Market

and

Fund

Performance

Overview

For

the

six-month

period

ended

December

31,

2023,

BNY

Mellon

Ultra

Short

Income

ETF

(the

“fund”)

produced

a

net

asset

value

total

return

of

3.28%.

1

In

comparison,

the

ICE

BofA

3-Month

U.S.

Treasury

Bill

Index

(the

“Index”),

the

fund’s

benchmark,

returned

2.70%

for

the

same

period.

2

Short-term

interest

rates

fell

sharply

during

the

reporting

period,

lifting

fixed-income

prices.

The

fund

outperformed

the

Index,

largely

as

a

result

of

its

relatively

long

duration

and

credit

positioning.

The

Fund’s

Investment

Approach

The

fund

seeks

high

current

income

consistent

with

the

maintenance

of

liquidity

and

low

volatility

of

principal.

To

pursue

its

goal,

the

fund

normally

invests

at

least

80%

of

its

net

assets

in

investment-grade,

U.S.

dollar-denominated,

fixed,

variable,

and

floating-rate

debt

or

cash

equivalents.

The

fund

typically

seeks

to

maintain

an

effective

duration

of

one

year

or

less,

although,

under

certain

market

conditions,

such

as

in

periods

of

significant

volatility

in

interest

rates

and

spreads,

the

fund’s

duration

may

be

longer

than

one

year.

The

fund’s

portfolio,

under

normal

market

conditions,

will

have

an

average

credit

rating

of

at

least

A

or

the

equivalent.

The

fund’s

sub-adviser

seeks

to

achieve

what

they

believe

provides

the

optimal

portfolio

for

the

fund

in

terms

of

preservation

of

principal,

liquidity

and

high

current

income.

To

do

so,

the

sub-adviser

uses

a

top-down

and

bottom-up

investment

process,

and

leverages

the

breadth

and

depth

of

Dreyfus’

research

resources.

The

sub-

adviser

focuses

on

preservation

of

principal

and

downside

protection,

by

proactively

monitoring

issuer

and

counterparty

risk,

and

ensures

appropriate

portfolio

liquidity

through

a

combination

of

overnight

investments

and

short-term,

highly

liquid

securities.

Yields

Decline,

Driving

Bond

Prices

Higher

After

a

final

rate

increase

in

July

2023,

the

U.S.

Federal

Reserve

(the

“Fed”)

paused

its

aggressive

program

of

interest-rate

hikes

in

recognition

of

easing

inflation

levels,

leaving

the

federal

funds

rate

in

a

range

of

5.25%−5.50%

for

the

remainder

of

the

reporting

period.

While

short-term

U.S.

Treasury

yields

rose

mildly

during

the

first

half

of

the

period,

they

fell

sharply

in

the

second

half,

driven

lower

by

the

prospect

of

eventual

rate

cuts.

Yield

declines

accelerated

and

spreads

tightened

further

in

December,

after

the

Fed

indicated

a

likelihood

of

multiple

rate

cuts

in

2024.

From

early

October

through

the

end

of

2023,

the

1-year

Treasury

yield

decreased

from

a

high

of

just

over

5.5%

to

approximately

4.7%

as

of

year-end.

The

2-year

Treasury

experienced

an

even

DISCUSSION

OF

FUND

PERFORMANCE

(Unaudited)

(continued)

4

steeper

drop

in

yields

during

that

same

period,

from

approximately

5.2%

to

just

over

4.2%.

As

yields

fell,

bond

prices

increased,

reflecting

the

inverse

relationship

between

bond

prices

and

yields.

At

the

same

time,

short-term

yields

continued

to

provide

an

attractive

income

stream.

As

the

1-year

and

2-year

Treasury

examples

above

illustrate,

longer-duration

bonds

experienced

steeper

yield

declines,

and

correspondingly

greater

price

increases,

than

shorter-duration

bonds.

Favorable

Duration

Positioning

Bolsters

Returns

The

fund

benefited

from

the

environment

favoring

longer-duration

instruments.

By

maintaining

a

duration

of

approximately

eight-to-nine

months

during

the

reporting

period

(versus

the

Index

duration

of

three

months),

we

positioned

the

fund

to

capture

the

price

advantage

of

longer-duration

holdings.

These

positions

were

largely

made

up

of

fixed

corporate

(representing

approximately

25%

of

the

portfolio)

and

Treasury

holdings.

The

fund

also

invested

approximately

40%

of

assets

in

commercial

paper

with

durations

of

six

months

to

a

year,

which

further

bolstered

relative

returns

as

a

result

of

duration

and

the

extra

yield

carry

from

the

credit.

No

fund

positions

materially

detracted

from

returns

relative

to

the

Index.

Positioned

for

Moderate

Rate

Cuts

As

of

December

31,

2023,

we

believe

the

market

is

pricing

in

more

aggressive

Fed

rate

cuts

than

are

likely

to

occur

in

2024,

although

some

cuts

appear

likely.

Credit

spreads

appear

unlikely

to

tighten

further

and

may

widen

somewhat,

leading

us

to

position

the

fund

with

a

bias

in

favor

of

higher-quality

credit,

although

the

actual

direction

of

the

economy

over

time

will

determine

the

course

we

set

for

the

fund.

Current

trends

toward

moderating

inflation

and

somewhat

slowing

economic

growth

appear

likely

to

remain

in

place,

barring

unexpected

developments,

with

potential

challenges

for

the

market

implicit

in

high

levels

of

consumer

debt

and

elevated

equity

prices

in

the

wake

of

2023’s

stock

market

boom.

While

we

are

keeping

a

close

eye

on

these

and

other

developments

that

could

affect

the

fund’s

performance,

for

now,

we

are

maintaining

the

duration

and

credit

positioning

described

above.

UNDERSTANDING

YOUR

FUND’S

EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

As

a

shareholder

of

the

fund,

you

pay

ongoing

expenses,

such

as

management

fees

and

other

expenses.

Using

the

information

below,

you

can

estimate

how

these

expenses

affect

your

investment

and

compare

them

with

the

expenses

of

other

funds.

For

more

information,

see

your

fund’s

prospectus

or

talk

to

your

financial

adviser.

Actual

Expenses

The

table

below

shows

the

expenses

you

would

have

paid

on

a

$1,000

investment

in

the

fund

from

July

1,

2023

to

December

31,

2023.

The

information

under

each

column

in

the

table

below

entitled

“Actual”

provides

information

about

on

how

much

a

$1,000

investment

would

be

worth

at

the

close

of

the

period,

assuming

net

asset

value

total

returns

and

actual

expenses.

You

may

use

the

information

in

these

columns,

together

with

the

amount

you

invested,

to

estimate

the

expenses

that

you

paid

over

the

period.

Simply

divide

your

account

value

by

$1,000

(for

example,

an

$8,600

account

value

divided

by

$1,000

=

8.6),

then

multiply

the

result

by

the

number

for

the

fund

under

the

heading

entitled

“Expenses

paid

for

the

period”

to

estimate

the

expenses

you

paid

on

your

account

during

this

period.

Hypothetical

Example

For

Comparison

Purposes

The

Securities

and

Exchange

Commission

(“SEC”)

has

established

guidelines

to

help

investors

assess

fund

expenses.

The

information

under

each

column

in

the

table

entitled

“Hypothetical”

provides

information

about

hypothetical

account

values

and

hypothetical

expenses

based

on

the

fund’s

actual

expense

ratio

and

an

assumed

rate

of

return

of

5%

per

year

before

expenses,

which

is

not

the

fund’s

actual

return.

The

hypothetical

account

values

and

expenses

may

not

be

used

to

estimate

the

actual

ending

account

balance

or

expenses

you

paid

for

the

period.

You

may

use

this

information

to

compare

the

ongoing

expenses

(but

not

transaction

expenses

or

total

cost)

of

investing

in

the

fund

with

those

of

other

funds.

To

do

so,

compare

this

5%

hypothetical

example

with

the

5%

hypothetical

examples

that

appear

in

the

shareholder

reports

of

the

other

funds.

Please

note

that

the

expenses

shown

in

the

table

are

meant

to

highlight

your

ongoing

costs

only

and

do

not

reflect

any

transactional

costs,

such

as

brokerage

commissions

paid

on

purchases

and

sales

of

fund

shares.

Therefore,

the

ending

account

values

and

expenses

paid

for

the

period

in

the

table

are

useful

in

comparing

ongoing

expenses

(but

not

transaction

expenses

or

total

cost)

of

investing

in

the

fund

with

those

of

other

funds.

In

addition,

if

these

transactional

costs

were

included,

your

costs

would

have

been

higher.

For

the

six

months

(a)

Expenses

are

as

a

for

the

six-month

period

ended

Expenses

are

calculated

by

multiplying

the

The

operates

as

a

The

BNY

Mellon

Securities

Corporation

(the

“Distributor”),

a wholly-owned

subsidiary

of

the

is

the

distributor

of

the

fund’s

shares.

The

shares

of

the

fund

are

referred

to

herein

as

“Shares”

or

“Fund’s

Shares.”

The

Fund’s

Shares

are

listed

and

traded

on

NYSE

Arca,

Inc.

The

market

price

of

each

Share

may

differ

to

some

degree

from

the

fund’s

net

asset

value

(“NAV”).

