How did the Fund perform last year?

  • For the 12 month period ended February 28, 2025, the Fund’s shares returned 14.75% on a net asset value basis and 14.88% on a market price basis.

  • In comparison, Russell 3000® Growth Index returned 19.09% for the same period.

What affected the Fund's performance?  

  • U.S.-based stocks saw strong performance over the period, supported by easing inflation and rate cuts. This, alongside artificial intelligence-driven growth in related segments, led major indices to new highs.

  • Strong stock selection within the communication services and information technology sectors contributed positively to the Fund’s relative returns.

  • A secondary positive contributor to relative Fund performance included a zero-weight in the industrials sector, particularly due to weakness in the ground transportation subsector.

  • The Fund’s overweight in the consumer staples sector, coupled with suboptimal stock selection within the sector, negatively impacted relative returns over the period, as did the Fund’s large overweight in health care.

  •  A secondary detractor from relative Fund performance was the Fund’s overweight in the beverages segment within the consumer staples sector.

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • For the 12 month period ended February 28, 2025, the Fund’s shares returned 11.07% on a net asset value basis and 11.08% on a market price basis.

  • In comparison, S&P 500® Index (the “Index”) returned 18.41% for the same period.

What affected the Fund's performance?  

  • Fueled by cooling inflation and long-anticipated rate cuts, U.S. equities exhibited strong performance. Investor confidence grew on advancements in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technology and subsequent growth in AI beneficiaries.

  • Strong stock selection in financials, and to a lesser extent industrials, benefited the Fund’s performance relative to the Index.

  • Stock selection in information technology detracted from the Fund’s relative returns, driven by allocation and selection within software and services.

  • To a lesser extent, stock selection in consumer discretionary also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.

BNY
Mellon
Securities
Corporation
(the
“Distributor”),
a wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
the

is
the
distributor
of
the

shares.
The
shares
of
the
fund
are
referred
to
herein
as
“Shares”
or
“Fund
Shares.”
Fund
Shares
are
listed
and
traded
on
The
NASDAQ
Stock
Market
LLC.
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
The
NASDAQ
Stock
Market
LLC.,
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
Shares
of
the

Accounting
Policies:

of
authoritative
U.S.
generally

principles
(“GAAP”)
recognized

FASB
to
be
applied
by

Rules
and
interpretive
releases
of
the
SEC
under
authority
of

laws
are
also
sources
of
authoritative
GAAP
for

fund
is an
investment
company
and
applies
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
of
the
FASB
ASC
Topic
946
Financial
Services-Investment
Companies. The
fund’s
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
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

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.

NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(continued)
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:
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
equity
securities,
including
ETFs
(but
not
including
investments
in
other
open-end
registered
investment
companies),
generally
are
valued
at
the
last
sales
price
on
the
day
of
valuation
on
the
securities
exchange
or
national
securities
market
on
which
such
securities
primarily
are
traded.
Securities
listed
on
the
National
Association
of
Securities
Dealers
Automated
Quotation
System
(“NASDAQ”)
for
which
market
quotations
are
available
will
be
valued
at
the
official
closing
price.
If
there
are
no
transactions
in
a
security,
or
no
official
closing
prices
for
a
NASDAQ
market-listed
security
on
that
day,
the
security
will
be
valued
at
the
average
of
the
most
recent
bid
and
asked
prices.
Bid
price
is
used
when
no
asked
price
is
available.
Open
short
positions
for
which
there
is
no
sale
price
on
a
given
day
are
valued
at
the
lowest
asked
price.
Registered
investment
companies
that
are
not
traded
on
an
exchange
are
valued
at
their
net
asset
value.
All
of
the
preceding
securities
are
generally
categorized
within
Level
1
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 February
28,
2025
in
valuing
the
fund’s
investments:

