This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Thornburg Core Plus Bond ETF for the period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026. You can find additional information about the Fund at https://www.thornburg.com​/download. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1‑800-847‑0200. This report also describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.

How did the Fund perform during the period and what affected its performance?

The Fund outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Total Return Index Value USD (the “Index”) during the 12-month period ended August 31, 2026.

Fixed income markets navigated a sharp shift in expectations issued by the Federal Reserve, from anticipated interest rate cuts in late 2025 to a more hawkish policy stance by mid-2026, as Treasury bond yields rose amid persistent fiscal and inflation concerns. Credit spreads remained tight throughout the period, while a record municipal bond issuance influenced the broader credit market environment.

Active yield curve positioning within U.S. Treasury securities and broad-based security selection within the Fund contributed positively to performance relative to the Index. However, the Fund’s allocation effect and duration positioning detracted from relative performance.

 

How did the Fund perform since inception?

The line graph below reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment. The returns shown in the line graph and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, but do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

This report also describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.

How did the Fund perform during the period and what affected its performance?

The Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Net Total Return USD Index (the “Index”) during the 12-month period ended August 31, 2026.

Despite markets navigating shifts in inflation and monetary policy expectations, global growth remained resilient but uneven. Regional equity security performance exhibited wide dispersion and changing market leadership amid heightened geopolitical risk and currency volatility.

The Fund’s sector allocations in health care and consumer staples contributed to performance relative to the Index, while allocations to financials and information technology sectors were detriments to relative performance. From a stock selection perspective, financials and communication services were the leading contributors to performance relative to the Index, while information technology and consumer discretionary were the primary detractors to relative performance.

By geography, stock selection in the United Kingdom and France contributed most to performance relative to the Index, while stock selection and an underweight allocation to Japan were the leading detractors to relative performance. An overweight allocation to Emerging Asia (an economic classification encompassing countries like China, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines) also contributed positively to relative performance.

You can find additional information about the Fund at https://www.thornburg.com​/download. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1‑800-847‑0200. This report also describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.

How did the Fund perform during the period and what affected its performance?

The Fund outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Total Return Index Value Unhedged (the “Index”) during the 12-month period ended August 31, 2026.

Fixed income markets navigated a sharp shift in expectations issued by the Federal Reserve, from anticipated interest rate cuts in late 2025 to a more hawkish policy stance by mid-2026, as Treasury bond yields rose amid persistent fiscal and inflation concerns. Credit spreads remained tight throughout the period, while a record municipal bond issuance influenced the broader credit market environment.

Security selection within corporate bonds and duration positioning were the primary contributors to performance relative to the Index. However, the Fund’s yield curve positioning detracted from relative performance.

 

How did the Fund perform since inception?

The line graph below reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment. The returns shown in the line graph and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, but do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Annual Shareholder Report

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Thornburg Premium Income Builder ETF for the period from June 22, 2026 to August 31, 2026. You can find additional information about the Fund at https://www.thornburg.com​/download. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1‑800-847‑0200. This report also describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.

How did the Fund perform during the period and what affected its performance?

The Fund outperformed the MSCI World Net Total Return USD Index (the “Index”) during the period from the Fund’s inception on June 22, 2026 to August 31, 2026.

Despite markets navigating shifts in inflation and monetary policy expectations, global growth remained resilient but uneven. Regional equity security performance exhibited wide dispersion and changing market leadership amid heightened geopolitical risk and currency volatility.

The Fund’s sector allocations in energy and financials contributed positively to performance relative to the Index, while allocations to communication services and utilities detracted from relative performance. From a stock selection perspective, communication services and industrials were the leading contributors to performance relative to the Index, while energy and information technology were the primary detractors to relative performance.

By geography, stock selections in the United States and the Netherlands were the strongest contributors to performance relative to the Index while selections in Italy and Canada were the leading detractors to relative performance. Allocation effects in the Netherlands and South Korea also contributed positively to performance relative to the Index, while allocations to the United Kingdom and the United States detracted from relative performance.

