How did the Fund perform in the period?
The Fund seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Range Global Coal Index, which tracks the performance of a portfolio of stocks that are involved in the metallurgical and thermal coal industry. As of November 30, 2024, the Fund had achieved a return of -3.69% for its focused strategy since its inception on January 23, 2024. In comparison, the Fund’s broad-based index, the MSCI ACWI Index, delivered a return of 20.69% over the same period. The Fund benefitted from strong performers such as Yancoal Australia Ltd (+24.85%), Alliance Resource Partners (+33.29%), Consol Energy Inc. (+30.01%), and Arch Resources Inc. (+3.60%) but returns were tempered by underperformers like Alpha Metallurgical Resources (-27.54%).
Global coal markets are transitioning to oversupply, driven by increased export capacity, reduced Chinese imports, and declining demand in developed economies. In Europe, policy-driven reductions in coal-fired generation and renewable energy expansion are cutting imports, while China’s domestic production and high inventories are reducing import demand despite rising consumption. These shifts highlight challenges in the coal market, though the Fund’s exposure to key performers reflects the ongoing importance of coal in specific regions during this transitional phase.

How did the Fund perform in the period?
The Fund seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Range Global LNG Ecosystem Index, which tracks the performance of a portfolio of stocks that are involved in the liquified natural gas (LNG) industry. As of November 30, 2024, the Fund had achieved a return of 15.72% for its focused strategy since its inception on January 23, 2024. In comparison, the Fund's broad-based index, the MSCI ACWI Index, delivered a return of 20.69% over the same period. The Fund benefited from strong performance in the LNG sector, driven by growing demand for infrastructure and energy diversification globally. Top contributors included Golar LNG Ltd (+71.25%) and Excelerate Energy Inc. (+100.32%), each of which capitalized on robust industry trends and innovation.
Despite these gains, the Fund faced headwinds from detractors such as New Fortress Energy (-71.72%), Flex LNG Ltd (-16.93%), Aspen Aerogels (-6.78%), and Woodside Energy Group (-23.95%), which tempered overall performance. Additionally, several key LNG projects across the Americas, including Plaquemines LNG and Golden Pass LNG, experienced delays, reducing the anticipated LNG supply for global markets. This has tightened the gas balance in Europe, which is already facing the loss of residual Russian gas flows through Ukraine by the end of 2025.
The delays have also impacted the U.S. natural gas market by postponing demand growth, easing storage concerns, and lowering Henry Hub price forecasts. The Fund’s strategy of investing across the LNG ecosystem allowed it to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the sector while navigating broader market challenges, including these supply chain disruptions and shifting market dynamics.

How did the Fund perform in the period?
The Fund seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Range Global Offshore Oil Services Index, which tracks the performance of a portfolio of stocks that are involved in the global offshore oil industry. As of November 30, 2024, the Fund had achieved a return of -2.54% for its focused strategy since its inception on January 23, 2024. In comparison, the Fund’s broad-based index, the MSCI ACWI Index, delivered a return of 20.69% over the same period. The Fund benefitted from strong performers such as Samsung Heavy Industries (+49.94%), Saipem SPA (+66.05%), and Subsea 7 SA (+17.61%), which were driven by robust demand for subsea and offshore energy projects, higher-margin contracts, and improved operational efficiencies.
However, the Fund faced challenges from detractors, including Transocean Ltd (-30.71%), Valaris Ltd (-32.64%), and Nobel Corp PLC (-23.64%), which weighed on overall returns. The offshore oil services sector has seen growth fueled by record order backlogs, expanding global project opportunities, and innovation in vessel technologies. While such trends supported the Fund’s top performers, the drag from key detractors moderated the Fund’s overall performance.

