The KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses and fees, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the CSI Overseas China Internet Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is designed to measure the performance of the investable universe of publicly traded China-based companies whose primary business or businesses are in the Internet and Internet-related sectors, as defined by the index sponsor, China Securities Index Co., Ltd.

 

China's internet equities outperformed China's equity market more broadly and global equities, broadly defined, due to several positive catalysts for China's internet equities during the Period, including stimulus measures announced by China's government in September, which included a stock market stabilization fund, consumer subsidies, and rate cuts. In addition, DeepSeek, China's answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT, was reported to operate at a higher level of efficiency and demand fewer chips to train than expected, potentially eliminating concerns over chip shortages for China's internet giants. Earnings reported by China internet companies were also strong during the Period.

The KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A 50 Connect Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index is constructed from the MSCI China A Index (the "Parent Index"), a broad-based benchmark index, which captures large and mid-capitalization China A-shares listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and/or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and accessible through the Northbound Stock Connect program. The Underlying Index is designed to reflect the performance of the 50 largest securities representing each Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) sector at the sector weight allocation of the Parent Index.

 

China's A-share market outpaced global equity markets during the Period, as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI). China's A-share market benefited from the stimulus measures announced by China's government in September, which included a stock market stabilization fund, consumer subsidies, and rate cuts. Within the Fund, the best-performing sectors were Consumer Discretionary and Financials, while the worst-performing sectors were Real Estate and Energy. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

(a) MSCI China All Shares Index

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF China Region Category.

 

The KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the MSCI China All Shares Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index seeks to track the equity market performance of companies based in China and listed in Mainland China, Hong Kong and the United States. Companies available for inclusion must be headquartered in China and meet the market capitalization minimums required by the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes Methodology.

 

The Fund outperformed global equities, as measured by the MSCI ACWI, significantly during the Period. Offshore listings in Hong Kong and the United States contributed the most to performance. Unprecedented stimulus measures announced by China's government in September, which included a stock market stabilization fund, consumer subsidies, and rate cuts, were a key catalyst for the Fund during the Period. Offshore-listed internet and technology stocks were top performers within the Fund during the Period, as DeepSeek, China's answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT, was reported to operate at a higher level of efficiency and demand fewer chips to train, potentially eliminating concerns over chip shortages for many of China's internet and technology companies. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

(a) MSCI Global China Infrastructure Exposure Index

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Infrastructure Category

 

The KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the MSCI Global China Infrastructure Exposure Index (the Underlying Index). The Underlying Index aims to identify potential beneficiaries of the "Belt & Road" or "One Belt One Road" initiative by the central government in China based on how their geography, revenue, and sector attributes align with the broad theme. The Fund seeks to capture potential upside for the companies involved in China's Belt & Road Initiative.

 

The shares in the companies involved in or related to China's outbound infrastructure investment initiatives slightly underperformed Emerging Markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, and global equities, as measured by the MSCI ACWI. These companies tend to be concentrated in the Industrial and Financial sectors, which underperformed more growth-oriented sectors, such as Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary, across Emerging Markets, leading the Fund to underperform. Within the Fund, the top-performing countries were South Africa and Israel, while the worst-performing countries were the Philippines and Malaysia. Within the Fund, the top-performing sectors were Financials and Utilities, while the worst-performing sectors were Communication Services and Industrials. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF China Region Category

 

The KraneShares MSCI China Clean Technology Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the MSCI China IMI Environment 10/40 Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index comprises securities that derive at least 50% of their revenues from environmentally beneficial products and services. The Underlying Index is based on four key clean technology themes: (1) Alternative Energy, (2) Sustainable Water, (3) Pollution Prevention and (4) Energy Efficiency. The Underlying Index is designed to measure the performance of Chinese companies that focus on contributing to a more environmentally sustainable economy by making efficient use of scarce natural resources or by mitigating the impact of environmental degradation.

 

China's clean technology equities outperformed global equities, as represented by the MSCI ACWI, and China equities more broadly, as represented by the MSCI China All Shares Index, during the Period. Within the Fund, electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, supported by consumer subsidies targeting the automotive industry, outperformed new energy system component suppliers, which were challenged by the potential for increased trade protectionism abroad, including in the U.S., among other factors. Xpeng, an EV manufacturer and top Fund holding, beat earnings per share (EPS) estimates for the fourth quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, Xinyi Solar, a manufacturer of solar panels and equipment, fell short of expectations for its EPS for the second half of 2024, posting a loss for the year after three years of net profits. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

The KraneShares Electric Vehicle & Future Mobility Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Bloomberg Electric Vehicles Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index seeks to measure the performance of companies that are engaged in the production of electric vehicles, their components, or other initiatives that may change the future of mobility. This includes electric vehicles, autonomous driving, lithium and/or copper production, lithium-ion/lead acid battery production, hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing, and/or electric infrastructure businesses.

 

The global electric vehicle (“EV”) and future mobility ecosystem was challenged by waning support for the electrification of transport from the U.S. government following a surge in support with the Biden Administration's 2023 Inflation Reduction Act. Nonetheless, global electric vehicle sales reached another record high of over 17 million units in 2024. Electric vehicle manufacturers in China outperformed those in other regions. Within the Fund, the best-performing industries were vehicle manufacturers and EV components, while the worst-performing industries were hydrogen engines, fuel cells, and EV charging infrastructure. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF China Region Category

 

The KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, track the price and yield performance of the MSCI China All Shares Health Care 10/40 Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index captures large and mid-cap representation across China A‐shares, B‐shares, H‐shares, Red‐chips, P‐chips, and foreign listings (e.g. American depositary receipts). The Underlying Index is designed to reflect the various China equity share classes, including those listed in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and outside of China.

 

China's health care equities outperformed global equities, as measured by the MSCI ACWI, during the Period. China's health care equities benefited from the stimulus measures announced by China's government in September, which included a stock market stabilization fund, consumer subsidies, and rate cuts. China's regulators also adopted a more supportive approach to the sector than in the past, releasing plans to induce more private investments in innovative medicine and expand insurance programs to cover the costs of new drug development. In addition, Fund holding Akeso developed a new lung cancer treatment during the Period that could be twice as effective as the current global best-in-class treatments, based on initial clinical trial data driving positive performance for the Fund. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

The KraneShares Asia Pacific High Income U.S.D. Bond ETF seeks to provide a total return that, before fees and expenses, exceeds that of the JP Morgan Asia Credit Index (JACI) Non-Investment Grade Corporate (the "Benchmark Index") over a complete market cycle. The Benchmark Index is comprised of liquid U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments issued out of Asia ex-Japan and is market capitalization weighted. The Underlying Index is limited to issuers classified as noninvestment grade based on the middle rating between Moody's, Fitch, and S&P.

 

The Asia ex Japan high yield bond market slightly underperformed the global high yield bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Global High Yield Index, during the Period. China real estate developers' bonds continued to recover on strong government support and backstop measures, contributing positively to the Fund's performance and resulting in real estate issuers doubling as a percentage of the total portfolio. Meanwhile, trade-related uncertainties led to a slight widening of high-yield spreads in Asia. However, relatively benign inflation in local economies and rate cut cycles initiated by multiple regional central banks during the Period supported bond prices, mitigating losses by the Fund.

(a) MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Diversified Emerging Markets Category

 

The KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to track the equity market performance of mid- and large-cap companies of emerging market countries, excluding China.

 

Emerging Markets equities, excluding China, underperformed both China, as measured by the MSCI China All Shares Index, and the global equity market, as measured by the MSCI ACWI. U.S. dollar strength and the anticipation of increased U.S. tariffs and protectionism weighed on Emerging Markets during the Period. Meanwhile, a re-rating of semiconductor manufacturers after their valuations reached all-time highs and DeepSeek's demonstration that large language models (LLMs) may require significantly fewer chips to train weighed on key semiconductor-producing countries, Taiwan and South Korea. Within the Fund, the best-performing countries were the Czech Republic and Colombia, while the worst-performing countries were Indonesia and Mexico. Within the Fund, the best-performing sectors were Utilities and Financials, while the worst-performing sectors were Materials and Industrials. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

(a) S&P Global Carbon Credit Index

(b) The Morningstar U.S. ETF Commodities Focused Category portfolios primarily invest in physical commodities, such as agricultural goods, precious metals, and energy sources, directly or through futures contracts.

