MARKET VECTORS INCOME ETFs
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for income-oriented exchange-traded funds of the Market Vectors ETF Trust for the six months ending October 31, 2013.
Over the summer, when “Taper Talk” spurred the selloff of U.S. Treasuries, hedged high yield outperformed bank loan strategies.
Cumulative Return: Market Vectors US Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond Index
02/04/2013 (Index Inception) to 10/31/2013
Source: FactSet. Data as of 10/31/2013 since 02/04/2013. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Refer to footnotes for index descriptions and disclosure notes.
A long high-yield bond/short U.S. Treasury positioning was more responsive to changes in credit spreads and tended to outperform bank loan strategies when credit spreads narrowed. (However, when credit spreads widened significantly and interest rates fell slightly, hedged high yield underperformed bank loan strategies.)
The Market Vectors Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (THHY), launched on March 21, 2013, combines long positions in the more liquid portion of the high-yield universe with short positions in 5-year U.S. Treasury notes, or futures contracts on such notes. Together, the long and short portfolios offer a combination of both income generation and protection against rising interest rates.
On or about December 10, 2013, Market Vectors LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (BONO) will change its ticker, fund name, and investment strategy, and will be renamed Market Vectors Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF (EMAG). This will reflect its new investment objective, which will be to seek to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vectors EM Aggregate Bond Index (MVEMAG).
With EMAG, we are introducing an efficient means for investors to gain access to a broad exposure of emerging markets bonds in a single ETF. A key benefit of the MVEMAG index is that it has a relatively balanced exposure to both local currency and hard currency debt. We expect that this will allow the ETF to maintain broadly diversified exposure within the emerging markets debt universe, presenting an attractive option to investors who are not able to devote significant resources to researching either currencies or credit ratings.

Management Discussion
The suite of Market Vectors Income ETFs can most accurately be divided into three groupings: equity income, international bonds, and corporate bonds. Over the six months ended October 31, 2013, the performances of individual funds were varied. However, while two of the three ETFs in the equity income group and two of the five ETFs in the international bonds group posted negative total returns, all three ETFs in the corporate bond group posted positive total returns.

