NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Hedgeye Capital Allocation ETF (“Capital Allocation”), Hedgeye Quality Growth ETF (“Quality Growth”), Hedgeye 130/30 Equity ETF (“130/30 Equity”), and Hedgeye Fourth Turning ETF (“Fourth Turning”) (collectively, the “Funds”) are each a non-diversified series of ETF Opportunities Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which was organized on March 18, 2019 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The offering of the Funds’ shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Capital Allocation ETF commenced operations on July 1, 2025, Quality Growth ETF commenced operations on June 11, 2025, 130/30 Equity ETF commenced operations on December 11, 2025, and Fourth Turning ETF commenced operations on November 21, 2025.
Each Fund’s objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
The Funds are each deemed to be individual operating and reporting segments and are not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy, as outlined in the Funds’ prospectus under the heading, “Principal Investment Strategies,” are used by Hedgeye Asset Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) to make investment decisions, and the results of the Funds’ operations, as shown in its Statements of Operations and Financial Highlights, are the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Funds. Due to the significance of oversight and its role in the Funds’ management, each Fund’s portfolio managers are deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies.”
Security Valuation
The Funds record investments, including warrants, at fair value. Generally, the Funds’ domestic securities (including underlying ETFs which hold portfolio securities primarily listed on foreign (non-U.S.) exchanges) are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each security’s primary exchange. Securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale

|
on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such exchange. Although the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) is ultimately responsible for fair value determinations under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s assets to the Advisor as the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Funds’ policies and procedures. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally are valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask price on such over-the-counter market. Investments in money market funds are valued at their Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share, as reported by such investment companies.
Exchange traded options are valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the exchange on which such options are traded. Futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the exchange, or, if no settlement price is available, at the last sale price as of the close of business prior to when a Fund calculates the NAV. Other securities for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee. Swap agreements and other derivatives are generally valued daily depending on the type of instrument and reference assets based upon market prices, the mean between bid and asked price quotations from market makers, by a pricing service at a price received from the counterparty to the swap, or by the Valuation Designee in accordance with the valuation procedures approved by the Board.
The Funds have a policy that contemplates the use of fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of each Fund when market prices are unavailable as well as under special circumstances, such as: (i) if the primary market for a portfolio security suspends or limits trading or price movements of the security; and (ii) when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded, but prior to the time of which the Fund’s NAV is calculated, that is likely to have changed the value of the security. Since most of the Funds’ investments are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, it is anticipated that the use of fair value pricing will be limited.
When the Funds use fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of the Funds, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Valuation Designee believes accurately reflects fair value. Any method used will be approved by the Board and results will be monitored to evaluate accuracy. The Funds’ policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Funds’ NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing.

The Funds have adopted fair valuation accounting standards that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the level of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of April 30, 2026:

Refer to the Funds’ Schedules of Investments for a listing of the securities by type and sector. The Funds held no Level 3 securities at any time during the period ended April 30, 2026.
Security Transactions and Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is determined generally on a specific identification basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
Cash Held at Brokers
Cash deposits with brokers as collateral for options written. As of April 30, 2026, $6,333,598, $4,410,047 and $16,173,296 were held by brokers for Capital Allocation, 130/30 Equity and Fourth Turning, respectively. As of April 30, 2026, there were no amounts due to brokers.
Accounting Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of investment income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal Income Taxes
The Funds have complied and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Funds’ tax returns. The Funds have no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense as incurred.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. For the period ended April 30, 2026, there were no such reclassifications.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually by each Fund. The Funds distribute their net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of a calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Creation Units
The Funds issue and redeem shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in blocks of at least 10,000 shares known as “Creation Units.” Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) will be required to pay to U.S. Bank (the “Custodian”) a fixed transaction fee (“Creation Transaction Fee”) in connection with creation orders that is intended to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each creation order is $300. Authorized Participants wishing to redeem shares will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (“Redemption Transaction Fee”) to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units. The standard Redemption Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Redemption Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each redemption order is $300.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities. Shares of the Funds 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 (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed an agreement with the Funds’ principal underwriter (the “Distributor”) with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”).

Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. The following table discloses the Creation Unit breakdown based on the NAV as of April 30, 2026:

To the extent contemplated by a participant agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to the Distributor, on behalf of the Funds, by the time as set forth in a participant agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking are secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the participant agreement. A participant agreement may permit the Funds to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of the Funds acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and Collateral Payable upon Return of Deposit Securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
Officers and Trustees Indemnification
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that the risk of loss to be remote.

