Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for the six industry exchange-traded funds (ETFs) of the Market Vectors ETF Trust for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2015.

The top performing fund in our suite of industry ETFs was the Market Vectors Retail ETF (NYSE Arca: RTH) which returned 18.63%, for the period under review. Much of its notable performance was attributable to its focus on the 25 largest U.S. listed retail companies.

Large-capitalization stocks were key drivers of RTH’s returns. The Fund benefited from the inclusion, and weightings in the portfolio, of the internet retailer Amazon (12.5% of Fund net assets^†), and home improvement retailers, Home Depot (8.2% of Fund assets^†), and Lowe’s (5.1% of Fund net assets^†). These particular stocks were either absent from or had minimal weightings in (compared with RTH) the portfolios of other similar ETFs.

In the case of retail companies, the Internet has proven to be transformative. While the traditional retail industry could quite validly be described as having been an “early adopter” of the Internet of Things (IoT), there are now an increasing number of different technologies available to be leveraged. These are apart from the increasing use by retailers of “big data” in merchandising decision-making, i.e., deciding what it is that customers are going to buy.

The efficiencies and opportunities offered by the IoT are potentially good news not only for retailers (both traditional and online), but also for the companies that make the cores of many of the devices used by the IoT, e.g., semiconductors. Since it invests in 25 of the largest U.S. listed, publicly traded semiconductor companies, some of these are to be found in another of our industry ETFs, the Market Vectors Semiconductor ETF (NYSE Arca: SMH). We believe SMH continues to provide interesting exposure to the expanding IoT space.

Management Discussion (unaudited)

Three of the six Market Vectors Industry ETFs realized positive performance in the 12 months ended September 30, 2015. The Market Vectors Retail ETF posted an impressive total return of 18.63%, with the Market Vectors Biotech and Market Vectors Pharmaceutical ETFs also posting positive performance.

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.

Biotech

After October 14, 2014 (the day the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 223 points¹in a single day), biotech stocks rose fitfully, if steadily, through the first six-month period. Activity in both licensing agreements and mergers & acquisitions (M&As) was particularly brisk throughout 2014²and there were also some interesting U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) product approvals³during the last quarter of the year. These included Gilead Sciences’ (16.0% of Fund net assets^†) new hepatitis C virus treatment Harvoni, and Amgen’s (11.8% of Fund net assets^†) Blincyto, a leukemia drug. In the first quarter of 2015, M&A activity continued apace with, toward the end of the period, the agreement by AbbVie (not held by Fund) to purchase Pharmacyclics (sold by end of period), for US$21 billion in cash and stock,⁴of particular note. The second six months of the Fund’s financial year essentially saw biotech stocks treading water. However, both the market’s swoon at the end of August,⁵and comments from both Hillary Clinton⁶and Democrat lawmakers⁷at the end of September, hit the Fund hard. Despite this, though, the Fund ended up 8.1% for the 12-month period as a whole.

U.S. companies contributed by far the most to total return, but there was also a small contribution from the Netherlands. Spain detracted from performance, but only minimally. Incyte (4.5% of Fund net assets^†), Pharmacyclics, subsequently acquired by AbbVie (not held by the Fund), and BioMarin Pharmaceutical (4.1% of Fund net assets^†) all made significant contributions to the Fund’s overall performance. Gilead Sciences, in particular, detracted from overall performance.

Environmental Services

Historically, construction and home-building industries have benefitted environmental services companies. However, any upticks there may have been in either construction⁸or home-building⁹in the U.S. this year failed to result in positive performance in the environmental services industry. While U.S. stocks accounted for the majority of the Fund’s negative total return, positive contributions came from both the single French stock in the Fund, Veolia Environnement (sold by end of period), and the single Canadian stock, Progressive Waste Solutions (3.5% of Fund net assets^†).

Gaming

The Fund posted a disappointing decline of 27.91% for the 12-month period. Macau, the world’s biggest gaming hub, recorded a fall in gaming revenues in each of the 12 months of the period under review, with revenues in September—in the 16^thstraight monthly decline—down 33%.¹⁰In addition to Beijing’s anti-corruption campaign, the southern Chinese territory has also been hit by the slowdown in economic growth in China.¹¹Gaming companies operating in Macau were some of the most significant detractors from the Fund’s overall performance. Companies in the gaming business in the U.K., Ireland, and Sweden made the only positive contributions to overall performance.

Pharmaceutical

As with biotech stocks, after October 14, 2014 (the day the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 223 points in a single day), pharmaceutical stocks rose erratically, if steadily, throughout the remainder of the fourth quarter of 2014. By the end of December, the FDA had approved some 41¹²new molecular entities for the year, 17 of which offered a novel mechanism of action in treating a disease.¹³This was 14 more than the 27 approved in 2013.¹⁴

Since the end of the year, news from the pharma market has featured strong M&A activity. In addition to the agreement by AbbVie (4.9% of Fund net assets^†) to purchase Pharmacyclics (not held by Fund), for US$21 billion in cash and stock,¹⁵in March there was also a bidding war which resulted in Canada’s Valeant Pharmaceuticals (3.7% of Fund net assets^†) buying Salix Pharmaceuticals (sold by end of period) for US$10.1 billion in an all cash deal.¹⁶Then, at the end of July, Jerusalem-based Teva Pharmaceutical (4.3% of Fund net assets^†) announced that it would acquire Allergan Generics (4.9% of Fund net assets^†) for $40.5 billion.¹⁷

Right at the end of the 12-month period, however, following the market’s swoon at the end of August,¹⁸comments from both Hillary Clinton¹⁹and Democrat lawmakers,²⁰not least the specific mention of Valeant Pharmaceuticals, hit the Fund hard. Consequently, the Fund ended its latest financial year only slightly up on the previous year. Canada and the U.S. were the two largest positive contributors to the Fund’s overall performance. Companies in both U.K. and Ireland were the largest detractors from the Fund’s overall performance.