Performance information for the Funds reflects temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had the Funds incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. Investment return and value of the shares of the Funds will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted.
EQUITY INCOME
Business Development Companies (BDCs)
As BDCs typically lend to, and invest in, small, privately held companies, they are susceptible to concerns over the creditworthiness of those companies and fluctuations in the capital markets used to finance such transactions. Over the six-month period ended October 31, 2013, BDCs underperformed relative to the broader market as measured by the S&P® 500 Index‡. The industry ended the period offering a dividend yield of 7.76% as measured by the Market Vectors® US Business Development Indexi.
Mortgage REITs
Since mortgage REITs are very sensitive to rises in rates, they were particularly hard hit when interest rates began to rise in May. They continued to suffer until September 18, when the Fed stated that, in the absence of evidence of sustainable improvement in the economy, it would maintain the pace of monthly bond buying, after which they enjoyed a major rallyii and outperformed the S&P 500 that monthiii. Mortgage REITs ended the period offering a dividend yield of 12.93% as measured by the Market Vectors® Global Mortgage REITs Indexiv.
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 yield than its common stock and senior debt. The Wells Fargo® Hybrid and Preferred Securities ex Financials Index excludes traditional financial companies which have been more volatile than other sectors historically. Over the six-month period ended October 31, 2013, the non-financial “preferreds” market was driven primarily by automobile manufacturers and steel. Specialized REITs and electric utilities were the main detractors. The industry ended the period offering a dividend yield of 7.26% as measured by the Wells Fargo® Hybrid and Preferred Securities ex Financials Indexv.
INTERNATIONAL BOND
Emerging Markets Local Currency Bonds
Over the six months ended October 31, 2013, in contrast with developed market debt, emerging market sovereign bonds still offered relatively attractive yields according to the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMG Core Index*. The J.P.Morgan GBI-EM family
3 |
MARKET VECTORS INCOME ETFs
of indices tracks the performance of bonds denominated in the local currencies of 16 emerging market countries that are actually quite large and relatively liquid themselves. These local governments have evolved tremendously and now almost 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 Hungarian Forint and Romanian New Leu contributed most to the fund’s total return, while the bonds denominated in the Indonesian Rupiah and Brazilian Real were the greatest detractors from performance.
Latin American Bonds
Over the six months ended October 31, 2013, Latin American bonds offered investors a number of opportunities to invest in both high yield and investment grade corporate and sovereign bonds. Three countries contributed positively to the fund’s total return: Argentina, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. Brazil and Mexico were the greatest detractors from performance. While the quasi and foreign government sector and telecommunications subsector both posted positive returns, the sovereign sector (with the highest sectorial weighting) was the largest detractor from 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 which, according to the U.S. Treasury at least, is undervaluedviii.
The Chinese Renminbi currency as a whole has exhibited strong performance. Financial sector bonds were the best performers during the six-month period ended October 31, 2013, while bonds in the sovereign and telecommunications subsectors were the only detractors from performance during the period.
CORPORATE BOND
Emerging Markets High Yield Bonds
Overall, emerging market corporate bonds constitute one of the fastest growing asset classes and, as an asset class, it is now 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 had higher yields than both high yield emerging market sovereign and high yield U.S. corporate bondsix. Additionally, high yield emerging market corporate bonds, historically, have had lower default rates than high-yield U.S. corporate bondsx.
While Argentinian and Russian bonds posted the highest returns, and Indonesian and Ukrainian bonds the lowest, on a sectorial level, quasi and foreign government bonds were the greatest contributors to total return and the industrial sector was the greatest detractor 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. 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 3.82% historically, below the 4.41% average for all U.S. high yields. The financial, basic materials and consumer, non-cyclical sectors contributed the most return toward the fund. The only two sectors whose performance detracted from that of the fund were energy and communications.
International High Yield Bonds
International high yield bonds have continued to experience lower default rates than U.S. high yield bonds. Non-U.S. high yield bonds, which now constitute over a third of the global high yield market, have also 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 now accounts for over 60% of global high yield corporate bond market value, and emerging markets represent about 30%. In addition, non-U.S. debt has provided exposure to those regions of the world, for example, the emerging markets, with the highest rates of high yield market growth.
Each of the fund’s three sectors, financial, industrial and utility, posted positive returns, with only the energy and healthcare subsectors in any way detracting from overall fund performance. Euro-denominated bonds were the greatest contributors to fund total return, while U.S.-dollar denominated bonds were the largest detractors from fund performance.
Investment Grade Floating Rate Notes
Floating rate notes (FRN) are investment grade-rated corporate debt issues with variable coupons that reset to current interest rates, based on a benchmark. The coupons on these securities fluctuate with that benchmark. The combination
4 |
of near-zero durationxi 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 floating rate feature is intended to act as protection against loss of principal when interest rates rise.
The fund’s assets are all investment grade credit quality, and the average allocation tends to be toward the lower end of the investment grade quality scale (between A and BBB rating). Approximately two-thirds of the fund’s holdings are further out on the maturity curve than the FRN market is on average, resulting in 2.76 average years to maturity. Because of the higher weightings to longer maturities, the underlying index and fund tend to have a higher yield than they would if weighted purely by market capitalization. The greatest source of positive contribution came from exposure to A- average rated bonds. Exposure to bonds with an average rating of A+ was the greatest detractor from the performance of the fund.
Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bonds
The Treasury-hedged high yield bond fund combines the more liquid portion of the high yield universe with short positions in 5-year U.S. Treasury notes, or futures on such notes, to help hedge against the risk of rising interest rates. Together, the long high yield and short Treasuries portfolios also 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 outperformed unhedged high yield bond strategies, having benefited from the U.S. Treasury market selloff (rising interest rates) over the summer, spurred on by Ben Bernanke’s comments on potentially tapering the bond buying program. The Federal Reserve’s inaction in September caused Treasuries to rally (interest rates to decline), eroding some of the summer gains. While interest rates declined slightly in October, negatively affecting the fund’s performance, credit spreads also narrowed, which favorably impacted the fund.

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (THHY) was 3/21/13.
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 (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 2.72% / Net Expense Ratio 1.63%
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 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.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST
EXPLANATION OF EXPENSES
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This disclosure is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The disclosure is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, May 1, 2013 to October 31, 2013.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as fees on purchase payments. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2013 (unaudited)
Note 1—Fund Organization—Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was incorporated in Delaware as a statutory trust on March 15, 2001. The Trust operates as a series fund, and as of October 31, 2013, offers fifty-three investment portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of the Trust.
These financial statements relate only to the following investment portfolios: BDC Income ETF (“BDC Income”), Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets High Yield”), Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets Local Currency”), Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (“Fallen Angel”), International High Yield Bond ETF (“International High Yield”), Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (“Investment Grade”), LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (“LatAm”), Mortgage REIT Income ETF (“Mortgage REIT”), Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (“Preferred Securities”), 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. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Over-the-counter securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System and listed securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (described below). Certain foreign securities, whose values may be affected by market |

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
direction or events occurring before the Funds’ pricing time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) but after the last close of the securities’ primary market, are fair valued using a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price on the primary exchange on which they trade. 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 Mortgage REIT and BDC Income 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. |
72 |
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 October 31, 2013, 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. |
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. |
73 |
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 movements. 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. Futures contracts held by Treasury-Hedged at October 31, 2013 are reflected in the Schedule of Investments. Treasury-Hedged held futures contracts for one month during the period ended October 31, 2013 of which the notional amount reflected in the Schedules of Investments is indicative of the average volume of the futures contracts for that one month period.
At October 31, 2013, the Funds held the following derivative instruments:

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. |
The tables below present both gross and net information about the derivative instruments, securities lending transactions and repurchase agreements eligible for offset in the Statement 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 October 31, 2013. 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 October 31, 2013, as well as the related disclosures in Note 9 (Securities Lending) and Note 2G.

