Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Funds’ annual and semiannual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Funds’ website (www.oshares.com), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Funds electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary (such as your brokerage firm).

Alternatively, you may elect to receive paper copies of all future reports free of charge by contacting your financial intermediary. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held in your account(s) that you invest in through your financial intermediary.


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

  

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

There are risks involved with investing, including possible loss of principal. Concentration in a particular industry or sector may subject the Funds to a greater degree to the risks particular to that industry or sector. A Fund’s emphasis on dividend paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Also, a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend after a Fund’s purchase of such a company’s securities. The securities of small and mid-capitalization companies are often more volatile and less liquid than the stocks of larger companies and may be more affected than other types of securities during market downturns. Compared to larger companies, small and mid-capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Exposures to foreign securities entail special risks, including political, diplomatic and economic risks; regulatory risks; and foreign market and trading risks. In addition, the Fund’s investments in securities denominated in other currencies could decline due to changes in local currency relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the Fund’s returns. See the prospectus for specific risks regarding the Funds.

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

Dear Shareholder,

This Annual Report for the O’Shares Investments ETFs (the “Funds”) covers the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 (the “Period”).

Global Equity Market Overview

Global equity markets were generally positive during the Period, returning over 10% for the S&P 500 Index1 and almost 2% for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index.2

Performance across global equity markets during the Period was driven by several factors, including trade tensions between the U.S. and China and continued quantitative easing in Europe and Japan.

In the U.S., GDP growth was over 2%. The unemployment rate remained under 4% and core inflation decreased moderately.

In Europe, growth slowed moderately, with GDP in the European Union (“E.U.”) over 1%, employment gains were modest, inflation remained low by historical standards and the European Central Bank kept rates unchanged.

Growth in the Asia-Pacific region was stronger, at over 4%, although growth in Japan slowed to below 1% and core inflation remained low. Trade tensions added to China’s slowing growth concerns and weighed on markets.

Monetary policy in the U.S. tightened as the U.S. Federal Reserve increased rates on two occasions, although rates remain low by historical standards. The yield on U.S. 10 Year government bonds decreased, reflecting concerns that economic growth may slow and the increased possibility of a rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Monetary policy in Europe remained accommodative, however the European Central Bank ended their quantitative easing program in December 2018. European government bond yields were volatile and ended the Period lower. Similarly, in the Asia-Pacific region, the Bank of Japan maintained its accommodative monetary policy, government bond yields ended the Period lower, and economic growth slowed.

Corporate profits in the U.S. remained generally strong, particularly in the Communication Services, Health Care and Real Estate sectors.

Equity markets in the U.S. generated strong returns, reflecting stable economic conditions and optimism for a resolution to U.S. and China trade tensions. Volatility in U.S. equity markets was elevated during the fourth quarter of 2018 and parts of 2019, due to several factors, including global trade tensions, shifts in monetary policy, and a slowdown in China’s growth. The strongest performing sector was Utilities, as interest rate sensitive stocks benefited from declining Treasury yields, followed by Information Technology, as technology stocks recovered strongly during the first 2 quarters of 2019, after underperforming the S&P 500 during the last quarter of 2018. The Energy sector was the worst performing sector during the Period, as oil prices declined. Equity market performance in Europe was also positive, as the European Central Bank concluded quantitative easing. In the Asia-Pacific region, slightly negative equity market performance was driven by slowing global economic growth.

The views expressed in this letter were those as of June 30, 2019 and may not necessarily reflect views on the date this letter is first published or anytime thereafter. These views are intended to help shareholders in understanding the Funds’ present investment methodology and do not constitute investment advice.

O’Shares FTSE U.S. Quality Dividend ETF (OUSA) (Unaudited)

The Fund seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the FTSE US Qual/Vol/Yield Factor 5% Capped Index (the “U.S. Target Index”). The U.S. Target Index is designed to reflect the performance of publicly-listed large capitalization and mid-capitalization dividend-paying issuers in the United States exhibiting high quality, low volatility and high dividend yields, as determined by FTSE-Russell (the “Index Provider”). The quality and low volatility factors are designed to reduce exposure to high dividend equities that have experienced large price declines.

