Investments carry risks, including possible loss of principal. Investments in equity securities are subject to additional risks, such as greater market fluctuations. Additional risks may be associated with investments outside the United States, especially in emerging markets, including currency fluctuations, illiquidity, volatility, and political and economic risks. Investments in small- and mid-capitalization companies may increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Portfolios investing in bonds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds. The value of bonds will fluctuate relative to changes in interest rates, decreasing when interest rates rise. This effect is more pronounced for longer-term bonds. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses. Investments in lower rated and unrated bonds may be more sensitive to default, downgrades, and market volatility; these investments may also be less liquid than higher rated bonds. A short position will lose value as the security’s price increases. Theoretically, the loss on a short sale can be unlimited. Investments in derivatives are subject to the risks associated with the securities or other assets underlying the pool of securities, including illiquidity and difficulty in valuation. Please see the Funds’ prospectus for a discussion of the risks associated with an investment in the Funds. Investments in the Funds are not FDIC insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each of the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. Each Fund prepares its financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including investment company accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946.
Segment Reporting: Each Fund has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is the President of each
28 | Semi-Annual Financial Statements
Notes
to Financial Statements, Continued
February 28, 2025 (Unaudited)
Fund. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each Fund’s income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
Allocation of Income, Gains, Losses and Expenses: Net investment income and any realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each outstanding share at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity). Expenses common to each Fund and each series of Thornburg Investment Trust are allocated daily among the Funds and series of Thornburg Investment Trust based upon their relative net asset values or other appropriate allocation methods.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Ordinary income dividends of a Fund, if any, are generally declared and paid at least monthly for Core Plus Bond ETF and Multi Sector Bond ETF and at least annually for International Equity ETF and International Growth ETF. Capital gains distributions, if any, usually will be declared and paid in December for the prior twelve-month period ending October 31.
Foreign Currency Translation: Portfolio investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. When the Funds purchase or sell foreign investments, they will customarily enter into a foreign exchange contract to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of such transactions. The values of such spot contracts are included in receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds do not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on investments held. Such changes are included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments in the Statement of Operations.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise due to purchases and sales of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These amounts are included in foreign currency transactions in the Statement of Operations.
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translations arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Guarantees and Indemnifications: Under the Trust’s organizational documents (and under separate agreements with the independent Trustees), its officers and Trustees are provided with an indemnification, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business the Trust may also enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Investment Income: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain income from foreign investments is recognized as soon as information is available to the Funds. Interest income is accrued as earned. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to first call dates or maturity dates using the effective yield method of the respective investments. These amounts are included in Investment Income in the Statement of Operations.
Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may invest excess cash in repurchase agreements whereby the Funds purchase investments, which serve as collateral, with an agreement to resell such collateral to the seller at an agreed upon price at the maturity date of the repurchase agreement. Investments pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held in custody until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions in the agreements require that the market value of the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase value in the event of default. In the event of default, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. During the period ended February 28, 2025, the Funds did not enter into repurchase agreements.
Security Valuation: All investments in securities held by the Funds are valued as described in Note 3.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
Semi-Annual Financial Statements | 29
Notes
to Financial Statements, Continued
February 28, 2025 (Unaudited)
financial statements and the reported amounts of increases (decreases) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions: The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. To the extent the Funds engage in such transactions, they will do so for the purpose of acquiring portfolio investments consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and not for the purpose of investment leverage. At the time the Funds make a commitment to purchase an investment on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Funds will record the transaction and reflect the value in determining its net asset value. Pursuant to current U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, a transaction involving a when-issued security will not be deemed to involve a senior security as long as the Funds intend to settle the transaction physically and the transaction settles within 35 days. Investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis do not earn interest until the settlement date. The values of these securities held at February 28, 2025, if any, are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION
Valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investment securities is performed by Thornburg Investment Management, Inc., the Trust’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), which has been designated by the Trustees of the Trust (the “Trustees”) as the Funds’ “valuation designee,” as that term is defined in rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor performs this valuation function under the supervision of the Trustees and in accordance with policies and procedures that have been adopted by the Advisor and approved by the Trustees (the “Valuation Policy and Procedures”).
