Each Fund was created to provide investors with the opportunity to purchase a security representing a proportionate undivided interest in a portfolio of securities consisting of substantially all of the common stocks in approximately the same weighting as their index.

 

India Growth Leaders ETF makes its investments through MV SCIF Mauritius (the “Mauritius Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary organized in the Republic of Mauritius. China Semiconductor ETF and ChiNext Innovators ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing directly in A-shares through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Programs (the “Programs”).

 

Van Eck Associates Corporation (“VEAC”) serves as the investment adviser for the Funds, except for CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF. Van Eck Absolute Return Advisers Corporation (“VEARA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of VEAC, serves as the investment adviser to CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF and its subsidiary. VEAC and VEARA are collectively referred to as the “Adviser”.

 

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. 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 ADRs 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.

 

Swap contracts are marked to market daily using either pricing vendor quotations, counterparty prices or model prices and the net change in value, if any, is regarded as an unrealized gain or loss and is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

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 of the Adviser 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.

 

Any Russian securities held in the Funds at June 30, 2026 are restricted from trading and any currency denominated in Rubles cannot be repatriated, therefore the Pricing Committee is currently fair valuing these investments at $0, as represented in the Schedule of Investments and deeming all these holdings as a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

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. Basis for Consolidation

 

The CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF invests in certain commodity-linked derivative instruments through the Commodity Index Subsidiary (the “CMCI Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company. Consolidated financial statements of the Fund present the financial position and results of operations for the Fund and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

The Mauritius Subsidiary of India Growth Leaders ETF, an Indian exempted company, was incorporated on February 25, 2010 and acts as an investment vehicle for the India Growth Leaders ETF in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Fund. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Mauritius Subsidiary, and it is intended that the Fund will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Mauritius Subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements of the Fund include the financial results of its wholly-owned Mauritius Subsidiary. All interfund account balances and transactions between the Funds and their subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

  C. 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.

 

The wholly-owned CMCI Subsidiary is classified as controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) under the Code. For U.S. tax purposes, a CFC is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned CFC, its net income and capital gains, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the each Fund’s investment company taxable income. Net losses of the CFC cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current year, nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future years.

 

  D. Distributions to Shareholders

 

Dividends to shareholders from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually by each Fund. 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.

 

  E. Currency Translation

 

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under foreign currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing prices of such currencies each business day 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, held by the Funds, cannot be repatriated and such currency was valued at $0 as of June 30, 2026.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  F. Restricted Securities

 

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

 

  G. Use of Derivative Instruments

 

Certain Funds may invest in derivative instruments. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments or commodities at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivative instruments also involves the risk of loss if the investment adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds’ derivative instruments and hedging activities. Details of this disclosure are found below as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Total Return Swaps

 

The CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF enters into total return swaps in order take a “long” position with respect to an underlying referenced asset. The Fund is subject to market price volatility of the underlying referenced asset. A total return swap involves commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent that the total return of the security, group of securities or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Documentation governing the Fund’s swap transactions may contain provisions for early termination of a swap in the event the net assets of the Fund decline below specific levels set forth in the documentation (“net asset contingent features”). If these levels are triggered, the Fund’s counterparty has the right to terminate the swap and require the Fund to pay or receive a settlement amount in connection with the terminated swap transaction. The total return swap positions held by the Fund at June 30, 2026, are reflected in the Fund’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF held total return swap contracts with an average monthly notional amount of $2,743,333.

 

At June 30, 2026, the Fund held the following derivatives (not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP):

  H. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting or other similar agreements. Generally, the right of 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. The Fund may pledge cash and or securities as collateral for derivative instruments. In general, collateral received or pledged 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 June 30, 2026 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).

 

The table below presents both gross and net information about the derivative instruments eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities subject to a master netting or similar agreements, as well as financial collateral received or pledged (including cash collateral) as of June 30, 2026. The total amount of collateral reported, if any, is limited to the net amounts of financial assets and liabilities presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the respective financial instruments. In general, collateral received or pledged exceeds the net amount of the unrealized gain/loss or market value of financial instruments.

  I. Segment Reporting

 

The Funds’ Chief Financial Officer and the Funds’ 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

104

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  I. Segment Reporting (continued)

 

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.

 

  J. 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. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income or disclosed separately, if any, are recorded at fair value of the security received.

 

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.

Note 3—Investment Management and Other Agreements (continued)

 

The Adviser has agreed, until at least May 1, 2027, to waive management fees and assume expenses to prevent each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding their expense limitations.

 

Refer to the Statements of Operations for amounts assumed by the Adviser for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

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 June 30, 2026 are as follows:

 

Fund   Management
Fees
China Semiconductor ETF     0.65 %
Copper and Electrification Metals ETF     0.59  
Digital India ETF     0.70

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Adviser reimbursed the Brazil Small-Cap ETF $26,580 for an investment loss. The per share and total return impact to the Fund is reflected in the Financial Highlights.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Adviser reimbursed the ChiNext Innovators ETF $19,569 for an investment loss. The per share and total return impact to the Fund is reflected in the Financial Highlights.

 

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 June 20, 2026, the Adviser owned approximately 60% and 50% of CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF and MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF, respectively.

 

Note 4—Capital Share Transactions

 

As of June 30, 2026, 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.

The tax characteristic of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

 

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 Statement of Operations. During the six months ended in June 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any such interest or penalties.

 

Investments in China: Uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing taxation of income and gains from investments in A-Shares could result in unexpected tax liabilities for China Semiconductor ETF and ChiNext Innovators ETF (the “China Funds”). China generally imposes withholding income tax (“WHT”) at a rate of 10% on dividends derived from non-People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) resident enterprises (including a Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (“QFII”) and a Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (“RQFII”)) from issuers resident in China. China imposes WHT at a rate of 10% on capital gains derived by non-PRC resident enterprises from the disposal in shares of PRC enterprises. Effective November 17, 2014, investments through the Hong Kong-Shanghai Stock Connect program, QFIIs and RQFIIs, which includes these China Funds, were exempted temporarily from WHT with respect to gains derived from the trading of equity investments (including A-shares). However, uncertainties remain regarding the taxation of capital gains in China. PRC rules for taxation of RQFIIs (and QFIIs) and the PRC tax regulations to be issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation and/or PRC Minister of Finance to clarify the subject matter may apply retrospectively, even if such rules are adverse to the nonresident investors. If the PRC tax authorities were to issue differing formal guidance or tax rules regarding the taxation of capital gains derived by QFIIs, RQFIIs and other nonresident investors WHT on gains from such investments the China Funds could be subject to additional tax liabilities. Prior to January 12, 2024, all or a portion of the ChiNext Innovators ETF investments were through an RQFII arrangement with a sub-adviser.

 

Investments in India: India currently assesses a capital gains tax on shares sold on the exchange of 20% on short term capital gains and 12.5% on long term capital gains (plus applicable surcharge and cess). Further, long-term capital gains on certain shares that were held as of January 31, 2018, may be eligible for a step up in cost basis which may reduce realized taxable gains. Existing Indian capital loss carryforwards may be utilized to offset capital gains realized on securities sold.

