MARKET VECTORS INCOME ETFs


Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for income-oriented exchange-traded funds of the Market Vectors ETF Trust for the six months ended October 31, 2012.

During this period, income-oriented exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continued to benefit from low interest rates and investors’ appetite for yield. According to the Investment Company Institute, 205 bond ETFs were traded on U.S. exchanges as of October 2012, and they held $238.7 billion in total assets. The number of bond ETFs increased by 25.0% year-over-year and their assets grew by 37.0%. Bond ETFs now account for 17.2% of total ETFs and 18.8% of total ETF assets.1

In total, including equity ETFs, Market Vectors has grown into the fifth largest ETF family in the U.S. based on assets, with $28.0 billion invested in 50 funds.2

Two new ETFs were launched during this six-month period:

 

 

§

HYEM is the first ETF designed to focus solely on the U.S. dollar-denominated non-sovereign segment of emerging market high-yield bonds, a segment that has grown to 10% of the global high-yield corporate bond market. These bonds are currently out-yielding and have displayed lower historical default rates than U.S. high-yield corporate bonds3.

§

PFXF offers investors access to the income potential of preferred securities without the volatility of the financial sector, which accounts for a large percentage of total portfolio weight in competitive index funds. The financial sector has exhibited the highest volatility, as measured by standard deviation, over the past 10 years.


 

 

 

 

Yield-to-Worst is generally defined as being the lowest yield that a buyer can expect to receive.

Market Review
During this period, investors continued to search for yield, and net inflows stayed strong in virtually all segments of the fixed income market. Once again, a major driver of flows was action taken by the Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) to maintain exceptionally low interest rates, while also adding to the mountainous pile of securities it is buying.

On September 13, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke announced a third round of aggressive bond-buying (quantitative easing (QE3)), while also promising to maintain low short-term rates through 2015. The Fed will buy $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities per month until it believes U.S. economic conditions have improved. When QE3 is combined with ongoing interest reinvestment on Fed holdings and the “Operation Twist” maturity extension program, the Fed’s bond-buying demand will total $85 billion per month through the end of 2012.

Although the Fed’s actions did not greatly exceed analysts’ expectations, the combination of the 2015 low-rate extension and a bottomless well of bond buying is expected to sustain investors demand for high-yield debt. By explicitly linking the duration of QE3 to the outlook for labor market improvement, the Fed made a more open-ended commitment than its predecessor programs.

In September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the U.S. Civilian Unemployment Rate fell to 7.8%, its lowest level since January of 2009.5 Third-quarter U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.7%, based on the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ revised estimate.6 This was stronger than the second quarter’s 1.3% GDP increase, and suggested that economic recovery in the U.S. is on a better pace than in other developed markets. The European Union reported that real GDP contracted by 0.1% during the third quarter in its 17-nation sphere,7 and Japan’s third-quarter GDP contracted by 0.9% from the previous quarter.8

To prevent defaults and revive economic growth in the Eurozone, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced on August 2 that it would launch its own version of QE, which it called Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT). Although its bond buying will be limited to sovereign debt with short maturities (1-3 year), the ultimate goal is to reduce the cost of borrowing for troubled nations out to about 10 years on the yield curve.

Meanwhile, the world’s other major economic power, China, cut its key central bank rate twice over the summer to revive economic growth. All over the world, central bankers have grown more emboldened to “step on the monetary policy gas” whenever they feel a tremor of economic weakness. For investors who must generate yield to meet current income needs (e.g., pension plans, endowments and retirees), the search for yield has become not an option or short-term contingency but rather a continuing necessity. This powerful demand is driving innovation and expanded choices across diverse sectors of high-yield investments.

EQUITY INCOME

Mortgage REITs
Mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs) have been huge beneficiaries of the Fed’s low-interest rate policies and resulting “flight to yield.” From 2008 through year-end 2011, the number of U.S. mortgage REITs increased from 20 to 30 and their market capitalization grew from $14.3 billion to $43.0 billion, according to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT).9

The basic recipe for mortgage REIT success depends on a steep yield curve, with a wide yield spread between short-term debt borrowed and long-term investment. The Fed’s announcement in September that it will buy $40 billion per month of mortgage-backed securities for an indefinite period has lowered long-term rates, which has had a negative impact on this model. In turn, this is causing mortgage REIT leaders to seek opportunities to diversify into other models.

