Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Back in July, I said that Market Volatility Has One Final Act.1 Stocks and bonds historically do not perform well when the U.S. Federal Reserve (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. If we’re in the last, third act of the play, the third act may last a very long time.
There are three things investors are currently facing, none of which is either particularly positive for financial assets or likely to change soon. But bond prices have dropped significantly, and so you will see at the end of the letter that we are bullish bonds.
1. | Monetary Policy: Tightening |
The typical range for the rate of growth of money supply is in the low single digits. This increased during the global financial crisis and then exploded during the COVID–19 pandemic, but the recent rate of growth of money supply is close to 0% or even negative.
Another component to monetary policy is the Fed balance sheet. After buying bonds during the pandemic, the Fed is now going to start shrinking the balance sheet—one estimate indicates $279B net out through the end of the year. The Fed has only shrunk its balance sheet once before, so we are facing a big 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, this year, we have seen services inflation increase from 3% to 6%. 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.
Last year when my colleagues and I spoke about inflation2, I had noted that we wouldn’t know about wage inflation until the second half of this year, and now we know. Wage inflation is here. Another factor, which has only happened a couple times in a hundred years, is the pandemic. We don’t know how wage inflation is going to react, because the labor market is still tight in the U.S. and many workers have changed their behaviors and expectations. I think it will take another 6–12 months before we know whether wage inflation will be endemic and how the Fed responds. And the latest data still shows a strong labor market with low unemployment.
2. | Fiscal Tightening |
Inflation has caused real take-home pay to shrink over the past year. This should result in a midterm effect in which Republicans take one or both houses, which means a higher likelihood of government gridlock. Even if the Democrats win, as Larry Summers pointed out, 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 Has Almost Stopped |
Looking at global growth today, we see Europe in a recession and China has slowed down. Over the last 20 years, U.S. and China have been the two main pillars of global growth. China is now going to have a much lower GDP growth rate for the foreseeable future. Think about China growth being 2%, not the 6–8% of the past decades. China has anti–business regulatory policies, and there is a decoupling happening, spurred in part by the tariff fight and in part by re–appraisal of supply chain vulnerabilities, which may mean less foreign investment in China. While 2% GDP growth for China will still be a significant contributor to global growth, we will likely have to look to India, Indonesia and Africa to take up the baton as pillars of higher percentage global growth.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
(unaudited) (continued)
I believe that these conditions are going to be sticking around for a while, and what the markets are looking at now is the pressure on corporate profitability. Stocks are down because P/E ratios are down, but earnings are still flat. We don’t know yet what earnings will be like, so there will be a lot of information for equity investors to gather over the next few quarters. Monetary and fiscal policy, as well as global growth, are all contractionary.
Amidst all this market turbulence, bond investments are now offering attractive yields, so this is our favorite asset class to buy now. (See What to Buy? Bonds. When? Now.)3 Because of higher interest rates, bonds can offer adequate returns like they did in the 1970’s even though that decade was the worst for interest rates in the last 100 years.
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 October 31, 2022. As always, we value your continued confidence in us and look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future.

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, May 1, 2022 to October 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.