Retail

The Fund returned a healthy 18.63% for the 12-month period under review. The first six months of the period brought with it commendably positive performance, anchored in part on total holiday retail sales, including sales for both November and December, which increased 4% to $616.1 billion²¹and were the best since 2011.²²Following a fall in retail sales in both January and February,²³not least because of the cold weather gripping certain areas of the U.S., each month following (except April) through the end of the period under review, saw healthy retail sales.^{24 & 25}

While stores involved in internet and catalog retail and specialty retail made by far the greatest contributions to total return, food and staples retailing also contributed healthy positive percentages to the Fund’s overall performance. The healthcare retail sector contributed the least to overall performance.

Semiconductor

Global semiconductor sales in 2014 hit a new high (for the second consecutive year) with record sales of $335.8 billion, up 9.9% on sales of $305.6 billion in 2013.²⁶Sales in the last quarter of 2014 amounted to $87.4 billion, 9.3% higher than the $79.9 billion recorded in the same quarter the previous year.²⁷Sales in the Americas increased 12.7% in 2014. The three largest categories of semiconductor by sales were logic, memory and micro-ICs respectively.²⁸ Year-on-year global semiconductor sales in the first two quarters were ahead of those in the same periods in 2014.^{29 & 30} Thereafter, reflecting concerns about the global economy, month-on-month global semiconductor sales fell in July and August 2015.³¹In August they were down 0.5% from July, and 3.0% from August 2014.³²Although contributing the most to the Fund’s total return, Taiwan’s positive performance over the period, together with that of both Singapore and the Netherlands, was just not enough to offset the negative performance of companies elsewhere, primarily in the U.S., and the Fund ended the 12-month period down 1.09%.

		Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)
This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund at NAV and at Share Price over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is compared with the Fund’s benchmark.

Total Return	Share Price¹			NAV			MVBBHTR²
One Year		8.01	%		8.13	%		8.31	%
Life* (annualized)		36.63	%		36.64	%		36.88	%
Life* (cumulative)		225.44	%		225.53	%		227.67	%
* since 12/20/11

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Biotech ETF was 12/20/11.

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 (12/20/11) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (12/21/11), 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 1.800.826.2333 or by visiting www.vaneck.com.

Gross Expense Ratio 0.40% / Net Expense Ratio 0.35%

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 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least February 1, 2016. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.

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

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

Index returns assume the reinvestment of all income and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses associated with Fund returns. Investors cannot invest directly in the Index. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

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 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least February 1, 2016. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.

Index data prior to September 24, 2012 reflects that of the S-Network Global Gaming Index (WAGRT). From September 24, 2012, forward, the index data reflects that of the Fund’s underlying index, Market Vectors Global Gaming Index (MVBJKTR). Index history which includes periods prior to September 24, 2012 reflects a blend of the performance of WAGRT and MVAFKTR and is not intended for third party use.

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Gaming ETF was 1/22/08.

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 (1/22/08) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (1/24/08), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

Gross Expense Ratio 1.00% / Net Expense Ratio 0.66%

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 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least February 1, 2016. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.

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

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

EXPLANATION OF EXPENSES

(unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 investment at beginning of period

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

The disclosure is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, April 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015.

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015

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 September 30, 2015, 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: Biotech ETF, Environmental Services ETF, Gaming ETF, Pharmaceutical ETF, Retail ETF and Semiconductor ETF (each a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”). Each Fund was created to provide investors with the opportunity to purchase a security representing a proportionate undivided interest in a portfolio of securities consisting of substantially all of the common stocks in substantially the same weighting, in an index published by the NYSE Euronext or Market Vectors Index Solutions GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”).

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

Fund	Commencement of Operations	Index

Biotech ETF	December 20, 2011	Market Vectors^®US Listed Biotech 25 Index*
Environmental Services ETF**	October 10, 2006	NYSE Arca Environmental Services Index
Gaming ETF**	January 22, 2008	Market Vectors^®Global Gaming Index*
Pharmaceutical ETF	December 20, 2011	Market Vectors^®US Listed Pharmaceutical 25 Index*
Retail ETF	December 20, 2011	Market Vectors^®US Listed Retail 25 Index*
Semiconductor ETF	December 20, 2011	Market Vectors^®US Listed Semiconductor 25 Index*

*	Published by Market Vectors Index Solutions GmbH
**	Effective January 1, 2012, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to September 30.

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 Funds are investment companies and are following accounting and reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.

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

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 direction or events occurring before the Funds’ pricing time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) but after the last close of the securities’ primary market, are fair valued using a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The pricing service, using methods approved by the Board of Trustees, considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to intraday trading in the U.S. markets, based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. The Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, such as, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Fund is open. Short-term obligations with more than sixty days remaining to maturity are valued at market value. Short-term obligations with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are considered to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. 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 each 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 and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually by each Fund (except for dividends from net investment income on the Pharmaceutical ETF, which are declared and paid quarterly). Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually by each Fund. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.

