Shareholder Letter (unaudited)
Message from the President
Stock and bond markets generally gained ground during the 12-month period ended April 30, 2024, bolstered by better-than-expected economic growth and the prospect of monetary easing in the face of a myriad of macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges.
Throughout the reporting period, interest rates remained at their highest levels in decades in most developed countries, with the U.S. federal funds rate in the 5.25%−5.50% range for most of the period, as central banks struggled to bring inflation under control. In late-2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve began to forecast interest rate cuts in 2024, but delayed action as inflation remained stubbornly high, fluctuating between 3.0% and 3.7%. Nevertheless, despite the increasing cost of capital and tighter lending environment that resulted from sustained high rates, economic growth remained surprisingly robust, supported by high levels of consumer spending, low unemployment and strong corporate earnings. Investors tended to shrug off concerns related to sticky inflation and high interest rates—not to mention the ongoing war in Ukraine, intensifying hostilities in the Middle East and simmering tensions between China and the United States—focusing instead on the positives of continued economic growth and surprisingly strong corporate profits.
The S&P 500® Index, a widely regarded benchmark of U.S. market performance, produced solid gains during the reporting period, reaching record levels in March 2024. A preponderance of the Index’s gains were generated by a relatively small number of growth-oriented, mega-cap stocks in the communication services and information technology sectors that stood to benefit from rapid developments in generative artificial intelligence (“AI”). Value-oriented, interest-rate sensitive and small-capitalization shares lagged by significant margins, although market strength widened late in the reporting period. Most overseas equity markets trailed the U.S. market, as developed international economies experienced relatively low growth rates, and weak economic conditions in China undermined emerging markets.
Bonds produced mixed results. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit a high of just under 5% in mid-October 2023, ranging between approximately 3.5% and 4.8% for most of the reporting period. The yield curve remained inverted throughout the year, with the 2-year Treasury yield modestly above the 10-year yield, a pattern often viewed as indicative of an impending economic slowdown. Long-term Treasury bonds declined early in the reporting period amid the prevailing environment of macroeconomic uncertainty and rising interest rates, although they later regained some of the lost ground as interest rates stabilized. Corporate bonds produced slightly stronger returns than Treasury securities, driven by more attractive valuations and income opportunities after years of low yields and tight credit spreads. Among corporates, markets generally rewarded longer duration and lower credit quality as investors sought higher yields, despite the added risks implicit in an uptick in default rates. International bond markets also produced mixed returns, with emerging-markets debt advancing over their developed-markets counterparts.
In the midst of the risks and uncertainties inherent in today’s markets, we remain dedicated to providing you with the disciplined investment tools you have come to expect from New York Life Investments over the years.
Thank you for continuing to place your trust in our team.
Sincerely,
Kirk C. Lehneis
President

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF
How did IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2024?
IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Index, the ETF’s Underlying Index, attempts to achieve performance similar to the overall hedge fund universe as measured by the Barclay Hedge Fund Index (“BHFI”) by replicating the “beta”1 portion of the hedge fund return characteristics (i.e., that portion of the returns that are non-idiosyncratic, or unrelated to manager skill) over longer-term periods. The BHFI is simply the arithmetic average of the net returns of all the funds (excepting funds of funds) in the Barclay database that have reported that month. In seeking to maintain a high correlation with the BHFI, the Underlying Index uses a systematic model to select and weight long and short factors spanning multiple asset classes and alternative strategies.
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF returned 8.11% at NAV (net asset value) and 8.00% at market price.2 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Index3 returned 8.61% for the reporting period. The S&P 500® Index (Net),3 Barclay Hedge Fund Index3 and Barclay Fund of Funds Index3 returned 22.09%, 9.90% and 8.08%, respectively, for the reporting period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
Stubborn inflation, and efforts by central banks to tame it through monetary policy, exerted an outsized influence over market conditions during the reporting period. While inflation cooled considerably from its high of 9.1.% in June 2022, it remained persistently above the target set by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and exhibited signs of resurgence in the opening months of 2024. Consequently, interest rates stayed elevated, rising to a range of 5.25%−5.50% at the Fed’s July 2023 meeting, and remained at that level through the end of the reporting period.
Although a recession or economic slowdown did not materialize as anticipated, heightened borrowing costs weighed on market sentiment throughout the reporting period. While a repeat of the March 2023 regional banking crisis did not occur, concerns abounded over the latent impact of restrictive borrowing costs and the possibility that more areas of stress could emerge. Potentially vulnerable areas—such as commercial real estate (notably the office sector) and heavily exposed regional banks—were monitored with increasing alarm. Attention sharpened on other worrying developments as well, such as rising credit card and auto-delinquencies, along with looming debt maturations and refinancing needs for smaller companies reliant on short-term and/or floating-rate debt.
While the path of inflation and monetary policy decisions and expectations played a dominant role, other factors also wielded significant influence over market conditions. Resilient consumer spending, durable corporate earnings, labor market expansion and productivity gains, supportive fiscal policy, and the emergence and diffusion of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology were among the key contributors that led to surprisingly steady economic growth. Against this backdrop of resilient growth, equity markets surged to record highs and remained near record territory as of the close of the reporting period.
On the risk front, in addition to persistent inflation and tight borrowing costs, sharpening geopolitical fragmentation and armed conflicts—including the continuation of the war in Ukraine and outbreak of war in Israel—injected substantial volatility into equity markets and weighed heavily on government spending decisions, international relations, commodities markets and global supply chains.
Taken together, the above crosscurrents weighed appreciably on key asset class performance drivers, particularly global trade activity, earnings outlooks, interest-rate levels, credit spreads, commodity prices, currency volatility and market sentiment.
1Beta is a measure of volatility in relation to the market as a whole. A beta higher than 1 indicates that a security or portfolio will tend to exhibit higher volatility than the market. A beta lower than 1 indicates that a security or portfolio will tend to exhibit lower volatility than the market.
2The price used to calculate the market price returns is determined by using the closing price listed on the NYSE Arca and does not represent returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued)
Amid this volatile macro environment, the ETF adhered to its objective of providing stable, diversified, uncorrelated returns.
During the reporting period, how was the ETF’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The Fund used derivative positions where necessary to help it track the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Index, which contained both long and short positions. The Fund’s derivatives positions were primarily total return swaps on the ETFs at the weights in which they were included in the Underlying Index. Derivatives were not used to gain leverage beyond the index positioning; rather, they were used exclusively to enable the Fund to track its Underlying Index.
How were the ETF’s assets allocated during the reporting period and why?
During the reporting period, the Underlying Index implemented a new methodology, introducing substantive changes to its asset allocation model. Effective June 6, 2023, the Underlying Index seeks to replicate a single hedge fund index instead of multiple hedge fund sub-strategy indices, and follows a quarterly rebalancing schedule, as opposed to monthly. Additionally, the portfolio max gross exposure increased from 120% to 160%.
Pursuant to the new methodology, the Underlying Index now attempts achieve its objective through allocations to the alternatives, commodities, currency, equity, fixed income, real estate and volatility asset classes. Given the rules-based nature of this process, there is no subjectivity involved in asset allocation decisions.
Over the reporting period, the ETF devoted a consistently outsize allocation to fixed income. Such positioning, particularly with its exposures to floating rate debt, contributed positively to performance, as interest rates rose to their highest levels in decades. Equities and alternatives received the next largest allocations, followed by modest positions in currencies, commodities, real estate, and volatility. Equities, alternatives, currencies and commodities all contributed positively to performance, while real estate and volatility detracted slightly. Equities were particularly aided by allocations to U.S. financials and emerging-markets small caps, while alternatives were boosted by derivative income exposure. U.S. dollar positioning fueled positive contributions to returns as the U.S. dollar rallied against most other currencies, while broad commodity exposure contributed positively as well. Subdued volatility and restrictive interest rates impinged on the volatility and real estate asset classes and, consequently, detracted from ETF performance.
How did the ETF’s allocations change over the course of the reporting period?
While the ETF consistently devoted its largest allocation to fixed income, it gradually pared its exposure as interest rate hikes paused, prospects for a soft-landing brightened and expectations for rate cuts grew. With an improving economic outlook, the reduced allocation to fixed income was redirected to more growth-oriented asset classes of equities, alternatives, and currencies, while volatility, real estate, and commodities exposures were trimmed.
Repositioning to low duration fixed income served the portfolio well, as interest rates remained high and economic growth persisted. Allocations to more growth-centered equities similarly aided performance as the economy continued to expand above expectations and sentiment improved. Results were also buoyed by allocations to alternatives, particularly derivative income, which provided ballast as a low beta, low correlation source of returns. Lastly, increased allocation to the U.S. dollar within the currency asset class bolstered performance as U.S. growth and stability outpaced the global economy. Conversely, muted volatility and restrictive borrowing conditions undermined returns from the ETF’s volatility and real estate allocations.
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 ETF’s best performers during the reporting period were Invesco Global Listed Private Equity ETF (“PSP”) and Vanguard Financials ETF (“VFH”). PSP tracks the Red Rocks Global Listed Private Equity Index, which holds 40−75 publicly listed U.S. and international private equity firms or companies whose principal business is to invest in, lend capital to or provide services to privately held companies. VFH seeks to track the performance of the MSCI USA Investable Market Financials Index by investing all of its assets in the stocks that make up the Index and holding each stock in the same proportion as its weighting in the Index.
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued)
The holdings with the lowest total returns were iPath® Series B S&P 500® VIX Short-Term Futures ETN™ (“VXX”) and United States Natural Gas Fund® LP (“UNG”). VXX, an exchange-traded note, provides investors with a cash payment at the scheduled maturity or early redemption, based on the performance of the underlying index, the S&P 500® Short-Term VIX futures TR Index. UNG, a Delaware limited partnership, seeks to mirror the percentage changes in the net asset value of its units with the fluctuations in natural gas prices delivered to Henry Hub, Louisiana. The limited partnership measures these changes by tracking the percentage shifts in the price of natural gas futures contracts traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Which Underlying ETFs were the strongest contributors to the ETF’s performance and which Underlying ETFs were particularly weak?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the strongest contributors to the ETF’s absolute performance during the reporting period were SPDR® S&P® Emerging Markets Small Cap ETF (“EWX”) and SPDR® Blackstone Senior Loan ETF (“SRLN”). EWX tracks the performance of the S&P® Emerging Markets Under USD2 Billion Index. The ETF holds small-cap stocks from emerging markets, weighting the holdings using a market capitalization methodology and rebalancing quarterly. SRLN seeks to outperform the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index and the Morningstar LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index by actively investing primarily in senior loans, specifically first lien senior secured floating rate bank loans.
The weakest contributors to the ETF’s absolute performance were VXX, described above, and iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (“IJH”). IJH tracks the performance of the S&P MidCap 400® Index. The ETF uses a representative sampling strategy to track the Index, using a market capitalization methodology to weight holdings, which are rebalanced quarterly.
What were the largest positions in the ETF at the end of the reporting period?
As of April 30, 2024, the ETF’s largest long positions included iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF (“FLOT”) and SPDR® Bloomberg Convertible Securities ETF (“CWB”). FLOT seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg US Floating Rate Note < 5 Years Index. CWB seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the total return performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Convertibles Liquid Bond Index. As of the same date, the ETF was most negatively positioned with its investments in AGF U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund (“BTAL”) and SPDR® Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (“BIL”). BTAL seeks daily investment results that closely correspond to the Dow Jones US Thematic Market Neutral Anti-Beta Total Return Index. The Index holds long positions in low-beta stocks and short positions in high-beta stocks. BIL seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued)
IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF
How did IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2024?
The IQ Merger Arbitrage Index, the ETF’s Underlying Index, seeks to achieve capital appreciation by investing in global companies for which there has been a public announcement of a takeover by an acquirer. This differentiated approach is based on a passive strategy of owning certain announced takeover targets with the goal of generating returns that are representative of global merger arbitrage activity. The Index also includes short exposure to global equities as a partial equity market hedge.
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF returned −1.25% at NAV (net asset value) and −1.42% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, the IQ Merger Arbitrage Index2 returned −0.32% for the reporting period. The MSCI World Index (Net),2 S&P 500® Index (Net)2 and Barclay Merger Arbitrage Index2 returned 18.39%, 22.09% and 5.34%, respectively, for the reporting period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
Stubborn inflation, and efforts by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to tame it through monetary policy, exerted an outsized influence over market conditions during the reporting period. While inflation cooled considerably from its high of 9.1.% in June 2022, it remained persistently above the Fed’s target and exhibited signs of resurgence in the opening months of 2024. Consequently, interest rates stayed elevated, rising to a range of 5.25%−5.50% at the Fed’s July 2023 meeting, and remained at that level through the end of the reporting period.

