KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A 50 Connect Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF, KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF, KraneShares MSCI One Belt One Road Index ETF and KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF are diversified Funds. All other Funds are non-diversified Funds, as defined under Section 5(b)(1) of the Investment Company Act. Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane” or the ‘‘Adviser’’), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser for the Funds and is subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the ‘‘Board’’). The Adviser is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Funds, the Funds’ business affairs and other administrative matters. The Adviser may use sub-advisers (each, a “Sub-Adviser” or collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”) to perform the day-to-day management of the Funds.
China International Capital Corporation (USA) Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of China International Capital Corporation Limited owns a majority stake in Krane. As of September 30, 2023, Central Huijin Investment Limited, a mainland Chinese-domiciled entity, and HKSCC Nominees Limited, held approximately 40.1% and 39.4%, respectively, of the shares of China International Capital Corporation Limited. Central Huijin Investment Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Investment Corporation, which is a mainland Chinese sovereign wealth fund. KFA One Holdings, LLC, located at 280 Park Avenue 32nd Floor, New York, New York, 10017, holds the remaining equity interests in Krane and Jonathan Krane, through his equity interests in KFA One Holdings, LLC, beneficially owns more than 10% of the equity interests in Krane.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). Market prices for Fund shares (“Shares”) may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, typically 25,000, 50,000 or 100,000 Shares or multiples thereof, called “Creation Units”. This does not mean, however, that individual investors will be able to redeem and purchase Shares directly with the series of the Trust. Only Authorized Participants can redeem and purchase Creation Units of Shares
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
directly. Each Fund will issue and redeem Shares for a basket of securities and/or a balancing cash amount. Individual shares trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day.
The investment objective of each of the following Funds is to seek to provide a total return or investments results that (before fees and expenses) tracks the performance of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 — The NAV per share of each Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of a Fund (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities and withholdings) by the total number of shares of a Fund outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. Expenses and fees, including without limitation, the management, administration and distribution fees, are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining NAV. The NAV per share for each Fund normally is calculated by the Administrator (as defined below) and determined as of the regularly scheduled close of normal trading on each day that the NYSE is scheduled to be open for business (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). Any assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars at the current market rates on the date of valuation as quoted by one or more sources.
Securities listed on a securities exchange (i.e., exchange-traded equity securities), market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued by independent pricing agents at the last reported sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at the time as of which the Fund’s NAV is calculated if a security’s exchange is normally open at that time). If there is no such reported sale, such securities are valued at the most recently reported bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used.
If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Fund seeks to obtain bid and ask prices from two broker-dealers who make a market in the portfolio instrument and determines the average of the two.
If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value.
The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. The exchange rates used for valuation are captured as of the close of the London Stock Exchange each day normally at 4:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time. The value of a swap contract is equal to the obligation (or rights) under the swap contract, which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the contract based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the contract as determined by the applicable independent, third party pricing agent. Exchange-traded options, except as discussed below for FLEX options, are valued at the last reported sales price on the exchange on which they are listed. If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, long positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short positions are valued at the most recent ask price. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are valued based upon prices determined by the applicable independent, third party pricing agent.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Futures are valued at the settlement price established by the board of trade on which they are traded. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued at the current day’s interpolated foreign exchange rate, as calculated using the current day’s spot rate and the 30-, 60-, 90- and 180-day forward rates provided by an independent pricing agent. As of and during the period ended September 30, 2023, the Funds did not hold swaps or foreign currency forward contracts.
FLEX (short for flexible) options are normally valued using a model-based price provided by a third-party pricing vendor. On days when a trade in a FLEX options occurs, the trade price will be used to value such FLEX options in lieu of the model price.
On certain days, the settlement price for futures may not be available at the time the Fund calculates its NAV. On such days, the best available price (which is typically the last trade price) may be used to value futures.
Investments in open-end investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in open-end investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued in the same manner as other exchange-traded equity securities (described above).
Securities issued by a wholly owned subsidiary of a Fund will be valued at the subsidiary’s net asset value, which will be determined using the same pricing policies and procedures applicable to the Fund.
Investments for which market prices are not ‘‘readily available,’’ or are not deemed to reflect current market values, or are debt securities where no evaluated price is available from third-party pricing agents pursuant to established methodologies, are fair valued in accordance with the Adviser’s valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using ‘‘fair value’’ pricing may include, but are not limited to: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed; or the security has not been traded for an extended period of time.
In addition, a Fund may fair value its securities if an event that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s securities that trade outside of the United States (a ‘‘Significant Event’’) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that a Fund calculates its NAV. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector, country or region. Events that may be Significant Events may include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If Krane becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a portfolio instrument or group of portfolio instruments after the closing of the exchange or market on which the portfolio instrument or portfolio instruments principally trade, but before the time at which a Fund calculates its NAV, it will notify the Administrator and may request that an ad hoc meeting of the Fair Valuation Committee be called.
With respect to trade-halted securities, the Adviser typically will fair value a trade-halted security by adjusting the security’s last market close price by the security’s sector performance, as measured by a predetermined index, unless Krane’s Fair Valuation Committee determines to make additional adjustments. Certain foreign securities exchanges have mechanisms in place that confine one day’s price movement in an individual security to a pre-determined price range based on that day’s opening price (“Collared Securities”). Fair value determinations for Collared Securities will generally be capped based on any applicable pre-determined “limit down” or “limit up” prices established by the relevant foreign securities exchange. As an example, China A-Shares can only
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
be plus or minus ten percent in one day of trading in the relevant mainland China equity market. As a result, the fair value price determination on a given day will generally be capped plus or minus ten percent.
Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could actually be realized upon the sale of the security or that another fund that uses market quotations or its own fair value procedures to price the same securities. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Underlying Index. This may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to track its Underlying Index.
Trading in securities on many foreign exchanges is normally completed before the close of business on each Business Day (a “Business Day”, as used herein, is any day on which the Exchange is open for business). In addition, securities trading in a particular country or countries may not take place on each Business Day or may take place on days that are not Business Days. Changes in valuations on certain securities may occur at times or on days on which a Fund’s NAV is not calculated and on which Fund shares do not trade and sales and redemptions of shares do not occur. As a result, the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities and the net asset value of its shares may change on days when share purchases or sales cannot occur.
