Annual Report
June 30, 2019
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s annual and semiannual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Fund’s website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary (such as your brokerage firm).
Alternatively, you may elect to receive paper copies of all future reports free of charge by contacting your financial intermediary. Your election to receive reports in paper may apply to all funds held in your account(s) that you invest in through your financial intermediary.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Before investing you should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting www.AGFiQ.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
Risks: There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its objective. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is a risk that during a “bull” market, when most equity securities and long only Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) are increasing in value, a Fund’s short positions will likely cause a Fund to underperform the overall U.S. equity market and such ETFs. These securities may be more volatile than a broad cross-section of securities, and momentum may be an indicator that a security’s price is peaking. The value of an investment in a Fund may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money by investing in a Fund. A Fund may utilize derivatives and, as a result, the Fund could lose more than the amount it invests. When utilizing short selling, the amount a Fund could lose on a short sale is potentially unlimited because there is no limit on the price a shorted security might attain. For further risk information on each Fund, please read the prospectus.
AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF (USHG) specific risks: The Fund’s hedging strategies against declines in security prices, financial markets, exchange rates and interest rates may not be successful, and even if they are successful, the Fund’s exposure to a certain risk may not be fully hedged at all times and the Fund may still lose money on a hedged position. The risks of investing in securities of ETFs typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the underlying ETF invests. To the extent the Fund invests significantly in the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund, which is also managed by the Adviser (the “Market Neutral ETF”), it will be subject to the following risks applicable to investing in the Market Neutral ETF: There is a risk that during a “bull” market, when most equity securities and long only ETFs are increasing in value, the Market Neutral ETF’s short positions will likely cause the Market Neutral ETF to underperform the overall U.S. equity market and such ETFs. These securities may be more volatile than a broad cross-section of securities, and momentum may be an indicator that a security’s price is peaking. The value of an investment in the Market Neutral ETF may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money by investing in the fund. The Market Neutral ETF may utilize derivatives and as a result, the Market Neutral ETF could lose more that the amount it invests. When utilizing short selling the amount the Market Neutral ETF could lose on a short sale is potentially unlimited because there is no limit on the price a shorted security might attain.
AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF (GLIF) specific risks: The Fund’s investments in infrastructure-related securities will expose the Fund to potential adverse economic, regulatory, political, legal and other changes affecting such investments. Rising interest rates could lead to higher financing costs and reduced earnings for infrastructure companies. Investments in foreign securities involve risks that differ from investments in securities of U.S. issuers because of unique political, economic and market conditions. Investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market economies (including frontier market economies) are generally riskier than investments in securities of issuers from more developed economies. Investing in securities that trade in and receive revenues in foreign currencies creates risk because foreign currencies may decline relative to the U.S. dollar, resulting in a potential loss to the Fund.
Shares of AGFiQ are bought and sold at market price (not net assets value (“NAV”), as defined below) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market Price (as defined below) returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 PM Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Fund returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in a Fund at NAV. Some performance results reflect expense subsidies and waivers in effect during certain periods shown. Absent these waivers, results would have been less favorable.

Beta is a measure of an asset’s sensitivity to an underlying index.Long is purchasing a stock with the expectation that it is going to rise in value.Shortis selling stock with the expectation of profiting by buying it back later at a lower price.SpreadReturn is the return earned between the long and short portfolios within each ETF. One cannot invest directly in an index.
Shares are not individually redeemable and can be redeemed only in Creation Units, and the purchase and sale price of individual Shares trading on an Exchange may be below, at, or above the most recently calculated NAV for such Shares.

Each Fund invests in certain securities long and certain securities short pursuant to its Target Index, and the performance of a Fund depends on the difference in the rates of return (i.e., the spread return) between the long positions and the short positions. If the long positions appreciate more or decline less than the short positions, then a Fund will generate a positive return. If the long positions appreciate less or decline more than the short positions, however, a Fund will generate a negative return.

Dear Shareholder,
This Annual Report for the AGFiQ ETFs covers the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 (the “Annual Period”). During the Annual Period, the Funds’ NAV1 returns were as follows:
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001144204-19-043707/spacer.gif) | | ![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001144204-19-043707/spacer.gif) |
AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund (“MOM”) | | | 0.24% | |
AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund (“CHEP”) | | | -13.69% | |
AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund (“SIZ”) | | | -10.55% | |
AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund (“BTAL”) | | | 9.30% | |
AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund (“DIVA”) | | | 5.02% | |
AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF (“GLIF”) | | | 3.00% (since inception) | |
AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF (“USHG”) | | | 2.68% (since inception) | |
The Annual Period included the seventh full calendar year of operations for the AGFiQ suite of ETFs other than AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF and AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF. During the Annual Period, the AGFiQ family of ETFs expanded its product offering that consisted of four market neutral factor-based ETFs and a long/short ETF to include a Fund of Fund ETF (AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF) and an active ETF (AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF) in May 2019. These two new additions add to the AGFiQ legacy of providing alternative sources of returns to investors, built on a factor framework with an eye toward risk management.
AGFiQ continues to manage five rules based passive Funds that seek to track indexes that are designed to provide market neutral and long/short exposure to the key investment factors of Momentum, Value, Small Size, Beta, and Dividend Yield which have a deep academic background and can be implemented in an ETF. The products were the first of their kind that incorporate long/short and market neutral strategies using physical securities (rather than derivatives) in an ETF vehicle.
The U.S. equity markets experienced another leg higher during the Annual Period, with the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index2 finishing the Annual Period up 10.42%. It was a tale of two halves, with the first half, June-December 2018, characterized by increasing volatility with significant market retreats with the fourth quarter 2018 registering -13.52% return, after moving to all-time highs in early September 2018. Equity markets rebounded sharply in the first half of 2019, reversing the 13% drop in the fourth quarter of 2018 with a 13.65% return in the first quarter, followed by an additional 4.30% gain in the second quarter, setting new highs as we moved into the middle of 2019.
The economic backdrop, while mostly positive, faces a number of potential pitfalls. Highlights such as passing the USMCA3, a revised version of NAFTA4, showcased the Trump Administration’s ability to work to an equitable solution. The flip side to these economic wins have been repeated instances in which President Trump has moved swiftly to implement increasing trade tariffs with our largest trading partner, China, in an effort to win concessions in a mounting trade war. U.S. companies have spent decades building global supply chains in an effort to diversify their businesses, and we hope the unintended consequences of mounting rhetoric and restrictions will not come home to roost, and slow U.S. economic growth. We continue to see mounting deficit spending at home and mounting national debt as a problem for which we have not seen the political appetite to handle and the expectation is that we will continue to kick the can down the road.
Central banks continue to be broadly supportive, albeit at lower levels than in the immediate wake of the Great Financial Crisis. All market participants’ eyes continue to be fixated on the Federal Reserve, ECB, and Bank of Japan for guidance and positioning. Inflation remains persistently low, and