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

E.	Restricted Securities—The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and

	prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

F.	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 September 30, 2015 are reflected in the Schedules of Investments.

G.	Use of Derivative Instruments—The Funds may invest in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivative instruments also involves the risk of loss if the Adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instruments. The Funds held no derivative instruments during the year ended September 30, 2015.

H.	Offsetting Assets and Liabilities—In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting 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 present securities lending and repurchase agreement assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Collateral held at September 30, 2015 is presented in the Schedules of Investments. Also, refer to related disclosures in Note 2F (Repurchase Agreements) and Note 9 (Securities Lending).

I.	Other—Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Transactions in certain securities may take longer than the customary settlement cycle to be completed. The counterparty is required to collateralize such trades with cash in excess of the market value of the transaction, which is held at the custodian and marked to market daily. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized upon notification of the ex-dividend date/rate. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned.

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

Note 3—Investment Management and Other Agreements—The Adviser is the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of 0.35% of each Fund’s average daily net assets (except for Environmental Services ETF and Gaming ETF). The management fee rates for Environmental Services ETF and Gaming ETF are 0.50% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed, at least until February 1, 2016, 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 limitations (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, offering costs, taxes and extraordinary expenses) listed in the table below.

The current expense limitations and the amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser for the year ended September 30, 2015, are as follows:

Fund	Expense Limitations			Waiver of Management Fees		Expenses Assumed by the Adviser
Biotech ETF		0.35	%		$330,219	$	—
Environmental Services ETF		0.55			79,554		14,702
Gaming ETF		0.65			114,837		—
Pharmaceutical ETF		0.35			212,209		—
Retail ETF		0.35			146,310		—
Semiconductor ETF		0.35			215,794		—

In addition, Van Eck Securities Corporation, an affiliate and wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, acts as the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”). Certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are officers, directors or stockholders of the Adviser and Distributor.

Note 4—Investments—For the year ended September 30, 2015, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments other than U.S. government obligations and short-term obligations (excluding in-kind transactions described in Note 6) were as follows:

Fund	Cost of Investments Purchased		Proceeds from Investments Sold
Biotech ETF	$	260,629,958	$	82,435,970
Environmental Services ETF		4,763,462		3,019,591

Retail ETF		28,692,904		10,574,272
Semiconductor ETF		75,594,376		73,808,119

Note 5—Income Taxes—As of September 30, 2015, for Federal income tax purposes, the identified cost of investments owned, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation), gross unrealized appreciation, and gross unrealized depreciation of investments were as follows:

Fund	Cost of Investments		Gross Unrealized Appreciation		Gross Unrealized Depreciation			Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the years ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was as follows:

	September 30, 2015		September 30, 2014
Fund	Ordinary Income		Ordinary Income
Biotech ETF	$	—	$	16,340
Environmental Services ETF		263,000		225,000

Retail ETF		690,116		408,291
Semiconductor ETF		6,554,432		4,956,298

At September 30, 2015, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, as follows:

	Post-Effective– No Expiration Short-Term		Post-Effective– No Expiration Long-Term		Amount Expiring in the Year Ended September 30,
Fund	Capital Losses		Capital Losses		2018		2017		2016

Retail ETF		963,801		55,542		—		—		—
Semiconductor ETF		663,985		383,520		—		—		—

During the year ended September 30, 2015, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to foreign currency gains and losses, net operating losses, deemed distribution on shareholder redemptions and tax treatment of in-kind redemptions, the Funds’ incurred differences that affected undistributed (accumulated) net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments and aggregate paid in capital by the amounts in the table below. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Fund	Increase (Decrease) in Accumulated Net Investment Income (Loss)			Increase (Decrease) in Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)			Increase (Decrease) in Aggregate Paid in Capital
Biotech ETF	$	—		$	(186,132,147	)	$	186,132,147
Environmental Services ETF		(848	)		(1,160,079	)		1,160,927
Gaming ETF		(53,103	)		(952,133	)		1,005,236
Pharmaceutical ETF		—			(70,586,983	)		70,586,983
Retail ETF		66			(25,311,345	)		25,311,279
Semiconductor ETF		(856,319	)		40,766,690			(39,910,371	)

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 all open tax years. The Funds do not have exposure for additional years that might still be open in certain foreign jurisdictions. Therefore, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. However, the Funds are subject to foreign taxes on the appreciation in value of certain investments. The Funds provide for such taxes on both realized and unrealized appreciation.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Note 6—Capital Share Transactions—As of September 30, 2015, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units, consisting of 50,000 shares, 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 September 30, 2015, the Trust had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:

Fund	In-Kind Contributions		In-Kind Redemptions
Biotech ETF	$	456,375,825	$	555,745,243
Environmental Services ETF		1,740,113		3,540,054
Gaming ETF		5,272,791		11,486,733
Pharmaceutical ETF		259,587,570		401,035,688
Retail ETF		317,554,573		214,395,928
Semiconductor ETF		7,511,031,798		7,691,722,323

The in-kind contributions and in-kind redemptions in this table represent the accumulation of each Fund’s daily net shareholder transactions including rebalancing activity, while the Statements of Changes in Net Assets reflect shareholder transactions including any cash component of the transactions.

