MARKET VECTORS MUNICIPAL INCOME ETFS

(unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for the municipal income exchange-traded funds of the Market Vectors ETF Trust for the six-month period ended October 31, 2015.

 

During the period under review, municipal bond closed-end fund (CEF) discounts sank to the depths seen at the end of 2013. These significant discounts may represent value in a world where value appears scarce.

 

The Market Vectors CEF Municipal Income ETF (NYSE Arca: XMPT) seeks to track an index created specifically to capitalize on CEF market dynamics. CEFs tend to move from premiums to discounts and from discounts to premiums. The index is intelligently designed, assigning higher weights to CEFs trading at greater discounts and smaller weights to those trading at higher premiums. We believe this “sell high and buy low” approach may benefit investors. When a fund trades at a discount, more than a dollar of assets goes to work for every dollar invested. Therefore, the yield on the share price will actually be higher than that on the NAV of the portfolio.

 

Additionally, municipal bond investments generally provide the added benefit of income exempt from federal and, in some cases, state or local income taxes.1 Discrepancies in share prices and NAVs generally result from changing investor sentiment. When investors are nervous, discounts typically appear. When the sentiment is positive, those discounts tend to narrow or turn to premiums.

 

As seen in the chart below, the weighted average discount of the underlying municipal bond closed-end funds in the Market Vectors CEF Municipal Income ETF was -6.82% as of October 31, 2015.

Discounts may, in the short term, widen further. Or they may narrow, providing the potential for capital appreciation. However they move, we believe that for long-term investors municipal bond closed-end funds, in general, may offer attractive income-generating opportunities.

Market Review

 

During the six-month period ended October 31, 2015, the municipal bond market (munis) continued to experience inflows. Continuing to build on their positive performances in the 12 months to April 30, 2015, all the Market Vectors Municipal Income ETFs performed positively for the six-month period under review. The performances of Market Vectors Intermediate Municipal Index ETF (NYSE Arca: ITM) and Market Vectors Long Municipal Index ETF (NYSE Arca: MLN) were particularly notable.

 

May 1, 2015 through October 31, 2015

Market Vectors Municipal Income ETFs Total Return

 

 

Source: Van Eck Research. Returns based on NAV. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and ETF share values will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETF returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted.

 

Short Municipal Index ETF/Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF

 

Among short-term municipal bonds, the state general obligation sector contributed most to the total return of the Short Municipal Index ETF. All other sectors contributed positive performance. In terms of state/U.S. territory, New York, and California contributed the most to the total return of the Fund, while Illinois was the only detractor from performance.

 

Municipal bonds from California and Illinois contributed the most to the total return of the Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF. Grouped by state/U.S. territory, no municipal bonds detracted from performance, but those from Arizona contributed the least.

 

Intermediate Municipal Index ETF

 

Municipal bonds from New York and California contributed the most to the total return of the Fund, while when grouped by state/U.S. territory, those from New Jersey detracted the most from performance, but only minimally. The sectors with the largest and second largest average weightings in the index, state general obligation, and local general obligation, were the two largest contributors to the Fund’s performance. The local general sector detracted most from performance, but only minimally.

 

Long Municipal Index ETF

 

All sectors contributed positively to the Fund’s total return, with the hospital sector being by far the greatest contributor. Municipal bonds issued by California and New York contributed the most to performance. Grouped by state/U.S. territory, municipal bonds issued by four states—Illinois, Kentucky, Montana, and Tennessee—were detractors from performance.

Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF/High-Yield Municipal Index ETF

 

While the hospital and the industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue (IDR/PCR) sectors contributed most to Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF performance, the state general obligation and transportation sectors were the largest detractors from performance. Every single state/U.S. territory represented in the Fund—with the exception of Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, Puerto Rico, and Vermont—contributed positively to the Fund’s total return, with municipal bonds from Ohio and Texas contributing the most to performance.

 

In the High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, the hospital and IDR/PCR sectors contributed by far the most to total return, and the special tax and transportation sectors contributed the least. Municipal bonds from California and Ohio made the greatest contribution to performance and those from Puerto Rico detracted most from performance.

 

CEF Municipal Income ETF

 

Over the six months under review, the average discount at which municipal closed-end funds (CEFs) traded first widened to over 10%, and then narrowed back close to its value at the beginning of the period. From a starting point on May 1, 2015 of -6.56%, the average discount had narrowed back to -6.82% by the end of the reporting period. Since many municipal CEFs use leverage, and short-term rates remained low during the period under review, the cost of leverage, too, remained relatively low. This was beneficial to the municipal closed-end fund market and the Fund returned 1.51% for the six-month period.

1 The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (7/12/11) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (7/13/11), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

 

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund reflects temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment return and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 800.826.2333 or by visiting vaneck.com.

 

Gross Expense Ratio 0.53% / Net Expense Ratio 0.40%

 

Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses) from exceeding 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2016. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.

 

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

 

The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF was 1/13/14.

 

1 The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (1/13/14) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (1/14/14), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

 

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund reflects temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment return and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 800.826.2333 or by visiting vaneck.com.

 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses 0.35%

 

The Investment Management Agreement between Market Vectors ETF Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) provides that the Adviser will pay all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payment under the Investment Management Agreement, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses.

 

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

 

The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

 

Barclays Inc. does not sponsor, endorse, or promote the Fund and bears no liability with respect to any such Fund or security.

 

Index returns assume the reinvestment of all income and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses associated with Fund returns. Investors cannot invest directly in the Index. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

2 Barclays Municipal High Yield Short Duration Index (BMHYTR) is a market size weighted index composed of publicly traded municipal bonds that cover the U.S. dollar denominated high yield short-term tax-exempt bond market.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

EXPLANATION OF EXPENSES

(unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This disclosure is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The disclosure is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period, May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line in the table below provides information about account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as program fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2015 (unaudited)

 

Note 1—Fund Organization—Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was incorporated in Delaware as a statutory trust on March 15, 2001. The Trust operates as a series fund, and as of October 31, 2015, offers fifty four investment portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of the Trust.

 

These financial statements relate only to the following investment portfolios: CEF Municipal Income ETF (“CEF Municipal”), High-Yield Municipal Index ETF (“High-Yield”), Intermediate Municipal Index ETF (“Intermediate”), Long Municipal Index ETF (“Long”), Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF (“Pre-Refunded”), Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF (“Short High-Yield”) and Short Municipal Index ETF (“Short”), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”. Each Fund’s investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of its Index. The Funds (except CEF Municipal) expect to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve their objectives. Sampling means that Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) uses quantitative analysis to select bonds and other securities that represent a sample of securities in the Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. The number of securities in each Fund will be based upon several factors, including asset size of the Fund. The Adviser generally expects each Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in the Index, but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. CEF Municipal seeks to achieve its objectives through a portfolio of securities in substantially the same weighting as its index.

