Significant Accounting Policies

FlexShares® Trust (the “Trust”), which is an investment company, follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) or (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation

Each Fund’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading, based on prices at the time of closing provided that any U.S. fixed-income assets may be valued as of the announced closing time for trading in fixed-income instruments on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association announces an early closing time. The NAV of a Fund is calculated by dividing the value of all assets of the Fund (including accrued interest and dividends), less all liabilities (including accrued expenses and dividends declared but unpaid), by the total number of shares outstanding.

The investments of the Funds are valued at fair value pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds’ investments are valued using market quotations when available. When market quotations are not readily available, are deemed unreliable, or do not reflect material events occurring between the close of local markets and the time of valuation, the Funds value securities at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures as approved by the Board of Trustees. Such circumstances includes periods when trading in a security is suspended, the exchange or market on which a security trades closes early, the trading volume in a security is limited, corporate actions and announcements take place, or regulatory news affecting an issuer is released, such as government approvals. Additionally, the Trust, in its discretion, may make adjustments to the prices of securities held by a Fund if an event occurs after the publication of market values normally used by a Fund but before the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV, depending on the nature and significance of the event, consistent with applicable regulatory guidance

and the Trust’s fair value procedures. Other events that can trigger fair valuing of foreign securities include, for example, significant fluctuations in general market indicators, government actions, or natural disasters.

The use of fair valuation involves the risk that the values used by the Funds to price their investments may be higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a portfolio security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by an index Fund’s underlying index. This difference may adversely affect an index Fund’s ability to track its underlying index. Portfolio securities of certain Funds are listed on foreign exchanges and their value may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or sell Fund shares.

Security prices are generally provided by independent pricing services. Portfolio securities listed or traded on domestic securities exchanges or the NASDAQ/NMS, including dollar-denominated foreign securities or American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), are valued at the closing price, or last sale price, reported on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. The closing price for securities traded on the NASDAQ/NMS is the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, then the value is determined with reference to the last sale price, or the NOCP, if applicable, on any other exchange or system. If there have been no sales of the security for that day on any exchange or system, the security is valued at fair value pursuant to the Trust’s fair value procedures.

Securities that are traded regularly in the over-the-counter market (other than the NASDAQ/NMS), including securities listed on exchanges but primarily traded over-the-counter, are valued on the basis of bid quotes or the mean between the bid and asked quotes based upon quotes furnished by one or more broker-dealers or market makers for those securities. Securities that may be traded over-the-counter include equity securities, fixed-income securities, non-exchange-listed foreign securities, and certain derivative instruments. Fixed-income securities may be valued using prices provided directly from one or more broker-dealers, market makers, or independent third-party pricing services which may use matrix pricing and valuation models, as well as recent market transactions for the same or similar assets, to derive values when such prices are believed to reflect fair

market values of such securities. Such prices may be determined by taking into account securities prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings, prepayment speeds, credit risks, cash flows, institutional size trading in similar groups of securities and developments related to specific securities. Fixed-income securities maturing within a relatively short period, less than 60 days, are valued at amortized cost when it approximates fair value.

Foreign equity securities are generally priced at the closing price or last sales price reported on the foreign exchange on which they are principally traded. If there have been no sales for that day on the primary exchange, then the value is determined with reference to the last sale price on any other exchange. If there have been no sales of the security for that day on any exchange, the security will be valued at fair value pursuant to the Trust’s fair value procedures. Spot and forward foreign currency exchange contracts generally are valued using an independent pricing service. The value of assets denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (“NTI”) as Investment Adviser. Any use of a different rate from the rates used by the index provider may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to track its underlying index. The index provider determines the composition and relative weightings of the securities in the underlying index and publishes information regarding the market value of the underlying index.

Exchange-traded financial futures and options thereon are valued at the settlement price as established by the exchange on which they are traded. Over-the-counter options are valued at broker-provided bid prices, as are swaps. The foregoing prices may be obtained from one or more independent pricing services or, as needed or applicable, independent broker-dealers. If there was no sale on that day, and for other non-exchange traded derivatives, the contract is valued at fair value pursuant to the Trust’s fair value procedures.

Each Fund relies on various sources to calculate its NAV. The ability of the Funds’ administrator to calculate the NAV per share of the Funds is subject to operational risks associated with processing or human errors, systems or technology failures, and errors caused by third party service providers, data sources, or trading counterparties. Such failures may result in delays in the calculation of the Funds’ NAVs and/or the inability to calculate NAV over extended time periods. The Funds may be unable to recover any losses associated with such failures, and it may be necessary for alternative procedures to be followed to price portfolio securities when determining the Funds’ NAVs.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets on the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

 

   

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term debt securities may be valued at amortized cost, as long as amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Securities Lending

Each Fund may lend securities to banks, brokers and dealers or other qualified institutions. In exchange, the Fund is required to receive minimum initial collateral value as follows:

 

Type of Loan

   Minimum Initial
Collateral
Requirement
 

U.S. dollar denominated securities secured by U.S. dollar denominated government securities or cash collateral

     102

U.S. dollar denominated securities secured by non-U.S. dollar denominated government securities or cash collateral

     105

Non-U.S. dollar denominated securities secured by government securities or cash collateral in the same denomination as the lent securities

     102

Non-U.S. dollar denominated securities secured by government securities or cash collateral in the different denomination from the lent securities

     105

U.S. dollar and Non-U.S. dollar denominated securities secured by equity securities collateral

     105

The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. The collateral amount is valued at the beginning of each business day and is compared to the market value of the loaned securities from the prior business day to determine if additional collateral is required. If additional collateral is required, a request is sent to the borrower.

Securities lending may represent no more than one-third of the value of a Fund’s total assets (including the loan collateral). JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Securities Lending Agent”) serves as the securities lending agent for the securities lending program of a Fund.

Collateral for loans of portfolio securities made by a Fund may consist of cash, cash equivalents, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments or its agencies (or any combination thereof). Any cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with these loans may be invested in a variety of short-term investments, either directly or indirectly through money market portfolios. The market value of securities on loan, and the value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund, or excess collateral returned by the Fund, on the next business day.

When a Fund lends its securities, it will continue to receive payments equal to the dividends and interest paid on the securities loaned and simultaneously may earn interest on the investment of the cash collateral.

A Fund will have the right to terminate a loan at any time and recall the loaned securities within the normal and customary settlement time for securities transactions. A Fund does not have the right to vote securities on loan, but can terminate the loan and regain the right to vote if a material event affecting the securities occurred. A borrower might become insolvent or refuse to honor its obligation to return the securities. In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, the Securities Lending Agent will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities for the Fund by applying the collateral held from the defaulting borrower against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If the proceeds from the collateral are less than the purchase cost of the replacement securities, the Securities Lending Agent is responsible for such shortfall, subject to certain limitations that are set forth in detail in the Securities Lending Agency Agreement. In this event, a Fund could experience delays in recovering its securities and possibly may incur a capital loss. Each Fund will be responsible for any loss that might result from its investment of the cash collateral it receives from a borrower.
