Semi-Annual
Report
December 31, 2021
Before investing you should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is available in the Fund’s prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained by visiting the Fund’s website at www.oshares.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
There are risks involved with investing, including possible loss of principal. Concentration in a particular industry or sector may subject the Funds to a greater degree to the risks particular to that industry or sector. A Fund’s emphasis on dividend paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Also, a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend after a Fund’s purchase of such a company’s securities. The securities of small and mid-capitalization companies are often more volatile and less liquid than the stocks of larger companies and may be more affected than other types of securities during market downturns. Compared to larger companies, small and mid-capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Exposures to foreign securities entail special risks, including political, diplomatic and economic risks; regulatory risks; and foreign market and trading risks. In addition, the Fund’s investments in securities denominated in other currencies could decline due to changes in local currency relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the Fund’s returns. See the prospectus for specific risks regarding the Funds.
Individual shares of the Funds may be purchased or sold in the secondary market throughout the regular trading day on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. through a brokerage account. However, shares are not individually redeemable directly from the Funds. Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (‘‘NAV’’), only in large blocks of shares (‘‘Creation Units’’), principally in-kind for securities included in the relevant Index.

O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF (OUSA)
The Fund seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend Index (the “OUSA Index”). The OUSA Index is designed to measure the performance of publicly-listed large capitalization and mid-capitalization dividend-paying issuers in the United States that meet certain market capitalization, liquidity, high quality, low volatility and dividend yield thresholds, as determined by O’Shares Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Index Provider”).

**Commencement of investment operations.
(1)Net investment income (loss) per share is based on average shares outstanding.
(2)Annualized for periods less than one year.
(3)Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(4)Had certain expenses not been waived during the periods, if applicable, total returns would have been lower.
(5)Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period and redemption on the last day of the period at net asset value.
(6)Market value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at market value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period and redemption on the last day of the period at market value. The market value is determined by the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 p.m. from the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Market value returns may vary from net asset value returns.
(7)In-kind transactions are not included in portfolio turnover calculations.

1. Organization
OSI ETF Trust (the ‘‘Trust’’) a Delaware statutory trust organized on April 12, 2016 and is authorized to issue multiple series or portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ‘‘1940 Act’’). The Trust currently consists of four operational exchange-traded funds (each a ‘‘Fund’’ and collectively, the ‘‘Funds’’). The O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF, O’Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares Europe Quality Dividend ETF are diversified series of the Trust, pursuant to the 1940 Act. The O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF is a non-diversified series of the Trust, pursuant to the 1940 Act. O’Shares Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to each fund.
Each Fund seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of a specified underlying index (each, a ‘‘Target Index’’). There can be no assurance that the Funds’ investment objectives will be achieved.
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 their financial statements. These policies have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and 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 net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. NAV per share is computed by dividing the net assets by the number of each Fund’s shares outstanding.
When calculating the NAV of each Fund’s shares, securities held by the Funds are valued at market quotations when reliable market quotations are readily available. Exchange traded securities and instruments (including equity securities, depositary receipts and ETFs) are generally valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such securities are traded (at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price for NASDAQ listed securities), as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities and instruments not traded on an exchange are generally valued using prices provided by a third party pricing service. In the absence of a recorded transaction sale price; or if the last sale price is unavailable, securities are valued at the mean between last bid and ask, as quoted. If an ask price is unavailable, last bid price is used. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
When reliable market quotations are not readily available, securities are priced at their fair value in accordance with the Trust’s valuation guidelines, which were approved by the Board of Trustees (the ‘‘Trustees’’). The Funds may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when the value of a Fund’s security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of such security) or trading in such security has been suspended or halted. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Target Index. This may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to track its Target Index. Securities of non-exchange traded investment companies are valued at their NAV.

The Funds disclose the fair market value of their investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs) and (2) the Funds’ own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
•Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
•Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2021 for each Fund based upon the three levels defined above:

In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Rule 2a-5”), which is intended to address valuation practices and the role of a fund’s board with respect to the fair value of the investments of a registered investment company or business development company. Rule 2a-5, among other things, establishes an updated regulatory framework for registered investment company valuation practices. The Funds will not be required to comply with Rule 2a-5 until September 2022.

Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The Funds’ assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the valuation date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The Funds’ income earned and expense incurred in foreign denominated currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of such activity.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations that result from changes in the market prices of investments held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gain (loss) 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, realized currency gains or losses, including foreign exchange contracts, between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference in the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies reported on the Statements of Operations arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and assets and liabilities (other than investments) denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.
Taxes and Distributions
Each of the Funds intends to qualify (or continue to qualify) as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2021 (the Funds’ tax year end), management of the Funds has reviewed the open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. Management is also not aware of any tax change in the next 12 months. On an ongoing basis, management will monitor the tax positions taken to determine if adjustment to conclusions are necessary based on factors including but not limited to further implementation on guidance expected from FASB and positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change based upon going analysis of tax law, regulation, and interpretations thereof.
Each Fund intends to pay income dividends monthly from its net investment income. Capital gains, if any, may be paid at least annually. The amount of any distribution will vary, and there is no guarantee the Fund will pay either income dividends or capital gain distributions. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to improve a Fund’s tracking of its Target Index or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
3.Investment Transactions and Related Income
Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income received or paid from the Fund, net of any applicable foreign withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for dividends of foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. For those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Funds are presented separately on the Statements of Operations as ‘‘Special Dividends’’ and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

4.Investment Management Fees
The Adviser acts as the investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to investment advisory agreements with the Trust (the “Advisory Agreements”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser has the overall responsibility for the Funds’ investment program.
Vident Investment Advisory, LLC (“Vident” or “Sub Adviser”) acts as the sub-adviser to all Funds in the Trust pursuant to the sub-advisory agreement with the Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Effective May 1, 2020, Vident replaced AGF Investments, LLC as the Sub-adviser to O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares Europe Quality Dividend ETF.
The Sub-Adviser is responsible for trading portfolio securities and other investment instruments on behalf of the Funds, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, as instructed by the Adviser or in connection with any rebalancing or reconstitution of a Target Index, subject to the overall supervision and oversight of the Adviser and the Trustees. The Adviser oversees the Sub-Adviser for compliance with the Funds’ investment objective, policies, strategies and restrictions. The Board of Trustees supervises and oversees the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, establishes policies that they must follow in their management activities, and oversees the hiring and termination of sub-advisers recommended by the Adviser.
Under the Advisory Agreements, the Funds pay the Adviser a unitary management fee for its services payable on a monthly basis at the annual rate listed in the table below, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.

Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser out of the management fee it receives from the Funds.
Under the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser bears all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Funds, except for (i) the management fee, (ii) payments under the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 plan, (iii) brokerage expenses (including any costs incidental to transactions in portfolio securities or instruments), (iv) acquired fund fees and expenses, (v) taxes, (vi) interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short and overdraft charges), (vii) litigation expenses (including litigation to which the Trust or a Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Trustees and officers with respect thereto) and (viii) other extraordinary or non-routine expenses.
On June 28, 2018, the O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF the (‘‘OUSA Prior Fund’’), and O’Shares Europe Quality Dividend ETF the (‘‘OEUR Prior Fund’’) series of FQF Trust (each, a ‘‘Prior Fund’’ and collectively, the ‘‘Prior Funds’’) were reorganized into corresponding newly created, identically named exchange traded funds of the Trust (each, a ‘‘New Fund’’) via a tax-free reorganization. At the time of the reorganization, each New Fund had the same name, ticker symbol and underlying index as the corresponding Prior Fund, was managed in accordance with the same investment objective, and was subject to substantially the same investment strategies, policies, and risks as the corresponding Prior Fund. Also, at the time of the reorganization, each New Fund was operated in a substantially similar manner as the corresponding Prior Fund, except that each New Fund was advised by the Adviser and sub-advised by the Prior Funds’ adviser, AGF Investments, LLC. The same portfolio managers who managed the Prior Funds continued to manage the New Funds at the time of the reorganization. All of the assets and liabilities of each Prior Fund were transferred to the corresponding New Fund in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of the corresponding New Fund. Each New Fund has adopted the financial performance and operating history of the corresponding Prior Fund. The information for the periods prior to June 28, 2018 is that of the Prior Funds.

