Investment objective & strategy

As of Aug. 27, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. VanEck CEF Muni Income ETF (the Fund) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the S-Network Municipal Bond Closed-End Fund Index SM (the CEFMX Index).

Strategy. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in investments the income from which is exempt from U.S. federal income tax (other than federal alternative minimum tax (AMT)). The Fund is a fund of funds, meaning that it invests all or a portion of its assets in other funds (the Underlying Funds). The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities of issuers that comprise the Funds benchmark index. For purposes of this policy, the term assets means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. The CEFMX Index is comprised of shares of U.S.-listed closed-end funds. The Underlying Funds invest in municipal bonds issued by states or local governments … The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in investments the income from which is exempt from U.S. federal income tax (other than federal alternative minimum tax (AMT)). The Fund is a fund of funds, meaning that it invests all or a portion of its assets in other funds (the Underlying Funds). The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities of issuers that comprise the Funds benchmark index. For purposes of this policy, the term assets means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. The CEFMX Index is comprised of shares of U.S.-listed closed-end funds. The Underlying Funds invest in municipal bonds issued by states or local governments or agencies the income of which is exempt from U.S. federal income tax, but a portion of this income may be subject to the AMT and will generally be subject to state income taxes. The Funds investment policy to invest at least 80% of its total assets in investments the income from which is exempt from U.S. federal income tax (other than AMT) requires shareholder approval before it can be changed. The Fund may count investments that generate income subject to the AMT toward the 80% investment requirement. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act of 1940), places limits on the percentage of the total outstanding stock of an Underlying Fund that may be owned by the Fund. The Fund, using a passive or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the CEFMX Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the CEFMX Index. Unlike many investment companies that try to beat the performance of a benchmark index, the Fund does not try to beat the CEFMX Index and does not take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its investment objective of seeking to replicate the CEFMX Index. The Fund may become non-diversified as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the CEFMX Index. This means that the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers than would be the case if the Fund were always managed as a diversified management investment company. The Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as the CEFMX Index. Shareholder approval will not be sought when the Fund crosses from diversified to non-diversified status due solely to a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the CEFMX Index. The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the CEFMX Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries.
