments providing exposure to such companies, including publicly traded common stocks, exchange-traded funds targeting communication services segments, and derivative instruments such as total return swaps on individual securities up to 20% of the portfolio. The fund employs VanEck's proprietary TruSector methodology, a hybrid model combining individual stocks with targeted ETFs to deliver unrestricted, full market-cap sector exposure while complying with Registered Investment Company diversification rules, thereby minimizing tracking error against benchmarks like the MarketVector Top US Communications Companies Index and avoiding overemphasis on smaller companies typical in traditional sector funds. TRUC targets U.S.-listed large- and mid-capitalization communication services companies characterized by industry dominance, high growth, and strong operating performance, serving investors such as asset allocators seeking precise sector tracking within diversified portfolios.
Launched on February 18, 2026, TRUC represents the latest expansion of VanEck's TruSector ETF suite, joining the VanEck Discretionary TruSector ETF (TRUD) and VanEck Technology TruSector ETF (TRUT), with its debut announced alongside the VanEck India Select ETF (INDZ) on February 19, 2026, to enhance the firm's sector-specific and emerging markets offerings. As of February 18, 2026, the fund reports a NAV of $25.07, total net assets of approximately $501,420, and a total expense ratio of 0.14%, with quarterly distributions. Issued and managed by Van Eck Associates Corporation, founded in 1955 and headquartered at 666 Third Avenue in New York City, the ETF operates primarily in U.S. equity markets as part of VanEck's broader global lineup of over 240 active and passive investment products encompassing ETFs, mutual funds, and institutional accounts, with approximately $181 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025.
