Performance
Overview
For
the
period
from
December
14,
2021,
the
fund’s
inception,
through
October
31,
2022,
the
BNY
Mellon
Sustainable
Global
Emerging
Markets
ETF
(the
“fund”)
produced
a
total
return
of
−26.23%
at
net
asset
value.
1
In
comparison,
the
fund’s
benchmark,
the
MSCI
Emerging
Markets
Index
(the
“Index”),
produced
a
total
return
of
−28.10%
for
the
same
period.

Emerging
markets
equities
declined
during
the
reporting
period
under
pressure
from
slowing
Chinese
economic
growth,
increasing
inflation
and
uncertainties
related
to
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
fund
outperformed
the
Index
largely
due
to
positive
positioning
in
the
information
technology
and
consumer
staples
sectors,
as
well
as
positive
stock
selections
in
a
few
other
sectors
The
Fund’s
Investment
Approach
The
fund
seeks
long-term
capital
appreciation.
To
pursue
its
goal,
the
fund
normally
invests
at
least
80%
of
its
net
assets
(plus
the
amount
of
any
borrowings
for
investment
purposes)
in
equity
securities
of
emerging
markets
companies
that
demonstrate
attractive
investment
attributes
and
sustainable
business
practices.
The
fund
considers
an
emerging
markets
company
to
be
a
company
organized
or
with
its
principal
place
of
business
in,
or
that
has
a
majority
of
its
assets
or
business
in,
or
whose
securities
are
primarily
listed
or
traded
on
exchanges
in,
an
emerging
markets
country.
The
fund’s
sub-adviser,
Newton
Investment
Management
Limited
(“Newton”),
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser,
considers
a
company
to
be
engaged
in
“sustainable
business
practices”
if
the
company
(i)
engages
in
such
practices
in
an
economic
sense
(i.e.,
the
company’s
strategy,
operations
and
finances
are
stable
and
durable),
and
takes
appropriate
measures
to
manage
any
material
consequences
or
impact
of
its
policies
and
operations
in
relation
to
environmental,
social
and
governance
(“ESG”)
matters
(e.g.,
the
company’s
environmental
footprint,
labor
standards,
board
structure,
etc.)
and
(ii)
supports
sustainable
development
through
its
business
activities
or
operations
at
the
time
of
investment
(or
is
expected
to
do
so
over
the
long
term)
by
contributing
to
one
or
more
of
the
UN’s
Sustainable
Development
Goals
(SDGs),
as
described
in
the
fund's
prospectus.
Companies
engaged
in
sustainable
business
practices
also
may
include
companies
that
have
committed
explicitly
to
improving
their
environmental
and/or
social
impacts
that
will
lead
to
a
transformation
of
their
business
models.
Mounting
Inflation
Drives
Markets
Lower
A
multitude
of
factors
conspired
to
pull
the
Index
lower
during
the
reporting
period,
though
the
common
thread
was
higher
inflation
and
its
consequences.
Inflation,
already
an
issue
toward
the
end
of
2021,
rose
sharply
following
Russia’s
invasion
of

