This report should be read in conjunction with the Engine No. 1 ETF Trust’s (the “Trust”) prospectus.

 

The views expressed in the Shareholder Letter are those of Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC (“Engine No. 1” or the “Adviser”) as of April 30, 2023. The Shareholder Letter may not necessarily reflect the views or holdings on the date this Semi-Annual Report is first published or anytime thereafter. The information in the Shareholder Letter may change, and the Funds disclaim any obligation to advise shareholders of any such changes. Certain information was obtained from sources that Engine No. 1 believes to be reliable; however, Engine No. 1 does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information obtained from any third party.

 

Portfolio holdings will change and should not be considered as investment advice or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any particular security. Please visit etf.engine1.com for the most current list of portfolio holdings for the Engine No. 1 ETFs.

 

The Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Morningstar® US Large Cap Select IndexSM (the “Underlying Index”), which measures the performance of the 500 largest U.S. stocks by market capitalization, as determined by Morningstar, Inc. The Underlying Index consists of securities from a broad range of industries. As of April 30, 2023, the Underlying Index is represented by securities of companies in sectors including Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Communication Services, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Materials and Real Estate. The components of the Underlying Index are likely to change over time and the Underlying Index and the Fund are rebalanced on a quarterly basis. To the extent that the securities in the Underlying Index are concentrated in one or more industries or groups of industries, the Fund may concentrate in such industries or groups of industries.

 

The Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to invest in companies that are creating value by transforming themselves and others to meet the growing demands of climate change. Target companies are primarily those that the Adviser believes are transitioning towards more sustainable business practices, products, or services, as well as companies that are providing enabling technologies to help others transition. Target companies are generally chosen from companies included in the Morningstar® US Market Extended TR USD IndexSM but may be selected from a universe of US and non-US listed equity securities. The Morningstar® US Market Extended TR USD IndexSM measures the performance of US securities and targets 99.5% market capitalization coverage of the investable universe. It is a diversified broad market index, and does not incorporate sustainability criteria. The Adviser expects to hold between 20-40 equities within the Fund’s portfolio.

 

The Engine No. 1 Transform Supply Chain ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that invests in U.S.-listed equity, American depositary receipt securities, and non-U.S. developed and emerging market-listed securities, which over time may vary as market and investment opportunities change. The Fund may also enter into currency-related spot transactions when it transacts in equities denominated in foreign currencies or invest in certain derivative instruments, such as currency futures or forwards that will help the Adviser manage risk associated with foreign currency exposure, if any, or futures contracts. The Fund’s investments may include micro-, small-, medium- and large-capitalization equities of companies. The Adviser expects to hold between 20-40 equities within the Fund’s portfolio.

 

 

 

 

Shareholder Letter
(Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

It has been a truly amazing journey in the nearly two years since we launched Transform ETFs. Thank you for coming with us, and we are excited for what lies ahead. Today, you can capture investment opportunity while being an active owner in our alpha mega-theme strategies, Transform Climate ETF (NETZ) and Transform Supply Chain ETF (SUPP), and our better index fund, Transform 500 ETF (VOTE), which gives investors an active voice through a passive fund.

 

Both active strategies aim to create long-term value for investors through our unique approach to identifying and pursuing investment opportunities in once-in-a-generation systems transformations and through governance activities. In all strategies, we are always active owners, seeking to help companies realize their full potential and investors of all kinds build returns over time. In 2022 alone, we voted at 506 annual shareholder meetings on 6,387 proposals, including 439 shareholder proposals. We supported 88% of shareholder proposals after carefully evaluating each issue through our economics-focused lens, ultimately supporting the ones that we believed foster good corporate governance, enhance transparency, and create long-term value.

 

Earlier this year, we launched SUPP. SUPP is our second actively managed thematic ETF and invests in companies that drive supply chain resiliency and long-term value creation through relocalization of manufacturing, automation and innovation, and transportation and logistics management.

 

The United States has lost 7 million manufacturing jobs since World War II1. The collapse of global supply chains during Covid put even more pressure on North American companies and the customers they serve. Now, while trying to solve the supply chain crisis and with tailwinds from the CHIPS and Inflation Reduction Acts, manufacturing is roaring back to North America. This is great for North American jobs, communities, and companies’ mid-term profitability. It is a huge investment opportunity in America, and SUPP is structured to help investors capture this epic opportunity now and, in the years to come.

