Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is available in each Fund’s prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained by visiting the Funds’ website at www.qraftaietf.com. Please read a Fund’s prospectus carefully before you invest.

There are risks involved with investing, including possible loss of principal, and there is no guarantee each Fund will achieve its investment objective. The QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF and the QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF are classified as non-diversified investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF is classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act. Concentration in a particular industry or sector will subject each Fund to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or sector.

The funds rely heavily on a proprietary artificial intelligence selection model as well as data and information supplied by third parties that are utilized by such model. To the extent the model does not perform as designed or as intended, a fund's strategy may not be successfully implemented and the fund may lose value.

Individual shares of each Fund may be purchased or sold in the secondary market throughout the regular trading day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) through a brokerage account. However, shares are not individually redeemable directly from a Fund. Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large blocks of shares (“Creation Units”).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

April 30, 2023  

(Unaudited)  

Dear Shareholders,

Thank you for your investment in the QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF (“QRFT” or the “Fund”). The information presented in this report relates to the operations of QRFT for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks capital appreciation by utilizing a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) system developed by Qraft Technologies, Inc. to select a portfolio of large-capitalization U.S. stocks. The AI system generates a database of stocks with exposure to a variety of factors affecting the U.S. market including, but not limited to, quality (generally, a company’s profitability), size (market capitalization), value (comparison of a company’s market value versus its book value), momentum (a security’s recent price returns compared to the overall market over time), and volatility (a security’s systematic risk as compared to the market as a whole).

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, macroeconomic conditions were challenging as investors grappled with uncertainty about the economy and rising interest rates. Compared to S&P 500® Index, the Fund was, on average, overweight the Industrials Sector (contributed 1.87% to the total return) while underweight the Information Technology Sector (contributed 0.62% to the total return) during this period. Over the fiscal year, the Fund’s holdings in the Industrials Sector (overweight) and Health Care Sector (underweight) contributed the most to the Fund’s positive performance.

The Fund had positive performance during the fiscal year ended on April 30, 2023. The Fund’s market price increased 0.89% and the net asset value increased 0.83% while the S&P 500® Index, a broad market equity index, gained 2.66%.

The Fund commenced operations on May 20, 2019, and had 125,001 shares outstanding on April 30, 2023.

We appreciate your investment in the QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF.

Sincerely,

J. Garrett Stevens
Chief Executive Officer
Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC, Adviser to the Fund

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed or sold in the market, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a Fund’s returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

Current performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. For the Fund’s most recent month end performance, please visit www.qraftaietf.com.

There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.

The Fund’s holdings and allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities. The information provided herein represents the opinion of Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC for the period stated and is subject to change at any time.

The S&P 500® Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

The Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange. The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather than net asset value, shares may trade at a price greater than net asset value (premium) or less than net asset value (discount).

Net asset value (“NAV”) - The dollar value of a single share is calculated by taking the value of the underlying assets of the fund minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. Calculated at the end of each business day.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

April 30, 2023  

(Unaudited)  

Dear Shareholders,

Thank you for your investment in the QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF (“AMOM” or the “Fund”). The information presented in this report relates to the operations of AMOM for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks capital appreciation by utilizing a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) system developed by Qraft Technologies, Inc. to select a portfolio of large-capitalization U.S. stocks. The AI system generates a database of stocks with exposure to momentum factors, which relate to the rate of acceleration of a security’s price.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, macroeconomic conditions were challenging as investors grappled with uncertainty about the economy and rising interest rates. Compared to the MSCI USA Momentum SR Variant Index, an index that aims to reflect the performance of Momentum factor with a simple and transparent methodology, the Fund was, on average, overweight the Consumer Discretionary Sector and underweight Health Care Sector, contributing to the entire portfolio by 3.49% and 2.56%, respectively during this period. Over the fiscal year, those two sectors contributed the most to the Fund’s positive performance.

The Fund had positive performance during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023. The Fund’s market price increased 4.74% and the net asset value increased 4.65% while the S&P 500® Index, a broad market equity index, gained 2.66%.

The Fund commenced operations on May 20, 2019, and had 425,001 shares outstanding on April 30, 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

April 30, 2023  

(Unaudited)  

Dear Shareholders,

Thank you for your investment in the QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF (“NVQ” or the “Fund”). The information presented in this report relates to the operations of NVQ for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks capital appreciation by utilizing a value investing strategy enhanced by the use of a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) system provided by Qraft Technologies, Inc. to select a portfolio of U.S. stocks. The AI system generates a database of stocks based on the theory that a value investing strategy that adjusts a company’s book value by taking into account future intangible assets in addition to typical value factors may outperform more conventional value investing strategies that do not take such assets into account in comparing a company’s book value to its intrinsic value.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, macroeconomic conditions were challenging as investors grappled with uncertainty about the economy and rising interest rates. Compared to the MSCI USA Enhanced Value Index, an index that captures large and mid-cap representation across the US Equity Markets exhibiting overall value-style characteristics (e.g. low price relative to dividends, earnings or sales), the Fund was, on average, overweight the Financials Sector and Energy Sector which affected to the Fund performance by -3.32% and -0.04%, respectively during this period. Despite providing negative returns over the fiscal year, the Fund’s holdings in the Consumer Discretionary Sector (underweight) and Industrials Sector (overweight) contributed the most to the Fund’s performance, adding 4.06% and 1.65% to the total return, respectively.

