We now offer four interesting high yield bond ETFs, two of them launched during the past twelve months. High yield markets are growing significantly (please see discussion below) and offer income when global growth is stable or accelerating.
■ | Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (HYEM), launched on May 8, 2012, invests in high yield bonds issued by companies in Asia, Latin American and other emerging market areas. |
■ | Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (THHY), launched on March 21, 2013, combines the more liquid portion of the high-yield bond universe with short positions in 5-year U.S. Treasury notes to help hedge against the risk of rising interest rates, while offering income potential. |
■ | Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (ANGL) invests in high yield corporate bonds that once were investment-grade, but have been downgraded to non-investment grade. |
■ | International High Yield Bond ETF (IHY) invests in non-U.S. high yield corporate debt with 56% in Europe, 34% in emerging markets and the balance in other. |
Finally, the launch of two other new funds over the past twelve months offers unique dividend income opportunities:
■ | Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (PFXF), launched on July 16, 2012, offers exposure to the income potential of preferred securities without the volatility characteristics of financials. |
■ | BDC Income ETF (BIZD), launched on February 11, 2013, provides dividend income from tax-advantaged companies that lend to companies with higher credit risk. |

Going forward, we will, as always, continue to seek out and evaluate both the most attractive opportunities, and the most effective solutions to the challenges that you, as a shareholder, face. On the following pages, you will find the performance record of each of the funds for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2013. You will also find their financial statements and portfolio information. We value your ongoing confidence in us and look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future.

The global high-yield corporate bond universe, defined by the BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Index1, has grown to $1,548 billion for both the U.S. and foreign markets. As shown in the graph, global high yield bond market value increased by more than seven times from 1997 through 2012. The non-U.S. share of the global high yield market increased over this period from 10.9% to 44.1%.2

Indexes are unmanaged and are not securities in which an investment can be made.
The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index3 returned 3.68% for the twelve months ending April, and the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index4 performed even better, returning 13.98% over the same period.5 As a result of high yield bond performance spreads over 10 year U.S. Treasuries have compressed. Today, however, in comparison with other low default rate environments, most recently during the 2004-2007 periods, high yield spreads remain relatively wide, with the potential for further compression.

Even as the Federal Reserve holds short-term U.S. interest rates near zero and continues its aggressive “quantitative easing,” investors are starting to anticipate the potential for a future increase in rates, and, accordingly, many are adjusting portfolios toward shorter maturities. This trend influenced a steepening yield curve during the first quarter of 2013, with short- and intermediate-term debt instruments outperforming long-term bonds. In late March, the trend reversed temporarily. Long-term Treasuries rallied, due mainly to banking sector problems in Cyprus and increased

