(Unaudited)
1
Market
review
The
period
from
the
Fund's
inception on
November
28, 2023
to
the
end
of
March
2024
saw
a
continuation
of
many
familiar
storylines.
Inflation
and
the
responding
rate-hiking
cycle
continued
to
exert
pressure
on
certain
pockets
of
the
global
economy
and
financial
markets,
but
none
with
enough
severity
to
tip
the
overall
economy
into
recession.
Inflation
continued
along
a
slow
and
bumpy
descent
from
its
highs,
but
questions
remained
about
the
“last
mile.”
The
US
Federal
Reserve
kept
interest
rates
unchanged
in
the
first
quarter
of
2024,
with
the
federal
funds
target
range
currently
at
5.25
to
5.5%.
Bond
yields
generally
rose
throughout
the
quarter.
Other
central
banks
have
moved
to
an
easing
stance
as
well,
including
the
European
Central
Bank.
One
major
exception
is
the
Bank
of
Japan,
which
raised
short-term
interest
rates
for
the
first
time
in
17
years
and
abandoned
its
negative
interest
rate
policy
as
wage
growth
and
inflation
continue
to
rise.
Separately,
China
continued
to
gradually
ease
both
fiscal
and
monetary
policy.
Labor
markets
remained
historically
strong
and
economic
growth
continued
near
long-term
trends.
Interest
rates
drifted
higher
as
solid
growth
delayed
projections
for
the
beginning
of
a
rate-cutting
cycle.
Despite
higher
rates,
enthusiasm
about
the
mere
prospects
for
cuts
without
the
recession
that
typically
accompanies
them
fueled
gains
as
equity
markets
continued
their
‘risk-on’
trade.
Against
this
backdrop,
the
listed
Infrastructure
index
underperformed
global
equities
during the
period.

Within
the
Fund
For
the
period
from
its
inception
on
November
28,
2023,
to
March
31,
2024,
Macquarie
Global
Listed
Infrastructure
ETF
underperformed
its
broad-based,
primary
benchmark,
the
MSCI
World
Index.
The
Fund
gained
1.97%
at
net
asset
value
(NAV)
and
advanced
2.45%
at
market
price.
For
the
same
period,
the
benchmark
gained
14.68%.
The
Fund
also
underperformed
its
secondary
benchmark,
the
S&P
Global
Infrastructure
Index
(net),
which
gained
5.74%
during
the
period.
Key
sector
contributors
to
the
Fund's
performance
included
stocks
in
the
airports
and
rail
sectors,
while
the
communications
infrastructure
and
water
sectors
detracted
from
performance.

The
airports
sector
was
a
strong
contributor
to
performance
during
the
period.
Swiss
airport
company
Flughafen
Zurich
AG
 was
a
notable
performer
buoyed
by
recovering
traffic
volume,
though
the
company
does
not
yet
expect
traffic
to
be
back
to
2019
(pre-pandemic)
levels
this
year.
Within
the
rail
sector,
Canadian
National
Railway
Co.
outperformed,
in-line
with
the
North
American
railroads
sector,
due
to
optimism
about
a
volume
and
earnings
recovery
in
the
second
half
of
2024.
The
airports
sector
also
performed
well
during
the
first
quarter
of
2024.
Japanese
rail
companies
East
Japan
Railway
Co.
 and
West
Japan
Railway
Co.
 were
also
meaningful
contributors
during
the
period.
Among
the
detractors,
the
communications
infrastructure
sector
underperformed
as
the
market
shifted
to
“risk-on”
mode.
Spanish
Cellnex
Telecom
SA
and
US-based
Crown
Castle
Inc.
were
the
significant
detractors
in
the
sector.
Crown
Castle
underperformed
as
bond
yields
increased
in
the
US.
The
company
considered
options
for
selling
down
non-core
fiber
assets,
while
also
seeking
new
management
under
the
guidance
of
significant
shareholder
Elliott
Investment
Management.
The
water
utility
sector
also
underperformed
due
to
rising
UK
bond
yields
and
the
fallout
from
negative
press
reports,
with
UK
water
companies
Severn
Trent
PLC
,
United
Utilities
Group
PLC
,
and
Pennon
Group
PLC
leading
this
underperformance.
On
a
risk-adjusted
basis,
the
UK
water
sector
continues
to
be
one
of
the
more
attractive
parts
of
our
investment
universe,
combining
all
the
desired
characteristics
that
we
look
for
in
an
investment,
including
highly
transparent
regulation,
high
growth
rates,
and
attractive
valuations.
At
the
end
of
the
period,
the
Fund
held
positions
in
27
stocks
in
12
countries
across 4 infrastructure
sectors.

As
a
shareholder
of
the
Fund,
you
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
brokerage
commissions
on
purchases
and
sales
of
your
ETF
shares,
reinvested
dividends,
or
other
distributions;
and
exchange
fees;
and
(2)
ongoing
costs,
including
management
fees; and
other
Fund
expenses.
This
example
is
intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars)
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
other
funds.
The
example
is
based
on
an
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
period
and
held
for
the period
from
November
28,
2023*
to March
31,
2024.
Actual
expenses 
The
first
section
of
the
table
shown,
“Actual
Fund
return,”
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
You
may
use
the
information
in
this
section
of
the
table,
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
section
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
section
of
the
table
shown,
“Hypothetical
5%
return,”
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
on
purchases
and
sales
of
your
ETF
shares,
or
exchange
fees.
Therefore,
the
second
section
of
the
table
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
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.
The
Fund's
expenses
shown
in
the
table assume
reinvestment
of
all
dividends
and
distributions.

is
an

the
U.S.
Securities

Commission.
As
of
the
date

the
Trust
offers
three
series.
These
financial
statements
and
the
related
notes
pertain
to
Macquarie
Global
Listed
Infrastructure
ETF (the
Fund).
The
Fund
commenced
operations
on
November
28,
2023
.
The
Fund
is
considered
diversified
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(1940
Act).

Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
Fund
follows
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
under
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
Topic
946,
Financial
Services
Investment
Companies.
The
following
accounting
policies
are
in
accordance
with
US
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
(US
GAAP)
and
are
consistently
followed
by
the
Fund.
Security
Valuation
Equity
securities,
except
those
traded
on
the
Nasdaq
Stock
Market
LLC
(Nasdaq),
are
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sales
price
as
of
the
time
of
the
regular
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
on
the
valuation
date.
Equity
securities
traded
on
the
Nasdaq
are
valued
in
accordance
with
the
Nasdaq
Official
Closing
Price,
which
may
not
be
the
last
sales
price.
If,
on
a
particular
day,
an
equity
security
does
not
trade,
the
mean
between
the
bid
and
the
ask
prices
will
be
used,
which
approximates
fair
value.
Equity
securities
listed
on
a
foreign
exchange
are
normally
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sales
price
on
the
valuation
date.
Open-end
investment
companies
are
valued
at
their
published
net
asset
value
(NAV). Generally,
other
securities
and
assets
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
by
Delaware
Management
Company
(DMC
or
the
Manager).
Subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Trust's
Board
of
Trustees
(Board),
DMC,
as
valuation
designee,
has
adopted
policies
and
procedures
to
fair
value
securities
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
consistent
with
the
requirements
of
Rule
2a-5
under
the
1940
Act.
In
determining
whether
market
quotations
are
readily
available
or
fair
valuation
will
be
used,
various
factors
will
be
taken
into
consideration,
such
as
market
closures
or
suspension
of
trading
in
a
security.
Restricted
securities
and
private
placements
are
valued
at
fair
value.
Federal
Income
Taxes
No
provision
for
federal
income
taxes
has
been
made
as the
Fund
intends
to
qualify
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
and
make
the
requisite
distributions
to
shareholders.
The
Fund
evaluates
tax
positions
taken
or
expected
to
be
taken
in
the
course
of
preparing
the
Fund's
tax
returns
to
determine
whether
the
tax
positions
are
“more-likely-than-not”
of
being
sustained
by
the
applicable
tax
authority.
Tax
positions
not
deemed
to
meet
the
“more-likely-than-not”
threshold
are
recorded
as
a
tax
benefit
or
expense
in
the
current
period.
Management
has
analyzed the
Fund’s
tax
positions
taken
or
expected
to
be
taken
on the
Fund’s
federal
income
tax
returns
through
the period ended
March
31,
2024
,
and
has
concluded
that
no
provision
for
federal
income
tax
is
required
in
the
Fund’s
financial
statements.
If
applicable, the
Fund
recognizes
interest
accrued
on
unrecognized
tax
benefits
in
interest
expense
and
penalties
in
“Other”
on
the
“Statement
of
operations.”
During
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
incur
any
interest
or
tax
penalties.

Foreign
Currency
Transactions
Transactions
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
recorded
at
the
prevailing
exchange
rates
on
the
valuation
date.
The
value
of
all
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
is
translated
daily
into
US
dollars
at
the
exchange
rate
of
such
currencies
against
the
US
dollar.
Transaction
gains
or
losses
resulting
from
changes
in
exchange
rates
during
the
reporting
period
or
upon
settlement
of
the
foreign
currency
transaction
are
reported
in
operations
for
the
current
period.
The
Fund
generally
does
not
bifurcate
that
portion
of
realized
gains
and
losses
on
investments
which
is
due
to
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
that
which
is
due
to
changes
in
market
prices.
These
realized
gains
and
losses
are
included
on
the
“Statement
of
operations”
under
“Net
realized
gain
(loss)
on
investments.”  The
Fund
reports
certain
foreign
currency
related
transactions
as
components
of
realized
gains
(losses)
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
whereas
such
components
are
treated
as
ordinary
income
(loss)
for
federal
income
tax
purposes. 
In-kind
Redemptions 
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
in-kind
redemptions
are
treated
as
sales
of
securities
resulting
in
realized
capital
gains
or
losses
to
the
Fund.
Because
such
gains
or
losses
are
not
taxable
to
the
Fund
and
are
not
distributed
to
existing
Fund
shareholders,
the
gains
or
losses
are
reclassified
from
accumulated
net
realized
gain
(loss)
to
paid-in
capital
at
the
end
of
the
Fund’s
tax
year.
These
reclassifications
have
no
effect
on
net
assets
NAV
per
share.
Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
conformity
with
US
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
fair
value
of
investments,
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
and
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements,
and
the
reported
amounts
of
revenues
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates
and
the
differences
could
be
material.
Other
Security
transactions
are
recorded
on
the
date
the
securities
are
purchased
or
sold
(trade
date)
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Costs
used
in
calculating
realized
gains
and
losses
on
the
sale
of
investment
securities
are
those
of
the
specific
securities
sold.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
and
interest
income
is
recorded
on
an
accrual
basis.
Foreign
dividends
are
also
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
or
as
soon
after
the
ex-dividend
date
that
the
Fund
is
aware
of
such
dividends,