Ukraine
in
February
2022,
which
caused
a
surge
in
commodity
prices.
As
a
result,
inflation
continued
to
overshoot
expectations,
necessitating
a
more
hawkish
approach
by
central
banks,
not
least
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(the
“Fed”),
which
accelerated
the
pace
of
interest-rate
rises
as
the
period
progressed.
This
steeper-than-expected
trajectory
of
monetary
tightening,
resulting
in
higher
bond
yields
and,
thus,
discount
rates,
drove
a
renewed
derating
of
equities,
with
longer-duration
growth
names
proving
most
vulnerable.
However,
in
the
latter
stages
of
the
period,
the
threat
of
recession
became
the
market’s
dominant
concern,
stemming
from
the
pressure
that
rising
prices
placed
on
consumers.
Generally
weak
economic
data
emerged
from
China,
caused
by
tight
COVID-19
restrictions
over
much
of
the
year
and
supply-chain
bottleneck issues
that
limited
growth.
In
October
2022,
investor
sentiment
was
further
undermined
by
the
Biden
administration’s
announcement
of
new
restrictions
on
China’s
access
to
U.S.
semiconductor
technology,
and
by
a
new
Chinese
leadership
team
revealed
at
the
Communist
Party’s
20th
Congress
that
demonstrated
President
Xi
Jinping
tightening
grip
on
power.
Fund
Allocations
and
Stock
Selections
Detract
from
Relative
Performance
The
fund
benefited
most
from
positioning
in
the
information
technology
sector,
led
by
the
outperformance
of
Chinese
solar
cell
laser
equipment
producer
Wuhan
DR
Laser
Technology.
Consumer
staples
positioning
also
bolstered
relative
returns,
with
the
sector’s
defensive
qualities
particularly
in
favor
during
the
sharp
market
downturn
in
September
2022.
Notably
strong
holdings
included
India-based
consumer
products
companies
Hindustan
Unilever
and
Marico,
and
Brazil-based
retail
pharmacy
Raia
Drogasil.
Among
other
sectors,
U.S.-based
lithium
mining
company
Livent
provided
a
positive
contribution,
as
continued
strong
demand
for
lithium
from
battery
manufacturers
led
to
price
strength,
while
holdings
in
companies
promoting
energy
efficiency—such
as
Brazil-based
machinery
maker
WEG,
China-based
industrial
company
Shenzhen
Inovance
Technology
and
Taiwan-based
manufacturer
Delta
Electronics—further
added
to
performance.
On
a
country
basis,
the
fund’s
positioning
in
China
supported
returns,
largely
due
to
lack
of
exposure
to
technology
giants
Tencent
and
Alibaba,
which
came
under
pressure
from
the
tough
Chinese
regulatory
environment,
fears
over
growing
competition
and
the
impact
of
the
country’s
strict
zero-COVID-19
policy.
Relatively
low
exposure
to
Russia
further
enhanced
relative
performance.
Conversely,
several
allocation
decisions
and
individual
stock
selections
detracted
from
the
fund’s
performance
relative
to
the
Index.
Underweight
exposure
to
banks
(particularly
banks
with
low
returns
on
assets
that
are
operating
in
mature
banking
systems)
made
the
financial
sector
a
material
area
of
relative
weakness.
In
the
prevailing
environment
of
uncertainty,
some
of
the
fund’s
holdings
in
the
industrials
sector
declined,
further
contributing
to
underperformance.
As
oil
and
gas
prices
rose
to
multi-year
highs,
the
fund’s
zero
exposure
to
the
energy
sector,
where
most
companies
5
have
poor
sustainability
profiles,
also
undermined
relative
returns,
although
lack
of
exposure
to
Russian
oil
and
gas
companies
contributed
positively.
Regarding
country
exposure,
the
fund’s
zero
weight
in
oil-rich
Saudi
Arabia
detracted
significantly.
Among
individual
holdings,
after
Russia
invaded
Ukraine,
trading
was
halted
in
the
fund’s
sole
Russian-listed
position,
online
recruitment
platform
HeadHunter,
before
it
was
written
down
to
zero.
Another
notably
weak-performing
holding,
Chinese
drug
research
and
development
services
company
Pharmaron
Beijing,
struggled
during
the
second
half
of
the
period
as
it
reported
a
slowdown
in
overall
margin
growth
due
to
a
rise
in
operating
costs.
The
shares
came
under
further
pressure—along
with
its
Chinese
peers—after
U.S.
President
Joe
Biden
signed
an
executive
order
laying
out
a
strategy
to
boost
domestic
biomanufacturing
and
reduce
reliance
on
China
for
new
medicines.
However,
we
believe
that
Pharmaron
should
not
be
materially
affected
by
the
action.
Maintaining
the
Fund’s
Long-Term
Focus
Over
the
shorter
term,
we
believe
asset
prices
are
likely
to
continue
to
be
influenced
by
the
inflationary
forces
we
see
in
the
United
States,
along
with
the
response
of
the
Fed.
Other
variables
that
will
probably
influence
the
trajectory
of
emerging
markets
equities
in
the
months
ahead
include
the
conflict
in
Ukraine,
commodity
prices,
the
strength
of
the
U.S.
dollar
and
news
from
China,
especially
in
relation
to
COVID-19
lockdowns
and
macroeconomic
conditions.
Emerging
markets
equities
currently
trade
at
an
unusually
high
discount
to
developed
markets,
providing
a
conducive
backdrop
if
these
shorter-term
variables
prove
favorable.
Notwithstanding
the
potential
for
short-term
gains
in
the
asset
class,
we
prefer
to
highlight
the
longer-term
opportunities
in
emerging
markets
based
on
relatively
high
levels
of
income
growth,
rapid
increases
in
product
penetration
and
scope
for
industry
consolidation.
We
see
unique
opportunities
for
emerging
markets
companies
that
are
well-exposed
to
reliable,
secular-growth
trends,
and
that
can
exploit
these
opportunities
better
than
their
peers
by
virtue
of
their
differentiated
customer
offering
and
superior
execution.
Accordingly,
emerging
markets
investors
who
can
identify
the
best-positioned
growth
themes
and
companies
should
be
well
rewarded
over
the
long
term.
As
of
October
31,
2022,
on
a
country
basis,
the
fund
holds
its
most
overweight
position
in
India,
which
we
believe
offers
many
of
the
most
attractive,
bottom-up
investment
opportunities
in
emerging
markets
over
five
years
and
beyond.
The
fund
also
holds
overweight
exposure
to
China/Hong
Kong,
with
a
focus
on
businesses
poised
to
benefit
from
China’s
efforts
to
become
economically
self-sufficient,
or
even
assume
leadership
in
certain
strategic
and
value-added
industries.
On
a
sector
basis,
the
fund
holds
its
most
overweight
exposure
in
consumer
staples
and
industrials,
where
we
have
found
several
businesses
with
attractive,
long-term
growth
opportunities
and
high
returns
on
capital.