On June 28, 2018 an identically named predecessor to the Fund that was a series of FQF Trust (the “OUSA Prior Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund via a tax-free reorganization. The OUSA Prior Fund had the same name, ticker symbol and underlying index as the Fund. The investment objectives of the OUSA Prior Fund and the Fund are identical and the investment strategies of the OUSA Prior Fund and the Fund are substantially the same. The returns presented for the Fund prior to June 28, 2018 reflect the performance of the OUSA Prior Fund. The Fund has adopted the historical performance of the OUSA Prior Fund.

From July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the Fund’s market return was 14.16% and its NAV return was 14.31%. The U.S. Target Index returned 14.94% during the same Reporting Period. The Fund’s market price at June 30, 2019 was $34.11.3

The Fund posted positive performance in nine of the twelve months during the Reporting Period, with returns ranging from -8.01% to 5.83%. The best performing months for the Fund were June 2019 and January 2019, finishing up 5.83% and 5.58%, respectively. The worst performing months for the Fund were December 2018 and May 2019, finishing down -8.01% and -4.91%, respectively.

Nine of the ten sectors in the Fund delivered positive returns during the Reporting Period. Utilities and Consumer Services were among the strongest performing U.S. large cap sectors. Utilities, an interest rate sensitive sector, benefited from declining interest rates during the Reporting Period. In addition, the Energy sector, typically considered to be non-cyclical, generated the weakest returns during the Reporting Period as energy prices declined during the second half of 2018 and only partially recovered during the first half of 2019. Consumer Goods and Basic Materials generally underperformed the market during the Reporting Period.

O’Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF (OUSM) (Unaudited)

The Fund seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the FTSE USA Small Cap ex Real Estate 2Qual/Vol/Yield 3% Capped Factor Index (the “U.S. Small Cap Target Index”). The U.S. Small Cap Target Index is designed to reflect the performance of publicly-listed small capitalization dividend-paying issuers in the United States exhibiting high quality, low volatility and high dividend yields, as determined by FTSE-Russell (the “Index Provider”). The quality and low volatility factors are designed to reduce exposure to high dividend equities that have experienced large price declines, as may occur with some dividend investing strategies. Effective May 4, 2018, the U.S. Small Cap Target Index was changed to the FTSE USA Small Cap ex Real Estate 2Qual/Vol/Yield 3% Capped Factor Index from the FTSE USA Small Cap Qual/Vol/Yield 3% Capped Factor Index. The Small Cap Target Index performance information reflects the blended performance of FTSE USA Small Cap Qual/Vol/Yield 3% Capped Factor Index through May 3, 2018 and the FTSE USA Small Cap ex Real Estate 2Qual/Vol/Yield 3% Capped Factor Index thereafter.

From July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the Fund’s market return was 3.53% and its NAV return was 3.65%. The U.S. Small Cap Target Index returned 4.14% during the same Reporting Period. The Fund’s market price at June 30, 2019 was $27.45.3

The Fund posted positive performance in seven of the twelve months during the Reporting Period, with returns ranging from -10.57% to 8.69%. The best performing months for the Fund were January 2019 and June 2019, finishing up 8.69% and 7.73%, respectively. The worst performing months for the Fund were December 2018 and October 2018, finishing down -10.57% and -9.02% respectively.

Six of the ten sectors in the Fund delivered positive returns during the Reporting Period. Utilities and Information Technology were among the strongest performing U.S. small cap sectors. Technology stocks recovered during the first half of 2019 after declining during the last 6 months of 2018. Interest rate sensitive sectors, including Utilities, benefited from declining treasury yields during the Reporting Period. However, the Energy sector, typically considered to be non-cyclical, generated poor returns during the Reporting Period as energy prices declined during the second half of 2018 and only partially recovered during the first half of 2019.

The investment objectives of the OEUR Prior Fund and the Fund are identical and the investment strategies of the OEUR Prior Fund and the Fund are substantially the same. The returns presented for the Fund prior to June 28, 2018 reflect the performance of the OEUR Prior Fund. The Fund has adopted the historical performance of the OEUR Prior Fund.

