Shareholder Letter
September 30, 2014
 

Dear Shareholder,

The second and third quarters of 2014 can be described in a single word: volatile. What started off as a continuation of the turnaround we saw in most emerging market countries at the end of the first quarter turned into rough ride by mid September. Gains in the MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Index in July and August evaporated in September as investors were roiled by a sharp rise in the U.S. Dollar. This sharp rise was bolstered by fears of an earlier than expected rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve as the U.S. economy gathered momentum. Emerging markets were not the only non-U.S. equity market affected and the euro declined as Europe edged closer to recession and deflation. However, the MSCI Frontier Market (FM) Index continued to be the star performer in the third quarter and maintained its strong performance from the first half of 2014. Overall, the MSCI EM Index was up 2.87% and the MSCI FM Index up 13.63% from March 31, 2014 to September 30, 2014. Flows for both emerging markets equity and fixed income exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were generally positive as were flows into EGShares ETFs.

Persistent and upgraded sanctions against Russia are not in the mainstream media to the degree they once were, but the possibility they are implemented remains to have an effect on Russia and its trading partners. We continue to monitor those funds that have exposure in this area.

Our investment philosophy continues to be based on applying selection criteria to allocate within emerging markets, much as investors do in developed markets. We believe that long-term emerging market equity returns will likely be enhanced by sectors driven by domestic demand and smaller or less mature countries. The success of our EGShares Beyond BRICs ETF (BBRC) underscores this philosophy as it has brought in over $250 million in assets this year and returned 5.24% from March 31, 2014 to September 30, 2014. The fund provides integrated exposure across 17 smaller, less mature emerging markets and frontier markets and excludes the larger or more mature BRIC countries, as well as South Korea and Taiwan. We believe that BBRC’s net inflows reflect inventors’ ongoing questioning of the broad benchmarks as an investment solution and suggests a more forward looking approach.

During the second quarter of 2014, Emerging Global Advisors (EGA) launched our first ETF that included companies from developed markets. While we believe the best way for an investor to access the potential growth of emerging markets is through emerging market-based companies, there are some investors who would rather access that growth through companies based in more developed markets. The challenge, however, is finding those companies that disclose the amount of their revenue that is derived from emerging markets. The EGShares Blue Chip ETF was launched on April 23, 2014 to address this challenge and invests in developed market companies with measurable, meaningful, growing and quality revenue from emerging and frontier market countries.1

EGA assets grew meaningfully from the $1.47 billion we held on March 31, 2014 and stood at $1.75 billion at the end of the third quarter, a change of just over 19%.

As always, we remain committed to employing a disciplined, rules-based investment process rooted in research and portfolio strategy to generate alpha in emerging and frontier markets. Thank you for the trust you have placed in us through your investment.

Sincerely,

Shareholder Letter (concluded)
September 30, 2014

This material must be accompanied by or preceded by the prospectus.

Emerging market investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, from economic or political instability in other nations or increased volatility and lower trading volume. The value of an investment denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Small and mid-cap companies generally will have greater volatility in price than the stocks of large companies due to limited product lines or resources, or a dependency upon a particular market niche.

These Funds may be non-diversified and, as a result, may have greater volatility than diversified funds. These Fund may concentrate its investment in issuers of one or more particular industries to the same extent as their underlying index. Concentration risk results from maintaining exposure to issuers conducting business in a specific industry. In certain circumstances, a Fund might not be able to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value preventing them from tracking the underlying index. As an ETF, Fund shares are not individually redeemable securities. There is no assurance that an active trading market for Fund shares will develop or be maintained.

MSCI Emerging Markets Index is an index that is designed to measure equity market performance in global emerging markets. MSCI Frontier Markets Index is an index that is designed to measure equity market performance of frontier markets. MSCI makes no express or implied warranties or representations and shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any claims contained herein. One cannot invest in an index.

This manager commentary represents an assessment of the market environment at a specific point in time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, or a guarantee of future results.

