PRESIDENT’S LETTER
October 31, 2020 (unaudited)
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
The level of stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) this year has been almost unprecedented and has had investment consequences. Financial markets have benefited from the Fed stimulus and the case for gold investing has become more solid.
Perhaps the surprise from this summer’s data is that the global economy is doing quite well, supporting the markets, despite the social distancing that we all feel in our personal lives. Important commodities like copper have regained pre-COVID-19 highs. In addition, China’s industrial recovery is pointing to all-time highs in activity, even though consumer activity is lagging a little.
One beneficiary is high yield bonds, particularly “fallen angels”—bonds that have been downgraded from investment grade. In a recessionary environment, some bonds are going to default or be downgraded. Fixed income markets this year generally started recovering after the Fed announced plans to intervene. We have already seen a record amount of new fallen angel bond volume—over $140B as of July 31, 20201—and expect more through the remainder of the calendar year.
Similar to 2016, when crude oil also swooned, we have seen a lot of energy companies become fallen angels, and the fallen angel strategy is buying those downgraded bonds. As reviewed in a recent blog, New Fallen Angel Bonds Drive Performance, these new energy fallen angels are among the top contributors to performance of the fallen angel strategy so far this year. As long as the Fed remains supportive, we believe this strategy should continue to do well.
We do, however, see two particular risks to this scenario: 1) an unforeseen rise in interest rates in the U.S. triggered by higher global growth or other factors; and 2) a bump in the return to full employment. An incredible number of people have been laid off in the U.S. and, regardless of GDP numbers, people are unlikely to quickly return to work at the same levels as the start of the year. Concern may be high enough for policy makers to take additional steps (any of which, however, remain, as yet, uncertain) that may impact the financial recovery.
The investing outlook sometimes does change suddenly, as it certainly has at times this year. To get our quarterly investment outlooks, please subscribe to “Investment Outlook” on vaneck.com. Should you have any questions regarding fund performance, please contact us at 800.826.2333 or visit our website.
We sincerely thank you for investing in VanEck’s investment strategies. On the following pages, you will find a financial statement for each of the funds for the six month period ended October 31, 2020. As always, we value your continued confidence in us and look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future.

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, May 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020.
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 the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in 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 brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales. 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.

VANECK VECTORS ETF TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2020 (unaudited)
Note 1—Fund Organization—VanEck 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 offers multiple investment portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of the Trust. These financial statements relate only to the investment portfolios listed in the diversification table below (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”).
Fund | Diversification Classification |
CEF Municipal Income ETF (“CEF Municipal”) | Diversified |
High Yield Muni ETF1 (“High Yield”) | Diversified |
Intermediate Muni ETF2 (“Intermediate”) | Diversified |
Long Muni ETF3 (“Long”) | Diversified |
Muni Allocation ETF4 (“Muni Allocation”) | Non-Diversified |
Short High Yield Muni ETF5 (“Short High Yield”) | Diversified |
Short Muni ETF6 (“Short”) | Diversified |
1 | Formerly known as High-Yield Municipal Index ETF |
| |
2 | Formerly known as AMT-Free Intermediate Municipal Index ETF |
| |
3 | Formerly known as AMT-Free Long Municipal Index ETF |
| |
4 | Formerly known as Municipal Allocation ETF |
| |
5 | Formerly known as Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF |
| |
6 | Formerly known as AMT-Free Short Municipal Index ETF |
Each Fund’s investment objective (except for Muni Allocation) is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of its index. The investment objective of Muni Allocation is to maximize long-term after-tax return, consisting of capital appreciation and income exempt from federal income tax. The Funds (except CEF Municipal and Muni Allocation) expect to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve their objectives. Sampling means that Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) uses quantitative analysis to select bonds and other securities that represent a sample of securities in each Fund’s respective index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. The number of securities in each Fund will be based upon several factors, including asset size of the Fund. The Adviser generally expects each Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in its index, but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. CEF Municipal seeks to achieve its objectives through a portfolio of securities in substantially the same weighting as its index. The Muni Allocation is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, primarily in VanEck Vectors ETFs that invest in publicly traded municipal bonds.
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 follow accounting and reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies.
A. | Security Valuation—The Funds value their investments in securities and other assets and liabilities 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. Debt securities are valued on the basis of evaluated prices furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date and or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (described below). Short-term debt securities 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 categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Securities traded on national exchanges |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

