| NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION |
Pictet AI & Automation ETF, Pictet AI Enhanced International Equity ETF, Pictet AI Enhanced US Equity ETF and Pictet Cleaner Planet ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are non-diversified series of The 2023 ETF Series Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 23, 2023. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of the Funds’ shares (“Shares”) is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Trust is governed by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Pictet Asset Management S.A. (“Pictet AM SA” or the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. Tidal Investments LLC (“Tidal” or the “Sub-Adviser”) serves as sub-adviser to the Funds. The Trust is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
Pictet AI & Automation ETF, Pictet AI Enhanced International Equity ETF and Pictet Cleaner Planet ETF commenced operations on October 15, 2025 and Pictet AI Enhanced US Equity ETF commenced operations on February 25, 2026.
Each Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) and uses an active investment strategy in seeking to achieve its investment objective.
The investment objective of each Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
| NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
| A. | Security Valuation. Equity securities, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “NASDAQ”), including securities traded over-the-counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from recognized independent pricing agents each day that the Fund is open for business. |
Under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value will be determined for securities for which quotations are not readily available by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable, of the Adviser, subject to oversight by the Board. When a security is “fair valued”, consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Adviser’s Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value (“NAV”) of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.
31
| Notes to the Financial Statements |
March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)
As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

| (b) | Less than 0.05. |
| B. | Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund intends to qualify as regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Sub-Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and accordingly, will generally not be subject to federal and state income taxes or federal excise taxes to the extent that they intend to make sufficient distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains. |
| C. | Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. |
33
| Notes to the Financial Statements |
March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
The Funds report net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
| D. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends received from REITs generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains, and may include return of capital. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. |
| E. | Derivatives Transactions. Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, the SEC imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation and cover framework arising from prior SEC guidance for covering derivatives and certain financial instruments currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and treats derivatives as senior securities. Under Rule 18f-4, a fund’s derivatives exposure is limited through a value-at-risk test. Funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount are required to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, subject to oversight by a fund’s board, and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Funds have implemented a Rule 18f-4 Derivative Risk Management Program that complies with Rule 18f-4. |
| F. | Distributions to Shareholders. The Pictet AI Enhanced International Equity ETF, Pictet AI Enhanced US Equity ETF, Pictet AI & Automation ETF and Pictet Cleaner Planet ETF pay out distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, annually. Distributions from net investment income will fluctuate over time. |
Each Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, to investors at least annually. Each Fund is permitted to declare and pay dividends of its net investment income and net capital gains, if any, more frequently. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
| G. | Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| H. | Share Valuation. The NAV per Share is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. Funds’ Shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE”) is closed for trading. |
| I. | Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. |
34
| Notes to the Financial Statements |
March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)
| J. | Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board-approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) that requires, among other things, that the Funds limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. An illiquid investment is any security that the Funds reasonably expect cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If the Fund should be in a position where the value of illiquid investments held by the Fund exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets, the Fund will take such steps as set forth in the Program. |
| NOTE 3 - PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS |
Active Management Risk. The value of investment may go down if Pictet’s judgments and decisions are incorrect or otherwise do not produce the desired results, or if the Funds’ investment strategy do not work as intended. There might be also losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, investment techniques applied, or the analyses employed or relied on, by Pictet, if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly or otherwise do not work as intended, or if Pictet’s investment style is out of favor or otherwise fails to produce the desired results. In addition, the Funds’ investment strategies or policies may change from time to time. Legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may also affect the investment techniques available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Funds. Those changes and developments may not lead to the results intended by Pictet and could have an adverse effect on the value or performance of the Funds. Any of these factors could cause the Funds to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Artificial Intelligence and Automation Companies Risk. The Pictet AI & Automation ETF invests primarily in the equity securities of artificial intelligence and automation companies and, as such, is particularly sensitive to risks to those types of companies. These risks include, but are not limited to, small or limited markets for such securities, changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, rapid obsolescence, and government regulation. Securities of artificial intelligence and automation companies, especially smaller, start-up companies, tend to be more volatile than securities of companies that do not rely heavily on technology. Rapid change to technologies that affect a company’s products could have a material adverse effect on such company’s operating results. Artificial intelligence and automation companies may rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by these companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies’ technology. Artificial intelligence companies typically engage in significant amounts of spending on research and development, and there is no guarantee that the products or services produced by these companies will be successful.