Item 2. Code of Ethics

 

Thornburg ETF Trust (the “Trust”) has adopted a code of ethics described in Item 2 of Form N-CSR. A copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR. The Trust has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report, nor has the Trust granted any waivers from any provisions of its code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

 

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

The Trustees of the Trust have determined that four members of the Trust’s audit committee, Lisa Black, Sally Corning, James Weyhrauch, and Patrick Talamantes, are each audit committee financial experts as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Ms. Black, Ms. Corning, Mr. Weyhrauch, and Mr. Talamantes are each independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR. The Trustees’ determinations in this regard were based upon their current understandings of the definition of “audit committee financial expert” and current interpretations of the definition. The Trustees call attention to the lack of clarity in the definition, and that shareholders and prospective investors may wish to evaluate independently this definition and the qualifications of the Trust’s audit committee. The definition of “audit committee financial expert,” together with comments on the definition, is set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov).

Below are the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”), the Trust’s registered independent public accounting firm, billed to the Trust during the Trust’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2026.

Investments carry risks, including possible loss of principal. Investments in equity securities are subject to additional risks, such as greater market fluctuations. Additional risks may be associated with investments outside the United States, especially in emerging markets, including currency fluctuations, illiquidity, volatility, and political and economic risks. Investments in small- and mid-capitalization companies may increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Portfolios investing in bonds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds. The value of bonds will fluctuate relative to changes in interest rates, decreasing when interest rates rise. This effect is more pronounced for longer-term bonds. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses. Investments in lower rated and unrated bonds may be more sensitive to default, downgrades, and market volatility; these investments may also be less liquid than higher rated bonds. A short position will lose value as the security’s price increases. Theoretically, the loss on a short sale can be unlimited. Investments in derivatives are subject to the risks associated with the securities or other assets underlying the pool of securities, including illiquidity and difficulty in valuation. Please see the Funds’ prospectus for a discussion of the risks associated with an investment in the Funds. Investments in the Funds are not FDIC insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each of the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. Each Fund prepares its financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including investment company accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

 

Annual Financial Statements | 47 

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

August 31, 2026

 

Segment Reporting: Each Fund has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is the President of each Fund. 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 Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

Allocation of Income, Gains, Losses and Expenses: Net investment income and any realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each outstanding share at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity). Expenses common to each Fund and each series of Thornburg Investment Trust are allocated daily among the Funds and series of Thornburg Investment Trust based upon their relative net asset values or other appropriate allocation methods.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Ordinary income dividends of a Fund, if any, are generally declared and paid at least monthly for Core Plus Bond ETF and Multi Sector Bond ETF, quarterly for Premium Income Builder ETF, and at least annually for International Equity ETF and International Growth ETF. Capital gains distributions, if any, usually will be declared and paid in December for the prior twelve-month period ending October 31.

 

Foreign Currency Translation: Portfolio investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. When the Funds purchase or sell foreign investments, they will customarily enter into a foreign exchange contract to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of such transactions. The values of such spot contracts are included in receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

The Funds do not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on investments held. Such changes are included in Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the Statement of Operations.

 

Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise due to purchases and sales of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment 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. These amounts are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions in the Statement of Operations.

 

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translations arises from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

 

Guarantees and Indemnifications: Under the Trust’s organizational documents (and under separate agreements with the independent Trustees), its officers and Trustees are provided with an indemnification, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Trust may also enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

Investment Income: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain income from foreign investments is recognized as soon as information is available to the Funds. Interest income is accrued as earned. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to first call dates or maturity dates using the effective yield method of the respective investments. These amounts are included in Investment Income in the Statement of Operations.

 

Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are recorded on an identified cost basis.

 

Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may invest excess cash in repurchase agreements whereby the Funds purchase investments, which serve as collateral, with an agreement to resell such collateral to the seller at an agreed upon price at the maturity date of the repurchase agreement. Investments pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held in custody until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions in the agreements require that the market value of the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase value in the event of default. In the event of default, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. During the year ended August 31, 2026, the Funds did not enter into repurchase agreements.