Derivatives
Swap Contracts
The Funds may enter into total return swap contracts, which may be used either as economically similar substitutes for owning the reference asset specified in the swap contract. “Total return” refers to the payment (or receipt) of the total return on the underlying reference asset, which is then exchanged for the receipt (or payment) of an interest rate. Total return swap contracts provide a Fund with the additional flexibility of gaining exposure to a market or sector index in a potentially more economical way.
Most swap contracts entered into by a Fund provide for the calculation and settlement of the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a “net basis” with a single payment. Consequently, a Fund’s current obligations (or rights) under a swap contract will generally 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 party to the agreement (the “net amount”). Other swaps may require initial premium (discount) payments as well as periodic payments (receipts) related to the interest leg of the swap or to the return on the reference entity. A Fund’s current obligations under the types of swap contracts that the Funds expect to enter into (e.g., total return swap contracts) will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to a Fund by the counterparty to the swap contract) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be collateralized by the Fund posting collateral to a tri-party account between the Fund’s custodian, the Fund, and the counterparty. However, typically no payments will be made until the settlement date.
Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, if a swap is entered into on a net basis and if the counterparty to a swap agreement defaults, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any.
Options
The Funds may enter into options contracts. Call options give the owner the right to buy a stock at a specific price (also called the strike price) over a given period of time. Put options give the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a stock at a specific price over a given period of time. A purchaser (holder) of an option pays a non-refundable premium to the seller (writer) of an option to obtain

|

|
the right to buy/sell a specified amount of a security at a fixed price (the exercise price) during a specified period (exercise period). Conversely, the seller (writer) of an option, upon payment by the holder of the premium, has the obligation to sell/buy the security to/from the holder of the option at the exercise price during the exercise period. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale).
The following table presents the Funds’ gross derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty and contract type, net of amounts available for the offset under a master netting agreement and the related collateral received or pledged by each Fund as of April 30, 2026.

NOTE 4 – DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide income tax disclosures, including income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual period beginning after December 15, 2024. Management has determined that there is no material impact of the ASU on the Funds’ financial statements.
Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended April 30, 2026, were as follows:

NOTE 5 — TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
Shares of the Funds are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and trade at market prices rather than at NAV. Shares of the Funds may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV. The Funds will issue and redeem Shares at NAV only in blocks of 10,000 shares (each block of shares is called a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed for cash and/or in-kind for securities. Individual shares may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds.
38
|
HEDGEYE ETFS |

All orders to create Creation Units must be placed with the Funds’ distributor or transfer agent either (1) through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC (“Clearing Process”), a clearing agency that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), by a “Participating Party,” i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the Clearing Process; or (2) outside the Clearing Process by a DTC Participant. In each case, the Participating Party or the DTC Participant must have executed an agreement with the Distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”); such parties are collectively referred to as “APs” or “Authorized Participants.” All Fund shares, whether created through or outside the Clearing Process, will be entered on the records of DTC for the account of a DTC Participant.

NOTE 6 – RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS
An investment in the Funds entails risk. The Funds may not achieve their leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Funds. The Funds are not a complete investment program. In addition, the Funds present risks not traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. An investment in the Funds is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency. A complete description of the principal risks is included in the Funds’ prospectus under the heading “Principal Risks.”

NOTE 7 – SECTOR RISK
If a Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers in industries within a particular sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of that Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss of an investment in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share. From time to time, circumstances may affect a particular sector and the companies within such sector. For instance, economic or market factors, regulation or deregulation, and technological or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector and therefore the value of a Fund’s portfolio will be adversely affected. As of April 30, 2026, 35.67% of the value of the net assets of the Hedgeye Quality Growth ETF was invested in securities within the Information Technology sector. As of April 30, 2026, 25.29% of the value of net assets of the Hedgeye 130/30 Equity ETF was invested in securities within the Consumer Discretionary sector.
NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated all transactions and events subsequent to the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities through the date on which these financial statements were issued. Except as already included in the notes to these financial statements, no additional items require disclosure.

At a meeting held on September 24-25, 2025, (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the ETF Opportunities Trust (the “Trust”) considered the approval of the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Hedgeye Asset Management, LLC (“Hedgeye,” or the “Adviser”) and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Hedgeye and Tidal Investments, LLC (“Tidal” or the “Sub-Adviser”), with respect to the Hedgeye 130/30 Equity Growth ETF (“HELS”) and the Hedgeye Fourth Turning ETF (“HEFT”) (Collectively, HELS and HEFT are referred to as the “New Hedgeye ETFs”; and collectively, the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to as the “Hedgeye Advisory Agreements”.) The Board reflected on its discussions with the representatives from Hedgeye earlier in the Meeting regarding the manner in which the New Hedgeye ETFs are to be managed and the roles and responsibilities of Hedgeye and Tidal under the Hedgeye Advisory Agreements.

