    The performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Market Vectors ETFs reflect current temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Had the Market Vectors ETFs incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. The investment return and value of shares of Market Vectors ETFs 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 assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV.

    Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Investors can not invest directly in the Index.

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. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
