Dear Shareholder:
On January 7, 2014, the Market Vectors China ETF was renamed Market Vectors ChinaAMC A-Share ETF (PEK), and now offers direct exposure to physical China A-shares, many of which are not listed on other international exchanges.
When PEK was launched on October 13, 2010, it was the first ETF of its kind to offer broad exposure to China A-shares, which represent the largest portion of China’s equity market. Now, through our agreement with China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited (“ChinaAMC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of China Asset Management, China’s largest management company in terms of mutual fund assets under management, PEK is able to have direct exposure to physical China A-shares.
The China A-share market is currently only accessible by domestic Chinese investors and certain approved institutional investors, making it difficult for U.S. investors and other foreign investors to access local companies.
A recent article from McKinsey† describes the growth of China’s middle class as “explosive” and an instrument of “sweeping economic change and social transformation”. It sees the middle class (both upper and mass) as set to expand over the next couple of decades, with the upper middle class becoming the prime mover behind consumer spending. McKinsey estimates that, by 2022, the upper middle class will account for 54% of urban households (2012: 14%), and 56% of urban private consumption (2012: 20%).
With ChinaAMC serving as sub-advisor to the fund, we have the ability to provide access to China’s domestic growth story by directly investing in shares of local Chinese companies that may be poised to benefit from the rapidly growing middle class. We believe this access makes PEK an even more compelling investment option for China-focused investors, particularly when one considers the market capitalization of China A-shares relative to the rest of the emerging markets universe.

Country/Regional Overviews
Africa
The financial sector, in particular banks, was the greatest contributor to the positive return for the year. Both the consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors also contributed positively to return. The greatest detractor from performance was the materials sector, especially gold mining companies. Geographically, Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, and Egypt were the two most significant contributors to return, with companies operating in South Africa and east Africa, in particular, detracting from performance. While mid- and small-cap companies both contributed positively to return, large-cap companies made a negative contribution.
Brazil
The fallout from mass protests in the country in the second quarter persisted throughout the rest of the year, with confidence in Brazil’s economic, political and social stability shaken. Indeed, the country’s GDP contracted to such an extent in the third quarter that economic performance in that quarter ranked as the worst in two yearsi. As a consequence, all sectors, except information technology, contributed negatively to return over the 12-month period. Small-cap stocks in the consumer discretionary, industrials and financials sectors, in that order, were the worst performers and contributed most significantly to the fund’s negative return.

China
With slower than expected export growth in December, expectations are that Chinese GDP growth in 2013 will be its weakest in 14 yearsii. While exports have been hit by rising labor costs, a stronger currency, and hesitant global demand, combined with rising imports and domestic demand, the country still ended the year with a $259.8B trade surplus, an increase of 12.4% over 2012iii. Only three sectors contributed positively to return: health care, information technology and consumer discretionary. The worst performing sectors were materials, followed by energy. Fund performance for the period was derived primarily from swap contracts on the CSI 300 Index†. Contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2013 are presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Colombia
Although economic growth, on the back of construction, agriculture and farming, picked up in the third quarter, through mid- 2013 Colombia experienced a severe slowdown in industrial output and inflation levels akin to those experienced over 50 years agoiv. The country’s central bank rate remains the lowest in South America. Of all sectors, financials was the greatest negative contributor to return, closely followed by the materials sector. Only the industrials and utilities sectors were positive contributors to return during the year, albeit minimally.
Egypt
Despite the country’s continuing problems, not least a continuing large budget deficitv and, at year end, core inflation running at its highest annual rate in nearly four yearsvi, the position at the half year point was spectacularly reversed, with all sectors in the domestic market, except one, contributing to a positive return for the year. The consumer staples and materials sectors (driven by food products) were the two largest contributors to performance. Even the financial sector, with its dominant average weighting in the index, contributed positively to total return. The energy sector was the only detractor from performance.
Germany
Germany’s economy continued to outperform those of other Euro-zone countries in 2013, and in December, the Bundesbank’s president, Jens Weidmann, announced that it had raised its forecast for growth for the year to 0.5% from 0.3%vii. In November, on the back of falling imports and rising exports, the country recorded a near record high trade surplusviii. German small-cap companies had an excellent year. Except for stocks in the consumer staples sector, all sectors produced positive returns, with particularly strong contributions from industrial companies followed by those in the information technology, consumer discretionary and health care sectors.
Gulf States
During the year, the Gulf States–especially its leading members Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates–avoided becoming too embroiled economically in the turbulence elsewhere in the Arab world. The fund posted the second highest total return of any fund in the Market Vectors suite of international funds. Geographically, the United Arab Emirates, with the largest average country weighting, contributed most significantly to performance, followed by Qatar and Kuwait–in that order. In terms of sector, financial stocks were the greatest contributors, with industrials providing the only other significant contribution.
India
Throughout 2013, India faced a number of economic problems, amongst them both a weak Rupee and substantial and increasing inflationix. Though the Rupee fell to historic lows in May through August of 2013 and bottomed out 20% weaker than it started the year, it recovered somewhat towards the end of the year, finishing down 11% on the yearx. In the second half of the year, exports grew substantially. Having reached a record level at the end of March, by the end of the year its trade deficit had narrowed substantiallyxi. Only the health care and information technology sectors produced a small positive return, with all other sectors contributing negatively to performance, especially the industrials, financials, and consumer discretionary sectors.

