Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended August 31, 2022. Annual reports
help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected
performance. For additional investment insights, please visit avantisinvestors.com.

Mounting Market Challenges Hampered Performance

Asset class performance weakened dramatically during the funds' fiscal year. In late 2021,
generally upbeat economic activity and corporate earnings supported gains for most U.S. and
global stock indices. Returns generally remained positive despite rapidly rising inflation and waning
central bank support—factors that had started to weigh on fixed-income indices.

By early 2022, the market climate shifted quickly. Inflation, which was already at multiyear highs,
rose to levels last seen in the early 1980s. Massive fiscal and monetary support unleashed during
the pandemic was partly to blame. In addition, escalating energy prices, supply chain breakdowns
and labor market shortages further aggravated inflation in the U.S. and other developed markets.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February also exacerbated global inflationary pressures.

The Bank of England launched its inflation-fighting campaign in December and continued to lift
rates through period-end. The Federal Reserve responded to surging inflation in March, launching
an aggressive rate-hike campaign and ending its asset purchase program. Policymakers indicated
taming inflation remains their priority, even as the U.S. economy contracted in 2022’s first two
quarters. Facing record-high inflation in the eurozone, the European Central Bank in July embarked
on its first rate-hike effort in 11 years.

The combination of sharply elevated inflation, tighter monetary policy, geopolitical strife and weak
economies triggered sharp market volatility and fueled global recession fears. Against this
backdrop, most U.S. and global stock and bond indices declined sharply for the reporting period.

Staying Disciplined in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of high inflation,
rising interest rates and economic uncertainty. In addition, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
complicates an increasingly tense geopolitical backdrop and threatens Europe’s winter energy
supply. We will continue to monitor the broad backdrop and its influence on financial markets.

We appreciate your confidence in us during these extraordinary times. Our firm has a long history
of helping clients weather unpredictable markets, and we’re confident we will continue to meet
today’s challenges.

Sincerely,

Performance
Avantis Responsible U.S. Equity ETF (AVSU)
Total Returns as of August 31, 2022 Since Inception Inception Date
Net Asset Value -7.32% 3/15/2022
Market Price -7.28% 3/15/2022
Russell 3000 Index -6.58%
Market price is determined using the bid/ask midpoint at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, when the net asset value (NAV) is typically calculated. Market performance does not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. NAV prices are used to calculate market price performance prior to the date when the fund first traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc.


Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
0.15%
The total annual fund operating expenses shown is as stated in the fund’s prospectus current as of the date of this report. The prospectus may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period, includes acquired fund fees and expenses, and, if applicable, does not include fee waivers or expense reimbursements.



























Data presented reflect past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. Data assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, and none of the charts reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-833-928-2684 or visit avantisinvestors.com. For additional information about the fund, please consult the prospectus.

Portfolio Commentary
Portfolio Managers: Eduardo Repetto, Mitch Firestein, Daniel Ong, Ted Randall and Matthew Dubin

Fund Strategy

Avantis Responsible U.S. Equity ETF seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diverse group of U.S. companies across market sectors, industry groups and market capitalizations.

The fund limits its investable universe of companies by screening out companies that do not meet certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. The fund uses third-party commercial data sources and scoring systems as well as proprietary evaluations to decide which securities to exclude due to ESG concerns. Within the investable universe, the fund seeks securities of companies that it expects to have higher returns. It places an enhanced emphasis on securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations and securities of companies it defines as high profitability or value companies. Conversely, the fund seeks to underweight or exclude securities it expects to have lower returns. These include securities of large companies with lower levels of profitability and higher prices relative to their book values or other financial metrics. Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of U.S. companies.
The fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The portfolio managers continually analyze market and financial data to make buy, sell and hold decisions. When buying or selling a security, the portfolio managers may consider the trade-off between expected returns of the security and implementation or tax costs of the trade. They do this in an attempt to gain trading efficiencies, avoid unnecessary risk and enhance fund performance.

Performance Review

For the period from the fund’s inception on March 15, 2022, through August 31, 2022, Avantis Responsible U.S. Equity ETF returned -7.28%* on a market price basis. On a net asset value (NAV) basis, the fund returned -7.32%. NAV and market price returns reflect fees and operating expenses, while index returns do not.

The fund underperformed the total U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, which returned -6.58% for the reporting period. The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of the broad U.S. stock market, including all capitalization categories.

The underperformance was largely due to the fund’s environmental screen. This screen resulted in an underweight to the energy sector, which outperformed for the reporting period. Meanwhile, the fund’s emphasis on companies with the highest book-to-market and profitability characteristics aided relative performance.











*Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

A strategy or emphasis on environmental, social and governance factors (ESG) may limit the investment opportunities available to a portfolio. Therefore, the portfolio may underperform or perform differently than other portfolios that do not have an ESG investment focus. A portfolio’s ESG investment focus may also result in the portfolio investing in securities or industry sectors that perform differently or maintain a different risk profile than the market generally or compared to underlying holdings that are not screened for ESG standards.

Shareholder Fee Example

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2022 to August 31, 2022 (except as noted).

