Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present you with the annual report for IndexIQ ETF Trust for the 12 months ended April 30, 2016 (the “Reporting Period”).
It was a challenging Reporting Period for investors, as high levels of volatility and disparity were evident in the returns of various global asset classes. Indeed, the Reporting Period was marked by numerous global cross currents. The Chinese economic growth rate slowed, and this put pressure on China’s equity prices as well as on global commodity prices, specifically, oil and industrial metals. Greece was on the brink of defaulting on its debt obligations, but a last minute agreement allowed the nation to avert a default. The U.S. dollar gained strength through the first three quarters of the Reporting Period but then began to lose ground to other major currencies as it became more clear that the U.S. Federal Reserve would be unable to implement its intended schedule to increase interest rates. Overall, this was a turbulent Reporting Period, wherein U.S. large-cap equities were barely able to stay above water, and investment-grade bonds had solid results, but many other asset classes did not.
On the following pages, you will find a detailed discussion of the key factors influencing performance of each of the ETFs in the IndexIQ ETF Trust during the Reporting Period. You will also find a schedule of investments and financial statements for each.
Despite the macro challenges of the Reporting Period, we believe that the solutions provided by the ETFs of the IndexIQ ETF Trust give investors the opportunity to enhance portfolio construction in a liquid and transparent manner relative to typical alternative asset strategies, and we look forward to adding more new and innovative ETF solutions in the future.
We thank you for choosing the IndexIQ ETFs, and we honor the responsibility you have placed on us. For more information on our broad array of alternative investment solutions, please visit us at www.indexiq.com or call us at 888-934-0777.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) |
IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF
How did IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF (the “Fund”) perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2016?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2016, IQ the Fund returned –2.80% at NAV (net asset value) and –2.67% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Index,2 returned –1.50% for the same time period. The HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index2 and S&P 500® Index2 returned –5.52% and 0.55%, respectively, for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The Fund’s position in investment grade bonds, particularly investment grade corporate bonds, aggregate bonds and short-term Treasury bonds, via underlying ETFs, was the primary positive contributor to returns. The Fund’s short exposure to Brazil, via an underlying ETF, was also beneficial, as oil prices plummeted. However, losses on the Fund’s long exposure to China, via an underlying ETF, largely offset those gains. Similarly, via underlying ETFs, gains from short positions in Asia ex Japan equities were negated by losses from long positions in Emerging Small Cap equities. The Fund’s results were boosted by positions in U.S. large-capitalization value stock ETFs but gave back most of that from its positions in U.S. large-cap growth stock ETFs and U.S. small-capitalization value stock ETFs.
The Fund’s position in convertible bond ETFs detracted from its performance during the reporting period as did the Fund’s holding in a currency carry strategy ETF. Implemented via underlying ETFs, positions in emerging market equities in general were a net detractor from performance. The Fund’s position in a volatility-oriented ETP also dampened relative results.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund used derivatives to obtain exposure to long and short positions of the Underlying Index. The long exposures included certain Underlying Index positions, such as investment grade corporate, sovereign, and local authority bonds; short term Treasury securities; equity volatility; and domestic small capitalization stocks. The short exposures included all of the Underlying Index positions, including principally iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF, iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF, and the Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF.
How were the Fund’s assets allocated during the reporting period and why?
The Fund’s allocations are driven by quantitative models that determine the weights across the various hedge fund strategies represented in the Fund as well as the weights of the assets within these strategies. Given the rules-based nature of the process, there is no subjectivity involved in the allocation decision process.
During the reporting period, the Fund had positive, or long, allocations to the following hedge fund strategies: Long/Short Equity, Equity Market Neutral, Event Driven and Fixed Income Arbitrage. The Fund had negative, or short, allocations to the following hedge fund strategies: Emerging Markets and Global Macro. These allocations are driven by a proprietary model that overweights strategies with high price momentum, high correlation to the broad hedge fund universe and low total variance. The Fund underweights strategies with the opposite characteristics.
At the asset class level, the Fund was net long in bonds, particularly convertible bonds, aggregate bonds, short-term bonds and floating rate bank loans. The Fund was also net long in equities, particularly U.S. value-oriented equities, as well as real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund was net short volatility and currencies, especially the U.S. dollar, during the reporting period.
How did the Fund’s allocations change over the course of the reporting period?
Based on our proprietary quantitative models and via shifts in its underlying ETF positions, the Fund’s total bond exposure was relatively unchanged, however the allocation within fixed income changed, as the Fund gradually decreased its exposure to aggregate bonds and convertible bonds and increased its exposure to investment grade corporate bonds and Treasury inflation-protect securities (TIPS).
Via underlying ETFs, the Fund’s currency position shifted from long the euro and yen to small short exposures. The Fund’s equity allocation, implemented via underlying ETFs, increased in broad international, Japan and U.S. large-capitalization value equities. The Fund’s net real estate position went from a small positive to a small negative, via underlying ETFs.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued) |
During the reporting period, which underlying ETFs had the highest total returns and which underlying ETFs had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing underlying ETFs in the Fund were CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (FXY) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV). During the reporting period, iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI) and iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI) recorded the lowest total returns.
Which underlying ETFs were the strongest positive contributors to the Fund’s performance and which underlying ETFs were particularly weak?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the underlying ETFs that made the greatest positive contributions to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period were iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) and iShares Core U.C. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG). The weakest contributors were SPDR Barclays Convertible Securities ETF (CWB) and SPDR S&P Emerging Markets Small Cap ETF (EWX).

IQ Hedge Macro Tracker ETF
How did IQ Hedge Macro Tracker ETF (the “Fund”) perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2016?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund returned –2.97% at NAV (net asset value) and –2.60% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Hedge Macro Index,2 returned –2.35% for the same time period. The HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index and the MSCI® World Index2 returned –5.52% and –3.61%, respectively, for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The Fund’s positions in investment grade bond ETFs, particularly those focused on investment grade corporate bonds and short-term Treasury bonds, were the primary positive contributors to returns. The Fund’s short exposure to Brazil and Russia, via underlying ETFs, were also beneficial, as oil prices plummeted. However, the losses on the Fund’s long exposure to China largely offset those gains.
The Fund benefited from its short exposure to commodities during the reporting period. However, its short position in the Japanese yen, via an underlying ETF, detracted from Fund performance. Also implemented via underlying ETFs, the Fund’s long positions in U.S. and emerging market small-capitalization equities detracted from performance as did exposure to an emerging market bond ETF.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund used derivatives to obtain exposure to long and short positions of the Underlying Index. The long exposures included certain Underlying Index positions, such as investment grade corporate, sovereign, and local authority bonds; short term Treasury securities; equity volatility; and domestic small capitalization stocks. The short exposures included all of the Underlying Index positions, including principally SPDR Dow Jones International Real Estate ETF, CurrencyShares Euro Trust, and the CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust.
How were the Fund’s assets allocated during the reporting period and why?
The Fund’s allocations are driven by quantitative models that determine the weights across the various hedge fund strategies represented in the Fund, as well as the weights of the assets within these strategies. Given the rules-based nature of the process, there is no subjectivity involved in the allocation decision process.
During the reporting period, the Fund had an overweight relative to the Underlying Index in the Emerging Markets hedge fund strategy and a proportionate underweight in the Global Macro hedge fund strategy. These allocations are driven by a proprietary quantitative model that overweights strategies with high price momentum, high correlation to the broad hedge fund universe and low total variance. The Fund underweights strategies with the opposite characteristics.
At the asset class level, the Fund was net long in bonds, particularly short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, investment grade U.S. corporate bonds and international bonds. The Fund was also net long in equities, particularly small-capitalization equities and emerging market equities. Amongst currencies, the Fund was long the euro and short the yen for a net short position in the U.S. dollar.
How did the Fund’s allocations change over the course of the reporting period?
Based on our proprietary quantitative models, the Fund’s total bond exposure was increased, and there was a change in the composition of underlying ETFs as well. Via underlying ETFs, the Fund reduced its exposure to international bonds and corporate bonds and increased its holdings in short-term U.S. Treasuries. The Fund’s currency position shifted from long the euro to a small short exposure. The Fund’s equity allocation, implemented via underlying ETFs, increased in emerging market small-capitalization equities, Japan equities and U.S. large-cap value equities. The Fund’s net real estate position drifted from a small negative to a larger negative.