Equities
are

generally
to

sector,
market
liquidity,
issuer
and
investment
style
risks,
among
other
factors,
to
varying
degrees,
all
of
which
are
more
fully
described
in
the
fund’s
prospectus.
Recent
market
risks
include
pandemic
risks
related
to
COVID-19.
The
effects
of
COVID-19
have
contributed
to
increased
volatility
in
global
markets
and
will
likely
affect
certain
countries,
companies,
industries
and
market
sectors
more
dramatically
than
others.
To
the
extent
the
fund
may
overweight
its
investments
in
certain
countries,
companies,
industries
or
market
sectors,
such
positions
will
increase
the
fund's
exposure
to
risk
of
loss
from
adverse
developments
affecting
those
countries,
companies,
industries
or
sectors.
Emerging
markets
tend
to
be
more
volatile
than
the
markets
of
more
mature
economies
and
generally
have
less
diverse
and
less
mature
economic
structures
and
less
stable
political
systems
than
those
of
developed
countries.
The
securities
of
companies
located
in
emerging
markets
are
often
subject
to
rapid
and
large
changes
in
price.
An
investment
in
this
fund
should
be
considered
only
as
a
supplement
to
a
complete
investment
program
for
those
investors
willing
to
accept
the
greater
risks
associated
with
investing
in
emerging-markets
countries.
Investing
internationally
involves
special
risks,
including
changes
in
currency
exchange
rates,
political,
economic
and
social
instability,
a
lack
of
comprehensive
company
information,
differing
auditing
and
legal
standards
and
less
market
liquidity.
These
risks
generally
are
greater
with
emerging-markets
countries
than
with
more
economically
and
politically
established
foreign
countries.
The
fund
may,
but
is
not
required
to,
use
derivative
instruments.
A
small
investment
in
derivatives
could
have
a
potentially
large
impact
on
the
fund’s
performance.
The
use
of
derivatives
involves
risks
different
from,
or
possibly
greater
than,
the
risks
associated
with
investing
directly
in
the
underlying
assets.
Environmental,
social
and
governance
(ESG)
managers
may
take
into
consideration
factors
beyond
traditional
financial
information
to
select
securities,
which
could
result
in
relative
investment
performance
deviating
from
other
strategies
or
broad
market
benchmarks,
depending
on
whether
such
sectors
or
investments
are
in
or
out
of
favor
in
the
market.
Further,
ESG
strategies
may
rely
on
certain
values-based
criteria
to
eliminate
exposures
found
in
similar
strategies
or
broad
market
benchmarks,
which
could
also
result
in

how
much
a
$1,000
investment
would
be
worth
at
the
close
of
the
period,
assuming
net
asset
value
total
returns
and
actual
expenses.
You
may
use
the
information
in
these
columns,
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
for
the
fund
under
the
heading
entitled
“Expenses
paid
for
the
period”
to
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
on
your
account
during
this
period.
Hypothetical
Example
For
Comparison
Purposes
The
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
has
established
guidelines
to
help
investors
assess
fund
expenses.
The
information
under
each
column
in
the
table
entitled
“Hypothetical”
provides
information
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
assuming
a
hypothetical
5%
annualized
return,
which
is
not
the
fund’s
actual
return.
The
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period.
You
may
use
this
information
to
compare
the
ongoing
expenses
(but
not
transaction
expenses
or
total
cost)
of
investing
in
the
fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
the
other
funds.
Please
note
that
the
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
your
ongoing
costs
only
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs,
such
as
brokerage
commissions
paid
on
purchases
and
sales
of
fund
shares.
Therefore,
the
ending
account
values
and
expenses
paid
for
the
period
in
the
table
are
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
expenses
(but
not
transaction
expenses
or
total
cost)
of
investing
in
the
fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
In
addition,
if
these
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
costs
would
have
been
higher.
For
the
six
months
ended
October
31,
2022
(a)
Expenses
are
calculated
using
the
annualized
expense
ratio,
which
represents
the
ongoing
expenses
as
a
percentage
of
net
assets
for
the
six-month
period
ended
October
31,
2022.
Expenses
are
calculated
by
multiplying
the
fund’s
annualized
expense
ratio
by
the
average
account
value
for
the
period,
then
multiplying
the
result
by
184/365.

Because
fund
Shares
trade
at
market
prices
rather
than
at
NAV,
fund
Shares
may
trade
at
a
price
greater
than
NAV
(premium)
or
less
than
NAV
(discount).
When
buying
or
selling
Shares
in
the
secondary

you
may
incur
costs
attributable
to
the
difference
between
the
highest
price
a

of
the

Rules
and

releases
of
the
SEC

laws
are
also
sources
of
authoritative
GAAP
for

company
and
applies
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance

of
the
FASB
ASC
Topic
946
Financial
Services-Investment
Companies. The
fund’s
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
accordance
with
GAAP,
which
may
require
the
use
of
management
estimates
and
assumptions.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.  
The
Trust
accounts
separately
for
the
assets,
liabilities
and
operations
of
each
series.
Expenses
directly
attributable
to
each
series
are
charged
to
that
series’
operations;
expenses
which
are
applicable
to
all
series
are
allocated
among
them
on
a
pro