Taken together, the above crosscurrents weighed appreciably on key asset class performance drivers, particularly global trade activity, earnings outlooks, interest-rate levels, credit spreads, commodity prices, currency volatility and market sentiment.
Heightened regulatory scrutiny and higher cost of capital cast a chill on dealmaking over the reporting period, creating inhospitable conditions for merger arbitrage activity. With these headwinds, the ETF lagged the market and its Underlying Index.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued)
During the reporting period, which sectors made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s performance and which sectors made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, the sectors that provided the strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s performance relative to its Underlying Index were energy and health care. The sectors providing the weakest contributions to the ETF’s relative performance were financials and consumer discretionary.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks made the strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance and which stocks detracted the most?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the stocks that made the strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance during the reporting period included WestRock and Seagen. WestRock provides corrugated packaging solutions, including merchandising displays, paperboard, folding cartons, kraft papers, protective packaging and pulp. Biotechnology company Seagen discovers and develops monoclonal antibody-based drugs to treat cancer and related diseases, as well as offering antibody-drug conjugate technology designed to deliver cell-killing agents directly to tumor cells.
During the same period, the weakest contributors to the ETF’s absolute performance were Capri Holdings and United States Steel. Capri retails apparel, including women’s and men’s luxury accessories, footwear, apparel, watches, jewelry, eyewear and fragrance products, as well as providing delivery services. United States Steel manufactures flat-rolled and tubular steel products, with production operations in North America and Europe. The company serves the automotive, appliance, container, industrial machinery, construction, and oil and gas industries.
How did the ETF’s sector weightings change during the reporting period?
The sectors experiencing the largest weighting increases in the ETF during the reporting period were energy and materials. During the same period, the sectors with the most substantial weighting decreases were industrials and consumer staples.
What were the largest positions in the ETF at the end of the reporting period?
As of April 30, 2024, the largest positions in the ETF were Hess and Pioneer Natural Resources. Hess, an independent global energy company, focuses on the exploration, development, production, transportation, purchase, and sale of crude oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas. Pioneer, an independent oil and gas exploration and production company, engages in onshore oil and gas drilling, exploration and production in the United States.

