The Funds will issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares, typically 50,000 shares, called "Creation Units." Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day.
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.
Use of Estimates — The Funds are investment companies in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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, and could have a material impact to the Funds.

Security Valuation —Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”)), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid.
For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third–party pricing agents, if available. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third–party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker–supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third–party pricing agent, the Funds seeks to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Futures are valued at the settlement price established for the business day by the board of trade on which they are traded. Settlement prices for financial futures are provided by an independent pricing agent.
Options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices reported from the options exchange on which such options are listed. If there is no reported sale, long options positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short option positions are valued at the most recent ask price.
Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Board has designated the Adviser serve as its "Valuation Designee" and perform fair value determinations on behalf of all series of the Trust, subject to the Board's supervision and direction. The following securities may be fair valued by the Valuation Designee: (1) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available, (2) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values do not represent the fair value of the instrument, and (3) securities deemed to be illiquid. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de–listed from a national exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government–imposed restrictions. Fair valuation is based on subjective factors and, as a result, the fair value price of an asset may differ from the asset’s market price and may not be the current price at which the asset may be sold. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding the current economic environment, financial reports, credit, collateral and other such factors.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| • | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| • | Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
| • | Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
As of September 8, 2022, the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, including its fair valuation methodologies, were revised in response to the Commission's adoption of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act.
Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations.

The value of the Funds’ foreign holdings as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar generally will result in a corresponding change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that currency held by a Fund. In addition to the risks of foreign currency exchange rates generally, trading in the currencies of certain countries may face periods of limited liquidity or the political risk of exchange controls or currency repatriation restrictions, which may in turn make such holdings denominated in those currencies difficult to value. The Funds may also incur losses in connection with conversions between various currencies.
Futures Contracts — Consistent with its investment objective and strategies, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF utilized futures contracts during the year ended October 31, 2022. The Fund’s investment in futures contracts is designed to enable the Fund to more closely approximate the performance of its benchmark index. Cambria Value and Momentum ETF chose to invest in futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Fund’s returns. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract. A margin deposit was made upon entering into futures contracts and is included in Cash at Broker for futures contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, the futures contract involves the risk that Cambria Value and Momentum ETF could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.
Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
It is the Fund’s policy to present the gross variation margin payable and the gross variation margin receivable of the future contracts separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as Cambria Value and Momentum ETF does not have a master netting agreement with the counterparty to the futures contracts. Refer to the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF Schedule of Investments for details regarding open future contracts as of October 31, 2022. The fair value of equity futures contracts held in the Fund can be found on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the captions variation margin receivable/payable. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts are reported in the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF Schedule of Investments. Realized gains or losses on equity rate futures contracts related to the Fund is recognized on the Statements of Operations as part of net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts and any change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recognized on the Statements of Operations as net change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts.
Options Written/Purchased — The Cambria Value and Momentum ETF, Cambria Tail Risk ETF, and Cambria Global Tail Risk ETF may invest in equity options contracts for the purpose of hedging their existing portfolio securities, or securities that they intend to purchase, against fluctuations in fair market value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. In particular, (1) the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF may use options to hedge up to 100% of the value of its long portfolio in an attempt to avoid overvalued and downtrending markets, (2) the Cambria Tail Risk ETF utilizes a put option strategy to manage the risk of a significant negative movement in the value of domestic equities over rolling one–month periods, and (3) the Cambria Global Tail Risk ETF utilizes a put option strategy to manage the risk of a significant negative movement in the value of global ex-U.S. equities on a month-by-month basis. A Fund may also invest in equity option contracts to enhance its returns. When the Fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on affecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss. The risk in writing a call option is a Fund may give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in purchasing an option is a Fund may pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes. Finally, the risk exists that losses on written options could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend to qualify as “regulated investment companies” under Sub–chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to their shareholders.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is "more–likely–than–not" (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more–likely–than–not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period.
The Funds did not record any tax provisions in the current year. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on–going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2022, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Organizational and Offering Expenses — All organizational and offering expenses of the Trust were borne by the Investment Adviser and are not subject to future recoupment. As a result, organizational and offering expenses are not reflected in the financial statements.
Expenses — Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the underlying funds.
Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income received from the underlying funds is recognized on the ex–dividend date and is recorded as dividend income in the Statements of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the underlying funds are recognized on ex–dividend date and are recorded on the Statements of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are on the basis of specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex–dividend date. Dividend income is recorded net of unrecoverable withholding tax. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Amortization and accretion is calculated using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method over the holding period of the security. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and foreign capital gains tax have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Capital gain taxes on securities in certain foreign countries are accrued on unrealized appreciation and are due when realized.
Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds generally pay out dividends from their net investment income, if any, quarterly, and distributes their net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex–dividend date.
Creation Units — The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV in groups of 50,000 shares called creation units (“Creation Units”). Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) must pay a creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is typically a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a Redemption Fee per transaction to the custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.
The distributor has entered into participant agreements with certain broker–dealers and others that allow those parties to be Authorized Participants and to subscribe for and redeem shares of the Funds. Such Authorized Participants may from time to time hold, of record or beneficially, a substantial percentage of the Funds’ shares outstanding, act as executing or clearing broker for investment transactions on behalf of the Fund and/or serve as counterparty to derivative transactions with the Fund.

| Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
| October 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant 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 DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a participant agreement with the distributor. 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 the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown for the year/period ended October 31, 2022

To the extent the Funds permit the contribution of securities in exchange for the purchase of shares (contribution in–kind), shares may be issued in advance of receipt by the Fund of all or a portion of the applicable Deposit Securities. In these circumstances, the Fund may require the Authorized Participant to maintain with the Trust an amount up to 115% and/or 125% of the daily mark–to–market value of the missing Deposit Securities. Amounts are disclosed as segregated cash balances with authorized participants for deposit securities and Payable for collateral upon return of deposit securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Illiquid Securities — A security is considered illiquid if the Fund reasonably expects that the investment cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Valuations of illiquid securities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market value for these securities existed.
Cash and cash equivalents — Idle cash and currency balances may be swept into various overnight sweep accounts and are classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These amounts, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept are available on the next business day.
3. OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Funds are required to disclose the impact of offsetting assets and liabilities represented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on its financial position for recognized assets and liabilities. These recognized assets and liabilities are financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement or meet the following right of setoff criteria: the amounts owed by the Funds to another party are determinable, the Funds has the right to set off the amounts owed with the amounts owed by the other party, the Funds intends to set off, and the Funds right of setoff is enforceable at law.
As of October 31, 2022, the Funds’ financial instruments and derivative instruments are not subject to a master netting arrangement. See Note 9 for offsetting related to securities lending.
4. RELATED PARTIES
Investment Advisory Agreement — The Investment Adviser is responsible for overseeing the management and business affairs of the Funds, and has discretion to purchase and sell securities in accordance with the Funds’ objectives, policies, and restrictions. The Investment Adviser reviews, supervises, and administers each Fund’s investment program. The Investment Adviser has entered into an investment advisory agreement (“Management Agreement”) with respect to the Funds. Pursuant to that Management Agreement, the Funds pay the Investment Adviser, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee based on their average daily nets assets for the services and facilities it provides payable at an annual rate of 0.59%, excluding the Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF and Cambria Trinity ETF, neither of which is charged an advisory fee.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS
As with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investments could lose money, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or long periods of time. An investment is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Funds are subject to the principal risks set forth in their prospectuses under the heading ‘‘Principal Risks.’’ Some of these risks, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return, or ability to meet its investment objective, are set forth below.
Cannabis Industry Risk — Cannabis Companies are subject to various laws and regulations that may differ at the local and federal level. These laws and regulations may significantly affect a Cannabis Company’s ability to secure financing, impact the market for cannabis industry sales and services, and set limitations on marijuana use, production, transportation, and storage. Cannabis Companies may also be required to secure permits and authorizations from government agencies to cultivate or research marijuana. In addition, Cannabis Companies are subject to the risks associated with the agricultural, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. The Cambria Cannabis ETF invests in publicly–traded Cannabis Companies primarily listed and traded on a national securities exchange that operates in a jurisdiction where the Cannabis Companies’ cannabis–related business activities are legal under the national and local laws of the relevant jurisdiction, including U.S. federal and state laws.
Cash Redemption Risk — A Fund’s investment strategy may require it to effect redemptions, in whole or in part, for cash. As a result, a Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause a Fund to recognize investment income and/or capital gains or losses that it might not have recognized if it had completely satisfied the redemption in–kind. As a result, such Fund may be less tax efficient if it includes such a cash payment than if the in–kind redemption process was used exclusively (i.e., securities are distributed as payment of redemption proceeds). In addition, cash redemptions may incur higher brokerage costs than in–kind redemptions and these added costs may be borne by the Fund and negatively impact Fund performance.
Commodity Investing Risk. Investing in commodity–related companies may subject a Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The commodities markets have experienced periods of extreme volatility. Similar future market conditions may result in rapid and substantial valuation increases or decreases in the Fund’s holdings.
Currency Strategies Risk. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time and can be unpredictably affected by political developments or government intervention. Changes in currency exchange rates may affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s investments.
| Semi-Annual Report | October 31, 2022 | 61 |
| Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
| October 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
