Shareholder Expense Example

(Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs for purchasing and selling shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held throughout the entire period (December 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021), except as noted in footnotes below.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line under the Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

⁽^⁾	Fund commenced operations on December 22, 2020.

⁽¹⁾	Actual expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value during the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent inception period, 161 days, and divided by the number of days in the most recent twelve-month period, 365 days.

⁽²⁾

Hypothetical expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value during the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, 182 days, and divided by the number of days in the most recent twelve-month period, 365 days.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

1.	ORGANIZATION

Swan Hedged Equity US Large Cap ETF (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified series of Listed Funds Trust (the “Trust”), formerly Active Weighting Funds ETF Trust. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 26, 2016, under a Declaration of Trust amended on December 21, 2018 and is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks long term capital appreciation while mitigating overall market risk. The Fund uses a combination of several strategies to produce capital appreciation while reducing risk exposure across market conditions.

Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the organization, registration and the initial public offering of shares were paid by Swan Capital Management, LLC (“Swan Capital” or “Adviser”), the Fund’s Investment Adviser.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The Fund prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the significant accounting policies described below.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Share Transactions

The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund will be equal to the Fund’s total assets minus the Fund’s total liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest cent. The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading.

Fair Value Measurement

In calculating the NAV, the Fund’s exchange-traded equity securities will be valued at fair value, which will generally be determined using the last reported official closing or last trading price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation. Such valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below.

Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. are generally valued at the NASDAQ official closing price.

If market quotations are not readily available, or if it is determined that a quotation of a security does not represent fair value, then the security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser using procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The circumstances in which a security may be fair valued include, among others: the occurrence of events that are significant to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults; the occurrence of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in a particular region or government actions; trading restrictions on securities; thinly traded securities; and market events such as trading halts and early market closings. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV determined by using market quotations. Such valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below.

Money market funds are valued at NAV. If NAV is not readily available the securities will be valued at fair value.

Swan Hedged Equity US Large Cap ETF

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited) (Continued)

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurements. Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the following hierarchy:

●

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

●

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

●

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the composite mean price, which calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest asked price across the exchange. On the last trading day prior to expiration, expiring options may be priced at intrinsic value. The premium a fund pays when purchasing a call option or receives when writing a call option will reflect, among other things, the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the volatility of the security, the length of the option period and supply and demand factors. The premium is the value of an option at the date of purchase.

All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board, although the actual calculations may be done by others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited) (Continued)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at May 31, 2021 are as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Investments - Assets:
Exchange Traded Funds	$	44,340,144	$	—	$	—	$	44,340,144
Money Market Funds		1,080,491		—		—		1,080,491
Purchased Options		—		14,877,155		—		14,877,155
Total Investments - Assets	$	45,420,635	$	14,877,155	$	—	$	60,297,790

Other Financial Instruments - Liabilities:
Written Options	$	—	$	10,285,375	$	—	$	10,285,375

Security Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated based on the specific identification basis.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends has been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. An amortized cost method of valuation may be used with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Adviser determines in good faith that such method does not represent fair value.

Tax Information, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders and Uncertain Tax Positions

The Fund is treated as a separate entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). To qualify and remain eligible for the special tax treatment accorded to RICs, the Fund must meet certain annual income and quarterly asset diversification requirements and must distribute annually at least 90% of the sum of (i) its investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest and net short-term capital gains) and (ii) certain net tax-exempt income, if any. If so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to Federal income tax.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund generally pays out dividends from net investment income, if any, at least annually, and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with Federal tax requirements. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported as a tax return of capital.

Management evaluates the Fund’s tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to income taxes would be recorded as income tax expense. The Fund’s Federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

The Fund commenced operations on December 22, 2020.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Fund expects to enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these anticipated arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Adviser expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Derivatives

The Fund may purchase and write put and call options on indices and enter into related closing transactions. All options written on indices or securities must be covered, the Fund will segregate cash and/or other liquid assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s obligations. Put and call options on indices give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount of cash if the closing level of the underlying index is greater than (or less than, in the case of puts) the exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal to the difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option, expressed in dollars multiplied by a specified number. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration for undertaking the obligations under the option contract.

The Fund utilizes the defined risk strategy philosophy developed in 1997 by Randy Swan, President of the Adviser. In implementing this strategy, the equity portion of the Fund’s portfolio is hedged using put options and the option portion of the Fund’s portfolio is actively managed to seek additional return or provide risk mitigation. Additionally, the Fund invests in derivatives in order to protect against a possible decline in the market value of the securities in its portfolio, to anticipate an increase in the market value of securities that the Fund may seek to purchase in the future and as a means of increasing the yield on its assets. The Fund purchasing put and call options pays a premium; therefore, if price movements in the underlying securities are such that exercise of the options would not be profitable for the Fund, loss of the premium paid may be offset by an increase in the value of the Fund’s securities or by a decrease in the cost of acquisition of securities by the Fund. When the Fund writes an option, if the underlying securities do not increase or decrease to a price level that would make the exercise of the option profitable to the holder thereof, the option generally will expire without being exercised and the Fund will realize as profit the premium received for such option. When a call option of which the Fund is the writer is exercised, the Fund will be required to sell the underlying securities to the option holder at the strike price and will not participate in any increase in the price of such securities above the strike price. When a put option of which the Fund is the writer is exercised, the Fund will be required to purchase the underlying securities at a price in excess of the market value of such securities. The Fund maintains minimal counterparty risk through contracts bought or sold on an exchange. As of May 31, 2021, the Fund’s derivative instruments are not subject to a master netting arrangement.

