The Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Morningstar® US Large Cap Select IndexSM (the “Underlying Index”), which measures the performance of the 500 largest U.S. stocks by market capitalization, as determined by Morningstar, Inc. The Underlying Index consists of securities from a broad range of industries. As of October 31, 2022, the Underlying Index is represented by securities of companies in sectors including Consumer Services, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financials, Health Care, Industrials, Information Technology, Materials, Real Estate and Utilities. The components of the Underlying Index are likely to change over time and the Underlying Index and the Fund are rebalanced on a quarterly basis. To the extent that the securities in the Underlying Index are concentrated in one or more industries or groups of industries, the Fund may concentrate in such industries or groups of industries.
The Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund whose investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to invest in companies that are creating value by transforming themselves and others to meet the growing demands of climate change. Target companies are primarily those that the Adviser believes are transitioning towards more sustainable business practices, products, or services, as well as companies that are providing enabling technologies to help others transition. Target companies are generally chosen from companies included in the Morningstar® US Market Extended TR USD IndexSM, which measures the performance of US securities and targets 99.5% market capitalization coverage of the investable universe. It is a diversified broad market index, and does not incorporate sustainability criteria.
Dear Shareholder,
Our approach to the ETF business is simple: to drive long-term performance, we believe that you have to own companies and invest in the epic industry transitions that we see unfolding. That is why we launched VOTE as a better large-cap index fund, and NETZ as an active thematic fund focused on owning the companies best positioned to drive value during the climate transition.
We’ve made great progress with our ETFs since we launched in 2021. In terms of impact, we have spoken clearly with the proxy votes we’ve cast and have been completely transparent in that voting. We have also received great industry recognition this past year with two awards from With Intelligence - Newcomer ETF Firm of the Year and Thematic ETF of the Year (for NETZ).1 We’re off to a good start and we’re grateful to have you along with us on our journey.
Three Megatrends
In our view, there are three powerful and converging secular trends that will drive the prospects of companies going forward: the decarbonization of everything, the re-localization of supply chains, and moving towards true living wages for the average worker. The energy, food, and transportation industries are the critical building blocks of the global economy and the transition in those industries alone present exciting investment opportunities. All three, and the supply chain structure that supports them, are systems in various stages of transition to more sustainable models.
We believe the efficient, safe, reliable, cost-effective, and secure transitioning of these foundational global systems presents an opportunity to unlock tremendous value. The common challenge is that a hard switch from any of the old legacy systems to new more sustainable ones would bring the global economy to a halt. Successful transitioning requires running parallel systems for a period of time. While no one can be certain how long the transitions will take, we try to minimize that uncertainty by better understanding how the systems work, how new technologies will impact them, and what each company’s role is within their systems.
Our Approach
We take a deep, cross-sector, active approach that seeks to know the entire system in all its complexity, rather than one or two companies within it. This allows us to see the connections to generate alpha. Investors focused just on a single industry or relying on passive building blocks can’t possibly see the whole picture.
Furthermore, we believe in investment and engagement, not divestment. Research has shown that divesting of large public companies does little to reduce the negative impacts of their operations or improve shareholder value. Long-term problems simply can’t be solved by investors running away from the companies or boards focused on the short-term. Rather, we engage directly with companies to improve their performance and create long-term value.
The experience of our management team highlights our ability to see around the corner for the next big investment opportunity.

What’s Ahead
Another large system changing in a dynamic way is the supply chain and associated manufacturing, innovation, and transportation sector. Over the last three decades, American companies have been focused on financial efficiency above all else. A consequence of this single-minded focus is a reliance on offshoring jobs which lengthens fragile supply chains and makes companies vulnerable to disruption in many ways, hurting their profits and reducing their competitiveness. Going forward, we believe that companies focused on their supply chain will be more resilient to disruption, have more flexible pricing power, and greater product quality.
Today, U.S. companies are on record pace to reverse past offshoring and localize nearly 350,000 jobs this year2, intensifying a trend that has been ongoing for a while. Re-localization and bringing manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing jobs to the U.S. creates a 5.1x3 employment multiplier, meaning that the 350,000 localized jobs in 2022 alone could end up supporting nearly another 1.8MM.
Come Along With Us
We give you two ways to participate in the opportunities we see. Our Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF (ticker: VOTE) offers investors broad market exposure to the 500 largest US public companies at a low cost, with the opportunity for active ownership.
Our Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF (NETZ) invests in companies that will drive and benefit from the energy transition. These include companies across multiple industries that have a clear strategy to create value on their path to net-zero carbon emissions. We select companies that we perceive are on the right path to generate stronger performance and value over time.
On the following pages, you will find information related to your VOTE or NETZ investment. If you have any questions, please contact your financial advisor or Engine No. 1 directly.
Thank you for joining us.

