Dear Shareholder:
Market Vectors continues to be an industry leader in offering region-specific and single-country equity ETFs. The coverage of the Markets Vectors International ETFs is not only global, but it also stretches across the development spectrum.
Some countries held up better than others against the headwinds that hit the international markets in the first half of 2013, particularly in June.
In general, it was those individual countries with either low, or negative, current account balances that were most affected by the recent stresses.
Source: IMF - World Economic Outlook Database. Not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results or investment advice. Current market conditions may not continue.
Current account balance was, however, certainly not the only factor determining performance. For example, Indonesia, despite its current account deficit, benefited from both active and prudent economic management, and posted positive performance for the period.
When performance varies so widely between countries, it is all the more important to be able to select your spots. The suite of Market Vectors country and regional ETFs gives you the flexibility to do just that.
In line with our philosophy of offering truly investible reflections of a country’s potential, on June 25, 2013, we added the Market Vectors Israel ETF (ISRA) to the Market Vectors stable of international ETFs, a complement in the region to the Market Vectors Gulf States Index ETF (MES) and the Market Vectors Egypt Index ETF (EGPT).
Going forward, we will, as always, continue to seek out and evaluate the most attractive opportunities for you as a shareholder, and we encourage you to stay in touch with us through the videos, email subscriptions and podcasts available on our website (www.marketvectorsetfs.com).

Country/Regional Overviews
Africa
During the first six months of 2013, in line with global trends, mining companies drastically reduced their drilling activities in Africa. This was driven, not least, by the steep decline in the price of gold.1 The two worst performing sectors were, consequently, materials and energy. And within the materials sector, metals and mining contributed most to that sector’s, and the Index’s‡, negative performance. Geographically, however, Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria, significantly outperformed all other countries, producing a positive return, while South African and Egyptian companies were major contributors, with negative total returns, to underperformance.
Brazil
While Brazil started off the year displaying the characteristics of economic, political and social stability of the previous couple of years, by the second quarter the country was facing the start of mass protests over a number of different issues. The economy finished off the first half with a deficit of $3 billion, the worst such since 1995.2 As a consequence, all sectors were down over the first six months of the year. However, it was small-cap stocks in the consumer discretionary, industrials and materials sectors, in that order, which performed worst and contributed the majority of the fund’s negative total return.

China
Headlines on China have been fairly consistent this year, highlighting China’s slowdown as related to declines in GDP growth, inflation and export volumes. As China’s central bank has attempted to tighten credit3 and reduce lending to over-leveraged parts of the market, equities have taken a hit. While no particular sector stood out either positively or negatively, the financials, materials, energy and industrials sectors contributed most to fund underperformance as cyclicals or sectors vulnerable to credit tightening. In contrast, the consumer discretionary, health care and information technology sectors provided some positive contribution. Fund performance for the period was derived primarily from swap contracts on the CSI 300 Index†. Contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2013 are presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Colombia
In contrast with a figure of 5.4% for the same period last year, Colombia’s economy grew by only 2.8% in the first quarter of 2013.4 Growth was hit both by contraction in the industrial sector and a reduction in the production of coal, the country’s second largest export after oil.5 At the start of April, however, the government announced a five trillion peso ($2.6 billion)6 stimulus program to try to kick start the industrial sector. While all sectors returned negative figures, the energy, financial and materials sectors were the worst performers, together contributing by far the most to the Fund’s underperformance.
Egypt
The first six months of 2013 were marked in Egypt not only by continuing political unrest, but also by a worsening domestic economy. By the end of the period, unemployment was running at over 19%, and the country’s foreign exchange reserves had sunk to less than a third of their level before the start of the revolution in early 2011.7 The inflation rate in June 2013 was 9.75%, the highest since January 2011.8 Except for the consumer staples sector (driven by food products), which was very slightly positive, every sector in the domestic market posted negative returns, with financial stocks particularly hard hit. Indeed, underperformance in the financial sector, with its dominant average weighting in the index, contributed over half of the fund’s negative total return.
Germany
While Germany’s economy continues to outperform those of other Eurozone countries, figures for May indicated that, with both reduced exports and industrial output, it may still not be fully ready to pick up speed.9 On the other hand, solid domestic demand and consumer sentiment were evidenced by the strength of imports. Except for stocks in the financials (particularly real estate operating companies and those involved in real estate development) and consumer staples sectors, all sectors produced positive returns, particularly health care and industrials.
Gulf States
In the first half of 2013, the Gulf States, especially its leading members—Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates—continued to avoid becoming embroiled economically in the current turbulence elsewhere in the Arab world. With an eye to the future, Saudi Arabia, five times as populous as all its fellow Gulf Cooperation Council members combined,10 continued in its efforts to move away from being the leading oil-producing state, to building sustainable prosperity and becoming a center for investment.11 In a move positive for the region, in June, MSCI reclassified both the MSCI Qatar Index and MSCI UAE Index from Frontier Markets to Emerging Markets.12 Geographically, Saudi Arabia and Qatar were the most significant contributors to the fund’s positive total return. In terms of sector, financial stocks were the greatest contributors, with industrials providing the only other significant contribution.
India
Toward the end of June, just one day after the Indian rupee hit a historical low against the U.S. dollar, the government announced that, on the back of increasing imports of both gold and oil, the country’s current account deficit hit a record high of 4.8% of GDP for the year ending March 31.13 Economic growth over the year fell to 5.0% from 6.2% during the previous fiscal year.14 On the other hand, over the course of the fiscal year the government turned a balance of payments deficit of $12.8 billion into a surplus of $3.83 billion. Only the energy sector produced a small positive return, with all other sectors contributing negatively to performance, especially the financials, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors.