IQ Hedge Market Neutral Tracker ETF
How did IQ Hedge Market Neutral Tracker ETF (the “Fund”) perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2016?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund returned –0.15% at NAV (net asset value) and –0.27% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Hedge Market Neutral Index,2 returned 1.17% for the same time period. The HFRI Equity Market Neutral Index2 and the Barclays Capital U.S. Short Term Treasury Bond Index2 returned 2.11% and 0.29%, respectively, for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The Fund’s position in investment grade bonds, particularly investment grade corporate bonds, aggregate bonds and short-term Treasury bonds, via underlying ETFs, were the primary positive contributors to returns. The Fund’s short exposure to international bonds was also beneficial, as turbulence overseas led to bond price drops.
Gains from the Fund’s currency positions via underlying ETFs — long the euro and short the U.S. Dollar — were offset by its long exposure to a currency carry strategy. Similarly, gains from short positions in Asia ex Japan equity ETFs were negated by losses from long positions in international, European and emerging market equity ETFs. The Fund benefited from positions in U.S. large-capitalization value equity ETFs, but this was virtually offset by positions in U.S. small-cap value equity ETFs.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund used derivatives to obtain exposure to long and short positions of the Underlying Index. The long exposures included certain Underlying Index positions, such as investment grade corporate, sovereign, and local authority bonds; short term Treasury securities; equity volatility; and domestic small capitalization stocks. The short exposures included all of the Underlying Index positions, including principally Vanguard FTSE Pacific ETF, iShares MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan ETF, and the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF.
How were the Fund’s assets allocated during the reporting period and why?
The Fund’s allocations are driven by quantitative models that determine the weights across the various hedge fund strategies represented in the Fund as well as the weights of the assets within these strategies. Given the rules-based nature of the process, there is no subjectivity involved in the allocation decision process.
During the reporting period, the Fund had an overweight relative to the Underlying Index in the Equity Market Neutral hedge fund strategy and a proportionate underweight in the Fixed Income Arbitrage hedge fund strategy. These allocations are driven by a proprietary quantitative model that overweights strategies with high price momentum, high correlation to the broad hedge fund universe and low total variance. The Fund underweights strategies with the opposite characteristics.
At the asset class level, the Fund was net long in bonds, particularly U.S. short-term Treasury bonds. The Fund was slightly net long in equities, with long positions in U.S. large-capitalization value equities and U.S. small-cap growth equities with a partial hedge in U.S. small-capitalization value equities. Internationally, the Fund was long Europe, short Asia ex Japan and long emerging markets equities with a short position in developed international equities.
How did the Fund’s allocations change over the course of the reporting period?
Based on our proprietary quantitative models, the Fund’s overall bond allocation was little changed over the course of the reporting period, but, within that, some of the Fund’s allocation from aggregate bonds and short-term U.S. Treasury bonds was moved into investment grade corporate bonds. The Fund’s overall equity allocation declined, as emerging markets went from a small positive to a small negative. The Fund also went more short in U.S. large-capitalization growth equities and less short in U.S. small-capitalization value equities.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued) |
During the reporting period, which underlying ETFs had the highest total returns and which underlying ETFs had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing underlying ETFs in the Fund were Guggenheim S&P 500 Pure Value ETF (RPV) and iShares MSCI Japan ETF (EWJ). During the reporting period, iShares MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan ETF (AAXJ) and Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) recorded the lowest total returns.
Which underlying ETFs were the strongest positive contributors to the Fund’s performance and which underlying ETFs were particularly weak?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the underlying ETFs that made the greatest positive contributions to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period were iShares MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan ETF (AAXJ) and iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD). The weakest contributors were iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) and Vanguard Small Cap Value Index Fund (VBR).

The Fund’s position in investment grade bond ETFs was the primary positive contributor to returns. The Fund’s exposure to floating rate senior loans, via an underlying ETF, detracted, largely offsetting those gains.
Similarly, gains from short positions in U.S. small-capitalization equities and long positions in U.S. large-capitalization value equities, via underlying ETFs, were negated by losses from long positions in U.S. small-capitalization growth equity ETFs. Emerging markets in general were a net detractor from Fund performance as was the Fund’s position in a volatility-oriented ETF.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund used derivatives to obtain exposure to long and short positions of the Underlying Index. The long exposures included certain Underlying Index positions, such as investment grade corporate, sovereign, and local authority bonds; short term Treasury securities; equity volatility; and domestic small capitalization stocks. The short exposures included all of the Underlying Index positions, including principally iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF, Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF, and the iShares S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF.
How were the Fund’s assets allocated during the reporting period and why?
The Fund’s allocations are driven by quantitative models that determine the weights across the various hedge fund strategies represented in the Fund as well as the weights of the assets within these strategies. Given the rules-based nature of the process, there is no subjectivity involved in the allocation decision process.
At the asset class level, the Fund was net long in bonds, particularly investment grade bonds and floating rate senior loans. The Fund was also net long in equities, with long positions in U.S. growth-oriented equities and international equities. The Fund was short U.S. small-capitalization value-oriented equities.
How did the Fund’s allocations change over the course of the reporting period?
Based on our proprietary quantitative models and via shifts in its underlying ETF positions, the Fund’s total bond exposure was reduced, largely due to the reduction in the allocation to floating rate senior loans. Some of this reduction was absorbed by an increase in exposure to investment grade corporate bonds. The remaining weight was moved into equities, primarily in a core international equity ETF. The Fund’s allocation to U.S. large-capitalization value equities also increased.
During the reporting period, which underlying ETFs had the highest total returns and which underlying ETFs had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing underlying ETFs in the Fund were Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) and Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF). During the reporting period, Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) recorded the lowest total returns.

Which underlying ETFs were the strongest positive contributors to the Fund’s performance and which underlying ETFs were particularly weak?