The Fund had negative performance during the fiscal year ended on April 30, 2023. The Fund’s market price decreased 2.98% and the net asset value decreased 3.20% while the S&P 500® Index, a broad market equity index, gained 2.66%.

The Fund commenced operations on December 2, 2020, and had 175,000 shares outstanding on April 30, 2023.

We appreciate your investment in the QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

April 30, 2023  

  

Note 1 – Organization

Exchange Listed Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on April 4, 2012 as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company. The Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The Trust has registered its Shares in multiple separate series. The assets of each series in the Trust are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the series in which Shares are held. The financial statements presented herein relate to the funds listed below and are individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”:

QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF

QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF

QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF

Each Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Unlike index ETFs, actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a specified index. Instead, each Fund uses an active investment strategy in seeking to meet its investment objective.

The QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF and the QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF each seek to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amounts of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of U.S. listed large capitalization companies (as such term is defined in each Fund’s prospectus). The QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amounts of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of U.S. listed companies.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Trust is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”

(a) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value each Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of the securities.

(b) Valuation of Investments

Each Fund records investments at fair value using procedures approved by the Board and are generally valued using market valuations (Market Approach). A market valuation generally means a valuation (i) obtained from an exchange, a pricing service, or a major market maker (or dealer) or (ii) based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service, or a major market maker (or dealer). A price obtained from a pricing service based on such pricing service’s valuation matrix may be considered a market valuation. Any assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars at the current market rates on the date of valuation as quoted by one or more sources.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

April 30, 2023  

  

In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, establishing requirements to determine fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The rule permits fund boards to designate a fund’s investment adviser to perform fair-value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. The rule also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and requires a fund to fair value a portfolio investment when a market quotation is not readily available. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act, which sets forth recordkeeping requirements associated with fair-value determinations.

Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5, the Board (i) has designated the Adviser as the Board’s valuation designee to perform fair-value determinations for the Fund through the Adviser’s Valuation Committee and (ii) approved the Adviser’s Valuation Procedures.

In the event that current market valuations are not readily available or such valuations do not reflect current fair market value, the Trust’s procedures require the Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Trust’s Board-approved valuation procedures, to determine a security’s fair value. In determining such value, the Valuation Committee may consider, among other things, (i) price comparisons among multiple sources, (ii) a review of corporate actions and news events, and (iii) a review of relevant financial indicators (e.g., movement in interest rates or market indices). Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security. With respect to securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges, the value of each Fund’s portfolio securities may change on days when the investors will not be able to purchase or sell their Shares.

Each Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of each Fund (observable inputs) and (2) each Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:

        Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

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

        Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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.

Pursuant to the valuation procedures noted previously, equity securities and short-term investments are generally categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (unless there is a fair valuation event, in which case affected securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3).

The following is a summary of the valuations as of April 30, 2023 for each Fund based upon the three levels defined above:

(a)  See Schedule of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

(c) Investment Transactions and Related Income

For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. However, for daily NAV determination, portfolio securities transactions are reflected no later than in the first calculation on the first business day following trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount, using the effective yield method. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend and Interest Income on the Statements of Operations is shown net of any foreign taxes withheld on income from foreign securities, which are provided for in accordance with each Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations.

(d) Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounting records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Financial instruments and other assets and liabilities of each Fund denominated in a foreign currency, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of financial instruments, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Each Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from those resulting from changes in values to financial instruments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from transactions in financial instruments and foreign currencies, currency exchange fluctuations between the trade and settlement date of such transactions, and the difference between the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including financial instruments, resulting from changes in currency exchange rates. Each Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received, capital gains on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions (a portion of which may be reclaimable). All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which each Fund invests.

(e) Federal Income Tax

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required as long as each Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company.

Management of each Fund has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., greater than 50%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in an increase in a liability for taxes payable (or a reduction of a tax refund receivable), including the recognition of any related interest and penalties as an operating expense. In general, tax positions taken in previous tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities (generally three years for federal income tax purposes). The determination has been made that there are not any uncertain tax positions that would require each Fund to record a tax liability and, therefore, there is no impact to the Fund’s

26

EXCHANGE LISTED FUNDS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

financial statements. Each Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statements of Operations. As of April 30, 2023, the Funds did not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.