Security Valuation: All investments in securities held by the Funds are valued as described in Note 3.

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 (decreases) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions: The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. To the extent the Funds engage in such transactions, they will do so for the purpose of acquiring portfolio investments consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and not for the purpose of investment leverage or to speculate on interest rate or market changes. At the time the Funds make a commitment to purchase an investment on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Funds will record the transaction and reflect the value in determining its net asset value. Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, a transaction involving a when-issued security will not be deemed to involve a senior security as long as the Funds intend to settle the transaction physically and the transaction settles within 35 days. Investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis do not earn interest until the settlement date. The values of these securities held at August 31, 2026, if any, are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.

 

NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION

 

Valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investment securities is performed by Thornburg Investment Management, Inc., the Trust’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), which has been designated by the Trustees of the Trust (the “Trustees”) as the Funds’ “valuation designee” as that term is defined in Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor performs this valuation function under the supervision of the Trustees and in accordance with policies and procedures that have been adopted by the Advisor and approved by the Trustees (the “Valuation Policy and Procedures”).

 

In its capacity as the Funds’ valuation designee, the Advisor makes good faith determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and otherwise complies with and administers the Valuation Policy and Procedures. The Advisor performs those functions in significant measure through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”), though the Advisor may also obtain the assistance of others, including professional pricing service providers selected and approved by the Committee. In accordance with the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee: assesses and manages the material risks associated with determining the fair value of those Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available; selects and applies methodologies for determining and calculating such fair values; periodically reviews and tests the appropriateness and accuracy of those methodologies; monitors for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value; and approves, monitors, and evaluates pricing services engaged to provide evaluated prices for the Funds’ investments. The Committee provides reports on its activities to the Trustees’ Audit Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the Committee’s and the Advisor’s work in discharging the functions under the Valuation Policy and Procedures.

 

In those instances when the Committee assists in calculating a fair value for a portfolio investment, the Committee seeks to determine the price that the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon a sale of the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants on the valuation date. The Committee customarily utilizes quotations from securities broker-dealers in calculating valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods selected by the Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a fair value for an investment may differ from the price that would be realized by the Funds upon a sale of the investment, and the difference could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. The Committee’s calculation of a fair value for an investment may also differ from the prices obtained by other persons (including other mutual funds) for the investment.

 

Valuation of Securities: Securities and other portfolio investments which are listed or traded on a United States securities exchange are generally valued at the last reported sale price on the valuation date or, if there has been no sale of the investment on that date, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices for the investment on that date. Portfolio investments reported by NASDAQ are valued at the official closing price on the valuation date. If an investment is traded on more than one exchange, the investment is considered traded on the exchange that is normally the primary market for that investment. For securities and other portfolio investments which are primarily listed or traded on an exchange outside the United States, the time for determining the investment’s value in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph will be the close of that investment’s primary exchange preceding the Fund’s valuation time.

In any case when a market quotation is not readily available for a portfolio investment ordinarily valued by market quotation, the Committee calculates a fair value for the investment using methodologies selected and approved by the Committee as described in the Valuation Policy and Procedures, subject to changes or additions by the Committee. For this purpose, a market quotation is considered to be readily available if it is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Funds can access at the measurement date. Pursuant to the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee shall monitor for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair valuation methodologies, including circumstances in which a market quotation for an investment is no longer reliable or is otherwise not readily available. For that purpose, a market quotation is not readily available when the primary market or exchange for the applicable investment is not open for the entire scheduled day of trading. A market quotation may also not be readily available if: (a) developments occurring after the most recent close of the applicable investment’s primary exchange, but prior to the close of business on any business day; or (b) an unusual event or significant period of time occurring since the availability of the market quotation, create a serious question concerning the reliability of that market quotation. Additionally, a market quotation will be considered unreliable if it would require adjustment under GAAP, or where GAAP would require consideration of additional inputs in determining the value of the investment.

 

Investments in U.S. exchange-traded funds are valued at the exchange-traded price if they are listed.

 

Debt obligations held by the Funds which are not listed or traded on exchanges or for which no reported market exists are ordinarily valued at the valuation obtained from a pricing service provider approved by the Committee.

