Dear Shareholder:

 

On April 30 of this year, assets under management in the Market Vectors Municipal Income ETFs were at a record level of $3.2 billion. In this letter, we discuss one of these funds: Market Vectors Intermediate Municipal Index ETF (ITM).

 

Intermediates: the sweet spot on the municipal yield curve

 

One of the attractions of ITM, in particular, lies in the position of intermediates on the current municipal (muni) yield curve. Situated between the curve’s short and long ends, ITM offers both advantages and possibilities, in terms of potential yield, that is not available to either short- or long-dated municipal bonds. ITM’s underlying index, Barclays AMT-Free Intermediate Continuous Municipal Index (LMT2TR), focuses on bonds with six to 17 year maturities, potentially capturing a significant portion of the yield available in the entire yield curve.

 

In a normal interest rate environment, when short-term interest rates are lower than long-term rates, the muni yield curve has tended to be steepest in maturities below 17 years. This has typically provided an embedded boost to performance, derived from what is known as the roll down effect. Roll down refers to the price appreciation a bond experiences as it “rolls down” the curve towards final maturity. For example, as a bond goes from nine to eight years until maturity, its yield decreases, while its price increases. This effect is particularly attractive where the yield differential between maturities is greatest (the curve is steepest).

 

Long-term munis (those above 17 years) have often provided little extra yield in exchange for their generally longer duration or higher sensitivity to rising interest rates. Short-term munis (those with less than six years until maturity) have been generally less interest rate sensitive. However, typically, in terms of yield, little reward has been available in this part of the curve.

Management Discussion (unaudited)

 

During the 12-month period ended April 30, 2015, the municipal bond market (munis) continued to experience inflows. Building on their positive performances in the six months to October 31, 2014, all the Market Vectors Municipal Income ETFs performed positively for the full 12-month period under review. The performances of Long Municipal Index ETF, High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, and CEF Municipal Income ETF were particularly notable.

 

 

 

Source: Van Eck Global. 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 munis, the state general obligation and transportation sectors contributed most to the total return of the Short Municipal Index ETF. All other sectors, except for pre-refunded, 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 New Jersey and Puerto Rico were the only two detractors from performance.

 

Munis from California contributed by far the most to the total return of the Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF. Grouped by state/U.S. territory, munis from New Jersey detracted the most from performance, but even then only minimally.

 

Intermediate Municipal Index ETF

 

Munis 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 Puerto Rico detracted the most from performance, but even then, nominally. 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. Three sectors detracted from performance, and only minimally: pre-refunded, local general, and resource recovery.

 

Long Municipal Index ETF

 

All sectors, except taxable, contributed positively to the Fund’s total return, with the hospital and transportation sectors being the greatest contributors. Municipal bonds issued by New York contributed by far the most to performance. Grouped by state/U.S. territory, municipal bonds issued by three states were detractors from performance: Maryland, Puerto Rico, and Utah.

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 performance of the Short High-Yield Municipal ETF, the electric sector was the one detractor from performance. Every single state/U.S. territory represented in the Fund contributed positively to the Fund’s total return, except for six: Arkansas, Georgia, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, and Rhode Island. Munis from Texas and New Jersey contributed the most to performance.

 

In the High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, every sector except two – electric and pre-refunded – contributed to overall performance. While the hospital and IDR/PCR sectors contributed by far the most to total return, the housing and resource recovery sectors contributed the least. Munis from New York made the greatest contribution to performance while those from Nevada and Puerto Rico detracted most from performance.

 

CEF Municipal Income ETF

 

Over the 12 months under review, the average discount at which municipal closed-end funds (CEFs) traded first widened and then narrowed back nearly to its value at the beginning of the period. From a starting point of approximately -5.9% on May 1, 2014, the average discount had, by April 30, 2015, the end of the period, only widened to approximately -6.0%. Since many municipal CEFs use leverage, and short-term rates remained low during the period under review, the cost of leverage, remained relatively low. This was beneficial to the municipal closed-end fund market and the Fund returned a commendable 10.02% for the 12-month period.

      Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)
       
  This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund at NAV and at Share Price over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is compared with the Fund’s benchmark.    