Indonesia
Indonesia fought with inflation throughout the first half of 2013 and in June, in an effort to support the rupiah, it became the first major economy in the region to raise interest rates.15 At the same time, seeking to support the currency and cut the costs of subsidies, the government supported a revised state budget that led to an increase in domestic fuel prices for the first time since 2008.16 Economic growth in the first quarter was down from the previous quarter and at the end of the first half, the country’s budget deficit was well above its target in the state budget.17 Among small-cap stocks, financials and industrials, through diversified real estate and construction and engineering respectively, provided the major contribution to the fund’s strong performance, with the consumer staples sector as the negative performer. The positive total return of medium- and large-cap names was driven not only by financials, but also by consumer staples, utilities and telecommunications services. Energy stocks contributed the most significant drag on performance.
Israel
Influenced by global equity price volatility over the first six months of the year, Israeli equity performance pulled back slightly18 compared to that of 201219. Given that the fund launched and traded for less than a week before the end of the second quarter, the fund’s positive sector returns were largely in line with their respective weightings in the fund.
Latin America
Small-cap Latin American stocks were particularly hard hit in the first half of 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, industrial and energy sectors. Of all Latin American countries represented in the fund, only Panama, with its average weighting of just under 1%, produced a positive return, while Brazil, with its average weighting of nearly 39%, contributed more than a third of the fund’s total negative return.
Poland
The European Union’s largest emerging economy experienced a more-than-expected slowdown in growth in the first six months of 2013, with the economy coming to a virtual standstill in the first quarter as20 the government reduced spending and consumer confidence sagged. In an effort to stimulate the economy, the government cut interest rates seven times during the period.21 While consumer staples companies produced a small positive return, no other sector provided a positive contribution, with materials, particularly metals and mining, financials and utilities all returning negative performances.
Russia
During the first half-year of 2013, Russia’s economic performance was decidedly lackluster. Growth during the first quarter declined to an annualized rate of 1.6%, a pace not seen since the financial crisis of 2009.22 With the country’s economic power lying in the energy sector, it is particularly sensitive to current negative global trends. More backing for small- and medium-sized businesses is just one possible solution being considered by government officials. Stocks in the materials (particularly metals and mining), energy (particularly oil, gas and consumable fuels) and utilities sectors provided the most significant negative contributions to the two Russian funds’ total returns. And while the health care, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors provided positive returns to the small-cap fund, consumer staples, as opposed to health care, topped the sectors contributing positive returns to the large-cap fund.
Vietnam
Although Vietnam’s economy grew 4.9% in the first quarter of 2013 and 5.0% in the second quarter, this growth was not only low historically, but also lower than the target of 5.5%23 set by the government. In addition, support for growth was provided by a series of interest rate cuts.24 In the middle of June, in order to help businesses, the government voted to reduce corporate income tax. While both exports and imports grew during the half-year, imports slowed relative to the previous trend, not only helping the dong, but also alleviating any potential threat of a balance of payments crunch. Except for a negative return from the only food product company in the consumer staples sector, all other sectors produced positive returns, with the utilities, industrials and financials sectors serving as the leading contributors to the fund’s positive performance.

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. |

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.

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.

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 (6/25/13) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (6/26/13), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns. |
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund reflects temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.
Investment return and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting marketvectorsetfs.com.
Gross Expense Ratio 1.45% / Net Expense Ratio 0.59%
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 0.59% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least May 1, 2015. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.
Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.
The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.
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.

(unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 investment at beginning of period
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This disclosure is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The disclosure is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2013 to June 30, 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.

