Dear GlobalShares Investors and Partners,
At Old Mutual Global Index Trackers (OMGxT) we focus on offering our clients low-cost indexation funds from across global markets, with a specific focus on emerging markets. As referred to by BlackRock’s Deborah Fuhr, Global Head of ETF Research and Implementation, ETF Landscape Industry Preview October 2009, global ETF assets have hit an all time high of $942 billion at the end of October 2009 – 0.9% above the previous all time high of $933 billion set in Q3 2009. In October 2009 year-to-date, the average daily trading volume in USD was $74.4 billion. GlobalShares joined the ranks on December 8, 2009 with our first ETF, the GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund.
Our exchange traded funds (ETFs) are listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. and include:

Global Economy and Markets
Exposure to emerging markets’ fast growing economies is becoming an essential ingredient of global portfolios. Although these economies are not immune to a slowdown in the world’s developed economies, most of the emerging markets have been growing due to the internal dynamics of infrastructure expansion and rising consumption as incomes continue to rise. The global environment is therefore broadly supportive of world stock markets. The center of economic gravity continues to shift eastward as emerging market economic activity, trade and population have outpaced the developed world. The so-called BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China - and other emerging markets have led the charge, rapidly increasing their share in almost every area, and after the recent financial crisis, becoming ever more important.
The five year annualized return ending March 31, 2010 of the FTSE Emerging Markets Index was 16.96%, versus the FTSE US Index performance of 2.43%. We believe that global diversification can enhance returns while reducing the risk. The credit crunch has dramatically narrowed the gap in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) between the developed and emerging world economies. This rebalancing of global economic activity has seen the growth differential between the developed and emerging markets widen in favor of emerging markets.
Per the graph below, the percentage market capitalization that the US makes up of the FTSE All-World Index has been declining over the last 9 years (from 51.8% down to 41.0%), while Emerging Markets have contributed an increasing proportion of the FTSE All-World Index market capitalization (from 2.3% to 11.6%). Therefore, Emerging Markets should no longer be regarded as an insignificant component within a global portfolio.

Past performance is not an indicator of future results. Index performance is not representative of a specific fund. One cannot invest directly in an index.
Expectations are that the current rebound will be sluggish although international capital flows to emerging markets have recovered. Accordingly, IHS Global Insight World Overview expects global growth to reach approximately 3% in 2010, following a contraction in activity of roughly 2% in 2009.

GlobalShares Funds
While we believe that emerging markets are outpacing developed markets, that trend may or may not continue for significant periods of time. Offering developed fund index products offers investors an alternative strategy. Also, many companies in developed countries are benefiting from the economic growth occurring elsewhere, so a developed countries fund can be an indirect way to benefit from emerging market growth.
The GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund provides exposure to developed nations including Canada. Often many investors’ perspectives of what constitutes foreign holdings do not include Canada, and as such have potentially lost out on the greater diversification that Canada may bring to an investor’s portfolio. Buying ex-US funds may supplement investors’ current holdings and provide diversification without US overlap through exposure to 23 of the world’s developed markets, namely: Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and significantly Canada, to name a few. In conjunction with our GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund (NYSE:GSR), investors have the ability to adjust their asset allocation between emerging and developed markets, and have exposure to the world (emerging and developed markets, excluding frontier markets). However, with investing in developed markets comes a certain level of risk, and these ris ks include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, and lack of timely or reliable financial information.
Our funds are broadly diversified, as you can see from the detailed holdings in this report. This approach seeks to reduce the shock to an investor’s net worth from isolated market events, such as those occurring in Greece (see chart below). We believe our GlobalShares Funds can provide a diversified component to an investor’s core, long-term investment.

Earliest Common Inception Date: June 30, 2000
Past performance is not indicative of future results. The recent growth rate in the stock market has helped to produce short-term returns that are not typical and may not continue in the future. Index performance is not representative of a specific fund or product. One cannot invest directly in an index.
GlobalShares also announced it has voluntarily agreed to limit the total annual operating expenses of GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund (NYSE:GSR) to 0.25% of average daily net assets for one-year effective June 1, 2010. GSR is now the lowest cost broad emerging market ETF in the industry. As stated in the current prospectus, as amended, Old Mutual Global Index Trackers has voluntarily agreed to waive its management fees and reimburse other expenses (not including brokerage or other transaction-related expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) such that total operating expenses do not exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets for the period June 1, 2010 through May 31, 2011. (Expenses are also subject to a contractual expense cap of 0.39% until January 31, 2012.) The Fund's current gross expense ratio is 0.51%.