In its capacity as the Funds’ valuation designee, the Advisor makes good faith determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and otherwise complies with and administers the Valuation Policy and Procedures. The Advisor performs those functions in significant measure through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”), though the Advisor may also obtain the assistance of others, including professional pricing service providers selected and approved by the Committee. In accordance with the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee: assesses and manages the material risks associated with determining the fair value of those Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available; selects and applies methodologies for determining and calculating such fair values; periodically reviews and tests the appropriateness and accuracy of those methodologies; monitors for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value; and approves, monitors, and evaluates pricing services engaged to provide evaluated prices for the Funds’ investments. The Committee provides reports on its activities to the Trustees’ Audit Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the Committee’s and the Advisor’s work in discharging the functions under the Valuation Policy and Procedures.
In those instances when the Committee assists in calculating a fair value for a portfolio investment, the Committee seeks to determine the price that the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon a sale of the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants on the valuation date. The Committee customarily utilizes quotations from securities broker dealers in calculating valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods selected by the Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a fair value for an investment may differ from the price that would be realized by the Funds upon a sale of the investment, and the difference could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. The Committee’s calculation of a fair value for an investment may also differ from the prices obtained by other persons (including other mutual funds) for the investment.
Valuation of Securities: Securities and other portfolio investments which are listed or traded on a United States securities exchange are generally valued at the last reported sale price on the valuation date or, if there has been no sale of the investment on that date, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices for the investment on that date. Portfolio investments reported by NASDAQ are valued at the official closing price on the valuation date. If an investment is traded on more than one exchange, the investment is considered traded on the exchange that is normally the primary market for that investment. For securities and other portfolio investments which are primarily listed or traded on an exchange outside the United States, the time for determining the investment’s value in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph will be the close of that investment’s primary exchange preceding the Fund’s valuation time.
In any case when a market quotation is not readily available for a portfolio investment ordinarily valued by market quotation, the Committee calculates a fair value for the investment using methodologies selected and approved by the Committee as described in the Valuation Policy and Procedures, subject to changes or additions by the Committee. For this purpose, a market quotation is considered to be readily available if it is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Funds can access at the measurement date. Pursuant to the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee shall monitor for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair valuation methodologies, including circumstances in which a market quotation for an investment is no longer reliable or is otherwise not readily available. For that purpose, a market quotation is not readily available when the primary market or exchange for the applicable investment is not open for the entire scheduled day of trading. A market quotation may also not be readily available if: (a) developments occurring after the most recent close of the applicable investment’s primary exchange, but prior to the close of business on any business day; or (b) an unusual event or significant period of time occurring since the availability of the market quotation, create a serious
30 | Semi-Annual Financial Statements
Notes
to Financial Statements, Continued
February 28, 2025 (Unaudited)
question concerning the reliability of that market quotation. Additionally, a market quotation will be considered unreliable if it would require adjustment under GAAP, or where GAAP would require consideration of additional inputs in determining the value of the investment.
Investments in U.S. exchange traded funds are valued at the exchange-traded price if they are listed.
Debt obligations held by the Funds which are not listed or traded on exchanges or for which no reported market exists are ordinarily valued at the valuation obtained from a pricing service provider approved by the Committee.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee may calculate a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods selected and approved by the Committee. Additionally, in cases when the Committee believes that a valuation obtained from a pricing service provider is stale, does not reflect material factors affecting the valuation of the investment, is significantly different than the value the Funds are likely to obtain if they sought a bid for the investment, or is otherwise unreliable, the Committee may calculate a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method selected and approved by the Committee.
If the market quotation for an investment is expressed in a foreign currency, that market quotation will be converted to U.S. dollars using a foreign exchange quotation from a third-party service at the time of valuation. Foreign investments held by the Funds may be traded on days and at times when the Funds are not open for business. Consequently, the value of Funds’ investments may be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot purchase or sell Funds’ shares.
Valuation Hierarchy: The Funds categorize their investments based upon the inputs used in valuing those investments, according to a three-level hierarchy established in guidance from the FASB. Categorization of investments using this hierarchy is intended by the FASB to maximize the use of observable inputs in valuing investments and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in valuing an investment based on available market information. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect assumptions about the information market participants would use in valuing an investment. An investment’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is deemed significant to the valuation. The methodologies and inputs used to value investments are not necessarily indications of the risk or liquidity associated with those investments.
Various inputs are used in calculating valuations for the Funds’ investments. These inputs are generally summarized according to the three-level hierarchy below:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2: Other direct or indirect significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments in active markets and other observable inputs, such as interest rates, prepayment rates, credit ratings, etc.).
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Committee’s own assumptions in calculating the fair values of investments).
