NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘GAAP’’), which require the use of estimates and assumptions to be made by management. These may 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.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements.
a. Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP as detailed in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’). Each Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in FASB ASC Topic 946 ‘‘Financial Services — Investment Companies.’’
b. Investment Valuation
Net asset value (“NAV”) per Share for each Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of such Fund (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities) by the total number of Shares outstanding. Expenses and fees are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining NAV. The Funds’ NAVs are calculated by the Administrator and determined as of the close of the regular trading session on the NYSE (ordinarily 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day that such exchange is open.
The Funds record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as 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.
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) designated the Adviser as the valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”) responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The Valuation Designee is responsible for assessing and managing valuation risks, administering the pricing and valuation guidelines approved by the Board, and overseeing pricing services utilized in valuing the Trust’s security holdings, among other responsibilities outlined in rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. When the Valuation Designee determines that the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable, it may in good faith establish a fair value for that security in accordance with the pricing and valuation guidelines. The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Exchange-traded funds listed on an exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. If no sales occurred during the day, investments are valued at the mean between closing bid and asked prices and categorized as Level 2.

WEBs ETF Trust Notes
to Financial Statements |
Fixed-income securities are valued according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, generally at the mean of the bid and asked quotes for U.S. Treasury securities and at the bid or evaluated bid price for corporate bonds. The Funds place excess cash balances into overnight time deposits with one or more eligible deposit institutions that meet credit and risk standards approved by the Funds. These are classified as short-term investments in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments. Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value, and characterized as Level 2.
Non-exchange traded derivatives (e.g. non-exchange traded swap agreements) are generally valued using independent sources and/or agreement with counterparties or other procedures approved by the Board and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Funds’ own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The following tables summarize the valuation of the Funds’ assets and liabilities under the fair value hierarchy levels as of April 30, 2026:

SWAP AGREEMENTS
The Funds invest in swap agreements that reference their respective underlying ETF (the “Underlying ETF”), by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of their net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that achieve the investment results of the respective Index. Swap agreements are contracts entered into primarily with major financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on predetermined investments or instruments for a specified time period. The Funds expect to enter into one or more over-the-counter (“OTC”) swap agreements with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than

to Financial Statements |
one year to provide exposure to the investment performance of the Index. The terms of the Funds’ OTC swap agreement are expected to provide payments whereby only the net amount is paid to the counterparty entitled to receive the net payment. The Funds’ obligations (or rights) under the OTC swap agreement will be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement, based on the relative values of the positions held by each counterparty. Certain agreements are structured so that the finance fee is paid at regular intervals, while asset income and any capital appreciation or depreciation are settled at maturity. Alternatively, all three components may be paid periodically upon a change in the notional value of the contract, with a final settlement at maturity. The payment frequency of open swap agreements as of period-end is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Net receipts or payments are recorded as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains and losses are realized upon reset and/or termination of a swap contract or when receipts or payments are exchanged.
TOTAL RETURN SWAPS
The Funds enter into total return swaps to gain exposure and benefit from a reference asset (single asset, or a basket of assets) without actually having to own it. Total return swaps are agreements where the total return of a reference asset is paid in exchange for periodic cash flows, either fixed or variable, and typically a floating rate such as OBFR (Overnight Bank Funding Rate) +/- a basis point spread. The deal is structured such that the total return (asset income plus capital appreciation/depreciation) is exchanged, in the cash flows. Periodic payments received or made by the Funds are recorded as realized gain or loss from swap agreements on the Statements of Operations.

The Funds typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreement” or “MA”) with their OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to OTC counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the OTC counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination. In the event of a default by an OTC counterparty, the return of collateral with market value in excess of the Funds’ net liability, held by the defaulting party, may be delayed or denied. The Funds’ ISDA Master Agreements may contain provisions for early termination of OTC derivative transactions in the event the net assets of the Funds decline below specific levels (“net asset contingent features”). If these levels are triggered, the Funds’ OTC counterparty has the right to terminate such transaction and require the Funds to pay or receive a settlement amount in

connection with the terminated transaction. If OTC derivatives were held at period end, please refer to netting arrangements by the OTC counterparty tables below for additional details. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
All OTC derivatives held at period end were subject to netting arrangements. The following table presents the Funds’ derivative assets and liabilities by OTC counterparty net of amounts available for offset under ISDA Master Agreements and net of the related collateral received/pledged by the Funds as of April 30, 2026.