 

In February, we celebrated NETZ’s one-year anniversary. We once again received industry recognition, winning etf.com’s Thematic ETF of the Year award2. We continue to believe that investors seeking returns need to hold the best of the big emitters in energy, transportation, agricultural, and select industrials because they are the enablers of the epic transformation to net zero at scale. Our goal is to hold and actively manage to this broad theme – and deliver annual and multi-year out-performance even in the extreme volatility we are currently experiencing and in the old-economy transformation ahead. Many sophisticated investors are already with us, and we welcome the many who are joining us in NETZ as a core holding in their long-term portfolio every month.

 

We launched VOTE as a low-cost (just 5 bps) large-cap index fund that actively votes its shares – because even in a passive core holding, investors should be active. Investors should use their vote and voice on governance, material data transparency, and long-term economic out-performance. Since we won the Exxon proxy campaign and launched the fund in 2021, VOTE continues to use shareholder voting power to drive accountability and transparency at the largest publicly traded companies.

 

Our Approach

 

We take a deep, cross-sector, active approach that seeks to know entire systems in all their complexities, rather than one or two companies or sectors within the system, so we can see the connections to generate alpha. Investors focused just on a single sector or relying on passive building blocks alone can’t possibly see the whole picture.

 

Furthermore, we believe in investment and engagement, not divestment. Research shows divesting from companies doesn’t change their operations or increase shareholder value3. Long-term problems simply can’t be solved by investors running away from short-term-focused companies or boards. Rather, we engage directly with companies to improve their performance and create long-term value. From our proxy voting to our deep engagements, we believe our approach to active ownership delivers results for shareholders.

 

Transparency is key. Everything we do at Transform ETFs is transparent each and every day: our choice of company holdings, our engagements, and our votes. This is the future of active management.

What’s Ahead

 

As we look ahead, we are focused on the risks and opportunities we face as the global population continues to grow and the demand for the natural resources needed to address deglobalization and decarbonization continues to rise. Right now, humanity is using natural resources 1.7x faster than our planet’s capacity to regenerate them, and as a result, we are experiencing long-term, structural supply and demand imbalances we expect to persist in the decades to come4. We believe companies that are addressing scarcity by changing business operations to be less reliant on or more efficient in their use of scarce resources – or are providing products and services that better optimize consumers’ use of those resources – will be winners of the future.

 

We see similar opportunities in human health and the Artificial Intelligence (AI) that powers all the transformations we work on at Transform ETFs.

 

Come With Us.

 

On the following pages, you will find information related to your SUPP, NETZ, and VOTE investments. If you have any questions, please contact your financial advisor or Engine No. 1 directly. The future is complicated but offers many opportunities to participate as active owners of the value created through these transformations. Transform ETFs sort through the complexity, simplifying the investment opportunity.

 

Thank you for joining us.

Important Information

 

© 2023 Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC. All rights reserved.

 

Before investing you should carefully consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained from https://etf.engine1.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.

 

Shares of any exchange-traded fund (ETF) are bought and sold at market price (not net asset value (NAV)), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

 

Engine No. 1 LLC and Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC are separately registered as investment advisers with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Registration with the SEC or with any state securities authority does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Under no circumstances should any information in this document be used or considered as an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to buy, an interest in any investment fund managed or advised by Engine No. 1 LLC, Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC, or their affiliates. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only by means of the offering materials relating to a particular fund. No information in this document should be construed or relied upon as investment, legal, accounting, tax or other professional advice or in connection with any offer or sale of securities.

 

The Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF (VOTE) is not actively managed, and Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC generally does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets. This Fund may be subject to tracking error, which is defined as the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of the underlying index. Large-capitalization companies may be less able than smaller capitalization companies to adapt to changing market conditions. At any given time, the Fund can have exposure to derivative instruments. A strategy or emphasis on sustainability may limit the investment opportunities available to a portfolio. Therefore, the portfolio may underperform or perform differently than other portfolios that do not have a sustainability focus.