Convertible Securities Risk. Convertible securities are securities that may be exchanged for, converted into, or exercised to acquire a predetermined number of shares of the issuer’s common stock at an investor’s option during a specified time period (such as convertible preferred stocks, convertible debentures and warrants). A convertible security is generally a fixed income security that is senior to common stock in an issuer’s capital structure but is usually subordinated to similar non-convertible securities. In exchange for the conversion feature, many corporations will pay a lower rate of interest on convertible securities than debt securities of the same corporation. In general, the market value of a convertible security is at least the higher of its “investment value” (i.e., its value as a fixed income security) or its “conversion value” (i.e., its value upon conversion into its underlying common stock).
Cybersecurity Risk. The Funds and their service providers (including the Advisor) are susceptible to cyberattacks and to technological malfunctions that have effects similar to those of a cyberattack. Additionally, outside parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees of a Fund’s service provider (including the Advisor) to disclose sensitive information to gain access to a Fund’s electronic infrastructure. Cyberattacks include, among others, stealing, corrupting, or preventing access to data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services, releasing confidential information without authorization and disrupting operations. Successful cyberattacks against, or security breakdowns of, a Fund, Pictet, or a custodian, transfer agent, or other service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders. For instance, cyberattacks may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, affect a Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, cause the release or misappropriation of confidential shareholder or Fund information, impede trading, interfere with the use of quantitative models, cause reputational damage, and subject the Fund to regulatory fines, penalties or financial losses and additional compliance costs. The Funds’ service providers regularly experience cyberattacks and expect they will continue to do so. In addition, cyberattacks involving a counterparty to a Fund could affect the counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations to the Fund, which may result in losses to the Fund and its shareholders. While Pictet has established business continuity plans and systems designed to prevent, detect and respond to cyberattacks, those plans and systems have inherent limitations, and there is not assurance they will be effective.
Depositary Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts (such as ADRs, GDRs and EDRs) are instruments that represent shares in companies trading outside the markets in which the depositary receipts are traded. Accordingly, whilst the depositary receipts are traded on Recognized Exchanges, there may be other risks associated with such instruments to consider for example the shares underlying the instruments may be subject to political, inflationary, exchange rate or custody risks.
Equity Securities Risk. Equity securities are subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that may directly relate to the issuer as well as due to general industry or market conditions. Common stock is subordinated to preferred securities and debt in a company’s capital structure. Common stock has the lowest priority, and the greatest risk, with respect to dividends and any liquidation payments in the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy.
ETF-Related Risks. Each Fund is an ETF and, as a result of this structure, is exposed to the following risks:
| ○ | Costs of Buying or Selling Shares Risk. Investors buying or selling a Fund’s shares in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers, as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of shares. In addition, secondary market investors will also incur the cost of the difference between the price at which an investor is willing to buy a Fund’s shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which an investor is willing to sell a Fund’s shares (the “ask” price). This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the “spread” or “bid-ask spread.” |
| ○ | Limited Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Risk. Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with a Fund. Each Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. This may result in a significantly diminished trading market for a Fund’s shares, differences between the market price of a Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares, and delisting of the shares. |
36
| Notes to the Financial Statements |
March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)
| ○ | Trading Risk. Although each Fund’s shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained. Secondary market trading in a Fund’s shares may be halted by the Exchange because of market conditions or for other reasons. |
| ○ | Cash Transactions Risk. Each Fund may effect some of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times in order to obtain the cash needed to meet redemption orders. This may cause the Fund to sell a security and recognize a capital gain or loss that might not have been incurred if it had made a redemption in-kind. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund’s shares to trade in the market at wider bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to a Fund’s NAV. |
| ○ | National Closed Market Trading Risk. Because securities held by the Fund trade on non-U.S. exchanges that are closed when the Fund’s primary listing exchange is open, there are likely to be deviations between the current price of an underlying security and the last quoted price for the underlying security (i.e., the Fund’s quote from the closed foreign market) used for purposes of calculating the Fund’s net asset value, resulting in premiums or discounts to the Fund’s net asset value that may be greater than those experienced by other exchange-traded funds. |
Foreign Currency Risk. The Funds may invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. Where the Funds’ NAV is determined in U.S. dollars and the Funds invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities, the Funds’ NAV could decline if the currency of the non-U.S. market in which the fund invests depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the value of the Funds’ holdings, measured in the foreign currency, increases. Among the factors that may affect currency values are trade balances, the level of short-term interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation and political developments. Emerging markets may be susceptible to greater currency fluctuations and greater volatility in currency exchange rates than more developed markets.