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

NAV returns are based on the dollar value of a single share of the Fund, calculated by taking the Fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the Market value return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The NAV is typically calculated at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Market value returns are based on the closing price at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Market value performance does not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Market value and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV.
The returns in the graphs and tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends but do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, taxes, or other expenses that would be incurred by the Fund or brokerage commissions on transactions in Fund shares. Such fees, expenses and taxes reduce Fund returns. One cannot invest directly in an index.
Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.
Key risks: The Fund is not actively managed, and the investment adviser, Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC, generally does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets. The Fund may be subject to tracking error, which is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of the underlying index. Large-capitalization companies may be less able than smaller-capitalization companies to adapt to changing market conditions. The Fund can have exposure to derivative instruments. Please see the prospectus for a full list of Fund risks.
When the Fund engages in activism, such activities may not be successful; or, even if successful, the Fund’s investment may lose value. Additionally, engaging in activism may cause the Fund to incur additional expenses that a similar index fund may not experience. In addition, while Engine No. 1 may seek an active ownership approach, applicable regulatory restrictions may limit the nature and the extent of engagement in certain circumstances. Nonetheless, Engine No. 1 intends to seek opportunities where possible to employ its active ownership beliefs while being mindful of such regulatory limits. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.

NAV returns are based on the dollar value of a single share of the Fund, calculated by taking the Fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.

Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
Engine No. 1 may consider any sustainability factors as core to its investment process but its specific focus for the Fund will be on the environmental factors most relevant to long-term economic value. Engine No. 1 intends to incorporate sustainability insights and analysis to ultimately drive financial and operational performance however there is no guarantee that this strategy will be achieved, and such assessment is at Engine No. 1’s discretion. Engine No. 1 does not use ratings or rankings to exclude specific companies, but instead uses its own proprietary analysis to attempt to make better informed decisions. The Fund may forgo certain investment opportunities that do not meet Engine No. 1’s criteria.
The Fund is considered non-diversified and may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss due to adverse events that affect the Funds’ investments. The Fund may be concentrated in the securities of a single or smaller number of issuers, countries, regions, industries or sectors. Economic, political, legislative and regulatory developments or even pandemics may occur that significantly affect certain sectors. These may cause the Fund’s NAV to fluctuate more and have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance. Small and medium sized companies may be more volatile and less liquid than larger companies. Smaller-sized companies may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and lack management experience. Microcap companies may be newly formed and subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile.

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs for purchasing and selling shares (including brokerage commissions); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2022 through October 31, 2022).
Actual Expenses
The first line under each Fund in the tables below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line under each Fund in the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate your actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line of the tables for the Funds are useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Measurement
The Fund discloses the fair market value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund (observable inputs) and (2) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
● | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access. |
● | Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
● | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuations as of October 31, 2022 for the Fund based upon the three levels defined above:

Schedule of Investments (concluded) Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF |
October 31, 2022
Fair Value Measurement
The Fund discloses the fair market value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund (observable inputs) and (2) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
● | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access. |
● | Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
● | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuations as of October 31, 2022 for the Fund based upon the three levels defined above:

1. Organization
The Engine No. 1 ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust organized on October 26, 2020 and is authorized to issue multiple series or portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of two investment portfolios, Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF (the “Transform 500 ETF”) and Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF (the “Transform Climate ETF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Transform 500 ETF is a diversified management investment company and the Transform Climate ETF is a non-diversified management investment company under the 1940 Act. The Transform 500 ETF seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Morningstar® US Large Cap Select IndexSM. The Transform Climate ETF’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Transform Climate ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in companies that are creating value by transforming themselves and others to meet the growing demands of climate change. There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their respective investment objectives.
Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the Funds.
The Trust’s fiscal and tax reporting period end is October 31.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Trust, which is an investment company, follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services — Investment Companies.”
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation
The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. NAV per share is computed by dividing the net assets by the number of each Fund’s shares outstanding.
Generally, securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such exchange. Securities primarily traded in the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally are valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask price on such over-the-counter market. Futures contracts listed for trading on a futures exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are generally available are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean of the last bid and ask price. Investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at NAV.
If market quotations are not readily available, securities are priced at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s valuation guidelines. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, each Fund has designated the Adviser as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable. The Funds may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when the value of a Fund’s security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of such security) or trading in such security has been suspended or halted.
The Funds may use independent pricing services to assist in calculating the value of each Fund’s securities or other assets.