 

The KraneShares Global Carbon Strategy ETF seeks to provide a total return that, before fees and expenses, tracks the performance of the S&P Global Carbon Credit Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is an index comprised of futures contracts on carbon allowances traded within the largest, most liquid carbon allowance "cap and trade" programs. Such programs seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over time by capping the issuance of carbon emission allowances, but allowing them to be traded at market prices, which are expected to reflect their reduced supply, notwithstanding fluctuations in demand.

 

During the Period, European Union (“E.U.”) allowances, the largest exposure in the Fund, closely tracked the swings in natural gas prices for most of the year but contributed positively to Fund performance At the same time, the U.K. cap and trade market was boosted by discussions around linking its emissions trading program with the E.U., resulting in it contributing positively to Fund performance. Washington State also made headway toward linking its program with the California market when the state legislature passed a new law in this regard. Further, the ballot initiative vote in support of the State cap-and-trade program resulted in Washington carbon allowances having the highest returns across the five markets represented in the Fund (i.e. E.U., U.K., California, Washington, and the Northeast U.S.). By contrast, the California market detracted from Fund performance as a result of delays in ongoing rulemaking around California’s carbon emissions allowance program and uncertainty surrounding potential policy shifts during the Trump Administration. The deviation between the Fund’s performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund and the Underlying Index assuming a different return on cash collateral than that earned by the Fund.

(a) Value Line® Dynamic Dividend Equity Index

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Large Value Category

 

The KraneShares Value Line® Dynamic Dividend Equity Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Value Line® Dynamic Dividend Equity Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index introduces a market-adaptive approach to investing in U.S. large-cap companies. The strategy seeks to identify U.S. companies whose equity securities pay a high dividend yield and are the highest rated by Value Line®'s Safety™ and Timeliness™ Ranking Systems. Careful quantitative modeling, which incorporates a unique set of risk management tools, adjusts the beta of the overall portfolio based on the market environment. The index is rebalanced monthly.

 

During the Period, large-cap, high-dividend, diversified U.S. stocks outperformed global equities, as represented by the MSCI ACWI, and outperformed broad U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. The Fund's sector-neutral approach proved valuable when high concentrations in other U.S. indexes led them to underperform as uncertainties rose in the first quarter of 2025. Within the Fund, the best-performing sectors were Utilities and Energy, while the worst-performing sectors were Materials and Consumer Discretionary. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

(a) KFA MLM Index

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Systematic Trend Category

 

The KraneShares Mount Lucas Managed Futures Index Strategy ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, track the price performance of the KFA MLM Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Index consists of a portfolio of twenty-two liquid futures contracts traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges. The Index includes futures contracts on 11 commodities, six currencies, and five global bond markets. These three baskets are weighted by their relative historical volatility, and within each basket, the constituent markets are equal dollar weighted.

 

The Fund's long position in gold and short positions in natural gas and wheat all contributed positively to performance for the Period. The Fund’s frequent rotation between long and short positions in crude oil, which were triggered by changes in the one-year moving averages that the Underlying Index uses to determine long versus short exposure, detracted from performance. In addition, the Fund charges a management fee, which the Underlying Index does not, which detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to that of the Underlying Index.

The KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Shanghai Stock Exchange ("SSE") Science and Technology Innovation Board 50 Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index is comprised of the 50 largest companies listed on the SSE Science and Technology Innovation Board ("STAR Market") as determined by market capitalization and liquidity.

 

Equities listed on China's STAR Market Science & Technology Innovation Board, a sub-board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, outperformed global equities, as measured by the MSCI ACWI. The top-performing sector within the Fund was the Information Technology sector, driven mainly by optimism over DeepSeek's innovation in AI large language models (LLMs). Within the Fund, the top-performing sectors were Information Technology and Materials, while the worst-performing sectors were Consumer Staples and Industrials. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund and the index's inclusion of a name indicated in U.S. Executive Order 13959/14032(1), which was not held in the portfolio during the Period.

 

(1) Executive Order 13959/14032, signed by former President Trump on November 12, 2020, prohibits U.S. investors from purchasing or transacting in securities linked to Chinese companies identified as tied to the Chinese military (CMICs). It became effective on January 11, 2021. Executive Order 14032, signed by President Biden on June 3, 2021, amends Executive Order 13959 by maintaining the investment restrictions while allowing the Treasury Secretary, in coordination with the Secretaries of State and Defense, to update the list of prohibited companies. It also outlines procedures for U.S. persons to divest from such securities.

The KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses and fees, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Hang Seng TECH Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index is designed to track the performance of the 30 largest technology companies listed in Hong Kong with significant revenue exposure to technology themes.

 

Internet and technology equities listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange significantly outperformed global equities, as represented by the MSCI ACWI, and China's equity markets more broadly, as represented by the MSCI China All Shares Index. Catalysts during the Period included stimulus measures announced by China's government in September, which included a stock market stabilization fund, consumer subsidies, and rate cuts. Meanwhile, DeepSeek, China's answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT, was reported to operate at a higher level of efficiency and demand fewer chips to train, potentially eliminating concerns over chip shortages for China's internet and technology firms. The Fund's inclusion of hardware companies, especially Xiaomi, led to its outperformance over China's internet equities, as hardware names were seen as beneficiaries of AI before internet firms. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees and the index's inclusion of a name indicated in U.S. Executive Order 13959/14032(1), which was not held in the portfolio during the Period, and the deduction of management fees.

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Commodities Focused Category.

 

The KraneShares European Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF seeks to provide a total return that, before fees and expenses, tracks the performance of the S&P Carbon Credit EUA Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is an index comprised of futures contracts on European carbon allowances issued by the European Union Emission Trading System that seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over time.

 

The European carbon market closely tracked natural gas price action for most of the year, where uncertainty around the region's supply drove volatility in the market. Higher natural gas prices led to more gas-to-coal fuel switching, which, in turn, created more demand for carbon allowances and contributing positively to Fund performance. Meanwhile, global trade and tariff uncertainty added some downward pressure on prices near the end of the Period, which detracted from Fund performance. The deviation between the Fund’s performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund and the Underlying Index assuming a different return on cash collateral than that earned by the Fund.

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Commodities Focused Category.

 

The KraneShares California Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF seeks to provide a total return that, before fees and expenses, tracks the performance of the S&P Carbon Credit CCA Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is an index comprised of futures contracts on California carbon allowances issued by the state's "cap and trade" program that seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over time.

 

The market undergoes periodic reforms every few years, where the latest policy updates introduce supply-tightening measures to better align the program with accelerated emissions reduction targets. From wildfires in Southern California to shifting federal climate policies, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), which issues carbon allowances, faced added pressure and introduced new considerations for the market. That said, Governor Newsom, in collaboration with other state officials, reinforced their support for the program by announcing their intentions to extend the market beyond its sunset clause in 2030. Nonetheless, delays in CARB rulemaking negatively impacted the value of Fund investments tied to California’s carbon emission allowances and detracted from Fund performance. The deviation between the Fund’s performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund and the Underlying Index assuming a different return on cash collateral than that earned by the Fund.

^ Fund is actively managed and does not track an Underlying Index.

(1) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF China Region Category.

 

The KraneShares KWEB Covered Call Strategy ETF seeks to provide current income. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund employs a covered call strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in the component securities of the CSI Overseas China Internet Index or in instruments that have economic characteristics similar to those in the Index and writes (sells) covered call options on the Index or in instruments that have economic characteristics similar to writing covered call options on the Index. Currently, the Fund invests in the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (the "Underlying Fund"), which is an exchange-traded fund advised by Krane that seeks to track the Index, and to write (sell) covered call options on the Underlying Fund.

 

Elevated implied volatility in China’s internet equities led to an increase in the options premiums earned by the Fund during the Period. China's internet equities outperformed China's equity market more broadly and global equities, broadly defined, due to several positive catalysts for China's internet equities during the Period, including stimulus measures announced by China's government in September, which included a stock market stabilization fund, consumer subsidies, and rate cuts.

(1) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Diversified Emerging Markets Category.