Another concern for this sector is rising mortgage prepayments in today’s ultra-low mortgage rate market. Prepayments require the reinvestment of returned principal at lower interest rates, reducing mortgage REIT yields.

Preferred Securities
Preferred securities have captured the attention of yield-hungry investors, especially in the ETF space. However, until Market Vectors launched Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (PFXF), none of the preferred securities ETFs expressly avoided the largest sector of this market–financials. Historically, non-financial preferred securities have provided about the same yield as financials, at far lower standard deviation.

Since 2002, preferred securities have yielded 2.83% more than 30-year Treasuries10. Although preferred issues technically are stocks, they share bonds’ price vulnerability to rising interest rates.

INTERNATIONAL BOND

Latin American Bonds
Latin America offers investors diverse opportunities to participate in investment-grade and high-yield sovereign and corporate bonds. Recently, investors have been attracted to the current yields of these bonds, especially the sovereign debt of Latin America’s two largest countries and economies–Mexico and Brazil. During this period, Venezuela’s market achieved greater stability due to the closure of a Presidential election cycle, and Argentina’s bonds lost value due to an unfavorable U.S. Appeals Court ruling involving the country’s 2001 default.

Renminbi Bonds
The “dim sum bond market” consists of Chinese Renminbi-denominated bonds issued and traded in markets outside China. Since June of this year, the storyline in China was slowing economic growth and lower rates of dim sum bond issuance. The Wall Street Journal estimated that dim sum issuance declined from a peak of $2.58 billion issued in June to just $600 million in October. Analysts attributed part of the decline to temporary weakness in the renminbi (also know as “yuan”) vs. the dollar.

Now, signs are pointing toward a revival of growth in both the Chinese economy and dim sum bond issuance. Going forward, issuers are expected to offer higher yields to attract investors to the market. For example, Caterpillar sold $160 million of dim sum bonds in November at an interest rate of 3.35%, compared to a 2% coupon on similar bonds the same company issued in this market two years ago.11 Perhaps most importantly, the Chinese government has shown continued interest in promoting foreign investment keeping its currency modestly strong. Investors’ key concern in this market is the Chinese government’s heavy control over both currency value and financial markets.

International High Yield Bonds
As an asset class, international high-yield bonds are capturing interest from investors who wish to diversify among non-investment grade bonds issued outside the U.S., while benefitting from their relatively high yield. From 1981 through 2011, the median annual default rate on high-yield corporate bonds was about twice as high in the U.S. and tax havens, compared to Europe and emerging markets.

Compared to the U.S. high-yield corporate market, emerging markets recently have experienced a low supply of new issues, due mainly to fallout from the European debt crisis. During the second quarter of 2012, high-yield issuance in emerging markets was $30 billion below the prior year’s pace.12 In addition to credit risk, high-yield emerging bond investors are exposed to political, currency and liquidity risks.

Emerging Markets
Throughout 2012, emerging market bonds have continued to capture assets of investors who wish to diversify bond holdings, increase yield and reduce vulnerability to the U.S. dollar (by holding local currency issues). Although all emerging bond markets have some exposure to global macro events–e.g., the European debt crisis and the “fiscal cliff” outcome in the U.S.–performance in these markets has diverged based on regional and local market nuances. Emerging market bonds in Eastern Europe and Latin America were relatively strong during this period based on improving economic fundamentals. Selected Asian emerging markets, such as Malaysia, also performed well.

Although emerging market bonds have captured the attention of yield-seeking investors recently, they generally have less trading depth and liquidity and greater price volatility than developed bond markets.