From July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), the Fund’s market return was 5.25% and its NAV return was 5.16%. The Europe Target Index returned 5.72% during the same Reporting Period. The Fund’s market price at June 30, 2019 was $24.22.3

The Fund posted positive performance in seven of the twelve months during the Reporting Period, with returns ranging from -5.77% to 6.07%. The best performing months for the Fund were June 2019 and January 2019, finishing up 6.07% and 5.87%, respectively. The worst performing months for the Fund were October 2018 and December 2018, finishing -5.77% and -4.53%, respectively.

On a U.S. dollar-denominated basis, eight of the ten sectors in the Fund delivered positive returns during the Reporting Period. Utilities and Health Care were among the stronger performing sectors in Europe. Utilities, an interest rate sensitive sector, benefited from declining interest rates during the Reporting Period. In addition, the Energy sector, typically considered to be non-cyclical, was among the weakest performers during the Reporting Period, as energy prices declined during the second half of 2018 and only partially recovered during the first half of 2019. Telecommunications and Consumer Services generally underperformed the market during the Reporting Period.

Performance measured by NAV differs from the Europe Target Index primarily due to fund fees and expenses and taxes.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Returns less than one year are not annualized. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund’s investment adviser, O’Shares Investment Advisers, LLC (“Adviser”) bears all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except for (i) the management fee, (ii) payments under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 plan, (iii) brokerage expenses (including any costs incidental to transactions in portfolio securities or instruments), (iv) acquired fund fees and expenses, (v) taxes, (vi) interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short and overdraft charges), (vii) litigation expenses (including litigation to which the Trust or the Fund may be a party and indemnification of the trustees and officers with respect thereto) and (viii) other extraordinary or non-routine expenses. As stated in the current prospectus, the current gross expense ratio is 0.48%. Please refer to the Financial Highlights herein for the most recent expense ratio information. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For the Fund’s most recent month-end performance please visit www.oshares.com. Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends but do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, taxes, or other expenses that would be incurred by the Fund or brokerage commissions on transactions in Fund shares. Such fees and expenses and taxes, reduce Fund returns. One cannot invest directly in an index.

On June 28, 2018, the OEUR Prior Fund was reorganized into the Fund. The returns presented for the Fund prior to June 28, 2018 reflect the performance of the OEUR Prior Fund.

Footnotes to Shareholder Letter and Management Discussion of Fund Performance:

1. S&P 500 Index — The Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index consists of 500 large-cap common stocks actively traded on the NYSE and NASDAQ.
2. MSCI ACWI ex USA Index — The MSCI All Country World Index Ex USA Index is comprised of large and mid-cap stocks from developed markets excluding the U.S. The index covers 85% of the global equity investment universe outside the U.S.
3. A Fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the Fund. NAV is calculated by taking the Fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV.
4. Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index.
5. Book Yield (Price/Book Ratio) is equivalent to a firm’s stock price divided by total assets minus intangible assets and liabilities.
6. Earnings Yield (which is the inverse of the P/E ratio) shows the percentage of each dollar invested in the stock that was earned by the company.
7. Return on Equity (ROE) is a measure of profitability that calculates how many dollars of profit a company generates with each dollar of shareholders’ equity. The formula for ROE is: ROE = Net Income/Shareholders’ Equity.
8. Debt to Equity Ratio (D/E) is a debt ratio used to measure a company’s financial leverage, calculated by dividing a company’s total liabilities by its stockholders’ equity. The D/E ratio indicates how much debt a company is using to finance its assets relative to the amount of value represented in shareholders’ equity.
9. Dividend Yield is a dividend expressed as a percentage of the current share price.
10. Forward Earnings Yield is the quotient of earnings per share divided by the share price. It is the reciprocal of the P/E ratio.
11. The 30-day SEC yield is calculated with a standardized formula mandated by the SEC. The formula is based on maximum offering price per share and includes the effect of any fee waivers. Without waivers, yields would be reduced. The 30-day unsubsidized SEC yield does not reflect waivers in effect. A fund’s actual distribution rate will differ from the SEC yield and any income distributions from the fund may be higher or lower than the SEC yield.
12. Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole.
13. NASDAQ-100 Index — The NASDAQ-100 Index is a modified capitalization-weighted index of the 100 largest and most active non-financial domestic and international issues listed on the NASDAQ.