messaging globally continues to signal efforts to try to stoke inflation, which may come in the form of further rate cuts in an effort to pull policy forward.
The political environment in Europe remained very fluid during the Annual Period. The political tides shifted substantially with stalwarts on the global stage, Teresa May (UK Prime Minister) and Angela Merkel (German Chancellor), both offering their resignations in the wake of the Brexit fallout. Uncertainty surrounding the mechanics of Brexit overhung the region as many challenges remained. Japan was able to demonstrate political stability with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe winning his September election, signaling few changes to his economic policies. Accompanying Prime Minister Abe on the path forward is Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, who has signaled that interest rates will remain low for the foreseeable future.
As we noted in prior years' updates, Asia has been in the midst of a transformation. China continues to grow its influence in the region, as well as export influence globally with its Made in China 2025 and Belt and Road initiatives. China is looking to leverage its global economic clout into military might, but with this rise comes great responsibility. While we have seen North Korea continue to rattle its sabre, the rogue nation's willingness to meet with President Trump multiple times shows promise.
Activity in the Middle East continues to ripple through markets, the commodity complex, and foreign relations. While historically a volatile region, increasing tensions among interested parties has raised the temperature in the region. Diplomatic channels will have to work overtime to prevent sparks from igniting what has come to be a tinder box in recent months as regional players look to exert dominance and influence.
More broadly, the domestic investing environment during the Annual Period can be characterized by a march higher in U.S. equities accompanied by increasing volatility5. The S&P 500 Index finished the Annual Period with nine months of advances and only three month of declines. Equity market volatility returned as we saw both strong advances and pullbacks; each of the three down months were down over -6.00%, a number we have only experienced three prior times since inception in 2011. Taking a look more closely at monthly returns, the story of strength in equity markets continues to build with six months registering more than 3.00% return, and multiple record highs. While more sustained in this Annual Period than priors, we were reminded that minor disruptions are common and should be expected, with fourth quarter 2018 providing an example of a sharp selloff with the S&P 500 Index retreating -13.52% before regaining its footing for another leg higher as we moved into 2019.
The AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund (MOM) saw a relatively muted Annual Period as the Fund rose 0.24%. MOM exhibited what could be described as hot and cold performance throughout the period registering only five up months versus seven down months, with three months up over 2.90%, drawdowns were sharp with four drawdowns over -2.00%, and sometimes sustained for a number of consecutive months as seen in the fall of 2018. MOM was able to help provide a diversifying return during equity drawdowns in December 2018 and May 2019, as we saw markets swoon. The value factor continued its longer term swoon, during the Annual Period. The AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund (CHEP) suffered through another difficult period, finishing down -13.69%. The selloffs for market neutral value have been strong and persistent.
A thought to keep in mind regarding the value and momentum factors, as exhibited by both CHEP and MOM, is that the factors tend to be negatively correlated6. Generally, when one factor is in favor the other tends to be out of favor, so these are great factors to pair together. During the Annual Period, in most instances (10 of 12 months), when CHEP was negative, MOM was positive and vice versa. However, in certain markets, as exhibited in September and November 2018, both factors can be down.
Small-cap indices retreated after a strong prior period, during the Annual Period with the Russell 2000 Index7 finishing down -3.31% while the broader Russell 3000 Index8 finished relatively close to the larger cap S&P 500 Index return of 10.42%, at 8.98%. The AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund (SIZ) was unable to keep pace finishing the Annual Period negative, down -10.55%. Similar to the prior period, five out of the first six months of the period were negative, and six of the negative periods were down over -1.90%.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund (BTAL) finished the Annual Period up 9.30%, even in the face of strong equity market returns. BTAL is designed to be negatively correlated6 to the broad equity markets, and provided its intended hedge when equity markets sold off in the fourth quarter of 2018 with the S&P 500 down -13.52% versus BTAL up 8.99%, and May 2019 with the S&P 500 down -6.35% and BTAL positive 6.83%. Aside from providing a notable equity hedge, BTAL was able to deliver seven months of positive performance during the Annual Period, even while equity market moved higher. We believe BTAL is best used as a portfolio hedging product that may help reduce portfolio volatility. The Fund is designed to be long the low beta names and short the high beta names, while this design can leave the Fund susceptible to underperformance during strong equity performance, it also has the ability to capture positive performance.
The AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund (DIVA) was launched as an innovative response to growing concerns in the investment community about interest rate and credit risk within the fixed income universe. Investor’s continue to clamor for income in a low yield world. DIVA is a long/short ETF designed to provide both yield and capital appreciation. DIVA is constructed to invest in stocks with stable or growing dividends that trade at high yields. In an effort to reduce risk, DIVA shorts stocks in each sector which have unstable or low dividends. In an effort to prevent sector concentration in the highest dividend sectors and provide a diversified dividend exposure, the Fund caps long sectors at 25%, while sector and industry weights in the short portfolio are approximately 50% of the size of the long sector weights.
Over the Annual Period, we have seen rates oscillate, with the Federal Reserve moving to hike the Fed Funds rate twice in both September and December 2018. Markets have anticipated rate cuts in 2019 and we have seen yields move down, reversing their course. More broadly U.S. rates are still well below historical averages. In many instances in both foreign and domestic markets, we have seen continued central bank intervention, albeit with less frequency, size and scale as in the years following the Global Financial Crisis. While forecasts continue to call for higher rates, and increasing inflation, we continue to see fits and starts across the rates complex as any meaningful move in rates are often tempered shortly thereafter. As the flood of baby boomers continues to reach retirement age, we are embarking on a generational need for income; understanding this demand for yield, we believe DIVA can play a spot in portfolios looking for a healthy yield and total return potential. DIVA finished the Annual Period up modestly 5.02% but helped to dampen volatility and weather some of the intra-period drops seen in the broader equity rate sensitive sectors. The Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate Bond Index14, the Fund’s benchmark index, returned 10.72% during the Annual Period.
In addition we wanted to provide a brief update on Fund derivative exposure. Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in instruments other than the long and short positions in its Target Index, which we believe helps each Fund track it’s Index. Such instruments currently used are Total Return Swaps and their impact on Fund performance is noted below.
The long swap position in the Dow Jones Thematic Long Momentum Total Return Index contributed positively and the short swap position in the Dow Jones Thematic Short Momentum Total Return Index contributed negatively to the absolute performance of MOM during the Annual Period.
The long swap position in the Dow Jones Thematic Long Value Total Return Index contributed negatively and the short swap position in the Dow Jones Thematic Short Value Total Return Index contributed negatively to the absolute performance of CHEP during the Annual Period.
The long swap position in the Dow Jones Thematic Long Size Total Return Index contributed negatively and the short swap position in the Dow Jones Thematic Short Size Total Return Index contributed negatively to the absolute performance of SIZ during the Annual Period.
The long swap position in the Dow Jones Thematic Long Anti-Beta Total Return Index contributed positively and the short swap position in the Dow Jones Thematic Short Anti-Beta Total Return Index contributed positively to the absolute performance of BTAL during the Annual Period.
We believe the AGFiQ family of ETFs should be positioned to perform even in the face of an ever changing global landscape, due to their uncorrelated return profile to the broad equity and fixed income markets and their ability to capture persistent market premiums with lower volatility.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance
AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund (MOM) (Unaudited):
The AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund seeks performance results that correspond to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Market Neutral Momentum Index (“Target Index”). The Target Index, which is compiled by Dow Jones Indexes, is equal weighted, dollar neutral, and sector neutral. The Target Index rebalances monthly by identifying the highest momentum stocks as long positions and lowest momentum stocks as short positions, of approximately equal dollar amounts, within each sector. The Fund provides investors with the means of seeking the spread return between the prices of high and low momentum stocks within the Dow Jones U.S. Index.9 A stock’s momentum is based on its total return, which is a function of price performance and dividend returns over the first 12 of the last 13 months. Stocks with a higher total return receive a higher ranking and stocks with a lower total return receive a lower ranking. Momentum investing entails investing in securities that have had above-average returns and shorting securities that have had below-average returns. The performance of the Fund will depend on the difference in the rate of return between its long positions and short positions.
During the Annual Period (July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019), the Fund’s market price return was 0.29% and its NAV return was 0.24%.1 The Target Index returned -0.27% during the same period. The Fund’s market price at June 30, 2019 was $24.60.
The Fund posted positive performance in five of the 12 months for the period with returns ranging from -4.39% to 7.48%. The best performing months for the Fund were May 2019 and August 2018 finishing up 7.48% and 3.47%, respectively. The worst performing months for the Fund were June 2019 and January 2019 finishing down -4.39% and -3.82%, respectively.
The Fund is sector neutral, dollar neutral and equal weighted, and the primary driver of performance is an isolated factor, in this case momentum, total returns over the first 12 of the last 13 months. During the Annual Period, there was a slight market reward for high momentum stocks over low momentum stocks resulting in positive performance for the Fund.
The Fund had an annualized volatility5 of 9.26% for the Annual Period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund (CHEP) (Unaudited):
The AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund seeks performance results that correspond to the price and yield performance before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Market Neutral Value Index (“Target Index”). The Target Index, which is compiled by Dow Jones Indexes, is equal weighted, dollar neutral, and sector neutral. The Target Index rebalances monthly by identifying the most undervalued stocks as long positions and the most overvalued stocks as short positions, of approximately equal dollar amounts, within each sector. The Fund provides investors with the means of seeking the spread return between high and low ranked stocks. Undervalued stocks within each sector receive higher rankings and overvalued stocks receive lower rankings. For the Fund, value investing entails investing in securities that have below-average valuations based on ratios such as earnings to price,9 book to price,10 and cash flow from operations to price and shorting securities that have above-average valuations based on the same ratios. The performance of the Fund will depend on the difference in the rates of return between the long positions and the short positions.
During the Annual Period (July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019), the Fund’s market price return was -13.73% and its NAV return was -13.69%.1 The Target Index returned -14.07% during the same period. The Fund’s market price at June 30, 2019 was $20.21.
The Fund posted positive performance in five of the 12 months for the period with returns ranging from -6.92% to 2.29%. The best performing months for the Fund were July 2018 and January 2019 finishing up 2.29% and 2.19%, respectively. The worst performing months for the Fund were May 2019 and August 2018 finishing down -6.92% and -4.81%, respectively.
The Fund is sector neutral, dollar neutral and equal weighted, and the primary driver of performance is an isolated factor, in this case valuation based on cash flow to price, earnings to price, and book to price. During the Annual Period, the market rewarded higher valuation companies over lower valuation companies resulting in negative performance for the Fund.
The Fund had an annualized volatility5 of 8.59% for the Annual Period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund (DIVA) (Unaudited):
The AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund seeks performance results that correspond to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Hedged Dividend Income Index13 (“Target Index”). The Target Index, which is compiled by Indxx, is designed to generate a high current yield and capital appreciation. The Target Index rebalances monthly by identifying the highest dividend stocks as long positions, and the lowest dividend stocks as short positions. The Target Index invests in stocks with stable or growing dividends that trade at high yields. In an attempt to reduce risk, the Target Index shorts stocks in each sector which have unstable or low dividends. The Target Index is approximately 100% long and 50% short at the time of rebalances. The maximum weight for any sector in the long portfolio is 25%. Sector and industry weights in the short portfolio are approximately 50% of the size of the long sector weights. The Target Index has 100 long positions and approximately 150-200 short positions. The Fund provides investors with the means of seeking the spread return between low and high dividend stocks. The performance of the Fund will depend on the differences in the rates of return of these long positions and short positions.
During the Annual Period (July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019), the Fund’s market price return was 5.28% and its NAV return was 5.02%.1 The Target Index returned 5.89% during the same period. The Fund’s market price at June 30, 2019 was $23.91.
The Fund posted positive performance in seven of the 12 months of the period with returns ranging from -3.65% to 5.67%. The best performing months for the Fund were January 2019 and June 2019 finishing up 5.67% and 2.47%, respectively. The worst performing months for the Fund were December 2018 and May 2019 finishing down -3.65% and -3.07% respectively.
The Fund is designed as a long/short fund with approximately 100% long exposure and 50% short exposure, and the primary driver of performance is an isolated factor, in this case high equity dividend yield. During the Annual Period, rate sensitive stocks slightly outperformed lower yielders, resulting in a positive performance for the Fund.
The Fund had annualized volatility5 of 6.09% for the Annual Period.

The AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF, which commenced operations on May 23, 2019, seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation through exposure to a diversified portfolio of Global infrastructure equities.

Since the commencement of operations through June 30, 2019, the Fund’s market price return was 3.00% and its NAV return was 3.00%.1 The Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index returned 3.29% during the same period. The Fund’s market price at June 30, 2019 was $25.75.

Footnotes to Shareholder Letter and Management Discussion of Fund Performance:
| 1 | A Fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the Fund. NAV is calculated by taking the Fund’s total assets (including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. |

| (1) | Agreements may be terminated at will by either party without penalty. Payment is due at termination/maturity. |
| (2) | Reflects the floating financing rate, as of June 30, 2019, on the notional amount of the swap agreement paid to the counterparty or received from the counterparty, excluding any commissions. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the agreement or periodically during its term. |
| (3) | The 50 largest components of the referenced underlying Swap Index can be found athttps://www.agf.com/us/resources |
| (4) | The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at year end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or “net” these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
| (5) | Represents the “uncollateralized” amount due from or (to) the counterparty at year end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum “thresholds” that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from the counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default. |
| (6) | The Dow Jones U.S. High Momentum Total Return Index (DJTLMOT) is designed to measure the performance of 200 companies ranked as having the highest momentum. Momentum is calculated by ranking stocks by their 12-month historical total return, starting one month prior to reconstitution. Dividends are reinvested. |

| (1) | Agreements may be terminated at will by either party without penalty. Payment is due at termination/maturity. |
| (2) | Reflects the floating financing rate, as of June 30, 2019, on the notional amount of the swap agreement paid to the counterparty or received from the counterparty, excluding any commissions. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the agreement or periodically during its term. |
| (3) | The 50 largest components of the referenced underlying Swap Index can be found athttps://www.agf.com/us/resources |
| (4) | The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at year end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or “net” these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
| (5) | Represents the “uncollateralized” amount due from or (to) the counterparty at year end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum “thresholds” that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from the counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default. |
| (6) | The Dow Jones U.S. Relative Value Total Return Index (DJLSVT) is designed to measure the performance of 200 companies ranked as undervalued based on fundamentals. Value is calculated using a ranking process based on book value to price ratio, projected earnings per share to price ratio, and trailing 12-month operating cash flow to price ratio.

| (2) | Reflects the floating financing rate, as of June 30, 2019, on the notional amount of the swap agreement paid to the counterparty or received from the counterparty, excluding any commissions. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the agreement or periodically during its term. |
| (3) | The 50 largest components of the referenced underlying Swap Index can be found athttps://www.agf.com/us/resources |
| (4) | The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at year end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or “net” these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
| (5) | Represents the “uncollateralized” amount due from or (to) the counterparty at year end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum “thresholds” that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from the counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default. |
| (6) | The Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Long Size Total Return Index (DJTLSST) is designed to measure the performance of 200 companies ranked as the smallest in size. Size is determined by float-adjusted market capitalization at each rebalance. Dividends are reinvested. |

| (1) | Agreements may be terminated at will by either party without penalty. Payment is due at termination/maturity. |
| (2) | Reflects the floating financing rate, as of June 30, 2019, on the notional amount of the swap agreement paid to the counterparty or received from the counterparty, excluding any commissions. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the agreement or periodically during its term. |
| (3) | The 50 largest components of the referenced underlying Swap Index can be found athttps://www.agf.com/us/resources |
| (4) | The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at year end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or “net” these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
| (5) | Represents the “uncollateralized” amount due from or (to) the counterparty at year end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum “thresholds” that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from the counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default. |
| (6) | The Dow Jones U.S. Low Beta Total Return Index (DJTLABT) is designed to measure the performance of 200 companies ranked as having the lowest beta. Beta is calculated using weekly returns for the previous 52 weeks. Dividends are reinvested. |

| (3) | Not annualized for periods less than one year. |
| (4) | Had certain expenses not been waived/reimbursed during the periods, if applicable, total returns would have been lower. |
| (5) | Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period and redemption on the last day of the period at net asset value. |
| (6) | Market value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at market value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period and redemption on the last day of the period at market value. The market value is determined by the mid point of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 p.m. from the NYSE Arca, Inc. Exchange. Market value returns may vary from net asset value returns. |
| (7) | In-kind transactions are not included in portfolio turnover calculations. |
| (8) | The amount shown for a share outstanding throughout the period is not in accordance with the aggregate net realized and unrealized gain (loss) for that period because of the timing of sales and repurchases of the Fund shares in relation to fluctuating market value of the investments in the Fund. |
| (9) | FFCM reimbursed the Funds for losses incurred related to either a failure to rebalance at month-end or a trade error. The impact was an increase of $0.10, $0.05, $0.08, and $0.02 to the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments per share and an increase of 0.39%, 0.17%, 0.21%, and 0.11% to the Funds total returns for AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund and AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund, respectively.

| (15) | The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of fees and expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds in which the Fund is invested. This ratio does not reflect the indirect expenses of the underlying non-affiliated Funds in which it invests. Additionally, the adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees in an amount equal to any acquired fund fees and expense incurred by the Fund from its investments in a Fund advised by the Adviser. If the ratio had included these affiliated indirect expenses, the ratio would have been higher. |