 

Total Return  Share Price1  NAV  CEFMXTR2
One Year  10.55%  10.02%  10.49%

Life* (cumulative)  32.05%  31.24%  33.27%
* since 7/12/11         

 

Commencement date for the Market Vectors CEF Municipal Income ETF was 7/12/11.

 

1The 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 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting marketvectorsetfs.com.

 

Gross Expense Ratio 0.57% / 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, 2015. 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 Long Municipal Index ETF was 1/2/08.

 

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 (1/2/08) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (1/7/08), 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 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting marketvectorsetfs.com.

 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses 0.24%

 

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.

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 entire period, November 1, 2014 to April 30, 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 the 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 your 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 fees on purchase payments. 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

April 30, 2015

 

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 April 30, 2015, offers fifty five 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:

 

Fund Commencement

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  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 streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree
110

 

 

  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 year ended April 30, 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, 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 year ended April 30, 2015 are as follows:

 

    Expense   Management   Waiver of   Expenses Assumed
Fund   Limitation   Fee Rate   Management Fees   by the Adviser
CEF Municipal*   0.40%   0.40%   $66,270   $           —

 

* The Adviser has agreed, at least until September 1, 2015, 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.

 

Fund Unitary Management
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 open tax years (tax years ended 2012 - 2014), or expected to be taken in the Funds’ current tax year. 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 year ended April 30, 2015, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Note 6—Capital Share Transactions—As of April 30, 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 year ended April 30, 2015, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:

 

Fund  In-Kind
Contributions
  In-Kind
Redemptions
       
CEF Municipal  $18,390,899   $4,646,808         
High-Yield   49,394,959    123,940,333         
Intermediate   163,369,400    162,810,941         
Long   16,497,359    16,303,078         
Pre-Refunded   7,344,321    19,627,722         
Short High-Yield   9,136,563    9,250,095         
Short   79,648,033    79,563,393

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

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 gross 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 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.

 

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 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—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. Interest is charged to the Funds at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the year ended April 30, 2015, the following Funds borrowed under this facility:

 

Fund  Days
Outstanding
  Average Daily
Loan Balance
  Average
Interest Rate
CEF Municipal   1   $304,012    1.52%
High-Yield   11    1,814,378    1.50 
Intermediate   8    1,640,736    1.50 
Pre-Refunded   56    147,958    1.50 
Short High-Yield   48    366,562    1.50 
Short   22    519,915    1.51 

 

As of April 30, 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 year ended April 30, 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 April 30, 2015:

 

Fund  Ex-Date  Record Date  Payable Date  Per Share

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Market Vectors ETF Trust

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of CEF Municipal Income ETF, High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, Intermediate Municipal Index ETF, Long Municipal Index ETF, Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF, Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF and Short Municipal Index ETF (seven of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2015, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CEF Municipal Income ETF, High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, Intermediate Municipal Index ETF, Long Municipal Index ETF, Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF, Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF and Short Municipal Index ETF (seven of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) at April 30, 2015, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

MARKET VECTORS INCOME ETFs

(unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

In April 2012, we launched the Market Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (ANGL) in our suite of Market Vectors ETFs. “Fallen angel” bonds are high-yield corporate bonds that were originally investment grade, but have been downgraded to non-investment grade issues.

 

First of its Kind

 

ANGL was the first U.S.-listed ETF of its kind. It seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch US Fallen Angel High Yield Index.1

 

Proven Index Track Record

 

High-yield bonds have become known as a distinct asset class warranting a strategic allocation in many fixed income portfolios. They are noted for a history of equity-like returns and less sensitivity to rising interest rates than investment grade bonds. Fallen angel bonds warrant further distinction for an embedded value proposition that is not common to all of high yield. Fallen angels make up about 13% of the broad U.S. high-yield bond market.2

 

An Embedded Value Proposition

 

For eight out of the last 11 calendar years, fallen angel high-yield bonds3 have outperformed the broad U.S. high-yield bond market,4 including original issue high-yield bonds. Year-to-date as of April 30, 2015, fallen angels have outperformed the broad high-yield bond market by 119 basis points: 4.96% vs. 3.77%.

 

Relative to original issue high-yield bonds, fallen angel bond outperformance can be attributed to a variety of historical trends; including valuation after forced selling by investment grade investors, franchise or brand value generally associated with the larger issuers, and a higher propensity to seek to and eventually regain investment grade status.

