Key Risks

Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risks exist when a particular financial instrument is difficult to purchase or sell. If the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous or reasonable price, or at all.

Equity Market Risk: The prices of the securities in the ETF are subject to the risks associated with investing in the securities market, including general economic conditions and sudden and unpredictable drops in value. Thus, an investment in this ETF may lose money.

Industry or Sector Concentration Risk: The ETF's assets may be concentrated in one or more particular sectors or industries. SMH may be subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on the relevant sectors or industries will negatively impact its performance to a greater extent than if its assets were invested in a wider variety of sectors or industries.

For more information on risks, please see the “Risk Factors” section of the relevant ETF’s prospectus, available on www.vaneck.com.