(b)
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

Dividend
income
is
recognized
on
the
ex-dividend

and
interest
income,
including,
where
applicable,

and
amortization
of

Pursuant
to
a
securities
lending
agreement
with
BNY,
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
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
year
ended
February
28,
2025,
BNY
earned
$266 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
February
28,
2025,
the
fund
had
securities
lending
and
the
impact
of
netting
of
assets
and
liabilities
and
the
offsetting
of
collateral
pledged
or
received,
if
any,
based
on
contractual
netting/set-off
provisions
in
the
securities
lending
agreement
are
detailed
in
the
following
table:
(c)
Affiliated
issuers:
Investments
in
other
investment
companies
advised
by
the
Adviser
or
its
affiliates are
defined
as
“affiliated”
under
the
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.
Innovation-Driven
Company
Risk:
There
can
be
no
assurance
that
a
company
identified
as
an
innovation-driven
company
by
NIMNA
will
ultimately
introduce
or
benefit
from
a
new
product
or
service
or
that
such
product
or
service
may
not
be
significantly
delayed
or
have
the
affect
NIMNA
anticipated.
The
returns
on
a
portfolio
of
securities
that
are
viewed
by
NIMNA
as
innovation-
driven
companies
may
trail
the
returns
of
a
portfolio
that
is
not
limited
to
securities
of
innovation-driven
companies.
Investing
only
in
securities
of
innovation-driven
companies
may
affect
the
fund’s
exposure
to
certain
types
of
investments
and
may
adversely
impact
the
fund’s
performance
depending
on
whether
such
investments
are
in
or
out
of
favor
in
the
market.
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.
Fluctuation
of
Net
Asset
Value,
Share
Premiums
and
Discounts
Risk:
As
with
all
exchange-traded
funds,
fund
shares
may
be
bought
and
sold
in
the
secondary
market
at
market
prices.
The
trading
prices
of
fund
shares
in
the
secondary
market
may
differ
from
the
fund's
daily
net
asset
value
per
share
and
there
may
be
times
when
the
market
price
of
the
shares
is
more
than
the
net
asset
value
per
share
(premium)
or
less
than
the
net
asset
value
per
share
(discount).
This
risk
is
heightened
in
times
of
market
volatility
or
periods
of
steep
market
declines.
Non-Diversification
Risk:
The
fund
is
non-diversified,
which
means
that
the
fund
may
invest
a
relatively
high
percentage
of
its
assets
in
a
limited
number
of
issuers.
Therefore,
the
fund’s
performance
may
be
more
vulnerable
to
changes
in
the
market
value
of
a
single
issuer
or
group
of
issuers
and
more
susceptible
to
risks
associated
with
a
single
economic,
political
or
regulatory
occurrence
than
a
diversified
fund.
(e)
Dividends
and
distributions
to
shareholders:
Dividends
and
distributions
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Dividends
from
net
investment
income
and
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,

NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(continued)
(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.
(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 February
28,
2025,
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 February
28,
2025,
the
fund
did
not
incur
any
interest
or
penalties.
The
tax
year
in
the
two-year
period
ended February
28,
2025
remains
subject
to
examination
by
the
Internal
Revenue
Service
and
state
taxing
authorities. 
At February
28,
2025,
the
components
of
accumulated
earnings
on
a
tax
basis
were
as
follows:
accumulated
capital
losses
$376,245,
and
unrealized appreciation
$5,067,297.
In
addition,
the
fund
had
$10,729
of
late
year
ordinary
losses
deferred
for
tax
purposes
to
the
first
day
of
the
following
fiscal
year.
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
accumulated
capital
loss
carryover
is
available
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
to
be
applied
against
future
net
realized
capital
gains,
if
any,
realized
subsequent
to
February
28,
2025.
The
fund
has
$63,211
of
short-term
capital
losses
and
$313,034
of
long-term
capital
losses
which
can
be
carried
forward
for
an
unlimited
period.
The
fund
had
no
distributions
paid
to
shareholders
during
the
fiscal
years
ended
February
28,
2025
and
February
29,
2024.
During
the
period
ended
February
28,
2025,
as
a
result
of
permanent
book
to
tax
differences,
the
fund
increased
total
distributable
earnings
by
$62,433
and
decreased
paid-in
capital
by
the
same
amount.
These
permanent
book
to
tax
differences
are
primarily
due
to
the
tax
treatment
for
net
operating
losses.
Net
assets
and
net
asset
value
per
share
were
not
affected
by
these
reclassifications.
(g)
Operating
Segment
Reporting:
In
this
reporting
period,
the
fund
adopted
FASB
Accounting
Standards
Update
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
the
fund’s
financial
position
or
the
results
of
its
operations.
The
ASU
2023-07
is
effective
for
public
entities
for
fiscal
years
beginning
after
December
15,
2023,
and
requires
retrospective
application
for
all
prior
periods
presented
within
the
financial
statements.
Since
its
commencement,
the
fund
operates
and
is
managed
as
a
single
reportable
segment
deriving
returns
in
the
form
of
dividends,
interest
and/or
gains
from
the
investments
made
in
pursuit
of
its
single
stated
investment
objective
as
outlined
in
the
fund’s
prospectus.
The
accounting
policies
of
the
fund
are
consistent
with
those
described
in
these
Notes
to
the
Financial
Statements.
The
chief
operating
decision
maker
(“CODM”)
is
represented
by
BNY
Investments,
the
management
of
the
fund’s
adviser,
comprising
of
Senior
management
and
Directors.
The
CODM
considers
net
increase
in
net
assets
resulting
from
operations
in
deciding
whether
to
purchase
additional
investments
or
to
make
distributions
to
its
shareholders.
Detailed
financial
information
for
the
fund
is
disclosed
within

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
0.50%
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
expenses,
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.
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
February
28,
2025,
there
was
no
reduction
in
expenses
pursuant
to
the
undertaking.
13
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
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
0.25%
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
arrangement
with
The
Bank
of
New
York
Mellon
(the
“Custodian”),
a
subsidiary
of
BNY
and
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser, whereby
the
fund
will
receive
interest
income
or
be
charged
overdraft
fees
when
cash
balances
are
maintained.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
the
fund
includes
this
interest
income
and
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
as
interest
income
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
The
components
of
“Due
to
BNY
Mellon
ETF Investment
Adviser,
LLC”
in
the
Statement
of

consist
of:
Management
fee
of $6,475.
(c)
Each
Board
member
serves
as
a
Board
member
of
each
fund
within
the
Trust.
The
Board
members
are
not
compensated
directly
by
the
fund.
The
Board
members
are
paid
by
the
Adviser
from
the
unitary
management
fees
paid
to
the
Adviser
by
the
funds
within
the
Trust,
including
the
fund.
NOTE
4—Securities
Transactions:
The
aggregate
amount
of
purchases
and
sales
of
investment
securities,
excluding
short-term
securities
and
in-kind
transactions,
if
any,
during
the
period
ended
February
28,
2025, amounted
to $6,661,303
and
$6,539,162,
respectively.
At February
28,
2025,
the
cost
of
investments
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
was
$10,960,079;
accordingly,
accumulated
net
unrealized
appreciation on
investments
for
federal

tax
purposes
was
$5,067,297,
consisting
of
gross
appreciation
of
$5,574,810
and
gross
depreciation
of
$507,513.
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
February
28,
2025,
MBC
Investments
Corporation,
a

BNY,
held
379,401

NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(continued)
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
year
ended
February
28,
2025
,
the
fund
had
no
in-
kind
transactions
.

Opinion
on

Financial

We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and

of
BNY
Mellon
Innovators
ETF
(the
“Fund”)
(one
of
the
funds
constituting

including
the

as
of
February

and
the

for
the

and
the

through
February
29,
2024
and
the
related
notes
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial

In
our
opinion,
the
financial

present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
(one
of
the

constituting
BNY

and
the

from

2023
(commencement

in
conformity
with
U.S.
generally
accepted
accounting
principles.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Trust’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
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
Trust
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
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
The
Trust
is
not
required
to
have,
nor
were
we
engaged
to
perform,
an
audit
of
the
Trust’s
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
Trust’s
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,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
February
28,
2025,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
brokers
and
others;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers
and
others,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
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.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.
We
have
served
as
the
auditor
of
one
or
more
investment
companies
in
the
BNY
Mellon
Family
of
Funds
since
at
least
1957,
but
we
are
unable
to
determine
the
specific
year.