 

The Funds’ commencement of operations dates and their respective Indices are presented below:

 

    Commencement    
Fund   of Operations       Index
CEF Municipal  July 12, 2011  S-Network Municipal Bond Closed-End Fund IndexSM
High-Yield  February 4, 2009  Barclays Municipal Custom High Yield Composite Index
Intermediate  December 4, 2007  Barclays AMT-Free Intermediate Continuous Municipal Index
Long  January 2, 2008  Barclays AMT-Free Long Continuous Municipal Index
Pre-Refunded  February 2, 2009  Barclays Municipal Pre-Refunded-Treasury-Escrowed Index
Short High-Yield  January 13, 2014  Barclays Municipal High Yield Short Duration Index
Short  February 22, 2008  Barclays AMT-Free Short Continuous Municipal Index

 

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Funds are investment companies and are following accounting and reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

 

A.Security Valuation—The Funds value their investments in securities and other assets and liabilities carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Securities traded on national exchanges or traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last sales price as reported at the close of each business day. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Over-the-counter securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System and listed securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (described below). Debt securities are valued on the basis of evaluated prices furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date and/or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Short-term obligations with more than sixty days remaining to maturity are valued at market value. Short-term obligations with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued

interest approximates fair value. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee of the Adviser appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Pricing Committee provides oversight of the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value. The Pricing Committee convenes regularly to review the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available. The Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approaches utilized to determine fair value, including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing and disposition analysis.

 

Certain factors such as economic conditions, political events, market trends, the nature of and duration of any restrictions on disposition, trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers and other security specific information are used to determine the fair value of these securities. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these securities may be classified either as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The price which the Funds may realize upon sale of an investment may differ materially from the value presented in the Schedules of Investments.

 

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis which includes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy assume the financial instruments were transferred at the beginning of the reporting period. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

  Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
    
  Level 2 —Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
    
  Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

A summary of the inputs, the levels used to value the Funds’ investments, and transfers between levels are located in the Schedules of Investments. Additionally, tables that reconcile the valuation of the Funds’ Level 3 investments and that present additional information about valuation methodologies and unobservable inputs, if applicable, are located in the Schedules of Investments.

 

B.Federal Income Taxes—It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
  
C. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders—Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least monthly by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and paid annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.
  
D.Restricted Securities—The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
  
E. Use of Derivative Instruments—The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment
116

 

 

 streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivative instruments also involves the risk of loss if the investment adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instruments. The Funds held no derivative instruments during the period ended October 31, 2015.
  
F.Other—Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Transactions in certain securities may take longer than the customary settlement cycle to be completed. The counterparty is required to collateralize such trades with cash in excess of the market value of the transaction, which is held at the custodian and marked to market daily. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or an increase in realized gain. Such amounts are based upon estimates if actual amounts are not available, and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from estimated amounts. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned. Interest income is generally not earned on debt securities in default or upon determination that the income is not realizable.
  
 In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Adviser believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

Note 3—Investment Management and Other Agreements—The Adviser is the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The High Yield, Intermediate, Long, Pre-Refunded, Short High-Yield and Short Funds utilize a unitary management fee where the Adviser is responsible for all expenses of the Funds, except the fee payment under the Investment Advisory Agreement, interest expenses, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses. For CEF Municipal Income ETF, the Adviser voluntarily waived its fees and assumed certain fund expenses during this period to limit total annual operating expenses to the expense limitation listed below.

 

The current management fee rate, expense limitation and the amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser for the period ended October 31, 2015 are as follows:

 

   Management  Expense  Waiver of  Expenses Assumed
Fund  Fee Rate  Limitations  Management Fees  by the Adviser
CEF Municipal *  0.40%  0.40%  $32,205  $—

 

* The Adviser has agreed, at least until September 1, 2016, to voluntarily waive or limit its fees and to assume as its own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses do not exceed the expense limitation, excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering cost, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses.

 

   Unitary
Management
Fund  Fee Rate
High-Yield   0.35%
Intermediate   0.24 
Long   0.24 
Pre-Refunded   0.24 
Short High-Yield   0.35 
Short   0.20 

 

In addition, Van Eck Securities Corporation, an affiliate of the Adviser, acts as the Funds’ Distributor. Certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are officers, directors or stockholders of the Adviser and Distributor.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained assuming examination by applicable tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on return filings for all open tax years. Therefore, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

118

 

 

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended October 31, 2015, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Note 6—Capital Share Transactions—As of October 31, 2015, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units, consisting of 100,000 shares, except for CEF Municipal, which has Creation Units consisting of 50,000 shares, or multiples thereof. The consideration for the purchase or redemption of Creation Units of the Funds generally consists of the in-kind contribution or distribution of securities constituting the Funds’ underlying index plus a small amount of cash. For the period ended October 31, 2015, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:

 

Fund  In-Kind Contributions In-Kind Redemptions

Note 7—Concentration and Other Risks—Each Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers. Investments in municipal securities involve risks similar to those of investing in any fund of fixed income securities traded on exchanges, such as market fluctuations caused by factors such as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds.

 

High-Yield and Short High-Yield invest in non-investment grade securities, often referred to as “junk bonds.” Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. These high yield securities may involve greater risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. government bonds and other high quality fixed-income securities. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high yield securities may be less liquid due to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market and because of a decline in the value of such securities. High-Yield and Short High-Yield may not be able to sell bonds at desired prices and that large purchases or sales of certain high-yield bond issues may cause substantial fluctuations in share price, yield and total return.

 

CEF Municipal invests in closed-end funds that may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. A closed-end fund may be leveraged as part of its investment strategy. As a result, the Fund may be indirectly exposed to the effects of leverage through its investment in the underlying funds. Investments in underlying funds that use leverage may cause the value of the Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if the Fund invested in underlying funds that do not utilize leverage.

 

Puerto Rico municipal securities, in which certain Funds invest, currently experience significant financial difficulties. As a result, certain securities issued by this municipality are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. A credit rating downgrade, default, insolvency or bankruptcy, of one or several municipal security issuers of this territory, could affect the market values and marketability of municipal obligations of such territory held by the Funds.

 

Note 8—Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan—The Trust has a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for Trustees under which the Trustees can elect to defer receipt of their trustee fees until retirement, disability or termination from the Board of Trustees. The fees otherwise payable to the participating Trustees are deemed invested in shares of the Funds as directed by the Trustees.

 

Effective September 1, 2010, High Yield, Intermediate, Long, Pre-Refunded and Short Funds adopted a unitary management fee where the Adviser is responsible for all expenses of the Funds. Therefore, the expense for the Plan

119

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

for these Funds and for Short High-Yield are included in “Management fees”. The liability for the Plan is shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for amounts accrued through September 1, 2010 and in “Due to Adviser” for amounts accrued after September 1, 2010.

 

For CEF Municipal, the expense for the Plan is included in “Trustees’ fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations. The liability for the Plan is shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Note 9—Bank Line of Credit—Certain Funds may participate in a $200 million committed credit facility (“Facility”) to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Funds at the request of the shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds have agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the unused but available balance. Interest is charged to the Funds at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the period ended October 31, 2015, the following Funds borrowed under this facility:

 

   Days  Average Daily  Average
Fund  Outstanding  Loan Balance  Interest Rate
High-Yield  7  $2,970,056    1.53%
Intermediate  8   222,854    1.53 
Short High-Yield  24   256,109    1.54 
Short  20   326,687    1.52 

 

As of October 31, 2015, the Funds had no outstanding loan balances.

