ASX exchange-traded fund (ETF) provider VanEck will pay the next round of distributions (dividends) to investors today.
Investors in the VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat (AUD Hedged) ETF (ASX: MHOT) will receive the largest payment of $10.99 per unit.
Those who hold the unhedged VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT) will get the second-highest distribution of $7.56 per unit.
These two ETFs are different in that they do not try to mirror the performance of a major index like the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO).
Instead, the MOAT ETFs track about 50 US shares that have significant competitive advantages, or in other words, a wide 'moat'.
The wider the moat, the more protected a company's brand and its products or services are from competitors in the marketplace.
Here is a summary of VanEck ETFs that will be paying dividends to investors today.
