FLEXSHARES®US QUALITY LOW VOLATILITY INDEX FUND
ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER REPORT | OCTOBER 31, 2025
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the FlexShares® US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund (the "Fund") for the period of November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025. You can find additional information about the Fund at https://connect.rightprospectus.com/FlexSharesETFs. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1-855-353-9383 or by sending an email request to NorthernTrustETF@acaglobal.com.
This report describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.
What were the Fund costs for the last year?
(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 investmentFootnote Reference* | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investmentFootnote Reference* |

FlexShares® US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund | $10 | 0.10% |
|---|
*Reflects applicable expense reimbursements and fee waivers.
What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the U.S. equity market moved higher. Within the U.S. market higher volatility stocks outperformed lower volatility stocks, leading the Fund to underperform the Russell 1000® Index. The quality factor was positive for the fiscal year, but was not enough to offset the negative performance derived from the low volatility exposure.
The Fund is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Northern Trust Quality Low Volatility IndexSM (“Underlying Index”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in the securities of the Underlying Index.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund’s performance on a net asset value (“NAV”) basis was 10.76%, differing from the 10.85% return of the Underlying Index, which is reflective of the Fund's management fee (-10 basis points, “bps”), stock selection/futures (+3 bps), securities lending (+1 bp) and the compounding effect of tracking error over time (-3 bps).
FLEXSHARES® US QUALITY LOW VOLATILITY INDEX FUND
The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the fund (or for the life of the fund, if shorter). It assumes a $10,000 initial investment at the beginning of the first fiscal year in an appropriate, broad-based securities market index and a style specific index for the same period.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund’s performance on a net asset value (“NAV”) basis was 23.35%, differing from the 23.69% return of the Underlying Index, which is reflective of the Fund's management fee (-57 basis points, “bps”), stock selection/futures (+1 bp), securities lending (+7 bps), dividend tax differential (+7 bps), performance calculation differences between the Underlying Index and the Fund (+4 bps), Indian Capital Gains Taxes (-4 bps), the compounding effect of tracking error over time (-5 bps) and other non-recurring factors (+13 bps).

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in the securities of the Underlying Index.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund’s performance on a net asset value (“NAV”) basis was 15.84%, differing from the 16.28% return of the Underlying Index, which is reflective of the Fund's management fee (-37 basis points, “bps”), stock selection/futures (-3 bps), securities lending (+1 bp), and the compounding effect of tracking error over time (-5 bps).

What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, international equity markets moved higher.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund’s performance on a net asset value (“NAV”) basis was 28.01%, differing from the 28.06% return of the Underlying Index, which is reflective of the Fund's management fee (-47 basis points, “bps”), stock selection/futures (-5 bps), securities lending (+5 bps), dividend tax differential (+20 bps), performance calculation differences between the Underlying Index and the Fund (+1 bp), the compounding effect of tracking error over time (-1 bp), and other non-recurring factors (+22 bps).

What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) inflation breakeven spreads were little changed during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, yet oscillated considerably throughout the period. 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year breakevens declined to a low in April 2025 before trending wider throughout the remaining fiscal year. During the fiscal year, the short-to-intermediate segment of the TIPS yield curve outperformed the broader U.S. bond market.
The Fund is passively managed and seeks to provide investment results (before fees and expenses) of the iBoxx 3-Year Target Duration TIPS Index (“Underlying Index”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in the securities of the Underlying Index.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund's performance on a net asset value ("NAV") basis was 6.26%, differing from the 6.36% return of the Underlying Index, which is reflective of the Fund’s management fee (-18 basis points ("bps")), and small net positive contributions from duration/curve positioning, security selection, and trading costs (+8 bps).

What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) inflation breakeven spreads were little changed during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, yet oscillated considerably throughout the period. 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year breakevens declined to a low in April 2025 before trending wider throughout the remaining fiscal year. During the fiscal year, the broad U.S. TIPS market underperformed the U.S. bond market.
The Fund is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the iBoxx 5-Year Target Duration TIPS Index (“Underlying Index”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in the securities of the Underlying Index.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund's performance on a net asset value ("NAV") basis was 6.89%, differing from the 6.99% return of the Underlying Index, which is reflective of the Fund’s management fee (-18 basis points ("bps")), and small net positive contributions from duration/curve positioning, security selection, trading costs, and other factors (+8 bps).

What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, interest rates declined and the yield curve steepened, which brought the 10-year and 2-year spread from 12 basis points to 50 basis points("bps"). Overall, mortgage-backed security spreads generally tightened throughout the trailing 12-month period. During the fiscal year, the mortgage-backed market, represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Mortgage Backed Securities Index, outperformed the total aggregate bond market, defined by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, by 116 bps. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Mortgage Backed Securities Index by -109 bps due to exposure to a selection of higher coupon, more seasoned mortgage backed securities with a significantly lower overall duration.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund's performance on a net asset value ("NAV") basis was 6.23%, differing from the 6.67% return of the Underlying Index, which is reflective of the Fund’s management fee (-20 bps), trading costs and fees (-20 bps), yield curve positioning (-4 bps), sector allocation (-1 bp), and combined effect of security selection and other factors (+1 bp).

What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
Credit fundamentals remained strong through most of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, with low defaults relative to historical averages, resilient earnings, and manageable leverage levels. The introduction of "reciprocal" tariffs in April 2025 did introduce economic uncertainty, which resulted in spread volatility and widening, but spreads across investment grade and high yield retraced back to tight levels during the remainder of the fiscal year. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Corporate Bond Index return of 7.12% by 8 basis points (“bps”).
The Fund is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Northern Trust US Corporate Bond Quality Value IndexSM (“Underlying Index”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in the securities of the Underlying Index.

What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
Credit fundamentals remained strong through most of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 with low defaults relative to historical averages, resilient earnings, and manageable leverage levels. The introduction of "reciprocal" tariffs in April 2025 did introduce economic uncertainty, which resulted in spread volatility and widening, but spreads across investment grade and high yield retraced back to tight levels during the remainder of the fiscal year. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) performance underperformed the ICE BofA® US High Yield Index return of 8.03% by 54 basis points (“bps”).
The Fund is passively managed and investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Northern Trust High Yield Value-Scored US Corporate Bond IndexSM (“Underlying Index”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in the securities of the Underlying Index.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund's performance on a NAV basis was 7.49%, differing from the 7.93% return of the Underlying Index, which is reflective of the Fund’s management fee (-37 bps), trading costs (-26 bps), sampling and other factors (+19 bps).

*Reflects applicable expense reimbursements and fee waivers.
What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, interest rates declined and the yield curve steepened. Overall, credit performed well as investment grade spreads generally tightened throughout the trailing 12-month period.
The Fund is actively managed and seeks maximum current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in a portfolio of fixed-income instruments, including bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by U.S. and non-U.S. public and private sector entities. Such issuers include, without limitation, U.S. and non-U.S. governments and their agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises, U.S. state and local governments and municipalities and U.S. and non-U.S. private-sector entities, such as corporations and banks.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund’s return of 4.99% outperformed the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index return of 4.44% by 55 basis points, net of fees. During this period, Treasury rates declined as the inflation rate declined and the Federal Open Market Committee continued to normalize monetary policy. The Fund's underweight to Treasuries, as well as its long to duration positioning, contributed to the Fund’s relative outperformance. The Fund’s exposure to the Investment Grade sector contributed to performance.

*Reflects applicable expense reimbursements and fee waivers.
What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, interest rates declined and the yield curve steepened. Credit markets experienced significant volatility in April 2025 driven by tariff related uncertainty, however, investment grade spreads tightened over the fiscal year. Mortgage spreads tightened meaningfully over this period.
The Fund is actively managed and seeks total return and preservation of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade fixed-income securities either directly or indirectly through exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other registered investment companies (together with ETFs, “Underlying Funds”).
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund underperformed the broad fixed income market, as defined by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, by 4 basis points, net of fees. The Fund had an overweight to duration periodically during the year, and this contributed to performance. Additionally, the Fund had a modest overweight to mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) through the 12-month period. Overall, the allocation to MBS had a modest positive effect, which was partially offset by other factors.

