Expense Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. This example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you pay when purchasing or selling Shares of the Fund.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% annual return and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that the example incorporates the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement for only the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

YEAR	EXPENSES
1	$	31
3	$	118
5	$	214
10	$	495

In addition, the second paragraph of the section of the Prospectus entitled “Management of the Funds—Investment Adviser” on page 99 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

For the services provided to each Fund under the Investment Management Agreement, each Fund pays the Adviser monthly fees based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets at the annual rate of 0.27% (with respect to VanEck Vectors J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF), 0.35% (with respect to VanEck Vectors EM Investment Grade + BB Rated USD Sovereign Bond ETF, VanEck Vectors Emerging Markets Aggregate Bond ETF, VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF and VanEck Vectors Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF) and 0.40% (with respect to VanEck Vectors BDC Income ETF, VanEck Vectors Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, VanEck Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF, VanEck Vectors International High Yield Bond ETF, VanEck Vectors Mortgage REIT Income ETF and VanEck Vectors Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF). From time to time, the Adviser may waive all or a portion of its fee. Until at least September 1, 2018, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.14% (with respect to VanEck Vectors Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF), 0.35% (with respect to VanEck Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF) and 0.40% (with respect to VanEck Vectors BDC Income ETF, VanEck Vectors EM Investment Grade + BB Rated USD Sovereign Bond ETF, VanEck Vectors Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF, VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF, VanEck Vectors International High Yield Bond ETF, VanEck Vectors Mortgage REIT Income ETF and VanEck Vectors Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF) of its average daily net assets per year.