Unlike

conventional

mutual

funds,

the

fund

issues

and

redeems

Shares

on

a

continuous

basis,

at

NAV,

only

in

a

large

specified

number

of

Shares,

each

called

a

“Creation

Unit”.

Creation

Units

are

issued

and

redeemed

principally

in

exchange

for

the

deposit

or

delivery

of

a

basket

of

securities.

Except

when

aggregated

in

Creation

Units

by

Authorized

Participants,

the

Shares

are

not

individually

redeemable

securities

of

the

fund.

Individual

Fund

Shares

may

only

be

purchased

and

sold

on

the

NYSE

Inc.,

other

national

securities

exchanges,

electronic

crossing

networks

and

other

alternative

trading

systems

through

your

broker-dealer

at

market

prices.

Because

Fund

Shares

trade

at

market

prices

rather

than

at

NAV,

Fund

Shares

may

trade

at

a

price

greater

than

NAV

(premium)

or

less

than

NAV

(discount).

When

buying

or

selling

Shares

in

the

secondary

market,

you

may

incur

costs

attributable

to

the

difference

between

the

highest

price

a

buyer

is

willing

to

pay

to

purchase

Shares

of

the

fund

(bid)

and

the

lowest

price

a

seller

is

willing

to

accept

for

FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(continued)

18

financial

statements

are

prepared

in

accordance

with

GAAP,

which

may

require

the

use

of

management

estimates

and

assumptions.

Actual

results

could

differ

from

those

estimates.  

The

Trust

accounts

separately

for

the

assets,

liabilities

and

operations

of

each

series.

Expenses

directly

attributable

to

each

series

are

charged

to

that

series’

operations;

expenses

which

are

applicable

to

all

series

are

allocated

among

them

on

a

pro

rata

basis.

The

Trust

enters

into

contracts

that

contain

a

variety

of

indemnifications.

The

fund’s

maximum

exposure

under

these

arrangements

is

unknown.

The

fund

does

not

anticipate

recognizing

any

loss

related

to

these

arrangements. 

(a)

Portfolio

valuation:

The

fair

value

of

a

financial

instrument

is

the

amount

that

would

be

received

to

sell

an

asset

or

paid

to

transfer

a

liability

in

an

orderly

transaction

between

market

participants

at

the

measurement

date

(i.e.,

the

exit

price).

GAAP

establishes

a

fair

value

hierarchy

that

prioritizes

the

inputs

of

valuation

techniques

used

to

measure

fair

value.

This

hierarchy

gives

the

highest

priority

to

unadjusted

quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

assets

or

liabilities

(Level

1

measurements)

and

the

lowest

priority

to

unobservable

inputs

(Level

3

measurements).

Additionally,

GAAP

provides

guidance

on

determining

whether

the

volume

and

activity

in

a

market

has

decreased

significantly

and

whether

such

a

decrease

in

activity

results

in

transactions

that

are

not

orderly.

GAAP

requires

enhanced

disclosures

around

valuation

inputs

and

techniques

used

during

annual

and

interim

periods.

Various

inputs

are

used

in

determining

the

value

of

the

fund’s

investments

relating

to

fair

value

measurements.

These

inputs

are

summarized

in

the

three

broad

levels

listed

below:

Level

1

—

unadjusted

quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

investments.

Level

2

—

other

significant

observable

inputs

(including

quoted

prices

for

similar

investments

,

interest

rates,

prepayment

speeds,

credit

risk,

etc.).

Level

3

—

significant

unobservable

inputs

(including

the

fund’s

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.

Changes

in

valuation

techniques

may

result

in

transfers

in

or

out

of

an

assigned

level

within

the

disclosure

hierarchy.

Valuation

techniques

used

to

value

the

fund’s

investments

are

as

follows:

Registered

investment

companies

that

are

not

traded

on

an

exchange

are

valued

at

their

net

asset

value

and

are

generally

categorized

within

Level 1

of

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

19

The

Trust’s Board

of

Trustees

(the

“Board”)

has

designated

the

Adviser

as

the

fund’s

valuation

designee

to

make

all

fair

value

determinations

with

respect

to

the

fund’s

portfolio

of

investments,

subject

to

the

Board’s

oversight

and

pursuant

to

Rule

2a-5

under

the

Act.

Investments

in

debt

securities

excluding

short-term

investments

(other

than

U.S.

Treasury

Bills)

are

valued

each

business

day

by

one

or

more

independent

pricing

services

(each,

a

“Service”)

approved

by the Board.

Investments

for

which

quoted

bid

prices

are

readily

available

and

are

representative

of

the

bid

side

of

the

market

in

the

judgment

of

a

Service

are

valued

at

the

mean

between

the

quoted

bid

prices

(as

obtained

by

a

Service

from

dealers

in

such

securities)

and

asked

prices

(as

calculated

by

a

Service

based

upon

its

evaluation

of

the

market

for

such

securities).

Securities

are

valued

as

determined

by

a

Service,

based

on

methods

which

include

consideration

of

the

following:

yields

or

prices

of

securities

of

comparable

quality,

coupon,

maturity

and

type;

indications

as

to

values

from

dealers;

and

general

market

conditions.

Each

Service

and

independent

valuation

firm

is

engaged

under

the

general

oversight

of

the

Board.

Overnight

and

certain

other

short-term

debt

instruments

(excluding

U.S.

Treasury

Bills)

will

be

valued

by

the

amortized

cost

method,

which

approximates

value,

unless

a

Service

provides

a

valuation

for

such

security

or,

in

the

opinion

of

the

Board

or

a

committee

or

other

persons

designated

by

the

Board,

the

amortized

cost

method

would

not

represent

fair

value. These

securities

are

generally

categorized

within

Level

2

of

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

When

market

quotations

or

official

closing

prices

are

not

readily

available,

or

are

determined

not

to

reflect

fair

value

accurately,

they are

valued

at

fair

value

as

determined

in

good

faith

based

on

procedures

approved

by

the

Board.

Fair

value

of

investments

may

be

determined

by

valuation

designee

using

such

information

as

it

deems

appropriate

under

the

circumstances.

Certain

factors

may

be

considered

when

fair

valuing

investments

such

as:

fundamental

analytical

data,

the

nature

and

duration

of

restrictions

on

disposition,

an

evaluation

of

the

forces

that

influence

the

market

in

which

the

securities

are

purchased

and

sold,

and

public

trading

in

similar

securities

of

the

issuer

or

comparable

issuers.

These

securities

are

either

categorized

within

Level

2

or

3

of

the

fair

value

hierarchy

depending

on

the

relevant

inputs

used.

For

securities

where

observable

inputs

are

limited,

assumptions

about

market

activity

and

risk

are

used

and

are

generally

categorized

within

Level

3

of

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

The

table

below

summarizes

the

inputs

used

as

of December

(c)

Affiliated

Investments

companies

advised

by

the

or

its

Act. 

(d)

Market

Risk:

The

value

of

the

securities

in

which

the

fund

invests

may

be

affected

by

political,

regulatory,

economic

and

social

developments,

and

developments

that

impact

specific

economic

sectors,

industries

or

segments

of

the

market.

In

addition,

turbulence

in

financial

markets

and

reduced

liquidity

in

equity,

credit

and/

or

fixed

income

markets

may

negatively

affect

many

issuers,

which

could

adversely

affect

the

fund.

Global

economies

and

financial

markets

are

becoming

increasingly

interconnected,

and

conditions

and

events

in

one

country,

region

or

financial

market

may

adversely

impact

issuers

in

a

different

country,

region

or

financial

market.

These

risks

may

be

magnified

if

certain

events

or

developments

adversely

interrupt

the

global

supply

chain;

in

these

and

other

circumstances,

such

risks

might

affect

companies

world-wide.

Fixed-Income

Market

Risk:

The

market

value

of

a

fixed-income

security

may

decline

due

to

general

market

conditions

that

are

not

specifically

related

to

a

particular

company,

such

as

real

or

perceived

adverse

economic

conditions,

changes

in

the

outlook

for

corporate

earnings,

changes

in

interest

as

Authorized

Participants,

which

are

responsible

In

addition,

there

may

be

a

To

the

extent

either

of

the

following

(e)

Dividends

and

distributions

to

shareholders:

Dividends

and

are

recorded

on

the

paid

on

a

monthly

basis.

Dividends

from

net

realized

capital

gains,

if

any,

are

normally

declared

and

paid

annually,

but

the

fund

may

make

distributions

on

a

more

frequent

basis

to

comply

with

the

distribution

requirements

of

the

Internal

Revenue

Code

of

1986,

as

amended

(the

“Code”).

To

the

extent

that

net

realized

capital

gains

can

be

offset

by

capital

loss

carryovers

of

a

fund,

it

is

the

policy

of

the

fund

not

to

distribute

such

gains.

Income

and

capital

gain

distributions

are

determined

in

accordance

with

income

tax

regulations,

(f)

Federal

income

taxes:

It

is

the

policy

of

the

fund

to

continue to

qualify

as

a

regulated

investment

company,

if

such

qualification

is

in

the

best

interests

of

its

shareholders,

by

complying

with

the

applicable

provisions

of

the

Code,

and

to

make

distributions

of

taxable

income

and

net

realized

capital

gain sufficient

to

relieve

it

from

substantially

all

federal

income

and

excise

taxes.