 

Forward currency contracts are valued by a third-party pricing service provider.

 

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they trade or, if a settlement price is unavailable, at the last sale price on the exchange.

 

Credit default swap agreements cleared on a clearinghouse or on an exchange which the swap is traded may be valued using the closing price provided by the clearinghouse or exchange on which the swap is traded.

 

Over-the-counter options are valued by a third-party pricing service provider.

 

In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee may calculate a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods selected and approved by the Committee. Additionally, in cases when the Committee believes that a valuation obtained from a pricing service provider is stale, does not reflect material factors affecting the valuation of the investment, is significantly different than the value the Funds are likely to obtain if they sought a bid for the investment, or is otherwise unreliable, the Committee may calculate a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method selected and approved by the Committee.

 

If the market quotation for an investment is expressed in a foreign currency, that market quotation will be converted to U.S. dollars using a foreign exchange quotation from a third-party service at the time of valuation. Foreign investments held by the Funds may be traded on days and at times when the Funds are not open for business. Consequently, the value of the Funds’ investments may be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot purchase or sell Fund shares.

 

Valuation Hierarchy: The Funds categorize their investments based upon the inputs used in valuing those investments, according to a three-level hierarchy established in guidance from the FASB. Categorization of investments using this hierarchy is intended by the FASB to maximize the use of observable inputs in valuing investments and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in valuing an investment based on available market information. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect assumptions about the information market participants would use in valuing an investment. An investment’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is deemed significant to the valuation. The methodologies and inputs used to value investments are not necessarily indications of the risk or liquidity associated with those investments.

 

Various inputs are used in calculating valuations for the Funds’ investments. These inputs are generally summarized according to the three-level hierarchy below:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2: Other direct or indirect significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments in active markets and other observable inputs, such as interest rates, prepayment rates, credit ratings, etc.).

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Committee’s own assumptions in calculating the fair values of investments).

 

Valuations for debt obligations held by the Funds are typically calculated by pricing service providers approved by the Committee and are generally characterized as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods under procedures approved by the Committee. Additionally, in cases when management believes that a valuation obtained from a pricing service provider is stale, does not reflect material factors affecting the valuation of the investment, is significantly different than the value the Funds are likely to obtain if they sought a bid for the investment, or is otherwise unreliable, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method approved by the Committee.

 

In a limited number of cases the Committee calculates a fair value for investments using broker quotations or other methods approved by the Committee. When the Committee uses a single broker quotation to calculate a fair value for an investment without other significant observable inputs, or if a fair value is calculated using other significant inputs that are considered unobservable, the investment is characterized as Level 3 within the hierarchy. Other significant unobservable inputs used to calculate a fair value in these instances might include an income-based valuation approach which considers discounted anticipated future cash flows from the investment and application of discounts due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment.

 

Valuations based upon the use of inputs from Levels 1, 2 or 3 may not represent the actual price received upon the disposition of an investment, and a Fund may receive a price that is lower than the valuation based upon these inputs when it sells the investment.

 

The following table displays a summary of the fair value hierarchy measurements of the Funds’ investments as of August 31, 2026:

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

 

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, the Advisor is paid a management fee for advisory services and for administrative and other services. Each Fund pays for these services under a bundled fee structure (the “Unified Management Fee”). Each Fund pays the Advisor a Unified Management Fee based on the average daily net assets of that Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

  MANAGEMENT FEE
Core Plus Bond ETF 0.45%
Multi Sector Bond ETF 0.55
International Equity ETF 0.65
International Growth ETF 0.70
Premium Income Builder ETF 0.79

 

Total management fees incurred by the Funds for the year ended August 31, 2026 are set forth in the Statement of Operations.

As of August 31, 2026, the percentage of direct investments in the Funds held by the Trustees, officers of the Trust, and the Advisor is approximately as follows.