Indonesia
For Indonesia, 2013 was a year of major policy and economic adjustment in response to more severe external constraints. Over the year, not only did the Rupiah depreciate substantiallyxii, but economic growth also faced severe headwinds: interest rates were highxiii, external demand was weaker and investment was slow. On a more positive note, private consumption, so important for the country’s economy, remained resilientxiv, and poverty continued to declinexv. Among small-cap stocks, no sector contributed positively to performance. Those in the financials, industrials and energy sectors, contributed most negatively to performance. For medium- and large-cap names, there were negative returns across all sectors, with financial stocks providing the most significant drag on performance.
Israel
December’s economic data was mixedxvi, but during the fourth quarter, and in November in particular, the Israeli market benefited not only from the strength of the Israeli consumer, but also from a slight weakening of the Shekel against the U.S. Dollar and a brighter prospect for its government’s budgetxvii. The fund launched less than a week before the end of the second quarter and traded for only just over six months. However, over that period, health care, information technology and financial stocks, constituting the three sectors with the highest average weighting, were also the fund’s most significant contributors to performance. Only the materials sector contributed negatively to return.
Latin America
Small-cap Latin American stocks were particularly hard hit in 2013 by the falling prices of both gold and precious metals, particularly silver. The materials sector, especially metals and mining, was the single largest contributor to the fund’s underperformance, followed, to a lesser extent, by the consumer discretionary, industrials and consumer staples sectors. Of all Latin American countries represented in the fund, only Argentina, Mexico, and Panama produced positive returns, and these were minimal, despite Mexico having an average weighting of just less than 13%. Brazil, with its average weighting of nearly 35%, contributed nearly one half of the fund’s negative return.
Poland
While the EU’s largest emerging economy experienced a more-than-expected slowdown in growth during the first six months of 2013, with the economy coming to a virtual standstill in the first quarter,xviii data released in the third quarter showed growth of 1.9% in that quarterxix. Although exports were the main driver of this growth, domestic demand provided an increased contribution. According to the Economy Ministry, the country’s GDP probably grew 1.5% during the year–in line with its forecastsxx. By far the largest contribution to positive performance came from the financial stocks, especially banks. The materials sector, particularly metals and mining, was a significant detractor from performance.
Russia
Even with the average price of oil above $100 during the year, Russia’s economy stagnated in 2013. Down from 1.8% to 1.4%, GDP growth was sharply lowerxxi. Industrial production was also sharply downxxii over the year. Since over 80% of the country’s exports are commodity-relatedxxiii, Russia has been particularly sensitive to the questionable health of the commodity markets. However, anchored by low unemployment, private consumptionxxiv continued to grow during the year, but inflation remained high during the year, ending the year at 6.5% year-on-yearxxv. Stocks in the materials sector (particularly metals and mining), provided the most significant negative contributions to the two Russian funds’ returns and, in particular, to those of the small-cap fund. While, in order of magnitude, the industrials, financials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors all provided positive returns to the small-cap fund, consumer staples, as opposed to industrials, topped the sectors contributing positive returns to the large-cap fund.

