Dear Shareholder:

 

We launched Market Vectors’ newest income ETF, Market Vectors Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF (EMAG) (a conversion of Market Vectors LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (BONO)), in December 2013. EMAG seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vectors EM Aggregate Bond Index (MVEMAG).

 

EMAG is the only U.S. listed ETF offering exposure to the four major categories of emerging markets bonds.

 

The Emerging Markets Bond Universe: Total $2,748 billion

 

Sovereign Bonds – Hard Currency $515 billion
Sovereign Bonds – Local Currency $1,165 billion
Corporate Bonds – Hard Currency $1,012 billion
Corporate Bonds – Local Currency $56 billion

In recent years the economies of many emerging markets issuers have improved relative to their developed markets counterparts. As this has occurred, emerging markets issuers have become more creditworthy, experiencing upgrades while some developed markets have seen downgrades, and bond yields have compared favorably to those of comparable bonds from developed markets.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

(unaudited)

 

The suite of Market Vectors Income ETFs can most usefully be divided into three groups: equity income, international bonds, and corporate bonds. Over the 12 months ended April 30, 2014, the performances of individual funds were mostly positive, with only three funds posting negative returns. All three corporate bond ETFs posted positive total returns, two out of the three ETFs in the equity income group posted positive returns, and three out of the five ETFs in the international bonds group posted positive total returns.

Investment return and value of the shares of the Funds will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted.

 

EQUITY INCOME

 

Business Development Companies (BDCs)

BDCs typically lend to, and invest in, small privately held companies. An improving economy and increased lending benefit the industry, as do active buy-out and IPO markets1. Over the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, BDCs posted positive returns. However, they did underperform relative to the broader market as measured by the S&P 500® Index*, which posted a return of 20.44%. One of the drivers of this underperformance was the decision at the end of February 2014, by S&P to exclude BDCs from its U.S. indices2, a decision Russell Indices also took at the beginning of March3, negatively impacting the industry thereafter. The industry ended the period offering a dividend yield of 8.64%4 as measured by the Market Vectors US Business Development Index4.

 

Mortgage REITs

In December 2013, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) announced the start of its “taper” program with a reduction of $10 billion in its monthly bond purchases. On March 19, 2014, the Fed announced the third such reduction of $10 billion, and reconfirmed its commitment to low interest rates5. The last 12 months have, therefore, been an unsettled time for mortgage REITS. However, in the last quarter of the 12-month period, they rebounded strongly6. Mortgage REITs ended the period offering a dividend yield of 10.81%7 as measured by the Market Vectors Global Mortgage REITs Index7.

 

Preferred Securities ex Financials

Preferred securities are considered hybrid securities because they have features of both debt and equity securities. Historically, a company’s preferred securities have offered higher yields than its common stock and senior debt. The Wells Fargo® Hybrid and Preferred Securities ex Financials Index8 excludes traditional financial companies which have been more volatile than other sectors historically. Over the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, all economic sectors of the

non-financial “preferreds” market contributed positive returns, with performance driven primarily by automobile manufacturers, steel companies, and tire and rubber companies. The industry ended the period offering a dividend yield of 6.34% as measured by the Wells Fargo Hybrid and Preferred Securities ex Financials Index.

 

INTERNATIONAL BOND

 

Emerging Markets Local Currency Bonds

Talk in May 2013 of the Fed tapering its bond buying program, and the actual reduction of its purchases from December on was enough to drive negative performance, however, the market turned around in February 2014 and remained positive through the end of April. The J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) family of indices tracks the performance of bonds denominated in the local currencies of 16 emerging markets countries that are quite large and relatively liquid themselves. According to J.P.Morgan, these local governments have continued to evolve tremendously and now over 90% of the bonds in these indices have an investment grade credit rating from at least one rating agency.

 

In terms of local currency, bonds denominated in the Polish Zloty and Hungarian Forint contributed most to the Fund’s total return, while the bonds denominated in the Indonesian Rupiah and South African Rand were the greatest detractors from performance.

 

Latin American Bonds/Emerging Markets Aggregate Bonds

Over the period to December 10, 2013, Latin American bonds offered investors a number of opportunities to invest in both high-yield and investment-grade corporate and sovereign bonds. Two countries contributed positively to the Fund’s total return for the period: Argentina and Jamaica. Brazil and Mexico were the greatest detractors from performance.

 

On December 10, 2013 the LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF converted into the Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF. Despite trading for just over four and a half months, each of the four asset classes within emerging markets bonds – sovereign and corporate bonds denominated in hard and local currencies – represented in the Fund contributed positively to return for the period from inception to April 30, 2014. Hard currency sovereign and corporate bonds contributed most to performance.

 

Renminbi Bonds

Chinese Renminbi-denominated bonds, both issued and traded outside China, constitute what is known as the “dim sum bond market”. Dim sum bonds provide an alternative way of accessing China’s currency and market, rather than non-deliverable forward contacts and/or QFII, which may not be practical. Investors in this market not only receive bond interest payments, but also gain access to China’s currency.