Investment
Management,
Administration
Agreements,
and
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates 
In
accordance
with
the
terms
of
its
investment
management
agreement,
the
Fund
pays
DMC,
a
series
of
Macquarie
Investment
Management
Business
Trust
and
the
investment
manager,
an
annual
unitary
management
fee
which
is
calculated
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
the
rate
of
0.49%
on
the
Fund's
average
daily
net
assets.
From
the
unitary
management
fees,
DMC
pays
most
of
the
expenses
of
the
Fund,
including
the
cost
of
sub-advisory
fees
to
any
investment
sub-adviser,
transfer
agency,
custody,
fund
administration,
legal,
audit
and
other
services.
However,
under
the
investment
management
agreement,
DMC
is
not
responsible
for
(i)
interest
expenses;
(ii)
taxes
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
income,
excise,
transfer
and
withholding
taxes);
(iii)
expenses
of
a
Fund
incurred
with
respect
to
the
acquisition
and
disposition
of
portfolio
securities,
instruments
or
other
investments
and
the
execution
of
portfolio
transactions,
including
brokerage
commissions;
(iv)
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
any
distribution
plan
adopted
by
the
Trust
in
compliance
with
Rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act,
including

fees;
(v)
litigation
expenses;
(vi)
the
investment
advisory
fee
payable
to
the
Manager;
(vii)
non-routine
or
extraordinary
expenses
(including,
without
limitation,
the
expense
associated
with
proxy
solicitations
and
fund
reorganizations);
and
(viii)
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses. 
DMC
entered
into
a
sub-advisory
agreement
on
behalf
of
the
Fund
with
Macquarie
Investment
Management
Global
Limited,
which
is
an
affiliate
of
DMC
(Affiliated
Sub-Advisor).
Although
the
Manager
has
principal
responsibility
for
the
Manager’s
portion
of
the
Fund,
the
Manager
may
permit
the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisor
to
execute
Fund
security
trades
on
behalf
of
the
Manager.
Pursuant
to
the
terms
of
the
sub-advisory
agreement,
the
investment
sub-advisory
fee
is
paid
by
DMC
to
the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisor
based
on
the
extent
to
which
the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisor
provides
services
to
the
Fund.
At
March
31,
2024,
Macquarie
Management
Holdings,
Inc.
directly
owned
95.00%
of
the
Fund. 
In
addition
to
the
management
fees
and
other
expenses
of the
Fund, the
Fund
indirectly
bears
the
investment
management
fees
and
other
expenses
of
any
Underlying
Funds,
in
which
it
invests.
The
amount
of
these
fees
and
expenses
incurred
indirectly
by the
Fund
will
vary
based
upon
the
expense
and
fee
levels
of
any
Underlying
Funds
and
the
number
of

that
are
owned
of
any

Investments
For
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024
,
the
Fund
made
purchases
and
sales
of
investment
securities
other
than
short-term
investments
and
US
government
securities as
follows: 
For
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024,
investment
transactions
related
to
in-kind
purchases
and
sales
were
as
follows:
The
tax
cost
of
investments
includes
adjustments
to
net
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
which
may
not
necessarily
be
the
final
tax
cost
basis
adjustments
but
which
approximate
the
tax
basis
unrealized
gains
and
losses
that
may
be
realized
and
distributed
to
shareholders.
At
March
31,
2024
,
the
cost
and
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
of
investments
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
for
the
Fund
were
as
follows: 
US
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
that
the
Fund
would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date
under
current
market
conditions.
A
three-level
hierarchy
for
fair
value
measurements
has
been
established
based
upon
the
transparency
of
inputs
to
the
valuation
of
an
asset
or
liability.
Inputs
may
be
observable
or
unobservable
and
refer
broadly
to
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability.
Observable
inputs
reflect
the
assumptions
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability
based
on
market
data
obtained
from
sources
independent
of
the
reporting
entity.
Unobservable
inputs
reflect
the
reporting
entity’s
own
assumptions
about
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability
based
on
the
best
information
available
under
the
circumstances.
The
Fund's
investment
in
its
entirety
is
assigned
a
level
based
upon
the
observability
of
the
inputs
which
are
significant
to
the
overall
valuation.
The
three-level
hierarchy
of
inputs
is
summarized
as
follows:
Level
 1
Inputs
are
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
investments.
(Examples:
equity
securities,
open-end
investment
companies,

Level
 2 —
Other
observable
inputs,
including,
but
not
limited
to:
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
active,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
not
active,
inputs
other
than
quoted
prices
that
are
observable
for
the
assets
or
liabilities
(such
as
interest
rates,
yield
curves,
volatilities,
prepayment
speeds,
loss
severities,
credit
risks,
and
default
rates)
or
other
market-corroborated
inputs.
(Examples:
debt
securities,
government
securities,
swap
contracts,
forward
foreign currency
exchange
contracts,
foreign
securities
utilizing
international
fair
value
pricing,
broker-quoted
securities,
and
fair
valued
securities)
Level
 3 — Significant
unobservable
inputs,
including
the
Fund's
own
assumptions
used
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
investments.
(Examples:
broker-quoted
securities
and
fair
valued
securities)
Level
3
investments
are
valued
using
significant
unobservable
inputs.
The
Fund
may
also
use
an
income-based
valuation
approach
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Valuations
may
also
be
based
upon
current
market
prices
of
securities
that
are
comparable
in
coupon,
rating,
maturity,
and
industry.
The
derived
value
of
a
Level
3
investment
may
not
represent
the
value
which
is
received
upon
disposition
and
this
could
impact
the
results
of
operations.
The
following
table
summarizes
the
valuation
of
the
Fund's
investments
by
fair
value
hierarchy
levels
as
of
March
31,
2024
:
During
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024
,
there
were
no
transfers
into

The

Level
3
investments
based
on
fair
value
at
the
beginning
of
the
reporting

Dividend
and
Distribution
Information 
Income
and
long-term
capital
gain
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
US
GAAP. Additionally,
distributions
from
net
gains
on
foreign
currency
transactions
and
net
short-term
gains
on
sales
of
investment
securities
are
treated
as
ordinary
income
for
federal
income
tax
purposes.
The
tax
character
of
dividends
and
distributions
paid
during
the
period
ended
March

were
as
follows:

Components
of
Net
Assets
on
a
Tax
Basis 
As
of
March
31,
2024,
the
components
of
net
assets
on
a
tax
basis
were
as
follows: 
The
differences
between
book
basis
and
tax
basis
components
of
net
assets
are
primarily
attributable
to
tax
deferral
of
losses
on
wash
sales.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
capital
accounts
are
adjusted
to
reflect
the
tax
character
of
permanent
book/tax
differences.
Results
of
operations
and
net
assets
were
not
affected
by
these
reclassifications.
For
the
period
ended
March

2024
,
the
Fund
had
no
reclassifications.

Issuance
and
Redemption
of
Fund
Shares 
The
Fund
is
an
exchange-traded
fund
or
ETF.
Individual
Fund
shares
may
only
be
purchased
and
sold
on
a
national
securities
exchange
through
a
broker-dealer
and
investors
may
pay
a
commission
to
such
broker-dealers
in
connection
with
their
purchase
or
sale.
The
price
of
Fund
shares
is
based
on
market
price,
and
because
ETF
shares
trade
at
market
prices
rather
than
NAV,
shares
may
trade
at
a
price
greater
than
NAV
(a
premium)
or
less
than

The
Fund
will

25,000
shares
or
multiples
thereof
(“Creation

of
assets
that
the
Fund
specifies
each
day.
Shares
are
listed
on
the

Fund
shares
on
the
secondary
market,
the
investor
will
pay
or
receive
the

price,
which
may
be
higher
or
lower
than

The
investor's
transaction
will
be
priced
at
NAV
if
the
investor
purchases
or
redeems
Fund
shares
in
Creation
Units.
Authorized
Participants
purchasing
and
redeeming
Creation
Units
may
pay
a
purchase
transaction
fee
and
a
redemption
transaction
fee
directly
to
the
Fund's
Administrator
to
offset
transfer
and
other
transaction
costs
associated
with
the
issuance
and
redemption
of
Creation
Units,
including
Creation
Units
for
cash.
Additionally,
a
portion
of
the
transaction
fee
is
used
to
offset
transactional
costs
typically
accrued
in
the
Fund's
custody
expenses
directly
related
to
the
issuance
and
redemption
of
Creation
Units.
An
additional

may
be
charged
for
certain

would
be
included
in

Certain
Principal
Risks
of
the
Fund
Sustainability
risk
Investing
with
a
focus
on
companies
that
exhibit
a
commitment
to
sustainable
practices
may
result
in
the
Fund
investing
in
certain
types
of
companies,
industries
or
sectors
that
the
market
may
not
favor.
The
securities
of
such
companies
may
underperform
the
stock
market
as
a
whole
and
the
criteria
used
to
select
companies
for
investment
may
result
in
the
Fund
investing
in
securities
that
underperform
securities
of
companies
that
do
not
exhibit
such
a
commitment
to
sustainability.
Company
size
risk
The
risk
that
investments
in
small-
and/or
medium-sized
companies
may
be
more
volatile
than
those
of
larger
companies
because
of
limited
financial
resources
or
dependence
on
narrow
product
lines. 
Infrastructure
industry
risk
Companies
in
the
infrastructure
industry
may
be
subject
to
a
variety
of
factors
that
could
adversely
affect
their
business
or
operations,
including
high
interest
costs
in
connection
with
capital
construction
programs,
high
degrees
of
leverage,
costs
associated
with
governmental,
environmental
and
other
regulations,
the
level
of
government
spending
on
infrastructure
projects,
and
other
factors. 
Foreign
and
emerging
markets
risk
The
risk
that
international
investing
(particularly
in
emerging
markets)
may
be
adversely
affected
by
political
instability;
changes
in
currency
exchange
rates;
inefficient
markets
and
higher
transaction
costs;
foreign
economic
conditions;
the
imposition
of
economic
or
trade
sanctions;
or
inadequate
or
different
regulatory
and
accounting
standards.
The
risk
associated
with
international
investing
will
be
greater
in
emerging
markets
than
in
more
developed
foreign
markets
because,
among
other
things,
emerging
markets
may
have
less
stable

political
and
economic
environments.
In
addition,
there
often
is
substantially
less
publicly
available
information
about
issuers
and
such
information
tends
to
be
of
a
lesser
quality.
Economic
markets
and
structures
tend
to
be
less
mature
and
diverse
and
the
securities
markets
may
also
be
smaller,
less
liquid,
and
subject
to
greater
price
volatility. 
Rule
144A
securities
— The
Fund
also
may
invest
in
securities
that
normally
are
purchased
or
resold
pursuant
to
Rule
144A
under
the
Securities
Act
of
1933
(Rule
144A
securities).
Rule
144A
is
designed
to
facilitate
efficient
trading
among
institutional
investors
by
permitting
the
sale
of
certain
unregistered
securities.
Rule
144A
securities
may
be
resold
only
to
qualified
institutional
buyers,
provided
that
certain
other
conditions
for
resale
are
met.
To
the
extent
privately
placed
securities
held
by
a
Fund
qualify
under
Rule
144A
and
an
institutional
market
develops
for
those
securities,
a
Fund
likely
will
be
able
to
dispose
of
the
securities
without
registering
them
under
the
Securities
Act
of
1933.
ETF
Structure
Risks
The
Fund
is
structured
as
an
ETF
and
as
a
result
is
subject
to
special
risks.
Shares
are
not
individually
redeemable
and
may
be
redeemed
by
the
Fund
at

only
in
large
blocks
known
as
“Creation
Units.”
Trading
in
shares
on
the
CBOE
BZX
Exchange,
Inc.
(the
“Exchange”)
may
be
halted
due
to
market
conditions
or
for
reasons
that,
in
the
view
of
the
Exchange,
make
trading
in
Shares
inadvisable,
such
as
extraordinary
market

There
can
be
no
assurance
that
Shares
will
continue
to

agency
basis
is
limited,
which
may
limit
the
market
for
the
Fund’s
shares.
The
market
prices
of
Shares
will
fluctuate
in
response
to
changes
in
NAV
and
supply
and
demand
for
shares
and
will
include
a
“bid-ask
spread”
charged
by
the
exchange
specialists,
market
makers
or
other
participants
that
trade
the
particular
security.
There
may
be
times
when
the
market
price
and
the
NAV
vary
significantly
particularly
during
times
of
market
stress,
with
the
result
that
investors
may
pay
significantly
more
or
significantly
less
for
Fund
shares
than
the
Fund’s
NAV,
which
is
reflected
in
the
bid
and
ask
price
for
Fund
shares
or
in
the
closing
price.
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
NAV,
the
shareholder
may
sustain
losses
if
the
shares
are
sold
at
a
price
that
is
less
than
the
price
paid
by
the
shareholder
for
the
shares.
When
all
or
a
portion
of
an
ETFs
underlying
securities
trade
in
a
market
that
is
closed
when
the
market
for
the
Fund’s
shares
is
open,
there
may
be
changes
from
the
last
quote
of
the
closed
market
and
the
quote
from
the
Fund’s
domestic
trading
day,
which
could
lead
to
differences
between
the
market
value
of
the
Fund’s
shares
and
the
Fund’s
NAV.
In
stressed
market
conditions,
the
market
for
the
Fund’s
shares
may
become
less
liquid
in
response
to
the
deteriorating
liquidity
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
This
adverse
effect
on
the
liquidity
of
the
Fund’s
shares
may,
in
turn,
lead
to
differences
between
the
market
value
of
the
Fund’s
shares
and
the
Fund’s
NAV.