Fund shares are purchased or sold on a national securities exchange at market prices, which may be higher or lower than NAV. Transactions in Fund shares will be priced at NAV only if shares are purchased or redeemed directly from a Fund in Creation Units. No secondary sales will be made to brokers or dealers at concession by the Distributor or by a Fund. Purchases and sales of shares in the secondary market, which will not involve a Fund, will be subject to customary brokerage commissions and charges.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the 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 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost).
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, broker quotes, fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term).
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. For details of the investment classification, refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute annually all or substantially all of its taxable income and gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
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 year. The Funds did not record any tax provisions in the current period. 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 September 30, 2023, management of the Funds has reviewed all open tax years since inception and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded, net of any applicable withholding tax, on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date and includes the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discount calculated using the effective interest method.
Dividend income received from affiliated funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as income distributions in the Statement of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from affiliated funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statement of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of affiliated funds are on the basis of specific identification. See details on the Statements of Operations.
OPTIONS — The KraneShares China Internet and Covered Call Strategy ETF writes (sells) at the money FLexible EXchange® call options (“FLEX options”) on the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (“Underlying Fund”). The KraneShares China Internet and Covered Call Strategy ETF will cover such options by holding the Underlying Fund. FLEX options are exchange-traded options contracts with uniquely customizable terms like exercise price, style, and expiration date. Each FLEX option written will generally (i) have an expiration date greater than 30 days; (ii) have an exercise price generally at the prevailing market price of the Underlying Fund; and (iii) be traded on a national securities exchange. The KraneShares China Internet and Covered Call Strategy ETF will attempt to hold each FLEX option written until expiration. However, if there are redemptions in the
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
KraneShares China Internet and Covered Call Strategy ETF, it may not be able to hold such options until expiration. In addition, each FLEX option written generally will only be subject to exercise on its expiration date.
As of September 30, 2023, the KraneShares China Internet and Covered Call Strategy ETF had open written option positions. Refer to the KraneShares China Internet and Covered Call Strategy ETF’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding open options as of September 30, 2023. All options held during the period were equity options.
For the period ended September 30, 2023, the average monthly cost for written options held during the period by the KraneShares China Internet and Covered Call Strategy ETF was $2,918,570.
FOREIGN CURRENCY — 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. The Funds report certain foreign-currency-related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Each Fund, except for the KraneShares Asia Pacific High Income Bond ETF, the KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Index ETF and the KraneShares China Internet and Covered Call Strategy ETF, intends to pay out dividends, if any, at least annually; each of the KraneShares Asia Pacific High Income Bond ETF, the KraneShares Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Index ETF and the KraneShares China Internet and Covered Call Strategy ETF intend to pay out dividends, if any, at least monthly. The Funds distribute their net investment income at least annually. Any net realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Funds’ Custodian, if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge of the BBH Overdraft Base Rate plus 2.00%. Cash overdraft charges are included in “Interest Expense” on the Statements of Operations.
SECURITIES LENDING — The Funds may lend securities from their portfolios to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. In connection with such loans, a Fund remains the beneficial owner of the loaned securities and continues to receive payments in amounts approximately equal to the interest, dividends or other distributions payable on the loaned securities. A Fund also has the right to terminate a loan at any time. A Fund does not have the right to vote on securities while they are on loan. Loans of portfolio securities will not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of a Fund’s total assets (including the value of all assets received as collateral for the loan). A Fund will receive collateral in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. If the collateral consists of cash, a Fund will reinvest the cash and pay the borrower a pre-negotiated fee or “rebate” from any return earned on the investment. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, a Fund may experience delays in recovering the loaned securities or exercising its rights in the collateral. In a loan transaction, a Fund will also bear the risk of any decline in value of securities acquired with cash collateral. Krane and a sub-adviser are subject to potential conflicts of interest because the compensation paid to them increases in connection with any net
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
income received by a Fund from a securities lending program. Each Fund pays Krane 10% of any net monthly income received from the investment of cash collateral and loan fees received from borrowers in respect of each securities loan (net of any amounts paid to the custodian and/or securities lending agent or rebated to borrowers) (see Note 4).
The following table discloses the securities on loan as of September 30, 2023:
KraneShares Funds | | Market Value Securities on Loan | | | Cash Collateral for Securities on Loan | |
KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF | | $ | 87,004,801 | | | $ | 90,193,314 | |
KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index ETF | | | 324,536 | | | | 340,822 | |

KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF | | | 827,432 | | | | 869,140 | |
CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem Shares at NAV and only in large blocks of Shares (each block of Shares for a Fund is a Creation Unit of 25,000 Shares, 50,000 Shares, 100,000 Shares, or multiples thereof). In its discretion, the Trust reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of each Fund’s shares that constitute a Creation Unit.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (‘‘DTC’’) participant and, in each case, must have executed 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 a Fund. 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 when buying or selling Shares. If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee may be charged.
The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown for the period ended September 30, 2023:

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT — The Adviser serves as investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust on behalf of each Fund and the Adviser (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, Krane is responsible for reviewing, supervising and administering each Fund’s investment program and the general management and administration of the Trust. In addition to these services, to the extent a Fund engages in securities lending, Krane will: (i) determine which securities are available for loan and notify the securities lending agent for a Fund (the “Agent”), (ii) monitor the Agent’s activities to ensure that securities loans are effected in accordance with Krane’s instructions and in accordance with applicable procedures and guidelines adopted by the Board, (iii) make recommendations to the Board regarding the Fund’s participation in securities lending; (iv) prepare appropriate periodic reports for, and seek appropriate periodic approvals from, the Board with respect to securities lending activities, (v) respond to Agent inquiries concerning the Agent’s activities, and (vi) such other related duties as Krane deems necessary or appropriate. The Board supervises Krane and establishes policies that Krane must follow in its management activities.
