Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
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 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.
Use of Estimates — The Funds are investment companies in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact to the Funds.
Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market ( “NASDAQ”), including securities traded over-the-counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid.
For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents, if available. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Futures are valued at the settlement price established for the business day by the board of trade on which they are traded. Settlement prices for financial futures are provided by an independent pricing agent.
Options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices reported from the options exchange on which such options are listed. If there is no reported sale, long options positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short option positions are valued at the most recent ask price.
Forward foreign currency contracts and swap contracts are generally valued based on the marked-to-market value of the contract. Pricing services, approved and monitored pursuant to a policy approved by the Funds’ Board, provide market quotations based on both market prices and indicative bids.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Board has designated the Investment Adviser serve as its “Valuation Designee” and perform fair value determinations on behalf of all series of the Trust, subject to the Board’s supervision and direction. The following securities may be fair valued by the Valuation Designee: (1) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available, (2) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values do not represent the fair value of the instrument, and (3) securities deemed to be illiquid. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. Fair valuation is based on subjective factors and, as a result, the fair value price of an asset may differ from the asset’s market price and may not be the current price at which the asset may be sold. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding the current economic environment, financial reports, credit, collateral and other such factors.
Under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value is determined by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Valuation Procedures, as applicable, of the Investment Adviser, subject to oversight by the Board. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| ● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| ● | Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
| ● | Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |

Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations.
The value of the Funds’ foreign holdings as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar generally will result in a corresponding change in the U.S. dollar value of securities
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
denominated in that currency held by a Fund. In addition to the risks of foreign currency exchange rates generally, trading in the currencies of certain countries may face periods of limited liquidity or the political risk of exchange controls or currency repatriation restrictions, which may in turn make such holdings denominated in those currencies difficult to value. The Funds may also incur losses in connection with conversions between various currencies.
Futures Contracts — Consistent with its investment objective and strategies, Value and Momentum ETF utilized futures contracts during the period ended October 31, 2024. The Value and Momentum ETF’s investment in futures contracts is designed to enable it to more closely approximate the performance of its benchmark index. Value and Momentum ETF chose to invest in futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance its returns. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, Value and Momentum ETF records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract. If a margin deposit was made upon entering into futures contracts, it is included in Deposit with Broker for futures contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Risks of entering into futures contracts include, 1) the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities; 2) the possibility that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date; 3) Value and Momentum ETF could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction and; 4) losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Written/Purchased — The Value and Momentum ETF, Global Tail Risk ETF, Tail Risk ETF may invest in equity options contracts for the purpose of hedging their existing portfolio securities, or securities that they intend to purchase, against fluctuations in fair market value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. The Value and Momentum ETF may use options to hedge up to 100% of the value of its long portfolio in an attempt to avoid overvalued and downtrending markets. The Global Tail Risk ETF utilizes a put option strategy to manage the risk of a significant negative movement in the value of global ex-U.S. equities on a month-by-month basis. A Fund may also invest in equity option contracts to enhance its returns. The Tail Risk ETF utilizes a put option strategy to manage the risk of a significant negative movement in the value of domestic equities over rolling one-month periods. When a Fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by a Fund is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on affecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss. The risk in writing a call option is a Fund may give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. There is risk that a Fund may pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. A Fund also has the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes. Finally, the risk exists that losses on written options could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Swaps Contracts — Swap contracts are agreements among the Fund and a counterparty to exchange the return of the pre-determined underlying investment (such as the rate of return of an underlying index). Swap agreements may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over the counter (“OTC”) between two parties or, for certain standardized swaps, must be exchange-traded through a futures commission merchant and/or cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due in part to the fact they could be considered illiquid and many swaps trade on the OTC market. Swaps are particularly subject to counterparty credit, correlation, valuation, liquidity and leveraging risks. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they do not make swap transactions risk-free. Additionally, applicable regulators have adopted rules imposing certain margin requirements, including minimums, on OTC swaps, which may result in the Fund and its counterparties posting higher margin amounts for OTC swaps, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), commodities, and foreign currencies, and may increase or decrease the overall volatility of the Fund’s investments and its share price.

Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend to qualify as “regulated investment companies” under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to their shareholders.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more]likely]than]not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period.
The Funds did not record any tax provisions in the current year. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of the period ended October 31, 2024, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any from prior years. As a registered investment company, each Fund is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if a Fund does not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the fund’s fiscal year). The Funds generally intend to distribute income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize (but not necessarily eliminate) the imposition of such excise tax. The Funds may retain income or capital gains and pay excise tax when it is determined that doing so is in the best interest of shareholders. Management, in consultation with the Board of Trustees, evaluates the costs of the excise tax relative to the benefits of retaining income and capital gains, including that such undistributed amounts (net of the excise tax paid) remain available for investment by the Funds and are available to supplement future distributions. Tax expense is disclosed in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Expenses — All organizational and offering expenses of the Trust were borne by the Investment Adviser and are not subject to future recoupment. As a result, organizational and offering expenses are not reflected in the financial statements. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the underlying funds.
Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income received from the underlying funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as dividend income in the Statements of Operations. Capital gain distributions received
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
from the underlying funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statements of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are on the basis of specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income is recorded net of unrecoverable withholding tax. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Amortization and accretion is calculated using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method over the holding period of the security. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and foreign capital gains tax have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Capital gain taxes on securities in certain foreign countries are accrued on unrealized appreciation and are due when realized.
Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds generally pay out dividends from their net investment income, if any, quarterly, and distribute their net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
Creation Units — The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV in groups of 50,000 shares (expect for the Micro and SmallCap Shareholder Yield ETF and the LargeCap Shareholder Yield ETF, which transact in groups of 25,000 shares) called creation units. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) must pay a creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is typically a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a Redemption Fee per transaction to the custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.