1. Organization

OSI ETF Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 12, 2016 and is authorized to issue multiple series or portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of four operational exchange-traded funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The O’Shares FTSE U.S. Quality Dividend ETF, O’Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares FTSE Europe Quality Dividend ETF are diversified series of the Trust, pursuant to the 1940 Act. The O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF is a non-diversified series of the Trust, pursuant to the 1940 Act. O’Shares Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to each fund.

Each Fund seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of a specified benchmark index (each, a “Target Index”). There can be no assurance that the Funds’ investment objectives will be achieved.

The O’Shares FTSE Russell International Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares FTSE Asia Pacific Quality Dividend ETF ceased trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc.TM and were closed for purchase by investors as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on December 20, 2018. The final liquidating distribution was paid to shareholders on December 28, 2018.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Trust, which is an investment company, follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services — Investment Companies.”

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

Investment Company Modernization

In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10231, Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Release”). The Release called for the adoption of new rules and forms as well as amendments to current rules and forms to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The SEC adopted amendments to Regulation S-X, which require standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The Funds have updated disclosures in these financial statements to reflect the amendments, which were effective August 1, 2017. The first filing compliance date for Form N-PORT is no later than April 30, 2020, reflecting data as of March 31, 2020.

On August 17, 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain disclosure requirements that have become duplicative, overlapping, or outdated in light of other Commission disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments include, among other items, to require presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributable earnings on the balance sheet, and to require presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributions to shareholders, except for tax return of capital distributions and to delete the requirement for disclosure of undistributed net investment income on the statement of changes in net assets. The amendments are intended to simplify and update the disclosure of information to investors. The amendments were effective on November 5, 2018. The adoption had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations. In connection with implementing the changes noted above, the distributions to shareholders during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, which were previously reported as

distributions from net investment income & net realized gain (where applicable), have been reclassified as distributions from distributable earnings to conform to the current period presentation on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Investment Valuation

The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. NAV per share is computed by dividing the net assets by the number of each Fund’s shares outstanding.

When calculating the NAV of each Fund’s shares, securities held by the Funds are valued at market quotations when reliable market quotations are readily available. Exchange traded securities and instruments (including equity securities, depositary receipts and ETFs) are generally valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such securities are traded (at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price for NASDAQ listed securities), as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities and instruments not traded on an exchange are generally valued at the last traded price. In the absence of a recorded transaction sale price; or if the last sale price is unavailable, securities are valued at the mean between last bid and ask, as quoted. If an ask price is unavailable, last bid price is used. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below.

When reliable market quotations are not readily available, securities are priced at their fair value in accordance with the Trust’s valuation guidelines, which were approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). The Funds may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when the value of a Fund’s security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of such security) or trading in such security has been suspended or halted. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Target Index. This may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to track its Target Index. Securities of non-exchange traded investment companies are valued at their NAV.

The Funds disclose the fair market value of their investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs) and (2) the Funds’ 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.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)

Certain Funds may invest in REITs. Equity REITs invest primarily in real property while mortgage REITs make construction, development and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the REIT, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment.

REITs are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers, self-liquidation and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax free income status under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and failing to be exempt from registration as a registered investment company under the 1940 Act.

Distributions from REIT investments may be comprised of return of capital, capital gains and income. The actual character of amounts received during the year is not known until after the REIT’s fiscal year end. The Funds record the character of distributions received from REITs during the year based on estimates available. The characterization of distributions received by the Funds may be subsequently revised based on information received from the REITs after their tax reporting periods have concluded.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The Funds’ assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the valuation date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of

the transaction. The Funds’ income earned and expense incurred in foreign denominated currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of such activity.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations that result from changes in the market prices of investments held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gain (loss) on investments in securities and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities on the Statements of Operations.

Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions reported on the Statements of Operations arise from sales of foreign currency, realized currency gains or losses, including foreign exchange contracts, between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference in the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies reported on the Statements of Operations arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and assets and liabilities (other than investments) denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.