1. Organization
FQF Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, was formed on November 19, 2009. The Trust currently includes seven operational series of the AGFiQ Funds: AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund, AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund, AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF, and AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF (each, a “Fund”; collectively, the “Funds”). AGF Investments LLC (formerly known as FFCM, LLC) (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to each Fund. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended.
Both AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF and AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF (each, an “Active ETF”) commenced operations on May 23, 2019.
The investment objective of AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund, and AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund (collectively, the “Target Index Funds”) is to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of a specified benchmark index (each, a “Target Index”). The AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances in securities of infrastructure-related companies located throughout the world, including the U.S. and infrastructure-related investments. The AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF will operate as a “fund-of-funds” by investing primarily in sector-based ETFs and other ETFs. Each Fund is classified as a “diversified” Fund. There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their respective investment objectives.
The Target Index Funds had no operations from their initial seeding date until each Fund’s respective commencement of operations date other than matters related to their organization and sale and issuance of 4,000 shares of beneficial interest in AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund to the Adviser at the net asset value (“NAV”) of $25.00 per share.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the Funds ultimately realize upon sale of the securities.
Investment Company Modernization
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and new forms (Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN), as well as amendments to existing forms and rules, including Regulation S-X, to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X include, among other changes, requiring standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements. The Funds have included disclosures in these financial statements to reflect the amendments to Regulation S-X. These amendments had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations. The filing compliance date for the Funds for Form N-PORT is no later than April 30, 2020, reflecting data as of March 31, 2020.
On August 17, 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain disclosure requirements that have become duplicative, overlapping, or outdated in light of other Commission disclosure requirements, GAAP, or changes in

the information environment. The amendments include, among other items, to require presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributable earnings on the balance sheet, and to require presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributions to shareholders, except for tax return of capital distributions and to delete the requirement for disclosure of undistributed net investment income on the statement of changes in net assets. The amendments are intended to simplify and update the disclosure of information to investors. The amendments were effective on November 5, 2018. The adoption had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations. In connection with implementing the changes noted above, the distributions to shareholders during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, which were previously reported as distributions from net investment income & net realized gain (where applicable), have been reclassified as distributions from distributable earnings to conform to the current period presentation on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Investment Valuation
The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. NAV per share is computed by dividing a Fund’s net assets (i.e. total assets, less liabilities) by the number of shares it has outstanding.
The value of each Fund’s securities held long and securities held short is based on such securities’ closing price on local markets when available. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below. If a security’s market price is not readily available, or if the value of a security the Funds hold has been materially affected by events occurring before the Funds’ pricing time but after the close of the primary markets or exchanges on which the security is traded, the security will be fair valued by Pricing Procedures the Funds’ Valuation Committee adheres to in accordance with the Trust’s procedures which were approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
Each Fund may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when the value of a Fund’s security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of such security) or trading in such security has been suspended or halted. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Target Index. This may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to track its Target Index. Securities of non-exchange traded and exchange traded investment companies are valued at their NAV and market value, respectively.
Generally, each Fund prices, except the Active ETFs, its swap agreements daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors (unless the underlying reference security is closed or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the quotations will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing source approved by the Trustees) and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements or reset dates, as appropriate.
The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs) and (2) the Funds’ own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
| • | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. |

| • | Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates,prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
| • | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fairvalue of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2019 for each Fund based upon the three levels defined above:

Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
Each Fund, except AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF, may invest in REITs. Equity REITs invest primarily in real property while mortgage REITs make construction, development and long term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the REIT, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment.
REITs are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers, self-liquidation and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax free income status under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and failing to be exempt from registration as a registered investment company under the 1940 Act.
Distributions from REIT investments may be comprised of return of capital, capital gains and income. The actual character of amounts received during the year is not known until after the REIT’s fiscal year end. The Funds

record the character of distributions received from REITs during the year based on estimates available. The characterization of distributions received by the Funds may be subsequently revised based on information received from the REITs after their tax reporting periods have concluded.
Short Sales
Each Fund, except the Active ETFs, enters into short sales. A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own. To complete such a transaction, a Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. A Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by borrowing the same security from another lender, purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement or paying the lender an amount equal to the cost of purchasing the security. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Until the security is replaced, a Fund is required to repay the lender any dividends it receives, or interest which accrues, during the period of the loan. To borrow the security, a Fund also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. The net proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, until the short position is closed out. A Fund also will incur transaction costs in effecting short sales.
A Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund closes out the short sale. A Fund will realize a gain if the price of the security declines in price between those dates. The amount of any gain will be decreased, and the amount of any loss increased, by the amount of the premium, dividends or interest a Fund may be required to pay, if any, in connection with a short sale. Short sales may be subject to unlimited losses as the price of a security can rise infinitely.
Whenever a Fund engages in short sales, it earmarks or segregates liquid securities or cash in an amount that, when combined with the amount of collateral deposited with the broker in connection with the short sale (other than the proceeds of the short sale), equals the current market value of the security sold short. The earmarked or segregated assets are marked-to-market daily and cannot be sold or liquidated unless replaced with liquid assets of equal value.
Funds may not be able to borrow stocks that are short positions in a Target Index as their supply may be insufficient or the cost to borrow may be prohibitively expensive due to market or stock specific conditions. Under such circumstances, the Funds may not achieve their investment objectives.
Swap Agreements
Each Fund, except the Active ETFs, may enter into swap agreements. Certain Funds currently enter into equity or equity index swap agreements for purposes of attempting to gain exposure to an index or group of securities without actually purchasing those securities. Although some swap agreements may be exchange-traded, others are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a day to more than one year. Most, if not all, swap agreements entered into by the Funds will be two-party contracts. In connection with the Funds’ positions in a swaps contract, each Fund will segregate liquid assets or will otherwise cover its position in accordance with applicable SEC requirements. In such a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index or group of securities. The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.
A Fund may enter into swap agreements to invest in a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities in circumstances in which direct investment is restricted for legal reasons or is otherwise impracticable. The counterparty to any swap agreement will typically be a bank, investment banking firm or

broker/dealer. On a long swap, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the Fund the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap agreement would have increased in value had it been invested in the particular stocks, plus the dividends that would have been received on those stocks.
A Fund agrees to pay to the counterparty a floating rate of interest on the notional amount of the swap agreement plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such stocks. Therefore, the return to a Fund on any swap agreement will generally be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the stocks less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount. As a trading technique, the Adviser may substitute physical securities with a swap agreement having risk characteristics substantially similar to the underlying securities.
Swap agreements typically are settled on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with a Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Payments may be made at the conclusion of a swap agreement or periodically during its term. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to swap agreements is limited to the net amount of payments that a Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that such Fund is contractually entitled to receive. The net amount of the excess, if any, of a Fund’s obligations over its entitlements with respect to each equity swap will be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets, having an aggregate value at least equal to such accrued excess, will be earmarked or segregated by a Fund’s custodian; this cash and liquid assets cannot be sold unless replaced with cash or liquid assets of equal value. Inasmuch as these transactions are entered into for hedging purposes or are offset by earmarked or segregated cash or liquid assets, as permitted by applicable law, these transactions will not be construed to constitute senior securities within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and will not be subject to a Fund’s borrowing restrictions.
The swap market has grown substantially in recent periods with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid in comparison with the markets for other similar instruments which are traded in the OTC market. The Adviser, under the oversight of the Trustees, is responsible for determining and monitoring the liquidity of the Funds’ transactions in swap agreements.
In the normal course of business, a Fund enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements with certain counterparties for derivative transactions. These agreements contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations. Certain of the Funds’ ISDA agreements contain provisions that require the Funds to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Funds’ NAV over specific periods of time, which may or may not be exclusive of redemptions. If the Funds were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, counterparties to the ISDA agreements could elect to terminate such ISDA agreements and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any, under the relevant ISDA agreement. Pursuant to the terms of its ISDA agreements, the Funds will have already collateralized its liability under such agreements, in some cases only in excess of certain threshold amounts.
The Funds noted below used swap contracts to simulate full investment in each respective Fund’s Target Index. The following represents the average monthly outstanding swap contracts for the year ended June 30, 2019:

Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionally among all series of the Trust.
Taxes and Distributions
Each of the Funds intends to qualify (or continue to qualify) as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
As of June 30, 2019 (the Funds’ tax year end), management of the Funds has reviewed the open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Funds are also 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 12 months. On an ongoing basis, management will monitor the tax positions taken to determine if adjustment to conclusions are necessary based on factors including but not limited to further implementation on guidance expected from FASB and ongoing analysis of tax law, regulation, and interpretations thereof.
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to improve a Fund’s tracking to its Target Index or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Net capital gains are distributed at least annually.
The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown on the Financial Highlights due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period; however, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry on expiration date. Post-enactment capital loss carry forwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous law. For the tax year ended June 30, 2019, the following Funds had

3. Investment Transactions and Related Income
Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are accounted for one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of any applicable foreign withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Funds are presented separately on the Statements of Operations as “Special Dividends” and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
4. Investment Management Fees
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser manages the investment and reinvestment of the Funds’ assets and administers the affairs of the Funds under the oversight of the Board. Under the Advisory Agreement, the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund, and AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund each pay the Adviser a management fee for its services payable on a monthly basis at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund, AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund, AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF, and AGFiQ Hedged U.S. Equity ETF each pay the Adviser a management fee for its services payable on a monthly basis at the annual rate of 0.45% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Prior to December 6, 2018, the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund and the AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund each paid the Adviser a management fee at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive the fees and reimburse expenses of each Target Index Fund until at least November 1, 2019, and each Active ETF until May 15, 2022, so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, dividend, interest and brokerage expenses for short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”), and extraordinary expenses) (“Operating Expenses”) are limited to 0.75% of average daily net assets for each of the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund, and AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund and 0.45% for each of the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund, AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund, AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF, and AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF (collectively, the “Expense Caps”). In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees in an amount equal to any AFFE incurred by the Fund from its investments in a fund advised by the Adviser. AFFE are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of share in other investment companies. Because AFFE are not direct expenses of the Fund, they are not reflected on the Funds’ financial statements. This undertaking can only be changed with the approval of the Trustees.
Prior to December 6, 2018, the Operating Expenses were limited to 0.75% of average daily net assets for each of the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund and the AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, management fee waivers and expense reimbursements were as follows:

Each Fund has agreed that it will repay the Adviser for fees and expenses forgone or reimbursed for the Fund pursuant to the contractual expense limitation described above. Such repayment would increase a Fund’s expenses, and would appear on the Statements of Operations as “Repayment of prior expenses waived and/or reimbursed by the Adviser.” However, repayment would only occur up to the point of each Fund’s expense cap.
Any such repayment must be made within three years from the date the expense was borne by the Adviser. Any such repayment made under any prior expense cap cannot cause the Fund’s Operating Expenses to exceed the lower of 0.75% of average daily net assets for the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund, and AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund and 0.45% for the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund, AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund, AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF, and AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF or the annual rate of daily net assets for the Fund under the terms of a prior expense cap. For the year ended June 30, 2019, none of the Funds repaid expenses to the Adviser.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, it was determined that the Funds had been overcharged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), the Funds’ administrator and custodian, for class action filing fees spanning over several years and that the Funds were entitled to a reimbursement for these charges. Since the Funds were operating over the expense limitation, and the Adviser was reimbursing each Fund for expenses in excess of the limitation during the periods of overbilling, the reimbursement amounts were paid directly to the Adviser.
Management fee waivers and expense reimbursements amounts eligible for repayment were reduced accordingly. The difference in the management fee waivers and expense reimbursements amount totals for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and the amounts eligible for repayment in 2021 are due to this reimbursement.
Below are the reimbursement totals that were applied against each year’s amounts eligible for repayment:

5. Administration and Custodian Fees
JPMorgan acts as administrator (the “Administrator”) and custodian to the Funds. The Administrator provides the Funds with all required general administrative services. For these services, each Fund shall pay the Administrator monthly, a fee accrued daily and based on average net assets and subject to certain minimum levels. The Administrator pays all fees and expenses that are directly related to the services provided by the Administrator to the Funds; each Fund reimburses the Administrator for all fees and expenses incurred by the Administrator which are not directly related to the services the Administrator provides to the Funds under the service agreement. Each Fund may also reimburse the Administrator for such out-of-pocket expenses as incurred by the Administrator in the performance of its duties. As custodian, JPMorgan holds cash, securities and other assets of the Funds as required by the 1940 Act.
6. Distribution, Service Plan and Fund Officers
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as the Funds’ Distributor. The Trust has adopted a distribution and service plan (“Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay distribution fees to the Distributor and other firms that provide distribution and shareholder services (“Service Providers”). If a Service Provider provides such services, the Funds may pay fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
No distribution or service fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees were charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in the Funds and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC (“FFOS”) (formerly Foreside Compliance Services, LLC), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer as well as certain additional compliance support functions to the Funds. Foreside Management Services, LLC (“FMS”), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides a Principal Financial Officer and Treasurer to the Funds. Neither FFOS nor FMS have a role in determining the investment policies of the Trust or Funds, or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Trust or a Fund.
7. Issuance and Redemption of Fund Shares
The Funds are exchange-traded funds or ETFs. Individual Fund shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer and investors may pay a commission to such broker-dealers in connection with their purchase or sale. The price of Fund shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). Information regarding how often the shares of the Funds traded on the Exchange at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV of the Funds for the most recently completed five fiscal years and the most recently completed calendar quarters can be found at www.agf.com/us. This information represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
The Fund will only issue or redeem shares aggregated into blocks of 50,000 shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ Distributor. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party,” (i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process of the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC) (“Clearing Process”), or (2) a participant of DTC (“DTC Participant”), and, in each case, must have executed an agreement (“Participation Agreement”) with the distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units. The Funds will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a basket of assets that the Funds specify each day.
Shares are listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc.TM and are publicly traded. If you buy or sell Fund shares on the secondary market, you will pay or receive the market price, which may be higher or lower than NAV. Your transaction will be priced at NAV if you purchase or redeem Fund shares in Creation Units.
Authorized Participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Funds’ Administrator to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Additionally a portion of the transaction fee is used to offset transactional costs typically accrued in the Funds’ custody expenses directly related to the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such fees would be included in the receivable for capital shares issued on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Transaction fees assessed during the period, which are included in the proceeds or cost from shares issued or redeemed on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, were as follows:

10. Principal Risks
Some principal risks apply to all Funds, while others are specific to the investment strategy of certain Funds. Each Fund may be subject to other principal risks in addition to these identified principal risks. This section discusses certain principal risks encountered by the Funds. A more complete description of the principal risks to which each Fund is subject is included in the Funds’ prospectus.
Asset Allocation Risk: If the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among underlying ETFs does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. The investment styles employed by the underlying ETFs may not be complementary, which could adversely affect the performance of the Fund.
Investments in Exchange-Traded Funds Risk: The risks of investing in securities of ETFs typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the underlying ETF invests. ETFs in which the AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF invests are also generally subject to the ETF Risks described above. In addition, the Fund bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the underlying ETF, which may have an adverse