EGShares Beyond BRICs ETF (ticker: BBRC)

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield performance of the FTSE Beyond BRICs Index (“Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of a diversified basket of 90 liquid companies in Emerging and Frontier markets, as defined by FTSE’s Country Classification System, ex Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRIC), Taiwan and Argentina. The index is market capitalization weighted, and will generally provide exposure up to 75% emerging markets and 25% frontier markets.

Emerging market investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, from economic or political instability in other nations or increased volatility and lower trading volume. This Fund will concentrate its investments in issuers of one or more particular industries to the same extent that its Underlying Index is concentrated. Concentration risk results from investing more than 25% of the Fund’s assets in issuers conducting business in the same industry. The Fund may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in those industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries.

EGShares Blue Chip ETF (ticker: BCHP)

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield performance of the EGAI Developed Markets Blue Chip EM Access Index (the “Underlying Index”). The Fund attempts to replicate the portfolio of the Underlying Index by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities (including common shares traded on local exchanges, ADRs and GDRs) of well established, widely recognized companies that are among the market leaders in their respective sectors (i.e., “blue chip companies”) that have meaningful exposure to emerging markets.

This Fund is non-diversified and, as a result, may have greater volatility than diversified funds. This Fund will concentrate its investments in issuers of one or more particular industries to the same extent that its Underlying Index is concentrated. Concentration risk results from investing more than 25% of the Fund’s assets in issuers conducting business in the same industry. The Fund may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in those industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries. Mid-cap companies generally will have greater volatility in price than the stocks of large companies due to limited product lines or resources, or a dependency upon a particular market niche.

EGShares India Infrastructure ETF (ticker: INXX)

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield performance of the Indxx India Infrastructure Index (“Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index is a free-float capitalization- weighted stock market index comprised of 30 leading emerging market companies that Indxx, LLC determines to be representative of India’s infrastructure sectors.

This Fund is non-diversified and, as a result, may have greater volatility than diversified funds. Emerging market investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, from economic or political instability in other nations or increased volatility and lower trading volume. This Fund will concentrate its investments in issuers of one or more particular industries to the same extent that its Underlying Index is concentrated. Concentration risk results from maintaining exposure to issuers conducting business in a specific industry. The Fund may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in those industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries. Small cap and mid cap companies generally will have greater volatility in price than the stocks of large companies due to limited product lines or resources or a dependency upon a particular market niche.

Shareholder Expense Examples (Unaudited)
 

As a shareholder of an EGShares ETF, you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses, if any. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held throughout the entire period (April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014).

Actual expenses

The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid Through 9/30/2014” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line under each Fund in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each 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 your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

2. CONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARIES

The Consolidated Schedules of Investments; Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, of Operations and of Changes in Net Assets; and the Consolidated Financial Highlights of the ETFs listed below include the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 
Funds   Wholly Owned Subsidiary
Consumer ETF   EG Shares Consumer Mauritius
Core ETF   EG Shares Core Mauritius
Domestic Demand ETF   EG Shares Domestic Demand Mauritius
India Consumer ETF   EG Shares India Consumer Mauritius
India Infrastructure ETF   EG Shares India Infrastructure Mauritius
India Small Cap ETF   EG Shares India Small Cap Mauritius
Low Volatility Dividend ETF   EG Shares High Income/Low Beta Mauritius

The Consumer ETF, Core ETF, Domestic Demand ETF and Low Volatility Dividend ETF may each invest its assets in a wholly owned subsidiary in Mauritius, which in turn invests virtually all of its assets in Indian securities, based on the number of Indian securities that are included in each ETF’s respective Underlying Index.

The India Consumer ETF, India Infrastructure ETF and India Small Cap ETF invest substantially all of their assets in wholly owned subsidiaries in Mauritius, which in turn invest virtually all of their assets in Indian securities, based on the number of Indian securities that are included in each ETF’s respective Underlying Index.

By investing in a wholly owned subsidiary, the Funds listed in the table above each obtain benefits under the tax treaty between Mauritius and India. Each subsidiary may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by the Indian government on dividends, interest and realized

capital gains should new legislation be passed to modify the current tax treaty with Mauritius. Any change in the provisions of this treaty could result in the imposition of withholding and other taxes on these ETFs by authorities in India. This would reduce the return on investment and the return received by each ETF’s shareholders.