 

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. The Funds may purchase securities on foreign exchanges. Securities of foreign issuers involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. These risks include devaluation of currencies, currency controls, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, future adverse economic developments and political conflicts, or natural or other disasters.

Note 7—Principal Risks (continued)

 

Additionally, the 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, difficult to trade, and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets. 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. 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. There may be limitations or delays in the convertibility or repatriation of certain currencies, which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity of a Fund’s investments denominated in such currencies. This may impair a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and/or may impede a Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests in a timely manner.

 

The taxation of income and capital gains of foreign securities is subject to the fiscal laws and practices of different jurisdictions. Any of those jurisdictions may change their fiscal laws and practices or interpretation and enforcement policies, possibly with retroactive effect. The India Growth Leaders ETF’s investment in the Mauritius Subsidiary involves certain tax risks. Changes to the Double Taxation Avoidance Treaty (the “Treaty”) between Mauritius and India, or its interpretation may adversely affect the ability of the Mauritius Subsidiary to realize efficiently income or capital gains. Indian capital gains tax can be imposed on income arising from the transfer of shares in a company registered outside India which derives, directly or indirectly, its value substantially from the assets located in India. 

 

Should the Chinese government impose restrictions on the ability of China Semiconductor ETF and ChiNext Innovators ETF to repatriate funds associated with direct investment in A-Shares, the Funds may be unable to satisfy distribution requirements applicable to regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Funds may therefore be subject to Fund-level U.S. federal taxes.

 

The CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF may invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity futures contracts and options on futures contracts that provide economic exposure to the investment returns of the commodities markets. The use of derivatives presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Derivative strategies often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing the Fund to lose more money than it would have lost had it invested in the underlying security. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by overall market movements and other factors affecting the value of a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, disease, embargoes, or political and economic events and regulatory developments. Exposure to the commodities markets, such as precious metals, industrial metals, gas and other energy products and natural resources, may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Changes in laws or government regulations by the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could adversely affect the operations of the Fund.

 

As a result of the current conditions related to Russian securities and Russian markets, the Agribusiness ETF, Copper and Electrification Metals ETF and Natural Resources ETF are unable to dispose of the Russian securities in its portfolios, with limited exceptions, and such positions are deemed illiquid. It is unknown when current restrictions will be lifted. In the event that it becomes possible to dispose of Russian securities, other market participants may attempt to liquidate holdings at the same time as the Funds, and the Funds may be unable to transact at advantageous times or prices with respect to such Russian securities. Russia took actions that impact the custody of equity securities of Russian issuers and may be detrimental to the Funds ability to locate and recover such securities. Russia may continue to take similar actions in the future. Custody issues with respect to Russian securities may ultimately result in losses to the Funds. Additionally, while certain Russian securities held by the Agribusiness ETF, Copper and Electrification Metals ETF and Natural Resources ETF have declared dividends, there is no assurance these dividends can be realized by the Funds. As a result, all such dividend receivables related to these Russian securities are valued at $0, as of June 30, 2026.

Note 7—Principal Risks (continued)

 

A more complete description of risks is included in each Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. 

 

Note 8—Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan

 

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

 

The expense for the Plan is included in “Trustees’ fees and expenses” in the Statements of Operations. The liability for the Plan is shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In prior years, the Natural Resources ETF and Oil Services ETF 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. China Semiconductor ETF, Copper and Electrification Metals ETF, Digital India ETF and MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF 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, net of rebates paid to the borrower. Such fees and interest are shared with the securities lending agent under the terms of the securities lending agreement. Securities lending income is disclosed net of rebates and broker fees 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 June 30, 2026, 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 June 30, 2026:

VANECK ETF TRUST

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on June 2-3, 2026 (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 (i) the investment management agreements between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (“VEAC”) (the “VEAC Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, Africa Index ETF, Agribusiness ETF, Brazil Small-Cap ETF, China Bond ETF, ChiNext Innovators ETF, CLO ETF, Copper and Electrification Metals ETF (formerly, VanEck Copper and Green Metals ETF), Digital India ETF, Gold Miners ETF, India Growth Leaders ETF, Indonesia Index ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Israel ETF, J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF, Junior Gold Miners ETF, Low Carbon Energy ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF, MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF, Natural Resources ETF, Office and Commercial REIT ETF, Oil Refiners ETF, Oil Services ETF, Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF, Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF, Russia ETF, Russia Small-Cap ETF, Steel ETF, Uranium and Nuclear ETF and Vietnam ETF, (ii) the investment management agreements between the Trust and Van Eck Absolute Return Advisers Corporation (“VEARA,” and together with VEAC, the “Advisers”) (the “VEARA Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to the VanEck BDC Income ETF and CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF and (iii) the sub-advisory agreements between VEAC and PineBridge Investments, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) with respect to the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF and CLO ETF (together, the “CLO ETFs”). The VEAC Investment Management Agreements, the VEARA Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements 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, 2026. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information the Advisers, the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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 (except for the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF, which had only recently commenced operations, and the VanEck MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF, which had not commenced operations) and the Funds’ peer funds (certain other registered funds), information about the advisory and sub-advisory (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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 Advisers and the Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates as a result of the Advisers’ relationships with the Funds and the Sub-Adviser’s relationship with the CLO ETFs. The Trustees also received a summary of the process by which Broadridge constructed each Fund’s respective peer group, including any changes Broadridge made in response to management’s suggestions. In reviewing performance information for the Funds against their peer groups, the Trustees considered that (i) each Fund, except the VanEck Russia ETF and Russia Small-Cap ETF (together, the “Russia ETFs”) (which are in the process of being liquidated and no longer seeks to track an index) and the CLO ETFs (which are actively managed), is a passively managed fund that seeks to track a specific index and, as a result, has an investment objective that would generally differ from the funds in its designated peer group (to the extent those funds track a different index). Accordingly, each Fund’s (except the Russia ETFs and CLO ETFs) performance is expected to differ from its peers. The Trustees also considered the fact that the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF had only recently commenced operations and therefore had a limited operational history that could be used for comparative purposes. 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 CLO ETFs. The Trustees also considered VEAC’s efforts to address regulatory and operational challenges in managing the Russia ETFs during the Russia ETFs’ process of liquidating their assets and winding up their business.

114 

 

 

The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Agreements was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Advisers and Sub-Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and the Advisers at the May 5, 2026 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 Advisers and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs), 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 Advisers and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) provide under, the Agreements, including, where applicable, (i) with respect to the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, BDC Income ETF, CLO ETF, Copper and Electrification Metals ETF, Digital India ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF, MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF, Natural Resources ETF, Office and Commercial REIT ETF, Oil Services ETF and Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (the “Unitary Funds”), the Advisers’ agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of each Unitary Fund (excluding the fee payment under the applicable VEAC Investment Management Agreement or VEARA Investment Management Agreement, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses), (ii) with respect to all other Funds (the “Non-Unitary Funds”), the Advisers’ commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of each of the Non-Unitary Funds (inclusive of any subsidiary expenses with respect to the VanEck CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF, but excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses for all Non-Unitary Funds) to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each of the Non-Unitary Funds from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of time and (iii) VEAC’s undertaking to waive all of the Russia ETFs’ management fees while the Russia ETFs are in the process of liquidation. With respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees noted the Sub-Adviser’s experience and investment management process with respect to investments in collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) securities and the Sub-Adviser’s experience serving as the investment sub-adviser (or sub-adviser) to other registered investment companies and accounts. The Trustees also considered the sub-advisory fees to be paid to the Sub-Adviser by VEAC and the advisory fees to be retained by VEAC under each Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, effective December 30, 2025, the Sub-Adviser was acquired by MetLife Investment Management, the institutional asset management business of MetLife, Inc., and considered management’s assessment that the transaction did not impact the composition of the investment management team or the services provided by the Sub-Adviser to the CLO ETFs.

