MARKET VECTORS TRUST ETF

 

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for the municipal bond funds of the Market Vectors ETF Trust for the six months ended October 31, 2009.

Overall, the performance of municipal bonds, as represented by the broad Barclays Municipal Index, was strong during the semi-annual period, as the tax-exempt bond market continued to recover from darker days at the end of 2008. The Barclays Municipal Index returned 4.99% during the six months ended October 31, 2009, and the high-yield municipal market was even stronger, as evidenced by the 19.55% return of the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Index during the same time period.

Several factors contributed to the municipal bond market’s strength during the semi-annual period.

 

 

n

Demand for municipal bonds increased, fueled by the absolute values offered relative to other fixed income sectors. Further, the realization that municipal bonds represented a less volatile and more creditworthy vehicle than many other non-Treasury fixed income sectors gave comfort to investors seeking an alternative to the near-zero yields offered by their money market mutual funds. It is worth noting that as much as twice the amount of cash that left tax-exempt managed accounts and municipal bonds at the end of 2008 had, by the end of October, poured back into these same investment vehicles, including record amounts making their way into the municipal high-yield space. With money market funds yielding less than 50 basis points (1/2 of 1%), it was no wonder that demand in excess of $40 billion surged into municipal bond funds during the semi-annual period, eclipsing the annual record of $28.6 billion in 1993.

 

 

n

Macroeconomic trends buoyed demand for municipal bonds as well. Among these trends were a synchronized global economic recovery that led to an ebbing of investor risk aversion and the view that the stimulus provided by the U.S. Treasury Department and Federal Reserve was beginning to provide a financial backstop for state governments and local agencies to offset the decline in tax collections and loss of assessed valuations in local real estate markets.

 

 

n

The introduction of the Build America Bond (BAB) program skewed the supply/demand equation, creating attractive technicals. The Build America Bond program, introduced via the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, authorizes state and local governments to issue BABs as taxable bonds in 2009 and 2010 to finance any capital expenditures for which they otherwise could issue tax-exempt governmental bonds. State and local governments receive a direct federal subsidy payment for a portion of their borrowing costs

on BABs equal to 35% of the total coupon interest paid to investors. This program is intended to stimulate the economy and create jobs by allowing state and local governments to finance capital projects at lower borrowing costs. The BAB program lifted the municipal bond market above the “freeze” level by injecting funds into state and local government coffers and attracting an entirely new category of investor, i.e. taxable institutions such as pension funds, banks and private equity firms, to a market once the domain exclusively of the retail and mutual fund investor. It also had the effect, during the semi-annual period, of taking new issue supply out of the municipal bond market in the amount of approximately $40 billion. This, in turn, caused the market to bid up the price of remaining newly issued municipal bonds in the secondary market, leading to the robust performance of municipal bonds across the spectrum of maturities and within the high-yield municipal market as well.

 

 

n

Municipal bonds have, over time, experienced the lowest default rate of any other fixed income vehicle, other than U.S. Treasuries. During the semi-annual period, credit quality was sustained. Past studies done by Moody’s and S&P® reflect an overall default rate on municipal bonds at less than 1/2 of 1% for rolling 20-year periods. Defaults within the municipal bond market remained a relatively uncommon event, with only two defaults amongst the securities Moody’s rates and none among all the S&P rated securities in 2009 through October 31, including high-yield securities. Also, interestingly, upgrades of issues by Moody’s and S&P increased in contrast to the perception by many who looked upon the deterioration of the economy throughout the country as a systemic event. To be fair, downgrades also increased at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, and are anticipated to continue to rise while the economy struggles to deal with severe budget imbalances, job losses and a severely weakened housing market. Still, state and local governments generally have won praise for rapidly adjusting to “belt tightening” necessities.

At the end of October 2009, our view for the months ahead remained constructive. We expected demand for municipal bonds to continue to outpace tax-exempt supply. Tax-exempt supply from November through the end of 2009 was expected to be $10 billion less than the five-year average of tax-exempt issuance, constrained in part by taxable debt. Meanwhile, the stunning resurgence in demand during 2009 year-to-date, as evidenced by 30 consecutive weeks of positive inflows to tax-exempt mutual funds, was expected to continue. Thus, from a technical perspective, we believe municipal bonds were well-positioned to perform well relative to the broader fixed income market through at least the middle of 2010. From a fundamental point of view, property valuations and tax and revenue collections are likely to remain a challenge. The tally of tax receipts and recurring revenues had not been fully accounted for at the end of

October and some states, such as California, were anticipated to experience ongoing weakness as a result of the recession. That said, and while past performance is no guarantee of future results, municipal bonds remained a vehicle that carries a long history of meeting their obligations. Please note, however, that municipal bonds are subject to risk, including but not limited to, credit and interest rate risk.