^ Net amount represents the net receivable (payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty in the event of default or termination. The net amount from OTC financial derivative instruments can only be netted across transactions governed under the same master agreement with the same counterparty.
* The actual collateral received/pledged may be more than the amount reported due to overcollateralization.
e. Security Transactions and Net Investment Income
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Net realized gains and losses from sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the constant yield method. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual expenses.
f. Short-term Instruments
The Funds may invest in short-term instruments (with maturities of less than one year), including money market instruments, cash and cash equivalents, on an ongoing basis to achieve its investment objective, provide liquidity or for other reasons.

g. Dividend Distributions
The Funds expect to declare and distribute all its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends annually. The Funds will distribute capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and recorded on the ex-dividend date.
h. Reclassification
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or the NAV per share.
i. Federal Income Taxes
It is the Funds’ intention to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
j. Segment Reporting
An operating segment is 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 entities’ 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. The CODM is the President and Principal Executive Officer of the Trust. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each Fund’s income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Funds, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

NOTE 5 — ISSUANCE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES
Individual Funds Shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of Fund Shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, Fund Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). Additionally, a shareholder may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay for Fund Shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Fund Shares (ask) when buying or selling Fund Shares on the secondary market (“bid-ask spread”). A Fund will only issue or redeem shares that have been aggregated into blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor. A Fund generally will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a designated portfolio of securities (and an amount of cash) that the Fund specifies each day. A transaction fee of $250 is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or redemption of Creation Units, as applicable. The Creation/Redemption Transaction Fee may be waived for a Fund when the Adviser believes that waiver of such fee is in the best interest of the Fund. An additional charge or a variable charge will be applied to certain creation and redemption transactions, including non-standard orders and whole or partial cash purchases or redemptions.
NOTE 6 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Each Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to their shareholders. Management of the Funds is required to determine whether a tax position taken by a Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in the tax periods that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal, and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations.
The United States federal income tax basis of the Funds’ investments and the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of April 30, 2026 were as follows:

NOTE 7 — INDEMNIFICATION
In the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Trust organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. 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, the Trust expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
NOTE 8 — RISKS
As with all investments, there are certain risks of investing in the Funds. Fund Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Funds, regardless of the order in which it appears. Additional principal risks are disclosed in each Fund’s respective prospectus. Please refer to the respective Fund’s prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks of investing in a Fund.
Cash Position Risk
A Fund’s Cash Position may include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, including bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, money market funds, short term bond ETFs and corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper. Some securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies and U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, in which case the investor must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the security for ultimate repayment, and may not be able to assert a claim against the United States itself in the event that the agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment. The U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities do not guarantee the market value of their securities, and consequently, the value of such securities may fluctuate. Although the Funds may hold securities that carry U.S. Government guarantees, these guarantees do not extend to Fund Shares.
72
|
WEBs ETF Trust Notes
to Financial Statements |
Money market funds are subject to management fees and other expenses. Therefore, investments in money market funds will cause a Fund to bear indirectly a proportional share of the fees and costs of the money market funds in which it invests. At the same time, the Fund will continue to pay its own management fees and expenses with respect to all of its assets, including any portion invested in the shares of the money market fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in money market funds.
Concentration Risk
Each Fund will concentrate in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries to the same extent as its Underlying ETF. To the extent a Fund has significant exposure in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund was more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes a Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.
Defined Volatility Strategy Risk
A Fund, in seeking to implement the Index strategy, will likely experience returns that differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from the returns of the Underlying ETF. The defined volatility strategy employed by the Funds may reduce exposure to the respective Underlying ETF when short-term volatility is higher than the Defined Volatility Rate and Underlying ETF returns are in a negative trend, which could result in the strategy not participating in positive returns when markets switch from a negative trend to a positive trend. Conversely, the Funds may increase exposure to their respective Underlying ETF when short-term volatility is lower than the Defined Volatility Rate and market returns are in a positive trend, which could result in increased negative returns when markets switch from a positive trend to a negative trend.
Derivatives Risk
The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfil its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: changing supply and demand relationships; government programs and policies; national and international political and economic events, changes in interest rates, inflation and deflation and changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities.
Equity Securities Risk
The Funds’ exposure to equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market. Such declines may relate directly to the issuer of a security or broader economic or market events, including changes in interest rates.
Market Risk
Overall securities market risks will affect the value of individual instruments in which the Funds invest, and the market price of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may additionally be impacted by negative external and or direct and indirect economic factors such as global trade policies, economic growth and market conditions, interest rates, war, terrorism, natural and environmental disasters,
73
|
WEBs ETF Trust Notes
to Financial Statements |
public health emergencies and political events affect the markets in which the Funds invest. The adverse impact of any one or more of these events on the market value of the Funds’ investments could be significant and cause losses. In stressed market conditions, the market for the Funds’ shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Funds’ underlying portfolio holdings. This adverse effect on liquidity in turn could lead to wider bid-ask spreads and differences between the market price of the Funds and the underlying value of those shares.
Non-Diversification Risk
Each Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Funds are only limited as to the percentage of their assets which may be invested in the securities of any one issuer by the diversification requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, a Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly invested in certain issuers.
Swap Agreement Risk
Each Fund expects to use swap agreements as a means to achieve its investment objective. Swap agreements are generally traded in OTC markets and have only recently become subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). CFTC rules, however, do not cover all types of swap agreements. Investors, therefore, may not receive the protection of CFTC regulation or the statutory scheme of the Commodity Exchange Act in connection with the Funds’ swap agreements. The lack of regulation in these markets could expose investors to significant losses under certain circumstances, including in the event of trading abuses or financial failure by participants. Unlike in futures contracts, the counterparty to uncleared OTC swap agreements is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a clearing organization backed by a group of financial institutions. As a result, a Fund is subject to increased counterparty risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to uncleared swaps. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund could suffer significant losses on these contracts and the value of an investor’s investment in the Fund may decline. OTC swaps of the type that may be utilized by the Funds are less liquid than futures contracts because they are not traded on an exchange, do not have uniform terms and conditions, and are generally entered into based upon the creditworthiness of the parties and the availability of credit support, such as collateral, and in general, are not transferable without the consent of the counterparty. Swaps are also subject to the risk of imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset underlying the swap and the swap. Leverage inherent in derivatives will tend to magnify a Fund’s gains and losses. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the strategy has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in a Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the Fund from achieving their investment objective. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning.
The Funds will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to level of value at risk (“VaR”) that the Funds may incur through their derivative portfolio. To the extent a Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s investment strategy, including the desired daily leveraged performance for the Fund.
74