 

The chart below helps illustrate how forced selling by investment grade investors has historically impacted the average fallen angel bond. Rating actions tend to be anticipated by the market and significant price deterioration often has occurred prior to bonds entering the BofA Merrill Lynch US Fallen Angel High Yield Index, which rebalances on a monthly basis. Approximately one month after entering the index, on average, fallen angels tend to begin retracing some of their losses from being oversold by institutions forced to sell in order to maintain their investment grade mandates.

 

Embedded Value Proposition: Forced Selling Prior to Downgrade5

 

 

 

Source: FactSet. Data as of March 31, 2015.

 

Data is based on bond constituents of the BofA Merrill Lynch US Fallen Angel High Yield Index that were downgraded to high yield and entered the index in 2004 or later. It illustrates the average fallen angel bond cumulative return from six months before to six months after entering the BofA Merrill US Fallen Angel High Yield Index.

 

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. Historical information is not indicative of future results. Current data may differ from data quoted. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

While currently yielding less than original issue high-yield bonds, mainly as a result of a relatively higher rated credit composition, a portfolio of fallen angels presents an interesting value proposition given the trends listed above.

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 12 months ended April 30, 2015, the performances of individual funds were mostly positive, with only four funds posting negative returns. All three equity income ETFs posted positive total returns, two out of the three ETFs in the corporate bond group posted positive returns, and one out of the four ETFs in the international bond group posted positive total returns, as shown below.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. 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

 

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 In the first six months of the period under review, having been hit hard in September by Fed-induced market volatility, BDCs2 continued to fall through the middle of October, but recovered somewhat to end the month not far from where they began. After a further somewhat choppy six months, BDCs ended the 12-month period on April 30, 2015 posting a positive performance of 1.28% and yield of 8.26%.

 

Mortgage REITs

 

With the Federal Reserve Bank tapering its bond-buying program and eventually ending it completely at the end of October 2014, the first six months of the period under review was an unsettled time for mortgage REITS. The second six months were also uneven, but they ended the 12-month period on April 30, 2015, as interest rates declined, recording a positive performance of 6.23% and yield of 11.04%.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, the Fund’s underlying index, excludes traditional financial companies which have been more volatile than other sectors historically. Over the 12 month period, all economic sectors except one—materials—contributed positive returns with performance driven primarily by REITs. The Fund ended the 12 month period on April 30, 2015 posting a positive performance of 6.08% and a yield of 7.07%.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 has grown at a compound average annual rate of 23% over the past ten years.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.

 

The Fund traded for less than the full 12 month period under review. Its positive sector returns were in line with their respective weightings in the Fund. The credit sector contributed the most to returns, while the policy bank sector contributed the least. The contribution from government sector sat between the two.

 

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.

 

In terms of local currency, bonds denominated in Thai Baht and Philippine Peso contributed most to the Fund’s total return, while the bonds denominated in Brazilian Real and Turkish Lira 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. Emerging market bonds continue to evolve and gain further acceptance as an asset class.

 

Both sovereign and corporate bonds denominated in hard currency contributed positively to performance, with corporates performing better than sovereigns; local currency corporates and sovereigns both 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 fast growing asset class. They offer investors exposure to corporations, quasi-sovereign, and agency issuers from emerging market countries.

 

While Chinese and Russian bonds were the greatest contributors to the Fund’s total return, Venezuelan bonds were by far the greatest detractors. On a sector level, financial bonds were the greatest contributors to total return and, among all the other sectors, only energy, industrial and government sector bonds detracted from performance, with energy detracting by far the most.

 

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. Developed markets account for approximately 63% of global ex-U.S. high-yield corporate bond market value, and emerging markets represent about 37%.

4

 

 

Technology was the single sector to contribute positively to overall Fund performance, with the industrial sector detracting most from performance. Only U.S. dollar-denominated bonds contributed positively to Fund total return. While both Sterling- and Canadian dollar-denominated bonds detracted from Fund performance, Euro-denominated bonds performed far worse than bonds in either of these two currencies.