CORPORATE BOND

Floating Rate Investment Grade Bonds
Floating rate debt is a segment of the investment-grade debt universe that may be attractive to investors who believe interest rates are bottoming, with no place to go but up. For U.S. investors, the core of this market consists of dollar-denominated floating-rate notes issued by corporate issuers. The combination of a low average duration, typically in the 2-3 year range, and floating interest rates creates the potential for relatively low price fluctuations. As interest rates rise, portfolio securities reset to higher yields.

Since this asset class is not limited to U.S. issuers, it also offers the opportunities for global diversification.

Fallen Angel Bonds
Fallen angel bonds give investors access to debt instruments of companies that have dropped below investment-grade tiers due to downgrades. Fallen angels currently account for about 15% of the U.S. dollar-denominated high-yield bond universe3. One healthy trend of 2012 has been the conversion of fallen angels into “rising stars,” which happens when credit ratings “re-ascend” to investment grade.

Defaults in this segment are well below the 4.5% historical average for all U.S. high yields, and yields remain attractive in comparison with broader high-yield markets. Like other high-yield bonds, fallen angels could be vulnerable to rising risk of defaults or downgrades if the U.S. economy enters a deep or lengthy recession.

* * *

In summary, during this six-month period, Market Vectors income-oriented ETFs helped investors access a broader range of choices for generating yield and maintaining fixed income allocations. Our menu of income-oriented ETFs also was well positioned to meet investors’ growing appetite for ETF variety this year.

On the following pages, you will find the performance record of each of the funds for the six-month period ended October 31, 2012. You will also find their financial statements and portfolio information. We value your ongoing confidence in us and look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future.

The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (5/8/12) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (5/9/12), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

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

Investment return and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting marketvectorsetfs.com.

Gross Expense Ratio 0.89% / 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 interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2013. 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.

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.

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.

The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (4/2/12) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (4/3/12), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

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

Investment return and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting marketvectorsetfs.com.

Gross Expense Ratio 0.72% / 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 interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2013. 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.

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, 2012 to October 31, 2012.

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” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in 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.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2012 (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, 2012, offers fifty investment portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of the Trust.

These financial statements relate only to the following investment portfolios: Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets High Yield”), Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets Local Currency”), Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (“Fallen Angel”), International High Yield Bond ETF (“International High Yield”), Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (“Investment Grade”), LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (“LatAm”), Mortgage REIT Income ETF (“Mortgage REIT”), Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (“Preferred Securities”) and Renminbi Bond ETF (“Renminbi”), 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 Mortgage REIT) 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. Mortgage REIT 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:

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. Under procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, the Funds may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value. 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). 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

53



 

 

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

 

 

securities’ primary market, are fair valued using a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. 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. The Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Fund is open. The price which the Funds may realize upon sale of an investment may differ materially from the value presented on the Schedules of Investments. 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. Certain factors such as economic conditions, political events, market trends and security specific information are used to determine the fair value for 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 on the Schedules of Investments.

 

 

 

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis which includes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The 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 transfer between levels of the fair value hierarchy assumes 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 Fund’s investments, and transfers between levels are located in the Schedules of Investments. Additionally, tables that reconcile the valuation of the Fund’s 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 (except Mortgage REIT which is declared and paid quarterly). Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and paid annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

 

D.

Currency Translation—Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under foreign currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing prices of such currencies each business day. Purchases and sales of investments are translated at the exchange rates prevailing when such investments are acquired or sold. Foreign denominated income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates prevailing when accrued. The portion of realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that result from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed in the financial statements. Recognized gains or losses attributable to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency denominated assets, other than investments, and liabilities are recorded as net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions. The total net realized gains or losses from fluctuations on foreign exchange rates on investments and other foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 5 - Income Taxes.

54



 

 



 

 

E.

Restricted Securities—The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

 

F.

Use of Derivative Instruments—The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivative instruments also involves the risk of loss if the investment adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instruments. The Funds had no derivative instruments outstanding during the period ended October 31, 2012.

 

 

G.

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. 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. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned. Interest income is generally not earned on debt securities in default or upon determination that the income is not realizable.