1. ORGANIZATION
Exchange Traded Concepts Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on July 17, 2009. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company with multiple investment portfolios. The financial statements herein are those of the Range Global Coal Index ETF, Range Global LNG Ecosystem Index ETF, Range Global Offshore Oil Services Index ETF and Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF (each a “Fund”, and together the “Funds”). The Range Global Coal Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Range Global Coal Index. The Range Global LNG Ecosystem Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Range Global LNG Ecosystem Index. The Range Global Offshore Oil Services Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Range Global Offshore Oil Services Index. The Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Range Nuclear Renaissance Index. Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Adviser”), an Oklahoma limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser for each Fund. Each Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act (see “Non-Diversification Risk” under Note 6). The Funds commenced operations on January 23, 2024.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). Market prices for shares of a Fund may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are available for purchase and redemption on each business day and are offered and redeemed on an in-kind basis, together with a specified cash amount, or for an all cash amount. Once created, shares trade in a secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in share amounts less than a Creation Unit.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Trust, are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for investment companies. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on the accrual basis of accounting. Management has reviewed Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), and concluded that the Funds meet the criteria of an “investment company,” and therefore, the Funds prepare their financial statements in accordance with investment company accounting as outlined in ASC 946.
Use of Estimates and Indemnifications — Each Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Funds expect any risk of loss to be remote.
Security Valuation — The Funds record their investments at fair value. Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price for long positions and at the most recent quoted ask price

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
for short positions. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded.
The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the fair value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less when acquired will be valued at their market value. If a market value is not available from a pricing vendor or from an independent broker, the security shall be fair valued according to the Trust’s fair value procedures. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, establishes requirements to determine fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The rule permits fund boards to designate a fund’s investment adviser to perform fair-value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. The rule also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and requires a fund to fair value a portfolio investment when a market quotation is not readily available.
Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) (i) has designated the Adviser as the Board’s valuation designee to perform fair-value determinations for a Fund through the Adviser’s Valuation Committee and (ii) approved the Adviser’s Valuation Procedures.
Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time, when under normal conditions, it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, a Fund may fair value its securities if an event that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities that traded outside of the United States (a ‘‘Significant Event’’) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Fund calculates its NAV. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include, but are not limited to, government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If the Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its NAV, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;
• Level 2 — Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
• Level 3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

November 30, 2024 (Continued)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the period ended November 30, 2024 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value.
Federal Income Taxes — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
The Funds’ policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on their Statements of Operations. As of and during the period ended November 30, 2024, the Funds did not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes. Current tax years remain open and subject to examination by tax jurisdictions. The Funds have reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Funds’ net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on its tax returns.
Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains earned.
Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received, capital gain on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions (a portion of which may be reclaimable). All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Idle cash may be swept into various overnight demand deposits and is classified as Cash and Cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Each Fund pays out dividends from its net investment income and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to investors at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)
Creation Units — The Funds issue and redeem shares at NAV and only in Creation Units, or multiples thereof. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee, regardless of the number of Creation Units created in a given transaction. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard minimum redemption transaction fee to the custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed in a given transaction. The Funds may charge, either in lieu of or in addition to the fixed creation transaction fee, a variable fee for creations and redemptions in order to cover certain non-standard brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution, market impact and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from such transactions. In all cases, such fees will be limited in accordance with the requirements of the Commission applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities.
The Adviser may retain all or a portion of the transaction fee to the extent the Adviser bears the expenses that otherwise would be borne by the Trust in connection with the purchase or redemption of a Creation Unit, which the transaction fee is designed to cover.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed an Authorized Participant Agreement with the Funds’ distributor. 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 and sell shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
To the extent contemplated by an Authorized Participant Agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”), on behalf of the Fund, by the time as set forth in the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the Authorized Participant Agreement. An Authorized Participant Agreement may permit a Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of a Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and Collateral Payable upon Return of Deposit Securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

5. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or total distributable earnings (accumulated losses) as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
At November 30, 2024, the Fund reclassified the following permanent amount between paid-in capital and distributable earnings (accumulated losses), the reclassification is primarily related to in-kind redemptions:
| | Paid-in Capital | | Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) |
Range Global Coal Index ETF | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |

Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF | | | 911,657 | | | | (911,657 | ) |
As of November 30, 2024, the components of Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | Range Global Coal Index ETF | | Range Global LNG Ecosystem Index ETF | | Range Global Offshore Oil Services Index ETF | | Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF |

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS
As with all exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), each shareholder of a Fund is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. Risk information is applicable to each Fund unless otherwise noted. Additional principal risks are disclosed in the Funds’ prospectus. Please refer to the Funds’ prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks of investing in a Fund.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk. Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value of a Fund’s investments and the value of your shares. Because each Fund’s NAV is determined on the basis of U.S. dollars, the U.S. dollar value of your investment in a Fund may go down if the value of the local currency of the non-U.S. markets in which that Fund invests depreciates against the U.S. dollar. This is true even if the local currency value of securities in a Fund’s holdings goes up. Conversely, the dollar value of your investment in a Fund may go up if the value of the local currency appreciates against the U.S. dollar. The value of the U.S. dollar measured against other currencies is influenced by a variety of factors. These factors include: national debt levels and trade deficits, changes in balances of payments and trade, domestic and foreign interest and inflation rates, global or regional political, economic or financial events, monetary policies of governments, actual or potential government intervention, and global energy prices. Political instability, the possibility of government intervention and restrictive or opaque business and investment policies may also reduce the value of a country’s currency. Government monetary policies and the buying or selling of currency by a country’s government may also influence exchange rates. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in a Fund may change quickly and without warning, and you may lose money.
Emerging Markets Securities Risk. Emerging markets are subject to greater market volatility, lower trading volume, political and economic instability, uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, securities in emerging markets may be subject to greater price fluctuations than securities in more developed markets. Differences in regulatory,
21
Range ETFs
Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 2024 (Continued)
6. PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS (continued)
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting and recordkeeping standards could impede the Adviser’s ability to evaluate local companies and impact a Fund’s performance. Investments in securities of issuers in emerging markets may also be exposed to risks related to a lack of liquidity, greater potential for market manipulation, issuers’ limited reliable access to capital, and foreign investment structures. Additionally, a Fund may have limited rights and remedies available to it to pursue claims against issuers in emerging markets.
Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in non-U.S. securities involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in U.S. securities. For example, investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations or to political or economic instability. There may be less information publicly available about a non-U.S. issuer than a U.S. issuer. Non-U.S. issuers may be subject to inconsistent and potentially less stringent accounting, auditing, financial reporting and investor protection standards than U.S. issuers. Investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to withholding or other taxes and may be subject to additional trading, settlement, custodial, and operational risks. With respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of government intervention and expropriation or nationalization of assets. Because legal systems differ, there is also the possibility that it will be difficult to obtain or enforce legal judgments in certain countries. Because foreign exchanges may be open on days when a Fund does not price its shares, the value of the securities investments in a Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments. These factors can also cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount to NAV.
Industry Concentration Risk. Because each Fund’s assets will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent the Fund’s Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries, the Funds are subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or group of industries. To the extent a Fund concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry, that Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified more broadly over numerous industries. Such industry-based risks, any of which may adversely affect a Fund may include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources, adverse labor relations, political or world events; obsolescence of technologies; and increased competition or new product introductions that may affect the profitability or viability of companies in an industry. In addition, at times, an industry may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole.
Sector Focus Risk. A Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors. While each Fund’s sector exposure is expected to vary over time based on the composition of its Index, each Fund anticipates that it may be subject to some or all of the risks described below.
Energy Sector Risk. The market value of securities in the energy sector may decline for many reasons including, fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of energy fuels caused by geopolitical events, the success of exploration projects, weather or meteorological events, taxes, increased governmental or environmental regulation, resource depletion, rising interest rates, declines in domestic or foreign production, accidents or catastrophic events that result in injury, loss of life or property, pollution or other environmental damage claims, terrorist threats or attacks, among others. Markets for various energy-related commodities can have significant volatility and are subject to control or manipulation by large producers or purchasers. Companies in the energy sector may need to make substantial expenditures, and may incur significant amounts of debt, to maintain or expand their reserves through exploration of new sources of supply, through the development of existing sources, through acquisitions, or through long-term contracts to acquire reserves. Factors adversely affecting producers, refiners, distributors, or others in the energy sector may adversely affect companies that service or supply those entities, either because demand for those services or products is curtailed, or those services or products come under price pressure. Issuers in the energy sector may also be impacted by changing investor and consumer preferences arising from the sector’s potential exposure to sustainability and environmental concerns.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS (continued)
Industrials Sector Risk. Stock prices for industrials companies are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector products in general. Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities will likewise affect the performance of these companies.
Materials Sector Risk. Companies in the materials sector may be adversely impacted by the volatility of commodity prices, changes in exchange rates, depletion of resources, over-production, litigation and changes in government regulations, among other factors.
Utilities Sector Risk. The utilities sector is subject to significant government regulation and oversight. Deregulation, however, may subject utility companies to greater competition and may reduce their profitability. Companies in the utilities sector may be adversely affected due to increases in fuel and operating costs, rising costs of financing capital construction and the cost of complying with U.S. federal and state regulations, among other factors.
Risk of Investing in Nuclear Companies (NUKZ). The Fund will be sensitive to, and its performance will depend to a greater extent on, the overall condition of nuclear companies. Nuclear companies may face considerable risk as a result of, among other risks, incidents and accidents, breaches of security, ill-intentioned acts of terrorism, air crashes, natural disasters (such as floods or earthquakes), equipment malfunctions or mishandling in storage handling, transportation, treatment or conditioning of substances and nuclear materials. Such events could have serious consequences, especially in case of radioactive contamination and irradiation of the environment, for the general population, as well as a material, negative impact on the Fund’s portfolio companies and thus the Fund’s financial situation. In addition, nuclear companies are subject to competitive risk associated with the prices of other energy sources, such as natural gas and oil. Consumers of nuclear energy may have the ability to switch between nuclear energy and other energy sources and, as a result, during periods when competing energy sources are less expensive, the revenues of nuclear energy companies may decline with a corresponding impact on earnings.
Risk of Investing in Coal Companies (OFOS). Companies involved in activities relating to the exploration for, mining of, and other related activities for coalface risks due to supply and demand variability. Weather conditions, a strong or weak domestic economy, the price levels of competing sources of fuel, political instability and conservation efforts may affect the demand for coal. The productivity of mining operations may be reduced by geological conditions, regulatory permits for mining activities and the availability of coal that meets standards set forth in the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990.Companies involved in activities relating to the exploration for, mining of, and other related activities for coal are also impacted by the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar, import controls, worldwide competition, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, companies in this industry may be significantly affected by the occurrence of certain events relating to international political and economic developments, the success of exploration projects and tax and other government regulations. A primary risk of the coal industry is the competitive risk associated with the prices of alternative fuels, such as natural gas and oil. For example, consumers of coal often have the ability to switch between the use of coal, oil or natural gas. As a result, during periods when competing fuels are less expensive, the revenues of companies in the coal industry may decline with a corresponding impact on earnings.
Market Risk. Market risk, including political, regulatory, market, and economic or other developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of a Fund’s shares. The market price of an investment could decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of an investment also may decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries such as labor shortages, increased production costs, and competitive conditions. Different types of investments may go through interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of investments. Local, regional, or global events such