Note 7—Concentration of Risk—The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, as indicated in the name of each Fund. The Adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Fund’s index. Each of the Funds is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers. The Funds may purchase securities on foreign exchanges. Securities of foreign issuers involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. These risks include devaluation of currencies, currency controls, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, future adverse political and economic developments and local/regional conflicts. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market countries. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. issuers.

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

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

Note 9—Securities Lending—To generate additional income, each of the Funds may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the securities lending agent and also the Funds’ custodian. Each Fund may lend up to 33% of its investments requiring that the loan be continuously collateralized by cash, U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities, shares of an investment trust or mutual fund, or any combination of cash and such securities at all times equal to at least 102% (105% for foreign securities) of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. 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 and/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. 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 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. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at September 30, 2015 are presented on a gross basis in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 10—Share Split—On January 27, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Market Vectors ETF Trust approved a split of the shares for Biotech ETF, Pharmaceutical ETF, and Retail ETF. The share splits took place for shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2012, and were paid on February 13, 2012. Each Fund’s shares began trading on a split-adjusted basis on February 14, 2012. Biotech ETF and Retail ETF split its shares three-for-one. Pharmaceutical ETF split its shares two-for-one.

Note 11—Bank Line of Credit—The 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 September 30, 2015, the following Funds borrowed under this Facility:

Fund	Days Outstanding		Average Daily Loan Balance		Average Interest Rate			Outstanding Loan Balance as of September 30, 2015
Biotech ETF		160	$	1,557,165		1.52	%	$	754,759
Environmental Services ETF		12		372,374		1.51			—
Gaming ETF		127		157,111		1.52			118,050

Retail ETF		193		365,350		1.52			108,233
Semiconductor ETF		213		841,199		1.52			—

Note 12—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 September 30, 2015, there were no offsets to custodian fees.

Note 13—Subsequent Events—The Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

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 Biotech ETF, Environmental Services ETF, Gaming ETF, Pharmaceutical ETF, Retail ETF and Semiconductor ETF (six of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) (the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2015, 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 September 30, 2015, 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 Biotech ETF, Environmental Services ETF, Gaming ETF, Pharmaceutical ETF, Retail ETF and Semiconductor ETF (six of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) at September 30, 2015, 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.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

September 30, 2015 (unaudited)

At a meeting held on December 4, 2014 (the “December 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”), considered and approved an investment management agreement between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “December Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the Market Vectors Morningstar International Wide Moat ETF (the “New December Fund”). In addition, at a meeting held on March 2, 2015 (the “March Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered and approved investment management agreements (the “March Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the Market Vectors Asia ex Japan Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Australia Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Australia Hedged Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Brazil Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors China Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Europe Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Europe Hedged Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Germany Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Global Spin-Off ETF, Market Vectors Hong Kong Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors India Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Italy Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Japan Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Japan Hedged Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Mexico Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Russia Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors South Africa Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors South Korea Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Spain Equal Weight ETF, Market Vectors Taiwan Equal Weight ETF and Market Vectors United Kingdom Equal Weight ETF (the “New March Funds”). In addition, at a meeting held on September 3, 2015 (the “September Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered and approved an investment management agreement (the “September Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the Market Vectors Generic Drugs ETF (and collectively, with the New December Fund and the New March Funds, the “Funds”). The December Investment Management Agreement, the March Investment Management Agreement and the September Investment Management Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Investment Management Agreements.”

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

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

The Trustees considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreements, that the Adviser would receive from serving as adviser to each Fund, including any benefits it may receive from serving as administrator to each Fund and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor to each Fund. The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability of each of the Funds to the Adviser because the Funds had not yet commenced operations. In addition, because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees could not consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to each of the Funds by the Adviser, 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 December Meeting, the March Meeting and September Meeting (as applicable) as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreements.

September 30, 2015 (unaudited) (continued)

In voting to approve the Investment Management Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreements are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees further concluded that each Investment Management Agreement is in the best interest of each Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.

At a meeting held on June 9, 2015 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees that are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the continuation of the investment management agreements between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to the Market Vectors Asia ex Japan Equal Weight ETF, Australia Equal Weight ETF, Australia Hedged Equal Weight ETF, Biotech ETF, Brazil Equal Weight ETF, China Equal Weight ETF, Environmental Services ETF, Europe Equal Weight ETF, Europe Hedged Equal Weight ETF, Gaming ETF, Germany Equal Weight ETF, Global Chemicals ETF, Global Spin-Off ETF, Hong Kong Equal Weight ETF, India Equal Weight ETF, Italy Equal Weight ETF, Japan Equal Weight ETF, Japan Hedged Equal Weight ETF, Mexico Equal Weight ETF, Morningstar International Moat ETF, Morningstar Wide Moat ETF, MSCI International Quality Dividend ETF, MSCI International Quality ETF, MSCI Emerging Markets Quality Dividend ETF, MSCI Emerging Markets Quality ETF, Pharmaceutical ETF, Retail ETF, Russia Equal Weight ETF, Semiconductor ETF, South Africa Equal Weight ETF, South Korea Equal Weight ETF, Spain Equal Weight ETF, Taiwan Equal Weight ETF and United Kingdom Equal Weight ETF (collectively, the “Funds”).

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

In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 15, 2015. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information the Adviser and Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent third party data provider, had provided to them in advance. The information provided to the Trustees included, among other things, information about the performance (for those Funds which had begun operations) and expenses of the Funds and the Funds’ peer funds (other index-based exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)), information about the advisory services provided to the Funds and the personnel providing those services, and the profitability and other benefits enjoyed by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds. In reviewing performance information for the Funds against their peer groups, the Trustees considered that each Fund generally invests in a different group of issuers than the funds in its designated peer group. In addition, the Trustees reviewed certain performance information for each Fund that was not provided by Lipper. For these and other reasons, the Trustees noted that the peer group information did not necessarily provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds.