Registrant has not amended its Code of Ethics during the period covered by
this report.
|
|
(d)
|
The
Registrant has not granted any waivers, including an implicit waiver, from
any provisions of its Code of Ethics during the period covered by this
report.
|
|
(f)

A copy of
the Registrant’s Code of Ethics is attached as exhibit 13(a)(1) to this Form
N-CSR.
|
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Registrant’s Board of
Trustees has determined that the Registrant has at least one “audit committee
financial expert” (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR), serving on its
audit committee. Philip G. Hubbard is the “audit committee financial expert”
and is “independent” (as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR).
Under applicable securities
laws and regulations, a person who is determined to be an audit committee
financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including
without limitation for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee
financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit
committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties,
obligations, or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations, and
liability imposed on such person as a member of the Registrant’s Audit
Committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or
identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit
committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations or liability
of any other member of the Registrant’s Audit Committee or Board of Trustees.

|
The
Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit Committee is
responsible for the approval of, prior to the appointment of, the engagement
of the principal accountant to annually audit the Registrant’s financial
statements. The Audit Committee must also pre-approve the engagement of the
principal accountant to provide non-audit services to the Registrant, NTI or
to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with NTI
that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, if the engagement has a
direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the Registrant. The
pre-approvals may be delegated to a designated representative (or
representatives) of the audit committee and such pre-approvals and approvals
must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next meeting. Each
designated representative must be a member of the Audit Committee.
|
(e)(2) No percentage of the principal accountant’s fees or services were approved pursuant to the waiver provision of paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) or (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable.

(h) The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to Service Affiliates, not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the registered public accountant’s independence in performing audit services.
(i) Not Applicable.
(j) Not Applicable.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
(a) The Registrant has a separately-designated
standing Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All of the Board’s independent Trustees,
Philip G. Hubbard, Eric T. McKissack and Sarah N. Garvey, are members of the
Audit Committee.
(b) Not

TIPS
—
Treasury
inflation
protected
securities
("TIPS")
are
debt
securities
issued
by
the
US
Treasury
whose
principal
and/or
interest
payments
are
adjusted
for
inflation,
unlike
debt
securities
that
make
fixed
principal
and
interest
payments.
The
interest
rate
paid
by
the
TIPS
is
fixed,
while
the
principal
value
rises
or
falls
based
on
changes
in
a
published
Consumer
Price
Index
(“CPI”).
Thus,
if
inflation
occurs,
the
principal
and
interest
payments
on
the
TIPS
are
adjusted
accordingly
to
protect
investors
from
inflationary
loss. During
a
deflationary
period,
the
principal
and
interest
payments
decrease,
although
the
TIPS
principal
amounts
will
not
drop
below
their
face
amounts
at
maturity.
In
exchange
for
the
inflation
protection,
the
TIPS
generally
pay
lower
interest
rates
than
typical
US
Treasury
securities.
Only
if
inflation
occurs
will
TIPS
offer
a
higher
real
yield
than
a
conventional
Treasury
security
of
the
same
maturity.

Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
Trust,
which
is
an
investment
company,
follows
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
under
Financial
Ac-
counting
Standards
Board
(“FASB”)
Accounting
Stan-
dards
Codification
Topic
946,
“Financial
Services-In-
vestment
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.
GAAP”).
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
conformity
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
report-
ed
amounts

(cont.)
Investment
Valuation
Each
Fund’s
net
asset
value
(“NAV”)
is
determined
dai-
ly
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
Mar-
kets
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
div-
idends),
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
Trust’s
Board
of
Trustees
(“Board”).
The
Funds’
investments
are
valued
using
market
quotations
when
available.
The
Board
has
designated
NTI
as
the
valua-
tion
designee
pursuant
to
Rule
2a-5
under
the
1940
Act
to
perform
fair
value
determinations
relating
to
any
or
all
Fund
investments.
Accordingly,
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,
NTI
values
Fund
securities
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
in
accordance
with
the
Funds’
fair
value
pricing
proce-
dures
as
approved
by
the
Board.
Such
circumstances
include
periods
when
trading
in
a
security
is
suspend-
ed,
the
exchange
or
market
on
which
a
security
trades
closes
early,
the
trading
volume
in
a
security
is
limit-
ed,
corporate
actions
and
announcements
take
place,
or
regulatory
news
affecting
an
issuer
is
released,
such
as
government
approvals.
The
Board
oversees
NTI
in
its
role
as
valuation
designee
in
accordance
with
the
requirements
of
Rule
2a-5
under
the
1940
Act.
Addi-
tionally,
NTI,
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
NTI
on
behalf
of
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
fluctu-
ations
in
general
market
indicators,
government
actions,
or
natural
disasters.
The
use
of
fair
valuation
involves
the
risk
that
the
values
used
by
NTI
to
price
a
Fund’s
investments
may
be
high-
er
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
portfo-
lio
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
an
Index
Fund’s
NAV
and
the
prices
used
by
an
Index
Fund’s
Underly-
ing
Index.
This
difference
may
adversely
affect
an
Index
Fund’s
ability
to
track
its
Underlying
Index.
Portfolio
se-
curities
of
certain
Funds
are
listed
on
foreign
exchanges
and
their
values
may
change
on
days
when
sharehold-
ers
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),
includ-
ing
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-in-
come
securities
may
be
valued
using
prices
provided
di-
rectly
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
re-
cent
market
transactions
for
the
same
or
similar
assets,
to
derive
values
when
such
prices
are
believed
to
reflect
321
FLEXSHARES
ANNUAL
REPORT
Notes
to
the
Financial
Statements
(cont.)
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
ex-
change,
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
ex-
change,
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
val-
ued
using
an
independent
pricing
service.
The
value
of
assets
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
is
converted
into
U.S.
dollars
using
exchange
rates
deemed
appro-
priate
by
NTI
as
Investment
Adviser.
Any
use
of
a
differ-
ent
rate
from
the
rates
used
by
an
Underlying
Index’s
index
provider
may
adversely
affect
an
Index
Fund’s
ability
to
track
its
Underlying
Index.
An
Underlying
In-
dex’s
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
de-
rivatives,
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
operation-
al
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
cal-
culate
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
proce-
dures
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
ob-
tained
from
a
quoted
price
in
an
active
market,
such
se-
curities
are
reflected
as
Level
2.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
valuations
as
of
Oc-
tober
31,
2025 for
each
Fund
based
upon
the
three
lev-
els
defined
above.
The
value
of
Level
3
securities
com-
pared
to
the
total
Fund
net
assets
is
not
material
and,
therefore,
the
reconciliation
of
Level
3
securities
and
related
valuation
techniques
are
not
disclosed.
Please
refer
to
the
Schedules
of
Investments
to
view
equity
and
debt
securities
segregated
by
industry
type,
where
ap-
plicable.

include
direct
in-
vestments
in
non-U.S.
dollar
denominated
securities
traded
outside
the
U.S.
The
Funds’
investments
in
for-
eign
securities
also
may
be
in
the
form
of
ADRs
and
Global
Depositary
Receipts
(“GDRs”)
(collectively,
“De-
positary
Receipts”)
based
on
securities
in
their
Under-
lying
Indexes.
ADRs
are
receipts
that
are
traded
in
the
United
States
evidencing
ownership
of
the
underlying
foreign
securities
and
are
denominated
in
U.S.
dollars.
GDRs
are
receipts
issued
by
a
non-U.S.
financial
in-
stitution
evidencing
ownership
of
underlying
foreign
or
U.S.
securities
and
usually
are
denominated
in
foreign
currencies.
GDRs
may
not
be
denominated
in
the
same
currency
as
the
securities
they
represent.
Generally,
GDRs
are
designed
for
use
in
foreign
securities
mar-
kets.
In
addition
to
investment
risks
associated
with
the
un-
derlying
issuer,
ADRs
and
GDRs
expose
a
Fund
to
risk
associated
with
non-uniform
terms
that
apply
to
ADR
and
GDR
programs,
credit
exposure
to
the
depository
bank
and
to
the
sponsors
and
other
parties
with
whom
the
depository
bank
establishes
the
programs,
currency
and
liquidity
risk.
ADRs
and
GDRs
are
generally
subject
to
the
same
risks
as
the
foreign
securities
that
they
evi-
dence
or
into
which
they
may
be
converted.
To
the
extent
a
Fund
invests
in
ADRs,
such
ADRs
will
be
listed
on
a
national
securities
exchange.
To
the
extent
a
Fund
invests
in
GDRs,
such
GDRs
will
be
listed
on
a
foreign
exchange.
A
Fund
will
not
invest
in
any
unlist-
ed
Depositary
Receipt,
any
Depositary
Receipt
that
NTI
deems
to
be
illiquid
or
any
Depositary
Receipt
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available.
Generally,
all
Depositary
Receipts
must
be
sponsored.