As

of

and

during

the period

ended December

31,

2023,

the

fund

did

not

have

any

liabilities

for

any

uncertain

tax

positions.

The

fund

recognizes

interest

and

penalties,

if

any,

related

to

uncertain

tax

positions

as

income

tax

expense

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

During

the period

ended December

31,

2023,

the

did

not

incur

any

period

ended June

30,

2023

remains

subject

to

examination

by

the

Internal

Revenue

Service

and

state

taxing

authorities.

The

fund

is

permitted

to

carry

forward

capital

losses

for

an

unlimited

period.

Furthermore,

capital

loss

carryovers

retain

their

character

as

either

short-term

or

long-

term

capital

losses.

The

fund

has

an

unused

capital

loss

carryover

of

$156,066

available

for

federal

income

tax

purposes

to

be

applied

against

future

net

realized

capital

gains,

if

any,

realized

subsequent

to

June

30,

2023.

The

fund

had

$105,384

of

short-term

capital

losses

and

$50,682

of

long-term

capital

losses

which

can

be

NOTE

3—Management

Fee,

Sub-Advisory

Fee

and

Other

Transactions

with

Affiliates:

(a)

Pursuant

to

a

management

agreement

with

the

Adviser,

the

management

fee

is computed

at

an

annual

rate of

0.12%

of

the

value

of

the

fund’s

average

daily

net

assets

and

is

payable

monthly.

The

fund’s

management

agreement

provides

that

the

Adviser

pays

substantially

all

expenses

of

the

fund,

except

for

the

management

fees,

payments

under

the

fund’s

12b-1

plan

(if

any),

interest

expenses,

taxes,

acquired

fund

fees

and

brokerage

commissions,

costs

of

holding

shareholder

meetings,

fees

and

expenses

associated

with

the

fund’s

securities

lending

program,

and

litigation

and

potential

litigation

and

other

extraordinary

expenses

not

incurred

in

the

ordinary

course

of

the

fund’s

business.

23

The

Adviser

may

from

time

to

time

voluntarily

waive

and/or

reimburse

fees

or

expenses

in

order

to

limit

total

annual

fund

operating

expenses.

Any

such

voluntary

waiver

or

reimbursement

may

be

eliminated

by

the

Adviser

at

any

time.

During

the

period

ended

December

31,

2023,

there

was

no

reduction

in

expenses

pursuant

to

the

undertaking.

Pursuant

to

a

sub-investment

advisory

agreement

between

the

Adviser

and

the

Sub-

Adviser,

the

Sub-Adviser

serves

as

the

fund’s

sub-adviser

responsible

for

the

day-to-day

management

of

the

fund’s

portfolio.

The

Adviser

pays

the

Sub-Adviser

a

monthly

fee

at

an

annual

percentage

of

the

value

of

the

fund’s

average

daily

net

assets.

The

Adviser

has

obtained

an

exemptive

order

from

the

SEC

(the

“Order”),

upon

which

the

fund

may

rely,

to

use

a

manager

of

managers

approach

that

permits

the

Adviser,

subject

to

certain

conditions

and

approval

by

the

Board,

to

enter

into

and

materially

amend

sub-investment

advisory

agreements

with

one

or

more

sub-advisers

who

are

either

unaffiliated

or

affiliated

with

the

Adviser

without

obtaining

shareholder

approval.

The

Order

also

relieves

the

fund

from

disclosing

the

sub-advisory

fee

paid

by

the

Adviser

to

a

Sub-Adviser

in

documents

filed

with

the

SEC

and

provided

to

shareholders.

In

addition,

pursuant

to

the

Order,

it

is

not

necessary

to

disclose

the

sub-advisory

fee

payable

by

the

Adviser

separately

to

a

Sub-Adviser

that

is

a

wholly-owned

subsidiary

(as

defined

in

the

1940

Act)

of

BNY

Mellon

in

documents

filed

with

the

SEC

and

provided

to

shareholders;

such

fees

are

to

be

aggregated

with

fees

payable

to

the

Adviser.

The

Adviser

has

ultimate

responsibility

(subject

to

oversight

by

the

Board)

to

supervise

any

Sub-Adviser

and

recommend

the

hiring,

termination,

and

replacement

of

any

Sub-Adviser

to

the

Board.

Pursuant

to

a

sub-investment

advisory

agreement

between

the

Adviser

and

the

Sub-

Adviser,

the

Adviser

pays

the

Sub-Adviser

a

monthly

fee

at

an

annual

rate

of

0.06%

of

the

value

of

the

fund’s

average

daily

net

assets.

The

Adviser,

and

not

the

fund,

pays

the

Sub-Adviser

fee

rate.

(b)

The

has

an

with

The

Bank

of

New

NOTE

5—Shareholder

Transactions:

The

fund

issues

and

redeems

its

shares

on

a

continuous

basis,

at

NAV,

to

certain

institutional

investors

known

as

“Authorized

Participants”

(typically

market

makers

or

other

broker-dealers)

only

in

a

large

specified

number

of

shares

called

a

Creation

Unit.

Except

when

aggregated

in

Creation

Units,

shares

of

the

fund

are

not

redeemable.

The

value

of

the

fund

is

determined

once

each

business

day.

The

Creation

Unit

size

for the

fund

may

change.

Authorized

Participants

will

be

notified

of

such

change.

Creation

Unit

transactions

may

be

made

in-kind,

for

cash,

or

for

a

combination

of

securities

and

cash.

The

principal

consideration

for

creations

and

redemptions

for

the

fund

is

in-kind,

although

this

may

be

revised

at

any

time

without

notice.

The

Trust

issues

and

sells

shares

of

the

fund

only:

in

Creation

Units

on

a

continuous

basis

through

the

Distributor,

without

a

sales

load,

at

their

NAV

per

determined

after

receipt

of

an

on

any

Business

Day,

in

proper

pursuant

to

the

Agreement.

Transactions

in

capital

shares

for

the

fund

are

disclosed

in

detail

in

the

Statement

of

Changes

in

Net

Assets.

The

consideration

for

the

purchase

of

Creation

Units

of the

fund

may

consist

of

the

in-kind

deposit

of

a

designated

portfolio

of

securities

and

a

specified

amount

of

cash.

Investors

purchasing

and

redeeming

Creation

Units

may

pay

a

purchase

transaction

fee

and

a

redemption

transaction

fee

directly

to

the

Trust

and/or

custodian

to

offset

transfer

and

other

transaction

costs

associated

with

the

issuance

and

redemption

of

Creation

Units,

including

Creation

Units

for

cash.

The

Adviser

or

its

affiliates

(the

“Selling

Shareholder”)

may

purchase

Creation

Units

through

a

broker-dealer

to

“seed”

(in

whole

or

in

part)

funds

as

they

are

launched

or

may

purchase shares

from

broker-dealers

or

other

investors

that

have

previously

provided

“seed”

for

funds

when

they

were

launched

or

otherwise

in

secondary

market

transactions.

Because

the

Selling

Shareholder

may

be

deemed

an

affiliate

of

such

funds,

the

fund shares

are

being

registered

to

permit

the

resale

of

these

shares

from

time

to

time

after

purchase.

The

fund

will

not

receive

any

of

the

25

proceeds

from

resale

by

the

Selling

Shareholders

of

these

fund

shares. An

additional

variable

fee

may

be

charged

for

certain

transactions.

Such

variable

charges,

if

any,

are

included

in

“Transaction

on

Seed

Capital:

As

of

December

31,

2023,

MBC

Investments

Corporation,

a

wholly-

owned

subsidiary

of

BNY

Mellon,

held

499,001

shares

of

the

fund.

In-kind

Redemptions:

For

financial

reporting

purposes,

in-kind

redemptions

are

treated

as

sales

of

securities

resulting

in

realized

capital

gains

or

losses

to

the

fund.

Because

such

gains

or

losses

are

not

taxable

to

the

fund

and

are

not

distributed

to

existing

fund

shareholders,

the

gains

or

losses

are

reclassified

from

accumulated

net

realized

gain

(loss)

to

paid-in

capital

at

the

end

of

the

fund’s

tax

year.

These

reclassifications

have

no

effect

on

net

assets

or

net

asset

value

per

share.

During

the

period

ended

December

31,

2023,

the

fund

had

no

in-kind

transactions.

LIQUIDITY

RISK

MANAGEMENT

PROGRAM

(Unaudited)

26

The

funds

of

the

Trust

have

adopted

a

liquidity

risk

management

program

(the

“Program”)

pursuant

to

the

requirements

of

Rule

22e-4

under

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940,

as

amended.

Rule

22e-4

requires

registered

open-end

funds,

including

exchange-traded

funds,

to

establish

liquidity

risk

management

programs

in

order

to

effectively

manage

fund

liquidity

and

shareholder

redemptions.

The

rule

is

designed

to

mitigate

the

risk

that

a

fund

could

not

meet

redemption

requests

without

significantly

diluting

the

interests

of

remaining

investors.

The

Board

has

appointed

BNY

Mellon

ETF

Investment

Adviser,

LLC,

the

investment

adviser

to

the

funds,

as

the

Program

Administrator.