 

The Transform Climate ETF (NETZ) and the Transform Supply Chain ETF (NETZ) are actively managed and may each be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Funds’ investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Funds’ investments are concentrated in the securities of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. Shares are subject to the risks of an investment in a portfolio of equity securities in an industry or group of industries in which each Fund invests. Investments in emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks than investments in developed countries. The Funds may purchase and write put and call options on futures contracts that are traded on an exchange as a hedge against changes in value of its portfolio securities, or in anticipation of the purchase of securities, and may enter into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate existing positions. There is no guarantee that such closing transactions can be effected. Please see the prospectus for a full list of each Fund’s risks.

 

The description of Engine No. 1’s investment strategy is intended to be representative but may be changed from time to time by Engine No. 1, and Engine No. 1 may alter the information at its discretion. Engine No. 1 intends to be focused and directed in the selection of opportunities to actively engage with portfolio companies of the Fund. Engine No. 1 intends to measure the investment made by companies in their employees, communities, customers, and the environment, including through the use of financial, operational, and sustainability metrics. For NETZ, Engine No. 1 may consider any sustainability factors as core to its investment process but its specific focus for NETZ will be on the environmental factors most relevant to climate change. For NETZ and SUPP, Engine No. 1 intends to incorporate sustainability insights and analysis to ultimately drive financial and operational performance; however, there is no guarantee that this strategy will be achieved, and such assessment is at Engine No. 1’s discretion. Engine No. 1 does not use sustainability ratings or rankings to exclude specific companies, but instead uses its own proprietary analysis to attempt to make better informed decisions. NETZ and SUPP may forgo certain investment opportunities that do not meet Engine No. 1’s criteria and results may be lower than other funds that use different or no sustainability criteria to screen out certain companies or industries.

 

The price and value of the investments referred to in this document and the income from such investments may fluctuate, and investors may realize losses on these investments, including a loss of principal. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative or a guarantee of future performance. Certain information contained in this document has been obtained from third party sources and, although believed to be reliable, has not been independently verified and its accuracy or completeness cannot be guaranteed.

Shareholder Expense Examples
(Unaudited)

 

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

 

The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2022 (February 14, 2023 for Engine No. 1 Transform Supply Chain ETF) until April 30, 2023.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line under each Fund in the tables below 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 for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line of the tables for the Funds are useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Fund discloses the fair market value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund (observable inputs) and (2) the 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 that the Fund has the ability to access.

 

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.

 

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

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Fund discloses the fair market value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund (observable inputs) and (2) the 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 that the Fund has the ability to access.

 

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.

 

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

1. Organization

 

The Engine No. 1 ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust organized on October 26, 2020 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 three investment portfolios, Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF (the “Transform 500 ETF”), Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF (the “Transform Climate ETF”) and Engine No. 1 Transform Supply Chain ETF (the “Transform Supply Chain ETF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Transform 500 ETF is a diversified management investment company and the Transform Climate ETF and the Transform Supply Chain ETF are non-diversified management investment companies under the 1940 Act. The Transform 500 ETF seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Morningstar® US Large Cap Select IndexSM. The Transform Climate ETF’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Transform Climate ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in companies that are creating value by transforming themselves and others to meet the growing demands of climate change. The Transform Supply Chain ETF’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Transform Supply Chain ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in the equities of companies that it deems are creating value through supply chain transformation. There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their respective investment objectives.

 

Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the Funds.

 

The Trust’s fiscal and tax reporting period end is October 31.

 

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 consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation

 

The 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.

 

Generally, securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such exchange. Securities primarily traded in the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally are valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask price on such over-the-counter market. Futures contracts listed for trading on a futures exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are generally available are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean of the last bid and ask price. Investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at NAV.

 

If market quotations are not readily available, securities are priced at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s valuation guidelines. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, each Fund has designated the Adviser as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable. 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.

 

The Funds may use independent pricing services to assist in calculating the value of each Fund’s securities or other assets.

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 expenses 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) from transactions in 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, including foreign exchange contracts, net currency gains and losses realized 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.