Contractual
Obligations 
The
Fund
enters
into
contracts
in
the
normal
course
of
business
that
contain
a
variety
of
indemnifications.
The
Fund's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown.
However,
the
Fund
has
not
had
prior
claims
or
losses
pursuant
to
these
contracts.
Management
has
reviewed
the
Fund's
existing
contracts
and
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

Subsequent
Events 
Management
has
determined
that
no
material
events
or
transactions
occurred
subsequent

that
would
require
recognition
or
disclosure
in

To
the
Board
of
Trustees
of Macquarie
ETF
Trust and
Shareholders
of
Macquarie
Global
Listed
Infrastructure
ETF
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
schedule
of
investments,
of
Macquarie
Global
Listed
Infrastructure
ETF
(one
of
the
Funds
constituting
Macquarie
ETF
Trust,
referred
to
hereafter
as
the
“Fund”)
as
of
March
31,
2024,
and
the
related
statements
of
operations
and
changes
in
net
assets,
including
the
related
notes,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
period
November
28,
2023
(commencement
of
operations)
through
March
31,
2024
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
March
31,
2024,
and
the
results
of
its
operations,
changes
in
its
net
assets,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
period
November
28,
2023
(commencement
of
operations)
through
March
31,
2024
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audit.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audit
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audit
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audit
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
March
31,
2024
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian.
We
believe
that
our
audit
provides
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

In
providing
information
to
the
Board,
DMC
was
guided
by
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
to
them
by
independent
legal
counsel
on
behalf
of
the
Independent
Trustees
prior
to
the
Contract
Approval
Meeting.
Prior
to
the
Contract
Approval
Meeting,
and
in
response
to
the
requests,
the
Board
received
and
reviewed
materials
specifically
relating
to
the
approval
of
the
Investment
Management
Agreement
and
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement.
In
considering
and
approving
the
Investment
Management
Agreement
and
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement,
the
Trustees
considered
the
information
they
believed
relevant,
including
but
not
limited
to
the
information
discussed
below.
The
Board
did
not
identify
any
particular
information
or
consideration
that
was
all-important
or
controlling,
and
each
individual
Trustee
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
various
factors.
After
its
deliberations,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Trustees,
unanimously
approved
the
Investment
Management
Agreement
and
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
for
an
initial
two-year
term.
The
following
summarizes
a
number
of
important,
but
not
necessarily
all,
factors
considered
by
the
Board
in
support
of
its
approval.
The
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
to
be
provided
by
DMC
and
MIMGL.
The
Board
reviewed
the
services
that
DMC
and
MIMGL
would
provide
to
each
Fund.
In
connection
with
the
investment
advisory
services
to
be
provided,
the
Board
noted
the
responsibilities
that
DMC
would
have
as
the
Funds’
investment
adviser,
including:
the
overall
supervisory
responsibility
for
the
general
management
and
investment
of
each
Fund’s
securities
portfolio;
providing
oversight
of
the
investment
performance
and
processes
and
compliance
with
the
Fund’s
investment
objectives,
policies
and
limitations;
the
implementation
of
the
investment
management
program
of
each
Fund;
the
management
of
the
day-to-day
investment
and
reinvestment
of
the
assets
of
each
Fund;
determining
daily
baskets
of
deposit
securities
and
cash
components;
executing
portfolio
security
trades
for
purchases
and
redemptions
of
Fund
shares
conducted
on
a
cash-in-lieu
basis;
the
review
of
brokerage
matters;
the
oversight
of
general
portfolio
compliance
with
relevant
law;
and
the
implementation
of
Board
directives
as
they
relate
to
the
Funds.
The
Board
reviewed
DMC’s
and
MIMGL’s
experience,
resources
and
strengths
in
managing
other
pooled
investment
vehicles,
including
the
personnel
of
each.
Based
on
its
consideration
and
review
of
the
foregoing
information,
the
Board
determined
that
each
Fund
was
likely
to
benefit
from
the
nature,
quality
and
extent
of
these
services,
as
well
as
the
ability
of
DMC
and
MIMGL
to
render
such
services
based
on
their
experience,
personnel,
operations
and
resources.
Fees,
expenses
and
profitability.
The
Board
compared
both
the
services
to
be
rendered
and
the
proposed
fees
to
be
paid
to
DMC
with
the
fees
that
DMC
receives
pursuant
to
its
other
advisory
agreements,
as
well
as
the
fees
paid
to
other
investment
advisers
with
respect
to
similar
funds.
In
particular,
the
Board
compared
each
Fund’s
proposed
advisory
fee
and
total
expense
ratio
to
other
investment
companies
considered
to
be
in
that
Fund’s
peer
group.
The
Board
also
received
and
considered
information
about
the
fee
rates
charged
to
other
accounts
and
clients
managed
by
DMC,
including
information
about
the
differences
in
services
provided
to
the
non-registered
Board
Consideration
of
Investment
Management
Agreement
and
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
at
a Meeting Held
on
October
23,
2023
(continued)
27
investment
company
clients.
The
Board
also
discussed
the
anticipated
costs
and
projected
profitability
of
DMC
in
connection
with
its
service
as
investment
adviser
to
each
Fund,
including
operational
costs.
In
addition,
the
Board
discussed
the
entrepreneurial
risk
undertaken
by
Management
in
creating
the
Trust.
After
comparing
each
Fund’s
proposed
fees
and
total
expense
ratios
with
those
of
other
funds
in
the
Fund’s
peer
group,
and
in
light
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
proposed
to
be
provided
by
DMC
and
MIMGL
and
the
costs
they
expected
to
incur
in
rendering
those
services,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
level
of
fees
proposed
to
be
paid
to
DMC
with
respect
to
the
Funds
were
fair
and
reasonable.
The
Board
also
considered
that
DMC
and
its
affiliates
may
experience
reputational
“fall-
out”
benefits
based
on
the
success
of
the
Funds,
but
that
such
benefits
are
not
easily
quantifiable.
The
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
would
be
realized
as
the
Funds
grow
and
whether
fee
levels
would
reflect
such
economies
of
scale.
The
Board
next
discussed
potential
economies
of
scale.
Since
the
Trust
is
newly
formed,
the
Trust
and
the
Funds
had
not
commenced
operations,
and
the
eventual
aggregate
amount
of
assets
was
uncertain,
Management
was
not
able
to
provide
the
Board
with
specific
information
concerning
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
would
be
realized
as
each
Fund
grows
and
whether
fee
levels
would
reflect
such
economies
of
scale,
if
any.
The
Board
recognized
the
uncertainty
in
launching
a
new
investment
product
and
estimating
future
asset
levels.
The
Trustees
noted
that
any
reduction
in
fixed
costs
associated
with
the
management
of
the
Funds
would
be
enjoyed
by
DMC,
but
that
a
unitary
advisory
fee
provides
a
level
of
certainty
in
expenses
for
the
Funds.
Investment
performance
of
the
Funds
and
the
Adviser.
Because
each
Fund
is
newly
formed
and
had
not
commenced
operations,
the
Board
did
not
consider
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund
or
the
Adviser.

(Unaudited)
1
Market
review
Macquarie
Energy
Transition
ETF
launched
on
November
28,
2023.
Since
the
Fund's
inception,
global
economies
and
markets
rose
on
the
back
of
strong
economic
data.
Following
aggressive
monetary
tightening
campaigns
by
global
central
banks
during
2022
and
2023,
investors
anticipated
the
US
Federal
Reserve
would
begin
rate
cuts
in
March
2024.
This
led
to
a
rally
in
rate-sensitive
equities,
notably
renewable
energy.
Early
in
2024,
inflation
data
remained
elevated,
leading
to
a
sharp
reversal
of
expectations
for
imminent
rate
cuts
in
2024
and
a
fall
in
rate-
sensitive
equities.
By
late
March,
dovish
commentary
from
the
Fed
indicated
a
high
likelihood
of
rate
cuts
in
2024.
A
strong
rally
in
rate-sensitive
equities
ensued.
Since
inception,
the
MSCI
ACWI
(All
Country
World
Index)
rose
13.81%,
the
S&P
1500
Energy
Sector
Index
gained
13.52%,
the
iShares
Global
Clean
Energy
ETF
fell
0.03%,
and
the
SPDR
®
S&P
®
Metals
&
Mining
ETF
rose
12.21%.
Commodities
were
mixed
since
inception.
Oil
performed
well,
rising
10.62%
as
OPEC
remained
disciplined
and
Saudi
Arabia
pushed
out
long-term
growth
plans.
The
NYMEX
First
Month
3-2-1
refining
crack
spread
rose
22.06%
as
product
inventories
remained
low
and
a
much-anticipated
global
supply
glut
from
new
refineries
in
Mexico
and
Nigeria
failed
to
materialize.
Copper
rose
5.38%
on
significant
supply
issues
caused
by
inflation
and
geopolitics.
Natural
gas

Hudbay
Minerals
Inc.
was
among
the
Fund's
largest
contributors
to
performance
since
inception.
Hudbay
is
a
copper
and
gold
miner
with
a
portfolio
of
high-grade
mines
in
lower-risk
jurisdictions.
The
company
reported
strong
fourth
quarter
2023
production
results
led
by
its
assets
in
Peru
and
Manitoba.
Global
copper
supply
concerns
continued
to
provide
a
substantial
macroeconomic
tailwind.
Hudbay
remains
a
core
holding
in
the
Fund
as
it
continues
to
delever
its
balance
sheet
and
boasts
a
portfolio
of
strong
green
and
brownfield
copper
and
gold
projects.
Ero
Copper
Corp.
was
also
among
the
Fund's
largest
contributors
to
performance.
Ero
is
a
Brazilian
copper
and
gold
miner
with
an
attractive
near-term
growth
profile.
The
company
is
on
the
verge
of
completing
a
substantial
investment
cycle,
which
will
bring
copper
production
into
a
market
that
is
in
deficit.
We
expect
that
the
company
will
use
free
cash
flow
to
delever
its
balance
sheet
before
embarking
on
a
shareholder
return
program.
With
attractive
assets
in
a
low-risk
jurisdiction,
we
believe
the
outlook
for
Ero
remains
favorable.
SunRun
Inc.
,
a
residential
solar
installer
and
financer,
was
among
the
largest
detractors
from
performance.
Despite
strong
fourth
quarter
2023
results,
the
company
embarked
on
a
dilutive
convertible
debenture
financing
during
the
first
quarter
of
2024.
Given
the
liquidity
concerns
that
continue
to
permeate
through
the
solar
industry,
this
dilutive
offering
concerned
investors.
We
believe
SunRun,
as
the
largest
and
strongest
independent
participant,
will
be
able
to
capitalize
on
the
currently
distressed
residential
solar
environment.
Rare
earth
metals,
notably
the
magnetics
neodymium
and
praseodymium
(NdPr),
came
under
considerable
pressure
as
Chinese
producers
ramped
up
supply
and
the
pace
of
EV
deployment
came
into
question
globally.
MP
Materials
Corp.
produces
NdPr
from
one
of
the
highest-grade
rare-earth
mines
in
the
world,
Mountain
Pass,
California.
The
company
is
further
integrating
downstream
through
the
construction
of
a
magnetics
facility
in
Fort
Worth,
Texas.
Given
the
importance
of
magnetics
from
a
US
national
defense
standpoint
and
their
importance
in
a
litany
of
sectors
from
HVACs
to
robotics,
we
believe
MP
to
be
a
strategic
asset
and
a
core
holding.
As
NdPr
prices
are
now
below
cash
costs
in
China,
we
believe
currently
depressed
prices
are
unsustainable
and
likely
to
rebound.

