On 27 October, the firm announced WBMO, the VanEck Wealth Builder ETF. It\u2019s what the asset manager calls an all-in-one fund, offering exposure to stocks, bonds, real assets and up to 5% in digital assets.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than holding stocks, bonds or Bitcoin directly, WBMO invests in other ETFs, with VanEck managing the allocations and rebalancing the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WBMO comes with a net annual expense ratio of 0.26%, down from 0.33% after fee waivers, and can be traded by retail investors on the NYSE Arca.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fund builds on VanEck\u2019s existing Wealth Builder investment portfolios, bringing the strategy into a single ETF that investors can buy through a brokerage account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As this is a brand-new fund, its 37 holdings had a total net asset value of just US$251,640 (AU$357,857) as of 26 October. The only crypto holding is a 1.89% holding in the VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related:<\/strong> <strong>Galaxy Says Bitcoin\u2019s Bear Market Ended in June, Sees Room to Retake $125,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-s-in-wbmo\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s in WBMO?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The largest holdings are the State Street SPDR Portfolio S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPYM) with 17.54% and the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQM) with 11.65%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two of the bond ETFs are the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF) with a 9.67% share and the iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) with a 4.82% share.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the many smaller holdings are specific bets on semiconductors and emerging markets, as well as a 3.63% exposure to gold via the VanEck Merk Gold ETF (OUNZ).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The target for Bitcoin within WBMO is 2%, while the permitted range is between 1% and 5%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related:<\/strong> <strong>Strategy Pauses Bitcoin Purchases as Strive Buys Another US$511M<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-moving-beyond-the-traditional-60-40-portfolio\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moving Beyond the Traditional 60\/40 Portfolio<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David Schassler, VanEck\u2019s portfolio manager and head of multi-asset solutions, said investing in assets beyond stocks and bonds could help investors navigate a changing economic landscape.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blockquote-block_22ca9c65c041cdf3ca527ff7b82f6bfb\" class=\"blockquote-container variant-personal\">\n<div class=\"blockquote-text\">\n<p>The traditional 60\/40 portfolio was built for a different investment landscape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blockquote-attribution\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cryptonews.com.au\/2026\/10\/28160701\/David-Schassler-VanEcks-portfolio-manager-and-head-of-multi-asset-solutions.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cryptonews.com.au\/2026\/10\/28160701\/David-Schassler-VanEcks-portfolio-manager-and-head-of-multi-asset-solutions.jpg\" class=\"author-image\" data-eio=\"l\"\/>        David Schassler, VanEck\u2019s portfolio manager and head of multi-asset solutions    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The classic 60\/40 portfolio splits investments between 60% stocks and 40% bonds, aiming to balance growth with stability and income.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has also questioned the role of bonds in investment portfolios, particularly during periods of high inflation.