 

Futures Contracts

 

Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific asset, currency, rate or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. Stock index futures are based on investments that reflect the market value of common stock of the firms included in an underlying index. The Funds may enter into futures contracts to purchase securities indexes when the Adviser anticipates purchasing the underlying securities and believes prices will rise before the purchase will be made. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

 

Futures contracts may be bought and sold on U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges. Futures contracts in the U.S. have been designed by exchanges that have been designated “contract markets” by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and must be executed through the futures commission merchant (“FCM”). Each exchange guarantees performance of the contracts as between the clearing members of the exchange, thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default. Futures contracts may also be entered into on certain exempt markets, including exempt boards of trade and electronic trading facilities, available to certain market participants. Because all transactions in the futures market are made, offset or fulfilled by an FCM through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, the Funds will incur brokerage fees when it buys or sells futures contracts.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds will be required to deliver to an account controlled by the FCM an amount of cash or cash equivalents known as “initial margin,” which is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract and is returned to the Funds upon termination of the futures contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” to and from the FCM will be made daily as the price of the instrument or index underlying the futures contract fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as “marking-to-market.”

 

At any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, the Funds may elect to close the position by taking an opposite position, which will operate to terminate the Fund’s existing position in the contract. This transaction, which is effected through a member of an exchange, cancels the obligation to make or take delivery of the underlying instrument or asset. Although some futures contracts by their terms require the actual delivery or acquisition of the underlying instrument or asset, some require cash settlement.

 

There are several risks accompanying the utilization of futures contracts. Utilization of futures by the Transform 500 ETF involves the risk of imperfect or even negative correlation to its Underlying Index if the index underlying the futures contract differs from the Underlying Index. For each Fund, there is also the risk of loss of margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy of a broker with whom the Fund has an open position in the futures contract.

 

Because the futures market generally imposes less burdensome margin requirements than the securities market, an increased amount of participation by speculators in the futures market could result in price fluctuations. Certain financial futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount by which the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day’s settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the

 

28

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

daily limit has been reached in a particular type of contract, no trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. It is possible that futures contract prices could move to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and subjecting the Funds to substantial losses. In the event of adverse price movements, the Funds would be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2023, the average monthly notional amount of open futures contracts for Transform 500 ETF was $596,772. The range of monthly notional amounts was $317,269 to $1,013,984. For the period ended April 30, 2023, Transform Climate ETF and Transform Supply Chain ETF did not hold open futures contracts.

 

The following tables indicate the location of derivative-related items on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as well as the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations during the reporting period.

Securities Lending

 

The Funds may lend portfolio securities to certain borrowers. The borrowers provide collateral that is maintained in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. The Funds may terminate a loan at any time and obtain the return of the securities loaned. The Funds receive the value of any interest or cash or noncash distributions paid on the loaned securities. Distributions received on loaned securities in lieu of dividend payments (i.e., substitute payments) would not be considered qualified dividend income.

 

With respect to loans that are collateralized by cash, the borrower will be entitled to receive a fee based on the amount of cash collateral. The Funds are compensated by the difference between the amount earned on the reinvestment of cash collateral and the fee paid to the borrower. In the case of collateral other than cash, the Funds are compensated by a fee paid by the borrower equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities. Any cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of the lending Funds or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, which may include those managed by the Adviser.

 

The Funds may pay a portion of the interest or fees earned from securities lending to a borrower as described above, and to one or more securities lending agents approved by the Board who administer the lending program for the Funds in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board. In such capacity, the lending agent causes the delivery of loaned securities from the Funds to borrowers, arranges for the return of loaned securities to the Funds at the termination of a loan, requests deposit of collateral, monitors the daily value of the loaned securities and collateral, requests that borrowers add to the collateral when required by the loan agreements, and provides recordkeeping and accounting services necessary for the operation of the program. Securities lending involves exposure to certain risks, including operational risk (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process), “gap” risk (i.e., the risk of a mismatch between the return on cash collateral reinvestments and the fees the Funds have agreed to pay a borrower), and credit,

 

29

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

legal, counterparty and market risk. In the event a borrower does not return the Funds’ securities as agreed, the Funds may experience losses if the proceeds received from liquidating the collateral do not at least equal the value of the loaned security at the time the collateral is liquidated plus the transaction costs incurred in purchasing replacement securities.

 

Investing cash collateral subjects the Funds to greater market risk, including losses on the collateral and, should the Funds need to look to the collateral in the event of the borrower’s default, losses on the loan secured by that collateral.

 

The following table summarizes each Fund’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to rights of offset as of April 30, 2023:

Transform Climate ETF and Transform Supply Chain ETF did not have any securities on loan as of April 30, 2023.

