1. “Avg Yield to Worst” is equal to either the lowest of either yield-to-maturity or yield-to-call date on every possible call date.

2. Yield information reflects temporary waivers of expenses and/or fees. Yields would have been reduced had these fees/expenses been included.

2. 30-Day SEC Yield is a standard calculation developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows for fairer comparisons among bond funds. It is based on the most recent 30-day period. This yield figure reflects the interest earned during the period after deducting the fund’s expenses for the period. Tax Equivalent 30-Day SEC Yield or tax equivalent yield (TEY) is used by investors to compare yields on taxable and tax-exempt securities after accounting for taxes. TEY represents the yield a taxable bond would have to earn in order to match – after taxes – the yield available on a tax-exempt municipal bond. TEY = Tax Free Municipal Bond Yield/(1 -Tax Rate). For Market Vectors Municipal ETF Series the highest Federal individual income tax rate of 35% is assumed. 12-Month Yield is the yield an investor would have received if they had held the fund over the last twelve months assuming the most recent NAV. The 12-month yield is calculated by summing any income distributions over the past twelve months and dividing the sum of the most recent NAV and any capital gain distributions made over the past twelve months.

Important Disclosure

Municipal bonds are subject to risks related to litigation, legislation, political changes, local business or economic conditions, conditions in underlying sectors, bankruptcy or other changes in the financial condition of the issuer, and/or the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. The Fund may also be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, lease obligations, tax risk, and risks associated with non-investment grade securities. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s income will be exempt from federal or state income taxes.  Federal or state changes in income or alternative minimum tax rates or in the tax treatment of municipal bonds may make them less attractive as investments and cause them to lose value.  Capital gains, if any, are subject to capital gains tax. For a more complete description of these and other risks, please refer to each Fund’s prospectus.

A portion of the Funds’ dividends may be subject to federal, state, or local income taxes or may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

The “Net Asset Value” (NAV) of a Market Vectors Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF’s intraday trading value.  Market Vectors ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

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 may incur brokerage expenses when trading Fund shares in the secondary market. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns for actual Fund investments may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested, and fees and expenses.
