Before investing you should carefully consider each Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is available in each Fund’s prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained by visiting the Funds’ website at www.qraftaietf.com. Please read a Fund’s prospectus carefully before you invest.
There are risks involved with investing, including possible loss of principal, and there is no guarantee each Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each Fund is classified as a non-diversified investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and may invest more of its assets in securities of a single issuer, which may have an adverse effect on a Fund’s performance. Concentration in a particular industry or sector will subject a Fund to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or sector.
Individual shares of each Fund may be purchased or sold in the secondary market throughout the regular trading day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) through a brokerage account. However, shares are not individually redeemable directly from each Fund. Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large blocks of shares (“Creation Units”).

Note 1 – Organization
Exchange Listed Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on April 4, 2012 as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company. The Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The Trust has registered its Shares in multiple separate series. The financial statements presented herein relate to the funds listed below and are individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”:
QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. High Dividend ETF |
QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF |
QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF |
QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF |
Each Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Unlike index ETFs, actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a specified index. Instead, actively managed ETFs use an active investment strategy in seeking to meet their investment objectives. Actively managed ETFs are required to publish their portfolio holdings on a daily basis. The availability of this information, which is used by, among others, large institutional investors when deciding to purchase or redeem Creation Units of the ETF, is designed to ensure that shares of the ETF do not trade at a material premium or discount in relation to NAV per share.
The AI-Enhanced U.S. High Dividend ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amounts of any borrowings for investment purposes, in dividend paying securities of U.S. listed companies. Each of the AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF, AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF and AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amounts of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of U.S. listed large capitalization companies (as such term is defined in each Fund’s prospectus).
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Trust is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value each Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of the securities.
(a) Valuation of Investments
Each Fund’s investments are valued using procedures approved by the Board and are generally valued using market valuations (Market Approach). A market valuation generally means a valuation (i) obtained from an exchange, a pricing service, or a major market maker (or dealer) or (ii) based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by
21
EXCHANGE LISTED FUNDS TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2021 (Unaudited) |
an exchange, a pricing service, or a major market maker (or dealer). A price obtained from a pricing service based on such pricing service’s valuation matrix may be considered a market valuation. Any assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars at the current market rates on the date of valuation as quoted by one or more sources.
In the event that current market valuations are not readily available or such valuations do not reflect current fair market value, the Trust’s procedures require the Trust’s Valuation Committee, in accordance with the Trust’s Board-approved valuation guidelines, to determine a security’s fair value. In determining such value, the Valuation Committee may consider, among other things, (i) price comparisons among multiple sources, (ii) a review of corporate actions and news events, and (iii) a review of relevant financial indicators (e.g., movement in interest rates or market indices). Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security. With respect to securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges, the value of each Fund’s portfolio securities may change on days when the investors will not be able to purchase or sell their Shares.
Each Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of each Fund (observable inputs) and (2) each 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
• 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 each 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.
Pursuant to the valuation procedures noted previously, equity securities and short-term investments are generally categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (unless there is a fair valuation event, in which case affected securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3).
The following is a summary of the valuations as of October 31, 2021 for each Fund based upon the three levels defined above:

(a) See Schedule of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
(b) Investment Transactions and Related Income
For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. However, for daily NAV determination, portfolio securities transactions are reflected no later than in the first calculation on the first business day following trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount based on effective yield. 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 Income on the Statements of Operations is shown net of any foreign taxes withheld on income from foreign securities, which are provided for in accordance with each Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations.
(c) Foreign Currency Transactions
The accounting records of the Trust are maintained in U.S. dollars. Financial instruments and other assets and liabilities of the Trust denominated in a foreign currency, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of financial instruments, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The Trust does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from those resulting from changes in values to financial instruments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from transactions in financial instruments and foreign currencies, currency exchange fluctuations between the trade and settlement date of such transactions, and the difference between the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including financial instruments, resulting from changes in currency exchange rates. Each Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received, capital gains on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions (a portion of which may be reclaimable). All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which each Fund invests.
(d) Federal Income Tax
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required as long as each Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company.
Management of each Fund has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., greater than 50%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not
23
EXCHANGE LISTED FUNDS TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2021 (Unaudited) |
recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in an increase in a liability for taxes payable (or a reduction of a tax refund receivable), including the recognition of any related interest and penalties as an operating expense. In general, tax positions taken in previous tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities (generally three years for federal income tax purposes). The determination has been made that there are not any uncertain tax positions that would require each Fund to record a tax liability and, therefore, there is no impact to each Fund’s financial statements. Each Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. As of October 31, 2021, no Fund had any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.
(e) Distributions to Shareholders
Each Fund pays out dividends from its net investment income at least quarterly and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to investors at least annually. Each Fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis for such Fund to comply with the distributions requirement of the Code, in all events in a manner consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act.
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital and distribution reclassifications), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and straddles) do not require a reclassification.
Note 3 – Transactions with Affiliates and Other Servicing Agreements
(a) Investment Advisory Agreement
Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Trust, including each Fund, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement entered into by the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of each Fund (“Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to each Fund. The Adviser also arranges for transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution related services necessary for each Fund to operate. The Adviser administers each Fund’s business affairs, provides office facilities and equipment and certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services, and provides its officers and employees to serve as officers or Trustees of the Trust.
For the services it provides to each Fund, the Adviser receives a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of average daily net assets of each Fund.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of each Fund except for the advisory fee, interest, taxes, 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, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Excluded Expenses”).
QRAFT Technologies, Inc. (“QRAFT”) is the Funds’ sponsor. The Adviser has entered into an agreement with QRAFT whereby QRAFT assumes the obligation of the Adviser to pay all expenses of the Funds, except Excluded Expenses and, to the extent applicable, pay the Adviser’s minimum fee under the arrangement. Qraft will also provide marketing support for the Funds including, but not limited to, distributing each Fund’s materials and providing the Funds with access to and the use of Qraft’s other marketing capabilities, including communications through print and electronic media. For its services, Qraft is entitled to a fee from the Adviser, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Qraft does not make investment decisions, provide investment advice, or otherwise act in the capacity of an investment adviser to the Funds.
24
EXCHANGE LISTED FUNDS TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2021 (Unaudited) |
An Interested Trustee and certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser and receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as officers and/or Trustee.
(b) Distribution Arrangement
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, is the principal underwriter and distributor of each Fund’s Shares. The Distributor does not maintain any secondary market in any Fund’s Shares.
The Trust has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan (the “Distribution and Service Plan”) pursuant to which payments of up to a maximum of 0.25% of average daily net assets may be made to compensate or reimburse financial intermediaries for activities principally intended to result in the sale of each Fund’s Shares. In accordance with the Distribution and Service Plan, the Distributor may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries and dealers relating to distribution and/or marketing services with respect to the Trust.
Currently, no payments are made under the Distribution and Service Plan. Such payments may only be made after approval by the Board. The Adviser and its affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Trust.
An officer of the Trust is also an employee of an affiliate of the Distributor and receives no compensation from the Trust for serving as an officer.
(c) Other Servicing Agreements
The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) serves as each Fund’s fund accountant, transfer agent, custodian and administrator.

Note 5 – Capital Share Transactions
Fund Shares are listed and traded on the Exchange on each day that the Exchange is open for business (“Business Day”). Each Fund’s Shares may only be purchased and sold on the Exchange through a broker-dealer. Because each Fund’s Shares trade at market prices rather than at their NAV, Shares may trade at a price equal to the NAV, greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
Each Fund offers and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares (“Creation Unit”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Fund Shares may only be purchased or redeemed directly from each Fund by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant
25
EXCHANGE LISTED FUNDS TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2021 (Unaudited) |
is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Creation Units are available for purchase and redemption on each Business Day and are offered and redeemed on an in-kind basis, together with the specified cash amount, or for an all cash amount.
To the extent contemplated by a participant agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed by the Distributor, on behalf of each Fund, by the time as set forth in a participant agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the market value as set forth in the Participant Agreement. A participant agreement may permit each Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of each Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral.
Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the Shares directly from each Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker, which will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee may be imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units, and investors will be required to pay a creation transaction fee regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction. Each Fund may adjust the creation transaction fee from time to time based upon actual experience. In addition, a variable fee may be imposed for cash purchases, non-standard orders, or partial cash purchases of Creation Units. The variable fee is primarily designed to cover non-standard charges, e.g., brokerage, taxes, foreign exchange, execution, market impact, and other costs and expenses, related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction. Each Fund may adjust the non-standard charge from time to time based upon actual experience. Investors who use the services of an Authorized Participant, broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services which may include an amount for the creation transaction fee and non-standard charges. Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the deposit securities to the account of the Trust. The Adviser may retain all or a portion of the transaction fee to the extent the Adviser bears the expenses that otherwise would be borne by the Trust in connection with the issuance of a Creation Unit, which the transaction fee is designed to cover. The standard Creation Unit transaction fees for AI-Enhanced U.S. High Dividend ETF, AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF, AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF and AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF are $500, $1,750, $250 and $500, respectively, regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction.
A redemption transaction fee may be imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units, and Authorized Participants will be required to pay a redemption transaction fee regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction. The redemption transaction fee is the same no matter how many Creation Units are being redeemed pursuant to any one redemption request. Each Fund may adjust the redemption transaction fee from time to time based upon actual experience. In addition, a variable fee, payable to each Fund, may be imposed for cash redemptions, non-standard orders, or partial cash redemptions for each Fund. The variable fee is primarily designed to cover non-standard charges, e.g., brokerage, taxes, foreign exchange, execution, market impact, and other costs and expenses, related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction. Investors who use the services of an Authorized Participant, broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services which may include an amount for the redemption transaction fees and non-standard charges. Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting each Fund’s securities to the account of the Trust. The non-standard charges are payable to each Fund as it incurs costs in connection with the redemption of Creation Units, the receipt of each Fund’s securities and the cash redemption amount and other transactions costs. The standard redemption transaction fees for AI-Enhanced U.S. High Dividend ETF, AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF, AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF and AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF are $500, $1,750, $250 and $500, respectively, regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction.