 

 

 

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Adviser believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

Note 3—Investment Management and Other Agreements—The Adviser is the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed, at least until September 1, 2013, for the Funds to voluntarily waive or limit its fees and to assume as its own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the Funds so that each Fund’s total annual operating expenses does not exceed the expense caps, excluding interest expense, listed in the table below:

The current management fee/expense caps and the amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser for the period ended October 31, 2012 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 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, 2012, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, as follows:

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

For the period May 1, 2012 to October 31, 2012, the net realized gains and (losses) from foreign currency translations were 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 2009–2011), 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, 2012, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Note 6—Capital Share Transactions—As of October 31, 2012, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units, or multiple thereof, are as follows:

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 Mortgage REIT) 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 the Funds involve risks similar to those of investing in any bond fund, such as market fluctuations caused by factors such as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices.

Emerging Markets, Fallen Angel and International High Yield may invest in non-investment grade securities, often referred to as “junk bonds.” Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. These high yield securities may involve greater risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. government bonds and other high quality fixed-income securities. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high yield securities may be less liquid due to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market and because of a decline in the value of such securities. International 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.

The Funds (with exception to Mortgage REIT) invest in foreign securities. Investments in foreign securities may involve a greater degree of risk than investments in domestic securities due to political, economic or social instability. Foreign investments may also be subject to foreign taxes and settlement delays. Since the Funds may have significant investments in foreign debt securities, they may be subject to greater credit and interest risks and greater currency fluctuations than portfolios with significant investments in domestic debt securities.

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

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

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

Note 9—Securities Lending—To generate additional income, each of the Funds (with exception to Preferred Securities) 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 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 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. Securities lending income is disclosed as such in the Statements

58



 


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 each of the Fund’s behalf by the lending agent and is invested in the Bank of New York Overnight Government Fund and/or the Bank of New York Institutional Cash Reserve. 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 may pay reasonable finders’, administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan of its securities and may share the interest earned on the collateral with the securities lending agent. 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 October 31, 2012, 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 10—Bank Line of Credit—Certain Funds may participate in a $130 million committed credit facility (“Facility”) to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Funds at the request of the shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds have agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the unused but available balance. Interest is charged to the Funds at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the period ended October 31, 2012, the following Funds borrowed under this facility:

As of October 31, 2012, the Funds had no outstanding loan balances.

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 period ended October 31, 2012, there were no offsets to custodian fees.

Note 12—Recent Accounting Pronouncements—The Funds have adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011–04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.” ASU No. 2011–04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011–04 requires reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU No. 2011–04 requires reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and can be found in Note 2 to the financial statements and the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2011–11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires an entity to make additional disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements. The new guidance seeks to enhance disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivatives instruments that are either: (1) offset in according with GAAP, or (2) subject to enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with GAAP. The new guidance is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management is currently evaluating the implications of this change and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST


APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

(unaudited)

At a meeting held on June 7, 2012 (the “June Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved an investment management agreement between the Trust and the Adviser (the “June Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the Market Vectors Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (the “New June Fund”). In addition, at a meeting held on September 12, 2012 (the “September Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved investment management agreements between the Trust and the Adviser (each a “September Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to Market Vectors – Altman Defaulted & Distressed Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF, USD Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF and Duration-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (and, collectively with the New June Fund, the “Funds”). The June Investment Management Agreement and September Investment Management Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Investment Management Agreements.”

The Board’s approval of each 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 each of the June Meeting and the September Meeting, the Trustees received materials from the Adviser, including expense information for other funds. The Adviser provided the Trustees with information regarding, among other things, the various aspects of each Fund’s proposed investment program, fee arrangements and service provider arrangements. The Independent Trustees’ consideration of each Investment Management Agreement was based, in part, on information obtained through discussions with management of the Funds and the Adviser at the June Meeting and the September Meeting (as applicable), 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 or proposed to be involved in the management and administration of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the terms of, and scope of services that the Adviser would provide under, each Investment Management Agreement, including the Adviser’s commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of each of the Funds to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each of the Funds from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of at least one year following the effective date of each Fund’s respective registration statement. The Trustees also considered information with respect 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 proposed service providers.