IQ 500 International ETF
How did IQ 500 International ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2024?
The IQ 500 International Index, the ETF’s Underlying Index, identifies international companies that enjoy a strong global footprint and, at the same time, are able to maintain their long-term competitive positioning. The combination of these factors results in companies that are poised to continue driving improved operational performance and sustainable, long-term equity appreciation with low volatility and turnover.
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), IQ 500 International ETF returned 10.49% at NAV (net asset value) and 9.42% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, the IQ 500 International Index2 returned 10.92% for the reporting period. The MSCI EAFE Index (Net)2 returned 9.28% for the reporting period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
Stubborn inflation, and efforts by central banks to tame it through the use of monetary policy, exerted an outsized influence over market conditions during the reporting period. While inflation cooled considerably from peak levels reached in 2022, it remained persistently above target across global advanced economies. Consequently, interest rates rose to decade highs and remained elevated through the end of the reporting period.
While the path of inflation and monetary policy decisions and expectations played a dominant role, other factors also wielded significant influence over market conditions. Resilient consumer spending, durable corporate earnings, labor market expansion and productivity gains, supportive fiscal policy, and the emergence and diffusion of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology were among the key contributors that led to surprisingly steady economic growth. Against this backdrop of resilient growth, equity markets surged to record highs and remained near record territory as of the close of the reporting period.
On the risk front, in addition to persistent inflation and tight borrowing costs, sharpening geopolitical fragmentation and armed conflicts—including the continuation of the war in Ukraine and outbreak of war in Israel—injected substantial volatility into equity markets and weighed heavily on government spending decisions, international relations, commodities markets and global supply chains. Euro-area economies were particularly bedeviled by energy, food, and other supply shocks due to their closer proximity to conflicts in the Ukraine and Middle East and deeper reliance on regional supply chains in these areas. Splintering international relations, deteriorating global trade flows, and commodity price shocks similarly impinged on Japan and developed Asia-Pacific economies.
Potential spill-over effects from the U.S., with its role as a global bellwether economy, was another crucial risk factor. Although a recession or economic slowdown did not materialize as anticipated, heightened borrowing costs weighed on market sentiment throughout the reporting period. While a repeat of the March 2023 U.S. regional banking crisis did not occur, concerns abounded over the latent impact of restrictive borrowing costs and the possibility that more areas of stress could emerge. Potentially vulnerable areas—such as commercial real estate (notably the office sector) and heavily exposed regional banks—were monitored with increasing alarm. Attention sharpened on other worrying developments as well, such as rising credit card and auto-delinquencies, along with looming debt maturations and refinancing needs for smaller companies reliant on short-term and/or floating-rate debt.
Taken together, the above crosscurrents weighed appreciably on key asset class performance drivers, particularly global trade activity, earnings outlooks, interest-rate levels, credit spreads, commodity prices, currency volatility and market sentiment.

IQ Candriam International Equity ETF
How did IQ Candriam International Equity ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2024?
The IQ Candriam International Equity Index, the ETF’s Underlying Index, is a broad-based, market-cap weighted index that consists of the top-rated international ESG (environmental, social and governance) companies based on Candriam’s ESG criteria. Candriam’s ESG criteria seeks to identify companies that operate in a sustainable and responsible manner.
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), IQ Candriam International Equity ETF returned 9.34% at NAV (net asset value) and 8.03% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, IQ Candriam International Equity Index2 returned 9.71% for the reporting period. The MSCI EAFE Index (Net)2 returned 9.28% for the reporting period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
Stubborn inflation, and efforts by central banks to tame it through the use of monetary policy, exerted an outsized influence over market conditions during the reporting period. While inflation cooled considerably from peak levels reached in 2022, it remained persistently above target across global advanced economies. Consequently, interest rates rose to decade highs and remained elevated through the end of the reporting period.
While the path of inflation and monetary policy decisions and expectations played a dominant role, other factors also wielded significant influence over market conditions. Resilient consumer spending, durable corporate earnings, labor market expansion and productivity gains, supportive fiscal policy, and the emergence and diffusion of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology were among the key contributors that led to surprisingly steady economic growth. Against this backdrop of resilient growth, equity markets surged to record highs and remained near record territory as of the close of the reporting period.
On the risk front, in addition to persistent inflation and tight borrowing costs, sharpening geopolitical fragmentation and armed conflicts—including the continuation of the war in Ukraine and outbreak of war in Israel—injected substantial volatility into equity markets and weighed heavily on government spending decisions, international relations, commodities markets and global supply chains.

IQ Candriam U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF
How did IQ Candriam U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2024?
The IQ Candriam U.S. Mid Cap Equity Index, the ETF’s Underlying Index, is a broad-based, market-cap weighted index that consists of the top-rated U.S. Mid Cap ESG (environmental, social and governance) companies based on Candriam’s ESG criteria. Candriam’s ESG criteria seeks to identify companies that operate in a sustainable and responsible manner.
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), IQ Candriam U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF returned 12.72% at NAV (net asset value) and 12.69% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, the IQ Candriam U.S. Mid Cap Equity Index,2 and the Russell Midcap Index returned 12.94% and 16.35%, respectively, for the reporting period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
Stubborn inflation, and efforts by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to tame it through monetary policy, exerted an outsized influence over market conditions during the reporting period. While inflation cooled considerably from its high of 9.1.% in June 2022, it remained persistently above the Fed’s target and exhibited signs of resurgence in the opening months of 2024. Consequently, interest rates stayed elevated, rising to a range of 5.25%−5.50% at the Fed’s July 2023 meeting and remained at that level through the end of the reporting period.
Although a recession or economic slowdown did not materialize as anticipated, heightened borrowing costs weighed on market sentiment throughout the reporting period. While a repeat of the March 2023 regional banking crisis did not occur, concerns abounded over the latent impact of restrictive borrowing costs and the possibility that more areas of stress could emerge. Potentially vulnerable areas—such as commercial real estate (notably the office sector) and heavily exposed regional banks—were monitored with increasing alarm.

Resilient consumer spending, durable corporate earnings, labor market expansion and productivity gains, supportive fiscal policy, and the emergence and diffusion of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology were among the key contributors that led to surprisingly steady economic growth. Against this backdrop of resilient growth, equity markets surged to record highs and remained near record territory as of the close of the reporting period.
On the risk front, in addition to persistent inflation and tight borrowing costs, sharpening geopolitical fragmentation and armed conflicts—including the continuation of the war in Ukraine and outbreak of war in Israel—injected substantial volatility into equity markets and weighed heavily on government spending decisions, international relations, commodities markets and global supply chains.
Taken together, the above crosscurrents weighed appreciably on key asset class performance drivers, particularly global trade activity, earnings outlooks, interest-rate levels, credit spreads, commodity prices, currency volatility and market sentiment.
Amid this environment, the ETF underperformed its Underlying Index, primarily due to allocation and selection effects in the information technology, financials and industrials sectors.

The sectors that made the weakest contributions to the ETF’s relative performance were information technology and financials.

Deckers designs and markets footwear for men, women and children, and accessories such as handbags, headwear and outerwear. Williams-Sonoma sells cooking and serving equipment, home furnishings, and home accessories through retail stores, mail order catalogs and e-commerce.

For the 12 months ended April 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), IQ Candriam U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF returned 21.01% at NAV (net asset value) and 20.99% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, IQ Candriam U.S. Large Cap Equity Index2 returned 21.15% for the reporting period. The S&P 500® Index2 returned 22.66% for the reporting period.

Against this backdrop of resilient growth, equity markets surged to record highs and remained near record territory as of the close of the reporting period.
On the risk front, in addition to persistent inflation and tight borrowing costs, top-heavy market leadership from a select group of seven companies at the forefront of generative AI innovations, commonly referred to as the Magnificent 7, raised concentration concerns. Additionally, sharpening geopolitical fragmentation and armed conflicts—including the continuation of the war in Ukraine and outbreak of war in Israel—injected substantial volatility into equity markets and weighed heavily on government spending decisions, international relations, commodities markets and global supply chains.
Taken together, the above crosscurrents weighed appreciably on key asset class performance drivers, particularly global trade activity, earnings outlooks, interest-rate levels, credit spreads, commodity prices, currency volatility and market sentiment.
Amid this environment, the ETF modestly underperformed its Underlying Index, primarily due to slightly underweight exposure to surging Magnificent 7 stocks.

