Arian Neiron, VanEck Asia Pacific chief executive and managing director, said the firm had enjoyed that position over the last three years and expected to maintain in the coming year.
“Investors have gravitated towards VanEck’s investment strategies because of their quality and innovation; our ETFs are predicated on a robust investment thesis,” Neiron said.
“We expect to maintain our growth momentum as we continue to launch Australia-first ETF products, which are attracting flows from new clients to the business, as well as existing ones.
“From tomorrow, all investors will have access to international private equity investments, for the first time via an ETF.”