basis.
The
Trust
enters
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
indemnifications.
The
fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown.
The
fund
does
not
anticipate
recognizing
any
loss
related
to
these
arrangements. 
(a)
Portfolio
valuation:
The
fair
value
of
a
financial
instrument
is
the
amount
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date
(i.e.,
the
exit
price).
GAAP
establishes
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
prioritizes
the
inputs
of
valuation
techniques
used
to
measure
fair
value.
This
hierarchy
gives
the
highest
priority
to
unadjusted
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
assets
or
liabilities
(Level
1
measurements)
and
the
lowest
priority
to
unobservable
inputs
(Level
3
measurements).
Additionally,
GAAP
provides
guidance
on
determining
whether
the
volume
and
activity
in
a
market
has
decreased
significantly
and
whether
such
a
decrease
in
activity
results
in
transactions
that
are
not
orderly.
GAAP
requires
enhanced
disclosures
around
valuation
inputs
and
techniques
used
during
annual
and
interim
periods.
Various
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
fund’s
investments
relating
to
fair
value
measurements.
These
inputs
are
summarized
in
the
three
broad
levels
listed
below:
Level
1
unadjusted
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
investments.
Level
2
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar 
investments,
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.
Changes
in
valuation
techniques
may
result
in
transfers
in
or
out
of
an
assigned
level
within
the
disclosure
hierarchy.
Valuation
techniques
used
to
value
the
fund’s
investments
are
as
follows:

The
Trust’s Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”)
has
designated
the
Adviser
as
the
fund’s
valuation
designee,
effective
September
8,
2022, to
make
all
fair
value
determinations
with
respect
to
the
fund’s
portfolio
of
investments,
subject
to
the
Board’s
oversight
and
pursuant
to
Rule
2a-5
under
the
Act.
Investments
in
equity
securities,
including
ETFs
(but
not
including
investments
in
other
open-end
registered
investment
companies)
generally
are
valued
at
the
last
sales
price
on
the
day
of
valuation
on
the
securities
exchange
or
national
securities
market
on
which
such
securities
primarily
are
traded.
Securities
listed
on
the
National
Association
of
Securities
Dealers
Automated
Quotation
System
(“NASDAQ”)
for
which
market
quotations
are
available
will
be
valued
at
the
official
closing
price.
If
there
are
no
transactions
in
a
security,
or
no
official
closing
prices
for
a
NASDAQ
market-listed
security
on
that
day,
the
security
will
be
valued
at
the
average
of
the
most
recent
bid
and
asked
prices.
Bid
price
is
used
when
no
asked
price
is
available.
Open
short
positions
for
which
there
is
no
sale
price
on
a
given
day
are
valued
at
the
lowest
asked
price.
Registered
investment
companies
that
are
not
traded
on
an
exchange
are
valued
at
their
net
asset
value.
All
of
the
preceding
securities
are
generally
categorized
within
Level
1
of
the
fair
value
hierarchy. 
When
market
quotations
or
official
closing
prices
are
not
readily
available,
or
are
determined
not
to
reflect
fair
value
accurately,
they
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
based
on
procedures
approved
by
the
Board.
Fair
value
of
investments
may
be
determined
by
valuation
designee
using
such
information
as
it
deems
appropriate
under
the
circumstances.
Certain
factors
may
be
considered
when
fair
valuing
investments
such
as:
fundamental
analytical
data,
the
nature
and
duration
of
restrictions
on
disposition,
an
evaluation
of
the
forces
that
influence
the
market
in
which
the
securities
are
purchased
and
sold,
and
public
trading
in
similar
securities
of
the
issuer
or
comparable
issuers.
These
securities
are
either
categorized
within
Level
2
or
3
of
the
fair
value
hierarchy
depending
on
the
relevant
inputs
used.
For
securities
where
observable
inputs
are
limited,
assumptions
about
market
activity
and
risk
are
used
and
are
generally
categorized
within
Level
3
of
the
fair
value
hierarchy.
Investments
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
to
U.S.
dollars
at
the
prevailing
rates
of
exchange.

summarizes
the
inputs
used
as
of October

resulting
from
changes
in

rates.
Foreign
currency
gains
and
losses
on
foreign
currency
transactions
are
also
included
with
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
or
loss
on