 

The Trustees concluded that the Advisers, the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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, 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 (i.e., measured without regard to the impact of fees and expenses) of each Fund except for the CLO ETFs to the performance of the benchmark index that the Fund seeks to track, in each case incorporating any systematic fair value adjustments to the underlying securities. The Trustees also considered information from VEAC and the Sub-Adviser regarding the performance of the CLO ETFs, each an actively managed exchange-traded fund, against their respective benchmark indices and certain other funds that invest in CLOs. The Trustees noted that the VanEck CLO ETF had outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 and the period since its inception on June 21, 2022 through December 31, 2025. The Trustees also noted that the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF had slightly underperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 and the period since its inception on September 24, 2024 through December 31, 2025.

 

The Trustees also considered information relating to the financial condition of the Advisers and the Sub- Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) and the current status, as they understood it, of the Advisers’ and Sub-Adviser’s (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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 had management fees (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver, including, with respect to the Russia ETFs, VEAC’s waiver of all management fees

The Trustees also noted that the information provided showed that each Fund had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver and/ or expense limitation) below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, except that each of the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, Africa Index ETF, BDC Income ETF, China Bond ETF, CLO ETF, CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF, Gold Miners ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Junior Gold Miners ETF, Low Carbon Energy ETF, Oil Refiners ETF, Russia ETF, Russia Small-Cap ETF and Vietnam ETF had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver and/or expense limitation) above the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, each of the VanEck Digital India ETF, India Growth Leaders ETF, Indonesia Index ETF and Oil Services ETF had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver and/or expense limitation) above the average and below the median of its respective peer group of funds and the VanEck Copper and Electrification Metals ETF had a total expense ratio above 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 (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 Advisers providing context for these comparisons. The Trustees noted that the Russia ETFs are bearing legal expenses in connection with their liquidations, which are considered extraordinary expenses for purposes of the Russia ETFs’ expense limitations. 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 VEAC Investment Management Agreements and VEARA Investment Management Agreements, received by the Advisers from serving as advisers to the Funds and the fact that the Sub-Adviser had not identified any such economic benefits.

 

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisers and Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) about their overall profitability and profitability or loss in respect of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size, expense ratio and fee waiver and/or expense limitation, as applicable, and noted that the VEAC Investment Management Agreements, VEARA Investment Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory 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 Advisers 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 Advisers have capped expenses on each of the Non-Unitary Funds 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 each of the CLO ETFs 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 Advisers with respect to the Funds that were profitable to the Advisers were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services received by such Funds.

The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by VEAC or the profitability of the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF to VEAC, which had only recently commenced operations, or the VanEck MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF to VEAC, which had not 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 each of the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF and VanEck MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF by VEAC, although they concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by VEAC were appropriate based on the Trustees’ knowledge of VEAC 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, 2026 meeting as part of their consideration of the Agreements.

 

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

 

VanEck China Semiconductor ETF

 

At a meeting held on June 2-3, 2026 (the “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”), considered and approved the investment management agreement between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the VanEck China Semiconductor ETF (the “Fund”).

 

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

 

In advance of the Meeting, the Trustees received materials from the Adviser, including expense information for other funds. The Adviser provided the Trustees with information regarding, among other things, the various aspects of the Fund’s proposed investment program, fee arrangements and service provider arrangements. The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreement was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Adviser at the 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 manager and others proposed to be involved in the management and administration of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the terms of, 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 considered the benefits, other than the fees under the Investment Management Agreement, that the Adviser would receive from serving as adviser to the Fund. The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser or the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser because the Fund had not yet commenced operations. 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.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2026 (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
   
AA-BB CLO ETF (“AA-BB CLO”) Non-Diversified
BDC Income ETF (“BDC Income”) Diversified
China Bond ETF (“China Bond”) Non-Diversified
CLO ETF Non-Diversified
International High Yield Bond ETF (“International High Yield”) Diversified
J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF (“J.P. Morgan EM”) Non-Diversified
Mortgage REIT Income ETF (“Mortgage REIT”) Non-Diversified
Office and Commercial REIT ETF (“Office and Commercial REIT”) Non-Diversified
Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (“Preferred Securities”) Non-Diversified

 

Each Fund’s investment objective, except for AA-BB CLO ETF and CLO 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.

 

Fund Index
   
BDC Income MVIS® US Business Development Companies Index
China Bond FTSE Chinese Broad Bond 0-10 Years Diversified Select Index
International High Yield ICE BofA Global ex-US Issuers High Yield Constrained Index
J.P. Morgan EM J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Core Index
Mortgage REIT MVIS® US Mortgage REITs Index
Office and Commercial REIT MarketVector™ US Listed Office and Commercial REITs Index
Preferred Securities ICE Exchange-Listed Fixed & Adjustable Rate Non-Financial Preferred Securities Index

 

AA-BB CLO and CLO ETF are actively managed exchange-traded funds that seek capital preservation and current income by primarily investing in investment-grade debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). The China Bond, International High Yield, and J.P. Morgan EM funds expect to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve their 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. China Bond seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in RMB bonds through Bond Connect. BDC Income, Mortgage REIT, Office and Commercial REIT and Preferred Securities each seek to achieve their investment objective through a portfolio of securities in substantially the same weighting as their index. BDC Income may invest in swaps and other types of derivative instruments that have investment exposure to BDCs, including swaps on the benchmark index and/or swaps on the components that comprise the benchmark index. BDC Income may also invest in exchange-traded notes.

 

Van Eck Associates Corp. (“VEAC”) serves as the investment adviser for the Funds, except for BDC Income. Van Eck Absolute Return Advisers Corporation (“VEARA”) serves as the investment adviser to BDC Income. VEAC and VEARA are collectively referred to as the “Adviser”. PineBridge Investments LLC (“PineBridge” or the “Sub-Adviser”) is a Sub-Adviser for AA-BB CLO and CLO ETF. On December 30, 2025, PineBridge was acquired by MetLife, Inc. (“MetLife”) and is now part of MetLife Investment Management, the institutional

asset management business of MetLife. There have been no changes to the investment staff of PineBridge that provide services to the Funds, as well as to each Fund’s portfolio managers, investment philosophy or principal investment strategies and risks, in connection with the transaction.