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 Agreements, that the Adviser would receive from serving as adviser to each Fund, including any it may receive from providing administrative services to each of the Funds and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor to each Fund. The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability of each of the Funds to the Adviser because the Funds had not yet commenced operations. However, the Adviser agreed to provide the Trustees with profitability information in connection with future proposed continuances of each Investment Management Agreement, which will permit the Trustees to consider in the future the extent to which economies of scale may exist and whether the fees paid to the Adviser reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. In addition, because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees could not consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to each of the Funds, 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 each of the June Meeting and the September Meeting as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreements.

In voting to approve the Investment Management Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreements 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 each Investment Management Agreement is in the interest of the relevant Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.

* * *

At a meeting held on June 7, 2012 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the investment management agreements between the Trust and the Adviser (the “Investment

Management Agreements”) with respect to the Market Vectors Asia ex-Japan Aggregate Bond ETF, Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF, European High Yield Bond ETF, European Sovereign Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, Fixed Income II ETF, Global High Yield Bond ETF, Global High Yield US$ Bond ETF, Greater China Corporate Bond ETF, Greater China High Yield Bond ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, International US$ High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, Japanese Bond ETF, LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF and Renminbi Bond ETF (collectively, the “Funds”).

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

In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 8, 2012. 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, 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. They also considered the fact that each of the Market Vectors Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF, Mortgage REIT ETF and Renminbi Bond ETF had only recently commenced operations and therefore had no meaningful operational history that could be used for comparative purposes. 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 also based on their review of information obtained through discussions with management of the Funds and the Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and the May 8, 2012 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, where applicable, the Adviser’s commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of each of the Funds to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each of the Funds from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of time.

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 as of the date of the Renewal Meeting (the “Operating Funds”). In evaluating an Operating Fund’s performance, the Trustees assessed the Operating Funds’ performance based on how well the performance of an Operating Fund tracked the performance of its benchmark index, using a variety of measurements in this regard, and concluded that the investment performance of the Funds was satisfactory. The Trustees did not consider performance information with respect to Market Vectors Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF because, as noted above, the Fund had only recently commenced operations as of the date of the Renewal Meeting.

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 analysis 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 exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). In reviewing the information, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s analysis of any tracking error between each Operating Fund and its relevant benchmark index and concluded that each Operating Fund’s tracking error was within an acceptable range. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that all of the Operating Funds had total expense ratios (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) at or below the median of their peer group of funds. The Trustees concluded, in light of this information and the other information available to them, that the fees paid by the Operating Funds were reasonable in light of the performance of the Operating Funds and the quality of services received. The Trustees noted that this comparative data, while generally helpful, was limited in its usefulness due to the lack of a large number of directly comparable ETFs and, as noted above, the very limited

62

operating history of the Market Vectors Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF, Mortgage REIT ETF and Renminbi Bond ETF.

The Trustees also considered any other benefits received by the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Funds and from providing 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. 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 Asia ex-Japan Aggregate Bond ETF, European High Yield Bond ETF, European Sovereign Bond ETF, Fixed Income II ETF, Global High Yield Bond ETF, Global High Yield US$ Bond ETF, Greater China Corporate Bond ETF, Greater China High Yield Bond ETF, International US$ High Yield Bond ETF and Japanese Bond ETF because none of those Funds had commenced operations at the time of the Renewal Meeting. The Trustees also did not consider historical information about the profitability to the Adviser of Market Vectors Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF and International High Yield Bond ETF because, as noted above, those Funds only recently commenced operations as of the date of the Renewal Meeting. However, the Adviser agreed to provide the Trustees with profitability information in connection with future proposed continuances of the Investment Management Agreements after those Funds had commenced operations. In addition, because none of those Funds had commenced operations, the Trustees were not in a position to consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to each of those 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 8, 2012 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, 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 each Investment Management Agreement is in the interest of the Funds and each Fund’s shareholders.