| are valued at the closing price on the markets in which the securities trade. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Over-the-counter securities not included on NASDAQ 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. The Pricing Committee of the Adviser 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 or other assets. If market quotations for a security or other asset are not readily available, or if the Adviser believes they do not otherwise reflect the fair value of a security or asset, the security or asset will be fair valued by the Pricing Committee in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures. 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, periodic comparisons to valuations provided by other independent pricing services, 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 categorized 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 their 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 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 and the levels used to value the Funds’ investments 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. | Distributions to Shareholders—Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least monthly by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and paid annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. |
| |
D. | Restricted Securities—The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. |
E. | Other—Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned. Interest income is generally not earned on debt securities in default or upon determination that the income is not realizable. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| |
| The Funds earn interest on uninvested cash balances held at the custodian bank. Such amounts, if any, are presented in the Statements of Operations. |
| |
| The character of distributions received from certain investments may be comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the Funds’ policy to estimate the character of distributions received from these investments based on historical data if actual amounts are not available. After each calendar year end, these investments report the actual tax character of distributions. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts are reflected in the Funds’ records in the year in which they are reported by adjusting the related cost basis of investments, capital gains and income, as necessary. |
| |
| 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 Funds utilize a unitary management fee structure where the Adviser is responsible for all expenses of the Funds, excluding the fee payment under the investment management agreement, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses.
The management fee rates for the period ended October 31, 2020 are as follows:
Fund | | Unitary Management Fee Rate |
CEF Municipal | | | 0.40 | % |
High Yield | | | 0.35 | |
Intermediate | | | 0.24 | |
Long | | | 0.24 | |
Muni Allocation | | | 0.08 | |
Short High Yield | | | 0.35 | |
Short | | | 0.20 | |
In addition, Van Eck Securities Corporation, an affiliate 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.
At October 31, 2020, the Adviser owned 13,600 shares of High Yield, 250,000 shares of Intermediate and 24,500 shares of Short High Yield.
Note 4—Capital Share Transactions—As of October 31, 2020, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed at their net asset value per share only through certain authorized broker-dealers (“Authorized Participants”) in blocks of shares (“Creation Units”).
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 (“Deposit Securities”) plus a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the net asset value per share of the Fund on the transaction date. Cash may also be substituted in an amount equivalent to the value of certain Deposit Securities, generally as a result of market circumstances, or when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, or are not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant. The Funds may issue Creation Units in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including, for the benefit of the Funds, a requirement to maintain cash collateral on deposit at the custodian equal to at least 115% of the daily marked to market value of the missing Deposit Securities.
VANECK VECTORS ETF TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited) (continued)
Authorized Participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay transaction fees directly to the transfer agent. In addition, the Funds may impose certain variable fees for creations and redemptions with respect to transactions in Creation Units for cash, or on transactions effected outside the clearing process, which are treated as increases in capital. These variable fees, if any, are reflected in share transactions in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Note 5—Investments—For the period ended October 31, 2020, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments and in-kind capital share transactions) and the purchases and sales of investments resulting from in-kind capital share transactions (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | In-kind Capital Share Transactions |
Fund | | Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |
CEF Municipal | | $ | 10,729,552 | | | $ | 10,575,524 | | | $ | 4,712,645 | | | $ | 13,248,501 | |

Short | | | 43,534,868 | | | | 30,364,662 | | | | 3,537,835 | | | | 1,831,566 | |
Note 6—Income Taxes—As of October 31, 2020, for Federal income tax purposes, the identified cost, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments owned were as follows:

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended April 30, 2020 were as follows:
Fund | | Tax-Exempt Income | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains |
CEF Municipal | | $ | 6,401,122 | | | $ | 87,453 | | | $ | — | |

| | Short-Term Capital Losses with No Expirations | | Long-Term Capital Losses with No Expirations | | Total |
CEF Municipal | | $ | (1,482,521 | ) | | $ | (4,212,192 | ) | | $ | (5,694,713 | ) |
High Yield | | | (13,227,918 | ) | | | (35,524,408 | ) | | | (48,752,326 | ) |

Short High Yield | | | (1,175,566 | ) | | | (3,898,190 | ) | | | (5,073,756 | ) |
Short | | | (307,252 | ) | | | (607,689 | ) | | | (914,941 | ) |
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 recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended October 31, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Note 7—Principal Risks—Investments in municipal securities or in Funds holding municipal securities involve risks, including market fluctuations caused by factors such as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds.
High Yield and Short High Yield invest in non-investment grade securities, often referred to as “junk bonds.” Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. These high yield securities may involve greater risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. government bonds and other high quality fixed-income securities. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high yield securities may be less liquid due to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market. High Yield and Short High Yield may not be able to sell bonds at desired prices and large purchases or sales of certain high-yield bond issues may cause substantial fluctuations in share price, yield and total return.
CEF Municipal invests in closed-end funds and Muni Allocation invests in ETFs that may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. These Funds are dependent on the performance of underlying funds and are subject to the same risks of investing in municipal bonds. A closed-end fund may be leveraged as part of its investment strategy. As a result, CEF Municipal may be indirectly exposed to the effects of leverage through its investment in the underlying funds. Investments in underlying funds that use leverage may cause the value of the Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if the Fund invested in underlying funds that do not utilize leverage.
The respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, which has spread internationally and declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has resulted in closing borders, quarantines, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, loss of life, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The coronavirus has negatively impacted the economies of many nations, individual companies, and the market. This pandemic is expected to have a continued impact in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen presently.
A more complete description of risks is included in each Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
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.
A unitary management fee in which the Adviser is responsible for paying all the expenses of a Fund was adopted on September 1, 2010 for Intermediate, Long, Short, and High Yield Funds, and on November 1, 2019, for CEF Municipal and Muni Allocation Funds. For these Funds, the liability for the Plan shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities represents amounts accrued through these dates. Amounts accrued after these dates, including those from Short High Yield, are presented in “Due to Adviser”.