Futures Contracts
Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific asset, currency, rate or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. Stock index futures are based on investments that reflect the market value of common stock of the firms included in an underlying index. The Funds may enter into futures contracts to purchase securities indexes when the Adviser anticipates purchasing the underlying securities and believes prices will rise before the purchase will be made. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.
Futures contracts may be bought and sold on U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges. Futures contracts in the U.S. have been designed by exchanges that have been designated “contract markets” by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and must be executed through the futures commission merchant (“FCM”). Each exchange guarantees performance of the contracts as between the clearing members of the exchange, thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default. Futures contracts may also be entered into on certain exempt markets, including exempt boards of trade and electronic trading facilities, available to certain market participants. Because all transactions in the futures market are made, offset or fulfilled by an FCM through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, the Funds will incur brokerage fees when it buys or sells futures contracts.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds will be required to deliver to an account controlled by the FCM an amount of cash or cash equivalents known as “initial margin,” which is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract and is returned to the Funds upon termination of the futures contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” to and from the FCM will be made daily as the price of the instrument or index underlying the futures contract fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as “marking-to-market.”
At any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, the Funds may elect to close the position by taking an opposite position, which will operate to terminate the Fund’s existing position in the contract. This transaction, which is effected through a member of an exchange, cancels the obligation to make or take delivery of the underlying instrument or asset. Although some futures contracts by their terms require the actual delivery or acquisition of the underlying instrument or asset, some require cash settlement.
There are several risks accompanying the utilization of futures contracts. Utilization of futures by the Transform 500 ETF involves the risk of imperfect or even negative correlation to its Underlying Index if the index underlying the futures contract differs from the Underlying Index. For both Funds, there is also the risk of loss of margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy of a broker with whom the Fund has an open position in the futures contract.
Because the futures market generally imposes less burdensome margin requirements than the securities market, an increased amount of participation by speculators in the futures market could result in price fluctuations. Certain financial futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount by which the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day’s settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular type of contract, no trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. It is possible that futures contract prices could move to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and subjecting the Funds to substantial losses. In the event of adverse price movements, the Funds would be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin.
For the year ended October 31, 2022, the average monthly notional amount of open futures contracts for Transform 500 ETF was $351,146. The range of monthly notional amounts was $221,025 to $583,853. For the period ended October 31, 2022, Transform Climate ETF did not hold open futures contracts.

Securities Lending
The Funds may lend portfolio securities to certain borrowers. The borrowers provide collateral that is maintained in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. The Funds may terminate a loan at any time and obtain the return of the securities loaned. The Funds receive the value of any interest or cash or noncash distributions paid on the loaned securities. Distributions received on loaned securities in lieu of dividend payments (i.e., substitute payments) would not be considered qualified dividend income.
With respect to loans that are collateralized by cash, the borrower will be entitled to receive a fee based on the amount of cash collateral. The Funds are compensated by the difference between the amount earned on the reinvestment of cash collateral and the fee paid to the borrower. In the case of collateral other than cash, the Funds are compensated by a fee paid by the borrower equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities. Any cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of the lending Funds or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, which may include those managed by the Adviser.
The Funds may pay a portion of the interest or fees earned from securities lending to a borrower as described above, and to one or more securities lending agents approved by the Board who administer the lending program for the Funds in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board. In such capacity, the lending agent causes the delivery of loaned securities from the Funds to borrowers, arranges for the return of loaned securities to the Funds at the termination of a loan, requests deposit of collateral, monitors the daily value of the loaned securities and collateral, requests that borrowers add to the collateral when required by the loan agreements, and provides recordkeeping and accounting services necessary for the operation of the program. Securities lending involves exposure to certain risks, including operational risk (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process), “gap” risk (i.e., the risk of a mismatch between the return on cash collateral reinvestments and the fees the Funds have agreed to pay a borrower), and credit, legal, counterparty and market risk. In the event a borrower does not return the Funds’ securities as agreed, the Funds may experience losses if the proceeds received from liquidating the collateral do not at least equal the value of the loaned security at the time the collateral is liquidated plus the transaction costs incurred in purchasing replacement securities. Investing cash collateral subjects the Funds to greater market risk, including losses on the collateral and, should the Funds need to look to the collateral in the event of the borrower’s default, losses on the loan secured by that collateral.