impact on the Fund’s operating expenses and performance and may affect the value of your investment. To the extent the Fund invests significantly in the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund (the “Market Neutral ETF”), which is also managed by the Adviser, or similar lower beta ETFs available in the marketplace, it will be subject to Anti-Beta Risk, Leverage Risk, Market Neutral Risk, Passive Investment Risk, Short Sale Risk (each as defined below), in addition to the following risks applicable to investing in the Market Neutral ETF:
Single Factor Risk: The Market Neutral ETF invests in securities based on a single investment factor and is designed to be used as part of broader asset allocation strategies. An investment in the Market Neutral ETF is not a complete investment program.
Tracking Error Risk: The investment performance of the Market Neutral ETF may diverge from that of its target index due to, among other things, fees and expenses paid by the Market Neutral ETF that are not reflected in its target index. If the Market Neutral ETF is small, it may experience greater tracking error. If the value of short positions exceeds the value of the long positions, the investment performance of the Market Neutral ETF will likely diverge from that of its target index.
Anti-Beta Risk: For AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund and AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF, there is a risk that the present and futurevolatility of a security, relative to the market index, will not be the same as it has historically been and thus that the Fund will not be invested in the less volatile securities in the universe. In addition, the Fund may be more than the universe since it will have short exposure to the most volatile stocks in the universe and long exposure to the least volatile stocks in the universe. Volatile stocks are subject to sharp swings in value.
High Dividend Risk: For AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund, a company may reduce or eliminate itsdividend. As a result, the present and future dividend of a security may not be the same as it has historically been and the Fund may not end up invested in high dividend securities. The Fund may be more volatile than the universe since it will have short exposure to low dividend paying stocks in the universe. In addition, there may be periods when the high dividend style is out of favor, and during which the investment performance of a fund using a high dividend strategy may suffer.
Momentum Risk: For the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund, momentum investing emphasizesinvesting in securities that have had better recent performance compared to other securities. Securities may be more volatile than a broad cross-section of securities, and momentum may be an indicator that a security’s price is peaking. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style is out of favor, and during which the investment performance of a fund using a momentum strategy may suffer. Momentum can turn quickly and cause significant variation from other types of investments. The Fund may experience significant losses if momentum stops, turns or otherwise behaves differently than predicted.
REIT Risk: Through its investments in REITs, a Fund will be subject to the risks of investing in the real estate market, including decreases in property values and revenues and increases in interest rates.
Derivatives Risk: Derivatives, including swap agreements and futures contracts, may involve risks different from, or greater than, those associated with more traditional investments. As a result of investing in derivatives, a Fund could lose more than the amount it invests. Derivatives may be highly illiquid, and a Fund may not be able to close out or sell a derivative position at a particular time or at an anticipated price. Derivatives also may be subject to counterparty risk, which includes the risk that a loss may be sustained by a Fund as a result of the insolvency or bankruptcy of, or other non-compliance by, the other party to the transaction.
Short Sale Risk: If a Fund sells a stock short and subsequently has to buy the security back at a higher price, the Fund will realize a loss on the transaction. The amount a Fund could lose on a short sale is potentially unlimited because there is no limit on the price a shorted security might attain (as compared to a long position, where the maximum loss is the amount invested). The use of short sales increases the exposure of a Fund to the market, and may increase losses and the volatility of returns. If the short portfolio (made up of the securities

with the lowest momentum within each sector) outperforms the long portfolio (made up of the securities with the highest momentum within each sector), the performance of a Fund would be negatively affected. In addition, when a Fund is selling a stock short, it must maintain a segregated account of cash and/or liquid assets with its custodian to satisfy collateral and regulatory requirements. As a result, a Fund may maintain high levels of cash or liquid assets.
Size Risk: For the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund, size investing entails investing in securities withinthe universe that have smaller market capitalizations and shorting securities within the universe that have larger market capitalizations. The Fund seeks to capture excessive returns of smaller firms (by market capitalization) relative to their larger counterparts. There may be periods when the size style is out of favor, and during which the investment performance of a fund using a size strategy may suffer.
Value Risk: For the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund, value investing entails investing in securitiesissued by companies that may be perceived as undervalued may fail to appreciate for long periods of time and may never realize their full potential value. The index provider may be unsuccessful in creating an index that emphasizes undervalued securities. Value securities have generally performed better than non-value securities during periods of economic recovery. Value securities may go in and out of favor over time.
Secondary Market Trading Risk: Investors buying or selling Fund shares in the secondary market may pay brokerage commissions or other charges, which may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Fund shares. Although the Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Fund shares on the Exchange may be halted.
Infrastructure Investment Risk: The Fund’s investments in infrastructure-related securities will expose the Fund to potential adverse economic, regulatory, political, legal and other changes affecting such investments. Issuers of securities in infrastructure-related businesses are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental or other regulations and the effects of economic slowdowns. Rising interest rates could lead to higher financing costs and reduced earnings for infrastructure companies.
Authorized Participants Concentration Risk: The Funds have a limited number of Authorized Participants.To the extent they cannot or are otherwise unwilling to engage in creation and redemption transactions with the Funds and no other Authorized Participant steps in, shares of the Funds may trade like closed-end fund shares at a significant discount to NAV and may face delisting from the securities exchange.
Concentration Risk: To the extent that a Fund’s Target Index is concentrated in a particular industry, the Fundalso will be expected to be concentrated in that industry and may subject the Fund to a greater loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting that industry.
Equity Investing Risk: An investment in a Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund holdingequity securities, such as market fluctuations. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally.
Hedging Risk: The Fund’s hedging strategies against declines in security prices, financial markets, exchange rates and interest rates may not be successful, and even if they are successful, the Fund’s exposure to a certain risk may not be fully hedged at all times and the Fund may still lose money on a hedged position.
Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in foreign securities involve risks that differ from investments in securities of U.S. issuers because of unique political, economic and market conditions. Foreign markets, especially those in less developed economies, are generally more illiquid than U.S. markets, meaning that it could be harder for the Fund to dispose of a particular security than if it were traded on a U.S. exchange.

Foreign securities markets may also have high transaction costs, limited legal recourse, and unreliable or untimely information. The value of foreign securities may also be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates.
Foreign Currency Risk: Investing in securities that trade in and receive revenues in foreign currencies creates risk because foreign currencies may decline relative to the U.S. dollar, resulting in a potential loss to the Fund. When the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar value of an investment denominated in that currency will typically fall. A stronger U.S. dollar will reduce returns for U.S. investors while a weak U.S. dollar will increase those returns.
Depositary Receipts Risk: Depositary receipts subject the Fund generally to the same risks as if it were investing in the underlying foreign securities directly, including political and economic risks that differ from investing in securities of U.S. issuers. In addition, because the underlying securities may be trading on a non-U.S. market, the value of the underlying security may decline, sometimes rapidly, at a time when U.S. markets are closed and the Adviser may not be able to take appropriate actions to mitigate losses to the Fund.
Emerging Markets Risk: Investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market economies (including frontier market economies) are generally riskier than investments in securities of issuers from more developed economies. Emerging market economies generally have less developed and more volatile securities trading markets with untimely and unreliable information. Emerging market economies also generally have less developed legal and accounting systems, and a greater likelihood of nationalization or confiscation of assets and companies than do developed economies. These same risks exist and may be greater in frontier markets.
Cash Transactions Risk: The Fund may effect creations and redemptions partly or wholly for cash, rather than through in-kind distributions of securities. Accordingly, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and it may subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the Fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that primarily or wholly effects creations and redemptions in-kind. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities markets are relatively illiquid at the time the Fund must sell securities and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in-kind, will be passed on to Authorized Participants in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. As a result of these factors, the spreads between the bid and the offered prices of the Fund’s shares may be wider than those of shares of ETFs that primarily or wholly transact in-kind.
Flash Crash Risk: Sharp price declines in securities owned by a Fund may trigger trading halts, which mayresult in a Fund’s shares trading in the market at an increasingly large discount to NAV during part (or all) of a trading day.
Leverage Risk: A Fund’s use of short selling and swap agreements allows the Fund to obtain investmentexposures greater than it could otherwise obtain and specifically to effectively increase, or leverage, its total long and short investment exposures to more than its NAV by a significant amount. Use of leverage tends to magnify increases or decreases in a Fund’s returns and may lead to a more volatile share price. Leverage may magnify a Fund’s gains or losses.
Market Neutral Style Risk: During a “bull” market, when most equity securities and long-only equity ETFs areincreasing in value, a Fund’s short positions will likely cause the Fund to underperform the overall U.S. equity market and such ETFs. In addition, because a Fund employs a dollar-neutral strategy to achieve market neutrality, the beta of the Fund (i.e., the relative volatility of the Fund as compared to the market) will vary over time and may not be equal to zero.