Stubborn inflation, and efforts by monetary policy to tame it, exerted an outsized influence over market conditions during the reporting period. While inflation cooled considerably from its high of 9.1.% in June 2022, it remained persistently above the target set by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and exhibited signs of resurgence in the opening months of 2024. Consequently, interest rates stayed elevated, rising to a range of 5.25%−5.50% at the Fed’s July 2023 meeting, and remained at that level through the end of the reporting period.
Although a recession or economic slowdown did not materialize as anticipated, heightened borrowing costs weighed on market sentiment throughout the reporting period. While a repeat of the March 2023 regional banking crisis did not occur, concerns abounded over the latent impact of restrictive borrowing costs and the possibility that more areas of stress could emerge. Potentially vulnerable areas—such as commercial real estate, notably the office sector, and heavily exposed regional banks—were monitored with increasing alarm. Attention sharpened on other worrying developments as well, such as rising credit card and auto-delinquencies, along with looming debt maturations and refinancing needs for smaller companies reliant on short-term and/or floating-rate debt.
While the path of inflation and monetary policy decisions and expectations played a dominant role, other factors also wielded significant influence over market conditions. Resilient consumer spending, durable corporate earnings, labor market expansion and productivity gains, supportive fiscal policy, and the emergence and diffusion of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology were among the key contributors that led to surprisingly steady economic growth. Against this backdrop of resilient growth, equity markets surged to record highs and remained near record territory as of the close of the reporting period.
On the risk front, in addition to persistent inflation and tight borrowing costs, sharpening geopolitical fragmentation and armed conflicts—including the continuation of the war in Ukraine and outbreak of war in Israel—injected substantial volatility into equity markets and weighed heavily on government spending decisions, international relations, commodities markets and global supply chains.
Taken together, the above crosscurrents weighed appreciably on key asset-class performance drivers, particularly global trade activity, earnings outlooks, interest-rate levels, credit spreads, commodity prices, currency volatility and market sentiment.
Tight borrowing conditions continued to weigh on the real estate sector during the reporting period, as a hoped-for dovish pivot from the Fed failed to materialize.
Amid this environment, the ETF underperformed its benchmark, particularly dragged down by selection effects within the industrial sector.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued)
During the reporting period, which subsectors made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s performance and which subsectors made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, the subsectors that made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance were data center and health care. The subsectors that made the weakest contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance were industrial and tower infrastructure.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks made the strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance and which stocks detracted the most?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the stocks that made the strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance during the reporting period included Uniti Group and Digital Realty Trust. Uniti, a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), provides wireless infrastructure solutions for communications industry. Digital Realty Trust owns, acquires, repositions and manages technology-related real estate. The company’s properties contain applications and operations critical to the day-to-day operations of technology industry tenants and corporate enterprise data center tenants.
The weakest contributors to the ETF’s absolute performance during the same period were SBA Communications and Crown Castle. SBA owns and operates wireless communications infrastructure in the United States. The company offers site leasing and development, construction and consulting services. SBA also leases antenna space on its multi-tenant towers to a variety of wireless service providers under long-term lease contracts. Crown Castle, a REIT, owns, operates and leases towers and other infrastructure for wireless communications. The company manages and offers wireless communication coverage and infrastructure sites in the United States and Australia.
How did the ETF’s subsector weightings change during the reporting period?
The subsectors experiencing the largest weighting increases in the ETF during the reporting period were health care and data center. The two sectors with the largest weighting decreases were tower infrastructure and industrial.
What were the largest positions in the ETF at the end of the reporting period?
As of April 30, 2024, the largest positions in the ETF included Keppel DC REIT and Uniti Group, the latter of which is described above. Keppel DC is Asia’s first pure-play data center REIT listed on the Singapore Exchange. The company principally invests, directly or indirectly, in a diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate assets, which are used primarily for data center purposes.

IQ FTSE International Equity Currency Neutral ETF
How did IQ FTSE International Equity Currency Neutral ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2024?
The FTSE Developed ex North America 50% Hedged to USD Net Tax (US RIC) Index, the ETF’s Underlying Index, is an equity benchmark of international stocks from developed markets, with approximately half of the currency exposure of the securities included in the Index “hedged” against the U.S. dollar on a monthly basis.
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), IQ FTSE International Equity Currency Neutral ETF returned 14.16% at NAV (net asset value) and 13.01% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, the FTSE Developed ex North America 50% Hedged to USD Net Tax (US RIC) Index2 returned 14.42% for the reporting period. The FTSE Developed ex North America 100% Hedged to USD Net Tax (US RIC) Index2 and FTSE Developed ex North America Index Net Tax (US RIC) Index2 returned 19.21% and 9.69%, respectively, for the reporting period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
Stubborn inflation, and efforts by central banks to tame it through the use of monetary policy, exerted an outsized influence over market conditions during the reporting period. While inflation cooled considerably from peak levels reached in 2022, it remained persistently above target across global advanced economies. Consequently, interest rates rose to decade highs and remained elevated through the end of the reporting period.
While the path of inflation and monetary policy decisions and expectations played a dominant role, other factors also wielded significant influence over market conditions. Resilient consumer spending, durable corporate earnings, labor market expansion and productivity gains, supportive fiscal policy, and the emergence and diffusion of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology were among the key contributors that led to surprisingly steady economic growth. Against this backdrop of resilient growth, equity markets surged to record highs and remained near record territory as of the close of the reporting period.
On the risk front, in addition to persistent inflation and tight borrowing costs, sharpening geopolitical fragmentation and armed conflicts—including the continuation of the war in Ukraine and outbreak of war in Israel—injected substantial volatility into equity markets and weighed heavily on government spending decisions, international relations, commodities markets and global supply chains. Euro-area economies were particularly bedeviled by energy, food, and other supply shocks due to their closer proximity to conflicts in the Ukraine and Middle East and deeper reliance on regional supply chains in these areas. Splintering international relations, deteriorating global trade flows, and commodity price shocks similarly impinged on Japan and developed Asia-Pacific economies.
Potential spill-over effects from the U.S., with its role as a global bellwether economy, was another crucial risk factor. Although a recession or economic slowdown did not materialize as anticipated, heightened borrowing costs weighed on market sentiment throughout the reporting period. While a repeat of the March 2023 U.S. regional banking crisis did not occur, concerns abounded over the latent impact of restrictive borrowing costs and the possibility that more areas of stress could emerge. Potentially vulnerable areas—such as commercial real estate (notably the office sector) and heavily exposed regional banks—were monitored with increasing alarm. Attention sharpened on other worrying developments as well, such as rising credit card and auto-delinquencies, along with looming debt maturations and refinancing needs for smaller companies reliant on short-term and/or floating-rate debt.
Taken together, the above crosscurrents weighed appreciably on key asset class performance drivers, particularly global trade activity, earnings outlooks, interest-rate levels, credit spreads, commodity prices, currency volatility and market sentiment.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued)
While volatility abounded around changing global rate gaps and interest rate expectations, sustained dollar strength was the overarching currency market theme over the reporting period. As persistently high U.S. interest rates and economic growth fueled dollar appreciation against major foreign currencies, the environment proved conducive for currency hedging strategies.
With dollar strength and currency volatility running high, the ETF delivered on its currency-neutral approach, outperforming its unhedged benchmark and underperforming on a fully hedged basis.
During the reporting period, how was the ETF’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
As dollar strength reigned, the Underlying Index’s currency hedge enhanced performance, returning 4.44% over the reporting period.
During the reporting period, which sectors made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s 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 contributions to the ETF’s performance relative to its Underlying Index were information technology and consumer discretionary. The sectors that made the weakest contributions to the ETF’s relative performance were materials and energy.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks made the strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance and which stocks detracted the most?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the stocks that made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance during the reporting period included Novo Nordisk and Toyota Motor. Novo Nordisk develops, produces and markets pharmaceutical products. The company focuses on diabetes care and offers insulin delivery systems and other diabetes products. Novo Nordisk also works in areas such as hemostasis management, growth disorders and hormone replacement therapy. Toyota manufactures, sells, leases and repairs passenger cars, trucks, buses and their related parts worldwide. The company also operates financing services through their subsidiaries. In addition, Toyota builds homes, produces pleasure boats, and develops intelligent transportation systems, including radar cruise control and electronic toll collection systems.
The weakest contributors to the ETF’s absolute performance were Nestlé and Roche Holding. Multinational packaged food company Nestlé manufactures and markets a wide range of food products. The company’s product line includes milk, chocolate, confectionery, bottled water, coffee, creamer, food seasoning and pet foods. Pharmaceutical and diagnostics products company Roche produces prescription drugs in the areas of cardiovascular, infectious, autoimmune, respiratory, dermatology, metabolic, oncology, transplantation and the central nervous system.
How did the ETF’s sector weightings change during the reporting period?
The sectors experiencing the largest weighting increases in the ETF during the reporting period were financials and materials. During the same period, the sectors with the most substantial weighting decreases were consumer staples and information technology.
What were the largest positions in the ETF at the end of the reporting period?
As of April 30, 2024, the two largest positions in the ETF were Nestlé and Novo Nordisk, both of which are described above.

