Investors will always prefer to have their portfolios divercified against different sectors. The broad sector allocation increases the possibility of making a profit or at least avoiding a loss. However, this may also reduce the expected return on VanEck Etf. Generally, it depends on diversification level and type but usually, the broader the sector allocation, the less risk can be expected from holding VanEck Etf, and the less return is expected.
Institutional investors that are interested in enforcing a sector tilt in their portfolio can use exchange-traded funds, such as VanEck Steel ETF Etf, as a low-cost alternative to building a custom portfolio.
