PRESIDENT’S LETTER
October 31, 2023 (unaudited)
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Our outlook for financial markets in 2023 was “sideways.” The three major forces on markets—monetary policy, government spending and economic growth—were negative or muted coming into the year. This remains my view.
Discussion
To recap this cycle: stocks and bonds historically do not perform well when the Fed tightens monetary conditions, and that’s just what the Fed announced it would be doing at the end of 2021. This would include raising rates and changing its balance sheet actions, which doesn’t create a great environment for financial assets.
There are three things investors continue to face, none of which is particularly positive for financial assets.
| 1. | Monetary Policy: Tightening |
Money supply exploded during the COVID–19 pandemic, but it started shrinking in late 2022. This withdrawal of money supply is bad for stock and bond returns.
A second, modern component to monetary policy is the Fed balance sheet. After buying bonds during the pandemic, the Fed has now started shrinking the balance sheet—from a high of almost $9 trillion in early 2022, assets dropped to just under of $8 trillion toward the end of October 2023.1
As we’ve been saying since the summer of 2022, when wage inflation was confirmed, what should drive the Fed is fighting wage inflation. That is the kind of inflation that is endemic and hard to manage once it takes hold, not least because it creates a spiraling effect. And this is the battle that is at full pitch—the labor market has remained strong.
While headline inflation is falling, we are still in the “higher for longer” camp. The Fed seems likely to continue holding, or even raising, interest rates and will probably continue to shrink its balance sheet. This is not supportive of stock or bond markets.
A second bearish factor is that government spending is unlikely to increase next year. The Republicans, in control of the House of Representatives, continue to look to slow government spending. And even Democrats like Larry Summers believe that stimulus spending during the pandemic led to inflation. The debt ceiling compromise and the Supreme Court rejection of student debt relief continue this trend. But it is worth noting that environmental subsidies from the IRA bill are larger than expected. A political expert just commented that the next U.S. President will have to face the country’s big budget deficits in 2025. If this does happen, and I’m more positive on this than most, then I could see the Fed cut rates to offset the contractionary effects of smaller budget deficits. Again, more in 2025 than 2024.
| 3. | Global Growth is at Low Levels |
Both Chinese and European growth, for different reasons, were slow in 2022. Over the last 20 years, the U.S. and China have been the two main pillars of global growth. In China, the post-COVID-19 growth has been more domestic and consumer-led and still not enough to overcome the property sector malaise. In coming years, we will likely have to look to India, Indonesia and Africa to drive global growth.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Outlook
My basic outlook favoring bonds hasn’t changed, which is that they offer attractive risk-adjusted returns compared to equities given the headwinds discussed above. Now after the 2022 and 2023 losses, bond investments are now offering attractive yields, this has been our favorite asset class to buy and remains our preference. (See What to Buy? Bonds. When? Now.2) As a reference, bonds offered attractive total returns in the 1970s even though that decade was the worst for interest rates in the last 100 years.
This period of “yield curve inversion”—long-term interest rates lower than short-term rates—is unusual and, I think, about to end. If, and it’s a big “if”, government entities like the Fed are stepping back from the bond markets, then it makes sense for long-term rates to be higher because with greater risk should come greater return.
Further, yield curve inversion is present only about 10% of the time. It’s unusual. This is a good time to think about what investments might benefit from the end of this era. Perhaps some bank stocks? This outlook is discussed in a recent podcast, The Compound and Friends,3 Episode 113, released on October 13, 2023.
My final thought is that, while I think the Fed won’t lower short-term interest rates for a while, this is a good time to get positioned in assets that would benefit from that stimulus, namely gold and BTC (bitcoin). Timing market moves is almost impossible, but the cycle will eventually turn in favor of these assets and they have rallied since we started discussing this several months ago.
We thank you for investing in VanEck’s investment strategies. On the following pages, you will find financial statements for each of the funds for the six month period ended October 31, 2023. 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, 2023 to October 31, 2023.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2023 (unaudited)
Note 1—Fund Organization—VanEck 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 table below (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”).
| Fund | | Diversification Classification |
| | | |
| CEF Muni Income ETF (“CEF Muni”) | | Diversified |
| High Yield Muni ETF (“High Yield”) | | Diversified |
| HIP Sustainable Muni ETF (“HIP Sustainable”) | | Non-Diversified |
| Intermediate Muni ETF (“Intermediate”) | | Diversified |
| Long Muni ETF (“Long”) | | Diversified |
| Short High Yield Muni ETF (“Short High Yield”) | | Diversified |
| Short Muni ETF (“Short”) | | Diversified |
Each Fund’s investment objective (except for HIP Sustainable) is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of its index.
| Fund | | Index |
| | | |
| CEF Muni | | S-Network Municipal Bond Closed-End Fund Index |
| High Yield | | ICE Broad High Yield Crossover Municipal Index |
| Intermediate | | ICE Intermediate AMT-Free Broad National Municipal Index |
| Long | | ICE Long AMT-Free Broad National Municipal Index |
| Short High Yield | | ICE 1-12 Year Broad High Yield Crossover Municipal Index |
| Short | | ICE Short AMT-Free Broad National Municipal Index |
The investment objective of HIP Sustainable is to seek current income generally exempt from federal income tax, other than federal alternative minimum tax. The Funds (except CEF Muni and HIP Sustainable) 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 Muni seeks to achieve its objectives through a portfolio of securities in substantially the same weighting as its index. The HIP Sustainable is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing, under normal circumstances, in investment grade municipal debt securities that fund issuers with operations or projects helping to promote progress towards sustainable development, in alignment with the goals and metrics defined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
