SUPPLEMENT DATED JANUARY 27, 2014 TO THE
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013 OF
MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

 

This Supplement updates certain information contained in the Semi-Annual Report for the period ended October 31, 2013 (the “Semi-Annual Report”) for Market Vectors CEF Municipal Income ETF, Market Vectors High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors Intermediate Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors Long Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF and Market Vectors Short Municipal Index ETF (the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust. You may obtain copies of the Funds’ Semi-Annual Report free of charge, upon request, by calling toll-free 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting the Van Eck website at www.marketvectorsetfs.com.

 

The following disclosure regarding the basis for the Trust’s Board of Trustees’ approval of the Funds’ investment management agreements is hereby added to the section titled “Approval of Investment Management Agreement (unaudited)” beginning on page 77 of the Funds’ Semi-Annual Report:

 

At a meeting held on June 6, 2013 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees that are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the continuation of the investment management agreements (the “Municipal Investment Management Agreements”) between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) with respect to the Market Vectors California Long Municipal Index ETF, High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, Intermediate Municipal Index ETF, Long Municipal Index ETF, Massachusetts Municipal Index ETF, New Jersey Municipal Index ETF, New York Long Municipal Index ETF, Ohio Municipal Index ETF, Pennsylvania Municipal Index ETF, Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF, Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF and Short Municipal Index ETF (the “Municipal Funds”) and the continuation of the investment management agreement between the Trust and the Adviser (the “CEF Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to Market Vectors CEF Municipal Income ETF (the “CEF Muni Fund” and together with the Municipal Funds, the “Funds”). The Municipal Investment Management Agreements and the CEF Investment Management Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Investment Management Agreements.” 

 

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

 

In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 7, 2013. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information the Adviser and Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent third party data provider, had provided to them in advance. The information provided to the Trustees included, among other things, information about the performance (for those Funds which had begun operations) and expenses of the Funds and (where applicable) the Funds’ peer funds (other index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)), information about the advisory services provided to the Funds and the personnel providing those services, and the profitability and other benefits enjoyed by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds. In reviewing performance and expense information for certain of the Funds against their peer groups, the Trustees considered that some of the

 

Funds generally invest in a different group of issuers than some or all of the other funds in a Fund’s designated peer group. For these and other reasons, the Trustees noted that the peer group information did not necessarily provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds.

 

The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreements was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and the May 7, 2013 meeting and information obtained at other meetings of the Trustees and/or based on their review of the materials provided by the Adviser, including the background and experience of the portfolio managers and others involved in the management and administration of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the terms of, and scope of services that the Adviser provides under, the Investment Management Agreements, including, with respect to the CEF Muni Fund, the Adviser’s commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of the CEF Muni Fund to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the CEF Muni Fund from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of time and, with respect to the Municipal Funds, the Adviser’s agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Municipal Funds (excluding interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses).

 

The Trustees concluded that the Adviser and its personnel have the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Funds’ portfolios, especially in light of the performance of those Funds that had commenced operations prior to the date of the Renewal Meeting (the “Operating Funds”). In evaluating each Operating Fund’s performance, the Trustees assessed the Operating Fund’s performance based on how well the performance of the Operating Fund tracked the performance of its benchmark index, using a variety of measurements in this regard. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Operating Funds was satisfactory.

 

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

 

As noted above, the Trustees were also provided various data from Lipper comparing the Operating Funds’ expenses and performance to that of other ETFs. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that each Operating Fund, except the CEF Muni Fund, had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) below the average and the median of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees concluded, in light of this information and the other information available to them, including that the Adviser was waiving some or all of the CEF Muni Fund’s management fee and reimbursing its expenses, that the fees paid by the Operating Funds were reasonable in light of the performance of the Operating Funds and the quality of services received. The Trustees noted that this comparative data, while generally helpful, was limited in its usefulness in many cases due to the lack of a large number of directly comparable ETFs.

 

The Trustees also considered any other benefits received by the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Funds and from providing certain administrative services to the Funds, and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor for the Funds.

 

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser about the overall profitability of the Adviser and its profitability or loss in respect of each Operating Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size, expense ratio and expense cap and noted that the Investment Management Agreements do not include breakpoints in the advisory fee rates as asset levels in a Fund increase. The Trustees noted that the Funds were still relatively new products, which therefore made it difficult to quantify the potential

 

variability in net assets and thus determine the sustainability of any potential economies of scale which may exist. The Trustees also considered, with respect to the Municipal Funds, the risks being assumed by the Adviser under the unitary fee structure arrangement and the potential expense stability that may inure to the benefit of shareholders of the Municipal Funds. Based on the foregoing and the other information available to them, the Trustees determined that the advisory fee rate for each Fund is reasonable and appropriate in relation to the current asset size of each Fund and the other factors discussed above and currently reflects an appropriate sharing of any economies of scale which may exist with shareholders. The Trustees also determined that the profits earned by the Adviser in respect of the Funds that were profitable to the Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services received by such Funds.

