VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF (NLR)
Nuclear-energy ETF tracking the MVIS Global Uranium & Nuclear Energy index. Blends nuclear utilities and reactor names with uranium miners, so it is broader than a pure uranium-price bet. The 0.52% net expense ratio reflects a fee waiver in effect through May 2027.