 

The KraneShares Dynamic Emerging Markets Strategy ETF is an active ETF that invests in other Funds to provide investors with exposure to broad Emerging Market equities while dynamically adjusting the portfolio's China weight based on fundamental, valuation and technical signals. KEM has the potential to mitigate downside risk by dynamically adjusting its allocations between the Underlying ETFs and cash and cash equivalents. By combining a strategic allocation with a systematic valuation overlay between China and the rest of Emerging Markets, KEM seeks to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index ("Benchmark Index"). KEM primarily invests in the following ETFs:

 

• The KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF

• The KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF

 

The Fund outperformed both Emerging Markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, and global equities, as measured by the MSCI ACWI, during the Period. The Fund's consistent overweight to China contributed positively to Fund performance. U.S. dollar strength and the anticipation of increased U.S. tariffs and protectionism weighed on Emerging Markets outside of China during the Period. Meanwhile, a re-rating of semiconductor manufacturers after their valuations reached all-time highs and DeepSeek's demonstration that large language models (LLMs) may require significantly fewer chips to train weighed on key semiconductor-producing countries, Taiwan and South Korea. China's outperformance was driven by stimulus measures announced by China's government in September, which included a stock market stabilization fund, consumer subsidies, and rate cuts, as well as critical advancements in AI technology in the country during the Period.

(a) Solactive Global Luxury Select Index

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Consumer Cyclical Category.

 

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of a specific equity securities index. The Fund's current index is the Solactive Global Luxury Select Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index is a modified, free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the equity performance of companies in developed markets from global luxury-related sectors. The Underlying Index includes companies classified by the FactSet Revere Business Industry Classification system ("RBICS") as being in the travel & leisure, premium ware and apparel, luxury goods, and premium consumer goods industries that include certain luxury-related business descriptions. Solactive AG ("Index Provider") defines developed countries as the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, or United States.

 

The KraneShares Global Luxury Index ETF considerably underperformed global markets during the Period. This underperformance can be attributed to lackluster earnings from top luxury names and consumption lulls in key markets like China, the United States, and Europe. Additionally, the potential for increased tariffs and protectionism in the United States is expected to weigh on the sector as macroeconomic uncertainty leads to a cautious consumer. Nonetheless, luxury companies continue to breach new markets with rising incomes in Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and South America. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

The KraneShares RockefellerSM Ocean Engagement ETF seeks to provide exposure to the rise of the "blue economy" by allocating to public companies whose business activities are materially based in and actively beneficial for the ocean. The Fund's sub-advisor, Rockefeller Asset Management LLC, proactively engages with companies held by the Fund on ocean-related matters in pursuit of healthier oceans and outperformance versus its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index. Holdings include companies from diverse sectors such as aquaculture, commercial fishing, waste management, renewable energy, and logistics, among others.

 

The Fund underperformed global markets during the Period. This underperformance was largely attributable to the energy and healthcare sectors, the worst-performing sectors within the Fund. Industrial and consumer discretionary names did help boost the Fund's overall performance. The waste management space, to which the Fund maintained a meaningful exposure during the Period, experienced solid returns, driven by a focus on technology and automation and multiple mergers and acquisitions to help improve efficiency.

(a) Hedgeye Hedged Equity Index

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Equity Hedged Category.

 

The KraneShares Hedgeye Hedged Equity Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Hedgeye Hedged Equity Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index is designed to track the performance of a portfolio of large-cap securities subject to downside hedging and seeking to exhibit less volatility than a portfolio of large-cap securities alone. The Underlying Index models an investment in the S&P 500 Index, the purchase and sale of put options on the S&P 500 Index and Flexible Exchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) on an ETF that tracks the S&P 500 Index or a similar large-cap securities index, and the sale of call options on the S&P 500 Index. Fund assets not invested in options are invested in an ETF that seeks to track the S&P 500 Index.

 

The Fund underperformed the U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, for most of the Period since its inception. However, the Fund began outperforming the U.S. equity market when U.S. equities entered a downtrend in mid-February 2025. At this point, widespread macroeconomic uncertainty spread among investors regarding tariffs, inflation, and the Federal Reserve's rate cut trajectory due to the Fund's use of a downside hedge against broader market declines. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

^ Fund is actively managed and does not track an Underlying Index

(1) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Technology Category.

 

Under normal circumstances, the KraneShares Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of artificial intelligence (AI) and technology companies and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund considers a company to be an "AI and Technology" company if it is classified in the Technology economy within the FactSet Revere Business Industry Classification system (RBICS), which requires a company to generate at least 50% of its revenue from within the Technology economy, and has an AI Exposure Score greater than zero. An "AI and Technology" company will generally operate in the following industries, as categorized by RBICS: computer peripherals, data processing services, information technology services, internet retail, internet software/services, packaged software, semiconductors, or telecommunications equipment. An AI Exposure Score is a proprietary score used by the Underlying Index (as defined below) that attempts to quantify the exposure of a company with regard to AI. It is measured in a range from 0 (no exposure) to 5 (highest exposure) and is based on the company's public business descriptions, public filings, press releases, and financial disclosures that directly indicate involvement in AI-related business or the incorporation of AI technologies into their key operations, offerings and research and development activities.

 

U.S. AI equities underperformed global equities, as measured by the MSCI ACWI, during the Period. Uncertainty surrounding tariffs, the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate cut trajectory, and inflation weighed on U.S.-listed equities. The Fund's holdings in AI stocks were disproportionately affected due to their elevated valuations at launch. The Fund acquired a position in the privately-held company Anthropic during the Period.

(a) Solactive ISS Sustainable Select 0-1 Year USD Corporate IG Index

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Ultrashort Bond Category

 

 

The KraneShares Sustainable Ultra Short Duration Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Solactive ISS Sustainable Select 0-1 Year USD Corporate Investment Grade (“IG”) Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index is designed to measure the performance of U.S. dollar denominated investment grade corporate debt securities with a maturity of up to one year that are compatible with the principal objective of the Paris Agreement, which seeks to limit temperature increases in this century to well below 2 degrees Celsius, and preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, above pre-industrial levels (i.e., carbon reduction target levels).

 

Volatility in global markets led to a shift toward the relative safety of cash-like investments, contributing to the Fund's positive performance for the Period. Furthermore, potential tariffs increased uncertainty around future inflation and interest rate trends, leading to increased demand for ultrashort bonds, which carry less interest rate risk than longer-term fixed income instruments. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

(a) Qi China Alpha Index

The KraneShares Qi China Alpha Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Qi China Alpha Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index seeks to provide a total return that exceeds the CSI 300 Index (the "Benchmark Index") using an automated algorithmic machine learning investment process ("AI Process") developed by Quant Insight Ltd. ("Index Provider"). The CSI 300 Index is a free-float capitalization-weighted index that tracks the performance of China A-Shares issued by the 300 largest companies by market capitalization and liquidity traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

 

The Fund underperformed China's broad equity market, as represented by the MSCI China All Shares Index, during the Period, due to its investing only in China’s A-shares market during a period when China’s offshore issuers recorded higher performance. The Fund’s overweight to Financials and Industrials and underweight to both Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary led it to underperform the Benchmark Index.

(a) Man Buyout Beta Index

(b) The Fund is in the Morningstar U.S. ETF Mid-Cap Blend Category

 

 

The KraneShares Man Buyout Beta Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, track the price and yield performance of a specific equity securities index. The Fund's current index is the Man Buyout Beta Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index is designed to provide a proxy for private equity performance and risk exposures by focusing on small- and mid-capitalization stocks with characteristics similar to companies in private equity buyout funds. A "buyout" fund is a type of fund that targets companies for acquisition or control in an attempt to enhance the value of those acquired companies. The Fund does not invest directly in private equity funds or the privately-held shares of companies, and the Fund will not attempt to acquire or control private companies.

 

The Fund slightly underperformed the small to mid-capitalization U.S. equity market, as represented by the Russell 2,500 Index, during the Period. Small to mid-capitalization stocks are generally affected disproportionately during times of macroeconomic uncertainty. Heightened levels of uncertainty were introduced in mid-February 2025, which weighed on the companies held within the Fund. During the Period, a New Mexico utility company held by the Fund entered into strategic talks with a private buyer about a potential takeover. The deviation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index can be mainly attributed to management fees paid by the Fund.

