PRESIDENT’S LETTER

March 31, 2022 (unaudited)

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

The world has certainly changed since I wrote you at the end of September 2021. Our market outlook then was: growth investments (including crypto) were overvalued, value (especially commodity equities) was attractive and the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would tap the brakes and not slam them so as precipitate a recession. And that stocks would be “OK” in 2022. My view has not changed much.

The Economy

The global economy remains “hot”, fueled by the biggest stimulus seen since WWII. While commodity price inflation matters, the real concern about inflation and financial markets is wage inflation, a key driver of persistent inflation. It tends to be longer-lasting and may affect long-term interest rates. I believe that the tight labor conditions we have today will persist, even as the economy slows down, and we won’t really know the answer to the inflation-persistency question until the second half of 2022.

While China has been a large driver of global growth over the past 20 years, its economy has slowed. The jury remains out on just how long China’s slow-down may last and its depth. The question, then, is will Chinese policymakers stimulate the economy if growth slows too much? And, if they do, will they stimulate enough to keep being a driver of global growth.

Turning to the Fed, the question revolves around its possible actions. Short term, markets do not like Fed uncertainty and may continue to correct. However, I do not think the Fed will hit the brakes too hard by raising rates further than they have already indicated. If market seizes up, though, we may see positive Fed statements and a relief rally. We live in an era in which the Fed keeps an eye on the financial markets. We still see little reason why that would change.

Multi-Year Investment Themes

We continue to focus on two multi-year investment themes.

Energy and crypto were two of the best performing assets in 2021 and are two of the most interesting multi-year investment themes.

The first theme is the energy transition away from fossil fuels. We see this not only as being driven by government policy, but also by innovation in the private sector. In our resources portfolios, we’re looking for disruptive companies in the sectors that need to be more energy efficient. One is agriculture (which emits about as much CO2 as the energy sector). AgTech businesses are embracing technology to modernize agriculture, leading to higher crop yields, safer crop chemicals and other innovations in food production to provide healthy diets for the world’s growing population.

As the economy and demand for commodities grows, increasing supply has become harder. This is in part due to environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies in place, causing “greenflation” and a multi-year trend of price pressure. Finding supply sources like new copper, lithium or gold mines is harder because of, to a certain extent, the environmental impact of these activities. I think this supply issue will continue to underpin commodity prices, and this is why I believe that commodity equities remain an interesting investment that people should have in their portfolios.

The second theme is crypto, in particular, the use of blockchain in a large variety of industries and most especially in the field of “smart contracts.” New open source database technology is enabling incredibly rapid adoption and at much lower cost than traditional companies using prior generation technology. The fintech revolution that goes hand in hand with crypto is something we find really exciting. Of course, as with all growth, there are some over-valued companies, but we think it’s another interesting multi-year trend that investors should consider.

We thank you for investing in VanEck’s investment strategies. On the following pages, you will find financial statements for each the funds for the six month period ended March 31, 2022. As always, we value your continued confidence in us and look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future.

EXPLANATION OF EXPENSES

(unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 investment at beginning of period

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, October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.

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 the 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 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 brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales. 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.