 

CORPORATE BOND

 

Fallen Angel Bonds

 

“Fallen angels” are high-yield corporate bonds that were once investment grade, but have been downgraded to non-investment grade. They 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 original issue U.S. high yield.6

 

Telecommunications and banking were the two best performing sectors during the period under review. While all sectors performed positively, the automotive and leisure sectors contributed least to the Fund’s total return.

 

El Paso Energy 7.75% 01/15/32 bond (sold by Fund at the end of November 2014), which was a rising star that ascended back to investment grade credit status in November 2014, and Embarq 7.995% 06/01/36 bond (1.7% of Fund net assets) were the top two performing bonds, while Cliffs Natural Resources 4.875% 04/01/21 bond and Cliffs Natural Resources 6.25% 10/01/40 bond (both sold by Fund at the end of March 2015) 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 AA- rated General Electric Capital Corp. FRN 05/05/26 (0.9% of Fund net assets) and AA- rated General Electric Capital Corp. FRN 03/15/23 (1.0% of Fund net assets). The bottom two performing notes were from Petrobras Global Finance BV: FRN 01/15/19 and FRN 03/17/17 (both sold by Fund at the end of March 2015).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 86 basis points and the 5-year U.S. Treasury declined 24 basis points over the course of the year, negatively contributing to the Fund.

 

The top performing bonds were Ally Financial Inc. 8.00% 11/01/31 bond (2.4% of Fund net assets) and HCA, Inc. 6.5% 02/15/20 (3.2% of Fund net assets). The bottom performing bonds were Caesars Entertainment Operating Co., Inc. 11.25% 06/01/17 (0.4% of Fund net assets) and Sandridge Energy, Inc. 8.125% 10/15/22 (0.2% of Fund net assets).

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 (2/11/13) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (2/12/13), 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 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting marketvectorsetfs.com.

 

Gross Expense Ratio 0.58% / Net Expense Ratio 0.41%

 

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, 2015. 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.

Effective December 10, 2013, Market Vectors® LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (BONO) changed its name to Market Vectors Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF (EMAG). The Fund’s investment objective changed to seeking to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vectors® EM Aggregate Bond Index (MVEMAG), from seeking to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch Broad Latin America Bond Index (LATS). Performance data prior to December 9, 2013, reflects that of BONO and LATS. Performance data from December 10, 2013, and on, reflects that of EMAG and MVEMAG. All Index history reflects a blend of the performance of the aforementioned Indexes (MVEMAG and LATS). LATS is a trademark of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporation, which neither sponsors nor endorses EMAG and makes no warranty or representation as to the accuracy and/or completeness of this Index.

 

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF was 5/11/11.

 

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 (5/11/11) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (5/12/11), 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 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting marketvectorsetfs.com.

 

Gross Expense Ratio 1.01% / Net Expense Ratio 0.49%

 

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 0.49% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2015. 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.

Commencement date for the Market Vectors International High Yield Bond ETF was 4/2/12.

 

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 (4/2/12) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (4/3/12), 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 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting marketvectorsetfs.com.

 

Gross Expense Ratio 0.54%/ 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, 2015. 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.

      Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)
       
  This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund at NAV and at Share Price over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is compared with the Fund’s benchmark.  

 

Total Return  Share Price1  NAV  MVTHHY2
One Year   (1.04)%   (0.56)%   (0.55)%
Life* (annualized)   2.95%   2.98%   3.52%
Life* (cumulative)   6.33%   6.38%   7.56%
* since 3/21/2013               

 

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF was 3/21/13.

 

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 (3/21/13) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (3/22/13), 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 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting marketvectorsetfs.com.

 

Gross Expense Ratio 1.44% / Net Expense Ratio 0.50%

 

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 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2015. 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.

EXPLANATION OF EXPENSES

(unaudited)

 

Hypothetical $1,000 investment at beginning of period

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 entire period, November 1, 2014 to April 30, 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 the 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 your 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 fees on purchase payments. 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.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2015

 

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 April 30, 2015, offers fifty-five 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”), Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets Local Currency”), Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (“Fallen Angel”), International High Yield Bond ETF (“International High Yield”), Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (“Investment Grade”), 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.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

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.
96

 

 

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 (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.
   
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 April 30, 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 12 months during the year ended April 30, 2015 of which the average market value for that 12 month period was $8,469,346. Futures contracts held by Treasury-Hedged at April 30, 2015 are reflected in the Schedule of Investments.
   