Note 9—Bank Line of Credit—The Funds may participate in a $200 million committed credit facility (“Facility”) to be utilized for temporary financing for 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 based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the period ended October 31, 2020, the following Funds borrowed under this facility:
Fund | | Days Outstanding | | Average Daily Loan Balance | | Average Interest Rate |
CEF Municipal | | | 96 | | | $ | 353,775 | | | | 1.42 | % |
Intermediate | | | 1 | | | | 1,624,786 | | | | 1.43 | |
Long | | | 10 | | | | 108,626 | | | | 1.41 | |
Short High Yield | | | 32 | | | | 383,333 | | | | 1.40 | |
Short | | | 4 | | | | 394,817 | | | | 1.45 | |
As of October 31, 2020, outstanding loan balances, if any, are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Note 10—Share Split—The Board of Trustees approved a 1 for 2 reverse share split for Intermediate Muni ETF and High Yield Muni ETF. On October 26, 2018 shares began trading on a split adjusted basis. The Financial Highlights prior to October 26, 2018 have been adjusted to reflect the 1 for 2 reverse share split.
Note 11—Recent Accounting Pronouncements—The Funds adopted all provisions of the Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”) that eliminate and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Based on management’s evaluation, the adoption of the ASU 2018-13 had no material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures.
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.
VANECK VECTORS ETF TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
October 31, 2020 (unaudited)
At a meeting held on June 11, 2020 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of VanEck 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 VanEck Vectors Intermediate Muni ETF (formerly AMT-Free Intermediate Municipal Index ETF), Long Muni ETF (formerly AMT-Free Long Municipal Index ETF), Short Muni ETF (formerly AMT-Free Short Municipal Index ETF), CEF Municipal Income ETF (the “CEF Muni Fund”), High Yield Muni ETF (formerly High-Yield Municipal Index ETF) and Short High Yield Muni ETF (formerly Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF) (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”).
The Board’s approval of the Investment Management Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all of the information available to the Trustees and was not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered those factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors.
In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 7, 2020. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information the Adviser and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 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 and expenses of the Funds and the Funds’ peer funds (certain 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 seeks to track a different index than the funds in its designated peer group and, therefore, each Fund’s performance will differ from its peers. In addition, as noted below, the Trustees reviewed certain performance information for each Fund which was not provided by Broadridge and which did not compare each Fund’s performance to the performance of its peer group. For these and other reasons, the Trustees noted that the peer group performance 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 with the Adviser at the May 7, 2020 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 manager(s) 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 the Adviser’s agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Funds (excluding the fee payment under the Investment Management Agreements, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses).
The Trustees concluded that the Adviser and its personnel have the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Funds’ portfolios. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees reviewed various performance metrics but relied principally on a comparison of the “gross” performance of each Fund (i.e., measured without regard to the impact of fees and expenses) to the performance of its benchmark index. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Funds was satisfactory.
The Trustees also considered information relating to the financial condition of the Adviser 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 Broadridge comparing the Funds’ expenses and performance to that of certain other ETFs. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that each Fund had management fees (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver) below or equal to the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, except for the CEF Muni Fund, which had management fees greater than the average and median of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees also noted that the information provided showed that each Fund had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, except for the CEF Muni Fund, which had a total expense ratio greater than the average and median of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees noted that, although the CEF Muni Fund had