 

Time Deposits

 

Each Fund places excess cash balances into overnight time deposits with one or more eligible deposit institutions that meet credit and risk standards approved by the Funds. These are classified as short-term investments in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

 

Investment Transactions and Related Income

 

Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are accounted for 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, net of any applicable foreign withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Funds, if any, 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.

Dividend Distributions

 

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Funds intend to declare and make distributions of taxable net investment income quarterly and net capital gains annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax should be required.

 

Organizational and Offering Costs

 

The Adviser has agreed to bear all organizational and offering expenses for the Funds.

 

3. Management and Other Agreements

 

Management

 

The Adviser, located at 710 Sansome Street, San Francisco, CA 94111, furnishes investment advisory services to the Funds pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Funds (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), subject to the supervision and direction of the Board. The Adviser is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

 

For its investment advisory services to the Funds, the Adviser is paid a management fee from the Funds based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, at the annual rate of 0.05% for the Transform 500 ETF, 0.75% for the Transform Climate ETF and 0.75% for the Transform Supply Chain ETF for the period. The Adviser may from time to time voluntarily waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit total annual fund operating expenses, as may be specified in a separate letter of agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust (entered into on behalf of the Funds), the Adviser is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes); (ii) expenses of the Funds incurred with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting and/or disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions; (iii) expenses incurred in connection with any distribution plan adopted by the Trust in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, including distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (v) litigation expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel retained by or on behalf of the Trust or any Fund) and any fees, costs or expenses payable by the Trust or any Fund pursuant to indemnification obligations to which the Trust or such Fund may be subject (pursuant to contract or otherwise); and (vi) any extraordinary expenses, as determined by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

Board of Trustees

 

The Trust pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $20,000 per calendar year (paid in quarterly increments) for his or her services as a Board member to the Trust, together with out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with the Board’s policy on travel and other business expenses relating to attendance at meetings. The Chair of the Audit Committee and Nominating Committee are each paid an additional annual retainer of $5,000 per calendar year (paid in quarterly increments). These retainers are paid by the Adviser from the management fees it receives from the Funds.

 

4. Creation and Redemption Transactions

 

Each Fund issues and redeems shares (“Shares”) at NAV only in aggregations of a specified number of Shares (each a “Creation Unit”). The Funds may issue and redeem Creation Units of its Shares in exchange for a designated basket of portfolio investments (including any portion of such investments for which cash may be substituted) (“Deposit Instruments”), together with the deposit of a specified cash payment (“Cash Component”). Shares of each Fund will be listed and trade on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange” or “Cboe BZX”), a national securities exchange. Shares of the Funds are traded in the secondary market and elsewhere at market values that may be at, above or below the Fund’s NAV. Shares are redeemable only in Creation Units by authorized participants that have entered into agreements with the Distributor (“Authorized Participants”), and, generally, in exchange for securities in kind and or a cash amount. Creation Units typically are large blocks of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof. In the event of liquidation of a Fund, the Trust may lower the number of shares in a Creation Unit.

 

Shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Instruments, subject to various conditions, including a requirement that the Authorized Participant maintain with the Trust a cash deposit in an amount at least equal to a specified percentage, as set forth in the applicable Participant Agreement, of the value of the missing Deposit Instruments. The Trust may use such cash deposit at any time to purchase Deposit Instruments. Transaction fees and other costs associated with creations or redemptions that include cash may be higher than the transaction fees and other costs associated with in-kind creations or redemptions. In all cases, conditions with respect to creations and redemptions of Shares and fees will be limited in accordance with the requirements of SEC rules and regulations applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

The cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding in-kind subscriptions and redemptions and short-term investments) for the period ended April 30, 2023 were as follows:

 

Fund  Purchases   Sales 
Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF  $7,620,113   $4,451,654 
Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF  $98,697,238   $71,166,131 
Engine No. 1 Transform Supply Chain ETF  $2,202,669   $2,469,890 

 

For the period ended April 30, 2023, the cost of in-kind subscriptions and the proceeds from in-kind redemptions were as follows:

 

   In-Kind 
Fund  Subscriptions   Redemptions 
Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF  $47,474,590   $- 
Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF  $23,882,435   $33,991,093 
Engine No. 1 Transform Supply Chain ETF  $9,508,858   $- 

 

6. Federal Income Tax

 

Each Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, each Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax position is required. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. Management of the Funds are required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that the Funds do not have any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require a provision for income tax. Accordingly, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties for the year/period ended October 31, 2022.