A
crack
spread
,
mentioned
on
page

the
difference
between
the
purchase
price
of
crude
oil
and
the
selling
price
of
finished
products,
such
as
gasoline
and
distillate
fuel,
that
a
refinery
produces
from
the
crude
oil.
Crack
spreads
are
an
indicator
of
the
short-term
profit
margin
of
oil
refineries
because
they
compare
the
cost
of
the
crude
oil
inputs
to
the
wholesale,
or
spot,
prices
of
the
outputs
(although
they
do
not
include
other
variable
costs
or
any
fixed
costs).
The
3:2:1
crack
spread
approximates
the
product
yield
at
a
typical
US
refinery:
for
every
three
barrels
of
crude
oil
the
refinery
processes,
it
makes
two
barrels
of
gasoline
and
one
barrel
of
distillate
fuel.
A
brownfield
investment
,
mentioned
on
page
2,
is
when
a
company
or
government
entity
purchases
or
leases
existing
production
facilities
to
launch
a
new
production
activity.
This
is
one
strategy
used
in
foreign
direct
investment.
The
alternative
to
this
is
a
greenfield
investment
,
mentioned
on
page
2,
in
which
a
new
plant
is
constructed.
The
term
comes
from
the
fact
that
the
company
is
launching
a
venture
from
the
ground
up
plowing
and
prepping
a
“green
field.”
These

As
a
shareholder
of
the
Fund,
you
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
brokerage
commissions
on
purchases
and
sales
of
your
ETF
shares,
reinvested
dividends,
or
other
distributions;
and
exchange
fees;
and
(2)
ongoing
costs,
including
management
fees; and
other
Fund
expenses.
This
example
is
intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars)
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
other
funds.
The
example
is
based
on
an
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
period
and
held
for
the period
from
November
28,
2023*
to March
31,
2024.
Actual
expenses 
The
first
section
of
the
table
shown,
“Actual
Fund
return,”
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
You
may
use
the
information
in
this
section
of
the
table,
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
section
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
section
of
the
table
shown,
“Hypothetical
5%
return,”
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
on
purchases
and
sales
of
your
ETF
shares,
or
exchange
fees.
Therefore,
the
second
section
of
the
table
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
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.
The
Fund's
expenses
shown
in
the
table assume
reinvestment
of
all
dividends
and
distributions.

Macquarie
ETF
Trust
(Trust)
is
organized
as
a
Delaware
statutory
trust
effective
February
22,
2023
and
is
an
open-end
management
investment
company
registered
with
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission.
As
of
the
date
of
this
report,
the
Trust
offers
three
series.
These
financial
statements
and
the
related
notes
pertain
to
Macquarie
Energy
Transition
ETF (the
Fund).
The
Fund
commenced
operations
on
November
28,
2023
.
The
Fund
is
considered
diversified
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(1940
Act).
1.
Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
Fund
follows
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
under
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
Topic
946,
Financial
Services
Investment
Companies.
The
following
accounting
policies
are
in
accordance
with
US
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
(US
GAAP)
and
are
consistently
followed
by
the
Fund.
Security
Valuation
Equity
securities,
except
those
traded
on
the
Nasdaq
Stock
Market
LLC
(Nasdaq),
are
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sales
price
as
of
the
time
of
the
regular
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
on
the
valuation
date.
Equity
securities
traded
on
the
Nasdaq
are
valued
in
accordance
with
the
Nasdaq
Official
Closing
Price,
which
may
not
be
the
last
sales
price.
If,
on
a
particular
day,
an
equity
security
does
not
trade,
the
mean
between
the
bid
and
the
ask
prices
will
be
used,
which
approximates
fair
value.
Equity
securities
listed
on
a
foreign
exchange
are
normally
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sales
price
on
the
valuation
date.
Open-end
investment
companies
are
valued
at
their
published
net
asset
value
(NAV). Generally,
other
securities
and
assets
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
by
Delaware
Management
Company
(DMC
or
the
Manager).
Subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Trust's
Board
of
Trustees
(Board),
DMC,
as
valuation
designee,
has
adopted
policies
and
procedures
to
fair
value
securities
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
consistent
with
the
requirements
of
Rule
2a-5
under
the
1940
Act.
In
determining
whether
market
quotations
are
readily
available
or
fair
valuation
will
be
used,
various
factors
will
be
taken
into
consideration,
such
as
market
closures
or
suspension
of
trading
in
a
security.
Restricted
securities
and
private
placements
are
valued
at
fair
value.
Federal
Income
Taxes
No
provision
for
federal
income
taxes
has
been
made
as the
Fund
intends
to
qualify
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
and
make
the
requisite
distributions
to
shareholders.
The
Fund
evaluates
tax
positions
taken
or
expected
to
be
taken
in
the
course
of
preparing
the
Fund's
tax
returns
to
determine
whether
the
tax
positions
are
“more-likely-than-not”
of
being
sustained
by
the
applicable
tax
authority.
Tax
positions
not
deemed
to
meet
the
“more-likely-than-not”
threshold
are
recorded
as
a
tax
benefit
or
expense
in
the
current
period.
Management
has
analyzed the
Fund’s
tax
positions
taken
or
expected
to
be
taken
on the
Fund’s
federal
income
tax
returns
through
the period ended
March
31,
2024
,
and
has
concluded
that
no
provision
for
federal
income
tax
is
required
in
the
Fund’s
financial
statements.
If
applicable, the
Fund
recognizes
interest
accrued
on
unrecognized
tax
benefits
in
interest
expense
and
penalties
in
“Other”
on
the
“Statement
of
operations.”
During
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
incur
any
interest
or
tax
penalties.

Foreign
Currency
Transactions
Transactions
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
recorded
at
the
prevailing
exchange
rates
on
the
valuation
date.
The
value
of
all
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
is
translated
daily
into
US
dollars
at
the
exchange
rate
of
such
currencies
against
the
US
dollar.
Transaction
gains
or
losses
resulting
from
changes
in
exchange
rates
during
the
reporting
period
or
upon
settlement
of
the
foreign
currency
transaction
are
reported
in
operations
for
the
current
period.
The
Fund
generally
does
not
bifurcate
that
portion
of
realized
gains
and
losses
on
investments
which
is
due
to
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
that
which
is
due
to
changes
in
market
prices.
These
realized
gains
and
losses
are
included
on
the
“Statement
of
operations”
under
“Net
realized
gain
(loss)
on
investments.”  The
Fund
reports
certain
foreign
currency
related
transactions
as
components
of
realized
gains
(losses)
for
financial
reporting
purposes,
whereas
such
components
are
treated
as
ordinary
income
(loss)
for
federal
income
tax
purposes. 
In-kind
Redemptions 
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
in-kind
redemptions
are
treated
as
sales
of
securities
resulting
in
realized
capital
gains
or
losses
to
the
Fund.
Because
such
gains
or
losses
are
not
taxable
to
the
Fund
and
are
not
distributed
to
existing
Fund
shareholders,
the
gains
or
losses
are
reclassified
from
accumulated
net
realized
gain
(loss)
to
paid-in
capital
at
the
end
of
the
Fund’s
tax
year.
These
reclassifications
have
no
effect
on
net
assets
NAV
per
share.
Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
conformity
with
US
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
fair
value
of
investments,
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
and
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements,
and
the
reported
amounts
of
revenues
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates
and
the
differences
could
be
material.
Other
Security
transactions
are
recorded
on
the
date
the
securities
are
purchased
or
sold
(trade
date)
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Costs
used
in
calculating
realized
gains
and
losses
on
the
sale
of
investment
securities
are
those
of
the
specific
securities
sold.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
and
interest
income
is
recorded
on
an
accrual
basis.
Foreign
dividends
are
also
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
or
as
soon
after
the
ex-dividend
date
that
the
Fund
is
aware
of
such
dividends,
net
of
all
tax
withholdings,
a
portion
of
which
may
be
reclaimable.
Withholding
taxes
and
reclaims
on
foreign
dividends
have
been
recorded
in
accordance
with
the
Fund's
understanding
of
the
applicable
country’s
tax
rules
and
rates.
The
Fund
files
withholding
tax
reclaims
in
certain
jurisdictions
to
recover
a
portion
of
amounts
previously
withheld.
The
Fund
may
record
a
reclaim
receivable
based
on
collectability,
which
includes
factors
such
as
the
jurisdiction’s
applicable
laws,
payment
history
and
market
convention.
The
"Statement
of
operations"
includes
tax
reclaims
recorded
as
well
as
professional
and
other
fees,
if
any,
associated
with
recovery
of
foreign
withholding
taxes. Income
and
capital
gain
distributions
from
any

companies
(Underlying

in
which

Investment
Management,
Administration
Agreements,
and
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates 
In
accordance
with
the
terms
of
its

the
Fund
pays
DMC,
a
series
of
Macquarie
Investment
Management
Business
Trust
and
the
investment
manager,
an
annual
unitary

which
is
calculated
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
the
rate
of
0.79%
on
the
Fund's
average
daily

From
the
unitary
management
fees,
DMC
pays
most
of
the
expenses
of
the
Fund,

the
cost
of
sub-advisory
fees
to
any
investment
sub-adviser,
transfer
agency,

and
other

agreement,
DMC
is
not
responsible
for
(i)
interest
expenses;
(ii)
taxes
(including,
but
not

Pursuant
to
the
terms
of
the
sub-advisory
agreement,
the
investment
sub-advisory
fee
is
paid
by
DMC
to
the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisor
based
on
the
extent
to
which
the

directly
owned
95.10%
of
the

The
amount
of
these

Investments
For
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024
,
the
Fund
made
purchases
and
sales
of
investment
securities
other
than
short-term
investments
and
US
government
securities as
follows: 
For
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024,
investment
transactions
related
to
in-kind
purchases
and
sales
were
as
follows:
The
tax
cost
of
investments
includes
adjustments
to
net
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
which
may
not
necessarily
be
the
final
tax
cost
basis
adjustments
but
which
approximate
the
tax
basis
unrealized
gains
and
losses
that
may
be
realized
and
distributed
to
shareholders.
At
March
31,
2024
,
the
cost
and
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
of
investments
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
for
the
Fund
were
as
follows: 
US
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
that
the
Fund
would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date
under
current
market
conditions.
A
three-level
hierarchy
for
fair
value
measurements
has
been
established
based
upon
the
transparency
of
inputs
to
the
valuation
of
an
asset
or
liability.
Inputs
may
be
observable
or
unobservable
and
refer
broadly
to
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability.
Observable
inputs
reflect
the
assumptions
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability
based
on
market
data
obtained
from
sources
independent
of
the
reporting
entity.
Unobservable
inputs
reflect
the
reporting
entity’s
own
assumptions
about
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability
based
on
the
best
information
available
under
the
circumstances.
The
Fund's
investment
in
its
entirety
is
assigned
a
level
based
upon
the
observability
of
the
inputs
which
are
significant
to
the
overall
valuation.
The
three-level
hierarchy
of
inputs
is
summarized
as
follows:
Level
 1
Inputs
are
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
investments.