concerns over a potential debt crisis in Europe. Through these fluctuations, one recent trend has remained relatively constant: In searching for yield, investors have demonstrated a willingness to assume higher credit risk while also seeking to reduce exposure to long-term maturities and the related bond price volatility.
Demand for preferred securities also has increased with the search for yield. Recently, The Wall Street Journal reported that preferred issuance reached $13.6 billion in the U.S. in the first four months of 2013. This was the fastest pace of preferred securities issuance since 2008.6
EQUITY INCOME
Business Development Companies (BDCs)
Because BDCs typically invest in, and lend to, small, privately held companies, they are susceptible to concerns over the creditworthiness of those companies and fluctuations in the capital markets used to finance such transactions. In late March, BDCs experienced a period of underperformance and high volatility relative to the broad market. However, by the end of April, BDCs had erased much of that underperformance. The industry ended the period offering an attractive dividend yield of 7.64% as measured by the Market Vectors® US Business Development Companies Index7.
Mortgage REITs
Boosted by an attractive spread between short-term borrowing rates and mortgage yields, Mortgage REITs flourished through the first five months of the previous period. Concerns regarding “quantitative easing”, mortgage prepayments and dividend reductions contributed to a sell-off in the sector at the end of calendar year 2012. Mortgage REITs ended the period strong, while yielding 10.87% as measured by the Market Vectors® Global Mortgage REITs Index8.
Preferred Securities
Preferred securities exhibited strong performance from late July as returns remained relatively stable compared to the broad equity markets. The non-financial “preferreds” market was driven by automobiles, aerospace and defense, and healthcare providers & services. Metals and mining companies, as well as oil, gas and consumable fuels were the main detractors.
INTERNATIONAL BOND
Latin American Bonds
The death of Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez on March 5, after a long bout with cancer, produced a mild short-term decline in the country’s bonds, temporarily halting a rally based on prospects for new leadership and government reform.9 Also, the government of Brazil successfully sold $1.35 billion in sovereign bonds in September 2012, but the Brazilian bond market has since run into setbacks based on inflation and growth concerns.10 These events have left Mexico as perhaps the most stable large bond issuer in Latin America. Holders of Mexican bonds have been were helped by a relatively calm political transition following the election of President Enrique Pena Nieto in July.
Renminbi Bonds
The dim-sum market consists of bonds denominated in Chinese currency (renminbi) and sold to market participants outside mainland China. In addition to receiving bond interest payments, investors can use this market to gain access to China’s currency, which is widely viewed as being undervalued.
After growing rapidly to $13.88 billion in issuance in 2011, China’s offshore dim-sum bond market stagnated at $13.99 billion in 2012, according to The Wall Street Journal. A leading index of the market, the HSBC Offshore Renminbi Bond Index11, fell 7.63% over the course of 2012, before recovering in early 2013. Two large dim-sum bond offerings in early 2013, by New World China Land and China Minmetals (not held by the Fund) have helped to revive dim-sum issuance.12
Emerging Market Bonds
With the slowdown in Europe and slow economic growth in the U.S., emerging markets have become the main global growth engine, and their monetary policy, generally, has not been as heavy-handed as in developed nations. Emerging markets sovereign debt instruments have offered relatively attractive yields over the past twelve months. When issues are denominated in local currency, they also offer U.S. investors currency diversification and appreciation potential against the dollar.13
A leading index of this market, the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMG Core Index14, tracks bonds of 16 emerging market countries denominated in local currencies. During the past year, the index has added bonds of Romania and Nigeria as components.

CORPORATE BONDS
Investment Grade Floating Rate Notes
Floating rate notes are investment grade-rated corporate debt issues with variable coupons that reset to current interest rates, based on an index. The coupons paid on these securities fluctuate with the index. Therefore, floating rate notes tend to display a higher degree of price stability in environments when interest rates are moving up or down. The floating rate feature seeks to act as protection against loss of principal when interest rates rise. While investment grade credit quality, the fund’s average allocation tends to be toward the lower end of the investment grade quality scale. The greatest source of positive contribution came from exposure to A- average rated bonds, led by Citigroup (6.2% of Fund net assets†) with the top performing bond of the group. Also rated A-, National City Bank (1.4% of Fund net assets†) was the bottom performer, but its impact was negligible to overall returns.
Fallen Angel Bonds
“Fallen angels” are high-yield corporate bonds that once were investment-grade, but have been downgraded to non-investment grade. Current examples of U.S. fallen angel issuers include Masco, Regions Bank, Frontier Communications, Weyerhaeuser, Ally Financial and Sprint Nextel (3.1%, 3.0%, 2.9%, 2.5%, 3.4%, 2.0% of Fund net assets, respectively†). Fallen angels tend to have a higher rate of ascension to investment grade than original issue high yield bonds. In April, Dish Network (not held by the Fund) announced a $25.5 billion bid to acquire Sprint Nextel. The bid caused Sprint’s fallen bonds to fall by about 3%, due to anticipated higher leverage and risk involved in funding the proposed acquisition.15 Sprint is also being targeted as an acquisition by Softbank (not held by the Fund), a transaction which has lower perceived credit risk by the market. In 2013, fallen angel General Motors raised $2.5 billion in new debt through its finance unit ($500 million more than originally planned) to finance the acquisition of foreign operations of fallen angel Ally Financial.16
In May 2012, Ford ascended out of the fallen angel category when Moody’s increased its credit rating to investment-grade.17 In November, the largest steel producer in the world, ArcelorMittal (9.4% of Fund net assets†), became a fallen angel when Moody’s cut its credit rating below investment-grade.18
The banking and telecommunications sectors contributed the most return toward the fund, with Ally Financial leading the banking sector and Sprint Nextel leading its sector as well as the top-ten fund performers. While not significantly impacting the fund, J.C. Penney (1.5% of Fund net assets†) negatively contributed to return slightly.
International High Yield Bonds
The market for non-U.S. high yield corporate debt has grown (in market value) from $24 billion in 1997 to $683 billion in 201219, based on the BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Index. Investors who focus only on U.S. high yield bonds are missing at least 44% of the world’s current high yield opportunities, and also those regions with the highest rates of high yield market growth. Europe now accounts for about 27% of global high yield corporate bond market value, and emerging markets represent about 12%. Recently, annual default rates in the high yield bond sector have been relatively low, around 3%.
Strong returns from international high yield bonds were driven primarily from the U.K. and French banking sectors along with the industrials sector, led by France’s building materials producer Lafarge (2.0% of Fund net assets†). Only the services sector negatively contributed to returns, mainly from exposure to Urbi Desarrollos Urbanos (0.1% of Fund net assets†), a Mexican real estate services company.
Emerging Markets High Yield Bonds
As a subset of the international high yield bond markets, emerging markets high yield bonds saw solid returns driven by the industrials and real estate sectors. Chinese and Russian issuers as a whole contributed the most to returns, led by Chinese real estate companies Country Garden Holdings Co. Ltd. and Agile Property Holdings Ltd. (1.7% and 1.0% of Fund net assets) and from Russian telecommunications firm Vimple Communications (2.4% of Fund net assets†).