FLEXSHARES
ANNUAL
REPORT
Notes
to
the
Financial
Statements
(cont.)
foreign
governments.
Investing
in
foreign
securities,
including
Depositary
Re-
ceipts,
may
result
in
a
Fund
experiencing
more
rapid
and
extreme
changes
in
value
than
a
fund
that
invests
exclusively
in
U.S.
securities,
due
to
less
liquid
markets,
and
adverse
economic,
political,
diplomatic,
financial,
and
regulatory
factors.
Foreign
governments
also
may
impose
taxes
and
limits
on
investment
and
repatriation.
Any
of
these
events
could
cause
the
value
of
a
Fund’s
foreign
investment
to
decline.
To
the
extent
that
a
Fund’s
assets
are
significantly
invested
in
a
single
country
or
geographic
region,
a
Fund
will
be
subject
to
the
risks
associated
with
that
particular
country
or
region.
Certain Funds
may
invest their
assets
in
emerging
mar-
ket
countries.
The
markets
of
emerging
market
countries
are
less
developed
and
less
liquid,
subject
to
greater
price
volatility
and
generally
subject
to
increased
eco-
nomic,
political,
regulatory
and
other
uncertainties
than
more
developed
foreign
markets.
The
risks
of
foreign
investment
are
increased
when
the
issuer
is
located
in
a
country
with
an
emerging
economy
or
securities
market.
Inflation-Indexed
Securities
Certain
Funds
may
invest in
U.S.
Treasury
Inflation-Pro-
tected
Securities
(“TIPS”).
TIPS
have
varying
maturities
and
pay
interest
on
a
semiannual
basis
equal
to
a
fixed
percentage
of
the
in-
flation
adjusted
principal
amount.
If
the
periodic
adjust-
ment
rate
measuring
inflation
falls,
the
principal
value
of
TIPS
will
be
adjusted
downward,
and
consequently
the
interest
payable
on
these
securities
(calculated
with
respect
to
a
smaller
principal
amount)
will
be
reduced.
Repayment
of
the
original
bond
principal
upon
maturity
(as
adjusted
for
inflation)
is
guaranteed
in
the
case
of
TIPS,
even
during
a
period
of
deflation.
The
value
of
TIPS
is
expected
to
change
in
response
to
changes
in
real
interest
rates.
Real
interest
rates
in
turn
are
tied
to
the
relationship
between
nominal
interest
rates
and
the
rate
of
inflation.
Therefore,
if
the
rate
of
inflation
rises
at
a
faster
rate
than
nominal
interest
rates,
real
interest
rates
might
decline,
leading
to
an
increase
in
value
of
TIPS.
In
contrast,
if
nominal
interest
rates
increase
at
a
faster
rate
than
inflation,
real
interest
rates
might
rise,
leading
to
a
decrease
in
value
of
TIPS.
Any
increase
in
the
principal
amount
of
TIPS
will
be
consid-
ered
taxable
ordinary
income,
even
though
investors
do
not
receive
their
principal
until
maturity.
While
these
securities
are
expected
to
be
protected
from
long-term
inflationary
trends,
short-term
increas-
es
in
inflation
may
lead
to
a
decline
in
value.
If
interest
rates
rise
due
to
reasons
other
than
inflation,
investors
in
these
securities
may
not
be
protected
to
the
extent
that
the
increase
is
not
reflected
in
the
TIPS’
inflation
measure.
The
periodic
adjustment
of
TIPS
is
tied
to
the
Consum-
er
Price
Index
for
Urban
Consumers
(“CPI-U”),
which
is
calculated
monthly
by
the
U.S.
Bureau
of
Labor
Statis-
tics.
The
CPI-U
is
a
measurement
of
changes
in
the
cost
of
living,
made
up
of
components
such
as
housing,
food,
transportation
and
energy.
There
can
be
no
assurance
that
the
CPI-U
will
accurately
measure
the
real
rate
of
inflation
in
the
prices
of
goods
and
services.
Mortgage-Backed
Pass-Through
Securi-
ties
The
FlexShares
®
Disciplined
Duration
MBS
Index
Fund
invests
primarily
in
U.S.
agency
mortgage-backed
pass-
through
securities
(“MBS”),
a
category
of
pass-through
securities
backed
by
pools
of
mortgages
and
issued
by
one
of
the
following
U.S.
government
agencies:
the
Federal
National
Mortgage
Association
(FNMA
or
Fannie
Mae),
the
Federal
Home
Loan
Mortgage
Cor-
poration
(FHLMC
or
Freddie
Mac)
or
the
Government
National
Mortgage
Association
(GNMA
or
Ginnie
Mae)
(each
a
“US
Agency”). Certain
Index
Funds
will
invest in
the
securities
of such
Index
Fund's Underlying
Index
and
in
“to-be
announced
transactions”
(“TBA
transac-
tions”)
that
represent
securities
in
its
Underlying
Index.
In
a
TBA
transaction,
the
buyer
and
seller
agree
upon
general
trade
parameters
such
as
agency,
coupon
rate,
settlement
date,
par
amount
and
price.
The
actual
pools
delivered
generally
are
determined
two
days
prior
to
settlement.
Mortgage
Dollar
Rolls
Certain
Funds may
enter
into
mortgage
dollar
roll
trans-
actions.
A
mortgage
dollar
roll
involves
the
sale
by
the
Fund
of
securities
for
delivery
in
the
future
(generally
within
30
days).
The
Fund
simultaneously
contracts
with
the
same
counterparty
to
repurchase
substantially
sim-
ilar
(same
type,
coupon
and
maturity)
but
not
identical
securities
on
a
specified
future
date.
During
the
roll
pe-
riod,
the
Fund
will
not
be
entitled
to
accrue
interest
and
FLEXSHARES
ANNUAL
REPORT
332
Notes
to
the
Financial
Statements
(cont.)
receive
principal
payments
on
the
securities
sold.
How-
ever,
the
Fund
benefits
to
the
extent
of
any
difference
between
(a)
the
price
received
for
the
securities
sold
and
(b)
the
lower
forward
price
for
the
future
purchase
and/or
fee
income
plus
the
interest
earned
on
the
cash
proceeds
of
the
securities
sold.
Successful
use
of
mort-
gage
dollar
rolls
depends
upon
the
Investment
Adviser’s
ability
to
predict
correctly
interest
rates
and
mortgage
prepayments.
The
use
of
this
technique
may
diminish
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund
compared
with
what
such
performance
would
have
been
without
the
use
of
mortgage
dollar
rolls.
For
financial
reporting
and
tax
purposes,
a
Fund
treats
mortgage
dollar
rolls
as
two
separate
transactions:
one
involving
the
purchase
of
a
security
and
a
separate
transaction
involving
a
sale.
The
Fund
currently
does
not
intend
to
enter
into
mortgage
dollar
rolls
that
are
accounted
for
as
financing
and
does
not
treat
them
as
borrowings.
Repurchase
Agreements
To
the
extent
consistent
with
its
investment
policies,
each
Fund
may
enter
into
repurchase
agreements
un-
der
which
it
purchases
securities
(collateral)
for
cash
from
a
seller
and
agrees
to
resell
those
securities
to
the
same
seller
within
a
specified
time
at
a
specified
price.
During
the
term
of
a
repurchase
agreement,
the
market
value
of
the
underlying
collateral,
including
accrued
in-
terest,
is
required
to
equal
or
exceed
the
market
value
of
the
repurchase
agreement.
The
underlying
collateral
for
tri-party
repurchase
agreements
is
held
in
accounts
at
JPMorgan
Chase,
the
Fund’s
custodian,
and
is
not
reflected
in
the
assets
of
the
Funds,
at
the
Bank
of
New
York
or
JPMorgan
Chase
which,
in
turn,
holds
securities
through
the
book-entry
system
at
the
Federal
Reserve
Bank
of
New
York.
The
Fund
is
subject
to
credit
risk
on
repurchase
agreements
to
the
extent
that
the
counter-
party
fails
to
perform
under
the
agreement
and
the
value
of
the
collateral
received
falls
below
the
agreed
repur-
chase
price.
The
Northern
Trust
Company,
the
parent
of
NTI,
current-
ly
is
a
party
to
various
Master
Repurchase
Agreements
with
a
number
of
different
counterparties,
and
acts
as
agent
on
behalf
of
various
disclosed
principals,
includ-
ing
the
Funds
and
various
other
accounts
managed
by
NTI,
in
entering
into
repurchase
agreements
under
the
Master
Repurchase
Agreements.
NTI
administers
and
manages
these
repurchase
agreements
in
accordance
with
and
as
part
of
its
duties
under
its
investment
ad-
visory
agreement
with
the
Funds
and
does
not
collect
any
additional
fees
from
the
Funds
for
such
services.
As