FTSE Indices
Although the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Indices are the traditional benchmark for institutional investors, the FTSE Group Indices offers parallel index coverage to investors looking for an alternative to the mainstream emerging markets index offered by MSCI. For example, the FTSE Emerging Markets Index offers equivalent coverage to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The FTSE outperformed MSCI over 1 and 5 year periods while maintaining an almost identical volatility. With the exception of MSCI’s holdings in Israel and South Korea the biggest differences come from FTSE’s presence in India and Brazil. FTSE is more heavily weighted in India by 4% and in Brazil by 3.58%, when compared to MSCI.

Reflects expense ratios as reported in the Prospectus dated November 19, 2009, as supplemented. The adviser has agreed to contractually waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses. The agreement is in effect until at least January 31, 2012.

Expense ratios reported for FTSE Emerging Markets Fund are reflective of the adviser’s voluntary waivers/reimbursements in effect until May 31, 2011. Expenses are also subject to a contractual expense cap of 0.39% until at least January 31, 2012.
Net Asset Value (NAV) returns are calculated from when the Fund began investment operations, while Market Returns are calculated from the date of the Fund’s shares were listed and publicly available. Shares of GlobalShares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market Price returns are based upon the last reported sale price at which Fund shares trade on the NYSE Arca, Inc. or, if it more accurately reflects the current market value of the Fund’s shares at the time the Fund uses to calculate its NAV, a price within the range of the highest bid and lowest offer on the NYSE Arca, Inc., and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.
During times of market volatility it is crucial that we keep our long term investment goals in mind and not allow short-term fears to influence our decisions. If when buying an investment you believed it would meet your long term goals, and those goals have not changed, then be prepared to weather the current storm. In fact, many fund managers are viewing current market conditions as a buying opportunity for the long term investor.
If you have any queries regarding your investments please speak to your broker or Old Mutual directly.
We look forward to partnering further with you in the coming years.

Shareholder Expense Examples
As a shareholder of Old Mutual Global Shares Trust, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. Transaction costs are not included.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at each Fund’s inception and held through the period ended March 31, 2010.
Actual expenses
The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, 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 for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line under each Fund in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. For purposes of comparability, the second line under each Fund assumes that each Fund was in operation for a full 6 month period, which did not occur. 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 your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund 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.

ORGANIZATION
Old Mutual Global Shares Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust organized on December 5, 2008. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”). The GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund and GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund are two of five separate exchange-traded index funds currently comprising the Trust, (collectively, the “Funds” and each individually a “Fund”), and as of the date of this report are the only active funds. The Trust had no operations prior to December 1, 2009 other than matters relating to its organization and registration as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Act, and the sale and issuance to Old Mutual Global Index Trackers (Pty) Limited (the “Adviser”) of 4,000 shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) of the GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund at an aggregate price of $100,000 on November 2, 2009. GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund and GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund commenced investment operations on December 1, 2009 and February 9, 2010, respectively.
The investment objective of GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund and GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses), generally to the performance of each Fund’s corresponding underlying index (FTSE Emerging Markets Index and FTSE Developed ex US Index, respectively) (“Underlying Index”).
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the fiscal period. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuation
Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued using a market approach at the last reported sale price as of the close of regular trading on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or if it is not possible to determine the last reported sale price on the relevant exchange or market on the valuation date, the value of the security shall be taken to be the most recent mean between the bid and asked prices on such exchange or market on the valuation date. Absent both bid and asked prices on such exchange, the bid price may be used. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If such prices are not available, the security will be valued in accordance with fair value methods approved by the Board o f Trustees (the “Board”).
Open-end investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value (“NAV”), with the exception of exchange-traded open-end investment companies which are priced as equity securities.
If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security will be valued by another method that the Board believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board’s fair valuation pricing policies.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The valuation procedures include a procedure whereby “fair valuation” of certain foreign securities prices may be provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board. The Funds use fair value pricing to seek to ensure that the Funds’ NAV reflects the value of its underlying portfolio securities. There can be no assurance, however, that a fair value used by the Funds on any given day will more accurately reflect the market value of a security or securities than the market price of such security or securities. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.
The Funds utilize various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below. Each Fund’s hierarchy can be found its corresponding Schedule of Investments.
| | |
| Level 1 — | quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| Level 2 — | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| Level 3 — | significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
In January 2010, Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 will require new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 (effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009), as well as additional details regarding Level 3 transaction activity (effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010). Management is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will have on the Funds’ financial statements.
NAV per share of each Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of each Fund by the total number of outstanding shares of that Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ NAVs are calculated at the close of the regular trading session on the NYSE ordinarily 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on each day that such exchange is open.
American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”)
The Funds may invest in ADRs. For many foreign securities, US Dollar-denominated ADRs, which are traded in the United States on exchanges or OTC, are issued by domestic banks. ADRs represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a domestic bank or a correspondent bank. ADRs are an alternative to purchasing the underlying securities in their national markets and currencies. ADRs do not eliminate all the risk inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers. However, by investing in ADRs rather than directly in foreign issuers’ stock, a Fund can avoid currency risks during the settlement period for either purchases or sales.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
The Funds may invest in the securities of REITs, which pool investors’ funds for investments primarily in commercial real estate properties, to the extent allowed by law. Investment in REITs may be the most practical available means for the Funds to invest in the real estate industry. As a shareholder in a REIT, a Fund would bear its ratable share of the REIT’s expenses, including its advisory and administration fees. At the same time, a Fund would continue to pay its own investment advisory fees and other expenses, as a result of which the Funds and their shareholders in effect will be absorbing duplicate levels of fees with respect to investments in REITs.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign Currency
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in US Dollars. The valuation of investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US Dollars at the prevailing exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US Dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against specific transactions, Funds positions or anticipated Funds positions. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded, as the Funds do not intend to hold the contracts to maturity. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The Funds realize gains and losses at the time forward contracts are extinguished. Unrealized gains or losses on outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the year are recognized as ordinary income or loss for Federal tax purposes. As of March 31, 2010, there were no forward foreign currency contracts outstanding.
Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded using the specific identification method.
Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Funds will distribute their net capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually.
3.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Investment Advisory Agreement
The Funds have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Old Mutual Global Index Trackers (Pty) Limited (the “Adviser”). The Adviser acts as the Funds’ investment adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Funds. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the Funds’ securities portfolio. For its services, the Funds pay the Adviser an advisory fee, accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.125% of the Funds’ average daily net assets.
Expense Reimbursement Agreement
The Adviser has contractually agreed, pursuant to a separate agreement with the Trust (the “Expense Reimbursement Agreement”), to waive advisory fees and reimburse other expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the expenses of the Funds (other than distribution and service (12b-1) fees (if any), brokerage or other transaction related expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) from exceeding a specified percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets per year (the “Expense Cap”).
Pursuant to the Expense Reimbursement Agreement, the Expense Caps for the GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund and the GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund will not exceed 0.39% and 0.35%, respectively, until at least January 31, 2012. In addition, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to impose lower Expense Caps for certain Funds.