The Agreement requires the Adviser to pay all operating expenses of the Funds, except: (a) interest and taxes (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transaction, transfer and withholding taxes); (b) expenses of the Funds incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions and short sale dividend or interest expense; (c) expenses incurred in connection with any distribution plan adopted by the Trust in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act, including distribution fees; (d) “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” (as defined by Form N-1A under the Investment Company Act); (e) litigation expenses; (f) the compensation payable to the Adviser under the Agreement; (g) compensation and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any fees of independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees); and (h) any expenses determined to be extraordinary expenses by the Board. In addition, under the Agreement, while the fees and expenses related to the Funds’ securities lending-related activities reduce the gross revenues and income of the Funds from such activities, they are not fees and expenses for which Krane is responsible.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Each Agreement provides that each Fund pays a unitary (or unified) fee to the Adviser for advisory and management services provided to the Fund, subject to the exceptions noted herein. In this context, there exists a risk that a Trust service provider will seek recourse against the Trust if it is not timely paid by Krane for the fees and expenses for which it is responsible, which could materially adversely affect the Funds. Pursuant to the Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Funds below pay the Adviser a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at the following annual rates, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund. In addition, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser in connection with any securities lending-related activities, each Fund pays the Adviser 10% of the monthly investment income received from the investment of cash collateral and loan fees received from borrowers in respect to securities loans (net of any amounts paid to the custodian and/or securities lending agent or rebated to borrowers), included on the Statements of Operations as “Security Lending Fees”.

6. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years or periods ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 were as follows:

Uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing the taxation of income distributions and capital gains from investments in A Shares could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Funds. China generally imposes withholding tax at a rate of 10% on dividends and interest derived by non-Chinese resident investors (including, for example, Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“QFII”)) from Chinese companies and those companies which are not Chinese tax residents, but which are deemed to be Chinese tax residents (e.g., under Notice 7). China also imposes withholding tax at a rate of 10% on capital gains derived by non-residents from investment in actual and constructive Chinese resident companies. The Chinese withholding taxes applied to dividends, interest and capital gains may, in principle, be subject to a reduced rate under an applicable Chinese tax treaty,
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
but the application of such treaties in the case of a non-resident (e.g., in the case of a QFII acting on behalf of non-resident investors, such as the Funds) is also uncertain. The imposition of such taxes could have a material adverse effect on the Funds’ returns. The People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) rules regarding the taxation of non-resident investors are quickly evolving and certain of the tax regulations to be issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation and/or the PRC Ministry of Finance to clarify matters may apply retrospectively. Such retroactively applied rules may be adverse to the Funds and their shareholders. It is also unclear how China’s value added tax (“VAT”) may be affected by tax treaty provisions. If such a tax is collected, the expenses will be passed on and borne by the Funds. The imposition of such taxes, as well as future changes in applicable PRC tax law, may adversely affect the Funds. If the Funds expect VAT to be imposed, they reserve the right to establish a reserve for such tax. If the Funds establish such a reserve but are not ultimately subject to the tax, shareholders who redeemed or sold their shares while the reserve was in place will effectively bear the tax and may not benefit from the later release, if any, of the reserve. Conversely, if the Funds do not establish such a reserve but ultimately are subject to the tax, shareholders who redeemed or sold their shares prior to the tax being withheld, reserved or paid will have effectively avoided the tax, even if they benefited from investments in a Fund. Effective November 17, 2014, QFIIs, RQFIIs (i.e., QFIIs investing in Yuan, rather than foreign currency) and non-Chinese resident investors investing through the Hong Kong-Shanghai Stock Connect are exempted temporarily from the 10% capital gains tax that normally applies to sales of A Shares on a public Chinese exchange (such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange). However, such investors are still required to pay capital gains tax for gains realized on trades executed before November 17, 2014.
On November 7, 2018, China’s Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued Circular 108. This circular announced a three year exemption from corporate income tax withholding (“WHT”) and Value Added Tax (“VAT”) for China-sourced bond interest derived by overseas institutional investors. The WHT and VAT exemptions were extended to December 31, 2025.
7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
As with all exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. Each Fund is subject to certain of the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. A more complete description of principal risks is included in each Fund’s prospectus under the heading “Principal Risks”.
CHINA RISK — The Chinese economy is generally considered an emerging market and can be significantly affected by economic and political conditions in China and surrounding Asian countries. China may be subject to considerable degrees of economic, political and social instability. In addition, the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade with key partners. A downturn in the economies of China’s primary trading partners could slow or eliminate the growth of the Chinese economy and adversely impact the Fund’s investments. The Chinese government strictly regulates the payment of foreign currency denominated obligations and sets monetary policy. The Chinese government may introduce new laws and regulations that could have an adverse effect on the Fund. Although China has begun the process of privatizing certain sectors of its economy, privatized entities may lose money and/or be re-nationalized.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
In the Chinese securities markets, a small number of issuers may represent a large portion of the entire market. The Chinese securities markets are subject to more frequent trading halts, low trading volume and price volatility. Recent developments in relations between the United States and China have heightened concerns of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two countries. An increase in tariffs or trade restrictions or even the threat of such developments, could lead to significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s export industry and a commensurately negative impact on the Fund.
The RMB Bond market is volatile with a risk of trading suspensions in particular securities and government interventions. Trading in RMB Bonds may be suspended without warning and for lengthy periods. Information on such trading suspensions, including as to their expected length, may be unavailable. Securities affected by trading suspensions may be or become illiquid. In recent years, Chinese entities have incurred significant levels of debt and Chinese financial institutions currently hold relatively large amounts of non-performing debt. Thus, there exists a possibility that widespread defaults could occur, which could trigger a financial crisis, freeze Chinese debt and finance markets and make certain Chinese securities illiquid.
In addition, trade relations between the U.S. and China have recently been strained. Worsening trade relations between the two countries could adversely impact the Fund, particularly to the extent that the Chinese government restricts foreign investments in on-shore Chinese companies or the U.S. government restricts investments by U.S. investors in China including by limiting the ability of Chinese issuers to list on the U.S. exchanges. Worsening trade relations may also result in market volatility and volatility in the price of Fund shares. In addition, the U.S government has imposed restrictions on the ability of U.S. investors to hold and/or acquire securities of certain Chinese companies, which may adversely impact the Fund, may mean that the Fund’s Underlying Index may need to adjust its methodology or could increase tracking error for the Fund.
CONCENTRATION RISK — Because the assets of certain Funds are expected to be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or group of industries or sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or a group of related industries, and the securities of companies in that industry or group of industries could react similarly to these or other developments. Depending on the composition of each Fund’s Underlying Index, the Fund may be subject to principal risks, as outlined in each Fund’s prospectus. Each Fund may have significant exposure to other industries or sectors over time.