Foreign
Taxes:
The
fund
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxes
(a
portion
of
which
may
be
reclaimable)
on
income,
stock
dividends,
realized
and
unrealized
capital
gains
on
investments
or
certain
foreign
currency
transactions.
Foreign
taxes
are
recorded
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
foreign
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions
in
which
the
fund
invests.
These
foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
paid
by
the
fund
and
are
reflected
in
the
Statement
of
Operations,
if
applicable.
Foreign
taxes
payable
or
deferred
or
those
subject
to
reclaims
as
of
October
31,
2022,
if
any,
are
disclosed
in
the
fund’s
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
(c) Securities
transactions
and
investment
income:
Securities
transactions
are
recorded
on
a
trade
date
basis.
Realized
gains
and
losses
from
securities
transactions
are
recorded
on
the
identified
cost
basis.
Dividend
income
is
recognized
on
the
ex-
dividend
date
and
interest
income,
including,
where
applicable,
accretion
of
discount
and
amortization
of
premium
on
investments,
is
recognized
on
the
accrual
basis.
(d)
Affiliated
issuers:
Investments
in
other
investment
companies
advised
by
the
Adviser
are
defined
as
“affiliated”
under
the
Act. 
(e)
Market
Risk:
The
value
of
the
securities
in
which
the
fund
invests
may
be
affected
by
political,
regulatory,
economic
and
social
developments,
and
developments
that
impact
specific
economic
sectors,
industries
or
segments
of
the
market.
The
value
of
a
security
may
also
decline
due
to
general
market
conditions
that
are
not
specifically
related
to
a
particular
company
or
industry,
such
as
real
or
perceived
adverse
economic
conditions,
changes
in
the
general
outlook
for
corporate
earnings,
changes
in
interest
or
currency
rates,
changes
to
inflation,
adverse
changes
to
credit
markets
or
adverse
investor
sentiment
generally.
In
addition,
turbulence
in
financial
markets
and
reduced
liquidity
in
equity,
credit
and/or
fixed
income
markets
may
negatively
affect
many
issuers,
which
could
adversely
affect
the
fund.
Global
economies
and
financial
markets
are
becoming
increasingly
interconnected,
and
conditions
and
events
in
one
country,
region
or
financial
market
may
adversely
impact
issuers
in
a
different
country,
region
or
financial
market.
These
risks
may
be
magnified
if
certain
events
or
developments
adversely
interrupt
the
global
supply
chain;
in
these
and
other
circumstances,
such
risks
might
affect
companies
world-wide.
Recent
examples
include
pandemic
risks
related
to
COVID-19
and
aggressive
measures
taken
world-wide
in
response
by
governments,
including
closing
borders,
restricting
international
and
domestic
travel,
and
the
imposition
of
prolonged
quarantines
of
large
populations,
and
by
businesses,
including
changes
to
operations
and
reducing
staff.
Emerging
Market
Risk:
The
securities
of
issuers
located
or
doing
substantial
business
in
emerging
market
countries
tend
to
be
more
volatile
and
less
liquid
than
the
securities
of
issuers
located
in
countries
with
more
mature
economies.  Emerging
21
markets
generally
have
less
diverse
and
less
mature
economic
structures
and
less
stable
political
systems
than
those
of
developed
countries.
Investments
in
these
countries
may
be
subject
to
political,
economic,
legal,
market
and
currency
risks.
Special
risks
associated
with
investments
in
emerging
market
issuers
may
include
the
lack
of
publicly
available
information,
the
lack
of
uniform
disclosure,
accounting
and
financial
reporting
and
recordkeeping
standards,
and
limited
investor
protections
applicable
in
developed
economies.
The
risks
also
may
include
unpredictable
political
and
economic
policies,
the
imposition
of
capital
controls
and/or
foreign
investment
limitations
by
a
country,
nationalization
of
businesses,
and
the
imposition
of
sanctions
or
restrictions
on
certain
investments
by
other
countries,
such
as
the
United
States.
Foreign
Investment
Risk:
To
the
extent
the
fund
invests
in
foreign
securities,
the
fund’s
performance
will
be
influenced
by
political,
social
and
economic
factors
affecting
investments
in
foreign
issuers.
Special
risk
associated
with
investments
in
foreign
issuers
include
exposure
to
currency
fluctuations,
less
liquidity,
less
developed
or
less
efficient
trading
markets,
lack
of
comprehensive
company
information,
political
and
economic
instability
and
differing
auditing
and
legal
standards.
Non-Diversification
Risk:
The
fund
is
non-diversified,
which
means
that
the
fund
may
invest
a
relatively
high
percentage
of
its
assets
in
a
limited
number
of
issuers.
Therefore,
the
fund’s
performance
may
be
more
vulnerable
to
changes
in
the
market
value
of
a
single
issuer
or
group
of
issuers
and
more
susceptible
to
risks
associated
with
a
single
economic,
political
or
regulatory
occurrence
than
a
diversified
fund.
(f)
Dividends
and
distributions
to
shareholders:
Dividends
and
distributions are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Dividends
from
net
investment
income
and
dividends
from net
realized
capital
gains,
if
any,
are
normally
declared
and
paid
annually,
but
the
fund
may
make
distributions
on
a
more
frequent
basis
to
comply
with
the
distribution
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended
(the
“Code”).
To
the
extent
that
net
realized
capital
gains
can
be
offset
by
capital
loss
carryovers
of
a
fund,
it
is
the
policy
of
the
fund
not
to
distribute
such
gains.
Income
and
capital
gain
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
GAAP.
(g)
Federal
income
taxes:
It
is
the
policy
of
the
fund
to
continue
to qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company,
if
such
qualification
is
in
the
best
interests
of
its
shareholders,
by
complying
with
the
applicable
provisions
of
the
Code,
and
to
make
distributions
of
taxable
income
and
net
realized
capital
gain sufficient
to
relieve
it
from
substantially
all
federal
income
and
excise
taxes.
As
of
and
during
the period
ended October
31,
2022,
the
fund
did
not
have
any
liabilities
for
any
uncertain
tax
positions.
The
fund
recognizes
interest
and
penalties,
if
any,
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
as
income
tax
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
During
the period
ended October
31,
2022,
the
fund
did
not
incur
any
interest
or
penalties.