A summary of each ETF’s investment in its corresponding subsidiary is as follows:

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the ETFs.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts on behalf of its series that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s series’ maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known as this would involve future claims that may be made against a series of the Trust that have not yet occurred; however, the Trust expects any risk of loss by a series to be remote. The assets of a series may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of any other series.

Investment Valuation

The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share is computed as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), ordinarily 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on each day during which the NYSE is open for trading. The NAV per share of an ETF is computed by dividing the value of the ETF’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets (including accrued interest), less all liabilities (including accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding at the time such computation is made.

Securities Valuation

Foreign equity securities are valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such securities are traded. U.S. listed equity securities and listed ADRs and GDRs are valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. U.S. equity securities that are traded in over-the-counter markets are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including restricted securities, are valued by a method that the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) believes accurately reflects fair value. The value of assets denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by management of the ETFs. Use of a rate different from the rate used by the index provider may adversely affect an ETF’s ability to track its Underlying Index.

Foreign Currency Translations

Investments denominated in foreign currencies are subject to additional risk factors as compared to investments denominated in U.S. dollars. The value of an investment denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or

48   EGA Emerging Global Shares Trust


 
 

Notes to Financial Statements  (continued)
September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Generally, when the U.S. dollar gains in value against a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Risks related to foreign currencies also include those related to economic or political developments, market inefficiencies or a higher risk that essential investment information may be incomplete, unavailable or inaccurate. A U.S. dollar investment in depositary receipts or ordinary shares of foreign issuers traded on U.S. exchanges is indirectly subject to foreign currency risk to the extent that the issuer conducts its principal business in markets where transactions are denominated in foreign currencies.

Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The ETFs do not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period.

Security Transactions and Related Income

Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. The ETFs determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes, with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, including the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Federal Income Taxes

The Beyond BRICs ETF, Brazil Infrastructure ETF, Consumer ETF, Core ETF, Domestic Demand ETF, India Consumer ETF, India Infrastructure ETF, India Small Cap ETF and Low Volatility Dividend ETF have qualified and continue to qualify, and the Blue Chip ETF, Dividend High Income ETF, and Dividend Growth ETF intend to qualify, as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, an ETF will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Each ETF expects to declare and pay all of its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends annually (quarterly for Dividend Growth ETF and the Low Volatility Dividend ETF; monthly for Dividend High Income ETF), and will also declare and pay net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually, except where the costs of such distributions exceed the amount of tax that the distributions are intended to avoid, in which case the ETF will pay the applicable tax. An ETF may distribute such investment income and capital gains more frequently, if necessary, in order to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the ETF. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The ETFs are subject to accounting standards that provide guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. These standards require the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken by the ETFs and 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 would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires management of the ETFs to analyze all open tax years as defined by IRS statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of March 31, 2014, open federal and state income tax years include the tax years or periods ended March 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014. The ETFs have no examinations in progress.

There is no tax liability resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken. The ETFs are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Expenses

Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific ETF, are applied to that ETF.

4. INVESTMENT RISKS

The ETFs are subject to emerging markets risk. Investments in emerging market securities are subject to even greater risks than for foreign investments generally, including increased risks of: illiquidity of securities; price volatility; inflation or deflation; restrictions on foreign investment; nationalization; higher taxation; economic and political instability; pervasive corruption and crime; less governmental regulation; and less developed legal systems.

The Beyond BRICs ETF concentrates its investments in industries to the same extent as the Beyond BRICs Underlying Index, and as such, may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in those industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries.

The Blue Chip ETF concentrates its investments in industries to the same extent as the Blue Chip EM Underlying Index, and as such, may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in those industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries.

The Brazil Infrastructure ETF only invests in Brazilian securities. Its NAV will therefore be much more sensitive to changes in economic, political and other factors within Brazil than would a fund that invested in a greater variety of countries.

