Fund Description

The VanEck Short High Yield Muni ETF (SHYD®) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of ICE 1-12 Year Broad High Yield Crossover Municipal Index (MIHX), which is intended to track the overall performance of the U.S. dollar denominated high yield short-term tax-exempt bond market.

Overview

Fund Highlights

  • High Yield, Shorter Duration Focus
    Index comprises highest yielding municipal bonds with maturities of 1-12 years, which potentially provides lower sensitivity to interest rates than all maturity high yield municipal bond funds

  • Enhanced Liquidity Feature
    Index includes 20% BBB and 10% A investment-grade exposure as well as a 25% cap on non-rated bonds for added liquidity

  • Diverse Sector Exposure and Low Default Rates
    Index covers wide range of muni sectors and securities with historically low default rates (Source: Moody’s Investors Services; "U.S. Municipal Bond Defaults and Recoveries, 1970-2018")

All registered investment companies are obliged to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders at yearend regardless of performance. Trading VanEck ETFs will also generate tax consequences and transaction expenses. The information provided is not intended to be tax advice. Tax consequences of dividend distributions may vary by individual taxpayer. There is no guarantee that dividends will be paid. To receive a distribution, you must have been a registered shareholder of the relevant VanEck ETFs on the record date. Distributions are paid to shareholders on the payment date. Past distributions are not indicative of future distributions.

Certain distributions may constitute a return of capital, which will have the effect of reducing your cost basis in the Fund’s shares and thereby increasing the amount of capital gain, if any, or decreasing the amount of capital loss, if any, that you will realize when selling or exchanging Fund shares. The final determination of the tax characteristics cannot be determined until after each Fund’s yearend and are reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV. The form is mailed to shareholders shortly after calendar yearend specifying how the distributions paid by the Fund during the prior calendar year should be characterized for purposes of reporting the distribution on a shareholder’s tax return.

The tax treatment and characterization of the Fund’s distributions may vary significantly from time to time depending on whether the Fund has gains or losses on the securities in its portfolio. The Fund’s distributions will normally reflect past and projected net investment income, and may include income from dividends and interest, capital gains and/or a return of capital. The final composition of the tax characteristics of the distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the end of the year, and will be reported to shareholders at that time. The amount of distributions will vary, depending on a number of factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of dividends may change. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to declare a dividend distribution in each period. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