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
de-
termine
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
for-
eign
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
vari-
ety
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
Sched-
ules
of
Investments.
Securities
lending
income
includes
income
from
the
securities
lending
program
recorded
when
earned
from
the
Securities
Lending
Agent
and
any
fees
charged
to
borrowers
less
expenses
associated
with
the
loan.
The
net
amount
is
reflected
in
the
State-
ments
of
Operations
under
“Securities
lending
income
(net
of
fees).”
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
re-
ceive
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
bor-
rower
might
become
insolvent
or
refuse
to
honor
its
ob-
ligation
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
pro-
vided
under
the
applicable
borrower
agreement.
These
remedies
include
purchasing
replacement
securities
for
the
Fund
by
applying
the
collateral
held
from
the
de-
faulting
borrower
against
the
purchase
cost
of
the
re-
placement
securities.
If

the

subject
to
certain

that
are
set
forth
in
detail
in
the

ment.
In
this
event,
a
Fund
could
experience
delays
in
recovering
its
securities
and
possibly
may
incur
a
capi-
tal
loss.
Each
Fund
will
be
responsible
for
any
loss
that
might
result
from
its

of
the
cash
collateral
it
receives
from
a

ANNUAL
REPORT

Notes
to
the
Financial
Statements
(cont.)
As
of
October
31,
2025,
the
Securities
Lending
Agency
Agreement
does
not
permit
the
Funds
to
enforce
a
net-
ting
arrangement.
The
cash
collateral
received
from
securities
loaned
as
disclosed
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
is
collateralized
by
securities
on
loan
as
disclosed
with-
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments
and
such
borrowings
have
maturities
that
are
overnight
and
continuous.
Securities
lending
agreements
may
be
subject
to
regu-
lation
as
qualified
financial
contracts
(“QFCs”).
Regula-
tions
adopted
by
federal
banking
regulators
under
the
Dodd-Frank
Act,
which
took
effect
in
2019,
require
that
certain
QFCs
with
counterparties
that
are
part
of
U.S.
or
foreign
global
systemically
important
banking
organiza-
tions
be
amended
to
include
contractual
restrictions
on
close-out
and
cross-default
rights.
If
a
covered
counter-
party
of
a
Fund
or
certain
of
the
covered
counterparty's
affiliates
were
to
become
subject
to
certain
insolvency
proceedings,
the
Fund
may
be
temporarily
unable
to
ex-
ercise
certain
default
rights,
and
the
QFC
may
be
trans-
ferred
to
another
entity.
These
requirements
may
impact
a
Fund's
credit
and
counterparty
risks.
The
remaining
maturities
of
the
securities
lending
transactions
are
con-
sidered
overnight
and
continuous.
Derivative
Contracts
Futures
Contracts
All
of
the
Index
Funds
may
invest
in
futures
contracts
to
help
track
the
price
and
yield
performance
of
their
Underlying
Indexes.
At
the
time
a
Fund
enters
into
a
futures
contract,
it
is
generally
required
to
make
a
mar-
gin
deposit
with
the
custodian
of
a
specified
amount
of
liquid
assets.
Subsequent
payments
to
be
made
or
received
by
the
Funds
equal
to
the
change
in
contract
value
are
recorded
as
variation
margin
payable
or
re-
ceivable
and
offset
in
unrealized
gains
or
losses.
Fu-
tures
are
marked
to
market
each
day
with
the
change
in
value
reflected
in
the
unrealized
gains
or
losses.
A
Fund
recognizes
a
realized
gain
or
loss
when
a
contract
is
closed
or
expires.
The
Statements
of
Operations
reflect
unrealized
gains
or
losses
on
open
futures
contracts,
as
“Net
change
in
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
futures
contracts”,
and
any
realized
gains
(losses)
on
closed
futures
contracts
as
“Net
realized
gain
(loss)
from
Expiration
or
closing
of
futures
contracts”.
Certain
Funds may
take
long
or
short
positions
in
fu-
tures
to
manage
the
Fund’s
exposure
to
interest
rate
risk.
The
Fund
seeks
to
mitigate
the
potential
impact
of
interest
rates
on
the
performance
of
bonds
by
entering
into
short
positions
in
U.S.
Treasury
futures
or
transac-
tions
in
interest
rate
swaps.
The
Fund’s
short
positions
in
U.S.
Treasury
futures
and
interest
rate
swaps
are
not
intended
to
mitigate
credit
spread
risk
or
other
factors
influencing
the
price
of
bonds,
which
may
have
a
great-
er
impact
than
interest
rates.
In
addition,
when
interest
rates
fall,
long-only
bond
investments
will
perform
better
than
the
Fund’s
investments.

Statements
(cont.)
futures
contracts;
the
possible
inability
to
close
a
futures
contract
when
desired;
losses
due
to
unanticipated
mar-
ket
movements,
which
potentially
are
unlimited;
and
the
possible
inability
of
NTI
to
correctly
predict
the
direction
of
securities
prices,
interest
rates,
currency
exchange
rates
and
other
economic
factors.
Futures
markets
are
highly
volatile
and
the
use
of
futures
may
increase
the
volatility
of
a
Fund’s
NAV.
As
a
result
of
the
low
margin
deposits
normally
required
in
futures
trading,
a
relatively
small
price
movement
in
a
futures
contract
may
result
in
substantial
losses
to
a
Fund.
Futures
contracts
may
be
illiquid,
and
exchanges
may
limit
fluctuations
in
futures
contract
prices
during
a
single
day.
Foreign
exchanges
or
boards
of
trade
generally
do
not
offer
the
same
pro-
tection
as
U.S.
exchanges.
Foreign
Currency
Translations
Values
of
investments
denominated
in
foreign
curren-
cies
are
converted
into
U.S.
dollars
using
the
prevailing
market
rates
on
the
date
of
valuation
as
quoted
by
one
or
more
banks
or
dealers
that
make
a
two-way
market
in
such
currencies
(or
a
data
service
provider
based
on
quotations
received
from
such
banks
or
dealers).
Any
use
of
a
rate
different
from
the
rates
used
by
an
Underlying
Index’s
index
provider
may
affect
the
cor-
responding
Index
Fund’s
ability
to
track
its
Underlying
Index.
The
cost
of
purchases
and
proceeds
from
sales
of
investments,
interest
and
dividend
income
are
trans-
lated
into
U.S.
dollars
using
the
spot
market
rate
of
ex-
change
prevailing
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
trans-
actions.
“Net

of
Operations
include
the

of

between

on

security
trans-

is
included
in
“Net

on
the
Statements
of
Oper-
ations.
Unrealized
gains
and
losses
on
assets
and
lia-
bilities,
other
than
investments
in
securities,
which
result
from
changes
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
have
been
included
in
“Net
change
in
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on

of

assets
and
liabil-
ities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies”
on
the
State-
ments
of

Forward
Foreign
Currency
Exchange
Con-
tracts
Certain
Funds may
enter
into
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
to
facilitate
local
settlements,
or
to
protect
against
currency
exposure
in
connection
with
its
distributions
to
shareholders
and
in
order
to
protect
against
uncertainty
in
the
level
of
future
foreign
currency
exchange
rates.
The
Funds,
however,
do
not
expect
to
engage
in
currency
transactions
for
speculative
purpos-
es
(e.g.,
for
potential
income
or
capital
gain).
All
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
held
are
“marked-
to-market”
daily
at
the
applicable
exchange
rates
and
any
resulting
unrealized
gains
or
losses
are
recorded.
The
Funds
record
realized
gains
or
losses
at
the
time
the
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contract
is
offset
by
entering
into
a
closing
transaction
or
extinguished
by
delivery
of
the
currency.
The
difference
between
the
future
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
at
the
date
of
entry
into
the
contract
and
the
rates
at
the
reporting
date
are
included
in
“Net
change
in
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
forward
foreign
currency
contracts”
in
the
Statements
of
Operations.
Non-deliverable
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
settled
with
the
counterparty
in
U.S.
Dollars
without
the
delivery
of
for-
eign
currency.
There
are
several
risks
associated
with
these
contracts.
One
risk
is
the
potential
inability
of
counterparties
to
meet
the
terms
of
their
contracts,
and
unanticipated
movements
in
the
value
of
a
foreign
currency
relative
to
the
U.S.
dollar.
The
contractual
amounts
of
forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
do
not
necessarily
represent
the
amounts
potentially
subject
to
risk.
The
measurement
of
the
risks
associated
with
these
instru-
ments
is
meaningful
only
when
all
related
and
offsetting
transactions
are
considered.
The
Statements
of
Oper-
ations
reflect
(i)
realized
gains
or
losses,
if
any,
in
“Net
realized
gain
(loss)
from
settlement
of
forward
foreign
currency
contracts”
and
(ii)
unrealized
gains
or
losses
in
“Net
change
in
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
forward
foreign
currency
contracts”.
Forward
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
privately
negotiated
transactions
and
can
have
substantial
price
volatility.
As
a
result,
they
offer
less
protection
against
default
by
the
other
party
than
is
available
for
instruments
traded
on
an
exchange.
The
institutions
that
deal
in
forward
for-
eign
currency
exchange
contracts
are
not
required
to
continue
to
make
markets
in
the
currencies
they
trade,
and
these
markets
can
experience
periods
of
illiquidity.