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
October 31, 2020 (unaudited) (continued)
above average fees compared to its peer group, the only peer fund with a similar strategy of investing in closed-end municipal funds had a higher fee. The Trustees concluded, in light of this information and the other information available to them, that the fees paid by the Funds were reasonable in light of the performance of the Funds and the quality of services received.
The Trustees also considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreements, received by the Adviser from serving as adviser to 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 Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size and expense ratio 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 volatility of the asset classes in which certain of the Funds invest, potential variability in the net assets of these Funds and the sustainability of any potential economies of scale which may exist given where fees are currently set. The Trustees also evaluated the extent to which management fees for the Funds effectively incorporate the benefits of economies of scale. The Trustees also considered the risks being assumed by the Adviser under the unitary fee structure arrangement and the potential expense stability that may inure to the benefit of shareholders of the Funds. 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 that the advisory fee rate for each Fund currently reflects an appropriate sharing with shareholders of any economies of scale which may exist. The Trustees also determined that the profits earned by the Adviser with respect to 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 Independent Trustees were advised by and met in executive session with their independent counsel at the Renewal Meeting and at their May 7, 2020 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, at the time of their considerations, each Investment Management Agreement is in the best interest of each Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.
VanEck Vectors Muni Allocation ETF
At a meeting held on June 11, 2020 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of VanEck 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 agreement between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the VanEck Vectors Muni Allocation ETF (formerly Municipal Allocation ETF) (the “Fund”).
The Board’s approval of the Investment Management Agreement was based on a comprehensive consideration of all of the information available to the Trustees and was not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered those factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors.
In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 7, 2020. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information that the Adviser and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 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 and expenses of the Fund and the Fund’s peer funds (certain other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)), information about the advisory services provided to the Fund 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 Fund. In addition, as noted below, the Trustees reviewed certain performance information for the Fund which was not provided by Broadridge and which did not compare the Fund’s performance to the performance of its peer group. For these and other reasons, the Trustees noted that the peer group performance information did not necessarily provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Fund.
The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreement was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and with the Adviser at the May 7, 2020 meeting regarding the management of the Fund 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 Fund. The Trustees considered the terms of, and scope of services that the Adviser provides under, the Investment Management Agreement, including the Adviser’s agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Fund (excluding the fee payment under the Investment Management Agreement, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses).
In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees reviewed various performance metrics, including various data from Broadridge comparing the Fund’s performance to that of certain other ETFs. The Trustees also considered information from the Adviser regarding performance of the Fund against its benchmark and the Adviser’s statement that the Fund’s performance against its benchmark is more relevant than performance against its peer group, given the small number of funds with directly competing strategies. The Trustees noted that the Fund had underperformed its benchmark for the period from its inception on May 16, 2019 through May 27, 2020, as well as the unusual market environment during a portion of this relatively short period. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Adviser and its personnel have the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Fund’s portfolio.
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 Broadridge comparing the Fund’s expenses and performance to that of certain other ETFs. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that the Fund had management fees below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees also noted that the information provided showed that the Fund had a total expense ratio below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees concluded, in light of this information and the other information available to them, that the fees paid by the Fund were reasonable in light of the performance of the Fund and the quality of services received.
The Trustees also considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreement, received by the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Fund.
The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser about the overall profitability of the Adviser and the fact that the Adviser did not earn any profits from managing the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s asset size and expense ratio and noted that the Investment Management Agreement does not include breakpoints in the advisory fee rates as asset levels in the Fund increase. The Trustees considered the volatility of the asset classes in which the Fund invests, potential variability in the net assets of the Fund and the sustainability of any potential economies of scale which may exist given where fees are currently set. The Trustees also evaluated the extent to which management fees for the Fund effectively incorporate the benefits of economies of scale. The Trustees also considered the risks being assumed by the Adviser under the unitary fee structure arrangement and the potential expense stability that may inure to the benefit of shareholders. Based on the foregoing and the other information available to them, the Trustees determined that the advisory fee rate for the Fund is reasonable and appropriate in relation to the current asset size of the Fund and the other factors discussed above and that the advisory fee rate for the Fund currently reflects an appropriate sharing with shareholders of any economies of scale which may exist.

In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 7, 2020. At that meeting, the Trustees received materials from the Adviser. The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreement was based, in part, on information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and with the Adviser at the May 7, 2020 meeting regarding the proposed management of the Fund 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 proposed to be involved in the management and administration of the Fund. In evaluating the terms of the Investment Management Agreement at the Renewal Meeting and the May 7, 2020 meeting, the Trustees considered the terms and scope of services that the Adviser would provide under the Investment Management Agreement, including the Adviser’s agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Fund (excluding the fee payment under the Investment Management Agreement, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses). The Trustees concluded that the Adviser and its personnel have the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Fund’s portfolio.
The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser because the Fund has not yet commenced operations. The Trustees could not consider the historical performance or actual management fees or operating expenses of, or the quality of services previously provided to, the Fund 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 Renewal Meeting and at their May 7, 2020 meeting as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement.
In voting to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreement are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
October 31, 2020 (unaudited)
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
The level of stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) this year has been almost unprecedented and has had investment consequences. Financial markets have benefited from the Fed stimulus and the case for gold investing has become more solid.
Perhaps the surprise from this summer’s data is that the global economy is doing quite well, supporting the markets, despite the social distancing that we all feel in our personal lives. Important commodities like copper have regained pre-COVID-19 highs. In addition, China’s industrial recovery is pointing to all-time highs in activity, even though consumer activity is lagging a little.
One beneficiary is high yield bonds, particularly “fallen angels”—bonds that have been downgraded from investment grade. In a recessionary environment, some bonds are going to default or be downgraded. Fixed income markets this year generally started recovering after the Fed announced plans to intervene. We have already seen a record amount of new fallen angel bond volume—over $140B as of July 31, 20201—and expect more through the remainder of the calendar year.
Similar to 2016, when crude oil also swooned, we have seen a lot of energy companies become fallen angels, and the fallen angel strategy is buying those downgraded bonds. As reviewed in a recent blog, New Fallen Angel Bonds Drive Performance, these new energy fallen angels are among the top contributors to performance of the fallen angel strategy so far this year. As long as the Fed remains supportive, we believe this strategy should continue to do well.
We do, however, see two particular risks to this scenario: 1) an unforeseen rise in interest rates in the U.S. triggered by higher global growth or other factors; and 2) a bump in the return to full employment. An incredible number of people have been laid off in the U.S. and, regardless of GDP numbers, people are unlikely to quickly return to work at the same levels as the start of the year. Concern may be high enough for policy makers to take additional steps (any of which, however, remain, as yet, uncertain) that may impact the financial recovery.
The investing outlook sometimes does change suddenly, as it certainly has at times this year. To get our quarterly investment outlooks, please subscribe to “Investment Outlook” on vaneck.com. Should you have any questions regarding fund performance, please contact us at 800.826.2333 or visit our website.
We sincerely thank you for investing in VanEck’s investment strategies. On the following pages, you will find a financial statement for each of the funds for the six month period ended October 31, 2020. As always, we value your continued confidence in us and look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future.

