Excludes fees and expenses incurred indirectly as a result of investments in underlying funds.

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • Municipal closed-end funds (CEF) delivered strong positive returns over the reporting period, supported by elevated tax-exempt income, Federal Reserve rate cuts that reduced CEF leverage costs, and improving investor sentiment toward leveraged municipal structures. Record issuance also expanded the opportunity set for active portfolio managers to add value.

  • The underlying closed-end fund holdings traded at a weighted average discount to net asset value of -3.99% as of April 30, 2026, meaningfully tighter than at the start of the period. Discounts widened sharply early in the period before compressing steadily, ending near their tightest level over the reporting period.

  • The Nuveen AMT-Free Quality Municipal Income Fund and Nuveen AMT-Free Municipal Credit Income Fund were the largest contributors to the Fund’s performance. The Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund and PIMCO Municipal Income Fund were the largest detractors from performance, though the impact was minimal.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • High yield municipal bonds delivered positive returns over the reporting period, supported by resilient credit fundamentals, elevated tax-exempt income, and Federal Reserve rate cuts. Steady investor demand and stable high yield credit spreads kept market technicals broadly favorable, even as record new issuance came to market.

  • Securities from California, New York, and Illinois were the largest contributors to the Fund’s performance, reflecting their size and positive absolute returns. Puerto Rico also contributed meaningfully, while Nevada and Missouri were the only states to detract from performance.

  • The Fund’s exposure to the Tax and Industrial Development Revenue sectors contributed the most to performance over the reporting period. Hospital sector bonds also contributed, while Tobacco was the only sector to detract from performance.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • Intermediate municipal bonds delivered positive returns over the reporting period, benefiting from elevated income, improving demand for duration as the Federal Reserve rate cuts took hold, and resilient investment grade credit fundamentals. The intermediate segment offered an attractive balance between income and price appreciation throughout the period.

  • Securities from New York, California, and Texas were the largest contributors to the Fund’s performance, reflecting their dominant combined weight in the portfolio. No state detracted from performance, consistent with the broadly positive return environment across investment grade municipal issuers.

  • The Fund’s exposure to Local General Obligations, State General Obligations, and Tax bonds contributed the most to performance, reflecting their large combined allocation. All sector exposures contributed positively, with no detractors from performance.

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • Long maturity municipal bonds outperformed their short and intermediate duration counterparts over the reporting period. Record issuance elevated yields and created attractive entry points early in the period, while Federal Reserve rate cuts drove price appreciation across long-duration tax-exempt bonds in the second half. Securities from New York, California, and Texas were the largest contributors to the Fund’s performance, reflecting their dominant combined weight in the portfolio. Returns were positive across virtually all state exposures, and no state detracted materially from performance.

  • The Fund’s exposure to Local General Obligations, Tax, and Hospital bonds contributed the most to performance over the reporting period, driven by their significant allocation weights and strong absolute returns. All sector exposures contributed positively, with no detractors from performance.

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • Short high yield municipal bonds delivered positive returns over the reporting period, benefiting from elevated income, structurally scarce supply of short-dated high yield paper, and growing demand for duration-limited tax-exempt yield as the Federal Reserve pivoted toward rate cuts.

  • Securities from New York, Puerto Rico, and Illinois were the largest contributors to the Fund’s performance. Texas also contributed meaningfully. Nevada was the largest detractor from Fund performance , while Florida detracted modestly on a slightly negative absolute return.

  • The Fund’s exposure to Local General Obligations, Hospital, and Tax bonds contributed the most to performance over the reporting period. All sector exposures contributed positively, with Industrial Development Revenue bonds contributing modestly despite being the Fund’s largest sector weight.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund at NAV over the past 10 fiscal years.

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • Short maturity investment grade municipal bonds delivered positive returns over the reporting period, supported by stable credit fundamentals and elevated yields. The short end of the yield curve was less sensitive to the rate volatility that weighed on longer-dated bonds, with income driving the majority of return.

  • Securities from California, New York, and Texas were the largest contributors to the Fund’s performance. Returns were broadly positive and tightly clustered across states, consistent with the Fund’s investment grade profile, and no state materially detracted from performance.

  • The Fund’s exposure to State General Obligations, Local General Obligations, and Tax bonds contributed the most to performance, reflecting their combined dominant weight in the portfolio. All sector exposures contributed positively, with no sectors detracting from performance during the period.

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

 

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

 

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

 

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

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies.

 

A. Security Valuation

 

The Funds value their investments in securities and other assets and liabilities at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis, which includes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

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

 

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

 

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

Securities traded on national exchanges are valued at the closing price on the markets in which the securities trade. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Over-the-counter securities not included on NASDAQ and listed securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded, they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. 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. Non-exchange traded warrants of publicly traded companies are generally valued using quotations from brokers.

 

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

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

A. Security Valuation (continued)

 

in the fair value hierarchy. The price which the Funds may realize upon sale of an investment may differ materially from the value presented in the Schedules of Investments.

 

A summary of the inputs and the levels used to value the Funds’ investments are located in the Schedule of Investments. Additionally, tables that reconcile the valuation of the Funds’ Level 3 investments and that present additional information about valuation methodologies and unobservable inputs, if applicable, are located in the Schedules of Investments.