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

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

Strategy ETF and KraneShares California Carbon Subsidiary, Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the KraneShares California Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF (each, a “Subsidiary”). Each Subsidiary is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempt limited company. Information regarding the KraneShares Global Carbon Strategy ETF, KraneShares Mount Lucas Managed Futures Index Strategy ETF, KraneShares European Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF and KraneShares California Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF and their respective subsidiaries have been consolidated in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Consolidated Financial Highlights.

 

Shares of all Funds except KraneShares Artificial Intelligence and Technology ETF are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE”). Shares of KraneShares Artificial Intelligence and Technology ETF are listed and traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ” and together with NYSE, each an “Exchange”). Market prices for Fund shares (“Shares”) may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares each called a “Creation Unit”. This does not mean, however, that individual investors will be able to redeem and purchase Shares directly with the series of the Trust. Only Authorized Participants can redeem and purchase Creation Units of Shares directly. Each Fund will issue and redeem Shares for a basket of securities and/or a balancing cash amount. Individual shares trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day.

 

At March 31, 2025, all shares issued by the Funds were in Creation Unit aggregations to Authorized Participants through primary market transactions (e.g., transactions directly with the Funds). However, the individual shares that make up those Creation Units are traded on the Exchange (e.g., secondary market transactions). Some of those individual shares have been bought and sold by persons that are not Authorized Participants. Each Authorized Participant has entered into an agreement with the Funds’ Distributor.

 

The investment objective of each of the following Funds is to seek to provide a total return or investments results that (before fees and expenses) tracks the performance of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and could have a material impact to the Funds.

 

SECURITY VALUATION — The NAV per share of each Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of a Fund (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities and withholdings) by the total number of shares of a Fund outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. Expenses and fees, including without limitation, the management, administration and distribution fees, are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining NAV. The NAV per share for each Fund normally is calculated by the Administrator (as defined below) and determined as of the regularly scheduled close of normal trading on each day that the NYSE is scheduled to be open for business (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). Any assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars at the current market rates on the date of valuation as quoted by one or more sources.

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange (i.e., exchange-traded equity securities), market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued by independent pricing agents at the last reported sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at the time as of which the Fund’s NAV is calculated if a security’s exchange is normally open at that time). If there is no such reported sale, such securities are valued at the most recently reported bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Fund seeks to obtain bid and ask prices from two broker-dealers who make a market in the portfolio instrument and determines the average of the two.

 

If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value.

 

The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. The exchange rates used for valuation are captured as of the close of the London Stock Exchange each day normally at 4:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time.

 

The value of a swap contract is equal to the obligation (or rights) under the swap contract, which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the contract based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the contract as determined by the applicable independent, third party pricing agent.

 

161

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

Swaps cleared through a central clearing house (“centrally cleared swaps”) are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of the exchange on which they are listed. The daily settlement prices for centrally cleared swaps are provided by an Independent Pricing Agent. Swaps which are not centrally cleared are priced based on valuations provided by an Independent Pricing Agent.

 

In a typical equity swap, one party agrees to pay another party the return on a stock, stock index, or basket of stocks (the “equity leg” of the swap) in return for interest payment(s) calculated based on the notional amount of the swap (the “financing leg” of the swap). Each leg of the swap is valued separately, and the net amount of the two legs is included in the Fund’s net asset value. The value of the equity leg of the swap is provided by an Independent Pricing Agent based on the value of the financial instrument underlying the swap. The value of the financing leg of the swap is systematically calculated by the Fund’s accounting agent based on the details of the swap.

 

Exchange-traded options, except as discussed below for FLEX options, are valued at the mean of their most recent bid and asked price, if available, and otherwise, long positions will be valued at the most-recent bid price, and short positions will be valued at the most-recent ask price. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are valued based upon prices determined by the applicable independent, third party pricing agent. FLEX (short for flexible) options are normally valued using a model-based price provided by a third-party pricing vendor. On days when a trade in a FLEX option occurs, the trade price will be used to value such FLEX options in lieu of the model price.

 

Futures are valued at the settlement price established by the board of trade on which they are traded. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued at the current day’s interpolated foreign exchange rate, as calculated using the current day’s spot rate and the 30-, 60-, 90- and 180-day forward rates provided by an independent pricing agent.

 

As of and during the year ended March 31, 2025, the Funds did not hold swaps or foreign currency forward contracts. Securities issued by a wholly owned subsidiary of a Fund will be valued at the subsidiary’s net asset value, which will be determined using the same pricing policies and procedures applicable to the Fund.

 

Investments in open-end investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in open-end investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued in the same manner as other exchange-traded equity securities (described above).

 

On certain days, the settlement price for futures may not be available at the time the Fund calculates its NAV. On such days, the best available price (which is typically the last trade price) may be used to value futures.

 

Investments for which market prices are not ‘‘readily available,’’ or are not deemed to reflect current market values, or are debt securities where no evaluated price is available from third-party pricing agents pursuant to established methodologies, are fair valued in accordance with the Adviser’s valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using ‘‘fair value’’ pricing may include, but are not limited to: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed; or the security has not been traded for an extended period of time.

 

162

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

In addition, a Fund may fair value its securities if an event that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s securities that trade outside of the United States (a ‘‘Significant Event’’) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that a Fund calculates its NAV. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector, country or region. Events that may be Significant Events may include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If Krane becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a portfolio instrument or group of portfolio instruments after the closing of the exchange or market on which the portfolio instrument or portfolio instruments principally trade, but before the time at which a Fund calculates its NAV, it will notify the Administrator and may request that an ad hoc meeting of the Fair Value Pricing Committee be called.

 

With respect to trade-halted securities, the Adviser typically will fair value a trade-halted security by adjusting the security’s last market close price by the security’s sector performance, as measured by a predetermined index, unless Krane’s Fair Value Pricing Committee determines to make additional adjustments. Certain foreign securities exchanges have mechanisms in place that confine one day’s price movement in an individual security to a pre-determined price range based on that day’s opening price (“Collared Securities”). Fair value determinations for Collared Securities will generally be capped based on any applicable pre-determined “limit down” or “limit up” prices established by the relevant foreign securities exchange. As an example, China A-Shares can only be plus or minus ten percent in one day of trading in the relevant mainland China equity market. As a result, the fair value price determination on a given day will generally be capped plus or minus ten percent.

 

Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could actually be realized upon the sale of the security or that another fund that uses market quotations or its own fair value procedures to price the same securities. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by its Underlying Index, if any. This may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to track its Underlying Index.

 

Trading in securities on many foreign exchanges is normally completed before the close of business on each Business Day (a “Business Day”, as used herein, is any day on which the Exchange is open for business). In addition, securities trading in a particular country or countries may not take place on each Business Day or may take place on days that are not Business Days. Changes in valuations on certain securities may occur at times or on days on which a Fund’s NAV is not calculated and on which Fund shares do not trade and sales and redemptions of shares do not occur. As a result, the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities and the net asset value of its shares may change on days when share purchases or sales cannot occur.

 

Fund shares are purchased or sold on a national securities exchange at market prices, which may be higher or lower than NAV. Transactions in Fund shares will be priced at NAV only if shares are purchased or redeemed directly from a Fund in Creation Units. No secondary sales will be made to brokers or dealers at concession by the Distributor or by a Fund. Purchases and sales of shares in the secondary market, which will not involve a Fund, will be subject to customary brokerage commissions and charges.

 

With respect to the securities of private companies, the Administrator will obtain the price of private company securities from the Valuation Designee, who will determine their fair value using various inputs, including observable data such as cost basis, primary financing rounds, tender offers, and secondary market activity. The Valuation Designee will also consider pricing from independent

 

163

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

pricing experts1, comparables of public and private companies, and relevant market news. While primary financing rounds, tender offers, and cost basis are expected to be the main drivers of fair value, all factors will be considered. A daily dashboard will be stored to record data being considered. In addition to conducting a pricing and trend analysis on the data received from the independent pricing experts, the Valuation Designee will take business cycle, market depth, transaction size and other relevant factors into consideration when reviewing observable data and will periodically assess the pricing methodology used by the independent pricing experts.

 

1  It is currently expected that the Valuation Designee will get pricing from two independent pricing agents.

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost).

 

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, broker quotes, fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term).