 

Note 10—Custodian Fees—The Funds have entered into an expense offset agreement with the custodian wherein they receive a credit toward the reduction of custodian fees whenever there are uninvested cash balances. The Funds could have invested their cash balances elsewhere if they had not agreed to a reduction in fees under the expense offset agreement with the custodian. For the period ended October 31, 2015, there were no offsets to custodian fees.

 

Note 11—Subsequent Events—The Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

 

The following dividends from net investment income were declared and paid subsequent to October 31, 2015:

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on June 9, 2015 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees that are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved (i) the continuation of the investment management agreements (the “Municipal Investment Management Agreements”) between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) with respect to the Market Vectors California Long Municipal Index ETF, High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, Intermediate Municipal Index ETF, Long Municipal Index ETF, Massachusetts Municipal Index ETF, New Jersey Municipal Index ETF, New York Long Municipal Index ETF, Ohio Municipal Index ETF, Pennsylvania Municipal Index ETF, Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF, Puerto Rico Municipal Index ETF, Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF and Short Municipal Index ETF (the “Municipal Funds”) and (ii) the continuation of the investment management agreement between the Trust and the Adviser (the “CEF Investment Management Agreement,” and together with the Municipal Investment Management Agreements, the “Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to Market Vectors CEF Municipal Income ETF (the “CEF Muni Fund” and together with the Municipal Funds, the “Funds”).

 

The Board’s approval of the Investment Management Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all of the information available to the Trustees and was not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered those factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors.

 

In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 15, 2015. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information the Adviser and Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent third party data provider, had provided to them in advance. The information provided to the Trustees included, among other things, information about the performance (for those Funds which had begun operations) and expenses of the Funds and the Funds’ peer funds (other index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)), information about the advisory services provided to the Funds and the personnel providing those services, and the profitability and other benefits enjoyed by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds. In reviewing performance information for the Funds against their peer groups, the Trustees considered that each Fund generally invests in a different group of issuers than the funds in its designated peer group. In addition, as noted below, the Trustees reviewed certain performance information for each Fund that was not provided by Lipper. For these and other reasons, the Trustees noted that the peer group information did not necessarily provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds.

 

The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreements was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and the May 15, 2015 meeting regarding the management of the Funds and information obtained at other meetings of the Trustees and/or based on their review of the materials provided by the Adviser, including the background and experience of the portfolio manager(s) and others involved in the management and administration of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the terms of, and scope of services that the Adviser provides under the Investment Management Agreements, including, with respect to the CEF Muni Fund, the Adviser’s commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of the CEF Muni Fund to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the CEF Muni Fund from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of time and, with respect to the Municipal Funds, the Adviser’s agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Municipal Funds (excluding interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses).

 

The Trustees concluded that the Adviser has the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Funds’ portfolios. In evaluating the performance over relevant periods of each of the Funds that had commenced operations prior to the date of the Renewal Meeting (the “Operating Funds”), the Trustees reviewed various performance metrics but relied principally on a comparison of the “gross” performance of each Operating Fund (i.e., measured without regard to the impact of fees and expenses) to the performance of its benchmark index, in each case incorporating any fair value adjustments to the underlying securities. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Operating Funds was satisfactory.

 

The Trustees also considered information relating to the financial condition of the Adviser and the current status, as they understood it, of the Adviser’s compliance environment.

 

As noted above, the Trustees were also provided various data from Lipper comparing the Operating Funds’ expenses and performance to that of other ETFs. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that each Operating Fund, except the CEF Muni Fund, had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) below

121

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

 

or equal to the average and/or median of its respective peer group of funds. With respect to the CEF Muni Fund, the Trustees reviewed the amount by which the CEF Muni Fund’s total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) exceeded the average and median of its peer group. The Trustees noted that the CEF Muni Fund had unique investment characteristics as a “fund of closed-end funds,” which differentiated the Fund from those funds contained in its Lipper peer group because a portion of the fees attributable to the CEF Muni Fund were fees incurred by the funds in which it invests. The Trustees concluded, in light of this information and the other information available to them, that the fees paid by the Operating Funds were reasonable in light of the performance of the Operating Funds and the quality of services received.

 

The Trustees also considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreements, received by the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Funds, including any benefits it may receive from serving as administrator to the Funds and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor for the Funds.

 

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser about the overall profitability of the Adviser and its profitability or loss in respect of each Operating Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size, expense ratio and expense cap and noted that the Investment Management Agreements do not include breakpoints in the advisory fee rates as asset levels in a Fund increase. The Trustees considered the potential variability in net assets of these Funds and the sustainability of any potential economies of scale which may exist. The Trustees also evaluated the extent to which management fees for the Operating Funds effectively incorporate the benefits of economies of scale. The Trustees also considered, with respect to the Municipal Funds, the risks being assumed by the Adviser under the unitary fee structure arrangement and the potential expense stability that may inure to the benefit of shareholders of the Municipal Funds. Based on the foregoing and the other information available to them, the Trustees determined that the advisory fee rate for each Fund is reasonable and appropriate in relation to the current asset size of each Fund and the other factors discussed above and currently reflects an appropriate sharing of any economies of scale which may exist with shareholders. The Trustees also determined that the profits earned by the Adviser in respect of the Funds that were profitable to the Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services received by such Funds.

 

The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability to the Adviser of Market Vectors California Long Municipal Index ETF, Massachusetts Municipal Index ETF, New Jersey Municipal Index ETF, New York Long Municipal Index ETF, Ohio Municipal Index ETF, Pennsylvania Municipal Index ETF and Puerto Rico Municipal Index ETF because the Funds had not yet commenced operations at the time of the Renewal Meeting. The Trustees could not consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to each of these Funds although they concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser were appropriate based on the Trustees’ knowledge of the Adviser and its personnel and the operations of the other series of the Trust.

 

The Independent Trustees were advised by and met in executive session with their independent counsel at the Renewal Meeting and at their May 15, 2015 meeting, as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreements.

 

In voting to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each Investment Management Agreement are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees further concluded that each Investment Management Agreement is in the best interest of each Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.

 

* * *

 

At a meeting held on June 9, 2015, (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees that are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved an investment management agreement between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the Market Vectors 6-8 Year Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors 8-12 Year Municipal Index ETF and Market Vectors 12-17 Year Municipal Index ETF (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”).

 

The Board’s approval of the Investment Management Agreement was based on a comprehensive consideration of all of the information available to the Trustees and was not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured

122

 

 

particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered those factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors.

 

In advance of the Meeting, the Trustees received materials from the Adviser, including expense information for other funds. The Adviser provided the Trustees with information regarding, among other things, the various aspects of each Fund’s proposed investment program, fee arrangements and service provider arrangements. The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreement was based, in part, on information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Meeting regarding the management of the Funds, information obtained at other meetings of the Trustees and/or based on their review of the materials provided by the Adviser, including the background and experience of the portfolio manager and others proposed to be involved in the management and administration of the Funds. In evaluating the terms of the Investment Management Agreement and the proposal for each Fund to adopt a unitary fee structure, the Trustees considered the risks being assumed by the Adviser under the unitary fee structure arrangement and the potential expense stability that may inure to the benefit of shareholders of each Fund. The Trustees also considered the terms and scope of services that the Adviser would provide under the Investment Management Agreement, including the Adviser’s agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Funds (excluding interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses).