 

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. Certain foreign securities, whose values may be affected by market direction or events occurring before the Funds’ 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 Fund is 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. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

VANECK ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

 

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  A. Security Valuation (continued)

 

Swap contracts are marked to market daily using either pricing vendor quotations, counterparty prices or model prices and the net change in value, if any, is regarded as an unrealized gain or loss and is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

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 of the Adviser 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 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 (except BDC Income, Mortgage REIT, and Office and Commercial REIT which are declared and paid quarterly). 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

70

VANECK ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

 

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  D. Currency Translation (continued)

 

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. 

 

  F. Use of Derivative Instruments

 

The Funds may invest in derivative instruments. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as OTC derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments or commodities at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivative instruments also involves the risk of loss if the investment adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. Details of this disclosure are found below as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

 

Total Return Swaps

 

BDC Income enters into total return swaps in order to take a “long” position with respect to an underlying referenced asset. The Fund is subject to market price volatility of the underlying referenced asset. A total return swap involves commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent that the total return of the security, group of securities or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Documentation governing the Fund’s swap transactions may contain provisions for early termination of a swap in the event the net assets of the Fund decline below specific levels set forth in the documentation (“net asset contingent features”). If these levels are triggered, the Fund’s counterparty has the right to terminate the swap and require the Fund to pay or receive a settlement amount in connection with the terminated swap transaction. The total return swap position held by the Fund at June 30, 2026 is reflected in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, BDC Income held total return swap contracts for with average monthly notional amount of $562,690,340.

  G. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting or other similar agreements. The Fund may pledge cash and or securities as collateral for derivative instruments. In general, collateral received exceeds the net amount of the unrealized gain/loss or market value of financial instruments. 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 held in the form of money market fund investments, if any, at June 30, 2026 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).

 

The table below presents both gross and net information about the derivative instruments eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities subject to a master netting or similar agreements, as well as financial collateral received or pledged (including cash collateral) as of June 30, 2026. The total amount of collateral reported, if any, is limited to the net amounts of financial assets and liabilities presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the respective financial instruments. In general, collateral received or pledged exceeds the net amount of the unrealized gain/loss or market value of financial instruments.

  H. Segment Reporting

 

The Funds’ Chief Financial Officer and the Funds’ 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.

 

  I. 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.

 

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 June 30, 2026 are as follows:

The Adviser has agreed, until at least May 1, 2027, to waive management fees and assume expenses to prevent each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding their expense limitations.

 

Refer to the Statements of Operations for amounts assumed by the Adviser for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

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

 

Note 4—Capital Share Transactions

 

As of June 30, 2026, 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 6—Income Taxes

 

As of June 30, 2026, for Federal income tax purposes, the identified tax cost, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments owned were as follows:

The tax characteristic of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

 

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 six months ended June 30, 2026, the net realized gains (losses) from foreign exchange rates on securities transactions were $212,669 for China Bond, $149,854 for International High Yield, and $(7,053,580) for J.P Morgan EM.

 

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.

Note 6—Income Taxes (continued)

 

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 June 30, 2026 the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Investments in China: 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 People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) issued guidance (Circular 108) clarifying that nonresidents (including QFIIs, and RQFIIs) are exempted from withholding income tax and value added tax (“VAT”) 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 (“STA”) jointly issued Caishui [2021] No. 34 (“Circular 34”) to formally extend the tax exemption period provided in Circular 108 to June 30, 2026. On January 15, 2026, STA [2026] No.5, extended the Corporate Income Tax (“CIT”) and VAT exemption treatment for the foreign institutions’ bond interest income derived from their investment into the domestic bond market of Mainland China from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027.

 

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 former sub-adviser in this case, and begin collecting capital gains tax, China Bond could be subject to a tax liability via the former 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.

 

Investments in India: India currently assesses a capital gains tax on shares sold on the exchange of 20% on short term capital gains and 12.5% on long term capital gains (plus applicable surcharge and cess). Existing Indian capital loss carryforwards may be utilized to offset capital gains realized on securities sold.

 

The Government of India has issued an ordinance introducing a complete exemption from Indian income tax for foreign portfolio investors (and the Bank for International Settlements) on income from government securities, effective April 1, 2026. Covered income includes: Interest income on government securities Capital gains (both short-term and long-term) on the transfer, sale, or redemption of government securities. Prior to this change, such income was generally taxable (e.g., interest at 20% and capital gains up to 30%, subject to treaty relief). The ordinance eliminates these taxes in full.

 

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. The Funds may purchase securities on foreign exchanges.

76

VANECK ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

 

Note 7—Principal Risks (continued)

 

Securities of foreign issuers involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. These risks include devaluation of currencies, currency controls, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, future adverse economic developments and political conflicts, or natural or other disasters.

 

The Funds (except BDC Income, China Bond, Mortgage REIT, Office and Commercial 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.

 

The AA-BB CLO and CLO ETF assets are concentrated in CLO securities, organized as trusts or other special purpose vehicles that are typically collateralized by a pool of loans which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may individually be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans, and including “covenant lite” loans, which have few or no financial maintenance covenants. CLOs include both the economic risks of the underlying loans combined with the risks associated with the CLO structure governing the priority of payments. The degree of such risk will generally correspond to the specific tranche in which the Funds are invested. The Funds invest primarily in investment grade-rated tranches of CLOs; however, the rating does not constitute a guarantee of credit quality and may be downgraded, and in stressed market environments it is possible that even senior CLO debt tranches could experience losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to defaults due to collateral default and the disappearance of the subordinated/ equity tranches, market anticipation of defaults, as well as negative market sentiment with respect to CLO securities as an asset class. The Funds’ portfolio managers may not be able to accurately predict how specific CLOs or the portfolio of underlying loans for such CLO securities will react to changes or stresses in the market, including changes in interest rates. The most common risks associated with investing in CLO securities are liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, call risk, and the risk of default of the underlying asset. Securities with floating or variable interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with fixed interest rates, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. A decline in interest rates may result in a reduction of income received from floating rate securities held by a Fund and may adversely affect the value of a Fund’s shares. Generally, floating rate securities carry lower yields than fixed notes of the same maturity.

 

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. BDC Income may invest in total return swap agreements that provide economic exposure to the investment returns of underlying BDC companies. The use of derivatives presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Derivative strategies often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing the Fund to lose more money than it would have lost had it invested in the underlying security.

 

China Bond, International High Yield, and J.P. Morgan EM invest in foreign securities. Investments in foreign securities may involve a greater degree of risk than investments in domestic securities due to political, economic or social instability. Foreign investments may also be subject to foreign taxes and settlement delays. Since the Funds may have significant investments in foreign debt securities, they may be subject to greater credit and interest risks and greater currency fluctuations than portfolios with significant investments in domestic debt securities. 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.

 

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.

 

Office and Commercial REIT invests in office and commercial real estate companies and is exposed to the risks of owning real estate directly, as well as to risks that relate specifically to the way in which Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are organized and operated. REITs generally invest directly in real estate, in mortgages or in some combination of the two. Individual REITs may own a limited number of properties and may concentrate in a particular region or property type.

 

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. 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.

 

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, International High Yield, 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.