OSI ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
Prior to June 28, 2018, when the following Funds became part of the Trust in connection with the tax-free reorganizations, the unitary management fee was 0.48% for the OUSA Prior Fund and was 0.58% for the OEUR Prior Fund.
Prior to June 28, 2018, AGF Investments, LLC, the former investment adviser of the Prior Funds bore all of the costs of the Prior Funds, except for the advisory fee, distribution fees (including any payments under the Funds’ 12b-1 plan), brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short), compensation and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including Independent Trustee counsel fees), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including litigation to which the Trust or the Funds may be a party and indemnification of the Trustees and officers with respect thereto).
AGF Investments, LLC had agreed to waive its fees and reimburse expenses for each Prior Fund until at least November 1, 2018 so that the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursement for each Fund (except for distribution fees (including payments under a Rule 12b-1 plan), brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including litigation to which the Trust or a Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Trustees and officers with respect thereto)) were limited to the ratios below:

5.Administration, Fund Accounting and Transfer Agency Fees
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (‘‘Administrator’’) acts as administrator, fund accounting agent and transfer agent to the Funds pursuant to an administration agreement. The Administrator provides the Funds with all required general administrative services, including, without limitation, office space, equipment, and personnel; clerical and general back office services; bookkeeping, internal accounting, and secretarial services; the determination of NAVs; and the preparation and filing of all reports, registration statements, proxy statements, and all other materials required to be filed or furnished by the Funds under federal and state securities laws.
6.Custodian Fees
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as custodian to the Funds. The custodian holds cash, securities and other assets of the Funds as required by the 1940 Act. As compensation for the services, the Custodian is entitled to fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
7.Distribution, Service Plan and Fund Officers
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the ‘‘Distributor’’) serves as the Funds’ Distributor. The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement (“Distribution Agreement”), under which the Distributor, as agent, receives orders from Authorized Participants to create and redeem shares in Creation Unit Aggregations and transmits such orders to the Trust’s custodian and transfer agent. The Trust has adopted a distribution and service plan (‘‘Plan’’) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year to finance any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Creation Units of the Funds or the provision of investor services, including but not limited to: (i) marketing and promotional services, including advertising; (ii) facilitating communications with beneficial owners of shares of the Funds; (iii) wholesaling services; and (iv) such other services and obligations as may be set forth in the Distribution Agreement with the Distributor.
19
OSI ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
No distribution or service fees are currently paid by any Funds and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees were charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in a Fund and may cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.
Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC (‘‘FFOS’’), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer, AML Compliance Officer, and Principal Financial Officer and Treasurer. FFOS does not have a role in determining the investment policies of the Trust or Funds, or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Trust or a Fund.
8.Issuance and Redemption of Fund Shares
The Funds are exchange-traded funds or ETFs. Individual Fund shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer and investors may pay a commission to such broker-dealers in connection with their purchase or sale. The price of Fund shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). The Funds will only issue or redeem shares aggregated into blocks of 50,000 shares or multiples thereof (‘‘Creation Units’’) to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ Distributor. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a ‘‘Participating Party,’’ (i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process of the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC) (‘‘Clearing Process’’), or (2) a participant of DTC (‘‘DTC Participant’’), and, in each case, must have executed an agreement (‘‘Participation Agreement’’) with the distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units. The Funds will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a basket of assets that the Funds specify each day.
Shares are listed on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and are publicly traded. If a shareholder buys or sells Fund shares on the secondary market, a shareholder will pay or receive the market price, which may be higher or lower than NAV. Authorized participant transaction will be priced at NAV if the authorized participant purchases or redeems Fund shares in Creation Units.
Authorized Participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Funds’ administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash.

