access to the same information that

12,022 responses).

Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

Applicants’ Representations
1. The Trust is registered as an openend management investment company
under the Act and organized as a
Delaware business trust. The Trust will
initially offer two series, Market
Vectors—Active Africa ETF (‘‘Active
Africa ETF’’) and Market Vectors—
Active Short Municipal ETF (‘‘Active
Short Municipal ETF’’) (together, the
‘‘Initial Funds’’). The investment
objective of the Active Africa ETF will
be to provide long-term capital growth
by investing primarily in equity
securities in Africa. The investment
objective of the Active Short Municipal
ETF will be to seek as high a level of
tax-exempt income as is consistent with
preservation of capital.
2. Applicants request that the order
apply to any future series of the Trust
or of other open-end management
companies that may utilize active
management investment strategies
(‘‘Future Funds’’).1 Any Future Fund
will be (a) advised by the Adviser or an
entity controlling, controlled by, or
under common control with the
Adviser, and (b) comply with the terms
and conditions of the application.
Future Funds may invest in equity
securities or fixed income securities
(‘‘Fixed Income Funds’’) traded in U.S.
markets or securities traded on global
markets (together with the Active Africa
ETF, the ‘‘Foreign Funds’’).2 The Initial
Funds and Future Funds, including the
Foreign Funds, together are the ‘‘Funds.’’
3. The Adviser, a Delaware
corporation, is registered as an
investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940
(‘‘Advisers Act’’) and will serve as
investment adviser to the Funds. The
Adviser may retain investment advisers
as sub-advisers in connection with the
Funds (each, a ‘‘Fund Sub-Adviser’’).
Any Fund Sub-Adviser will be
registered under the Advisers Act. The
Distributor, a Delaware corporation, is
registered as a broker-dealer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
1 All entities that currently intend to rely on the
order are named as applicants. Any other entity that
relies on the order in the future will comply with
the terms and conditions of the application. An
Investing Fund (as defined below) may rely on the
order only to invest in the Funds and not in any
other registered investment company.
2 Neither the Initial Funds nor any Future Fund
will invest in option contracts, futures contracts, or
swap agreements.