 

  PERCENTAGE OF
  DIRECT INVESTMENTS
Core Plus Bond ETF 1.36%
Multi Sector Bond ETF 0.07
International Equity ETF 0.09
International Growth ETF 0.01

NOTE 5 – TAXES

 

Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders substantially all investment company taxable income including net realized gains on investments (if any), and tax exempt income of the Funds. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.

 

The Funds file income tax returns in United States federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ tax return filings generally remains open for the three years following a return’s filing date. The Funds have analyzed each uncertain tax position believed to be material in the preparation of the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2026, including open tax years, to assess whether it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The Funds have not identified any such position for which an asset or liability must be reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Temporary differences between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on cost of investments are primarily attributed to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, premium amortization accruals, mark-to-market of forward currency contracts, mark-to-market of futures contracts, mark-to-market of passive foreign investment companies, distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), perpetual bond adjustments and accrued income on swaps.

 

At August 31, 2026, the Funds had cumulative tax basis capital losses from prior fiscal years as shown on the following table, which may be carried forward to offset future capital gains. To the extent such carryforwards are used, capital gain distributions may be reduced to the extent provided by regulations. Such capital loss carryforwards do not expire.

 

   CUMULATIVE CAPITAL LOSSES 
    SHORT-TERM    LONG-TERM 
Core Plus Bond ETF  $221,192   $14,195 
Multi Sector Bond ETF   923,708    17,945 
International Equity ETF   2,866,934    610,071 
International Growth ETF   411,342    130,818 
Premium Income Builder ETF   7,771    — 

 

At August 31, 2026, the effect of permanent “book/tax” reclassifications resulted in increases and decreases to components of the Funds’ net assets as follows:

 

   DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS   NET CAPITAL PAID 
Core Plus Bond ETF  $(25,798)  $25,798 
Multi Sector Bond ETF   (131,465)   131,465 
International Equity ETF   (2,018,251)   2,018,251 
International Growth ETF   (83,301)   83,301 

 

These differences are primarily due to the tax treatment of non-recognition of in-kind redemptions.

 

Foreign Withholding Taxes Paid: The Funds are subject to foreign tax withholding imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Funds may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Taxes Disclosures, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, when material to the Funds’ financial statements.

 

The value of the foreign withholding taxes paid by any Fund at the end of the period in relation to the Fund’s net assets was not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of income taxes paid for the year ended August 31, 2026 is not presented. Management expects the significance of the foreign withholding taxes paid in relation to net assets to change in future annual periods.

 

Foreign Withholding Tax Reclaims: The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld, in view of various considerations, including recent decisions rendered by the courts in those and other jurisdictions. The Funds would expect to record a receivable for such a tax reclaim based on a variety of factors, including assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, the jurisdiction’s administrative practices and payment history, and industry convention.

 

Deferred Foreign Capital Gain Taxes: The Funds are subject to a tax imposed on net realized gains of securities of certain foreign countries. The Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized gains on these investments as reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Such changes are included in Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the Statement of Operations, if any.

 

At August 31, 2026, the Funds had undistributed tax basis ordinary investment income and undistributed tax basis capital gains as follows:

NOTE 6 – CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS

 

The Funds are exchange-traded funds or “ETFs.” Shares of each Fund may be acquired or redeemed directly from the Fund only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units” or multiples thereof. A Creation Unit for each of Core Plus Bond ETF, Multi Sector Bond ETF, and Premium Income Builder ETF consists of 50,000 shares. A Creation Unit for International Equity ETF consists of 20,000 shares. As of January 29, 2026, a Creation Unit for International Growth ETF consists of 20,000 shares. The Trust may increase or decrease the number of a Fund’s shares that constitute a Creation Unit, including on a per transaction basis if doing so is deemed to be in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with a Fund. An Authorized Participant is either a “participating party” (i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation) or a Depository Trust Company participant, in either case, who has executed an agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc., the Trust’s principal underwriter, and accepted by State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s transfer agent, with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units. Once created, shares of each Fund generally trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit.