 

B. Federal Income Taxes

 

It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

C. Distributions to Shareholders

 

Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly by each fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Income dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital distributions, if any, are determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP, due to recharacterization for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions that exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported for tax purposes as a return of capital. A portion of a dividend may be reclassified as a tax return of capital upon the final determination of the Fund’s taxable income which can only be determined after the Fund’s fiscal year end.

 

D. Currency Translation

 

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

 

E. Restricted Securities

 

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

 

F. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting or other similar agreements. Generally, the right of offset in those agreements allows the Funds to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. The Funds may receive cash and or securities as collateral for

221

VANECK ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

F. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (continued)

 

securities lending. In general, collateral received exceeds the net amount of the unrealized gain/loss or market value of financial instruments. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds present securities lending assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cash collateral received for securities lending held in the form of money market fund investments, if any, at April 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).

 

G. Segment Reporting

 

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

 

H. Other

 

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

 

The Funds earn interest income on uninvested cash balances held at the custodian bank. Such amounts, if any, are presented as interest income in the Statements of Operations.

 

The character of distributions received from certain investments may be comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the Funds’ policy to estimate the character of distributions received from these investments based on historical data if actual amounts are not available. After each calendar year end, these investments report the actual tax character of distributions. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts are reflected in the Funds’ records in the year in which they are reported by adjusting the related cost basis of investments, capital gains and income, as necessary. 

 

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

 

Note 3—Investment Management and Other Agreements

 

The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

The Funds listed in the table below utilize a unitary management fee structure where the Adviser will pay all Fund expenses, except for the fee payment under the investment management agreement, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses. The unitary management fee rates for the year ended April 30, 2026 are as follows:

 

Fund   Management
Fees
CEF Muni     0.40
Emerging Markets High Yield     0.40  
Fallen Angel     0.25

*Prior to September 1, 2025 the management fee rate was 0.35%

 

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.

 

During the year ended April 30, 2026, the Adviser reimbursed High Yield $109,005 and Short High Yield $3,783 due to an operational error as disclosed in the Statement of Changes of Net Assets. Per share and total return impacts to the Funds are disclosed in the Financial Highlights.

 

At April 30, 2026, the Adviser owned approximately 7% of Moody’s Analytics BBB.

 

Note 4—Capital Share Transactions

 

As of April 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 Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained assuming examination by applicable tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded

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

 

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended April 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

In December 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2023-09”) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosures, including providing specific information regarding income taxes paid. The new disclosures are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the year ended April 30, 2026 for all of the Funds included in these financial statements. Management has evaluated the implications of these changes and determined that no additional disclosures are necessary for any of the Funds.

 

Under the PRC Corporate Income Tax regime, China imposes WHT at a rate of 10% (subject to treaty relief) on PRC-sourced capital gains derived by nonresident enterprises, provided that the nonresident enterprises (i) do not have places of business, establishments or permanent establishments in the PRC; and (ii) are not PRC tax resident enterprises. Capital gains derived on investments through the China Bond Connect Program from the transfer of bonds issued by PRC entities are considered to be non PRC-sourced and therefore not subject to WHT.

 

PRC rules for taxation of investments through the China Bond Connect Program are evolving and future tax guidance issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation and/or PRC Ministry of Finance may apply retroactively regarding the tax treatment of capital gains derived from the transfer of Chinese bonds by nonresidents. If the PRC tax authorities were to issue differing formal guidance or tax rules regarding capital gains from Chinese Bond investments made through the Bond Connect Program, and begin collecting capital gains tax, Green Bond and Emerging Markets High Yield Bond could be subject to a tax liability.

 

Note 7—Principal Risks

 

Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds (see Note 1) and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers.

 

Investments in bonds, including municipal bonds and Funds holding municipal securities, involve risks, including market fluctuations caused by factors such as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds.

 

The Emerging Markets High Yield, Fallen Angel, Green Bond, High Yield and Short High Yield may directly or indirectly invest in non-investment grade securities, often referred to as “junk bonds.” Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. These high yield securities may involve greater risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. government bonds and other high quality fixed-income securities. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high yield securities may be less liquid to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market. These Funds may not be able to sell bonds at desired prices and large purchases or sales of certain high-yield bond issues may cause substantial fluctuations in share price, yield and total return.

 

Certain Funds invest in foreign securities which may involve a greater degree of risk than investments in domestic securities due to political, economic or social instability. Foreign investments may also be subject to foreign taxes and settlement delays. Since the Funds may have significant investments in foreign debt

Note 7—Principal Risks (continued)

 

securities, they may be subject to greater credit and interest risks and greater currency fluctuations than portfolios with significant investments in domestic debt securities.

 

Additionally, certain Funds may invest in securities of emerging market issuers, which are exposed to a number of risks that may make these investments volatile in price or difficult to trade. Political risks may include unstable governments, nationalization, restrictions on foreign ownership, laws that prevent investors from getting their money out of a country, sanctions and investment restrictions and legal systems that do not protect property risks as well as the laws of the United States. These and other factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets. These risks include devaluation of currencies, currency controls, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, future adverse economic developments and political conflicts, or natural or other disasters.

