Investors who cannot transact in Creation Units of a Fund’s shares must buy or sell Fund shares in the secondary market at their market price, which may be at a premium or discount to a Fund’s net asset value, with the assistance of a broker. In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset value when buying Fund shares and receive less than net asset value when selling Fund shares.

The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. As of September 30, 2021, the Trust had thirty one operational series. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the following 19 series: KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Index ETF (formerly KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF), KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF (formerly, KraneShares CCBS China Corporate High Yield Bond USD Index ETF), KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China ESG Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares Global Carbon ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund, other than KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF and KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, is a non-diversified Fund. KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF and KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF are diversified Funds, as defined under Section 5(b)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane” or the ‘‘Adviser’’), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser for the Funds and is subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the ‘‘Board’’). The Adviser is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Funds, the Funds’ business affairs and other administrative matters. The Adviser may use sub-advisers (each, a “Sub-Adviser” or collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”) to perform the day-to-day management of the Funds.
China International Capital Corporation (USA) Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of China International Capital Corporation Limited owns a majority stake in Krane. Central Huijin Investment Limited, a mainland Chinese-domiciled entity, and HKSCC Nominees Limited, currently holds approximately 40.2% and 30.7%, respectively, of the shares of China International Capital Corporation Limited. Central Huijin Investment Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Investment Corporation, which is a mainland Chinese sovereign wealth fund. KFA One Holdings, LLC, located at 280 Park Avenue 32nd Floor, New York, New York, 10017, holds the remaining equity interests in Krane and Jonathan Krane, through his equity interests in KFA One Holdings, LLC, beneficially owns more than 10% of the equity interests in Krane.
The KFA Global Carbon Subsidiary, Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the KraneShares Global Carbon ETF (“Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempt limited company. Information regarding the KraneShares Global Carbon ETF and its subsidiary has been consolidated in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Consolidated Financial Highlights.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”), (the “Exchange”). Market prices for Fund shares (“Shares”) may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, typically 50,000 or 100,000 Shares or multiples thereof, called “Creation Units”. This does not mean, however,
140
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
that individual investors will be able to redeem and purchase Shares directly with the series of the Trust. Only Authorized Participants can redeem and purchase Creation Units of Shares directly. Each Fund will issue and redeem Shares for a basket of securities and/or a balancing cash amount. Individual shares trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day.
The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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
141
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 — The NAV per share of each Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of a Fund (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities and withholdings) by the total number of shares of a Fund outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. Expenses and fees, including without limitation, the management, administration and distribution fees, are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining NAV. The NAV per share for each Fund normally is calculated by the Administrator and determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the regular trading session on the NYSE (ordinarily 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the Exchange is open.
Securities listed on a securities exchange (i.e., exchange-traded equity securities), market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued by a Fund’s independent pricing agents at the last reported sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at the time as of which the Fund’s NAV is calculated if a security’s exchange is normally open at that time). If there is no such reported sale, such securities are valued at the most recently reported bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used.
If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Fund seeks to obtain bid and ask prices from two broker-dealers who make a market in the portfolio instrument and determines the average of the two.
If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. 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. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value.
The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. The exchange rates used for valuation are captured as of the close of the London Stock Exchange each day normally at 4:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time. The value of a swap contract is equal to the obligation (or rights) under the swap contract, which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the contract based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the contract as determined by the applicable independent, third party pricing agent. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sales price on the exchange on which they are listed. If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, long positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short positions are valued at the most recent ask price. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are valued based upon prices determined by the applicable independent, third party pricing agent. Futures are valued at the settlement price established by the board of trade on which they are traded. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued at the current day’s interpolated foreign exchange rate, as calculated using the current day’s spot rate and the 30-, 60-, 90- and 180-day forward rates provided by an independent pricing agent. As of and during the period ended September 30, 2021, the Funds did not hold options, swaps or foreign currency forward contracts.
Investments in open-end investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in open-end investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued in the same manner as other exchange-traded equity securities (described above).
142
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Securities for which market prices are not ‘‘readily available,’’ or are not deemed to reflect current market values, or are debt securities where no evaluated price is available from the Trust’s third-party pricing agents pursuant to established methodologies, are fair valued in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using ‘‘fair value’’ pricing may include, but are not limited to: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed; or the security has not been traded for an extended period of time.
In addition, a Fund may fair value its securities if an event that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s securities that trade outside of the United States (a ‘‘Significant Event’’) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that a Fund calculates its NAV. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector, country or region. Events that may be Significant Events may include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If Krane becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a portfolio instrument or group of portfolio instruments after the closing of the exchange or market on which the portfolio instrument or portfolio instruments principally trade, but before the time at which a Fund calculates its NAV, it will notify the Administrator and may request that an ad hoc meeting of the Fair Valuation Committee be called.
With respect to trade-halted securities, the Trust typically will fair value a trade-halted security by adjusting the security’s last market close price by the security’s sector performance, as measured by a predetermined index, unless Krane recommends and the Trust’s Fair Valuation Committee determines to make additional adjustments. Certain foreign securities exchanges have mechanisms in place that confine one day’s price movement in an individual security to a pre-determined price range (the “Exchange Range”) based on that day’s opening price (‘‘Collared Securities’’). Fair value determinations for such Collared Securities will generally be capped based on the Exchange Range relevant to that security. As an example, China A-Shares can only be plus or minus ten percent in one day of trading on the relevant mainland China equity exchange. As a result, the fair value price determination for China A-Shares on a given day will generally be capped plus or minus ten percent.
Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could actually be realized upon the sale of the security or that another fund that uses market quotations or its own fair value procedures to price the same securities. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Underlying Index. This may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index.
Trading in securities on many foreign exchanges is normally completed before the close of business on each Business Day. In addition, securities trading in a particular country or countries may not take place on each Business Day or may take place on days that are not Business Days. Changes in valuations on certain securities may occur at times or on days on which the Funds’ NAV is not calculated and on which Fund shares do not trade and sales and redemptions of shares do not occur. As a result, the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities and the net asset value of its shares may change on days when share purchases or sales cannot occur. Fund shares are purchased or sold on a national securities exchange at market prices, which may be higher or lower than NAV. Transactions in Fund shares will be priced at NAV only if shares are purchased or redeemed directly from a Fund in Creation Units. No secondary sales will be made to brokers or dealers at a concession by the Distributor or by a Fund. Purchases and sales of shares in the secondary market, which will not involve a Fund, will be subject to customary brokerage commissions and charges.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the 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 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost).
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, broker quotes, fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term).
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. For details of the investment classification, refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute annually all or substantially all of its taxable income and gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
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 year. The Funds did not record any tax provisions in the
144
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
current period. 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 September 30, 2021, management of the Funds has reviewed all open tax years since inception and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded, net of any applicable withholding tax, on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date and includes the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discount calculated using the effective interest method.
Dividend income received from affiliated funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as income distributions in the Statement of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from affiliated funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statement of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of affiliated funds are on the basis of specific identification. See details on the Statements of Operations.
FOREIGN CURRENCY — 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. The Funds report certain foreign-currency-related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes.
FUTURES — The KraneShares Global Carbon ETF will utilize the Subsidiary for purposes of investing in carbon credit futures that are the same as or similar to those included in the Index. 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 contracts are closed, the Fund 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.
As of September 30, 2021, the KraneShares Global Carbon ETF had open futures contracts. Refer to the Fund’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments for details regarding open futures contracts as of September 30, 2021.
For the period ended September 30, 2021, the average monthly notional amount of futures contracts was $ 499,497,808.
145
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Each Fund, except for the KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF and the KraneShares Bloomberg Barclays China Bond Inclusion Index ETF, intends to pay out dividends, if any, at least annually; each of KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF and the KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Index ETF intend to pay out dividends, if any, at least monthly. The Funds distribute their net investment income at least annually. Any net realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”),the Funds’ Custodian, if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.00%. Cash overdraft charges are included in “Interest Expense” on the Statements of Operations.
