Fund Description

div style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Fund’s benchmark index. For purposes of this policy, the term “assets” means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. The ChiNext Index is a free-float adjusted index intended to track the performance of the 100 largest and most liquid stocks listed and trading on the ChiNext Market of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (the “ChiNext Market”). The ChiNext Index is comprised of China A-shares (“A-shares”). /span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:5pt"span style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"______________________/span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:5.85pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;position:relative;top:-3.15pt;vertical-align:baseline"1 /spanspan style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"Prior to May 1, 2026, the Fund's name was VanEck/spanspan style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:5.85pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;position:relative;top:-3.15pt;vertical-align:baseline"® /spanspan style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"ChiNext ETF./span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"As of December 31, 2025, the ChiNext Index included 100 securities of companies with a market capitalization range of between approximately $2.24 billion and $238.45 billion and a weighted average market capitalization of $68.11 billion. The ChiNext Index may include securities of medium-capitalization companies. The Fund’s 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders./span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the ChiNext Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the ChiNext Index. Unlike many investment companies that try to “beat” the performance of a benchmark index, the Fund does not try to “beat” the ChiNext Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its investment objective of seeking to replicate the ChiNext Index./span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by primarily inves/spanspan style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"ting directly in A-shares. A-shares are issued by companies incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”). A-shares are traded in renminbi (“RMB”) on the Shenzhen or Shanghai Stock Exchanges. The A-share market in China is made available to domestic PRC investors and foreign investors through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program (together, “Stock Connect”). The Fund intends to invest directly in A-shares via Stock Connect, as described below. Stock Connect is a securities trading and clearing program between the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited (“CSDCC”) and Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (“HKSCC”). Stock Connect is designed to permit mutual stock market access between mainland China and Hong Kong by allowing investors to trade and settle shares on each market via their local exchanges. Other exchanges in China may participate in Stock Connect in the future. Purchases of A-shares through Stock Connect are subject to a daily quota at the market-level and can only be utilized on a first-come-first-serve basis. Once the daily quota is exceeded, buy orders will be rejected. Accordingly, the Fund's investments in A-shares via Stock Connect will be subject to the abovementioned daily quota limits on daily net purchases. /span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The Fund may become non-diversified as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (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 ChiNext 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 ChiNext 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 Fund./span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the ChiNext Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. /spanspan style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"As of December 31, 2025, each of the industrials and information technology sectors represented a significant portion of the Fund./span/div