ETF (the “fund”) is a
separate
non-diversified series
of
BNY
Mellon
ETF
Trust
(the
“Trust”),
which is
registered as
a
Massachusetts
business
trust
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“Act”),
as
an
open-
ended
management
investment
company.
The
Trust
operates
as
a
series
company
currently
consisting
of
twelve
series,
including
the
fund.
The
investment
objective
of
the
fund
is
to
seek
long-term
capital
growth.
BNY
Mellon
ETF
Investment
Adviser,
LLC
(the
“Adviser”),
a
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
The
Bank
of
New

Mellon
Corporation
(“BNY”),
serves
as
the
fund’s
investment
adviser. Newton
Investment
Management
North
America,
LLC (the
“Sub-Adviser”
or
“NIMNA”),
an
indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BNY
and
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser,
serves
as
the
fund’s
sub-adviser.
NIMNA
has
entered
into
a
sub-sub-investment
advisory
agreement
with
its
affiliate,
Newton
Investment
Management
Limited
(“NIM”),
which
enables
NIM
to
provide
certain
advisory
services
to
the
Sub-Adviser
for
the
benefit
of
the
fund,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
portfolio
management
services.
NIM
is
subject
to
the
supervision
of
NIMNA
and
the
Adviser.
NIM
is
also
an

of
the
Adviser.
NIM,
located
at
160
Queen
Victoria
Street,
London,
EC4V,
4LA,
England,
was
formed
in
1978.
NIM
is

subsidiary
of
BNY.
The
Bank
of
New

Mellon,
a
subsidiary
of
BNY
and
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser,
serves
as
administrator,
custodian
and
transfer
agent
with
the
Trust.
BNY
Mellon
Securities
Corporation
(the
“Distributor”),
a wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
the
Adviser,
is
the
distributor
of
the
fund’s
shares.
The
shares
of
the
fund
are
referred
to
herein
as
“Shares”
or
“Fund
Shares.”
Fund
Shares
are
listed
and
traded
on
The
NASDAQ
Stock
Market
LLC.
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
The
NASDAQ
Stock
Market
LLC,
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
Shares
of
the
fund
(ask).

2—Significant
Accounting
Policies: 
The
Financial

(“ASC”)
is
the

of
authoritative
U.S.
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
(“GAAP”)
recognized
by
the
FASB
to
be
applied
by
nongovernmental
entities.
Rules
and
interpretive
releases
of
the
SEC
under
authority
of
federal
laws
are
also
sources
of
authoritative
GAAP
for
SEC
registrants. The
fund
is an
investment
company
and
applies
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
of
the
FASB
ASC
Topic
946
Financial
Services-Investment
Companies. The
fund’s
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
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.
11
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:
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
equity
securities,
including
ETFs
(but
not
including
investments
in
other
open-end
registered
investment
companies),
generally
are
valued
at
the
last
sales
price
on
the
day
of
valuation
on
the
securities
exchange
or
national
securities
market
on
which
such
securities
primarily
are
traded.
Securities
listed
on
the
National
Association
of
Securities
Dealers
Automated
Quotation
System
(“NASDAQ”)
for
which
market
quotations
are
available
will
be
valued
at
the
official
closing
price.
If
there
are
no
transactions
in
a
security,
or
no
official
closing
prices
for
a
NASDAQ
market-listed
security
on
that
day,
the
security
will
be
valued
at
the
average
of
the
most
recent
bid
and
asked
prices.
Bid
price
is
used
when
no
asked
price
is
available.
Open
short
positions
for
which
there
is
no
sale
price
on
a
given
day
are
valued
at
the
lowest
asked
price.
Registered
investment
companies
that
are
not
traded
on
an
exchange
are
valued
at
their
net
asset
value.
All
of
the
preceding
securities
are
generally
categorized
within
Level
1
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 February
28,
2025
in
valuing
the

