PRESIDENT’S LETTER

March 31, 2023 (unaudited)

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Our outlook for financial markets in 2023 was “sideways.” The three major forces—monetary policy, government spending and economic growth—are negative or muted. This is still my view despite events in the last few months, discussed at the end of this letter.

Discussion

To recap this cycle: stocks and bonds historically do not perform well when the Fed tightens monetary conditions, and that’s just what the Fed announced it would be doing at the end of 2021. This would include raising rates and changing its balance sheet actions, which doesn’t create a great environment for financial assets.

There are three things investors are facing, none of which is particularly positive for financial assets.

1.	Monetary Policy: Tightening

Money supply exploded during the COVID–19 pandemic, but declined dramatically in 2022, to low levels. This withdrawal of money supply is bad for stock and bond returns.

A second, modern component to monetary policy is the Fed balance sheet. After buying bonds during the pandemic, the Fed has now started shrinking the balance sheet—one estimate indicates $330 billion net out by the end of last November. The Fed has only shrunk its balance sheet once before, so we are facing an unknown.

Commodity prices and the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) receive much focus, but I think what the Fed is really fighting is wage inflation. That is the kind of inflation that is endemic and hard to manage once it takes hold, not least because it creates a spiraling effect. I think the Fed knows it can’t control oil prices or supply chain directly, but it wants to manage this wage inflation psychology.

Services typically don’t reflect the price of commodities and, in 2022, we saw services inflation increase significantly. That’s not slowing down, and this is a battle the Fed is fighting that I think will last for an extended period of time.

2.	Fiscal Tightening

A second bearish factor is that government spending is unlikely to increase this year. The Republicans, who won control of the House of Representatives, are looking to slow government spending. And even Democrats like Larry Summers believe that stimulus spending during the pandemic led to inflation, so we’re unlikely to see another big stimulus spending bill regardless of who controls government.

3.	Global Growth is at Low Levels

Both Chinese and European growth, for different reasons, were slow in 2022. Over the last 20 years, U.S. and China have been the two main pillars of global growth. While China has loosened its Draconian domestic COVID-19 restrictions, and I think there will be a growth surge, the growth may be more domestic and consumer-led, which may not stimulate global growth as much as it has in recent decades.

The range in China growth estimates is from low (1% to 3%) to “high” (4% to 5%). In coming years, we will likely have to look to India, Indonesia and Africa to take up the baton as pillars of higher percentage global growth.

I don’t believe that we will escape these three dampeners on stock and bond returns in 2023—higher interest rates, no government spending growth and tepid global growth. We will need upside corporate profitability surprises or high Chinese growth to substantially boost markets this year, in our view.

However, after the 2022 losses, bond investments are now offering attractive yields, so this is currently our favorite asset class to buy. (See What to Buy? Bonds. When? Now.¹) Because of higher interest rates, bonds

can offer adequate returns, as they did in the 1970s even though that decade was the worst for interest rates in the last 100 years.

First Quarter 2023

My basic outlook hasn’t changed. There were two unexpected monetary stimuli in early 2023, but I think both are temporary. The first was the wave of money from Asia at year-end: Japanese bond buying of approximately $600 billion and Chinese money supply growth post-COVID-19. The second monetary stimulus was the credit the Fed provided to banks during the mini-bank crisis of March. I’m worried that the bank crisis will lead to a contraction of credit, but this is offset by China reopening. So, I don’t see these two monetary stimuli as significantly changing the “sideways” trajectory of 2023.

The only “new” thought is that, while I think the Fed won’t stimulate for a while, this is a good time to get positioned in assets that would benefit from that stimulus, namely gold and BTC (bitcoin).

We thank you for investing in VanEck’s investment strategies. On the following pages, you will find financial statements for each of the funds for the six month period ended March 31, 2023.

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, 2022 to March 31, 2023.

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.

Using a proprietary, rules-based real asset allocation model, the Inflation Allocation ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in exchange traded products (“ETPs”) that provide exposure to real assets, which include commodities, real estate, natural resources and infrastructure, as well as companies that own, operate, or derive a significant portion of their value from real assets or the production thereof.

The Commodity Strategy ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in exchange-traded commodity futures contracts, exchange-traded and over-the-counter (“OTC”) commodity-linked instruments, and pooled investment vehicles, including ETPs that provide exposure to commodities and Cash and Fixed Income Investments. The Fund does not invest in commodities directly.