5.
ORGANIZATIONAL AND OFFERING COSTS
Costs incurred in organizing the Trust were expensed at the initial commencement of operations. Offering costs of $114,466 were capitalized and are being amortized over a twelve-month period from the commencement of investment operations of the first fund in the Trust. Offering costs expensed for the period ended March 31, 2010 were $33,624. The Adviser may recoup some or all of these costs subject to the Expense Reimbursement Agreement described in Note 3.
6.
ISSUANCE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES
Shares of the GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund and GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol GSR and GSD, respectively. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts substantially less than a Creation Unit.
Only “Authorized Participants”, typically a broker/dealer may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

ISSUANCE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES (continued)
On February 17, 2010, under the authorization of the Board, a 5-for-1 stock split was implemented on the GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund. The impact of the stock split was to increase the number of shares outstanding by a factor of five, while decreasing the NAV per share by a factor of five, resulting in no effect to the total net assets of the Fund. The financial statements of the Fund have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split.
7.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX
The Funds intend to qualify as “regulated investment companies” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains to shareholders.
At March 31, 2010, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Cost | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | |
GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund | | $ | 60,779,145 | | $ | 5,085,461 | | $ | (1,047,358 | ) | | $ | 4,038,103 | |
GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund | | | 12,779,033 | | | 813,469 | | | (64,884 | ) | | | 748,585 | |
Financial reporting rules prescribe a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Funds' understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which they invest. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. If applicable, the Funds will recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” expense on the Statements of Operations. Management has determined that there is no impact resulting from the analysis of the benefits of the Funds’ tax position based on the prescribed minimum threshold to the Funds' financial statements.
Financial reporting rules require management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, fiscal year 2010, as defined by IRS statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the period ended March 31, 2010, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examination in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
8.
RISKS
Below are some of the principal risks of investing in the Funds. Please refer to the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a full discussion.
Foreign and Emerging Market Holdings - Investing in the securities of foreign issuers, particularly those in emerging market countries, involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in US companies. These risks and considerations include differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, generally higher commission rates on foreign portfolio transactions, the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, political instability which could affect US investment in foreign countries and potential restrictions on the flow of international capital and currencies. Foreign issuers may also be subject to less government regulation than US companies. Moreover, the dividends and interest payable on foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, thus reducing the net amount of income available for distribution to a Fund 146;s shareholders. Further, foreign securities often trade with