SECURITIES LENDING — The Funds may lend securities from their portfolios to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. In connection with such loans, a Fund remains the beneficial owner of the loaned securities and continues to receive payments in amounts approximately equal to the interest, dividends or other distributions payable on the loaned securities. A Fund also has the right to terminate a loan at any time. A Fund does not have the right to vote on securities while they are on loan. Loans of portfolio securities will not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of a Fund’s total assets (including the value of all assets received as collateral for the loan). A Fund will receive collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars, foreign currency, or securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% on domestic securities and 105% on international securities of the current market value of the loaned securities. If the collateral consists of cash, a Fund will reinvest the cash and pay the borrower a pre-negotiated fee or “rebate” from any return earned on the investment. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, a Fund may experience delays in recovering the loaned securities or exercising its rights in the collateral. In a loan transaction, a Fund will also bear the risk of any decline in value of securities acquired with cash collateral. Krane and a sub-adviser are subject to potential conflicts of interest because the compensation paid to them increases in connection with any net income received by a Fund from a securities lending program. Each Fund pays Krane 10% of any net monthly income received from the investment of cash collateral and loan fees received from borrowers in respect of each securities loan (net of any amounts paid to the custodian and/or securities lending agent or rebated to borrowers) (see Note 3).

CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem Shares at NAV and only in large blocks of Shares (each block of Shares for a Fund is a Creation Unit of 50,000 Shares, 100,000 Shares, or multiples thereof). In its discretion, the Trust reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of each Fund’s shares that constitute a Creation Unit.
146
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain 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 Depository Trust Company (‘‘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 a Fund. 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 when buying or selling Shares. If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee may be charged.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT — The Adviser serves as investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust on behalf of each Fund and the Adviser (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, Krane is responsible for reviewing, supervising and administering each Fund’s investment program and the general management and administration of the Trust. In addition to these services, to the extent a Fund engages in securities lending, Krane will: (i) assist the securities lending agent of the Fund (the “Agent”) to determine which securities are available for loan, (ii) monitor the Agent’s activities to ensure that securities loans are effected in accordance with Krane’s instructions and in accordance with applicable procedures and guidelines adopted by the Board, (iii) make recommendations to the Board regarding the Fund’s participation in securities lending; (iv) prepare appropriate periodic reports for, and seek appropriate periodic approvals from, the Board with respect to securities lending activities, (v) respond to Agent inquiries concerning the Agent’s activities, and (vi) such other related duties as Krane deems necessary or appropriate (this provision became effective with respect to the Funds on the later of October 5, 2017, or the date the Fund commenced operations). The Board of Trustees of the Trust supervises Krane and establishes policies that Krane must follow in its management activities.
The Agreement requires the Adviser to pay all operating expenses of the Funds, except: (a) interest and taxes (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transaction, transfer and withholding taxes); (b) expenses of the Funds incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions and short sale dividend or interest expense; (c) expenses incurred in connection with any distribution plan adopted by the Trust in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act, including distribution fees; (d) “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” (as defined by Form N-1A under the 1940 Act); (e) litigation expenses; (f) the compensation payable to the Adviser under the Agreement; (g) compensation and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any fees of independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees); and (h) any expenses determined to be extraordinary expenses by the Board. In addition, effective on the later of October 5, 2017, or the date the Fund commenced operations, under the Agreement, while the fees and expenses related to the Funds’ securities lending-related activities reduce the gross revenues and income of the Funds from such activities, they are not fees and expenses for which Krane is responsible.
Each Agreement provides that each Fund pays a unitary (or unified) fee to the Adviser for advisory and management services provided to the Fund, subject to the exceptions noted herein. In this context, there exists a risk that a Trust service provider will seek recourse against the Trust if is not timely paid by Krane for the fees and expenses for which it is responsible, which could materially adversely affect the Funds. Pursuant to the Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Funds below pay the Adviser a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at the following annual rates, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund. In addition, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser in connection with any securities lending-related activities, each Fund pays the Adviser 10% of the monthly investment income received from the investment of cash collateral and loan fees received from borrowers in respect to securities loans (net of any amounts paid to the custodian and/or securities lending agent or rebated to borrowers), included on the Statements of Operations as “Security Lending Fees”.

Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing the taxation of income distributions and capital gains from investments in A Shares could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Funds. China generally imposes withholding tax at a rate of 10% on dividends and interest derived by non-Chinese resident investors (including, for example, Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“QFII”)) from Chinese companies and those companies which are not Chinese tax residents, but which are deemed to be Chinese tax residents (e.g., under Notice 7). China also imposes withholding tax at a rate of 10% on capital gains derived by non-residents from investment in actual and constructive Chinese resident companies. The Chinese withholding taxes applied to dividends, interest and capital gains may, in principle, be subject to a reduced rate under an applicable Chinese tax treaty, but the application of such treaties in the case of a non-resident (e.g., in the case of a QFII acting on behalf of non-resident investors, such as the Funds) is also uncertain. The imposition of such taxes could have a material adverse effect on the Funds’ returns. The People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) rules regarding the taxation of non-resident investors are quickly evolving and certain of the tax regulations to be issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation and/or the PRC Ministry of Finance to clarify matters may apply retrospectively. Such retroactively applied rules may be adverse to the Funds and their shareholders. It is also unclear how China’s value added tax (“VAT”) may be affected by tax treaty provisions. If such a tax is collected, the expenses will be passed on and borne by the Funds. The imposition of such taxes, as well as future changes in applicable PRC tax law, may adversely affect the Funds. If the Funds expect VAT to be imposed, they reserve the right to establish a reserve for such tax. If the Funds establish such a reserve but are not ultimately subject to the tax, shareholders who redeemed or sold their shares while the reserve was in place will effectively bear the tax and may not benefit from the later release, if any, of the reserve. Conversely, if the Funds do not establish such a reserve but ultimately are subject to the tax, shareholders who redeemed or sold their shares prior to the tax being withheld, reserved or paid will have effectively avoided the tax, even if they benefited from investments in a Fund. Effective November 17, 2014, QFIIs, RQFIIs (i.e., QFIIs investing in Yuan, rather than foreign currency) and non-Chinese resident investors investing through the Hong Kong-Shanghai Stock Connect are exempted temporarily from the 10% capital gains tax that normally applies to sales of A Shares on a public Chinese exchange (such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange). However, such investors are still required to pay capital gains tax for gains realized on trades executed before November 17, 2014.
On November 7, 2018, China’s Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued Circular 108. This circular announced a three year exemption from corporate income tax withholding (“WHT”) and Value Added Tax (“VAT”) for China-sourced bond interest derived by overseas institutional investors. The WHT and VAT exemptions apply from November 7, 2018 to November 6, 2021.
8. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
As with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. Each Fund is subject to certain of the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. A more complete description of principal risks is included in each Fund’s prospectus under the heading “Principal Risks”. The following risks pertain to all Funds, unless otherwise noted.
ASIA-PACIFIC RISK (KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF) — Investments in securities of issuers in Asia-Pacific countries involve risks that are specific to the Asia-Pacific region, including certain legal, regulatory, political and economic risks. Certain Asia-Pacific countries have experienced expropriation and/or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, political instability, armed
159
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
conflict and social instability as a result of religious, ethnic, socio-economic and/or political unrest. Some economies in this region are dependent on a range of commodities, and are strongly affected by international commodity prices and particularly vulnerable to price changes for these products. The market for securities in this region may also be directly influenced by the flow of international capital, and by the economic and market conditions of neighboring countries. Many Asia-Pacific economies have experienced rapid growth and industrialization, and there is no assurance that this growth rate will be maintained. Some Asia-Pacific economies are highly dependent on trade and economic conditions in other countries can impact these economies.
Capital Controls Risk (KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF) — Economic conditions, such as volatile currency exchange rates and interest rates, political events and other conditions may, without prior warning, lead to intervention by government actors and the imposition of “capital controls.” Capital controls include the prohibition of, or restrictions on, the ability to transfer currency, securities or other assets. Levies may be placed on profits repatriated by foreign entities (such as the Fund). Although the RMB is not presently freely convertible, rather it is subject to the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) and other relevant authorities, repatriations by RQFIIs or through the Stock Connect Programs are currently permitted daily and Chinese authorities have indicated their plans to move to a fully freely convertible RMB. There is no assurance, however, that repatriation restrictions will not be (re-)imposed in the future.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS RISK — The Fund may hold cash or cash equivalents. Generally, such positions offer less potential for gain than other investments. Holding cash or cash equivalents, even strategically, may lead to missed investment opportunities. This is particularly true when the market for other investments in which the Fund may invest is rapidly rising. If the Fund holds cash uninvested it will be subject to the credit risk of the depositing institution holding the cash.
CAP AND TRADE RISK (KraneShares Global Carbon ETF) — There is no assurance that cap and trade programs will continue to exist. Cap and trade may not prove to be an effective method of reduction in GHG emissions. As a result or due to other factors, cap and trade programs may be terminated or may not be renewed upon their expiration. New technologies may arise that may diminish or eliminate the need for cap and trade markets. Ultimately, the cost of emissions credits is determined by the cost of actually reducing emissions levels. If the price of credits becomes too high, it will be more economical for companies to develop or invest in green technologies, thereby suppressing the demand for credits and adversely affecting the price of the Fund.