IQ U.S. Large Cap R&D Leaders ETF
How did IQ U.S. Large Cap R&D Leaders ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2024?
The IQ U.S. Large Cap R&D Leaders Index, the ETF’s Underlying Index, seeks to provide exposure to highly innovative companies through the selection of equities in the U.S. large cap universe with the highest R&D (research and development) spending in the past year. Companies with high R&D spending are investing for future growth in their business and may enjoy strong, long-term competitive positioning.
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), IQ U.S. Large Cap R&D Leaders ETF returned 30.90% at NAV (net asset value) and 30.92% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, the IQ U.S. Large Cap R&D Leaders Index,2 and the Russell 1000 Growth Index2 returned 30.98% and 31.80%, respectively, for the reporting period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
Stubborn inflation, and efforts by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to tame it through monetary policy, exerted an outsized influence over market conditions during the reporting period. While inflation cooled considerably from its high of 9.1.% in June 2022, it remained persistently above the Fed’s target and exhibited signs of resurgence in the opening months of 2024. Consequently, interest rates stayed elevated, rising to a range of 5.25%−5.50% at the Fed’s July 2023 meeting, and remained at that level through the end of the reporting period.

Against this backdrop of resilient growth, equity markets surged to record highs and remained near record territory as of the close of the reporting period.
On the risk front, in addition to persistent inflation and tight borrowing costs, top-heavy market leadership from a select group of seven companies at the forefront of generative AI innovations, commonly referred to as the Magnificent 7, raised concentration concerns. Additionally, sharpening geopolitical fragmentation and armed conflicts—including the continuation of the war in Ukraine and outbreak of war in Israel—injected substantial volatility into equity markets and weighed heavily on government spending decisions, international relations, commodities markets and global supply chains.
Taken together, the above crosscurrents weighed appreciably on key asset class performance drivers, particularly global trade activity, earnings outlooks, interest-rate levels, credit spreads, commodity prices, currency volatility and market sentiment.
Over the reporting period, the advent and enthusiastic embrace of generative AI spurred a technological arms race that drove R&D spending to record levels. With this tailwind, the ETF delivered strong total returns, while narrowly underperforming its Underlying Index due to underweight exposure to surging Magnificent 7 stocks.

IQ Clean Oceans ETF
How did IQ Clean Oceans ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2024?
The IQ Candriam Clean Oceans Index, the ETF’s Underlying Index, seeks to track companies that help to protect and/or achieve cleaner oceans through reduced pollution and increased resource efficiency.
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), IQ Clean Oceans ETF returned 5.77% at NAV (net asset value) and 5.23% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, the IQ Candriam Clean Oceans Index,2 and the MSCI World Index2 returned 6.47% and 18.39, respectively, for the reporting period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
Stubborn inflation, and efforts by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to tame it through monetary policy, exerted an outsized influence over market conditions during the reporting period. While inflation cooled considerably from its high of 9.1.% in June 2022, it remained persistently above the Fed’s target and exhibited signs of resurgence in the opening months of 2024. Consequently, interest rates stayed elevated, rising to a range of 5.25%−5.50% at the Fed’s July 2023 meeting and remained at that level through the end of the reporting period.
Although a recession or economic slowdown did not materialize as anticipated, heightened borrowing costs weighed on market sentiment throughout the reporting period. While a repeat of the March 2023 regional banking crisis did not occur, concerns abounded over the latent impact of restrictive borrowing costs and the possibility that more areas of stress could emerge. Potentially vulnerable areas—such as commercial real estate (notably the office sector) and heavily exposed regional banks—were monitored with increasing alarm. Attention sharpened on other worrying developments as well, such as rising credit card and auto-delinquencies, along with looming debt maturations and refinancing needs for smaller companies reliant on short-term and/or floating-rate debt.
While the path of inflation and monetary policy decisions and expectations played a dominant role, other factors also wielded significant influence over market conditions. Resilient consumer spending, durable corporate earnings, labor market expansion and productivity gains, supportive fiscal policy, and the emergence and diffusion of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology were among the key contributors that led to surprisingly steady economic growth. Against this backdrop of resilient growth, equity markets surged to record highs and remained near record territory as of the close of the reporting period.
On the risk front, in addition to persistent inflation and tight borrowing costs, top-heavy market leadership from a select group of seven companies at the forefront of generative AI innovations, commonly referred to as the Magnificent 7, raised concentration concerns. Additionally, sharpening geopolitical fragmentation and armed conflicts—including the continuation of the war in Ukraine and outbreak of war in Israel—injected substantial volatility into equity markets and weighed heavily on government spending decisions, international relations, commodities markets and global supply chains.
Taken together, the above crosscurrents weighed appreciably on key asset class performance drivers, particularly clean transportation sentiment and investment, global trade activity, earnings outlooks, interest-rate levels, credit spreads, commodity prices, currency volatility and market sentiment.
Amid this environment, the ETF underperformed its Underlying Index on a relative basis, primarily due to underweight exposures to surging Magnificent 7 stocks.

IQ Cleaner Transport ETF
How did IQ Cleaner Transport ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2024?
The IQ Candriam Cleaner Transport Index, the ETF’s Benchmark Index, is a rules-based, modified capitalization weighted, float-adjusted index. Developed in alignment with the National Wildlife Federation (“NWF”), the largest conservation organization in the United States, the ETF provides exposure to select global companies that support the transition to more environmentally efficient transportation technologies, such as electric vehicles, bicycles, motor vehicle parts manufacturers and multi-passenger transportation.
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), IQ Cleaner Transport ETF returned 12.74% at NAV (net asset value) and 12.25% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, the IQ Candriam Cleaner Transport Index,2 and the MSCI World Index (Net)2 returned 13.56% and 18.39%, respectively, for the reporting period.

Against this backdrop of resilient growth, equity markets surged to record highs and remained near record territory as of the close of the reporting period.
Additionally, the fiscal backdrop remained supportive. A deepening commitment by governments, through policy incentives and investment outlays, to increase domestic productive capacity, onshore critical technologies, and accelerate the clean energy transition, served as key tailwinds for companies in the ETF’s clean transportation sector.
On the risk front, in addition to persistent inflation and tight borrowing costs, top-heavy market leadership from a select group of seven companies at the forefront generative AI innovations, commonly referred to as the Magnificent 7 raised concentration concerns. Additionally, sharpening geopolitical fragmentation and armed conflicts—including the continuation of the war in Ukraine and outbreak of war in Israel—injected substantial volatility into equity markets and weighed heavily on government spending decisions, international relations, commodities markets, and global supply chains. Increasing protectionism, supply chain disruptions, and commodity volatility were particularly pertinent to the ETF’s clean transportation sector.

