The ISIN of VanEck Morningstar US SMID Moat UCITS ETF A is IE000SBU19F7. It trades in GBP. The ISIN identifies the fund itself, so every exchange listing of this share class shares it.
VanEck Morningstar US SMID Moat UCITS ETF A (SMTV) charges a total expense ratio of 0.49% a year, about $49 a year on a $10,000 holding. The TER is deducted continuously from fund assets rather than billed to you, so it shows up as a drag on returns and never as a separate charge.
VanEck Morningstar US SMID Moat UCITS ETF A (SMTV) is domiciled in Ireland (IE). A Ireland-domiciled UCITS fund receives US dividends at a 15% treaty withholding rate inside the fund, versus the 30% statutory rate on dividends paid directly to a non-resident (generally 25% for an Indian resident under the India-US treaty with a valid W-8BEN). The fund-level 15% is deducted before NAV and is not reclaimable by you. Its shares also sit outside US estate tax, which applies to US-situs assets above $60,000 for non-resident aliens.
VanEck Morningstar US SMID Moat UCITS ETF A (SMTV) tracks the Morningstar US Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index (MSUMMFNU), holding 105 positions.

VanEck Morningstar US SMID Moat UCITS ETF A (SMTV) holds $13m in assets. Size matters mainly for liquidity and durability: larger funds tend to quote tighter spreads and are far less likely to be closed or merged away.
Over the measured window SMTV showed annualised volatility of about 43.7% and a worst peak-to-trough fall of 26.3%. Volatility describes the size of a typical swing; the drawdown is what actually happened at the worst moment, and it is the number worth checking you could have held through.