Cap and trade programs set emission limits (i.e., the right to emit a certain quantity of GHG emissions), which can be allocated or auctioned to the parties regulated under the program up to the total emissions cap. This allocation may be larger or smaller than is needed for a stable price of credits and can lead to large price volatility, which could affect the value of the Fund. Depending upon the industries covered under each cap and trade mechanism represented in the Index, unpredictable demand for their products and services can affect the value of GHG emissions credits. For example, very mild winters or very cool summers can decrease demand for electric utilities and therefore require fewer carbon credits to offset reduced production and GHG emissions.
CHINA RISK — (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI
160
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China ESG Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — The Chinese economy is generally considered an emerging market and can be significantly affected by economic and political conditions in China and surrounding Asian countries. In addition, the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. A downturn in the economies of China’s primary trading partners could slow or eliminate the growth of the Chinese economy and adversely impact the Fund’s investments. The Chinese government strictly regulates the payment of foreign currency denominated obligations and sets monetary policy. The Chinese government may introduce new laws and regulations that could have an adverse effect on the Fund. Although China has begun the process of privatizing certain sectors of its economy, privatized entities may lose money and/or be re-nationalized.
In the Chinese securities markets, a small number of issuers may represent a large portion of the entire market. The Chinese securities markets are subject to more frequent trading halts, low trading volume and price volatility. Further, the Chinese economy is heavily dependent upon trading with key partners. Recent developments in relations between the United States and China have heightened concerns of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two countries. An increase in tariffs or trade restrictions or even the threat of such developments, could lead to significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s export industry and a commensurately negative impact on the Fund.
The RMB Bond market is volatile with a risk of trading suspensions in particular securities and government interventions. Trading in RMB Bonds may be suspended without warning and for lengthy periods. Information on such trading suspensions, including as to their expected length, may be unavailable. Securities affected by trading suspensions may be or become illiquid. In recent years, Chinese entities have incurred significant levels of debt and Chinese financial institutions currently hold relatively large amounts of non-performing debt. Thus, there exists a possibility that widespread defaults could occur, which could trigger a financial crisis, freeze Chinese debt and finance markets and make certain Chinese securities illiquid.
In
addition, trade relations between the U.S. and China have recently been
strained. Worsening trade relations between the two countries could adversely
impact the Fund, particularly to the extent that the Chinese government
restricts foreign investments in on-shore Chinese companies
or the U.S. government restricts investments by U.S. investors in China
including by limiting the ability of Chinese issuers to list on the U.S.
exchanges. Worsening trade relations may also result in market volatility and
volatility in the price of Fund shares. In addition, the U.S government has
imposed restrictions on the ability of U.S. investors to hold and/or acquire
securities of certain Chinese companies, which may
adversely impact the
Fund, may mean that the Fund’s Underlying Index may need to adjust its
methodology or could increase tracking error for the Fund.
CHINESE CREDIT RATINGS RISK (KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion ETF) — The debt securities included in Underlying Index securities, and therefore the securities held by the KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion ETF Fund, will generally be rated by Chinese ratings agencies (and not by U.S. nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations (“NRSROs”)). The rating criteria and methodology used by Chinese rating agencies may be different from those adopted by NRSROs and international credit rating agencies. Therefore, such rating systems may not provide an equivalent standard for comparison with securities rated by NRSROs or other international credit rating agencies.
161
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
COMMODITY-LINKED DERIVATIVES RISK (KraneShares Global Carbon ETF) — The value of a commodity-linked derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of a physical commodity and may be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the Index, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Investments in commodity-linked derivatives may be subject to greater volatility than non-derivative based investments. Commodity-linked derivatives also may be subject to credit and interest rate risks that in general affect the values of debt securities.
COMMODITY POOL REGISTRATION RISK (KraneShares Global Carbon ETF) — Under amended regulations promulgated by the CFTC, the Fund and the Subsidiary will be considered commodity pools upon commencement of operations, and therefore each will be subject to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC rules. Krane will register as a commodity pool operator and will manage the Fund and the Subsidiary in accordance with CFTC rules, as well as the rules that apply to registered investment companies. Commodity pools are subject to additional laws, regulations and enforcement policies, all of which may potentially increase compliance costs and may affect the operations and financial performance of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Additionally, positions in futures and other contracts may have to be liquidated at disadvantageous times or prices to prevent the Fund from exceeding any applicable position limits established by the CFTC. Such actions may subject the Fund to substantial losses.
CONCENTRATION RISK — Because the Fund’s assets are expected to be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or group of industries or sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or a group of related industries, and the securities of companies in that industry or group of industries could react similarly to these or other developments. Depending on the composition of each Fund’s Underlying Index, the Fund may be subject to principal risks, as outlined in each Fund’s prospectus. Each Fund may have significant exposure to other industries or sectors over time.
CURRENCY RISK — The Fund’s assets will be invested in instruments denominated in foreign currencies and the income received by the Fund may be in foreign currencies. The Fund will compute and expects to distribute its income in U.S. dollars, and the computation of income will be made on the date that the income is earned by the Fund at the foreign exchange rate in effect on that date. The Fund will conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions either on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time the Fund wishes to enter into the transaction, or through forward, futures or options contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies.
The Fund’s NAV is determined on the basis of the U.S. dollar. The Fund may therefore lose value if the local currency of a foreign investment depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the local currency value of the Fund’s holdings goes up. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably, which may adversely affect the Fund. The Fund may also be subject to delays in converting or transferring U.S. dollars to foreign currencies and vice versa. This may adversely affect the Fund’s performance over time.
CUSTODY RISKS (KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — In accordance with Chinese regulations, A-Shares acquired through a QFII or RQFII license will be held in the joint names of the Fund and
162

Bosera. While Bosera may not use such an account for any purpose other than for maintaining the Fund’s assets, the Fund’s assets may not be as well protected as they would be if it were possible for them to be registered and held solely in the name of the Fund. There is a risk that creditors of Bosera may assert that the securities are owned by Bosera and that regulatory actions taken against Bosera may affect the Fund. The risk is particularly acute in the case of cash deposited with a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) sub-custodian (“PRC Custodian”) because it may not be segregated, and it may be treated as a debt owing from the PRC Custodian to the Fund as a depositor. Thus, in the event of a PRC Custodian bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar event, the Fund may face difficulties and/or encounter delays in recovering its cash.
DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS RISK (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF and KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF ) — The Fund may hold the securities of Chinese and other non-U.S. companies in the form of depositary receipts, including American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts. Investing in depositary receipts entails the risks associated with foreign investments. The underlying securities of the depositary receipts in the Fund’s portfolio are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, the value of the securities underlying the depositary receipts may change materially when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, which will affect the value of the depositary receipts. Like direct investments in foreign securities, investments in depositary receipts involve political and economic risks distinct from those associated with investing in the securities of U.S. issuers.
DERIVATIVES RISK — The use of derivatives (including swaps, futures, forwards, structured notes and options) may involve leverage, which includes risks that are different from, and greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in a reference asset, because a small investment in a derivative can result in a large impact on the Fund and may cause the Fund to be more volatile. Derivatives may at times be highly illiquid, and the Fund may not be able to close out or sell a derivative at a particular time or at an anticipated price. Derivatives can be difficult to value and valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil. There may be imperfect correlation between the derivative and that of the reference asset, resulting in unexpected returns that could materially adversely affect the Fund. Certain derivatives (such as swaps and options) are bi-lateral agreements that expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of derivative. In that case, the Fund may suffer losses potentially equal to, or greater than, the full value of the derivative if the counterparty fails to perform its obligations. That risk is generally thought to be greater with over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives than with derivatives that are exchange traded or centrally cleared. Counterparty risks are compounded by the fact that there are only a limited number of ways available to invest in certain reference assets and, therefore, there may be few counterparties to swaps or options based on those reference assets. Many derivatives are subject to segregation requirements that require the Fund to segregate the market or notional value of the derivatives, which could impede the portfolio management of the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
EMERGING MARKETS RISK — The Fund’s investments in emerging markets are subject to greater risk of loss than investments in developed markets. This is due to, among other things, greater market volatility, greater risk of asset seizures and capital controls, lower trading volume, political and economic instability, greater risk of market shutdown and more governmental limitations on foreign investments than typically found in developed markets. The economies of emerging markets, and China in particular, may be heavily reliant upon international trade and may suffer disproportionately if international trading declines or is disrupted.
