Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® Equity ETFs

Principal Investment Strategies

The investment objective of each of the MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, MarketBeta® International Equity ETF and MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF (each, a “Fund”), is to seek to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its respective underlying index (each, an “Index”).

Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its underlying index, in depositary receipts representing securities included in its underlying index and in underlying stocks in respect of depositary receipts included in its underlying index.

MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF

The Solactive GBS Emerging Markets Large & Mid Cap Index (the “Index”) consists of equity securities of large and mid-capitalization issuers covering approximately the largest 85% of the free-float market capitalization in emerging markets. It is calculated as a net total return index in U.S. dollars and weighted by free-float market capitalization.

As of August 31, 2022, the Index consisted of 1,662 securities with a market capitalization range of between approximately $70.3 million and $2,195.0 billion from issuers in the following emerging market countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. The components of the Index may change over time. The percentage of the portfolio exposed to any asset class, country or geographic region will vary from time to time as the weightings of the securities within the Index change, and the Fund may not be invested in each asset class, country or geographic region at all times. Solactive AG (“Solactive” or the “Index Provider”) will generally deem an issuer to be located in an emerging market country if it is organized under the laws of the emerging market country and it is primarily listed in the emerging market country; in the event that these factors point to more than one country, the Index methodology provides for consideration of certain additional factors. The Index is reconstituted on a semi-annual basis in May and November. New securities from initial public offerings are also added on a semi-annual basis in February and August, subject to fulfillment of certain eligibility criteria.

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

MarketBeta® International Equity ETF

The Solactive GBS Developed Markets ex North America Large & Mid Cap Index (the “Index”) consists of equity securities of large and mid-capitalization issuers covering approximately the largest 85% of the free-float market capitalization in developed markets excluding North America. It is calculated as a net total return index in U.S. dollars and weighted by free-float market capitalization.

As of August 31, 2022, the Index consisted of 1,031 securities with a market capitalization range of between approximately $545.4 million and $327.6 billion from issuers in the following developed market countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Chile, China, Curacao, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Faeroe Island, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Luxembourg, Macao, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The components of the Index may change over time. The percentage of the portfolio exposed to any asset class, country or geographic region will vary from time to time as the weightings of the securities within the Index change, and the Fund may not be invested in each asset class, country or geographic region at all times. Solactive AG (“Solactive” or the “Index Provider”) will generally deem an issuer to be located in a developed market country if it is organized under the laws of the developed market country and it is primarily listed in the developed market country; in the event that these factors point to more than one country, the Index methodology provides for consideration of certain additional factors. The Index is reconstituted on a semi-annual basis in May and November. New securities from initial public offerings are also added on a semi-annual basis in February and August, subject to fulfillment of certain eligibility criteria.

INVESTMENT PROCESS

 

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF

The Solactive GBS United States Large & Mid Cap Index (the “Index”) consists of equity securities of large and mid-capitalization equity issuers covering approximately the largest 85% of the free-float market capitalization in the United States. It is calculated as a total return index in U.S. dollars and weighted by free-float market capitalization.

As of August 31, 2022, the Index consisted of 534 securities with a market capitalization range of between approximately $4.1 billion and $2,526.6 billion. The components of the Index may change over time. The percentage of the portfolio exposed to any asset class will vary from time to time as the weightings of the securities within the Index change, and the Fund may not be invested in each asset class at all times. Solactive AG (“Solactive” or the “Index Provider”) will deem an issuer to be a U.S. issuer if it is organized under the laws of the U.S. and it is primarily listed in the U.S.; in the event that these factors point to more than one country, the Index methodology provides for consideration of certain additional factors. The Index is reconstituted on a semi-annual basis in May and November. New securities from initial public offerings are also added on a semi-annual basis in February and August, subject to fulfillment of certain eligibility criteria.