Vietnam
On the back of controlling inflation and strengthening its external accounts, Vietnam was able to maintain its economic stability over the course of 2013xxvi. Exports remained strongxxvii and GDP increased 5.42% in 2013xxviii. Constituting 43% of the country’s economy and growing by 6.56% during the year, Vietnam’s service sector led the country’s sectorial growth. Except for a small negative return from the consumer discretionary sector, all other sectors produced positive returns, with energy companies leading the way, followed by those in the utilities, materials, industrial and financials sectors respectively. With an average weighting of nearly 50%, small-cap companies made by far the greatest contribution to return.

Index data prior to June 21, 2013 reflects that of the Dow Jones Africa Titans 50 Index SM. From June 21, 2013 forward, the index data reflects that of the Market Vectors GDP Africa Index (MVAFKTR). All Index history reflects a blend of the performance of the aforementioned Indexes AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR ANY THIRD PARTY USE. |
Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)
Commencement date for the Market Vectors Africa Index ETF was 7/10/08.
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 (7/10/08) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (7/14/08), 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.
Gross Expense Ratio 0.93% / Net Expense Ratio 0.81%
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 interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.78% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least May 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 cash. 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.
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 | Market Vectors GDP Africa Index (MVAFKTR) tracks the performance of the largest and most liquid companies in Africa. The weighting of a country in the index is determined by the size of its gross domestic product. |
Market Vectors GDP Africa Index (the “Index”) is the exclusive property of Market Vectors Index Solutions GmbH (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser), which has contracted with Solactive AG to maintain and calculate the Index. Solactive AG uses its best efforts to ensure that the Index is calculated correctly. Irrespective of its obligations towards Market Vectors Index Solutions GmbH, Solactive AG has no obligation to point out errors in the Index to third parties.

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 (10/13/10) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (10/14/10), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. |

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.

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.

Index data prior to June 21, 2013 reflects that of the Dow Jones GCC Titans 40 IndexSM. From June 21, 2013 forward, the index data reflects that of the Market Vectors GDP GCC Index (MVMESTR). All Index history reflects a blend of the performance of the aforementioned Indexes AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR ANY THIRD PARTY USE. |
Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)
Commencement date for the Market Vectors Gulf States Index ETF was 7/22/08.
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 (7/22/08) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (7/24/08), 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.
Gross Expense Ratio 2.59% / Net Expense Ratio 0.98%
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 interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.98% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least May 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 cash. 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.
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.

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.
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.

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 (4/6/10) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (4/7/10), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. |

Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)
Commencement date for the Market Vectors Vietnam ETF was 8/11/09.
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 (8/11/09) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (8/14/09), 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 0.72% / Net Expense Ratio 0.72%
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 interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.76% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least May 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 cash. 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.
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 | Market Vectors Vietnam Index (MVVNMTR) is a rules-based, modified market capitalization-weighted, float-adjusted index comprised of publicly traded companies that are domiciled and primarily listed in Vietnam, or that generate at least 50% of their revenues in Vietnam. |
Market Vectors Vietnam Index (the “Index”) is the exclusive property of Market Vectors Index Solutions GmbH (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser), which has contracted with Solactive AG to maintain and calculate the Index. Solactive AG uses its best efforts to ensure that the Index is calculated correctly. Irrespective of its obligations towards Market Vectors Index Solutions GmbH, Solactive AG has no obligation to point out errors in the Index to third parties. Market Vectors Vietnam ETF (the “Fund”) is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Market Vectors Index Solutions GmbH and Market Vectors Index Solutions GmbH makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Fund.