The average monthly value outstanding of purchased and written options during the period ended May 31, 2021 were as follows:

Purchased Options		$	7,069,406
Written Options			4,617,015

Investment Advisory Agreement

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides a continuous investment program for the Fund’s assets in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and limitations, and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Fund subject to the supervision of the Board, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”).

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Swan Capital, the Fund pays a unified management fee to the Adviser, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Swan Capital has agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund except the fee paid to Swan Capital under the Advisory Agreement, interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution (12b-1) fees and expenses (if any).

Swan Global Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company serves as the sub-adviser to the Fund. Pursuant to a Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), the Sub-Adviser is responsible for trading portfolio securities on behalf of the Fund, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board, including the Independent Trustees. For its services, the Sub-Adviser is entitled to a sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser, which fee is calculated and paid monthly, at a rate of 70% of the Adviser’s net advisory fee.

Distribution Agreement and 12b-1 Plan

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as the Fund’s distributor pursuant to a Distribution Services Agreement. The Distributor receives compensation for the statutory underwriting services it provides to the Fund. The Distributor enters into agreements with certain broker-dealers and others that will allow those parties to be “Authorized Participants” and to subscribe for and redeem shares of the Fund. The Distributor will not distribute shares in less than whole Creation Units and does not maintain a secondary market in shares.

The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1 Plan”). In accordance with the Rule 12b-1 Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. As authorized by the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Fund and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser and its affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Fund.

Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”) serves as administrator, transfer agent and fund accountant of the Fund pursuant to a Fund Servicing Agreement. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”), an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as the Fund’s custodian pursuant to a Custody Agreement. Under the terms of these agreements, the Adviser pays the Fund’s administrative, custody and transfer agency fees.

A Trustee and all officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Administrator and the Custodian.

4.	CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS

Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. The Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” A Creation Unit consists of 10,000 shares. Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The NAV of the shares of the Fund will be equal to the Fund’s total assets minus the Fund’s total liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of Creation Units, the NAV will be calculated to five decimal places.

Creation Unit Transaction Fee

Authorized Participants may be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (the “Creation Unit Transaction Fee”) in connection with the issuance or redemption of Creation Units. The standard Creation Unit Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable business day. The Creation Unit Transaction Fee charged by the Fund for each creation order is $250.

An additional variable fee of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction may be imposed for (1) creations effected outside the Clearing Process and (2) creations made in an all cash amount (to offset the Trust’s brokerage and other transaction costs associated with using cash to purchase the requisite Deposit Securities). Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the Deposit Securities to the account of the Trust. The Fund may determine to not charge a variable fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that doing so is in the best interests of Fund shareholders. Variable fees, if any, received by the Fund are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions section on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

Only “Authorized Participants” may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Fund. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Securities received or delivered in connection with in-kind creates and redeems are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the creation or redemption.

A Creation Unit will generally not be issued until the transfer of good title of the deposit securities to the Fund and the payment of any cash amounts have been completed. To the extent contemplated by the applicable participant agreement, Creation Units of the Fund will be issued to such authorized participant notwithstanding the fact that the Fund’s deposits have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the authorized participant to deliver the missing deposit securities as soon as possible. If the Fund or its agents do not receive all of the deposit securities, or the required cash amounts, by such time, then the order may be deemed rejected and the authorized participant shall be liable to the Fund for losses, if any.

6.	PRINCIPAL RISKS

As with all ETFs, shareholders of the Fund are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Fund is subject to the principal risks, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.

A complete description of principal risks is included in the prospectus under the heading ‘’Principal Investment Risks’’.

7.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 7, 2021, Foreside Financial Group, LLC (“Foreside”), the Fund’s distributor, announced that it had entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Genstar Capital (“Genstar”) such that Genstar would acquire a majority stake in Foreside. The transaction is expected to close at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Foreside will remain the Fund’s distributor at the close of the transaction, subject to Board approval.

Other than as disclosed, there were no other subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Board Consideration and Approval of Advisory Agreements

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

At a meeting held on December 10, 2020 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Listed Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the approval of an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Swan Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Swan Hedged Equity US Large Cap ETF (the “Fund”), and a separate investment sub-advisory agreement (together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Adviser, the Trust, and Swan Global Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to the Fund.

Pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act and related exemptive relief, the Agreements must be approved by: (i) the vote of the Trustees or a vote of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with its consideration of such approval, the Board must request and evaluate, and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser are required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. In addition, rules under the 1940 Act require an investment company to disclose in its shareholder reports the material factors and the conclusions with respect thereto that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of an investment advisory agreement.