 

The Chinese Renminbi currency as a whole exhibited slightly positive performance. In terms of sector, financial and consumer - cyclical bonds were the best performers during the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, while, as a sector, only government bonds were detractors from performance during the period.

 

CORPORATE BOND

 

Emerging Markets High Yield Bonds

Overall, emerging market corporate bonds continue to constitute one of the fastest growing asset classes and, as an asset class, it remains comparable in size to the U.S. high-yield corporate bond market. High-yield emerging market corporate and quasi-sovereign bonds denominated in U.S. Dollars currently have higher yields than both high-yield emerging market sovereign and high-yield U.S. corporate bonds9.

 

While Argentinian and Chinese bonds were the greatest contributors to the Fund’s total return, Ukrainian and Russian bonds were the greatest detractors. On a sector level, financial bonds were the greatest contributors to total return and, among all the other sectors, only energy sector bonds detracted from performance.

 

Fallen Angel Bonds

“Fallen angels” are high-yield corporate bonds that were once investment grade, but have been downgraded to non-investment grade. They warrant distinction for an embedded value proposition that is not common to all of high yield: Fallen angels tend to have a higher rate of ascension to investment grade than original issue high-yield bonds. The default rate in this segment has averaged 3.71% historically, below the 4.60% average for all U.S. high yield10.

 

The financial, communications, and basic materials sectors contributed the most to return. Springleaf Finance 6.90% bond (2.0% of Fund net assets) and Royal Bank of Scotland 7.64% bond (1.9% of Fund net assets) were the top performing bonds in the Fund. Bottom performing bonds for the same period were, Weyerhaeuser 7.375% bond (sold at the end of June 2013) and Ally Financial 8.0% bond (0.7% of Fund net assets).

International High Yield Bonds

Non-U.S. high-yield bonds, which constitute over a third of the global high-yield market, have continued to provide an opportunity to diversify not only geographically, but also in terms of currency, with bonds denominated, for example, in Euros, Sterling and Canadian Dollars. Europe accounts for over 60% of global ex-U.S. high-yield corporate bond market value, and emerging markets represent about 30%.

 

All sectors, apart from energy, contributed positively to overall Fund performance. Euro-denominated bonds were the greatest contributors to Fund total return, while only Canadian Dollar-denominated bonds detracted from Fund performance.

 

Investment Grade Floating Rate Notes

Floating rate notes (FRNs) are investment grade-rated corporate debt issues with variable coupons that reset to current interest rates, based on a particular benchmark. The coupons on these securities fluctuate with that benchmark. The combination of low average years to maturity, typically in the 1-3 year range, and floating interest rates creates the potential for relatively low price fluctuations. In addition, as short-term interest rates rise, portfolio securities reset to higher yields.

 

The top performing notes in the Fund were A-rated Wachovia Corp. 10/15/16 FRN (2.1% of Fund net assets), and BBB- rated Citigroup Inc. 6/9/16 FRN (1.6% of Fund net assets). Citigroup Inc. 5/15/18 FRN (2.3% of Fund net assets), rated BBB+, and Wells Fargo 4/23/18 (1.0% of Fund net assets), rated A+, were the two bottom performing bonds.

 

Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bonds

The Treasury-hedged high-yield bond Fund tracks an index that combines the more liquid portion of the high-yield universe with short positions in 5-year U.S. Treasury notes. The Fund uses futures on such notes to help hedge against the risk of rising interest rates. Together, the long high-yield bond and short comparable U.S. Treasury portfolios offer a combination of income generation and protection against rising interest rates.

 

The main drivers of returns in this strategy are interest rates and credit spreads. Rising interest rates and narrowing credit spreads positively contribute to performance, while declining interest rates and widening credit spreads detract from the Fund’s returns.

 

Overall, the Fund slightly outperformed unhedged high-yield bond strategies, having benefited from the U.S. Treasury market selloff (rising interest rates) over the Summer of 2013, spurred on by former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s comments on potentially tapering the bond buying program. The Fed’s inaction in September caused Treasuries to rally (interest rates to decline), eroding some of the summer gains. However, interest rates rose in the fourth quarter 2013 while credit spreads continued narrowing, favorably impacting the Fund. 2014 began with a pullback in January, with interest rates declining and credit spreads widening, as news of a disappointing December jobs report and China’s contraction in manufacturing activity negatively contributed to most asset classes. Markets then picked up as credit spreads further narrowed to pre-2008 credit crisis levels by the end of April.

 

Top performers for the period were the short portfolio of Treasuries and a long position in First Data Corporation 12.625% bond (3.5% of Fund net assets). Bottom performers were Nii Capital Corp 8.875% bond (0.2% of Fund net assets) and Ally Financial Inc. 8.0% bond (4.2% of Fund net assets).

Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)

 

 

Commencement date for the Market Vectors BDC Income ETF (BIZD) was 2/11/13.