11.Principal Risks
The Funds are subject to the principal investment risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”), trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. Some principal risks apply to all Funds while others are specific to the investment strategy of certain Funds. Each Fund may be subject to other principal risks in addition to these identified principal risks. This section discusses certain principal risks encountered by the Funds.
Authorized Participants Concentration Risk. Each Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may purchase and redeem Fund shares directly from the Funds (“Authorized Participants”). To the extent they cannot or are otherwise unwilling to engage in creation and redemption transactions with the Funds and no other Authorized Participant steps in, shares of the Funds may trade like closed-end fund shares at a significant discount to NAV and may face trading halts and/or delisting from the Exchange. This risk may be more pronounced in volatile markets, potentially where there are significant redemptions in ETFs generally.
Concentration Risk. To the extent that each Fund’s Target Index is concentrated in a particular industry or group of industries, each Fund is also expected to be concentrated in that industry or group of industries which may subject each Fund to a greater loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting that industry or group of industries.
COVID-19 Risk. The value of the securities in which each Fund invests may be affected by certain events or developments that adversely interrupt the global supply chain such as pandemics. The outbreak of COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken worldwide 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. 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. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and any other outbreak of an infectious disease or other serious public health concern could have, a significant negative impact on economic and market conditions and could trigger a prolonged period of global economic slowdown. To the extent each Fund may overweight its investments in certain countries, companies, industries or market sectors, such positions will increase each Fund’s exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those countries, companies, industries or sectors.
21
OSI ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
Depositary Receipts Risk. The risks of investments in depositary receipts are substantially similar to Foreign Investment Risks. In addition, depositary receipts may not track the price of the underlying foreign securities, and their value may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading.
Europe Risk. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or European Union (the ‘‘E.U.’’) regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an E.U. member country on its sovereign debt, and/or an economic recession in an E.U. member country may have a significant adverse effect on the securities of E.U. issuers. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adversity due to concerns about economic downturns, or rising government debt levels, in several European countries. These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe. The risk of investing in Europe may be heightened due to the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from membership in the E.U. In addition, if one or more other countries were to exit the E.U. or abandon the use of the euro as a currency, the value of investments tied to those countries or the euro could decline significantly and unpredictably. Any such event could have a material adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds’ portfolios.
Foreign Investment Risk. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Exposures to foreign securities entail special risks, including due to: differences in information available about foreign issuers; differences in investor protection standards in other jurisdictions; capital controls risks, including the risk of a foreign jurisdiction imposing restrictions on the ability to repatriate or transfer currency or other assets; political, diplomatic and economic risks; regulatory risks; and foreign market and trading risks, including the costs of trading and risks of settlement in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, a Fund’s investments in securities denominated in other currencies could decline due to changes in local currency relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect a Fund’s returns.
Index-Related Risk. Each Fund is managed with an investment strategy that attempts to track the performance of the Target Index. As a result, each Fund expects to hold constituent securities of the Target Index regardless of their current or projected performance. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause a Fund’s return to be lower than if the Funds employed an active strategy.
There is no assurance that the Index Provider will compile each Target Index accurately, or that each Target Index will be determined, composed or calculated accurately. While the Index Provider provides descriptions of what each Target Index is designed to achieve, the Index Provider does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of data in respect of its indices, and does not guarantee that each Target Index will be in line with its described index methodology. Any gains, losses or costs to a Fund that are caused by Index Provider errors will therefore be borne by that Fund and its shareholders. To the extent a Target Index is new it will have a limited performance history. The foregoing risks may be greater for a new index.
Internet Companies Risk. Companies involved with the internet, technology and e-commerce are exposed to risks associated with rapid advances in technology, obsolescence of current products and services, the finite life of patents and the constant threat of global competition and substitutes. In addition to these risks, these companies may be adversely impacted by market and economic cyclicality and changing industry standards.
Market Events Risk. The market values of each Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of each Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Turbulence in the financial markets and reduced liquidity may negatively affect issuers, which could have an adverse effect on each Fund. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve and/or other government actors, such as increasing interest rates, could cause increased volatility in financial markets and disruption in the creation/redemption process of each Fund, which could have a negative impact on the Funds.
Large Capitalization Securities Risk. The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
22

Small and Mid-Capitalization Securities Risk. The securities of small and mid-capitalization companies are often more volatile and less liquid than the securities of larger companies and may be more affected than other types of securities during market downturns. Compared to larger companies, small and mid-capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources.
Multifactor Risk. A Fund’s Target Index, and thus the corresponding Fund, seeks to achieve specific factor exposures identified in the Fund’s principal investment strategies. There can be no assurance that targeting exposure to such factors will enhance a Fund’s performance over time and targeting exposure to certain factors may detract from performance in some market environments. There is no guarantee the Index Provider’s methodology will be successful in creating an index that achieves the specific factor exposures identified above.
Non-Diversification Risk. The O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act, which means that the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly invested in certain issuers.
Sampling Risk. To the extent a Fund uses a representative sampling approach, it will hold a smaller number of securities than are in its Target Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting a security held by a Fund could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if a Fund held all of the securities in its Target Index. Conversely, a positive development relating to a security in a Fund’s Target Index that is not held by a Fund could cause the Fund to underperform the Target Index. To the extent the assets in a Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.
Sector Risk. To the extent a Target Index, and thereby a Fund, emphasizes, from time to time, investments in a particular sector, the Funds are subject to a greater degree to the risks particular to that sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect all the securities in a single sector. If a Fund invests in a few sectors, it may have increased exposure to the price movements of those sectors.
The Funds’ prospectus contains additional information regarding the principal risks associated with an investment in a Fund.
12.Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. The Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.
13.Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
On January 4, 2022, O’Shares Investment Advisers, LLC announced that it has agreed to a strategic transaction with ALPS Advisors, Inc (“ALPS”), a subsidiary of SS&C Technologies, Inc. (the “Transaction”). The Transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals, as well as other conditions to closing. In connection with this announcement, the Funds will be reorganized into newly created ETFs formed by ALPS, subject to the approval of the Boards of Trustees of OSI ETF Trust and ALPS ETF Trust and of the Funds’ shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting to be announced.
Management has determined that there are no other material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs for purchasing and selling shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, other operational and investment related expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
Actual Expenses
The actual expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period ended December 31, 2021.
The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading ‘‘Expenses Paid During the Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The hypothetical expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period ended December 31, 2021.
The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as brokerage charges. Therefore, the second line for each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