Master Limited Partnership Risk: Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) are commonly taxed as partnershipsand publicly traded on national securities exchanges. For AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund investments in common units of MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters that affect the MLP. MLPs are commonly treated as partnerships that are “qualified publicly traded partnerships” for federal income tax purposes, which commonly pertain to the use of natural resources. Changes in U.S. tax laws could revoke the pass-through attributes that provide the tax efficiencies that make MLPs attractive investment structures.
Passive Investment Risk: The Funds are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track aFund’s Target Index. As a result, a Fund expects to hold constituent securities of its Target Index regardless of their current or projected performance. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause a Fund’s return to be lower than if the Fund employed an active strategy.
Portfolio Management Risk: The investment strategies, practices and risk analysis used by the Adviser may not produce the desired results. In addition, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective, including during a period in which the Adviser takes temporary positions in response to unusual or adverse market, economic or political conditions, or other unusual or abnormal circumstances. There is also the inherent risk in the portfolio manager’s ability to anticipate changing market conditions that can adversely affect the value of the Fund’s holdings.
Portfolio Turnover Risk: A Fund’s investment strategy may result in higher portfolio turnover rates. A highportfolio turnover rate (e.g., over 100%) may result in higher transaction costs to a Fund, including brokerage commissions, and negatively impact a Fund’s performance. Such portfolio turnover also may generate net short-term capital gains.
Premium-Discount Risk: Fund shares may trade above or below their NAV. The market prices of Fund shareswill generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Fund shares.
The Funds’ prospectuses contain additional information regarding the principal risks associated with an investment in a Fund.
11. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, a Fund enters into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. Based on experience, the Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.
12. New Accounting Pronouncements
On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which amends the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820. The amendments of ASU 2018-13 include new, eliminated, and modified disclosure requirements of ASC 820. In addition, the amendments clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration of entities when evaluating disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosure upon issuance of this ASU. The Funds have early adopted ASU 2018-13 for these financial statements.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of AGFIQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund, AGFIQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund, AGFIQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund, AGFIQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund, AGFIQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund, AGFIQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF and AGFIQ Global Infrastructure ETF (seven of the funds constituting FQF Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of June 30, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2019, (or for AGFIQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF and AGFIQ Global Infrastructure ETF for the period May 23, 2019 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2019), the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2019 (or for AGFIQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF and AGFIQ Global Infrastructure ETF for the period May 23, 2019 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2019), including the related notes,and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of June 30, 2019, the results of their operations for the year ended June 30, 2019, (or for AGFIQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF and AGFIQ Global Infrastructure ETF for the period May 23, 2019 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2019), and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2019 (or for AGFIQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF and AGFIQ Global Infrastructure ETF for the period May 23, 2019 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2019), and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits providea reasonable basis for our opinion.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
June 30, 2019
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs for, such as brokerage commissions, purchasing and selling shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, other operational and investment related expenses. The expense examples below are 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.
Actual Expenses
The actual expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period ended June 30, 2019.
The first line in the following tables 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 under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The hypothetical expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period ended June 30, 2019.
The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds 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 transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions on the purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line for each Fund in the table 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board Consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement
At a meeting held on February 22, 2019, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of FQF Trust (“Trust”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust or FFCM, LLC (“FFCM” or the “Adviser”) (including its affiliates) (such Trustees, the “Independent Trustees”), approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between FFCM and the Trust, on behalf of the AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Momentum Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Value Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Size Fund, AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund (“BTAL”) (such four series, the “Market Neutral ETFs”), AGFiQ Hedged Dividend Income Fund (“DIVA”), AGFiQ Equal Weighted High Momentum Factor Fund, AGFiQ Equal Weighted Low Beta Factor Fund, AGFiQ Equal Weighted Value Factor Fund (such three series, the “Long-Only ETFs”) (collectively, the “ETFs”).
In evaluating the Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed materials furnished by FFCM and met with senior representatives of FFCM. The Board also considered materials that they had received at past meetings, including routine quarterly meetings, relating to the nature, extent and quality of FFCM’s services, including information concerning each ETF’s advisory fee, net expense ratio, and performance. Generally, the Board considered the following factors, among others, in connection with its renewal of the Agreement: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by FFCM; (2) the investment performance of each ETF; (3) the costs of the services provided; (4) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as each ETF grows; (5) whether fee levels reflect such potential economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of investors; and (6) any other benefits derived by FFCM from its relationship with the ETFs.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services; Investment Performance
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the portfolio management and other personnel of FFCM who perform services for the ETFs, the compliance function of FFCM, and the financial condition of FFCM. In this regard, among other things, the Board noted FFCM’s history of compliance as well as enhancements it had made to its compliance function in connection with its transaction with AGF Management Limited (“AGF”). In addition, the Board considered the successful integration to date of many of FFCM’s operations into AGF. Further, the Board evaluated the integrity of FFCM’s personnel, the experience of the portfolio management team, including in managing long-only, long-short and market neutral strategies, and the management of each operational ETF in accordance with its investment objective and policies. The Board also considered the demonstrated ability of the portfolio managers to manage each ETF to closely track a target index.
With respect to the performance of each Market Neutral ETF, the Board considered each Market Neutral ETF’s performance since inception and for the last quarter, one-year, three-year and five-year periods. In this regard, among other things, the Board considered each Market Neutral ETF’s total returns compared to the total returns of its target index and one or more broad-based benchmark indexes, as well as one or more funds identified by FFCM as somewhat comparable (“Comparator Funds”). With respect to the Market Neutral ETFs’ performance relative to the Comparator Funds, the Board considered that the Comparator Funds do not employ comparable investment strategies inasmuch as the Comparator Funds do not pursue market neutral strategies, but rather only long-short strategies and do not pursue single-“factor” strategies (i.e., momentum, value, size, low beta), but rather multi-factor strategies (i.e., a combination of value, momentum, etc.). The Board also considered FFCM’s explanation that such differences adversely impacted the performance of the Market Neutral ETFs as compared to their Comparator Funds over the periods reviewed. The Board then observed that, based on these comparisons, the Market Neutral ETFs performed variably relative to their Comparator Funds and the broad-based benchmark indexes for the periods considered. In determining to renew the Agreement, the Board observed that each Market Neutral ETF closely tracked its target index before fees and expenses. With respect to the absolute performance of the Market Neutral ETFs, the Board acknowledged FFCM’s explanation that, since the Market Neutral ETFs’ inception in 2011, the market had generally moved upward and, as a result, market neutral strategies had generally underperformed.

Board Consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)
With respect to the performance of DIVA, the Board considered its performance since inception and for the last quarter, one-year, and three-year periods. In this regard, among other things, the Board considered DIVA’s total returns compared to the total returns its target index and of its Comparator Funds. The Board observed that, based on the comparisons provided, DIVA had underperformed its Comparator Funds for certain periods reviewed. In determining to renew the Agreement, the Board observed that DIVA closely tracked its target index before fees and expenses and considered FFCM’s representation that DIVA’s strategy was designed to be, and was, less volatile than Comparator Funds.
Because the ETFs are index-based funds, the Board considered the quality of each ETF’s target index and each ETF’s tracking error relative to such index. In this context, the Board considered the performance of each Market Neutral ETF’s target index and data showing that each Market Neutral ETF’s target index appropriately identifies component securities that are representative of the relevant investment factor (i.e., momentum, value, size, low beta). In light of this information, the Board considered the likelihood that the target indexes of the Long-Only Funds would also be high quality and appropriate for their Funds. In addition, the Board considered each operational ETF’s tracking error vis-à-vis its target index before and after fees and expenses, as well as FFCM’s explanation of the disproportionate impact fees and expenses have on the ETFs due to their assets under management. The Board also noted management’s assertion that the ETFs provide investors with unique investment solutions that appeal to asset allocators for inclusion in model portfolios, notwithstanding their absolute performance, due to their passive nature and predictable performance in the various market conditions that have prevailed since their inception. Based on the information considered, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services supported renewal of the Agreement.
Fund Expenses; Cost of Services; Economies of Scale; Related Benefits
The Board reviewed information comparing each operational ETF’s contractual management fee rate, as a percentage of average net assets, to Comparator Funds. The Board also reviewed information comparing each operational ETF’s net expense ratio to the net expense ratios of Comparator Funds, taking into account, as applicable, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, expense waivers and reimbursements. The Board considered the reduction in advisory fees for BTAL and DIVA during the most recent year and FFCM’s explanation that the recent reduction in management fees for DIVA and BTAL would make each Fund more competitive from a pricing perspective. The Board also noted that FFCM did not provide advisory services to any other fund or account pursuing an investment objective substantially similar to any of the ETFs. Based on the information described, the Board concluded that each ETF’s advisory fee and total expense ratio were reasonable.
The Board also reviewed the overall profitability to FFCM of the ETFs and evaluated the services that FFCM provides to each ETF for potential economies of scale. In this regard, the Board noted that since the ETFs’ inception, the Funds have not gathered significant assets and FFCM has generally subsidized the expense of their operations by reimbursing expenses and waiving fees. Based on this and other information, the Board determined that economies of scale were not a material factor to be considered in connection with the renewal of the Agreement.
With respect to ancillary (or fall-out) benefits being received by FFCM as a result of its relationship with the ETFs, the Board considered FFCM’s accrual of soft dollars in connection with trading transactions for the ETFs. Based on the information considered, the Board did not deem such benefits to be material to their consideration of the renewal of the Agreement.
Based on their review of the facts and circumstances related to the Agreement, the Board concluded that each ETF and its shareholders could benefit from FFCM’s continued management of its portfolio. Thus, the Board determined that the renewal of the Agreement with respect to each ETF was appropriate and in the best interest of each ETF and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Board did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. After