Van Eck Associates Corporation (“VEAC”) serves as the investment adviser for the Funds, except for Inflation Allocation ETF and Commodity Strategy ETF. Van Eck Absolute Return Advisers Corporation (“VEARA”) serves as the investment adviser to Inflation Allocation ETF and Commodity Strategy ETF and their Subsidiaries. VEAC and VEARA are collectively referred to as the “Adviser”.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies.

A.	Security Valuation—The Funds value their investments in securities and other assets and liabilities at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Securities traded on national exchanges are valued at the closing price on the markets in which the securities trade. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Over-the-counter securities not included on NASDAQ and listed securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (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 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. The pricing service, considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to intraday trading in the U.S. markets, based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. The Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, such as when a particular foreign market is closed but the Fund is open. Futures contracts are generally valued at the official settlement price on the primary exchange on which they trade and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Debt securities are valued on the basis of evaluated prices furnished by an independent pricing service or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date and or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with sixty days or less to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value. Money market fund investments are valued at net asset value and are considered as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has designated the Adviser as valuation designee to perform the Funds’ fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain reporting and other requirements. The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with requirements. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value. The Pricing Committee convenes regularly to review the fair value of financial instruments or other assets. If market quotations for a security or other asset are not readily available, or if the Adviser believes they do not otherwise reflect the fair value of a security or asset, the security or asset will be fair valued by the Pricing Committee in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures. The Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approaches utilized to determine fair value, including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, periodic comparisons to valuations provided by other independent pricing services, transactional back-testing and disposition analysis.

	Certain factors such as economic conditions, political events, market trends, the nature of and duration of any restrictions on disposition, trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers and other security specific information are used to determine the fair value of these securities. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these securities may be 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 in the Schedules of Investments.

	The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis, which includes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

VANECK ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

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

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

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

	A summary of the inputs and the levels used to value the Funds’ investments 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.	Basis for Consolidation—The Inflation Allocation ETF invests in certain ETPs through the Real Asset Allocation Subsidiary. The Commodity Strategy ETF invests in certain ETPs and Commodity Instruments through the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary, (collectively the “Subsidiaries” and each a wholly-owned “Subsidiary”), organized under the laws of Cayman Islands. Each Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary may not exceed 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets at each quarter-end of the Fund’s fiscal year. Consolidated financial statements of each Fund present the financial position and results of operations for each Fund and its wholly-owned Subsidiary. All interfund account balances and transactions between the Fund and Subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

C.	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 and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

D.	Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders—Dividends to shareholders from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually by each Fund (except for dividends from net investment income from Durable High Dividend ETF, which are declared and paid quarterly). Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations, which may differ from such amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.

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

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—Certain Funds may invest in derivative instruments. 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 OTC derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments or commodities 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 instrument. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. Details of this disclosure are found below as well as in the Schedule of Investments.

	Futures Contracts—Futures contracts are financial contracts, the value of which depends on, or is derived from, the underlying reference asset. The Commodity Strategy ETF invests in commodity futures contracts, and the underlying reference assets consist of commodity instruments. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or government securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin”. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are generally made or received by the Fund each day depending on the fluctuations in the value of the Futures. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures, until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures. Commodity Strategy ETF held futures contracts during the period ended March 31, 2023, the average notional amount for the period was $28,207,302. Futures contracts held by Commodity Strategy ETF at March 31, 2023 are reflected in the Schedule of Investments.

	At March 31, 2023, the Fund held the following derivatives (not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP):

	Liability Derivatives
	Commodity Risk
Commodity Strategy ETF
Futures contracts¹	$229,819


¹	Statements of Assets and Liabilities location: Variation margin for futures contracts


	The impact of transactions in derivative instruments during the period ended March 31, 2023, was as follows:

	Commodity Risk
Commodity Strategy ETF
Realized gain (loss):
Futures contracts¹	$(816,942)
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation):
Futures contracts²	$(233,128)


¹	Statements of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts
²	Statements of Operations location: Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities—In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting or other similar agreements. Generally, the right of offset in those agreements allows the Funds to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received from or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. The Funds may pledge or receive cash and or securities as collateral for securities lending and derivative instruments. Collateral held for derivative instruments at March 31, 2023, is presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

VANECK ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

	For financial reporting purposes, the Funds presents derivative instruments and securities lending assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

	Futures contracts held by Commodity Strategy ETF are not subject to a master netting agreements or other similar arrangements. In general, collateral received or pledged exceeds the net amount of the unrealized gain/loss or market value of financial instruments. Refer to the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities for collateral received or pledged as of March 31, 2023.