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, July 1, 2013 to December 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 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 your 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 program fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 were $92,359. These transfers resulted primarily from changes in certain foreign securities valuation methodologies between the last close of the securities’ primary market (Level 1) and valuation by a pricing service (Level 2), which takes into account market direction or events occurring before the Fund’s pricing time but after the last local close, as described in the Notes to Financial Statements.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST
December 31, 2013
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 December 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: Africa Index ETF, Brazil Small-Cap ETF, ChinaAMC A-Share ETF, Colombia ETF, Egypt Index ETF, Germany Small-Cap ETF, Gulf States Index ETF, India Small-Cap Index ETF, Indonesia Index ETF, Indonesia Small-Cap ETF, Israel ETF, Latin America Small-Cap Index ETF, Poland ETF, Russia ETF, Russia Small-Cap ETF and Vietnam ETF (each a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”). India Small-Cap Index ETF makes its investments through the India Small-Cap Mauritius Fund (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary organized in the Republic of Mauritius. Each Fund was created to provide investors with the opportunity to purchase a security representing a proportionate undivided interest in a portfolio of securities consisting of substantially all of the common stocks in substantially the same weighting, in an index sponsored by the China Securities Index Co. Ltd., Bluestar Israel Global Index or Market Vectors Index Solutions GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”).

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 |
98 |
Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (described below). Certain foreign securities, whose values may be affected by market direction or events occurring before the Funds’ pricing time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) but after the last close of the securities’ primary market, are fair valued using a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The pricing service, using methods approved by the Board of Trustees, considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to intraday trading in the U.S. markets, based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. The Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, such as, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Fund is open. 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. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are considered to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the spot currency rate plus an amount (“points”), which reflects the differences in the interest rates between the U.S. and foreign markets and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee of Van Eck Associates Corporation (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 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. | Basis for Consolidation–The Subsidiary, an Indian exempted company, was incorporated on February 25, 2010 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary and acts as an investment vehicle for the India Small-Cap Index ETF (the “SCIF”) in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the SCIF. The SCIF is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary, and it is intended that the SCIF will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements of the SCIF include the financial results of its wholly-owned subsidiary. All material interfund account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
C. | 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. |

(continued)
D. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders–Dividends to shareholders from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. |
E. | 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. |
F. | 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. |
G. | 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 December 31, 2013 are reflected in the Schedules of Investments. |
H. | 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 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 notional amount of the swap position reflected in the Schedule of Investments is indicative of the volume of swap activity during the year ended December 31, 2013. Details of this disclosure are found below: |
At December 31, 2013, ChinaAMC A-Share ETF held the following derivatives:
Liability

Swap contracts, at value1 | $(1,718,321) |
1 | Statements of Assets and Liabilities location: Swap contracts, at value |

For ChinaAMC A-Share ETF, the impact of transactions in derivative instruments, during the year ended December 31, 2013, were as follows:
Equity risk | ||||
Realized gain(loss): | ||||
Swap contracts2 | $2,308,584 | |||
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation): | ||||
Swap contracts3 | (4,880,324 | ) |
2 | Statements of Operations location: Net realized gain on swap contracts |
3 | Statements of Operations location: Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts |
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts–The Funds are subject to foreign currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Funds may buy and sell forward foreign currency contracts to settle purchases and sales of foreign denominated securities or to hedge foreign denominated assets. Realized gains and losses from forward foreign currency contracts, if any, are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and foreign denominated assets and liabilities in the Statements of Operations. The Funds may incur additional risk from investments in forward foreign currency contracts if the counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligation or there are unanticipated movements of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The Funds held no forward foreign currency contracts during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Swap Agreements–The Funds may enter into swap transactions to gain investment exposure for total return or for hedging purposes. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Funds and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Funds consider the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, market risk, liquidity risk and elements of credit, legal and documentation risk in excess of amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds may pay or receive cash as collateral on these contracts which may be recorded as an asset and/or liability. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures, to cover their obligations under these contracts. Swap contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Upfront payments, if any, made and/or received by the Funds are recorded as an asset and/or liability and realized gains or losses are recognized over the contract’s term/event. Periodic payments received or made on swap contracts are recorded as realized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of a swap contract and are recorded in the Statements of Operations. The Funds, other than ChinaAMC A-Share ETF, held no swaps contracts during the year ended December 31, 2013. ChinaAMC A-Share ETF invests in the following type of swap:
A total return swap is an agreement that gives a Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the swap, the Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the average monthly notional amount of the total return swap contracts in ChinaAMC A-Share ETF was $35,801,266. Outstanding total return swap contracts for the ChinaAMC A-Share ETF held at December 31, 2013 are reflected in the Schedule of Investments.
I. | Offsetting Assets and Liabilities–In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements 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 do not offset securities lending or repurchase agreement assets and liabilities subject to enforceable master netting agreements or other similar agreements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Collateral held at December 31, 2013 is presented in the Schedules of Investments. |