Taxes and Distributions

Each of the Funds intends to qualify (or continue to qualify) as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2019 (the Funds’ tax year end), management of the Funds has reviewed the open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. Management is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months. On an ongoing basis, management will monitor the tax positions taken to determine if adjustment to conclusions are necessary based on factors including but not limited to further implementation on guidance expected from FASB and ongoing analysis of tax law, regulation, and interpretations thereof.

Each Fund expects to declare and distribute all of its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends monthly. Net capital gains are distributed at least annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to improve a Fund’s tracking of its Target Index or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax character of the distributions paid for the tax year ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were as follows:

               
  Year Ended June 30, 2019   Year Ended June 30, 2018

At June 30, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

       
Fund   Undistributed Ordinary Income   Undistributed Long Term Capital Gains   Accumulated Capital and Other Losses   Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)*
O’Shares FTSE U.S. Quality Dividend ETF   $ 269,547     $   —     $ (6,303,017 )    $ 25,929,563  
O’Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF                 (2,854,001 )      (2,397,275 ) 
O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF                 (2,993,529 )      805,021  
O’Shares FTSE Europe Quality Dividend ETF     122,842             (1,741,427 )      (1,003,479 ) 
* The differences between the book and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to mark to market of Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFICs”), non-taxable special dividends, investment in partnerships and tax deferral of losses on wash sales. Additionally, these amounts may differ from the tax unrealized appreciation (depreciation) disclosed at the end of each Schedule of Investments due to foreign currency translation of non-investment assets/liabilities.

Permanent differences, primarily due to gain (loss) on in-kind redemptions, distributions from investments in real estate investment trusts, investment in partnerships, net operating losses, non-taxable special dividend foreign currency gains (losses), PFICs, and taxable over-distributions resulted in reclassifications, as of June 30, 2019, among the Funds’ components of net assets.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Capital loss carry forwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. For the tax year ended June 30, 2019, the following Funds had available capital loss carryforwards to offset future net capital gains to the extent provided by regulations and utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset net capital gains:

3. Investment Transactions and Related Income

Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income received or paid from the Fund, net of any applicable foreign withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for dividends of foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. For those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Funds are presented separately on the Statements of Operations as “Special Dividends” and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. 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.

4. Investment Management Fees

The Adviser acts as the investment adviser to the O’Shares FTSE U.S. Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares FTSE Europe Quality Dividend ETF pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (the “OUSA/OEUR Advisory Agreement”). AGF Investments LLC (formerly known as FFCM, LLC) acts as the sub-adviser to the O’Shares FTSE U.S. Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares FTSE Europe Quality Dividend ETF pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with the Adviser (the “OUSA/OEUR Sub-Advisory Agreement”).

The Adviser acts as the investment adviser to the O’Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (the “OUSM/OGIG Advisory Agreement” and, together with the OUSA/OEUR Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”). Vident Investment Advisory, LLC (together with AGF Investments LLC, each a “Sub-Adviser”) acts as the sub-adviser to the O’Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with the Adviser (the “OUSM/OGIG Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the OUSA/OEUR Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”).

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser has the overall responsibility for the Funds’ investment program.

Each Sub-Adviser is responsible for trading portfolio securities and other investment instruments on behalf of the Funds, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, as instructed by the Adviser or in connection with any rebalancing or reconstitution of a Target Index, subject to the overall supervision and oversight of the Adviser and the Trustees. The Adviser oversees each Sub-Adviser for compliance with the Funds’ investment objective, policies, strategies and restrictions. The Board of Trustees supervises and oversees the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, establishes policies that they must follow in their management activities, and oversees the hiring and termination of sub-advisers recommended by the Adviser.

Under the Advisory Agreements, the Funds pay the Adviser a unitary management fee for its services payable on a monthly basis at the annual rate listed in the table below, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.

 
Fund   Management Fee
O’Shares FTSE U.S. Quality Dividend ETF     0.48 % 
O’Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF     0.48 % 
O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF     0.48 % 
O’Shares FTSE Europe Quality Dividend ETF     0.48 % 

Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Adviser compensates each Sub-Adviser out of the management fee it receives from the Funds.

Under the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser bears all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Funds, except for (i) the management fee, (ii) payments under the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 plan, (iii) brokerage expenses (including any costs incidental to transactions in portfolio securities or instruments), (iv) acquired fund fees and expenses, (v) taxes, (vi) interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short and overdraft charges), (vii) litigation expenses (including litigation to which the Trust or a Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Trustees and officers with respect thereto) and (viii) other extraordinary or non-routine expenses.

