PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The Fund will pay transaction costs, such as commissions, when it purchases and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover will cause the Fund to incur additional transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund

Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, may affect the Funds performance. During the period March 20, 2012 (the Funds commencement of operations) through December 31, 2012, the Funds portfolio turnover was 51% of the average value of its portfolio. PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Funds benchmark index. The Indonesia Small-Cap Index is comprised of securities of Indonesian small-capitalization companies. A company is considered to be an Indonesian company if it is incorporated in Indonesia or generates at least 50% of its revenues (or, in
certain circumstances, has at least 50% of its assets) in Indonesia. As of December 31, 2012, the Indonesia Small-Cap Index included 24 securities of companies with a market capitalization range of between approximately $101 million and $1.16 billion and a weighted average market capitalization of $542 million. The Funds 80% investment policy is
non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days prior written notice to shareholders. The Fund, using a passive or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Funds performance before fees and expenses and that of the Index will be 95% or
better. A figure of 100% would indicate perfect correlation. The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Indonesia Small-Cap Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. As of December 31, 2012, the Fund was concentrated in the financial services and industrials sectors and each of the energy and consumer staples sectors
represented a significant portion of the Indonesia Small-Cap Index. PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND Investors in the Fund should be willing to accept a high degree of volatility in the price of the Funds Shares and the possibility of significant losses. An investment in the Fund involves a substantial degree of risk. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or any other government agency. Therefore, you should consider carefully the following risks before investing in the Fund. Special Risk Considerations of Investing in Indonesian Issuers. Investment in securities of Indonesian issuers involves risks not typically associated with investments in securities of issuers in more developed countries that may negatively affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Such heightened risks include, among others, expropriation and/or
nationalization of assets, restrictions on and government intervention in international trade, confiscatory taxation, currency devaluations, high rates of inflation, corruption, political instability, including authoritarian and/or military involvement in governmental decision making, armed conflict, acts of terrorism, the impact on the economy as a result of civil
war, and social instability as a result of religious, ethnic and/or socioeconomic unrest. In addition, the Indonesian economy is dependent upon trade with other nations, including China, Japan, Singapore and the United States. Indonesia has experienced acts of terrorism that have targeted foreigners. Such acts of terrorism have had a negative impact on
tourism, an important sector of the Indonesia economy. The securities markets of Indonesia are underdeveloped and are often considered to be less correlated to global economic cycles than those markets located in more developed countries. As a result, securities markets in Indonesia are subject to greater risks associated with market volatility, lower market capitalization, lower trading volume, illiquidity,
inflation, greater price fluctuations, uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets, governmental control and heavy regulation of labor and industry. Moreover, trading on securities markets may be suspended altogether. The Indonesian government may restrict or control to varying degrees the ability of foreign investors to invest in securities of issuers located or operating in Indonesia. These restrictions and/or controls may at times limit or prevent foreign investment in securities of issuers located or operating in Indonesia. Moreover, governmental approval or special
licenses may be required prior to investments by foreign investors, and governmental restrictions may limit the amount of investments by foreign investors in a particular industry and/or issuer, limit such foreign investment to a certain class of securities of an issuer that may have less advantageous rights than the classes available for purchase by
domiciliaries of Indonesia and/or impose additional taxes on foreign investors. These factors, among others, make investing in issuers located or operating in Indonesia significantly riskier than investing in issuers located or operating in more developed countries, and any one of them could cause a decline in the value of the Funds Shares. The value of the Indonesian Rupiah may be subject to a high degree of fluctuation. The Funds assets will be invested primarily in equity securities of Indonesian issuers, and the income received by the Fund will be principally in Indonesian Rupiah. The Funds exposure to the Indonesian Rupiah and changes in value of the Indonesian Rupiah versus the
U.S. dollar may result in reduced returns to the Fund. Moreover, the Fund may incur costs in connection with conversions between U.S. dollars and the Indonesian Rupiah. Risk of Investing in Foreign Securities. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial 2 vaneck.com