 

Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. For details of the investment classification, refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized as material Level 3 investments as of March 31, 2025. The disclosures below also include qualitative information on the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute annually all or substantially all of its taxable income and gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.

 

The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provisions in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

As of March 31, 2025, management of the Funds has reviewed all open tax years since inception and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.

 

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded, net of any applicable withholding tax, on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date and includes the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discount calculated using the effective interest method.

 

Dividend income received from affiliated funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as income distributions in the Statements of Operations/Consolidated Statements of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from affiliated funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statement of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of affiliated funds are on the basis of specific identification. See details on the Statements of Operations/Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. The Funds report certain foreign-currency-related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes.

 

FUTURES — The KraneShares Global Carbon Strategy ETF, KraneShares Mount Lucas Managed Futures Index Strategy ETF, KraneShares European Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF and KraneShares California Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF will each utilize its respective Subsidiary for purposes of

 

165

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

investing in commodity futures that are the same as or similar to those included in the Index. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked-to-market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract.

 

As of March 31, 2025, the KraneShares Global Carbon Strategy ETF, KraneShares Mount Lucas Managed Futures Index Strategy ETF, KraneShares European Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF and KraneShares California Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF had open futures contracts. Refer to each Fund’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments for details regarding open futures contracts as of March 31, 2025.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2025, the average monthly notional amount of futures contracts were as follows:

 

KraneShares Global Carbon Strategy ETF        
Average Monthly Notional Value Long   $ 355,033,190  
KraneShares Mount Lucas Managed Futures Index Strategy ETF        
Average Monthly Notional Value Long   $ 286,957,790  
Average Monthly Notional Value Short   $ 514,204,475

Average Monthly Notional Value Long   $ 16,291,140  
KraneShares California Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF        
Average Monthly Notional Value Long   $ 186,217,899  

 

OPTIONS — The KraneShares KWEB Covered Call Strategy ETF writes (sells) at the money FLexible EXchange® call options (“FLEX options”) on the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (“Underlying Fund”). The KraneShares KWEB Covered Call Strategy ETF will cover such options by holding the Underlying Fund. FLEX options are exchange-traded options contracts with uniquely customizable terms like exercise price, style, and expiration date. Each FLEX option written by KraneShares KWEB Covered Call Strategy ETF will generally (i) have an expiration date greater than 30 days; (ii) have an exercise price generally at the prevailing market price of the Underlying Fund; and (iii) be traded on a national securities exchange. The KraneShares KWEB Covered Call Strategy ETF will attempt to hold each FLEX option written until expiration. However, if there are redemptions in the KraneShares KWEB Covered Call Strategy ETF it may not be able to hold such options until expiration. In addition, each FLEX option written generally will only be subject to exercise on its expiration date.

 

KraneShares Hedgeye Hedged Equity Index ETF utilizes both European-style exchange-traded options on the S&P 500 Index and FLEX options on an ETF that seeks to track the S&P 500 Index or a similar large cap securities index. European-style options are option contracts, which are exercisable at the strike price only on the expiration date. The Fund’s current index is the Hedgeye Hedged Equity Index (the “Underlying Index”), which uses Hedgeye Risk Management, LLC’s Risk Range™ signals to determine whether to buy and/or sell such put and call options, and at what strike prices. The Fund may weight the put and call options differently than the Underlying Index and may buy and sell put and call options on different dates than the Underlying Index.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Each Fund, except for the KraneShares Asia Pacific High Income USD Bond ETF, KraneShares KWEB Covered Call Strategy ETF, KraneShares Value Line® Dynamic Dividend Equity Index ETF, KraneShares Mount Lucas Managed Futures Index Strategy ETF, KraneShares Global Carbon Strategy ETF, KraneShares European Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF, KraneShares California Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF and KraneShares Sustainable Ultra Short Duration Index ETF, intends to pay out dividends, if any, at least annually; the KraneShares Asia Pacific High Income USD Bond ETF, KraneShares KWEB Covered Call Strategy ETF and KraneShares Sustainable Ultra Short Duration Index ETF intend to pay out net investment income, if any, at least monthly. The KraneShares Value Line®Dynamic Dividend Equity Index ETF typically distributes any net investment income quarterly. The KraneShares Global Carbon Strategy ETF, KraneShares Mount Lucas Managed Futures Index Strategy ETF, KraneShares European Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF and KraneShares California Carbon Allowance Strategy ETF may pay out net investment income, if any, at least semi-annually in June and December, but may pay such income as frequently as quarterly. The Funds pay out to their shareholders net realized capital gains, if any, once a year (usually in December). Each Fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis. Each Fund reserves the right to declare special distributions, including if, in its reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of the Fund as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code, or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income.

 

Effective January 1, 2025, KraneShares KWEB Covered Call Strategy ETF currently intends to distribute on a monthly basis its option premium income so that the Fund’s monthly distribution percentage does not exceed 2% of net asset value. The Fund’s distribution in December may exceed this amount in order for the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company.

 

CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Funds’ Custodian, if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge of the BBH Overdraft Base Rate plus 2.00%. Cash overdraft charges, if applicable, are included in “Interest Expense” on the Statements of Operations/Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

167

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

SECURITIES LENDING — The Funds may lend securities from their portfolios to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. In connection with such loans, a Fund remains the beneficial owner of the loaned securities and continues to receive payments in amounts approximately equal to the interest, dividends or other distributions payable on the loaned securities. A Fund also has the right to terminate a loan at any time. A Fund does not have the right to vote on securities while they are on loan. Loans of portfolio securities will not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of a Fund’s total assets (including the value of all assets received as collateral for the loan). A Fund will receive collateral in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. If the collateral consists of cash, a Fund will reinvest the cash and pay the borrower a pre-negotiated fee or “rebate” from any return earned on the investment. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, a Fund may experience delays in recovering the loaned securities or exercising its rights in the collateral. In a loan transaction, a Fund will also bear the risk of any decline in value of securities acquired with cash collateral. Krane and a sub-adviser are subject to potential conflicts of interest because the compensation paid to them increases in connection with any net income received by a Fund from a securities lending program. Each Fund pays Krane 10% of any net monthly income received from the investment of cash collateral and loan fees received from borrowers in respect of each securities loan (net of any amounts paid to the custodian and/or securities lending agent or rebated to borrowers) (see Note 4).

 

The following table discloses the securities on loan as of March 31, 2025:

 

    Market Value
Securities on Loan
    Cash Collateral for
Securities on Loan
 
KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF   $ 161,015,033     $ 170,008,414  
KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF     382,567       404,352  
KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF     3,545,732       3,848,110  

 

CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem Shares at NAV and only in large blocks of Shares (each block of Shares for a Fund is a Creation Unit of 25,000 Shares, 50,000 Shares, 100,000 Shares, or multiples thereof). In its discretion, the Trust reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of each Fund’s shares that constitute a Creation Unit.

 

Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the Shares directly from a Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees when buying or selling Shares. If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee may be charged.

 

The Adviser may adjust the transaction fees from time to time based on actual experience.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS — Idle cash and currency balances may be swept into various overnight sweep accounts and are classified as cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities/Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These amounts, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept are available on the next business day.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT — The Adviser serves as investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust on behalf of each Fund and the Adviser (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, Krane is responsible for reviewing, supervising and administering each Fund’s investment program and the general management and administration of the Trust. In addition to these services, to the extent a Fund engages in securities lending, Krane will: (i) determine which securities are available for loan and notify the securities lending agent for a Fund (the “Agent”), (ii) monitor the Agent’s activities to ensure that securities loans are effected in accordance with Krane’s instructions and in accordance with applicable procedures and guidelines adopted by the Board, (iii) make recommendations to the Board regarding the Fund’s participation in securities lending; (iv) prepare appropriate periodic reports for, and seek appropriate periodic approvals from, the Board with respect to securities lending activities, (v) respond to Agent inquiries concerning the Agent’s activities, and (vi) such other related duties as Krane deems necessary or appropriate. The Board supervises Krane and establishes policies that Krane must follow in its management activities.

