1.Organization

 

ETFS Trust ( the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 9, 2014 and is authorized to issue multiple series or portfolios. The Trust currently consists of four series (collectively the ‘Funds” or individually a “Fund”): ETFS Zacks Earnings Large-Cap U.S. Index Fund, ETFS Zacks Earnings Small-Cap U.S. Index Fund (each, a “Zacks Earnings Fund” and, together, the “Zacks Earnings Funds”), ETFS Diversified-Factor U.S. Large Cap Index Fund and ETFS Diversified-Factor Developed Europe Index Fund (each, a “Diversified Factor Fund” and, together, the “Diversified Factor Funds”). The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The offering of the Trust’s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

Each Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in securities issued by issuers that comprise its relevant index and through transactions that provide substantially similar exposure to securities in the index. Each Fund operates as an index fund and will not be actively managed.

 

The Trust has had no operations from January 2, 2015 (initial seeding date) until each Fund’s respective commencement of operations date other than matters relating to its registration and the sale and issuance of 4,000 shares of beneficial interest in the ETFS Zacks Earnings Small-Cap U.S. Index Fund to the Fund’s adviser, ETF Securities Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”), at a net asset value of $25 per share. The ETFS Zacks Earnings Large-Cap U.S. Index Fund and ETFS Zacks Earnings Small-Cap U.S. Index Fund commenced operations on January 20, 2015. The ETFS Diversified-Factor U.S. Large Cap Index Fund and ETFS Diversified-Factor Developed Europe Index Fund commenced operations on January 27, 2015.

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation:

 

The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares is calculated each day the national securities exchanges are open for trading as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange Arca (“NYSE Arca” or the “Listing Exchange”), generally 4:00 p.m. New York time (the “NAV Calculation Time”).

 

NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

 

In calculating each Fund’s NAV, Fund investments generally are valued using market valuations. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty (60) days or less generally are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates fair value. U.S. fixed income assets may be valued as of the announced closing time for such securities on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association announces an early closing time. The values of any assets or liabilities of a Fund that are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars using an exchange rate deemed appropriate by the Fund.

 

In certain instances, such as when reliable market valuations are not readily available or are not deemed to reflect current market values, the Fund’s investments will be valued in accordance with the Fund’s pricing policy and procedures. Securities that may be valued using fair value pricing may include, but are not limited to, securities for which there are no current market quotations or whose issuer is in default or bankruptcy, securities subject to corporate actions (such as mergers or reorganizations), securities subject to non-U.S. investment limits or currency controls, and securities affected by “significant events.” An example of a significant event is an event occurring after the close of the market in which a security trades but before the Fund’s next NAV Calculation Time that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investment (e.g., government action, natural disaster, or significant market fluctuation). Price movements in U.S. markets that are deemed to affect the value of foreign securities, or reflect changes to the value of such securities, also may cause securities to be “fair valued.”

 

When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

 

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

 
 

ETFS Trust

Notes to the Schedules of Investments

March 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

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 each 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. For example, short-term debt securities may be valued at amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

 

The following is a summary of the valuations as of March 31, 2015, for each Fund based upon the three levels defined above. There were no Level 2 and Level 3 investments held for the period ending March 31, 2015.
