VanEck Vectors Long/Flat Trend ETF (LFEQ®) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Ned Davis Research CMG US Large Cap Long/Flat Index (NDRCMGLF). The NDRCMGLF Index follows a proprietary model that determines when, and by how much, it allocates to U.S. equities and/or U.S. Treasury bills to seek to help avoid losses in declining markets or capitalize from rising markets. The model produces daily trade signals to determine the Index's equity allocation percentage (100%, 50%, or 0%).

The goal of this strategy is to enhance returns over a buy-hold, U.S. large-cap equity benchmark by overweighting and underweighting sectors based on NDR’s proprietary sector model and mitigating the effects of substantial market declines by reducing equity market exposure as dictated by NDR’s U.S. Equity model.