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. 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). 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. 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. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Debt securities are valued on the basis of evaluated prices furnished by an independent pricing service 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. The Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has designated the Adviser as valuation designee to perform the Funds’ fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain reporting and other requirements. The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with the requirements. 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. 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 and net realized capital gains, in any, 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, 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. 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 using the effective interest method. 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. Such amounts are based on historical information available to the Fund’s and other industry sources. 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, 2023, are as follows:
| Fund | | Unitary
Management
Fee Rate |
| CEF Muni | | | 0.40 | % |
| High Yield* | | | 0.32 | |
| HIP Sustainable | | | 0.24 | |
| Intermediate | | | 0.24 | |
| Long | | | 0.24 | |
| Short High Yield | | | 0.35 | |
| Short* | | | 0.07 | |
| * | Prior to June 20, 2023, the unitary management fee rate for High Yield and Short was 0.35% and 0.20%, respectively. |
In addition, Van Eck Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, acts as the Funds’ distributor. Certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are officers, directors or stockholders of the Adviser and Distributor.
At October 31, 2023, the Adviser owned approximately 13% of HIP Sustainable.
Note 4—Capital Share Transactions—As of October 31, 2023, 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 a designated portfolio of securities (“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 variable fees on the purchase or redemption of Creation Units for cash, or on transactions effected outside the clearing process, to defray certain transaction costs. 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, 2023, 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 Muni | | $ | 14,329,433 | | | $ | 14,065,738 | | | $ | 32,656,454 | | | $ | 9,679,921 | |
| High Yield | | | 435,081,781 | | | | 379,136,017 | | | | — | | | | 147,590,062 | |
| HIP Sustainable | | | 1,355,233 | | | | 1,736,992 | | | | — | | | | — | |
| Intermediate | | | 261,707,320 | | | | 137,293,530 | | | | — | | | | 24,242,855 | |
| Long | | | 173,745,721 | | | | 48,876,541 | | | | — | | | | — | |
| Short High Yield | | | 41,909,649 | | | | 56,899,139 | | | | — | | | | 10,033,717 | |
| Short | | | 36,597,441 | | | | 47,936,653 | | | | — | | | | 7,240,084 | |
During the period ended October 31, 2023, the High Yield, Intermediate, Long, Short High Yield and Short funds engaged in purchases and sales of investments to funds or other accounts that are managed by the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser). These transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and aggregated to approximately $1 million of sales for High Yield, $16 million of purchases and $20 million of sales for Intermediate, $16 million of sales for Long, $1 million of purchases for Short High Yield and $20 million of purchases for Short.
Note 6—Income Taxes—As of October 31, 2023, 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 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, 2023, 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 Muni invests in closed-end funds that may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. The Fund is 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, the Fund may be indirectly exposed to the effects of leverage through its investment in the underlying funds. Investments in underlying funds that use leverage may cause the value of the Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if the Fund invested in underlying funds that do not utilize leverage.
The HIP Sustainable strategy of investing in municipal debt securities of issuers promoting sustainable development may limit the types and number of investments available to the Fund or cause the Fund to invest in securities that underperform the market as a whole. As a result, the Fund may underperform funds that do not have a sustainable investing strategy or funds with sustainable investing strategies that do not employ HIP (Human Impact + Profit) Ratings. In addition, the Fund relies on a data provider for the identification of issuers that promote sustainable development based on their HIP Ratings; however, there can be no guarantee that the data provider’s methodology will align with the Fund’s investment strategy or desirable issuers can be correctly identified.
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 Muni Fund. For these Funds, the liability for the Plan which is 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 and HIP Sustainable, are presented in “Due to Adviser”.
Note 9—Bank Line of Credit—The Funds may participate in a $200 million committed credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Funds at the request of the shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds have agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the unused but available balance. These fees are included in custody and accounting fees in the Statements of Operations. Interest is charged to the Funds based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the period ended October 31, 2023, the following Funds borrowed under this Facility:
| Fund | | Days
Outstanding | | Average
Daily
Loan Balance | | Average
Interest Rate |
| CEF Muni | | 151 | | $378,575 | | | 6.55 | % |
| High Yield | | 5 | | 1,942,131 | | | 6.68 | |
| Intermediate | | 1 | | 143,761 | | | 6.68 | |
| Short High Yield | | 40 | | 481,287 | | | 6.50 | |
Outstanding loan balances as of October 31, 2023, if any, are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Note 10—New Regulatory Requirements— On October 26, 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted rule and form amendments that require mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are registered on Form N-1A to prepare and transmit tailored unaudited annual and semi-annual shareholder reports (TSRs), that highlight key information to investors, within 60 days of period-end. The new TSRs will be prepared separately for each fund.
In connection with these amendments, certain information that was previously disclosed in fund shareholder reports will instead be made available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR.
The SEC also amended Rule 30e-3 under the Investment Company Act, to require mutual funds and ETFs to provide TSRs directly to investors by mail (unless an investor elects electronic delivery).