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS (concluded)
as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the market generally and on specific investments. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not a Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Non-Diversification Risk. As non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, each Fund may hold a smaller number of portfolio securities than many other funds and may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund. To the extent a Fund invests in a relatively small number of issuers, a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund may affect its value more than if it invested in a larger number of issuers. The value of a Fund’s shares may be more volatile than the values of shares of more diversified funds.
7. OTHER
At November 30, 2024, the records of the Trust, reflected that 100% of the Funds’ total shares outstanding were held by Authorized Participants, in the form of Creation Units, as shown in the table below. However, the individual shares comprising such Creation Units are listed and traded on the Exchange and have been purchased and sold by persons other than Authorized Participants.
| | Number of Authorized Participants |
Range Global Coal Index ETF | | 3 |
Range Global LNG Ecosystem Index ETF | | 1 |
Range Global Offshore Oil Services Index ETF | | 3 |
Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF | | 3 |
8. RECENT MARKET EVENTS
Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the market generally and on specific securities. Periods of market volatility may occur in response to such events and other economic, political, and global macro factors.
Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, took extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by keeping interest rates at historically low levels for an extended period. The Federal Reserve concluded its market support activities in 2022 and began to raise interest rates in an effort to fight inflation. However, the Federal Reserve has recently lowered interest rates and may continue to do so. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic, inflation, or other significant events in the future may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosure and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements.