Note 2–Significant Accounting Policies–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
A. | Security Valuation–The Funds value their investments in securities and other assets and liabilities carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Securities traded on national exchanges or traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last sales price as reported at the close of each business day. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Over-the-counter securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System and listed securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (described below). Certain foreign securities, whose values may be affected by market |
78 |
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. Closed-end publicly listed fund investments are valued at their official market closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Swap contracts are marked to market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty prices or model prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Bonds are fair valued using a pricing service which utilizes models that incorporate observable data such as sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers and reference data and are categorized as Level 2 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. 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. |
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. | 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 period ended June 30, 2013. Details of this disclosure are found below: |
At June 30, 2013, China ETF held the following derivatives (not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP): |
Liability derivatives Equity risk | |
Swap contracts, at value1 | $3,021,528 |
1 | Statements of Assets and Liabilities location: Swap contracts, at value |

For China ETF, the impact of transactions in derivative instruments, during the period ended June 30, 2013, were as follows:
Equity risk | |||||
Realized gain (loss) on: | |||||
Swap contracts2 | $ | 775,638 | |||

Swap contracts3 | (6,183,531 | ) |
2 | Statements of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss) on investments |
3 | Statements of Operations location: Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments |
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 period ended June 30, 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 China ETF, held no outstanding swaps contracts during the period ended June 30, 2013. China 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 period ended June 30, 2013. the average monthly notional amount of the total return swap contracts in China ETF was $36,471,420. Outstanding total return swap contracts for the China ETF held at June 30, 2013 are reflected in the Schedule of Investments. | ||
H. | 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 contracts. Collateral held at June 30, 2013 is presented in the Schedules of Investments. |

I. | Other–Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Transactions in certain securities may take longer than the customary settlement cycle to be completed. The counterparty is required to collateralize such trades with cash in excess of the market value of the transaction, which is held at the custodian and marked to market daily. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date 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 tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in 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, 2012, 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, 2009-2012), 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.
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 June 30, 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 proposed recommendations. As the rules and guidelines have not yet been approved by the Indian Parliament, 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.

Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units, consisting of 50,000 shares (except for China 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 period ended June 30, 2013, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:
Fund | In-Kind Contributions | In-Kind Redemptions | ||||||
Africa Index ETF | $ | 15,431,241 | $ | 6,869,977 | ||||

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.
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 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 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 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 June 30, 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 10-Bank Line of Credit–Certain Funds may participate in a $200 million committed credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Funds at the request of the shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds have agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the unused but available balance. Interest is charged to the Funds at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the period ended June 30, 2013, the following Funds borrowed under this Facility:
Fund | Days Outstanding |
Average Daily Loan Balance |

Vietnam ETF | 61 | 4,236,639 | 1.61 | 9,689,997 |
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 June 30, 2013, the Funds did not have any expense offsets to reduce custodial 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.
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

APPROVAL OF INVESTOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
At a meeting held on June 6, 2013 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees that are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the continuation of an investment management agreement between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) with respect to the and the continuation of the investment management agreements between the Trust and the Adviser (the “Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to the Market Vectors Africa Index ETF, Agribusiness ETF, Agriculture Producers ETF, Brazil Small-Cap ETF, Business Development Company/Specialty Finance ETF, China All-Cap ETF, China Consumer Discretionary ETF, China Consumer Staples ETF, China Energy ETF, China ETF, China Financials ETF, China Health Care ETF, China Industrials ETF, China Information Technology ETF, China Materials ETF, China Small-Cap ETF, China Utilities ETF, Coal ETF, Colombia ETF, Egypt Index ETF, Emerging Europe ex-Russia Index ETF, Energy Producers ETF, GDP Weighted Emerging Markets ETF, GDP Weighted Emerging Markets Small-Cap ETF, GDP Weighted International ex-US ETF, Germany Mid-Cap ETF, Germany Small-Cap ETF, Global Alternative Energy ETF, Global Frontier Index ETF, Gold Miners ETF, Gulf States Index ETF, Hard Assets Producers Extra Liquid ETF, India Small-Cap Index ETF, Indonesia Index ETF, Indonesia Small-Cap ETF, Internet ETF, Israel ETF, Junior Gold Miners ETF, Kuwait Index ETF, Latin America Small-Cap Index ETF, Metals ETF, MLP ETF, Mongolia ETF, Nigeria ETF, Nigeria-Focused West Africa ETF, Oil Services ETF, Poland ETF, Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF, Russia ETF, Russia Small-Cap ETF, RVE Hard Assets Producers ETF, Saudi Arabia ETF, Saudi Arabia Small-Cap ETF, Software ETF, Solar Energy ETF, Steel ETF, Telecom ETF, Unconventional Oil & Gas ETF, Uranium+Nuclear Energy ETF and Vietnam ETF (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 7, 2013. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information the Adviser and Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent third party data provider, had provided to them in advance. The information provided to the Trustees included, among other things, information about the performance (for those Funds which had begun operations) and expenses of the Funds (where applicable) and the Funds’ peer funds (other index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)), information about the advisory services provided to the Funds and the personnel providing those services, and the profitability and other benefits enjoyed by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds. In reviewing performance 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, and certain measures of tracking error for designated peer groups are not available. For these and other reasons, the Trustees noted that the peer group information did not necessarily provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds.
The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreements was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and the May 7, 2013 meeting and information obtained at other meetings of the Trustees and/or based on their review of the materials provided by the Adviser, including the background and experience of the portfolio managers and others involved in the management and administration of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the terms of, and scope of services that the Adviser provides under, the Investment Management Agreements, including, 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 prior to the date of the Renewal Meeting (the “Operating Funds”). In evaluating each Operating Fund’s performance, the Trustees assessed the Operating Fund’s performance based on how well the performance of the Operating Fund tracked the performance of its benchmark index, using a variety of measurements in this regard, including a measure of tracking error that takes into account the fair value of the securities in the index. Based on discussions with the Adviser, the Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Funds was satisfactory.
The Trustees also considered information relating to the financial condition of the Adviser, the current status, as they understood it, of the Adviser’s compliance environment and the Adviser’s views of the Trust’s other service providers.