VANECK ETF TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
October 31, 2023 (unaudited)
At a meeting held on June 8, 2023 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of VanEck® 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 CEF Muni Income ETF, High Yield Muni ETF, Intermediate Muni ETF, Long Muni ETF, Short High Yield Muni ETF and Short Muni 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 5, 2023. 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 registered funds), information about the advisory services provided to the Funds and the personnel providing those services, and the profitability (or the absence of 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 has a different investment objective 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. 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 5, 2023 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 registered funds. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that each of the VanEck CEF Muni Income ETF and Short Muni ETF had management fees below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, while each of the VanEck High Yield Muni ETF, Intermediate Muni ETF, Long Muni ETF and Short High Yield Muni ETF had management fees below the average and equal to the median of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees also noted that the
VANECK ETF TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

information provided showed that each of the VanEck CEF Muni Income ETF, Intermediate Muni ETF, Long Muni ETF and Short Muni ETF had a total expense ratio below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, while each of the VanEck High Yield Muni ETF and Short High Yield Muni ETF had a total expense ratio below the average and equal to the 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 management 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 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 may 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 5, 2023 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 HIP Sustainable Muni ETF
At a meeting held on June 8, 2023 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of VanEck® 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 HIP Sustainable Muni 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.

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.

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 registered funds. The Trustees also considered information from the Adviser regarding the performance of the Fund against its benchmark. The Trustees noted that the Fund had underperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2022 and the period since its inception on September 8, 2021 through December 31, 2022 due to differences in duration and yield curve positioning between the Fund and its benchmark, as well as the Fund’s sector allocation. Based on the totality of 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 registered funds.

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 may effectively incorporate the benefits of economies of scale.

In preparation for the Renewal Meeting, the Trustees held a meeting on May 5, 2023. At that meeting, the Trustees received materials from the Adviser. 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 5, 2023 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. The Trustees also considered the terms and scope of services that the Adviser would provide under the Investment Management Agreement, including the Adviser’s agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of the Fund (excluding 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 had 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 5, 2023 meeting as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement.