 

The Trustees considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreement, that the Adviser would receive from serving as adviser to each Fund, including any benefits it may receive from serving as administrator to each Fund and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor to each Fund.

 

The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability of each of the Funds to the Adviser because the Funds had not yet commenced operations. In addition, because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees could not consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to each of the Funds by the Adviser, although they concluded that the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser were appropriate based on the Trustees’ knowledge of the Adviser and its personnel and the operations of the other series of the Trust.

 

The Independent Trustees were advised by and met in executive session with their independent counsel at the Meeting as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement.

 

In voting to approve the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreement are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees further concluded that the Investment Management Agreement is in the best interest of each Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:

 

Given its impressive performance in the high yield bond asset class, we are again profiling Market Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: ANGL). As of October 31, 2015, ANGL had, since inception, outperformed the average active manager1 by over 2.79%.

 

Fallen Angels Outperformed Active High Yield Bond Fund Managers

 

Although much of its relative performance in 2015 can be attributed to lower average energy allocations, it is ANGL’s approach of targeting fallen angels that has, since the Fund’s inception, resulted in a passive index-based strategy that has outperformed both the broad high yield bond market2 and active high yield bond managers.

 

ANGL Outperformed Active Managers Since Inception*
5/1/2012 –10/31/2015

 

 

 

Source: Morningstar. Data as of October 31, 2015.

 

* While the Fund commenced April 10, 2012, the Morningstar High Yield Bond Fund category universe only reports on a monthly basis, not daily, and therefore reflects May 1, 2012 as the earliest start date for peer group performance comparison.

 

This chart is for illustrative purposes only. Index performance is not illustrative of fund performance. Fund performance current to the most recent month end is available by visiting marketvectorsetfs.com. Current data may differ from data quoted. Past performance is no guarantee of future results; Market Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF commenced on April 10, 2012. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The results assume that no cash was added to or assets withdrawn from the Index. Index returns do not represent Fund returns. The Index does not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, nor does the Index lend securities, and no revenues from securities lending were added to the performance shown. The broad high yield bond market index and active high yield bond funds are represented by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index and Morningstar High Yield Bond Fund category average, respectively. As of October 31, 2015, the Morningstar High Yield Bond Fund category comprised only active mutual funds. The Morningstar High Yield Bond category average reflects an equal weighted average of the High Yield Bond category, and is a total return reflecting reinvestment of dividends and net of any fees reflected in the expense ratios and NAV. See footnotes below.

 

Fallen angels are high yield bonds that were originally investment grade issues, and make up approximately 12% of the broad high yield bond universe.3 As detailed in our last letter, a portfolio of fallen angels captures a value proposition derived from both the downgraded bonds’ potential to be oversold prior to entering their index, and their relatively higher average credit quality than bonds originally issued as high yield bonds.

 

This combination of factors has allowed fallen angels to outperform the broad high yield bond market over the long term. In ten of the last 11 years, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Fallen Angel High Yield Index (the price and yield performance of which, before fees and expenses, ANGL seeks to replicate as closely as possible),

outperformed the average active high yield manager.4 Given the compelling historical risk/return profile of fallen angels, we believe they continue to warrant serious consideration in investors’ high yield allocations.

Management Discussion (unaudited)

 

The suite of Market Vectors Income ETFs can most accurately be divided into three groups: equity income, international bonds, and corporate bonds. Over the six months ended October 31, 2015, except for Market Vectors ChinaAMC China Bond ETF, none of the funds posted positive returns.

Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. Performance information for the Funds reflects temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had the Funds incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. Investment return and value of the shares of the Funds will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted.

 

EQUITY INCOME

 

Business Development Companies (BDCs)

 

BDCs typically lend to, and invest in, small privately held companies. An improving economy and increased lending benefit the industry, as do active buy-out and IPO markets.1 Over the six-month period, BDCs posted a performance of -9.78%, having endured downward pricing pressure from investor concern about rising interest rates. At the end of the period under review, BDCs were trading at a discount of approximately 18% to book value. The industry ended the period offering a dividend yield of 9.87%, as measured by the Market Vectors US Business Development Index.2

 

Mortgage REITs

 

Mortgage REITs (mREITs) borrow at short-term rates and lend at long-term rates, potentially profiting from the spread. As such, they can be affected by yield curve movements. A potential U.S. Federal Reserve increase combined with a deteriorating market could result in a flattening yield curve, which would hurt mREITs. However, if rates rise and the markets strengthen, that could result in a rate increase being reflected across the yield spectrum or a steepening curve, which could bode well for mREITs. The six-month period was challenging for mREITs, as investor concern over a rate rise weighed on returns. The Fund posted a performance of -10.93%. However, over the same period, Mortgage REITs offered a dividend yield of 12.21%, as measured by the Market Vectors Global Mortgage REITs Index.3

Preferred Securities ex Financials

 

Preferred securities are considered hybrid securities because they have features of both debt and equity securities. Historically, a company’s preferred securities have offered higher yields than its common stock and senior debt. The Wells Fargo® Hybrid and Preferred Securities ex Financials Index excludes traditional financial companies which have been more volatile than other sectors historically. Over the six-month period ending October 31, 2015, REITs contributed the most positively to performance, while the energy and materials sectors detracted the most from performance. The industry ended the period offering a current yield of 6.71%, as measured by the Wells Fargo Hybrid and Preferred Securities ex Financials Index.4

 

INTERNATIONAL BOND

 

China Onshore Bonds

 

Once closed to foreign investors, China is home to the world’s largest bond market among the emerging economies. It is now a US$6.5 trillion market.5 While the market has increased in sheer size, a diverse array of bond categories spanning the yield curve has also evolved. Issuers include government, central and policy banks, state-owned enterprises and listed/non-listed corporations.

 

All sectors contributed positively to performance. Government bonds contributed the most to returns and bonds from issuers in the basic materials sector contributed the least.

 

Emerging Markets Local Currency Bonds

 

Emerging markets governments issue bonds denominated in their own currency. These include bonds from countries in Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

 

Over the six-month period ending October 31, 2015, three key themes helped move emerging markets debt markets: rate policy divergence between the U.S. and Europe/Japan and the expected path of rates in the U.S.; U.S. dollar strength; and the continued weakness of commodity prices. No doubt all of these factors were interrelated and weighed heavily on emerging markets borrowers. However, performance during the six-month period under review was, more than anything else, a story of U.S. dollar strength.

 

In terms of local currency, bonds denominated in Nigerian Naira contributed most to the Fund’s total return, while the bonds denominated in Brazilian Real were the greatest detractors from performance.

