VanEck is also joining the UBS Arena Business Alliance, further strengthening its connection to the venue and community.

“We’re thrilled to be announcing this partnership and look forward to cheering on the Islanders as they chase the Cup this season. As we explored this partnership, it quickly became apparent that there was a natural fit,” said Kristen Capuano, CMO and co-COO with VanEck. “The Islanders brought the NHL to Long Island in 1972 and quickly claimed dynasty status, while VanEck opened doors to international markets at its founding in 1955 and went on to launch the first gold fund in the U.S. Both organizations have roots in bold beginnings and honor their history while never ceasing to push for future growth and success.”

VanEck’s forward-looking mindset has been core to the firm’s philosophy and evolution over the past 70 years. The firm has consistently been early to a range of investment approaches and categories, including transformative themes from gold and emerging markets to digital assets, semiconductors and nuclear energy, as well as the ETF category itself, where VanEck has been a leader since entering the space in 2006.

“VanEck is proud to be the official ETF sponsor of the New York Islanders. We hope this will raise awareness of our ETF solutions with one of the NHL’s most loyal fan bases. I should know, since I’ve been an Islanders fan my whole life,” added Jan van Eck, CEO of VanEck. “We wish the Islanders a good season and celebrate their owners, management team and players.”

“Behind every win, on or off the ice, is the hard work we put in every day to stay ahead of the game,” said Jon Ledecky, Co-Owner of the Islanders. “We could not be more excited to be welcoming VanEck as our official ETF partner and look forward to all we are going to accomplish together as the puck drops on this new season.”

About VanEck

VanEck has a history of looking beyond the financial markets to identify trends that are likely to create impactful investment opportunities. We were one of the first U.S. asset managers to offer investors access to international markets. This set the tone for the firm’s drive to identify asset classes and trends – including gold investing in 1968, emerging markets in 1993, and exchange-traded funds in 2006 – that subsequently shaped the investment management industry.

Today, VanEck offers active and passive strategies with compelling exposures supported by well-designed investment processes. As of August 31, 2025, VanEck managed approximately $145.7 billion in assets, including mutual funds, ETFs and institutional accounts. The firm’s capabilities range from core investment opportunities to more specialized exposures to enhance portfolio diversification. Our actively managed strategies are fueled by in-depth, bottom-up research and security selection from portfolio managers with direct experience in the sectors and regions in which they invest. Investability, liquidity, diversity, and transparency are key to the experienced decision-making around market and index selection underlying VanEck’s passive strategies.