ALPS Distributors Inc. (the “Distributor”), the Funds’ Distributor, has entered into participant agreements with certain broker-dealers and others that allow those parties to be Authorized Participants and to subscribe for and redeem shares of the Funds. Such Authorized Participants may from time to time hold, of record or beneficially, a substantial percentage of the Funds’ shares outstanding, act as executing or clearing broker for investment transactions on behalf of the Fund and/or serve as counterparty to derivative transactions with the Funds.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a participant agreement with the distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown for the period ended October 31, 2024:
Fund | Creation Unit Shares | | Creation Fee | | Value | | Redemption Fee | | Variable Charge |

To the extent the Funds permit the contribution of securities in exchange for the purchase of shares (contribution in-kind), shares may be issued in advance of receipt by the Funds of all or a portion of the applicable Deposit Securities. In these circumstances, the Funds may require the Authorized Participant to maintain with the Trust an amount up to 115% and/or 125% of the daily mark-to-market value of the missing Deposit Securities. Amounts are disclosed as segregated cash balances with Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and payable for collateral upon return of
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Deposit Securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Illiquid Securities — A security is considered illiquid if a Fund reasonably expects that the investment cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Valuations of illiquid securities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market value for these securities existed.
Cash and cash equivalents — Idle cash and currency balances may be swept into various overnight sweep accounts and are classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These amounts, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept are available on the next business day.
3. OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Funds are required to disclose the impact of offsetting assets and liabilities represented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the effect, or potential effect, of netting arrangements on the Funds for recognized assets and liabilities. These recognized assets and liabilities are financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement, or similar agreement, or meet the following criteria to offset assets and liabilities: 1) the amounts owed by a Fund to another party are determinable; 2) a Fund has the right to offset the amounts owed with the amounts owed by the other party; 3) a Fund intends to offset assets and liabilities, which can be enforced by law.
As of October 31, 2024, the Funds’ financial instruments and derivative instruments are not subject to a master netting arrangement. See Note 10 for offsetting related to securities lending.
4. COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Investment Advisory Agreement — The Investment Adviser is responsible for overseeing the management and business affairs of the Funds and has discretion to purchase and sell securities in accordance with the Funds’ objectives, policies, and restrictions. The Investment Adviser reviews, supervises, and administers each Fund’s investment program. The Investment Adviser has entered into an investment advisory agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) with respect to the Funds. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Funds pay the Investment Adviser, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee based on their average daily nets assets for the services and facilities it provides payable at an annual rate of 0.59%, excluding the Global Asset Allocation ETF and Trinity ETF, neither of which is charged an advisory fee.
With respect to each Fund, except the Global Value ETF and Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF, the Investment Adviser bears all of the costs of the Funds, except for the advisory fee, payments under each Fund’s 12b-1 plan, brokerage expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. With respect to the Global Value ETF and Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF, the Investment Adviser bears all of the costs of each Fund, except for the advisory fee, payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan, brokerage expenses, custodial expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The Global Value ETF and Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF may pay up to 0.10% of each Funds average daily net assets in custody fees. The Advisory Agreement for the Funds provides that it may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board or, with respect to the Funds, by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Funds, on 60 days’ written notice to the Investment Adviser, and by the Investment Adviser on 60 days’ written notice to the Trust and that it shall be automatically terminated if it is assigned.
Cannabis ETF has contractually agreed to waive 0.17% of its advisory fee, on an annualized basis, through at least August 31, 2025, unless otherwise terminated by the Board. The waived fees are not eligible for recapture by the Investment Adviser. Effective March 1, 2024, the Investment Adviser has agreed to a voluntarily waiver of the advisory fees on Funds with net assets under $50 million. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Investment Adviser voluntarily waived the following:
Fund | Fees Waived | |
Global Tail Risk ETF | $ | 7,310 | |
Cannabis ETF | | 41,413 | |
Global Real Estate ETF | | 83,752 | |
Micro and SmallCap ETF | | 98,031 | |
Tactical Yield ETF | | 53,337 | |
These voluntary waivers are in addition to the Cannabis ETF’s contractual fee waiver/expense limitation agreement discussed above and may be discontinued at any time. The fees waived are not eligible for recapture by the Investment Adviser. Additionally, the Investment Adviser earned $204,121 in Investment Advisory Fees from the Global Momentum ETF related to the Fund’s investment in affiliated funds.
The Sub-Adviser serves as investment sub-adviser to the Funds, pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
management of each Fund’s portfolio, including determining the securities purchased and sold by the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board. The Sub-Adviser is paid a fee of 0.03% on the first $2 billion of the Funds aggregate average daily net assets and 0.025% of average daily net assets over $2 billion by the Adviser, which is calculated and paid monthly. The Sub-Adviser has agreed to assume the Adviser’s obligation to pay all expenses incurred by the Fund, except for Excluded Expenses. For assuming the payment obligation, the Adviser has agreed to pay to the Sub-Adviser the profits, if any, generated by the Funds’ Investment Advisory Fees, less contractual fee retained by the Adviser. Expenses incurred by the Funds and paid by the Sub-Adviser include fees charged by Tidal.
Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent — Tidal ETF Services LLC ( “Tidal”) serves as the Funds’ Administrator and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and management services for the Funds, and prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Board.
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”), serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator, fund accountant and transfer agent. In those capacities, Fund Services performs various administrative and accounting services for the Funds. Fund Services prepares various federal and state regulatory filings and reports for the Funds, including regulatory compliance monitoring and financial reporting; and monitors the activities of the Funds’ custodian. The Custodian acts as the securities lending agent (the “Securities Lending Agent”) for the Funds, as applicable. BBH also serves as a custodian for certain securities pursuant to a custodian agreement.
Distribution Agreement — The Distributor serves as the Funds’ distributor of Creation Units pursuant to a distribution agreement. The Distributor does not maintain any secondary market in Fund shares.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (“Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of their average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. However, no such fee is currently paid by the Funds, and the Board has not currently approved the commencement of any payments under the Plan.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Investment Adviser, Sub-Adviser and Administrator.

For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Tail Risk ETF had purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities of $23,544,344 and $23,468,169, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Funds realized net capital gains (losses) resulting from redemptions in kind in which Authorized Participants exchange Fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Funds, and gains are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated gains to paid in capital.

6. PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
As with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investments could lose money, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or long periods of time. An investment is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Funds are subject to the principal risks set forth in their prospectuses under the heading ‘‘Principal Risks.’’ Some of these risks, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return, or ability to meet its investment objective, are set forth below.