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

is
recognized
on
the
ex-dividend

and
interest
income,
including,
where
applicable,
accretion

and
amortization
of

is
recognized
on
the
accrual
basis.
Pursuant
to
a
securities
lending
agreement
with
BNY,
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
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
year
ended
February
28,
2025,
BNY
earned
$4 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
February
28,
2025,
the

(c)
Affiliated
issuers:
Investments
in
other
investment
companies
advised
by
the
Adviser
or
its
affiliates are
defined
as
“affiliated”
under
the
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.
Investment
Theme Risk:
The
fund’s
incorporation
of
Women’s
Opportunities
considerations
into
its
investment
approach
may
cause
the
fund
to
make
different
investments
than
funds
that
invest
principally
in
equity
securities
but
do
not
incorporate
Women’s
Opportunities
considerations
when
selecting
investments.
Under
certain
economic
conditions,
this
could
cause
the
fund
to
underperform
funds
that
do
not
incorporate
Women’s
Opportunities
considerations.
For
example,
the
incorporation
of
Women’s
Opportunities
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
Women’s
Opportunities
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.
NIMNA’s
security
selection
process
incorporates
Women’s
Opportunities
data
provided
by
third
parties,
which
may
be
limited
for
certain
issuers
and/or
only
take
into
account
one
or
a
few
Women’s
Opportunities
related
components.
In
addition,
Women’s
Opportunities
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
Women’s
Opportunities
data.
Women’s
Opportunities
data
from
third
parties
used
by
NIMNA
as
part
of
its
process
often
lacks
standardization,
consistency
and
transparency,
and
for
certain
issuers
such
data
may
not
be
available
complete
or
accurate.
NIMNA’s
evaluation
of
Women’s
Opportunities
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
Women’s
Opportunities
data
from
other
sources
or
utilize
other
methodologies.
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.
Fluctuation
of
Net
Asset
Value,
Share
Premiums
and
Discounts
Risk:
As
will
all
exchange-traded
funds,
fund
shares
may
be
bought
and
sold
in
the
secondary
market
at
market
prices.
The
trading
prices
of
fund
shares
in
the
secondary
market
may
differ
from
the
fund’s
daily
net
asset
value
per
share
and
there
may
be
times
when
the
market
price
of
the
shares
is
more
than
the
net
asset
value
per
share
(premium)
or
less
than
the
net
asset
value
per
share
(discount).
This
risk
is
heightened
in
times
of
market
volatility
or
periods
of
steep
market
declines.
Non-Diversification
Risk:
T
he
fund
is
non-diversified,
which
means
that
the
fund
may
invest
a
relatively
high
percentage
of
its
assets
in
a
limited
number
of
issuers.
Therefore,
the
fund’s
performance
may
be
more
vulnerable
to
changes
in
the
market
value
of
a
single
issuer
or
group
of
issuers
and
more
susceptible
to
risks
associated
with
a
single
economic,
political
or
regulatory
occurrence
than
a
diversified
fund. 
(e)
Dividends
and
distributions
to
shareholders:
Dividends
and
distributions are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Dividends
from
net
investment
income
and
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.
(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 February
28,
2025,
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 February
28,
2025,
the
fund
did
not
incur
any
interest
or
penalties.
The
tax
year
in
the
two-year
period ended February
28,
2025
remains
subject
to
examination
by
the
Internal
Revenue
Service
and
state
taxing
authorities. 
At February
28,
2025,
the
components
of
accumulated
earnings
on
a
tax
basis
were
as
follows:
undistributed
ordinary
income
$13,679,
undistributed
capital
gains
$87,242
and
unrealized appreciation
$3,804,474.
The
tax
character
of
distributions
paid
to
shareholders
during
the
fiscal
years
ended
February
28,
2025
and
February
29,
2024
were
as
follows:
ordinary
income
$50,124
and
$30,456,
respectively.
(g)
Operating
Segment
Reporting:
In
this
reporting
period,
the
fund
adopted
FASB
Accounting
Standards
Update
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
the
fund’s
financial
position
or
the
results
of
its
operations.
The
ASU
2023-07
is
effective
for
public
entities
for
fiscal
years
beginning
after
December
15,
2023,
and
requires
retrospective
application
for
all
prior
periods
presented
within
the
financial
statements.
Since
its
commencement,
the
fund
operates
and
is
managed
as
a
single
reportable
segment
deriving
returns
in
the
form
of
dividends,
interest
and/or
gains
from
the
investments
made
in
pursuit
of
its
single
stated
investment
objective
as
outlined
in
the
fund’s
prospectus.
The
accounting
policies
of
the
fund
are
consistent
with
those
described
in
these
Notes
to
the
Financial
Statements.
The
chief
operating
decision
maker
(“CODM”)
is
represented
by
BNY
Investments,
the
management
of
the
fund’s
adviser,
comprising
of
Senior
management
and
Directors.
The
CODM
considers
net
increase
in
net
assets
resulting
from
operations
in
deciding
whether
to
purchase
additional
investments
or
to
make
distributions
to
its
shareholders.
Detailed