information, higher transactional and custody costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability. Because many foreign securities markets may be limited in size, the prices of securities that trade in such markets may be influenced by large traders. Certain foreign markets that have historically been considered
relatively stable may become volatile in response to changed conditions or new developments. Increased interconnectivity of world economies and financial markets increases the possibility that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies and financial markets in other countries or regions. Foreign
issuers are often subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping than are U.S. issuers, and therefore, not all material information may be available or reliable. Securities exchanges or foreign governments may adopt rules or regulations that may negatively impact the Funds ability to invest in
foreign securities or may prevent the Fund from repatriating its investments. The Fund may invest in depositary receipts which involve similar risks to those associated with investments in foreign securities. In addition, the Fund may not receive shareholder communications or be permitted to vote the securities that it holds, as the issuers may be under
no legal obligation to distribute shareholder communications. Risk of Investing in Emerging Market Issuers. Investments in securities of emerging market issuers are exposed to a number of risks that may make these investments volatile in price or difficult to trade. Political risks may include unstable governments, nationalization, restrictions on foreign ownership, laws that prevent investors from getting their
money out of a country and legal systems that do not protect property rights as well as the laws of the United States. Market risks may include economies that concentrate in only a few industries, securities issues that are held by only a few investors, limited trading capacity in local exchanges and the possibility that markets or issues may be
manipulated by foreign nationals who have inside information. Risk of Investing in the Financial Services Sector. The financial services sector includes engaged in banking, commercial and consumer finance, investment banking, brokerage, asset management, custody or insurance. Because as currently constituted the Indonesia Small-Cap Index is concentrated in the financial services sector, the Fund may be
sensitive to changes in, and its performance will depend to a greater extent on, the overall condition of the financial services sector. Companies in the financial services sector may be subject to extensive government regulation that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. The
profitability of companies in the financial services sector may be adversely affected by increases in interest rates and by loan losses, which usually increase in economic downturns. In addition, the financial services sector is undergoing numerous changes, including continuing consolidations, development of new products and structures and changes to its
regulatory framework. Furthermore, increased government involvement in the financial services sector, including measures such as taking ownership positions in financial institutions, could result in a dilution of the Funds investments in financial institutions. Recent developments in the credit markets have caused companies operating in the financial
services sector to incur large losses, experience declines in the value of their assets and even cease operations. Risk of Investing in the Industrials Sector. The industrials sector includes companies engaged in the manufacture and distribution of capital goods, such as those used in defense, construction and engineering, companies that manufacture and distribute electrical equipment and industrial machinery and those that provide commercial and transportation
services and supplies. Because as currently constituted the Indonesia Small-Cap Index is concentrated in the industrials sector, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance will depend to a greater extent on, the overall condition of the industrials sector. Companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in
government regulation, world events and economic conditions. In addition, companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by environmental damages, product liability claims and exchange rates. Risk of Investing in the Energy Sector. The energy sector includes companies engaged in the exploration, production and distribution of energy sources and companies that manufacture or provide related equipment or services. Because as currently constituted the energy sector represents a significant portion of the Indonesia Small-Cap Index, the Fund
will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, the overall condition of the energy sector. Companies operating in the energy sector are subject to risks including, but not limited to, economic growth, worldwide demand, political instability in the regions that the companies operate, government regulation
stipulating rates charged by utilities, interest rate sensitivity, oil price volatility and the cost of providing the specific utility services. In addition, these companies are at risk of civil liability from accidents resulting in injury, loss of life or property, pollution or other environmental damage claims and risk of loss from terrorism and natural disasters. Risks of Investing in the Consumer Staples Sector. The consumer staples sector includes, among others, manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco, food and drug retailers and products of non-durable household goods and consumer products. Because as currently constituted the consumer staples sector represents a significant
portion of the Indonesia Small-Cap Index, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, the overall condition of the consumer staples sector. These companies may be adversely affected by changes in the worldwide economy, consumer spending, competition, demographics and consumer preferences,