 

1 The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (2/11/13) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (2/12/13), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

 

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

 

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

 

Gross Expense Ratio 0.81% / Net Expense Ratio 0.40%

Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2014. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.

 

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

 

The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

Effective December 10, 2013, Market Vectors® LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (BONO) changed its name to Market Vectors Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF (EMAG). The Fund’s investment objective changed to seeking to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vectors® EM Aggregate Bond Index (MVEMAG), from seeking to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch Broad Latin America Bond Index (LATS). Performance data prior to December 9, 2013, reflects that of BONO and LATS. Performance data from December 10, 2013, and on, reflects that of EMAG and MVEMAG. All Index history reflects a blend of the performance of the aforementioned Indexes (MVEMAG and LATS) AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR ANY THIRD PARTY USE. LATS is a trademark of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporation, which neither sponsors nor endorses EMAG and makes no warranty or representation as to the accuracy and/or completeness of this Index.

 

Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)

 

 

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

 

1 The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (5/11/11) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (5/12/11), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

 

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

 

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

 

Gross Expense Ratio 1.34% / Net Expense Ratio 0.50%

Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.49% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2015. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.

 

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.

Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2014. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.

 

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

 

The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (FLTR) was 4/25/11.

 

1The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (4/25/11) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (4/26/11), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

 

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

 

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

Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)

 

 

 

 

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

 

1The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (3/21/13) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (3/22/13), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

 

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

 

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

 

Gross Expense Ratio 2.50% / Net Expense Ratio 1.22%

Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2014. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trusteesacts 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.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

EXPLANATION OF EXPENSES

(unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This disclosure is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The disclosure is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, November 1, 2013 to April 30, 2014.

 

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as fees on purchase payments. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2014

 

Note 1–Fund Organization–Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was incorporated in Delaware as a statutory trust on March 15, 2001. The Trust operates as a series fund, and as of April 30, 2014, offers fifty-eight investment portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of the Trust.

 

These financial statements relate only to the following investment portfolios: BDC Income ETF (“BDC Income”), Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets Aggregate”), Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets High Yield”), Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets Local Currency”), Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (“Fallen Angel”), International High Yield Bond ETF (“International High Yield”), Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (“Investment Grade”), Mortgage REIT Income ETF (“Mortgage REIT”), Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (“Preferred Securities”), Renminbi Bond ETF (“Renminbi”) and Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (“Treasury-Hedged”), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”. Each Fund’s investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of its index. The Funds (except BDC Income, Mortgage REIT and Preferred Securities) expect to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve their objectives. Sampling means that Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) uses quantitative analysis to select bonds and other securities that represent a sample of securities in the index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. The number of securities in each Fund will be based upon several factors, including asset size of the Fund. The Adviser generally expects each Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in the index, but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. BDC Income, Mortgage REIT and Preferred Securities seek to achieve their investment objective through a portfolio of securities in substantially the same weighting as their index.

 

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. 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.
87

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Over-the-counter securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System and listed securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (described below). Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date and/or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Short-term obligations with more than sixty days remaining to maturity are valued at market value. Short-term obligations with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee of the Adviser appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Pricing Committee provides oversight of the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value. The Pricing Committee convenes regularly to review the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available. The Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approaches utilized to determine fair value, including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing and disposition analysis.

 

Certain factors such as economic conditions, political events, market trends, the nature of and duration of any restrictions on disposition, trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers and other security specific information are used to determine the fair value of these securities. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these securities may be classified either as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The price which the Funds may realize upon sale of an investment may differ materially from the value presented in the Schedules of Investments.

 

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis which includes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy assume the financial instruments were transferred at the beginning of the reporting period. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2 – Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

 

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

A summary of the inputs, the levels used to value the Funds’ investments, and transfers between levels are located in the Schedules of Investments. Additionally, tables that reconcile the valuation of the Funds’ Level 3 investments and that present additional information about valuation methodologies and unobservable inputs, if applicable, are located in the Schedules of Investments.

 

B.Federal Income Taxes–It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

C.Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders–Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least monthly by each Fund (except BDC Income and Mortgage REIT which are declared and paid quarterly). Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and paid annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.
88

 

D.Securities Sold Short–Treasury-Hedged may invest in securities sold short. A short sale occurs when a Fund sells a security, which it does not own, by borrowing it from a broker. Proceeds from securities sold short are reported as liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are marked to market daily in accordance with the fair value methodology described in Note 2A. Gains and losses are classified as realized when short positions are closed. In the event that the value of the security which the Fund sold short declines, the Fund will gain as it repurchases the security in the market at the lower price. If the price of the security increases, the Fund will suffer a loss, as it will have to repurchase the security at the higher price. Short sales may incur higher transaction costs than regular securities transactions. Interest on securities sold short is recorded as an expense by the Fund on the interest payment date. Cash as collected is deposited in a segregated account with brokers, maintained by the Fund, for its open short sales. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund maintains securities or permissible liquid assets in a segregated account with a broker or custodian sufficient to cover its short positions. At April 30, 2014, Treasury-Hedged held no securities sold short.