On June 28, 2018, the O’Shares FTSE U.S. Quality Dividend ETF the (“OUSA Prior Fund”), and O’Shares FTSE Europe Quality Dividend ETF the (“OEUR Prior Fund”) series of FQF Trust (each, a “Prior Fund” and collectively, the “Prior Funds”) were reorganized into corresponding newly created, identically named exchange traded funds of the OSI ETF Trust (each, a “New Fund”) via a tax-free reorganization. Each New Fund has the same name, ticker symbol and underlying index as the corresponding Prior Fund, is managed in accordance with the same investment objective, and is subject to substantially the same investment strategies, policies, and risks as the corresponding Prior Fund. Each New Fund is operated in a substantially similar manner as the corresponding Prior Fund, except that each New Fund is advised by O’Shares Investment Advisers, LLC and sub-advised by the Prior Funds’ adviser, FFCM, LLC. The same portfolio managers who managed the Prior Funds continue to manage the New Funds. All of the assets and liabilities of each Prior Fund were transferred to the corresponding New Fund in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of the corresponding New Fund. Each New Fund has adopted the financial performance and operating history of the corresponding Prior Fund. The information for the periods prior to June 28, 2018 is that of the Prior Funds.

Prior to June 28, 2018, when the following Funds become part of the Trust in connection with the tax-free reorganizations, the unitary management fee was 0.48% for the OUSA Prior Fund and was 0.58% for the OEUR Prior Fund.

Prior to June 28, 2018, FFCM, LLC, the former Adviser of the Prior Funds bore all of the costs of the Prior Funds, except for the advisory fee, distribution fees (including any payments under the Funds’ 12b-1 plan), 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, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short), compensation and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including Independent Trustee counsel fees), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including litigation to which the Trust or the Funds may be a party and indemnification of the Trustees and officers with respect thereto).

FFCM, LLC had agreed to waive its fees and reimburse expenses for each Prior Fund until at least November 1, 2018 so that the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursement for each Fund (except for distribution fees (including payments under a Rule 12b-1 plan), 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, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses

on securities sold short), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including litigation to which the Trust or a Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Trustees and officers with respect thereto)) were limited to the ratios below:

 
Fund   Expense limitation
OUSA Prior Fund     0.48 % 
OEUR Prior Fund     0.58 % 

5. Administration, Fund Accounting and Transfer Agency Fees

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Administrator”) acts as administrator, fund accounting agent and transfer agent to the Funds pursuant to an administration agreement. The Administrator provides the Funds with all required general administrative services, including, without limitation, office space, equipment, and personnel; clerical and general back office services; bookkeeping, internal accounting, and secretarial services; the determination of NAVs; and the preparation and filing of all reports, registration statements, proxy statements, and all other materials required to be filed or furnished by the Funds under federal and state securities laws.

6. Custodian Fees

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as custodian to the Funds. The custodian holds cash, securities and other assets of the Funds as required by the 1940 Act. As compensation for the services, the Custodian is entitled to fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

7. Distribution, Service Plan and Fund Officers

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as the Funds’ Distributor. The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement (“Distribution Agreement”), under which the Distributor, as agent, receives orders from Authorized Participants to create and redeem shares in Creation Unit Aggregations and transmits such orders to the Trust’s custodian and transfer agent. The Trust has adopted a distribution and service plan (“Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year to finance any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Creation Units of the Funds or the provision of investor services, including but not limited to: (i) marketing and promotional services, including advertising; (ii) facilitating communications with beneficial owners of shares of the Funds; (iii) wholesaling services; and (iv) such other services and obligations as may be set forth in the Distribution Agreement with the Distributor.

No distribution or service fees are currently paid by any Funds and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees were charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in a Fund and may cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.

Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC (“FFOS”), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Treasurer, and certain additional compliance support functions to the Funds. FFOS does not have a role in determining the investment policies of the Trust or Funds, or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Trust or a Fund.