 

The Agreement requires the Adviser to pay all operating expenses of the Funds, except: (a) interest and taxes (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transaction, transfer and withholding taxes); (b) expenses of the Funds incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions and short sale dividend or interest expense; (c) expenses incurred in connection with any distribution plan adopted by the Trust in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act, including distribution fees; (d) “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” (as defined by Form N-1A under the Investment Company Act); (e) litigation expenses; (f) the compensation payable to the Adviser under the Agreement; (g) compensation and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any fees of independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees); and (h) any expenses determined to be extraordinary expenses by the Board. In addition, under the Agreement, while the fees and expenses related to the Funds’ securities lending-related activities reduce the gross revenues and income of the Funds from such activities, they are not fees and expenses for which Krane is responsible.

 

Each Agreement provides that each Fund pays a unitary (or unified) fee to the Adviser for advisory and management services provided to the Fund, subject to the exceptions noted herein. In this context, there exists a risk that a Trust service provider will seek recourse against the Trust if it is not timely paid by Krane for the fees and expenses for which it is responsible, which could materially adversely affect the Funds. Pursuant to the Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Funds below pay the Adviser a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at the following annual rates, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund. In addition, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser in connection with any securities lending-related activities, each Fund pays the Adviser 10% of the monthly investment income received from the investment of cash collateral and loan fees received from borrowers in respect to securities loans (net of any amounts paid to the custodian and/or securities lending agent or rebated to borrowers), included on the Statements of Operations/Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Security Lending Fees”.

7. TAX INFORMATION

 

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

 

The permanent differences primarily consist of foreign currency translations, investments in passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”), foreign capital gain reclass, net operating loss, Partnership adjustments, perpetual bond adjustments and distribution reclassification. The permanent differences that are credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 are primarily related to redemptions in-kind, distributions in excess and net operating loss.

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

For the KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF and the KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, the difference in unrealized appreciation is attributable to Foreign Capital Gains Tax Payable. For the KraneShares Hedgeye Hedged Equity Index ETF, the difference in unrealized depreciation is attributable to straddles.

 

Uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing the taxation of income distributions and capital gains from investments in A Shares could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Funds. China generally imposes withholding tax at a rate of 10% on dividends and interest derived by non-Chinese resident investors (including, for example, Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“QFII”)) from Chinese companies and those companies which are not Chinese tax residents, but which are deemed to be Chinese tax residents (e.g., under Notice 7). China also imposes withholding tax at a rate of 10% on capital gains derived by non-residents from investment in actual and constructive Chinese resident companies. The Chinese withholding taxes applied to dividends, interest and capital gains may, in principle, be subject to a reduced rate under an applicable Chinese tax treaty, but the application of such treaties in the case of a non-resident (e.g., in the case of a QFII acting on behalf of non-resident investors, such as the Funds) is also uncertain. The imposition of such taxes could have a material adverse effect on the Funds’ returns. The People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) rules regarding the taxation of non-resident investors are quickly evolving and certain of the tax regulations to be issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation and/or the PRC Ministry of Finance to clarify matters may apply retrospectively. Such retroactively applied rules may be adverse to the Funds and their shareholders. It is also unclear how China’s value added tax (“VAT”) may be affected by tax treaty provisions. If such a tax is collected, the expenses will be passed on and borne by the Funds. The imposition of such taxes, as well as future changes in applicable PRC tax law, may adversely affect the Funds. If the Funds expect VAT to be imposed, they reserve the right to establish a reserve for such tax. If the Funds establish such a reserve but are not ultimately subject to the tax, shareholders who redeemed or sold their shares while the reserve was in place will effectively bear the tax and may not benefit from the later release, if any, of the reserve. Conversely, if the Funds do not establish such a reserve but ultimately are subject to the tax, shareholders who redeemed or sold their shares prior to the tax being withheld, reserved or paid will have effectively avoided the tax, even if they benefited from investments in a Fund. Effective November 17, 2014, QFIIs, RQFIIs (i.e., QFIIs investing in Yuan, rather than foreign currency) and non-Chinese resident investors investing through the Hong Kong-Shanghai Stock Connect are exempted temporarily from the 10% capital gains tax that normally applies to sales of A Shares on a public Chinese exchange (such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange). However, such investors are still required to pay capital gains tax for gains realized on trades executed before November 17, 2014.

 

On November 7, 2018, China’s Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued Circular 108. This circular announced a three year exemption from corporate income tax withholding (“WHT”) and Value Added Tax (“VAT”) for China-sourced bond interest derived by overseas institutional investors. The WHT and VAT exemptions were extended to December 31, 2025.

 

In 2020, the PRC government eliminated QFII and RQFII quotas, meaning that entities registered with the appropriate Chinese regulator will no longer be subject to quotas when investing in PRC securities (but will remain subject to foreign shareholder limits), and merged the two programs into the Qualified Foreign Investor regime (“QFI”).

8. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

 

As with all exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. Each Fund is subject to certain of the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. A more complete description of principal risks is included in each Fund’s prospectus under the heading “Principal Risks”.

 

ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE AND TECHNOLOGY RISK — “AI and Technology” companies typically have high research and capital expenditures and, as a result, their profitability can vary widely, if they are profitable at all. The space in which they are engaged is highly competitive and issuers’ products and services may become obsolete very quickly. These companies are heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. The issuers are also subject to legal, regulatory and political changes that may have a large impact on their profitability. A failure in an issuer’s product or even questions about the safety of the product could be devastating to the issuer, especially if it is the marquee product of the issuer. It can be difficult to accurately capture what qualifies as an AI and Technology company.

 

Certain AI and Technology companies may face special risks that their products or services may not prove to be commercially successful. Such companies are also strongly affected by worldwide scientific or technological developments. As a result, their products may rapidly become obsolete. Such companies are also often subject to governmental regulation and may, therefore, be adversely affected by governmental policies. In addition, certain of such companies in which the Fund may invest may not currently be profitable and there can be no assurance that such companies will be profitable in the future.

 

CHINA RISK — The Chinese economy is generally considered an emerging market and can be significantly affected by economic and political conditions in China and surrounding Asian countries. China may be subject to considerable degrees of economic, political and social instability. In addition, the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade with key partners. A downturn in the economies of China’s primary trading partners could slow or eliminate the growth of the Chinese economy and adversely impact the Fund’s investments. The Chinese government strictly regulates the payment of foreign currency denominated obligations and sets monetary policy. The Chinese government may introduce new laws and regulations that could have an adverse effect on the Fund. Although China has begun the process of privatizing certain sectors of its economy, privatized entities may lose money and/or be re-nationalized.

 

In the Chinese securities markets, a small number of issuers may represent a large portion of the entire market. The Chinese securities markets are subject to more frequent trading halts, low trading volume and price volatility. Recent developments in relations between the United States and China have heightened concerns of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two countries. An increase in tariffs or trade restrictions or even the threat of such developments, could lead to significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s export industry and a commensurately negative impact on the Fund.

 

The RMB Bond market is volatile with a risk of trading suspensions in particular securities and government interventions. Trading in RMB Bonds may be suspended without warning and for lengthy periods. Information on such trading suspensions, including as to their expected length, may be unavailable. Securities affected by trading suspensions may be or become illiquid. In recent years, Chinese entities have incurred significant levels of debt and Chinese financial institutions

 

187

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

currently hold relatively large amounts of non-performing debt. Thus, there exists a possibility that widespread defaults could occur, which could trigger a financial crisis, freeze Chinese debt and finance markets and make certain Chinese securities illiquid.

 

In addition, trade relations between the U.S. and China have recently been strained. Worsening trade relations between the two countries could adversely impact the Fund, particularly to the extent that the Chinese government restricts foreign investments in on-shore Chinese companies or the U.S. government restricts investments by U.S. investors in China including by limiting the ability of Chinese issuers to list on the U.S. exchanges. Worsening trade relations may also result in market volatility and volatility in the price of Fund shares. In addition, the U.S government has imposed restrictions on the ability of U.S. investors to hold and/or acquire securities of certain Chinese companies, which may adversely impact the Fund, may mean that the Fund’s Underlying Index may need to adjust its methodology or could increase tracking errors for the Fund.

 

CONCENTRATION RISK — Because the assets of certain Funds are expected to be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or group of industries or sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or a group of related industries, and the securities of companies in that industry or group of industries could react similarly to these or other developments. Depending on the composition of each Fund’s Underlying Index, the Fund may be subject to principal risks, as outlined in each Fund’s prospectus. Each Fund may have significant exposure to other industries or sectors over time.