2The price used to calculate the Market Price returns is the mean between the day’s last bid and ask prices. The market price returns do not represent returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times.
3The IQ Candriam Healthy Hearts Index is the underlying index of ETF. The IQ Candriam Healthy Hearts Index seeks to provide investors with exposure to select companies that are involved in the diagnosis and/or treatment of heart disease, or that provide goods or services that allow people to adopt or maintain a healthy lifestyle. The MSCI ACWI Index (Net) is an unmanaged free-float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted index designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The MSCI World Health Care Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets in the health-care sector.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. Performance figures may reflect certain fee waivers and/or expense limitations, without which total returns may have been lower.
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 a 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 During the Period 11/01/23 to 04/30/24” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. To the extent a Fund invests in other ETFs, that Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying ETF investments in which each such 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 a 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. To the extent a Fund invests in other ETFs, that Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying fund investments in which the Fund invests. 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 Accounting 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.
Use of Estimates
IndexIQ Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) 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 and warranties that may provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. 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. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. The Advisor believes that the risk of loss in connection with these potential indemnification obligations is remote. However, there can be no assurance that material liabilities related to such obligations will not arise in the future, which could adversely impact the Funds.
Investment Valuation
Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time) on each day the Fund’s listed exchange is open for trading. The NAV of the shares of each Fund will be equal to each Fund’s total assets minus each 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. The consideration for purchase of a Creation Unit of shares of each Fund generally consists of a basket of securities and/or cash that the Fund specifies each day.
Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) designated the Advisor as its Valuation Designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Valuation Designee is responsible for performing fair valuations relating to all investments in the Fund’s for which market quotations are not readily available; periodically assessing and managing material valuation risks; establishing and applying fair value methodologies; testing fair valuation methodologies; evaluating and overseeing pricing services; segregation of valuation and portfolio management functions; providing quarterly, annual and prompt reporting to the Board, as appropriate; identifying potential conflicts of interest; and maintaining appropriate records. The Fund’s and the Valuation Designee’s policies and procedures (“Valuation Procedures”) govern the Valuation Designee’s selection and application of methodologies for determining and calculating the fair value of Fund investments. The Valuation Designee may value Fund portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available and other Fund assets utilizing inputs from pricing services and other third-party sources.
In calculating NAV, each Fund’s investments are valued using market quotations when available. Equity securities are generally valued at the closing price of the security on the security’s primary exchange. The primary exchanges for a Fund’s foreign equity securities may close for trading at various times prior to close of regular trading on the NYSE Arca or Nasdaq, and the value of such securities used in computing a Fund’s NAV are generally determined as of such times.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2024
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, a swap will be valued using market-based prices provided by independent pricing sources or broker dealer bid quotations (i.e. counterparty).
Forward foreign currency contracts and currency-related derivatives, are generally valued by taking forward points of the contract and calculating an interpolated rate based on the forward currency rate as of the 4pm GMT London rate.
If a Fund invests in open-end management investment companies (other than ETFs) registered under the 1940 Act, such investments are generally valued using the investment company's NAV per share or public offering prices. Those companies may also use fair value pricing under some circumstances.
When market quotations or prices are not readily available or not representative of an investment’s fair value, investments are valued using fair value pricing as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Procedures state that, subject to the oversight of the Board and unless otherwise noted, the responsibility for the day-to-day valuation of portfolio assets (including fair value measurements for the Funds’ assets and liabilities) rests with the Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee may conclude that a market quotation is not readily available or is unreliable if a security or other asset or liability does not have a price source due to its lack of liquidity or other reason, if a market quotation differs significantly from recent price quotations or otherwise no longer appears to reflect fair value, where the security or other asset or liability is thinly traded, or if the trading market on which a security is listed is suspended or closed and no appropriate alternative trading market is available. The frequency with which a Fund’s investments are valued using fair value pricing is primarily a function of the types of securities and other assets in which the Fund invests pursuant to its investment objective, strategies and limitations.
A Fund may sweep uninvested cash balances into the Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Government Money Market Fund — Institutional Shares (“Dreyfus Institutional Fund”). The Dreyfus Institutional Fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Institutional Fund has no redemption restriction and is valued at the daily NAV.
Under normal conditions, to the extent a Fund invests in securities lending, the Fund may invest its cash collateral in the Dreyfus Government Cash Management Fund, Institutional Shares (“Dreyfus Government Fund”). The Dreyfus Government Fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Government Fund 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 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.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2024
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 are 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, 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 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, 2024 is disclosed at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency Translation — Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included on the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
Foreign securities and instruments are 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.
Tax Information 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.
The Advisor 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. The Advisor 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
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2024
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.
The Funds have concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
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 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.
Foreign Taxes
The Funds may be subject to foreign withholding 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 expected and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. Whether or when a Fund will receive a withholding tax refund is subject to a determination by the tax authorities of each country in which the Fund has an open receivable. The Funds regularly evaluate the probability of recovering each accrued withholding tax. If the likelihood of recovery decreases accruals in the Funds’ net asset value for such refunds may be written down partially or in full, which will adversely affect the Funds’ net asset value.
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 Statements 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, 2024, if any, are reflected as part of net realized gain (loss) on the Statements 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 on the Statements of Operations. Transaction-based charges are generally assessed as a percentage of the transaction amount.
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.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2024
Investment Income and Expenses
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-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 at least annually in the form of dividends. Net investment income and capital gains are typically distributed to shareholders annually; except the IQ Candriam International Equity ETF, IQ Candriam U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF, IQ Candriam U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, IQ CBRE NextGen Real Estate ETF, IQ FTSE International Equity Currency Neutral ETF, IQ U.S. Large Cap R&D Leaders ETF, IQ Global Equity R&D Leaders ETF, IQ Clean Oceans ETF, IQ Cleaner Transport ETF, IQ Engender Equality ETF, and IQ Healthy Hearts ETF typically distribute income quarterly. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Distributions received from IQ CBRE NextGen Real Estate ETF investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of a REIT held by the fund. 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.
Discounts and premiums on securities purchased, other than Short-Term Investments, for the Funds are accreted and amortized, respectively, on the effective interest rate method over the life of the respective securities. Discounts and premiums on Short-Term Investments are accreted and amortized, respectively, on the straight-line method. The straight-line method approximates the effective interest method for Short-Term Investments. Income from payment-in-kind securities is accreted daily based on the effective interest method.
Restricted Cash
At April 30, 2024, certain Funds held restricted cash in connection with investments in certain-derivative securities. Restricted cash is held in a segregated account with the Funds’ custodian/counterparty broker and is reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities Lending
The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY 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, 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 fees paid by the borrowers of securities, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. Each Fund will continue to receive dividend and interest income on securities loaned, any gain or loss in the market price of securities on loan will be accounted for by each Fund. Lending portfolio securities could result in a 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 each 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, each Fund shall have, as to the collateral, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law. 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 each Fund’s obligation to return the full amount owed to such Borrower.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2024
In accordance with the securities lending agreement between the Funds and BNY Mellon, the Funds will be indemnified by BNY Mellon in the event of default of a third party Borrower.
The securities lending income earned by each Fund is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral are shown on a gross basis in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of April 30, 2024, the cash collateral consisted of an institutional money market fund and non-cash collateral consisted of U.S. Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, Separate Trading of Registered Interest (“STRIPs”) and Principal of Securities and U.S. Treasury Inflation Indexed Notes and Bonds with the following maturities:

The collateral amount presented is in excess of the securities on loan.
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 OTC derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms, netting and rights of offset provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a 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 on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis on 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, 2024, the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on total return swap contracts for the following Funds was zero, reflecting a reset date at period end based on the contractual agreements with Merrill Lynch

3. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Investment Advisory Agreement
The Advisor serves as the investment advisor to each series of the Trust and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company. Under an Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and the Trust 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 each Fund (including arranging for sub-advisory services, as applicable) subject to the supervision of the Board.
The Advisor also: (i) supervises all non-advisory operations of the Funds; (ii) provides personnel to perform such executive, administrative and clerical services as are reasonably necessary to provide effective administration of the Funds and the other series of the Trust; (iii) arranges for (a) the preparation of all required tax returns, (b) the preparation and submission of reports to existing shareholders, (c) the periodic updating of prospectuses and statements of additional information; and (d) the preparation of reports to be filed with the SEC and other regulatory authorities; (iv) maintains the records of the Funds and the other series of the Trust; and (v) provides office space and all necessary office equipment and services. The Funds reimburse the Advisor in an amount equal to a portion of the compensation of the Chief Compliance Officer attributable to each Fund.

Distribution (12b-1 Fees)
ALPS Distributors, Inc. serves as the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”) pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. NYLIFE Distributors LLC has entered into a Service Agreement with the Distributor to market the Funds. 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 respective 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.
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.
Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent
BNY 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, Custody Agreement and Transfer Agency Agreement. Pursuant to these agreements, BNY Mellon provides necessary administrative, custody, transfer agency, tax, accounting services and financial reporting for the maintenance and operations of the Trust and the Funds. Under the terms of the agreement, the Advisor pays the Funds’ Administrative, Custody and Transfer Agency fees. BNY Mellon is also responsible for maintaining the books and records and calculating the daily NAV of the Funds. BNY Mellon is a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a financial holding company.
4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Shares are created and redeemed on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of 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.