J. | 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 except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized upon notification of the ex-dividend date/rate. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned. |
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 0.50% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed, at least until May 1, 2014 (May 1, 2015 for Israel ETF), 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 caps (excluding interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) listed in the table below.

The expense caps and the amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser for the year ended December 31, 2013, are as follows:

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 is 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 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 December 31, 2013, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, as follows:

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 December 31, 2010-2012), or expected to be taken in the Funds’ current tax year. 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. However, the Funds are subject to foreign taxes on the appreciation in value of certain investments. The Funds provide for such taxes on both realized and unrealized appreciation.
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 December 31, 2013, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
The Indian Finance Minister announced the introduction of a general anti-avoidance rule (“GAAR”) in the Indian tax law in the 2012/2013 budget. GAAR would be applicable where the main purpose of an arrangement is tax avoidance and would empower Indian tax authorities to declare such arrangement as an impermissible avoidance arrangement. Presently, GAAR is expected to become effective tax year beginning 2015. A special committee was constituted by the Indian Revenue authorities to provide clarity and guidance on the application and implementation of GAAR and have submitted preliminary recommendations. As the rules and guidelines have not yet been issued by the Revenue authorities, the Adviser cannot assess whether the India Small-Cap Index ETF, investing through its Mauritius Subsidiary, will fall within the scope of the GAAR provision.
Note 6–Capital Share Transactions–As of December 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 50,000 shares (except for ChinaAMC A-Share ETF which has Creation Units consisting of 100,000 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 December 31, 2013, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:

Note 7–Concentration of Risk–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 by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Funds’ index. Each of the Funds 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. The Funds may purchase securities on foreign exchanges. Securities of foreign issuers involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. These risks include devaluation of currencies, currency controls, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, future adverse political and economic developments and local/regional conflicts. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market countries. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. issuers.
At December 31, 2013, the Adviser owned approximately 11% of ChinaAMC A-Share ETF.
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.
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. 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 the Bank of New York Overnight Government Fund, the Bank of New York Institutional Cash Reserve, or 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. As of December 31, 2013, the loans outstanding and the collateral received are included in value of securities on loan and collateral for securities loaned, respectively, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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 December 31, 2013, there were no offsets to custodian fees.
Note 12–Share Split–On January 19, 2011, the Adviser announced the Board of Trustees approved a 3 for 1 share split of the Indonesia Index ETF. This split took place for shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 28, 2011 and was payable on January 31, 2011. Fund shares began trading on the split adjusted NAV on February 1, 2011. The Financial Highlights prior to February 1, 2011 for the Fund have been adjusted to reflect the 3 for 1 share split.
On July 1, 2013, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved a 1 for 3 reverse share splits for Russia Small-Cap ETF, and 1 for 4 reverse share splits for Egypt ETF and India Small-Cap ETF. Fund shares began trading on the split adjusted NAV on July 1, 2013. The Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights prior to July 1, 2013 for the Funds have been adjusted to reflect the 1 for 3 reverse share split.
Note 13–Recent Accounting Pronouncements–The Funds have adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, as clarified by ASU No. 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” which requires entities to disclose gross and net information about derivative instruments, repurchase and reverse-repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either: (1) offset in accordance with GAAP, or (2) subject to enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreements, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with GAAP. In addition, ASU No. 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. Additional disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2011-11 and ASU No. 2013-01 are reflected in Note 2 to the Funds’ financial statements.
Note 14-Subsequent Event Review–The Funds have evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
Effective January 7, 2014, China ETF changed its name to ChinaAMC A-Share ETF, and the financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the new name. In addition, the Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in A-shares. Because the Fund does not satisfy the criteria to qualify as a RQFII or QFII itself, the Fund intends to invest directly in A-shares via the A-share quota granted to the Fund’s sub-adviser, China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited.