The
tax
year
in
the
period
ended
October
31,
2022 remains
subject
to
examination
by
the
Internal
Revenue
Service
and
state
taxing
authorities.
At October

2022,
the
components
of
accumulated
earnings
on
a

basis
were
as
follows:
undistributed
ordinary
income
$35,677,
accumulated
capital
losses
$549,377, and
unrealized depreciation
$2,200,075.
The
fund is
permitted
to
carry
forward
capital
losses
for
an
unlimited
period.
Furthermore,
capital
loss
carryovers
retain
their
character
as
either
short-term
or
long-
term
capital
losses.
The
accumulated
capital
loss
carryover
is
available
for
federal

tax
purposes
to
be
applied
against
future
net
realized
capital
gains,
if
any,
realized
subsequent
to
October

2022.
The
fund
has
$549,377
of
short-term
capital
losses
which
can
be
carried
forward
for
an
unlimited
period.
The
fund
had
no

paid
to
shareholders
during
the

NOTE
3—Management
Fee,
Sub-Advisory
Fee
and
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates:
(a)
Pursuant
to
a
management
agreement
with
the
Adviser,
the
management
fee
is computed
at
an
annual
rate of
0.75%
of
the
value
of
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets
and
is
payable
monthly.
The
fund’s
management
agreement
provides
that
the
Adviser
pays
substantially
all
expenses
of
the
fund,
except
for
the
management
fees,
payments
under
the
fund’s
12b-1
plan
(if

and
other
extraordinary
expenses
not
incurred
in
the

fund
operating
expenses.
Any
such
voluntary
waiver
or
reimbursement
may
be
eliminated
by
the
Adviser
at
any
time.
During
the
period
ended
October
31,
2022,
there
was
no
reduction
in
expenses
pursuant
to
the
undertaking.
Pursuant
to
a
sub-investment
advisory
agreement
between
the
Adviser
and
the
Sub-
Adviser,
the
Sub-Adviser
serves
as
the
fund’s
sub-adviser
responsible
for
the
day-to-day
management
of
the
fund’s
portfolio.
The
Adviser
pays
the
Sub-Adviser
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
percentage
of
the
value
of
the
fund's
average
daily
net
assets.
The
Adviser
has
obtained
an
exemptive
order
from
the
SEC
(the
“Order”),
upon
which
the
fund
may
rely,
to
use
a
manager
of
managers
approach
that
permits
the
Adviser,
subject
to
certain
conditions
and
approval
by
the
Board,
to
enter
into
and
materially
amend
sub-investment
advisory
agreements
with
one
or
more
sub-advisers
who
are
either
23
unaffiliated
or
affiliated
with
the
Adviser
without
obtaining
shareholder
approval.
The
Order
also
relieves
the
fund
from
disclosing
the
sub-advisory
fee
paid
by
the
Adviser
to
a
Sub-Adviser
in
documents
filed
with
the
SEC
and
provided
to
shareholders.
In
addition,
pursuant
to
the
Order,
it
is
not
necessary
to
disclose
the
sub-advisory
fee
payable
by
the
Adviser
separately
to
a
Sub-Adviser
that
is
a
wholly-owned
subsidiary
(as
defined
in
the
1940
Act)
of
BNY
Mellon
in
documents
filed
with
the
SEC
and
provided
to
shareholders;
such
fees
are
to
be
aggregated
with
fees
payable
to
the
Adviser.
The
Adviser
has
ultimate
responsibility
(subject
to
oversight
by
the
Board)
to
supervise
any
Sub-Adviser
and
recommend
the
hiring,
termination,
and
replacement
of
any
Sub-Adviser
to
the
Board.
Pursuant
to
a
sub-investment
advisory
agreement
between
the
Adviser
and
the
Sub-
Adviser,
the
Adviser
pays
the
Sub-Adviser
a
monthly
fee
at
an
annual
rate
of
0.375%
of
the
value
of
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets.
The
Adviser,
and
not
the
fund,
pays
the
Sub-Adviser
fee
rate.
(b)
The
fund
has
an
arrangement
with
The
Bank
of
New
York
Mellon
(the
“Custodian”),
a
subsidiary
of
BNY
Mellon
and
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser, whereby
the
fund
will
receive
interest
income
or
be
charged
overdraft
fees
when
cash
balances
are
maintained.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
the
fund
includes
this
interest
income
and
overdraft
fees,
if
any,
as
interest
income
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
The
components
of
“Due
to
BNY
Mellon
ETF Investment
Adviser,
LLC”
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
consist
of:
management
fee
of $5,837.
(c)
Each
Board
member
serves
as
a
Board
member
of
each
fund
within
the
Trust.
The
Board
members
are
not
compensated
directly
by
the
fund.
The
Board
members
are
paid
by
the
Adviser
from
the
unitary
management
fee
paid
to
the
Adviser
by
the
fund.
The
quarterly
fees
are
paid
by