	Cash collateral received for securities lending in the form of money market fund investments, if any, at March 31, 2023, is presented in the Schedules of Investments and in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is disclosed in Note 9 (Securities Lending).

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

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

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

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

Note 3—Investment Management and Other Agreements—The Adviser receives a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed, until at least February 1, 2024, to waive management fees and assume expenses to prevent each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding expense limitations listed in the following table.

The management fee rates and expense limitations for the period ended March 31, 2023, are as follows:

Fund	Management Fees			Expense Limitations
Inflation Allocation ETF		0.50	%		0.55	%
Long/Flat Trend ETF		0.50			0.55
Morningstar ESG Moat ETF		0.45			0.49
Morningstar Global Wide Moat ETF		0.45			0.52
Morningstar International Moat ETF		0.50			0.56
Morningstar SMID Moat ETF		0.45			0.49
Morningstar Wide Moat ETF		0.45			0.49

Refer to the Statements of Operations for amounts waived/assumed by the Adviser.

The Adviser waives the management fees it charges the Funds by the amount it collects as a management fee from underlying funds managed by the Adviser. For the period ended March 31, 2023, the Adviser waived management fees of $112,265 due to such investments held in the Inflation Allocation ETF.

The Funds listed below utilize a unitary management fee structure where the Adviser will pay all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payment under the investment management agreement, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses. In addition, for Social Sentiment ETF, the Adviser has (i) agreed to pay the offering costs until at least February 1, 2024 and (ii) contractually agreed to waive or reduce its management fees and/or pay Fund expenses in an amount equal to the Fund’s extraordinary legal expenses up to $500,000 until at least February 1, 2024. The Fund has insurance policy to cover extraordinary legal expenses in excess of $500,000. Refer to Statement of Operation for the reimbursement from insurance proceeds the Fund received during the period ended March 31, 2023. For Commodity Strategy ETF, the Adviser has agreed to pay and/or reimburse the Fund for the offering costs and trading expenses that are net account or similar fees charged by futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) until at least February 1, 2024.

Fund	Unitary Management Fee Rate
Commodity Strategy ETF		0.55	%
Durable High Dividend ETF		0.29
Social Sentiment ETF		0.75

In addition, Van Eck Securities Corporation, an affiliate of the Adviser, acts as the Funds’ distributor (“the Distributor”). Certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are officers, directors or stockholders of the Adviser and Distributor.

At March 31, 2023, the Adviser owned approximately 5% of Durable High Dividend ETF and 29% of Morningstar ESG Moat ETF.

Note 4—Capital Share Transactions—As of March 31, 2023, there were an unlimited number of capital shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust with no par value. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed at their net asset value per share only through certain authorized broker-dealers (“Authorized Participants”) in blocks of shares (“Creation Units”).

The consideration for the purchase or redemption of Creation Units of the Funds generally consists of the in-kind contribution or distribution of a designated portfolio of securities (“Deposit Securities”) plus a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the net asset value per share of the Fund on the transaction date. Cash may also be substituted in an amount equivalent to the value of certain Deposit Securities, generally as a result of market circumstances, or when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, or are not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant. The Funds may issue Creation Units in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including, for the benefit of the Funds, a requirement to maintain cash collateral on deposit at the custodian equal to at least 115% of the daily marked to market value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Authorized Participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay transaction fees directly to the transfer agent. In addition, the Funds may impose certain variable fees on the purchase or redemption of Creation Units for cash, or on transactions effected outside the clearing process, to defray certain transaction costs. These variable fees, if any, are reflected in share transactions in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Social Sentiment ETF		(80,568,051	)		(6,546,103	)		(87,114,154	)