reviewing a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to the Board’s consideration of the Agreement, and after the Independent Trustees met privately with such counsel, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the advisory arrangement, as outlined in the Agreement, was fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, expenses incurred and such other matters as the Board considered relevant.

Board Consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)
At its regular meeting on May 13, 2019 the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of FQF Trust (“Trust”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust or AGF Investments, LLC (“AGFI” or the “Adviser”) (including its affiliates) (such Trustees, the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Agreement”) for two new series of the Trust: the AGFiQ Global Infrastructure ETF (“GLIF”) and AGFiQ Dynamic Hedged U.S. Equity ETF (“USHG”) (each a “New ETF,” and together the “New ETFs”). GLIF is an actively-managed global infrastructure equity exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), and USHG is actively-managed, U.S. equity dynamic hedge ETF that operates as a “fund of funds” through its investments in other ETFs. In evaluating the Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed materials furnished by AGFI and met with senior representatives of AGFI regarding their personnel and operations. Generally, the Board considered the following factors, among others, in connection with its approval of the Agreement: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by AGFI; (2) the investment performance of accounts managed by the AGFI (or its affiliates) with investment strategies comparable to those of each New ETF; (3) the costs of the services to be provided; (4) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as each New ETF grows; (5) whether fee levels reflect such potential economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of investors; and (6) any other benefits potentially derived by AGFI (or its affiliates) from its relationship with the ETFs. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board evaluated the terms of the Agreement, the overall fairness of it to each New ETF and whether the Agreement was in the best interests of such fund and its shareholders.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the portfolio management and other personnel of AGFI who will provide services for each New ETF, the compliance function of AGFI, and the financial condition of AGFI. In this regard, among other things, the Board noted AGFI’s history of compliance. Further, the Board evaluated the integrity of AGFI’s personnel, the experience of the portfolio management team, and the management of each New ETF in accordance with its investment objective and policies.
Because the New ETFs do not have a performance history, the Board considered other indicia of the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the New ETFs under the Agreement. In this regard, the Board received presentations on the proprietary, multi-factor quantitative models underlying the New ETFs’ strategies and considered the performance of other accounts managed by AGFI (or its affiliates) with investment strategies comparable to each New ETF. In particular, with respect to USHG, the Board considered the performance of a Canadian-based fund managed by an affiliate of AGFI with substantially similar investment strategies as USHG. With respect to GLIF, the Board considered the performance of a separately managed account managed by an affiliate of AGFI with a substantially similar investment strategy to GLIF. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the New ETFs.
Fund Expenses; Cost of Services; Economies of Scale; Related Benefits
The Board reviewed information comparing each New ETF’s proposed contractual management fee rate, as a percentage of average net assets, to one or more funds identified by AGFI as somewhat comparable (“Comparator Funds”). In this regard, the Board reviewed tables comparing each New ETF’s advisory fee and net expense ratio to the Comparator Funds. The Board considered that the expense limitation agreement for each New ETF would limit the total annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, dividend, interest and brokerage expenses for short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.45% of average net assets, which is consistent with the total annual operating expense ratios of other AGFiQ ETFs. Further, the Board considered the advisory fee levels of other accounts

managed by the Adviser (or its affiliates) pursuant to substantially similar investment strategies as the New ETFs. The Board concluded that the advisory fee and net expense ratio proposed for each New ETF were reasonable.
The Board discussed any anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services AGFI would provide to each New ETF. Noting that the New ETFs were just commencing operations, the Board concluded it was too soon to evaluate properly the potential economies of scale for the New ETFs and the profitability of the New ETFs to the Adviser. Accordingly, the Board concluded that profitability and economies of scale were not material factors to be considered in connection with the current approval of the Agreement.
With respect to ancillary (or fall-out) potential benefits AGFI (and its affiliates) may receive as a result of its relationship with the New ETFs, the Board considered the potential for AGFI to accrue soft dollars in connection with trading transactions for the New ETFs. The Board also considered that, to the extent that USHG invests in AGFiQ U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta ETF (“BTAL”), another ETF managed by AGFI, AGFI may benefit from increased assets and higher trading volumes in BTAL. The Board determined that the layering of expenses would be mitigated by the applicable expense limitation agreement and that it would have the opportunity to reevaluate fall-out benefits actually received by AGFI and its affiliates under the Agreement annually in connection with the renewal of the expense limitation agreement. Accordingly, under the totality of the circumstances, the Board did not deem fall-out benefits to be material to their consideration of the Agreement.
Based on their review and all of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Trustees concluded that the New ETFs and their shareholders could benefit from the Adviser’s management of the New ETFs. Thus, the Board determined that the approval of the Agreement with respect to each ETF was appropriate and in the best interest of each New ETF and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Board did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weight to different factors. After reviewing a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to the Board’s consideration of the Agreement, and after the Independent Trustees met privately with such counsel, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the advisory arrangement, as outlined in the Agreement, was fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, expenses incurred and such other matters as the Board considered relevant.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
As of the end of the period, June 30, 2019, the Registrant has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. During the period covered by this report, there have been no waivers granted under the code of ethics.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Board has determined that it does not include an audit committee financial expert, notwithstanding certain Trustees’ past experience overseeing the implementation of accounting controls and principles, due to the continuous modernization of accounting and tax requirements and the increasingly important role played by technology in the conduct of audits.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Aggregate fees for professional services rendered for FQF Trust by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) for the years ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019 were:
| 2018 | 2019 |
Audit Fees (a) | 82,650 | 113,477 |
Audit Related Fees (b) | 0 | 0 |
Tax Fees (c) | 48,660 | 50,815 |

| (a) | Audit Fees: These fees relate to professional services rendered by PwC for the audits of the Registrant’s annual financial statements or services normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filing or engagements. These services include the audits of the financial statements of the Registrant and issuance of consents. |
| (b) | Audit Related Fees: These fees relate to assurance and related services by PwC related to audit services in connection with June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019 annual financial statements. |

| (d) | All Other Fees: These fees relate to products and services provided by PwC other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” and “Tax Fees” above. |
| (e)(1) | Per Rule 2-01(c)(7)(A) and the charter of the Registrant’s Audit Committee, the Audit Committee approves and recommends the principal accountant for the Registrant, pre-approves (i) the principal accountant’s provision of all audit and permissible non-audit services to the Registrant (including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the principal accountant), and (ii) the principal accountant’s provision of any permissible non-audit services to the Registrant’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), sub-adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with any investment adviser or sub-adviser, if the engagement relates directly to the operations of the financial reporting of the Trust. |
| (e)(2) | 0% of services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |
| (f) | If greater than 50%, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributable to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees: Not Applicable. |
| (g) | Disclose the aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019: $48,660 and $50,815, respectively. |
| (h) | The Registrant's Audit Committee has considered that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant's investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence. |
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
| (a) | The Registrant is an issuer as defined in Section 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of such Act.