Foreign Securities Risk. The Funds may invest in foreign securities, which are generally riskier than U.S. securities. As a result the Funds may be subject to foreign risk, meaning that political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), natural disasters and public health emergencies occurring in a country where the fund invests could cause the fund’s investments in that country to experience losses. For these and other reasons, securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. If the Funds buy securities denominated in a foreign currency, receives income in foreign currencies, or holds foreign currencies from time to time, the value of the Funds’ assets, as measured in U.S. dollars, can be affected unfavorably by changes in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar or other foreign currencies. Foreign markets are also subject to the risk that a foreign government could restrict foreign exchange transactions or otherwise implement unfavorable currency regulations. In addition, foreign securities may be subject to currency exchange rates or regulations, the imposition of economic sanctions, tariffs or other government restrictions, higher transaction and other costs, reduced liquidity, and delays in settlement.
Market Capitalization Risk. Securities of small-cap and mid-cap companies may be subject to greater price volatility, significantly lower trading volumes, cyclical, static or moderate growth prospects and greater spreads between their bid and ask prices than securities of larger companies. In addition, securities of small-cap and mid-cap companies may trade in an over-the-counter market or on a regional exchange, or may otherwise have limited liquidity. Smaller capitalization companies frequently rely on narrower product lines, niche markets, limited financial resources, a few key employees and inexperienced management. Smaller capitalization companies have more speculative prospects for future growth, sustained earnings and market share than larger companies and may be more vulnerable to adverse business or market developments. Accordingly, it may be difficult for the Funds to sell small-cap securities at a desired time or price. Generally, the smaller the company, the greater these risks become. Although securities issued by larger companies tend to have less overall volatility than securities issued by smaller companies, securities issued by larger companies may have less growth potential and may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during strong economic periods. In addition, larger companies may be less capable of responding quickly to competitive challenges and industry changes, including those resulting from improvements in technology, and may suffer sharper price declines as a result of earnings disappointments.

March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)
Security Pricing Risk. The risk of uncertainty of price changes. Usually, the higher the volatility of an asset or instrument, the higher its risk. The prices for securities in which the Funds invest may change significantly in short-term periods.
Operational Risk. The Funds are subject to operational risks resulting from other services provided by Pictet and other service providers, including pricing, administrative, accounting, tax, legal, custody, transfer agency and other operational services. Examples of operational risks include the risk of loss caused by inadequate procedures and controls, human error and system failures by a service provider that result in trading delays or errors that prevent a Fund from realizing investment gains or avoiding losses. In addition, a service provider may be unable to provide a net asset value for a Fund or share class on a timely basis. Pictet is not contractually liable to the Funds for losses associated with operational risk absent its willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its contractual obligations to provide services to the Funds.
Risks Relating to Companies Focused on Robotics, Cybersecurity, Semiconductors and Software. The Funds may be particularly sensitive to the risks affecting companies focused on robotics, cybersecurity, semiconductors and software. These risks include, but are not limited to, small or limited markets for such securities, changes in business cycles, world economic growth, rapidly changing technologies, rapid obsolescence of products and services, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and changes in government regulatory requirements. Securities of such companies, especially smaller, start-up companies, tend to be more volatile than securities of companies that do not rely heavily on technology. Rapid change to technologies that affect a company’s products could have a material adverse effect on such company’s operating results. These companies may rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies.
| NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses incurred by, and appropriately allocated to, the Funds, except for the advisory fee payable to the Adviser; interest charges on any borrowings, taxes, brokerage commissions, and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments; proxy and shareholder meeting expenses (unless the need for a shareholder meeting is caused by the Adviser, such as a change of control of the Adviser); fees and expenses related to the provision of securities lending services; acquired fund fees and expenses (other than management and shareholder service fees paid to the Adviser attributable to the Funds’ investment in such acquired funds); fees and expenses related to the provision of securities lending services; acquired fund fees and expenses; taxes, including accrued deferred tax liability; legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; extraordinary expenses (as mutually determined by the Board and the Adviser); and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Investment Advisory Fees for the period ended March 31, 2026, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
The Sub-Adviser serve as investment sub-adviser to the Funds, pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for portfolio trading oversight as well as trading portfolio securities and other investment instruments on behalf of the Funds and selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, all subject to the supervision of the Adviser and oversight of the Board for the services it provides to each of the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is paid a fee by the Adviser, which is calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows: 4 basis points on the first $250 million of Fund assets; 3 basis points on Fund assets between $250 million and $1 billion; 2.5 basis points on Fund assets between $1 billion and $3 billion; 2 basis points on Fund assets between $3 billion and $5 billion; and 1.5 basis points on Fund assets above $5 billion, subject to a $25,000 minimum annual fee.
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”) serves as the administrator, custodian and transfer agent to the Funds. For services provided under the administration agreement with the Trust, BBH is entitled to a fee based on assets under management, paid by the Adviser.
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds’ Shares.
Certain officers and a trustee of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser. Neither the affiliated trustee nor the Trust’s officers receive compensation from the Funds.
The Board has adopted a Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of its Shares. No Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds, and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, because the fees are paid out of the Funds’ assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than certain other types of sales charges.

| NOTE 7 - SHARES TRANSACTIONS |
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in large blocks of shares, called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
The Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard creation transaction fees for the Funds regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction, are presented in the table below.
| Fund | Creation Transaction Fee |
| Pictet AI & Automation ETF | $500 |
| Pictet AI Enhanced International Equity ETF | $1,000 |

| NOTE 8 - RECENT MARKET EVENTS |
U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including uncertainty regarding inflation and central banks’ interest rate changes, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions and tariffs, political events, armed conflict, war, and geopolitical conflict. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. As a result, the risk environment remains elevated. The Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Funds in a manner consistent with achieving the Funds’ investment objective, but there can be no assurance that they will be successful in doing so.
| NOTE 9 - SEGMENT REPORTING |
The Officers of the Funds act as the Funds' chief operating decision maker (CODM) assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that each Fund operates as a single segment. The CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and each Fund makes investments in accordance with its investment objective as outlined in its prospectus. The financial information used by the CODM is consistent with that presented in each Fund's Schedule of Investments, Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.
The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies. The financial statements include all the details of the segment assets, segment revenue and expenses, and reflect the financial result of the segment.

| Board Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements |
At meetings held on June 9, 2025 and August 18, 2025 (the “Meetings”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of The 2023 ETF Series Trust (“Trust”) considered and approved, for an initial two year term, the following agreements (the “Agreements”) with respect to the Pictet Cleaner Planet ETF, Pictet AI-Enhanced International Equity ETF, Pictet AI & Automation ETF, Pictet Emerging Markets Debt ETF and Pictet Emerging Market Rising Economies ETF (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”), each a new series of the Trust:
| · | the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Pictet Asset Management S.A. with respect to the Pictet Cleaner Planet ETF, Pictet AI-Enhanced International Equity ETF, and Pictet AI & Automation ETF; and |
| · | the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between Pictet Asset Management S.A. and Tidal Investments LLC, with respect to the Pictet Cleaner Planet ETF, Pictet AI Enhanced International Equity ETF and Pictet AI & Automation ETF. |
The Board, which is comprised solely of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), was advised by legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Agreements, the Board requested, and Pictet Asset Management S.A. (the “Adviser”), along with Tidal Investments LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), provided such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. The Board also met with representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser at the Meetings, during which the Independent Trustees and the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s representatives discussed the materials that had been provided as well as other related matters concerning the Funds. In determining whether to approve the Agreements, the Board considered various factors, including (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to the Funds; (ii) the investment objective and strategy for the Funds and, because the Funds are new and therefore have no performance record, how the Funds’ strategies might be expected to perform in the future; (iii) the profits anticipated to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from providing advisory and sub-advisory services to the Funds; (iv) fees charged to comparable funds; (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be shared as the Funds grow; and (vi) other factors the Board deemed to be relevant.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board reviewed the Agreements and both the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s anticipated responsibilities with respect to providing investment advisory and sub-advisory services to the Funds. The Board noted that (i) the Adviser’s responsibilities include providing a continuous investment program for the Funds, overseeing the activities of the Sub-Adviser, including regular review of the Sub-Adviser’s performance, overseeing general portfolio compliance with relevant law, monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures and applicable securities regulations, periodic reporting to the Board, and implementing Board directives as they relate to the Funds; and (ii) the Sub-Adviser’s responsibilities include portfolio management, including evaluating and selecting investments for the Funds, trading portfolio securities and other investment instruments on behalf of the Funds, and selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and oversight of the Board.