 

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. 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.

 

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

 

G.Repurchase Agreements–The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Adviser, to generate income from their excess cash balances and to invest securities lending cash collateral. A repurchase agreement is an agreement under which a Fund acquires securities from a seller, subject to resale to the seller at an agreed upon price and date. A Fund, through its custodian/securities lending agent, takes possession of securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, such securities must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the Funds will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Funds maintain their right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller. Repurchase agreements held as of April 30, 2014 are reflected in the Schedules of Investments.

 

H.Use of Derivative Instruments–The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivative instruments also involves the risk of loss if the 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.
89

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

Futures Contracts–The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure or to hedge against interest rate movement. Using futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate and equity risk as well as the risks that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or government securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin”. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, generally are made or received by the Portfolio each day depending on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts, except that in the case of certain futures contracts payments may be made or received at settlement. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures. Treasury-Hedged held futures contracts for seven months during the year ended April 30, 2014 of which the average market value of the futures contracts for that seven month period was $9,999,433. Futures contracts held by Treasury-Hedged at April 30, 2014 are reflected in the Schedule of Investments.

 

At April 30, 2014, Treasury-Hedged held the following derivatives instruments:

 

    Asset Derivatives
    Interest Rate Risk
Futures contracts1     $29,180  

 

 
1Statements of Assets and Liabilities location: Variation margin on futures contracts

 

For Treasury-Hedged, the impact of transactions in derivative instruments, during the year ended April 30, 2014, were as follows:

 

    Interest Rate Risk
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation):        
Futures contracts2     $29,180  
Realized gain (loss):        
Futures contracts3     $(67,117)  
 
2Statements of Operations location: Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts
3Statements of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts

 

I.Offsetting Assets and Liabilities–In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements or other similar agreements. Generally, the right of setoff in those agreements allows the Funds to set off any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. The Funds may pledge or receive cash and/or securities as collateral for derivative instruments, securities lending and repurchase agreements. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset securities lending or repurchase agreement assets and liabilities subject to enforceable master netting agreements or other similar agreements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Collateral held at April 30, 2014 is presented in the Schedules of Investments.

The tables below present both gross and net information about the derivative instruments, securities lending transactions and repurchase agreements eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, subject to master netting agreement or similar agreement, as well as financial collateral received or pledged (including cash collateral and margin) as of April 30, 2014. Collateral is disclosed up to 100% of the net amount of unrealized gain/loss or market value of the respective financial instruments. In general, collateral received or pledged exceeds the net amount of the unrealized gain/loss or market value of financial instruments. Refer to the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities for collateral received or pledged as of April 30, 2014, as well as related disclosures in Note 9 (Securities Lending) and Note 2G (Repurchase Agreements).

J.Other–Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Transactions in certain securities may take longer than the customary settlement cycle to be completed. The counterparty is required to collateralize such trades with cash in excess of the market value of the transaction, which is held at the custodian and marked to market daily. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or an increase in realized gain. Such amounts are based upon estimates if actual amounts are not available, and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from estimated amounts. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned. Interest income is generally not earned on debt securities in default or upon determination that the income is not realizable.

 

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

 

Note 3–Investment Management and Other Agreements–The Adviser is the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed, at least until September 1, 2014 (September 1, 2015 for Emerging Markets Aggregate), 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 acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) listed in the table below.

*Qualified late-year losses comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31, 2013, and certain late-year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31, 2013 and specified losses incurred after October 31, 2013. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Funds’ next taxable year. For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Funds intend to defer to May 1, 2014 for federal tax purposes the above listed post-October capital losses.

 

The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the years ended April 30, 2014 and April 30, 2013 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 April 30, 2011-2013), 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 year ended April 30, 2014, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Note 6–Capital Share Transactions–As of April 30, 2014, 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, as follows:

 

Fund  Creation Units
BDC Income   50,000 
Emerging Markets Aggregate   200,000*
Emerging Markets High Yield   200,000 
Emerging Markets Local Currency   200,000

Treasury-Hedged   200,000 

 

 
*Prior to December 10, 2013, shares were issued and redeemed by Emerging Markets Aggregate in Creation Units of 100,000 or multiples thereof.

 

The consideration for the purchase or redemption of Creation Units of the Funds generally consists of the in-kind contribution or distribution of securities constituting the Funds’ underlying index plus a small amount of cash. For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:

 

Fund  In-Kind Contributions  In-Kind Redemptions
BDC Income  $26,793,583   $5,966,962 
Emerging Markets Aggregate   6,623,493    19,835,546

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 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.

 

The Funds (except Investment Grade, Mortgage REIT, and Preferred Securities) may directly or indirectly invest in non-investment grade securities, often referred to as “junk bonds.” Economic downturns may 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. BDC Income, International High Yield and Treasury-Hedged may not be able to sell bonds at desired prices and large purchases or sales of certain high-yield bond issues may cause substantial fluctuations in share price, yield and total return.