Buyback Risk. When a company repurchases its shares from the marketplace through share buybacks, investors may perceive this action to be a reflection of management’s belief that company shares are undervalued, but there is no guarantee that the price of a company’s stock will increase after the company announces a buyback. Accordingly, share buybacks may not be an accurate predictor of a company’s value or future share performance.
Cannabis Industry Risk. Cannabis Companies are subject to various laws and regulations that may differ at the local and federal level. These laws and regulations may significantly affect a Cannabis Company’s ability to secure financing, impact the market for cannabis industry sales and services, and set limitations on marijuana use, production, processing, transportation, sale, marketing and storage. Cannabis Companies may also be required to secure permits and authorizations from government agencies to cultivate, process, transport, store, market, sell or research marijuana. In addition, Cannabis Companies are subject to the risks associated with the agricultural, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. The Cannabis ETF invests in publicly-traded Cannabis Companies primarily listed and traded on a national securities exchange that operates in a jurisdiction where the Cannabis Companies’ cannabis-related business activities are legal under the national and local laws of the relevant jurisdiction, including U.S. federal and state laws.
U.S. Regulation of Marijuana. Although the medical use of marijuana is legal in more than half of the states as well as the District of Columbia and non- medical use of marijuana is legal in an increasing number of states and the District of Columbia, the possession and use of marijuana remains illegal under U.S. federal law. Actions by federal regulatory agencies, such as increased enforcement of federal marijuana laws and the prosecution of nonviolent federal drug crimes by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), could produce a chilling effect on the industry’s growth and further discourage banks from expanding their services to cannabis-related companies where such services are currently limited, notwithstanding cannabis banking guidance provided by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of Treasury (“FINCEN”). This conflict between the regulation of marijuana under federal and state law creates volatility and risk for all Cannabis Companies. In particular, the stepped up enforcement of marijuana laws by the federal government would adversely affect the value of the Fund’s U.S. investments, if any, as well as the Fund’s future ability to invest in Cannabis Companies primarily listed and traded on a U.S. national securities exchange and/or engaged in cannabis-related businesses in the U.S. Cannabis Companies that engage in legal medical or pharmaceutical research or the legal production and distribution of controlled substances such as marijuana must be registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) to perform such activities. Further, the DEA has no obligation to ever issue such registration to cannabis or marijuana products. In addition, although the DOJ published a notice of proposed rulemaking with the Federal Register on May 21, 2024, to initiate a formal rulemaking process to reconsider rescheduling marijuana under the Controlled
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Substances Act (“CSA”), until a final rule is published, cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance and is subject to the limitations of Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). Section 280E applies by its terms to the purchase and sale of medical-use cannabis products and provides that no deduction or credit is allowed for expenses incurred during a taxable year “in carrying on any trade or business if such trade or business (or the activities which comprise such trade or business) consists of trafficking in controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedules I and II of the [CSA]) which is prohibited by federal law or the law of any state in which such trade or business is conducted.” The disallowance of such tax deductions will likely affect the value of cannabis-related companies.
U.S. Regulation of Hemp and Hemp-Derived CBD. The Farm Bill effectively removes hemp, its extracts, derivatives, including hemp-derived cannabinoids such as CBD from the CSA’s list of controlled substances and allows states to regulate its production, commerce, and research with approval from the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). However, it is unlawful under federal law to market a food or dietary supplement that contains CBD. CBD also may not be included as an active ingredient in any over-the-counter drug product that is not the subject of an FDA-approved marketing application. FDA has the authority to remove from the market any CBD product that does not comply with the agency’s requirements. Accordingly, companies selling food or dietary supplements containing CBD may face federal enforcement action and would not be permitted to sell or market their products.
Non-U.S. Regulation of Marijuana. Laws and regulations related to the possession, use (medical or recreational), sale, transport and cultivation of marijuana vary throughout the world. These laws and regulations are subject to change and may have a significant impact on the operations of a Cannabis Company. Such operations may be legal under current law, but may be illegal in the future if the applicable law changes to prohibit marijuana-related activities vital to the company’s business. In Canada, the Cannabis Act, along with the related provincial and territorial legislation regulating adult use, distribution and sales, established a legal framework in Canada for the production, distribution, sale, and possession of both medical cannabis and adult use marijuana. However, there can be no assurance that Canadian federal, provincial, or territorial laws regulating cannabis will not be repealed or overturned or that governmental authorities will not limit the application of such laws within their respective jurisdictions.
Cash Redemption Risk. A Fund’s investment strategy may require it to effect redemptions, in whole or in part, for cash. As a result, a Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause a Fund to recognize investment income and/or capital gains or losses that it might not have recognized if it had completely satisfied the redemption in-kind. As a result, such Fund may be less tax efficient if it includes such a cash payment than if the in-kind redemption process was used exclusively (i.e., securities are distributed as payment of redemption proceeds). In addition, cash redemptions may incur higher brokerage costs than in-kind redemptions and these added costs may be borne by the Fund and negatively impact Fund performance.
Commodity Investing Risk. Investing in commodity-related companies may subject a Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The commodities markets have experienced periods of extreme volatility. Similar future market conditions may result in rapid and substantial valuation increases or decreases in the Funds’ holdings.
Corporate Bond Risk. Corporate bonds respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers.
Counterparty Risk. The Funds bear the risk that the counterparty to a derivative or other contract with a third party may default on its obligations or otherwise fail to honor its obligations. If a counterparty defaults on its payment obligations the Funds will lose money and the value of an investment in Funds’ shares may decrease. In addition, the Funds may engage in such investment transactions with a limited number of counterparties.
Currency Strategies Risk. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time and can be unpredictably affected by political developments or government intervention. Changes in currency exchange rates may affect the U.S. dollar value of the Funds’ investments.
Cyber Security Risk. Each Fund, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a breach in cyber security, including cyber-attacks. A breach in cyber security, intentional or unintentional, may adversely impact the Funds in many ways, including, but not limited to, disruption of the Funds’ operational capacity, loss of proprietary information, theft or corruption of data, denial-of-service attacks on websites or network resources, and the unauthorized release of confidential information. Cyber-attacks affecting the Funds’ third-party service providers, including the Investment Adviser, the sub-adviser, the custodian, and the transfer agent, market makers, Authorized Participants, or the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest may subject the Funds to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches.