 

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. AA-BB CLO ETF, CLO ETF and Office and Commercial REIT ETF commenced operations with a unitary management fee and therefore bear no costs 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, net of rebates paid to the borrower. Such fees and interest are shared with the securities lending agent under the terms of the securities lending agreement. Securities lending income is disclosed net of rebates and broker fees 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 June 30, 2026, 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 June 30, 2026:

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on June 2-3, 2026 (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 (i) the investment management agreements between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (“VEAC”) (the “VEAC Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, Africa Index ETF, Agribusiness ETF, Brazil Small-Cap ETF, China Bond ETF, ChiNext Innovators ETF, CLO ETF, Copper and Electrification Metals ETF (formerly, VanEck Copper and Green Metals ETF), Digital India ETF, Gold Miners ETF, India Growth Leaders ETF, Indonesia Index ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Israel ETF, J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF, Junior Gold Miners ETF, Low Carbon Energy ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF, MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF, Natural Resources ETF, Office and Commercial REIT ETF, Oil Refiners ETF, Oil Services ETF, Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF, Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF, Russia ETF, Russia Small-Cap ETF, Steel ETF, Uranium and Nuclear ETF and Vietnam ETF, (ii) the investment management agreements between the Trust and Van Eck Absolute Return Advisers Corporation (“VEARA,” and together with VEAC, the “Advisers”) (the “VEARA Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to the VanEck BDC Income ETF and CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF and (iii) the sub-advisory agreements between VEAC and PineBridge Investments, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) with respect to the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF and CLO ETF (together, the “CLO ETFs”). The VEAC Investment Management Agreements, the VEARA Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements 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, 2026. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information the Advisers, the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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 (except for the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF, which had only recently commenced operations, and the VanEck MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF, which had not commenced operations) and the Funds’ peer funds (certain other registered funds), information about the advisory and sub-advisory (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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 Advisers and the Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates as a result of the Advisers’ relationships with the Funds and the Sub-Adviser’s relationship with the CLO ETFs. The Trustees also received a summary of the process by which Broadridge constructed each Fund’s respective peer group, including any changes Broadridge made in response to management’s suggestions. In reviewing performance information for the Funds against their peer groups, the Trustees considered that (i) each Fund, except the VanEck Russia ETF and Russia Small-Cap ETF (together, the “Russia ETFs”) (which are in the process of being liquidated and no longer seeks to track an index) and the CLO ETFs (which are actively managed), is a passively managed fund that seeks to track a specific index and, as a result, has an investment objective that would generally differ from the funds in its designated peer group (to the extent those funds track a different index). Accordingly, each Fund’s (except the Russia ETFs and CLO ETFs) performance is expected to differ from its peers. The Trustees also considered the fact that the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF had only recently commenced operations and therefore had a limited operational history that could be used for comparative purposes. 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 CLO ETFs. The Trustees also considered VEAC’s efforts to address regulatory and operational challenges in managing the Russia ETFs during the Russia ETFs’ process of liquidating their assets and winding up their business.

82

 

 

The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Agreements was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Advisers and Sub-Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and the Advisers at the May 5, 2026 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 Advisers and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs), 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 Advisers and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) provide under, the Agreements, including, where applicable, (i) with respect to the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, BDC Income ETF, CLO ETF, Copper and Electrification Metals ETF, Digital India ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF, MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF, Natural Resources ETF, Office and Commercial REIT ETF, Oil Services ETF and Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (the “Unitary Funds”), the Advisers’ agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of each Unitary Fund (excluding the fee payment under the applicable VEAC Investment Management Agreement or VEARA Investment Management Agreement, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses), (ii) with respect to all other Funds (the “Non-Unitary Funds”), the Advisers’ commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of each of the Non-Unitary Funds (inclusive of any subsidiary expenses with respect to the VanEck CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF, but excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses for all Non-Unitary Funds) to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each of the Non-Unitary Funds from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of time and (iii) VEAC’s undertaking to waive all of the Russia ETFs’ management fees while the Russia ETFs are in the process of liquidation. With respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees noted the Sub-Adviser’s experience and investment management process with respect to investments in collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) securities and the Sub-Adviser’s experience serving as the investment sub-adviser (or sub-adviser) to other registered investment companies and accounts. The Trustees also considered the sub-advisory fees to be paid to the Sub-Adviser by VEAC and the advisory fees to be retained by VEAC under each Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, effective December 30, 2025, the Sub-Adviser was acquired by MetLife Investment Management, the institutional asset management business of MetLife, Inc., and considered management’s assessment that the transaction did not impact the composition of the investment management team or the services provided by the Sub-Adviser to the CLO ETFs.

 

The Trustees concluded that the Advisers, the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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, 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 (i.e., measured without regard to the impact of fees and expenses) of each Fund except for the CLO ETFs to the performance of the benchmark index that the Fund seeks to track, in each case incorporating any systematic fair value adjustments to the underlying securities. The Trustees also considered information from VEAC and the Sub-Adviser regarding the performance of the CLO ETFs, each an actively managed exchange-traded fund, against their respective benchmark indices and certain other funds that invest in CLOs. The Trustees noted that the VanEck CLO ETF had outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 and the period since its inception on June 21, 2022 through December 31, 2025. The Trustees also noted that the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF had slightly underperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 and the period since its inception on September 24, 2024 through December 31, 2025.

 

The Trustees also considered information relating to the financial condition of the Advisers and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) and the current status, as they understood it, of the Advisers’ and Sub-Adviser’s (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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

83

VANECK ETF TRUST

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

(unaudited) (continued)

 

that the information provided showed that each Fund had management fees (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver, including, with respect to the Russia ETFs, VEAC’s waiver of all management fees payable by each of the Russia ETFs since March 22, 2022) below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, except that each of the VanEck Low Carbon Energy ETF and MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF had management fees below the average and equal to the median of its respective peer group of funds, each of the VanEck Africa Index ETF, Digital India ETF and Vietnam ETF had management fees (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver) above the average and below the median of its respective peer group of funds, each of the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, BDC Income ETF, CLO ETF, Gold Miners ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF and Junior Gold Miners ETF had management fees above the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, each of the VanEck Copper and Electrification Metals ETF and Oil Services ETF had management fees above the average and equal to the median of its respective peer group of funds and each of the VanEck Agribusiness ETF and Uranium and Nuclear ETF had management fees below the average and above the median of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees also noted that the information provided showed that each Fund had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver and/ or expense limitation) below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, except that each of the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, Africa Index ETF, BDC Income ETF, China Bond ETF, CLO ETF, CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF, Gold Miners ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Junior Gold Miners ETF, Low Carbon Energy ETF, Oil Refiners ETF, Russia ETF, Russia Small-Cap ETF and Vietnam ETF had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver and/or expense limitation) above the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, each of the VanEck Digital India ETF, India Growth Leaders ETF, Indonesia Index ETF and Oil Services ETF had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver and/or expense limitation) above the average and below the median of its respective peer group of funds and the VanEck Copper and Electrification Metals ETF had a total expense ratio above 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 (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 Advisers providing context for these comparisons. The Trustees noted that the Russia ETFs are bearing legal expenses in connection with their liquidations, which are considered extraordinary expenses for purposes of the Russia ETFs’ expense limitations. 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 VEAC Investment Management Agreements and VEARA Investment Management Agreements, received by the Advisers from serving as advisers to the Funds and the fact that the Sub-Adviser had not identified any such economic benefits.