Note 6 – Principal Risks
As with any investment, an investor could lose all or part of their investment in each Fund and each Fund’s performance could trail that of other investments. Each Fund is subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. Additional principal risks are disclosed in each Fund’s prospectus. Please refer to the relevant Fund’s prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks of investing in that Fund.
Market Risk: The market price of a security or instrument could decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the market generally and on specific securities. The market value of a security may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry.
Models and Data Risk: Each Fund relies heavily on a proprietary artificial intelligence selection model as well as data and information supplied by third parties that are utilized by such model. To the extent the model does not perform as designed or as intended, each Fund’s strategy may not be successfully implemented, and each Fund may lose value. If the model or data are incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities that would have been excluded or included had the model or data been correct and complete.
Non-Diversification Risk: Each Fund is non-diversified, meaning that, as compared to a diversified fund, it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities issued by or representing a small number of issuers. As a result, the performance of these issuers can have a substantial impact on each Fund’s performance.
Sector Focus Risk: Each Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors. Each Fund identifies its sector weightings in its Summary of Investments and the sector exposure is expected to vary over time.

To the extent that a fund may realize future net capital gains, those gains will be offset by any of its unused capital loss carryforward. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.
As of April 30, 2021, the AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF had $291,010 of post-October capital losses which are deferred until May 1, 2021 for tax purposes. Net capital losses incurred after October 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year.
As of April 30, 2021, the AI-Enhanced U.S Large Cap ETF had $14,981 of qualified late-year ordinary losses, respectively, which are deferred until May 1, 2021 for tax purposes. Net late-year losses incurred after December 31, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year.
The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
Note 8 – Recent Market Events
The spread of COVID-19 around the world has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as its impact on the U.S. and international economies. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such developments may in turn impact the value of the Funds’ investments. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the financial performance of the Funds’ investments is not reasonably able to be approximated at this time.
Note 9 – Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End
In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined there are no subsequent events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

All ETFs have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur an advisory fee. In addition to the advisory fee, a shareholder may pay brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses), if any. It is important for you to understand the impact of these ongoing costs on your investment returns. Shareholders may incur brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of the Fund’s shares, which are not reflected in these examples.
The following examples use the annualized expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (unless otherwise noted below). The table below illustrates the Fund’s cost in two ways:
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return
This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes – NOT your Fund’s actual return – the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