NOTE
5—Shareholder
Transactions:
The
fund
issues
and
redeems
its
shares
on
a
continuous
basis,
at
NAV,
to
certain
institutional
investors
known
as
“Authorized
Participants”
(typically
market
makers
or
other
broker-dealers)
only
in
a
large
specified
number
of
shares
called
a
Creation
Unit.
Except
when
aggregated
in
Creation
Units,
shares
of
the
fund
are
not
redeemable.
The
value
of
the
fund
is
determined
once
each
business
day.
The
Creation
Unit
size
for the
fund
may
change.
Authorized
Participants
will
be
notified
of
such
change.
Creation
Unit
transactions
may
be
made
in-kind,
for
cash,
or
for
a
combination
of
securities
and
cash.
The
principal
consideration
for
creations
and
redemptions
for
the
fund
is
in-kind,
although
this
may
be
revised
at
any
time
without
notice.
The
Trust
issues
and
sells
shares
of
the
fund
only:
in
Creation
Units
on
a
continuous
basis
through
the
Distributor,
without
a
sales
load,
at
their
NAV
per
share
determined
after
receipt
of
an
order,
on
any
Business
Day,
in
proper
form
pursuant
to
the
terms
of
the
Authorized
Participant
Agreement.
Transactions
in
capital
shares
for
the
fund
are
disclosed
in
detail
in
the
Statement
of
Changes
in
Net
Assets.
The
consideration
for
the
purchase
of
Creation
Units
of the
fund
may
consist
of
the
in-kind
deposit
of
a
designated
portfolio
of
securities
and
a
specified
amount
of
cash.
Investors
purchasing
and
redeeming
Creation
Units
may
pay
a
purchase
transaction
fee
and
a
redemption
transaction
fee
directly
to
the
Trust
and/or
custodian
to
offset
transfer
and
other
transaction
costs
associated
with
the
issuance
and
redemption
of
Creation
Units,
including
Creation
Units
for
cash.
The
Adviser
or
its
affiliates
(the
“Selling
Shareholder”)
may
purchase
Creation
Units
through
a
broker-dealer
to
“seed”
(in
whole
or
in
part)
funds
as
they
are
launched
or
may
purchase shares
from
broker-dealers
or
other
investors
that
have
previously
provided
“seed”
for
funds
when
they
were
launched
or
otherwise
in
secondary
market
transactions.
Because
the
Selling
Shareholder
may
be
deemed
an
affiliate
of
such
funds,
the
fund shares
are
being
registered
to
permit
the
resale
of
these
shares
from
time
to
time
after
purchase.
The
fund
will
not
receive
any
of
the
proceeds
from
resale
by
the
Selling
Shareholders
of
these
fund
shares. An
additional
variable
fee
may
be
charged
for
certain
transactions.
Such
variable
charges,
if
any,
are
included
in
“Transaction
fees”
on
the
Statement
of
Changes
in
Net
Assets.
In-kind
Redemptions:
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
in-kind
redemptions
are
treated
as
sales
of
securities
resulting
in
realized
capital
gains
or
losses
to
the
fund.
Because
such
gains
or
losses
are
not
taxable
to
the
fund
and
are
not
distributed
to
existing
fund
shareholders,
the
gains
or
losses
are
reclassified
from
accumulated
net
realized
gain
(loss)
to
paid-in
capital
at
the
end
of
the
fund’s
tax
year.
These
reclassifications
have
no
effect
on
net
assets
or
net
asset
value
per
share.
During
the
year
ended
October
31,
2022,
the
fund
had
in-kind
transactions
associated
with
creations
of
$3,989,913
and
redemptions
of
$0.

FIRM

To
the
Shareholders
and
the
Board
of
Trustees
of
BNY
Mellon
Sustainable
Global
Emerging
Markets
ETF
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities
of
BNY
Mellon
Sustainable
Global
Emerging
Markets
ETF
(the
“Fund”)
(one
of
the
funds
constituting
BNY
Mellon
ETF
Trust
(the
“Trust”)),
including
the
statement
of
investments,
as
of
October
31,
2022,
and
the
related
statements
of
operations,
changes
in
net
assets,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
period
from
December
15,
2021
(commencement
of
operations)
through
October
31,
2022
and
the
related
notes
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
(one
of
the
funds
constituting
BNY
Mellon
ETF
Trust)
at
October
31,
2022,
the
results
of
its
operations,
the
changes
in
its
net
assets
and
its
financial
highlights
for
the
period
from
December
15,
2021
(commencement
of
operations)
through
October
31,
2022,
in
conformity
with
U.S.
generally
accepted
accounting
principles.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Trust’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audit.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
("PCAOB")
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Trust
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audit
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
The
Trust
is
not
required
to
have,
nor
were
we
engaged
to
perform,
an
audit
of
the
Trust’s
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
As
part
of
our
audit,
we
are
required
to
obtain
an
understanding
of
internal
control
over
financial
reporting
but
not
for
the
purpose
of
expressing
an
opinion
on
the
effectiveness
of
the
Trust’s
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
Accordingly,
we
express
no
such
opinion.
Our
audit
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
October
31,
2022,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
brokers
and
others;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers
and
others,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
Our
audit
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
We
believe
that
our
audit
provides
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.
We
have
served
as
the
auditor
of
one
or
more
investment
companies
in
the
BNY
Mellon
Family
of
Funds
since
at
least
1957,
but
we
are
unable
to
determine
the
specific
year.