 

Green Bond may invest in bonds whose proceeds are used principally for climate mitigation, climate adaption or other environmentally beneficial projects. Some “green” investments may be dependent on government tax incentives and subsidies and on political support for certain environmental technologies and companies.

 

Moody’s Analytics BBB invests in BBB-rated bonds, which are typically subject to greater risk of downgrade than other investment grade bonds. The risk of downgrade to below-investment grade will be heightened during an economic downturn or a substantial period of rising interest rates. Any downgrade of such bonds would relegate them from the investment grade universe to the high yield (or “junk” bond) universe, which could negatively affect their value.

 

CEF Muni invests in closed-end funds that may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. The Fund is dependent on the performance of underlying funds and are subject to the same risks of investing in municipal bonds. A closed-end fund may be leveraged as part of its investment strategy. As a result, the Fund may be indirectly exposed to the effects of leverage through its investment in the underlying funds. Investments in underlying funds that use leverage may cause the value of the Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if the Fund invested in underlying funds that do not utilize leverage.

 

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

 

Note 8—Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan

 

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

 

In prior years, the CEF Muni, Emerging Markets High Yield, Fallen Angel, Green Bond, High Yield, IG Floating Rate, Intermediate, Long and Short adopted a unitary management fee in which the Adviser is responsible for paying all expenses of the Funds. For these Funds, the liability for the Plan which is shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities represents amounts accrued through the date of conversion to a unitary management fee structure. Moody’s Analytics BBB, Moody’s Analytics IG and Short High Yield commenced operations with a unitary management fee, and therefore bear no cost or liabilities relative to the Plan.

 

Note 9—Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, certain 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

Note 9—Securities Lending (continued)

 

or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Funds will continue to receive any dividends, interest or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned while receiving a fee from the borrower and or earning interest on the investment of the cash collateral. Such fees and interest are shared with the securities lending agent under the terms of the securities lending agreement. Securities lending income is disclosed as such in the Statements of Operations. Cash collateral is maintained on the Funds’ behalf by the lending agent and is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio. Non-cash collateral consists of U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government Agency securities, and is not disclosed in the Fund’s Schedules of Investments or Statements of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the agent on behalf of the Funds. The Funds do not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Fund securities identical to the securities loaned. The Funds bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The value of loaned securities and related cash collateral, if any, at April 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 April 30, 2026:

Note 10—Bank Line of Credit

 

The Funds may participate in a $200 million committed credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Funds at the request of the shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds have agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the unused but available balance. Interest is charged to the Funds based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the year ended April 30, 2026, the following Funds borrowed under this Facility:

Opinions on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of each of the funds listed in the table below (twelve of the funds constituting VanEck ETF Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2026, the related statements of operations for the year ended April 30, 2026, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended April 30, 2026 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds listed in the table below as of April 30, 2026, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2026, and each of the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended April 30, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended April 30, 2022, and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to April 30, 2022 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 23, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

 

Basis for Opinions

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

(a) Funds with an amount in these columns have qualified to pass-through foreign taxes and foreign source income to their shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders may include their share of foreign source income on Form 1116 (Form 1118 for corporations) and may either deduct your portion of the taxes in computing your taxable income or take a credit for such taxes against your tax liability. To determine your foreign source income, multiply your share of the fund’s total ordinary income dividends by the percentage indicated.

 

(b) These amounts represent ordinary income from the taxable year ended April 30, 2026 that are eligible to be treated as interest income for purposes of Section 163(j) and the regulations thereunder. To treat a dividend as interest income, shareholders must have held shares on which the dividend was paid for at least 180 days during the 361-day period surrounding the ex-dividend date of the distribution. To determine your 163(j) interest income, multiply your share of the fund’s total ordinary income dividends by the percentage indicated.

 

(c) These amounts represent ordinary income from the taxable year ended April 30, 2026 that were considered to be Qualified Interest Income (“QII”) distributions. The QII distributions may be exempt from United States withholding tax when distributed to non-U.S. shareholders with proper documentation. To determine your QII, multiply your share of the fund’s total ordinary income dividends by the percentage indicated.

The per share amounts of taxable vs. tax-exempt income and return of capital paid monthly by the funds during the taxable year ended April 30, 2026, are listed in the table below. The information set forth below is for each Fund’s fiscal year. Shareholders, however, must report dividends on a calendar year basis for income tax purposes, which may include dividends for portions of two fiscal years of a Fund. Accordingly, the information needed by shareholders for calendar year 2026 income tax purposes will be sent to them in early 2027. Additionally, all of the taxable ordinary income represents Qualified Interest Income (QII) for non-resident alien shareholders.

(a) A return of capital is not considered tax-exempt income to shareholders. Shareholders who received these distributions should not consider these amounts in tax-exempt income and should treat them as a reduction of the cost basis of the applicable shares upon which these distributions were paid. In order to compute the required adjustment to cost basis, a shareholder should us the more detailed information provided on Form 8937-Organizational Actions Affecting Basis provided on the funds’ website at www.vaneck.com.