ESG RISK (KraneShares MSCI China ESG Leaders Index ETF) — Issuers with businesses with high ESG ratings may be difficult to identify and investments in them maybe volatile. Even companies with high ESG ratings may not necessarily compare favorably with respect to the ESG practices of other issuers. The ESG investment strategy limits the types and number of investment opportunities available and, as a result, the strategy may underperform other strategies that do not have an ESG focus. The ESG investment strategy may result in the Fund’s investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. Investing based on ESG criteria is qualitative and subjective by nature and there is no guarantee that the criteria used by the Fund will reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor.
ETF RISK. As an ETF, the Fund is subject to the following risks:
Authorized Participants Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. To the extent they exit the business or are otherwise unable to proceed in creation and redemption transactions with the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, shares of the Fund may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts or delisting. Authorized Participant concentration risk may be heightened for exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), such as the Fund, that invest in securities issued by non-U.S. issuers or other securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes.
Cash Transactions Risk. Like other ETFs, the Fund sells and redeems its shares only in large blocks called Creation Units and only to “Authorized Participants.” Unlike many other ETFs, however, the Fund expects to effect its creations and redemptions at least partially or fully for cash, rather than in-kind securities. Thus, an investment in the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in other ETFs as the Fund may recognize a capital gain that it could have avoided by making redemptions in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher capital gains distributions than ETFs that redeem in-kind. Further, paying redemption proceeds in cash rather than through in-kind delivery of portfolio securities may require the Fund to dispose of or sell portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds at an inopportune time.
International Closed Market Trading Risk. To the extent the Fund’s investments trade in markets that are closed when the Fund and Exchange are open, there are likely to be deviations between current pricing of an underlying security and the prices at which the underlying securities are valued for purposes of the Fund’s NAV. As a result, Shares may appear to trade at a significant discount or premium to NAV greater than those incurred by other ETFs. In addition, shareholders may not be able to purchase or redeem their shares of the Fund, or purchase or sell shares of the Fund on the Exchange, on days when the NAV of the Fund could be significantly affected by events in the relevant non-U.S. markets.
164
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
New Fund Risk (KraneShares MSCI China ESG Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF). The Fund is new. If the Fund does not grow large in size once it commences trading, it will be at greater risk than larger funds of wider bid-ask spreads for its shares, trading at a greater premium or discount to NAV, liquidation and/or a stop to trading.
Premium/Discount Risk. There may be times when the market price of the Fund’s shares is more than the NAV intra-day (at a premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (at a discount). As a result, shareholders of the Fund may pay more than NAV when purchasing shares and receive less than NAV when selling Fund shares. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. In such market conditions, market or stop loss orders to sell Fund shares may be executed at prices well below NAV.
Secondary Market Trading Risk. Investors buying or selling shares in the secondary market will normally pay brokerage commissions, which are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors buying or selling relatively small amounts of shares. Secondary market trading is subject to bid-ask spreads and trading in Fund shares may be halted by the Exchange because of market conditions or other reasons. If a trading halt occurs, a shareholder may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell shares of the Fund. In addition, although the Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained or that the Fund’s shares will continue to be listed.
EQUITY SECURITIES RISK — The values of equity securities are subject to factors such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. Equity securities are subject to volatile changes in value and their values may be more volatile than other asset classes. In the event of liquidation, equity securities are generally subordinate in rank to debt and other securities of the same issuer.
FIXED INCOME SECURITIES RISK (KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion ETF, KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF and KraneShares Global Carbon ETF) — Fixed income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not make timely interest payments or repay the principal of the debt issued (i.e., it defaults on its obligations). Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a debt resulting from changes in the level of interest rates. When interest rates go up, the prices of most debt instruments go down; and when interest rates go down, the prices of most debt instruments go up. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, typically making them more volatile. The current low-interest-rate environment heightens the risks associated with rising interest rates. Maturity risk refers to the value of the Fund’s fixed income investments is also dependent on their maturity. Generally, the longer the maturity of a fixed income security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK — Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers may be less liquid than investments in U.S. issuers as foreign trading markets are not typically as active as U.S. markets and may have less governmental regulation and oversight. For example, non-U.S. issuers may be subject to different accounting, auditing, financial reporting and investor protection standards than U.S. issuers. As a result, there may be less information publicly available about non-U.S. issuers. Investments in non-U.S. securities also involve risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations and
165
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
political or economic instability. Foreign markets also may have clearance and settlement procedures that make it difficult for the Funds to buy and sell securities. These factors could result in a loss to the Funds by causing the Funds to be unable to dispose of an investment or to miss an attractive investment opportunity, or by causing the Funds’ assets to be uninvested for some period of time.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS RISK (KraneShares Global Carbon ETF) — Investments in non-U.S. instruments may involve risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic instability. Foreign markets also may have clearance and settlement procedures that make it difficult for the Fund to buy and sell securities. These factors could result in a loss to the Fund by causing the Fund to be unable to dispose of an investment or to miss an attractive investment opportunity, or by causing the Fund’s assets to be uninvested for some period of time.
FRONTIER MARKETS RISK (KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF and KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF) — Frontier market countries generally have smaller economies and less developed capital markets or legal, regulatory and political systems than traditional emerging market countries. As a result, the risks of investing in emerging market countries are magnified in frontier market countries.
FUTURES STRATEGY RISK (KraneShares Global Carbon ETF) — The use of futures contracts is subject to special risk considerations. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts include: (a) an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the reference asset and the price of the futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a futures contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the inability to predict correctly the direction of market prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors; and (e) if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities or financial instruments from its portfolio to meet daily variation margin requirements, which may lead to the Fund selling securities or financial instruments at a loss.
As a futures contract the Fund owns approaches its settlement date, the Fund may sell that futures contract and reinvest the proceeds in a similar contract with a more distant settlement date. This process is referred to as “rolling” a futures contract. The successful use of such a strategy depends upon the Adviser’s skill and experience. Although the Fund will attempt to roll from an expiring futures contract to another contract that the Adviser believes will generate the greatest yield for the Fund, the Fund nevertheless may incur a cost to “roll” the contract. In a commodity futures market where current month expiring contracts trade at a lower price than next month’s contract, a situation referred to as “contango,” then, absent the impact of the overall movement in commodity prices, the Fund may experience an adverse impact because it would be selling less expensive contracts and buying more expense contracts. In the event of a prolonged period of contango, and absent the impact of rising or falling commodity prices, there could be a significant negative impact on the Fund when it “rolls” its futures contract positions.
GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS RISK — The Funds’ investments will be focused in a particular country, countries, or region and therefore a Fund may be susceptible to adverse market, political, regulatory, and geographic events affecting that country, countries or region. Such geographic focus also may subject the Fund to a higher degree of volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
HIGH PORTFOLIO TURNOVER RISK (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index
166
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF and KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — The Fund may incur high turnover rates, which may increase the Fund’s brokerage commission costs and negatively impact the Fund’s performance. Such portfolio turnover also may generate net short-term capital gains.
HONG KONG RISK (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China ESG Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — The economy of Hong Kong has few natural resources and any fluctuation or shortage in the commodity markets could have a significant adverse effect on the Hong Kong economy. Hong Kong is also heavily dependent on international trade and finance. Additionally, the continuation and success of the current political, economic, legal and social policies of Hong Kong is dependent on and subject to the control of the Chinese government. China may change its policies regarding Hong Kong at any time. Any such change may adversely affect market conditions and the performance of Chinese and Hong Kong issuers and, thus, the value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio.
INVESTMENT IN INVESTMENT COMPANIES RISK — The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including those advised, sponsored or otherwise serviced by the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and/or their affiliates. The Fund will indirectly be exposed to the risks of investments by such funds. Moreover, the Fund will incur its pro rata share of the underlying fund’s expenses. The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are subject to conflicts of interest in allocating Fund assets to investment companies that are advised, sponsored or otherwise serviced by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and/or their affiliates. To the extent that the Fund invests in investment companies or other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered pursuant to the 1940 Act, including foreign investment companies, it will not enjoy the protections of the U.S. law.
IPO RISK (KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor Index ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — Securities issued in IPOs have no trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile. At any particular time or from time to time, the Fund may not be able to invest in securities issued in IPOs, or invest to the extent desired, because, for example, only a small portion (if any) of the securities being offered in an IPO may be available to the Fund. In addition, as the Fund increases in size, the impact of IPOs on the Fund’s performance will generally decrease.