 

Most investors will buy and sell shares of each Fund in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers. Shares of each Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange during the trading day. Shares of each Fund trade on an exchange at prices that may differ to varying degrees from the daily NAV of the shares. Each Fund determines its NAV once daily at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Each Fund determines its NAV by dividing the total Fund assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of outstanding shares. The price at which an Authorized Participant purchases shares of a Fund is based on the next calculation of the NAV after the Fund receives a purchase request in good order.

 

Authorized Participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Funds may use a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge or adjust the risks affecting their investment portfolio or to enhance investment returns. Provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 815-10-50 (“ASC 815”) require certain disclosures. The disclosures are intended to provide users of financial statements with an understanding of the use of derivative instruments by the Funds and how these derivatives affect the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Funds. During the year ended August 31, 2026, the Funds’ principal exposure to derivative financial instruments of the type addressed by ASC 815 were investments in forward currency contracts, futures contracts, credit default swap agreements, and options.

 

Forward Currency Contracts: During the year ended August 31, 2026, Multi Sector Bond ETF entered into forward currency contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives, with the intent of reducing the risk to the value of the Fund’s foreign investments from adverse changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Each of the forward currency contracts entered into by the Funds is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at a specified rate of exchange at an agreed upon future date. Forward currency contracts involve risks to the Funds, including the risk that a contract’s counterparty will not meet its obligations to the Funds, the risk that a change in a contract’s value may not correlate perfectly with the currency the contract was intended to track, and the risk that the Advisor is unable to correctly implement its strategy in using a contract. In any such instance, the Funds may not achieve the intended benefit of entering into a contract and may experience a loss.

 

The monthly average value of open forward currency sell contracts for the year ended August 31, 2026 for Multi Sector Bond ETF was $226,943.

 

These contracts are accounted for by the Funds under ASC 815. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on outstanding contracts are reported in each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the reporting date and the forward exchange rates at each contract’s inception date. Net realized gain (loss) on contracts closed during the period, and changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on outstanding contracts are recognized in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.

 

These outstanding forward currency contracts in the table located in the Schedule of Investments which were entered into with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) were entered into pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements. In the event of a default or termination under the ISDA Master Agreement with SSB, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all outstanding forward currency contracts between the parties and to net any payment amounts under those contracts, resulting in a single net amount payable by one party to the other.

 

Because the ISDA Master Agreement with SSB does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities unless there has been an event of default or termination event under that agreement, the Fund does not net its outstanding forward currency contracts for purposes of the disclosure in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Instead, the Fund recognizes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those forward currency contracts on a gross basis in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Futures Contracts: During the year ended August 31, 2026, Core Plus Bond ETF entered into futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Futures contracts tend to increase or decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge collateral to the broker using cash or securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange and the broker. Cash deposits for initial margin are shown as Deposits at broker on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. These daily cash settlements are referred to as variation margin and are recognized on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable on variation margin on futures contracts. Futures contracts may involve a risk of loss in excess of the variation margin shown on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed or expires, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Net realized gains or losses and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation from futures contracts are recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The maximum potential loss on a long futures contract is generally the U.S. dollar value of the notional amount at the time the contract is opened.

 

The monthly average values of futures contracts for the year ended August 31, 2026 for Core Plus Bond ETF was $239,067.

 

Credit Default Swap Agreements: During the year ended August 31, 2026, Multi Sector Bond ETF entered into credit default swap agreements in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Swap agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be cleared through a third party, known as a central clearing party or derivatives clearing organization (“centrally cleared swaps”).

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

August 31, 2026

 

Credit default swaps are agreements between counterparties to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined credit event. Under the terms of a credit default swap, the buyer of protection receives credit protection in exchange for making periodic payments to the seller of protection based on a given percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return for these payments, the seller acts like a guarantor of the creditworthiness of the debt security.

 

Credit events may include bankruptcy, failure to pay principal, maturity extension, rating downgrade, or write-down. As a seller, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Fund will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the debt security or pay a net settlement amount of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the debt security. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Fund will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the debt security or receive a net settlement.

 

The monthly average notional value of centrally cleared credit default swap agreements for the year ended August 31, 2026 for Multi Sector Bond ETF was $390,496.