 

32

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

At April 30, 2023, the cost of investments and derivatives and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes was as follows:

 

Fund  Cost   Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation
   Gross
Unrealized
Depreciation
   Net
Unrealized
Appreciation (Depreciation)
 
Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF  $453,202,157   $29,356,327   $(46,037,707)  $(16,681,380)
Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF  $98,942,967   $6,547,981   $(2,932,248)  $3,615,733 
Engine No. 1 Transform Supply Chain ETF  $9,017,042   $209,285   $(364,392)  $(155,107)

 

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales for tax purposes.

 

At October 31, 2022, for Federal income tax purposes, the Funds have capital loss carryforwards available as shown in the table below, to the extent provided by regulations, to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. To the extent that these capital loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

 

Fund  Short-Term   Long-Term   Total
Amount
 
Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF  $3,664,706   $624,705   $4,289,411 
Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF  $8,767,541   $-   $8,767,541 

 

7. Related Parties

 

At April 30, 2023, certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers or employees of the Adviser or affiliated with the Distributor.

 

8. Indemnification Obligations

 

In the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Trust organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. 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.

 

9. Investment Risks

 

Principal Investment Risks: Shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to certain risks, including those noted below and in the Funds’ prospectuses, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective.

 

Active Management Risk. The Transform Climate ETF and the Transform Supply Chain ETF are actively managed, which means that investment decisions are made based on the Adviser’s investment views. There is no guarantee that the investment views will produce the desired results or expected returns, which may cause the Fund to fail to meet its investment objective or to underperform its benchmark index or funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. Furthermore, active trading that can accompany active management may result in high portfolio turnover, which may have a negative impact on performance. Active trading may result in higher brokerage costs or mark-up charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund. Active trading may also result in adverse tax consequences.

 

Concentration Risk. The Funds may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Funds’ investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Funds’ investments are concentrated in the securities and/or other assets of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.

 

33

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)
April 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

Industrials Sector Risk. The value of securities issued by companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by supply and demand changes related to their specific products or services and industrials sector products in general. The products of manufacturing companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction. Global events, trade disputes and changes in government regulations, economic conditions and exchange rates may adversely affect the performance of companies in the industrials sector.

 

Companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by liability for environmental damage and product liability claims. The industrials sector may also be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced by unpredictable factors. Companies in the industrials sector, particularly aerospace and defense companies, may also be adversely affected by government spending policies because companies in this sector tend to rely to a significant extent on government demand for their products and services.

 

Infectious Illness Risk. An outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness, COVID-19, caused by a novel coronavirus has resulted in travel restrictions, disruption of healthcare systems, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, layoffs, ratings downgrades, defaults and other significant economic impacts. Certain markets have experienced temporary closures, extreme volatility, severe losses, reduced liquidity and increased trading costs. These events will have an impact on the Funds and their investments and could impact each Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities or cause elevated tracking error and increased premiums or discounts to each Fund’s NAV. Other infectious illness outbreaks in the future may result in similar impacts.

 

Supply Chain Risk. Companies supply chains are generally subject to risk such as legislative or regulatory changes; adverse market conditions and/or increased competition; technological developments and changing technology; cyberattacks that may compromise a company’s operations or business; occasional sharp price movements which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements, exchange rate movements, and insurance costs; pandemics, natural disasters or other crisis; boarder and/or import controls; pent-up/increased demand; mobility restrictions; shortages of product and labor; dependence on intellectual property rights, and potential loss or impairment of those rights; research and development costs; and rapid product obsolescence. Global, regional, or local events, such as changes to trade relations, trade restrictions, and/or military conflict, may materially disrupt or indefinitely impair the operations of these companies. Securities of these companies may be cyclical and occasionally subject to sharp price movements. Certain companies may be subject to significant regulation, including environmental regulation, by federal, state and local governmental agencies.

 

Technology Sector Risk. Technology companies, including information technology companies, may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. They are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by the loss or impairment of those rights. Companies in the technology sector are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.

 

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

 

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” The ASU clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring the fair value. The amendments also require additional disclosures related to equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the implications of this guidance to future financial statements.