 

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisers and Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) about their overall profitability and profitability or loss in respect of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size, expense ratio and fee waiver and/or expense limitation, as applicable, and noted that the VEAC Investment Management Agreements, VEARA Investment Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory 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 Advisers 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 Advisers have capped expenses on each of the Non-Unitary Funds 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 each of the CLO ETFs 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 Advisers with respect to the Funds that were profitable to the

84

 

 

Advisers were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services received by such Funds.

 

The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by VEAC or the profitability of the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF to VEAC, which had only recently commenced operations, or the VanEck MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF to VEAC, which had not 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 each of the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF and VanEck MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF by VEAC, although they concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by VEAC were appropriate based on the Trustees’ knowledge of VEAC 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, 2026 meeting as part of their consideration of the Agreements.

 

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2026 (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
   
Russia ETF Non-Diversified
Russia Small-Cap ETF Non-Diversified

 

Prior to the Funds’ plan of liquidation (See Note 2), the Funds sought to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of their index. Effective July 31, 2023, the MVIS Russia Index and the MVIS Russia Small-Cap Index were decommissioned.

 

The Russia ETF declared a distribution of $0.0119 per share on December 22, 2025, to shareholders of record as of December 22, 2025. The distribution was paid to Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) to be distributed to shareholders on December 26, 2025. However, this distribution is currently being held by DTCC pending the issuance of a license from the Office of Foreign Assets Control under applicable sanctions regulations relating to Russia authorizing DTCC to release the distribution held and to forward the distribution held to the shareholders of the Russia ETF. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers with regard to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the unpaid distribution.

 

The Russia ETF has qualified as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, due to the restrictions on the Russia ETF’s ability to pay distributions, the Russia ETF will be unable, unless the restrictions are lifted, to pay the required distributions of its investment company taxable income and realized capital gains, if any. Regulated investment companies are required to annually distribute at least 90% of their investment company taxable income. Unless these restrictions are lifted, the Russia ETF will be unable to meet this requirement and will no longer be qualified as a regulated investment company after certain deadlines have passed. The loss of qualification is likely to result in income tax liability for the Russia ETF and result in economic loss for the shareholders of the Russia ETF.

 

In January 2026, State Street Bank and Trust Company, which serves as custodian and provides transfer agency and fund accounting services to the Russia ETF, indicated that, due to certain restrictions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, State Street Bank and Trust Company and its affiliates will no longer process any financial transactions, including distributions for the Russia ETF. The Russia ETF will therefore have no operational mechanism to conduct transactions, pay expenses, or effect distributions to shareholders. As outlined above, regulated investment companies are required to annually distribute at least 90% of their investment company taxable income. Without the ability to have its financial transactions processed, if the Russia ETF earned investment company taxable income for a particular taxable year, the Russia ETF would be unable to meet this annual distribution requirement and would no longer be qualified as a regulated investment company after certain deadlines have passed. The loss of qualification would likely result in income tax liability for the Russia ETF and result in economic loss for the shareholders of the Russia ETF.

 

Note 2— Plan of Liquidation

 

Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine and the geo-political events that followed have significantly adversely impacted the Funds’ operations since March 2022. The governments of the United States and many other countries imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and Russian governmental, corporate and banking entities. A number of jurisdictions also instituted broad sanctions on Russia, including banning Russia from global payments systems that facilitate cross-border payments. In response, the government of Russia imposed capital controls to restrict movements of capital entering and exiting the country. As a result, the value and liquidity of Russian securities and its currency have experienced significant declines.

VANECK ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

 

Note 2— Plan of Liquidation (continued)

 

The Russian securities markets were closed for a period of time and were reopened on March 24, 2022, but significant trading limitations have remained. It remains uncertain how long this will persist.

 

As a result, the fair value of Russian securities held by the Funds were valued near or at zero since shortly after the invasion and have rendered virtually all of the Funds’ investments in equity securities, including depositary receipts, illiquid.

 

On September 29, 2022, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Trustees”) unanimously voted to approve a Plan of Liquidation and Termination of the Funds, contingent on receiving any necessary relief from the SEC. On December 28, 2022, the SEC granted exemptive relief to each Fund permitting them to suspend the right of redemption with respect to shares of each Fund and, if necessary, postpone the date of payment of redemption proceeds with respect to redemption orders received but not yet paid until the Funds complete the liquidation of their portfolios and distribute all of their assets to remaining shareholders. Furthermore, because the Funds have been delisted by Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. in connection with the liquidation of the Funds, the Funds are no longer exchange-traded funds and we do not anticipate that there will be a trading market for your shares. Upon payment of the final liquidating distribution, the Funds will be terminated.

 

The Funds will not engage in any business or investment activities except for the purposes of winding up their affairs. It is expected that the liquidation of the Funds will take an extended period of time, if circumstances involving Russian securities markets do not improve.

 

While certain Russian securities held by the Funds have declared dividends, there is no assurance these dividends can be collected by the Funds. As a result, all such dividend receivables related to these Russian securities are valued at $0 as of June 30, 2026.

 

The Funds may be terminated at any time on a date determined by the Board, even if the Russian securities and depositary receipts have not been sold. Due to the uncertainty involved, there can be no assurance that shareholders will receive any additional liquidating distributions relating to the Russian securities and depositary receipts. The distribution to shareholders of sale proceeds of Russian securities and depositary receipts, if any, will be reduced by expenses related to the sale.

 

In connection with the Plan of Liquidation, the Funds shall bear the expenses incurred in connection with carrying out liquidation, including, but not limited to, printing and legal expenses, audit and tax services fees, and the expenses of reports to shareholders. All such expenses will be considered extraordinary expenses for purposes of any expense limitation in effect with respect to the Fund.

 

Refer to the Liquidation FAQ posted on the Funds’ webpages for additional information.

 

Note 3— 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

(unaudited) (continued)

 

Note 3— Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  A. Security Valuation (continued)

 

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 Funds’ 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 Fund is open. Short-term debt securities with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

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 of the Adviser convenes regularly to review the fair value of financial instruments or other assets. If market quotations for a security or other asset are not readily available, or if the Adviser believes they do not otherwise reflect the fair value of a security or asset, the security or asset will be fair valued by the Pricing Committee in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures. The Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approaches utilized to determine fair value, including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, periodic comparisons to valuations provided by other independent pricing services, transactional back-testing and disposition analysis.

 

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

 

The holdings of the Funds at June 30, 2026 are generally restricted from trading and any currency denominated in Rubles cannot be repatriated, therefore the Pricing Committee is currently fair valuing these investments at $0 as represented in the Schedule of Investments and deeming all these holdings as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 3— Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  A. Security Valuation (continued)

 

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 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. However, as outlined in the Fund Organization (Note 1), due to the restrictions on the Russia ETF’s ability to pay distributions, the Russia ETF will be unable, unless the restrictions are lifted, to pay the required distributions of its investment company taxable income and realized capital gains, if any, in accordance with the Russia ETF’s policy.