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.
(2)Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 170, the number of days in the period from March 15, 2022 (fund inception) through August 31, 2022, divided by 365, to reflect the period. Had the fund been available for the full period, the expenses paid during the period would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

AUGUST 31, 2022

1. Organization

American Century ETF Trust (the trust) was registered as a Delaware statutory trust in 2017 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. Avantis Responsible U.S. Equity ETF (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Shares of the fund are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. The fund incepted on March 15, 2022.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share.

If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.

The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Trustees, or its delegate, deems appropriate. The fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

39


Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Securities lending income is net of fees and rebates earned by the lending agent for its services.

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for collateral requirements.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

Securities Lending — Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street Bank & Trust Co. serves as securities lending agent to the fund pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes the fund to risks such as: the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities, the borrowers may not be able to provide additional collateral, the fund may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral, or the fund may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge collateral in the form of cash and/or securities. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the fund in the case of default of any securities borrowed. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. The loans may also be secured by U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. By lending securities, the fund seeks to increase its net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected separately within the Statement of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at period end, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of August 31, 2022.

(1)Amount represents the payable for cash collateral received for securities on loan. This will generally be in the Overnight and Continuous column as the securities are typically callable on demand.
40


3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, and the trust’s administrator, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee). The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage and other transaction fees and expenses relating to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of the fund and paid monthly in arrears. The annual management fee is 0.15%.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments and in kind transactions, for the period March 15, 2022 (fund inception) through August 31, 2022 were $568,059 and $448,564, respectively.

Securities received or delivered in kind through subscriptions and redemptions for the period March 15, 2022 (fund inception) through August 31, 2022 were $38,974,961 and $5,587,455, respectively. The fund incurred net realized gains of $106,440 from in kind transactions. Net realized gain (loss) on in kind transactions are not considered taxable for federal income tax purposes.

5. Capital Share Transactions

The fund's shares may only be bought and sold in a secondary market through a broker-dealer at a market price. Because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). The fund issues and redeems shares at its NAV only in aggregations of a specified number of shares (a creation unit) generally in exchange for a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted). Authorized participants may be required to pay an additional variable charge to cover certain brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution, market impact and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from creation unit transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in other capital within the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

As of period end, the fund’s investment securities were classified as Level 1. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund's portfolio holdings.

41


7. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks, including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.

8. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the period March 15, 2022 (fund inception) through August 31, 2022 were as follows:
Avantis Responsible U.S. Equity ETF
Distributions Paid From
Ordinary income $ 47,718 
Long-term capital gains — 

The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.

As of period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Avantis Responsible U.S. Equity ETF
Federal tax cost of investments $ 33,669,941 
Gross tax appreciation of investments $ 433,107 
Gross tax depreciation of investments (1,935,173)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments $ (1,502,066)
Undistributed ordinary income $ 77,824 
Accumulated short-term capital losses $ (16,162)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization to ordinary income for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of American Century ETF Trust:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Avantis® Responsible U.S. Equity ETF (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting the American Century ETF Trust, as of August 31, 2022, the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the period from March 15, 2022 (fund inception) through August 31, 2022, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Avantis® Responsible U.S. Equity ETF of the American Century ETF Trust, as of August 31, 2022, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from March 15, 2022 (fund inception) through August 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM and American Century Services, LLC (ACS), and they do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act.

Bulow, 8; and Stephen E. Yates, 7.

At a meeting held on March 2, 2022, the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the initial management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Avantis Responsible U.S. Equity ETF (the "Fund"). Under Section 15(c) of the of the Investment Company Act of 1940, new contracts for investment advisory services are required to be approved by a majority of a fund’s independent Trustees and to be evaluated on an annual basis thereafter.

In advance of the Board’s consideration, the Advisor provided information concerning the Fund. The materials circulated and the discussions held detailed the investment objective and strategy proposed to be utilized by the Advisor, the Fund's characteristics and key attributes, the rationale for launching the Fund, the experience of the staff designated to manage the Fund, the proposed pricing, and the markets in which the Fund would be sold. The information considered and the discussions held included, but were not limited to:

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management and other services to be provided to the Fund;
the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor would provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s proposed investment objective and strategy, including a discussion of its anticipated investment performance and proposed benchmark;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience; and
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund.

Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent data provider and comparing the Fund’s fee to the total expense ratio of expected peer funds. The annual management fees charged to shareholders of the Fund was anticipated to be below the median of the total expense ratios of it's peer universe.

When considering the approval of the management agreement for the Fund, the independent Trustees considered the entrepreneurial risk that the Advisor assumes in launching a new fund. In particular, they considered the fact that the Advisor will assume a substantial part of the start-up costs of the Fund and the risk that the Fund will not grow to a level that will become profitable to the Advisor. The Board considered the position that the Fund would take in the lineup of the American Century Investments’ family of funds and the benefits to shareholders of existing funds of the broadened product offering. Finally, while not specifically discussed, but important in the decision to approve the management agreement, is the Trustees’ familiarity with the Advisor. A majority of the Board oversees and evaluates on a continuous basis the nature and quality of all services the Advisor performs for other funds within the American Century Investments’ complex. As such, the Trustees have confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and competence in providing services to the Fund.

The independent Trustees considered all of the information provided by the Advisor and the independent Trustees’ independent counsel in connection with the approval, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. The independent Trustees concluded that the overall arrangements between the Fund and the Advisor, as provided in the management agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services to be provided and should be approved.

Additional Information
 
Retirement Account Information
 
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.
