VanEck has cross-listed two ETFs on Xetra – the VanEck Vectors Preferred US Equity UCITS ETF (PRF1 GR) and the VanEck Vectors Natural Resources UCITS ETF (HAP1 GR) – providing exposure to US preferred shares and global natural resources equities respectively.

The new ETFs are listed on Xetra in euros, and have dollar and pounds sterling listings on the London Stock Exchange.