LARGE CAPITALIZATION COMPANY RISK (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares
167
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — Investments in large capitalization companies may go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions and may underperform other market segments. Some large capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. As such, returns on investments in stocks of large capitalization companies could trail the returns on investments in stocks of small and mid-capitalization companies.
LIQUIDITY RISK — Certain of the Funds’ investments are subject to liquidity risk, which exists when an investment is or becomes difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time or price. If a transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is or becomes illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate, which may cause the Funds to suffer significant losses and difficulties in meeting redemptions. If a number of securities held by the Funds halt trading, it may have a cascading effect and cause the Funds to halt trading. Volatility in market prices will increase the risk of the Funds being subject to a trading halt.
MANAGEMENT RISK — (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China ESG Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — Because the Fund may not fully replicate the Underlying Index and may hold less than the total number of securities in the Underlying Index, the Fund is subject to management risk. This is the risk that Krane or its subadviser’s security selection process, which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results.
ACTIVE INVESTMENT RISK (KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bold ETF and KraneShares Global Carbon Fund ETF) — The Fund is actively-managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. The Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding investments, interest rates, inflation, and other factors may not successfully achieve the Fund’s investment objective given actual market conditions.
MARKET RISK — The values of the Fund’s holdings could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve, and/or other government actors could cause volatility in global financial markets, negative sentiment and higher levels of Fund redemptions, which could have a negative impact on the Fund and could result in losses. Geopolitical and other risks, including environmental and public health risks may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Changes in value may be temporary or may last for extended periods. Further, the Fund is susceptible to the risk that certain investments may be difficult or impossible to sell at a favorable time or price. Market developments
168
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
may also cause the Fund’s investments to become less liquid and subject to erratic price movements. Such market developments may also cause the Fund to encounter difficulties in timely honoring redemptions, especially if market events cause an increased incidence of shareholder redemptions.
MID-CAPITALIZATION COMPANY RISK (KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF and KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor Index ETF) — Investing in the securities of medium capitalization companies involves greater risk and the possibility of greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization companies. Since medium-sized companies may have limited operating histories, product lines and financial resources, the securities of these companies may be less liquid and more volatile. They may also be sensitive to (expected) changes in interest rates and earnings.
NON-DIVERSIFIED FUND RISK (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion ETF, KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China ESG Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares Global Carbon ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — Because the Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater portion of its assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single portfolio holding could cause greater fluctuations in the Fund’s share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a single portfolio holding or a relatively small number of portfolio holdings to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.
PASSIVE INVESTMENT RISK (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China ESG Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — The Fund is not actively managed, does not seek to “beat” the Underlying Index and does not take temporary defensive positions when markets decline. Therefore, the Fund may not sell a security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector. There is no guarantee that the Underlying Index will create the desired exposure. The Underlying Index may not contain an appropriate mix of securities, but the Fund’s investment objective and principal investment strategies impose limits on the Fund’s ability to invest in securities not included in the Underlying Index.
REGULATORY RISK (KraneShares Global Carbon) — The Fund is subject to the risk that a change in U.S. law and related regulations will impact the way the Fund operates, increase the particular costs of the Fund’s operations and/or change the competitive landscape. Additional legislative or regulatory changes could occur that may materially and adversely affect the Fund.
169
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Regulatory risk related to changes in regulation and enforcement of cap and trade programs could also adversely affect market behavior. If fines or other penalties for non-compliance are not enforced, incentives to purchase GHG credits will deteriorate, which could result in a decline in the price of emissions credits and a drop in the value of the Fund. In addition, as cap and trade markets develop, new regulation with respect to these markets may arise, which could have a negative effect on the value and liquidity of the cap and trade markets and the Fund.
RQFII AND QFII LICENSE RISK (KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion ETF) — Krane may choose to use a RQFII or QFII license and quota in the future to invest directly in RMB Bonds. The RQFII rules were adopted relatively recently and are novel. Chinese regulators may revise or discontinue the RQFII program at any time. The Fund’s investments may be limited to the quota obtained by Krane in its capacity as a RQFII or QFII on behalf of the Fund. There is no guarantee that the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) will ultimately grant a RQFII or QFII license or quota for the Fund, and the application process may take a significant amount of time. In addition, a reduction or elimination of the quota may have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives. The Fund may need to rely exclusively on investments through Bond Connect, the CIBM Program or the Exchange-Traded Bond Market to purchase RMB Bonds.
SECURITIES LENDING RISK — To the extent a Fund lends its securities, it may be subject to the following risks: (1) borrowers of the Funds’ securities typically provide collateral in the form of cash that is reinvested in securities; (2) the securities in which the collateral is invested may not perform sufficiently to cover the return collateral payments owed to borrowers; (3) delays may occur in the recovery of securities from borrowers, which could interfere with the Funds’ ability to vote proxies or to settle transactions; and (4) there is the risk of possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially.
Small and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — Investing in the securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk and the possibility of greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization companies and more established companies. Since small and medium-sized companies may have limited operating histories, product lines and financial resources, the securities of these companies may lack sufficient market liquidity and can be sensitive to expected changes in interest rates, borrowing costs and earnings.
SOUTH KOREA RISK (KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF and KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF) — The Fund may be susceptible to adverse market, political, regulatory and geographic events affecting South Korea. The South Korean economy is dependent on the economies of other Asian countries, especially China and Southeast Asia, and the United States as key trading partners. Furthermore, South Korea’s economy may be significantly affected by currency fluctuations and increasing competition from Asia’s other low-cost emerging economies. Also, tensions with North Korea could escalate and lead to further uncertainty in the political and economic climate of South Korea.
SOVERIGN AND QUASI-SOVEREIGN DEBT RISK (KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion ETF and KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF) — The governmental authority that controls the repayment of sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt may be unwilling or unable to repay the principal
170
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
and/or interest when due including due to the extent of its foreign reserves, the availability of sufficient foreign exchange ,the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a whole the debtor’s policy towards the International Monetary Fund, and the political constraints to which the debtor is subject. If an issuer of government or quasi-government debt defaults on payments of principal and/or interest, the Fund may have limited legal recourse against the issuer and/or guarantor. During periods of economic uncertainty, the market prices of sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds may be more volatile and result in losses. In the past, certain governments of emerging market countries have declared themselves unable to meet their financial obligations on a timely basis, which has resulted in losses for investors.
Stock Connect Program Risk (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China ESG Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — The Stock Connect Programs are subject to daily and aggregate quota limitations, and an investor cannot purchase and sell the same security on the same trading day, which may restrict the Fund’s ability to invest in A-Shares through the Programs and to enter into or exit trades on a timely basis. The Shanghai and Shenzhen markets may be open at a time when the participating exchanges located outside of mainland China are not active, with the result that prices of A-Shares may fluctuate at times when the Fund is unable to add to or exit its positions. Only certain China A-Shares are eligible to be accessed through the Stock Connect Programs. Such securities may lose their eligibility at any time, in which case they could be sold but could no longer be purchased through the Stock Connect Programs. Because the Stock Connect Programs are still evolving, the actual effect on the market for trading A-Shares with the introduction of large numbers of foreign investors is still relatively unknown. Further, regulations or restrictions, such as limitations on redemptions or suspension of trading, may adversely impact the program. There is no guarantee that the participating exchanges will continue to support the Stock Connect Programs in the future.
SUBSIDIARY INVESTMENT RISK (KraneShares Global Carbon ETF) — By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. Since the Subsidiary is organized under the law of the Cayman Islands and is not registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Fund will not receive all of the protections offered to shareholders of registered investment companies. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as intended, which may negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
Tax Risk — In order to qualify for the favorable tax treatment generally available to regulated investment companies, a Fund must satisfy certain income, asset diversification and distribution requirements each year. If a Fund were to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company, it would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation, and distributions to its shareholders would not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income, which would adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
171
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Tracking Error Risk (KraneShares CICC China Leaders 100 Index ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF, KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Healthcare Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI China ESG Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares CICC China 5G & Semiconductor ETF, KraneShares CICC China Consumer Leaders Index ETF, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF and KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF) — The Fund’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the Underlying Index. This may be due to, among other factors, the Fund holding cash under certain circumstances in lieu of Underlying Index securities, such as when the Fund is subject to delays converting U.S. dollars into a foreign currency to purchase foreign securities. The Fund may not be able to invest in certain components of the Underlying Index due to legal restrictions imposed by foreign governments or other regulatory reasons. In addition, securities included in the Underlying Index may be suspended from trading. To the extent that the Fund employs a representative sampling strategy or calculates its NAV based on fair value prices and the value of the Underlying Index is based on securities’ closing prices on local foreign markets, the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index may be adversely affected. Changes in currency exchange rates or delays in converting currencies may also cause tracking error.