 

Emerging Markets Aggregate Bonds

 

The diverse universe of emerging markets bonds includes sovereign and corporate bonds primarily denominated in U.S. dollar, Euros, or local emerging market currencies.

 

Sovereign bonds denominated in hard currency contributed positively to performance. Sovereign bonds denominated in soft currency, together with corporates denominated in both hard and soft currency detracted from performance, with local currency sovereigns detracting the most from returns.

 

Emerging Markets High Yield Bonds

 

Overall, emerging markets corporate bonds continue to be a growing asset class. They offer investors exposure to corporations, quasi-sovereign, and agency issuers from emerging market countries.

 

While Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian bonds were the greatest contributors to the Fund’s total return, Brazilian bonds were by far the greatest detractors. On a sector level, financial and government bonds were the greatest contributors to total return and the energy sector detracted by far the most from performance.

 

International High Yield Bonds

 

Non-U.S. high yield bonds have continued to provide an opportunity to diversify not only geographically, but also in terms of currency, with bonds denominated, for example, in Euros, Sterling, and Canadian dollars.

 

The financial sector made the largest positive contribution to overall Fund performance, with the energy sector detracting most from performance. Only Sterling-denominated bonds contributed positively to Fund total return. And while both Euro- and Canadian dollar-denominated bonds detracted from Fund performance, U.S. dollar-denominated bonds performed far worse than bonds denominated in either of these two currencies.

CORPORATE BOND

 

Fallen Angel Bonds

 

Fallen angels warrant distinction for an embedded value proposition that is not common to all of high yield: fallen angels tend to have a higher rate of ascension to investment grade than original-issue high yield bonds. The default rate in this segment has averaged 3.61% historically, below the 4.54% average for U.S. bonds originally issued as high yield bonds.6

 

Banking and real estate were the two best performing sectors during the period under review, while basic industry and telecommunications sectors were the largest detractors from the Fund’s performance.

 

Arc Properties Operating Partnership 2.0% 02/06/17 bond (sold by end of period) and Springleaf Finance Corporation 6.9% 12/15/17 bond (1.5% of Fund net assets) were the top two performing bonds, while Cliffs Natural Resources 7.75% 03/31/20 bond (0.2% of Fund net assets) and ArcelorMittal 7.5% 03/01/41 bond (0.6% of Fund net assets) were the bottom two performing bonds.

 

Investment Grade Floating Rate Notes

 

Floating rate notes (FRNs) are investment grade-rated corporate debt issues with variable coupons that reset to current interest rates, based on a particular benchmark. The coupons on these securities fluctuate with that benchmark. The combination of low average years to maturity, typically in the 1-5 year range, and floating interest rates creates the potential for relatively low price fluctuations. In addition, as short-term interest rates rise, portfolio securities reset to higher yields.

 

The top two performing notes were Goldman Sachs FRN 03/22/16, rated A- (1.6% of Fund net assets) and Sinopec Group Overseas Development FRN 04/10/19, rated AA- (0.7% of Fund net assets). The bottom two performing notes were BBB-rated Glencore Funding FRN 01/15/19 (0.4% of Fund net assets) and Royal Bank of Canada FRN 03/06/20, rated AA- (1.9% of Fund net assets)7.

 

Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bonds

 

The Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF tracks an index that combines the more liquid portion of the high yield universe with short positions in 5-year U.S. Treasury notes. The Fund uses futures on such notes to help hedge against the risk of rising interest rates. Together, the long high yield bond and short comparable U.S. Treasury portfolios offer a combination of income generation and protection against rising interest rates.

 

The main drivers of returns in this strategy are interest rates and credit spreads. Rising interest rates and narrowing credit spreads positively contribute to performance, while declining interest rates and widening credit spreads detract from the Fund’s returns. Credit spreads over Treasuries widened 128 basis points and the 5-year U.S. Treasury declined eight basis points over the course of the year, negatively contributing to the Fund’s performance.

 

The top performing bonds were Caesars Entertainment Operating Co. 10% 12/15/18 (0.5% of Fund net assetsbefore being sold out of the Fund in the beginning of July) and Spectrum Brands 5.75% 07/15/25 (0.8% of Fund net assets).The bottom performing bonds were Avaya 10.5% 03/01/21 (0.3% of Fund net assets) and Linn Energy 8.625% 04/15/20 (0.2% of Fund net assets).

 

All Fund assets referenced are Total Net Assets as of October 31, 2015, unless otherwise stated.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund reflects temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment return and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 800.826.2333 or by visiting vaneck.com.

 

Gross Expense Ratio 0.69% / Net Expense Ratio 0.40%

 

Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2016. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.

 

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

 

The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

 

EXPLANATION OF EXPENSES

(unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This disclosure is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The disclosure is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period, May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015.

 

Actual Expenses

The first line in the table below provides information about account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as program fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2015 (unaudited)

 

Note 1—Fund Organization—Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was incorporated in Delaware as a statutory trust on March 15, 2001. The Trust operates as a series fund, and as of October 31, 2015, offers fifty-four investment portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of the Trust.

 

These financial statements relate only to the following investment portfolios: BDC Income ETF (“BDC Income”), ChinaAMC China Bond ETF (“ChinaAMC China Bond”), Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets Aggregate”), Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets High Yield”), Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (“Fallen Angel”), International High Yield Bond ETF (“International High Yield”), Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (“Investment Grade”), J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF (“J.P. Morgan EM”) (formerly Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF), Mortgage REIT Income ETF (“Mortgage REIT”), Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (“Preferred Securities”) and Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (“Treasury-Hedged”), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”. Each Fund’s investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of its index. The Funds (except BDC Income, Mortgage REIT and Preferred Securities) expect to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve their objectives. Sampling means that Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) uses quantitative analysis to select bonds and other securities that represent a sample of securities in the index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. The number of securities in each Fund will be based upon several factors, including asset size of the Fund. The Adviser generally expects each Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in the index, but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”) is the sub-adviser to ChinaAMC China Bond. ChinaAMC China Bond seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in bonds issued in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) via the Sub-Adviser. BDC Income, Mortgage REIT and Preferred Securities seek to achieve their investment objective through a portfolio of securities in substantially the same weighting as their index.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

 

A.
 
 
Security Valuation—The Funds value their investments in securities and other assets and liabilities carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Securities traded on national exchanges or traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last sales price as reported at the close of each business day. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Over-the-counter securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System and listed securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (described below). Debt securities are valued on the basis of evaluated prices furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date and/or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Short-term obligations with more than sixty days remaining to maturity are valued at market value. Short-term obligations with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee of the Adviser appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Pricing Committee provides oversight of the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value. The Pricing Committee convenes regularly to review the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available. The Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approaches utilized to determine fair value, including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing and disposition analysis.
   
  Certain factors such as economic conditions, political events, market trends, the nature of and duration of any restrictions on disposition, trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers and other security specific information are used to determine the fair value of these securities. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these securities may be classified either as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The price which the Funds may realize upon sale of an investment may differ materially from the value presented in the Schedules of Investments.
   