|
|
|
8.
RISKS (continued)
less frequency and volume than domestic securities and, therefore, may exhibit greater price volatility. Changes in foreign exchange rates will affect, favorably or unfavorably, the value of those securities which are denominated or quoted in currencies other than the US Dollar.
Each Fund may hold depositary receipts, which may be traded in the US but bear the risks of non-US securities. Some depositary receipts may become illiquid and bear extra costs.
Investments in certain jurisdictions require approval of the Funds by local regulators which could be delayed. Certain foreign sub-custodians may pose credit risk and settlement failures are more common.
Emerging markets are subject to greater political and economic instability and uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets, and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. There may be less information publicly available with regard to emerging market issuers. There may be no single centralized securities exchange on which securities are traded in emerging market countries and the systems of corporate governance to which companies in emerging markets are subject may be less advanced than that to which US issuers are subject, and therefore, shareholders in such companies may not receive many of the protections available to shareholders of US issuers. Securities law in many emerging market countries is relatively new and unsettled. Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market securities, securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder rights may change quickly and unpred ictably. In addition, the enforcement of systems of taxation at federal, regional and local levels in emerging market countries may be inconsistent, and subject to sudden change.
Small- and Medium-Capitalization Company – Investing in securities of small- and medium-capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small- and medium-capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving and, while this may offer better growth potential than larger, more established companies, it also may make them more sensitive to changing market conditions.
Non-Correlation - The Funds’ returns may not match the return of their Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Funds incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Funds’ securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Index.
Due to legal and regulatory rules and limitations imposed by certain countries and stock exchanges on which securities in the Underlying Index trade, including foreign ownership limitations and margin requirements, the Funds may not be able to invest in all securities included in the Underlying Index or may be delayed in purchasing or selling securities included in the Underlying Index. The Funds may exclude certain securities included in the Underlying Index that are traded in certain countries due to issues such as foreign investment and/or trading restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints. Liquidity constraints may delay the Funds’ purchase or sale of securities included in the Underlying Index. For tax efficiency purposes, the Funds may sell certain securities to realize losses, causing it to deviate from their Underlying Index.
The Funds may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Funds or reserves of cash held by the Funds to meet redemptions and expenses. Because the Funds utilize a sampling approach or if the Funds utilize futures or other derivative positions, their returns may not correlate as well with the return of their Underlying Index as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Underlying Index with the same weightings as the Underlying Index.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
At its organizational meeting on November 16, 2009, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with the Trust or its service providers), unanimously approved the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. In reaching this decision, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds and their shareholders (including the investment performance of the Adviser’s index fund clients); (2) the competitiveness of the advisory fee and total expenses; (3) the total cost of the services to be provided by and the profits that could be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds; and (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and if the fund shareholders would benefit from those economies.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Trust counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is consistent with the Adviser’s fiduciary duty under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the staffing of the Adviser, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing index funds. Also considered was the retention incentives of key personnel, and the support provided by affiliated companies. The Board also considered the expertise of the Adviser in supervising third party service providers to the Fund, such as the administrator and custodian. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Adviser which supports the Fund’s compliance program.
Consideration was given to the tracking error and performance of existing index funds managed by the Adviser in South Africa. Based on the Board’s review and the commitment of the Adviser to achieve a high level of investment performance given the indices used, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided under the Agreement would benefit Fund shareholders.
Competitiveness of Fund Expenses. The Board considered the competitiveness of the Funds’ fees to other investment products and to other exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Part of this analysis was the consideration of a unitary fee pursuant to which an adviser or sponsor pays all of a fund’s costs. Instead, the Board agreed to adopt an Expense Reimbursement Plan pursuant to which the Adviser would maintain the total expenses of the Funds for a fixed period, subject to reimbursement if assets grew.
The Board noted that the Funds’ advisory fees and total expenses under the fee caps were lower than the median of all mutual funds and lower than similar ETFs. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fees and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Adviser in developing and rendering services to the Funds, and the likelihood and level of profits in the early years of the Funds’ operations. While salaries of certain foreign personnel may be lower than those of domestic advisers, certain costs of an international operation could be much higher. The Board considered that there were no material fall-out benefits related to this line of business, and no affiliates of the Adviser had a contractual relationship with the Trust. The Board noted that the Adviser was taking on considerable entrepreneurial risk.
Given the costs of the services provided by and the profits that could be realized by the Adviser in connection with the management of the Funds, the Board determined that the amount of potential profit was fair.
Economies of Scale. The Board noted that the Fund shareholders could benefit from economies of scale with asset growth. It was anticipated that if the Funds grew that services to shareholders may also increase. Until the Funds’ assets achieved certain levels, however, this determination would be difficult to make. The Board concluded that potential economies of scale, if any, would be shared to some extent by both the Adviser and the Funds’ shareholders.
Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement is fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.