Cyber Security Risk — Each Fund, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a breach in cyber security, including cyber–attacks. A breach in cyber security, intentional or unintentional, may adversely impact the Fund in many ways, including, but not limited to, disruption of the Fund’s operational capacity, loss of proprietary information, theft or corruption of data maintained online or digitally, denial–of–service attacks on websites or network resources, and the unauthorized release of confidential information. Cyber-attacks affecting the Fund’s third–party service providers, including Cambria, the custodian, and the transfer agent, may subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches and adversely impact the Fund. For instance, cyber–attacks may impact the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of confidential business information, impede trading, cause the Fund to incur additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures, subject the Fund to regulatory fines or other financial losses, and/or cause reputational damage to the Fund. Cyber security breaches of market makers, Authorized Participants, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests could also have material adverse consequences on the Fund’s business operations and cause financial losses for the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund and its service providers have established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to address cyber security risks, prevent cyber-attacks and mitigate the impact of cyber security breaches, there are inherent limitations on such plans and systems. In addition, the Fund has no control over the cyber security protections put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Depositary Receipts Risk — The risks of investments in depositary receipts are substantially similar to the risks of investing directly in foreign securities. In addition, depositary receipts may not track the price of or may be less liquid than their underlying foreign securities, and the value of depositary receipts may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading.
Derivatives Risk — Derivatives are financial instruments that have a value which depends upon, or is derived from, a reference asset, such as one or more underlying securities, pools of securities, indexes, rates or currencies. Derivatives may result in investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest; in other words, a small investment in a derivative may have a large impact on Fund performance. The successful use of derivatives generally depends on the ability to predict market movements. The use of these instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than those normally required for purchasing and selling securities. If the Adviser uses a derivative instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, or if the derivative instrument does not perform as expected, these strategies may significantly reduce a Fund’s return. A Fund could also experience losses if it is unable to close out a position because the market for an instrument or position is or becomes illiquid.
Dividend Paying Security Risk — Securities that pay high dividends as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing these companies to underperform companies that do not pay high dividends. Also, changes in the dividend policies of companies owned by the Funds and the capital resources available for these companies’ dividend payments may adversely affect the Funds.
Emerging Markets Risk — Investments in securities and instruments traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to these securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments or investments in more developed international markets. For example, emerging markets may be subject to, among other risks, greater market volatility; lower trading volume and liquidity; greater social, political and economic uncertainty; governmental controls on foreign investments and limitations on repatriation of invested capital; lower disclosure, corporate governance, auditing and financial reporting standards; fewer protections of property rights; restrictions on the transfer of securities or currency; and settlement and trading practices that differ from U.S. markets and markets of more developed countries. Each of these factors may impact the ability of the Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares and cause the Fund to decline in value.
Equity Investing Risk — The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally.
Exchange-Traded Funds and Exchange-Traded Products (“ETP”) and Investment Companies Risk — The risks of investing in securities of ETFs, ETPs and investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the underlying ETF, ETP or investment company invests. In addition, with such investments, a Fund bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the underlying entity. As a result, the Fund’s operating expenses may be higher and performance may be lower.
Fixed Income Risk — A decline in an issuer’s credit rating may cause a decrease in the value of its fixed income securities and an increase in their investment risk and volatility. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by a Fund may “call” (or repay) the security before its stated maturity, and the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income. The market value of fixed income securities generally changes in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities is likely to decrease. Similarly, if interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities is likely to increase.
Foreign Investment Risk — Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Investments in or exposures to foreign securities by a Fund are subject to special risks, including risks associated with foreign securities generally, including differences in information available about issuers of securities and investor protection standards applicable in other jurisdictions; capital controls risks, including the risk of a foreign jurisdiction imposing restrictions on the ability to repatriate or transfer currency or other assets; currency risks; political, diplomatic and economic risks; regulatory risks; and foreign market and trading risks, including the costs of trading and risks of settlement in foreign jurisdictions.