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained assuming examination by applicable tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on return filings for all open tax years. The Funds do not have exposure for additional years that might still be open in certain foreign jurisdictions. Therefore, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. However, certain Funds are subject to foreign taxes on the appreciation in value of certain investments. The Funds provide for such taxes on both realized and unrealized appreciation.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Note 7—Principal Risks—Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds (See Note 1) and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers. The Funds may purchase securities on foreign exchanges. Securities of foreign issuers involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. These risks include devaluation of currencies, currency controls, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, future adverse economic developments and political conflicts, or natural or other disasters, such as the recent coronavirus outbreak. Additionally, certain Funds may invest in securities of emerging market issuers, which are exposed to a number of risks that may make these investments volatile in price or difficult to trade. Political risks may include unstable governments, nationalization, restrictions on foreign ownership, laws that prevent investors from getting their money out of a country, sanctions and investment restrictions and legal systems that do not protect property risks as well as the laws of the United States. These and other factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets. Certain securities of Chinese issuers are, or may in the future become restricted, and the Funds may be forced to sell such restricted securities and incur a loss as a result.

Commodity Strategy ETF invests in futures contracts. The usage of futures contracts is subject to risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks of investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. Futures contracts are subject to collateral requirements and daily limits that may limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. If the Fund is unable to meet its investment objective, the Fund’s returns may be lower than expected. Additionally, these collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its position when it otherwise would not do so. Futures contracts exhibit “futures basis,” which refers to the difference between the current market value of the underlying commodity (the “spot” price) and the price of the cash-settled futures contracts. A negative futures basis exists when cash-settled futures contracts generally trade at a premium to the current market value of the underlying commodity. If a negative futures basis exists, the Fund’s investments in futures contracts will generally underperform a direct investment in the underlying commodity.

Long/Flat Trend ETF may invest in shares of other funds, including ETFs that track the S&P 500 Index. As a result, the Fund will indirectly be exposed to the risks of an investment in the underlying funds. Shares of other funds have many of the same risks as direct investments in common stocks or bonds. In addition, the market value of the Fund’s shares is expected to rise and fall as the value of the underlying index or bond rises and falls. The market value of such funds’ shares may differ from the net asset value of the particular fund.

Inflation Allocation ETF may concentrate its investments in ETPs that invest directly in, or have exposure to, equity and debt securities, as well as real asset categories such as commodities, real estate, natural resources and infrastructure. Such investments may subject the ETPs to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The Fund is dependent on the performance of underlying funds and is subject to the risks of those funds. In addition, the Fund may gain exposure to the cryptocurrency Bitcoin by investing in pooled investment vehicles that invest in Bitcoin, which generally operates without central authority (such as a bank) and is not backed by any government; nor is it legal tender. Federal, state and/or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of cryptocurrencies, and regulation in the United States is still developing. Cryptocurrencies are susceptible to theft, loss and destruction. Accordingly, the Fund’s indirect investment in Bitcoin is also susceptible to these risks. Cryptocurrency exchanges have in the past, and may in the future, stop operating or permanently shut down due to fraud, cybersecurity issues, manipulation, technical glitches, hackers or malware, which may also affect the price of Bitcoin and thus the Fund’s indirect investment in Bitcoin.

Changes in laws or government regulations by the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could adversely affect the operations of the Commodity Strategy ETF and Inflation Allocation ETF.

VANECK ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited) (continued)

Social Sentiment ETF may concentrate its investment in the information technology and communication services sector. The Fund will be sensitive to, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, the overall condition of these sectors. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins. The products of information technology companies may face product obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent protection and the expiration of patents may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Companies in the communication services sector may be affected by industry competition, substantial capital requirements, government regulations and obsolescence of communications products and services due to technological advancement. The index provider relies on social media analytics, which are relatively new and untested. Investing in companies based on social media analytics involves the potential risk of market manipulation because social media posts may be made with an intent to inflate, or otherwise manipulate, the public perception of a company stock or other investment. Furthermore, text and sentiment analysis of social media postings may prove inaccurate in predicting a company’s stock performance.

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

Note 8—Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan—The Trust has a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for Trustees under which the Trustees can elect to defer receipt of their trustee fees until retirement, disability or termination from the Board of Trustees. The fees otherwise payable to the participating Trustees are deemed invested in shares of the Funds as directed by the Trustees.

