Supplement dated December 11, 2007 (“Supplement”)

to the Statement of Additional Information

dated

December 4, 2007

 

This Supplement updates certain information contained in the above-dated Statement of Additional Information for Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”) regarding the Market Vectors—Lehman Brothers AMT-Free Intermediate Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors—Lehman Brothers AMT-Free Long Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors—Lehman Brothers AMT-Free Short Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors—Lehman Brothers High-Yield Municipal Index ETF, Market Vectors—Lehman Brothers AMT-Free California Long Municipal Index ETF and Market Vectors—Lehman Brothers AMT-Free New York Long Municipal Index ETF, each a series of the Trust. You may obtain copies of the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information free of charge, upon request, by calling toll-free 1.800.826.2333 or by visiting the Van Eck website at www.vaneck.com.

The disclosure in the section titled “Dividends and Distributions--General Policies” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least monthly by each Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and paid once a year, but the Trust may make distributions on a more frequent basis for each Fund to improve its Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, in all events in a manner consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act. It is currently expected that each Fund will distribute virtually all of its net income (interest less expenses) monthly while capital gains distributions will generally occur annually in December. In addition, the Trust may distribute at least annually amounts representing the full dividend yield on the underlying portfolio securities of the Funds, net of expenses of the Funds, as if each Fund owned such underlying portfolio securities for the entire dividend period in which case some portion of each distribution may result in a return of capital for tax purposes for certain shareholders.

Dividends and other distributions on Shares are distributed, as described below, on a pro rata basis to Beneficial Owners of such Shares. Dividend payments are made through DTC Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners then of record with proceeds received from the Trust. The Trust makes additional distributions to the minimum extent necessary (i) to distribute the entire annual taxable income of the Trust, plus any net capital gains and (ii) to avoid imposition of the excise tax imposed by Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code. Management of the Trust reserves the right to declare special dividends if, in its reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income.

 

 

Please retain this Supplement for future reference.