TBA Transactions
Certain
Funds
may
seek
to
obtain
exposure
to
U.S.
agency
mortgage-backed
pass-through
securities,
in
whole
or
in
part,
through
the
use
of
TBA
transactions.
In
a
TBA
transaction,
the
buyer
and
seller
agree
upon
general
trade
parameters
such
as
agency,
coupon
rate,
settlement
date,
par
amount
and
price.
The
actual
pools
delivered
generally
are
determined
two
days
prior
to
the
settlement
date.
The
Fund
may
use
TBA
transactions
in
several
ways.
For
example,
the
Fund
may
regularly
enter
into
TBA
agreements
and
“roll
over”
such
agree-
ments
prior
to
the
settlement
date
stipulated
in
such
agreements.
This
type
of
TBA
transaction
is
sometimes
known
as
a
“TBA
Roll.”
In
a
TBA
Roll,
the
Fund
general-
ly
will
sell
the
obligation
to
purchase
the
pools
stipulated
in
the
TBA
agreement
prior
to
the
stipulated
settlement
date
and
will
enter
into
a
new
TBA
agreement
for
future
delivery
of
pools
of
mortgage-backed
pass-through
se-
curities.
In
addition,
the
Fund
may
enter
into
TBA
agreements
and
settle
such
transactions
on
the
stipulated
settle-
ment
date
by
accepting
actual
receipt
or
delivery
of
the
pools
of
mortgage-backed
securities
stipulated
in
the
TBA
agreement.
Pending
settlement
of
such
contracts,
the
Fund
may
cover
its
payment
obligations
at
settle-
ment
by
investing
its
assets
in
liquid,
short-term
instru-
ments
or
cash
equivalents,
or
designate
other
liquid
se-
curities,
which
will
be
marked
to
market
daily.
The
Fund
may
also
cover
its
payment
obligations
at
settlement
by
investing
in
shares
of
money
market
funds
advised
by
NTI
or
its
affiliates,
which
will
result
in
the
Fund
assum-
ing
its
pro
rata
share
of
the
fees
and
expenses
of
the
money
market
funds
in
addition
to
the
Fund’s
own
fees
and
expenses.
TBA
Transactions
investments
involve
the
risk
of
loss
if
the
securities
received
are
less
favorable
than
what
was
anticipated
by
the
Fund
when
entering
into
the
TBA
transaction.
TBA
transactions
also
involve
the
risk
that
the
counterparty
will
fail
to
deliver
the
securities,
expos-
ing
the
Fund
to
further
losses.
Default
or
bankruptcy
of
a
counterparty
to
a
TBA
transaction
would
expose
the
Fund
to
possible
losses
because
of
adverse
market
action,
expenses
or
delays
in
connection
with
the
pur-
chase
or
sale
of
the
pools
of
mortgage
pass-through
se-
curities
specified
in
the
TBA
transaction.
Whether
or
not
the
Fund
takes
delivery
of
the
securities
at
the
termina-
tion
date
of
a
TBA
transaction,
the
Fund
will
nonetheless
be
exposed
to
changes
in
the
value
of
the
underlying
investments
during
the
term
of
the
agreement.
Offsetting
of
Financial
Assets
and
Deriva-
tive
Assets
The
Funds’
accounting
policy
with
respect
to
balance
sheet
offsetting
is
that,
absent
an
event
of
default
by
the
counterparty
or
a
termination
of
the
agreement,
the
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association
(ISDA)
Master
Agreement
or
similar
agreement
does
not
result
in
an
offset
of
reported
amounts
of
financial
assets
and
financial
liabilities
in
the
Statements
of
Assets
and
Lia-
bilities
across
transactions
between
the
Fund
and
the
applicable

ANNUAL
REPORT
Notes
to
the
Financial
Statements
(cont.)
Activity
for
the
fiscal
period
is
measured
by
the
number
of
trades
during
the
fiscal
year
and
average
notional
amount
for
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts,
equity
futures
contracts
and
interest
rate
contracts.
Taxes
and
Distributions
Each
Fund
has
qualified
and
intends
to
continue
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
by
comply-
ing
with
the
requirements
under
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
which
in-
cludes
distributing
substantially
all
of
its
net
investment
income
and
net
capital
gains
to
shareholders.
Accord-
ingly,
no
provision
for
federal
and
state
income
taxes
is
required
in
the
financial
statements.
As
of
October
31,
2025,
management
of
the
Funds
has
reviewed
all
open
tax
years
and
major
jurisdictions
and
concluded
that
there
is
no
tax
liability
resulting
from
un-
recognized
tax
benefits
relating
to
uncertain
income
tax
positions
taken
or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
re-
turns.
The
Funds
are
also
not
aware
of
any
tax
positions
for
which
it
is
reasonably
possible
that
the
total
amounts
of
unrecognized
tax
benefits
will
significantly
change
in
the
next
12
months.
On
an
ongoing
basis
management
will
monitor
the
tax
positions
taken
to
determine
if
ad-
justment
to
conclusions
are
necessary
based
on
factors
including
but
not
limited
to
further
implementation
on
guidance
expected
from
FASB
and
on-going
analysis
of
tax
law,
regulation,
and
interpretations
thereof.
Dividends
from
net
investment
income,
including
any
net
foreign
currency
gains,
are
generally
declared
and
paid
by
each
Fund
according
to
the
following

ANNUAL
REPORT
348
Notes
to
the
Financial
Statements
(cont.)
Distribution
of
net
realized
securities
gains,
if
any,
gen-
erally
are
distributed
at
least
annually.
The
Trust
re-
serves
the
right
to
declare
special
distributions
if,
in
its
reasonable
discretion,
such
action
is
necessary
or
ad-
visable
to
improve
tracking
error,
to
preserve
its
status
as
a
regulated
investment
company
or
to
avoid
imposi-
tion
of
income
or
excise
taxes
on
undistributed
income
or
realized
gains.
Tracking
error
is
a
measurement
of
how
much
the
return
on
a
portfolio
deviates
from
the
return
on
its
benchmark
index.
Dividends
and
securities
gains
distributions
are
distrib-
uted
in
U.S.
dollars
and
cannot
be
automatically
rein-
vested
in
additional
shares
of
the
Funds.
The
amount
of
distributions
from
net
investment
income
and
net
re-
alized
gains
are
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
GAAP.
These
“book/tax”
differences
are
either
considered
temporary
or
permanent
in
nature.
To
the
extent
these
differences
are
permanent
in
nature,
such
amounts
are
reclassified
within
the
composition
of
net
assets
based
on
their
federal
tax-basis
treatment.
The
Funds
may
uti-
lize
equalization
accounting
for
tax
purposes
and
des-
ignate
earnings
and
profits,
including
net
realized
gains
distributed
to
shareholders
on
redemption
of
shares,
as
a
part
of
the
dividends
paid
deduction
for
income
tax
purposes.
The
Funds’
tax
year
end
is
October
31st
and
the
tax
character
of
current
year
distributions
and
cur-
rent
components
of
accumulated
earnings
(deficit)
will
be
determined
at
the
end
of
the
current
tax
year.
Temporary
differences
are
generally
due
to
different
book
and
tax
treatments
for
the
timing
of
the
recognition
of
gains
and
losses
on
certain
investment
transactions,
mark
to
market
of
forward
foreign
currency
contracts,
mark
to
market
of
futures
contracts,
mark
to
market
of
passive
foreign
investment
companies
(“PFICs”),
non-taxable
special
dividends,
wash
sale
loss
deferrals
and
capital
loss
carryforward.
Permanent
differences,
primarily
due
to
gain
(loss)
on
in-kind
redemptions,
paydown
loss
reclassification,
for-
eign
currency
gains
and
losses,
forward
foreign
currency
gains
and
losses,
PFICs
gains
and
losses,
non-taxable
special
dividends,
investments
in
partnerships,
taxable
over-distributions,
foreign
capital
gains

tion,

and

as
of
October
31,

Throughout
the
reporting
period,
investment
transac-
tions
are
accounted
for
no
later
than
one
business
day
following
the
trade
date.
For
financial
reporting
purpos-

are
accounted
for
on
the
trade
date
on
the
last
business
day
of
the

riod.
Interest

is
recognized
on
an
accrual
basis.
Bond

accreted
and

amortized
using
the
effective

method.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date,
or
as
soon
as
information
is
available.
Gains
or
losses
realized
on
sales
of
securities
are
determined
using
the
specific
identification
method
by
comparing
the
identified

sold
with
the

Fund,
and
the

®
iBoxx
5-Year

Fund
may
hold
the
securities
of
real

investment
trusts
(“REITs”).
Dis-
tributions
from
such
investments
may
be
comprised
of
return
of
capital,
capital
gains
and
income.
The
actual
character
of
amounts
received
during
the
year
is
not
known
until
after
the
REIT’s
fiscal
year
end.
The
Fund
records
the
character
of
distributions
received
from
RE-
ITs
during
the
year
based
on
estimates
available.
The
characterization
of
distributions
received
by
the
Fund
may
be
subsequently
revised
based
on
information
re-
ceived
from
the
REITs
after
their
tax
reporting
periods
concluded.
All
foreign
taxes
are
recorded
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
foreign
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
markets
in
which
a
Fund
invests.
These
for-
eign
taxes,
if
any,
are
paid
by
the
Funds
and
disclosed
in
the
Statements
of
Operations.
Foreign
taxes
payable,
if
any,
are
reflected
in
the
Funds’
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Expenses
directly
attributable
to
a
Fund
are
charged
to
that
Fund,
while
expenses
which
are
attributable
to
more
than
one
Fund
are
allocated
among
the
respec-
tive
Funds
based
upon
relative
net
assets
or
another
reasonable
basis.