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, May 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020.
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 the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in 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 brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales. 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.

VANECK VECTORS ETF TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2020 (unaudited)
Note 1—Fund Organization—VanEck 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 offers multiple investment portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of the Trust. These financial statements relate only to the investment portfolios listed in the diversification table below (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”).
Fund | Diversification Classification |
BDC Income ETF (“BDC Income”) | Diversified |
ChinaAMC China Bond ETF (“ChinaAMC China Bond”) | Non-Diversified |
Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets Aggregate”) | Non-Diversified |
Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets High Yield”) | Diversified |
Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (“Fallen Angel”) | Diversified |
Green Bond ETF (“Green Bond”) | Non-Diversified |
International High Yield Bond ETF (“International High Yield”) | Diversified |
Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (“Floating Rate”) | Non-Diversified |
J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF (“J.P. Morgan EM”) | Non-Diversified |
Mortgage REIT Income ETF (“Mortgage REIT”) | Non-Diversified |
Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (“Preferred Securities”) | Non-Diversified |
Each Fund’s investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of its index. The Funds (except BDC Income, Mortgage REIT and Preferred Securities) expect to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve their objectives. Sampling means that Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) uses quantitative analysis to select bonds and other securities that represent a sample of securities in the index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. The number of securities in each Fund will be based upon several factors, including asset size of the Fund. The Adviser generally expects each Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in the index, but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”) is the sub-adviser to ChinaAMC China Bond. ChinaAMC China Bond seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in bonds issued in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) via the Sub-Adviser. BDC Income, Mortgage REIT and Preferred Securities each seek to achieve their investment objective through a portfolio of securities in substantially the same weighting as their index.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies.
A. | Security Valuation—The Funds value their investments in securities and other assets and liabilities 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. Debt securities are valued on the basis of evaluated prices furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date and or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (described below). Short-term debt securities 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 categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Securities traded on national exchanges are valued at the closing price on the markets in which the securities trade. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Securities traded on national exchanges are valued at the closing price on the markets in which the securities trade. Over-the-counter securities not included on NASDAQ 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. |
VANECK VECTORS ETF TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited) (continued)
| The Pricing Committee of the Adviser 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 or other assets. If market quotations for a security or other asset are not readily available, or if the Adviser believes they do not otherwise reflect the fair value of a security or asset, the security or asset will be fair valued by the Pricing Committee in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures. 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, periodic comparisons to valuations provided by other independent pricing services, 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 categorized 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 their 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 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 and the levels used to value the Funds’ investments 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 net investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. |
| |
C. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders—Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least monthly by each Fund (except BDC Income and Mortgage REIT, which are declared and paid quarterly). Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are generally 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 as quoted by one or more sources. 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. Such amounts are included with the net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities in the Statements of Operations. 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) and net |
| change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 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. | Warrants—The Funds may invest in warrants whose values are linked to indices or underlying instruments. The Funds may use these warrants to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Warrants may be more volatile than their linked indices or underlying instruments. Potential losses are limited to the amount of the original investment. Warrants are obligations of the issuer and are not secured by any collateral. Warrants may be exercised by the Funds during the exercise period. If not exercised prior to the last day of the exercise period, the warrants will be automatically exercised on that day. Warrants held at October 31, 2020, if any, are reflected in the Schedules of Investments. |
| |
G. | 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 offset in those agreements allows the Funds to offset 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 and securities lending. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds present securities lending assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cash collateral received for securities lending in the form of money market fund investments, if any, at October 31, 2020 is presented in the Schedules of Investments and in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is disclosed in Note 9 (Securities Lending). |
| |
H. | Other—Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned. Interest income is generally not earned on debt securities in default or upon determination that the income is not realizable. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| |
| The Funds earn interest income on uninvested cash balances held at the custodian bank. Such amounts, if any, are presented as interest income in the Statements of Operations. |
| |
| The character of distributions received from certain investments may be comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the Funds’ policy to estimate the character of distributions received from these investments based on historical data if actual amounts are not available. After each calendar year end, these investments report the actual tax character of distributions. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts are reflected in the Funds’ records in the year in which they are reported by adjusting the related cost basis of investments, capital gains and income, as necessary. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| At October 31, 2020, ChinaAMC China Bond included $1,909 in cash denominated in foreign currency, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities which represents foreign investor minimum settlement reserve funds required by China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited. |
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, until at least September 1, 2021, to waive management fees and assume expenses to prevent each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding the expense limitations listed in the table below.