The Trustees reviewed a memorandum from Trust Counsel (“Trust Counsel”) that addressed the Trustees’ duties when considering the approval of the Hedgeye Advisory Agreements and the responses of Hedgeye and Tidal to requests for information from Trust Counsel on behalf of the Board. Trust Counsel noted that the response included information on the personnel of and services to be provided by Hedgeye and Tidal, an expense comparison analysis for each New Hedgeye ETF and comparable ETFs, and the Hedgeye Advisory Agreements. Trust Counsel discussed the types of information and factors that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the Hedgeye Advisory Agreements, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Hedgeye and Tidal; (ii) the investment performance of Hedgeye and Tidal; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by Hedgeye and Tidal from the relationship with the New Hedgeye ETFs; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if each New Hedgeye ETF grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of each New Hedgeye ETF’s shareholders; and (v) possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.
In assessing these factors and reaching its decisions, the Board took into consideration information specifically prepared or presented at this Meeting. The Board requested or was provided with information and reports relevant to the approval of the Hedgeye Advisory Agreements, including: (i) information regarding the services and support to be provided by Hedgeye and Tidal to each New Hedgeye ETF and its shareholders; (ii) presentations by management of Hedgeye addressing the investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operations to be utilized in managing the New Hedgeye ETFs; (iii) information pertaining to the compliance structure of Hedgeye and Tidal; (iv) disclosure information contained in the New Hedgeye ETFs’ registration statements and Hedgeye’s and Tidal’s Forms ADV and/or the policies and procedures of each firm; and (v) the memorandum from Trust Counsel that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving the Hedgeye Advisory Agreements, including the material factors set forth above and the types of information included in each factor that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision.
Trust Counsel reminded the Board that it also requested and received various informational materials including, without limitation: (i) documents containing information about Hedgeye and Tidal, including financial information, personnel and the services to be provided by Hedgeye and Tidal to the New Hedgeye ETFs, Hedgeye’s and Tidal’s compliance programs, current legal matters, and other general information; (ii) projected expenses of the New Hedgeye ETFs

and comparative expense information for other ETFs with strategies similar to the New Hedgeye ETFs prepared by an independent third party; (iii) the anticipated effect of size on each New Hedgeye ETF’s performance and expenses; and (iv) benefits anticipated to be realized by Hedgeye and Tidal from their relationship with the New Hedgeye ETFs.
The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Hedgeye Advisory Agreements and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. In deciding whether to approve the Hedgeye Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
The nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Hedgeye and Tidal
In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities of Hedgeye under the Advisory Agreement and Tidal under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Hedgeye and Tidal to the New Hedgeye ETFs, including, without limitation, the processes of Hedgeye and Tidal for assuring compliance with each New Hedgeye ETF’s investment objectives and limitations; Tidal’s processes for trade execution and broker-dealer selection for portfolio transactions; the coordination of services among Hedgeye with Tidal for the New Hedgeye ETFs, as well as Hedgeye’s and Tidal’s coordination with the service providers; and the anticipated efforts of Hedgeye to promote each Hedgeye ETF and grow its assets. The Board considered: Hedgeye’s and Tidal’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of Hedgeye’s and Tidal’s personnel; and information provided regarding Hedgeye’s and Tidal’s compliance programs and policies and procedures. After reviewing the foregoing and further information from Hedgeye and Tidal, the Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services to be provided by Hedgeye and Tidal were satisfactory and adequate for the New Hedgeye ETFs.
The investment performance of Hedgeye and Tidal
The Board noted that the New Hedgeye ETFs had not yet commenced operations. The Trustees considered Hedgeye’s experience in managing other ETFs with similar strategies to that of the New Hedgeye ETFs. The Trustees considered Tidal’s experience as a sub-adviser to other ETFs, and Tidal’s experience in providing sub-advisory services to other ETFs that are similar to the sub-advisory services that Tidal would provide the New Hedgeye ETFs, including trade execution, creation unit and redemption basket management, and capital markets support.