VANECK ETF TRUST
PRESIDENT’S LETTER
October 31, 2023 (unaudited)
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Our outlook for financial markets in 2023 was “sideways.” The three major forces on markets—monetary policy, government spending and economic growth—were negative or muted coming into the year. This remains my view.
Discussion
To recap this cycle: stocks and bonds historically do not perform well when the Fed tightens monetary conditions, and that’s just what the Fed announced it would be doing at the end of 2021. This would include raising rates and changing its balance sheet actions, which doesn’t create a great environment for financial assets.
There are three things investors continue to face, none of which is particularly positive for financial assets.
| 1. | Monetary Policy: Tightening |
Money supply exploded during the COVID–19 pandemic, but it started shrinking in late 2022. This withdrawal of money supply is bad for stock and bond returns.
A second, modern component to monetary policy is the Fed balance sheet. After buying bonds during the pandemic, the Fed has now started shrinking the balance sheet—from a high of almost $9 trillion in early 2022, assets dropped to just under of $8 trillion toward the end of October 2023.1
As we’ve been saying since the summer of 2022, when wage inflation was confirmed, what should drive the Fed is fighting wage inflation. That is the kind of inflation that is endemic and hard to manage once it takes hold, not least because it creates a spiraling effect. And this is the battle that is at full pitch—the labor market has remained strong.
While headline inflation is falling, we are still in the “higher for longer” camp. The Fed seems likely to continue holding, or even raising, interest rates and will probably continue to shrink its balance sheet. This is not supportive of stock or bond markets.
A second bearish factor is that government spending is unlikely to increase next year. The Republicans, in control of the House of Representatives, continue to look to slow government spending. And even Democrats like Larry Summers believe that stimulus spending during the pandemic led to inflation. The debt ceiling compromise and the Supreme Court rejection of student debt relief continue this trend. But it is worth noting that environmental subsidies from the IRA bill are larger than expected. A political expert just commented that the next U.S. President will have to face the country’s big budget deficits in 2025. If this does happen, and I’m more positive on this than most, then I could see the Fed cut rates to offset the contractionary effects of smaller budget deficits. Again, more in 2025 than 2024.
| 3. | Global Growth is at Low Levels |
Both Chinese and European growth, for different reasons, were slow in 2022. Over the last 20 years, the U.S. and China have been the two main pillars of global growth. In China, the post-COVID-19 growth has been more domestic and consumer-led and still not enough to overcome the property sector malaise. In coming years, we will likely have to look to India, Indonesia and Africa to drive global growth.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Outlook
My basic outlook favoring bonds hasn’t changed, which is that they offer attractive risk-adjusted returns compared to equities given the headwinds discussed above. Now after the 2022 and 2023 losses, bond investments are now offering attractive yields, this has been our favorite asset class to buy and remains our preference. (See What to Buy? Bonds. When? Now.2) As a reference, bonds offered attractive total returns in the 1970s even though that decade was the worst for interest rates in the last 100 years.
This period of “yield curve inversion”—long-term interest rates lower than short-term rates—is unusual and, I think, about to end. If, and it’s a big “if”, government entities like the Fed are stepping back from the bond markets, then it makes sense for long-term rates to be higher because with greater risk should come greater return.
Further, yield curve inversion is present only about 10% of the time. It’s unusual. This is a good time to think about what investments might benefit from the end of this era. Perhaps some bank stocks? This outlook is discussed in a recent podcast, The Compound and Friends,3 Episode 113, released on October 13, 2023.
My final thought is that, while I think the Fed won’t lower short-term interest rates for a while, this is a good time to get positioned in assets that would benefit from that stimulus, namely gold and BTC (bitcoin). Timing market moves is almost impossible, but the cycle will eventually turn in favor of these assets and they have rallied since we started discussing this several months ago.
We thank you for investing in VanEck’s investment strategies. On the following pages, you will find financial statements for each of the funds for the six month period ended October 31, 2023. As always, we value your continued confidence in us and look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future.

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, 2023 to October 31, 2023.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2023 (unaudited)
Note 1—Fund Organization—VanEck 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 |
| China Bond ETF (“China Bond”) | | Non-Diversified |

Each Fund’s investment objective, except Dynamic High Income ETF, is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of its index which are listed in the table below. The investment objective of Dynamic High Income ETF is to provide high current income with consideration for capital appreciation.
| Fund | | Index |

| BDC Income | | MVIS® US Business Development Companies Index |
| China Bond | | ChinaBond China High Quality Bond Index |