Valuations for debt obligations held by the Funds are typically calculated by pricing service providers approved by the Committee and are generally characterized as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods under procedures approved by the Committee. Additionally, in cases when management believes that a valuation obtained from a pricing service provider is stale, does not reflect material factors affecting the valuation of the investment, is significantly different than the value the Funds are likely to obtain if they sought a bid for the investment, or is otherwise unreliable, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method approved by the Committee.
In a limited number of cases the Committee calculates a fair value for investments using broker quotations or other methods approved by the Committee. When the Committee uses a single broker quotation to calculate a fair value for an investment without other significant observable inputs, or if a fair value is calculated using other significant inputs that are considered unobservable, the investment is characterized as Level 3 within the hierarchy. Other significant unobservable inputs used to calculate a fair value in these instances might include an income-based valuation approach which considers discounted anticipated future cash flows from the investment and application of discounts due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment.
Valuations based upon the use of inputs from Levels 1, 2 or 3 may not represent the actual price received upon the disposition of an investment, and a Fund may receive a price that is lower than the valuation based upon these inputs when it sells the investment.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, the Advisor is paid a management fee for advisory services and for administrative and other services. Each Fund pays for these services under a bundled fee structure (the “Unified Management Fee”). Each Fund pays the Advisor a Unified Management Fee based on the average daily net assets of that Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

NOTE 5 – TAXES
Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders substantially all investment company taxable income including net realized gains on investments (if any), and tax exempt income of the Funds. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.
The Funds file income tax returns in United States federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ tax return filings generally remains open for the three years following a return’s filing date. The Funds have analyzed each uncertain tax position believed to be material in the preparation of the Funds’ financial statements for the period ended February 28, 2025, including open tax years, to assess whether it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The Funds have not identified any such position for which an asset or liability must be reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
At February 28, 2025, information on the tax components of capital was as follows:

International Growth ETF | 4,984,580 | 150,839 | (200,747 | ) | (49,908 | ) |
Foreign Withholding Taxes: The Funds are subject to foreign tax withholding imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Funds may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on
Semi-Annual Financial Statements | 33
Notes

applicable foreign tax laws. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld, in view of various considerations, including recent decisions rendered by the courts in those and other jurisdictions. The Funds would expect to record a receivable for such a tax reclaim based on a variety of factors, including assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, the jurisdiction’s administrative practices and payment history, and industry convention.
NOTE 6 – CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS
The Funds are exchange-traded funds or “ETFs.” Shares of each Fund may be acquired or redeemed directly from the Fund only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units” or multiples thereof. A Creation Unit of each Fund consists of 50,000 shares. The Trust may increase or decrease the number of a Fund’s shares that constitute a Creation Unit, including on a per transaction basis if doing so is deemed to be in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with a Fund. An Authorized Participant is either a “participating party” (i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation) or a Depository Trust Company participant, in either case, who has executed an agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc., the Trust’s principal underwriter, and accepted by State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s transfer agent, with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units. Once created, shares of each Fund generally trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit.
Most investors will buy and sell shares of each Fund in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers. Shares of each Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange during the trading day. Shares of each Fund trade on an exchange at prices that may differ to varying degrees from the daily NAV of the shares. Each Fund determines its NAV once daily at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Each Fund determines its NAV by dividing the total Fund assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of outstanding shares. The price at which an Authorized Participant purchases shares of a Fund is based on the next calculation of the NAV after the Fund receives a purchase request in good order.
Authorized Participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions.
NOTE 7 – INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
For the period ended February 28, 2025, the Funds had purchase and sale transactions of investments as listed in the table below (excluding short-term investments and in-kind transactions).

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Funds may use a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge or adjust the risks affecting its investment portfolio or to enhance investment returns. Provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ASC 815-10-50 (“ASC 815”) require certain disclosures. The disclosures are intended to provide users of financial statements with an understanding of the use of derivative instruments by the Funds and how these derivatives affect the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Funds. The Funds do not designate any derivative instruments as hedging instruments under ASC 815. Additionally, the Funds’ risk of loss may exceed the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
During the period ended February 28, 2025, the Funds did not invest in any derivative financial instruments of the type addressed by ASC 815.

STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) provides investment management services to each of the Funds or, for purposes of this discussion, ETFs, each a series of the Thornburg ETF Trust (the “Trust”), pursuant to an Investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Trustees considered the approval of the Agreement for each of the ETFs on December 11, 2024.