  The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis which includes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy assume the financial instruments were transferred at the beginning of the reporting period. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
   
  Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
   
  Level 2 — Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
   
  Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
   
  A summary of the inputs, the levels used to value the Funds’ investments, and transfers between levels are located in the Schedules of Investments. Additionally, tables that reconcile the valuation of the Funds’ Level 3 investments and that present additional information about valuation methodologies and unobservable inputs, if applicable, are located in the Schedules of Investments.
   
B. Federal Income Taxes—It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
86

 

 

C. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders—Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least monthly by each Fund (except BDC Income and Mortgage REIT which are declared and paid quarterly). Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and paid annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.
   
D. Currency Translation—Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under foreign currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing prices of such currencies each business day. Purchases and sales of investments are translated at the exchange rates prevailing when such investments are acquired or sold. Foreign denominated income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates prevailing when accrued. The portion of realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that result from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed in the financial statements. Recognized gains or losses attributable to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency denominated assets, other than investments, and liabilities are recorded as net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and foreign denominated assets and liabilities in the Statements of Operations. The total net realized gains and losses from fluctuations on foreign exchange rates on investments and other foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 5 – Income Taxes.
   
E. Restricted Securities—The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
   
F. Repurchase Agreements—The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Adviser, to generate income from their excess cash balances and to invest securities lending cash collateral. A repurchase agreement is an agreement under which a Fund acquires securities from a seller, subject to resale to the seller at an agreed upon price and date. A Fund, through its custodian/securities lending agent, takes possession of securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, such securities must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the Funds will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Funds maintain their right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller. Repurchase agreements held as of October 31, 2015 are reflected in the Schedules of Investments.
   
G. Use of Derivative Instruments—The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivative instruments also involves the risk of loss if the investment adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instruments.
     
    Futures Contracts—The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure or to hedge against interest rate movement. Using futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate and equity risk as well as the risks that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
     
    Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or government securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin”. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, generally are made or received by the Fund each

    day depending on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts, except that in the case of certain futures contracts payments may be made or received at settlement. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures. Treasury-Hedged held futures contracts for six months during the period ended October 31, 2015 of which the average market value was $5,194,766. Futures contracts held by Treasury-Hedged at October 31, 2015 are reflected in the Schedule of Investments.
     
    At October 31, 2015, Treasury-Hedged held the following derivatives instruments:

 

    Liability Derivatives
Interest Rate Risk
 
  Futures contracts1 $6,649

 For Treasury-Hedged, the impact of transactions in derivative instruments during the period ended October 31, 2015, was as follows:

 

    Interest Rate Risk  
  Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation):    
  Futures contracts2 $42,301  
  Realized gain (loss)    
  Futures contracts3 (52,194)  

 

 

 

  2 Statements of Operations location: Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts
  3 Statements of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts

 

H. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities—In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting or other similar agreements. Generally, the right of setoff in those agreements allows the Funds to set off any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. The Funds may pledge or receive cash and/or securities as collateral for derivative instruments, securities lending and repurchase agreements. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds present securities lending and repurchase agreement assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Collateral held at October 31, 2015 is presented in the Schedules of Investments. Refer to related disclosure in Note 2F (Repurchase Agreements) and Note 9 (Securities Lending).
   
  The table below presents both gross and net information about the derivative instruments, eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, subject to master netting or other similar agreements, as well as financial collateral received or pledged (including cash collateral and margin) as of October 31, 2015. Collateral is disclosed up to 100% of the net amount of unrealized gain/loss or market value of the respective financial instruments. In general, collateral received or pledged exceeds the net amount of the unrealized gain/loss or market value of financial instruments. Refer to the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities for collateral received or pledged as of October 31, 2015.

I. Other—Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Transactions in certain securities may take longer than the customary settlement cycle to be completed. The counterparty is required to collateralize such trades with cash in excess of the market value of the transaction, which is held at the custodian and marked to market daily. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a
88

 

 

  reduction of cost of investments and/or an increase in realized gain. Such amounts are based upon estimates if actual amounts are not available, and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from estimated amounts. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned. Interest income is generally not earned on debt securities in default or upon determination that the income is not realizable.
   
  In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Adviser believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

Note 3—Investment Management and Other Agreements—The Adviser is the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed, at least until September 1, 2016, for the Funds to voluntarily waive or limit its fees and to assume as its own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the Funds so that each Fund’s total annual operating expenses does not exceed the expense limitation (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) listed in the table below.

 

The current expense limitation, management fee rate and the amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser for the period ended October 31, 2015 are as follows:

 

   Expense   Management  Waiver of  Expenses Assumed
Fund  Limitation   Fee Rate  Management Fees  by the Adviser
BDC Income   0.40%    0.40%   $   48,382   $

In addition, Van Eck Securities Corporation, an affiliate of the Adviser, acts as the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”). Certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are officers, directors or stockholders of the Adviser and Distributor.

 

Note 4—Investments—For the period ended October 31, 2015, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments other than U.S. government obligations and short-term obligations (excluding in-kind transactions described in Note 6) were as follows:

Treasury-Hedged   399,620                 

 

*Includes short-term capital gains

 

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the fiscal year.

 

Qualified late-year losses comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31, 2014, and certain late-year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31, 2014 and specified losses incurred after October 31, 2014. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Funds next taxable year. For the year ended April 30, 2015, the Funds intend to defer to May 1, 2015 for federal tax purposes qualified late-year losses as follows:

 

   Late-Year    
   Ordinary  Post-October
Fund  Losses  Capital Losses
Emerging Markets Aggregate  $63,880   $

At April 30, 2015, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, as follows:

 

   No Expiration  No Expiration
   Short-Term  Long-Term

BDC Income  $652,908   $707,435 
ChinaAMC China Bond   24,635

Emerging Markets High Yield   6,275,446    9,030,389 
International High Yield   391,189    266,187 
J.P. Morgan EM   5,472,114    8,324,281

Preferred Securities   2,920,108    2,588,496 
Treasury-Hedged   101,562    125,557 

 

During the year ended April 30, 2015, Investment Grade utilized $1,180 of prior year capital loss carryforwards.

 

Realized gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments and other foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities result in permanent book to tax differences which may affect the tax character of distributions and undistributed net investment income at the end of the Funds’ fiscal year and may result in a tax return of capital.

 

For the period May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015, the net realized losses from foreign currency translations were as follows:

 

ChinaAMC China Bond  $(211,957)
Emerging Markets Aggregate   (371,602)
J.P. Morgan EM   (62,381,428)
International High Yield   (1,610,516)

 

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained assuming examination by applicable tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on return filings for all open tax years. The Funds do not have exposure for additional years that might still be open in certain foreign jurisdictions. Therefore, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

 

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended October 31, 2015, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

There are still some uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing taxation of income and gains from investments in the PRC due to the lack of formal guidance from the PRC’s tax authorities that could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the ChinaAMC China Bond. China generally imposes withholding income tax (“WHT”) at a rate of 10% (which may be reduced by the double taxation agreement / arrangement) on dividends and interest derived by nonresidents, including Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“QFII”) and Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“RQFIIs”), from issuers resident in China. Under the PRC Corporate Income Tax regime, China also imposes WHT at a rate of 10% (subject to treaty relief) on PRC-sourced capital gains derived by nonresident enterprises, provided that the nonresident enterprises (i) do not have places of business, establishments or permanent establishments in the PRC; and (ii) are not PRC tax resident enterprises. ChinaAMC China Bond currently considers capital gains derived from Chinese bonds to be non PRC-sourced and not subject to WHT.