A unitary management fee was adopted on October 1, 2021, for Durable High Dividend ETF. For this Fund, the liability of the Plan shown as “Deferred Trustee fees” in the Statements of Asset and Liabilities represents amounts accrued through September 30, 2021. Social Sentiment ETF and Commodity Strategy ETF commenced operations with a unitary management fee and therefore bears no costs or liabilities relative to the Plan.

For Inflation Allocation ETF, Long/Flat Trend ETF, Morningstar ESG Moat ETF, Morningstar Global Wide Moat ETF, Morningstar International Moat ETF, Morningstar SMID Moat ETF, and Morningstar Wide Moat ETF, the expense for the Plan is included in “Trustees’ fees and expenses” in the Statements of Operations, and 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 securities lending agent. Each Fund may lend up to 33% of its investments requiring that the loan be continuously collateralized by cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, or any combination of cash and such securities at all times equal to at least 102% (105% for foreign securities) of the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Funds will continue to receive any dividends, interest or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned while receiving a fee from the borrower and or earning interest on the investment of the cash collateral. Such fees and interest are shared with the securities lending agent under the terms of the securities lending agreement. Securities lending income is disclosed as such in the Statements of Operations. Cash collateral is maintained on the Funds’ behalf by the lending agent and is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio. Non-cash collateral consists of U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government Agency securities, and is not disclosed in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments or Statements of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the agent on behalf of the Funds. The Funds do not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Fund securities identical to the securities loaned. The Funds bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The value of loaned securities and related cash collateral, if any, at March 31, 2023, is presented on a gross basis in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets

and Liabilities. The following is a summary of the Funds’ securities on loan and related collateral as of March 31, 2023:

Fund	Market Value of Securities on Loan		Cash Collateral		Non-Cash Collateral		Total Collateral

Note 10—Bank Line of Credit—The Funds may participate in a $200 million committed credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Funds at the request of the shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds have agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the unused but available balance. Interest is charged to the Funds based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the period ended March 31, 2023, the following Funds borrowed under this Facility:

FUNDS’ LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

(unaudited)

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the 1940 Act, the Funds have implemented a Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”). The Program outlines certain techniques, tools and arrangements employed for the assessment and management of Fund liquidity risk, and the terms, contents and frequency of reporting of certain issues to the Board. Liquidity is managed taking account of the Funds’ investment strategy, liquidity profile, and, importantly, the fact that for many Funds, redemptions are settled primarily as in-kind redemptions. In this regard, certain of the Funds qualify as “In-Kind ETFs” under the Liquidity Rule because they meet redemptions through in-kind transfers of securities, positions and assets other than a de minimis amount of cash and publish their portfolio holdings daily. In-Kind ETFs are exempt from the Liquidity Rule’s classification and highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”) provisions, discussed below.

Under the Program and in accordance with the Liquidity Rule, each Fund’s liquidity risk is assessed at least annually taking into consideration certain factors enumerated in the Liquidity Rule, as applicable. The Liquidity Rule calls for considering certain such factors under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions.

With respect to each Fund that does not qualify under the Liquidity Rule as an “In-Kind ETF,” the Liquidity Rule and the Program require that each portfolio holding be classified into one of four liquidity classification categories. The Liquidity Rule requires that such classification determinations be made taking into account relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations as well as market depth. The relevant Funds utilize data from a third-party vendor to assist with these determinations.

Funds that do not qualify as “In-Kind ETFs” are also required to determine and periodically review an HLIM – a minimum percentage of Fund net assets that are to be invested in Highly Liquid Investments that are assets – and adopt certain related procedures. A Highly Liquid Investment is defined as cash and any investment reasonably expected to be convertible to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without the conversion to cash significantly changing the market value of the investment.

The Liquidity Rule provides an exemption from the HLIM requirements for Funds that “primarily” hold Highly Liquid Investments, as defined in the Program. For the period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 (the “Review Period”), the Funds that were not In-Kind ETFs qualified for an exemption and therefore have not determined an HLIM or adopted the related procedures.

The Board reviewed a report (“Report”) prepared by each Fund’s Adviser regarding the operation and effectiveness of the Program for the Review Period. The Report noted that, during the Review Period, the Funds maintained a high level of liquidity and primarily held assets that are defined under the Liquidity Rule as “Highly Liquid Investments.” The Report also noted the effectiveness of the Funds’ liquidity risk management during such time.