The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreements was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and the May 15, 2015 meeting regarding the management of the Funds and information obtained at other meetings of the Trustees and/or based on their review of the materials provided by the Adviser, including the background and experience of the portfolio managers and others involved in the management and administration of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the terms of, and scope of services that the Adviser provides under, the Investment Management Agreements, including, where applicable, the Adviser’s commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of each of the Funds to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each of the Funds from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of time.

The Trustees concluded that the Adviser has the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Funds’ portfolios. In evaluating the performance over relevant periods of each of the Funds that had commenced operations prior to the date of the Renewal Meeting (the “Operating Funds”), the Trustees reviewed various performance metrics but relied principally on a comparison of the “gross” performance of each Operating Fund (i.e., measured without regard to the impact of fees and expenses) to the performance of its benchmark index, in each case incorporating any fair value adjustments to the underlying securities. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Operating Funds was satisfactory.

The Trustees also considered information relating to the financial condition of the Adviser and the current status, as they understood it, of the Adviser’s compliance environment.

As noted above, the Trustees were also provided various data from Lipper comparing the Operating Funds’ expenses and performance to that of other ETFs. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that each Operating Fund had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) below or equal to the average and/or median of its respective peer group of funds, except for each of Market Vectors Gaming ETF and Morningstar Wide Moat ETF, which had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) greater than the average and median of its peer group of funds. With respect to these Operating Funds, the Trustees reviewed the amount by which these Operating Funds’ total expense ratios (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) exceeded the average and median of their respective peer groups. The Trustees concluded, in light of this information and the other information available to them, that the fees paid by the Operating Funds were reasonable in light of the performance of the Operating Funds and the quality of services received.

The Trustees also considered the benefits, other than fees under the Investment Management Agreements, received by the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Funds, including any benefits it may receive from serving as administrator to the Funds and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor for the Funds.

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser about the overall profitability of the Adviser and its profitability or loss in respect of each Operating Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size, expense ratio and expense cap and noted that the Investment Management Agreements do not include breakpoints in the advisory fee rates as asset levels in a Fund increase. The Trustees considered the potential variability in net assets of these Funds and the sustainability of any potential economies of scale which may exist. The Trustees also evaluated the extent to which management fees for the Operating Funds effectively incorporate the benefits of economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the Adviser has capped expenses on each Operating Fund since its inception. Based on the foregoing and the other information available to them, the Trustees determined that the advisory fee rate for each Fund is reasonable and appropriate in relation to the current asset size of each Fund and the other factors discussed above and currently reflects an appropriate sharing of any economies of scale which may exist with shareholders. The Trustees also determined that the profits earned by the Adviser in respect of the Funds that were profitable to the Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services received by such Funds.

The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability to the Adviser of Market Vectors Asia ex Japan Equal Weight ETF, Australia Equal Weight ETF, Australia Hedged Equal Weight ETF, Brazil Equal Weight ETF, China Equal Weight ETF, Europe Equal Weight ETF, Europe Hedged Equal Weight ETF, Germany Equal Weight ETF, Global Chemicals ETF, Global Spin-Off ETF, Hong Kong Equal Weight ETF, India Equal Weight ETF, Italy Equal Weight ETF, Japan Equal Weight ETF, Japan Hedged Equal Weight ETF, Mexico Equal Weight ETF, Morningstar International Moat ETF, Russia Equal Weight ETF, South Africa Equal Weight ETF, South Korea Equal Weight ETF, Spain Equal Weight ETF, Taiwan Equal Weight ETF and United Kingdom Equal Weight ETF to the Adviser because the Funds had not yet commenced operations at the time of the Renewal Meeting. The Trustees also could not consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to each of these Funds, although they concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser were appropriate based on the Trustees’ knowledge of the Adviser and its personnel and the operations of the other series of the Trust.

The Independent Trustees were advised by and met in executive session with their independent counsel at the Renewal Meeting and at their May 15, 2015 meeting as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreements.

In voting to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each Investment Management Agreement are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees further concluded that each Investment Management Agreement is in the best interest of each Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:

In the last six months, two additional ETFs have joined Market Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (NYSE Arca: MOAT), as such, we are pleased to present this report for the three Strategic Equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs) of the Market Vectors ETF Trust for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2015.

Sustainable Competitive Advantages

As I mentioned in my last letter, MOAT seeks to track companies Morningstar believes possess sustainable competitive advantages and exhibit attractive valuations. We continue to believe that investors looking to make long-term allocations to broad asset classes, such as U.S. equity or international markets, may find that this strategic approach offers an attractive way to enhance exposure to core asset classes.

In the context of a long-term allocation to the U.S. equity market, the Morningstar^®Wide Moat Focus Index^{SM 1}the index MOAT seeks to replicate—continues to feature an impressive batting average measured against the S&P 500^®Index,²particularly over long-term holding periods. As of September 30, illustrating the success of Morningstar’s process of identifying attractively priced companies with sustainable competitive advantages, the Wide Moat Focus Index had outperformed the S&P 500 Index 62% of the time if held for a year.

