"VanEck Quantum Computing UCITS ETF (the "ETF") (ISIN: IE0007Y8Y157), a UCITS listed in Europe"

UCITS is a European regulatory standard for pooled investment funds that sets common rules on how they are run, what they can invest in, and how they protect individual investors. Think of it like a certified recipe and passport for retail funds: it assures basic safeguards such as diversification, liquidity and clear reporting, which helps investors compare options, reduces risk of surprise practices, and makes funds easier to buy across borders.

etf financial

"BTQ has been included in the VanEck Quantum Computing UCITS ETF (the "ETF")"

An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is like a basket of different investments such as stocks or bonds that you can buy or sell easily on the stock market, just like a regular share. It allows people to invest in many companies at once, making it a simple way to grow savings without picking individual stocks.

"VanEck Quantum Computing UCITS ETF (the "ETF") (ISIN: IE0007Y8Y157)"

A 12-character International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) is a unique code that acts like a passport for a specific stock, bond or other tradable security so it can be identified worldwide. Investors and systems use it to ensure they are buying, selling and tracking the exact same instrument across exchanges and data feeds, which prevents costly mix-ups and makes portfolio reporting, settlement and regulatory checks simpler and more reliable.
