The AAM S&P 500 High Dividend Value ETF
The AAM S&P 500 High Dividend Value ETF (“SPDV” or the “Fund”) seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, the S&P 500 Dividend and Free Cash Flow Yield Index (the “Index’). Through the Index, SPDV, is passively managed using a rules-based, equal-weighted strategy that is designed to provide exposure to constituents of the S&P 500® Index that exhibit both high dividend yield and sustainable dividend distribution characteristics, while maintaining a diversified sector exposure.
Due to its added focus on cash flows and sector diversification, SPDVs portfolio remained positioned towards attractively valued companies, and insulated from those with stretched valuations, such as technology and consumer discretionary. As a result, SPDV generated a total return of -1.37% (NAV) and -1.21% (Market Price), while the underlying index for SPDV generated a total return of -1.06% between November 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022 (“current fiscal period”). Over the same current fiscal period, the benchmark index, the S&P 500® index, achieved a total return of -14.61%.
Top performing sectors attributable to SPDV’s return during the current fiscal period were Energy, Financials, and Health Care. The worst performing sectors were Consumer Discretionary, Real Estate, and Materials.
Individual stocks attributable to SPDV’s return over the same fiscal period were Lockheed Martin Corporation (+5,088 bps), Exxon Mobile Corporation (+4,276 bps), and Chevron Corporation (+3,900 bps). Stocks dragging down SPDV’s return were Seagate Technology Holdings (-5,134 bps), Vornado Realty Trust (-4,350 bps), and Ford Motor Company (-3,408 bps).
The AAM S&P Emerging Markets High Dividend Value ETF
The AAM S&P Emerging Markets High Dividend Value ETF (“EEMD” or the “Fund”) seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, the S&P Emerging Markets Dividend and Free Cash Flow Yield Index (the “Index”). Through the Index, EEMD, is passively managed using a rules-based, equal-weighted strategy that is designed to provide exposure to constituents of the S&P Emerging Plus LargeMidCap® Index that exhibit both high dividend yield and sustainable dividend distribution characteristics, while maintaining a diversified sector exposure.
Through its value-rooted focus, EEMDs portfolio of quality companies provided strong protection against broad market declines. Accordingly, EEMD generated a total return of -25.14% (NAV) and -24.72% (Market Price) between November 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022 (“current fiscal period”). This compares to the -24.82% for the underlying Index, and a -29.73% total return for the benchmark index, the S&P Emerging Plus LargeMidCap® Index, for the same current fiscal period.

The AAM S&P Developed Markets High Dividend Value ETF
The AAM S&P Developed Markets High Dividend Value ETF (“DMDV” or the “Fund”) seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, the S&P Developed Markets ex-US Dividend and Free Cash Flow Yield Index (the “Index’). Through the Index, DMDV, is passively managed using a rules-based, equal-weighted strategy that is designed to provide exposure to constituents of the S&P Developed BMI Ex-US & Korea LargeMidCap® Index that exhibit both high dividend yield and sustainable dividend distribution characteristics, while maintaining a diversified sector exposure.
Benefiting from its equal weight approach, DMDVs sector diversity provided better defense against the broad market declines, as the Fund was relatively less exposed to overvalued sectors such as technology. As a result, DMDV generated a total return of -19.34% (NAV) and -19.48% (Market Price) between November 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022 (the “current fiscal period” since DMDV’s inception). This compares to the -19.27% for the underlying Index, and an -22.64% total return for the benchmark index, the S&P Developed BMI Ex-US & Korea LargeMidCap® Index, for the same current fiscal period.
Top performing sectors attributable to DMDV’s return over the current fiscal period were Energy, Consumer Staples, and Real Estate. The worst performing sectors included Industrials, and Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary.

that is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed, U.S. dollar-denominated preferred securities and hybrid securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) with an option-adjusted duration of less than five years.
By focusing on low duration preferred securities, PFLD was more protected from the impact of rising interest rates on bond prices. PFLD generated a total return of -13.72% (NAV) and -13.48% (Market Price), while the underlying index for PFLD generated a total return of -13.50% between November 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022 (“current fiscal period”). Over the same current fiscal period, the benchmark index, the ICE Exchange-Listed Preferred & Hybrid Securities Index, achieved a total return of -18.22%.
Top performing industries attributable to PFLD’s return during the current fiscal period were Energy, Retail, and Technology & Electronics. The worst performing industries included Banking, Utility, and Insurance.
Individual securities attributable to PFLD’s return over the same fiscal period were NSUS Float 01/15/43 (+602 bps), PNC Float PERP (+166 bps), and FITB 6 5/8th (+390 bps). Securities dragging down PFLD’s return were BAC Float Perp (-9,923 bps), GS Float PERP (-2,262 bps), and USB Float PERP (-2,498 bps).
The AAM Bahl & Gaynor Small/Mid Cap Income Growth ETF
The AAM Bahl & Gaynor Small/Mid Cap Income Growth ETF (“SMIG” or the “Fund”) generated a total return of -6.13%/-6.16% (Market Price/NAV) versus the Russell 2500 return of -17.58% between November 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022 (“current fiscal period”). Throughout the current fiscal period, non-profitable and long duration equities saw pressure as investors repriced these securities amid a challenged macro environment, including higher inflation for longer, weaker consumer spending and the beginning of quantitative tightening. Investors instead favored profitable companies that generated a current cash flow stream and returned capital to shareholders through a dividend or buyback program. We believe the outlook for active small/mid cap managers, with a focus on sustainable dividends and stable fundamentals, in this environment remains positive.
Assessing attribution on a sector basis, the largest contributors to relative performance were Information Technology, Industrials and Health Care. Within Technology, owning enterprise technology hardware and software vendors with current cash flow streams while avoiding unprofitable software and internet names contributed to outperformance. In the Industrials sector, stock selection within electrical components and industrial support consulting industries that continue to