 

  C. Distributions to Shareholders

 

In accordance with the Plan of Liquidation and Termination, the Funds may make a series of liquidating distributions at various times. Additionally, until termination, each of the Funds may declare taxable distributions of income (if any) and/or net capital gains, (if any after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) to continue to satisfy the Federal income and excise tax distribution requirements for regulated investment companies. See Note 1 for distribution information.

 

  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 June 30, 2026.

 

  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

  F. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (continued)

 

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 June 30, 2026 is presented in the Schedules of Investments and in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral, if any, is disclosed in Note 10 (Securities Lending).

 

  G. Segment Reporting

 

The Chief Financial Officer and the Treasurer act as the Funds’ chief operating decision maker (CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. In accordance with the Plan of Liquidation, the Funds will not engage in any business or investment activities except for the purposes of winding up their affairs. Therefore, the CODM has determined that segment reporting is not applicable.

 

  H. Other

 

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification 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.

 

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 4— Investment Management and Other Agreements

 

Prior to March 11, 2022, the Adviser received a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective March 11, 2022, the Adviser has implemented a waiver of the Funds’ management fee, which will continue to be in effect while the Funds liquidate. The Adviser may eliminate such management fee waiver in its sole discretion at any time. In addition, the Adviser has temporarily agreed to waive and assume expenses to prevent each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, depositary receipt fees, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding the expense limitations listed in the table below.

 

The management fee rates and expense limitations for the six months ended June 30, 2026, are as follows:

 

Fund   Management
Fees*
  Expense
Limitations
Russia ETF     0.50 %     0.62 %
Russia Small-Cap ETF     0.50       0.67  

 

* Fee rates reflected are those in effect before voluntary waivers.

 

Refer to the Statements of Operations for the amounts assumed by the Adviser for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

In connection with the Plan of Liquidation (Note 2), the Funds shall bear the expenses incurred in connection with carrying out liquidation, including, but not limited to, printing and legal expenses, audit and tax services fees, and the expenses of reports to shareholders. All such expenses will be considered extraordinary expenses for purposes of any expense limitation in effect with respect to the Fund.

17

VANECK ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

 

Note 4— Investment Management and Other Agreements (continued)

 

Due to the restrictions on Russia ETF (described in Note 1), the Adviser is advancing all expenses for Russia ETF. The Adviser will be reimbursed for such payments when restrictions are lifted. Refer to the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for amounts paid as of June 30, 2026 included in Due to Adviser.

 

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.

 

Note 5— Capital Share Transactions

 

As of June 30, 2026, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Since March 2, 2022, VanEck Russia Small-Cap ETF had temporarily suspended new creations of its shares and since March 3, 2022, VanEck Russia ETF had temporarily suspended new creations of its shares. Such suspensions became permanent on December 28, 2022, when the Plan of Liquidation and Termination of the Funds became effective.

 

Note 6— Investments

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments). One position held by RSXJ was written off due to bankruptcy by the issuer and cancellation of shares. The Fund received no proceeds.

 

Note 7— Income Taxes

 

As of June 30, 2026, 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:

 

Fund     Tax Cost of
Investments
    Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation
    Gross
Unrealized
Depreciation
    Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
Russia ETF   $ 1,484,032,892     $     $ (1,450,914,375 )   $ (1,450,914,375 )
Russia Small-Cap ETF     22,041,657             (21,660,943 )     (21,660,943 )

 

The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

 

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, if any, 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 June 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

As outlined in the Fund Organization (Note 1), due to the restrictions on the Russia ETF’s ability to pay distributions, the Russia ETF will be unable, unless the restrictions are lifted, to pay the required distributions of its investment company taxable income and realized capital gains, if any. Regulated investment companies are required to annually distribute at least 90% of their investment company taxable income. Unless these restrictions are lifted, the Russia ETF will be unable to meet this requirement and will no longer be qualified as a regulated investment company after certain deadlines have passed. The loss of qualification is likely to

(unaudited) (continued)

 

Note 7— Income Taxes (continued)

 

result in income tax liability for the Russia ETF and result in economic loss for the shareholders of the Russia ETF.

 

Note 8— 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. The Funds own securities on foreign exchanges. Securities of foreign issuers involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. These risks include devaluation of currencies, currency controls, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, future adverse economic developments and political conflicts, or natural or other disasters. Additionally, the Funds invest in securities of emerging market issuers, which are exposed to a number of risks that may make these investments volatile in price, difficult to trade, and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets. 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.

 

As a result of the current conditions related to Russian securities and Russian markets as outlined in the Plan of Liquidation (Note 2), the Funds are unable to dispose of the Russian securities in their portfolios, with limited exceptions, and the Funds’ portfolios have become illiquid. It is unknown when current restrictions will be lifted. In the event that it becomes possible to dispose of Russian securities, other market participants may attempt to liquidate holdings at the same time as the Funds, and the Funds may be unable to transact at advantageous times or prices. Russia recently took actions that impact the custody of equity securities of Russian issuers and may be detrimental to a Fund’s ability to locate and recover such securities. Russia may continue to take similar actions in the future. Custody issues with respect to Russian securities may ultimately result in losses to a Fund. Furthermore, State Street Bank and Trust Company, which serves as custodian and provides transfer agency and fund accounting services to the Russia ETF, indicated that, due to certain restrictions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, State Street Bank and Trust Company and its affiliates will no longer process any financial transactions, including distributions for the Russia ETF. The Russia ETF will therefore have no operational mechanism to conduct transactions, pay expenses, or effect distributions to shareholders.

 

In addition, as outlined in the Fund Organization (Note 1), due to the restrictions on the Russia ETF’s ability to pay distributions, the Russia ETF will be unable, unless the restrictions are lifted, to pay the required distributions of its investment company taxable income and realized capital gains, if any. Regulated investment companies are required to annually distribute at least 90% of their investment company taxable income. Unless these restrictions are lifted, the Russia ETF will be unable to meet this requirement and will no longer be qualified as a regulated investment company after certain deadlines have passed. The loss of qualification is likely to result in income tax liability for the Russia ETF and result in economic loss for the shareholders of the Russia ETF.

 

A more complete description of risks is included in each Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

 

Note 9— Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan

 

The Trust has a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for Trustees under which a Trustee 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 of the Trust as directed by the Trustees.