The Board considered the background, sophistication and experience of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management and regulatory compliance of the Funds. The Board also considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s extensive administrative and compliance infrastructures. The Board appreciated the fact that both the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser have deep experience and expertise serving as the investment adviser or sub-adviser to other pooled investment vehicles.
44
The Board considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management resources, structures and practices, including those associated with monitoring and seeking to ensure the Funds’ compliance with their respective investment objectives and policies and with applicable laws and regulations. The Board also considered information about the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s overall investment management businesses, including the financial resources available to them needed to deliver high quality advisory and sub-advisory services to the Funds.
Investment Performance
Because the Funds are new and have not yet commenced operations, the Board noted that there was no historical performance records to consider. The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser the proposed portfolio management teams and the investment strategies to be employed in the management of the Funds’ assets. The Board considered the Adviser’s and the Sub-Adviser’s reputations and experience, including their experience managing other accounts.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board reviewed the advisory fee to be paid by the Funds to the Adviser and the sub-advisory fee to be paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser for their respective services to be provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Board reviewed a report prepared by an independent third-party comparing the Funds’ advisory fee to those paid by a group of peer funds. The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee for the Funds is a “unitary fee,” meaning that the Funds pay no expenses other than the advisory fee and certain expenses customarily excluded from unitary fee arrangements, such as brokerage commissions, taxes, and interest. The Board noted that the proposed management fees for the Pictet Cleaner Planet ETF and Pictet AI-Enhanced International Equity ETF were below their peer group medians, while the proposed management fee for the Pictet AI & Automation ETF was slightly above its peer group median. The Board further noted that, under the Agreements, the Adviser is responsible for compensating the Funds’ other service providers, including the Sub-Adviser, and paying the Funds’ other expenses out of their own fees and resources.
Profitability and Economies of Scale
The Board considered information concerning the anticipated profitability of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from managing the Funds. The Board appreciated that, because the Funds are new, information concerning the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Funds was based on estimates and therefore, to a large degree, speculative. The Board noted that it will have opportunities in the future to consider and evaluate each of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s profitability from managing the Funds after the Funds commence operations and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser begin receiving their respective fees. The Board also considered whether economies of scale or other efficiencies might result as the Funds’ assets grow. As the Funds have not yet commenced operations, the Board observed that it is difficult to draw any meaningful conclusions. However, the Board noted the commitment being made by the Adviser by structuring its advisory fees as a unitary fee, which effectively acts as a cap on the Funds’ total expense ratios. The Board noted that it intends to monitor for the existence of economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds.
Other Benefits
The Board considered other benefits that might be derived by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Funds. The Board considered the potential benefits flowing to the Adviser from sponsoring for the first time an exchange-traded fund.
Conclusion
After reviewing these and other factors, the Board concluded, in the context of its overall review of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided supported its approval of the Agreements and that the fee to be charged thereunder was reasonable. In the Independent Trustees’ deliberations, each Trustee gave specific factors the weight that Trustee thought appropriate. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the Agreements on behalf of the Funds; rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it.

At a meeting held on December 16-17, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of The 2023 ETF Series Trust (“Trust”) considered and approved, for an initial two year term, the following agreements (the “Agreements”) with respect to the Pictet AI Enhanced US Equity ETF (the “Fund”), a new series of the Trust:
| · | the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Pictet Asset Management S.A. (the “Adviser”), pursuant to which the Adviser will provide advisory services to the Fund; and |
| · | the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Tidal Investments LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), pursuant to which the Sub-Adviser will provide sub-advisory services to the Fund. |
The Board, which is comprised solely of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), was advised by legal counsel throughout the process.