  At April 30, 2015, Treasury-Hedged held the following derivatives instruments:
   
   Liability Derivatives
Interest Rate Risk
Futures contracts1   $48,950 
      
1 Statements of Assets and Liabilities location: Variation margin on futures contracts
   
  For Treasury-Hedged, the impact of transactions in derivative instruments during the year ended April 30, 2015 was as follows:
   Interest Rate Risk
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation):     
Futures contracts2  $(78,130)
Realized gain (loss)     
Futures contracts3   (178,106)
      
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 April 30, 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 April 30, 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 April 30, 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 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, 2015 (September 1, 2016 for ChinaAMC China Bond), 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 year ended April 30, 2015 are as follows:

 

Fund  Expense
Limitation
  Management
Fee Rate
  Waiver of
Management Fees

* Effective November 5, 2014, the expense limitation for Investment Grade was reduced from 0.19% to 0.14%.

 

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.

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:

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

 

During the year ended April 30, 2015, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment of foreign currency gains and losses, REIT/ROC adjustments, bond bifurcation adjustments, and in-kind share transactions, the Funds incurred differences that affected undistributed (accumulated) net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments and aggregate paid in capital by the amounts in the table below. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Treasury-Hedged   29,434    49,400    (78,834)

 

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 year ended April 30, 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.

101

(continued)

 

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 their 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 April 30, 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  
Emerging Markets Local Currency 200,000  
Fallen Angel 50,000 *
International High Yield 200,000  
Investment Grade 100,000  
Mortgage REIT 50,000  
Preferred Securities 50,000  
Treasury-Hedged 100,000 *

 

* Prior to May 29, 2014, March 6, 2015 and December 12, 2014, shares were issued and redeemed by Emerging Markets Aggregate, Fallen Angel, and Treasury-Hedged, respectively, in Creation Units of 200,000 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 year ended April 30, 2015, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:

 

Fund  In-Kind Contributions  In-Kind Redemptions
BDC Income  $52,964,102   $11,546,412 
ChinaAMC China Bond        
Emerging Markets Aggregate        
Emerging Markets High Yield   84,809,653    36,518,978 
Emerging Markets Local Currency   285,561,109    199,131,144 
Fallen Angel       2,716,715 
International High Yield   37,171,237    38,229,984 
Investment Grade   8,029,418    16,773,430 
Mortgage REIT       23,680,939 
Preferred Securities   151,514,578    47,126,110 
Treasury-Hedged       4,829,581 

 

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 gross 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

102

 

 

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 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, Emerging Markets Local Currency, Fallen Angel, International High Yield and Investment Grade 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 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. Accordingly, preferred securities are 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.

 

Treasury-Hedged invests directly in securities sold short and futures contracts 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 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 April 30, 2015, the Adviser owned approximately 50%, 26% and 13% of Emerging Markets Aggregate, Fallen Angel and ChinaAMC China Bond, 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. 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 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 and shares the interest earned on the collateral and borrowing fees received with the securities lending agent. 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 April 30, 2015 are presented on a gross basis in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

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. Interest is charged to the Funds at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the year ended April 30, 2015, the following Funds borrowed under this Facility:

Note 11—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 year ended April 30, 2015, there were no offsets to custodian fees.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Market Vectors ETF Trust

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF, BDC Income ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF, ChinaAMC China Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF, Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF and International High Yield Bond ETF (eleven of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2015, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF, BDC Income ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF, ChinaAMC China Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF, Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF and International High Yield Bond ETF (eleven of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) at April 30, 2015, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on December 4, 2014 (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”), considered and 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 Emerging Markets Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”).

 

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 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 the 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 Fund, 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 managers and others proposed to be involved in the management and administration of the 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 commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of at least one year following the effective date of the Fund’s respective registration statement.

 

In addition, the Trustees were given data on the exchange-traded fund market and expense ratios of other funds. The Trustees considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreement, that the Adviser would receive from serving as adviser to the Fund, including any it may receive from providing administrative services to the Fund and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor to the Fund. The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser because the Fund had not yet commenced operations. In addition, because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees could not consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to the Fund 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, the fees paid by certain other funds, 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 the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders.