U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS RISK (KraneShares Global Carbon ETF) — Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. Additionally, market prices and yields of securities supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or other countries may decline or be negative for short or long periods of time.
VALUATION RISK — Independent market quotations for the non-U.S. securities held by the Funds may not be readily available and such securities may be fair valued. Fair valuation is subjective and different market participants may assign different prices to the same security. As a result, there is a risk that the Funds may not be able to sell a security at the price assigned to the security by the Fund. In addition, the securities in which the Funds invest may trade on days that the Funds do not price their shares; as a result, the value of Fund shares may change on days when investors cannot purchase or sell their holdings.
9. OTHER
At September 30, 2021, all shares issued by the Funds were in Creation Unit aggregations to Authorized Participants through primary market transactions (e.g., transactions directly with the Funds). However, the individual shares that make up those Creation Units are traded on the NYSE Arca Exchange (e.g., secondary market transactions). Some of those individual shares have been bought and sold by persons that are not Authorized Participants. Each Authorized Participant has entered into an agreement with the Funds’ Distributor.

10. INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
Effective November 28, 2021, the name of the KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF changed to KraneShares Asia Pacific High Income Bond ETF (the “Fund”). The ticker of the Fund remained KHYB. In addition, the 80% policy changed to investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities of issuers located in the Asia-Pacific region and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund’s investment objective is revised to reflect the Fund seeks to provide a total return that, before fees and expenses, exceeds that of the JP Morgan Asia Credit Index (JACI) Non-Investment Grade Corporate Index (the “Underlying Index”) over a complete market cycle.
Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of the date the financial statements were issued.
173
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Trust, on behalf of its separate series (“Funds”), has established a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). The Program is designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet requests to redeem its shares without significant dilution of remaining shareholders. The Board has designated a cross-functional committee, which is composed of Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane”) compliance and capital markets personnel and the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, to administer the Program (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator is responsible for implementing and monitoring the Program to assess and review, on an ongoing basis, the Funds’ liquidity risk.
The Program includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of the Funds’ liquidity risk factors and the periodic classification (or re-classification, as necessary,) of the Funds’ investments into buckets (highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid and illiquid) based on the number of days that it is reasonably expected to convert them into cash, in current market conditions, without significantly changing their value. In conducting its assessment, the Program Administrator utilizes information about each Fund’s investment strategy, its flows, the efficacy of its arbitrage mechanism (as indicated by the premiums and/or discounts and bid-ask spreads of its shares), the characteristics of the Fund’s shareholders and the Fund’s ability to honor redemptions in kind.
At a meeting of the Board in May 2021, the Program Administrator provided the Board with a written report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”). In the Annual Report, the Program Administrator confirmed that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and that the Program has been implemented and operated effectively. The Program Administrator is not aware of any weakness in the design and/or effectiveness of implementation of the Program and no material changes to the Program were proposed. In addition, the Program Administrator has concluded that each Fund investment strategy continues to be appropriate for an open-end fund. There were no material violations of the Program during the reporting period. At subsequent quarterly meetings of the Board, the Program Administrator provided the Board with a summary of each Fund’s liquidity profile during the preceding quarter and the operation of the Program with respect thereto.

At a meeting held on May 27-28, 2021, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of KraneShares Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), approved renewal of:

The KBA Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the KRBN Sub-Advisory Agreement, are referred to collectively herein as the “Sub-Advisory Agreements,” and the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Agreements.”
In advance of the meeting, and at a separate meeting of the Independent Trustees in executive session held on May 27, 2021, the Board received and considered information provided by Krane in response to the Independent Trustees’ written requests relating to the Board’s consideration of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each of the Funds. The Board also considered information provided by each Sub-Adviser in response to separate written requests directed to each Sub-Adviser.
The Board considered that its evaluation process with respect to Krane and each Sub-Adviser is an ongoing one, and the Board considers information at each of its regularly scheduled meetings related to, among other matters, the services provided to each Fund by Krane and (as applicable)
175
Approval of the Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
a Sub-Adviser. The Board also receives additional information from Krane outside of the regularly scheduled Board meetings, including at executive sessions held by the Independent Trustees.
In evaluating the Agreements, the Board considered, among other matters: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each Fund by Krane and to each of KBA and KRBN, by their respective Sub-Adviser; (2) the compensation paid under each Agreement; (3) the costs of the services provided by Krane and the profitability of Krane with respect to its relationship with the Funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale could be realized as the Funds grow and whether the unitary fee charged under the Advisory Agreement will enable investors in the Funds to share in any such economies of scale; and (5) other benefits Krane and the Sub-Advisers receive from their respective relationship with the Funds.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
Based on written and oral reports received by the Board prior to and at the May 27, 2021 executive session of the Independent Trustees and the May 27-28, 2021 meeting of the Board, the Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the overall services provided by Krane and the Sub-Advisers under the Agreements. The Board considered the responsibilities of Krane with respect to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement, including its obligation to oversee the services provided by the various Sub-Advisers, as applicable. The Board also discussed the nature, quality and extent of services provided by Bosera under the KBA Sub-Advisory Agreement and CFP under the KRBN Sub-Advisory Agreement.
The Advisory Agreement
• The Board took note of the qualifications, background and responsibilities of Krane’s senior personnel that provide services to the Funds managed directly by Krane and also considered the expertise of Krane personnel charged with oversight of the Sub-Advisers.
• The Board recognized that Krane has invested and continues to invest significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and the Funds. The Board noted that Krane, together with the Sub-Advisers (as applicable), is responsible for assessing the market appeal and the investment strategy of each Fund.
• The Board considered that Krane is responsible for arranging service providers for the Trust.
• The Board also considered that Krane has established a securities lending program for the benefit of certain Funds.
• The Board noted that Krane continues to evaluate its existing compliance and operational staff, and that Krane continually seeks to retain qualified and experienced staff in these areas and to invest in additional resources as its business continues to grow.
• The Board considered the financial condition of Krane and noted that Krane is part of a larger family of investment management firms with significant resources.
The KBA Sub-Advisory Agreement
• The Board took note of the significant experience of KBA’s portfolio management team with respect to investments in China and access to the A Share market.
• The Board considered the continued development of Bosera’s compliance function and its long-term relationship with the Adviser.
176
Approval of the Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
The KRBN Sub-Advisory Agreement
• The Board took note of the expertise of CFP’s principals with respect to carbon credits and developing carbon allocation markets.
• The Board noted that CFP is a non-discretionary sub-adviser to KRBN and considered the relative roles of personnel at both Krane and CFP with respect to management of KRBN and its wholly-owned subsidiary.
Investment Performance
The Board noted that it considers the performance of each operational Fund at each regular meeting of the Board. At such meetings, Krane presents information regarding the performance of each operational Fund versus an identified Morningstar peer group. At the Meeting, the Board considered each Fund’s performance versus its broad Morningstar peer group, as well as a select group of competitors identified by Krane. The Board recognized that many of the Funds are in the same Morningstar peer group because they have significant exposure to China, notwithstanding the meaningful differences in the Funds’ underlying indexes and investment strategies. The Board discussed the limitations of comparisons versus such a large and undifferentiated peer group and considered that the Funds offer shareholders access to unique investment opportunities, particularly in China.
The Board noted that several of the Funds are actively managed and it considered that the performance of each such Fund relative to its respective peer group is an appropriate measurement of performance. The Board noted that most of the actively-managed Funds are performing well and their performance is above the median of their respective peer groups.
The Board noted that most of the Funds track the performance of an underlying index and considered that the Board reviews the tracking error of such Funds at each meeting of the Board. The Board considered that, based on the information presented at the Meeting, the performance of most of the Funds is reasonably correlated to that of each Fund’s underlying index. The Board noted the tracking error of certain Funds exceeded 3% for the one-year period ended March 31, 2021 and noted the following reasons for such dispersion:
• KFYP: primarily as a result of the Fund selling off certain index holdings as a result of Presidential Executive Order 13959 (Addressing the Threat From Securities Investments That Finance Certain Companies of the People’s Republic of China) (“the “Executive Order”);
• KALL: as a result of a sampling approach to tracking the performance of the underlying index and adjustments to the portfolio as a result of the Executive Order;
• KGRN: resulting from a change in the methodology used by the underlying index provider; and
• KHYB and KEMX: as a result of following a sampling approach to tracking the performance of the underlying index.