Investment
Advisory
Fees
NTI
serves
as
the
Investment
Adviser
of
the
Funds
pur-
suant
to
the
Investment
Advisory
Agreement.
The
In-
vestment
Adviser
is
responsible
for
making
investment
decisions
for
the
Funds
and
for
placing
purchase
and
sale
orders
for
portfolio
securities,
subject
to
the
general
supervision
of
the
Board.
As
compensation
for
its
advisory
services
and
assump-
tion
of
certain
Fund
expenses,
NTI
is
entitled
to
a
unitary
management
fee
(“Management
Fee”),
computed
daily
and
payable
monthly,
at
the
annual
rates
set
forth
in
the
table
below
(expressed
as
a
percentage
of
each
Fund’s
respective
average
daily
net
assets).
From
the

not
include
the

under
the
Investment
Ad-
visory
Agreement:
its
advisory
fees
payable
under
the
Advisory

and
expenses
paid
by
the
Trust
under
any

adopted
pursuant
to
Rule

other
extraordinary
costs
such
as
(i)
dividend
expenses
on

(ii)
non-routine
items,
including
litigation
expenses
and
proxy
expenses;
and
(iii)
expenses
that
the
Fund
has
in-
curred
but
did
not
actually
pay
due
to
an
expense
offset
agreement,
if
applicable.
The
Management
Fee
rate
payable
by
each
Fund
is
set
forth
in
the
following
table:
The
Investment
Adviser
has
contractually
agreed
to
reimburse
a
portion
of
the
operating
expenses
of
each
Fund
(other
than
Rule
12b-1
fees,
tax
expenses,
ex-
traordinary
expenses,
and
acquired

fees
and

Reimbursement”
do

Fee
plus

0.0049%.
In
the
case
of
the
FlexShares
®
Core
Select
Bond
Fund,
the
Investment
Adviser
has
contractually
agreed
to
waive
Management
Fees
or
reimburse
certain
expenses
in
an
amount
equal
to
the
sum
of
(a)
any
AFFE
incurred
by
the
Fund
that
are
attributable
to
the
Fund’s
investment
in
Underlying
Funds
managed
by
NTI
or
an
investment
adviser
controlling,
controlled
by,
or
under
common
control
with
NTI
(“Affiliated
Funds”);
and
(b)
0.05%
or
such
lesser
amount
in
AFFE
incurred
by
the
Fund
that
are
attributable
to
the
Fund’s
investment
in
Underlying
Funds
that
are
not
Affiliated
Funds.
AFFE
are
expenses
incurred
indirectly
by
the
Fund
through
its
ownership
of
shares
in
other
investment
companies.
Because
AFFE
are
not
direct
expenses
of
a
Fund,
they
are
not
reflected
on
a
Fund’s
financial
statements.
The
contractual
ex-
pense
reimbursement
arrangements
are
expected
to
continue
until
at
least
March
1,
2026
and
will
continue
automatically
thereafter
for
periods
of
one
year
unless
terminated,
as
to
any
succeeding
renewal
year,
by
ei-
ther
party
upon
60
days’
written
notice
prior

Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
In
the
normal
course
of
business
each
Fund
enters
into
contracts
with
third-party
service
providers
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
and
warranties
and
that
provide
general
indemnifications.
Additionally,
under
the
Funds’
organizational
documents,
the
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Funds.
The
Funds’
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown,
as
it
involves
possible
future
claims
that
may
or
may
not
be
made
against
the
Funds.
13.
Operating
Segments
During
the
reporting
period,
the
Funds
adopted
FASB
Accounting
Standards
Update
(ASU)
2023-07,
Segment
Reporting
(Topic
280)-
Improvements
to
Reportable
Segment
Disclosures
(“ASU
2023-07”).
Adoption
of
the
new
standard
impacted
financial
statement
disclosures
only
and
did
not
affect
each
Fund’s
financial
position
or
the
results
of
its
operations.
An
operating
segment
is
defined
in
ASU
2023-07
as
a
component
of
a
public
en-
tity
that
engages
in
business
activities
from
which
it
may
recognize
revenues
and
incur
expenses,
has
operating
results
that
are
regularly
reviewed
by
the
public
entity’s
chief
operating
decision
maker
(“CODM”)
to
make
de-
cisions
about
resources
to
be
allocated
to
the
segment
and
assess
its
performance,
and
has
discrete
financial
information
available.
NTI
acts
as
the
CODM.
Each
Fund
within
the
Trust
represents
a
single
operating
segment,
as
the
CODM
monitors
the
operating
results
of
each
Fund
as
a
whole
and
each
Fund’s
long-term
strategic
asset
allocation
is
determined
in
accordance
with
the
terms
of
its
prospectus,
based
on
a
defined
in-
vestment
strategy
which
is
executed
by
the
respective
Fund’s
portfolio
managers
as
a
team.
The
financial
in-
formation
in
the
form
of
a
Fund’s
total
returns,
expense
ratios,
changes
in
net
assets
resulting
from
operations,
and
subscriptions
and
redemptions
which
are
used
by
the
CODM
to
assess
the
segment’s
performance
and
to
make
resource
allocation
decisions
for
each
Fund
(as
a
single
segment),
is
consistent
with
that
presented
within
each
Fund’s
financial
statements.
Segment
assets
are
reflected
on
the
accompanying
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
“total
assets”
and
significant
segment
expenses
are
listed
on
the
accompanying
Statements
of
Operations.

New
Accounting
Pronouncements
On
December
14,
2023,
the
FASB
issued
ASU
2023-09,
which
establishes
new
income
tax
disclosure
require-
ments
in
addition
to
modifying
and
eliminating
certain
existing
requirements.
Under
the
new
guidance,
entities
must
consistently
categorize
and
provide
greater
disag-
gregation
of
information
in
the
rate
reconciliation.
They
must
also
further
disaggregate
income
taxes
paid.
The
ASU’s
disclosure
requirements
apply
to
all
entities
sub-
ject
to
ASC
740.
As
the
FASB
notes
in
ASC
740-10-50-
11A,
the
“objective
of
these
disclosure
requirements
is
for
an
entity,
particularly
an
entity
operating
in
multiple
jurisdictions,
to
disclose
sufficient
information
to
enable
users
of
financial
statements
to
understand
the
nature
and
magnitude
of
factors
contributing
to
the
difference
between
the
effective
tax
rate
and
the
statutory
tax
rate.”
Public
business
entities
(PBEs)
must
apply
the
ASU’s
guidance
to
annual
periods
beginning
after
December
15,
2024
(2025
for
calendar-year-end
PBEs).
The
dis-
closures
are
required
on
an
annual
basis
and
will
first
apply
to
the
Funds’
October
31,
2026
annual
financial
statements.
Management is still
evaluating
the
impact
of
this
update
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
and
disclosures.

Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds’
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
based
on
our
audits.
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
Funds
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
audits
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
and
financial
highlights
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
The
Funds
are
not
required
to
have,
nor
were
we
engaged
to
perform,
an
audit
of
their
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
As
part
of
our
audits
we
are
required
to
obtain
an
understanding
of
internal
control
over
financial
reporting
but
not
for
the
purpose
of
expressing
an
opinion
on
the
effectiveness
of
the
Funds’
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
Accordingly,
we
express
no
such
opinion.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights,
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
and
financial
highlights.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
October
31,
2025,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

The
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”)
of
the
FlexShares
Trust
(the
“Trust”)
oversees
the
management
of
the
Trust
and
each
separate
series
of
the
Trust
covered
in
this
report
(each,
a
“Fund”
and,
collectively,
the
“Funds”)
and,
as
required
by
law,
determines
whether
to
approve
the
Trust’s
investment
advisory
and
ancillary
services
agreement
(the
“Advisory

with
Northern
Trust
Investments,
Inc.
(the
“Adviser”),
an

of
the

At
a
meeting
on
June 26,
2025
(the
“Meeting”),
the
Board,
including
all
of
the
Trustees
who
are
not
parties
to
the
Advisory
Agreement
or
interested
persons
of
any
such
party
(the
“Independent
Trustees”),
considered
whether
to
approve
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
between
the
Adviser
and
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
each
Fund.
In
advance
of,
and
in
preparation
for,
the
Trustees’
consideration
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
at
the
Meeting,
the
Trustees
received
written
materials
relating
to
the
Advisory
Agreement
and
had
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
and
request
further
information
in
connection
with
their
consideration.
At
the
Meeting,
the
Trustees
considered
the
Adviser’s
presentations
and
discussed
all
of
the
information
that
had
been
provided.
Among
other
things,
the
Board
considered
comparisons
with
other
funds
in
relevant
peer
universes
and
peer
groups
that
had
been
determined
by
Broadridge
Financial
Solutions,
Inc.
(“Broadridge”),
an
independent
provider
of
fund
data,
which
included,
among
other
things,
the
following
information:
(1) a
description
of
the
types
of
funds
chosen
by
Broadridge
to
compare
to
each
Fund;
(2) comparative
performance
data
for
each
Fund;
(3) data
on
each
Fund’s
expenses
and
fees;
and
(4) comparative
fee
data
for
each
Fund’s
respective
peer
group,
including
comparisons
of
advisory
fees
and
total
expense
ratios.
In
considering
the
Advisory
Agreement,
the
Independent
Trustees
met
with
their
independent
legal
counsel
separately
from
the
“interested”
Trustee
of
the
Trust
and
officers
and
employees
of
the
Adviser.
After
evaluating
all
the
materials,
the
Trustees,
including
the
Independent
Trustees,
concluded
that
the
Advisory
Agreement
was
in
the
best
interest
of
each
of
the
Funds
and
their
shareholders
and
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
on
behalf
of
the
Funds.
The
material
factors
and
conclusions
that
formed
the
basis
for
the
Trustees
reaching
their
determination
to
approve
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
are
separately
discussed
below.
Nature,
Quality
and
Extent
of
Services
The
Board
examined
the
nature,
quality
and
extent
of
the
services
provided
by
the
Adviser
to
each
Fund.
The
Board
also
considered
the
Adviser’s
responsibilities
under
the
Advisory
Agreement
to
perform
securities
trading
services
and
ancillary
services
including,
among
other
things:
(i) filing
reports
with
the
SEC,
(ii) periodically
updating
the
Trust’s
registration
statement,
(iii) establishing
and
maintaining
the
Funds’
website
to
comply
with
regulatory
requirements,
(iv) monitoring
anticipated
purchases
and
redemptions
of
creation
units
by
shareholders
and
new
investors,
(v) providing
information
and
assistance
as
required
by
the
Trust’s
administrator
and
fund
accountant
in
connection
with
the
Trust’s
shares,
and
(vi) providing
assistance
in
connection
with
the
operations
of
the
Trust
generally.
The
Board
also
considered
the
quality
of
the
Adviser’s
resources
that
are
made
available
to
the
Trust.
The
Board
noted
the
Adviser’s
and
its
affiliates’
financial
position,
stability
and
commitment
to
growing
their
exchange-traded
funds
(“ETFs”)
business.
The
Board
also
considered
the
operation
and
strength
of
the
Adviser’s
compliance
program.
The
Board
noted
that
Foreside
Fund
Services,
LLC,
an
entity
unaffiliated
with
the
Adviser,
provides
distribution
services
to
the
Funds
and
that
JPMorgan
Chase
Bank,
N.A.,
also
an
unaffiliated
entity,
provides
custody,
transfer
agency,
securities
lending
and
fund
administration
support
services,
and
that
these
service
provider
arrangements
were
relevant
to
the
Board’s
considerations
of
the
totality
of
the
circumstances
surrounding
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreement.
The
Board
concluded
that
each
Fund
benefited
from
the
services
provided
under
the
Advisory
Agreement
and
365
FLEXSHARES

Approval
of

(cont.)
as
a
result
of
the
Adviser’s
operations,
resources,
experience,
reputation
and
personnel.
Performance,
Fees
and
Expenses
The
Board
considered
that,
unlike
FlexShares
®
Ultra-
Short
Income
Fund
and
FlexShares
®
Core
Select
Bond
Fund
(each,
an
“Active
Fund”),
the
investment
objective
of
each
Fund
other
than
the
Active
Funds
(each,
an
“Index
Fund”)
is
to
seek
investment
results
that
correspond
generally
to
the
price
and
yield
performance,
before
fees
and
expenses,
of
a
specified
index
(each,
an
“Underlying
Index”).
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
explanation
that
performance
information
with
respect
to
funds
in
relevant
peer
universes
and
peer
groups
selected
by
Broadridge
is
only
one
of
several
comparative
data
points
and
that
none
of
the
peer
funds
sought
to
track
an
index
that
was
the
same
as
any
Index
Fund’s
Underlying
Index.
The
Board
considered
the
information
that
the
Adviser
provided
regarding
the
difference
between
each
Fund’s
performance,
after
fees
and
expenses,
and
the
performance
of
its
Underlying
Index
or
benchmark
index
(as
applicable)
over
certain
periods
of
time,
including
as
noted
further
below,
ended
March 31,
2025
(the
“Tracking
Difference”).
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
expectations
for
each
Index
Fund’s
Tracking
Difference
and
noted
the
Adviser’s
view
that
all
instances
of
Tracking
Difference
for
the
Index
Funds
reflect
results
well
within
appropriate
expectations
after
taking
into
account
(i) all
of
the
factors
that
affect
Tracking
Difference
and
(ii) the
ancillary
objectives
of
minimizing
portfolio
transaction
costs
and tax-related inefficiencies.
The
Board
also
considered
comparative
performance,
fee
and
expense
information
of
each
Fund
provided
by
Broadridge.
The
Broadridge
comparisons
ranked
each
Fund
in
various
quintiles
over
certain
periods
of
time,
including
as
noted
further
below,
ended
March 31,
2025,
with
the
first
quintile
being
the
lowest
or
best
20%
of
the
funds
in
terms
of
fund
cost
and
fund
performance,
respectively.
The
Board
noted
that,
in
certain
cases,
the
Broadridge
peer
funds
included
funds
sponsored
by
an
“at
cost”
service
provider
and
that
there
were
limitations
in
providing
comparable
peer
funds.
The
Board
considered
that
the
Adviser
contractually
agreed
to
reimburse
the
portion
of
the
operating
expenses
of
each
Fund
until
at
least
March 1,
2026,
so
that,
after
such
reimbursement,
the
total
annual
fund
operating
expenses
of
a
Fund,
excluding
any
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses,
expressed
as
a
percentage
of
average
daily
net
assets,
does
not
exceed
an
amount
equal
to
the
sum
of
(i) the
Fund’s
advisory
fee
rate
and
(ii)
0.0049%
(the
“Expense
Reimbursement
Agreement”).
In
reaching
its
determinations,
the
Board
considered
a
large
amount
of
data
provided
by
the
Adviser
in
response
to
a
written
request
previously
submitted
by
the
Independent
Trustees
to
the
Adviser.
Among
the
information
considered
by
the
Board
was
the
following
information:
Index
Funds:
FlexShares®
Morningstar
US
Market
Factor
Tilt
Index
Fund
(TILT)
The
Board
considered
the
Fund’s
performance,
after
fees
and
expenses,
including
that
it
differed
from
the
performance
of
its
Underlying
Index
by
40
basis
points
or
less
for
all
periods.
The
Board
considered
the
factors
that
influenced
the
Fund’s
Tracking
Difference
including,
among
other
things,
securities
selection,
the
use
of
futures,
and
compounding
of
tracking
difference.
The
Board
also
considered
that
the
Fund’s
performance
was
in
the
first
quintile
of
its
performance
universe
for
the
five-year
period,
the
second
quintile
for
the
two-
year
and
ten-year
periods
and
the
third
quintile
for
the
one-,
three-,
and
four-year
periods.
As
noted
above,
however,
the
Board
considered
that
the
Fund
seeks
investment
results
that
correspond
generally
to
its
underlying
index.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
advisory
fee
net
of
waivers
(“Net
Advisory
Fee”)
and
total
expense
ratio
(which
represents
the
total
cost
to
investors)
were
less
than
seven
basis
points
higher
than
its
expense
group
median.