Refer to the Statements of Operations for amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser.
In addition, Van Eck Securities Corporation, an affiliate 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—Capital Share Transactions—As of October 31, 2020, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed at their net asset value per share only through certain authorized broker-dealers (“Authorized Participants”) in blocks of shares (“Creation Units”).
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 (“Deposit Securities”) plus a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the net asset value per share of the Fund on the transaction date. Cash may also be substituted in an amount equivalent to the value of certain Deposit Securities, generally as a result of market circumstances, or when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, or are not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant. The Funds may issue Creation Units in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including, for the benefit of the Funds, a requirement to maintain cash collateral on deposit at the custodian equal to at least 115% of the daily marked to market value of the missing Deposit Securities.
Authorized Participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay transaction fees directly to the transfer agent. In addition, the Funds may impose certain variable fees for creations and redemptions with respect to transactions in Creation Units for cash, or on transactions effected outside the clearing process, which are treated as increases in capital. These variable fees, if any, are reflected in share transactions in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Note 5—Investments—For the period ended October 31, 2020, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments and in-kind capital share transactions) and the purchases and sales of investments resulting from in-kind capital share transactions (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

Realized gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments and other foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities result in permanent book to tax differences, which may affect the tax character of distributions and undistributed net investment income at the end of the Funds’ fiscal year and may result in a tax return of capital. For the period May 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020, the net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency translations were as follows:

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained assuming examination by applicable tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on return filings for 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 period ended October 31, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Prior to November 2018, there were uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing the taxation of interest income on corporate bonds due to the lack of formal guidance from the PRC’s tax authorities. China generally imposes withholding tax (“WHT”) at a rate of 10% (which may be reduced by the double taxation agreement/arrangement) on interest income derived by nonresidents in the Chinese corporate bond market, including Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“QFII”) and Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“RQFIIs”).
On November 7, 2018, the PRC issued guidance (Circular 108) clarifying that nonresidents (including QFIIs, and RQFIIs) are exempted from withholding income tax and value added tax with respect to bond interest income derived in the Chinese domestic bond market from November 7, 2018 to November 6, 2021.
Additionally, under the PRC Corporate Income Tax regime, China also imposes WHT at a rate of 10% (subject to treaty relief) on PRC-sourced capital gains derived by nonresident enterprises, provided that the nonresident enterprises (i) do not have places of business, establishments or permanent establishments in the PRC; and (ii) are not PRC tax resident enterprises. However, capital gains derived by a nonresident pursuant to an RQFII license from the transfer of bonds issued by PRC entities are considered to be non PRC-sourced and therefore not subject to WHT.
PRC rules for taxation of RQFIIs (and QFIIs) are evolving and future tax guidance issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation and/or PRC Ministry of Finance may apply retroactively regarding the tax treatment of capital gains derived from the transfer of Chinese bonds by nonresidents, even if such rules are adverse to ChinaAMC China Bond and its shareholders. If the PRC tax authorities were to issue differing formal guidance or tax rules regarding capital gains from Chinese Bonds to RQFIIs, such as the Sub-Adviser, and begin collecting WHT, ChinaAMC China Bond could be subject to WHT liability. The impact of any such tax liability on ChinaAMC China Bond’s return could be substantial. ChinaAMC China Bond may also be liable to the Sub-Adviser for any tax that is imposed on the Sub-Adviser by the PRC with respect to its investments.
Note 7—Principal Risks—Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds (see Note 1) and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers.
Investments in bonds or in Funds holding bonds involve risks including market fluctuations caused by factors such as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices.
The Funds (except BDC Income, ChinaAMC China Bond, Floating Rate, Mortgage REIT and Preferred Securities) may directly or indirectly invest in non-investment grade securities, often referred to as “junk bonds.” Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. These high yield securities may involve greater risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. government bonds and other high quality fixed-income securities. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high yield securities may be less liquid to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market. These Funds may not be able to sell bonds at desired prices and large purchases or sales of certain high-yield bond issues may cause substantial fluctuations in share price, yield and total return.
BDC Income invests in business development companies which generally invest in less mature private companies or thinly traded U.S. public companies which involve greater risk than well-established publicly-traded companies.
ChinaAMC China Bond, Emerging Markets Aggregate, Emerging Markets High Yield, Fallen Angel, Green Bond, International High Yield, Floating Rate and J.P. Morgan EM invest in foreign securities. Investments in foreign securities may involve a greater degree of risk than investments in domestic securities due to political, economic or social instability. Foreign investments may also be subject to foreign taxes and settlement delays. Since the Funds may have significant investments in foreign debt securities, they may be subject to greater credit and interest risks and greater currency fluctuations than portfolios with significant investments in domestic debt securities.
Green Bond may invest in bonds whose proceeds are used principally for climate mitigation, climate adaption or other environmentally beneficial projects. Some “green” investments may be dependent on government tax incentives and subsidies and on political support for certain environmental technologies and companies.
Mortgage REIT invests directly in mortgage real estate investment trusts (“mortgage REITs”) and is exposed to the risks specific to the real estate market as well as the risks that relate specifically to the way in which mortgage REITs are organized and operated. Mortgage REITs receive principal and interest payments from the owners of the mortgaged properties. Accordingly, mortgage REITs are subject to the credit risk of the borrowers to whom they extend credit. To the extent that a mortgage REIT invests in mortgage-backed securities, it may be subject to default risk or interest rate risk. Mortgage REIT may invest in mortgage REITs that may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value.
Preferred Securities invests in preferred securities which are essentially contractual obligations that declare distributions but permit the issuer to defer or suspend distributions. This may require the Fund to account for the distribution that has been deferred or suspended for tax purposes even though it may not have received this income. Preferred securities are also subject to credit risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely distributions of dividends. In addition, preferred securities are subject to interest rate risk. Preferred securities interest rates may move in an inverse direction to that of general interest rates.
Preferred Securities 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.
Floating Rate, Green Bond, Preferred Securities and International High Yield invest in certain financial instruments that may pay interest based on, or otherwise have payments tied to, the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Due to the uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on a fund or the financial instruments in which the Funds invest cannot yet be determined.
Should the Chinese government impose restrictions on the ability of ChinaAMC China Bond to repatriate funds associated with direct investment in bonds issued in the PRC, the Fund may be unable to satisfy distribution requirements applicable to regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and the Fund may therefore be subject to Fund-level U.S. federal taxes.
Certain Funds may invest in securities of emerging market issuers, which are exposed to a number of risks that may make these investments volatile in price or difficult to trade. Political risks may include unstable governments, nationalization, restrictions on foreign ownership, laws that prevent investors from getting their money out of a country, sanctions and investment restrictions and legal systems that do not protect property risks as well as the laws of the United States. These and other factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.
The respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, which has spread internationally and declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has resulted in closing borders, quarantines, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, loss of life, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The coronavirus has already negatively impacted the economies of many nations, individual companies, and the market. This pandemic is expected to have a continued impact in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen presently.