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

All Above Funds

Each Fund seeks to invest in the respective Index components in approximately the same weighting that such components have within the respective Index at the applicable time. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the respective Index in the approximate respective Index weight. In these circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of securities in the respective Index. There may also be instances in which the Investment Adviser may choose to underweight or overweight a security in each Fund’s Index, purchase securities not in each Fund’s Index that the Investment Adviser believes are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in such Index or utilize various combinations of other available investment techniques.

Each Index is owned and calculated by Solactive.

Each Fund is classified as “diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). However, each Fund may become “non-diversified” solely as a result of a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the respective Index. A non-diversified fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified funds.

Each Fund may concentrate its investments (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the respective Index is concentrated. The degree to which components of the respective Index represent certain sectors or industries may change over time.

* * *

At the end of the Reporting Period, i.e. August 31, 2022, we maintained conviction in our principal investment strategies, as each Fund continues to seek to provide efficient and diversified access to approximately 85% of the broad equity market represented by each respective Index in one portfolio.

Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF

 

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Solactive GBS Emerging Markets Large & Mid Cap Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -20.01% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and -20.22% based on market price. The Index returned -20.08% during the same period.

 

 

The Fund had an NAV of $55.68 per share on August 31, 2021 and ended the Reporting Period with an NAV of $41.23 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2022 was $41.16 per share.

 

Q   What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

 

 

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Index.

 

Q   Which sectors and countries contributed most to the Index’s performance during the Reporting Period, and which contributed least?

 

A   Index constituents in the utilities sector contributed most positively to the Index’s results during the Reporting Period. Index constituents in the information technology, consumer discretionary and communication services sectors contributed least to the Index’s results during the Reporting Period.

 

 

From a country perspective, Index constituents in United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia contributed most to the Index’s results during the Reporting Period. Conversely, Index constituents in China, South Korea and Taiwan contributed least to the Index’s results during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s returns during the Reporting Period?

 

A   Positions in United Arab Emirates-based health care supply chain company International Holding Company, Brazil-based energy company Petroleo Brasileiro and India-based financials company ICICI Bank contributed most positively (0.64%, 0.43% and 0.84% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Each of these holdings posted either a double-digit or triple-digit positive return within the Index during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   Which individual stock positions contributed the least to the Index’s results during the Reporting Period?

 

A   Positions in Taiwan-based semiconductor company Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, China-based e-commerce retailer Alibaba Group Holding and China-based communication services company Tencent Holdings contributed least (5.91%, 2.62% and 3.67% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Each of these holdings posted a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period.

  1    Country and sector classifications for securities may differ between the above listing and the Schedule of Investments due to differing classification methodologies. The classification methodology used for the above listing is as set forth by Solactive. The Fund’s composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the chart above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Underlying sector allocation of exchange-traded funds held by the Fund are not reflected in the chart above. Country classification in this listing is based on the country of incorporation rather than being based on country of domicile or country of highest revenue. Investments in the securities lending vehicle represented 0.4% of the Fund’s net assets as of August 31, 2022. Figures above may not sum to 100% due to rounding due to the presence of cash.

1    The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV is the market value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, plus other assets, less any liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their NAV only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Information regarding how often shares of each Fund traded on Cboe BZX at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV of the Fund can be found at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/ETFs.

MARKETBETA® EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY ETF

 

Performance Summary

August 31, 2022

 

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2022, of a $10,000 investment made on May 12, 2020 (commencement of operations) in Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s underlying index and a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, the Solactive GBS Emerging Markets Large & Mid Cap Index, is shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. In addition to the performance of constituents of the underlying index, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and creation and redemption in-kind transactions. The returns set forth below represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s NAV and investment return may fluctuate. These fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares to be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted below. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/ETFs to obtain the most recent month-end returns.

*   Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade as of 4:00 pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns.