Investment Transactions and Related Income
Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are accounted for one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of any applicable foreign withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Funds are presented separately on the Statements of Operations as “Special Dividends” and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Dividend Distributions
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Funds intend to declare and make distributions of taxable net investment income quarterly and net capital gains annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax should be required.
Organizational and Offering Costs
The Adviser has agreed to bear all organizational and offering expenses for the Funds.
3. Management and Other Agreements
Management
The Adviser, located at 710 Sansome Street, San Francisco, CA 94111, furnishes investment advisory services to the Funds pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Funds (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), subject to the supervision and direction of the Board. The Adviser is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
For its investment advisory services to the Funds, the Adviser is paid a management fee from the Funds based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, at the annual rate of 0.05% for the Transform 500 ETF and 0.75% for the Transform Climate ETF for the period. The Adviser may from time to time voluntarily waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit total annual fund operating expenses, as may be specified in a separate letter of agreement.
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust (entered into on behalf of the Funds), the Adviser is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes); (ii) expenses of the Funds incurred with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting and/or disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions; (iii) expenses incurred in connection with any distribution plan adopted by the Trust in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, including distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to the Adviser hereunder; (v) litigation expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel retained by or on behalf of the Trust or any Fund) and any fees, costs or expenses payable by the Trust or any Fund pursuant to indemnification obligations to which the Trust or such Fund may be subject (pursuant to contract or otherwise); and (vi) any extraordinary expenses, as determined by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

(continued) October 31, 2022 |
Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC (d/b/a ACA Group), Three Canal Plaza, Suite 100, Portland, Maine 04101, provides the Trust with a Chief Compliance Officer and Principal Financial Officer.
Legal Counsel
Ropes & Gray, located at 800 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02199 serves as legal counsel to the Trust and the Funds.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Cohen & Company, Ltd. serves as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the annual financial statements of the Funds.
Board of Trustees
The Trust pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $20,000 per calendar year (paid in quarterly increments) for his or her services as a Board member to the Trust, together with out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with the Board’s policy on travel and other business expenses relating to attendance at meetings. The Chair of the Audit Committee and Nominating Committee are each paid an additional annual retainer of $5,000 per calendar year (paid in quarterly increments). These retainers are paid by the Adviser from the management fees it receives from the Funds.
4. Creation and Redemption Transactions
Each Fund issues and redeems shares (“Shares”) at NAV only in aggregations of a specified number of Shares (each a “Creation Unit”). Each Fund may issue and redeem Creation Units of its Shares in exchange for a designated basket of portfolio investments (including any portion of such investments for which cash may be substituted) (“Deposit Instruments”), together with the deposit of a specified cash payment (“Cash Component”). Shares of each Fund will be listed and trade on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange” or “Cboe BZX”), a national securities exchange. Shares of each Fund are traded in the secondary market and elsewhere at market values that may be at, above or below each Fund’s NAV. Shares are redeemable only in Creation Units by authorized participants that have entered into agreements with the Distributor (“Authorized Participants”), and, generally, in exchange for securities in kind and or a cash amount. Creation Units typically are large blocks of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof. In the event of liquidation of a Fund, the Trust may lower the number of shares in a Creation Unit.
Shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Instruments, subject to various conditions, including a requirement that the Authorized Participant maintain with the Trust a cash deposit marked to the market value of the omitted Deposit Instruments. The Trust may use such cash deposit at any time to purchase Deposit Instruments. Transaction fees and other costs associated with creations or redemptions that include cash may be higher than the transaction fees and other costs associated with in-kind creations or redemptions. In all cases, conditions with respect to creations and redemptions of Shares and fees will be limited in accordance with the requirements of SEC rules and regulations applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities.
5. Investment Transactions
The cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding in-kind subscriptions and redemptions and short-term investments) for the year/period ended October 31, 2022 were as follows:
Fund | Purchases | Sales | ||||||
Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF | $ | 12,661,248 | $ | 11,478,264 | ||||
Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF | $ | 201,315,200 | $ | 186,244,796 |
For the year/period ended October 31, 2022, the cost of in-kind subscriptions and the proceeds from in-kind redemptions were as follows:

6. Federal Income Tax
Each Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, each Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax position is required. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. Management of the Funds are required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that the Funds do not have any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require a provision for income tax. Accordingly, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties for the year/period ended October 31, 2022.
At October 31, 2022, the cost of investments and derivatives and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes was as follows:
Gross Unrealized |
Gross Unrealized |
Net Unrealized Appreciation |
||||||||||||||
Fund | Cost | Appreciation | Depreciation | (Depreciation) | ||||||||||||
Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF | $ | 405,772,026 | $ | 15,691,390 | $ | (64,368,216 | ) | $ | (48,676,826 | ) | ||||||
Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF | $ | 84,903,183 | $ | 4,441,493 | $ | (3,285,706 | ) | $ | 1,155,787 |
The differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales for tax purposes.
At October 31, 2022, the components of distributable earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Fund | Undistributed Income |
Undistributed Long-term Capital Gains |
Accumulated Capital Gains/ (Losses) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
Total Earnings (Losses) |
|||||||||||||||
Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF | $ | 561,825 | $ | - | $ | (4,289,411 | ) | $ | (48,676,826 | ) | $ | (52,404,412 | ) | |||||||

At October 31, 2022, the effect of permanent book/tax reclassifications primarily related to in-kind transactions resulted in increase/ (decrease) to the components of net assets as follows:
Fund |
Total Earnings |
Paid-in Capital |
||||||

The tax character of distributions paid during the years/periods indicated was as follows:

Period Ended October 31, 2021 |

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

7. Related Parties
At October 31, 2022, certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers or employees of the Adviser or affiliated with the Distributor.
8. Indemnification Obligations
In the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Trust organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. The Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.
9. Investment Risks
Principal Investment Risks: Shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to certain risks, including those noted below and in the Funds’ prospectuses, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective.
Active Management Risk. The Transform Climate ETF is actively managed, which means that investment decisions are made based on the Adviser’s investment views. There is no guarantee that the investment views will produce the desired results or expected returns, which may cause the Fund to fail to meet its investment objective or to underperform its benchmark index or funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. Furthermore, active trading that can accompany active management may result in high portfolio turnover, which may have a negative impact on performance. Active trading may result in higher brokerage costs or mark-up charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund. Active trading may also result in adverse tax consequences.
Concentration Risk. The Funds may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Funds’ investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Funds’ investments are concentrated in the securities and/or other assets of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
Industrials Sector Risk. The value of securities issued by companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by supply and demand changes related to their specific products or services and industrials sector products in general. The products of manufacturing companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction. Global events, trade disputes and changes in government regulations, economic conditions and exchange rates may adversely affect the performance of companies in the industrials sector. Companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by liability for environmental damage and product liability claims. The industrials sector may also be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced by unpredictable factors. Companies in the industrials sector, particularly aerospace and defense companies, may also be adversely affected by government spending policies because companies in this sector tend to rely to a significant extent on government demand for their products and services.
Infectious Illness Risk. An outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness, COVID-19, caused by a novel coronavirus has resulted in travel restrictions, disruption of healthcare systems, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, layoffs, ratings downgrades, defaults and other significant economic impacts. Certain markets have experienced temporary closures, extreme volatility, severe losses, reduced liquidity and increased trading costs. These events will have an impact on the Funds and their investments and could impact each Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities or cause elevated tracking error and increased premiums or discounts to each Fund’s NAV. Other infectious illness outbreaks in the future may result in similar impacts.
31
Notes to Financial Statements
(concluded) October 31, 2022 |
Technology Sector Risk. Technology companies, including information technology companies, may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. They are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by the loss or impairment of those rights. Companies in the technology sector are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.
The Funds’ prospectuses contain additional information regarding the risks associated with an investment in a Fund.
10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” The ASU clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring the fair value. The amendments also require additional disclosures related to equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the implications of this guidance to future financial statements.
11. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no material events that would require recognition of disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

To the Shareholders of Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF and Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF and Board of Trustees of Engine No. 1 ETF Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF and Engine No. 1 Transform Climate ETF (the “Funds”), each a series of Engine No. 1 ETF Trust, as of October 31, 2022, the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated below (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2022, the results of their operations, the changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated below in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Fund Name | Statements of Operations | Statements of Changes in Net Assets | Financial Highlights | |||
Engine No. 1 Transform 500 ETF | For the year ended October 31, 2022 | For the year ended October 31, 2022 and for the period from June 22, 2021 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2021 | ||||
Engine No.1 Transform Climate ETF | For the period from February 2, 2022 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2022 |
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. 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 Funds 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 audits 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.
Our audits 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 and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2021.

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, Fund Management at Engine No. 1 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 June 10, 2022, 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 June 22, 2021 through April 30, 2022 (“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.