OSI ETF Trust
Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
December 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
At the November 16, 2021 meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of OSI ETF Trust (the “Trust”), the Board, including those Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”) who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) of the Trust, approved (i) the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the “Investment Advisory Agreements”) between O’Shares Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the O’Shares U.S. Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF, O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF, O’Shares U.S. Large Cap Quality Growth ETF, O’Shares U.S. Small Cap Quality Growth ETF, O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares Europe Quality Dividend ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), and (ii) the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and Vident Investment Advisory, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), on behalf of the Funds (the Investment Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements”). Under the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Adviser is obligated to pay all of the ordinary operating expenses of each Fund, except for certain excluded items (the “Unified Fee”).
In considering approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with independent counsel, who provided assistance and advice. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated the terms of the Advisory Agreements, reviewed the information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser in connection with the consideration of approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements, and reviewed the duties and responsibilities of the Trustees in evaluating and approving the Advisory Agreements.
In considering the approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the materials provided for the Meeting by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including: (i) copies of the Investment Advisory Agreements; (ii) a copy of the Sub-Advisory Agreement; (iii) information describing the nature, extent and quality of the services that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provide and expect to provide to each Fund, and the fees that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser charge for such services; (iv) information concerning the financial condition, businesses, operations and compliance programs of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser; (v) a copy of the current Form ADV for each of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser; and (vi) a memorandum on the responsibilities of trustees in considering investment advisory arrangements under the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and considered information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser throughout the year at prior Board meetings.
In addition, the Board considered data compiled by the Adviser from an unaffiliated third party database comparing the Unified Fee of each Fund with the net expense ratios (i.e., after fee waivers and reimbursements) of other U.S.-listed ETFs having similar investment objectives and strategies (each a “Peer Group”). The Board discussed the criteria used by the Adviser for selecting the Peer Group. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the data was useful for the purpose of reviewing the Advisory Agreements.
During their review of this information, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, focused on and analyzed the factors that they deemed relevant. In particular, the Board considered and reviewed the following with respect to each Fund:
(a) The nature, extent and quality of services provided and to be provided to each Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser; Personnel and operations of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser; Possible conflicts of interest. The Board reviewed the services that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provide and expect to provide to each Fund. In connection with the advisory services provided and to be provided to each Fund, the Board noted the Adviser’s responsibilities as each Fund’s investment adviser, including: overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of each Fund’s securities portfolio; ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board, for oversight of the Sub-Adviser as sub-adviser to the Funds; responsibility for daily monitoring of tracking error and quarterly reporting to the Board; responsibility for general oversight of compliance by each Fund and the Sub-Adviser with relevant law and compliance policies and procedures; and implementation of Board directives as they relate to each Fund.