 

Option Contracts: During the year ended August 31, 2026, Premium Income Builder ETF engaged in over-the-counter (“OTC”) option trades. Each Fund may engage in option transactions and in doing so achieves similar objectives to what it would achieve through the sale or purchase of individual securities. A call option, upon payment of a premium, gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the seller of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security or other instrument at the exercise price.

 

A put option gives the purchaser of the option, upon payment of a premium, the right to sell, and the seller the obligation to buy, the underlying security, or other instrument at the exercise price. Options on securities indices and other financial indices are settled in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying instrument. To seek to offset some of the risk of a potential decline in value of certain long positions, each Fund may also purchase put options on individual securities, broad-based securities indexes or certain ETFs. Each Fund may also seek to generate income from option premiums by writing (selling) options on a portion of the equity securities (including securities that are convertible into equity securities) in the Fund’s portfolio, on broad-based securities indexes, or certain ETFs.

 

When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, a Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid. Gain or loss on written options and purchased options is presented separately on the Statements of Operations as net realized gain or loss on written options and net realized gain or loss on purchased options, respectively.

 

Options written by a Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk since options written obligate a Fund and not the counterparty to perform. Exchange-traded purchased options have relatively less counterparty credit risk to a Fund since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default.

 

The monthly average notional value of options written contracts for the year ended August 31, 2026, for Premium Income Builder ETF was $77,348.

 

Because exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives are not subject to master netting or similar arrangements, the Funds do not net their respective outstanding derivative contracts for the purpose of disclosure in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Instead, the Funds recognize the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those derivative contracts on a gross basis in each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The fair value of the Funds’ derivative contracts recognized in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities at August 31, 2026 are disclosed in the following table:

 

      PRINCIPAL  COUNTER   ASSET   LIABILITY   NET 
   TYPE OF DERIVATIVE(a)  RISK  PARTY(b)   DERIVATIVES   DERIVATIVES   AMOUNT 
Core Plus Bond ETF  Futures contracts(c)  Derivatives risk  GST   $—   $(2,086)  $(2,086)

(a)Generally, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities location for forward currency contracts is Assets - Unrealized appreciation on forward currency contracts for asset derivatives and Liabilities - Unrealized depreciation on forward currency contracts for liabilities derivatives. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities location for futures contracts is Assets - Receivable for variation margin on futures contracts for asset derivatives and Liabilities - Payable for variation margin on futures contracts for liabilities derivatives. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities location for centrally cleared credit default swap agreements is Assets - Receivable for variation margin on centrally cleared credit default swap agreements for asset derivatives and Liabilities - Payable for variation margin on centrally cleared credit default swap agreements for liabilities derivatives. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities location for written options is Liabilities - written options at value for liabilities derivatives.

(b)Counterparties include State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) and Goldman Sachs International (“GST”).

(c)The Statement of Assets and Liabilities location for cash collateral pledged for Futures contracts and Centrally cleared credit default swap agreements is Assets - Deposits at Broker.

Because the Fund did not receive or post cash collateral in connection with its forward currency contracts during the period, the net amount of the Fund’s assets and liabilities which is attributable to the contracts at August 31, 2026 can be determined by offsetting the dollar amounts shown in the asset and liability columns in the preceding table, the result of which is reflected in the “Net Amount” column. The Fund’s forward currency contracts are valued each day, and the net amount of the Fund’s assets and liabilities which are attributable to the contracts are expected to vary over time.

 

The net realized gain (loss) from forward currency contracts, futures contracts, centrally cleared credit default swap agreements, and options and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on outstanding forward currency contracts, futures contracts, centrally cleared credit default swap agreements, and options recognized in each Fund’s Statement of Operations for the year ended August 31, 2026 are disclosed in the following table:

STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

 

Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) provides investment management services to Thornburg Premium Income Builder ETF (the “ETF”), a series of the Thornburg ETF Trust (the “Trust”), pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”).