 

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

Note 10— 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 net of rebates and broker fees 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 any, at June 30, 2026, 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 June 30, 2026:

VANECK ETF TRUST

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on June 2-3, 2026 (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 (i) the investment management agreements between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (“VEAC”) (the “VEAC Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, Africa Index ETF, Agribusiness ETF, Brazil Small-Cap ETF, China Bond ETF, ChiNext Innovators ETF, CLO ETF, Copper and Electrification Metals ETF (formerly, VanEck Copper and Green Metals ETF), Digital India ETF, Gold Miners ETF, India Growth Leaders ETF, Indonesia Index ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Israel ETF, J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF, Junior Gold Miners ETF, Low Carbon Energy ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF, MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF, Natural Resources ETF, Office and Commercial REIT ETF, Oil Refiners ETF, Oil Services ETF, Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF, Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF, Russia ETF, Russia Small-Cap ETF, Steel ETF, Uranium and Nuclear ETF and Vietnam ETF, (ii) the investment management agreements between the Trust and Van Eck Absolute Return Advisers Corporation (“VEARA,” and together with VEAC, the “Advisers”) (the “VEARA Investment Management Agreements”) with respect to the VanEck BDC Income ETF and CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF and (iii) the sub-advisory agreements between VEAC and PineBridge Investments, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) with respect to the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF and CLO ETF (together, the “CLO ETFs”). The VEAC Investment Management Agreements, the VEARA Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements 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, 2026. At that meeting, the Trustees discussed the information the Advisers, the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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 (except for the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF, which had only recently commenced operations, and the VanEck MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF, which had not commenced operations) and the Funds’ peer funds (certain other registered funds), information about the advisory and sub-advisory (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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 Advisers and the Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates as a result of the Advisers’ relationships with the Funds and the Sub-Adviser’s relationship with the CLO ETFs. The Trustees also received a summary of the process by which Broadridge constructed each Fund’s respective peer group, including any changes Broadridge made in response to management’s suggestions. In reviewing performance information for the Funds against their peer groups, the Trustees considered that (i) each Fund, except the VanEck Russia ETF and Russia Small-Cap ETF (together, the “Russia ETFs”) (which are in the process of being liquidated and no longer seeks to track an index) and the CLO ETFs (which are actively managed), is a passively managed fund that seeks to track a specific index and, as a result, has an investment objective that would generally differ from the funds in its designated peer group (to the extent those funds track a different index). Accordingly, each Fund’s (except the Russia ETFs and CLO ETFs) performance is expected to differ from its peers. The Trustees also considered the fact that the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF had only recently commenced operations and therefore had a limited operational history that could be used for comparative purposes. 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 CLO ETFs. The Trustees also considered VEAC’s efforts to address regulatory and operational challenges in managing the Russia ETFs during the Russia ETFs’ process of liquidating their assets and winding up their business.

22

 

 

The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Agreements was based, in part, on their review of information obtained through discussions with the Advisers and Sub-Adviser at the Renewal Meeting and the Advisers at the May 5, 2026 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 Advisers and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs), 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 Advisers and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) provide under, the Agreements, including, where applicable, (i) with respect to the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, BDC Income ETF, CLO ETF, Copper and Electrification Metals ETF, Digital India ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF, MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF, Natural Resources ETF, Office and Commercial REIT ETF, Oil Services ETF and Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (the “Unitary Funds”), the Advisers’ agreement to pay all of the direct expenses of each Unitary Fund (excluding the fee payment under the applicable VEAC Investment Management Agreement or VEARA Investment Management Agreement, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, offering costs, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses), (ii) with respect to all other Funds (the “Non-Unitary Funds”), the Advisers’ commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of each of the Non-Unitary Funds (inclusive of any subsidiary expenses with respect to the VanEck CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF, but excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses for all Non-Unitary Funds) to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each of the Non-Unitary Funds from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of time and (iii) VEAC’s undertaking to waive all of the Russia ETFs’ management fees while the Russia ETFs are in the process of liquidation. With respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees noted the Sub-Adviser’s experience and investment management process with respect to investments in collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) securities and the Sub-Adviser’s experience serving as the investment sub-adviser (or sub-adviser) to other registered investment companies and accounts. The Trustees also considered the sub-advisory fees to be paid to the Sub-Adviser by VEAC and the advisory fees to be retained by VEAC under each Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered that, effective December 30, 2025, the Sub-Adviser was acquired by MetLife Investment Management, the institutional asset management business of MetLife, Inc., and considered management’s assessment that the transaction did not impact the composition of the investment management team or the services provided by the Sub-Adviser to the CLO ETFs.

 

The Trustees concluded that the Advisers, the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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, 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 (i.e., measured without regard to the impact of fees and expenses) of each Fund except for the CLO ETFs to the performance of the benchmark index that the Fund seeks to track, in each case incorporating any systematic fair value adjustments to the underlying securities. The Trustees also considered information from VEAC and the Sub-Adviser regarding the performance of the CLO ETFs, each an actively managed exchange-traded fund, against their respective benchmark indices and certain other funds that invest in CLOs. The Trustees noted that the VanEck CLO ETF had outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 and the period since its inception on June 21, 2022 through December 31, 2025. The Trustees also noted that the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF had slightly underperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 and the period since its inception on September 24, 2024 through December 31, 2025.

 

The Trustees also considered information relating to the financial condition of the Advisers and the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) and the current status, as they understood it, of the Advisers’ and Sub-Adviser’s (with respect to the CLO ETFs) 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 had management fees (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver, including, with respect to the Russia ETFs, VEAC’s waiver of all management fees

payable by each of the Russia ETFs since March 22, 2022) below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, except that each of the VanEck Low Carbon Energy ETF and MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF had management fees below the average and equal to the median of its respective peer group of funds, each of the VanEck Africa Index ETF, Digital India ETF and Vietnam ETF had management fees (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver) above the average and below the median of its respective peer group of funds, each of the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, BDC Income ETF, CLO ETF, Gold Miners ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF and Junior Gold Miners ETF had management fees above the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, each of the VanEck Copper and Electrification Metals ETF and Oil Services ETF had management fees above the average and equal to the median of its respective peer group of funds and each of the VanEck Agribusiness ETF and Uranium and Nuclear ETF had management fees below the average and above the median of its respective peer group of funds. The Trustees also noted that the information provided showed that each Fund had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver and/ or expense limitation) below the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, except that each of the VanEck AA-BB CLO ETF, Africa Index ETF, BDC Income ETF, China Bond ETF, CLO ETF, CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF, Gold Miners ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Junior Gold Miners ETF, Low Carbon Energy ETF, Oil Refiners ETF, Russia ETF, Russia Small-Cap ETF and Vietnam ETF had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver and/or expense limitation) above the average and median of its respective peer group of funds, each of the VanEck Digital India ETF, India Growth Leaders ETF, Indonesia Index ETF and Oil Services ETF had a total expense ratio (after the effect of any applicable fee waiver and/or expense limitation) above the average and below the median of its respective peer group of funds and the VanEck Copper and Electrification Metals ETF had a total expense ratio above 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 (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 Advisers providing context for these comparisons. The Trustees noted that the Russia ETFs are bearing legal expenses in connection with their liquidations, which are considered extraordinary expenses for purposes of the Russia ETFs’ expense limitations. 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 VEAC Investment Management Agreements and VEARA Investment Management Agreements, received by the Advisers from serving as advisers to the Funds and the fact that the Sub-Adviser had not identified any such economic benefits.

 

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisers and Sub-Adviser (with respect to the CLO ETFs) about their overall profitability and profitability or loss in respect of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size, expense ratio and fee waiver and/or expense limitation, as applicable, and noted that the VEAC Investment Management Agreements, VEARA Investment Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory 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 Advisers 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 Advisers have capped expenses on each of the Non-Unitary Funds 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 each of the CLO ETFs 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 could not consider the historical performance or actual management fees or operating expenses of, or the quality of services previously provided to each of the VanEck MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment ETF and VanEck MSCI EM Analyst Sentiment ETF by VEAC, although they concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by VEAC were appropriate based on the Trustees’ knowledge of VEAC and its personnel and the operations of the other series of the Trust.