WEBs ETF Trust Notes

Underlying ETF Risk
Because the Funds seek exposure to their respective Underlying ETF, the Funds’ investment performance largely depends on the investment performance and associated risks of the Underlying ETF. Each Underlying ETF is subject to many of the same structural risks as the Funds. However, the risks of investing in an ETF also include the risks associated with the underlying investments held by the ETF. As such, each Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its exposure to its respective Underlying ETF:
Equity Securities Risk
Each Underlying ETF invests in equity securities, and therefore each Fund has exposure to the equity securities markets due to its investment in the Underlying ETF or in other instruments that reference the Underlying ETF. Equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market. Such declines may relate directly to the issuer of a security or broader economic or market events, including changes in interest rates. The value of shares will fluctuate with changes in the value of the equity securities the Underlying ETF invests in.
Information Technology Companies Risk (WEBs SPY Defined Volatility ETF and WEBs QQQ Defined Volatility ETF)
Each Underlying ETF invests significantly in information technology companies, which results in each Fund having significant exposure to such companies through its exposure to the Underlying ETF by virtue of its investment in the Underlying ETF or in other instruments that reference the Underlying ETF. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins. Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.
Energy Sector Risk (WEBs Energy XLE Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the energy sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the energy sector than a fund that is more diversified. Issuers in energy-related industries can be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of energy fuels. Markets for various energy-related commodities can have significant volatility and are subject to control or manipulation by large producers or purchasers. Companies in the energy sector may need to make substantial expenditures and to incur significant amounts of debt, in order to maintain or expand their reserves. Oil and gas exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters as well as changes in exchange rates, interest rates, government regulation, world events and economic conditions. These companies may be at risk for environmental damage claims.
75
|
WEBs ETF Trust Notes
to Financial Statements |
Materials Sector Risk (WEBs Materials XLB Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the materials sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the materials sector than a fund that is more diversified. Many materials companies are significantly affected by the level and volatility of commodity prices, exchange rates, import controls, worldwide competition, environmental policies and consumer demand. At times, worldwide production of industrial materials has exceeded demand as a result of over-building or economic downturns, leading to poor investment returns or losses. Other risks may include liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control. The materials sector may also be affected by economic cycles, technical progress, labor relations, and government regulations.
Industrials Sector Risk (WEBs Industrials XLI Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the industrials sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the industrials sector than a fund that is more diversified. Industrial companies are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrial sector products in general. Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities will likewise affect the performance of these companies. Aerospace and defense companies, a component of the industrial sector, can be significantly affected by government spending policies because companies involved in this industry rely, to a significant extent, on U.S. and foreign government demand for their products and services. Thus, the financial condition of, and investor interest in, aerospace and defense companies are heavily influenced by governmental defense spending policies which are typically under pressure from efforts to control the U.S. (and other) government budgets. Transportation securities, a component of the industrial sector, are cyclical and have occasional sharp price movements which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements and insurance costs.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk (WEBs Consumer Discretionary XLY Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the consumer discretionary sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the consumer discretionary sector than a fund that is more diversified. The success of consumer product manufacturers and retailers is tied closely to the performance of the overall domestic and global economy, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence. Success depends heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending. Also, companies in the consumer discretionary sector may be subject to severe competition, which may have an adverse impact on their respective profitability. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes can also affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk (WEBs Consumer Staples XLP Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the consumer staples sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the consumer staples sector than a fund that is more diversified. Consumer staples companies are subject to government regulation affecting their products
76
|
WEBs ETF Trust Notes
to Financial Statements |
which may negatively impact such companies’ performance. For instance, government regulations may affect the permissibility of using various food additives and production methods of companies that make food products, which could affect company profitability. Tobacco companies may be adversely affected by the adoption of proposed legislation and/or by litigation. Also, the success of food, beverage, household and personal product companies may be strongly affected by consumer interest, marketing campaigns and other factors affecting supply and demand, including performance of the overall domestic and global economy, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence and spending.
Health Care Sector Risk (WEBs Health Care XLV Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the health care sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the health care sector than a fund that is more diversified. Companies in the health care sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the health care sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Health care companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the health care sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Financial Sector Risk (WEBs Financial XLF Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the financial sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the financial sector than a fund that is more diversified. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation, which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financial sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.