IQ Hedge Event-Driven Tracker ETF
How did IQ Hedge Event-Driven Tracker ETF (the “Fund”) perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2016?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund returned –1.26% at NAV (net asset value) and –1.04% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Hedge Event-Driven Index,2 returned –0.63% for the same time period. The HFRI Event-Driven Index2 and the Barclays Capital U.S. Short Term Treasury Bond Index2 returned –5.22%, and 0.29%, respectively, for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The Fund’s position in aggregate bonds, via underlying ETFs, was the primary positive contributor to returns. A short position in investment grade corporate bonds and a long position in convertible bonds, via underlying ETFs, detracted from the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s positions in equity ETFs had a small net negative contribution.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund used derivatives to obtain exposure to long and short positions of the Underlying Index. The long exposures included certain Underlying Index positions, such as investment grade corporate, sovereign, and local authority bonds; short term Treasury securities; equity volatility; and domestic small capitalization stocks. The short exposures included all of the Underlying Index positions, including principally iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF, Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF, and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF.
How were the Fund’s assets allocated during the reporting period and why?
The Fund’s allocations are driven by quantitative models that determine the weights across the various hedge fund strategies represented in the Fund as well as the weights of the assets within these strategies. Given the rules-based nature of the process, there is no subjectivity involved in the allocation decision process.
At the asset class level, the Fund was net long in bonds, particularly convertible bonds and aggregate bonds, but had a short position in investment grade corporate bonds. The Fund was also net long equities, with long positions in U.S. growth-oriented equities and emerging markets equities.
How did the Fund’s allocations change over the course of the reporting period?
During the reporting period, the Fund’s allocations did not change significantly. The Fund had a small decrease in exposure to U.S. large-capitalization growth equities and an offsetting reduction in its short position in investment grade corporate bonds, via underlying ETFs.
During the reporting period, which underlying ETFs had the highest total returns and which underlying ETFs had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing underlying ETFs in the Fund were iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) and iShares Core U.S. Credit Bond ETF (CRED). During the reporting period, Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) recorded the lowest total returns.

On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the underlying ETFs that made the greatest positive contributions to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period were iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) and Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund (BND). The weakest contributors were SPDR Barclays Convertible Securities ETF (CWB) and iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD).

IQ Global Resources ETF
How did IQ Global Resources ETF (the “Fund”) perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2016?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund returned –6.78% at NAV (net asset value) and –6.41% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Global Resources Index,2 returned –4.75% for the same time period. The MSCI® World Index2 and the Bloomberg Commodity Index2 returned –4.17% and –17.45%, respectively, during the same period.
The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Underlying Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Underlying Index.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The Fund seeks to invest in small-, mid- and large-capitalization significant exposure to global commodities and resources. During the first three fiscal quarters of the reporting period, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to other global currencies, while global commodities prices, most notably oil prices, declined. These trends started to reverse during the fourth fiscal quarter, helping to recover from the drawdown earlier in the reporting period.
The Fund has exposure to 11 global currencies, and, in aggregate, the currency effect detracted from performance, with exposure to the British pound, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar detracting the most. The Fund maintained exposure to the U.S. dollar, euro and Japanese yen, which contributed positively to performance, helping dampen the overall currency effect.
From a sector and industry perspective, the Fund’s largest detractors from performance were industrial metals and precious metals. While the energy sector overall performed negatively for most of the reporting period, primarily due to the decline in oil prices, the Fund managed to generate positive returns in the energy sector. The Fund’s exposure to livestock generated the greatest positive sector return.
The Fund also utilizes U.S. and international equity market hedges, which, in aggregate, contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund used derivatives to obtain exposure to long and short positions of the Underlying Index. The long exposures included certain Underlying Index positions, such as investment grade corporate, sovereign, and local authority bonds; short term Treasury securities; equity volatility; and domestic small capitalization stocks. The short exposures included all of the Underlying Index positions, including principally E-mini S&P 500 Future, and the Mini MSCI EAFE Index Future.
During the reporting period, which industries had the highest total returns and which industries had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing industries in the Underlying Index were precious metals, livestock grains, food and fiber. During the reporting period, coal, industrial metals and timber recorded the lowest total returns.
During the reporting period, which industries made the strongest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance and which industries made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, the industries that made the strongest positive contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance were livestock, energy and water. The industries that made the weakest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance were industrial metals, precious metals and timber.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks had the highest total returns and which stocks had the lowest total returns?
Within the Underlying Index, the stocks with the highest total return during the reporting period were Kinross Gold, Detour Gold and First Quantum Minerals. Both Kinross Gold and Detour Gold operate in precious metals mining, while First Quantum Minerals is a copper miner.

| 2 | See page 17 for more information on this index. |
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued) |
The Underlying Index components with the lowest total returns for the reporting period were Horsehead Holding, Peabody Energy and Lonmin. Horsehead Holding operates in zinc mining; Peabody Energy operates in coal; and Lonmin is a precious metals miner.
Which individual stocks made the strongest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance during the reporting period and which stocks made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the stocks that made the strongest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance during the reporting period were Hormel Foods and Tyson Foods, which are each meat and poultry producers; and Sandvik, which is a mining machinery company. The weakest contributors were BHP Billiton, an industrial metals company, as well as Glencore and Rio Tinto, which are each base metals companies.
Were there any changes in the Underlying Index during the reporting period?
The Underlying Index is reconstituted annually with periodic monthly rebalances. In turn, the Fund rebalances its sector weights each month according to a proprietary rotation methodology that overweights sectors with high price momentum and low valuation and underweights sectors with the opposite characteristics.

IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF
How did IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF (the “Fund”) perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2016?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund returned –0.79% at NAV (net asset value) and –0.73% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Merger Arbitrage Index,2 returned 0.25% for the same time period. The S&P 500® Index2 and the MSCI® World Index2 returned 0.55% and –4.17%, respectively, for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The Underlying Index seeks to capture the premium discount of merger targets. Through a proprietary merger selection process, the Underlying Index will select target companies satisfying all required selection criteria and will hold securities until the premium has been realized through a successful merger or when any of the selection criteria are violated during the monthly reconstitution.
Key risks of the strategy include potential withdrawal or cancellation of a pending merger, the failure to meet selection criteria pertaining to liquidity, deal age or size requirements, and the risks associated with deal payment through the use of the acquiring company’s stock. Any or all of these conditions can result in under-realization of the deal premium. During the reporting period, global merger and acquisition activity exceeded $7.2 trillion, with 44% completing successfully and 29% remaining open. The remaining deals were either terminated/withdrawn or did not progress past proposal. During the reporting period, less than 10% of Underlying Index constituents failed to complete the intended merger successfully. Close to 25% were removed due to failing to meet criteria necessary to remain in the Underlying Index. The majority of deals completed successfully.
Regulatory risks related to tax inversion deals persisted during the reporting period, most notably affecting the Allergan/Pfizer merger. (A tax inversion is a transaction used by a company whereby it becomes a subsidiary of a new parent company in another country for the purpose of falling under beneficial tax laws.)
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund used derivatives to obtain exposure to long and short positions of the Underlying Index. The long exposures included certain Underlying Index positions, such as investment grade corporate, sovereign, and local authority bonds; short term Treasury securities; equity volatility; and domestic small capitalization stocks. The short exposures included all of the Underlying Index positions, including principally Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund, Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund, and the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund.
During the reporting period, which sectors had the highest total returns and which sectors had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing sectors in the Underlying Index were consumer staples, industrials and utilities. During the reporting period, energy, health care and materials recorded the lowest total returns.
During the reporting period, which sectors made the strongest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance and which sectors made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, the sectors that made the strongest positive contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance were consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology. The sectors that made the weakest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance were health care, energy and materials.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks had the highest total returns and which stocks had the lowest total returns?
Within the Underlying Index, the stocks with the highest total returns during the reporting period were Starwood Hotels, Integrated Silicon Solutions and Pep-Boys. Starwood Hotels operated in the hotels and hospitality industry. Integrated Silicon Solutions operated in semiconductors. Pep-Boys operated in automobile parts and retail.
The Underlying Index components with the lowest total returns for the reporting period were K+S, Allergan and Alere. K+S operates in agricultural chemicals. Allergan and Alere operate in biotechnology.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued) |
Which individual stocks made the strongest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance during the reporting period and which stocks made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the stocks that made the strongest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance during the reporting period were Time Warner, Baxalta and Starwood Hotels, the latter mentioned earlier. Time Warner operates in media services. Baxalta is a pharmaceutical company.
The weakest contributors were Allergan, mentioned earlier, Baker-Hughes and Office Depot. Baker-Hughes is an oil and gas services company. Office Depot is an office supply retailer.
Were there any changes in the Underlying Index during the reporting period?
The Underlying Index is reconstituted and rebalanced monthly. Intra-month removal of deals occurs only for completed transactions. All other deals are removed at the monthly rebalance. The timing of the rebalance can have both positive and potentially adverse effects, depending on the circumstance of the deal, the number of competing offers, and if new acquirers attempt to acquire existing targets. The Fund’s hedges are also reset at this time.