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
0.50%
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
expenses,
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.
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
February
28,
2025,
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
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
0.25%
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
arrangement
with
The
Bank
of
New
York
Mellon
(the
“Custodian”),
a
subsidiary
of
BNY
and
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser, whereby
the
fund
will
receive
interest
income
or
be
charged
overdraft
fees
when
cash
balances
are
maintained.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
the
fund
includes
this
interest
income
and
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
as
interest
income
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.

4—Securities
Transactions:
The
aggregate
amount
of
purchases
and
sales
of
investment
securities,
excluding
short-term
securities
and
in-kind
transactions,
if
any,
during
the
period
ended
February
28,
2025, amounted
to $5,959,202
and
$6,107,195,
respectively.
At February

2025,
the
cost
of
investments
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
was
$11,752,884;
accordingly,
accumulated
net
unrealized
appreciation on

was
$3,804,474,
consisting
of
gross
appreciation
of
$3,997,953
and
gross
depreciation
of
$193,479.
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
February
28,
2025,
MBC
Investments
Corporation,
a
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
BNY,
held
381,701
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
year
ended
February
28,
2025
,
the
fund
had
no
in-
kind
transactions
.

REPORT

FIRM
To
the
Shareholders
and
the
Board
of
Trustees
of
BNY
Mellon
Women’s
Opportunities
ETF
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities
of
BNY
Mellon
Women’s
Opportunities
ETF
(the
“Fund”)
(one
of
the
funds
constituting
BNY
Mellon
ETF
Trust
(the
“Trust”)),
including
the
statement
of
investments,
as
of
February
28,
2025,
and
the
related
statement
of
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
statements
of
changes
in
net
assets
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
year
ended
February
28,
2025
and
the
period
from
May
18,
2023
(commencement
of
operations)
through
February
29,
2024
and
the
related
notes
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
(one
of
the
funds
constituting
BNY
Mellon
ETF
Trust)
at
February
28,
2025,
the
results
of
its
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
its
net
assets
and
its
financial
highlights
for
the
year
ended
February
28,
2025
and
the
period
from
May
18,
2023
(commencement
of
operations)
through
February
29,
2024,
in
conformity
with
U.S.
generally
accepted
accounting
principles.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Trust’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
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
Trust
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
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
The
Trust
is
not
required
to
have,
nor
were
we
engaged
to
perform,
an
audit
of
the
Trust’s
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
Trust’s
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,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
February
28,
2025,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
brokers
and
others;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers
and
others,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
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.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.
We
have
served
as
the
auditor
of
one
or
more
investment
companies
in
the
BNY
Mellon
Family
of
Funds
since
at
least
1957,
but
we
are
unable
to
determine
the
specific
year.