APPROVAL OF INVESTOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
(continued)
As noted above, the Trustees were also provided various data from Lipper comparing the Operating Funds’ expenses and performance to that of other ETFs. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that, of the Operating Funds, each of Market Vectors China ETF, Colombia ETF, Egypt Index ETF, Global Alternative Energy ETF, Gulf States Index ETF, India Small-Cap ETF, Russia Small Cap ETF, Solar Energy ETF, Unconventional Oil & Gas ETF, Uranium+Nuclear Energy ETF and Vietnam ETF had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) greater than the average and median of its peer group of funds, and Market Vectors Germany Small-Cap ETF had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) greater than the average but below the median of its peer group of funds. The Trustees concluded, however, in light of this information and the other information available to them, including that the Adviser was waiving some or all of its management fee and/or reimbursing expenses for these Funds, that the fees paid by the Operating Funds were reasonable in light of the performance of the Funds and the quality of services received. The Trustees noted that this comparative data, while generally helpful, was limited in its usefulness in many cases due to the lack of a large number of directly comparable ETFs.
The Trustees also considered any other benefits received by the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Funds and from providing certain administrative services to the Funds, and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor for the Funds.
The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser about the overall profitability of the Adviser and its profitability or loss in respect of each Operating Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size, expense ratio and expense cap and noted that the Investment Management Agreements do not include breakpoints in the advisory fee rates as asset levels in a Fund increase. The Trustees noted that the Funds were still relatively new products, which therefore made it difficult to quantify the potential variability in net assets and thus determine the sustainability of any potential economies of scale which may exist. 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 of Market Vectors Agriculture Producers ETF, Business Development Company/Specialty Finance ETF, China All-Cap ETF, China Consumer Discretionary ETF, China Consumer Staples ETF, China Energy ETF, China Financials ETF, China Health Care ETF, China Industrials ETF, China Information Technology ETF, China Materials ETF, China Small-Cap ETF, China Utilities ETF, Emerging Europe ex-Russia Index ETF, Energy Producers ETF, GDP Weighted Emerging Markets ETF, GDP Weighted Emerging Markets Small-Cap ETF, GDP Weighted International ex-US ETF, Germany Mid-Cap ETF, Global Frontier Index ETF, Hard Assets Producers Extra Liquid ETF, Internet ETF, Israel ETF, Kuwait Index ETF, Metals ETF, MLP ETF, Mongolia ETF, Nigeria ETF, Nigeria-Focused West Africa ETF, Saudi Arabia ETF, Saudi Arabia Small-Cap ETF, Software ETF and Telecom ETF to the Adviser because the Funds had not yet commenced operations at the time of the Renewal Meeting. The Trustees could not consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to each of these Funds although they concluded that the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser were appropriate based on the Trustees’ knowledge of the Adviser and its personnel and the operations of the other series of the Trust.
The Independent Trustees were advised by and met in executive session with their independent counsel at the Renewal Meeting and at their May 7, 2013 meeting, as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreements.
In voting to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each Investment Management Agreement are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees further concluded that each Investment Management Agreement is in the interest of each Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.
