NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2025 (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”). Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser for the Funds.

 

Fund   Diversification Classification
     
CEF Muni Income ETF (“CEF Muni”)   Diversified
Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets High Yield”)   Diversified
Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (“Fallen Angel”)   Diversified
Green Bond ETF (“Green Bond”)   Diversified
High Yield Muni ETF (“High Yield”)   Diversified
IG Floating Rate ETF (“IG Floating Rate”)   Non-Diversified
Intermediate Muni ETF (“Intermediate”)   Diversified
Long Muni ETF (“Long”)   Diversified

Moody’s Analytics IG Corporate Bond ETF (“Moody’s Analytics IG”)   Diversified
Short High Yield Muni ETF (“Short High Yield”)   Diversified

Each Fund’s investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of its index which are listed in the table below.

 

Fund   Index
     
CEF Muni   S-Network Municipal Bond Closed-End Fund Index
Emerging Markets High Yield   ICE BofA Diversified High Yield US Emerging Markets Corporate Plus Index

The Funds (except for CEF Muni) expect to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve their investment objectives. Sampling means that the Adviser uses quantitative analysis to select bonds and other securities that represent a sample of securities in the index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. The number of securities in each Fund will be based upon several factors, including asset size of the Fund. The Adviser generally expects each Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in the index, but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes necessary to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. CEF Muni seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of securities in substantially the same weighting as its index.

 

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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

210

 

 

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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. Certain foreign securities, whose values may be affected by market direction or events occurring before the Fund’s pricing time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) but after the last close of the securities’ primary market, are fair valued using a pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The pricing service considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to intraday trading in the U.S. markets, based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. The Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, such as, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Funds are open. 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. Short-term debt securities with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value. Open-end mutual fund investments (including money market funds) are valued at their net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

 

The Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

 

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

A. Security Valuation (continued)

 

Certain factors such as economic conditions, political events, market trends, the nature of and duration of any restrictions on disposition, trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers and other security specific information are used to determine the fair value of these securities. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these securities may be 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 Schedule 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 monthly by each fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Income dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital distributions, if any, are determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP, due to recharacterization for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions that exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported for tax purposes as a return of capital. A portion of a dividend may be reclassified as a tax return of capital upon the final determination of the Fund’s taxable income which can only be determined after the Fund’s fiscal year end.

 

D. Currency Translation

 

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

 

E. Restricted Securities

 

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

212

 

 

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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. In general, collateral received exceeds the net amount of the unrealized gain/loss or market value of financial instruments. 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 held in the form of money market fund investments, if any, at October 31, 2025 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. Segment Reporting

 

The Funds’ Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer act as the Funds’ chief operating decision maker (CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that each Fund has a single operating segment based on the fact that each Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, with a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Adviser. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within the Funds’ financial statements.

 

H. Other

 

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized upon notification of the ex-dividend date.

 

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. 

 

Note 3—Investment Management and Other Agreements

 

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 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. The unitary management fee rates for the six months ended October 31, 2025 are as follows:

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, 2025, the Adviser owned approximately 64% of Moody’s Analytics BBB.

 

Note 4—Capital Share Transactions

 

As of October 31, 2025, 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.

As of October 31, 2025, it is anticipated that CEF Muni will have a return of capital at fiscal year-end.

 

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 six months ended October 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Note 6—Income Taxes (continued)

 

Under the PRC Corporate Income Tax regime, China 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. Capital gains derived on 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 investments 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. 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, Green Bond and Emerging Markets High Yield Bond could be subject to a tax liability.

 

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, including municipal bonds and 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.

 

The Emerging Markets High Yield, Fallen Angel, Green Bond, High Yield and Short High Yield 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.

 

Certain Funds invest in foreign securities which 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.

 

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.

 

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.

216

 

 

Note 7—Principal Risks (continued)

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

In prior years, the CEF Muni, Emerging Markets High Yield, Fallen Angel, Green Bond, High Yield, IG Floating Rate, Intermediate, Long and Short adopted a unitary management fee in which the Adviser is responsible for paying all expenses of the Funds. 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 the date of conversion to a unitary management fee structure. Moody’s Analytics BBB, Moody’s Analytics IG and Short High Yield commenced operations with a unitary management fee, and therefore bear no cost or liabilities relative to the Plan.

 

Note 9—Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Funds may lend 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 Fund’s 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 any, at October 31, 2025, is presented on a gross basis in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following is a summary of the Funds’ securities on loan and related collateral as of October 31, 2025:

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on June 3, 2025 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of VanEck® ETF Trust (the “Trust,” and the series thereof listed below, the “Funds”), 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, Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, Green Bond ETF, High Yield Muni ETF, HIP Sustainable Muni ETF, IG Floating Rate ETF, Intermediate Muni ETF, Long Muni ETF, Moody’s Analytics BBB Corporate Bond ETF, Moody’s Analytics IG Corporate Bond ETF, Short High Yield Muni ETF and Short Muni ETF.

 

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 1, 2025. 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 relationships with the Funds. In reviewing performance information for the Funds against their peer groups, the Trustees considered that each Fund, except the VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF, has a different investment objective than the funds in its designated peer group and, therefore, each such 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, except for the VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF. The Trustees further considered that the VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF was expected to be liquidated and terminated shortly after the Renewal Meeting.

 

The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreements was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and the May 1, 2025 meeting regarding the management of the Funds and information obtained at other meetings of the Trustees and/or based on their review of the materials provided by the Adviser, including the background and experience of the portfolio managers and others involved in the management and administration of the Funds. The Trustees 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 each Fund (excluding the fee payment under the applicable 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 Funds’ portfolios. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees reviewed various performance metrics, including various data from Broadridge comparing each Fund’s performance to that of certain other registered funds, but relied principally on a comparison of the “gross” performance of each Fund except for the VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF (i.e., measured without regard to the impact of fees and expenses) to the performance of its benchmark index, in each case incorporating any systematic fair value adjustments to the underlying securities. The Trustees considered information from the Adviser regarding the performance of the VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF, an actively managed exchange-traded fund, against its benchmark index and peer funds. The Trustees noted that the VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF had underperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2024 due to increased

221

VANECK ETF TRUST

market volatility in the second half of 2024 and an underweight exposure to zero-coupon bonds relative to the benchmark, according to the Adviser.

 

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 with various data from Broadridge comparing the Funds’ management fees and total expense ratios to those of certain other registered funds. The Trustees noted that the information provided showed that each Fund (except as noted below) had management fees below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, each of the VanEck Moody’s Analytics IG Corporate Bond 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 VanEck Moody’s Analytics BBB Corporate Bond ETF had management fees above the average and median of its peer group of funds, and the VanEck Green Bond ETF had management fees above the average and equal to the median of its 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 below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, the VanEck Moody’s Analytics BBB Corporate Bond ETF had a total expense ratio below the average and above the median of its peer group of funds, and the VanEck Green Bond ETF had a total expense ratio below the average and equal to the median of its peer group of funds. The Trustees reviewed the amounts by which certain Funds’ management fees and/or total expense ratios 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.

 

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser about its overall profitability and 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 the 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 1, 2025 meeting as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreements.

 

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