The

rule

requires

each

fund

to

assess,

manage

and

review

its

liquidity

risk

at

least

annually,

considering

applicable

factors

such

as

investment

strategy

and

liquidity

during

normal

and

reasonably

foreseeable

stressed

conditions,

including

whether

the

strategy

is

appropriate

for

an

open-end

fund

and

whether

the

fund

has

a

relatively

concentrated

portfolio

or

large

positions

in

particular

issuers.

Each

fund

must

also

assess

its

use

of

borrowings

and

derivatives,

short-

term

and

long-term

cash

flow

projections

in

normal

and

reasonably

foreseeable

stressed

conditions,

holdings

of

cash

and

cash

equivalents,

and

borrowing

arrangements

and

other

funding

sources.

In

addition,

with

respect

to

an

exchange-traded

fund,

a

fund

must

assess

the

relationship

between

the

fund’s

portfolio

liquidity

and

the

way

in

which,

and

the

prices

and

spreads

at

which,

the

fund’s

shares

trade,

and

the

effect

of

the

composition

of

baskets

on

the

overall

liquidity

of

the

fund’s

portfolio.

The

rule

also

generally

requires

funds

to

classify

each

of

their

investments

as

highly

liquid,

moderately

liquid,

less

liquid

or

illiquid

based

on

the

number

of

days

the

fund

expects

it

would

take

to

liquidate

the

investment,

and

to

review

these

classifications

at

least

monthly

or

more

often

under

certain

conditions.

Illiquid

investments

are

those

a

fund

does

not

expect

to

be

able

to

sell

or

dispose

of

within

In

Administrator,

the

approved

by

the

Board

continues

to

be

adequate

for

the

and

the

effectively.

The

Administrator

has

monitored

each

and

the

liquidity

classification

of

the

securities

held

by

the

and

has

determined

that

effectively.

During

2023,

there

were

no

material

changes

to

and

no

that

impacted

the

During

the

each

held

sufficient

highly

liquid

assets

to

meet

redemptions.

Under

normal

expected

forecasts,

the

Program

Administrator

believes

that

Market

and

Performance

Overview

For

the

six-month

period

ended

December

31,

2023,

the

BNY

Mellon

Responsible

Horizons

Corporate

Bond

ETF

(the

“fund”)

produced

a

net

asset

value

total

return

of

5.14%.

1

In

comparison,

the

ICE

BofA

U.S.

Corporate

Index

(the

“Index”)

achieved

a

total

return

of

5.00%

for

the

same

period.

2

Fixed-income

markets

produced

positive

returns

over

the

reporting

period

in

an

environment

of

tightening

monetary

conditions

and

declining

inflation.

The

fund

outperformed

the

Index

by

14

basis

points

due

to

a

number

of

factors,

including

an

overweight

to

beta,

security

selection,

and

duration

positioning

that

was

long

relative

to

the

Index.

The

Fund’s

Investment

Approach

The

fund

seeks

total

return

consisting

of

capital

appreciation

and

income.

To

pursue

its

goal,

the

fund

normally

invests

at

least

80%

of

its

net

assets,

plus

the

amount

of

any

borrowings

for

investment

purposes,

in

corporate

debt

securities

issued

by

companies

that

demonstrate

attractive

investment

attributes

and

attractive

business

practices

based

on

an

environmental,

social

and

governance

(ESG)

evaluation

methodology.

The

fund’s

investment

in

corporate

debt

securities

principally

includes

corporate

bonds,

notes

and

debentures

of

U.S.

and

non-U.S.

issuers,

including

the

securities

of

issuers

in

emerging-markets

countries

and

securities

denominated

in

foreign

currencies.

The

fund

may,

from

time

to

time,

invest

a

significant

portion

(more

than

20%)

of

its

total

assets

in

securities

of

companies

in

certain

sectors

or

located

in

particular

countries

or

regions.

The

fund

currently

invests

a

significant

portion

of

its

assets

in

securities

of

companies

located

in

the

broader

European

region,

although

this

may

change

from

time

to

time.

Market

Rebounds

as

Inflation

Eases,

Rate

Hiking

Approaches

an

End

The

reporting

period

was

marked

by

lower

inflation

and

growing

anticipation

that

the

Federal

Reserve’s

(the

“Fed”)

rate-hiking

cycle

was

near

an

end.

But

rate

expectations

vacillated,

alternately

expecting

higher

rates,

leading

to

a

peak

in

the

10-year

Treasury

yield

at

4.99%,

and

later

accepting

the

likely

end

of

rate-hiking,

dropping

that

yield

to

3.88%

at

year

end,

exactly

where

it

started

the

year. 

Having

reduced

inflation

pressures

significantly

in

2022

and

the

first

half

of

2023,

the

Fed

initiated

just

one

additional

rate

increase

during

the

reporting

period.

After

pausing

in

June

2023,

the

Fed

raised

the

federal

funds

target

rate

by

25

basis

points

in

DISCUSSION

OF

FUND

PERFORMANCE

(Unaudited)

(continued)

4

July

to

5.25%–5.50%.

But

Fed

officials

continued

to

sound

hawkish,

indicating

that

rates

could

stay

“higher

for

longer,”

when

an

uptick

in

inflation

occurred

in

August

2023. 

Despite

the

higher

rates,

the

U.S.

economy

surprised

investors

by

continuing

to

avoid

a

long-anticipated

recession.

Following

a

2.2%

expansion

in

the

first

quarter

of

2023,

the

economy

grew

by

2.1%

in

the

second

quarter

and

4.9%

in

the

third

quarter.

The

bond

market

declined

through

much

of

the

reporting

period,

hampered

especially

by

the

unexpectedly

persistent

inflation

and

the

Fed’s

hawkish

tone.

But

in

October

2023,

the

personal

consumption

expenditure

index,

the

Fed’s

preferred

measure

of

inflation,

rose

just

3%

year

over

year,

down

from

4.4%

in

March

2023.

With

that,

markets

began

to

increasingly

look

forward

to

the

end

of

the

Fed’s

rate

hiking. 

Ultimately,

risk

markets

strengthened

significantly,

with

the

S&P

500

increasing

8%

and

investment-grade

(IG)

corporate

option-adjusted

spreads

(OAS)

tightening

by

24

basis

points

(bps)

to

99

bps.

(Constrained

IG

supply

contributed

as

well,

as

issuance

fell

-1.3%

versus

2022,

and

spreads

ended

the

year

31

bps

tighter

year

over

year).

Credit

curves

flattened

as

well,

with

intermediate

spreads

tightening

19

bps

during

the

reporting

period

and

long

spreads

tightening

34

bps.

OAS

on

high-yield

bonds

narrowed

by

67

bps

to

323

bps.

Lower

Quality

Bonds

Aided

Performance

The

fund’s

performance

was

driven

by

a

number

of

factors.

An

overweight

to

credit

beta

contributed

positively

during

the

period

as

lower-rated

securities

outperformed

the

Index.

Security

selection

also

enhanced

returns,

with

leading

contributors

including

EDF

Energy

,

a

French

utility;

Public

Service

Electric

&

Gas

Co.,

a

New

Jersey

utility;

Lenovo,

Ltd.

,

a

Chinese

technology

company;

and

LyondellBasell

,

a

Dutch

chemical

company.

Duration

positioning

that

was

long

relative

to

the

Index,

especially

in

the

fourth

quarter,

also

added

to

performance.

On

the

other

hand,

certain

security

selections

detracted

from

performance.

In

basic

industries

and

insurance,

positions

in

Allianz

SE,

a

German

insurer,

and

Braskem

Netherlands

Finance

BV,

a

Brazilian

petrochemical

company,

were

particularly

detrimental.

Sector

allocation

also

detracted

somewhat.

An

overweight

to

sovereigns

and

Treasuries

and

an

underweight

to

foreign

agency

bonds

hampered

relative

returns,

offset

partially

by

an

overweight

to

real

estate

investment

trusts

(REITs),

consumer

cyclicals

(autos)

and

technology.

A

Positive

Environment

Economic

activity

was

strong

in

the

latter

half

of

2023,

but

it

is

expected

to

grow

only

slowly

in

2024.

Moderating

inflation

should

allow

some

policy

easing,

creating

a

more

positive

environment

for

risk

assets. 

5

Markets

have

already

moved

dramatically

to

price

in

a

level

of

rate

cuts

that

is

beyond

our

expectations.

If

our

view

is

proved

correct

and

markets

are

disappointed,

there

is

a

risk

that

yields

will

adjust

upwards

to

price

in

a

more

realistic

path

for

interest

rates.

We

do

believe

the

Fed

has

effectively

engineered

a

soft

landing,

and

we

expect

investment-

grade

credit

to

continue

to

perform

well.

For

2024,

we

are

forecasting

gross

domestic

product

(GDP)

growth

of

1.6%,

a

consumer

price

index

(CPI)

of

2.4%,

and

two

to

three

rate

cuts

by

the

Fed,

starting

in

the

summer.

Yield

spreads

on

investment-grade

bonds

ended

the

year

31

bps

tighter

year

over

year,

and

current

valuations

overall

look

less

attractive.

But

fundamentals

remain

solid

and

there

has

been

consistent

demand

for

corporate

debt,

driven

in

part

by

higher

all-in

yields.

We

are

forecasting

investment-grade

spreads

to

trade

in

the

95-

140

bps

range

this

year.

Although

this

is

not

our

base

case,

one

risk

is

that

the

economy

could

remain

stronger

than

anticipated

and

inflation

could

remain

elevated,

provoking

the

Fed

to

resume

hikes.