 

11. 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 recognition of disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

 

Engine No.1 ETF Trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of the Engine No.1 Transform 500 ETF (“Transform 500 ETF”), Engine No.1 Transform Climate ETF (“Transform Climate ETF”) and Engine No.1 Transform Supply Chain ETF (“Transform Supply Chain ETF”) (collectively, the “Funds”) and Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC (“Adviser”), have entered into an investment advisory agreement (“Advisory Agreement”).

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that the Advisory Agreement be approved initially, as well as renewed annually thereafter after an initial two-year period, by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) and by a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement (“Independent Trustees”), by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with their consideration of any approvals or renewals of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees must request and evaluate such information as may reasonably be necessary to make a reasonable business judgment with respect to the approval of the Advisory Agreement.

 

At a virtual meeting held on September 9, 2022 (the “September Meeting”) the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved an amended Schedule A of the Advisory Agreement dated February 23, 2021, related to Transform Supply Chain ETF, for an initial two-year period. In voting its approval of the Amended Schedule A to the Advisory Agreement at the September Meeting, the Board relied on an order issued by the SEC in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic that provided temporary relief from the in-person meeting requirements under Section 15 of the 1940 Act. In connection with their consideration and approval of the Amendment to Schedule A of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested and evaluated, with the advice of counsel, information furnished by the Adviser that was reasonably necessary to make a reasonable business judgment regarding the terms of the Advisory Agreement. At an in-person meeting held on December 16, 2022 (the “December Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, ratified its approval at the September Meeting of the Advisory Agreement for Transform Supply Chain ETF.

 

At the December Meeting, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement for Transform 500 ETF and Transform Climate ETF, until December 31, 2023. In connection with their consideration and approval of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested and evaluated, with the advice of counsel, information furnished by the Adviser that was reasonably necessary to make a reasonable business judgment regarding the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

 

In each instance, Independent Trustees’ Counsel discussed with the Board the fact that the 1940 Act and court decisions place the responsibility on a fund’s trustees, with special emphasis on the independent trustees, to exercise good faith business judgment when deciding on whether to enter into or renew an investment advisory contract. Independent Trustees’ Counsel also noted the Trustees must make a reasonable and good faith attempt to ascertain all facts relevant to their deliberations. The Independent Trustees’ Counsel discussed the specific factors the Trustees should consider in evaluating an investment advisory contract and summarized the activities of the Independent Trustees leading up to both the September Meeting and the December Meeting in their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreement for Transform Supply Chain ETF and the renewal of the Advisory Agreement for both Transform 500 ETF and Transform Climate ETF, respectively. In voting to approve the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the Independent Trustees considered whether the approval would be in the best interests of the respective Fund and its shareholders, an evaluation based on several factors including those discussed below.

 

Materials Reviewed. In considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement, the Board took into account and discussed materials and information relating to: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds; (ii) the fees and expenses to be borne by the Funds; and (iii) the profitability to be realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the Funds. The Board reviewed information relating to, among other things, proposed operations, including the compliance programs of the Adviser, valuation, and other information related to personnel of Engine No. 1 that would be providing investment management services to the Funds. They also reviewed comparative fee information and information regarding personnel who would be providing investment management services to the Funds. Independent Trustees’ Counsel reminded the Board of its earlier discussion regarding its responsibilities with respect to the approval of the Advisory Agreement.

 

Review Process. In connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed written materials provided by Engine No. 1, which included, among other things, comparative fee and expense data. The Board also requested and received assistance and advice from counsel to the Independent Trustees regarding applicable legal standards. The Board also heard oral presentations on matters related to the Advisory Agreement. In deciding to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or particular information that, in isolation, was controlling.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the background information on the key investment personnel who would be responsible for servicing the Funds, considering their education and noting the investment team’s diverse financial industry experience. The Board considered Engine No. 1’s research, analysis and portfolio construction, which utilized both top-down and bottom-up fundamental and quantitative research. The Board observed that the Transform 500 ETF was a passively-managed ETF and Engine No. 1 had the

responsibility to track the Transform 500 ETF’s benchmark to the best of its ability, recognizing that an index, unlike Transform 500 ETF, does not have expenses. With respect to the Transform Climate ETF and Transform Supply Chain ETF, the Board observed that the Transform Climate ETF was, and the Transform Supply Chain ETF would be, an actively-managed ETF and Engine No. 1 had, or would have, the responsibility to manage the Fund’s investments to create long-term growth of capital to the best of its ability.