 

BDC Income invests in business development companies which generally invest in less mature private companies or thinly traded U.S. public companies which involve greater risk than well-established publicly-traded companies.

 

Emerging Markets High Yield, Emerging Markets Local Currency, Fallen Angel, International High Yield, Investment Grade, Emerging Markets Aggregate, and Renminbi invest in foreign securities. Investments in foreign securities may involve a greater degree of risk than investments in domestic securities due to political, economic or social instability. Foreign investments may also be subject to foreign taxes and settlement delays. Since the Funds may have significant investments in foreign debt securities, they may be subject to greater credit and interest risks and greater currency fluctuations than portfolios with significant investments in domestic debt securities.

 

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

 

Mortgage REIT may invest in mortgage REITs that may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value.

 

Preferred Securities invests in preferred securities which are essentially contractual obligations that declare distributions but permit the issuer to defer or suspend distributions. This may require the Fund to account for the distribution that has been deferred or suspended for tax purpose, even though it may not have received this income. Accordingly, preferred securities are subject to credit risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely distributions of dividends. In addition, preferred securities are subject to interest rate risk. Preferred securities interest rates may move in an inverse direction to that of general interest rates.

 

Treasury-Hedged invests directly in securities sold short and futures contracts which are designed to hedge against the price sensitivity of the below investment grade corporate bonds. A risk of hedging is the imperfect correlation between price movement of the securities sold short and the price movement of the Fund’s investments.

 

Certain Funds may invest directly in the Russian local market. As a result of recent events involving Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the United States and the European Union have imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies. These sanctions do not currently impact any of the Funds. Additional economic sanctions may be imposed or other actions may be taken that may adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Russian-related issuers’ held, if any, by the Funds.

 

At April 30, 2014, the Adviser owned approximately 44% of Emerging Markets Aggregate as well as 50% of Renminbi and Treasury-Hedged.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

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

 

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

 

Note 9–Securities Lending–To generate additional income, each of the Funds may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the securities lending agent and also the Funds’ custodian. Each Fund may lend up to 33% of its investments requiring that the loan be continuously collateralized by cash, U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities, shares of an investment trust or mutual fund, or any combination of cash and such securities at all times equal to at least 102% (105% for foreign securities) of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities loaned. During the term of the loan, the Funds will continue to receive any dividends, interest or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned while receiving a fee from the borrower or earning interest on the investment of the cash collateral. Such fees and interest are shared with the securities lending agent under the terms of the securities lending agreement. The Funds may pay reasonable finders’, administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan of its securities and shares the interest earned on the collateral and borrowing fees received with the securities lending agent. Securities lending income is disclosed as such in the Statements of Operations. The collateral for securities loaned is recognized in the Schedules of Investments and the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The cash collateral is maintained on the Funds’ behalf by the lending agent and is invested in the Bank of New York Overnight Government Fund, the Bank of New York Institutional Cash Reserve, or repurchase agreements collateralized by obligations of the U.S. Treasury and/or Government Agencies. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the securities loaned. The Funds bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower of the securities fail financially. As of April 30, 2014, 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 year ended April 30, 2014, the following Funds borrowed under this facility:

 

              Outstanding Loan
   Days  Average Daily  Average Interest  Balance as of

Renminbi   10    345,690    1.59     
Treasury-Hedged   5    122,830    1.58     

 

Note 11–Custodian Fees–The Funds have entered into an expense offset agreement with the custodian wherein they receive a credit toward the reduction of custodian fees whenever there are uninvested cash balances. The Funds could have invested their cash balances elsewhere if they had not agreed to a reduction in fees under the expense offset agreement with the custodian. For the year ended April 30, 2014, there were no offsets to the custodian fees.

Note 12–Recent Accounting Pronouncements–The Funds have adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, as clarified by ASU No. 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” which requires entities to disclose gross and net information about derivative instruments, repurchase and reverse-repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either: (1) offset in accordance with GAAP, or (2) subject to enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreements, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with GAAP. In addition, ASU No. 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. Additional disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2011-11 and ASU No. 2013-01 are reflected in Note 2 to the Funds’ financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of BDC Income ETF, Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF (formerly, LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF), Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF, Renminbi Bond ETF and Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (eleven of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BDC Income ETF, Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF, Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF, Renminbi Bond ETF and Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (eleven of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) at April 30, 2014, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Dear Shareholder:

 

In January of this year, we launched our latest municipal income-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF), the Market Vectors Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF (NYSE Arca: SHYD). The fund is the only ETF which seeks to track an index providing targeted exposure to the shorter end of the high-yield municipal yield curve, specifically the 1- to 10-year section.