The Funds (except BDC Income, Dynamic 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 China Bond. 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. Dynamic High Income ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in exchange traded products (“ETPs”) that are registered under the applicable federal securities laws and that invest in securities that generate income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited) (continued)
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. 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). |
| | |
| | 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. 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. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Debt securities are valued on the basis of evaluated prices furnished by an independent pricing service 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. The Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has designated the Adviser as valuation designee to perform the Funds’ fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain reporting and other requirements. The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with the requirements. The Pricing Committee of the Adviser provides oversight of the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the 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. |
| | |
| | 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 and net realized capital gains, if any, 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 (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. Dividends and distributions that exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported for tax purposes as a return of capital. |
| | |
| 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. Any currency denominated in Rubles cannot be repatriated and such currency was valued at $0 as of October 31, 2023. |
| | |
| 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. | 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 receive cash and or securities as collateral for 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, 2023 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). |

| G. | 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 using the effective interest method. 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. |
| | |
| | China Bond is required to hold foreign investor minimum settlement reserve funds by the China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited. Refer to cash denominated in foreign currency, at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the amount held at October 31, 2023. |
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, 2023, to waive management fees and assume expenses to prevent total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding the expense limitations for the Funds listed in the table below.
The expense limitations and management fee rates for the period ended October 31, 2023 are as follows:
| Fund |
| Management
Fees |
| Expense
Limitations |
| China Bond | | | 0.40 | % | | | 0.50 | % |
| J.P. Morgan EM | | | 0.27 | | | | 0.30 | |
Refer to the Statements of Operations for amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser.
The Funds listed in the table below utilize a unitary management fee structure where the Adviser will pay all Fund expenses, except for the fee payment under the investment management agreement, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses.
| Fund | | Unitary
Management
Fee Rate |
| BDC Income | | | 0.40 | % |

| Moody’s Analytics IG | | | 0.20 | |
| Mortgage REIT | | | 0.40 | |
| Preferred Securities | | | 0.40 | |
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, 2023, the Adviser owned approximately 82% and 37% of Moody’s Analytics BBB and Moody’s Analytics IG, respectively.
Note 4—Capital Share Transactions—As of October 31, 2023, 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 variable fees on the purchase or redemption of Creation Units for cash, or on transactions effected outside the clearing process, to defray certain transaction costs. 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, 2023, 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, 2023 to October 31, 2023, the net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency translations were as follows:
| China Bond | | $ | (2,643,375 | ) |
| International High Yield | | | (722,437 | ) |
| J.P. Morgan EM | | | (67,829,656 | ) |
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, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
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”), Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“RQFIIs”) and investors in the China Bond Connect Program.
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. On November 26, 2021, the PRC Ministry of Finance and PRC State Taxation Administration jointly issued Caishui [2021] No. 34 (“Circular 34”) to formally extend the tax exemption period provided in Circular 108 to December 31, 2025.
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 and investments through the China Bond Connect Program 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) and investment through the China Bond Connect Program 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 China Bond and J.P. Morgan EM and their shareholders. If the PRC tax authorities were to issue differing formal guidance or tax rules regarding capital gains from Chinese Bonds to RQFIIs, which is the Sub-Adviser in this case, and begin collecting capital gains tax, China Bond could be subject to a tax liability via the Sub-Adviser. If the PRC tax authorities were to issue differing formal guidance or tax rules regarding capital gains from Chinese Bond investments made through the Bond Connect Program, and begin collecting capital gains tax, China Bond and J.P. Morgan EM could be subject to a tax liability. The impact of any such tax liability on the return for China Bond and J.P. Morgan EM could be substantial.
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, 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.
Additionally, 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. These risks include devaluation of currencies, currency controls, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, future adverse economic developments and political conflicts, or natural or other disasters, such as the recent coronavirus outbreak. Certain securities of Chinese issuers are, or may in the future become restricted, and the Funds may be forced to sell such restricted securities and incur a loss as a result.
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.
China Bond, Emerging Markets High Yield, Fallen Angel, Green Bond, International High Yield, Floating Rate, J.P. Morgan EM, Moody’s Analytics BBB, and Moody’s Analytics IG 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.
Dynamic High Income ETF may concentrate its investments in ETPs that invest directly in, or have exposure to, equity and debt securities. Such investments may subject the ETPs to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The Fund is dependent on the performance of underlying funds and is subject to the risks of those funds.
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.
Moody’s Analytics BBB invests in BBB-rated bonds, which are typically subject to greater risk of downgrade than other investment grade bonds. The risk of downgrade to below-investment grade will be heightened during an economic downturn or a substantial period of rising interest rates. Any downgrade of such bonds would relegate them from the investment grade universe to the high yield (or “junk” bond) universe, which could negatively affect their value.
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. For tax purposes, this may require the Fund to account for the distribution that has been deferred or suspended, 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.
Should the Chinese government impose restrictions on the ability of 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.
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 was adopted on May 1, 2021, for BDC Income, Emerging Markets High Yield, Fallen Angel, Green Bond, International High Yield, Floating Rate, Mortgage REIT, and Preferred Securities. For these Funds, the liability for the Plan shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities represents amounts accrued through April 30, 2021. Dynamic Income, Moody’s Analytics BBB and Moody’s Analytics IG commenced operations with a unitary management fee and therefore bear no costs or liabilities relative to the Plan.
For China Bond and J.P. Morgan EM, the expense for the Plan is included in “Trustees’ fees and expenses” in the Statements of Operations, and 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 of 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. 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