International Companies with a Competitive Advantage and an Established Event Driven Strategy

Building on the success of Morningstar’s process of identifying attractively priced companies in the U.S. with sustainable competitive advantages, we decided to create a fund that would, instead, focus on such companies elsewhere around the world.

Launched on July 13, Market Vectors Morningstar International Moat ETF (NYSE Arca: MOTI) joins MOAT in providing exposure to Morningstar’s research on companies with sustainable competitive advantages: “moats”. However, rather than focusing solely on the U.S., the Morningstar^®Global ex-US Moat Focus Index,^{SM 3}which MOTI seeks to replicate, targets a select group of companies in developed and emerging markets outside the United States that Morningstar equity analysts believe have long-term sustainable competitive advantages and are attractively priced at each quarterly rebalance. The index contains 50 stocks weighted equally each quarter.

(unaudited)

Launched on June 9, just over a month before MOTI, Market Vector Global Spin-Off ETF (NYSE Arca: SPUN) offers global exposure to companies spun off from their parents. Employing an established event-driven strategy, SPUN seeks to benefit from the long-term potential of corporate spin-offs to unlock shareholder value.

Spin-offs are generally the result of large companies divesting smaller subsidiaries in a way that may not trigger traditional Wall Street analyst coverage. Historically, this has resulted in short-term valuation disconnects.

The index that SPUN seeks to replicate is the Horizon Kinetics Global Spin-Off Index.⁴It is distinguished from others in the market both by its global developed markets exposure and its unique eligibility methodology. Unlike other similar indices, spin-offs are eligible to enter the index early in their life cycle and remain in the index for five years following their addition. The index is rebalanced quarterly, at which point constituents are weighted equally.

Please stay in touch with us through our website (www.vaneck.com) on which we offer videos, email subscriptions, blogs and educational literature. Should you have any questions, please contact us at 1.800.826.2333 or visit www.vaneck.com.

Thank you for participating in the Market Vectors ETF Trust. On the following pages, you will find the performance record of each of the funds for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2015. You will also find their financial statements. We value your continuing confidence in us and look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future.

Management Discussion (unaudited)

Among the Market Vectors Strategic Equity ETFs, only Market Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (MOAT) traded for the 12-month period. Neither Market Vectors Morningstar International Moat ETF (MOTI), nor Market Vectors Global Spin-Off ETF (SPUN) traded for the full period, having been launched on July 13, 2015 and June 9, 2015, respectively.

Morningstar Wide Moat

For the 12-month period, Market Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF returned -9.41%* and underperformed the S&P 500^®Index¹by 6.76%. The primary driver of underperformance was the Fund’s concentration in the energy sector. Within the energy sector, the Fund’s separate exposures to the two sub-sectors of energy equipment and services, and oil, gas and consumable fuels detracted approximately equally from Fund performance. Consumer discretionary companies also detracted from the Fund’s performance. Top contributing sectors for the period included consumer staples and health care. Within consumer staples, household products and tobacco companies provided the largest positive contributions to return.

Morningstar International Moat

Market Vectors Morningstar International Moat ETF traded for less than three months and has returned -12.23%. During this period, Australia, Canada, and India were the largest detractors from performance. The financials and materials sectors were the two largest negative contributors to the Fund’s total returns.

Global Spin-Off

Market Vectors Global Spin-Off ETF traded for less than four months and has posted a return of -14.16%. During this period, U.S. companies were, by far, the largest detractors from the Fund’s total returns. The financials and energy sectors were the two largest negative contributors to the Fund’s performance.

*	Returns based on NAV. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. 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.

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Global Spin-Off ETF was 6/9/15.

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 (6/9/15) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (6/10/15), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

Gross Expense Ratio 6.24% / Net Expense Ratio 0.55%

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 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least February 1, 2017. 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.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

September 30, 2015 (unaudited)

		Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)

This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund at NAV and at Share Price over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is compared with the Fund’s benchmark.

Total Return	Share Price¹	NAV	MWMFTR²
One Year	(9.62)%	(9.41)%	(8.90)%
Life* (annualized)	10.84%	10.88%	11.39%
Life* (cumulative)	42.42%	42.58%	44.87%
* since 4/24/12

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF was 4/24/12.

The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (4/24/12) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (4/25/12), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

Gross Expense Ratio 0.50% / Net Expense Ratio 0.49%

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 February 1, 2016. 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015

These financial statements relate only to the following investment portfolios: Global Spin-Off ETF, Morningstar International Moat ETF and Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (each a “Fund” and, together, 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. Each Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of its index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the index.

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

	Commencement
Fund	of Operations	Index
Global Spin-Off ETF	June 9, 2015	Horizon Kinetics Global Spin-Off Index ⁽¹⁾
Morningstar International Moat ETF	July 13, 2015	Morningstar^®Global ex-US Moat Focus Index ^SM(2)
Morningstar Wide Moat ETF	April 24, 2012	Morningstar^®Wide Moat Focus Index ^SM(2)

⁽¹⁾	Published by Horizon Kinetics, LLC
⁽²⁾	Published by Morningstar, Inc.

The Funds are investment companies and are following accounting and reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies.

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

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 direction or events occurring before the Funds’ pricing time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) but after the last close of the securities’ primary market, are fair valued using a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The pricing service, using methods approved by the Board of Trustees, considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to intraday trading in the U.S. markets, based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. The Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, such as, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Fund is open. Short-term obligations with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are considered to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee of Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Pricing Committee provides oversight of the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value. The Pricing Committee convenes regularly to review the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available. The Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approaches utilized to determine fair value, including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing and disposition analysis.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

	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 each 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 and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually by each Fund. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.