 

We believe that market conditions were excellent for the launch of this type of strategy, as the search for income seemed to return in full force at the start of 2014. High-yield municipal bonds presently deliver attractive income potential—all along the yield curve—particularly on a taxable equivalent basis. Additionally, high-yield municipal issuers continue to have historically very low default rates versus their corporate counterparts.

 

As the chart below illustrates, short-duration, high-yield municipal bonds currently have a similar interest rate sensitivity or duration profile as high-yield corporate bonds, with yields up to 330 basis points higher on a taxable-equivalent basis. With its shorter duration focus, SHYD may lessen the impact of rising rates while not sacrificing income potential.

 

 

 

Source: FactSet. As of 4/30/14.

 

The chart displays the yields of municipal bond indices on a tax-equivalent and duration basis and compares such yields to other asset classes as represented by the indexes shown.

 

Taxable-equivalent yield (TEY) represents the yield a taxable bond would have to earn in order to match-after federal taxes-the yield available on a tax-exempt municipal bond (excluding AMT). Municipal bonds are exempt from federal taxes and often state and local taxes. Some portions of interest payments from certain types of municipal bonds may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Corporate bonds are subject to federal, state and local taxes. Prices of bonds change in response to factors such as interest rates and issuer’s credit worthiness, among others. TEY = Tax-Free Municipal Bond Yield / (1-Tax Rate).

 

Index performance is not illustrative of fund performance. Fund performance current to the most recent month end is available by visiting www.marketvectorsetfs.com or calling 888.MKT.VCTR. Historical performance is not indicative of future results; current data may differ from data quoted. Indexes are unmanaged and are not securities in which an investment can be made.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

(unaudited)

 

The 12-month period ended April 30, 2014 was a period of contrasts for both the fixed income market and the municipal bond market. During the first half of the period, the two markets were hit by a number of potentially damaging body blows, including the announcement by former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke that the Fed could slow the pace of its bond purchases as part of a tapering of its monetary stimulus package, and both Detroit’s bankruptcy and some quite acute fears about Puerto Rico’s continuing ability to cover its debts.

 

Toward the end the second half of the period, the municipal bond market, in particular, demonstrated not only that it could absorb such blows, but also had the strength to come back fighting. In December 2013, the Fed announced the start of its “taper” program with a reduction of $10 billion in its monthly bond purchases. At the end of January 2014i, it announced a second such reduction of $10 billion in purchases. However, by the time the Fed announced its third such reduction of $10 billion (while reconfirming its commitment to low interest rates) on March 19, Puerto Rico had, the previous week, already pulled off a “blockbuster”ii municipal bond sale, selling some $3.5 billion in new bonds. And, in an unambiguous reversal from the significant outflowsiii ($5.32B, $4.45B and $9.52B in October, November and December, respectively) experienced by both municipal ETFs and mutual funds in the last three months of 2013, in the first three months of 2014, inflows were $0.38B in January, $1.80B in February, and $1.91B in March.

Market Vectors Municipal Income ETFs Total Return

 

 

Source: Van Eck Global. Note: Market Vectors Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF is not included above as it was launched on January 13, 2014. Returns based on NAV. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and ETF share values will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETF returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted.

 

Short Municipal Index ETF/Pre-Refunded Municipal Bond ETF

 

Among short municipals (“munis”), the state general obligation and education sectors contributed most to the total return of the Short Municipal Index ETF, while of the six sectors detracting from performance, the electric sector was the greatest detractor. In terms of state/U.S. territory, Illinois contributed by far the most to the total return of the fund, while Puerto Rico was the greatest detractor from performance.

 

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

Intermediate Municipal Index ETF

 

Munis from California and New York contributed the most to the total return of the Fund, while those from Puerto Rico were the greatest detractors from performance. The sectors with the largest and third largest average weightings in the index, state general obligation and special tax respectively, were the two largest contributors to the Fund’s performance. The electric and water/sewer sectors were the two largest detractors from performance.

 

Long Municipal Index ETF

 

Only two sectors contributed positively to the Fund’s total return, with the hospital sector being the greatest contributor. Municipal bonds issued by Florida and Illinois contributed the most to performance, while municipal bonds issued by California and Puerto Rico were the two biggest detractors.

 

Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF/High-Yield Municipal Index ETF

 

Despite trading for just over three and a half months, the Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF realized positive performance for the period from commencement (January 13, 2014) to April 30, 2014. While the hospital and IDR/PCR sectors contributed most to performance, the education sector detracted the most. Every single state/U.S. territory represented in the Fund, except for New Mexico, and Puerto Rico, contributed positively to the Fund’s total return, with munis from New Jersey and Iowa contributing the most to performance. Categorized by credit rating, B-rated munis contributed the most to total return over the period.

 

In the High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, however, not one sector contributed to overall performance. While the IDR/PCR (industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue) sector detracted the most from total return, the prerefunded, taxable and special tax sectors detracted the least. Munis from Texas made the greatest contribution to performance and those from Puerto Rico detracted most from performance.

