The product manager Moritz Henkel details the wide approach to the ETF launched last May. It is designed to compensate for the risks linked to the uncertainty of long -term commercial success of this technology.
Barely three months after its launch at the end of May 2025, Vaneck Quantum Computing Ucits ETF reached an outstanding $ 100 million. First of its kind in Europe, this ETF offers investors access to this pioneer technology.
“The rapid growth of our ETF shows us that with this new product, we have responded to the interest of investors,” says Martijn Rozemuller, CEO of Vaneck Europe.
“ETF Quantum offers early access to revolutionary technology that has immense economic implications in many areas.” For example, quantum computers can help simulate complex molecular structures in medical research or test different scenarios in record time, especially in logistics or in the field of automatic learning. Investors should note that investments in quantum IT has technological and market risks.
The consulting firm McKinsey estimates that the total market for quantum technologies could reach a volume of up to $ 173 billion by 2040 – with long -term annual growth of 14 to 17%. Although concrete use cases for quantum computers already appear today, commercial success remains uncertain and the introduction of technology could be delayed or failed, which makes investments particularly risky.
“There are still relatively few specialized quantum companies listed on the stock market. In addition, it is now impossible to predict which companies will benefit from it and will last in the long term, ”explains Moritz Henkel, product manager at Vaneck Europe. “This is why we adopt with our ETF a wide approach, which takes into account both young and specialized start-ups in quantum IT, as well as established companies with use cases for this technology.”
To this end, Vaneck Quantum Computing UCITS ETF is currently investing in 30 companies around the world, on the one hand in so-called “pure-play” companies, which achieve most of their turnover thanks to technologies or services linked to quantum computers. On the other hand, the ETF can also include leading companies in the research and development of quantum computers or which already apply this technology. The selection is made according to the number of relevant patents already granted to a company in the field of quantum computer science. This targeted selection process makes it possible to include in the portfolio not only of disruptive pioneers such as IONQ, Rigetti or D-Wave, but also established technological, industrial and financial companies such as IBM, Alphabet, Honeywell or Bank of America, which are actively preparing in the quantum era. Investors must take into account the fact that the high volatility of technological actions can cause significant fluctuations in ETF value.
