The majority, and possibly all, of the dividend distributions will be paid out of net investment income earned by the Fund. A
portion of these distributions may come from net short-term or long-term realized capital gains or return of capital.
The final tax treatment of these dividends will be reported to shareholders on their 1099-DIV form, which is mailed after the
close of each fiscal year. The amount of dividends paid by each ETF may vary from time to time. Past amounts of dividends are no
guarantee of future dividend payment amounts.

communication concerning U.S. tax matters is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding

Please call 800.826.2333 or visit our website for the most recent month-end performance of VanEck Vectors ETFs. This information

The principal risks of investing in VanEck Vectors ETFs include sector, market, economic, political, foreign currency, world
event, index tracking and non-diversification risks, as well as fluctuations in net asset value and the risks associated with
investing in less developed capital markets. The assets of some Funds may be concentrated in a particular sector and may be subject
to more risk than investments in a diverse group of sectors. The Funds may loan their securities, which may subject them to
additional credit and counterparty risk. Please see the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus of the Fund for more complete
information regarding its specific risks.
The “net asset value” (NAV) of an ETF is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one
share of the ETF; it is calculated by taking the total assets of an ETF subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total
number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as an ETF's intraday trading value. Investors should not expect
to buy or sell shares at NAV. Total returns are based upon closing “market price” (price) of the ETF on the dates listed.
Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized
broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through
exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their
NAV in the secondary market. You will incur brokerage expenses when trading Fund shares in the secondary market.
Investors may call 800.826.2333 or visit vaneck.com for a free prospectus and summary prospectus. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Bonds and bond
funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. An investor should consider the investment objective, risks, and charges and
expenses of VanEck Vectors ETFs carefully before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contains this and other
information. Please read the prospectus and summary prospectus carefully before investing.