 

PRC rules for taxation of RQFIIs (and QFIIs) are evolving and certain of the tax regulations to be issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation and/or PRC Ministry of Finance to clarify the subject matter may apply retrospectively, even if such rules are adverse to the Fund and its shareholders.

 

If the PRC tax authorities were to issue differing formal guidance or tax rules regarding the taxation of capital gains from Chinese Bonds to RQFIIs, such as the Sub-Adviser, and/or begin collecting WHT on gains from such investments, ChinaAMC China Bond could be subject to WHT liability. The impact of any such tax liability on the Fund’s return could be substantial. The Fund may also be liable to the Sub-Adviser for any tax that is imposed on the Sub-Adviser by the PRC with respect to the Fund’s investments.

Note 6—Capital Share Transactions—As of October 31, 2015, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units, or multiples thereof, as follows:

 

Fund Creation Units
BDC Income 50,000
ChinaAMC China Bond 100,000
Emerging Markets Aggregate 50,000
Emerging Markets High Yield 200,000
Fallen Angel 50,000
International High Yield 200,000
Investment Grade 100,000
J.P. Morgan EM 200,000
Mortgage REIT 50,000
Preferred Securities 50,000
Treasury-Hedged 100,000

 

The consideration for the purchase or redemption of Creation Units of the Funds generally consists of the in-kind contribution or distribution of securities constituting the Funds’ underlying index plus a small amount of cash. For the period ended October 31, 2015, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:

 

   In-Kind  In-Kind
Fund  Contributions  Redemptions
BDC Income  $19,457,781   $3,682,268 
ChinaAMC China Bond        
Emerging Markets Aggregate       1,890,601 
Emerging Markets High Yield   29,539,838    59,913,565 
Fallen Angel   1,176,453     
International High Yield   13,952,680    27,269,093

Preferred Securities   15,153,223    26,481,581 
Treasury-Hedged       2,208,144 

 

The in-kind contributions and in-kind redemptions in this table represent the accumulation of each Fund’s daily net shareholder transactions including rebalancing activity, while the Statements of Changes in Net Assets reflect shareholder transactions including any cash component of the transactions.

 

Note 7—Concentration and Other Risks—Each Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers. Investments in the Funds involve risks similar to those of investing in any bond fund, such as market fluctuations caused by factors such as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices.

 

The Funds (except ChinaAMC China Bond, Investment Grade, Mortgage REIT and Preferred Securities) may directly or indirectly invest in non-investment grade securities, often referred to as “junk bonds.” Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. These high yield securities may involve greater risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. government bonds and other high quality fixed-income securities. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high yield securities may be less liquid due to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market and because of a decline in the value of such securities. These Funds may not be able to sell bonds at desired prices and large purchases or sales of certain high-yield bond issues may cause substantial fluctuations in share price, yield and total return.

 

BDC Income invests in business development companies which generally invest in less mature private companies or thinly traded U.S. public companies which involve greater risk than well-established publicly-traded companies.

ChinaAMC China Bond, Emerging Markets Aggregate, Emerging Markets High Yield, Fallen Angel, International High Yield, Investment Grade and J.P. Morgan EM invest in foreign securities. Investments in foreign securities may involve a greater degree of risk than investments in domestic securities due to political, economic or social instability. Foreign investments may also be subject to foreign taxes and settlement delays. Since the Funds may have significant investments in foreign debt securities, they may be subject to greater credit and interest risks and greater currency fluctuations than portfolios with significant investments in domestic debt securities.

 

Mortgage REIT invests directly in mortgage real estate investment trusts (“mortgage REITs”) and is exposed to the risks specific to the real estate market as well as the risks that relate specifically to the way in which mortgage REITs are organized and operated. Mortgage REITs receive principal and interest payments from the owners of the mortgaged properties. Accordingly, mortgage REITs are subject to the credit risk of the borrowers to whom they extend credit. To the extent that a mortgage REIT invests in mortgage-backed securities, it may be subject to default risk or interest rate risk.

 

Mortgage REIT may invest in mortgage REITs that may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value.

 

Preferred Securities invests in preferred securities which are essentially contractual obligations that declare distributions but permit the issuer to defer or suspend distributions. This may require the Fund to account for the distribution that has been deferred or suspended for tax purposes, even though it may not have received this income. Preferred securities are also subject to credit risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely distributions of dividends. In addition, preferred securities are subject to interest rate risk. Preferred securities interest rates may move in an inverse direction to that of general interest rates.

 

Preferred Securities may invest directly in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and is exposed to the risk of owning real estate directly, as well as to risks that relate specifically to the way in which REITs are organized and operated. REITs generally invest directly in real estate, in mortgages or in some combination of the two. The Fund indirectly bears management expenses along with the direct expenses of the Fund. Individual REITs may own a limited number of properties and may concentrate in a particular region or property type. REITs may also be subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation.

 

Treasury-Hedged invests directly in futures contracts and may invest in securities sold short which are designed to hedge against the price sensitivity of the below investment grade corporate bonds. A risk of hedging is the imperfect correlation between price movement of the securities sold short and the price movement of the securities sold short and the price movement of the Fund’s investments.

 

Certain Funds may invest directly in the Russian local market. As a result of recent events involving Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the United States and the European Union have imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies. These sanctions do not currently impact any of the Funds. Additional economic sanctions may be imposed or other actions may be taken that may adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Russian-related issuers’ held, if any, by the Funds.

 

Should the Chinese government impose restrictions on the ability of ChinaAMC China Bond to repatriate funds associated with direct investment in bonds issued in the PRC, the Fund may be unable to satisfy distribution requirements applicable to regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and the Fund may therefore be subject to Fund-level U.S. federal taxes.

 

At October 31, 2015, the Adviser owned approximately 10%, 57% and 3% of ChinaAMC China Bond, Emerging Markets Aggregate and Fallen Angel, respectively.

 

Note 8—Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan—The Trust has a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for Trustees under which the Trustees can elect to defer receipt of their trustee fees until retirement, disability or termination from the Board of Trustees. The fees otherwise payable to the participating Trustees are deemed invested in shares of the Funds as directed by the Trustees.