LIQUIDITY
RISK
MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM
(Unaudited)
27
The
funds
have
adopted
a
liquidity
risk
management
program
(the
“Program”)
pursuant
to
the
requirements
of
Rule
22e-4
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended.
Rule
22e-4
requires
registered
open-end
funds,
including
exchange-traded
funds,
to
establish
liquidity
risk
management
programs
in
order
to
effectively
manage
fund
liquidity
and
shareholder
redemptions.
The
rule
is
designed
to
mitigate
the
risk
that
a
fund
could
not
meet
redemption
requests
without
significantly
diluting
the
interests
of
remaining
investors.
The
Board
has
appointed
BNY
Mellon
ETF
Investment
Adviser,
LLC,
the
investment
adviser
to
the
funds,
as
the
Program
Administrator.
The
rule
requires
each
fund
to
assess,
manage
and
review
its
liquidity
risk
at
least
annually,
considering
applicable
factors
such
as
investment
strategy
and
liquidity
during
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions,
including
whether
the
strategy
is
appropriate
for
an
open-end
fund
and
whether
the
fund
has
a
relatively
concentrated
portfolio
or
large
positions
in
particular
issuers.
Each
fund
must
also
assess
its
use
of
borrowings
and
derivatives,
short-
term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections
in
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions,
holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
and
borrowing
arrangements
and
other
funding
sources.
In
addition,
with
respect
to
an
exchange-traded
fund,
a
fund
must
assess
the
relationship
between
the
fund’s
portfolio
liquidity
and
the
way
in
which,
and
the
prices
and
spreads
at
which,
the
fund’s
shares
trade,
and
the
effect
of
the
composition
of
baskets
on
the
overall
liquidity
of
the
fund’s
portfolio.
The
rule
also
generally
requires
funds
to
classify
each
of
their
investments
as
highly
liquid,
moderately
liquid,
less
liquid
or
illiquid
based
on
the
number
of
days
the
fund
expects
it
would
take
to
liquidate
the
investment,
and
to
review
these
classifications
at
least
monthly
or
more
often
under
certain
conditions.
Illiquid
investments
are
those
a
fund
does
not
expect
to
be
able
to
sell
or
dispose
of
within
seven
calendar
days
without
the
sale
or
disposition
significantly
changing
the
market
value
of
the
investment.
A
fund
is
prohibited
from
acquiring
an
investment
if,
after
the
acquisition,
its
holdings
of
illiquid
assets
will
exceed
15%
of
its
net
assets.
In
addition,
if
a
fund
permits
redemptions
in-kind,
the
rule
requires
the
fund
to
establish
redemption
in-kind
policies
and
procedures
governing
how
and
when
it
will
engage
in
such
redemptions.
Pursuant
to
the
rule’s
requirements,
the
Program
has
been
reviewed
and
approved
by
the
Board.
Furthermore,
at
its
October
2022
meeting,
the
Board
received
a
written
report
prepared
by
the
Program
Administrator,
for
the
period
October
31,
2021
to
September
30,
2022,
addressing
the
operation
of
the
Program,
assessing
the
Program’s
adequacy
and
effectiveness
and
describing
any
material
changes
made
to
the
Program.
LIQUIDITY

(Unaudited)
(continued)
28
Assessment
of
Program
In
the
opinion
of
the
Program
Administrator,
the
Program
approved
by
the
Board
continues
to
be
adequate
for
the
funds
and
the
Program
has
been
implemented
effectively.
The
Program
Administrator
has
monitored
each
fund’s
liquidity
risk
and
the
liquidity
classification
of
the
securities
held
by
the
funds
and
has
determined
that
the
Program
is
operating
effectively.
During
the
period
from
October
31,
2021
to
September
30,
2022,
there
were
no
material
changes
to
the
Program
and
no
material
liquidity
events
that
impacted
the
funds.
During
the
period,
each
fund
held
sufficient
highly
liquid
assets
to
meet
fund
redemptions.
Under
normal
expected
foreseeable
fund
redemption
forecasts
and
foreseeable
stressed
fund
redemption
forecasts,
the
Program
Administrator
believes
that
each
fund
maintains
sufficient
highly
liquid
assets
to
meet
expected
fund
redemptions.