Perhaps the best observation to be made is that municipal bond ETFs ended the period with their appeal enhanced as a favorable investment alternative for a wide range of investors. They offered diversification, intraday access and competitive yields. All of these remain key benefits for long-term investors, whatever the current market conditions. Indeed, during the semi-annual period ended October 31, 2009 alone, total assets under management in the five municipal bond funds of the Market Vectors ETF Trust grew nearly 49% to more than $305 million.

On the following pages, you will find the performance record of each of the five municipal bond funds of the Markets Vectors ETF Trust for the period ended October 31, 2009. You will, of course, also find their financial statements and portfolio information.

I want to thank you for your participation in the Market Vectors ETF Trust. Please contact us at 1.888.MKT.VCTR or visit vaneck.com/muni if you have any questions. We value your ongoing confidence in us and look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results or investment advice. Current market conditions may not continue.

Municipal bonds are subject to risks related to litigation, legislation, political change, conditions in underlying sectors or in local business communities and economies, bankruptcy or other changes in the issuer’s financial condition, and/or the discontinuance of taxes supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. Additional risks include credit, interest rate, call, reinvestment, tax, market and lease obligation risk. High-yield municipal bonds are subject to greater risk of loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities, and are likely to be more sensitive to adverse economic changes or individual municipal developments than those of higher-rated securities. Interest and principal payments for pre-refunded bonds are funded from securities in an escrow account. The escrowed securities do not guarantee the price of these bonds. Municipal bonds may be less liquid than taxable bonds. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s income will be exempt from federal or state income taxes, and changes in those tax rates or in alternative minimum tax rates or in the tax treatment of municipal bonds may make them less attractive as investments and cause them to lose value. Capital gains, if any, are subject to capital gains tax. For a more complete description of these and other risks, please refer to each Fund’s prospectus.

Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, offering costs and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.35% of average daily net assets per year at least until September 1, 2010.

The price used to calculate market return (SHARE PRICE) is determined by using the closing price listed on the NYSE Arca. Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement (2/4/09) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (2/5/09), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate market returns.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund reflects current temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. Investment return and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 1.888.MKT.VCTR or by visiting www.vaneck.com/etf. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST

 

EXPLANATION OF EXPENSES

(unaudited)

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This disclosure is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The disclosure is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, May 1, 2009 to October 31, 2009.

Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period”.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on your Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as fees on purchase payments. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2009 (unaudited)

Note 1—Fund Organization—Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was incorporated in Delaware as a statutory trust on March 15, 2001. The Trust operates as a series fund, and as of October 31, 2009, offers twenty-one (21) investment portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of the Trust (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”).

These financial statements relate only to High-Yield Municipal Index ETF (“High-Yield”), Intermediate Municipal Index ETF (“Intermediate”), Long Municipal Index ETF (“Long”), Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF (“Pre-Refunded”) and Short Municipal Index ETF (“Short”), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”. Each Fund’s investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of its Index. The Funds expect to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve their objective. Sampling means that the Adviser uses quantitative analysis to select municipal 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. The Funds and their respective Indices and commencement of operations dates are presented below:

Note 2–Significant Accounting Policies–In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB ASC 105 (formerly FASB Statement No. 168), The “FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM” and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”) which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. ASC 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“Codification”

76



 

 

or “ASC”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification supersedes all existing accounting and reporting standards. ASC 105 requires the Funds to reference GAAP in their financial statements according to the new codification standards. The funds adopted ASC 105 on September 15, 2009.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

 

 

A.