The Board also noted the responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser has as the Funds’ sub-adviser, including: implementation of the investment management program of the Funds; management of the day-to-day investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Funds; determining daily baskets of deposit securities and cash components; executing portfolio security trades for purchases and redemptions of Fund shares conducted on a cash-in-lieu basis, as well as during index rebalances and reconstitutions; and oversight of general Fund portfolio compliance with relevant law and the Trust’s compliance policies and procedures.
The Board considered the experience and background of the personnel dedicated by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to the management of the Funds, and the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s procedures to manage potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the financial strength and resources of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s parent organizations. Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Board concluded that each Fund was likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of these services, as well as the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s ability to render such services based on their experience, personnel, operations and resources.
(b) Comparison of services provided and fees charged by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and other investment advisers to similar clients, and the cost of the services provided. The Board compared both the services rendered and the fees paid pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreements for the Funds to the contractual advisory fees of other registered investment advisers providing services to similar ETFs in each Fund’s Peer Group. In particular, the Board compared each Fund’s Unified Fee to the net expense ratios of the other ETFs in the Peer Group.
The Board considered that the sub-advisory fees paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement were the product of arms-length negotiations between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and that the sub-advisory fees were paid entirely by the Adviser from the Unified Fee. The Board also considered information about the fee rates charged to other comparable accounts and clients (including other ETFs) that are managed by the Sub-Adviser.
The Board considered the appropriateness of the Unified Fee of each Fund compared to the net expense ratios of the ETFs in the Peer Group. The Board noted that (i) the Unified Fee of the O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF, O’Shares U.S. Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares U.S. Large Cap Quality Growth ETF were above the median and average, but below the maximum, net expense ratio of the other ETFs in the respective Peer Group; (ii) the Unified Fee of the O’Shares U.S. Small Cap Quality Growth ETF was above the median, but equivalent to the average and below the maximum, net expense ratio of the other ETFs in its Peer Group; and (iii) the Unified Fee of the O’Shares Europe Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF were below the median, average and maximum net expense ratio of the other ETFs in the respective Peer Group.
The Board received information regarding the costs and the profitability of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser in connection with serving as adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, to the Funds. The Board noted the Adviser’s assumption of the contractual obligation to limit each Fund’s ordinary operating expenses through the Unified Fee, which cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The Board also considered the Adviser’s representation that it would continue to monitor the Funds’ expense ratios as compared to those of their peer groups and seek to ensure that the Funds remain competitive.
After (i) comparing each Fund’s Unified Fee with the net expense ratios of the other ETFs in the Peer Group, (ii) the nature, extent and quality of services provided and to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and the costs incurred by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser in rendering those services, and (iii) the Adviser absorbing each Fund’s ordinary operating expenses under the Unified Fee, the Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds were fair and reasonable.
(c) The Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s profitability and the extent to which economies of scale were realized as each Fund grew and whether fee levels reflect such economies of scale; “Fall-out” benefits. The Board discussed with the representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser the advisers’ profitability with respect to the Funds. The Board acknowledged the Adviser’s contractual obligation to limit each Fund’s expenses through the Unified Fee, and the effect of such obligation on the Adviser’s profitability based on information presented to the Board.
26
The Board reviewed and considered the extent to which the Adviser may realize economies of scale, if any, as each Fund grows larger and whether each Fund’s management fee structure reflects any economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. With respect to the O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF, the Board considered that each Fund would likely experience benefits from the Unified Fee at the Fund’s current asset levels because of the Adviser’s contractual requirement to bear most of the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses. The Board noted that, under the Unified Fee, it is not anticipated that the O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF and O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF will generate significant profit for the Adviser for some time. With respect to the other Funds, the Board noted that the Funds had not yet reached a size sufficient to experience economies of scale, though the Board would address economies of scale for each Fund when assets under management reached appropriate levels. The Board considered fall-out benefits received and to be received by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Funds and the Trust. The Board noted that none of the other service providers to each Fund or the Trust were affiliates of the Adviser or Sub-Adviser. The Board also noted the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s potential positive reputational benefits from the success of each Fund.
(d) Investment performance of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board discussed with the representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser the performance of the Funds, including tracking difference with respect to each Fund’s underlying index. In particular, the Board considered the investment performance of the Funds relative to their stated objectives and the success of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser in reaching such objectives. The Board also considered each Fund’s investment performance compared to: (i) its corresponding underlying index that it seeks to track, and (ii) the secondary benchmark index that each Fund uses for comparison purposes, if any. In addition, consideration was given to tracking difference data provided to the Board for the Meeting and throughout the year by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered each Fund’s investment performance compared to the Fund’s respective Peer Group.
The Board considered that each of the O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF underperformed its respective Peer Group for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and since-inception periods ended September 30, 2021. The Board also considered that the O’Shares U.S. Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF underperformed its respective Peer Group for the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods ended September 30, 2021 and outperformed its respective Peer Group for the since-inception period ended September 30, 2021. The Board also considered that the O’Shares Global Internet Giants ETF outperformed its Peer Group for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and since-inception periods ended September 30, 2021. The Board also considered that the O’Shares Europe Quality Dividend ETF underperformed its Peer Group for the 1-year, 5-year and and since-inception periods ended September 30, 2021 and outperformed its Peer Group for 3-year period ended September 30, 2021. The Board discussed with the Adviser the reasons for the relative performance compared to each Fund’s respective Peer Group. The Board received and considered information about the premium/discount history of the Funds, which illustrated the number of times that the market price of the Funds trading on the secondary market closed above or below the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Funds, and by how much, measured in basis points. The Board concluded that the performance of the Funds, including the tracking difference, was reasonable in light of the respective investment objectives and policies of the Funds.
The Board noted that because the O’Shares U.S. Large Cap Quality Growth ETF and O’Shares U.S. Small Cap Quality Growth ETF had not commenced operations, it was not possible to assess the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s investment performance with respect to those Funds. For purposes of comparison, the Board considered the performance of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser with respect to the operational series of the Trust, including tracking difference.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Unified Fees were reasonable in relation to the services provided and to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to each Fund, as well as the costs incurred and benefits gained by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser in providing such services. The Board also found the advisory fees to be reasonable in comparison to the fees charged by advisers to other comparable ETFs of similar size. As a result, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements on behalf of each Fund would be in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.