8. Issuance and Redemption of Fund Shares

The Funds are exchange-traded funds or ETFs. Individual Fund shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer and investors may pay a commission to such broker-dealers in connection with their purchase or sale. The price of Fund shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). The Funds will only issue or redeem shares aggregated into blocks of 50,000 shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ Distributor. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party,” (i.e., a

26

broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process of the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC) (“Clearing Process”), or (2) a participant of DTC (“DTC Participant”), and, in each case, must have executed an agreement (“Participation Agreement”) with the distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units. The Funds will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a basket of assets that the Funds specify each day.

Shares are listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc.TM and are publicly traded. If a shareholder buys or sells Fund shares on the secondary market, a shareholder will pay or receive the market price, which may be higher or lower than NAV. Authorized participant transaction will be priced at NAV if the authorized participant purchases or redeems Fund shares in Creation Units.

Authorized Participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Funds’ administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash.

9. Investment Transactions

For the year ended June 30, 2019, the cost of securities purchased and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding in-kind transactions, were as follows:

11. Principal Risks

Some principal risks apply to all Funds while others are specific to the investment strategy of certain Funds. Each Fund may be subject to other principal risks in addition to these identified principal risks. This section discusses certain principal risks encountered by the Funds.

Authorized Participants Concentration Risk.  Each Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may purchase and redeem Fund shares directly from the Funds (“Authorized Participants”). To the extent they cannot or are otherwise unwilling to engage in creation and redemption transactions with the Funds and no other Authorized Participant steps in, shares of the Funds may trade like closed-end fund shares at a significant discount to NAV and may face trading halts and/or delisting from the Exchange. This risk may be more pronounced in volatile markets, potentially where there are significant redemptions in ETFs generally.

Concentration Risk.  To the extent that a Fund’s Target Index is concentrated in a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund is also expected to be concentrated in that industry or group of industries which may subject the Fund to a greater loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting that industry or group of industries.

Depositary Receipts Risk.  The risks of investments in depositary receipts are substantially similar to Foreign Investment Risks. In addition, depositary receipts may not track the price of the underlying foreign securities, and their value may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading.

Europe Risk.  Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or European Union (the “E.U.”) regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an E.U. member country on its sovereign debt, and/or an economic recession in an E.U. member country may have a significant adverse effect on the securities of E.U. issuers. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adversity due to concerns about economic downturns, or rising government debt levels, in several European countries. These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe. The risk of investing in Europe may be heightened due to the recent referendum in which the United Kingdom voted to withdraw from membership in the E.U. In addition, if one or more countries were to exit the E.U. or abandon the use of the euro as a currency, the value of investments tied to those countries or the euro could decline significantly and unpredictably. Any such event could have a material adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds’ portfolios.

Flash Crash Risk.  Sharp price declines in securities owned by a Fund may trigger trading halts, which may result in the Fund’s shares trading in the market at an increasingly large discount to NAV during part (or all) of a trading day.

Foreign Investment Risk.  Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Exposures to foreign securities entail special risks, including due to: differences in information available about foreign issuers; differences in investor protection standards in other jurisdictions; capital controls risks, including the risk of a foreign jurisdiction imposing restrictions on the ability to repatriate or transfer currency or other assets; political, diplomatic and economic risks; regulatory risks; and foreign market and trading risks, including the costs of trading and risks of settlement in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, a Fund’s investments in securities denominated in other currencies could decline due to changes in local currency relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect such Fund’s returns.

Index-Related Risk.  Each Fund is managed with an investment strategy that attempts to track the performance of the Target Index. As a result, the Funds expect to hold constituent securities of the Target Index regardless of their current or projected performance. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause a Fund’s return to be lower than if the Funds employed an active strategy.

There is no assurance that the Index Provider will compile each Target Index accurately, or that each Target Index will be determined, composed or calculated accurately. While the Index Provider provides descriptions of what each Target Index is designed to achieve, the Index Provider does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of data in respect of its indices, and does not guarantee that each Target Index will be in line with its described index methodology. Any gains, losses or costs to a Fund that are caused by Index Provider errors will therefore be borne by the Fund and its shareholders. To the extent a Target Index is new it will have a limited performance history. The foregoing risks may be greater for a new index.

