Fund Description: VanEck Vectors Uranium+Nuclear Energy ETF, formerly Market Vectors Uranium+Nuclear Energy ETF, formerly the Market Vectors - Nuclear Energy ETF, is an exchange-traded index fund or Index ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the VanEck Vectors ETF Trust, an open-end investment management company.. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The VanEck Vectors Uranium+Nuclear Energy ETF seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vectors Global Uranium and Nuclear Energy Index, formerly the DAXglobal Nuclear Energy Index. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The Market Vectors Global Uranium and Nuclear Energy Index is comprised of equity securities and depositary receipts issued by companies involved in uranium and nuclear energy and includes companies that generate at least 50% of their revenues from (or, in certain circumstances, have at least 50% of their assets related to): (i) uranium mining or uranium mining projects that have the potential, in Market Vectors Index Solutions GmbH’s (the Index Provider) view, when such projects are developed to generate at least 50% of a company’s revenues or to constitute at least 50% of such company’s assets; (ii) the construction, engineering and maintenance of nuclear power facilities and nuclear reactors; (iii) the production of electricity from nuclear sources; or (iv) providing equipment, technology and/or services to the nuclear power industry. Such companies may include small- and medium-capitalization companies and foreign issuers. FUND STRATEGY: The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies primarily engaged in various aspects of the nuclear energy business. Such companies may include small- and medium capitalization companies. The Fund, utilizing a passive or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicate the Index. The Fund will hold all of the securities which comprise the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of those securities in these weightings. In these circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of securities in the Index. There also may be instances in which the Adviser may choose to overweight another security in the Index, purchase securities not in the Index which are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in the Index or utilize various combinations of other available investment techniques in seeking to replicate as closely as possible the price and yield performance of the Index. The Fund may sell securities that are represented in the Index in anticipation of their removal from the Index or purchase securities not represented in the Index in anticipation of their addition to the Index. The Fund will normally invest at least 95% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index. FUND MANAGEMENT: Van Eck Associates Corporation is the investment adviser to the Fund.
