Dear Fellow Shareholders:
At the start of the year, we believed three themes1 would shape the investment world in 2022: sell growth, buy commodity equities and the Fed tightening will hurt—not crash—the markets. I discussed these themes in an October talk2 While these thoughts seemed obvious, I had forgotten how much damage could be done to investment grade bonds and how far growth stocks could fall. This sell-off, while painful, has been orderly. But the market adjustments are probably not over, so we like to focus on the longer term trends of resource transition and blockchain disruption as the markets adjust to higher interest rates and higher commodity prices.
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.

CEF Muni Income ETF
The CEF Muni Income ETF lost 15.82% over the prior 12 months due both to widening municipal closed-end fund (CEF) discounts and price decreases in the underlying bonds themselves. During the period the discount at which CEFs traded fluctuated hugely. Starting the fund’s fiscal year at a discount of 2.49% on May 3, 2021, this then narrowed and “flipped” to become a premium and reach a high of 0.94% on August 27, 2021. Thereafter, having remained at a premium for most of the month, from September 23, the premium became a discount and started to widen in fits and starts, before widening significantly from early-January, to 5.86% on January 24, 2022. Then, fluctuating wildly, the discount continued to widen, hitting a high on April 18 of 8.60% and ending the 12 month period at 6.64%.
High Yield Muni ETF/Short High Yield Muni ETF
In the High Yield Muni ETF, the industrial revenue, healthcare and housing sectors contributed the most to the fund’s loss of 8.62%. In terms of state/U.S. territory, the three states detracting the most from performance were California, Illinois and New York. A single state/U.S. territory, the Virgin Islands, contributed positively to performance.
The industrial revenue, healthcare and special tax sectors were the largest contributors to the 6.58% loss recorded by the Short High Yield Muni ETF. A single state/U.S. territory, the Virgin Islands, contributed positively to performance. Grouped by state/U.S. territory, Illinois, New York and New Jersey were the greatest detractors from the fund’s performance.
HIP Sustainable Muni ETF
The HIP Sustainable Muni ETF commenced on September 8, 2021 and had, therefore, not traded for a full 12 months by April 30, 2022. However, in the period in which it did trade before its fiscal year end, the fund was down 8.26%.
Intermediate Muni ETF
In terms of state/U.S. territory, municipal bonds from California, New York and Texas contributed the most to the fund’s negative total return of 9.99%. Kansas was the only state or U.S. territory to contribute positively to the fund’s total return. California, New York and Texas detracted the most. The state, local and transportation sectors detracted the most from the fund’s performance.
Long Muni ETF
The healthcare, local and special tax sectors contributed most to the fund’s loss of 13.26% for the 12 month period. No one sector contributed positively to performance. In terms of state/U.S. territory, municipal bonds issued by New York, California and Texas detracted the most from performance. Not one state or U.S. territory made any significant positive contribution to performance.
Muni Allocation ETF
The Muni Allocation ETF returned -11.03% over the 12 month period versus -7.88% for the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. The largest detractors from the fund’s performance were intermediate-term investment grade bonds, followed by high yield bonds. Those bonds detracting least from performance were short-term investment grade bonds and long-term investment grade bonds.
The fund introduced individual closed-end funds to the portfolio in June 2021 due to the attractive yields that this segment of the municipal bond universe offers. The fund started to get more defensive in October 2021, as interest rate risk started to rise and put downward pressure on bonds with longer duration. Since then, interest rates have moved significantly. The yield on the U.S 10-year Treasury note increased from 1.46% at the beginning of October 2021 to 2.93% on April 30, 2022. The doubling of this key benchmark rate, in reaction to the extremely high inflation in the U.S., has put significant downward pressure on fixed income investments.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (unaudited) (continued)
Short Muni ETF
Among short municipal bonds, the state, industrial revenue and local sectors detracted most from the return of the fund, which overall lost 5.27% for the year. No one sector contributed positively to performance. In terms of state/U.S. territory, no one state contributed positively to the total return of the fund. The three states to detract the most from performance were California, New York and Texas.

The price used to calculate market return (Share Price) is determined by using the closing price listed on its primary listing exchange. Since the shares of each Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after each Fund’s commencement, for the period from commencement to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of each Fund, the NAV of each 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 each Fund reflects temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had each 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 each 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. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Performance current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 800.826.2333 or by visiting vaneck.com.
Index returns assume the reinvestment of all income and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses associated with Fund returns. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors cannot invest directly in the Index. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

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, November 1, 2021, to April 30, 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.