1    The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV is the market value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, plus other assets, less any liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their NAV only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Information regarding how often shares of each Fund traded on Cboe BZX at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV of the Fund can be found at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/ETFs.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2022

 

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2022, of a $10,000 investment made on May 12, 2020 (commencement of operations) in Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s underlying index and a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, the Solactive GBS Developed Markets ex North America Large & Mid Cap Index, is shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. In addition to the performance of constituents of the underlying index, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and creation and redemption in-kind transactions. The returns set forth below represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s NAV and investment return may fluctuate. These fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares to be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted below.

*   Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade as of 4:00 pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns.

Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF

 

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Solactive GBS United States Large & Mid Cap Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A

During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -13.41% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and -13.43% based on market price. The Index returned -13.39% during the same period.

 

 

The Fund had an NAV of $63.07 per share on August 31, 2021 and ended the Reporting Period with an NAV of $53.96 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2022 was $53.97 per share.

 

Q   What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

 

 

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Index.

 

Q   Which sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which contributed least?

 

A

Index constituents in the energy, utilities and consumer staples sectors contributed most to the Index’s results during the Reporting Period. Index constituents in the information technology, communication services and consumer discretionary sectors contributed least to the Index’s results during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s returns during the Reporting Period?

 

A

Positions in integrated energy companies Exxon Mobil and Chevron and in health care company UnitedHealth Group contributed most (1.19%, 0.90% and 1.43% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Each of these holdings posted a double-digit positive return within the Index during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   Which individual stock positions contributed the least to the Index’s results during the Reporting Period?

 

A

Positions in communication services giant Meta Platforms, e-commerce retailing behemoth Amazon.com and software leader Microsoft contributed least (1.10%, 3.32% and 5.69% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2022, respectively). Each of these holdings generated a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

 

A

The Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

  1    Sector classifications for securities may differ between the above listing and the Schedule of Investments due to differing classification methodologies. The classification methodology used for the above listing is as set forth by Solactive. The Fund’s composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the chart above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Underlying sector allocation of exchange-traded funds held by the Fund are not reflected in the chart above. Investments in the securities lending vehicle represented 0.3% of the Fund’s net assets as of August 31, 2022. Figures above may not sum to 100% due to rounding due to the presence of cash.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2022

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), consisting of multiple series. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2009. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”) along with their respective diversification status under the Act:

 

Fund    Diversification
Classification

Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (“MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF”)

   Diversified

Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® International Equity ETF (“MarketBeta® International Equity ETF”)

   Diversified

Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF (“MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF”)

   Diversified

The investment objective of each Fund is to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its respective Index.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust. Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Market prices for the Funds’ shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem shares at their respective NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares, or multiples thereof, referred to as “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed generally for a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash. Shares generally trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only those that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) may do business directly with the Funds.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Each Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

A.  Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily NAV calculations. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

For derivative contracts, unrealized gains and losses are recorded daily and become realized gains and losses upon disposition or termination of the contract.

GOLDMAN SACHS MARKETBETA ETFS

 

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

C.  Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by a Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. For each Fund, income distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.

Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

E.  Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of a Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS   

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount 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 (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. With respect to the Funds’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

A.  Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.

Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2.

Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A Fund enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either due to broker or receivable for collateral on certain derivatives contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

i.  Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.

Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares

will correspondingly fluctuate in value. Underlying Funds are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that underlying ETFs are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

C.  Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2022:

The following table sets forth, by certain risk types, the gross value of derivative contracts (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) as of August 31, 2022. These instruments were used as part of the Funds’ investment strategies and to obtain and/or manage exposure related to the risks below. The values in the table below exclude the effects of cash collateral received or posted pursuant to these derivative contracts, and therefore are not representative of the Funds’ net exposure.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

A.  Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Funds operate under a unitary management fee structure. Under the unitary fee structure, GSAM is responsible for paying substantially all the expenses of each such Fund, excluding payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. As the Funds directly pay fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, the management fee collected by GSAM will be reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Funds to the independent Trustees.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, contractual and effective net unitary management fees with GSAM were at the following rates for each Fund:

 

Fund         Contractual Unitary
Management Fee
       Effective Net Unitary
Management Fee
*
 

MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF

         0.45        0.36

MarketBeta® International Equity ETF

         0.25        0.20

MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF

         0.09        0.07

 

*   Effective Net Unitary Management Fee includes the impact of management fee waivers, if any.

GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate of 0.36%, 0.20% and 0.07% as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of the MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, MarketBeta® International Equity ETF and MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF, respectively. These arrangements will remain in effect through at least December 29, 2022 and prior to such date, the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, GSAM waived $29,808, $182,858 and $106,102 of the Funds’ management fees for the MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, MarketBeta® International Equity ETF and MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF, respectively.

6. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS

The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Funds only in Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without an initial sales load, at NAV next determined after receipt, on any Business Day (as defined in the Statement of Additional Information), of an order in proper form. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (each an “Authorized Participant”). An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation; or (2) a Depository Trust Company participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor. Retail investors will typically not qualify as an Authorized Participant or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units.

Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market at market prices with the assistance of a broker and may be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Fixed creation and redemption transaction fees are imposed in connection with creations and redemptions.

Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay a variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (e.g. taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from sale of shares” in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Share activity is as follows:

8. SECURITIES LENDING

The Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

August 31, 2022

 

8. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

 

The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Funds’ master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of set-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of August 31, 2022, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Each of the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

9. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

 

In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from redemptions utilized as distributions and redemption in-kind transactions.

GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax year remains subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

 

10. OTHER RISKS

The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact the Fund’s liquidity and performance. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in, or economically tied to, emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund invests in foreign securities, and as such the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign

10. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.

Index Risk — Solactive AG (the “Index Provider”) constructs each Fund’s Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology. A Fund will be negatively affected by general declines in the securities and asset classes represented in its Index. In addition, because the Funds are not “actively” managed, unless a specific security is removed from an Index, a Fund generally would not sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on a Fund’s ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Index. A Fund also does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets. Therefore, a Fund’s performance could be lower than funds that may actively shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or to lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. The Index Provider relies on third party data it believes to be reliable in constructing each Index, but it does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of such third party data. Errors in index data, index computation or the construction of an Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the applicable Fund and its shareholders. In addition, neither a Fund, the Investment Adviser, the Calculation Agent nor the Index Provider can guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Market Trading Risk — Each Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for Shares. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. The Investment Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities of a Fund’s Index trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.

Tracking Error Risk — Tracking error is the divergence of a Fund’s performance from that of its Index. The performance of a Fund may diverge from that of its Index for a number of reasons. Tracking error may occur because of transaction costs, a Fund’s holding of cash, differences in accrual of dividends, changes to its Index or the need to meet new or existing regulatory requirements. Unlike a Fund, the returns of an Index are not reduced by investment and other operating expenses, including the trading costs associated with implementing changes to its portfolio of investments. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

August 31, 2022

 

11. INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

12. OTHER MATTERS

In late February 2022, Russia began an invasion of Ukraine. Following such invasion, the United States, the European Union, and other countries and entities imposed wide-ranging sanctions on Russia and related entities. Certain Funds have limited market value in Russian and Ukrainian securities, which are being valued to reflect the limited liquidity and transferability in the current environment. With the closure of local Russian markets and imposition of sanctions in late February and early March, there are currently limited portfolio management actions possible as many of these assets are either sanctioned and/or cannot be transferred or settled. These sanctions and current environment could impair the ability of these funds to buy, sell, hold, receive, deliver or otherwise transact in certain securities and other instruments. The full impact of the sanctions and the conflict on these Funds, the financial markets and the global economy is not yet known. Management is continuing to monitor these developments and evaluate other impacts they may have on these Funds.

 

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® International Equity ETF, and Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® International Equity ETF, and Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF (three of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2022, the results of each of their operations for the year ended August 31, 2022, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2022 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

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

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended 8/31/22  (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder you incur 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 Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds. This example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares of a Fund.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from March 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year (or less where indicated).

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate 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 a 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 redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of 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.

Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year.