IQ Real Return ETF
How did IQ Real Return ETF (the “Fund”) perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2016?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund returned 0.11% at NAV (net asset value) and –0.32% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Real Return Index,2 returned 0.49% for the same time period. The Barclays Capital U.S. Short Term Treasury Bond Index2 returned 0.29% for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The Fund’s position in intermediate-term and long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, via underlying ETFs, was the primary positive contributor to returns. Also contributing positively were positions, via underlying ETFs, in U.S. small-capitalization equities and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The only detractor of note during the reporting period was the Fund’s position in a currency ETF focused on the British pound, as the currency declined on anxiety about the possible exit of Britain from the European Union.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund did not use derivatives during the reporting period.
How were the Fund’s assets allocated during the reporting period and why?
The Fund’s allocations are driven by quantitative models that determine the weights across the various hedge fund strategies represented in the Fund as well as the weights of the assets within these strategies. Given the rules-based nature of the process, there is no subjectivity involved in the allocation decision process.
During the reporting period, the Fund had a core position in a short-term U.S. Treasury bond ETF that ranged in allocation from 65% to 70% of Fund assets. The Fund’s next largest allocation was to equities, via underlying ETFs, with a weight that ranged from 12% to 15% of Fund assets. The Fund also held ETFs focused on intermediate-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries, REITs and the British pound.
How did the Fund’s allocations change over the course of the reporting period?
Based on our proprietary quantitative models and via shifts in its underlying ETF positions, the Fund’s short-term U.S. Treasury bond allocation decreased and its equity allocation increased during the reporting period. Via changes in its underlying ETF positions, the Fund’s allocation to intermediate-term U.S. Treasuries increased through the reporting period, absorbing the proceeds from the reduction in long-term U.S. Treasury bonds. The Fund’s position in the British pound ETF was reduced to zero by the end of the reporting period.
During the reporting period, which underlying ETFs had the highest total returns and which underlying ETFs had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing underlying ETFs in the Fund were Vanguard REIT Index Fund (VNQ) and SPDR Dow Jones REIT ETF (RWR). During the reporting period, CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling (FXB) and iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) recorded the lowest total returns.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued) |
Which underlying ETFs were the strongest positive contributors to the Fund’s performance and which underlying ETFs were particularly weak?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the underlying ETFs that made the greatest positive contributions to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period were Vanguard REIT Index Fund (VNQ) and iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF). The weakest contributors were CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling (FXB) and iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY).

The investable universe is limited to the 100 companies that satisfy the market capitalization and liquidity requirements of the Underlying Index selection criteria, and Underlying Index components are weighted by their float-adjusted market capitalization.
During the first three fiscal quarters of the reporting period, the Australian dollar depreciated versus the U.S. dollar. In the fourth fiscal quarter, the Australian dollar appreciated versus the U.S. dollar.
From a sector perspective, the Underlying Index was heavily weighted in materials, consumer discretionary and industrials, which accounted for approximately 50% of the weight of the Underlying Index during the Reporting Period. Although energy accounted for a smaller weighting in the Underlying Index, it was a key negative contributor to both the Underlying Index’s and the Fund’s overall performance, thus mirroring the impact the energy sector has had on the global economy. The effect of the negative total return of the energy sector was somewhat mitigated by the positive contribution made by exposure to the materials sector.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund did not use derivatives during the reporting period.
During the reporting period, which sectors had the highest total returns and which sectors had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing sectors in the Underlying Index were telecommunication services, materials and information technology. During the reporting period, energy, utilities and consumer staples recorded the lowest total returns.
During the reporting period, which sectors made the strongest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance and which sectors made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, the sectors that made the strongest positive contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance were materials, information technology and financials. The sectors that made the weakest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance were energy, consumer discretionary and health care.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks had the highest total returns and which stocks had the lowest total returns?
Within the Underlying Index, the stocks with the highest total returns during the reporting period were Regis Resources and Evolution Mining, each a precious metals mining company, and APN Outdoor Group, an advertising and marketing firm.
The Underlying Index components with the lowest total returns for the reporting period were Slater & Gordon, a professional services firm; Liquefied Natural Gas, a midstream oil and gas company; and Dick Smith Holdings, a consumer electronics and appliances company.

IQ Canada Small Cap ETF

For the 12 months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund returned –8.29% at NAV (net asset value) and –10.39% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Canada Small Cap Index,2 returned –7.43% for the same time period. The MSCI Canada Small Cap Index2 returned –7.38% for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The Underlying Index seeks to capture the performance of the small-capitalization Canadian equity market.

The Canadian dollar depreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the first three quarters of the reporting period but reversed and appreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the fourth quarter of the reporting period. Overall, the lack of relative currency strength, negatively impacted the Underlying Index’s returns when presented in U.S. dollar terms. Also, the Underlying Index has a large weighting in energy, the weakest performing sector during the reporting period, impacted by the decline in oil prices. That said, the materials sector, also a large weighting in the Underlying Index, performed strongly during the reporting period. The Fund’s exposure to the materials sector contributed positively to relative results, nearly offsetting the detracting effect of exposure to the energy sector.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund did not use derivatives during the reporting period.
During the reporting period, which sectors had the highest total returns and which sectors had the lowest total returns?

During the reporting period, which sectors made the strongest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance and which sectors made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, the sectors that made the strongest positive contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance were materials, telecommunication services and consumer staples. The sectors that made the weakest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance were energy, consumer discretionary and health care.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks had the highest total returns and which stocks had the lowest total returns?

IQ Global Oil Small Cap ETF
How did IQ Global Oil Small Cap ETF (the “Fund”) perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2016?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund returned –30.69% at NAV (net asset value) and –29.39% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Global Oil Small Cap Index,2 returned –30.25% for the same time period. The MSCI World Small Cap Index2 and the Russell Global Small Cap Energy Index returned –2.56% and –35.34%, respectively, during the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The Underlying Index applies size and liquidity rules to select small capitalization pure-oil companies and uses a float-adjusted market capitalization weighting methodology.
The global price of oil was the dominant theme during the reporting period that impacted the energy sector as a whole and oil companies in particular. As a global strategy, the Underlying Index was also subject to currency risks. The U.S. dollar performed strongly during the first three fiscal quarters of the reporting period. The combination of the drop in oil prices and the strengthening U.S. dollar negatively affected U.S.-based companies operating in the oil industry. The final fiscal quarter of the reporting period saw a depreciating U.S. dollar and an increase in oil prices, which helped mitigate the downward trending performance.
The Fund’s sector exposure also contributed negatively to its performance, with all three sectors in which the Underlying Index and the Fund invest posting negative absolute returns.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund did not use derivatives during the reporting period.
During the reporting period, which industries had the highest total returns and which industries had the lowest total returns?
The Underlying Index is organized into three sectors. All three sectors posted negative total returns during the reporting period. The industries in order of descending total return were refining and marketing; equipment, services and drilling; and exploration and production.
During the reporting period, which industries made the strongest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance and which industries made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, all three industries in which the Underlying Index and the Fund invest detracted from performance. The industries in order of descending contribution to return were equipment, services and drilling; refining and marketing; and exploration and production.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks had the highest total returns and which stocks had the lowest total returns?
Within the Underlying Index, the stocks with the highest total returns during the reporting period were Seven Generations Energy, Baytex Energy and Tullow Oil, each an oil exploration and production company.
The Underlying Index components with the lowest total returns for the reporting period were Stone Energy, Legacy Reserves and Linn Energy, each also an oil exploration and production company.

The Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index2 returned 6.40% for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?

Over time, mortgage REITs have shown interest rate sensitivity. Office REITs and retail REITs are affected by the overall economic environment. Virtually all publicly-traded U.S. REITs exhibit sensitivity to the broad U.S. equity market. Other factors that affect REITs are the metropolitan markets in which they operate and the various types of properties that comprise the REIT’s portfolio.
During the reporting period, the Underlying Index’s mortgage REIT sector underperformed the other REIT sectors, posting the largest negative contribution to return. Retail and office REITs posted positive contributions.

Local market economies were also a primary influence on the negative performance of the local international developed equity markets as were broader concerns regarding a global economic slowdown. Local market monetary and interest rate policies also had a negative influence.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund uses currency forwards to hedge 50% of its respective currency exposure of the component securities of the Underlying Index. The hedge is reset monthly using 30-day forward contracts.
During the reporting period, which sectors had the highest total returns and which sectors had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing sectors in the Underlying Index were consumer goods, oil & gas and utilities. During the reporting period, financials, basic materials and telecommunications recorded the lowest total returns.

The sectors that made the weakest contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance were financials, health care and basic materials.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks had the highest total returns and which stocks had the lowest total returns?

IQ Leaders GTAA Tracker ETF
How did IQ Leaders GTAA Tracker ETF (the “Fund”) perform from its inception on September 30, 2015 through April 30, 2016?
From its inception on September 30, 2015 through April 30, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund returned 5.50% at NAV (net asset value) and 1.72% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Leaders GTAA Index2, returned 5.99% for the same time period. The MSCI All Cap World Index (Net)2 returned 9.00% for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The Fund’s short positions in the utilities, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors, via underlying ETFs, detracted from its performance as did its long position in convertible bonds. Conversely, the Fund’s long positions in equities, specifically U.S. large-capitalization core equity sectors and core international equities, via underlying ETFs, were the primary positive contributors to returns. The materials and information technology sectors had the biggest positive effects. The Fund’s weighting in a U.S. small-capitalization equity ETF also made a positive contribution. The Fund was also aided during the reporting period by its positions in aggregate bonds and high yield corporate bonds, via underlying ETFs.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund used derivatives to obtain exposure to long and short positions of the Underlying Index. The long exposures included certain Underlying Index positions, such as investment grade corporate, sovereign, and local authority bonds; short term Treasury securities; equity volatility; and domestic small capitalization stocks. The short exposures included all of the Underlying Index positions, including principally Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund, Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund, and the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF.
How were the Fund’s assets allocated during the reporting period and why?
The Fund’s allocations are driven by quantitative models that determine the weights across the various hedge fund strategies represented in the Fund as well as the weights of the assets within these strategies. Given the rules-based nature of the process, there is no subjectivity involved in the allocation decision process.
At the asset class level, the Fund was allocated approximately 60% in equities and 40% in bonds. Within fixed income, aggregate bonds were the largest position, followed by high yield corporate bonds. In equities, the Fund had approximately half of its weighting in core international equities. The materials and information technology sectors were the largest equity sector allocations. The Fund also had approximately 7.5% of its assets in U.S. small-capitalization equities.
How did the Fund’s allocations change over the course of the reporting period?
Based on our proprietary quantitative models, the Fund’s overall bond allocation declined somewhat during the reporting period, but, within that, the Fund’s allocation changed even more, as the Fund shifted its exposure away from investment grade corporate bonds and convertible bonds and toward intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bonds and high yield corporate bonds. The Fund’s equity allocation to the consumer discretionary and health care sectors increased.
During the reporting period, which underlying ETFs had the highest total returns and which underlying ETFs had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing underlying ETFs in the Fund were Vanguard Materials Index Fund (VAW) and Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLB). During the reporting period, Vanguard Health Care Index Fund (VHT) and Vanguard Financials Index Fund (VFH) recorded the lowest total returns.

Which underlying ETFs were the strongest positive contributors to the Fund’s performance and which underlying ETFs were particularly weak?

The weakest contributors were Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU) and SPDR Barclays Convertible Securities ETF (CWB).

Fund Expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs on purchases and sales and (2) ongoing costs, including Advisory fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. Shareholders may pay brokerage commissions on their purchase and sale of the Fund, which are not reflected in the example.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information together with the amount you invested, in a particular Fund, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid for Period 11/01/15 to 4/30/16” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Each Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying ETF investments in which each Fund invests. These expenses are not included in the table.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The Funds will indirectly bear their pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying fund investments in which the Funds invest. These expenses are not included in the table.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Account Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. Each Fund prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and follows the significant accounting policies described below.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2016 |
Use of Estimates
Management makes certain 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 reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with third party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnifications.
Investment Valuation
Each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” A Creation Unit consists of 50,000 Shares. The net asset value (“NAV”) of the Shares of the Fund will be equal to the Fund’s total assets minus the Fund’s total liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of Creation Units, the NAV will be calculated to five decimal places. For purposes of calculating NAV, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available will be valued at market value. Market value will generally be determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services.
In calculating NAV, the Fund’s exchange-traded Equity Securities will be valued at market value, which will generally be determined using the last reported official closing or last trading price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation or, if no sale has occurred, at the last quoted mid-price on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. Investment company securities (other than ETFs) will be valued at NAV.
Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. are generally valued at the NASDAQ official closing price.
Unsponsored depositary receipts will be valued at the last quoted mid-price. Debt Securities will be valued using market quotations when available or other equivalent indications of value provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Short-term Debt Instruments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV determined by using market quotes.
A swap on an exchange-listed security or securities is valued based on the last reported sale price of the swap’s underlying security or securities on the exchange where the security or securities is primarily traded, or if no sale price is available, at the mid-price of the security or securities underlying the swap on the exchange where the security is primarily traded. A swap on an index is valued based on the publicly available index price. The index price, in turn, is determined by the applicable index calculation agent, which generally values the securities underlying the index at the last reported sale price.
Futures contracts generally will be valued at the settlement or closing price determined by the applicable exchange. Exchange-traded option contracts, including options, futures and swaps, will be valued at their most recent sale price. If no such sales are reported, these contracts will be valued at their last traded price.
Over-the counter (“OTC”) traded Financial Instruments, including OTC-traded options, forwards and currency-related derivatives, will normally be valued on the basis of quotes obtained from a third party broker-dealer who makes markets in such securities or on the basis of quotes obtained from an independent third-party pricing service.
Foreign securities and instruments will be valued in their local currency following the methodologies described above. Foreign securities, instruments and currencies will be translated to U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by the London Stock Exchange.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2016 |
When market quotations are not readily available, or deemed unreliable or do not reflect material events occurring between the close of local markets and the time of valuation, investments will be valued using fair value pricing as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). According to the Registration Statement, the NAV will be calculated by The Bank of New York Mellon the (“Administrator”) and determined each Business Day as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange (ordinarily 4:00 PM, Eastern Time). The Shares of the Fund will not be priced on days on which the Exchange is closed for trading.
Each Fund automatically sweeps uninvested cash balances into a money market fund, the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Treasury Portfolio — Institutional Class. The Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Treasury Portfolio seeks preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximum current income. The Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Treasury Portfolio has no redemption restriction and is valued at the daily NAV.
Under normal conditions, each Fund invests cash collateral from securities lending activities into Dreyfus Government Cash Management Fund. The Dreyfus Government Cash Management’s investment objective is to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. Dreyfus Government Cash Management has no redemption restrictions and is valued at the daily NAV.
Fair Value Measurement
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the following hierarchy:
• | | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. |
• | | Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
• | | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. With respect to the valuation of Level 3 securities, IndexIQ Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) may employ a market-based valuation approach which may use related or comparable securities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information to determine fair value. The Advisor may also use an income-based valuation approach in which anticipated future cash flows of the financial instrument are discounted to calculate fair value. The Advisor representatives meet regularly to review and discuss the appropriateness of such fair values using more current information such as, recent security news, recent market transactions, updated corporate action information and/or other macro or security specific events.
All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted

April 30, 2016 |
by the Board, although the actual calculations may be done by others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value each Fund’s investments at April 30, 2016 is disclosed at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Tax Information, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders and Uncertain Tax Positions
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of the taxable income to the shareholders of the Fund within the allowable time limits. Distributions to Shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In addition, the Funds may determine to distribute at least annually amounts representing the full dividend yield net of expenses on the underlying investment securities, as if the Funds owned the underlying investment securities for the entire dividend period in which case some portion of each distribution may result in a return of capital. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed that earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported as a tax return of capital. Therefore, no federal, state and local income tax provisions are required.
Management evaluates each Fund’s tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years (for up to three tax years), and has concluded that no provisions for federal, state and local income tax are required in each Fund’s financial statements. Each Fund’s federal, state and local income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state and local departments of revenue.
Foreign Taxes
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income and other transaction-based taxes imposed by certain countries in which they invest. A portion of the taxes on gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.
The Funds may be subject to taxation on realized capital gains, repatriation proceeds and other transaction-based taxes imposed by certain countries in which they invest. The Funds will accrue the unrecoverable portion of such taxes as applicable based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the market in which they invests. Capital gains taxes relating to positions still held are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as well as an adjustment to the Funds’ net unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Taxes related to capital gains realized during the year ended April 30, 2016, if any, are reflected as part of net realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Changes in tax liabilities related to capital gains taxes on unrealized investment gains, if any, are reflected as part of the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Transaction-based charges are generally assessed as a percentage of the transaction amount.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2016 |
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less when acquired, and are disclosed as Short-Term Investments in the Schedules of Investments.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities are calculated using the identified cost method.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains/(losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on investment transactions.
Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.
Securities Lending
The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the Funds’ securities lending agent. The Funds may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Funds’ securities lending agent. It is the Funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral in the form of cash and/or high grade debt obligations, equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities loaned, is maintained at all times. Cash collateral can be invested in certain money market mutual funds which also have exposure to the fluctuations of the market. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. The dividend and interest income earned on the securities loaned is accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income. The borrower pays to the Funds an amount equal to any dividends or interest received on loaned securities. Lending portfolio securities could result in a loss or delay in recovering the Funds’ securities if the borrower defaults.
A Fund’s security lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between the Fund and the lending agent. The Lending Agreement authorizes the lending agent to lend qualifying U.S. and foreign securities held by a Fund to approved borrowers (each a “Borrower”). To mitigate borrower risk, a Fund typically receives from a Borrower, collateral in the form of U.S. dollar cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. Under the provisions of the Lending Agreement, a Fund shall have, as to the collateral, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law. A Fund is exposed to risk of loss if a Borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities and the value of the collateral a Fund received is insufficient to cover the market value of the securities loaned. Also, the lending agent is permitted to invest the cash collateral it receives from a Borrower into a money market fund which is subject to market fluctuation. Therefore, a Fund is exposed to risk of loss if the value of invested cash collateral is insufficient to satisfy the Fund’s obligation to return the full amount owed to such Borrower.
In accordance with the securities lending agreement between the Funds and the Bank of New York Mellon, the Funds will be the indemnified by the Bank of New York Mellon in the event of default of a Borrower.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2016 |
The securities lending income earned by each Fund is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at April 30, 2016 are shown on a gross basis in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Master Netting Arrangements
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives (“OTC”), including Forward Contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms, netting and rights of set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its derivatives counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset assets and liabilities subject to master netting arrangements or similar arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Total Return Swap contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on total return swap contracts of the instrument. Securities segregated as collateral for swap contracts are footnoted within each Fund’s Schedule of Investments and the cash collateral is noted at the end of each Fund’s swap table.
At April 30, 2016 the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on total return swap contracts for the following funds were zero, reflecting a reset date at period end based on the contractual agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital Service LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), each Fund’s counterparty.

Investment Income and Expenses
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Distributions of realized capital gains by underlying funds are recorded as realized capital gains on the ex-date. Expenses of the Trust arising in connection with a specific Fund are allocated to that Fund. Other Trust expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust based upon the relative net assets or other appropriate measures. The Funds distribute substantially all their net investment income to shareholders in the form of dividends. Net investment income and net capital gains are typically distributed to shareholders at least annually; the IQ U.S. Real Estate Small Cap ETF distributes income quarterly. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The expenses of the investment companies in which a Fund invests are not included in the amounts shown as expenses on the Statements of Operations or in the expense ratios included in the financial highlights.
3. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Investment Advisory Agreement
Under an Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Trusts, on behalf of each Fund, the Advisor provides a continuous investment program for each Fund’s assets in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and limitations, and oversees the day-to-day operations of a Fund, subject to the supervision of the Independent Trustees of the Trust (“Independent Trustees”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Funds pay the Advisor an advisory fee, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund, at the following annual rates:
Fund | Rate |
IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF | 0.75% |
IQ Hedge Macro Tracker ETF | 0.75% |
IQ Hedge Market Neutral Tracker ETF | 0.75% |
IQ Hedge Long/Short Tracker ETF | 0.75% |
IQ Hedge Event-Driven Tracker ETF | 0.75% |
IQ Global Resources ETF | 0.75% |
IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF | 0.75% |
IQ Real Return ETF | 0.48% |
IQ Australia Small Cap ETF | 0.69% |
IQ Canada Small Cap ETF | 0.69% |
IQ Global Agribusiness Small Cap ETF | 0.75% |
IQ Global Oil Small Cap ETF | 0.75% |
IQ U.S. Real Estate Small Cap ETF | 0.69% |
IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE International ETF | 0.35% |
IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE Europe ETF | 0.45% |
IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE Japan ETF | 0.45% |
IQ Leaders GTAA Tracker ETF | 0.45% |
Such fee is accrued daily and paid monthly.
The Advisor has agreed to pay all expenses of the Funds, except brokerage and other transaction expenses; extraordinary legal fees or expenses, such as those for litigation or arbitration; compensation and expenses of the Independent Trustees, counsel to the Independent Trustees, and the Funds’ chief compliance officer; extraordinary expenses; distribution fees and expenses paid by the Funds under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and the advisory fee payable to the Advisor hereunder.
Distribution (12b-1 Fees)
ALPS Distributors, Inc. serves as the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”) pursuant to a Distribution Services Agreement. The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1 Plan”). In accordance with the Rule 12b-1 Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay an amount up to 0.10% of each Fund’s average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. As authorized by the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of each Fund’s assets. The Advisor and its affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Funds.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2016 |
Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent
The Bank of New York Mellon (in each capacity, the “Administrator,” “Custodian” or “Transfer Agent”) serves as the Funds’ Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent pursuant to the Fund Administration and Accounting Agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, the Advisor pays the Funds’ Administrative, Custody and Transfer Agency fees. The Bank of New York Mellon is a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a financial holding company.
As described in Note 4 below, the Distributor has entered into Participant Agreements with certain broker-dealers and others that allow those parties to be “Authorized Participants” and to subscribe for and redeem shares of the Funds, also as described in Note 4 below. Such Authorized Participants may from time to time hold, of record or beneficially, a substantial percentage of the Funds’ shares outstanding, act as executing or clearing broker for investment transactions on behalf of the Funds and/or serve as counterparty to derivative transactions with each Fund.
4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
As of April 30, 2016, there were an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust. Shares are created and redeemed on a continuous basis at NAV only in groups of 50,000 shares called Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable. Transactions in shares of the Funds are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Only “Authorized Participants” may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to create and redeem 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. Securities received or delivered in connection with in-kind creates and redeems are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the creation or redemption.
5. FEDERAL INCOME TAX
At April 30, 2016, the cost of investments on a tax basis including the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting year was as follows:

The differences between book and tax basis cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals, pass through investments and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies held at April 30, 2016.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to the tax treatment of foreign currency gains and losses, investments in passive foreign investment companies, publicly traded partnerships, grantors trusts, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, swaps, and redemptions in-kind.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2016 |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, are effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term. Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years and all carryforwards were considered short-term in character. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to the effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused.
At April 30, 2016, the Funds listed below had net capital loss carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes which are available for offset against future taxable net capital gains. The amounts were determined after adjustments for certain differences between financial reporting and tax purposes, such as wash sale losses. Accordingly, no capital gain distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders of these Funds until future net capital gains have been realized in excess of the available capital loss carryforwards. There is no assurance that any Fund will be able to utilize all of its capital loss carryforwards before they expire. These loss carryforwards expire in amounts and fiscal years as follows:
| | Short-Term | | Short-Term | | | | Short-Term | | Long-Term |

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Swap Transactions
A swap agreement is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other instruments. Most swap agreements provide that when the period payment dates for both parties are the same, the payments are made on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with only the net amount paid by one party to the other). The Funds’ obligations or rights under a swap agreement entered into on a net basis 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 counterparty. Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and there is no central clearing or guaranty function for total return swaps. Swaps could result in losses if interest rate or foreign currency exchange rates or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by the Funds or if the reference index, security or investments do not perform as expected.
The value of a total return swap agreement is recorded as either an asset or a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period. Segregated securities are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Daily changes in valuation of total return swaps, if any, are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation in the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or payment made upon termination of a swap agreement.
When the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap agreement, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge cash or liquid securities as collateral with a value at least equal to the amount of the unrealized loss. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted with the fluctuations of the swap value.
Certain of the Funds intend to use total return swaps in several ways to replicate the performance of the Index. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. Therefore the Funds consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying instruments.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2016 |
Pursuant to documentation governing the Funds’ swap transactions with Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley has the right to terminate the swaps early in the event that the net assets of the given Fund decline below specific levels set forth in the documentation (“net asset contingent features”). In the event of early termination, Morgan Stanley may require the Funds to pay or receive a settlement amount in connection with the terminated swap transaction. IQ Leaders GTAA Tracker ETF utilized swaps to effect both long and short exposure to several asset classes and market segments, including long exposure to convertible bonds, corporate bonds, government bonds, and domestic and international equities; and short exposure to domestic consumer equities, domestic energy related equities, high yield bonds, and intermediate term treasury notes. As of April 30, 2016, the Funds have not triggered the conditions under such documentation that will give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination. As of such date, the settlement values of these contracts were approximately equal to the fair value of such contracts.
Futures Contracts
Certain Funds may invest in futures contracts (“futures”) in order to replicate exposures to their respective underlying index components. Investments in futures may increase or leverage exposure to a particular market risk, thereby increasing price volatility of derivative instruments a Fund holds. No price is paid or received by a Fund upon the purchase of a futures contract.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
During the year ended April 30, 2016, IQ Global Resources ETF utilized futures contracts to affect short exposure to domestic and international equity returns.
At April 30, 2016, there were no open futures contracts.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
Certain Funds may enter into foreign currency transactions to seek a closer correlation between the Funds’ overall currency exposures and the currency exposures of the Underlying Index as a part of its principal investment strategy.
The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for hedging purposes, to seek to protect against anticipated changes in future foreign currency exchange rates. A forward foreign currency exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are traded in the interbank market between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. A forward contract generally has no deposit requirement, and no commissions are generally charged at any stage for trades.
Upon entering into a forward foreign currency contract a Fund is required to segregate permissible liquid assets, or engage in other measures approved by the SEC to “cover” the Fund’s obligations relating to its transactions in derivatives. Fluctuations in the value of open forward contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on forward contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses on forward contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have matured or were sold.
The open forward foreign currency contracts at April 30, 2016, are listed in the Schedules of Investments. The unrealized appreciation/depreciation, as applicable, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

9. RISKS INVOLVED WITH INVESTING IN THE FUNDS
The Funds are subject to the principal risks described below, some or all of these risks may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. As with any investment, an investment in a Fund could result in a loss or the performance of a Fund could be inferior to that of other investments.
Currency Risk*
Certain Funds will invest in securities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars (foreign currencies) and much of the income received by the Fund will be in foreign currencies, but the Underlying Index and the Fund’s NAV will be calculated in U.S. dollars. Furthermore a Fund may convert cash in U.S. dollars to foreign currencies to purchase securities. Both the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index and Fund returns in general may be adversely impacted by changes in currency exchange rates, which can occur quickly and without warning.
Currency Hedging Risk**
Certain Funds uses various strategies to attempt to reduce the impact of changes in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar. These strategies may not be successful. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. Therefore, the value of an investment in a Fund may also go up or down quickly and unpredictably and investors may lose money.
Fund of Funds Risk***
Certain Funds’ investment performance, because they are funds of funds, depend on the investment performance of the underlying ETFs in which they invest. An investment in any such Fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying ETFs that comprise its Underlying Index. Such a Fund will indirectly pay a proportional share of the asset-based fees, if any, of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Exchange Traded Vehicle Risk***
Unlike an investment in a mutual fund, the value of the Funds’ investments in ETFs, exchange-traded vehicles (“ETVs”) and exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) is based on stock market prices and the Funds could lose money due to stock market developments, the failure of an active trading market to develop, or exchange trading halts or de-listings. Federal law prohibits the Funds from acquiring investment company shares, including shares of ETFs, in excess of specific thresholds unless exempted by rule, regulation or exemptive order. These prohibitions may prevent the Funds from allocating their investments to ETFs in an optimal manner.
Index Risk
The Funds’ Underlying Indexes and the Funds rebalance only on a monthly or quarterly basis, which may cause the performance of the Underlying Indexes and the Funds to deviate from that of the market exposure that they are trying to achieve.
Industry Concentration Risk
A Fund will not invest 25% or more of the value of the Fund’s total assets in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry or group of industries; except that, to the extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated in a particular industry, the Fund also will be concentrated in that