Internet Companies Risk.  Companies involved with the internet, technology and e-commerce are exposed to risks associated with rapid advances in technology, obsolescence of current products and services, the finite life of patents and the constant threat of global competition and substitutes. In addition to these risks, these companies may be adversely impacted by market and economic cyclicality and changing industry standards.

Market Events Risk.  The market values of a Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of such Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Turbulence in the financial markets and reduced liquidity may negatively affect issuers, which could have an adverse effect on a Fund. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve and/or other government actors, such as increasing interest rates, could cause increased volatility in financial markets and disruption in the creation/redemption process of a Fund, which could have a negative impact on the Fund.

Mid-Capitalization Securities Risk.  The securities of mid-capitalization companies are often more volatile and less liquid than the securities of larger companies and may be more affected than other types of securities during market downturns. Compared to larger companies, mid-capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources.

Multifactor Risk.  A Fund’s Target Index, and thus the corresponding Fund, seeks to achieve specific factor exposures identified in the Fund’s principal investment strategies. There can be no assurance that targeting exposure to such factors will enhance a Fund’s performance over time, and targeting exposure to certain factors may detract from performance in some market environments. There is no guarantee the Index Provider’s methodology will be successful in creating an index that achieves the specific factor exposures identified above.

Non-Diversification Risk.  The O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act, which means that the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly invested in certain issuers.

REIT Risk.  A REIT is a company that owns or finances income-producing real estate. Each Fund, through its investments in REITs, is subject to the risks of investing in the real estate market, including decreases in property revenues, increases in interest rates, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, legal and regulatory changes, a lack of credit or capital, defaults by borrowers or tenants, environmental problems and natural disasters.

REITs are subject to additional risks, including those related to adverse governmental actions, declines in property value and the real estate market, and the potential failure to qualify for tax-free pass through of income and exemption from registration as an investment company. REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and may invest in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a small number of property types. As a result, investments in REITs may be volatile. To the extent a Fund invests in REITs concentrated in specific geographic areas or property types, the Fund may be subject to a greater loss as a result of adverse developments affecting such areas or property types. REITs are pooled investment vehicles with their own fees and expenses and a Fund will indirectly bear a proportionate share of those fees and expenses.

Sampling Risk.  To the extent a Fund uses a representative sampling approach, it will hold a smaller number of securities than are in its Target Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting a security held by a Fund could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities in its Target Index. Conversely, a positive development relating to a security in a Fund’s Target Index that is not held by the Fund could cause the Fund to underperform the Target Index. To the extent the assets in a Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.

Sector Risk.  To the extent a Target Index, and thereby a Fund, emphasizes, from time to time, investments in a particular sector, the Funds are subject to a greater degree to the risks particular to that sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect all the securities in a single sector. If the Funds invest in a few sectors, it may have increased exposure to the price movements of those sectors.

Volatility Risk.  There is a risk that the present and future volatility of a security, relative to the market index, will not be the same as it historically has been and thus that a Fund’s Target Index will not be exposed to the less volatile securities in the index universe. Volatile stocks are subject to sharp swings in value.

The Funds’ prospectus contain additional information regarding the principal risks associated with an investment in a Fund.

12. Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. The Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.

13. New Accounting Pronouncements

On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which amends the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820. The amendments of ASU 2018-13 include new, eliminated, and modified disclosure requirements of ASC 820. In addition, the amendments clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration of entities when evaluating disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU. The Funds have early adopted ASU 2018-13 for these financial statements.

14. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

and the Shareholders of O’Shares FTSE U.S. Quality Dividend ETF, O’Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF, O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF, and O’Shares FTSE Europe Quality Dividend ETF

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of O’Shares FTSE U.S. Quality Dividend ETF, O’Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF, O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF, and O’Shares FTSE Europe Quality Dividend ETF, each a series of shares of beneficial interest in OSI ETF Trust (the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2019, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights as noted in the table below and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “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 law 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to

31


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk 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 June 30, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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.

Expense Examples (Unaudited)
June 30, 2019

As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs for purchasing and selling shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, other operational and investment related expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses

The actual expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period ended June 30, 2019.

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The hypothetical expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period ended June 30, 2019.

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as brokerage charges. Therefore, the second line for each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