 

For each Fund, the expense for the Plan is included in “Trustees’ fees and expenses” in the Statements of Operations. The liability for the Plan is shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Note 9—Securities Lending—To generate additional income, each of the Funds may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the securities lending agent and also the Funds’ custodian. Each Fund may lend up to 33% of its investments requiring that the loan be continuously collateralized by

cash, U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities, shares of an investment trust or mutual fund, or any combination of cash and such securities at all times equal to at least 102% (105% for foreign securities) of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Funds will continue to receive any dividends, interest or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned while receiving a fee from the borrower and/or earning interest on the investment of the cash collateral. Such fees and interest are shared with the securities lending agent under the terms of the securities lending agreement. The Funds may pay reasonable finders’, administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan of its securities. Securities lending income is disclosed as such in the Statements of Operations. The collateral for securities loaned is recognized in the Schedules of Investments and the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The cash collateral is maintained on the Funds’ behalf by the lending agent and is invested in repurchase agreements collateralized by obligations of the U.S. Treasury and/or Government Agencies. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the securities loaned. The Funds bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2015 are presented on a gross basis in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Effective May 1, 2015, the Funds adopted new accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, which requires expanded disclosures related to financial assets pledged in secured financing transactions, such as securities lending, and the related contractual maturity terms of these secured transactions. Accordingly, the following table presents repurchase agreements held as collateral by type of security on loans pledged as of October 31, 2015.

Note 10—Bank Line of Credit—The Funds may participate in a $200 million committed credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Funds at the request of the shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds have agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the unused but available balance.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on June 9, 2015 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees that are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the continuation of (i) the investment management agreements between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to the Market Vectors Asia ex-Japan Aggregate Bond ETF, BDC Income ETF, Business Development Company/Specialty Finance ETF, ChinaAMC China Bond ETF (the “China Fund”), Defaulted & Distressed Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Corporate Bond ETF, Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF, European High Yield Bond ETF, European Sovereign Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, Fixed Income I ETF, Fixed Income II ETF, Global Fallen Angel Bond ETF, Global High Yield Bond ETF, Global High Yield US$ Bond ETF, Greater China Corporate Bond ETF, Greater China High Yield Bond ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, International US$ High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, Japanese Bond ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, MV Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF, Non-Agency RMBS ETF, Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF, Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF and USD Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF (collectively, the “Funds”) and (ii) a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with respect to the China Fund. The Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Agreements.”

 

The Board’s approval of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all of the information available to the Trustees and was not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered those factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors.

 

In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 15, 2015. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) and Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent third party data provider, had provided to them in advance. The information provided to the Trustees included, among other things, information about the performance (for those Funds which had begun operations) and expenses of the Funds and the Funds’ peer funds (other index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)), information about the advisory services provided to the Funds and the personnel providing those services, and the profitability and other benefits enjoyed by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds. In reviewing performance information for the Funds against their peer groups, the Trustees considered that each Fund generally invests in a different group of issuers than the funds in its designated peer group. They also considered the fact that the China Fund had only recently commenced operations and therefore had a limited operational history that could be used for comparative purposes, since the expense information prepared by Lipper was based on estimated amounts for the China Fund, tracking error measurements were not available and the performance comparisons provided by Lipper covered approximately a three-month period (November 10, 2014 (the date operations commenced for the China Fund) through February 28, 2015). In addition, as noted below, the Trustees reviewed certain performance information for each Fund that was not provided by Lipper. For these and other reasons, the Trustees noted that the peer group information did not necessarily provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds.

 

The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Agreements was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) at the Renewal Meeting and with the Adviser at the May 15, 2015 meeting regarding the management of the Funds and information obtained at other meetings of the Trustees and/or based on their review of the materials provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund). The Trustees also considered the terms of, and scope of services that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) provide under, the Agreements, including, the Adviser’s commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of each of the Funds to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each of the Funds from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of time. With respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees took into account the unique legal and operational aspects of the China Fund and the Sub-Adviser’s experience with respect to Renminbi Qualified Institutional Investors Scheme funds. The Trustees also noted that the Sub-Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Asset Management Co., China’s largest asset management company measured by fund assets under management.

 

The Trustees concluded that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) have the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Funds’ portfolios. In evaluating the performance over relevant periods of each of the

96

 

 

Funds that had commenced operations prior to the date of the Renewal Meeting (the “Operating Funds”), the Trustees reviewed various performance metrics but relied principally on a comparison of the “gross” performance of each Operating Fund (i.e., measured without regard to the impact of fees and expenses) to the performance of its benchmark index, in each case incorporating any fair value adjustments to the underlying securities. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Operating Funds was satisfactory.

 

The Trustees also considered information relating to the financial condition of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) and the current status, as they understood it, of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s (with respect to the China Fund) compliance environment.

 

As noted above, the Trustees were also provided various data from Lipper comparing the Operating Funds’ expenses and performance to that of other ETFs. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that each Operating Fund had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) below or equal to the average and/or median of its respective peer group of funds, except for each of Market Vectors BDC Income ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF and Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF which had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) greater than the average and median of its peer group of funds. With respect to these Operating Funds, the Trustees reviewed the amount by which these Operating Funds’ total expense ratios (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) exceeded the average and median of their respective peer groups. The Trustees concluded, in light of this information and the other information available to them, that the fees paid by the Operating Funds were reasonable in light of the performance of the Operating Funds and the quality of services received.

 

The Trustees also considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreements, received by the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Funds, including any benefits it may receive from serving as administrator to the Funds and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor for the Funds.

 

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser about the overall profitability of the Adviser and its profitability or loss in respect of each Operating Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size, expense ratio and expense cap and noted that the Investment Management Agreements do not include breakpoints in the advisory fee rates as asset levels in a Fund increase. The Trustees considered the volatility of the asset classes (e.g., emerging markets) in which certain of the Operating Funds invest, potential variability in net assets of these Funds and the sustainability of any potential economies of scale which may exist. The Trustees also evaluated the extent to which management fees for the Operating Funds effectively incorporate the benefits of economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the Adviser has capped expenses on each Operating Fund since its inception. Based on the foregoing and the other information available to them, the Trustees determined that the advisory fee rate for each Fund and the sub-advisory fee rate for the China Fund are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the current asset size of each Fund and the other factors discussed above and currently reflects an appropriate sharing of any economies of scale which may exist with shareholders. The Trustees also determined that the profits earned by the Adviser with respect to the Funds that were profitable to the Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services received by such Funds. Due to the limited operational history and the relatively small size of the China Fund during the period, the Sub-Adviser did not provide the Trustees with profitability information and, therefore, the Trustees did not consider such information.

 

The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability to the Adviser of Market Vectors Asia ex-Japan Aggregate Bond ETF, Business Development Company/Specialty Finance ETF, Defaulted & Distressed Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Corporate Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF, European High Yield Bond ETF, European Sovereign Bond ETF, Fixed Income I ETF, Fixed Income II ETF, Global Fallen Angel Bond ETF, Global High Yield Bond ETF, Global High Yield US$ Bond ETF, Greater China Corporate Bond ETF, Greater China High Yield Bond ETF, International US$ High Yield Bond ETF, Japanese Bond ETF, MV Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF, Non-Agency RMBS ETF and USD Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF because the Funds had not yet commenced operations at the time of the Renewal Meeting. The Trustees could not consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to each of these Funds although they concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser were appropriate based on the Trustees’ knowledge of the Adviser and its personnel and the operations of the other series of the Trust.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

 

The Independent Trustees were advised by and met in executive session with their independent counsel at the Renewal Meeting and at their May 15, 2015 meeting as part of their consideration of the Agreements.

 

In voting to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each Agreement are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees further concluded that each Agreement is in the best interest of each Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.