Note 11—New Regulatory Requirements—On October 26, 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted rule and form amendments that require mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are registered on Form N-1A to prepare and transmit tailored unaudited annual and semi-annual
shareholder reports (TSRs), that highlight key information to investors, within 60 days of period-end. The new TSRs will be prepared separately for each fund.
In connection with these amendments, certain information that was previously disclosed in fund shareholder reports will instead be made available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR.
The SEC also amended Rule 30e-3 under the Investment Company Act, to require mutual funds and ETFs to provide TSRs directly to investors by mail (unless an investor elects electronic delivery).
These rules are effective January 24, 2023, and the compliance date is July 24, 2024.

VANECK ETF TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
October 31, 2023 (unaudited)
At a meeting held on June 8, 2023 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of VanEck® 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 BDC Income ETF, China Bond ETF (the “China Fund”), Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, Green Bond ETF, IG Floating Rate ETF (formerly, VanEck Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF), International High Yield Bond ETF, J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF, Moody’s Analytics BBB Corporate Bond ETF, Moody’s Analytics IG Corporate 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 5, 2023. 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 registered funds), information about the advisory services provided to the Funds and the personnel providing those services, and the profitability (or the absence of profitability) of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) 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 has a different investment objective 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. 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 5, 2023 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, (i) (with respect to each Fund except the China Fund and VanEck J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF) (the “Unitary Funds”) 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) and (ii) (with respect to the China Fund and VanEck J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF) 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 registered funds. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that each Fund (except as noted below) had management fees (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver) below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, the VanEck Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF had management fees above the average and below the median of its peer group of funds, the VanEck Green Bond ETF had management fees below the average and above the median of its peer group of funds, each of the China Fund and the VanEck Moody’s Analytics IG Corporate Bond ETF had management fees below the average and equal to the median of its respective peer group of funds, and each of the VanEck BDC Income ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Moody’s Analytics BBB Corporate Bond ETF and Mortgage REIT Income ETF had management fees above the average and median of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees also noted that the information provided showed that each Fund (except as noted below) 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, the VanEck Moody’s Analytics IG Corporate Bond ETF had a total expense ratio below the average and equal to the median of its peer group of funds, each of the VanEck BDC Income ETF and Green Bond ETF had a total expense ratio below the average and above the median of its respective peer group of funds, the VanEck Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF had a total expense ratio above the average and below the median of its peer group of funds, each of the China Fund, VanEck International High Yield Bond ETF, Moody’s Analytics BBB Corporate Bond ETF and Mortgage REIT Income ETF had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable expense limitation) above the average and median of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees reviewed the amount by which certain Funds’ management fees and/or total expense ratios (after the effect of any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) 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 management 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 monetary benefit.
The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser (with respect to the China Fund) about their overall profitability and profitability or loss in respect of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size, expense ratio and expense cap, as applicable, and noted that the Investment Management Agreements do not include breakpoints in the advisory fee rates as asset levels in a Fund increase. The Trustees considered the potential variability in 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 may 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 Unitary Funds and noted that the Adviser has capped expenses on each of the China Fund and VanEck J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF 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
VANECK ETF TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

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 and the profits earned by the Sub-Adviser with respect to the China Fund, if any, 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 5, 2023 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, at the time of their considerations, each Agreement is in the best interest of each Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.
VanEck 15(c) Disclosure: Dynamic High Income ETF
At a meeting held on June 8, 2023 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of VanEck® 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 Dynamic High Income ETF (the “Fund”).

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 registered funds.
The Trustees also considered information from the Adviser regarding the performance of the Fund against its benchmark. The Trustees noted that the Fund had slightly underperformed one of its benchmarks for the period since its inception on November 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, a relatively short period. Based on the totality of 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 registered funds. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that the Fund had management fees below the average and median of its 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 peer group of funds.

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.