industry. The risk of concentrating Fund investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of industries will subject the Fund to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors.
Tracking Error Risk
Each Fund’s performance may not match its Underlying Index during any period of time. Although each Fund attempts to track the performance of its Underlying Index, a Fund may not be able to duplicate its exact composition or return for any number of reasons, including but not limited to risk that the strategies used by the Advisor to match the performance of the Underlying Indexes may fail to produce the intended results, liquidity risk and new fund risk, as well as the incurring of Fund expenses, which the Underlying Index does not incur.
Foreign Securities Risk
Certain Funds invest directly or indirectly (through underlying ETFs) in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, which involves risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional and custody costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability.
Total Return Swap Risk****
Total return swaps give the Funds the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. Total return swaps can also be used to replicate an exposure to a short position in an asset class where the Funds have the right to receive the depreciation in value of a specified security, index or other instrument (“inverse swaps”). If the underlying asset in a total return swap declines in value (or increases in value, if an inverse swap) over the term of the swap, the Funds may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline (or increase, if an inverse swap) to the counterparty. Therefore, swaps are subject to credit risk or the risk of default or non-performance by the counterparty.
Futures Risk*****
Certain Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Funds’ credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.
Small Capitalization Companies Risk******
Certain Funds invest primarily in the stocks of small capitalization companies, which may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Stock prices of small capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small capitalization companies may be thinly traded, making it difficult to buy and sell them.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of IndexIQ ETF Trust:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, as of April 30, 2016, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios comprising the IndexIQ ETF Trust indicated in the table below (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at April 30, 2016, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and each of their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The financial statements of the Funds as of and for periods ended on or before April 30, 2014 were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 27, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) |
The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) of the Trust met in person on March 28, 2016, to consider the approval of an amendment to the Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of its funds, and the Advisor, to apply such Advisory Agreement to the IQ Enhanced Core Bond U.S. Fixed Income ETF, IQ Enhanced Core Plus Bond U.S. Fixed Income ETF, IQ Candriam Sustainable US Equity ETF, IQ Candriam Sustainable World Equity ETF, IQ Candriam Sustainable International Equity ETF, IQ Candriam Sustainable European Equity ETF, and IQ Candriam Sustainable Asia Pacific Equity ETF (together, the “New Funds”). The Trustees also considered the continuation, for an additional year, of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the existing series of the Trust for which the Advisory Agreement applies (together with the “New Funds”, the “Funds”).
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Advisor relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the amendment to the Advisory Agreement to apply such agreement to the New Funds, as well as the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the existing Funds. In connection with considering approval of the amendment to and continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), met in executive session with counsel to the Trust and counsel to the Independent Trustees, who provided assistance and advice. The consideration of the both the amendment to and the continuation of the Advisory Agreement was conducted by both the full Board and the Independent Trustees, who also voted separately.
During their review and consideration, the Board and the Independent Trustees focused on and analyzed the factors they deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, both for the Trust’s existing Funds and the proposed New Funds, and the fees to be charged by the Advisor; (2) information concerning business and operations, compliance program and portfolio management team of the Advisor, (3) the investment performance of the existing Funds; (3) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor and their affiliates from the relationship with the Trust; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow; (5) any benefits derived or to be derived by the Advisor from the relationship with the Trust; and (6) potential conflicts of interest.
In reviewing such factors, the Board relied on certain information, including (1) a copy of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement and of the Advisory Agreement, itself; (2) information describing the Advisor and the services provided thereby; (3) information regarding the compliance program and portfolio management team of the Advisor; (4) copies of the Form ADV for the Advisor; (5) memoranda and guidance from Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP on the fiduciary responsibilities of trustees, including Independent Trustees, in considering advisory and distribution agreements under the 1940 Act; and (6) materials provided by the Advisor in response to a 15(c) request for information from Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP. In addition, the Board was provided data comparing the advisory fees and operating expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses) of the Funds with expenses and performance of other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives and policies. The Trustees also considered their personal experiences as Trustees and participants in the exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) and mutual fund industry, as applicable.
In particular, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees, considered and discussed the following with respect to the Funds:
1. | | The nature, extent and quality of the facilities and services provided by the Advisor. The Board noted the responsibilities that Advisor has as the Funds’ investment adviser, including overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of each Fund’s securities portfolio, monitoring Fund compliance with regulatory requirements and Fund objectives and policies, daily monitoring of the portfolio, overseeing Fund service providers, obtaining licenses for use of indexes tracked by the Funds, providing officers for the Funds, ongoing reporting to the Board, and the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Funds. For the New Funds, the Board considered the services rendered in respect of the existing Funds in assessing services expected to be provided to the New Funds. |
The Board reviewed the experience, resources, and strengths of the Advisor in managing the existing Funds of the Trust, the IndexIQ Trust’s mutual fund, as well as separately managed accounts. Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, and based on the performance of the existing Funds of the Trust, the Board determined that the Funds, including the New Funds, were likely to benefit from the nature, quality, and extent of these services, as well as the Advisor’s ability to render such services based on its personnel, experience, operations, and resources.
Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)(continued) |
2. | | Comparison of services provided and fees charged by the Advisor and other investment advisers to similar clients, and the cost of the services provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds. The Board then compared both the services rendered and the fees paid with respect to the Funds (and those proposed to be paid in respect of the New Funds) pursuant to the Advisory Agreement to contracts of other registered investment advisers providing services to similar ETFs. In particular, the Board compared each Fund’s advisory fee and expense ratio (including acquired fund fees and expenses) to other investment companies considered to be in each such Fund’s peer group. |
After comparing each Fund’s fees with those of other investment companies in the Fund’s peer group, and in light of the nature, quality, and extent of services provided by the Advisor (and those proposed to be provided in respect of the New Funds) and the costs incurred by the Advisor in rendering those services, the Board concluded that the level of fees paid (or proposed to be paid) to the Advisor with respect to each Fund is fair and reasonable.
3. | | The Advisor’s profitability and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale. The Board discussed with the Advisor the costs and profitability of the Advisor in connection with its serving as investment adviser to each Fund, including operational costs. |
4. | | Investment performance of the Funds. The Board considered the investment performance of the existing Funds, including tracking error. In particular, the Board considered the investment performance of the Funds relative to their stated objectives and the success of the Advisor in reaching such objectives. The Board considered each Fund’s investment performance compared to the underlying index that each Fund seeks to track and includes in its prospectus and shareholder reports. The Board also considered each Fund’s investment performance compared to the respective Fund’s peer group. In respect of the New Funds, the Board considered that the New Funds had not yet commenced operations, and therefore had no performance or operational history to consider. |
Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, and while no single factor was determinative in the decision, the Independent Trustees concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor were reasonable and fair to the Funds and to recommend to the Board the approval of the Advisory Agreement. As a result, all of the Board members, including the Independent Trustees, determined that (i) the amendment of the Advisory Agreement to apply such agreement to the New Funds and (ii) the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with IndexIQ was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Board and the Independent Trustees, voting separately, approved the amendment to the Advisory Agreement and the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Audit Fees
| (a) | The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years are $302,500 for 2016 and $226,000 for 2015. |