equity
securities,
open-end
investment

Level
 2 —
Other
observable
inputs,
including,
but
not
limited
to:
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
active,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
assets
or
liabilities
in
markets
that
are
not
active,
inputs
other
than
quoted
prices
that
are
observable
for
the
assets
or
liabilities
(such
as
interest
rates,
yield
curves,
volatilities,
prepayment
speeds,
loss
severities,
credit
risks,
and
default
rates)
or
other
market-corroborated
inputs.
(Examples:
debt
securities,
government
securities,
swap
contracts,
forward
foreign currency
exchange
contracts,
foreign
securities
utilizing
international
fair
value
pricing,
broker-quoted
securities,
and
fair
valued
securities)
Level
 3 — Significant
unobservable
inputs,
including
the
Fund's
own
assumptions
used
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
investments.
(Examples:
broker-quoted
securities
and
fair
valued
securities)
Level
3
investments
are
valued
using
significant
unobservable
inputs.
The
Fund
may
also
use
an
income-based
valuation
approach
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Valuations
may
also
be
based
upon
current
market
prices
of
securities
that
are
comparable
in
coupon,
rating,
maturity,
and
industry.
The
derived
value
of
a
Level
3
investment
may
not
represent
the
value
which
is
received
upon
disposition
and
this
could
impact
the
results
of
operations.
The
following
table
summarizes
the
valuation
of
the
Fund's
investments
by
fair
value
hierarchy
levels
as
of
March
31,
2024
:
During
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024
,
there
were
no
transfers

The

based
on

value
at
the
beginning
of
the

Dividend
and
Distribution
Information 
Income
and
long-term
capital
gain
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
US
GAAP. Additionally,
distributions
from
net
gains
on
foreign
currency
transactions
and
net
short-term
gains
on
sales
of
investment
securities
are
treated
as
ordinary
income
for
federal
income
tax
purposes.
The
tax
character
of
dividends
and
distributions
paid
during
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024
were
as
follows:

Components
of
Net
Assets
on
a
Tax
Basis 
As
of
March
31,
2024,
the
components
of
net
assets
on
a
tax
basis
were
as
follows: 
The
differences
between
book
basis
and
tax
basis
components
of
net
assets
are
primarily
attributable
to
tax
deferral
of
losses
on
wash
sales
and
investments
in
passive
foreign
investment
companies.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
capital
accounts
are
adjusted
to
reflect
the
tax
character
of
permanent
book/tax
differences.
Results
of
operations
and
net
assets
were
not
affected
by
these
reclassifications.
For
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024
,
the
Fund
had
no
reclassifications.
For
federal
income
tax
purposes,
capital
loss
carryforwards
may
be
carried
forward
and
applied
against
future
capital
gains.
At
March

aggregated
into
blocks
of
25,000
shares
or
multiples
thereof
(“Creation
Units”) to
Authorized
Participants
who
have
entered
into
agreements
with
the
Fund's
Distributor.
An
Authorized
Participant
is
either
(1)
a
“Participating
Party,”
(i.e.,
a
broker-
dealer
or
other
participant
in
the
clearing
process
of
the

with
the
Distributor
with
respect
to

in
return
for
a
basket
of
assets
that
the
Fund
specifies
each
day.
Shares
are
listed
on
the
NYSE
Arca,
Inc.
exchange
and
are
publicly
traded.
If
an
investor
buys
or
sells
Fund

on
the
secondary
market,
the
investor
will
pay
or
receive
the
market
price,
which
may
be
higher
or
lower

Certain
Principal
Risks
of
the
Fund
Sustainability
risk
Investing
with
a
focus
on
companies
that
exhibit
a
commitment
to
sustainable
practices
may
result
in
the
Fund
investing
in
certain
types
of
companies,
industries
or
sectors
that
the
market
may
not
favor.
The
securities
of
such
companies
may
underperform
the
stock
market
as
a
whole
and
the
criteria
used
to
select
companies
for
investment
may
result
in
the
Fund
investing
in
securities
that
underperform
securities
of
companies
that
do
not
exhibit
such
a
commitment
to
sustainability.
Energy
sector
risk
Companies
engaged
in
the
transportation,
storage,
processing,
refining,
marketing,
exploration,
production,
and
mining
of
minerals
and
natural
resources
are
subject
to
many
risks
that
can
negatively
impact
the
revenues
and
viability
of
companies
in
this
sector.
These
risks
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
commodity
price
volatility
risk,
supply
and
demand
risk,
reserve
and
depletion
risk,
operations
risk,
regulatory
risk,
environmental
risk,
terrorism
risk
and
the
risk
of
natural
disasters.
For
example,
the
price
of
energy
securities
may
fluctuate
due
to
real
and
perceived
inflationary
trends
and
the
(often
rapid)
changes
in
supply
of,
or
demand
for,
various
natural
resources;
both
domestic
and
international
political
and
economic
developments;

regulations;
changes
in
methods
for
conserving
energy;
environmental
incidents;
and
the
uncertain
success
rates
for
exploration
projects. 
Materials
sector
risk
Companies
engaged
in
the
production
and
distribution
of
materials
may
be
adversely
affected
by
changes
in
world
events,
political
and
economic
conditions,
energy
conservation,
environmental
policies,
commodity
price
volatility,
changes
in
exchange
rates,
imposition
of
import
controls,
increased
competition,
depletion
of
resources
and
labor
relations. 
Industrial
sector
risk
The
value
of
securities
issued
by
companies
in
the
industrial
sector
may
be
adversely
affected
by
supply
and
demand
changes
related
to
their
specific
products
or
services
and
industrial
sector
products
in
general.
The
products
of
manufacturing
companies
may
face
obsolescence
due
to
rapid
technological
developments
and
frequent
new
product
introduction.
Global
events,
trade
disputes
and
changes
in
government
regulations,
economic
conditions
and
exchange
rates
may
adversely
affect
the
performance
of
companies
in
the
industrial
sector.
Companies
in
this
sector
may
be
adversely
affected
by
product
liability
claims.
The
sector
may
also
be
adversely
affected
by
changes
or
trends
in
commodity
prices,
which
may
be
influenced
by
unpredictable
factors. 
Renewable
energy
sector
risk
Securities
of
companies
in
the
renewable
energy
sector
are
subject
to
swift
price
and
supply
fluctuations
caused
by
events
relating
to
international
events,
taxes
and
other
governmental
regulatory
policies.
Weak
demand
for
renewable
energy
products
and
services
in
general
may
adversely
affect
companies
in
this
sector.
Obsolescence
of
existing
technology,
short
product
cycles,
falling
prices,
competition
from
new
market
entrants
and
general
economic
conditions
can
significantly
affect
the
renewable
energy
sector. 
Utilities
sector
risk
— Companies
in
the
utilities
sector
are
subject
to
certain
risks,
including
risks
associated
with
government
regulation,
interest
rate
changes,
financing
difficulties,
supply
and
demand
for
services
or
products,
intense
competition,
natural
resource
conservation
and
commodity
price
fluctuations. 
ETF
Structure
Risks
The
Fund
is
structured
as
an
ETF
and
as
a
result
is
subject
to
special
risks.
Shares
are
not
individually
redeemable
and
may
be
redeemed
by
the
Fund
at

only
in
large
blocks
known
as
“Creation
Units.”
Trading
in
shares
on
the
CBOE
BZX
Exchange,
Inc.
(the
“Exchange”)
may
be
halted
due
to
market
conditions
or
for
reasons
that,
in
the
view
of
the
Exchange,
make
trading
in
Shares
inadvisable,
such
as
extraordinary
market
volatility.
There
can
be
no
assurance
that
Shares
will
continue
to
meet
the
listing
requirements
of
the
Exchange.
An
active
trading
market
for
the
Fund’s
shares
may
not
be
developed
or
maintained.
If
the
Fund’s
shares
are
traded
outside
a
collateralized
settlement
system,
the
number
of
financial
institutions
that
can
act
as
authorized
participants
that
can
post
collateral
on
an
agency
basis
is
limited,
which
may
limit
the
market
for
the
Fund’s
shares.
The
market
prices
of
Shares
will
fluctuate
in
response
to
changes
in
NAV
and
supply
and
demand
for
shares
and
will
include
a
“bid-ask
spread”
charged
by
the
exchange
specialists,
market
makers
or
other
participants
that
trade
the
particular
security.
There
may
be
times
when
the
market
price
and
the
NAV
vary
significantly
particularly
during
times

Certain
Principal
Risks
of

with
the
result
that
investors
may
pay
significantly
more
or
significantly
less

the
Fund’s
NAV,
which
is
reflected
in
the

a
premium
to
the
NAV
or
sells
shares
at
a
time
when

to
NAV,
the
shareholder
may
sustain

price
that
is
less
than
the
price
paid
by
the

In
stressed
market
conditions,
the
market
for
the
Fund’s
shares
may
become
less
liquid
in
response
to
the
deteriorating
liquidity
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
This
adverse
effect
on
the
liquidity
of
the
Fund’s
shares
may,
in
turn,
lead
to
differences
between
the
market
value
of
the
Fund’s
shares
and
the
Fund’s
NAV.
Risk
is
increased
in
a
concentrated
portfolio
since
it
holds
a
limited
number
of
securities
with
each
investment
having
a
greater
effect
on
the
overall
performance.

Contractual
Obligations 
The
Fund
enters
into
contracts
in
the
normal
course
of
business
that
contain
a
variety
of
indemnifications.
The
Fund's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown.
However,
the
Fund
has
not
had
prior
claims
or
losses
pursuant
to
these
contracts.
Management
has
reviewed
the
Fund's
existing
contracts
and
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.
9.
Subsequent
Events 
Management
has
determined
that
no
material
events
or
transactions
occurred
subsequent
to
March
31,
2024
,
that
would
require
recognition
or
disclosure
in
the
Fund's
financial
statements.

ETF
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
schedule
of
investments,
of
Macquarie
Energy
Transition
ETF
(one
of
the
Funds
constituting
Macquarie
ETF
Trust,
referred
to
hereafter
as
the
“Fund”)
as
of
March
31,
2024,
and
the
related
statements
of
operations
and
changes
in
net
assets,
including
the
related
notes,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
period
November
28,
2023
(commencement
of
operations)
through
March
31,
2024
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
March
31,
2024,
and
the
results
of
its
operations,
changes
in
its
net
assets,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
period
November
28,
2023
(commencement
of
operations)
through
March
31,
2024
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion 
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audit.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audit
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audit
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audit
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
March
31,
2024
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian.
We
believe
that
our
audit
provides
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