ANNUAL REPORT OF LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”), the Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). The Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, which is defined as the risk that a Fund is unable to meet investor redemption requests without significantly diluting the remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of the Liquidity Program Administrator (“LPA”), a committee comprised of senior representatives of the adviser, O’Shares Investment Advisers, LLC, and officers of the Funds, to oversee the implementation and monitoring of the Program. To assist in carrying out its responsibilities under the Program, on behalf of the Funds, a third party has been retained to perform certain functions, including providing market data and liquidity classification information.
Each of the Funds qualifies as an “In-Kind ETF” under the Liquidity Rule and the Program, which means that it meets redemptions through in-kind transfers of securities, positions and assets other than a de minimis amount of cash and publishes its portfolio holdings daily. As In-Kind ETFs, the Funds are exempt from certain Liquidity Rule requirements, including classification of portfolio holdings and the requirement to establish a highly liquid investment minimum.
Consistent with the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes provisions that require, no less frequently than annually, assessments of the Funds’ liquidity risks, including a review of specific factors set forth in the Program as applicable to each Fund. In addition, the Program includes provisions designed to comply with the Liquidity Rule’s limitation on investments in “illiquid investments” (as defined in the Liquidity Rule) to no more than 15% of a Fund’s net assets as well as provisions regarding the maintenance and monitoring of In-Kind ETF status and periodic reporting to the Funds’ Board.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on November 16, 2021, the LPA provided a written report (the “Report”) to the Board as required by the Liquidity Rule addressing the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness the Program, including any material changes to the Program for the period from October 1, 2020 (date of last Report) through September 30, 2021 (“Reporting Period”). The Report included a summary of the oversight of the Program and the system that is used to operate the Program, and a discussion of the annual assessment of each Fund’s liquidity risk, including a review, as applicable of the Funds’ investment strategies and liquidity of portfolio investments, the effects of short-term and long-term cash flows, holdings of cash and cash equivalents, the efficiency of the arbitrage function and the level of active participation by Authorized Participants and its relationship to each Fund’s liquidity, the effect of pricing/spreads and basket assets on each Fund’s liquidity, and the effect that historical redemptions and market volatility have had on the liquidity of each Fund during the Reporting Period.
The Report concluded that during the Reporting Period: (1) there were no material changes to the Program, (2) there were no significant liquidity events impacting any Fund, and (3) that it is the LPA’s assessment that the Program is adequately designed and has been effective in managing each Fund’s liquidity risk and in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Report further concluded that each Fund qualified as an In-Kind ETF during the Reporting Period and, given the intention to continue to meet redemptions only through in-kind transfers of securities, each Fund will continue to be classified as an In-Kind ETF. The Report also concluded that each Fund’s investment strategy continues to be appropriate for an open-end fund.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Additional information regarding risks of investing in each Fund, including liquidity risks presented by the Fund’s investment portfolio, is found in the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