CURRENCY RISK — The Funds’ assets will be invested in instruments denominated in foreign currencies and the income received by the Fund may be in foreign currencies. The Fund will compute and expects to distribute its income in U.S. dollars, and the computation of income will be made on the date that the income is earned by the Fund at the foreign exchange rate in effect on that date. The Fund will conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions either on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time the Fund wishes to enter into the transaction, or through forward, futures or options contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies.
The Fund’s NAV is determined on the basis of the U.S. dollar. The Fund may therefore lose value if the local currency of a foreign investment depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the local currency value of the Fund’s holdings goes up. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
can change quickly and unpredictably, which may adversely affect the Fund. The Fund may also be subject to delays in converting or transferring U.S. dollars to foreign currencies and vice versa. This may adversely affect the Fund’s performance over time.
DERIVATIVES RISK — The use of derivatives (including swaps, futures, forwards, structured notes and options) may involve leverage, which includes risks that are different from, and greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in a reference asset, because a small investment in a derivative can result in a large impact on the Fund and may cause the Fund to be more volatile. Derivatives may at times be highly illiquid, and the Fund may not be able to close out or sell a derivative at a particular time or at an anticipated price. Derivatives can be difficult to value and valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil. There may be imperfect correlation between the derivative and that of the reference asset, resulting in unexpected returns that could materially adversely affect the Fund. Certain derivatives (such as swaps and options) are bi-lateral agreements that expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of derivative. In that case, the Fund may suffer losses potentially equal to, or greater than, the full value of the derivative if the counterparty fails to perform its obligations. That risk is generally thought to be greater with over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives than with derivatives that are exchange traded or centrally cleared. Counterparty risks are compounded by the fact that there are only a limited number of ways available to invest in certain reference assets and, therefore, there may be few counterparties to swaps or options based on those reference assets.
EMERGING MARKETS RISK — A Funds’ investments in emerging markets are subject to greater risk of loss than investments in developed markets. This is due to, among other things, greater market volatility, greater risk of asset seizures and capital controls, lower trading volume, political and economic instability, greater risk of market shutdown and more governmental limitations on foreign investments than typically found in developed markets. The economies of emerging markets, and China in particular, may be heavily reliant upon international trade and may suffer disproportionately if international trading declines or is disrupted.
LIQUIDITY RISK — Certain of the Funds’ investments are subject to liquidity risk, which exists when an investment is or becomes difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If a transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is or becomes illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position, which may cause the Funds to suffer significant losses and difficulties in meeting redemptions. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, market turmoil, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants, or the lack of an active trading market. Markets for securities or financial instruments could be disrupted by a number of events, including, but not limited to, an economic crisis, natural disasters, new legislation or regulatory changes inside or outside the U.S. Liquid investments may become less liquid after being purchased by the Fund, particularly during periods of market stress. In addition, if a number of securities held by the Fund stop trading, it may have a cascading effect and cause the Fund to halt trading. Volatility in market prices will increase the risk of the Fund being subject to a trading halt. Certain countries in which the Fund may invest may be subject to extended settlement delays and/or foreign holidays, during which the Fund will unlikely be able to convert holdings to cash.
MARKET RISK — The values of the Fund’s holdings could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve, and/or other government actors could cause volatility in global financial markets, negative
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
sentiment and higher levels of Fund redemptions, which could have a negative impact on the Fund and could result in losses. Geopolitical and other risks, including environmental and public health risks may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Changes in value may be temporary or may last for extended periods. Further, the Fund is susceptible to the risk that certain investments may be difficult or impossible to sell at a favorable time or price. Market developments may also cause the Fund’s investments to become less liquid and subject to erratic price movements. Such market developments may also cause the Fund to encounter difficulties in timely honoring redemptions, especially if market events cause an increased incidence of shareholder redemptions.
NON-DIVERSIFIED FUND RISK — Because a Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater portion of its assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single portfolio holding could cause greater fluctuations in the Fund’s share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a single portfolio holding or a relatively small number of portfolio holdings to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.
VALUATION RISK — Independent market quotations for the non-U.S. securities held by the Funds may not be readily available and such securities may be fair valued by a pricing service at an evaluated price. These valuations involve subjectivity and different market participants may assign different prices to the same investment. As a result, there is a risk that a Fund may not be able to sell an investment at the price assigned to the investment by the Fund. In addition, the securities in which the Funds invest may trade on days that the Funds do not price their shares; as a result, the value of Fund shares may change on days when investors cannot purchase or sell their holdings.
8. OTHER
At September 30, 2023, all shares issued by the Funds were in Creation Unit aggregations to Authorized Participants through primary market transactions (e.g., transactions directly with the Funds). However, the individual shares that make up those Creation Units are traded on the Exchange (e.g., secondary market transactions). Some of those individual shares have been bought and sold by persons that are not Authorized Participants. Each Authorized Participant has entered into an agreement with the Funds’ Distributor.
9. INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
Bosera and Nikko are referred to collectively herein as the “Sub-Advisers.” The Bosera Agreement and the Nikko Agreement are referred to collectively herein as the “Sub-Advisory Agreements,” and the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Agreements.”
In advance of the meeting, and at a separate meeting of the Independent Trustees in executive session held on May 24, 2023, the Board received and considered information provided by Krane in response to the Independent Trustees’ written requests relating to the Board’s consideration of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each of the Funds. The Board also considered information provided by each Sub-Adviser in response to separate written requests directed to each Sub-Adviser.
The Board considered that its evaluation process with respect to Krane and each Sub-Adviser is an ongoing one, and the Board considers information at each of its regularly scheduled meetings related to, among other matters, the services provided to each Fund by Krane and (as applicable) a Sub-Adviser. The Board also receives additional information from Krane outside of the regularly scheduled Board meetings, including at executive sessions held by the Independent Trustees.
In evaluating the Agreements, the Board considered, among other matters: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each Fund by Krane and, if applicable, by its respective Sub-Adviser; (2) the compensation paid by each Fund under the Advisory Agreement; (3) the costs of the services provided by Krane and the profitability of Krane with respect to its relationship with the Funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale could be realized as the Funds grow and whether the unitary fee charged to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement will enable investors in the Funds to share in any such economies of scale; and (5) other benefits Krane and the Sub-Advisers receive from their respective relationship with the Funds.
| A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services |
Based on written and oral reports received by the Board prior to and at the May 24, 2023 executive session of the Independent Trustees and the May 24-25, 2023 meeting of the Board, the Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the overall services provided by Krane and the Sub-Advisers under the Agreements. The Board considered the responsibilities of Krane with respect to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement, including its obligation to oversee the services provided by the Sub-Advisers, as applicable. The Board also discussed the nature, quality and extent of services provided by Bosera under the Bosera Agreement and Nikko under the Nikko Agreement.