 

The Board also considered the various additional services that Engine No. 1 would provide under the Advisory Agreement, including its total value framework and its strategic plan related to active engagement of portfolio companies. The Board noted Engine No. 1’s efforts to attract qualified personnel and to develop other types of resources and systems. The Board considered its review of Engine No. 1’s policies, procedures and systems to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and its processes to keep the Board informed about matters relevant to the Funds and their shareholders. For each Fund, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided by Engine No. 1 under the Advisory Agreement were likely to benefit each Fund and its respective shareholders.

 

Performance. The Trustees observed that both the Transform 500 ETF and the Transform Climate ETF were young Funds with Transform Climate ETF having less than a full calendar year of operations for investors to evaluate. With respect to the first full year of performance (as of October 31, 2022) of Transform 500 ETF, the Trustees observed that the Fund had performance in line with the median of its peer groups and had closely tracked the Morningstar® US Large Cap Select IndexSM. The Trustees observed that Transform Supply Chain ETF was not operational and without historical performance. The Board considered the manner in which Engine No. 1 proposed to manage the Funds. After discussion, the Trustees concluded that Engine No. 1 was qualified to manage both an index fund and actively managed funds, and should be allowed the opportunity to continue to manage the Transform 500 ETF and the Transform Climate ETF and to manage the Transform Supply Chain ETF, subject to the ongoing supervision of the Board.

 

Fees and Expenses. With respect to the Transform 500 ETF, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s proposed annual advisory fee was at the median of a peer group of core U.S. equity index ETFs and below the median of a peer group of broad U.S. equity ESG index ETFs. With respect to the Transform Climate ETF, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s proposed annual advisory fee was at the median of a peer group of actively-managed thematic ETFs and below the median of a peer group of actively-managed U.S. equity ETFs. With respect to the Transform Supply Chain ETF, the Trustees noted that the proposed advisory fee aligned with the advisory fee paid by other similar fundamental actively-managed thematic equity ETFs and other fundamental actively-managed equity mutual funds and ETFs. Engine No. 1 reported to the Board that, in proposing fees and expenses for the Funds, Engine No. 1 considered a number of factors, including the type and complexity of the services provided, the cost of providing services, the risk assumed by Engine No. 1 in the provision of services, the impact on potential returns from different levels of fees, the competitive marketplace for financial products, and the attractiveness of potential returns to prospective investors in each Fund.

 

The Board reviewed the proposed advisory fee schedule for the Funds. The Board noted that Engine No. 1 was responsible for all other costs associated with managing and operating the Funds and that Engine No. 1 paid all distribution costs out of its own profits. The Board considered how these arrangements affected the expenses borne by each Fund’s shareholders. The Board noted that the total expense ratio was reasonable when taking into account the unitary fee arrangement. Based on these factors, the Trustees concluded that each Fund’s proposed advisory fee was not unreasonable.

 

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered information showing the effects of scaling fixed costs as the Funds’ assets under management grew.

 

Profitability. The Board considered the estimated profits to be realized by Engine No. 1 in connection with the operation of the Funds. The Board also considered the Funds’ estimated operating expenses and the expected impact on Engine No. 1’s profitability. The Board noted that Engine No. 1 did not expect to be profitable with respect to each of the Funds during the first two years of operations respectively. The Board noted that despite the lack of profitability with respect to its management of the Funds, Engine No.1 has the financial resources to deliver high quality advisory services to the Funds for the foreseeable future. The Board considered whether Engine No. 1 or any of its affiliates might receive other benefits as a result of its proposed relationship with the Trust or the Funds. The Board considered that Engine No. 1 was not affiliated with any of the Funds’ other proposed service providers, and therefore, would not benefit from those contractual relationships. The Trustees determined that the estimated profits of Engine No. 1, in terms of actual dollars and as a percent of total revenue, would not be excessive.

 

Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Engine No. 1 as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Trustees concluded that approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of shareholders of Transform 500 ETF and Transform Climate ETF and future shareholders of Transform Supply Chain ETF.