 

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

 

The Independent Trustees were advised by and met in executive session with their independent counsel at the Renewal Meeting and at their May 7, 2013 meeting, as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreements.

 

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

MARKET VECTORS MUNICIPAL INCOME ETFs

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for municipal income exchange-traded funds of the Market Vectors ETF Trust for the six-month period ended October 31, 2013.

 

Currently, many municipal bond closed-end funds (CEFs) trade at deep discounts to net asset value. This may mean potential opportunities for investors in a bond market that is both uncertain and difficult to navigate.

 

Just over two years ago we launched Market Vectors CEF Municipal Income ETF (XMPT), the first-of-its-kind exchange-traded fund. The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the S-Network Municipal Bond Closed-End Fund IndexSM (CEFMX). This index is net asset weighted and holds actively managed both unleveraged and leveraged, as well as investment grade and high-yield, municipal bond CEFs.

 

The rules-based index methodology capitalizes on the tendency of closed-end fund share prices, at times of market stress, to deviate from the value of their underlying holdings. It does this by assigning greater positions weight to CEFs trading at a discount, and less to those trading at a premium: the wider the discount, the greater the weight; the higher the premium, the lower the weight. It is important to remember that XMPT is subject to the risks of the underlying funds in which it invests.

 

For investors looking for value in an uncertain municipal bond market, assigning a greater weight to CEFs trading at discounts potentially enhances both yield and the opportunity for capital appreciation. In addition, having a portfolio of CEFs managed by leading fixed income managers not only reduces single fund risk, but also provides diversification by asset, strategy and manager.

Management Discussion

The six-month period ended October 31, 2013 was characterized by some significant blows both to the fixed-income market and the municipal bond market. The first to strike both markets hit at the end of Mayi, when the Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) chairman, Ben Bernanke, suggested that the Fed could slow the pace of its bond purchases as part of a tapering of its monetary stimulus package – long-term interest rates rose sharply and continued to rise through to the middle of Octoberii, after which they stabilized when the Federal Reserve said it would continue with its bond buying program subject to certain indicators.

 

Two further blows struck the municipal bond market in particular soon thereafter, although neither came as a complete surprise. On Thursday, July 18, Detroit filed for bankruptcyiii, subsequently defaulting on more than $600 million of ‘unsecured’ general obligation bonds on October 1iv. Then, toward the end of August, an article in Barron’sv, raised doubts about Puerto Rico’s abilities to cover its debts, and the specter of a further possible default. And on October 3, Moody’s downgraded $6.8 billion of Puerto Rico sales tax bondsvi.

 

While the Fed’s statement on September 18vii that, in the absence of evidence of sustainable improvement in the economy, it would maintain the pace of monthly bond buying helped produce a rally of sortsviii, the six-month period as a whole was marked by monthly outflows from both U.S. municipal mutual funds and ETFs. Over the whole six months, these outflows amounted to some $52.28 billion.

Performance information for the Funds reflect 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.

 

Short Municipal Index ETF/Pre-Refunded Municipal Bond ETF

 

On the short end of the curve, there was less selling pressure on short and pre-refunded municipal bonds than there was on intermediate, long or high yield municipal bonds.

 

Among short municipals (“munis”), the education sector contributed most to the total return of the Short Municipal Index ETF, while of the nine sectors detracting from performance, the electric sector was the greatest detractor. In terms of state, North Carolina contributed the most to the total return of the fund, while Puerto Rico was the greatest detractor.

 

While munis from New Jersey contributed most to the total return of the Pre-Refunded Municipal Bond ETF, a single muni from Nebraska (which is escrowed to maturity), because of its generally longer duration, was the greatest detractor from the fund’s performance.

Intermediate Municipal Index ETF

 

Puerto Rico’s downgradeix in October contributed to price volatility for intermediates. There also seemed to be some evidence of forced selling by institutions to keep in line with investment grade mandates. While munis from no state contributed positively to the total return of the fund, those from both New York and Puerto Rico were the greatest detractors from performance. The two sectors with the largest weightings in the index, local general obligation and state general obligation, were also the two largest sectors detracting from performance.

 

Long Municipal Index ETF

 

The long end of the curve was hard hitx during the six months ended October 31, 2013. Because of the steepness of the municipal yield curve, when rates rose, the effect was particularly severe in this end of the curve. While no sector contributed positively to the fund’s total return, the hospital sector was the greatest detractor from performance. Only a single muni from Kansas contributed positively to performance. California and New York were the two worst performing states.

 

High-Yield Municipal Index ETF

 

There has been little new high-yieldxi issuance in the past couple of years. This has led a degree of constraint in terms of supply and demand. There was a dramatic dislocationxii in the market when rates rose that was primarily attributable to the situation in Puerto Rico. This was reflected in the fund by the fact that Puerto Rico was the worst performing state/U.S. territory and the single largest detractor from its performance.

 

CEF Municipal Income ETF

 

Having traded at a premium almost consistently for much of the past two years, towards the end of the six months ended October 31, 2013, municipal closed-end funds (CEFs) experienced a narrowing of premiumsxiii and a dramatic widening of discounts. As many municipal CEFs use leverage they have tended to see more dramatic price moves then regular municipal bonds, especially when something impacts the market.

Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, forthe 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.

Gross Expense Ratio 0.79% / Net Expense Ratio 0.40%

Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses) from exceeding 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2014. 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 Intermediate Municipal Index ETF was 12/4/07.

 

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 (12/4/07) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (12/6/07), 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.

 

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

 

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

 

2 Barclays AMT-Free Intermediate Continuous Municipal Index (LMT2TR) is comprised of bonds that must be rated investment-grade (Baa3/BBB- or higher) by at least two of the following ratings agencies: Moody’s, S&P, Fitch. If only two of the three agencies rate the security, the lower rating is used to determine index eligibility. If only one of the three agencies rates a security, the rating must be investment-grade. They must have an outstanding par value of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated-date within the last five years, and must be at least six years but less than seventeen years from their maturity date.Remarketed issues, taxable municipal bonds, AMT municipal bonds, bonds with floating rates, and derivatives, are excluded from the benchmark.

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, May 1, 2013 to October 31, 2013.

 

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as 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.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (for the six months ended October 31, 2013) multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2013 (unaudited)

 

Note 1—Fund Organization—Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was incorporated in Delaware as a statutory trust on March 15, 2001. The Trust operates as a series fund, and as of October 31, 2013, offers fifty three 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”) 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
of Operations      
  Index
CEF Municipal   July 12, 2011   S-Network Municipal Bond Closed-End Fund IndexSM
High-Yield   February 4, 2009   Barclays Municipal Custom High Yield Composite Index
Intermediate   December 4, 2007   Barclays AMT-Free Intermediate Continuous Municipal Index
Long   January 2, 2008   Barclays AMT-Free Long Continuous Municipal Index
Pre-Refunded   February 2, 2009   Barclays Municipal Pre-Refunded-Treasury-Escrowed Index
Short   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 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 for which market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations 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 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
71

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

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 the 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. 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. The Funds held no derivative instruments outstanding during the period ended October 31, 2013.
72

 

 

 

 

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 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 Management 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 cap listed below.

 

The current management fee rate, expense cap and the amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser for the period ended October 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

Fund  Expense Cap  Management
Fee Rate
  Waiver of
Management
Fees
  Expenses
Assumed by
the Adviser
CEF Municipal *   0.40%   0.40%  $48,556   $ 

 

 

 

* The Adviser has agreed, at least until September 1, 2014, 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 cap, excluding interest expense.

 

The current unitary management fee rates for the period ended October 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

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

 

Note 4—Investments—For the period ended October 31, 2013, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments other than U.S. government obligations and short-term obligations (excluding in-kind transactions described in Note 6) were as follows:

 

Fund  Cost of Investments

Pre-Refunded   518,140         
Short   2,443,328    738    108,284 

 

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

 

On December 22, 2010 the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in the pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

 

At April 30, 2013, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, as follows:

 

   Post-Effective-No
Expiration
  Post-Effective-No
Expiration
  Amount Expiring in the Year Ended April 30,
   Short-Term  Long-Term  April  April  April
Fund  Capital Losses  Capital Losses  2019  2018  2017
CEF Municipal   215,513         $     $     $ 
Long   261,318          78,825      1,554,202      603,978 
Pre-Refunded   129,222                       
Short   32,634    21,742                   

 

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 2010 - 2013), 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 period ended October 31, 2013, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Note 6—Capital Share Transactions—As of October 31, 2013, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units, consisting of 100,000 shares, except for CEF Municipal, which has Creation Units consisting of 50,000 shares, or multiples thereof. The consideration for the purchase or redemption of Creation Units of the Funds generally consists of the in-kind contribution or distribution of securities constituting the Funds’ underlying index plus a small amount of cash. For the period ended October 31, 2013, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:

 

Fund  In-Kind Contributions        In-Kind Redemptions
CEF Municipal  $7,386,251   $1,305,537 
High-Yield       224,491,684 
Intermediate   76,139,510    218,885,258 
Long   13,787,665    46,868,501 
Pre-Refunded        
Short   21,082,452    28,507,564 

 

Note 7—Concentration and Other Risks—The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, as indicated in the name of each Fund. The Adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. The Funds (except CEF Municipal) use a sampling approach in which the Adviser uses quantitative analysis to select bonds that represent a sample of securities in the index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. 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.

 

High-Yield invests 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 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 are included in “Management fees” in the Statements of Operations. 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 Statements of Operations. The liability for the Plan is shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on September 11, 2013, (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees that are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved an investment management agreement between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the Market Vectors Puerto Rico Municipal Index 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 management of the Fund and the Adviser at the Meeting, 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 of the Fund. In evaluating the terms of the Investment Management Agreement and the proposal for the Fund to adopt a unitary fee structure, the Trustees considered the risks being assumed by the Adviser under the unitary fee structure arrangement and the potential expense stability that may inure to the benefit of shareholders of 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 agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses).

 

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, 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 interest of the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders.