The Advisory Agreement
| ● | The Board took note of the qualifications, background and responsibilities of Krane’s senior personnel who provide services to the Funds managed directly by Krane and also considered the expertise of Krane personnel charged with oversight of the Sub-Advisers. |
| ● | The Board recognized that Krane has invested and continues to invest significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and the Funds. The Board noted that Krane, together with the Sub-Advisers (if applicable), is responsible for assessing the market appeal and the investment strategy of each Fund, and that Krane continually seeks to create new series of the Trust that address unique investment strategies. |
| ● | The Board considered that Krane is responsible for arranging and overseeing service providers for the Trust. |
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
| ● | The Board also considered that Krane has established a securities lending program for the benefit of certain Funds. |
| ● | The Board noted that Krane continues to evaluate its existing compliance and operational staff, as well as its investment personnel, and that Krane continually seeks to retain qualified and experienced staff in these areas and to invest in additional resources as its business continues to grow. The Board noted the increased number of compliance personnel and investment in technology to facilitate oversight of various compliance matters. |
| ● | The Board considered the financial condition of Krane and noted that Krane is part of a larger family of investment management firms with significant resources. |
The Bosera Agreement
| ● | The Board noted the reorganization of Bosera’s ownership that was reported earlier in the year, and the continued involvement of the prior portfolio management team for both KBA and KSTR after such reorganization. |
| ● | The Board took note of the significant experience of Bosera’s portfolio management team for KBA with respect to investments in mainland China and access to the China A Share market. |
| ● | The Board noted Bosera’s access to the SSE Science and Technology Innovation Board (STAR Market), and the experience of the KSTR portfolio management team with respect to investments in China domestic technology companies. |
| ● | The Board considered the continued development of Bosera’s compliance function and its long-term relationship with the Adviser. |
The Nikko Agreement
| ● | The Board noted that investors in KHYB have access to a portfolio managed by one of the largest asset management firms in Asia with significant experience managing fixed income portfolios in Japan and across Asia. |
| ● | The Board considered that KHYB invests in high-yield bonds across the Asia Pacific region. |
| ● | The Board considered that the lead portfolio manager of KHYB has a significant tenure at Nikko and is supported by a large and experienced fixed income team. The Board noted that they had an opportunity to speak with representatives of the KHYB portfolio management team during the year. |
The Board noted that it considers the performance of each Fund versus an identified Morningstar peer group at each regular meeting of the Board. At the meeting, the Board considered each Fund’s performance versus its broad Morningstar peer group, as well as a select group of competitors identified by Krane and, in certain cases, a second peer group curated to better reflect the strategy of a particular Fund. The Board recognized that many of the Funds are in the same Morningstar peer group because they have significant exposure to China, notwithstanding meaningful differences in the Funds’ underlying indexes and investment strategies. The Board noted that it had retained a third-party consultant to review Krane’s peer selection process, and that it discussed with the consultant the limitations of comparisons versus such large and undifferentiated peer groups, considering that the Funds offer shareholders access to unique investment opportunities, particularly in China.
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
The Board noted that several of the Funds are actively managed, and it considered that the performance of each actively managed Fund relative to its respective peer group is an appropriate measurement of performance. With respect to those Funds that track the performance of an underlying index, however, the Board determined that, although relative performance to a peer group should be considered, the tracking error and/or the tracking difference of each Fund against its underlying index was a more meaningful representation of a Fund’s performance. The Board considered that, at each meeting of the Board it receives reports of the tracking error of each Fund against both its underlying index and key competitors, and noted that Krane recently expanded its quarterly tracking error report to include tracking difference against each such Fund’s underlying index.
The Board noted that each passively managed Fund tracked its benchmark within expected ranges over the last year, and that the largest contributors to tracking error with respect to such Funds were adjustments to the portfolios as a result of changes to the underlying benchmarks due to Presidential Executive Order 13959 - Addressing the Threat From Securities Investments That Finance Certain Companies of the People’s Republic of China (“E.O. 13959”). The Board considered that the tracking error of KTEC exceeded 3% for the one-year period ended March 31, 2023, and noted that this primarily resulted from adjustments to this portfolio as a result of changes to the underlying benchmarks pursuant to E.O. 13959, and to sampling/rebalancing associated with IRS diversification testing.
The Board noted the following with respect to performance of certain funds relative to their identified peer groups:
| ● | KFYP: The Board noted that KFYP underperformed the median of its peer group for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2023 due to the strong performance of the China growth sector versus the China value sector in Q4 2022. The Board recognized that KFYP outperformed against its peers for the 3-year and 5-year time periods. |
| ● | KHYB: With respect to the long-term relative underperformance of KHYB, which is an actively managed Fund, against the median of its peer group, the Board noted that the Fund’s long-term performance metrics include performance prior to August 2021 when KHYB invested solely in China. The Board considered that recent China real estate market uncertainty and Evergrande debt issues had added pressure to the Asian U.S. dollar high yield market. The Board also considered that KHYB significantly outperformed the median of its peer group over the one-year period. |
| ● | KWEB: The Board noted that KWEB’s 3- and 5-year returns were below the median for its performance peer group due to increasing regulatory pressure from the Chinese government on the internet sector, a delisting threat from the U.S. government, and a slowdown in retail sales impacted by Covid-related lockdowns in China. The Board recognized that KWEB’s 1-year return is above the median of its performance peer group as a result of the diminishing risk of delisting and an improving regulatory environment in China. |
| ● | KBA: The Board noted that KBA underperformed against the median for its performance peer group for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2023, because the improving regulatory environment in China resulted in improved performance of offshore listed companies versus the China A-shares market. |
| ● | KALL: The Board considered that KALL’s relative underperformance measured against the median for its performance peer group for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2023, resulted |
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
in part from the impact of COVID-19 on the general healthcare services industry in China, and increasing regulations in such industry.