Depositary Receipts Risk. The risks of investments in depositary receipts are substantially similar to the risks of investing directly in foreign securities. In addition, depositary receipts may not track the price of or may be less liquid than their underlying foreign securities, and the value of depositary receipts may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that have a value which depend upon, or is derived from, a reference asset, such as one or more underlying securities, pools of securities, indexes, rates or currencies. Derivatives may result in investment exposures that are greater than their
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
cost would suggest; in other words, a small investment in a derivative may have a large impact on fund performance. The successful use of derivatives generally depends on the ability to predict market movements. The use of these instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than those normally required for purchasing and selling securities. If the Investment Adviser uses a derivative instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, or if the derivative instrument does not perform as expected, these strategies may significantly reduce a fund’s return. A fund could also experience losses if it is unable to close out a position because the market for an instrument or position is or becomes illiquid.
Options Risk. The value of the Fund’s positions in options fluctuates in response to changes in the value of the underlying index. The Fund also risks losing all or part of the cash paid for purchasing put options. Because the Fund only purchases put options, the Fund’s losses from its exposure to put options is limited to the amount of premiums paid to the option seller.
Swaps Contract Risk. Swap contracts are agreements among the Fund and a counterparty to exchange the return of the pre-determined underlying investment (such as the rate of return of an underlying index). Swap agreements may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between two parties or, for certain standardized swaps, must be exchange-traded through a futures commission merchant and/or cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due in part to the fact they could be considered illiquid and many swaps trade on the OTC market. Swaps are particularly subject to counterparty credit, correlation, valuation, liquidity and leveraging risks. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they do not make swap transactions risk-free. Additionally, applicable regulators have adopted rules imposing certain margin requirements, including minimums, on OTC swaps, which may result in the Fund and its counterparties posting higher margin amounts for OTC swaps, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Dividend Paying Security Risk. Securities that pay high dividends as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing these companies to underperform companies that do not pay high dividends. Also, changes in the dividend policies of companies owned by the Funds and the capital resources available for these companies’ dividend payments may adversely affect the Funds.
Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging market investments are subject to the same risks as foreign investments and to additional risks due to greater political and economic uncertainties as well as a relative lack of information about issuers in such markets. For example, emerging markets may be subject to, among other risks, greater market volatility; lower trading volume and liquidity; greater social, political and economic uncertainty; governmental controls on foreign investments and limitations on repatriation of invested capital; lower disclosure, corporate governance, auditing and financial reporting standards; fewer protections of property rights; fewer investor rights and limited legal, contractual or practical remedies available to investors against emerging market companies; restrictions on the transfer of securities or currency; and settlement and trading practices that differ from U.S. markets and markets of more developed countries.
Equity Investing Risk. An investment in the Funds involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund holding equity securities, such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally.
ETF Structure Risk. The Funds are ETFs, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, they are exposed to the following risks:
Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Funds have a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) Authorized Participants exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other Authorized Participants step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.
Cash Redemption Risk. The Funds’ investment strategy will require it to effect redemptions by Authorized Participants, in whole or in part, for the cash value of large blocks of Shares called Creation Units. As a result, the Funds may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions and be less tax-efficient than if the in-kind redemption process was used exclusively. In addition, cash redemptions may incur higher brokerage costs than in-kind redemptions, and these added costs may be borne by the Funds and negatively impact Fund performance.
Premium -Discount Risk. Shares may trade above (premium) or below (discount) their NAV. The market prices of Shares will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Shares on the Exchange. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. Additionally, in stressed market conditions, the market for Shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Funds’ underlying portfolio holdings, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares.
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Secondary Market Trading Risk. Investors buying or selling 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 Shares. In addition, secondary market investors will also incur a bid/ask spread, which varies over time for Shares based on trading volume and market liquidity and is generally higher if Shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Although the 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 stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Funds’ underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted.
Exchange-Traded Funds and Exchange-Traded Products (“ETP”) and Investment Companies Risk. The risks of investing in securities of ETFs, ETPs and investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the underlying ETF, ETP or investment company invests. In addition, with such investments, the Funds bear their proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the underlying entity. As a result, the Funds’ operating expenses may be higher and performance may be lower.
Exchange-Traded Notes Risk. Because ETNs are unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities, an investment in an ETN exposes the Fund to the risk that an ETN’s issuer may be unable to pay. In addition, as with investments in other ETPs, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the ETN, which may cause the Fund’s operating expenses to be higher and its performance to be lower.
Fixed Income Risk. A decline in an issuer’s credit rating and/or financial condition may cause such issuer’s fixed income securities to decrease in value while experiencing increased volatility and investment risk. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Funds may “call” (or repay) the security before its stated maturity, and the Funds may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Funds’ income. The market value of a fixed income security generally changes in response to changes in interest rates and may change quickly and without warning in response to issuer defaults and changes in issuer credit ratings.
Foreign Investment Risk. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Exposures to foreign securities entail special risks, including risks due to: (i) differences in information available about foreign issuers; (ii) differences in investor protection standards in other jurisdictions; (iii) capital controls risks, including the risk of a foreign jurisdiction imposing restrictions on the ability to repatriate or transfer currency or other assets; (iv) political, diplomatic and economic risks; (v) regulatory risks; and (vi) foreign market and trading risks, including the costs of trading and risks of settlement in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, the Funds’ investments in securities denominated in other currencies could decline due to changes in local currency relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the Funds’ returns.
Forward Currency Contracts Risk. Forward currency contracts and other currency management strategies may substantially change the Fund’s exposure to currency exchange rates and could result in losses to the Fund if currencies do not perform as Cambria expects. The Fund may be required to buy or sell additional currency on the spot market (and bear the expense of such transaction) if Cambria’s predictions regarding the movement of foreign currency prove inaccurate. In addition, the use of forward currency contracts subjects the Fund to counterparty risk and leveraging risk, as discussed in this Prospectus. Forward contracts require collateralization, and the commitment of a large portion of the Fund’s assets as collateral could impede portfolio management.