The
Board
considered
the
Fund’s
performance,
after

including
that
it
differed
from
the
performance
of
the
Underlying
Index
by
less
than
15
basis
points
for
all
periods.
The
Board
considered
the
factors
that
influenced
the
Fund’s
Tracking
Difference
including,
among
other
things,
dividend-related
tax
differentials,
securities
selection,
the
use
of
futures
and
transaction
costs.
The
Board
also
considered
that
the
Fund’s
performance
ranked
in
the
second
quintile
of
its
performance
universe
for
the
ten-year
period,
the
third
quintile
for
the
two-year
period,
and
in
the
fourth
quintile
for
the
other
periods.
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
assertion
that
it
takes
a
thoughtful
and
disciplined
approach
to
portfolio
and
trade
construction
to
find
the
optimal
balance
between
the
effects
of
transaction
costs
and
a
level
of
sampling
that
seek
to
achieve
the
characteristics
and
performance
of
the
benchmark.
In
this
regard,
it
was
noted
that
having
a
high
number
of
holdings
can
increase
transaction
costs
relative
to
peer
funds.
The
Board
also
considered
the
Adviser’s
assertion
that
for
the
one-year
period
ended
March
31,
2025,
size
factor
detracted
from
performance.
The
Board
took
into
account
that
the
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio
(which
represents
the
total
cost
to
investors)
and
Net
Advisory
Fee
were
less
than
three
basis
points
higher
than
its
expense
group
median.

performance
of

by
80
basis
points
or
less
for
the
one-year,

The

considered
the
factors
that
influenced
the

including,
among
other
things,
the
use
of
futures,
transaction
costs,
securities
selection,
compounding
of
tracking

and
India

The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
performance
ranked
in
the

universe
for
the four-

five-year periods
and
in

the
Fund’s
Tracking
Difference
including,
among
other
things,
liquidity
and
trading
costs,
shifts
in
interest
rates,
and
security
selection.
The
Board
also
considered
that
the
Fund’s
performance
ranked
in
the
third
quintile
of
its
performance
universe
for
the
two-year,
three-year
and
since
inception
periods
and
in
the
fourth
quintile
for
the
one-year
period.
Further,
the
Board
considered
the
Fund’s
relatively
short
performance
record
and
noted
that
it
would
be
prudent
to
allow
the
Adviser
more
time
to
develop
the
Fund’s
performance
record.
The
Board
also
considered
the
Fund’s
performance
universe
can
include
funds
with
significantly
different
investment
strategies
relative
to
the
index-based
strategy
pursued
by
the
Fund.
The
Board
considered
that
the
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio
(which
represents
the
total
cost
to
investors)
and
Net
Advisory
Fee
were
lower
than
its
expense
group
median.
Active
Funds:
FlexShares®
Ultra-Short
Income
Fund
(RAVI)
The
Board
considered
that
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark
index
for
all
periods.
The
Board
also
considered
that
the
Fund’s
performance
ranked
in
the
third
quintile
for
all
periods
as
compared
to
its
peer
fund
universe.
In
addition
to
the
peer
fund
universe,
the
Board
considered
information
provided
by
the
Adviser
with
regard
to
the
Fund’s
performance
against
certain
peer
funds
identified
by
the
Adviser.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
assertion
that
the
Fund’s
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
certain
periods
as
compared
to
the
duration
of
certain
peer
funds.
The
Board
considered
that
the
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio
(which
represents
the
total
cost
to
investors)
and
Net
Advisory
Fee
were
higher
than
its
expense
group
median
and
the
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio
was
within
nine
basis
points
of
its
expense
group
median.
FlexShares®
Core
Select
Bond
Fund
(BNDC)
The
Board
considered
that
Fund’s
performance,
including
that
it
ranked
in
the
fourth
quintile
of
its
performance
universe
for
all
periods.
The
Board
also
considered
that
the
Fund
underperformed
its
benchmark
index
for
all
periods,
except
the
five-year
period
in
which
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark
index.
The
Board
also
considered
information
provided
by
the
Adviser
with
regard
to
the
Fund’s
performance
against
certain
peer
funds
identified
by
the
Adviser.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
assertion
that
relative
to
such
peers,
the
Fund
has
historically
been
overweight
to
treasury
securities
and
investment
grade
corporate
bonds
and,
as
such,
the
peer
funds
have
historically
benefited
during
risk-on
market
environments
through
heavier
allocations
to
securitized
debt
instruments
and
lower
credit
quality
securities.

FLEXSHARES
ANNUAL
REPORT
Approval
of
Advisory
Agreement
(cont.)
The
Board
considered
that
the
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio
(which
represents
the
total
cost
to
investors)
and
Net
Advisory
Fee
were
lower
than
its
expense
group
median.
The
Board
also
considered
that
the
Adviser
had
agreed
to
waive
a
portion
of
its
advisory
fee
and/
or
reimburse
operating
expenses
in
an
amount
equal
to
any
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses
incurred
by
the
Fund
that
were
attributable
to
its
investment
in
other
Funds.
Costs
of
Services
and
Profits
of
the
Adviser
The
Board
considered
the
unitary
fee
structure
and
the
expenses
for
each
Fund
and
noted
that,
under
the
Advisory
Agreement,
the
Adviser
was
responsible
for
most
expenses
of
the
Funds,
including
the
cost
of
transfer
agency,
custody,
fund
administration,
legal,
audit
and
other
services.
The
Board
considered
that
the
Adviser
was
not
responsible
under
the
Advisory
Agreement
for
certain
expenses,
including
the
fees
and
expenses
of
the
Trust’s
Independent
Trustees
and
their
independent
legal
counsel,
litigation
expenses
and
other
extraordinary
expenses.
The
Board
considered
the
advisory
fee
for
each
Fund
as
compared
to
that
of
other
comparable
funds
in
relation
to
its
respective
Broadridge
median.
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
explanation
that
each
Index
Fund’s
advisory
fee
(both
gross
and
net
of
waivers)
compared
favorably
with
its
respective
Broadridge
median
advisory
fee
(both
gross
and
net
of
waivers)
for
comparable
funds
set
forth
in
the
Broadridge
report,
especially
taking
into
account,
among
other
factors,
important
differences
between
the
indexes
upon
which
such
comparable
funds
are
based
and
each
Index
Fund’s
Underlying
Index,
including
in
certain
cases
differences
between
the
number
of
portfolio
holdings
for
comparable
funds
and
the
Funds.
The
Board
considered
the
advisory
fee
schedules
for
other
accounts
with
similar
investment
advisory
mandates
as
those
of
the
Funds,
noting
that
there
were
no
comparable
accounts
for
certain
of
the
Funds.
The
Board
considered
(a) the
differences
in
managing
ETFs
versus
separately
managed
accounts
which
involve
daily
purchase
and
redemption
activity
along
with
robust
regulatory
and
governance
requirements;
and
(b) the
Funds’
unitary
fee
structure.
The
Board
examined
the
Adviser’s
profitability
information
provided
by
the
Adviser,
and
the
Trustees
considered
that
the
Adviser
was
profitable
on
a pre-
distribution basis
but
not
on
a
post-distribution
basis.
The
Board
considered
that
the
Adviser’s
potential
for
profitability
would
continue
to
be
subject
to
financial
uncertainties
and
risks.
The
Board
also
considered
that
the
Adviser
would
continue
to
develop
and
offer
additional
new
products
in
efforts
to
complete
the
overall
integrity
of
the
Trust’s
product
suite,
consistent
with
its
product
strategy,
and
that
these
products
may
expose
the
Adviser
to
additional
financial
risks
and
uncertainties.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board
considered
whether
the
Adviser
may
realize
economies
of
scale
in
managing
and
supporting
the
Funds.
The
Board
reviewed
each
Fund’s
fee
arrangements,
which
did
not
include
breakpoints,
and
considered
that,
in
light
of
the
unitary
fee
structure,
the
Adviser’s
profitability
from
its
services
to
the
Trust
and
the
significant
investment
that
the
Adviser
had
made
and
continues
to
make
in
the
Trust,
breakpoints
were
not
necessary
at
this
time.
The
Board
also
noted
the
Expense
Reimbursement
Agreement.
Other
Benefits
to
the
Adviser
In
addition
to
considering
the
profits
that
may
be
realized
by
the
Adviser,
the
Board
considered
information
regarding
other
direct
and
indirect
benefits
the
Adviser
may
receive
as
a
result
of
its
relationship
with
the
Funds,
including
whether
any
compensation
would
be
paid
to
its
affiliates.
The
Board
also
considered
that
some
of
the
Funds’
shareholders
have
other
client
relationships
with
the
Adviser
or
its
affiliates.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
extent
to
which
the
Adviser
and
its
other
clients,
as
well
as
the
Funds,
benefit
from
receipt
of
the
research
products
and
services
generated
by
the
Funds.
The
Board,
including
the
Independent
Trustees,
considered
the
data
provided
by
the
Adviser
and
FLEXSHARES
ANNUAL
REPORT
374
Approval
of
Advisory
Agreement
(cont.)
concluded
that
sufficient
information
had
been
provided
to
allow
them
to
evaluate
the
terms
of
the
Advisory
Agreement
and
each
Fund’s
investment
advisory
fee.
They
determined
that
each
Fund’s
advisory
fee
was
reasonable
in
light
of
the
services
provided
and
the
performance
achieved
by
the
Fund.