| ● | KESG: The Board noted that KESG’s 1-year and since inception performance underperformed versus the median for its Morningstar performance peer group. The Board considered that KESG’s focus on ESG resulted in increased exposure to new China sectors such as consumer, communication services and health care, which have underperformed in the period since KESG’s inception. |
| ● | KSTR: The Board considered that KSTR has broad exposure to China domestic technology companies which resulted in longer-term performance at the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the underperformance against the median for the 1-year period resulted from increasing U.S. restrictions on investments in China’s technology sector. |
| ● | KHYB: The Board recognized that although KHYB has underperformed since inception, it outperformed against its peer group median in the past year mainly due to spreads tightening in Asia, while most other bond markets contended with steep drawdowns from rising U.S. interest rates. |
| ● | KEMQ: The Board recognized the underperformance of KEMQ measured against its peer group median due to market volatility in the emerging markets internet sector, especially the China internet sector. The Board also noted that regulatory uncertainty from both China and the U.S., and a slowing consumer spending, contributed to performance issues overall in the sector. |
| ● | KURE: The Board noted that KURE underperformed versus the median of its peer group for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2023, due to industry regulations and COVID-19’s disruption of general healthcare services. The Board recognized that KURE’s performance was above the median for the 3-year and since inception periods. |
| ● | KMED: The Board noted that KMED underperformed the peer median for the 1-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023, because the pandemic disrupted general healthcare services, while vaccine related companies benefited. |
The Board also considered other factors, including the use of fair value pricing by the Funds and the Funds’ asset inflows and outflows, which affect the performance of the Funds but not their underlying indices (if applicable). The Board considered that these factors can be expected to primarily affect the Funds’ tracking error (if applicable).
The Board considered that, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Krane has entered into a unitary advisory fee arrangement for each Fund. Under the unitary fee arrangement, Krane is responsible for paying most of the expenses incurred by a Fund, including those of the Fund’s principal service providers and Sub-Adviser (if applicable). The Board considered the information provided by Krane regarding the amounts it pays to the Funds’ service providers under the unitary fee arrangement. The Board reviewed and considered the fees paid by each Fund in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided or obtained by Krane. The Board also considered that Krane has imposed fee waivers on certain Funds and considered the net expense ratios of the Funds compared to those of their peer groups.
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
The Board noted that the management fees paid by many of the Funds are higher than the median management fee within their respective Morningstar peer groups and that the total expense ratios of many Funds are managed through the use of expense waivers. The Board considered that the Morningstar peer groups for the Funds do not reflect the unique exposure and thematic approach of the Funds and considered that the Funds’ total expense ratios are generally consistent with those of their direct peers. The Board considered that Krane applies a methodical and consistent approach to pricing the Funds and conducts significant competitive research with respect to such pricing. The Board considered that the Funds offer unique investment exposure for investors in U.S. registered funds and considered the operational costs incurred by Krane under the unitary fee structure. The Board also considered the effect of each Fund’s assets under management on its net expense ratio.
Although the Board received information regarding the fees paid to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board noted the arm’s-length nature of the relationship between Krane and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the negotiation of sub-advisory fee rates. The Board also considered that Krane (and not the Funds) pays each Sub-Adviser’s fees.
| D. | Costs and Profitability |
The Board reviewed a report of fund-by-fund profitability prepared by Krane. The Board noted it had retained an independent third-party to review Krane’s profitability methodology and that it had the opportunity to discuss with the consultant Krane’s profitability methodology and the consultant’s views regarding the level of profitability reported by Krane versus the limited amount of publicly available information regarding the profitability of other registered investment advisers.
The Board noted that Krane continues to waive fees for some of the Funds. The Board also considered that although Krane is profitable, it was not making a profit from its relationship with all of the Funds under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered Krane’s commitment to the success of the Funds and the use of a unitary fee structure under which Krane bears the risk if certain of the Funds’ expenses increase or if a Fund’s assets fail to increase to a level sufficient to cover such expenses. The Board recognized that the volatility in asset flows experienced by the Funds and Krane overall can directly affect Krane’s profitability. The Board also considered that Krane has established a securities lending program for the benefit of certain of the Funds and that fees earned by Krane from such Funds can affect the profitability of such Funds.
The Board considered the effect of each Fund’s assets under management on the potential profitability of such Fund under the unitary fee structure in light of the costs associated with the personnel, systems and equipment necessary to manage the Funds and to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements of the SEC and other regulatory bodies, as well as other expenses Krane pays in accordance with the Advisory Agreement.
The Board did not consider information regarding the costs of services provided or profits realized by the Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Funds, noting the arm’s-length nature of the relationship between Krane and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the negotiation of the sub-advisory fee rate on behalf of each Fund. The Board considered that Krane, and not the Funds, is responsible for paying the sub-advisory fees under each Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
The Board considered the extent to which Krane could derive ancillary benefits from the Funds’ operations, including benefits to Krane as a result of its ability to use the assets of certain Funds to engage in soft dollar transactions and the existence of a securities lending program for certain Funds. The Board did not observe any other potential benefits to be realized by Krane from its relationship with the Funds.
The Board considered that each Fund is managed by Krane pursuant to a unitary fee advisory agreement, pursuant to which Krane bears all of the Fund’s expenses until it gathers sufficient assets under management to, in effect, pay its own costs. As a result, the Board observed, Krane typically subsidizes each Fund for a period of time following its inception. The Board also considered that Krane continues to reinvest a significant portion of its profits in its business, including through the addition of compliance and operations personnel and investment in new compliance systems, and that any economies of scale are shared with the Funds in this manner. The Board determined to continue monitoring for potential economies of scale, but concluded that, at present, they were not a material factor for the Board to consider in connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreement.
The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance to its review, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors in their review of the Agreements. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards and judicial precedent applicable to its consideration of the Agreements. The Board noted that, as in the past, it will continue to monitor the Funds at its regular meetings, during executive sessions of the Independent Trustees and outside of the Board meetings. 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 arrangements, as outlined in the Agreements, were reasonable in light of the factors considered by the Board.
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
Approval of Advisory Agreement
At a meeting held on May 24-25, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of KraneShares Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the existing investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane”) and the Trust, on behalf of KraneShares Dynamic Emerging Markets Strategy ETF (“KEM” or “New Fund”), a new series of the Trust.