Consistent with those responsibilities, prior to the Meeting, the Board reviewed written materials from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and, during the Meeting, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser presented additional oral and written information to assist the Board with its evaluation of the Agreements. Among other things, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided overviews of their advisory businesses, including information on investment personnel, financial resources, experience, investment processes, and compliance program. The representatives discussed the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, as well as the rationale for launching the Fund, the Fund’s proposed fees, and the operational aspects of the Fund. During the Meeting, the Board discussed the materials it received, including memoranda from legal counsel to the Trust on the responsibilities of the Trustees in considering the approval of investment advisory agreements under the 1940 Act, considered the written materials that it received before the Meeting and the oral presentations, and deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this information. Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session with counsel to the Trust to further discuss the proposed advisory and sub-advisory arrangements and the Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto. The consideration of the Agreements was conducted by both the full Board and the Independent Trustees, who also voted separately.

At the Meeting, the Board and the Independent Trustees evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to the Fund; (ii) Fund expenses and performance; (iii) the cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by each of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Trust and the Fund; (iv) comparative fee and expense data for the Fund and other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether the overall advisory fee for the Fund would enable investors to share in the benefits of economies of scale; (vi) any benefits to be derived by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the Trust, including any fall-out benefits enjoyed by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser; and (vii) other factors the Board deemed relevant. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single piece of information that was paramount or controlling and the individual Trustees may have attributed different weights to various factors.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the Agreements, noting that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Fund, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of related services such as portfolio management compliance services, and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Trustees reviewed the extensive responsibilities that the Adviser will have as investment adviser to the Fund, including the oversight of the activities and operations of the Sub-Adviser and other service providers, oversight of general fund compliance with federal and state laws, and the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Fund. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience and qualifications of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management. The Board also considered the Adviser’s

Board Consideration and Approval of Advisory Agreements

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited) (Continued)

and Sub-Adviser’s operational capabilities and resources and their experience in managing investment portfolios. The Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

Fund Expenses and Performance. Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Board noted that there were no historical performance records to consider. The Board was presented with information about the Fund’s investment strategies and expected break-even expense analyses. The Board also reviewed information regarding the Fund’s proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, including advisory fees and total expense ratios of those funds that might be considered peers of the Fund. With regard to the latter point, the Board considered the lack of other active exchange-traded funds that pursue investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the investment advisory and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios appeared to be competitive and are otherwise reasonable in light of the information provided.

Cost of Services to be Provided and Profitability. The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability projected by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including the methodology underlying such projection. The Board also reviewed information regarding the estimated break-even point for the Fund taking into consideration potential direct and ancillary revenue received by the Adviser in connection with the services to be provided to the Fund. The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee for the Fund is a “unified fee,” meaning the Fund would pay no expenses other than the advisory fee and certain other specified costs such as interest, brokerage and extraordinary expenses and, to the extent it is implemented, fees pursuant to a Distribution and/or Shareholder Servicing (12b-1) Plan. The Board noted that the Adviser would be responsible for compensating the Trust’s other service providers, including the Sub-Adviser, and paying the Fund’s other expenses out of its own resources.

Economies of Scale. The Board discussed whether economies of scale would be realized by the Fund at higher asset levels. The Board also assessed whether certain of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s costs would increase if asset levels rise. The Board noted that since the Fund had not yet launched, it was difficult to estimate whether economies of scale might be realized in the future. The Board also noted, however, that any economies would, to some degree, be shared with Fund shareholders through the Fund’s unitary fee structure. In the event there were to be significant asset growth in the Fund, the Board determined to reassess whether the advisory and sub-advisory fees appropriately took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as a result of that growth.

Other Benefits to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. In addition to evaluating the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser or Sub-Adviser may realize other benefits from its relationship to the Fund. While the Board acknowledged that the Adviser or Sub-Adviser may experience reputational success if the Fund performs well in the future, it did not identify any other potential benefits at this early stage and agreed to reassess potential benefits at a future meeting. Based on its review, the Board concluded that any ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Fund’s shareholders.

Conclusion. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees separately, unanimously: (i) concluded that the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable; (ii) concluded that the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable in light of the services to be provided; and (iii) determined that the approval of each Agreement for an initial term of two years was in the best interests of the Fund and its future shareholders.

Review of Liquidity Risk Management Program

(Unaudited)

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust, on behalf of the series of the Trust covered by this shareholder report (the “Series”), has adopted a liquidity risk management program to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk. Rule 22e-4 seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management, thereby reducing the risk that a fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Trust’s liquidity risk management program is tailored to reflect the Series’ particular risks, but not to eliminate all adverse impacts of liquidity risk, which would be incompatible with the nature of such Series.

The investment adviser to the Series has adopted and implemented its own written liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) tailored specifically to assess and manage the liquidity risk of the Series. At a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the Trustees received a report pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the period ended December 31, 2020. The report concluded that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Series’ liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage such risk. The report reflected that there were no liquidity events that impacted the Series’ ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The report further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding the Series’ exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Series may be subject.