Futures Contracts Risk. Risks associated with the use of futures contracts include the following: (i) an imperfect correlation between movements in prices of index futures contracts and movements in the value of the stock index that the instrument is designed to simulate; and (ii) the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Investments in futures may expose the Funds to leverage.
Geographic Investment Risk. To the extent the Funds invest a significant portion of assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region.
Asia-Pacific Risk. Investments in securities of issuers in Asia-Pacific countries involve risks that are specific to the Asia-Pacific region, including certain legal, regulatory, political and economic risks. Certain Asia-Pacific countries have experienced expropriation and/or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, political instability, armed conflict and social instability as a result of religious, ethnic, socio-economic and/or political unrest. Some economies in this region are dependent on a range of commodities, and are strongly affected by international commodity prices and particularly vulnerable to price changes for these products.
Canada Risk. Changes to the U.S. economy may significantly affect the Canadian economy because the U.S. is Canada’s largest trading partner and foreign investor. The economy of Canada is also heavily dependent on the demand for natural resources and agricultural products. Accordingly, a change in the supply and demand of these resources, both in Canada and worldwide, can have a significant effect on Canadian market performance. Conditions that weaken demand for its products worldwide could have a negative impact on the Canadian economy as a whole.
China Risk. Investments in China involve risks closely tied to the social, political, and economic conditions within China. The Chinese economy may experience slower growth if domestic or global demand for Chinese goods decreases significantly and/or key trading partners implement protectionist measures such as trade tariffs. China’s economy is also susceptible to economic recession, market inefficiency,
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
rising inflation rates, volatility and pricing anomalies that may be connected to governmental influence, a lack of public information and/or social and political instability. The Chinese government maintains strict currency controls, regularly intervenes in the currency market, and plays a major role in the country’s economic policies regarding foreign investments. Foreign investors are subject to the risk of loss from expropriation or nationalization of their investment assets and property, governmental restrictions on foreign investments and the repatriation of capital.
Europe Risk. The Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (“EU”) requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, interest rates, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in Europe. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and/or an economic recession in an EU member country may have a significant adverse effect on the economies of EU member countries and their trading partners. In addition, the United Kingdom has formally exited the EU (“Brexit”). Although it remains unclear what the potential consequences of Brexit may be, the economies of Europe and the United Kingdom, as well as the broader global economy, could be significantly impacted by Brexit, which may result in lower economic growth and increased volatility and illiquidity across global markets.
Japan Risk. The economy of Japan is heavily dependent on international trade, government support, and consistent government policy supporting its export market. Slowdowns in the economies of key trading partners such as the United States, China and countries in Southeast Asia could have a negative impact on the Japanese economy as a whole. Trade tariffs and other protectionist measures could also have an adverse impact on the Japanese export market.
South Africa Risk. South Africa’s economy is heavily dependent on natural resources and commodity prices. South Africa’s currency may also be vulnerable to significant fluctuations and devaluation. Access to health care, unemployment, limited economic opportunity, and other financial constraints, continue to present obstacles to South Africa’s full economic development. Disparities of wealth, the pace and success of democratization and capital market development and religious and racial disaffection have also led to social and political unrest. There can be no assurance that initiatives by the South African government to address these issues will achieve the desired results.
South Korea Risk. Investments in South Korean issuers may subject the Fund to legal, regulatory, political, currency, security, and economic risks that are specific to South Korea. In addition, economic and political developments of South Korea’s neighbors may have an adverse effect on the South Korean economy.
Taiwan Risk. The economy of Taiwan is heavily dependent on exports. Currency fluctuations, increasing competition from Asia’s other emerge economies, and conditions that weaken demand for Taiwan’s export products worldwide could have a negative impact on the Taiwanese economy as a whole. Concerns over Taiwan’s history of political contention and its current relationship with China may also have a significant impact on the economy of Taiwan.
Hedging Risk. Options used by the Funds to offset its exposure to tail risk or reduce volatility may not perform as intended. There can be no assurance that the Funds’ put option strategy will be effective. It may expose the Funds to losses, e.g., option premiums, to which it would not have otherwise been exposed if it only invested, directly or indirectly, in U.S. government bonds and ex-U.S. sovereign bonds. Further, the put option strategy may not fully protect the Funds against declines in the value of their portfolio securities.
High Yield Securities Risk. High yield securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality are subject to the increased risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. High yield securities are subject to a greater risk of default and investments in them are inherently speculative. The secondary markets in which high yield securities are traded may be less liquid and more volatile than the market for higher grade securities.
Inflation- Protected Security Risk. Inflation-protected securities, such as Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS), provide protection against inflation. Inflation-protected securities typically decrease in value when real interest rates rise and increase in value when real interest rates fall.
Interest Rate Risk. The market value of fixed income securities generally changes in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities is likely to decrease. Similarly, if interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities is likely to increase. Interest rate risk is generally lower for shorter-term investments and higher for longer-term investments. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given the Federal Reserve’s recent increases in interest rates. To the extent that rates increase substantially and/or rapidly, the Funds may be subject to significant losses.
International Closed-Market Trading Risk. Because the Funds’ investments may be traded in markets that are closed when the Exchange is open, there are likely to be deviations between the current pricing of an underlying investment and stale investment pricing (i.e., the last quote from its closed foreign market), resulting in premiums or discounts to NAV that may be greater than those experienced by other ETFs.
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Investment Risk. An investment in the Funds is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell your Shares, they could be worth less than what you paid for them.
Large Capitalization Company Risk. The Funds’ investments in large capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Leveraging Risk. Certain of the Funds’ investments may expose the Funds to leverage, causing the Funds’ value to be more volatile.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when a particular investment is difficult to purchase or sell. A significant, rapid rise in interest rates may result in a period of volatility and increased redemptions if Fund securities become illiquid and are forced to sell the illiquid securities at disadvantageous times or prices. This could have a negative effect on the Funds’ ability to achieve its investment objective and may result in losses to Fund shareholders.
Management Risk. The Funds are actively managed using a model-based approach, and the Adviser selects Fund investments on a periodic basis using a proprietary quantitative algorithm developed by the Adviser for the Funds. There can be no guarantee that these strategies and processes, or the Adviser’s quantitative model, will be effective or successful investment management techniques or that the Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular Fund investments will be correct even if the Adviser’s overall investment strategies and processes are otherwise effective. Further, there is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment objective.