(f) Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund pays out dividends from its net investment income at least quarterly and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to investors at least annually. Each Fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distributions requirement of the Code, in all events in a manner consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act.

The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital and distribution reclassifications), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and straddles) do not require a reclassification.

Note 3 – Transactions with Affiliates and Other Servicing Agreements

(a) Investment Advisory and Administrative Services

Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to each Fund and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds, including, among other things, providing an investment program for each Fund, trading portfolio securities on behalf of each Fund, and selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, subject to the oversight of the Board. For the services it provides, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Effective January 2, 2023, ETC Platform Services, LLC (“ETC Platform Services”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, began providing services to each Fund. ETC Platform Services administers each Fund’s business affairs and provides office facilities and equipment, certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services, paying agent services under each Fund’s unitary fee arrangement (as described below), and its officers and employees to serve as officers or Trustees of the Trust. ETC Platform Services also arranges for transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution related services necessary for each Fund to operate. For the services it provides to each Fund, ETC Platform Services is paid a fee calculated daily and paid monthly based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of each Fund (including the fee charged by ETC Platform Services) except for the advisory fee, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (collectively, “Excluded Expenses”).

QRAFT Technologies, Inc. (“Qraft”) is the Funds’ sponsor. In connection with an arrangement between the Adviser and Qraft, Qraft has agreed to assume the Adviser’s obligation to pay all expenses of the Funds (except the Excluded Expenses) and, to the extent applicable, pay the Adviser a minimum fee. Qraft will also provide marketing support for the Funds including, but not limited to, distributing each Fund’s materials and providing the Funds with access to and the use of Qraft’s other marketing capabilities, including communications through print and electronic media. For its services, Qraft is entitled to a fee from the Adviser, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Qraft does not make investment decisions, provide investment advice, or otherwise act in the capacity of an investment adviser to the Funds.

An Interested Trustee and certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser and receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as officers and/or Trustee.

April 30, 2023  

  

(b) Distribution Arrangement

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, is the principal underwriter and distributor of each Fund’s Shares. The Distributor does not maintain any secondary market in any Fund’s Shares.

The Trust has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan (the “Distribution and Service Plan”) pursuant to which payments of up to a maximum of 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets may be made to compensate or reimburse financial intermediaries for activities principally intended to result in the sale of each Fund’s Shares. In accordance with the Distribution and Service Plan, the Distributor may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries and dealers relating to distribution and/or marketing services with respect to the Trust.

Currently, no payments are made under the Distribution and Service Plan. Such payments may only be made after approval by the Board. The Adviser and its affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Trust.

(c) Other Servicing Agreements

The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) serves as the Fund’s fund accountant, transfer agent, custodian and administrator.

Note 5 – Capital Share Transactions

Fund Shares are listed and traded on the Exchange each day that the Exchange is open for business (“Business Day”). Each Fund’s Shares may only be purchased and sold on the Exchange through a broker-dealer. Because each Fund’s Shares trade at market prices rather than at their NAV, Shares may trade at a price equal to NAV, greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).

Each Fund offers and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Fund Shares may only be purchased from or redeemed directly from each Fund by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Creation Units are available for purchase and redemption on each Business Day and are offered and redeemed on an in-kind basis, together with the specified cash amount, or for an all cash amount.

To the extent contemplated by a Participant Agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed by the

28

EXCHANGE LISTED FUNDS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

April 30, 2023  

  

Distributor, on behalf of each Fund, by the time as set forth in a Participant Agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the market value as set forth in the Participant Agreement. A Participant Agreement may permit each Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of each Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral.

Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the Shares directly from each Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker, which will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee may be imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units, and investors will be required to pay a creation transaction fee regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction. Each Fund may adjust the creation transaction fee from time to time based upon actual experience. In addition, a variable fee may be imposed for cash purchases, non-standard orders, or partial cash purchases of Creation Units. The variable fee is primarily designed to cover non-standard charges, e.g., brokerage, taxes, foreign exchange, execution, market impact, and other costs and expenses, related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction. Each Fund may adjust the non-standard charge from time to time based upon actual experience. Investors who use the services of an Authorized Participant, broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services which may include an amount for the creation transaction fee and non-standard charges. Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the deposit securities to the account of the Trust. The Adviser may retain all or a portion of the transaction fee to the extent the Adviser bears the expenses that otherwise would be borne by the Trust in connection with the issuance of a Creation Unit, which the transaction fee is designed to cover. The standard Creation Unit transaction fees for QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF, QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF and QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF are $1,750, $250 and $500, respectively, regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction.

