By VanEck The VanEck Vectors® Real Asset Allocation ETF ( RAAX n/a ) uses a data-driven, rules-based process that leverages over 50 indicators (technical, macroeconomic and fundamental, commodity price, and sentiment) to allocate across 12 individual real asset segments in five broad real asset sectors.