Alternatively,

the

tightening

enacted

to

date

could

slow

the

economy

to

the

point

of

recession.

In

both

scenarios,

spreads

could

widen.

Nevertheless,

we

believe

corporate

bonds

are

generally

able

to

weather

these

scenarios,

limiting

downside

risks.

In

addition,

given

our

view

that

fundamentals

remain

strong,

we

would

seek

to

use

any

meaningful

correction

as

an

opportunity

to

add

to

positions.

Liquidity

profiles

remain

very

strong,

given

companies

have

been

able

to

access

the

new-issue

market

and

other

sources

of

funding,

and

earnings

have

remained

resilient

despite

margins

normalizing

to

pre-Covid

levels.

of

may

result

in

UNDERSTANDING

YOUR

FUND’S

EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

7

As

a

shareholder

of

the

fund,

you

pay

ongoing

expenses,

such

as

management

fees

and

other

expenses.

Using

the

information

below,

you

can

estimate

how

these

expenses

affect

your

investment

and

compare

them

with

the

expenses

of

other

funds.

For

more

information,

see

your

fund’s

prospectus

or

talk

to

your

financial

adviser.

Actual

Expenses

The

table

below

shows

the

expenses

you

would

have

paid

on

a

$1,000

investment

in

the

fund

from

July

1,

2023

to

December

31,

2023.

The

information

under

each

column

in

the

table

below

entitled

“Actual”

provides

information

about

on

how

much

a

$1,000

investment

would

be

worth

at

the

close

of

the

period,

assuming

net

asset

value

total

returns

and

actual

expenses.

You

may

use

the

information

in

these

columns,

together

with

the

amount

you

invested,

to

estimate

the

expenses

that

you

paid

over

the

period.

Simply

divide

your

account

value

by

$1,000

(for

example,

an

$8,600

account

value

divided

by

$1,000

=

8.6),

then

multiply

the

result

by

the

number

for

the

fund

under

the

heading

entitled

“Expenses

paid

for

the

period”

to

estimate

the

expenses

you

paid

on

your

account

during

this

period.

Hypothetical

Example

For

Comparison

Purposes

The

Securities

and

Exchange

Commission

(“SEC”)

has

established

guidelines

to

help

investors

assess

fund

expenses.

The

information

under

each

column

in

the

table

entitled

“Hypothetical”

provides

information

about

hypothetical

account

values

and

hypothetical

expenses

based

on

the

fund’s

actual

expense

ratio

and

an

assumed

rate

of

return

of

5%

per

year

before

expenses,

which

is

not

the

fund’s

actual

return.

The

hypothetical

account

values

and

expenses

may

not

be

used

to

estimate

the

actual

ending

account

balance

or

expenses

you

paid

for

the

period.

You

may

use

this

information

to

compare

the

ongoing

expenses

(but

not

transaction

expenses

or

total

cost)

of

investing

in

the

fund

with

those

of

other

funds.

To

do

so,

compare

this

5%

hypothetical

example

with

the

5%

hypothetical

examples

that

appear

in

the

shareholder

reports

of

the

other

funds.

Please

note

that

the

expenses

shown

in

the

table

are

meant

to

highlight

your

ongoing

costs

only

and

do

not

reflect

any

transactional

costs,

such

as

brokerage

commissions

paid

on

purchases

and

sales

of

fund

shares.

Therefore,

the

ending

account

values

and

expenses

paid

for

the

period

in

the

table

are

useful

in

comparing

ongoing

expenses

(but

not

transaction

expenses

or

total

cost)

of

investing

in

the

fund

with

those

of

other

funds.

In

addition,

if

these

transactional

costs

were

included,

your

costs

would

have

been

higher.

For

the

six

months

ended

December

31,

2023

(a)

Expenses

are

calculated

using

the

annualized

expense

ratio,

which

represents

the

ongoing

expenses

as

a

percentage

of

net

assets

for

the

six-month

period

ended

December

31,

2023.

Expenses

are

calculated

by

multiplying

the

fund’s

annualized

expense

ratio

by

the

average

account

value

for

the

period,

then

multiplying

the

result

by

184/366

(to

reflect

the

one-half

period).

The

Securities

Corporation

(the

“Distributor”),

a wholly-owned

of

is

the

of

the

The

shares

of

the

fund

are

referred

to

herein

as

“Shares”

or

“Fund’s

The

Fund’s

Shares

are

listed

and

traded

on

The

market

price

of

each

Share

may

differ

to

some

degree

from

the

fund’s

net

asset

value

(“NAV”).

Unlike

conventional

mutual

funds,

the

fund

issues

and

redeems

Shares

on

a

continuous

basis,

at

NAV,

only

in

a

large

specified

number

of

Shares,

each

called

a

“Creation

Creation

Units

are

issued

and

redeemed

principally

in

exchange

for

the

deposit

delivery

of

a

basket

of

securities.

Except

when

aggregated

in

Creation

by

Authorized

Participants,

the

are

Individual

other

national

exchanges,

electronic

and

other

alternative

trading

systems

through

your

broker-dealer

at

Because

Fund

Shares

trade

at

market

prices

rather

than

at

NAV,

Fund

Shares

may

trade

at

a

price

greater

than

NAV

(premium)

or

less

than

(discount).

When

buying

or

selling

Shares

in

the

secondary

you

may

incur

costs

attributable

to

the

difference

between

the

highest

price

a

of

NOTES

TO

FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(continued)

24

financial

statements

are

prepared

in

accordance

with

GAAP,

which

may

require

the

use

of

management

estimates

and

assumptions.

Actual

results

could

differ

from

those

estimates.  

The

Trust

accounts

separately

for

the

assets,

liabilities

and

operations

of

each

series.

Expenses

directly

attributable

to

each

series

are

charged

to

that

series’

operations;

expenses

which

are

applicable

to

all

series

are

allocated

among

them

on

a

pro

rata

basis.

The

Trust

enters

into

contracts

that

contain

a

variety

of

indemnifications.

The

fund’s

maximum

exposure

under

these

arrangements

is

unknown.

The

fund

does

not

anticipate

recognizing

any

loss

related

to

these

arrangements. 

(a)

Portfolio

valuation:

The

fair

value

of

a

financial

instrument

is

the

amount

that

would

be

received

to

sell

an

asset

or

paid

to

transfer

a

liability

in

an

orderly

transaction

between

market

participants

at

the

measurement

date

(i.e.,

the

exit

price).

GAAP

establishes

a

fair

value

hierarchy

that

prioritizes

the

inputs

of

valuation

techniques

used

to

measure

fair

value.

This

hierarchy

gives

the

highest

priority

to

unadjusted

quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

assets

or

liabilities

(Level

1

measurements)

and

the

lowest

priority

to

unobservable

inputs

(Level

3

measurements).

Additionally,

GAAP

provides

guidance

on

determining

whether

the

volume

and

activity

in

a

market

has

decreased

significantly

and

whether

such

a

decrease

in

activity

results

in

transactions

that

are

not

orderly.

GAAP

requires

enhanced

disclosures

around

valuation

inputs

and

techniques

used

during

annual

and

interim

periods.

Various

inputs

are

used

in

determining

the

value

of

the

fund’s

investments

relating

to

fair

value

measurements.

These

inputs

are

summarized

in

the

three

broad

levels

listed

Valuation

techniques

used

to

value

the

are

as

follows:

Registered

investment

companies

that

are

not

traded

on

an

exchange

are

valued

at

their

net

asset

value

and

are

generally

categorized

within

Level 1

of

the

fair

The

Trust’s Board

of

Trustees

(the

“Board”)

has

designated

the

Adviser

as

the

fund’s

valuation

designee

to

make

all

fair

value

determinations

with

respect

to

the

fund’s

portfolio

of

investments,

subject

to

the

Board’s

oversight

and

pursuant

to

Rule

2a-5

under

the

Act.

Investments

in

debt

securities

excluding

short-term

investments

(other

than

U.S.

Treasury

Bills),

futures

and

forward

foreign

currency

exchange

contracts

(“forward

are

valued

each

business

day

by

one

or

more

independent

services

(each,

a

“Service”)

approved

by the Board.

Investments

for

which

quoted

readily

available

and

are

representative

of

the

in

the

judgment

of

a

are

valued

at

the

mean

between

the

quoted

bid

prices

(as

obtained

by

a

Service

from

dealers

in

such

securities)

and

asked

prices

(as

calculated

by

a

Service

based

upon

its

evaluation

of

the

market

for

such

securities).

Securities

are

valued

as

determined

by

a

Service,

based

on

methods

which

include

consideration

of

the

following:

yields

or

prices

of

securities

of

comparable

quality,

coupon,

maturity

and

type;

indications

as

to

values

from

dealers;

and

general

market

conditions.

Each

Service

and

independent

valuation

firm

is

engaged

under

the

general

oversight

of

the

Board.

Overnight

and

certain

other

short-term

debt

instruments

(excluding

U.S.