A redemption transaction fee may be imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units, and Authorized Participants will be required to pay a redemption transaction fee regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction. The redemption transaction fee is the same no matter how many Creation Units are being redeemed pursuant to any one redemption request. Each Fund may adjust the redemption transaction fee from time to time based upon actual experience. In addition, a variable fee, payable to each Fund, may be imposed for cash redemptions, non-standard orders, or partial cash redemptions for each Fund. The variable fee is primarily designed to cover non-standard charges, e.g., brokerage, taxes, foreign exchange, execution, market impact, and other costs and expenses, related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction. Investors who use the services of an Authorized Participant, broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services which may include an amount for the redemption transaction fees and non-standard charges. Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting each Fund’s securities to the account of the Trust. The non-standard charges are payable to each Fund as it incurs costs in connection with the redemption of Creation Units, the receipt of each Fund’s securities and the cash redemption amount and other transactions costs. The standard redemption transaction fees for QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF, QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF and QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF are $1,750, $250 and $500, respectively, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed in the transaction.

Note 6 – Principal Risks

As with any investment, an investor could lose all or part of their investment in each Fund and each Fund’s performance could trail that of other investments. Each Fund is subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. Additional principal risks are disclosed in the Funds’ prospectus. Please refer to the relevant Fund’s prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks of investing in that Fund.

29

EXCHANGE LISTED FUNDS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

April 30, 2023  

  

Market Risk. The market price of an investment could decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of an investment also may decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries such as labor shortages, increased production costs, and competitive conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the market generally and on specific investments. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.

Models and Data Risk. Each Fund relies heavily on a proprietary artificial intelligence selection model as well as data and information supplied by third parties that are utilized by such model. To the extent the model does not perform as designed or as intended, each Fund’s strategy may not be successfully implemented, and each Fund may lose value. If the model or data are incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities that would have been excluded or included had the model or data been correct and complete.

Non-Diversification Risk (QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF and QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF only). As non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, each Fund may hold a smaller number of portfolio securities than many other funds and may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund. To the extent a Fund invests in a relatively small number of issuers, a decline in the market value of a particular security held by that Fund may affect its value more than if it invested in a larger number of issuers. The value of a Fund’s shares may be more volatile than the values of shares of more diversified funds.

Sector Focus Risk. Each Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors. Each Fund identifies its sector weightings in its Summary of Investments and the sector exposure is expected to vary over time.

Note 7 – Federal Income Taxes

GAAP requires certain components of net assets to be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. For the year ended April 30, 2023, the following amounts, resulting primarily from the differing book and tax treatment relating to the reversal of gains and losses emanating from redemption-in-kind transactions have been reclassified:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Concluded)

 

April 30, 2023 

  

Note 8 – Recent Market Events

Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the market generally and on specific securities. Periods of market volatility may occur in response to such events and other economic, political, and global macro factors. The COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and higher inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, economic downturns around the world, severe losses to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of certain instruments. These events have caused significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of such events; and widespread uncertainty regarding the long-term effects of such events.

Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, took extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by keeping interest rates at historically low levels for an extended period. The Federal Reserve concluded its market support activities in 2022 and began to raise interest rates in an effort to fight inflation. The Federal Reserve may determine to raise interest rates further. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic, inflation, or other significant events in the future may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results.

Note 9 – Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End

In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined there are no subsequent events that would require disclosure in a Fund’s financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ 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 Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

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 April 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 advised by Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC since 2012.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES

 

April 30, 2023  

(Unaudited)   

All ETFs have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur an advisory fee. In addition to the advisory fee, a shareholder may pay brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses), if any. It is important for you to understand the impact of these ongoing costs on your investment returns. Shareholders may incur brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of Funds’ shares, which are not reflected in these examples.

The following examples use the annualized expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (unless otherwise noted below). The table below illustrates each Fund’s cost in two ways:

Actual Fund Return

This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that the Fund may have incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.

You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% Return

This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.

NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

EXCHANGE LISTED FUNDS TRUST

Review Of Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

April 30, 2023  

(Unaudited)   

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust, on behalf of the series of the Trust covered by this shareholder report (the “Funds”), has adopted a liquidity risk management program to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk. Rule 22e-4 seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management, thereby reducing the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of its shareholders. The Trust’s liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), which adopts the liquidity risk management policies and procedures of Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC, the Trust’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), is tailored to reflect the Funds’ particular risks, but not to eliminate all adverse impacts of liquidity risk, which would be incompatible with the nature of the Funds.

The Adviser, which is the administrator of the Program, has formed a Liquidity Risk Working Group (“LRWG”) consisting of certain individuals from the Adviser’s portfolio management, capital markets and compliance teams. The LRWG is responsible for conducting an initial assessment of the liquidity risk of the Funds and to manage the liquidity risk of the Funds on an ongoing basis. Meetings of the LRWG are held no less than monthly.

At the February 2023 meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the Trustees received a report pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the period ended December 31, 2022. The report concluded that the Program is adequately designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk and has been effectively implemented. The report reflected that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding a Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.
