What is the VanEck Morningstar International Wide Moat ETF (GOAT)?

Like companies that are above the competition? GOAT ETF focuses on companies from around the world that possess sustainable competitive advantages, known as wide “Economic Moats”. 

The term “Economic Moat” describes a company’s ability to maintain its competitive advantages and defend its long-term profitability. The wider the moat, the more protection the company is deemed to have from competitors and market erosion.

GOAT is the global version of the popular ETF, MOAT, and gives you a portfolio of international companies with sustainable competitive advantages or ‘wide economic moats’, according to Morningstar’s rigorous equity research. 

Only wide moat stocks that are trading at attractive prices are included in GOAT.