In anticipation of their consideration of the Agreement, the Trustees met on September 18, 2024 to discuss the ETFs with representatives of the Advisor and with the Trust’s legal counsel, including a discussion of written materials relating to the ETFs that had been provided to the Trustees in advance of that meeting. The Independent Trustees were advised by counsel to the Independent Trustees.
The Trustees met again on November 14, 2024 for a further discussion of the ETFs with representatives of the Advisor and with the Trust’s legal counsel and Independent Trustee counsel, again including a discussion of written materials relating to the ETFs that had been provided to the Trustees in advance of that meeting. The Trustees also met on November 14, 2024 with representatives of an independent mutual fund analyst firm respecting the proposed fees and expenses of the ETFs and considered comparative fee and expense data provided by that analyst firm. Finally, the Trustees met again on December 11, 2024 at a meeting called for the purpose of considering, among other topics, the approval of the Agreement in respect of each ETF. At their meeting on December 11, 2024, the Trustees reviewed additional materials relating to each ETF that had been provided by the Advisor and by the Trust’s legal counsel, conferred further with representatives of the Advisor and with the Trust’s legal counsel and Independent Trustee counsel, and voted unanimously to approve the Agreement for the ETFs.
The information below summarizes certain factors considered by the Trustees in connection with the determination to approve the Agreement for each ETF. In determining to approve the Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and this summary does not describe all of the matters considered by the Trustees in making their determination.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. Information considered by the Trustees as relevant to the nature, extent, and quality of the services that the Advisor would provide under the Agreement for each ETF included: the background and experience of the portfolio managers who would be primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each ETF and the other members of the Advisor’s investment team who would support those portfolio managers; presentations and explanations made by the Advisor’s personnel about the investment objective, investment strategies, and investment limitations of each ETF; information about how each ETF would fit into the Trust’s lineup of investment products; market demand for the type of investment strategies to be pursued by each ETF; the resources that the Advisor would devote to the services it provides to each ETF, the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor; the Advisor’s success in managing other portfolios with investment strategies similar to the ETFs’ strategies; and the Advisor’s responsiveness to the Trustees’ questions. Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services to be provided to the ETFs by the Advisor.
Investment Performance. While the ETFs did not have any investment performance at the time the Trustees approved the Agreement, the Trustees did consider the Advisor’s success in achieving positive investment performance in other portfolio with investment strategies similar to the ETFs’ strategies. The Trustees also considered each ETF’s proposed investment strategies and processes and concluded that the prospects for each ETF’s competitive future performance were acceptable.
Comparisons of Fee and Expense Levels. The Trustees considered information comparing each ETF’s contractual advisory fee rate and total expense ratio to the advisory fee rates and total expense ratios of a group of selected peers. The Trustees observed that the ETFs’ advisory fee rates and expense ratios were generally in line with the peer funds.
Semi-Annual Financial Statements | 39
Other Information, Continued
February 28, 2025 (Unaudited)
Costs and Profitability of Advisor. Information about the profitability of the ETFs was not available when the Trustees considered the approval of the Agreement because the ETFs were not yet operational.
Potential Economies of Scale. In reviewing the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by each ETF as it grows and whether fee levels reflect potential economies of scale, the Trustees considered the Advisor’s willingness in the past to expend from its own profits and resources to maintain staffing levels and expand staff competencies, pay competitive levels of compensation, and add to its information management and other electronic systems so as to maintain or improve service levels. The information provided demonstrated to the Trustees that shareholders may be expected to benefit from any economies of scale.
Potential Ancillary Benefits. In reviewing potential benefits to the Advisor because of its relationship to the ETFs, the Trustees noted the benefits to both the Trust and the Advisor of the Advisor’s expansion of its staffing, compliance and systems capabilities and other resources to serve a broader variety of investment management clients. No unusual or unfair potential benefits to the Advisor from its relationship to the ETFs were identified by the Trustees.
Summary of Conclusions. After considering the factors identified above, and in light of the other information received by the Trustees respecting the ETFs, the Trustees concluded that the level of the advisory fee to be charged to each ETF by the Advisor is fair and reasonable in relation to the services to be provided by the Advisor, the clear disclosure of fees and expenses in the ETFs’ prospectus, comparisons of fees and expenses charged to the ETFs to fees and expenses charged to other exchange-traded funds, and the other factors and relevant circumstances considered. The Trustees accordingly determined to approve the Agreement with the Advisor in respect of each ETF.