 

CEF Municipal Income ETF

 

Having traded at a premium almost consistently for much of the previous two years, towards the end of October 2013, municipal closed-end funds (CEFs) experienced a narrowing of premiumsiv and a dramatic widening of discounts. The discount on municipal bond closed-end funds hit 10.55% on December 15, 2013. And while by the end of the period under review, discount had narrowed appreciably, it still remained. Since many municipal CEFs use leverage, and leverage has been increasingv, they have tended to see more dramatic price moves then regular municipal bonds, especially when something impacts the market. However, as interest rates have not increased dramatically, the cost of leverage has remained relatively low, which has been beneficial to the municipal closed-end fund market.

Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)

 

 

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

 

1 The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (7/12/11) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (7/13/11), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

 

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

 

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

 

Gross Expense Ratio 0.79% / Net Expense Ratio 0.40%

Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses) from exceeding 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2014. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.

 

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

 

The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)

 

 

Commencement date for the Market Vectors High-Yield Municipal Index ETF was 2/4/09.

 

1 The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (2/4/09) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (2/5/09), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

 

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

 

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

 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses 0.35%

The Investment Management Agreement between Market Vectors ETF Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) provides that the Adviser will pay all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payment under the Investment Management Agreement, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses.

 

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

 

The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)

 

 

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF was 1/13/14.

 

1 The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (1/13/14) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (1/14/14), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

 

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

 

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

 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses 0.35%

The Investment Management Agreement between Market Vectors ETF Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) provides that the Adviser will pay all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payment under the Investment Management Agreement, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses.

 

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

 

The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

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.

Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)

 

 

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Short Municipal Index ETF was 2/22/08.

 

1 The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (2/22/08) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (2/26/08), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

 

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

 

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

 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses 0.20%

The Investment Management Agreement between Market Vectors ETF Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) provides that the Adviser will pay all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payment under the Investment Management Agreement, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses.

 

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

 

The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

2 Barclays AMT-Free Short Continuous Municipal Index (LMT1TR) is comprised of bonds that must be rated investment-grade (Baa3/BBB- or higher) by at least two of the following ratings agencies: Moody’s, S&P, Fitch. If only two of the three agencies rate the security, the lower rating is used to determine index eligibility. If only one of the three agencies rates a security, the rating must be investment-grade. They must have an outstanding par value of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated-date within the last five years, and must be at least one year but less than six years from their maturity date. Remarketed issues, taxable municipal bonds, AMT municipal bonds, bonds with floating rates, and derivatives, are excluded from the benchmark.

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 period, November 1, 2013 to April 30, 2014.

 

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as fees on purchase payments. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (for the six months ended April 30, 2014) multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2014

 

Note 1–Fund Organization–Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was incorporated in Delaware as a statutory trust on March 15, 2001. The Trust operates as a series fund, and as of April 30, 2014, offers fifty eight investment portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of the Trust.

 

These financial statements relate only to the following investment portfolios: CEF Municipal Income ETF (“CEF Municipal”), High-Yield Municipal Index ETF (“High-Yield”), Intermediate Municipal Index ETF (“Intermediate”), Long Municipal Index ETF (“Long”), Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF (“Pre-Refunded”), Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF (“Short High-Yield”) and Short Municipal Index ETF (“Short”), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”. Each Fund’s investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of its Index. The Funds (except CEF Municipal) expect to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve their objectives. Sampling means that Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) uses quantitative analysis to select bonds and other securities that represent a sample of securities in the Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. The number of securities in each Fund will be based upon several factors, including asset size of the Fund. The Adviser generally expects each Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in the Index, but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. CEF Municipal seeks to achieve its objectives through a portfolio of securities in substantially the same weighting as its index.

 

The Funds’ commencement of operations dates and their respective Indices are presented below:

 

Fund   Commencement
of Operations       
  Index
CEF Municipal   July 12, 2011   S-Network Municipal Bond Closed-End Fund IndexSM
High-Yield   February 4, 2009   Barclays Municipal Custom High Yield Composite Index
Intermediate   December 4, 2007   Barclays AMT-Free Intermediate Continuous Municipal Index
Long   January 2, 2008   Barclays AMT-Free Long Continuous Municipal Index
Pre-Refunded   February 2, 2009   Barclays Municipal Pre-Refunded-Treasury-Escrowed Index
Short High-Yield   January 13, 2014   Barclays Municipal High Yield Short Duration Index
Short   February 22, 2008   Barclays AMT-Free Short Continuous Municipal Index

 

Note 2–Significant Accounting Policies–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

 

A. Security Valuation–The Funds value their investments in securities and other assets and liabilities carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Securities traded on national exchanges or traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last sales price as reported at the close of each business day.Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Over-the-counter securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System and listed securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (described below). Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date and/or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Short-term obligations with more than sixty days remaining to maturity are valued at market value. Short-term obligations with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee of the Adviser appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Pricing Committee provides oversight of the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and other
83

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  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. Federal Income Taxes–It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
   
C. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders–Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least monthly by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and paid annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.
   