The Brazil Infrastructure ETF and India Infrastructure ETF concentrate their investments in infrastructure industries to the same extent as their respective underlying indices, and as such, may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in the infrastructure sector, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that sector.

The Dividend High Income ETF concentrates its investments in industries to the same extent as the High Dividend Underlying Index. The Fund may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in those industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries.

The Consumer ETF and India Consumer ETF concentrate their investments in the consumer goods and services industries to the same extent as their respective underlying indices, and as such, may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in the consumer goods and services industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries. The success of consumer goods and consumer services suppliers and retailers is tied closely to the performance of the domestic and international economy, interest rates, currency exchange rates, competition, preferences, and consumer confidence.

The Core ETF concentrates its investments in industries to the same extent as the Core Underlying Index, and as such, may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in those industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries.

The Dividend Growth ETF concentrates its investments in industries to the same extent as the Dividend Growth Underlying Index. The Fund may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in those industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries.

The Domestic Demand ETF concentrates its investments in industries to the same extent as the EMDD Underlying Index, and as such, may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in the consumer goods, consumer services, health care, telecommunications and utilities industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries.

The India Consumer ETF, India Infrastructure ETF and India Small Cap ETF only invest in Indian securities. Their NAVs will therefore be much more sensitive to changes in economic, political and other factors within India than would a fund that invested in a greater variety of countries.

The India Small Cap ETF primarily invests in small capitalization companies, and as such, may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in that capitalization.

The Low Volatility Dividend ETF concentrates its investments in industries to the same extent as the HILO Underlying Index, and as such, may be adversely affected by increased price volatility of securities in those industries, and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those industries.

5. DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

ALPS Distributors, Inc., (the “Distributor”) serves as the distributor of creation units (see Note 10) for the ETFs pursuant to a distribution agreement. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares. The ETFs have adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the Plan, each ETF is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. For the period ended September 30, 2014, no fees were paid by the ETFs under the Plan, and there are no current plans to impose these fees.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of redemptions in kind, PFIC sales adjustments, non-deductible offering costs, return of capital distributions and tax treatment of currency gains and losses. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Certain net losses incurred after October 31 and December 31, and within the taxable year or period are deemed to arise on the first business day of the ETFs’ next taxable year. For the year or period ended March 31, 2014, the ETFs deferred to April 1, 2014 these losses of:

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification, Section 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for

52   EGA Emerging Global Shares Trust


 
 

Notes to Financial Statements  (continued)
September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement. Under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, various inputs are used in determining the value of the ETFs’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

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

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

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

The ETFs have adopted the Accounting Standard Update, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements which provides guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose: i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 or Level 3 positions; ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) are required to be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer; and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 roll forward rather than as one net number.

The inputs and methodology used for valuing the securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Reconciliation of the investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining the fair value during the period ended September 30, 2014:

 
  India Small Cap ETF
     Common Stocks Basic Materials
Balance as of March 31, 2014   $ 9,752  
Realized gain (loss)(1)      
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)(2)     (322 ) 
Purchases      
Sales      
Transfers into Level 3(3)      
Transfers out of Level 3(4)      
Balance as of September 30, 2014   $ 9,430  
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments still held
as of September 30, 2014 is:
  $ (322 ) 
1 This amount is included in net realized gain (loss) from investment transactions in the Statement of Operations.
2 This amount is included in the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investment transactions in the Statement of Operations.
  Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) includes net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from changes in investment values during the period and the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation (depreciation) when gains or losses are realized.
3 Transfers into Level 3 are as a result of the unavailability of a quoted price in an active market for an identical investment or the unavailability of other significant observable inputs.
4 Transfers out of Level 3 are as a result of the availability of a quoted price in an active market for an identical investment or the availability of other significant observable inputs.

To estimate fair value, the Trust’s Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) followed procedures established by the Board. The significant inputs for the valuation methodology for the India Small Cap ETF, after consideration of quantitative and fundamental factors, were duration of fair valuation event and an illiquidity discount.