In advance of the meeting, and at a separate meeting of the Independent Trustees in executive session held on May 24, 2023, the Board received and considered information provided by Krane in response to the Independent Trustees’ written request for information regarding the New Fund and the Advisory Agreement.
The Board noted that it considers information at each of its regularly scheduled meetings related to, among other matters, the services provided by Krane to each series of the Trust, and that such information will include information related to the New Fund after it is operational. The Board considered that the Independent Trustees also receive additional information outside of regularly scheduled Board meetings and at executive sessions held by the Independent Trustees. As a result, the Board considered that its evaluation process with respect to Krane and each series of the Trust is an ongoing one.
In evaluating the Advisory Agreement with respect to the New Fund, the Board considered, among other matters: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the New Fund by Krane; (2) the proposed compensation to be paid by the New Fund under the Advisory Agreement and any related fee waiver; (3) the estimated costs of the services to be provided by Krane and the profitability expectations of Krane with respect to its relationship with the New Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale could be realized as the New Fund grows and whether the unitary fee charged under the Advisory Agreement will enable investors in the New Fund to share in any such economies of scale; and (5) other benefits Krane anticipates it may receive from its relationship with the New Fund.
| A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services |
Based on written and oral reports received by the Board prior to and at the Mary 24, 2023 executive session of the Independent Trustees and May 24-25, 2023 meeting of the Board, the Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the overall services to be provided by Krane to the New Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Board took note of the qualifications, background and responsibilities of Krane personnel who will provide services to the New Fund.
The Board considered that KEM will operate as a fund-of-funds that invests in two other series of the Trust, KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index ETF (“KEMX”) and KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF (“KALL”). The Board considered Krane’s representation that KEM will be a unique investment opportunity for retail investors to invest in an active core emerging markets fund that will strategically allocate capital between KEMX and KALL in order to weight exposure to the China market, based on Krane’s outlook for the Chinese market. The Board noted Krane’s experience in managing both KEMX and KALL.
The Board recognized that Krane invests significant time and effort in structuring new series of the Trust, including the New Fund. They considered Krane’s evaluation of the market appeal for the New Fund and considered that Krane worked with the Trust’s service providers to manage
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
the administrative and other requirements for the New Fund. The Board also noted that Krane continually evaluates its existing compliance and operational staff, as well as its investment professionals, and that Krane has consistently sought to retain qualified and experienced staff in these areas as its business has grown. The Board considered Krane’s current ownership structure, financial strength and long-term strategic plans, and noted that Krane is part of a family of investment management firms with significant resources, including administrative resources utilized by Krane.
The Board noted that, because the New Fund has not yet commenced investment operations, it has no investment performance. The Board also considered that once the New Fund commences operations, the Board will receive regular reports regarding its performance relative to its broad Morningstar peer group, as well as a select group of peers identified by Krane. The Board also considered that at its regular meetings it will receive information regarding the New Fund against the performance of an identified index. The Board considered that there are limited peers available for the New Fund.
The Board considered that, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Krane will enter into a unitary advisory fee arrangement for the New Fund. The Board considered the proposed fee for the New Fund compared to its Morningstar universe. The Board considered that Krane will waive any acquired fund fees and expenses due to KEM’s investment in KEMX and KALL, and considered the results of such waiver on KEM’s proposed advisory fee. The Board also considered that under the unitary fee arrangement, Krane will be responsible for paying most of the expenses incurred by the New Fund, including those of its principal service providers. The Board noted that, under the unitary fee structure, Krane takes the risk that the New Fund may not be successful in raising sufficient assets to enable Krane to cover the cost of such expenses.
| D. | Costs and Profitability |
The Board considered the estimated cost of Krane’s services with respect to the New Fund. The Board noted that, because the New Fund has not yet launched, it was difficult to estimate how profitable it will be to Krane, although the Board recognized that the New Fund will leverage procedures and systems put in place in connection with management of other series of the Trust. The Independent Trustees received information from Krane regarding its overall profitability, particularly in light of recent market performance, and discussed with Krane’s management how launching the New Fund could impact such profitability. The Board considered information previously provided by Krane regarding the cost of its services and its profitability with respect to the existing operational series of the Trust. The Board noted Krane’s continuing commitment to operating the Trust and its continued use of a unitary fee structure under which it will bear many of the expenses of the New Fund.
The Board considered the extent to which Krane could derive ancillary benefits from the operations of the New Fund, including, in particular, the effect KEM could have on assets of both KEMX and KALL, and the fees earned by Krane on KEMX and KALL. They noted that it was unlikely that
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
KEM would participate in the Trust’s securities lending program. The Board considered whether Krane would benefit as a result of its ability to use the New Fund’s assets to engage in soft dollar transactions.
The Board considered whether Krane would realize economies of scale with respect to its services as the New Fund grows, including the extent to which this is reflected in the level of fees to be paid by the New Fund. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fee for the New Fund does not include breakpoints, and considered that it is not possible—before the commencement of investment operations—to accurately evaluate potential economies of scale. The Board also noted that Krane continues to reinvest a portion of its profits in its business, including through the evolution of its compliance and investment infrastructure, and that any economies of scale could be shared with the New Fund in this manner. Based on these and other considerations, including that the New Fund is newly organized, the Board considered economies of scale not to be a material factor in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement.
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 their review of the Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards and judicial precedent applicable to its consideration of the Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that, consistent with its approach to other series of the Trust, it will continue to monitor the New Fund at its regular meetings, during executive sessions of the Independent Trustees and outside of the Board meetings. 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 arrangements, as outlined in the Advisory Agreement, were reasonable in light of the factors considered by the Board.
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
Approval of Advisory Agreement
At a meeting held on August 2-3, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of KraneShares Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the existing investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane”) and the Trust, on behalf of KraneShares Global Luxury Index ETF (“KLXY” or “New Fund”), a new series of the Trust.
In advance of the meeting, and at a separate meeting of the Independent Trustees in executive session held on August 2, 2023, the Board received and considered information provided by Krane in response to the Independent Trustees’ written request for information regarding the New Fund and the Advisory Agreement.
The Board noted that it considers information at each of its regularly scheduled meetings related to, among other matters, the services provided by Krane to each series of the Trust, and that going forward such information will include information related to the New Fund after it is operational. The Board considered that the Independent Trustees also receive additional information outside of regularly scheduled Board meetings and at executive sessions held by the Independent Trustees. As a result, the Board considered that its evaluation process with respect to Krane and each series of the Trust is an ongoing one.