Security Valuation–Each Fund’s portfolio securities (except for short-term debt securities and certain other investments) are valued by an outside independent pricing service. The service uses a computerized grid matrix of tax-exempt securities and its own evaluations in determining what the service believes is the fair value of the portfolio securities. Each Fund believes that timely and reliable market quotations are generally not readily available to each Fund to value tax- exempt securities and the valuations that the pricing service supplies are more likely to approximate the fair value of the securities. U.S. municipal securities may be valued as of the announced closing time for trading in municipal instruments on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) recommends an early closing time. Money Market Fund investments are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term debt securities purchased with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates market value. Each Fund may also use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when the value of a security in a Fund’s portfolio has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which the security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of a security) or trading in a security has been suspended or halted. Accordingly, a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is expected to reflect certain portfolio securities’ fair values rather than their market prices. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s benchmark index. This may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to track its benchmark index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)


 

 

 

The Board of Trustees has approved and regularly reviews fair value pricing methods to be used in determining the good faith value of the investments of the Funds in the event that market quotations are not readily available or, if available, do not reflect the impact of certain market or specific issue events. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security.

 

 

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis which includes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The 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 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 the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

 

In April 2009, FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, (“ASC 820”) was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. ASC 820 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. ASC 820 also requires additional disclosures on fair valuation inputs and techniques and requires expanded fair value hierarchy disclosures by each major security type. The Funds have adopted ASC 820 effective July 31, 2009.

 

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of October 31, 2009 is as follows:

B.

Federal Income Taxes–It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

 

C.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders—Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least monthly by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and paid annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from

such amounts determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

 

D.

Other–Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Transactions in certain securities may take longer than the customary settlement cycle to be completed. The counterparty is required to collateralize such trades with cash in excess of the market value of the transaction, which is held at the custodian and marked to market daily. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned.

 

 

E.

Use of Derivative Instruments — In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”), which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. ASC 815 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities requiring that: (1) the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. The Fund adopted ASC 815 May 1, 2009. The Funds did not utilize derivative instruments during the six months ended October 31, 2009.

Note 3–Investment Management and Other Agreements–Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, except for High-Yield which has an annual rate of 0.50%. The Adviser has agreed, at least until September 1, 2010, to voluntarily waive or limit its fees and to assume as its own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the Funds so that each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding interest expense) do not exceed the expense caps listed in the table below.

84



 

 

 

The expense caps and the amounts assumed by the Adviser for the period ended October 31, 2009, are as follows:

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by applicable tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (tax years ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2009), or expected to be taken in the Funds’ current tax year. Therefore, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

Note 6–Capital Share Transactions–As of October 31, 2009, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units, consisting of 100,000 shares, or multiples thereof. The consideration for the purchase or redemption of Creation Units of the Funds generally consists of the in-kind contribution or distribution of equity securities constituting the Funds’ underlying index plus a small amount of cash. For the period ended October 31, 2009, the Trust had only cash contributions.

Note 7–Concentration of Risk–The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, as indicated in the name of each Fund. The Adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to achieve each Fund’s investment objective. The Funds use a sampling approach in which the Adviser uses quantitative analysis to select municipal bonds that represent a sample of securities in the index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. Each of the Funds is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issues, or to a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers. Investments in municipal securities involve risks similar to those of investing in any fund of fixed income securities traded on exchanges, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices.

86



 

 

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

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 deferred compensation plan is included in “Trustees fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations. The liability for the deferred compensation plan is shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 9—Name Change and Stock Split—On October 24, 2008, the names of three Funds were changed as follows:

 

 

 

 

Former Name

 

New Name

 

 

 

 

 

Market Vectors–Lehman Brothers

 

AMT-Free Long Municipal Index ETF

Market Vectors Long Municipal Index ETF

Market Vectors–Lehman Brothers

 

AMT-Free Intermediate Municipal Index ETF

Market Vectors Intermediate Municipal Index ETF

Market Vectors–Lehman Brothers

 

AMT-Free Short Municipal Index ETF

Market Vectors Short Municipal Index ETF

The Lehman indices group was acquired by Barclays Capital, which continues to provide the indexes underlying the Funds, and the investment objectives and policies of the Funds remain unchanged.

On October 10, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Market Vectors ETF Trust approved a split of the shares for Intermediate, Long, and Short. The stock splits took place for shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 21, 2008, and were payable on October 23, 2008. Fund shares began trading on a split-adjusted basis on October 24, 2008. Intermediate split its shares five-for-one, Long split its shares five-for-one, and Short split its shares three-for-one.

87




 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

The splits lowered the share price of these Funds by increasing the number of shares outstanding, but did not change the total value of shares outstanding. The expected primary benefit of this action was that lower share prices will make these Funds more accessible to investors.