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

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

F.	Use of Derivative Instruments—The Funds may invest in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell

	financial instruments at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivative instruments also involves the risk of loss if the Adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instruments. The Funds held no derivative instruments during the year ended September 30, 2015.

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 September 30, 2015 are reflected in the Schedules of Investments.

H.	Offsetting Assets and Liabilities—In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting 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 present securities lending and repurchase agreement assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Collateral held at September 30, 2015 is presented in the Schedules of Investments. Also, refer to related disclosures in Note 2G (Repurchase Agreements) and Note 9 (Securities Lending).

I.	Other—Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Transactions in certain securities may take longer than the customary settlement cycle to be completed. The counterparty is required to collateralize such trades with cash in excess of the market value of the transaction, which is held at the custodian and marked to market daily. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized upon notification of the ex-dividend date/rate. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned.

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

Note 3—Investment Management and Other Agreements—The Adviser is the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed, at least until February 1, 2017, (for Morningstar Wide Moat ETF until February 1, 2016) 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.

Morningstar Wide Moat ETF	$	13,000,000	$	4,225,050

Global Spin-Off ETF and Morningstar International Moat ETF commenced operations on June 9, 2015 and July 13, 2015, respectively, and had no distributions during the period ended September 30, 2015.

At September 30, 2015, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, as follows:

During the year ended September 30, 2015, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies, foreign currency gains and losses and tax treatment of in-kind redemptions, the Funds’ incurred differences that affected undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) 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 all open tax years, 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.

Note 6—Capital Share Transactions—As of September 30, 2015, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units, consisting of 50,000 shares, 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 September 30, 2015, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follow:

Fund	In-Kind Contributions		In-Kind Redemptions
Global Spin-Off ETF	$	2,794,979	$	—
Morningstar International Moat ETF		7,311,490		—
Morningstar Wide Moat ETF		1,781,077,395		1,103,135,491

Note 7—Concentration of Risk—The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, as indicated in the name of each Fund. The Adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Funds’ index. Each of the Funds is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers. The Funds may purchase securities on foreign exchanges. Securities of foreign issuers involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. These risks include devaluation of currencies, currency controls, less reliable information about issuers, different

(continued)

securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, future adverse political and economic developments and local/regional conflicts. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market countries. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. issuers.

Global Spin-Off ETF may invest in spun-off companies that have been spun-off from a parent company for a number of reasons, including but not limited to low growth prospects, high capital requirements or an unfavorable capitalization structure. Investments in spun-off companies are subject to the risk that any of these characteristics will adversely affect the value of investments in the spun-off companies. There can be no assurance that a spun-off company will be financially independent or profitable, especially where the company represented a non-core or non-competitive business line of the parent company at the time of the spin-off.

Global Spin-Off ETF may invest directly in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and is exposed to the risk of owning real estate directly, as well as to risks that relate specifically to the way in which REITs are organized and operated. REITs generally invest directly in real estate, in mortgages or in some combination of the two. The Fund indirectly bears management expenses along with the direct expenses of the Fund. Individual REITs may own a limited number of properties and may concentrate in a particular region or property type. REITs may also be subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation.

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. Participating 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 September 30, 2015, the following Fund borrowed under this Facility:

				Outstanding Loan
	Days	Average Daily	Average	Balance as of
Fund	Outstanding	Loan Balance	Interest Rate	September 30, 2015
Morningstar Wide Moat ETF	323	$1,773,981	1.52%	$—

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 September 30, 2015, there were no offsets to custodian fees.

Note 12—Subsequent Event Review—The Funds have evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Commencement date for the Market Vectors MSCI Emerging Markets Quality ETF was 1/21/14.

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 (1/21/14) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (1/23/14), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

Gross Expense Ratio 2.85% / 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 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least February 1, 2016.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015

These financial statements relate only to the following investment portfolios: MSCI Emerging Markets Quality ETF, MSCI Emerging Markets Quality Dividend ETF, MSCI International Quality ETF and MSCI International Quality Dividend ETF (each a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”). Each Fund was created to provide investors with the opportunity to purchase a security representing a proportionate undivided interest in a portfolio of securities consisting of substantially all of the common stocks in substantially the same weighting, in an index published by MSCI.

At a meeting held on September 3, 2015, the Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously approved the termination and winding down of each Fund. Each Fund ceased trading its shares on NYSE Arca, Inc. after the close of business on September 18, 2015. Thereafter, each Fund has commenced liquidation and distributed its remaining proceeds or assets to shareholders (the “Liquidating Distribution”) on October 16, 2015.

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

Fund	Commencement of Operations	Index
MSCI Emerging Markets Quality ETF	January 21, 2014	MSCI Emerging Markets Quality Index
MSCI Emerging Markets Quality Dividend ETF	January 21, 2014	MSCI Emerging Markets High Dividend Yield Index
MSCI International Quality ETF	January 21, 2014	MSCI ACWI ex USA Quality Index
MSCI International Quality Dividend ETF	January 21, 2014	MSCI ACWI ex USA High Dividend Quality Index

The Funds are investment companies and are following accounting and reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.