Market Events Risk. Turbulence in the financial markets, reduced liquidity in the equity markets, and/or the advent of certain economic or political events, including global events such as war, acts of terrorism or a public health crisis, may negatively affect issuers, which could have an adverse effect on certain Fund holdings. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve and/or other government actors, such as increasing interest rates, could cause increased volatility in financial markets and higher levels of Fund redemptions, which could have a negative impact on certain Fund holdings.
Micro Capitalization Company Risk. Micro capitalization companies are more vulnerable to adverse economic events and poor business conditions than larger, more established companies. The earnings and revenue of micro capitalization companies tend to be less predictable, and their securities are generally less liquid and subject to greater and more unpredictable price change.
Momentum Investing Risk. A Fund employs a “momentum” style of investing that emphasizes investing in securities that have had higher recent price performance compared to other securities. This style of investing is subject to the risk that these securities may be more volatile than a broad cross-section of securities or that the returns on securities that have previously exhibited price momentum are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. High momentum may also be a sign that the securities’ prices have peaked. 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.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. Movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain types of MBS. In addition, MBS generally can be prepaid at any time, and prepayments that occur either more quickly (prepayment risk) or more slowly (extension risk) than expected can adversely impact the value of such securities. MBS may be negatively affected by the quality of the underlying mortgages, the credit quality of its issuer or guarantor, and the nature and structure of its credit support. MBS not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government are subject to the risk of default on the underlying mortgage, particularly during periods of economic downturn.
Options Risk. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the prices of options and movements in the price of the underlying securities. Options may expire unexercised, causing the Funds to lose the premium paid for them. The success of the Funds’ investment in options depends upon many factors, such as the price of the options which is a function of various factors that may change rapidly over time. If a counterparty defaults, the Funds’ only recourse will be to pursue contractual remedies against the counterparty, and the Funds may be unsuccessful in its pursuit. The Funds thus assume the risk that it may be delayed in or prevented from obtaining payments owed to it pursuant to an over-the-counter options transaction.
Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Funds’ strategies may frequently involve buying and selling portfolio securities to rebalance the Funds’ exposure to various market sectors. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the Funds paying higher levels of transaction costs and generating greater tax liabilities for shareholders. Portfolio turnover risk may cause the Funds’ performance to be less than you expect.
Quantitative Security Selection Risk. The Investment Adviser uses quantitative techniques to generate investment decisions and select stocks, and the Funds may not perform as intended if it relies on erroneous or outdated data from one or more third parties. Errors in data used in the quantitative model may occur from time to time and may not be identified and/or corrected before having an adverse impact on a Fund and its shareholders.
Real Estate Industry Risk. The Funds are subject to the risks related to investments in real estate, including declines in the real estate market, decreases in property revenues, increases in interest rates, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, legal and regulatory changes, a lack of credit or capital, defaults by borrowers or tenants, environmental problems, and natural disasters.
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Real Estate Investment Trust “REIT” Risk. In addition to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and real estate-related securities, REITs are subject to additional risks, including those related to adverse governmental actions, and the performance of a REIT may be affected by its failure to qualify for tax-free pass through of income or its failure to maintain exemption from registration as an investment company. REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and may invest in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a small number of property types. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders or unitholders and may be subject to defaults by borrowers and to self-liquidations. As a result, investments in REITs may be volatile. REITs also have their own fees and expenses, and the Funds will indirectly bear a proportionate share of those fees and expenses.
Sector Risk — To the extent that the Funds invest a significant portion of assets in a particular sector, the Funds may be susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences affecting that sector.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The success of consumer product manufacturers and retailers is tied closely to the performance of their local economy, the international economy, interest rates, competitive and consumer confidence. Success depends heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes can also affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products in the marketplace.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk. The consumer staples sector includes, for example, food and drug retail and companies whose primary lines of business are food, beverage and other household items, including agricultural products. This sector can be significantly affected by, among other things, changes in price and availability of underlying commodities, rising energy prices and global and economic conditions.
Energy Sector Risk. The energy sector includes, for example, oil, gas, and consumable fuel companies. Energy companies can be substantially impacted by, among other things, the volatility of oil prices, worldwide supply and demand, worldwide economic growth, and political instability in oil or gas producing regions such as the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
Financials Sector Risk. Performance of companies in the Financials sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates, and decreased liquidity in credit markets. This sector has experienced significant losses in the recent past, and the impact of more stringent capital requirements and of recent or future regulation on any individual financial company or on the sector as a whole cannot be predicted.
Health Care Sector Risk. The health care sector includes, for example, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, health care facilities, and health care equipment and supply companies. This sector can be significantly affected by, among other things, lapsing patent protection, technological developments that make drugs obsolete, government regulation, price controls, and approvals for drugs.
Industrials Sector Risk. Issuers in the industrials sector are affected by supply and demand, both for their specific product or service and for industrial sector products in general. The products of such issuers may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction. Government regulations, world events, economic conditions and exchange rates affect the performance of companies in the industrial sector. Issuers in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by liability for environmental damage, product liability claims and exchange rates. The industrials sector may also be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced by unpredictable factors.
Information Technology Sector Risk. Technology companies face intense competition, which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Materials Sector Risk. Issuers in the materials sector may be adversely affected by commodity price volatility, exchange rates, import controls, increased competition, depletion of resources, technical progress, labor relations and government regulations, among other factors. Issuers in the materials sector may be liable for environmental damage and product liability claims. Production of materials may exceed demand as a result of market imbalances or economic downturns, leading to poor investment returns.
Utilities Sector Risk. Utilities include companies such as electric, gas and water firms and renewable energy companies. Companies in the utilities sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, supply and demand, operating costs, financing costs, rate caps or rate changes, government regulation and environmental factors. Deregulation of utilities may also subject these companies to increased competition and reduce their profitability.
Short Sale Risk. If a security is sold short and subsequently has to be bought back at a higher price, the Funds will realize a loss on the transaction.