At April 30, 2024, 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 are as follows:

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 based on 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 rates 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 a change in net unrealized appreciation depreciation on 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 on the Statements of Operations.
When a Fund has an unrealized loss on a swap agreement, the Fund instructs 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.
The IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF, IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF and IQ 500 International used Total Return Swaps to replicate the performance of the Underlying 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.
Pursuant to documentation governing the Funds’ swap transactions with MLI and Morgan Stanley, MLI and Morgan Stanley have 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, MLI and Morgan Stanley may require the Funds to pay or receive a settlement amount in connection with the terminated swap transaction. The Funds utilized swaps to affect both long and short exposure to several asset classes and market segments, including, among others, real estate, domestic equity, international equity, emerging markets equities, investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate bonds, convertible bonds, preferred securities, emerging market-debt, mortgage-backed securities, floating rate notes, developed markets currencies, broad commodity indices, precious metals, equity market volatility, and U.S. Treasury bonds. As of April 30, 2024, 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. As of April 30, 2024, open swap transactions, if any, are listed at the end of the Funds’ respective Schedule of Investments.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The IQ FTSE International Equity Currency Neutral ETF may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes, to seek to protect against anticipated changes in future foreign currency exchange rates. A forward foreign currency 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. A non-deliverable forward currency contract does not require physical delivery
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2024
of the underlying currencies and the contract is settled based on the difference between the contracted price and the prevailing spot price of the agreed upon notional amount. These contracts are traded in the interbank market between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. A forward foreign currency 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 foreign currency contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have matured or were sold. At April 30, 2024, open forward foreign currency contracts, if any, are listed at the end of the Funds’ respective Schedule of Investments.
Quantitative Disclosure of Derivative Holding
The following tables show additional disclosures related to each Fund’s derivative and holding activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect in each Fund’s financial positions, performance and cash flows.
The fair value of derivative instruments reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities were as follows:

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.
Counterparty Risk
Many of the protections afforded to participants on some organized exchanges, such as the performance guarantee of an exchange clearing house, are not available in connection with OTC derivatives transactions. In those instances, an underlying ETP utilizing such deliverables will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and that the underlying ETP will sustain losses.
Currency Hedging Risk1
A Fund may use 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.
Currency Risk
Certain Funds will invest in securities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars (foreign currencies). Therefore, while much of the income received by a Fund may be denominated in foreign currency, 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 a 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.
Derivatives Risk
Derivative strategies may expose a Fund to greater risk than if it had invested directly in the underlying instrument and often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing a Fund to lose more money than it originally invested and would have lost had it invested directly in the underlying instrument. Futures and other derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value. Derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable to honor its contractual obligations to the Fund. Derivatives may be more volatile than direct investments in the instrument underlying the contract and may not correlate perfectly to the underlying instrument. Futures and other derivatives also may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed, which could result