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

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 direction or events occurring before the Funds’ pricing time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) but after the last close of the securities’ primary market, are fair valued using a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The pricing service, using methods approved by the Board of Trustees, considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to intraday trading in the U.S. markets, based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. The Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, such as, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Fund is open. Short-term obligations with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are considered to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee of Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Pricing Committee provides oversight of the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the

	Funds’ Board of Trustees. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value. The Pricing Committee convenes regularly to review the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available. The Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approaches utilized to determine fair value, including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing and disposition analysis.

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

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

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

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

	Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including each 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 quarterly by each Fund. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015 (continued)

F.	Use of Derivative Instruments—The Funds may invest in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivative instruments also involves the risk of loss if the Adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instruments. The Funds held no derivative instruments during the year ended September 30, 2015.

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. As of September 30, 2015 the Funds held no repurchase agreements.

H.	Offsetting Assets and Liabilities—In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting 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 present securities lending and repurchase agreement assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2015, the Funds held no financial instruments that would require additional disclosure.

I.	Other—Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Transactions in certain securities may take longer than the customary settlement cycle to be completed. The counterparty is required to collateralize such trades with cash in excess of the market value of the transaction, which is held at the custodian and marked to market daily. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized upon notification of the ex-dividend date/rate. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned.

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

Note 3—Investment Management and Other Agreements—The Adviser is the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed, at least until February 1, 2016, 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 limitations (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) listed in the table below.

The current management fee rate, expense limitations and the amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser for the year ended September 30, 2015, are as follows:

									Expenses
							Waiver of		Assumed
	Management Fee			Expense			Management		by the
Fund	Rate			Limitations			Fees		Adviser

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015 (continued)

Qualified late-year losses comprised of post-October capital losses incurred after October 31, 2014, and certain late year ordinary losses. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses incurred after December 31, 2014 and specified losses incurred after October 31, 2014. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Funds next taxable year. For the year ended September 30, 2015, the Funds’ intend to defer to October 1, 2015 for federal tax purposes qualified late-year losses as follows:

	Late Year
Fund	Ordinary Losses
MSCI Emerging Markets Quality ETF	$	33,219
MSCI International Quality ETF		11,220

At September 30, 2015, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, as follows:

	Post-Effective-		Post-Effective-
	No Expiration		No Expiration
	Short-Term		Long-Term
Fund	Capital Losses		Capital Losses
MSCI Emerging Markets Quality ETF	$	760,870		$304,256

MSCI International Quality ETF		163,948		290,079
MSCI International Quality Dividend ETF		267,649		768,727

During the year ended September 30, 2015, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies, foreign currency gains and losses, net operating losses, and tax treatment of in-kind redemptions, the Funds’ incurred differences that affected undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments and aggregate paid in capital by the amounts in the table below. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

	Increase (Decrease)			Increase (Decrease)			Increase (Decrease)
	in Accumulated Net			in Accumulated Net			in Aggregate
Fund	Investment Income/Loss			Realized Gain/Loss			Paid in Capital
MSCI Emerging Markets Quality ETF		$(50,259	)		$(163,083	)		$213,342
MSCI Emerging Markets Quality Dividend ETF		(26,959	)		26,959			—
MSCI International Quality ETF		2,018			(754	)		(1,264	)
MSCI International Quality Dividend ETF		(7,958	)		7,958			—

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 all open tax years, 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.

Note 6—Capital Share Transactions—As of September 30, 2015, 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, 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 September 30, 2015, the following Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions:

Fund	In-Kind Contributions		In-Kind Redemptions
MSCI Emerging Markets Quality ETF		$2,569,911		$2,366,522
MSCI Emerging Markets Quality Dividend ETF		7,457		—

MSCI International Quality ETF and MSCI International Quality Dividend ETF had no in-kind contributions or redemptions during the year ended September 30, 2015.

Note 7—Concentration of Risk—The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, as indicated in the name of each Fund. The Adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Funds’ index. Each of the Funds is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers. The Funds may purchase securities on foreign exchanges. Securities of foreign issuers involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. These risks include devaluation of currencies, currency controls, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, future adverse political and economic developments and local/regional conflicts. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market countries. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. issuers.

At September 30, 2015, the Adviser owned approximately 73% of MSCI Emerging Markets Quality ETF and 63% of MSCI International Quality ETF.

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 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. At September 30, 2015, the Funds had no securities on loan.

Note 10—Bank Line of Credit—The 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 September 30, 2015, the following Funds borrowed under this Facility:

	Days		Average Daily		Average
Fund	Outstanding		Loan Balance		Interest Rate
MSCI Emerging Markets Quality ETF		21	$	339,740		1.51	%
MSCI Emerging Markets Quality Dividend ETF		2		139,572		1.50
MSCI International Quality ETF		2		106,265		1.50
MSCI International Quality Dividend ETF		2		247,177		1.50

At September 30, 2015, the Funds had no outstanding loan balances.

Note 12—Subsequent Event Review—The Funds have evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

* * *

The Trustees concluded that the Adviser has the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Funds’ portfolios. In evaluating the performance over relevant periods of each of the Funds that had commenced operations prior to the date of the Renewal Meeting (the “Operating Funds”), the Trustees reviewed various performance metrics but relied principally on a comparison of the “gross” performance of each Operating Fund (i.e., measured without regard to the impact of fees and expenses) to the performance of its benchmark index, in each case incorporating any fair value adjustments to the underlying securities. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Operating Funds was satisfactory.
