What this ETF is trying to do

The VanEck Materials TruSector ETF (TRUM) is designed to provide exposure to the materials sector. It invests in companies that deal with raw materials, such as chemicals, metals, and mining. Based on its holdings, it focuses on a variety of industrial materials companies.

What the numbers show

As of September 25, 2026, the current price of TRUM is $24.78.

There is currently no data supplied for year-to-date, one-year, or three-year price and total returns. Because there is not enough verified price history, an erosion score was not provided.

Top Holdings

The fund holds a total of 27 assets. Because the supplied list is partial, these are the Top Holdings as of October 12, 2026:

• Linde PLC: 16.86%

• State Street Materials Select SPDR ETF: 14.82%

• Newmont Corp: 10.5%

• Freeport-McMoRan Inc: 8.35%

• Sherwin-Williams Co: 5.76%

• Ecolab Inc: 5.28%

• Air Products and Chemicals Inc: 4.82%

• CRH PLC: 4.39%

• Nucor Corp: 4.21%

• Corteva Inc: 3.97%

Holdings can change over time.

Income and distribution explanation

TRUM is not currently providing income to investors. The supplied data shows a distribution yield of 0% and no distributions detected over the last 12 months. It has an income rating grade of "F" with a score of 49. For investors who rely on ETFs for regular cash payments, this fund does not currently meet that need.

NAV erosion explanation

The supplied data is sufficient to evaluate price erosion, but it does not include enough historical NAV-per-share data to confirm or rule out NAV erosion. However, the severe erosion-risk flag is false, meaning the specific screening rules for substantial price deterioration were not triggered.

Pros

• Sector Focus: Provides a way to invest in the materials industry through a single fund.

• Diversified Top Holdings: The portfolio includes a mix of different materials companies, from gases (Linde PLC) to gold mining (Newmont Corp).

Cons

• No Income: There are no current distributions or yields for investors seeking cash flow.

• Limited Data: There is a lack of supplied historical return data to judge past performance.

Beginner takeaway

TRUM is a materials-sector ETF. It is not an income-generating fund, as it has no current distribution yield. It is primarily used for those who want their portfolio to be exposed to the companies that produce the world's raw materials.