At October 31, 2020, the Adviser owned approximately 45% and 2% of Emerging Markets Aggregate and Floating Rate, respectively.
A more complete description of risks is included in each Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
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 securities lending agent. Each Fund may lend up to 33% of its investments requiring that the loan be continuously collateralized by cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, 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. Securities lending income is disclosed as such in the Statements of Operations. Cash collateral is maintained on the Funds’ behalf by the lending agent and is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio. Non-cash collateral consists of U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government Agency securities, and is not disclosed in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments or Statements of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the agent on behalf of the Funds, and the Funds do not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. 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 Fund 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 cash collateral, if any, at October 31, 2020 is presented on a gross basis in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following is a summary of the Funds’ securities on loan and related collateral as of October 31, 2020:

VANECK VECTORS ETF TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
October 31, 2020 (unaudited)
At a meeting held on June 11, 2020 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of VanEck 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 (i) the investment management agreements between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to the VanEck Vectors BDC Income ETF, ChinaAMC China Bond ETF (the “China Fund”), Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF, Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, Green Bond ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF and Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) and (ii) a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with respect to the China Fund. The Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Agreements.”
The Board’s approval of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all of the information available to the Trustees and was not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered those factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors.
In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 7, 2020. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 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 and expenses of the Funds and the Funds’ peer funds (certain 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 seeks to track a different index than the funds in its designated peer group and, therefore, each Fund’s performance will differ from its peers. In addition, as noted below, the Trustees reviewed certain performance information for each Fund which was not provided by Broadridge and which did not compare each Fund’s performance to the performance of its peer group. For these and other reasons, the Trustees noted that the peer group performance information did not necessarily provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds.
The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Agreements was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and with the Adviser at the May 7, 2020 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 and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund), including the background and experience of the portfolio managers and others involved in the management and administration of the Funds. The Trustees considered the terms of, and scope of services that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) provide under, the 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. With respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees took into account the unique legal and operational aspects of the China Fund and the Sub-Adviser’s experience with respect to Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors Scheme funds. The Trustees also noted that the Sub-Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Asset Management Co., Ltd., one of China’s largest asset management companies measured by fund assets under management.
The Trustees concluded that the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) and their personnel have the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Funds’ portfolios. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees reviewed various performance metrics but relied principally on a comparison of the “gross” performance of each Fund (i.e., measured without regard to the impact of fees and expenses) to the performance of its benchmark index. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Funds was satisfactory.
The Trustees also considered information relating to the financial condition of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) and the current status, as they understood it, of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s (with respect to the China Fund) compliance environment.
As noted above, the Trustees were also provided various data from Broadridge comparing the Funds’ expenses and performance to that of certain other ETFs. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that each Fund had management fees (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver) below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, except for each of VanEck Vectors BDC Income ETF and Mortgage REIT Income ETF, which had management fees (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver) greater than the average, but below the median, of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees also noted that the information provided showed that each Fund had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) below or equal to the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, except for each of the VanEck Vectors BDC Income ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF and Mortgage REIT Income ETF, which had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) greater than the average and/or median of its respective peer group of funds. With respect to these Funds, the Trustees reviewed the amount by which these Funds’ management fees and/or total expense ratios (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) exceeded the average and/or median of their respective peer groups and information provided by the Adviser providing context for these comparisons. The Trustees concluded, in light of this information and the other information available to them, that the fees paid by the Funds were reasonable in light of the performance of the Funds and the quality of services received.