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
The amount of loss 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 may increase the Funds’ exposure to the market, and may increase losses and the volatility of returns.
Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Small and medium capitalization companies are sometimes more dependent on key personnel or limited product lines than larger, more diversified companies. Often, small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they focus are still evolving and, as a result, they may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.
Sovereign Debt Securities Risk. Investments in sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt obligations involve special risks not present in corporate debt obligations. The issuer of the sovereign debt or the authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Funds may have limited recourse in the event of a default. During periods of economic uncertainty, the market prices of sovereign debt, and the Funds’ net asset value, may be more volatile than prices of U.S. debt obligations. In the past, certain non-U.S. markets have encountered difficulties in servicing their debt obligations, withheld payments of principal and interest and declared moratoria on the payment of principal and interest on their sovereign debts. These risks increase for lower-rated and high yield debt securities, as discussed in the Prospectus.
Swaps Contract Risk. Each swap exposes the Fund to counterparty risk when a counterparty to a financial instrument entered into by the Fund may become bankrupt or otherwise fail to perform its obligations. As a result, the Fund may experience delays in or be prevented from obtaining payments owed to it pursuant to a swap contract.
Underlying Vehicle Counterparty and Leverage Risk. Through its investments in Underlying Vehicles the Funds may be indirectly exposed to additional risks. For example, if an Underlying Vehicle contracts with a counterparty, the Funds indirectly bears the risk that the counterparty fails to honor its obligations, causing the Underlying Vehicle, and therefore the Fund, to lose money and decline in value. Derivatives used by Underlying Vehicles may include leverage, allowing them to obtain the right to a return on stipulated capital that exceeds the amount paid or invested. Use of leverage is speculative and could magnify losses. Although certain Underlying Vehicles may comply with their obligations related to certain derivatives in accordance with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, as applicable, the Fund’s value-at- risk limitations (if applicable) may not prevent losses greater than the value of those obligations. Other Underlying Vehicles may not employ any risk management procedures at all, leading to even greater losses. Due to the Funds’ investments in Underlying Vehicles, the value of the Funds’ Shares may be volatile.
U.S. Government Securities Risk. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Funds.
Value Investment Risk. The Funds may consider certain value metrics when selecting stocks for inclusion in their portfolio and, as a result, the Funds may underperform when the market favors stocks with growth characteristics or a non-value investment approach. Value investments are subject to the risk that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market.
7. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and 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 Investment 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.
8. INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily attributable to redemption in-kind transactions. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.
For tax purposes, short-term realized gains are considered ordinary income. The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the period ended April 30, 2024 were as follows:

The difference between the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and other financial instruments and the financial statement cost is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies, partnership investments, the tax treatment of grantor trusts, and certain market to market adjustments.
9. SECURITIES LENDING
Certain Funds have entered into a Securities Lending Agreement with U.S. Bank N.A., (the “Lending Agent”) to lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations that meet capital and other credit requirements or other criteria established by the Trust’s Board. These loans, if and when made, may not exceed 33 1/3% of the total asset value of the respective Fund (including the loan collateral). The Funds will not lend portfolio securities to the Adviser or its affiliates unless permissible under the 1940 Act and the rules and promulgations thereunder. Loans of portfolio securities will be fully collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities, and the collateral will be maintained in an amount equal to at least 102% of the then market value of domestic loaned securities and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities. However, due to market fluctuations during the day, the value of securities loaned on a particular day may, during the course of the day, exceed the value of collateral. On each business day, the amount of collateral is adjusted based on the prior day’s market fluctuations and the current day’s lending activity. Income from lending activity is determined by the amount of interest earned on collateral, less any amounts payable to the borrowers of the securities and the lending agent. Lending securities involves certain risks, including the risk that the Funds may be delayed or restricted from recovering the loaned securities or disposing of the collateral for the loan, which could give rise to loss because of adverse market actions, expenses and/or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and income from lending activity by the Funds that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of that Fund.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending of each applicable Fund is invested in First American Government Obligations Fund Class X and is presented on the Schedules of Investments.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under the Securities Lending Agreement, which permits a Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by a Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from a Fund.
The following is a summary of securities lending agreements held by the Funds, with cash collateral of overnight and continuous maturities and non-cash collateral, if any, which would be subject to offset as of October 31, 2024:
Fund | | Value of Securities on Loan | | | Payable on Collateral Received | |

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Cambria ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), attended a meeting held via video conference on March 5, 2024 (the “Meeting”), called for the purpose of, among other things, the consideration of, and voting on, the approval of (1) the investment advisory agreement between Cambria Investment Management, L.P. (“Cambria”) and the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”), and (2) the sub-advisory agreement between Tidal Investments LLC (“Tidal”) and Cambria (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”), with respect to a newly proposed series of the Trust: Cambria LargeCap Shareholder Yield ETF (the “New Fund”). In preparation for its deliberations, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from Cambria to due diligence questionnaires circulated on the Board’s behalf relating to the New Fund. The Board also reviewed a memorandum from Fund counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to its consideration of the Agreements. During its deliberations, the Board received an oral presentation from Cambria and Tidal and was assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel.
In evaluating the Agreements, the Board reviewed information regarding Cambria’s and Tidal’s personnel, operations, and financial condition. In addition, the Board considered the evaluation process of Cambria and Tidal to be ongoing and, in this regard, the Board considered information about Cambria and Tidal derived from prior meetings of the Board concerning Cambria’s and Tidal’s performance and services with respect to other series of the Trust (the “Funds”) as part of the 15(c) review process for the New Fund. At the Meeting, the Board considered: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the New Fund by Cambria and Tidal; (2) Cambria’s and Tidal’s investment performance with respect to existing Funds with similar investment strategies as well as other Funds managed by the same portfolio managers; (3) the costs of the services to be provided by Cambria and Tidal and the expected profitability to Cambria and Tidal to be derived from their relationships with the New Fund; (4) the advisory fee and total expense ratio of the New Fund compared to those of a relevant group of peer funds (the “Peer Group”); (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Fund grows and whether the advisory fee would enable investors to share in the benefits of economies of scale; (6) benefits to be derived by Cambria, Tidal, and their affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund; (7) Cambria’s and Tidal’s reputation, expertise and resources in the financial markets; (8) Cambria’s and Tidal’s investment management personnel; (9) Cambria’s and Tidal’s operations and financial condition; (10) Cambria’s and Tidal’s compliance programs; and (11) other factors the Board deemed relevant.