 

In anticipation of their consideration of the Agreement, the Trustees met on March 3-4, 2026 to discuss the ETF with representatives of the Advisor and with the Trust’s legal counsel and Independent Trustee counsel, including a discussion of written materials relating to the ETF that had been provided to the Trustees in advance of that meeting. The Independent Trustees were advised by counsel to the Independent Trustees.

 

The Trustees met again on May 12-13, 2026 for a further discussion of the ETF with representatives of the Advisor and with the Trust’s legal counsel and Independent Trustee counsel, again including a discussion of written materials relating to the ETF that had been provided to the Trustees in advance of that meeting. In connection with that meeting, the Trustees received materials from an independent analyst firm respecting the proposed fees and expenses of the ETF and considered comparative fee and expense data provided by that analyst firm. The meeting had been called for the purpose of considering, among other topics, the approval of the Agreement in respect of the ETF. At that meeting, the Trustees, after conferring further with representatives of the Advisor and with the Trust’s legal counsel and Independent Trustee counsel, voted unanimously to approve the Agreement for the ETF.

 

The information below summarizes certain factors considered by the Trustees in connection with the determination to approve the Agreement for the ETF. In determining to approve the Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, and this summary does not describe all of the matters considered by the Trustees in making their determination.

 

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. Information considered by the Trustees as relevant to the nature, extent, and quality of the services that the Advisor would provide under the Agreement for the ETF included: the background and experience of the portfolio managers who would be primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the ETF and the other members of the Advisor’s investment team who would support those portfolio managers; presentations and explanations made by the Advisor’s personnel about the investment objective, investment strategies, and investment limitations of the ETF; information about how the ETF would fit into the Trust’s lineup of investment products; market demand for the type of investment strategies to be pursued by the ETF; the resources that the Advisor would devote to the services it provides to the ETF; the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor; the Advisor’s success in managing other portfolios with investment strategies similar to the ETF’s strategies; and the Advisor’s responsiveness to the Trustees’ questions. Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the investment advisory services to be provided to the ETF by the Advisor.

 

Investment Performance. While the ETF did not have any investment performance at the time the Trustees approved the Agreement, the Trustees did consider the Advisor’s success in achieving positive investment performance in other portfolios with investment strategies similar to the ETF’s strategies. The Trustees also considered the ETF’s proposed investment strategies and processes and concluded that the prospects for the ETF’s competitive future performance were acceptable.

 

Comparisons of Fee and Expense Levels. The Trustees considered information comparing the ETF’s contractual advisory fee rate and total expense ratio to the advisory fee rates and total expense ratios of a group of selected peers. The Trustees observed that the ETF’s advisory fee rates and expense ratios were generally in line with the peer funds.

Other Information, Continued

Costs and Profitability of Advisor. Information about the profitability of the ETF was not available when the Trustees considered the approval of the Agreement because the ETF was not yet operational.

 

Potential Economies of Scale. In reviewing the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by the ETF as it grows and whether fee levels reflect potential economies of scale, the Trustees considered the Advisor’s willingness in the past to expend from its own profits and resources to maintain staffing levels and expand staff competencies, pay competitive levels of compensation, and add to its information management and other electronic systems so as to maintain or improve service levels. The information provided demonstrated to the Trustees that shareholders may be expected to benefit from any economies of scale.

 

Potential Ancillary Benefits. In reviewing potential benefits to the Advisor because of its relationship to the ETF, the Trustees noted the benefits to both the Trust and the Advisor of the Advisor’s expansion of its staffing, compliance and systems capabilities, and other resources to serve a broader variety of investment management clients. No unusual or unfair potential benefits to the Advisor from its relationship to the ETF were identified by the Trustees.

 

Summary of Conclusions. After considering the factors identified above, and in light of the other information received by the Trustees respecting the ETF, the Trustees concluded that the level of the advisory fee to be charged to the ETF by the Advisor is fair and reasonable in relation to the services to be provided by the Advisor, the clear disclosure of fees and expenses in the ETF’s prospectus, comparisons of fees and expenses charged to the ETF to fees and expenses charged to other exchange-traded funds, and the other factors and relevant circumstances considered. The Trustees accordingly determined to approve the Agreement with the Advisor in respect of the ETF.