Gross Expense Ratio 4.82% / Net Expense Ratio 0.40%
Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has 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, trading expenses,taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2014. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.
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.

Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 (Since Inception)
Commencement date for the Market Vectors Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF was 7/22/10.
1 | The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on 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 (7/22/10) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (7/23/10), 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 temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.
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 marketvectorsetfs.com.
Gross Expense Ratio 0.48% / Net Expense Ratio 0.47%
Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has 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, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.47% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2013. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.
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 “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

Commencement date for the Market Vectors Mortgage REIT Income ETF was 8/16/11.
1 | The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on 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 (8/16/11) to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (8/17/11), 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 temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.
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 marketvectorsetfs.com.
Gross Expense Ratio 0.58% / Net Expense Ratio 0.41%
Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) has 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, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year until at least September 1, 2013. During such time, the expense limitation is expected to continue until the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such expense limitation.
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 “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors exchange-traded fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value. Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST
(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, November 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013.
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 the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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 the 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.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST
April 30, 2013
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 April 30, 2013, offers fifty-two investment portfolios, each of which represents a separate series of the Trust.
These financial statements relate only to the following investment portfolios: BDC Income ETF (“BDC Income”), Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets High Yield”), Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (“Emerging Markets Local Currency”), Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (“Fallen Angel”), International High Yield Bond ETF (“International High Yield”), Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (“Investment Grade”), LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (“LatAm”), Mortgage REIT Income ETF (“Mortgage REIT”), Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (“Preferred Securities”), Renminbi Bond ETF (“Renminbi”) and Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (“Treasury-Hedged”), 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 (except BDC Income, Mortgage REIT and Preferred Securities) expect to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve their objectives. Sampling means that Van Eck Associates Corporation (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. BDC Income, Mortgage REIT and Preferred Securities seek to achieve their investment objective through a portfolio of securities in substantially the same weighting as their 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 following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
A. | Security Valuation–The Funds value their investments in securities and other assets and liabilities carried 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. Securities traded on national exchanges or traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last sales price as reported at the close of each business day. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Over-the-counter securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System 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 (described below). Certain foreign securities, whose values may be affected by market |