The discussion immediately below outlines in greater detail the materials and information presented to the Board in connection with its consideration and approval of the Agreements, and the conclusions made by the Board at the Meeting when determining to approve the Agreements for the New Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed the nature, quality and extent of the overall services to be provided by Cambria and Tidal to the New Fund. In particular, the Board considered the responsibilities of Cambria and Tidal under the terms of the Agreements. The Board recognized that Cambria had invested significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and the New Fund, arranging service providers, exploring various sales channels, and assessing the appeal for the New Fund’s investment strategy. In addition, the Board considered that Cambria is responsible for providing investment advisory services to the New Fund, monitoring compliance with the New Fund’s objectives, policies, and restrictions, and carrying out directives of the Board. The Board noted that Tidal will be providing certain sub-advisory services to the Fund, such as trading the Fund’s portfolio securities based on instructions from Cambria; oversight of general portfolio compliance with applicable securities laws, regulations, and investment restrictions; proxy voting; responsibility for daily monitoring of portfolio exposures and quarterly reporting to the Board; and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the New Fund. The Board also considered the services provided by Cambria in the oversight of Tidal as well as the Trust’s distributor, administrator, transfer agent, and custodian. In addition, the Board evaluated the integrity of Cambria’s and Tidal’s personnel, the professional qualifications and experience of the portfolio management team in managing assets, their experiences with Cambria’s and Tidal’s services, and the adequacy of Cambria’s and Tidal’s resources and financial condition. Based on its review, within the context of its full deliberations, the Board determined that it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the New Fund by Cambria and Tidal.
Performance. The Board noted that, since the New Fund had not yet commenced investment operations, it had no investment performance. The Board considered, however, that Cambria has been relatively successful managing Funds with similar investment strategies and/or portfolio holdings to the New Fund, including its suite of Shareholder Yield ETFs. Representatives from Cambria provided information regarding, and led a discussion on, the factors that may impact the New Fund’s future performance, including current market conditions and Cambria’s future expectations with respect to the New Fund’s strategies. The Board also discussed and considered the performance track record, investment experience, professional background and qualifications of the New Fund’s portfolio managers.
Comparative Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the New Fund’s proposed advisory fee to be paid by the New Fund to Cambria and the sub-advisory fee paid by Cambria to Tidal in relation to their respective estimated costs of their respective services to be provided to the New Fund. The Trustees noted that the New Fund charges a unitary advisory fee through which, Cambria, not the New Fund, is responsible for paying many of the expenses necessary to service the New Fund, including the expenses of other service providers. In considering the advisory and sub-advisory fees and expense ratio, the Board reviewed and considered the fees in light of the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided by Cambria and Tidal. Because the New Fund charges a unitary advisory fee, the Board considered how the New Fund’s total expense ratio compared to those of the funds in the Peer Group, noting how differences between fund strategies might impact fees. After comparing expense ratios, the Board noted that the total expense ratio for the New Fund was higher than the total expense ratio charged by two of the three funds in the Peer Group, noting, however, that each of the peer funds had accumulated over $1 billion in assets. In each instance where the New Fund’s expense ratio was materially higher than the range of expense ratios of in the Peer Group, the Trustees were satisfied by the reasons for the New Fund’s higher expenses, including, but not limited to, significant differences between the investment strategies, portfolio holdings, and/or asset size of the New Fund and its Peer Group funds. The Board also considered Cambria’s representation that it would continue to monitor the New Fund’s expense ratio, as compared to those of its Peer Group, and seek to ensure that the New Fund’s fees remain competitive. Based on its review, in the context of its full deliberations, the Board concluded that the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees appeared reasonable in light of the services to be rendered.
Costs and Profitability. The Board then considered the estimated profits to be realized by Cambria and Tidal in connection with providing their respective services to the New Fund. The Board noted that since the New Fund had not yet launched, it was difficult to estimate how profitable the New Fund would be to Cambria and Tidal. The Board, however, reviewed estimated profit and loss information provided by Cambria and Tidal with respect to the New Fund. In particular, the Board noted Cambria’s representation of its long-term commitment to the success of the New Fund and the unitary fee structure under which Cambria bears the risk that the New Fund’s expenses may increase.
The Board further considered the costs associated with the personnel, systems and equipment necessary to manage the New Fund and to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements adopted by the SEC and other regulatory bodies as well as other expenses Cambria pays in accordance with the Advisory Agreement. Based on its review, in the context of its full deliberations, the Board concluded that Cambria’s and Tidal’s expected profitability with respect to the New Fund appeared reasonable in light of the services Cambria and Tidal will render to the New Fund.
Other Benefits. The Board then considered the extent to which Cambria and Tidal will derive ancillary benefits from the New Fund’s operations. The Board discussed that while Cambria did not have any affiliates that would benefit from the New Fund’s operations, Tidal’s affiliate, Tidal ETF Services, LLC, will serve as the administrator to the New Fund. However, the Board also noted that under the Fund’s unitary fee structure, Cambria will be paying Tidal ETF Services, LLC’s fee out of the management fee it receives from the New Fund. The Board also reviewed the degree to which Cambria may receive compensation from the New Fund based upon the New Fund’s investment in other Cambria ETFs, noting that Cambria does not expect the New Fund to invest its assets in other Cambria ETFs.
Economies of Scale. The Board next considered the absence of breakpoints in Cambria’s fee schedule for the New Fund and whether economies of scale would be realized by the New Fund as its assets grow larger. The Board determined that it is difficult to predict when economies of scale might be realized for Cambria and the New Fund, which had not launched yet. The Board, thus, determined to monitor potential economies of scale, as well as the appropriateness of introducing breakpoints, as assets managed by the New Fund grow larger.
Conclusion. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the advisory and sub-advisory arrangements, as outlined in the Agreements, was fair and reasonable in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred, and such other matters as the Board considered relevant. In approving the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors. In light of the foregoing, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Agreements with respect to the New Fund.