To evaluate the Agreements, the Board requested, and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided such materials as the Board, with the advice of counsel, deemed reasonably necessary. The Board also met with representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser at the Meeting, during which the Independent Trustees and the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s representatives discussed the materials that had been provided as well as other related matters concerning the Fund. In determining whether to approve the Agreements, the Board considered various factors, including (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to the Fund; (ii) the investment objective and strategy for the Fund and, because the Fund is new and therefore has no performance record, how the Fund’s strategies might be expected to perform in the future; (iii) the profits anticipated to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from providing advisory and sub-advisory services to the Fund; (iv) fees charged to comparable funds; (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be shared as the Fund grows; and (vi) other factors the Board deemed to be relevant.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board reviewed the Agreements and both the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s anticipated responsibilities with respect to providing investment advisory and sub-advisory services to the Fund. The Board noted that (i) the Adviser’s responsibilities include the general portfolio management and administration of the Fund, arranging for sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution related services necessary for the Fund to operate, overseeing the activities of the Sub-Adviser, including monitoring of the purchase and sale of securities by the Sub-Adviser and regular review of the Sub-Adviser’s performance, overseeing general portfolio compliance with relevant law, monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures and applicable securities regulations, periodic reporting to the Board, and implementing Board directives as they relate to the Fund; and (ii) the Sub-Adviser’s responsibilities include portfolio trading oversight as well as trading portfolio securities and other investment instruments on behalf of the Fund and selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, all subject to the supervision of the Adviser and oversight of the Board.
The Board considered the background, sophistication and experience of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management and regulatory compliance of the Fund. The Board also considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s extensive administrative and compliance infrastructures. The Board appreciated the fact that both the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser have deep experience and expertise serving as the investment adviser or sub-adviser to other pooled investment vehicles.
The Board considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management resources, structures and practices, including those associated with monitoring and seeking to ensure the Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies and with applicable laws and regulations. The Board also considered information about the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s overall investment management businesses, including the financial resources available to them needed to deliver high quality advisory and sub-advisory services to the Fund.

Investment Performance
Because the Fund is new and has not yet commenced operations, the Board noted that there were no historical performance records to consider. The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser the proposed portfolio management teams and the investment strategies to be employed in the management of the Fund’s assets. The Board considered the Adviser’s and the Sub-Adviser’s reputations and experience, including their experience managing other accounts.
Fees Charged to Comparable Funds
The Board reviewed the advisory fee to be paid by the Fund to the Adviser and the sub-advisory fee to be paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser for their respective services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreements. The Board reviewed a report prepared by an independent third-party comparing the Fund’s advisory fee to those paid by a group of peer funds. The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee for the Fund is a “unitary fee,” meaning that the Fund pays no expenses other than the advisory fee and certain expenses customarily excluded from unitary fee arrangements, such as brokerage commissions, taxes, and interest. The Board noted that that the proposed management fee for the Fund was the lowest among its peer group. The Board further noted that, under the Agreements, the Adviser is responsible for compensating the Fund’s other service providers, including the Sub-Adviser, and paying the Fund’s other expenses out of its own fees and resources.
Profitability and Economies of Scale
The Board considered information concerning the anticipated profitability of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from managing the Fund. The Board appreciated that, because the Fund is new, information concerning the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Fund was based on estimates and therefore, to a large degree, speculative. The Board noted that it will have opportunities in the future to consider and evaluate each of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s profitability from managing the Fund after the Fund commences operations and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser begin receiving their respective fees. The Board also considered whether economies of scale or other efficiencies might result as the Fund’s assets grow. As the Fund has not yet commenced operations, the Board observed that it is difficult to draw any meaningful conclusions. However, the Board noted the commitment being made by the Adviser by structuring their advisory fees as a unitary fee, which effectively acts as a cap on the Fund’s total expense ratios. The Board noted that it intends to monitor for the existence of economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund.
Other Benefits
The Board considered other benefits that might be derived by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board considered the potential benefits flowing to the Adviser, Pictet Asset Management S.A. from sponsoring a family of exchange-traded funds.
Conclusion
After reviewing these and other factors, the Board concluded, in the context of its overall review of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided supported its approval of the Agreements and that the fee to be charged thereunder was reasonable. In the Independent Trustees’ deliberations, each Trustee gave specific factors the weight that Trustee thought appropriate. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the Agreements on behalf of the Fund; rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it.
