VanEck ETF Trust has received a notable update regarding its ownership structure, as disclosed in a recent SEC filing. Great Lakes Advisors, LLC has reported that it holds an 11.4% stake in the investment firm. This change is significant as it underscores the increasing interest from investment firms in the exchange-traded fund (ETF) market.

VanEck ETF Trust, based in New York, is an investment firm that focuses on providing a range of ETF products. The company has undergone several name changes in its history, previously known as VanEck Vectors ETF Trust and Market Vectors ETF Trust. The latest filing, dated November 13, 2026, is a Schedule 13G/A, which indicates an amendment to a previous filing regarding ownership stakes.

According to the filing, Great Lakes Advisors, LLC beneficially owns 1,118,622 shares of VanEck ETF Trust, representing 11.4% of the total shares. This stake is held solely by Great Lakes Advisors, with no shared power or direct voting rights indicated. The filing also certifies that these securities were acquired in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of influencing control over VanEck.

This significant stake by Great Lakes Advisors may impact various stakeholders, including existing shareholders and potential investors. The increased ownership by a well-known investment firm could enhance confidence in VanEck's future performance and attract additional interest in its ETF offerings.

The filing does not specify what actions may follow this disclosure, leaving open the possibility for further developments in the relationship between VanEck and Great Lakes Advisors.
