PRESIDENT’S LETTER

September 30, 2022 (unaudited)

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Back in July, I said that Market Volatility Has One Final Act.¹Stocks 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.

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%.

Another component to monetary policy is the Fed balance sheet, which is one of the unknowns. After buying bonds during the pandemic, the Fed is now going to start shrinking the balance sheet and selling bonds into the market—one estimate indicates $279B net 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 inflation,²I 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.

2.	Fiscal Tightening: Wage Inflation Is the Real Battle

Nominal wages are increasing, but because of inflation, take-home pay has been negative over the past year. This may 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 may look to India, Indonesia and Africa to take up the baton as pillars of higher percentage global growth.

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

VANECK ETFs

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

(unaudited) (continued)

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.)³Because 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 sincerely thank you for investing in VanEck’s investment strategies. On the following pages, you will find a performance discussion and financial statements for each of the funds for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2022. As always, we value your continued confidence in us and look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

September 30, 2022 (unaudited)

Market Review

Durable High Dividend

VanEck Durable High Dividend ETF (formerly VanEck Morningstar Durable Dividend ETF) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Morningstar® US Dividend Valuation Index^SM. The index is intended to track the overall performance of high dividend yielding U.S. companies with strong financial health and attractive valuations according to Morningstar.

The Fund lost 6.58% over the 12 month period under review. The Fund’s focus on high yielding companies with strong financial health shielded it to an extent from the significant volatility it faced in unsettled markets. This did not, however, stop the Fund registering a loss.

The health care, utility and energy sectors were the only positive contributors to performance. All other sectors detracted from performance for the period, with the financial, communications services and information technology sectors detracting the most from performance.

Inflation Allocation

In its pursuit of long-term total return, VanEck Inflation Allocation ETF seeks to maximize real returns, while seeking to reduce downside risk during sustained market declines. The Fund seeks to achieve this by allocating primarily to exchange-traded products that provide exposure to real assets, which include commodities, real estate, natural resources, master limited partnerships (MLPs) and infrastructure. The Fund seeks to reduce downside risk by using a rules-based approach to determine when to allocate to cash and cash equivalents.

Over the 12 month period to September 30, 2022, the Fund lost 2.71%. Resources assets and, in particular, diversified commodities, contributed the most positively to the Fund’s total return. Commodity prices have remained elevated as a symptom of high inflation and structural demand and supply imbalances that have been further aggravated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Income assets suffered from exposure to real estate and global infrastructure. Financial assets suffered from exposure to gold, which included both gold bullion and gold equities.

Long/Flat Trend

VanEck Long/Flat Trend ETF lost 15.70% in the 12 month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund takes a guided allocation approach designed to help investors manage risk in the U.S. equity market. The Fund seeks to track the Ned Davis Research CMG US Large Cap Long/Flat Index (the “index”) from Ned Davis Research (NDR), a world-renowned provider of institutional quality research. It is a rules-based index that follows a proprietary model developed by NDR and CMG Capital Management Group, Inc. (CMG).

The model measures the overall health of the market through an evaluation of market breadth. In this case, market breadth refers to advancing and declining price trends and countertrends at the GICS®¹industry group level. The model computes a robust moving average score daily to capture multi-industry and multi-term trend and countertrend measures to gauge overall market health. It then calculates the score’s directional trend to see if it is improving or declining. Collectively, the score and its directional trend determine the equity allocation of either 100%, 50%, or 0%. At 0%, the allocation would be entirely to cash.

Over the 12 months ended September 30, 2022, the Fund (and model) was victim to violent bear market rallies to the upside with big downside reversals.

The model (and Fund) remained fully invested as the market entered 2022 at all-time highs. That all changed during the second quarter as the market declined over 16% and, mid-way through the quarter, the model (and Fund) went to a full cash allocation. After the worst first half since 1970, the S&P 500® Index²(the “S&P 500”) rallied to its August 16 high, returning the index (and Fund) to a fully invested position in mid-August. However, stronger-than-expected inflation reports and a hawkish Fed proved to be too much for the market,

VANECK ETFs

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (unaudited) (continued)

and the S&P 500 ended the third quarter at new lows for the year. The index (and Fund) returned to a 100% cash position in September.