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, for the Funds to voluntarily waive or limit its fees and to assume as its own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the Funds so that each Fund’s total annual operating expenses does not exceed the expense caps, excluding interest expense on securities sold short, listed in the table below:

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
On December 22, 2010 the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in the pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.
At April 30, 2013, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, as follows:
Fund | Post Effective- No Expiration Short-Term Capital Losses | Post Effective- No Expiration Long-Term Capital Losses | |||||||||
Investment Grade | $ | – | $ | 4,093 | |||||||
Preferred Securities | 8,886 | – | |||||||||

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

For the period May 1, 2013 to October 31, 2013, the net realized gains and (losses) from foreign currency translations were as follows:
Emerging Markets Local Currency | $ | (22,856,256 | ) | |
International High Yield | 3,738,570 | |||
LatAm | (582,463 | ) | ||
Renminbi | 22,676 |
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, 2010-2013), 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 period ended October 31, 2013, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Note 6–Capital Share Transactions–As of October 31, 2013, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units, or multiple thereof, as follows:
Fund | Creation Units | ||||
BDC Income | 50,000 | ||||
Emerging Markets High Yield | 200,000 | ||||
Emerging Markets Local Currency | 200,000 | ||||
Fallen Angel | 200,000 | ||||

Preferred Securities | 50,000 | ||||
Renminbi | 100,000 | ||||
Treasury-Hedged | 200,000 |
The consideration for the purchase or redemption of Creation Units of the Funds generally consists of the in-kind contribution or distribution of securities constituting the Funds’ underlying index plus a small amount of cash. For the period ended October 31, 2013, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:

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
78 |
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.
BDC Income, Fallen Angel, International High Yield and Treasury-Hedged 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 issuers 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, LatAm, 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 purposes, 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.
At October 31, 2013, the Adviser owned approximately 50% of Renminbi.
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. 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 October 31, 2013, the loans outstanding and the collateral received are included in value of securities on loan and collateral for securities loaned, respectively, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Note 10–Bank Line of Credit–Certain Funds may participate in a $200 million committed credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Funds at the request of the shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds have agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the unused but available balance. Interest is charged to the Funds at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the period ended October 31, 2013, the following Funds borrowed under this Facility:
Fund | Days Outstanding | Average Daily Loan Balance | Average Interest Rate | Outstanding Loan Balance as of October 31, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||

Preferred Securities | 142 | 787,177 | 1.59 | 522,473 |
Note 11–Custodian Fees–The Funds have entered into an expense offset agreement with the custodian wherein they receive a credit toward the reduction of custodian fees whenever there are uninvested cash balances. The Funds could have invested their cash balances elsewhere if they had not agreed to a reduction in fees under the expense offset agreement with the custodian. For the period ended October 31, 2013, there were no offsets to 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.
Note 13–Subsequent Events–The Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
(unaudited)
At a meeting held on September 11, 2013, (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees that are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved an investment management agreement between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the Market Vectors Puerto Rico Municipal Index ETF (the “Fund”).
The Board’s approval of the Investment Management Agreement was based on a comprehensive consideration of all of the information available to the Trustees and was not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered those factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors.
In advance of the Meeting, the Trustees received materials from the Adviser, including expense information for other funds. The Adviser provided the Trustees with information regarding, among other things, the various aspects of the Fund’s proposed investment program, fee arrangements and service provider arrangements. The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreement was based, in part, on information obtained through discussions with management of the Fund and the Adviser at the Meeting, information obtained at other meetings of the Trustees and/or based on their review of the materials provided by the Adviser, including the background and experience of the portfolio managers and others proposed to be involved in the management of the Fund. In evaluating the terms of the Investment Management Agreement and the proposal for the Fund to adopt a unitary fee structure, the Trustees considered the risks being assumed by the Adviser under the unitary fee structure arrangement and the potential expense stability that may inure to the benefit of shareholders of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the terms and scope of services that the Adviser would provide under the Investment Management Agreement, including the Adviser’s agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses).
In addition, the Trustees were given data on the exchange-traded fund market and expense ratios of other funds. The Trustees considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreement, that the Adviser would receive from serving as adviser to the Fund, including any it may receive from providing administrative services to the Fund and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor to the Fund. The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser because the Fund had not yet commenced operations. In addition, because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees could not consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to the Fund, although they concluded that the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser were appropriate based on the Trustees’ knowledge of the Adviser and its personnel and the operations of the other series of the Trust.
The Independent Trustees were advised by and met in executive session with their independent counsel at the Meeting as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement.
In voting to approve the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreement are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, the fees paid by certain other funds, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees further concluded that the Investment Management Agreement is in the interest of the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders.