 

CURRENCY RISK — The Funds’ assets will be invested in instruments denominated in foreign currencies and the income received by the Fund may be in foreign currencies. The Fund will compute and expects to distribute its income in U.S. dollars, and the computation of income will be made on the date that the income is earned by the Fund at the foreign exchange rate in effect on that date. The Fund will conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions either on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time the Fund wishes to enter into the transaction, or through forward, futures or options contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies.

 

The Fund’s NAV is determined on the basis of the U.S. dollar. The Fund may therefore lose value if the local currency of a foreign investment depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the local currency value of the Fund’s holdings goes up. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably, which may adversely affect the Fund. The Fund may also be subject to delays in converting or transferring U.S. dollars to foreign currencies and vice versa. This may adversely affect the Fund’s performance over time.

 

DERIVATIVES RISK — The use of derivatives (including swaps, futures, forwards, structured notes and options) may involve leverage, which includes risks that are different from, and greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in a reference asset, because a small investment in a derivative can result in a large impact on the Fund and may cause the Fund to be more volatile. Derivatives may at times be highly illiquid, and the Fund may not be able to close out or sell a derivative at a particular time or at an anticipated price. Derivatives can be difficult to value and valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil. There may be imperfect correlation between the derivative and that of the reference asset, resulting in unexpected returns that could materially adversely affect the Fund. Certain derivatives (such as swaps and options) are bi-lateral agreements that expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk of loss in the event that

 

188

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of derivative. In that case, the Fund may suffer losses potentially equal to, or greater than, the full value of the derivative if the counterparty fails to perform its obligations. That risk is generally thought to be greater with over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives than with derivatives that are exchange traded or centrally cleared. Counterparty risks are compounded by the fact that there are only a limited number of ways available to invest in certain reference assets and, therefore, there may be few counterparties to swaps or options based on those reference assets.

 

EMERGING MARKETS RISK — A Funds’ investments in emerging markets are subject to greater risk of loss than investments in developed markets. This is due to, among other things, greater market volatility, greater risk of asset seizures and capital controls, lower trading volume, political and economic instability, greater risk of market shutdown and more governmental limitations on foreign investments than typically found in developed markets. The economies of emerging markets, and China in particular, may be heavily reliant upon international trade and may suffer disproportionately if international trading declines or is disrupted.

 

EQUITY SECURITIES RISK — The values of equity securities are subject to factors such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. Equity securities are subject to volatile changes in value and their values may be more volatile than other asset classes. In the event of liquidation, equity securities are generally subordinate in rank to debt and other securities of the same issuer.

 

FUTURES STRATEGY RISK — The use of futures contracts is subject to special risk considerations. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts include: (a) an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the reference asset and the price of the futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a futures contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the inability to predict correctly the direction of market prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors; and (e) if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities or financial instruments from its portfolio to meet daily variation margin requirements, which may lead to the Fund selling securities or financial instruments at a loss.

 

LIQUIDITY RISK — Certain of the Funds’ investments are subject to liquidity risk, which exists when an investment is or becomes difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If a transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is or becomes illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position, which may cause the Funds to suffer significant losses and difficulties in meeting redemptions. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, market turmoil, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants, or the lack of an active trading market. Markets for securities or financial instruments could be disrupted by a number of events, including, but not limited to, an economic crisis, natural disasters, new legislation or regulatory changes inside or outside the U.S. Liquid investments may become less liquid after being purchased by the Fund, particularly during periods of market stress. In addition, if a number of securities held by the Fund stop trading, it may have a cascading effect and cause the Fund to halt trading. Volatility in market prices will increase the risk of the Fund being subject to a trading halt. Certain countries in which the Fund may invest may be subject to extended settlement delays and/or foreign holidays, during which the Fund will unlikely be able to convert holdings to cash.

 

189

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

MARKET RISK — The values of the Fund’s holdings could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve, and/or other government actors could cause volatility in global financial markets, negative sentiment and higher levels of Fund redemptions, which could have a negative impact on the Fund and could result in losses. Geopolitical and other risks, including environmental and public health risks may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Changes in value may be temporary or may last for extended periods. Further, the Fund is susceptible to the risk that certain investments may be difficult or impossible to sell at a favorable time or price. Market developments may also cause the Fund’s investments to become less liquid and subject to erratic price movements. Such market developments may also cause the Fund to encounter difficulties in timely honoring redemptions, especially if market events cause an increased incidence of shareholder redemptions.

 

NEW FUND RISK — If the Fund does not grow in size, it will be at greater risk than larger funds of wider bid-ask spreads for its shares, trading at a greater premium or discount to NAV, liquidation and/or a stop to trading.

 

NON-DIVERSIFIED FUND RISK — Because a Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater portion of its assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single portfolio holding could cause greater fluctuations in the Fund’s share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a single portfolio holding or a relatively small number of portfolio holdings to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

 

OPTIONS RISK — The use of options involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, or in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility of the underlying instrument (known as implied volatility), which in turn are affected by the performance of the issuer of the underlying instrument, by the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract, by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political and economic events. As such, prior to the exercise or expiration of the option, the Fund is exposed to implied volatility risk, meaning the value, as based on implied volatility, of an option may increase due to market and economic conditions or views based on the sector or industry in which issuers of the underlying instrument participate, including company-specific factors.

 

An option is a contract that gives the purchaser (holder) of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (call) or sell to (put) the seller (writer) of the option the security or currency underlying the option at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option (normally not exceeding nine months). The writer of an option has the obligation upon exercise of the option by its purchaser to deliver the underlying security or currency upon payment of the exercise price or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security or currency. Options are derivatives, which, as described above, can be illiquid and can imperfectly correlate with the reference asset(s).

 

VALUATION RISK — Independent market quotations for the non-U.S. securities held by the Funds may not be readily available and such securities may be fair valued by a pricing service at an evaluated price. These valuations involve subjectivity and different market participants may assign different prices to the same investment. As a result, there is a risk that a Fund may not be able to

 

190

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

sell an investment at the price assigned to the investment by the Fund. In addition, the securities in which the Funds invest may trade on days that the Funds do not price their shares; as a result, the value of Fund shares may change on days when investors cannot purchase or sell their holdings.

 

9. REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

The Board of the Trust approved a reverse share split of one to three (1:3) of the issued and outstanding shares of KraneShares KWEB Covered Call Strategy ETF (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Share Split was completed after the close of business on December 31, 2024. The effect of this transaction for the Fund was to reduce the number of outstanding Shares of the Fund by one-third, resulting in a corresponding increase in the NAV per Share. The capital share activity presented on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for each of the years in the period ended, have been given retroactive effect to reflect the reverse share split. There were no changes in net assets, results of operation or total return as a result of this transaction.

 

10. INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

 

In this reporting period, the Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. Krane Funds Advisors, LLC acts as each Fund’s CODM. Each Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and each Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with each Fund’s single investment objective which is executed by each Fund’s portfolio managers. The financial information in the form of each Fund’s schedule of investments, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus each Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for each Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within each Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities/Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statements of Operations/Consolidated Statements of Operations.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Upon the recommendation of Krane Funds Advisors, LLC, the adviser to KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares Dynamic Emerging Markets Strategy ETF and KraneShares Rockefeller℠ Ocean Engagement ETF, each a series of the Trust, the Board has approved the liquidation and termination of each Fund. Accordingly the Funds ceased operations and scheduled for liquidation on or around May 27, 2025.

 

The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures (other than what is disclosed in the preceding paragraph) and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of the date the financial statements were issued.