REVIEW OF LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM |
October 31, 2021 (Unaudited) |
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust, on behalf of the series of the Trust covered by this shareholder report (the “Funds”), has adopted a liquidity risk management program to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk. Rule 22e-4 seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management, thereby reducing the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of its shareholders. The Trust’s liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), which adopts the liquidity risk management policies and procedures of Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC, the Trust’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), is tailored to reflect the Funds’ particular risks, but not to eliminate all adverse impacts of liquidity risk, which would be incompatible with the nature of the Funds.
The Adviser, which is the administrator of the Program, has formed a Liquidity Risk Working Group (“LRWG”) consisting of certain individuals from ETC’s portfolio management, capital markets, and legal and compliance teams. The LRWG is responsible for conducting an initial assessment of the liquidity risk of the Funds and to manage the liquidity risk of the Funds on an ongoing basis. Meetings of the LRWG are held no less than monthly.
At the March 2021 meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the Trustees received a report pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the period ended December 31, 2020. The report concluded that the Program is adequately designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk and has been effectively implemented. The report reflected that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding a Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT |
October 31, 2021 (Unaudited) |
At a meeting held on August 25, 2020 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Exchange Listed Funds Trust (the “Trust”) considered and approved an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF (the “Fund”), and Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (“ETC” or the “Adviser”) pursuant to which ETC would provide advisory services to the Fund (the “Agreement”).
Pursuant to Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Agreement must be approved by a vote of (i) the Trustees or the shareholders of the Fund and (ii) a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Agreement or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with its consideration of such approvals, the Board must request and evaluate, and the Adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. In addition, rules under the 1940 Act require an investment company to disclose in its shareholder reports the material factors and the conclusions with respect thereto that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of an investment advisory agreement.
Although the 1940 Act requires that the Agreement be approved by the in-person vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, the Meeting was held virtually through the internet in view of the health risks associated with holding an in-person meeting during the COVID-19 pandemic and possible restrictions on gatherings. The Meeting was held in reliance on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides temporary relief from the in-person voting requirements of the 1940 Act with respect to the approval of a fund’s advisory agreement in response to the challenges arising in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Consistent with these responsibilities, prior to the Meeting, the Board reviewed written materials from the Adviser and, at the Meeting, representatives from the Adviser presented additional oral and written information to help the Board evaluate the Agreement. Among other things, representatives from the Adviser provided an overview of its advisory business, including investment personnel and investment processes. During the Meeting, the Board discussed the materials it received, including a memorandum from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees on the responsibilities of Trustees in considering the approval of investment advisory agreements under the 1940 Act, considered the Adviser’s oral presentation, and deliberated on the approval of the Agreement in light of this information. Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Adviser. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel separately and without management present.
In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board took into account the presentation made and the extensive discussion during the Meeting, including the discussion the Independent Trustees had during their executive session with independent legal counsel. In particular, the Trustees took into consideration (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund; (ii) the Adviser’s expected costs of and profits to be realized from providing advisory services to the Fund, including any fall-out benefits to be enjoyed by the Adviser or its affiliates; (iii) comparative fee and expense data for the Fund; (iv) the extent to which the advisory fee for the Fund reflects economies of scale to be shared with Fund shareholders; and (v) other factors the Board deemed to be relevant.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided
In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund, the Board considered ETC’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board noted that such responsibilities would include providing investment advice to the Fund, monitoring compliance with various fund policies and procedures and applicable securities regulations, trading portfolio securities and other investment instruments on behalf of the Fund, selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, determining the daily baskets of deposit securities and cash components, executing portfolio securities trades for purchases and redemptions of fund shares, oversight of general portfolio compliance with relevant law, responsibility for quarterly reporting to the Board, and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Fund. The Board considered the qualifications, experience, and responsibilities of ETC’s investment personnel, the quality of ETC’s compliance infrastructure, and the determination of the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer that ETC has appropriate compliance policies and procedures in place. The Board noted that it had recently reviewed ETC’s registration form on Form ADV and that it had been provided with ETC’s responses to a detailed series of questions, which

October 31, 2021 (Unaudited) |
included a description of ETC’s operations, service, offerings, personnel, compliance program, risk management program, and financial condition. The Board considered ETC’s experience working with ETFs, including other series of the Trust and other ETFs managed by ETC. The Board also considered other services to be provided to the Fund by ETC, such as arranging for transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution related services necessary for the Fund to operate; administering the Fund’s business affairs; providing office facilities and equipment and certain clerical, bookkeeping, and administrative services; liaising with and reporting to the Board on matters relating to Fund operations, portfolio management and other matters essential to the Fund’s business activities; supervising the Fund’s registration as an investment company and the offering of its shares to the public, including oversight and preparation of regulatory filings; working with ETF market participants, including authorized participants, market makers, and exchanges, to help facilitate an orderly trading environment for the Fund’s shares; and providing its officers and employees to serve as officers or Trustees of the Trust.
Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by ETC.
Performance
Because the Fund is new and has not commenced operations, the Board noted that there were no historical performance records to consider.
Cost of Advisory Services and Profitability
The Board reviewed the proposed advisory fee to be paid to ETC for its services to the Fund under the Agreement. The Board reviewed a report comparing the Fund’s advisory fee to those paid by a group of peer funds. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was within the range of advisory fees paid by the peer funds. The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee is a “unitary fee,” meaning that the Fund would pay no expenses other than certain expenses customarily excluded from unitary fee arrangements, such as brokerage commissions, taxes, and interest. The Board noted that ETC will be responsible for compensating the Fund’s other service providers and paying the Fund’s other expenses out of its own fee and resources and that while the Fund’s sponsor has agreed to assume such responsibility, ETC is ultimately responsible for ensuring the obligation to the Fund is satisfied. The Board considered the costs and expenses to be incurred by ETC in providing advisory services, evaluated the compensation and benefits to be received by ETC from its relationship with the Fund, and reviewed a profitability analysis from ETC with respect to the Fund. In light of this information, the Board concluded that the advisory fee appeared reasonable in light of the services to be rendered.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the expected costs, and anticipated profits, of the advisory services to the Fund, and the potential for economies of scale as fund assets grow The Board noted that such economies would, to some degree, be shared with Fund shareholders through the unified fee structure of the Fund. The Board further noted that it would have an opportunity to evaluate the extent to which economies of scale are being shared if and when the Fund experiences significant growth.
Conclusion
No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the Agreement on behalf of the Fund; rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix on information available to it. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Agreement, including the compensation payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable to the Fund. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, therefore, determined that the approval of the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