Futures Contracts Risk — Risks associated with the use of futures contracts include the following: (i) an imperfect correlation between movements in prices of index futures contracts and movements in the value of the stock index that the instrument is designed to simulate; and (ii) the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Investments in futures may expose the Fund to leverage.
Geographic Investment Risk – To the extent a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region.
Hedging Risk – Options used by a Fund to offset its exposure to tail risk or reduce volatility may not perform as intended. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s put option strategy will be effective. It may expose a Fund to losses, e.g., option premiums, to which it would not have otherwise been exposed if it only invested, directly or indirectly, in U.S. government bonds and ex-U.S. sovereign bonds. Further, the put option strategy may not fully protect a Fund against declines in the value of its portfolio securities.
High Yield Securities Risk — High yield securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality are subject to the increased risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. High yield securities are subject to a greater risk of default and investments in them are inherently speculative. The secondary markets in which high yield securities are traded may be less liquid and more volatile than the market for higher grade securities.
Inflation-Protected Security Risk — Inflation-protected securities, such as Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS), provide protection against inflation. Inflation-protected securities typically decrease in value when real interest rates rise and increase in value when real interest rates fall.
Interest Rate Risk — The market value of fixed income securities generally changes in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities is likely to decrease. Similarly, if interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities is likely to increase. Interest rate risk is generally lower for shorter-term investments and higher for longer-term investments.
International Closed-Market Trading Risk — Because a Fund’s investments may be traded in markets that are closed when the Exchange is open, there are likely to be deviations between the current pricing of an underlying investment and stale investment pricing (i.e., the last quote from its closed foreign market), resulting in premiums or discounts to NAV that may be greater than those experienced by other ETFs.
Investment Risk — An investment in a Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell your Shares, they could be worth less than what you paid for them.
Large Capitalization Company Risk — A Fund’s investments in large capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Liquidity Risk — A Fund may purchase options and fixed income securities that may be less liquid than other types of investments. The options and fixed income securities purchased by a Fund may not always be liquid. This could have a negative effect on a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and may result in losses to Fund shareholders.
Management Risk — The Funds are all actively managed and use proprietary investment strategies and processes. There can be no guarantee that these strategies and processes will produce the intended results and no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its investment objective. This could result in a Fund’s underperformance compared to other funds with similar investment objectives.
Market Events Risk — Turbulence in the financial markets, reduced liquidity in the equity markets, and/or the advent of certain economic or political events, including global events such as war, acts of terrorism or a public health crisis, may negatively affect issuers, which could have an adverse effect on certain Fund holdings. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve and/or other government actors, such as increasing interest rates, could cause increased volatility in financial markets and higher levels of Fund redemptions, which could have a negative impact on certain Fund holdings.
Recent Events — The respiratory illness COVID-19 has spread worldwide for over two years, resulting in a global pandemic and major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. During this time, financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Many instruments experienced reduced liquidity for periods of time. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers experienced particularly large losses as a result of the pandemic and public safety measures enacted to mitigate the spread of the virus. Although, some global economies have re-opened in recent months, others have struggled to control the spread of the virus and re-open their economies. As a result, the impact of COVID-19 may continue to be felt by global markets, economic sectors, and individual issuers for an extended period of time, which, in turn, may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments.

| October 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
In addition, Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the resulting responses by the United States and other countries, and the potential for wider conflict could increase volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and adversely affect regional and global economies. While the extent and duration of Russia’s military actions and the repercussions of such actions are impossible to predict, the war in Ukraine could result in significant market disruptions, including in certain industries or sectors, and may negatively affect global supply chains, inflation and global growth.
Options Risk — Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the prices of options and movements in the price of the underlying securities. Options may expire unexercised, causing the Fund to lose the premium paid for them. The success of the Fund’s investment in options depends upon many factors, such as the price of the options which is a function of various factors that may change rapidly over time. If a counterparty defaults, the Fund’s only recourse will be to pursue contractual remedies against the counterparty, and the Fund may be unsuccessful in its pursuit. The Fund thus assumes the risk that it may be delayed in or prevented from obtaining payments owed to it pursuant to an over–the–counter options transaction.
Portfolio Turnover Risk — Because the Cambria Tail Risk ETF and Cambria Global Tail Risk ETF “turn over” their put options every month, the Funds will incur high levels of transaction costs from commissions or mark-ups in the bid/offer spread. Higher portfolio turnover may result in a Fund paying higher levels of transaction costs and generating greater tax liabilities for shareholders. Portfolio turnover risk may cause a Fund’s performance to be less than you expect. While the turnover of the put options is not deemed “portfolio turnover” for accounting purposes, the economic impact to the Cambria Tail Risk ETF and Cambria Global Tail Risk ETF is similar to what could occur if the Fund experienced high portfolio turnover (e.g., in excess of 100% per year). Other Funds' strategies may also result in high portfolio turnover rates.
Premium-Discount Risk — The shares may trade above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of shares, however, will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, shares on the Exchange. The trading price of shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. Cambria cannot predict whether shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities held by the Fund. However, given that shares can be purchased and redeemed in large blocks of shares, called Creation Units (unlike shares of closed–end funds, which frequently trade at appreciable discounts from, and sometimes at premiums to, their NAV), and the Fund’s portfolio holdings are fully disclosed on a daily basis, Cambria believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained, but that may not be the case.
Quantitative Security Selection Risk — Cambria uses quantitative techniques to generate investment decisions and select stocks, and a Fund may not perform as intended if it relies on erroneous or outdated data from one or more third parties. Errors in data used in the quantitative model may occur from time to time and may not be identified and/or corrected before having an adverse impact on a Fund and its shareholders.
Real Estate Investments Risk — The Cambria Global Real Estate ETF's investments are concentrated in real estate-related industries, and the Fund may be susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences affecting these industries. Investments in real estate are subject to certain risks, including declines in the real estate market, decreases in property revenues, increases in interest rates, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, legal and regulatory changes, a lack of credit or capital, defaults by borrowers or tenants, environmental problems and natural disasters. The availability of mortgages and changes in interest rates may also affect real estate values.
Real Estate Investment Trust "REIT" Risk. In addition to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and real estate–related securities, REITs are subject to additional risks, including those related to adverse governmental actions, and the performance of a REIT may be affected by its failure to qualify for tax–free pass through of income or its failure to maintain exemption from registration as an investment company. REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and may invest in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a small number of property types. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders or unitholders, and may be subject to defaults by borrowers and to self–liquidations. As a result, investments in REITs may be volatile. REITs also have their own fees and expenses, and the Fund will indirectly bear a proportionate share of those fees and expenses.