Each Fund values its investments at fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board if (1) market quotations are insufficient or not readily available or (2) Emerging Global Advisors, LLC (“EGA”) believes that the values available are unreliable. The Committee performs certain functions as they relate to the administration and oversight of the Funds’ valuation procedures. Under these procedures, the Committee convenes on a regular and ad-hoc basis to review such securities and considers a number of factors, including valuation methodologies and significant unobservable inputs, when arriving at fair value.

In determining fair valuations, inputs may include duration of fair valuation event, comparable benchmark performance, and an illiquidity discount. Discounts may be applied based on the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. The Committee performs regular reviews of securities that are fair valued for more than five days.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV determined by using market quotes.

The following is a summary of the significant unobservable inputs used as of September 30, 2014 in valuing Level 3 securities:

       
India Small Cap ETF   Fair Value   Valuation Technique   Unobservable Input   Value of
Unobservable Inputs
Investments in Securities
                   
Common Stocks                    
Basic Materials   $9,430   Adjustment to market based on
duration of fair value event and
illiquidity discount
  Illiquidity Discount   88.4%

Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the comparable benchmark may result in a corresponding increase (decrease) in fair value. A significant increase (decrease) in the illiquidity discount may result in a corresponding decrease (increase) in fair value.

9. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

Effective April 1, 2013, EGA replaced the current fee and expense structure with a unified fee (“Unified Fee”) for all of the series of the Trust. Under the Unified Fee, EGA took on the contractual obligation to pay all ordinary operating expenses of the ETFs without any increase in EGA’s advisory fee. The ETFs were previously obligated to pay these expenses through March 31, 2013, although EGA had entered into annual voluntary expense waiver and reimbursement agreements that capped an ETF’s ordinary operating expenses at the same rate as EGA’s advisory fee. Under the Unified Fee, EGA pays all of the expenses of each series of the Trust, except for the fee payment under the investment advisory agreements between EGA and the Trust, payments under each series’ 12b-1 plan (if ever implemented), brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses.

Effective July 1, 2013, the advisory fee for Consumer ETF changed from 0.85% of the average daily net assets to the following tiered structure: 0.85% of average daily net assets up to $1 billion; 0.75% of average daily net assets between $1 billion and $2 billion; 0.70% of average daily next assets over and above $2 billion.

Effective October 1, 2013, the Trust and EGA, advisor to the Beyond BRICs ETF, have entered into a written fee waiver agreement (“Fee Waiver Agreement”) pursuant to which EGA has agreed to waive its advisory fee to 0.58% of the Beyond BRICs ETF Fund’s average daily net assets. The Fee Waiver Agreement will remain in effect and will be contractually binding for two years. The Fee Waiver Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, but may not be terminated by EGA during the term of the Fee Waiver Agreement. The Fee Waiver Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement or, with respect to the Fund, in the event of merger or liquidation of the Fund.

The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the ETFs’ Administrator, Custodian, Fund Accountant and Transfer Agent pursuant to a Fund Administration and Accounting Agreement, a Custody Agreement and a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement, as the case may be.

Since 2009, ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“AFS”), an affiliate of the Distributor, provided a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and an Anti-Money Laundering Officer (“AML Officer”) as well as certain additional compliance support functions under a Compliance Services Agreement. AFS has also provided a Principal Financial Officer to the Trust under a PFO Services Agreement. Effective March 1, 2013, the Board appointed an officer of EGA to serve as Principal Financial Officer to the Trust. Effective September 1, 2014, AFS is no longer providing Compliance or Anti-Money Laundering services to the Trust. An employee of EGA now serves as CCO and AML Officer for the Trust.

10. CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS

The ETFs issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV in blocks of 50,000 shares called “Creation Units.” Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of an ETF.

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

Except as discussed below, the consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of an ETF generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of equity securities, which constitutes a representation of the corresponding Underlying Index and an amount of cash. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of the Brazil Infrastructure ETF, India Consumer ETF, India Infrastructure ETF and India Small Cap ETF consists solely of cash in U.S. dollars. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant ETF for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. This charge is either debited or credited to Paid-in Capital.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