exploration and production spending. Risk of Investing in Small-Capitalization Companies. Small-capitalization companies may be more volatile and more likely than large- and medium-capitalization companies to have narrower product lines, fewer financial resources, less management depth vaneck.com 3
and experience and less competitive strength. Returns on investments in securities of these companies could trail the returns on investments in securities of large- and medium- capitalization companies. Risk of Investing in Micro-Capitalization Companies. Micro-capitalization companies are subject to substantially greater risks of loss and price fluctuations because their earnings and revenues tend to be less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing significant losses), and their share prices tend to be more volatile and their markets less
liquid than companies with larger market capitalizations. The shares of micro-capitalization companies tend to trade less frequently than those of larger, more established companies, which can adversely affect the pricing of these securities and the future ability to sell these securities. Equity Securities Risk. The value of the equity securities held by the Fund may fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the markets in which the issuers of securities held by the Fund participate, or factors relating to specific issuers in which the Fund invests. Equity securities are subordinated to preferred securities and
debt in a companys capital structure with respect to priority in right to a share of corporate income, and therefore will be subject to greater dividend risk than preferred securities or debt instruments. In addition, while broad market measures of equity securities have historically generated higher average returns than fixed income securities, equity
securities have also experienced significantly more volatility in those returns. Issuer-Specific Changes Risk. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Market Risk. The prices of the securities in the Fund are subject to the risk associated with investing in the securities market, including general economic conditions and sudden and unpredictable drops in value. An investment in the Fund may lose money. Index Tracking Risk. The Funds return may not match the return of the Indonesia Small-Cap Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Indonesia Small-Cap Index and incurs costs associated with buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Funds securities
holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Indonesia Small-Cap Index. Because the Fund bears the costs and risks associated with buying and selling securities while such costs and risks are not factored into the return of the Indonesia Small-Cap Index, the Funds return may deviate significantly from the return of the Indonesia Small-Cap
Index. In addition, the Fund may not be able to invest in certain securities included in the Indonesia Small-Cap Index, or invest in them in the exact proportions in which they are represented in the Indonesia Small-Cap Index, due to legal restrictions or limitations imposed by the government of Indonesia or a lack of liquidity on stock exchanges in which
such securities trade. The Fund is expected to value certain of its investments based on fair value prices. To the extent the Fund calculates its net asset value (NAV) based on fair value prices and the value of the Index is based on securities closing prices on local foreign markets (i.e., the value of the is not based on fair value prices), the Funds
ability to track the Indonesia Small-Cap Index may be adversely affected. Replication Management Risk. An investment in the Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund of equity securities traded on an exchange, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in security prices. However, because the Fund is not
actively managed, unless a specific security is removed from the Indonesia Small-Cap Index, the Fund generally would not sell a security because the securitys issuer was in financial trouble. Therefore, the Funds performance could be lower than funds that may actively shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or to lessen
the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. Premium/Discount Risk. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for Shares may result in Shares trading at a significant premium or discount to NAV. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at
a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. Non-Diversified Risk. The Fund is classified as a non-diversified investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). Therefore, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers or may invest a larger proportion of its assets in a single company. As a result, the gains
and losses on a single investment may have a greater impact on the Funds NAV and may make the Fund more volatile than more diversified funds. The Fund may be particularly vulnerable to this risk because the Indonesia Small-Cap Index it seeks to replicate is comprised of securities of a very limited number of companies. Concentration Risk. The Funds assets may be concentrated in a particular sector or sectors or industry or group of industries to the extent the Indonesia Small-Cap Index concentrates in a particular sector or sectors or industry or group of industries. Based on the current composition of the Indonesia Small-Cap Index, the Funds assets are
concentrated in the financial services and industrials sectors and that the Fund will be subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on those sectors will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Funds assets were invested in a wider variety of sectors or industries. 4 vaneck.com