Secondary Market Trading Risk — Investors buying or selling shares in the secondary market will generally pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of shares. In addition, secondary market investors will also incur the cost of the difference between the price that an investor is willing to pay for shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which an investor is willing to sell shares (the “ask” price). This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the “spread” or “bid/ask spread.” The bid/ask spread varies over time for shares based on trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower if the Fund’s shares have more trading volume and market liquidity and higher if the Fund’s shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Further, increased market volatility may cause increased bid/ask spreads.
Although the shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable. Further, trading in shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
Sector Risk — To the extent that a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a particular sector, the Fund may be susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences affecting that sector.
Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk — Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Small and medium capitalization companies are sometimes more dependent on key personnel or limited product lines than larger, more diversified companies. Often, small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they focus are still evolving and, as a result, they may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.
Value Investment Risk — A Fund may consider certain value metrics when selecting stocks for inclusion in its portfolio and, as a result, the Fund may underperform when the market favors stocks with growth characteristics or a non-value investment approach. Value investments are subject to the risk that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market.
7. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with third–party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. Based on experience, the Investment 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.
8. INCOME TAXES
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily attributable to redemption in kind transactions and net operating loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.

9. SECURITIES LENDING
The Funds have entered into a Securities Lending Agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., (the “Lending Agent”) to lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations that meet capital and other credit requirements or other criteria established by the Trust’s Board. These loans, if and when made, may not exceed 33 1/3% of the total asset value of the respective Fund (including the loan collateral). The Funds will not lend portfolio securities to the Adviser or its affiliates unless permissible under the 1940 Act and the rules and promulgations thereunder. Loans of portfolio securities will be fully collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities, and the collateral will be maintained in an amount equal to at least 102% of the then market value of domestic loaned securities and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities. However, due to market fluctuations during the day, the value of securities loaned on a particular day may, during the course of the day, exceed the value of collateral. On each business day, the amount of collateral is adjusted based on the prior day’s market fluctuations and the current day’s lending activity. Income from lending activity is determined by the amount of interest earned on collateral, less any amounts payable to the borrowers of the securities and the lending agent. Lending securities involves certain risks, including the risk that the Funds may be delayed or restricted from recovering the loaned securities or disposing of the collateral for the loan, which could give rise to loss because of adverse market actions, expenses and/or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and income from lending activity by the Funds that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of that Fund.

| Cambria ETF Trust | Disclosure of Fund Expenses |
| October 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
All ETFs have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management and brokerage fees. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. Shareholder may incur brokerage commissions on their purchase and sales of Fund Shares, which are not reflected in the examples below.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the ETF’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples do not reflect any brokerage commissions that you may pay on purchases and sales of Shares. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022).
The table below illustrates your Fund’s costs 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 period, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) 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.

Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per share at which a Fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. A Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The Market Price of a Fund generally fluctuates in response to changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand. The data represented in the table below represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of a NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