Note 10—Subsequent Event Review–The Funds have adopted FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) which was issued in May 2009 and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. ASC 855, requires evaluation of subsequent events through the date of financial statement issuance. The Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

APPROVAL OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2009

(unaudited)

At a meeting held on June 18, 2009 (the “Renewal Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the investment management agreement between the Trust and the Adviser (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to the Market Vectors California Long Municipal Index ETF, Fixed Income I ETF, Fixed Income II ETF, High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, Intermediate Municipal Index ETF, Long Municipal Index ETF, Massachusetts Municipal Index ETF, New Jersey Municipal Index ETF, New York Long Municipal Index ETF, Ohio Municipal Index ETF, Pennsylvania Municipal Index ETF, Pre-Refunded Municipal Index ETF and Short Municipal Index ETF (the “Funds”) through June 30, 2010.

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

In advance of each of the Renewal Meeting and a prior meeting held on June 5, 2009 (the “First Meeting”), the Trustees received materials from the Adviser and from Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent, third party data provider. The Independent Trustees’ consideration of the Investment Management Agreement was based on their review of these materials and information obtained through discussions at each of the Renewal Meeting and the First Meeting and at prior meetings among themselves and with management, including the background and experience of the portfolio managers and others involved in the administration of the Trust. The Trustees considered the terms of, and scope of services that the Adviser provides under, the Investment Management Agreement, including the Adviser’s commitment to waive fees and/or pay expenses of the ETFs to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each ETF from exceeding agreed upon limits at least until September 1, 2010. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser and its personnel had the requisite expertise and skill to manage the Funds’ portfolios, especially in light of the performance of those Funds which had commenced operations. In evaluating a Fund’s performance, the Trustees focused primarily on the Adviser’s success in tracking the Fund’s underlying index and understanding whether any material deviations were the result of factors beyond the Adviser’s control, such as differences created by fair value pricing. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser’s performance was satisfactory in this regard. The Trustees also considered information relating to the financial condition of the Adviser, the current status, as they understood it, of the Adviser’s compliance environment and the Adviser’s analysis of the Trust’s other service providers.

89



 

 

 

APPROVAL OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

(continued)

As noted above, the Trustees were also provided various data from Lipper comparing the Funds to other exchange-traded funds with respect to expenses, performance and tracking error. The Trustees concluded, in light of this information and the other information available to them, that the fees paid by the Funds were reasonable in light of the quality of services received. The Trustees noted that this comparative data, while generally helpful, was limited in its usefulness in many cases due to the lack of a large number of directly comparable exchange-traded funds. The Trustees were also aware of the other benefits received by the Adviser from serving as adviser of the Funds and from providing administrative services to the Funds, and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor for the Funds.

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser about the overall profitability of the Adviser and its profitability or loss in respect of each Fund which had commenced operations. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether current fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size, expense ratio and expense cap and noted that the Investment Management Agreement provides for breakpoints in the advisory fee rates as a result of any increases in the asset levels of a Fund. The Trustees noted that the Funds were still relatively new products, which therefore made it difficult to quantify the potential variability in net assets and thus determine the sustainability of any potential economies of scale which may exist. Based on the foregoing and the other information available to them, the Trustees determined that the advisory fee rate for each Fund is reasonable and appropriate in relation to the current asset size of each Fund and the other factors discussed above and currently reflects an appropriate sharing of any economies of scale which may exist with shareholders. The Trustees further noted that none of the Funds currently generated any profits to the Adviser.

The Trustees did not consider historical information about the profitability of Market Vectors California Long Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors Fixed Income I ETF, Market Vectors Fixed Income II ETF, Market Vectors Massachusetts Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors New Jersey Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors New York Long Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors Ohio Municipal Index ETF and Market Vectors Pennsylvania Municipal Index ETF to the Adviser since none of these Funds had commenced operations at the time of the Renewal Meeting. However, the Adviser agreed to provide the Trustees with profitability information in connection with future proposed continuances of the Investment Management Agreement relating to these Funds. In addition, since none of these Funds had commenced operations, the Trustees were not in a position to consider

the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to each of these Funds pursuant to each Fund’s Investment Management Agreement.

The Independent Trustees met in executive session during both the First Meeting and the Renewal Meeting with their independent counsel as part of their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement.

In voting to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreement are reasonable and fair in light of the services to be performed, the fees paid by certain other funds, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees further concluded that the Investment Management Agreement is in the interest of the ETFs and each ETF’s shareholders.