The Trustees also considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreements, received by the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Funds and the fact that the Sub-Adviser had not identified any such benefit.
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 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 volatility of the asset classes in which certain of the Funds invest, potential variability in the net assets of these Funds and the sustainability of any potential economies of scale which may exist given where fees are currently set. The Trustees also evaluated the extent to which management fees for the Funds effectively incorporate the benefits of economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the Adviser has capped expenses on each Fund since its inception, although the cap was not necessarily exceeded each year. Based on the foregoing and the other information available to them, the Trustees determined that the advisory fee rate for each Fund and the sub-advisory fee rate for the China Fund are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the current asset size of each Fund and the other factors discussed above and that the advisory fee rate for each Fund currently reflects an appropriate sharing with shareholders of any economies of scale which may exist. The Trustees also determined that the profits earned by the Adviser with respect to 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 also considered information from the Sub-Adviser informing them that the Sub-Adviser did not earn any profits from managing the China Fund.
The Independent Trustees were advised by and met in executive session with their independent counsel at the Renewal Meeting and at their May 7, 2020 meeting as part of their consideration of the Agreements.
In voting to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each 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 Agreement is in the best interest of each Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.
VanEck Vectors Dynamic Put Write ETF
At a meeting held on June 11, 2020 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of VanEck 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 agreement between the Trust and Van Eck Absolute Return Advisers Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the VanEck Vectors Dynamic Put Write ETF (the “Fund”).
The Board’s approval of the Investment Management Agreement was based on a comprehensive consideration of all of the information available to the Trustees and was not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered those factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors.
VANECK VECTORS ETF TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
(unaudited) (continued)
In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 7, 2020. At that meeting, the Trustees received materials from the Adviser. The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreement was based, in part, on information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and with the Adviser at the May 7, 2020 meeting regarding the proposed management of the Fund 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 proposed to be involved in the management and administration of the Fund. In evaluating the terms of the Investment Management Agreement at the Renewal Meeting and the May 7, 2020 meeting, the Trustees considered the terms and scope of services that the Adviser would provide under the Investment Management Agreement, including the Adviser’s agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses). The Trustees concluded that the Adviser and its personnel have the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Fund’s portfolio.
The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser because the Fund has not yet commenced operations. The Trustees could not consider the historical performance or actual management fees or operating expenses of, or the quality of services previously provided to, the Fund 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 Renewal Meeting and at their May 7, 2020 meeting as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement.
In voting to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreement are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees further concluded that the Investment Management Agreement is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
VanEck Vectors Moody’s Analytics BBB Corporate Bond ETF and VanEck Vectors Moody’s Analytics IG Corporate Bond ETF
At a meeting held on September 9, 2020 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of VanEck 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 “Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the VanEck Vectors Moody’s Analytics BBB Corporate Bond ETF and VanEck Vectors Moody’s Analytics IG Corporate Bond ETF (the “Funds”).
The Board’s approval of the Investment Management Agreement was based on a comprehensive consideration of all of the information available to the Trustees and was not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered those factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors.
In advance of the Meeting, the Trustees received materials from the Adviser, including expense information for other funds. The Adviser provided the Trustees with information regarding, among other things, the various aspects of the Funds’ proposed investment program, fee arrangements and service provider arrangements. The Independent Trustees��� consideration of the Investment Management Agreement was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Meeting 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 manager 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 the Investment Management Agreement, including the Adviser’s agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Funds (excluding the fee payment under the Investment Management Agreement, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses).
The Trustees considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreement, that the Adviser would receive from serving as adviser to the Funds. The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability of the Funds to the Adviser because the Funds have not yet commenced operations. In addition, because the Funds have not yet commenced operations, the Trustees could not consider the historical performance or actual management fees or operating expenses of, or the quality of services previously provided to, 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 Meeting as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement.
In voting to approve the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreement are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees further concluded that the Investment Management Agreement is in the best interest of the Funds and the Funds’ shareholders.