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2024
in losses greater than if they had not been used. Due to fluctuations in the price of the underlying asset, a Fund may not be able to profitably exercise an option and may lose its entire investment in an option. Derivatives may also increase the expenses of a Fund.
Emerging Market Securities Risk
A Fund may invest in securities of issuers located in emerging countries. The risks of foreign investment are heightened when the issuer is located in an emerging country. Emerging countries are generally located in the Asia and Pacific regions, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central and South America and Africa. The securities markets of emerging countries are less liquid, are especially subject to greater price volatility, have smaller market capitalizations, have less government regulation and are not subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements as the securities markets of more developed countries.
ESG Investing Style Risk2
The application of environmental, social and corporate governance investing criteria may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain sectors or types of investments and may impact the Fund’s relative investment performance depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market. In addition, there is no guarantee that the construction methodology of the Underlying Index will accurately provide exposure to issuers meeting environmental, social and corporate governance criteria.
Fund of Funds Risk3
If a Fund is a “fund of funds”, the Funds’ investment performance depends on the investment performance of the underlying ETFs in which it invests. 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 of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Index Risk
The Funds’ Underlying Indexes and the Funds rebalance only on a monthly, quarterly or annual 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.
Large Transaction Risks
From time to time, a Fund may receive large purchase or redemption orders from affiliated or unaffiliated funds or other investors. Such large transactions could have adverse effects on a Fund’s performance if the Fund were required to sell securities or invest cash at times when it otherwise would not do so. This activity could also accelerate the realization of capital gains and increase a Fund’s transaction costs.
Market Disruption Risk and Recent Market Events
Geopolitical and other events, including war, terrorism, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to disruptions in the U.S. and world economies and markets, which may increase financial market volatility and have significant adverse direct or indirect effects on a Fund and its investments. Market disruptions could cause a Fund to lose money, experience significant redemptions, and encounter operational difficulties. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by a market disruption, the duration and effects may not be the same for all types of assets.
Recent market disruption events include the pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, and the significant restrictions, market volatility, decreased economic and other activity and increased government activity that it has caused. While vaccines have been developed, there is no guarantee that vaccines will be effective against emerging future variants of the disease. As this global pandemic illustrated, such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2024
Ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. The hostilities and resulting sanctions have and could continue to have a significant impact on a Fund’s investments as well as Fund performance and liquidity. The economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as the financial markets generally, may be adversely impacted by trade disputes and other matters. Further, large corporations and U.S. and foreign governmental entities may divest interests or otherwise curtail business dealings in these countries. These events may result in a loss of liquidity and value of these countries’ securities and, in some cases, a complete inability to trade or settle trades in such securities.
Changing interest rate environments (whether downward or upward) impact the various sectors of the economy in different ways. For example, low interest rate environments tend to be a positive factor for the equity markets, whereas high interest rate environments tend to apply downward pressure on earnings and stock prices. Likewise, during periods when interest rates are increasing (rather than stagnant in a high or low interest rate environment), the price of fixed income investments tend to fall as investors begin to seek higher-yielding investments. Accordingly, a Fund is subject to heightened interest rate risk during periods of low interest rates. During rising interest rate environments, the Funds may be adversely affected, especially those Funds that are more susceptible to interest rate risk (e.g., those funds that hold fixed income investments or that invest in equity securities of issuers who are adversely affected by rising interest rates). As a means to fight inflation, which remains at elevated levels, the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have raised interest rates and may continue to do so. U.S. regulators have proposed several changes to market and issuer regulations which would directly impact a Fund, and any regulatory changes could adversely impact a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment strategies or make certain investments.
Recent and potential future bank failures could result in disruption to the broader banking industry or markets generally and reduce confidence in financial institutions and the economy as a whole, which may also heighten market volatility and reduce liquidity. Events in the financial sector may result in reduced liquidity in the credit, fixed-income and other financial markets and an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestically and internationally. Certain isolated events in a financial market may also result in systemic adverse consequences across broader segments of the financial markets (domestically, regionally, or globally) in unanticipated or unforeseen ways. Such events may result from unregulated markets, systemic risk, natural market forces, bad actors, or other unforeseen scenarios.
Passive Management Risk
Unlike many investment companies, each Fund seeks to track its Underlying Index and is not “actively” managed. Therefore, a fund would not generally sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble unless that security is removed from (or was no longer useful in tracking a component of) its Underlying Index.
Total Return Swap Risk4
Total return swaps give a Fund 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 a Fund has 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, a Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline (or, if an inverse swap, 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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (unaudited)
April 30, 2024
In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the funds of IndexIQ ETF Trust (the “Funds”) have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), which IndexIQ Advisors LLC believes is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) designated IndexIQ Advisors LLC as administrator of the Program (the “Administrator”). The Program Administrator’s Liquidity Risk Management Committee assists the Administrator in the implementation and day-to-day administration of the Program and to otherwise support the Administrator in fulfilling its responsibilities under the Program.
At a meeting of the Board held on March 28, 2024, the Administrator provided the Board with a written report addressing the Program’s operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”), as required under the Liquidity Rule. The report noted that the Administrator concluded that: (i) the Program operated effectively to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk; (ii) the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented to monitor and, as applicable, respond to the Funds’ liquidity developments; and (iii) each Fund’s investment strategy continues to be appropriate for an open-end fund.
In accordance with the Program, each Fund’s liquidity risk is assessed no less frequently than annually taking into consideration certain factors, as applicable, such as: (i) each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (ii) each Fund’s short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (iii) each Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources; (iv) the relationship between each Fund’s portfolio liquidity and the way in which, and the prices and spreads at which, Fund shares trade, including the efficiency of the arbitrage function and the level of active participation by market participants, including authorized participants; and (v) the effect of the composition of baskets on the overall liquidity of each Fund’s portfolio.
In compliance with the Liquidity Rule and in accordance with the Program, funds able to qualify as “In-Kind ETFs” are not required to: (i) classify each portfolio investment into one of four categories or (ii) establish a highly liquid investment minimum. The Liquidity Rule defines an In-Kind ETF as an ETF that meets redemptions through in-kind transfers of securities, positions, and assets other than a de minimis amount of cash and publishes its portfolio holdings daily. Each of the Funds, with the exceptions of IQ FTSE International Equity Currency ETF, IQ Cleaner Transport ETF, and IQ Global Equity R&D Leaders ETF, qualify as In-Kind ETFs.
IQ FTSE International Equity Currency ETF, IQ Cleaner Transport ETF, and IQ Global Equity R&D Leaders ETF, classify their portfolio investments into one of four liquidity categories. The classification is based on a determination of the number of days it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment into cash, or sell or dispose of the investment, in current market conditions without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Classification determinations are made by taking into account each Fund’s reasonably anticipated trade size, various market, trading, and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and, in certain cases, third-party vendor data.
The Liquidity Rule requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments and do not qualify as In-Kind ETFs to adopt a minimum amount of net assets that must be invested in highly liquid investments that are assets (“HLIM”). In addition, the Liquidity Rule limits a fund’s investments in illiquid investments. Specifically, the Liquidity Rule prohibits acquisition of illiquid investments if doing so would result in a fund holding more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments that are assets. The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to determine, periodically review, and comply with the HLIM requirement, as applicable, and to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments.
There were no material changes to the Program during the Reporting Period. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)
April 30, 2024
Approval Relating To Annual Continuation of the Advisory Agreement
The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) met by videoconference on March 28, 2024, pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Investment Management temporarily exempting fund boards from the in-person approval requirements of certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), in light of the impact of COVID-19 to consider the approval of the continuation, for an additional year, of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the series of the Trust for which the agreement applies (the “Funds”). The Board noted that the Advisory Agreement was between the Trust and IndexIQ Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”).
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Advisor relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds. In connection with considering approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees, met in executive session with counsel to the Independent Trustees, who provided assistance and advice. The consideration of 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 to the Funds and the fees charged by the Advisor; (2) information concerning the business and operations, compliance program and portfolio management teams of the Advisor; (3) the expense levels of each Fund; (4) the investment performance of the Funds; (5) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Trust, including expense limitation agreements and fee waiver agreements between the Advisor and certain Funds; (6) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows; (7) any “fall-out” benefits derived or to be derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Trust; and (8) potential conflicts of interest. The Board considered that the Funds were passively managed ETFs and that several of the Funds were designed to track indexes created by an affiliate of the Advisor.
In reviewing such factors, the Board relied on certain information, including (1) a copy of the Advisory Agreement; (2) information about applicable expense limitation and fee waiver agreements; (3) information describing the Advisor and the services provided thereby; (4) information regarding the compliance program and portfolio management team of the Advisor; (5) copies of the Form ADV for the Advisor; (6) memoranda and guidance from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees on the fiduciary responsibilities of trustees, including Independent Trustees, in considering advisory and distribution agreements under the 1940 Act; (7) materials provided by the Advisor in response to a 15(c) request for information from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees; and (8) a presentation by personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Board was provided data comparing the advisory fees and operating expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, as applicable) 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 investment management industry, as applicable, including their experiences with the Advisor in respect of series of the Trust and IndexIQ Active ETF Trust.
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 reviewed the services that the Advisor provides to the Funds, noting that they had continually reviewed and overseen such services throughout the past year. The Board noted the responsibilities that the Advisor has as the investment advisor to the Funds, 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 Funds that were not yet operational, the Board considered the services rendered in respect of the existing Funds in assessing services expected to be provided to the non-operational Funds.
Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
April 30, 2024
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s experience, resources, and strengths in managing ETFs and other investment mandates, including the Advisor’s management of the Funds and the funds of the IndexIQ Active ETF Trust. The Board also noted and discussed with the Advisor the resources and additional support and personnel from its affiliates New York Life Investment Management LLC (“NYLIM”) and New York Life Insurance Company, which resources enhance and support the work of the Advisor’s officers and staff. The Board also considered the tenure and experience of the personnel at the Advisor providing management and administrative services to the Funds. The Board also considered the Advisor’s marketing and distribution strategy, including the various services engaged by the Advisor in seeking to market and grow assets in the Funds.
Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Board concluded that each Fund was likely to continue 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.
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 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 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, as applicable) to other investment companies considered to be in each such Fund’s peer group. The Advisor presented information on how peer groups were selected for the Funds, which generally are differentiated from broad Morningstar categorization based on distinguishing characteristics of many Funds’ core strategies, several of which are unique indexes designed by an affiliate of the Advisor. The Advisor explained that peer groups were selected using an objective methodology by a NYLIM team.
The Board noted that certain Funds had peer groups of limited size and, in certain cases, with substantial differences in portfolio management and operational costs. The Board was presented with information describing the Funds’ performance and fees, with information relative to peer groups. The Board considered unique characteristics of certain Funds relative to peer groups, particularly where such Funds had fee or total expense ratios that diverged from the median levels of the applicable peer group. The Board also discussed price pressure in the general ETF marketplace and the impact of market pressures on the price levels for relatively unique investment strategies such as those implemented by several of the Funds.
Additionally, the Trustees considered that the Advisor had put in place expense limitation or fee waiver agreements whereby the Advisor reimburses expenses and/or waives fees to limit the impact above set thresholds of certain expenses on shareholders of certain Funds. The Board noted that such expense limitation and fee waiver agreements were reflected, where applicable, in the peer group analysis provided by the Advisor. The Board further noted that the Advisor had put in place permanent expense limitation and/or fee waiver agreements for certain Funds, which were subject to termination by the Board.
The Board also considered that certain Funds invest in other third-party funds and based on information provided by the Advisor, and determined that fees that would be paid to the Advisor that are attributable to the investments made by such Funds would not be duplicative.
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 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.
Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
April 30, 2024
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 advisor to each Fund, including operational costs. The Board also discussed additional resources available to the Advisor as part of a larger organization, including the investment of financial and human resources into the Advisor and additional support to market and distribute the Funds.
The Board considered information regarding the strategy of the Advisor to grow assets in the Funds during the calendar year, including the marketing and distribution details that were provided in the Board materials. The Board reviewed the net asset levels of the Funds and the impact of both high and low asset levels on such Funds. The Advisor presented to the Board information on the operating profits on a year over year basis.
The Board considered whether the continued operation of certain Funds that had not attracted significant assets under management would be profitable to the Advisor under the unitary fee arrangement of the Advisory Agreement and determined to continue to review the asset levels of the Funds in relation to the Advisor’s profitability. The Board also noted the existence of Expense Limitation Agreements and Fee Waiver Agreements applicable to certain of the Funds, and their respective impacts on costs to shareholders and profitability of the Advisor.
The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Advisor were reasonable when considering the relative asset levels and profitability of the Funds to the Advisor.
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. The Board concluded that the investment performance of the Funds, particularly in the context of tracking error as against each Fund’s underlying index and in succeeding in satisfying their stated investment objective, supported the approval of the Advisory Agreement.
The Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information, both at the meeting and in its ongoing oversight of the Funds, to make an informed business decision with respect to the Advisory Agreement for the Funds. 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 the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Board and the Independent Trustees, voting separately, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period.

Tax Fees
| (c) | The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning are $0 for 2024 and $0 for 2023. |

| (a) | The Fund has a designated Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the members of such committee are Michael Pignataro, Michelle Kinch, Lofton Holder and Paul Schaeffer. |