Treasury

Bills)

will

be

valued

by

the

amortized

cost

method,

which

approximates

value,

unless

a

Service

provides

a

valuation

for

such

security

or,

in

the

opinion

of

the

Board

or

a

committee

or

other

persons

designated

by

the

Board,

the

amortized

cost

method

would

not

represent

fair

value. These

securities

are

generally

categorized

within

Level

2

of

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

When

market

quotations

or

official

closing

prices

are

not

readily

available,

or

are

determined

not

to

reflect

fair

value

accurately,

they are

valued

at

fair

value

as

determined

in

good

faith

based

on

procedures

approved

by

the

Board.

Fair

value

of

investments

may

be

determined

by

valuation

designee

using

such

information

as

it

deems

appropriate

under

the

circumstances.

Certain

factors

may

be

considered

when

fair

valuing

investments

such

as:

fundamental

analytical

data,

the

nature

and

duration

of

restrictions

on

disposition,

an

evaluation

of

the

forces

that

influence

the

market

in

which

the

securities

are

purchased

and

sold,

and

public

trading

in

similar

securities

of

the

issuer

or

comparable

issuers.

These

securities

are

either

categorized

within

Level

2

or

3

of

the

fair

value

hierarchy

depending

on

the

relevant

inputs

used.

For

securities

where

observable

inputs

are

limited,

assumptions

about

market

activity

and

risk

are

used

and

are

generally

categorized

within

Level

3

of

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

Futures,

which

are

traded

on

an

exchange,

are

valued

at

the

last

sales

price

on

securities

exchange

on

which

such

contracts

are

primarily

traded

or

at

the

last

sales

price

on

the

exchange

on

each

business

day

and

are

generally

categorized

within

Level

on

income,

stock

dividends,

with

the

applicable

foreign

tax

regulations

and

rates

that

exist

in

the

foreign

jurisdictions

in

which

the

invests.

These

foreign

taxes,

if

any,

are

paid

by

the

(c)

Securities

transactions

and

investment

income:

Securities

transactions

are

recorded

on

a

trade

date

basis.

Realized

gains

and

losses

from

securities

transactions

are

recorded

on

the

identified

cost

basis.

Dividend

income

is

recognized

on

the

ex-

dividend

date

and

interest

income,

including,

where

applicable,

accretion

of

discount

and

amortization

of

premium

on

investments,

is

recognized

on

the

accrual

basis.

Pursuant

to

a

securities

lending

agreement

with

BNY

Mellon,

the

fund

may

lend

securities

to

qualified

institutions.

It

is

the

fund’s

policy

that,

at

origination,

all

loans

are

secured

by

collateral

of

at

least

102%

of

the

value

of

U.S.

securities

loaned

and

105%

of

the

value

of

foreign

securities

loaned.

Collateral

equivalent

to

at

least

100%

of

the

market

value

of

securities

on

loan

is

maintained

at

all

times.

Collateral

is

either

in

the

form

of

cash,

which

can

be

invested

in

certain

money

market

mutual

funds

managed

by

the

Adviser,

or

U.S.

Government

and

Agency

securities.

Any

non-cash

collateral

received

cannot

be

sold

or

re-pledged

by

the

fund,

except

in

the

event

of

borrower

default.

The

securities

on

loan,

if

any,

are

also

disclosed

in

the

fund’s

Statement

of

Investments.

The

fund is

entitled

to

receive

all

dividends,

interest

and

distributions

on

securities

loaned,

in

addition

to

income

earned

as

a

result

of

the

lending

transaction.

Should

a

borrower

fail

to

return

the

securities

in

a

timely

manner,

BNY

Mellon

is

required

to

replace

the

securities

for

the

benefit

of

the

fund

or

credit

the

fund

with

the

market

value

of

the

unreturned

securities

and

is

subrogated

to

the

fund’s

rights

against

the

borrower

and

the

collateral.

Additionally,

the

contractual

maturity

of

security

lending

transactions

are

on

an

overnight

and

continuous

basis.

During

the

period

ended

December

31,

2023,

BNY

Mellon

earned

$217 from

the

lending

of

the

fund’s portfolio

securities,

pursuant

to

the

securities

lending

agreement.

For

financial

reporting

purposes,

the

fund

elects

not

to

offset

assets

and

liabilities

subject

to

a

securities

lending

agreement,

if

any,

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

Therefore,

all

qualifying

transactions

are

presented

on

a

gross

basis

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

As

of

December

companies

advised

by

as

“affiliated”

under

(e)

Market

Risk:

The

value

of

the

securities

in

which

the

fund

invests

may

be

affected

by

political,

regulatory,

economic

and

social

developments,

and

developments

that

impact

specific

economic

sectors,

industries

or

segments

of

the

market.

In

addition,

turbulence

in

financial

markets

and

reduced

liquidity

in

equity,

credit

and/

or

fixed

income

markets

may

negatively

affect

many

issuers,

which

could

adversely

affect

the

fund.

Global

economies

and

financial

markets

are

becoming

increasingly

interconnected,

and

conditions

and

events

in

one

country,

region

or

financial

market

may

adversely

impact

issuers

in

a

different

country,

region

or

financial

market.

These

risks

may

be

magnified

if

certain

events

or

developments

adversely

interrupt

the

global

supply

chain;

in

these

and

other

circumstances,

such

risks

might

affect

companies

world-wide.

Fixed-Income

Market

Risk:

The

market

value

of

a

fixed-income

security

may

decline

due

to

general

market

conditions

that

are

not

specifically

related

to

a

particular

company,

such

as

real

or

perceived

adverse

economic

conditions,

changes

in

the

outlook

for

corporate

earnings,

changes

in

interest

or

currency

rates

or

adverse

investor

sentiment

generally.

The

fixed-income

securities

market

can

be

susceptible

to

increases

in

volatility

and

decreases

in

liquidity.

Liquidity

can

decline

unpredictably

in

response

to

overall

economic

conditions

or

credit

tightening.

Increases

in

volatility

and

decreases

in

liquidity

may

be

caused

by

a

rise

in

interest

rates

(or

the

expectation

of

a

rise

in

interest

rates).

An

unexpected

significant

percentage

of

the

fund’s

which

may

be

could

cause

the

ESG

Investment

Approach

Risk:

The

fund’s

incorporation

of

ESG

considerations

into

its

investment

approach

may

cause

it

to

make

different

investments

than

funds

that

invest

principally

in

corporate

bonds

but

do

not

incorporate

ESG

considerations

when

selecting

investments.

Under

certain

economic

conditions,

this

could

cause

the

fund

to

underperform

funds

that

do

not

incorporate

ESG

considerations.

For

example,

the

incorporation

of

ESG

considerations

may

result

in

the

fund

forgoing

opportunities

to

buy

certain

securities

when

it

might

otherwise

be

advantageous

to

do

so

or

selling

securities

when

it

might

otherwise

be

disadvantageous

for

the

fund

to

do

so.

The

incorporation

of

ESG

considerations

may

also

affect

the

fund’s

exposure

to

certain

sectors

and/or

types

of

investments,

and

may

adversely

impact

the

fund’s

performance

depending

on

whether

such

sectors

or

investments

are

in

or

out

of

favor

in

the

market.

INA’s

security

selection

process

incorporates

ESG

data

provided

by

third

parties,

which

may

be

limited

for

certain

issuers

and/or

only

take

into

account

one

or

a

few

ESG

related

components.

In

addition,

ESG

data

may

include

quantitative

and/

or

qualitative

measures,

and

consideration

of

this

data

may

be

subjective.

Different

methodologies

may

be

used

by

the

various

data

sources

that

provide

ESG

data.

ESG

data

from

third

parties

used

by

INA

as

part

of

its

proprietary

ESG

process

often

lacks

standardization,

consistency

and

transparency,

and

for

certain

issuers

such

data

may

not

be

available

complete

or

accurate.

INA’s

evaluation

of

ESG

factors

relevant

to

a

particular

issuer

may

be

adversely

affected

in

such

instances.

As

a

result,

the

fund’s

investments

may

differ

from,

and

potentially

underperform,

funds

that

incorporate

ESG

data

from

other

sources

or

utilize

other

methodologies.

Foreign

Investment

Risk:

Because

the

fund

invests

in

foreign

securities,

the

fund’s

performance

will

be

influenced

by

political,

social

and

economic

factors

affecting

investments

in

foreign

issuers.

Special

risks

associated

with

investments

in

foreign

issuers

include

exposure

to

currency

fluctuations,

less

liquidity,

less

developed

or

less

efficient

trading

markets,

lack

of

comprehensive

company

information,

political

and

economic

instability

and

differing

auditing

and

legal

standards.

The

imposition

of

sanctions,

confiscations,

trade

restrictions

(including

tariffs)

and

other

government

restrictions

by

the

United

States

and

other

governments,

or

problems

in

share

registration,

settlement

or

custody,

may

result

in

losses

for

the

fund.

Investments

denominated

in

foreign

currencies

are

subject

to

the

risk

that

such

currencies

will

decline

in

value

relative

to

the

U.S.

dollar

and

affect

the

value

of

these

investments

held

by

the

fund.

Some

sovereign

obligors

have

been

among

the

world’s

largest

debtors

to

commercial

banks,

other

governments,

international

financial

organizations

and

other

financial

institutions.

These

obligors,

in

the

past,

may

have

experienced

substantial

difficulties

in

servicing

their

external

debt

obligations,

which

led

to

defaults

on

certain

obligations

and

the

restructuring

of

certain

indebtedness.