In evaluating the Advisory Agreement with respect to the New Fund, the Board considered, among other matters: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the New Fund by Krane; (2) the proposed compensation to be paid by the New Fund under the Advisory Agreement; (3) the estimated costs of the services to be provided by Krane and the profitability expectations of Krane with respect to its relationship with the New Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale could be realized as the New Fund grows and whether the unitary fee charged under the Advisory Agreement will enable investors in the New Fund to share in any such economies of scale; and (5) other benefits Krane anticipates it may receive from its relationship with the New Fund.
| A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services |
Based on written and oral reports received by the Board prior to and at the August 2, 2023 executive session of the Independent Trustees and August 2-3, 2023 meeting of the Board, the Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the overall services to be provided by Krane to the New Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Board took note of the qualifications, background and responsibilities of Krane personnel who will provide services to the New Fund.
The Board considered that KLXY will provide indirect exposure to the China market through holdings in securities issued by global luxury brands that have significant exposure to China and its growing middle class. The Board considered that Krane believes that the size of the consumer market in China will result in sustained revenue growth across global luxury brands that have a strong social media presence and perceived status. The Board considered how Krane intends to identify and weight such investments and noted that Krane has previous experience in managing portfolios with indirect exposure to China. The Board also considered the characteristics of the Solactive Global Luxury Index, the New Fund’s underlying index, and that Krane intends to use representative sampling to track the performance of the underlying index.
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
The Board recognized that Krane invests significant time and effort in structuring new series of the Trust, including the New Fund. The Board considered Krane’s evaluation of the market appeal for the New Fund and considered that Krane worked with the Trust’s service providers to manage the administrative and other requirements for the New Fund. The Board also noted that Krane continually evaluates its existing compliance and operational staff, as well as its investment professionals, and that Krane has consistently sought to retain qualified and experienced staff in these areas as its business has grown. The Board considered Krane’s current ownership structure, financial strength and long-term strategic plans, and noted that Krane is part of a family of investment management firms with significant resources, including administrative resources utilized by Krane.
The Board noted that, because the New Fund has not yet commenced investment operations, it has no investment performance. The Board considered that once the New Fund commences operations, the Board will receive regular reports regarding its performance relative to its broad Morningstar peer group, as well as a select group of peers identified by Krane. The Board also considered that at its regular meetings it will receive information regarding the performance of the New Fund against the performance of its underlying index. The Board considered that there are limited peers available for the New Fund.
The Board considered that, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Krane will enter into a unitary advisory fee arrangement for the New Fund. The Board considered the proposed fee for the New Fund compared to its Morningstar universe, noting that the proposed fees and expenses for KLXY are higher than the median of the peer group. The Board considered that the New Fund will provide unique exposure to the global luxury sector, and that it will maintain a high level of exposure to foreign equity securities, which may effect the cost of managing the New Fund when compared to other funds in Morningstar’s U.S. Consumer Cyclical ETF peer group. The Board also considered that Krane structured the proposed fee for the New Fund in a manner that is consistent with the other thematic series of the Trust. The Board noted that under the unitary fee arrangement, Krane will be responsible for paying most of the expenses incurred by the New Fund, including those of its principal service providers. The Board noted that, under the unitary fee structure, Krane takes the risk that the New Fund may not be successful in raising sufficient assets to enable Krane to cover the cost of such expenses.
| D. | Costs and Profitability |
The Board considered an 18-month pro-forma projected profit and loss statement for the New Fund, including the estimated cost of Krane’s services with respect to the New Fund. The Board recognized that, because the New Fund has not yet launched, it was difficult to estimate how profitable it will be to Krane, although the Board recognized that the New Fund will leverage procedures and systems put in place in connection with management of other series of the Trust. The Independent Trustees also considered information from Krane regarding its overall profitability and discussed with Krane’s management how launching the New Fund could impact such profitability. The Board noted Krane’s continuing commitment to operating the Trust and its continued use of a unitary fee structure under which it will bear many of the expenses of the New Fund.
Approval of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (concluded)
The Board considered the extent to which Krane could derive ancillary benefits from the operations of the New Fund. They noted that the New Fund could participate in the Trust’s securities lending program. The Board also considered whether Krane would benefit as a result of its ability to use the New Fund’s assets to engage in soft dollar transactions.
The Board considered whether Krane would realize economies of scale with respect to its services as the New Fund grows, including the extent to which this is reflected in the level of fees to be paid by the New Fund. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fee for the New Fund does not include breakpoints, and considered that it is not possible—before the commencement of investment operations—to accurately evaluate potential economies of scale. The Board also noted that Krane continues to reinvest a portion of its profits in its business, including through the evolution of its compliance and investment infrastructure, and that any economies of scale could be shared with the New Fund in this manner. Based on these and other considerations, including that the New Fund is newly organized, the Board considered economies of scale not to be a material factor in its consideration of the Advisory Agreement.
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 their review of the Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards and judicial precedent applicable to its consideration of the Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that, consistent with its approach to other series of the Trust, it will continue to monitor the New Fund at its regular meetings, during executive sessions of the Independent Trustees and outside of the Board meetings. 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 arrangements, as outlined in the Advisory Agreement, were reasonable in light of the factors considered by the Board.
Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage expenses; and (2) ongoing costs. All ETFs have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, commissions, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. In addition, a shareholder is responsible for brokerage fees as a result of their investment in the Fund. Operating expenses such as these are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the ETF’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023).
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, including brokerage commissions on the purchases and sale of Fund shares. Therefore, the expense examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)
Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per Share at which the Funds issue and redeem Shares to Authorized Participants. It is calculated in accordance with the policies described in Note 2 in Notes to Financial Statements. The “Market Price” of the Funds generally is determined using the closing price on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Funds are listed for trading. The Funds’ Market Price may be at, above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Funds will fluctuate with changes in the market value of their holdings. The Market Price of the Funds will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAV, as well as market supply and demand of Fund Shares.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of the Funds on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that the Funds are trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that the Funds are trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. Shareholders may pay more than NAV when they buy Fund Shares and receive less than NAV when they sell those Shares, because Shares are bought and sold at Market Price.
Further information regarding premiums and discounts is available on the Funds’ website at http:// kraneshares.com. The premium and discount information contained on the website represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