At
a
meeting
held
on
October
23,
2023
(the
“Contract
Approval
Meeting”),
the
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”),
including
a
majority
of
Trustees
each
of
whom
is
not
an
“interested
person”
as
defined
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“Independent

of
the
Macquarie

on

Prior
to
the
Contract
Approval
Meeting,
the
Independent
Trustees
were
assisted
in
their
evaluation
of
the
Investment
Management
Agreement
and
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
by
independent
legal
counsel,
from
whom
they
received
separate
legal
advice
and
with
whom
they
met
separately.
In
providing
information
to
the
Board,
DMC
was
guided
by
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
to
them
by
independent
legal
counsel
on
behalf
of
the
Independent
Trustees
prior
to
the
Contract
Approval
Meeting.
Prior
to
the
Contract

and
in
response
to
the

the
Board
received

to
the
approval
of
the
Investment
Management
Agreement
and
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement.
In
considering
and
approving
the
Investment
Management
Agreement
and
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement,
the
Trustees
considered
the
information
they
believed
relevant,
including
but
not
limited
to
the
information
discussed
below.
The
Board
did
not
identify
any
particular
information
or
consideration
that
was
all-important
or
controlling,
and
each
individual
Trustee
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
various
factors.
After
its
deliberations,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Trustees,
unanimously
approved
the
Investment
Management
Agreement
and
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
for
an
initial
two-year
term.
The
following
summarizes
a
number
of
important,
but
not
necessarily
all,
factors
considered
by
the
Board
in
support
of
its
approval.
The
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
to
be
provided
by
DMC
and
MIMGL.
The
Board
reviewed
the
services
that
DMC
and
MIMGL
would
provide
to
each
Fund.
In
connection
with
the
investment
advisory
services
to
be
provided,
the
Board
noted
the
responsibilities
that
DMC
would
have
as
the
Funds’
investment
adviser,
including:
the
overall
supervisory
responsibility
for
the
general
management
and
investment
of
each
Fund’s
securities
portfolio;
providing
oversight
of
the
investment
performance
and
processes
and
compliance
with
the
Fund’s
investment
objectives,
policies
and
limitations;
the
implementation
of
the
investment
management
program
of
each
Fund;
the
management
of
the
day-to-day
investment
and
reinvestment
of
the
assets
of
each
Fund;
determining
daily
baskets
of
deposit
securities
and
cash
components;
executing
portfolio
security
trades
for
purchases
and
redemptions
of
Fund
shares
conducted
on
a
cash-in-lieu
basis;
the
review
of
brokerage
matters;
the
oversight
of
general
portfolio
compliance
with
relevant
law;
and
the
implementation
of
Board
directives
as
they
relate
to
the
Funds.
The
Board
reviewed
DMC’s
and
MIMGL’s
experience,
resources
and
strengths
in
managing
other
pooled
investment
vehicles,
including
the
personnel
of
each.
Based
on
its
consideration
and
review
of
the
foregoing
information,
the
Board
determined
that
each
Fund
was
likely
to
benefit
from
the
nature,
quality
and
extent
of
these
services,
as
well
as
the
ability
of
DMC
and
MIMGL
to
render
such
services
based
on
their
experience,
personnel,
operations
and
resources.
Fees,
expenses
and
profitability.
The
Board
compared
both
the
services
to
be
rendered
and
the
proposed
fees
to
be
paid
to
DMC
with
the
fees
that
DMC
receives
pursuant
to
its
other
advisory
agreements,
as
well
as
the
fees
paid
to
other
investment
advisers
with
respect
to
similar
funds.
In
particular,
the
Board
compared
each
Fund’s
proposed
advisory
fee
and
total
expense
ratio
to
other
investment
companies
considered
to
be
in
that
Fund’s
peer
group.
The
Board
also
received
and
considered
information
about
the
fee
rates
charged
to
other
accounts
and
clients
managed
by
DMC,
including
information
about
the
differences
in
services
provided
to
the
non-registered
investment
company
clients.
The
Board
also
discussed
the
anticipated
costs
and
projected
profitability
of
DMC
in
connection
with
its
service
as
investment
adviser
to
each
Fund,
including
operational
costs.
In
addition,
the
Board
discussed
the
entrepreneurial
risk
undertaken
by
Management
in
creating
the
Trust.
After
comparing
each
Fund’s
proposed
fees
and
total
expense

ratios
with
those
of
other
funds
in
the
Fund’s
peer
group,
and
in
light
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
proposed
to
be
provided
by
DMC
and
MIMGL
and
the
costs
they
expected
to
incur
in
rendering
those
services,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
level
of
fees
proposed
to
be
paid
to
DMC
with
respect
to
the
Funds
were
fair
and
reasonable.
The
Board
also
considered
that
DMC
and
its
affiliates
may
experience
reputational
“fall-
out”
benefits
based
on
the
success
of
the
Funds,
but
that
such
benefits
are
not
easily
quantifiable.
The
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
would
be
realized
as
the
Funds
grow
and
whether
fee
levels
would
reflect
such
economies
of
scale.
The
Board
next
discussed
potential
economies
of
scale.
Since
the
Trust
is
newly
formed,
the
Trust
and
the
Funds
had
not
commenced
operations,
and
the
eventual
aggregate
amount
of
assets
was
uncertain,
Management
was
not
able
to
provide
the
Board
with
specific
information
concerning
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
would
be
realized
as
each
Fund
grows
and
whether
fee
levels
would
reflect
such
economies
of
scale,
if
any.
The
Board
recognized
the
uncertainty
in
launching
a
new
investment
product
and
estimating
future
asset
levels.
The
Trustees
noted
that
any
reduction
in
fixed
costs
associated
with
the
management
of
the
Funds
would
be
enjoyed
by
DMC,
but
that
a
unitary
advisory
fee
provides
a
level
of
certainty
in
expenses
for
the
Funds.
Investment
performance
of
the
Funds
and
the
Adviser.
Because
each
Fund
is
newly
formed
and
had
not
commenced
operations,
the
Board
did
not
consider
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund
or
the
Adviser.

Market
review
For
the
period
from
the
Fund's
inception
on
November
28,
2023,
to
March
31,
2024,
the
US
economy
exceeded
expectations.
In
the
final
quarter
of
2023,
gross
domestic
product
(GDP)
expanded
an
estimated
3.4%,
marking
the
sixth-consecutive
quarter
of
growth.
That
followed
a
notable
4.9%
GDP
increase
in
the
previous
quarter
the
highest
in
almost
two
years.
Additionally,
the
country’s
employment
picture
showed
resilience.
In
March
2024,
the
unemployment
rate
was
3.8%,
just
slightly
higher
than
the
3.7%
rate
posted
in
November
2023
and
still
near
historic
lows.
During
the
fiscal
period,
the
US
inflation
rate,
as
measured
by
the
Consumer
Price
Index
(CPI),
increased
to
3.5%
in
March
2024,
slightly
up
from
3.4%
in
November
2023.
Despite
significant
progress
in
reducing
inflation,
the
recent
uptick
unsettled
fixed
income
investors
who
looked
forward
to
future
rate
cuts.
After
a
series
of
four
quarter-point
(0.25%)
increases
in
the
first
seven
months
of
2023,
the
US
Federal
Reserve
seemed
ready
to
lower
rates,
fueling
a
municipal-bond
market
rally
in
late
2023.
But
as
inflation
proved
more
persistent
than
expected,
confidence
in
the
Fed’s
willingness
to
reduce
rates
in
2024
diminished,
weighing
on
fixed
income
markets.
Throughout
the
fiscal
period,
the
federal
funds
rate
remained
in
a
range
of
5.25-5.50%,
a
significant
increase
from
the 
previous
year.

Within
the
Fund
For
the
period
from its
inception
on
November
28,
2023,
to
March
31,
2024,
Macquarie
Tax-Free
USA
Short
Term
ETF
outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
Bloomberg
Municipal
Short
(1-5
Year)
Index.
The
Fund
gained
1.56%
at
net
asset
value
(NAV)
and
advanced
1.76%
at
market
price.
For
the
same
period,
the
benchmark
gained
1.14%.
In
the
first
quarter
of
2024,
which
covers
most
of
the
reporting
period,
the
US
municipal
bond
market
experienced
a
slight
negative
return.
As
the
new
year
commenced,
investor
attention
shifted
to
inflation
and
the
Fed’s
monetary
policies.
After
a
strong
market
rally
at
the
end
of
2023,
the
focus
was
not
on
if
but
when
the
Fed
would
begin
lowering
interest
rates.
However,
as
the
quarter
advanced,
persistent
inflation
negated
some
of
the
strong
gains
municipal
securities
made
in
the
final
quarter
of
the
previous
year.

positive
mutual
fund
flows
acted
as
a
supporting
force,
leading
BBB-rated
and
high
yield
municipal
bonds
to
outperform
higher-rated
bonds
during
the
period.
In
this
context,
bonds
with
longer
maturities
generally
performed
better
than
their
shorter-term
counterparts.
Meanwhile,
bonds
rated
as
lower-investment-grade
(A
and
BBB)
surpassed
higher-
quality
issues
(AAA
and
AA),
while
high
yield
municipal
debt
(rated
below
BBB)
also
saw
relatively
robust
results.
The
following
tables
show
municipal
bond
returns
by
maturity
length
and
by
credit
quality
for
the

the
Fund’s
inception
date
to

end
of
its
fiscal
period
on
March
31,
2024.

Bloomberg.
Throughout
the
reporting
period,
our
management
approach
remained
consistent,
regardless
of
the
underlying
economic
and
market
backdrop.
In
following
our
bottom-up
(bond
by
bond)
investment
strategy,
we
engage
in
thorough
credit
research
as
we
choose
municipal
securities
for
the
portfolio
on
an
issuer-by-issuer
basis.
Our
focus
is
on
tax-exempt
bonds
that
offer
shareholders
what
we
see
as
a
favorable
balance
between
risk
and
return
potential.
Because
we
have
significant
confidence
in
our
team’s
credit-research
capabilities,
we
routinely
look
for
lower-rated
bonds
with
strong
credit
fundamentals
when
seeking
new
investments
to
add
to
the
Fund.
In
our
opinion,
such
securities
offer
an
opportunity
for
us
to
add
value
for
the
Fund's
shareholders.
Accordingly,
at
the
close
of
the
fiscal
period
ended
March
31,
2024,
approximately
41%
of
the
Fund's
assets
were
invested
in
bonds
with
credit
ratings
of
A
and
BBB.
However,
because
the
short-term
municipal
bond
market
tends
to
be
dominated
by
higher-rated
issues,
most
of
the
Fund
was
invested
in
AAA-rated
and,
especially,
AA-rated
bonds.
Upon
the
launch
of
this
Fund
in
late
November,
our
most
immediate
priority
was
to
fully
invest
its
assets.
At
the
time,
the
yield
curve
was
relatively
flat
in
our
short-term
investment
universe.
Because
this
meant
we
had
few
opportunities
to
add
value
through
yield-curve
positioning,
we
invested
assets
relatively
evenly
across
the
curve.

We
sought
to
add
value
for
our
shareholders
primarily
through
credit
allocation.
As
we
mentioned,
issuance
in
lower-investment-grade
credit
tiers
tends
to
be
relatively
limited
on
the
short
end
of
the
yield
curve.
However,
we
took
advantage
of
as
many
BBB-rated
and
A-rated
investment
opportunities
meeting
our
credit
criteria
as
we
could.
Because
the
Fund
was
launched
in
the
middle
of
a
steep
fixed
income
rally,
especially
on
the
long
end
of
the
curve,
we
were
well
positioned
to
initiate
new
short-term
investments.
To
finance
the
purchase
of
longer-maturity
bonds,
many
market
participants
were
eager
to
sell
their
shorter-
term
bonds.
This
trend
provided
us
with
a
good
selection
of
bonds
to
purchase
at
prices
we
found
favorable,
and
we
eagerly
took
advantage
of
available
opportunities
to
do
so.
As
discussed,
during
this
reporting
period,
longer-duration
bonds
within
our
investment
universe
tended
to
outperform
their
counterparts
with
less
sensitivity
to
interest
rates,
while
lower-rated
bonds
generally
outpaced
higher-rated
ones.
Accordingly,
our
top-
and
bottom-performing
securities
over
the
roughly
four-month
period
reflected
these
performance
trends.
For
example,
the
Fund's
strongest-performing
securities
were
Colorado-issued
bonds
for
CommonSpirit
Health
,
a
national
healthcare
hospital
chain.
These
securities
benefited
from
longer
duration
and,
to
a
lesser
extent,
a
lower-investment-grade
credit
rating.
Similarly,
Arizona-
issued
diversified
charter
school
bonds
for
the
Equitable
School
Revolving
Fund
also
added
value,
similarly
benefiting
from
relatively
longer
duration
and
a
degree
of
credit-spread
tightening.
Even
the
Fund's
weakest-performing
bonds
were
able
to
produce
a
small
positive
return
in
this
brief
reporting
period.
For
example,
the
Fund's
two
lowest-returning
investments
were
general
obligation
bonds
of
the
Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania
and
New
York
City
water/sewer
debt.
In
both
cases,
the
bonds
posted
small
gains
reflecting
their
shorter
durations.

