    The VanEck Australian Long Short Complex ETF (ALFA) has declared a dividend of $0.2000 per unit for the July 2026 distribution. The DRP price is set at $22.7990 per unit, calculated as the net asset value per unit at market close on 30 June 2026 minus the dividend amount.<\/p>

    ALFA investors enrolled in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan will receive additional units at this DRP price instead of cash. Those wishing to join or modify their DRP participation should confirm their election with the Registrar before the record date. The immediate effect of the distribution on ALFA’s share price was not available at the time of publication.<\/p>

    Complete List of 51 VanEck ETFs with Confirmed July 2026 Distributions<\/h2>

    The July 2026 distribution covers a broad range of VanEck ETFs. Notably, the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) announced the highest cash distribution at $17.9900 per unit with a DRP price of $93.5819. The VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (MOAT) declared $11.6100 per unit at a DRP price of $114.3098, while the VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat (AUD Hedged) ETF (MHOT) declared $20.5400 per unit with the highest DRP price of $120.4389.<\/p>

Fixed income ETFs such as the VanEck 1-5 Year Australian Government Bond ETF (1GOV, $0.1150), VanEck 5-10 Year Australian Government Bond ETF (5GOV, $0.1200), and VanEck 10+ Year Australian Government Bond ETF (XGOV, $0.1800) declared modest dividends aligned with their lower-risk profiles.<\/p>

    Calculation Methodology for DRP Prices Across VanEck ETFs<\/h2>

    VanEck determined each fund’s DRP price by subtracting the declared dividend per unit from the net asset value (NAV) per unit as of market close on 30 June 2026. This approach ensures DRP participants acquire units at a price reflecting the post-distribution NAV, avoiding any market price premiums or discounts at reinvestment.<\/p>

    The Dividend Reinvestment Plan allows investors to receive additional units instead of cash distributions. The number of units is calculated by dividing the distribution amount by the DRP price. Investors not participating in the DRP will receive cash payments to their registered bank accounts with MUFG Corporate Markets. VanEck urges investors to verify bank details with the Registrar before the 2 July 2026 record date.<\/p>

    Important Dates: Ex-Date, Record Date, and Payment Dates in July 2026<\/h2>

    The ex-date for all 51 ETFs is Wednesday, 1 July 2026. Investors purchasing units on or before Tuesday, 30 June 2026, will be entitled to the dividend. The record date is Thursday, 2 July 2026, when eligible unitholders must be recorded.<\/p>

    Most funds have an indicative payment date of Monday, 27 July 2026. However, seven ETFs — VanEck Geared Australian Equal Weight Complex ETF (GMVW), VanEck MSCI International Value (AUD Hedged) ETF (HVLU), VanEck MSCI International Quality (AUD Hedged) ETF (QHAL), VanEck MSCI International Small Companies Quality (AUD Hedged) ETF (QHSM), VanEck Core+ Diversified Balanced Active ETF (VBAL), VanEck Core+ Diversified Growth Active ETF (VGRO), and VanEck Core+ Diversified High Growth Active ETF (VHGR) — have an indicative payment date of Wednesday, 29 July 2026. Payment dates remain subject to change.<\/p>

    Withholding Tax Information and Additional Distribution Details Expected by 15 July 2026<\/h2>

    VanEck will release withholding tax components and other distribution specifics on or around Wednesday, 15 July 2026. This disclosure is standard for Australian ETFs, as tax treatment varies depending on the underlying income sources such as Australian and international dividends, interest, capital gains, and foreign income.<\/p>

    This information is vital for investors preparing tax returns or evaluating after-tax income, especially non-residents or those invested in funds with significant international income streams. For example, the VanEck MSCI Multifactor Emerging Markets Equity ETF (EMKT) declared $4.6400 per unit with a DRP price of $35.9828, and the VanEck MSCI International Value (AUD Hedged) ETF (HVLU) declared $7.1800 per unit at a DRP price of $39.9972.<\/p>