see steady end-market demand contributed to outperformance. Finally, no exposure to highly volatile or unprofitable biotechnology companies, in addition to strong stock selection within health care facilities contributed to outperformance for the sector.
The largest detractors to relative performance included Energy and Materials. Within Energy lower exposure to risky, commodity-levered companies within the sector, amid surging prices across the commodity complex from both geopolitical interference and global supply chain issues, contributed to relative underperformance versus the benchmark. In the Materials sector, specialty chemicals and the cannabis markets experienced headwinds due to weakening near-term demand despite long-term growth opportunities.
Assessing attribution on a security basis, the largest contributors to performance include CSG Systems (CSGS), Hubbell (HUBB), and Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH). CSGS is a global managed service provider with an entertainment and media industry heritage but has targeted expansion in telecom and adjacent services market. Through an integrated software platform and outsourcing capabilities, CSGS helps manage and improve client customer service, revenue retention and growth. The company is leveraged to cloud re-platforming among service provider clients and positioned to focus on 5G investments to drive growth. HUBB engages in the design, manufacture and sale of electrical and electronic products for residential and non-residential construction, industrial and utility applications. The company is well-positioned within ongoing grid hardening efforts and electrification trends across utility and industrial end markets. Finally, BAH provides management and technology consulting, engineering, analytics, digital, mission operations and cyber solutions to governments, corporations and non-for-profit organizations in the U.S. and globally. BAH demonstrates a high new contract win rate and an even higher re-compete success rate which drives continued growth.
The largest detractors to performance include Rent-A-Center (RCII), Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG), and Evercore (EVR). RCII offers durable goods through flexible rental agreements via its brick-and-mortar, ecommerce and third-party retail partners. Discontinued fiscal stimulus payments, elevated inflation levels and a pronounced shift in the consumer wallet share towards services, versus goods, weighed on the company’s sales and put pressure on earnings during this period. SMG primarily manufactures, markets and sells consumer lawn and garden products and also owns an adjacent segment, Hawthorne, that managers the company’s hydroponic gardening business. SMG faced fundamental headwinds during the period due to double digit sales decline in both segments reflecting retail partners trimming inventory levels on the consumer side and over supply within Hawthorne’s end market. EVR operates as an investment banking company that provides advisory services on corporate transactions. While revenues have been in-line with consensus, the company has been plagued by a slightly higher expense build and investor concern over a slowing economic environment.

The AAM Transformers ETF
The AAM Transformers ETF (“TRFM” or the “Fund”) seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index, the Pence Transformers Index (the “Index”). The Index follows a rules-based methodology that aims to target companies whose products and services show compelling potential to transform consumer behavior, technological innovation, and the global economy.
The Index mainly focuses on companies with over $2 billion market cap which are estimated to grow their toplines at a double-digit rate and have a minimum of 3.0% projected R&D and/or Capex spending to net sales. 75% of the Index is in US-based companies, while 25% is in internationals. These two geographies are split into multiple segments based on market cap and each segment is equally weighted. In terms of sector exposure, about 57% of the Index is in Information Technology. As a result, TRFM can be highly sensitive to market volatility in both bull and bear markets. Between the Fund’s inception date of July 11, 2022, and October 31, 2022 (“current fiscal period”), TRFM generated a total return of -6.20% (NAV) and -6.19% (Market Price), while the Index generated a total return of -6.03% and the benchmark index, the S&P 500® index, generated a total return of 0.93%.
On a sector basis, the largest contributors to performance were Energy, Materials, and Industrials. The worst performing sectors were Consumer Discretionary and Communications Services. The worst performing country was China (-4200 bps). China accounted for between 8% to 10% of TRFM.
Assessing attribution on a security basis, the largest contributors to TRFM’s return over the period were First Solar, Inc. (US) (+11,276 bps), Calix, Inc. (US) (+8,853 bps), and Archaea Energy, Inc. (US) (+8,528 bps). The largest detractor to TRFM’s performance were XPeng, Inc. (China) (-7,760 bps), GDS Holdings Ltd (China) (-6,841 bps), and Bilibili, Inc. (China) (-6,322 bps).
We remain committed to our fundamental theme that the world is constantly evolving towards a more efficient future as we develop new technologies, and we aim to target companies whose products and services to take us there.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and may trade at a discount or premium to NAV. Shares are not individually redeemable from the Funds and may only be acquired or redeemed from the Funds in creation units. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Companies with high yield or payout ratio may underperform other securities in certain market conditions and reduce or discontinue paying dividends entirely while included in the Index. The Funds’ return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the underlying Index. To the extent the Funds utilize a sampling approach, they may experience tracking error to a greater extent than if the Funds had sought to replicate the Index. Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for emerging markets investments. Investments in mid-cap companies may involve less liquidity and greater volatility than larger companies. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