To

the

extent

securities

held

by

the

fund

trade

in

a

market

that

is

closed

when

the

exchange

on

which

the

fund’s

NOTES

TO

STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

30

shares

trade

is

open,

there

may

be

deviations

between

the

current

price

of

a

security

and

the

last

quoted

price

for

the

security

in

the

closed

foreign

market.

These

deviations

could

result

in

the

fund

experiencing

premiums

or

discounts

greater

than

those

of

ETFs

that

invest

in

domestic

securities.

High

Yield

Securities Risk:

High

yield

(“junk”)

securities

involve

greater

credit

risk,

including

the

risk

of

default,

than

investment

grade

securities,

and

are

considered

predominantly

speculative

with

respect

to

the

issuer’s

ability

to

make

principal

and

interest

payments.

The

prices

of

response

to

unfavorable

news

about

the

issuer

or

its

industry,

or

the

economy

in

general,

to

a

greater

extent than

those

of

higher

rated

securities.

Authorized

Participants,

Market

Makers

and

Liquidity

Providers

Risk:

The

fund

has

a

limited

number

of

financial

institutions

that

may

act

as

Authorized

Participants,

which

are

responsible

for

the

creation

and

redemption

activity

for

the

fund.

In

addition,

there

may

be

a

limited

number

of

market

makers

and/or

liquidity

providers

in

the

marketplace.

To

the

extent

either

of

the

following

events

occur,

fund

shares

may

trade

at

a

material

discount

to

net

asset

value

and

possibly

face

delisting:

(i)

Authorized

Participants

exit

the

business

or

otherwise

become

unable

to

process

creation

and/or

redemption

orders

and

no

other

Authorized

Participants

step

forward

to

perform

these

services,

or

(ii)

market

makers

and/or

liquidity

providers

exit

the

business

or

significantly

reduce

their

business

activities

and

no

other

entities

step

forward

to

perform

their

functions. 

(f)

Dividends

and

distributions

to

shareholders:

Dividends

and

distributions

are

recorded

on

the

ex-dividend

date.

Dividends

from

net

investment

income

are

normally

declared

and

paid

on

a

monthly

basis. Dividends

from

net

realized

capital

gains,

if

any,

are

normally

declared

and

paid

annually,

but

the

fund

may

make

distributions

on

a

more

frequent

basis

to

comply

with

the

distribution

requirements

of

the

Internal

Revenue

Code

of

1986,

as

amended

(the

“Code”).

To

the

extent

that

net

realized

capital

gains

can

be

offset

by

capital

loss

carryovers

of

a

fund,

it

is

the

policy

of

the

fund

not

to

distribute

such

gains.

Income

and

capital

gain

distributions

are

determined

in

accordance

with

income

tax

regulations,

which

may

differ

from

GAAP.

On

December

26,

2023,

the

Board

declared

a

cash

dividend

of

$0.18

per

share

from

net

investment

income,

payable

on

January

3,

2024

to

shareholders

of

record

as

of

the

close

of

business

on

December

28,

2023.

The

ex-dividend

date

was

December

27,

2023.

(g)

Federal

income

taxes:

It

is

the

policy

of

the

fund

to

continue to

qualify

as

a

regulated

investment

company,

if

such

qualification

is

in

the

best

interests

of

its

shareholders,

by

complying

with

the

applicable

provisions

of

the

Code,

and

to

make

distributions

of

taxable

income

and

net

realized

capital

gain sufficient

to

relieve

it

from

substantially

all

federal

income

and

excise

taxes.

For

federal

income

tax

purposes,

the

fund

is

treated

as

a

separate

entity.

31

As

of

and

during

the period

ended December

31,

2023,

the

fund

did

not

have

any

liabilities

for

any

uncertain

tax

positions.

The

fund

recognizes

interest

and

penalties,

if

any,

related

to

uncertain

tax

positions

as

income

tax

expense

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

During

the period

ended December

31,

2023,

the

fund

did

not

incur

any

interest

or

penalties.

Each

tax

year

in

the

two-year

period

ended June

30,

2023

remains

subject

to

examination

by

the

Internal

Revenue

Service

and

state

taxing

authorities.

The

fund

is

permitted

to

carry

forward

capital

losses

for

an

unlimited

period.

Furthermore,

capital

loss

carryovers

retain

their

character

as

either

short-term

or

long-

term

capital

losses.

The

fund

has

an

unused

capital

loss

carryover

of

$851,515

available

for

federal

income

tax

purposes

to

be

applied

against

future

net

realized

capital

gains,

if

any,

subsequent

to

June

30,

2023.

The

fund

has

$798,748

of

short-term

capital

losses

and

$52,767

long-

term

capital

losses

which

can

be

carried

forward

for

an

unlimited

period.

The

tax

character

of

distributions

paid

to

shareholders

during

the

fiscal

year

ended

June

30,

2023

were

as

follows:

ordinary

income

$865,717.

The

tax

character

of

current

year

distributions

will

be

determined

at

the

end

of

the

current

fiscal

year.

NOTE

3—Management

Fee,

Sub-Advisory

Fee

and

Other

Transactions

with

Affiliates:

(a)

Pursuant

to

a

management

agreement

with

the

Adviser,

the

management

fee

is computed

at

an

annual

rate of

0.35%

of

the

value

of

the

fund’s

average

daily

net

assets

and

is

payable

monthly.

The

fund’s

management

agreement

provides

that

the

Adviser

pays

substantially

all

expenses

of

the

fund,

except

for

the

management

fees,

payments

under

the

fund’s

12b-1

plan

(if

any),

interest

expenses,

taxes,

acquired

fees

and

expenses

associated

with

the

fund’s

lending

program,

and

litigation

and

potential

litigation

and

other

extraordinary

expenses

not

incurred

in

the

ordinary

course

of

the

fund’s

business.

The

Adviser

may

from

time

to

time

voluntarily

waive

and/or

reimburse

fees

or

expenses

in

order

to

limit

total

annual

fund

operating

expenses.

Any

such

voluntary

waiver

or

reimbursement

may

be

eliminated

by

the

Adviser

at

any

time.

During

the

period

ended

December

31,

2023,

there

was

no

reduction

in

expenses

pursuant

to

the

undertaking.

Pursuant

to

a

sub-investment

advisory

agreement

between

the

Adviser

and

the

Sub-

Adviser,

the

Sub-Adviser

serves

as

the

fund’s

sub-adviser

responsible

for

the

day-to-day

management

of

the

fund’s

portfolio.

The

Adviser

pays

the

Sub-Adviser

a

monthly

fee

at

an

annual

percentage

of

the

value

of

the

fund’s

average

daily

net

assets.

The

Adviser

has

obtained

an

exemptive

order

from

the

SEC

(the

“Order”),

upon

which

the

fund

NOTES

TO

FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(continued)

32

may

rely,

to

use

a

manager

of

managers

approach

that

permits

the

Adviser,

subject

to

certain

conditions

and

approval

by

the

Board,

to

enter

into

and

materially

amend

sub-investment

advisory

agreements

with

one

or

more

sub-advisers

who

are

either

unaffiliated

or

affiliated

with

the

Adviser

without

obtaining

shareholder

approval.

The

Order

also

relieves

the

fund

from

disclosing

the

sub-advisory

fee

paid

by

the

Adviser

to

a

Sub-Adviser

in

documents

filed

with

the

SEC

and

provided

to

shareholders.

In

addition,

pursuant

to

the

Order,

it

is

not

necessary

to

disclose

the

sub-advisory

fee

payable

by

the

Adviser

separately

to

a

Sub-Adviser

that

is

a

wholly-owned

subsidiary

(as

defined

in

the

1940

Act)

of

BNY

Mellon

in

documents

filed

with

the

SEC

and

provided

to

shareholders;

such

fees

are

to

be

aggregated

with

fees

payable

to

the

Adviser.

The

Adviser

has

ultimate

responsibility

(subject

to

oversight

by

the

Board)

to

supervise

any

Sub-Adviser

and

recommend

the

hiring,

termination,

and

replacement

of

any

Sub-Adviser

to

the

Board.

Pursuant

to

a

sub-investment

advisory

agreement

between

the

Adviser

and

the

Sub-

Adviser,

the

Adviser

pays

the

Sub-Adviser

a

monthly

fee

at

an

annual

rate

of

0.175%

of

the

value

of

the

fund’s

average

daily

net

assets.

The

Adviser,

and

not

the

fund,

pays

the

Sub-Adviser

fee

rate.

(b)

The

fund

has

an

Rule

18f-4

under

the

Act

regulates

the

use

of

transactions

for

certain

The

are

subject

to

a

value-at-risk

leverage

limit

and

certain

reporting

and

other

requirements

pursuant

to

a

derivatives

risk

management

program

adopted

by

the

fund.

Each

type

of

derivative

instrument

that

was

held

by

the

fund

during

the period

ended

December

31,

2023

is

discussed

below.

Futures:

In

the

normal

course

of

pursuing

its

investment

objective,

exposed

to

market

risk,

including

interest

risk,

as

a

result

of

changes

in

value

of

underlying

financial

instruments.

The

fund

invests

in

futures

in

order

to

manage

the

exposure

to

or

protect

against

changes

in

the

market.

A

futures

contract

represents

a

commitment

for

the

future

purchase

or

a

sale

of

an

asset

at

a

specified

date.

