    SEC settlement over ETF promotion disclosures

    The SEC alleged that VanEck failed to disclose adequately its arrangements involving social-media influencer Dave Portnoy during an ETF launch, including payments intended to promote the product. Regulators also said the firm did not inform relevant fund oversight bodies about the arrangements. VanEck agreed to a $175 million settlement.