The Board noted its discussions with Krane related to other factors, such as the use of fair value pricing by the Funds and the Funds’ asset inflows and outflows, which affect the performance of the Funds but not their underlying indices. The Board considered that these factors can be expected to affect the Funds’ tracking error.
177
Approval of the Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
Compensation
The Board considered that pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Krane has entered into a unitary advisory fee arrangement for each of the Funds. Under the unitary fee arrangement, Krane is responsible for paying most of the Funds’ expenses, including those of the Funds’ principal service providers and Sub-Adviser (if applicable). The Board considered the information provided by Krane regarding the amounts it pays to the Funds’ service providers under the unitary fee arrangement. The Board reviewed and considered the fees paid by each Fund in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided or obtained by Krane. The Board also considered that Krane has imposed fee waivers on certain Funds and considered the net expense ratios of the currently operational Funds compared to those of their peer groups.
The Board noted that: (1) the management fees paid by all of the Funds except KESG are higher than the median management fee within their Morningstar peer groups; (2) the total expense ratios of KBA, KALL, KURE, KESG, KFVG and KEMX are equal to or lower than the median expense ratio for each such Fund’s Morningstar peer groups; and (3) all other Funds have total expense ratios above the median expense ratio for each such Fund’s Morningstar peer groups. The Board considered that the Morningstar peer groups for the Funds do not reflect the unique exposure and thematic approach of the Funds and considered that the Funds’ total expense ratios are generally consistent with those of their direct peers. The Board noted Krane’s representation that such Funds offers unique investment exposure for investors in U.S. registered funds. The Board also considered the effect of each Fund’s assets under management on its net expense ratio.
The Board took notice of the management fees and total expense ratios of the following Funds, which are in the top quartile when compared to each such Fund’s Morningstar peer group.
• OBOR. The Board considered that OBOR’s Morningstar peer group is the US Fund Infrastructure category, although OBOR has more than 80% of its portfolio invested in emerging markets. The Board noted OBOR’s fees and total expenses also exceed the median in the US Diversified Emerging Markets peer group. The Board considered that OBOR provides unique access to particularized infrastructure investments in certain emerging and frontier markets that are part of China’s “one belt one road” initiative, and that such access is not otherwise widely available in a U.S. registered fund.
• KSTR. The Board considered that KSTR provides access to companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market, and that it is the first STAR Market ETF to be listed outside of China. The Board also noted that KSTR requires a qualified foreign institutional investor (QFII) license to directly trade on the STAR Market.
• KRBN. The Board considered that KRBN offers unique access to carbon credit futures covering cap-and-trade allowances on a global basis.
• KHYB. The Board considered that the Morningstar peer group for KHYB is the U.S. Emerging Markets Bond category, but that KHYB is invested primarily in high-yield bonds in China. The Board noted the expertise necessary to manage this portfolio and the engagement of a sub-adviser with such expertise.
• KMED. The Board noted that KMED’s Morningstar peer group contains broad-based emerging markets ETFs, whereas KMED is a thematic offering focused on emerging markets healthcare.
178
Approval of the Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
• KARS. The Board noted that KARS is a thematic fund focused on investments in the electric vehicle sector and future mobility technology sector in both developed and developing economies, including China. The Board considered that KARS’ Morningstar peer group is more broadly focused on the industrial sector.
• KGRN. The Board considered that KGRN provides investors with unique exposure to clean technology companies in China, and that its Morningstar category is a broad-based regional peer group.
• KWEB. The Board considered that KWEB provides investors with unique exposure to internet companies in China, and that its Morningstar category is a broad-based regional peer group.
Although the Board received information regarding the fees paid to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board noted the arm’s-length nature of the relationship between Krane and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the negotiation of sub-advisory fee rates. The Board also considered that Krane (and not the Funds) pays the Sub-Adviser’s fees.
Costs and Profitability
The Board noted that Krane continues to waive certain fees for some of the Funds. The Board also considered that although Krane is profitable, it was not making a profit from its relationship with all of the Funds under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered Krane’s commitment to the success of the Funds and the use of a unitary fee structure under which Krane bears the risk if certain of the Funds’ expenses increase or if a Fund’s assets fail to increase to a level sufficient to cover such expenses. The Board also considered that Krane has established a securities lending program for the benefit of certain of the Funds, and that fees earned by Krane from such Funds can affect the profitability of such Funds.
The Board considered the effect of each Fund’s assets under management on the potential profitability of such Fund under the unitary fee structure in light of the costs associated with the personnel, systems and equipment necessary to manage the Funds and to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements of the SEC and other regulatory bodies, as well as other expenses Krane pays in accordance with the Advisory Agreement.
The Board did not consider information regarding the costs of services provided or profits realized by the Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Funds, noting the arm’s-length nature of the relationship between Krane and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the negotiation of the sub-advisory fee rate on behalf of each Fund. The Board considered that Krane, and not the Funds, is responsible for paying the sub-advisory fees under each Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Other Benefits
The Board considered the extent to which Krane would derive ancillary benefits from the Funds’ operations, including benefits to Krane as a result of its ability to use the assets of certain Funds to engage in soft dollar transactions and the existence of a securities lending program for certain Funds. The Board also noted that Krane and certain of its executives hold minority ownership interests in CFP, and that they would therefore benefit from the success and profitability of any Fund sub-advised by CFP. The Board did not observe any other potential benefits to be realized by Krane from its relationship with the Funds.
179
Approval of the Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
Economies of Scale
The Board considered that each Fund is managed by Krane pursuant to unitary fee advisory agreement, pursuant to which Krane bears all of the Fund’s expenses until it gathers sufficient assets under management to, in effect, pay its own costs. As a result, the Board observed, Krane typically subsidizes each Fund for a period of time following its inception. The Board also considered that Krane continues to reinvest a significant portion of its profits in its business, including through the addition of compliance and operations personnel, and that any economies of scale are shared with the Funds in this manner. The Board determined to continue monitoring for potential economies of scale, but concluded that, at present, they were not a material factor for the Board to consider in connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreement.
Conclusion
The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors in their review of the Agreements. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards and judicial precedent applicable to its consideration of the Agreements. The Board noted that, as in the past, it will continue to monitor the Funds at its regular meetings, during executive sessions of the Independent Trustees and outside of the Board meetings. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the advisory arrangements, as outlined in the Agreements, were reasonable in light of the factors considered by the Board.
KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF
At a meeting on May 27-28, 2021, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of KraneShares Trust (“Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), approved changes to the name and the strategy of KraneShares Asia Pacific High Yield Bond ETF (“KHYB”). In connection with such changes, the Board also considered a new investment sub-advisory agreement (“Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane”), on behalf of KHYB, and Nikko Asset Management Americas Inc. (“Nikko”).
In advance of the meeting, and at a separate meeting of the Independent Trustees in executive session, the Board received and considered information provided by Nikko in response to the Independent Trustees’ written requests related to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also noted that the Trust’s chief compliance officer (“CCO”) received and reviewed information about Nikko’s compliance program, and that the Board received a report from the CCO regarding such compliance program. The Board noted that its evaluation process with respect to KHYB is an ongoing one and, as a result, the Board will consider information at each of its regularly scheduled meeting related to, among other matters, the services provided by Nikko to KHYB.
In evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other matters: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Nikko; (2) the proposed compensation to be paid to Nikko under the Sub-Advisory Agreement; (3) the estimated costs of the services to be provided by Nikko and Nikko’s profitability expectations with respect to its services to KHYB; (4) the extent to which economies of scale could be realized by Nikko as KHYB grows and whether investors will share in the benefits of economies of scale; and (5) other benefits Nikko anticipates it may receive from its relationship with KHYB.

Approval of the Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services
Based on the written and oral reports received prior to and at the May 27, 2021 executive session of the Independent Trustees and the May 28, 2021 meeting of the Board, the Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the overall services to be provided by Nikko under the Sub Advisory Agreement. Among other things, the Board considered that it had to the opportunity to meet with key investment personnel from Nikko and that it received information related to such personnel and their experience, as well as Nikko’s other resources. The Board took note of the qualifications, background and responsibilities of Nikko’s senior personnel who will provide services to KHYB, including their significant experience investing in the Asian credit markets. The Board also noted that Nikko is part of a global asset management with significant financial and other resources that it can access in connection with managing KHYB. The Board considered Nikko’s proprietary investment framework that it will use in connection with the active management of KHYB’s portfolio and noted that Nikko’s portfolio managers currently successfully manage a number of other accounts.