direction or events occurring before the Funds’ pricing time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard 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. Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees 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 or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Closed-end publicly listed fund investments are valued at their official market closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Short-term obligations with more than sixty days remaining to maturity are valued at market value. Short-term obligations with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee of the Adviser appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Pricing Committee provides oversight of the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities, dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value. The Pricing Committee convenes regularly to review the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available. 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, 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 security specific information are used to determine the fair value for these securities. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these securities may be classified 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 on the Schedules of Investments. | |
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy assume the financial instruments were transferred at the beginning of the reporting period. 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). | |
A summary of the inputs, the levels used to value the Funds’ investments, and transfers between levels are located in the Schedules 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 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 (except Mortgage REIT and BDC Income which are declared and paid quarterly). 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 GAAP. |
82 |
D. | Securities Sold Short–Treasury-Hedged may invest in securities sold short. A short sale occurs when a Fund sells a security, which it does not own, by borrowing it from a broker. Proceeds from securities sold short are reported as liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are marked to market daily in accordance with the fair value methodology described in Note 2A. Gains and losses are classified as realized when short positions are closed. In the event that the value of the security which the Fund sold short declines, the Fund will gain as it repurchases the security in the market at the lower price. If the price of the security increases, the Fund will suffer a loss, as it will have to repurchase the security at the higher price. Short sales may incur higher transaction costs than regular securities transactions. Interest on securities sold short is accrued daily and recorded as an expense by the Fund. Cash as collected is deposited in a segregated account with brokers, maintained by the Fund, for its open short sales. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund maintains securities or permissible liquid assets in a segregated account with a broker or custodian sufficient to cover its short positions. Securities sold short held by Treasury-Hedged at April 30, 2013 are reflected in the Schedule of Investments. |
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. 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. 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) on foreign currency transactions and foreign denominated assets and liabilities in the Statements of Operations. |
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 at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. |
G. | Use of Derivative Instruments–The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. 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 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 instruments. The Funds held no derivative instruments outstanding during the year ended April 30, 2013. |
H. | 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or an increase in realized gain. Such amounts are based upon estimates if actual amounts are not available, and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from estimated amounts. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is accrued as earned. Interest income is generally not earned on debt securities in default or upon determination that the income is not realizable. |
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 is the investment adviser to the Funds. 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 Adviser has agreed, at least until September 1, 2013 (September 1, 2014 for BDC Income and Treasury-Hedged), for the Funds 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 does not exceed the expense caps, excluding interest expense and interest on securities sold short, listed in the table below:

On December 22, 2010 the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in the pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

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 open tax years (tax years ended April 30, 2010-2012), or expected to be taken in the Funds’ current tax year. 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.
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, 2013, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Note 6–Capital Share Transactions–As of April 30, 2013, 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, or multiple thereof, as follows:
Fund | 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 plus a small amount of cash. For the year ended April 30, 2013, the Funds had in-kind contributions and redemptions as follows:
Fund | In-Kind Contributions | In-Kind Redemptions | ||||||||
BDC Income | $ | 11,251,117 | $ | 190,599 | ||||||

Note 7–Concentration and Other Risks–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 bonds that represent a sample of securities in the index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. Each Fund 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 issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers. Investments in the Funds involve risks similar to those of investing in any bond fund of, such as market fluctuations caused by factors such as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices.
BDC Income, Fallen Angel, International High Yield and Treasury-Hedged 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 due to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market and because of a decline in the value of such securities. BDC Income, International High Yield and Treasury-Hedged 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.
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.
Emerging Markets High Yield, Emerging Markets Local Currency, Fallen Angel, International High Yield, Investment Grade, LatAm, and Renminbi 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.
Mortgage REIT invests directly in 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.
Preferred Securities invests in preferred securities which are essentially contractual obligations that declare distributions but permit the issuer to defer or suspend distributions. This may require the Fund to account for the distribution that has been deferred or suspended for tax purposes, even though it may not have received this income. Accordingly, preferred securities are 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.

Treasury-Hedged invests directly in securities sold short which are designed to hedge against the price sensitivity of the below investment grade corporate bonds. A risk of hedging is the imperfect correlation between price movement of the securities sold short and the price movement of the Fund’s investments.
At April 30, 2013, the Adviser owned approximately 50% of Renminbi.
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.
For each Fund, 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 9–Securities Lending–To generate additional income, each of the Funds may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the securities lending agent and also the Funds’ custodian. Each Fund may lend up to 33% of its investments requiring that the loan be continuously collateralized by cash, U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities, shares of an investment trust or mutual fund, or any combination of cash and such securities at all times equal to at least 102% (105% for foreign securities) of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities loaned. 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 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. The collateral for securities loaned is recognized in the Schedules of Investments and the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The cash collateral is maintained on the Funds’ behalf by the lending agent and is invested in the Bank of New York Overnight Government Fund and/or the Bank of New York Institutional Cash Reserve. 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 lender securities identical to the securities loaned. The Funds may pay reasonable finders’, administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan of its securities. 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. As of April 30, 2013, the loans outstanding and the collateral received are included in value of securities on loan and collateral for securities loaned, respectively, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Note 10–Bank Line of Credit–Certain 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 at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the year ended April 30, 2013, the following Funds borrowed under this facility:
Fund | Days Outstanding | Average Daily Loan Balance | Average Interest Rate | Outstanding Loan Balance as of April 30, 2013 | ||||||||||||
Emerging Markets Local Currency | 13 | $ | 1,786,384 | 1.80 | % | $ | - | |||||||||