Morningstar ESG Moat

VanEck Morningstar ESG Moat ETF seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Morningstar® US Sustainability Moat Focus Index^SM. The index is a rules-based index intended to offer exposure to attractively priced U.S. companies with long-term competitive advantages, according to Morningstar, that have been screened for ESG risks.

Over the period from inception (October 5, 2021) to September 30, 2022, the Fund lost 20.30%. Only the energy sector made a positive contribution to performance. The most significant negative contribution came from the information technology sector, followed by the financial and communication services sectors.

Morningstar Global Wide Moat

VanEck Morningstar Global Wide Moat ETF seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Morningstar® Global Wide Moat Focus Index^SM. The index is intended to track the overall performance of global companies with sustainable competitive advantages, i.e., “moats,” and attractive valuations according to Morningstar’s equity research team. The index contains at least 50 stocks that are reviewed each quarter.

While the Fund’s focus on MOAT-rated companies and valuations provided a degree of resilience in global markets, VanEck Morningstar Global Wide Moat ETF still lost 19.41% for the 12 month period under review.

The energy sector was the only sector to contribute positively to performance. All other sectors detracted from performance with the information technology, industrial and communication services sectors detracting the most. Companies in Canada and Denmark contributed the most to performance, while those in the U.S. detracted from performance by far the most.

Morningstar International Moat

Launched over seven years ago as a means to capture moat-based opportunities abroad, VanEck Morningstar International Moat ETF seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Morningstar® Global ex-US Moat Focus Index^SM. The index is intended to track the overall performance of wide and narrow moat rated companies in developed and emerging markets outside the U.S. with sustainable competitive advantages at attractive prices according to Morningstar’s equity research team. The index contains at least 50 stocks that are reviewed each quarter.

As with VanEck Morningstar Global Wide Moat ETF, the Fund’s focus on valuations and MOAT-rated companies helped is resiliency in the period’s choppy and volatile markets. However, for the 12 month period under review, the Fund lost 21.64%.

The single sector providing a positive contribution to performance was the industrial sector. All other sectors detracted from performance, with the information technology sector detracting the most. While companies in Italy and Singapore made a positive contribution to performance, all other countries detracted from performance with Chinese companies detracting the most.

Morningstar Wide Moat

VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF, now with a ten year track record, seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Morningstar® Wide Moat Focus Index^SM. The index targets U.S. companies with sustainable competitive advantages, i.e., “moats,” and attractive valuations in the view of Morningstar’s team of more than 100 equity analysts.³

According to the forward-looking process of Morningstar’s Equity Research group, companies with moats have the potential to create above-average returns for longer periods of time. The index’s approach to

investing in U.S. companies with wide economic moats when they are attractively priced has resulted in long-term outperformance versus the broad U.S. equity market.⁴

Although the Fund lost 17.27% over the 12 month period under review, because of a focus on valuations and MOAT-rated companies, its performance remained relatively resilient (the S&P 500® Index lost 15.47%) over the period, particularly through the volatility of 2022.

The primary driver of negative performance was the Fund’s exposure to the information technology sector. The consumer staples sector contributed the most positively to performance.

Social Sentiment

VanEck Social Sentiment ETF provides exposure to U.S. large cap stocks with the highest degree of positive social sentiment and bullish investor perception, based on content aggregated from online sources including social media, news articles, blog posts and other alternative datasets. The Fund seeks to track, as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the BUZZ NextGen AI US Sentiment Leaders Index.

The negative momentum associated with the market selloff in 2022 had a more adverse effect on the Fund’s portfolio companies than it did the broad market and VanEck Social Sentiment ETF lost 48.34% over the 12 month period.

The primary drivers of negative performance was the Fund’s exposure to the information technology and communications services sectors. Only the energy sector contributed positively to performance.

ABOUT FUND PERFORMANCE

(unaudited)

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, if applicable, 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.

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, April 1, 2022 to September 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.