Technology Sector Risk (WEBs Technology XLK Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the technology sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the technology sector than a fund that is more diversified. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a major effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.
Communication Services Sector Risk (WEBs Communication Services XLC Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the communication services sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the communication services sector than a fund that is more diversified. Communication services companies are particularly vulnerable to the potential obsolescence of products and services due to technological advancement and the innovation of competitors. Companies in the communication services sector may also be affected by other competitive pressures, such as pricing competition, as well as research and development costs, substantial capital requirements and government regulation. Additionally, fluctuating domestic and international demand, shifting demographics and often unpredictable changes in consumer tastes can drastically affect a communication services company’s profitability. While all companies may be susceptible to network security breaches, certain companies in the communication services sector may be particular targets of hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information or disruptions in service, which could have a material adverse effect on their businesses.
Utilities Sector Risk (WEBs Utilities XLU Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the utilities sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the utilities sector than a fund that is more diversified. Utility companies are affected by supply and demand, operating costs, government regulation, environmental factors, liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities, and rate caps or rate changes. Although rate changes of a regulated utility usually fluctuate in approximate correlation with financing costs, due to political and regulatory factors rate changes ordinarily occur only following a delay after the changes in financing costs. This factor will tend to favorably affect a regulated utility company’s earnings and dividends in times of decreasing costs, but conversely, will tend to adversely affect earnings and dividends when costs are rising. The value of regulated utility equity securities may tend to have an inverse relationship to the movement of interest rates. Certain utility companies have experienced full or partial deregulation in recent years. These utility companies are frequently more similar to industrial companies in that they are subject to greater competition and have been permitted by regulators to diversify outside of their original geographic regions and
78
|
WEBs ETF Trust Notes
to Financial Statements |
their traditional lines of business. These opportunities may permit certain utility companies to earn more than their traditional regulated rates of return. Some companies, however, may be forced to defend their core business and may be less profitable. In addition, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, government intervention or other factors may render a utility company’s equipment unusable or obsolete and negatively impact profitability. Among the risks that may affect utility companies are the following: risks increase in fuel and other operating costs; the high cost of borrowing to finance capital construction during inflationary periods; restrictions on operations and increased costs and delays associated with compliance with environmental and nuclear safety regulations; and the difficulties involved in obtaining natural gas for resale or fuel for generating electricity at reasonable prices. Other risks include those related to the construction and operation of nuclear power plants, the effects of energy conservation and the effects of regulatory changes.
Real Estate Sector Risk (WEBs Real Estate XLRE Defined Volatility ETF)
The Underling ETF’s assets will be concentrated in the real estate sector, which means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the real estate sector than a fund that is more diversified. An investment in a real property company may be subject to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including, by way of example, the possibility of declines in the value of real estate, losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, environmental liability, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes, and operating expenses. Some real property companies have limited diversification because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property.
REIT Risk (WEBs Real Estate XLRE Defined Volatility ETF)
REITs are subject to the risks associated with investing in the securities of real property companies. In particular, REITs may be affected by changes in the values of the underlying properties that they own or operate. Further, REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills, and their investments may be concentrated in relatively few properties, or in a small geographic area or a single property type. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency and, as a result, are particularly reliant on the proper functioning of capital markets. A variety of economic and other factors may adversely affect a lessee’s ability to meet its obligations to a REIT. In the event of a default by a lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a lessor and may incur substantial costs associated in protecting its investments. In addition, a REIT could fail to qualify for favorable tax or regulatory treatment.
Large Capitalization Companies Risk
Each Underlying ETF invests in the securities of large capitalization companies, which results in each Fund having significant exposure to such companies through its exposure to the Underlying ETF by virtue of its investment in the Underlying ETF or in other instruments that reference the Underlying ETF. Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies. Thus, the return on investment in securities of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in securities of small and/or mid capitalization companies. The performance of large capitalization companies also tends to trail the overall market during different market cycles.