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 (consolidated as it relates to India Small-Cap Index ETF), including the schedules of investments (consolidated as it relates to India Small-Cap Index ETF), of Africa Index ETF, Brazil Small-Cap ETF, ChinaAMC A-Share ETF (formerly, China ETF), Colombia ETF, Egypt Index ETF, Germany Small-Cap ETF, Gulf States Index ETF, India Small-Cap Index ETF, Indonesia Index ETF, Indonesia Small-Cap ETF, Israel ETF, Latin America Small-Cap Index ETF, Poland ETF, Russia ETF, Russia Small-Cap ETF and Vietnam ETF (sixteen of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) (the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations (consolidated as it relates to India Small-Cap Index ETF), the statements of changes in net assets (consolidated as it relates to India Small-Cap Index ETF) 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 December 31, 2013, 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 (consolidated as it relates to India Small-Cap Index ETF) of Africa Index ETF, Brazil Small-Cap ETF, ChinaAMC A-Share ETF (formerly, China ETF), Colombia ETF, Egypt Index ETF, Germany Small-Cap ETF, Gulf States Index ETF, India Small-Cap Index ETF, Indonesia Index ETF, Indonesia Small-Cap ETF, Israel ETF, Latin America Small-Cap Index ETF, Poland ETF, Russia ETF, Russia Small-Cap ETF and Vietnam ETF (sixteen of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) at December 31, 2013, the results of their operations (consolidated as it relates to India Small-Cap Index ETF), the changes in their net assets (consolidated as it relates to India Small-Cap Index ETF) 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 (the “Meeting”) held on December 3, 2013, 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 a sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) and China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to Market Vectors ChinaAMC A-Share ETF (formerly, Market Vectors China ETF) (the “Fund”).
The Board’s approval of the Sub-Advisory 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 and the Sub-Adviser, as discussed below. Information provided to the Trustees from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser included various aspects of the proposed changes to the Fund’s investment strategies, the rationale for retaining a sub-adviser that has been granted a quota under the Renminbi Qualified Institutional Investors Scheme (“RQFII quota”) and the RQFII program generally. The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement was based, in part, on information obtained through discussions with the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser at the Meeting regarding the management of the Fund and/or based on their review of the materials provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including the background and experience of the portfolio managers and others involved or proposed to be involved on behalf of the Sub-Adviser in the management of the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Sub-Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Asset Management Co., China’s largest asset management company in terms of fund assets under management. The Trustees took into account the Sub-Adviser’s experience and investment management process with respect to RQFII funds, including index-based exchange-traded funds, currently managed by the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also considered the terms of, and scope of services that the Sub-Adviser would provide under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered information with respect to the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program.
In addition, the Trustees were given information regarding the expected benefits to the Fund that could be achieved by investing directly in A-shares via the Sub-Adviser’s RQFII quota. The Trustees took into account the unique legal and operational aspects of the Fund and the RQFII program. The Trustees also considered materials relating to the sub-advisory fees to be paid to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser, the advisory fees to be retained by the Adviser and information provided by the Sub-Adviser with respect to the tracking error of other RQFII funds that it manages and the fees it charges those funds, which are higher than the fees to be paid to it in respect of the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser were appropriate based on information provided with respect to the Sub-Adviser.
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 Sub-Advisory Agreement.
In voting to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Sub-Advisory 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 also concluded that the sub-advisory fees were reasonable in light of the services to be provided. The Trustees further concluded that Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interest of the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders.