(1) Return of capital is a payment received from the fund that is not considered to be taxable income. The return of capital distribution is considered to be a return of the investor’s original investment and reduces the investor’s cost basis in the fund.
(2) Qualifying dividends represent dividends which qualify for the corporate dividends received deduction and are reflected as a percentage of ordinary income distributions (the total of short term capital gain and net investment income distributions).
(3) The percentage in this column represents the amount of “Qualifying Dividend Income” as created by the Jobs and Growth Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 and is reflected as a percentage of ordinary income distributions (the total of short term capital gain and net investment income distributions). It is the intention of each of the aforementioned funds to designate the maximum amount permitted by law.
(4) The percentage of this column represents that amount of ordinary dividend income that qualified for 20% Business Income Deduction.
(5) “U.S. Government Interest” represents the amount of interest that was derived from U.S. Government obligations and distributed during the fiscal year. Generally, interest from direct U.S. Government obligations is exempt from state income tax. However, for shareholders who are residents of California, Connecticut and New York, the statutory threshold requirements were not satisfied to permit exemption of these amounts from state income.
(6) The percentage in this column represents the amount of “Interest Related Dividends” and is reflected as a percentage of ordinary income distributions that is exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid for foreign investors.
(7) The percentage in this column represents the amount of “Short Term Capital Gain Dividends” and is reflected as a percentage of short term capital gain distributions that is exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid for foreign investors.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.

 

At a meeting held on March 6-7, 2024, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of KraneShares Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the existing investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane”) and the Trust, on behalf of a new series of the Trust: KraneShares Man Buyout Beta Index ETF (“New Fund”). The Board also considered and approved a proposed new sub-advisory agreement (“Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between KFA, on behalf of the New Fund, and Numeric Investors, LLC (“Man” or “Sub-Adviser”). The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to collectively as the “Agreements.”

 

In advance of the meeting, and at a separate meeting of the Independent Trustees in executive session held on March 6, 2024, the Board received and considered information provided by Krane and the Sub-Adviser in response to the Independent Trustees’ written requests for information regarding the New Fund and the Agreements.

 

The Board noted that it considers information at each of its regularly scheduled meetings related to, among other matters, the services provided by Krane to each series of the Trust and services provided by sub-advisers, such as Man, to particular series of the Trust. The Board recognized that, going forward, such information will include information related to the New Fund after it is operational. The Board also considered that the Independent Trustees receive additional information outside of regularly scheduled Board meetings and at executive sessions held by the Independent Trustees. As a result, the Board considered that its evaluation process with respect to advisory and sub-advisory services provided to the New Fund will be an ongoing one.

 

In evaluating the Agreements with respect to the New Fund, the Board considered, among other matters: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the New Fund by Krane and to Krane by the Sub-Adviser; (2) the proposed compensation to be paid by the New Fund under the Advisory Agreement and any related fee waivers or expense caps, and the proposed compensation to be paid by Krane to the Sub-Adviser of the New Fund; (3) the estimated costs of the services to be provided by Krane and the profitability expectations of Krane with respect to its relationship with the New Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale could be realized as the New Fund grows and whether the unitary fee charged under the Advisory Agreement will enable investors in the New Fund to share in any such economies of scale; and (5) other benefits Krane and the Sub-Adviser anticipate they may receive from their relationship with the New Fund.

Other Information (Form N-CSR Items 8-11) (Unaudited) (continued)

 

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

Based on written and oral reports received by the Board prior to and at the March 6, 2024 executive session of the Independent Trustees and the March 6-7, 2024 meeting of the Board, the Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the overall services to be provided by Krane to the New Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the overall services to be provided by Man to the New Fund. The Board took note of the qualifications, background and responsibilities of personnel at Krane and the Sub-Adviser who will provide services to the New Fund.

 

With respect to the New Fund, the Board noted that the proposed strategy was designed to be a closer proxy for private equity performance and risk exposures than a simple allocation to a standard public equity benchmark. The Board considered that the New Fund will provide: (1) a focus on small/mid capitalization stocks; (2) industry allocations that Man believes are more aligned with private equity deal trends; and (3) avoidance of the types of companies that buyout funds typically do not hold. The Board noted that Man has successfully managed this strategy in a different type of product for more than six years. The Board considered Krane’s involvement with Man in developing the underlying index and refining the strategy for a registered investment company wrapper.

 

The Board recognized that Krane invests significant time and effort in structuring new series of the Trust, including the New Fund. The Board considered Krane’s evaluation of the market appeal for the New Fund and considered that Krane worked with the Trust’s service providers to manage the administrative and other requirements for the New Fund. The Board considered that Krane continually evaluates its existing compliance, operational and investment teams and that Krane has consistently sought to retain qualified and experienced staff in these areas as its business has grown. The Board considered Krane’s current ownership structure, financial strength and long-term strategic plans, and noted that Krane is part of a family of investment management firms with significant resources, including administrative resources utilized by Krane.

 

B. Investment Performance

 

The Board noted that, because the New Fund has not yet commenced investment operations, it has no investment performance. The Board considered that once the New Fund commences operations, the Board will receive regular reports regarding the performance of the New Fund relative to a broad Morningstar peer group, as well as a select group of peers identified by Krane. The Board also considered that at its regular meetings it will receive information regarding the performance of the New Fund against the performance of its respective underlying index. The Board recognized that there are limited peers available for the New Fund.

 

C. Compensation

 

The Board considered that, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Krane will enter into a unitary advisory fee arrangement for the New Fund. The Board also considered that Krane structured the proposed fee for the New Fund in a manner that is consistent with other series of the Trust. The Board took note that under the unitary fee arrangement, Krane will be responsible for paying most of the expenses incurred by the New Fund, including those of its principal service providers, and that Krane takes the risk that the New Fund may not be successful in raising sufficient assets to enable Krane to cover the cost of such expenses.

 

202

 

 

Other Information (Form N-CSR Items 8-11) (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Board considered the proposed fee for the New Fund compared to its respective Morningstar universe, noting that the proposed fees and expenses for the New Fund are higher than the median of the peer group.

 

With respect to the New Fund, the Board noted the significant experience of Man, the proposed sub-adviser, managing a similar strategy and recognized Man’s access to expansive data science, research capabilities and infrastructure resources across its affiliated companies. The Board considered that the New Fund’s strategy targeted the drivers of private equity performance rather than a statistical replication or indirect exposure to private equity. The Board considered Krane’s representation that the New Fund’s total expense ratio was lower than actively managed exchange traded funds that invest in small and mid-capitalization equities.

 

The Board considered that Krane structured the proposed fee for the New Fund in a manner that is consistent with the other thematic series of the Trust. The Board noted that under the unitary fee arrangement, Krane will be responsible for paying most of the expenses incurred by the New Fund, including those of its principal service providers. The Board considered that, under the unitary fee structure, Krane takes the risk that the New Fund may not be successful in raising sufficient assets to enable Krane to cover the cost of such expenses.

 

D. Costs and Profitability

 

The Board considered pro-forma projected profit and loss statements for the New Fund. The Board recognized that, because the New Fund has not yet launched, it is difficult to estimate how profitable it will be to Krane, although the Board recognized that the New Fund will leverage procedures and systems put in place in connection with management of other series of the Trust. The Independent Trustees also considered information from Krane regarding its overall profitability and discussed with Krane’s management how launching the New Fund could impact such profitability. The Board noted Krane’s continuing commitment to operating the Trust and its continued use of a unitary fee structure under which it will bear many of the expenses of the New Fund. Based on these and other considerations, the Board considered that the profitability of the New Fund was not a material factor in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement.

 

E. Other Benefits

 

The Board considered the extent to which Krane could derive ancillary benefits from the operations of the New Fund. The Board considered that Krane would benefit if the New Fund would participate in the Trust’s securities lending program and whether Krane would benefit as a result of its ability to use the New Fund’s assets to engage in soft dollar transactions.

 

F. Economies of Scale

 

The Board considered whether Krane would realize economies of scale with respect to its services as the New Fund grows, including the extent to which this is reflected in the level of fees to be paid by the New Fund. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fees for the New Fund do not include breakpoints, and considered that it is not possible—before the commencement of investment operations—to accurately evaluate potential economies of scale. The Board also noted that Krane continues to reinvest a portion of its profits in its business, including through the evolution of its compliance, operations and investment infrastructure, and that any economies of scale could be shared with the New Fund in this manner. Based on these and other considerations, including that the New Fund is newly organized, the Board considered economies of scale not to be a material factor in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement.

G. Conclusion

 

The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors in their review of the Agreements. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards and judicial precedent applicable to its consideration of the Agreements. The Board noted that, consistent with its approach to other series of the Trust, it will continue to monitor the New Fund at its regular meetings, during executive sessions of the Independent Trustees and outside of the Board meetings. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the advisory arrangements, as outlined in the Agreements, were reasonable in light of the factors considered by the Board.