Treasury-Hedged | 2 | 500,500 | 1.65 | - |
Note 11–Custodian Fees–The Funds have entered into an expense offset agreement with the custodian wherein they receive a credit toward the reduction of custodian fees whenever there are uninvested cash balances. The Funds could have invested their cash balances elsewhere if they had not agreed to a reduction in fees under the expense offset agreement with the custodian. For the year ended April 30, 2013, there were no offsets to custodian fees.
Note 12–Recent Accounting Pronouncements–The Funds have adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 (“ASU No. 2011-04”) “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.” ASU No. 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose
88 |
the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and can be found in Note 2 to the financial statements and the Schedules of Investments, if applicable.
In January 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-01 (“ASU 2013-01”), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (“ASU 2011-11”), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Funds’ financial statements.
Note 13–Subsequent Events–The Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
The following dividends from net investment income were declared and paid subsequent to April 30, 2013:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Market Vectors ETF Trust
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of BDC Income ETF, Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF, Renminbi Bond ETF and Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (eleven of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BDC Income ETF, Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, International High Yield Bond ETF, Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF, LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF, Mortgage REIT Income ETF, Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF, Renminbi Bond ETF and Treasury-Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (eleven of the series constituting Market Vectors ETF Trust) at April 30, 2013, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

MARKET VECTORS ETF TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
(unaudited)
At a meeting held on December 4, 2012 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Market Vectors ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees that are not interested persons (the “Independent Trustees”), approved an investment management agreement between the Trust and Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreement”) and a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and UCM Partners, L.P. (“UCM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with respect to Market Vectors Non-Agency RMBS ETF (the “Fund”). The Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Agreements.”
The Board’s approval of each 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 and UCM, including expense information for other funds, as discussed below. Information provided to the Trustees from the Adviser included various aspects of the Fund’s proposed investment program, fee arrangements and service provider arrangements. The Independent Trustees’ consideration of each Agreement was based, in part, on information obtained through discussions with the Adviser and UCM at the Meeting regarding the management of the Fund, information obtained at other meetings of the Trustees respecting the Adviser and/or based on their review of the materials provided by the Adviser and UCM, including the background and experience of the portfolio managers and others involved or 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 and UCM would provide under each Agreement, including the Adviser’s commitment to waive certain fees and/or pay expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund from exceeding agreed upon limits for a period of at least one year following the effective date of the Fund’s registration statement. The Trustees also considered information with respect to the financial condition of the Adviser and UCM, the current status, as they understood it, of the Adviser’s and UCM’s compliance environment and the Adviser’s views of the proposed service providers.
In addition, the Trustees were given data on expense ratios of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). The Trustees took into account the unique nature of the Fund and considered materials showing that the Fund had greater specialization than MBS ETFs, given its focus on non-agency residential MBS, which involves greater operating costs. The Trustees also considered materials relating to the sub-advisory fees to be paid to UCM and that the Adviser would compensate UCM from its fees. The Trustees also considered whether there were any benefits, other than the fees under the Agreements, that the Adviser and UCM would receive from serving as adviser or sub-adviser to the Fund, respectively, including any the Adviser may receive from providing administrative services to the Fund and from an affiliate of the Adviser serving as distributor to the Fund. The Trustees did not consider historical information about the cost of the services provided by the Adviser and UCM or the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and UCM because the Fund had not yet commenced operations. In addition, because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees could not consider the historical performance or the quality of services previously provided to the Fund by the Adviser and UCM, although they concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser and UCM were appropriate based on the Trustees’ knowledge of the Adviser and its personnel and the operations of the other series of the Trust and information provided with respect to UCM.
The Independent Trustees were advised by and met in executive session with their independent counsel at the Meeting as part of their consideration of the Agreements.
In voting to approve 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, the fees paid by other funds, expenses to be incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The Trustees also concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fees were reasonable in light of the services to be provided. The Trustees further concluded that each Agreement is in the interest of the Fund and such Fund’s shareholders.