Upon

entering

into

such

contracts,

these

investments

require

initial

margin

deposits

with

a

counterparty,

which

consist

of

cash

or

cash

equivalents.

The

amount

of

these

deposits

is

determined

by

the

exchange

or

Board

of

Trade

on

which

the

contract

is

traded

and

is

subject

to

change.

Accordingly,

variation

margin

payments

are

received

or

made

to

reflect

daily

unrealized

gains

or

losses

which

are

recorded

in

the

Statements

of

Operations.

When

the

contracts

are

closed,

the

fund

recognizes

a

realized

gain

or

loss

which

is

reflected

in

the

Statements

of

Operations.

There

is

minimal

counterparty

credit

risk

to

the

fund

with

futures

since

they

are

exchange

traded,

and

the

exchange

guarantees

the

futures

against

default.

Futures

open

at December

31,

2023,

are

set

forth

in

the

Statement

of

rates

on

its

foreign

portfolio

holdings,

to

settle

foreign

currency

transactions

or

as

a

part

of

When

executing

forward

the

fund

is

obligated

to

buy

or

at

a

specified

rate

on

a

certain

NOTE

5—Shareholder

Transactions:

The

fund

issues

and

redeems

its

shares

on

a

continuous

basis,

at

NAV,

to

certain

institutional

investors

known

as

“Authorized

Participants”

(typically

market

makers

or

other

broker-dealers)

only

in

a

large

specified

number

of

shares

called

a

Creation

Unit.

Except

when

aggregated

in

Creation

Units,

shares

of

the

fund

are

not

redeemable.

The

value

of

the

fund

is

determined

once

each

business

day.

The

Creation

Unit

size

for the

fund

may

change.

Authorized

Participants

will

be

notified

of

such

change.

Creation

Unit

transactions

may

be

made

in-kind,

for

cash,

or

for

a

combination

of

securities

and

cash.

The

principal

consideration

for

creations

and

redemptions

for

the

fund

is

in-kind,

although

this

may

be

revised

at

any

time

without

notice.

The

Trust

issues

and

sells

shares

of

the

fund

only:

in

Creation

Units

on

a

continuous

basis

through

the

Distributor,

without

a

sales

load,

at

their

NAV

per

share

determined

after

receipt

of

an

order,

on

any

Business

Day,

in

proper

form

pursuant

to

the

terms

of

the

Authorized

Participant

Agreement.

Transactions

in

capital

shares

for

the

fund

are

disclosed

in

detail

in

the

Statement

of

Changes

in

Net

Assets.

The

consideration

for

the

purchase

of

Creation

Units

of the

fund

may

consist

of

the

in-kind

deposit

of

a

designated

portfolio

of

securities

and

a

specified

amount

of

cash.

Investors

purchasing

and

redeeming

Creation

Units

may

pay

a

purchase

transaction

fee

and

a

redemption

transaction

fee

directly

to

the

Trust

and/or

custodian

to

offset

transfer

and

other

transaction

costs

associated

with

the

issuance

and

redemption

of

Creation

Units,

including

Creation

Units

for

cash.

The

Adviser

or

its

affiliates

(the

“Selling

Shareholder”)

may

purchase

Creation

Units

through

a

broker-dealer

to

“seed”

(in

whole

or

in

part)

funds

as

they

are

launched

or

may

purchase shares

from

broker-dealers

or

other

investors

that

have

previously

provided

“seed”

for

funds

when

they

were

launched

or

otherwise

in

secondary

market

transactions.

Because

the

Selling

Shareholder

may

be

deemed

an

affiliate

of

such

funds,

the

fund shares

are

being

registered

to

permit

the

resale

of

these

shares

from

time

to

time

after

purchase.

The

fund

will

not

receive

any

of

the

proceeds

from

resale

by

the

Selling

Shareholders

of

these

fund

shares. An

additional

variable

fee

may

be

charged

for

certain

transactions.

Such

variable

charges,

if

any,

are

included

in

“Transaction

fees”

on

the

Statement

of

Changes

in

Net

Assets.

Seed

Capital:

As

of

December

31,

2023,

MBC

Investments

Corporation,

a

wholly-

owned

subsidiary

of

BNY

Mellon,

held

490,001

shares

of

the

fund.

In-kind

Redemptions:

For

financial

reporting

purposes,

in-kind

redemptions

are

treated

as

sales

of

securities

resulting

in

realized

capital

gains

or

losses

to

the

fund.

Because

such

gains

or

losses

are

not

taxable

to

the

fund

and

are

not

distributed

to

existing

fund

shareholders,

the

gains

or

losses

are

reclassified

from

accumulated

net

realized

gain

(loss)

to

paid-in

capital

at

the

end

of

the

fund’s

tax

year.

These

reclassifications

have

no

effect

on

net

assets

or

net

asset

value

per

share.

During

the

period

ended

December

31,

2023,

the

fund

had

no

in-kind

transactions.

LIQUIDITY

RISK

MANAGEMENT

PROGRAM

(Unaudited)

37

The

funds

of

the

Trust

have

adopted

a

liquidity

risk

management

program

(the

“Program”)

pursuant

to

the

requirements

of

Rule

22e-4

under

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940,

as

amended.

Rule

22e-4

requires

registered

open-end

funds,

including

exchange-traded

funds,

to

establish

liquidity

risk

management

programs

in

order

to

effectively

manage

fund

liquidity

and

shareholder

redemptions.

The

rule

is

designed

to

mitigate

the

risk

that

a

fund

could

not

meet

redemption

requests

without

significantly

diluting

the

interests

of

remaining

investors.

The

Board

has

appointed

BNY

Mellon

ETF

Investment

Adviser,

LLC,

the

investment

adviser

to

the

funds,

as

the

Program

Administrator.

The

rule

requires

each

fund

to

assess,

manage

and

review

its

liquidity

risk

at

least

annually,

considering

applicable

factors

such

as

investment

strategy

and

liquidity

during

normal

and

reasonably

foreseeable

stressed

conditions,

including

whether

the

strategy

is

appropriate

for

an

open-end

fund

and

whether

the

fund

has

a

relatively

concentrated

portfolio

or

large

positions

in

particular

issuers.

Each

fund

must

also

assess

its

use

of

borrowings

and

derivatives,

short-

term

and

long-term

cash

flow

projections

in

normal

and

reasonably

foreseeable

stressed

conditions,

holdings

of

cash

and

cash

equivalents,

and

borrowing

arrangements

and

other

funding

sources.

In

addition,

with

respect

to

an

exchange-traded

fund,

a

fund

must

assess

the

relationship

between

the

fund’s

portfolio

liquidity

and

the

way

in

which,

and

the

prices

and

spreads

at

which,

the

fund’s

shares

trade,

and

the

effect

of

the

composition

of

baskets

on

the

overall

liquidity

of

the

fund’s

portfolio.

The

rule

also

generally

requires

funds

to

classify

each

of

their

investments

as

highly

liquid,

moderately

liquid,

less

liquid

or

illiquid

based

on

the

number

of

days

the

fund

expects

it

would

take

to

liquidate

the

investment,

and

to

review

these

classifications

at

least

monthly

or

more

often

under

certain

conditions.

Illiquid

investments

are

those

a

fund

does

not

expect

to

be

able

to

sell

or

dispose

of

within

seven

calendar

days

without

the

sale

or

disposition

significantly

changing

the

market

value

of

the

investment.

A

fund

is

prohibited

from

acquiring

an

investment

if,

after

the

acquisition,

its

holdings

of

illiquid

assets

will

exceed

15%

of

its

net

assets.

In

addition,

if

a

fund

permits

redemptions

in-kind,

the

rule

requires

the

fund

to

establish

redemption

in-kind

policies

and

procedures

governing

how

and

when

it

will

engage

in

such

redemptions.

Pursuant

to

the

rule’s

requirements,

the

Program

has

been

reviewed

and

approved

by

the

Board.

Furthermore,

at

its

November

2023

meeting,

the

Board

received

a

written

report

prepared

by

the

Program

Administrator,

for

the

period

October

1,

2022

to

September

30,

2023,

addressing

the

operation

of

the

Program,

assessing

the

Program’s

adequacy

and

effectiveness

and

describing

any

material

changes

made

to

the

Program.

LIQUIDITY

RISK

MANAGEMENT

PROGRAM

(Unaudited)

(continued)

38

Assessment

of

Program

In

the

opinion

of

the

Program

Administrator,

the

Program

approved

by

the

Board

continues

to

be

adequate

for

the

funds

and

the

Program

has

been

implemented

effectively.

The

Program

Administrator

has

monitored

each

fund’s

liquidity

risk

and

the

liquidity

classification

of

the

securities

held

by

the

funds

and

has

determined

that

the

Program

is

operating

effectively.

During

the

period

from

October

1,

2022

to

September

30,

2023,

there

were

no

material

changes

to

the

Program

and

no

material

liquidity

events

that

impacted

the

funds.

During

the

period,

each

fund

held

sufficient

highly

liquid

assets

to

meet

fund

redemptions.

Under

normal

expected

foreseeable

fund

redemption

forecasts

and

foreseeable

stressed

fund

redemption

forecasts,

the

Program

Administrator

believes

that

each

fund

maintains

sufficient

highly

liquid

assets

to

meet

expected

fund

redemptions.