As
a
shareholder
of
the
Fund,
you
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
brokerage
commissions
on
purchases
and
sales
of
your
ETF
shares,
reinvested
dividends,
or
other
distributions;
and
exchange
fees;
and
(2)
ongoing
costs,
including
management
fees; and
other
Fund
expenses.
This
example
is
intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars)
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
other
funds.
The
example
is
based
on
an
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
period
and
held
for
the period
from
November
28,
2023*
to March
31,
2024.
Actual
expenses 
The
first
section
of
the
table
shown,
“Actual
Fund
return,”
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
You
may
use
the
information
in
this
section
of
the
table,
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
section
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
section
of
the
table
shown,
“Hypothetical
5%
return,”
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
on
purchases
and
sales
of
your
ETF
shares,
or
exchange
fees.
Therefore,
the
second
section
of
the
table
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
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.
The
Fund's
expenses
shown
in
the
table assume
reinvestment
of
all
dividends
and
distributions.

Macquarie
ETF
Trust
(Trust)
is
organized
as
a
Delaware
statutory
trust
effective
February
22,
2023
and
is
an
open-end
management
investment
company
registered
with
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission.
As
of
the
date
of
this
report,
the
Trust
offers
three
series.
These
financial
statements
and
the
related
notes
pertain
to
Macquarie
Tax-Free
USA
Short
Term
ETF (the
Fund).
The
Fund
commenced
operations
on
November
28,
2023
.
The
Fund
is
considered
diversified
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(1940
Act).
1.
Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
Fund
follows
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
under
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
Topic
946,
Financial
Services
Investment
Companies.
The
following
accounting
policies
are
in
accordance
with
US
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
(US
GAAP)
and
are
consistently
followed
by
the
Fund.
Security
Valuation
Fixed
income
securities
are
generally
priced
based
upon
valuations
provided
by
an
independent
pricing
service
or
broker
in
accordance
with
methodologies
included
within
Delaware
Management
Company
(DMC
or
the
Manager)'s
Pricing
Policy
(the
Policy).
Fixed
income
security
valuations
are
then
reviewed
by
DMC
as
part
of
its
duties
as
the
Fund's
valuation
designee
and,
to
the
extent
required
by
the
Policy
and
applicable
regulation,
fair
valued
consistent
with
the
Policy.
To
the
extent
current
market
prices
are
not
available,
the
pricing
service
may
take
into
account
developments
related
to
the
specific
security,
as
well
as
transactions
in
comparable
securities.
Valuations
for
fixed
income
securities
utilize
matrix
systems,
which
reflect
such
factors
as
security
prices,
yields,
maturities,
and
ratings,
and
are
supplemented
by
dealer
and
exchange
quotations.
Generally,
other
securities
and
assets
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
by
DMC.
Subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Trust's
Board
of
Trustees
(Board),
DMC,
as
valuation
designee,
has
adopted
policies
and
procedures
to
fair
value
securities
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
consistent
with
the
requirements
of
Rule
2a-5
under
the
1940
Act.
In
determining
whether
market
quotations
are
readily
available
or
fair
valuation
will
be
used,
various
factors
will
be
taken
into
consideration,
such
as
market
closures
or
suspension
of
trading
in
a
security.
Restricted
securities
and
private
placements
are
valued
at
fair
value.
Federal
Income
Taxes
No
provision
for
federal
income
taxes
has
been
made
as the
Fund
intends
to
qualify
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
and
make
the
requisite
distributions
to
shareholders.
The
Fund
evaluates
tax
positions
taken
or
expected
to
be
taken
in
the
course
of
preparing
the
Fund's
tax
returns
to
determine
whether
the
tax
positions
are
“more-likely-than-not”
of
being
sustained
by
the
applicable
tax
authority.
Tax
positions
not
deemed
to
meet
the
“more-likely-than-not”
threshold
are
recorded
as
a
tax
benefit
or
expense
in
the
current
period.
Management
has
analyzed the
Fund’s
tax
positions
taken
or
expected
to
be
taken
on the
Fund’s
federal
income
tax
returns
through
the period ended
March
31,
2024
,
and
has
concluded
that
no
provision
for
federal
income
tax
is
required
in
the
Fund’s
financial
statements.
17
If
applicable, the
Fund
recognizes
interest
accrued
on
unrecognized
tax
benefits
in
interest
expense
and
penalties
in
“Other”
on
the
“Statement
of
operations.”
During
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024
,
the
Fund
did
not
incur
any
interest
or
tax
penalties. 
In-kind
Redemptions 
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
in-kind
redemptions
are
treated
as
sales
of
securities
resulting
in
realized
capital
gains
or
losses
to
the
Fund.
Because
such
gains
or
losses
are
not
taxable
to
the
Fund
and
are
not
distributed
to
existing
Fund
shareholders,
the
gains
or
losses
are
reclassified
from
accumulated
net
realized
gain
(loss)
to
paid-in
capital
at
the
end
of
the
Fund’s
tax
year.
These
reclassifications
have
no
effect
on
net
assets
NAV
per
share.
Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
conformity
with
US
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
fair
value
of
investments,
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
and
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements,
and
the
reported
amounts
of
revenues
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates
and
the
differences
could
be
material.
Other
Security
transactions
are
recorded
on
the
date
the
securities
are
purchased
or
sold
(trade
date)
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Costs
used
in
calculating
realized
gains
and
losses
on
the
sale
of
investment
securities
are
those
of
the
specific
securities
sold.
Interest
income
is
recorded
on
an
accrual
basis.
Discounts
and
premiums
on
debt
securities
are
accreted
or
amortized
to
interest
income,
respectively,
over
the
lives
of
the
respective
securities
using
the
effective
interest
method.
Premiums
on
callable
debt
securities
are
amortized
to
interest
income
to
the
earliest
call
date
using
the
effective
interest
method.
The
Fund
declares
and
pays
dividends
from
net
investment
income
monthly
and
distributions
from
net
realized
gain
on
investments,
if
any,
at
least
annually.
The
Fund
may
distribute
more
frequently,
if
necessary
for
tax
purposes.
Dividends
and
distributions,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.

Investment
Management,
Administration
Agreements,
and
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates 
In
accordance
with
the
terms
of
its
investment
management
agreement,
the
Fund
pays
DMC,
a
series
of
Macquarie
Investment
Management
Business
Trust
and
the
investment
manager,
an
annual
unitary
management fee
which
is
calculated
daily
and
paid
monthly
at
the
rate
of
0.29%
on
the
Fund's
average
daily
net
assets.
From
the
unitary
management
fees,
DMC
pays
most
of
the
expenses
of
the
Fund,
including
the
cost
of
sub-advisory
fees
to
any
investment
sub-adviser,
transfer
agency,
custody,
fund
administration,
legal,
audit
and
other
services.
However,
under
the
investment
management
agreement,
DMC
is
not
responsible
for
(i)
interest
expenses;
(ii)
taxes
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
income,
excise,
transfer
and
withholding
taxes);
(iii)
expenses
of
a
Fund
incurred
with
respect
to
the
acquisition
and
disposition
of
portfolio
securities,
instruments
or
other
investments
and
the
execution
of
portfolio
transactions,
including
brokerage
commissions;
(iv)
expenses
incurred
in

with
any

adopted
by
the
Trust
in
compliance
with

3.
Investments
For
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024
,
the
Fund
made
purchases
and
sales
of
investment
securities
other
than
short-term
investments
and
US
government
securities as
follows: 
There
were
no
investment
transactions
related
to
in-kind
purchases
and
sales
for
the
period
ended
March
31,
2024.
The
tax
cost
of
investments
includes
adjustments
to
net
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
which
may
not
necessarily
be
the
final
tax
cost
basis
adjustments
but
which
approximate
the
tax
basis
unrealized
gains
and
losses
that
may
be
realized
and
distributed
to
shareholders.
At
March
31,
2024
,
the
cost
and
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
of
investments
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
for
the
Fund
were
as
follows: 
US
GAAP
defines
fair
value
as
the
price
that
the
Fund
would
receive
to
sell
an
asset
or
pay
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date
under
current
market
conditions.
A
three-level
hierarchy
for
fair
value
measurements
has
been
established
based
upon
the
transparency
of
inputs
to
the
valuation
of
an
asset
or
liability.
Inputs
may
be
observable
or
unobservable
and
refer
broadly
to
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability.
Observable
inputs
reflect
the
assumptions
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability
based
on
market
data
obtained
from
sources
independent
of
the
reporting
entity.
Unobservable
inputs
reflect
the
reporting
entity’s
own
assumptions
about
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability
based
on
the
best
information
available
under
the
circumstances.
The
Fund's
investment
in
its
entirety
is
assigned
a
level
based
upon
the
observability
of
the
inputs
which
are
significant
to
the
overall
valuation.
The
three-level
hierarchy
of
inputs
is
summarized
as
follows:

(Examples:
broker-quoted
securities
and
fair

securities)
Level

investments
are
valued
using
significant

The
Fund
may
also
use
an
income-based
valuation
approach
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of

6.
Issuance
and
Redemption
of
Fund
Shares 
The
Fund
is
an
exchange-traded
fund
or
ETF.
Individual
Fund
shares
may
only
be
purchased
and
sold
on
a
national
securities
exchange
through
a
broker-dealer
and
investors
may
pay
a
commission
to
such
broker-dealers
in
connection
with
their
purchase
or
sale.
The
price
of
Fund
shares
is
based
on
market
price,
and
because
ETF
shares
trade
at
market
prices
rather
than
NAV,
shares
may
trade
at
a
price
greater
than
NAV
(a
premium)
or
less
than
NAV
(a
discount).
The
Fund
will
only
issue
or
redeem
shares
aggregated
into
blocks
of
50,000
shares
or
multiples
thereof
(“Creation
Units”) to
Authorized
Participants
who
have
entered
into
agreements
with
the
Fund's
Distributor.
An
Authorized
Participant
is
either
(1)
a
“Participating
Party,”
(i.e.,
a
broker-
dealer
or
other
participant
in
the
clearing
process
of
the
Continuous
Net
Settlement
System
of
the
National
Securities
Clearing
Corporation)
(“Clearing
Process”),
or
(2)
a
participant
of
Depository
Trust
Company
(“DTC
Participant”),
and,
in
each
case,
must
have
executed
an
agreement
(“Participation
Agreement”)
with
the
Distributor
with
respect
to
creations
and
redemptions
of
Creation
Units.
The
Fund
will
issue
or
redeem
Creation
Units
in
return
for
a
basket
of
assets
that
the
Fund
specifies
each
day.
Shares
are
listed
on
the
NYSE
Arca,
Inc.
exchange
and
are
publicly
traded.
If
an
investor
buys
or
sells
Fund
shares
on
the
secondary
market,
the
investor
will
pay
or
receive
the
market
price,
which
may
be
higher
or
lower
than
NAV.
The
investor's
transaction
will
be
priced
at
NAV
if
the
investor
purchases
or
redeems
Fund
shares
in
Creation
Units.