D. Restricted Securities–The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
   
E. Use of Derivative Instruments–The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree 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
84

 

 

  movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instruments. The Funds held no derivative instruments outstanding during the year ended April 30, 2014.
   
F. Other–Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Transactions in certain securities may take longer than the customary settlement cycle to be completed. The counterparty is required to collateralize such trades with cash in excess of the market value of the transaction, which is held at the custodian and marked to market daily. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or an increase in realized gain. Such amounts are based upon estimates if actual amounts are not available, and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from estimated amounts. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned. Interest income is generally not earned on debt securities in default or upon determination that the income is not realizable.
   
  In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Adviser believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

Note 3–Investment Management and Other Agreements–The Adviser is the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. High Yield, Intermediate, Long, Pre-Refunded, Short High-Yield and Short utilize a unitary management fee where the Adviser is responsible for all expenses of these Funds, except the fee payment under the Investment Advisory Agreement, interest expenses, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses. For CEF Municipal, the Adviser voluntarily waived its fees and assumed certain fund expenses during this period to limit total annual operating expenses to the expense caps listed below.

 

The current management fee rate, expense cap and the amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser for the year ended April 30, 2014 are as follows:

 

Fund  Expense Cap  Management
Fee Rate
  Waiver of
Management
Fees
  Expenses

the Adviser
CEF Municipal *   0.40%    0.40%    $97,486   $ 
 

* The Adviser has agreed, at least until September 1, 2014, to voluntarily waive or limit its fees and to assume as its own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses do not exceed the expense cap, excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering cost, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses.

* Qualified late-year losses comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31, 2013, and certain late-year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31, 2013 and specified losses incurred after October 31, 2013. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year. For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Funds intend to defer to May 1, 2014 for federal tax purposes the above listed post-October capital losses.

During the year ended April 30, 2014 Short utilized $1,523 of prior year capital loss carryforwards.

 

During the year ended April 30, 2014, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment of market discount on tax exempt instruments and in-kind share transactions, the Funds incurred differences that affected undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain (losses) on investments and aggregate paid in capital by the amounts in the table below. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

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 April 30, 2011-2013), or expected to be taken in the Funds’ current tax year. Therefore, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

 

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended April 30, 2014, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Note 6–Capital Share Transactions–As of April 30, 2014, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units, consisting of 100,000 shares, except for CEF Municipal, which has Creation Units consisting of 50,000 shares, or multiples thereof. The consideration for the purchase or redemption of Creation Units of the Funds generally consists of the in-kind contribution or distribution of securities constituting the Funds’ underlying index plus a small amount of cash. For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:

 

Fund  In-Kind Contributions  In-Kind Redemptions
CEF Municipal  $17,127,469   $7,091,726 
High-Yield   14,490,212    268,712,319

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 7–Concentration and Other Risks–The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, as indicated in the name of each Fund. The Adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. The Funds (except CEF Municipal) use a sampling approach in which the Adviser uses quantitative analysis to select bonds that represent a sample of securities in the index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. Each Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers. Investments in municipal securities involve risks similar to those of investing in any fund of fixed income securities traded on exchanges, such as market fluctuations caused by factors such as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices.

 

High-Yield and Short High-Yield invest in non-investment grade securities, often referred to as “junk bonds.” Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. These high yield securities may involve greater risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. government bonds and other high quality fixed-income securities. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high yield securities may be less liquid due to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market and because of a decline in the value of such securities. High-Yield and Short High-Yield may not be able to sell bonds at desired prices and that large purchases or sales of certain high-yield bond issues may cause substantial fluctuations in share price, yield and total return.

 

CEF Municipal invests in closed-end funds that may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. A closed-end fund may be leveraged as part of its investment strategy. As a result, the Fund may be indirectly exposed to the effects of leverage through its investment in the underlying funds. Investments in underlying funds that use leverage may cause the value of the Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if the Fund invested in underlying funds that do not utilize leverage.

 

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

 

Effective September 1, 2010, High Yield, Intermediate, Long, Pre-Refunded and Short adopted a unitary management fee where the Adviser is responsible for all expenses of the Funds. Therefore, the expense for the Plan for these Funds and for Short High-Yield are included in “Management fees”. The liability for the Plan is shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for amounts accrued through September 1, 2010 and in “Due to Adviser” for amounts accrued after September 1, 2010.

 

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

 

Note 9–Bank Line of Credit–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 year ended April 30, 2014, the following Funds borrowed under this facility:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Market Vectors ETF Trust

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of CEF Municipal Income ETF, High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, Intermediate Municipal Index ETF, Long Municipal Index EFF, Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF, Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF and Short Municipal Index ETF (seven of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CEF Municipal Income ETF, High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, Intermediate Municipal Index ETF, Long Municipal Index EFF, Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF, Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF and Short Municipal Index ETF (seven of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) at April 30, 2014, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