Investment Performance
The Board noted that the historical performance of KHYB is not relevant to consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, given the change in KHYB’s benchmark, sub-adviser and investment strategy. They considered, however, the performance achieved by the Nikko team that will be managing KHYB, both across all accounts with a substantially similar investment strategy as well as by a pooled vehicle pursuing a substantially similar strategy. The Board considered that, once the change in KHYB’s strategy is implemented, it will receive regular reports regarding the performance of KHYB, including relative to peer funds.
Compensation
Although the Board received information regarding the sub-advisory fees proposed to be paid to Nikko under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board noted that Krane (and not the Fund) will pay Nikko’s fees under the terms of a unitary fee arrangement between Krane and the Trust, on behalf of KHYB. The Board also considered the arm’s-length nature of the relationship between Krane and Nikko with respect to the negotiation of such sub-advisory fees.
Costs and Profitability
Although the Board reviewed information from Nikko regarding its likely costs and profitability of providing services to KHYB, the Board noted that Krane (and not the Fund) will pay Nikko’s fees under the terms of a unitary fee arrangement between Krane and the Trust, on behalf of KHYB. In this regard, the Board considered the arm’s-length nature of the relationship between Krane and Nikko with respect to the negotiation of the sub-advisory fee rates. Under the circumstances, the Board considered Nikko’s costs and profitability related to KHYB not to be a material factor in its consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Other Benefits
The Board considered whether Nikko would derive ancillary benefits from KHYB’s operations. The Board did not observe any potential ancillary benefits to be realized by Nikko from its relationship with KHYB.
181
Approval of the Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
Economies of Scale
The Board noted that the fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreement will be paid by Krane under the terms of the unitary fee arrangement, and not by KHYB. As a result, the Board determined that to the extent Nikko experiences economies of scale as KHYB’s assets increase, they will not affect the fees paid directly by KHYB. Further, the Board noted the arm’s-length nature of the relationship between Krane and Nikko with respect to the negotiation of the sub-advisory fee rates. Based on these and other considerations, the Board considered economies of scale not to be a material factor in its consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Conclusion
The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance in considering the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to its consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Independent Trustees met in executive session with Independent Trustee counsel to address such standards and recent developments in this area of the law, to review material provided by Nikkoo, and to consider proposed changes to KHYB’s investment strategy, sub-adviser and benchmark. The Board noted that it will continue to monitor the performance of KHYB at its regular meetings, during executive sessions of the Independent Trustees, and outside of the Board meetings. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the sub-advisory arrangements, as outlined in the Sub-Advisory Agreement, were reasonable.
KraneShares Hang Seng Tech Index ETF
At a meeting held on November 19, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of KraneShares Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the existing investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane”) and the Trust on behalf of the following separate series of the Trust, KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF (the “Fund”).
In advance of the meeting, and at a separate meeting of the Independent Trustees in executive session held on November 17, 2020, the Board received and considered information provided by Krane in response to the Independent Trustees’ written requests related to the Board’s consideration of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Board noted that it will consider information at each of its regularly scheduled meetings related to, among other matters, the services provided by Krane. The Board also receives additional information from Krane outside of the regularly scheduled Board meetings and at executive sessions held by the Independent Trustees. As a result, the Board considered that its evaluation process with respect to Krane will be an ongoing one.
In evaluating the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other matters: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund; (2) the proposed compensation to be paid under the Advisory Agreement; (3) the estimated costs of the services to be provided by Krane and the profitability expectations of Krane with respect to their relationship with the Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale could be realized as the Fund grows and whether the unitary fee charged under the Advisory Agreement will enable investors in the Fund to share in any such economies of scale; and (5) other benefits Krane and anticipate they may receive from their respective relationship with the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
Based on written and oral reports received by the Board prior to and at the November 17, 2020 executive session of the Independent Trustees and the November 19, 2020 meeting of the Board, the Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the overall services to be provided by Krane and under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the responsibilities of Krane under the Advisory Agreement.
The Board took note of the qualifications, background and responsibilities of Krane’s senior personnel that provide services to the Fund. The Board recognized that Krane invested significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and the Fund, assessing the market appeal and the investment strategy of the Fund, and arranging service providers for the Trust. The Board considered that Krane established a securities lending program for the benefit of the Fund. The Board noted that Krane continually evaluates its existing compliance and operational staff, and that it has consistently sought to retain qualified and experienced staff in these areas as its business has grown. The Board also considered the financial condition of Krane and its current ownership structure. The Board noted that Krane is part of a larger family of investment management firms with significant resources, including administrative resources utilized by Krane.
The Board considered that Krane is responsible for establishing and monitoring the investment program for the Fund, which is managed directly by Krane. The Board noted the time and effort spent by Krane to develop the Fund’s investment programs and to continually monitor the Fund’s performance.
Investment Performance
The Board noted that, because the Fund had not yet commenced investment operations, they have no investment performance. Once the Fund commences operations, however, the Board noted that it would receive regular reports regarding the performance of the Fund relative to a broad Morningstar peer group, as well as a select group of competitors identified by Krane. The Board also considered that at its regular meetings it will receive information regarding the tracking error of the Fund against the performance of an identified underlying index for the Fund. The Board considered the proposed underlying index for each of the Fund. The Board discussed its experience with Krane’s management of existing operational series of the Trust that pursue different investment strategies.
Compensation
The Board considered that pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Krane will enter into a unitary advisory fee arrangement for the Fund. Under the unitary fee arrangement, Krane will be responsible for paying most of the expenses incurred by the Fund, including those of the Fund’s principal service providers. The Board reviewed and considered the fees proposed to be paid by the Fund in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided or obtained by Krane. The Board noted Krane’s representation that the Fund offers unique investment exposure for shareholders and potential investors in registered funds.
Costs and Profitability
The Board considered the estimated cost of Krane’s services with respect to the Fund. The Board noted that, because the Fund had not yet launched, it was difficult to estimate how profitable they would be to Krane. The Independent Trustees received information from Krane regarding its financial stability and its profitability and discussed with Krane’s management how launching the Fund would
183
Approval of the Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (concluded)
likely impact such profitability. The Board considered information previously provided by Krane regarding the cost of its services and its profitability with respect to the existing operational series of the Trust. The Board noted Krane’s commitment to the Fund, including its proposal to implement a unitary fee structure under which it will bear many of the Fund’s expenses.
Other Benefits
The Board considered the extent to which Krane could derive ancillary benefits from KTEC’s operations, including benefits to Krane as a result of its ability to use KTEC’s assets to engage in soft dollar transactions.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether Krane would realize economies of scale with respect to its services to the Fund as they grow larger, including the extent to which this would be reflected in the level of fees to be paid by the Fund to Krane. The Board noted that none of the proposed advisory fees for the Fund include breakpoints, and that it was not possible—before the commencement of investment operations—to accurately evaluate potential economies of scale. The Board also noted that Krane continues to reinvest a portion of its profits in its business, including through the addition of compliance and operations personnel, and that any economies of scale could be shared with the Fund in this manner. Based on these and other considerations, including that the Fund are newly organized, the Board considered economies of scale not to be a material factor in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement.
Conclusion
The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors in their review of the Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards and judicial precedent applicable to its consideration of the Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that, as in the past, it will continue to monitor the Fund at its regular meetings, during executive sessions of the Independent Trustees and outside of the Board meetings. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the advisory arrangements, as outlined in the Advisory Agreement were reasonable in light of the factors considered by the Board.

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage expenses; and (2) ongoing costs. All Exchange Traded Funds (“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, administrative services, commissions, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. In addition, a shareholder is responsible for brokerage fees as a result of their investment in the Fund. 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 are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (April 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021).
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses 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 (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, including brokerage commissions on the purchases and sale of Fund shares. Therefore, the expense examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per Share at which the Funds issue and redeem Shares to Authorized Participants. It is calculated in accordance with the policies described in Note 2 in Notes to Financial Statements. The “Market Price” of the Funds generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Funds are listed for trading, as of the time that the Funds’ NAV is calculated. The Funds’ Market Price may be at, above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Funds will fluctuate with changes in the market value of their holdings. The Market Price of the Funds will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAV, as well as market supply and demand of Fund Shares.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of the Funds on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that the Funds are trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that the Funds are trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. Shareholders may pay more than NAV when they buy Fund Shares and receive less than NAV when they sell those Shares, because Shares are bought and sold at Market Price.
Further information regarding premiums and discounts is available on the Funds’ website at http://kraneshares.com. The premium and discount information contained on the website represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