may
pay
a

fee
and
a

transaction
fee
directly
to
the
Fund's
Administrator
to
offset
transfer
and
other
transaction
costs
associated
with
the
issuance
and

of
Creation
Units,
including
Creation
Units
for

Additionally,
a
portion
of
the
transaction

is
used
to
offset
transactional
costs
typically
accrued
in
the
Fund's
custody
expenses
directly
related
to
the

if
they
are

7.
Certain
Principal
Risks
of
the
Fund
Sustainability
risk
Investing
with
a
focus
on
companies
that
exhibit
a
commitment
to
sustainable
practices
may
result
in
the
Fund
investing
in
certain
types
of
companies,
industries
or
sectors
that
the
market
may
not
favor.
The
securities
of
such
companies
may
underperform
the
stock
market
as
a
whole
and
the
criteria
used
to
select
companies
for
investment
may
result
in
the
Fund
investing
in
securities
that
underperform
securities
of
companies
that
do
not
exhibit
such
a
commitment
to
sustainability.
Interest
rate
risk
The
risk
that
the
prices
of
bonds
and
other
fixed
income
securities
will
increase
as
interest
rates
fall
and
decrease
as
interest
rates
rise.
Interest
rate
changes
are
influenced
by
a
number
of
factors,
such
as
government
policy,
monetary
policy,
inflation
expectations,
and
the
supply
and
demand
of
bonds.
Bonds
and
other
fixed
income
securities
with
longer
maturities
or
duration
generally
are
more
sensitive
to
interest
rate
changes.
A
fund
may
be
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
rising
interest
rates
when
interest
rates
are
low
or
inflation
rates
are
high
or
rising. 
High
yield
(junk
bond)
risk
The
risk
that
high
yield
securities,
commonly
known
as
“junk
bonds,”
are
subject
to
reduced
creditworthiness
of
issuers,
increased
risk
of
default,
and
a
more
limited
and
less
liquid
secondary
market.
High
yield
securities
may
also
be
subject
to
greater
price
volatility
and
risk
of
loss
of
income
and
principal
than
are
higher-rated
securities.
High
yield
bonds
are
sometimes
issued
by
municipalities
that
have
less
financial
strength
and
therefore
have
less
ability
to
make
projected
debt
payments
on
the
bonds. 
Credit
risk
The
risk
that
an
issuer
of
a
debt
security,
including
a
governmental
issuer
or
an
entity
that
insures
a
bond,
may
be
unable
to
make
interest
payments
and/or
repay
principal
in
a
timely
manner. 
Call
risk
The
risk
that
a
bond
issuer
will
prepay
the
bond
during
periods
of
low
interest
rates,
forcing
a
fund
to
reinvest
that
money
at
interest
rates
that
might
be
lower
than
rates
on
the
called
bond.

Alternative
minimum
tax
risk
If
a
fund
invests
in
bonds
whose
income
is
subject
to
the
alternative
minimum
tax,
that
portion
of
the
fund’s
distributions
would
be
taxable
for
shareholders
who
are
subject
to
this
tax.
Geographic
concentration
risk
The
risk
that
heightened
sensitivity
to
regional,
state,
US
territories
or
possessions
(such
as
the
Commonwealth
of
Puerto
Rico,
Guam,
or
the
US
Virgin
Islands),
and
local
political
and
economic
conditions
could
adversely
affect
the
holdings
in
and
performance
of
a
fund.
There
is
also
the
risk
that
there
could
be
an
inadequate
supply
of
municipal
bonds
in
a
particular
state
or
US
territory
or
possession.
ETF
Structure
Risks
The
Fund
is
structured
as
an
ETF
and
as
a
result
is
subject
to
special
risks.
Shares
are
not
individually
redeemable
and
may
be
redeemed
by
the
Fund
at
NAV
only
in
large
blocks
known
as
“Creation
Units.”
Trading
in
shares
on
the
CBOE
BZX
Exchange,
Inc.
(the
“Exchange”)
may
be
halted
due
to
market
conditions
or
for
reasons
that,
in
the
view
of
the
Exchange,
make
trading
in
Shares
inadvisable,
such
as
extraordinary
market
volatility.
There
can
be
no
assurance
that
Shares
will
continue
to
meet
the
listing
requirements
of
the
Exchange.
An
active
trading
market
for
the
Fund’s
shares
may
not
be
developed
or
maintained.
If
the
Fund’s
shares
are
traded
outside
a
collateralized
settlement
system,
the
number
of
financial
institutions
that
can
act
as
authorized
participants
that
can
post
collateral
on
an
agency
basis
is
limited,
which
may
limit
the
market
for
the
Fund’s
shares.
The
market
prices
of
Shares
will
fluctuate
in
response
to
changes
in
NAV
and
supply
and
demand
for
shares
and
will
include
a
“bid-ask
spread”
charged
by
the
exchange
specialists,
market
makers
or
other
participants
that
trade
the
particular
security.
There
may
be
times
when
the
market
price
and
the
NAV
vary
significantly
particularly
during
times
of
market
stress,
with
the
result
that
investors
may
pay
significantly
more
or
significantly
less
for
Fund
shares
than
the
Fund’s
NAV,
which
is
reflected
in
the
bid
and
ask
price
for
Fund
shares
or
in
the
closing
price.
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
NAV,
the
shareholder
may
sustain
losses
if
the
shares
are
sold
at
a
price
that
is
less
than
the
price
paid
by
the
shareholder
for
the
shares.
When
all
or
a
portion
of
an
ETFs
underlying
securities
trade
in
a
market
that
is
closed
when
the
market
for
the
Fund’s
shares
is
open,
there
may
be
changes
from
the
last
quote
of
the
closed
market
and
the
quote
from
the
Fund’s
domestic
trading
day,
which
could
lead
to
differences
between
the
market
value
of
the
Fund’s
shares
and
the
Fund’s
NAV.
In
stressed
market
conditions,
the
market
for
the
Fund’s
shares
may
become
less
liquid
in
response
to
the
deteriorating
liquidity
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
This
adverse
effect
on
the
liquidity
of
the
Fund’s
shares
may,
in
turn,
lead
to
differences
between
the
market
value
of
the
Fund’s
shares
and
the
Fund’s
NAV.
8.
Contractual
Obligations 
The
Fund
enters
into
contracts
in
the
normal
course
of
business
that
contain
a
variety
of
indemnifications.
The
Fund's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown.
However,
the
Fund
has
not
had
prior
claims
or
losses
pursuant
to
these
contracts.
Management
has
reviewed
the
Fund's
existing
contracts
and
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and

including
the
schedule
of
investments,
of
Macquarie
Tax-Free
USA
Short

ETF
(one
of
the
Funds
constituting
Macquarie
ETF
Trust,
referred
to
hereafter
as
the
“Fund”)
as
of
March
31,
2024,
and
the
related
statements
of
operations
and
changes
in

including
the

and
the

2023
(commencement
of
operations)
through
March
31,
2024
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
March
31,
2024,
and

Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audit.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audit
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audit
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audit
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
March
31,
2024
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian.
We
believe
that
our
audit
provides
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

needed
by
shareholders
for
income
tax

the
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”),

of
Trustees
each
of
whom
is
not
an
“interested
person”
as
defined
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of

Prior
to
the

were
assisted
in
their
evaluation
of
the
Investment
Management

and
the
Sub-Advisory

from
whom
they
received
separate

In
providing
information
to
the

In
considering
and

considered

The
Board
did
not
identify
any
particular
information
or
consideration
that
was
all-important
or
controlling,
and
each
individual
Trustee
may
have
attributed
different
weights
to
various
factors.
After
its
deliberations,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Trustees,
unanimously
approved
the
Investment
Management
Agreement
and
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
for
an
initial
two-year
term.
The
following
summarizes
a
number
of
important,
but
not
necessarily
all,
factors
considered
by
the
Board
in
support
of
its
approval.
The
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
to
be
provided
by
DMC
and
MIMGL.
The
Board
reviewed
the
services
that
DMC
and
MIMGL
would
provide
to
each
Fund.
In
connection
with
the
investment
advisory
services
to
be
provided,
the
Board
noted
the
responsibilities
that
DMC
would
have
as
the
Funds’
investment
adviser,
including:
the
overall
supervisory
responsibility
for
the
general
management
and
investment
of
each
Fund’s
securities
portfolio;
providing
oversight
of
the
investment
performance
and
processes
and
compliance
with
the
Fund’s
investment
objectives,
policies
and
limitations;
the
implementation
of
the
investment
management
program
of
each
Fund;
the
management
of
the
day-to-day
investment
and
reinvestment
of
the
assets
of
each
Fund;
determining
daily
baskets
of
deposit
securities
and
cash
components;
executing
portfolio
security
trades
for
purchases
and
redemptions
of
Fund
shares
conducted
on
a
cash-in-lieu
basis;
the
review
of
brokerage
matters;
the
oversight
of
general
portfolio
compliance
with
relevant
law;
and
the
implementation
of
Board
directives
as
they
relate
to
the
Funds.
The
Board
reviewed
DMC’s
and
MIMGL’s
experience,
resources
and
strengths
in
managing
other
pooled
investment
vehicles,
including
the
personnel
of
each.
Based
on
its
consideration
and
review
of
the
foregoing
information,
the
Board
determined
that
each
Fund
was
likely
to
benefit
from
the
nature,
quality
and
extent
of
these
services,
as
well
as
the
ability
of
DMC
and
MIMGL
to
render
such
services
based
on
their
experience,
personnel,
operations
and
resources.
Fees,
expenses
and
profitability.
The
Board
compared
both
the
services
to
be
rendered
and
the
proposed
fees
to
be
paid
to
DMC
with
the
fees
that
DMC
receives
pursuant
to
its
other
advisory
agreements,
as
well
as
the
fees
paid
to
other
investment
advisers
with
respect
to
similar
funds.
In
particular,
the
Board
compared
each
Fund’s
proposed
advisory
fee
and
total
expense
ratio
to
other
investment
companies
considered
to
be
in
that
Fund’s
peer
group.
The
Board
also
received
and
considered
information
about
the
fee
rates
charged
to
other
accounts
and
clients
managed
by
DMC,
including
information
about
the
differences
in
services
provided
to
the
non-registered
investment
company
clients.
The
Board
also
discussed
the
anticipated
costs
and
projected
profitability
of
DMC
in
connection
with
its
service
as
investment
adviser
to
each
Fund,
including
operational
costs.
In
addition,
the
Board
discussed
the
entrepreneurial
risk
undertaken
by
Management
in
creating
the
Trust.
After
comparing
each
Fund’s
proposed
fees
and
total
expense
ratios
with
those
of
other
funds
in
the
Fund’s
peer
group,
and
in
light
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
proposed
to
be
provided
by
DMC
and
MIMGL
and
the
costs
they
expected
to
incur
in
rendering
those
services,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
level
of
fees
proposed
to
be
paid
to
DMC
with
respect
to
the
Funds
were
fair
and
reasonable.

at
a Meeting Held
on

(continued)

The
Board
also
considered
that
DMC
and
its
affiliates
may
experience
reputational
“fall-
out”
benefits
based
on
the
success
of
the
Funds,
but
that
such
benefits
are
not
easily
quantifiable.
The
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
would
be
realized
as
the
Funds
grow
and
whether
fee
levels
would
reflect
such
economies
of
scale.
The
Board
next
discussed
potential
economies
of
scale.
Since
the
Trust
is
newly
formed,
the
Trust
and
the
Funds
had
not
commenced
operations,
and
the
eventual
aggregate
amount
of
assets
was
uncertain,
Management
was
not
able
to
provide
the
Board
with
specific
information
concerning
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
would
be
realized
as
each
Fund
grows
and
whether
fee
levels
would
reflect
such
economies
of
scale,
if
any.
The
Board
recognized
the
uncertainty
in
launching
a
new
investment
product
and
estimating
future
asset
levels.
The
Trustees
noted
that
any
reduction
in
fixed
costs
associated
with
the
management
of
the
Funds
would
be
enjoyed
by
DMC,
but
that
a
unitary
advisory
fee
provides
a
level
of
certainty
in
expenses
for
the
Funds.
Investment
performance
of
the
Funds
and
the
Adviser.
Because
each
Fund
is
newly
formed
and
had
not
commenced
operations,
the
Board
did
not
consider
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund
or
the
Adviser.

            b.         The ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals, and reserves;

            d.         An understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and