The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by Hedgeye and Tidal from the relationship with the New Hedgeye ETFs
In this regard, the Board considered Hedgeye’s and Tidal’s financial condition and Hedgeye’s level of commitment to the New Hedgeye ETFs. The Board also considered the projected assets and proposed expenses of the New Hedgeye ETFs, including the nature and frequency of advisory payments. The Trustees noted the information on projected profitability provided by Hedgeye and Tidal. The Trustees considered the unitary fee structure proposed by Hedgeye.
The Board compared the proposed unitary fee of HELS to the advisory fees and net expense ratios of ETFs of funds in a custom category selected by Broadridge from its Morningstar Long-Short Equity category (“130/30 Category”), and a peer group selected by Broadridge from its Category, consisting of 5 funds (“130/30 Peer Group”). The Trustees noted that HELS’s proposed 0.70% unitary fee was lower than the median gross and net advisory fees of its 130/30 Category and lower than the median gross and net advisory fees of its 130/30 Peer Group, and that HELS’s projected gross and net expense ratios were lower than the median gross and net expense ratios of its 130/30 Category and 130/30 Peer Group. The Board considered that HELS may incur acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”) if it invests in third-party ETFs, and noted Hedgeye’s representations that such investments would be made as needed to protect and enhance HELS’s return. The Board further noted Hedgeye’s representations that the AFFE and services would not be duplicative of fees paid to and services provided by Hedgeye and Tidal.
The Board compared the proposed unitary fee of HEFT to the advisory fees and net expense ratios of ETFs of funds in a custom category selected by Broadridge from its Morningstar Large Blend category (“Large Blend Category”), and a peer group selected by Broadridge from its Category, consisting of 13 funds (“Large Blend Peer Group”). The Trustees considered the unique nature of HEFT’s 150/50 investment strategy and that the funds in the Large Blend Peer Group had investment strategies that differed from HEFT. The Trustees further considered Hedgeye’s representations that there are very few ETFs with “150/50” investment strategies like the one that will be used by HEFT. The Trustees noted that HEFT’s proposed 0.70% unitary fee was higher than the median gross and net advisory fees of the Large Blend Category, and equal to the median gross advisory fee but higher than the median net advisory fee of its Large Blend Peer Group. The Trustees further noted that the projected gross and net expense ratios of HEFT were lower than the median gross and net expense ratios of its Large Blend Peer Group and higher than the median gross and net expense ratios of the Large Blend Category. The Trustee further considered that

HEFT will incur acquired fund fees and expense (“AFFE”) through its investments in third-party ETFs, but acknowledged Hedgeye’s representations that the AFFE would not be duplicative of the fees paid to and services provided by Hedgeye and Tidal. The Board noted that the actual AFFE was unknown because HEFT had not yet commenced operations.
Finally, the Trustees considered the range of the sub-advisory fees to be paid by Hedgeye to Tidal for the sub-advisory services to the New Hedgeye ETFs, including for trade execution, creation unit and redemption management, and capital market support services. The Trustees acknowledged Tidal’s representations that the fees to be paid to Tidal under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are consistent with the range of fees charged by Tidal to its other clients.
After further consideration, the Board concluded that the projected profitability and fees to be paid to Hedgeye and Tidal were within an acceptable range in light of the services to be rendered by Hedgeye and Tidal.
The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each New Hedgeye ETF grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of each New Hedgeye ETF’s shareholders
The Trustees considered that it was not anticipated that the New Hedgeye ETFs would be of sufficient size to achieve economies of scale in the first few years of operations. The Board noted that the unitary fee structure limits the shareholders’ exposure to underlying operating expense increases. The Board acknowledged Hedgeye’s representations that it will consider breakpoints to the unitary fee schedule in the future.
Possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.
In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the advisory and sub-advisory personnel assigned to the New Hedgeye ETFs; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the New Hedgeye ETFs; and the substance and administration of the Code of Ethics and other relevant policies of Hedgeye and Tidal. The Board noted that Hedgeye and Tidal have represented that they will not receive any soft dollars with regard to the New Hedgeye ETFs’ trading. The Board also considered potential benefits for Hedgeye and Tidal in managing the New Hedgeye ETFs. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board concluded that the standards and practices of Hedgeye and Tidal relating to

the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest, as well as the benefits to be derived by Hedgeye and Tidal from managing the New Hedgeye ETFs were satisfactory.
After additional consideration of the factors delineated in the memorandum provided by Trust Counsel and further discussion and careful review by the Trustees, the Board determined that the compensation payable under the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement was fair, reasonable and within a range of what could have been negotiated at arms-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances, and they approved the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
