A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Thank you for investing in Hartford Multifactor Exchange-Traded Funds. The following is the Funds’ Annual Report, covering the period from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017.
Market Review
During the 12 months ended September 30, 2017, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 kept an upward trajectory. Overall, the S&P 500 Index has
climbed throughout the year, returning more than 18% through September 30.
The primary drivers of market progress during the period were slow, steady growth, positive corporate earnings, positive job reports, and a growing domestic economy. These market conditions have served as the basis of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest-rate hike cycle that began in December 2015 and continued through June 2017, when short-term rates rose by 0.25% to a range of 1% to 1.25%. At the time of this writing, consensus expectations were for a continued gradual increase in interest rates by the Fed, which should help markets better digest and account for such changes.
Going forward, politics at home and abroad are likely to continue to help drive market movements. In the U.S., there is uncertainty about potential policy changes by the Trump administration surrounding healthcare and tax reform. Following three major hurricanes affecting the U.S. territory, deadlines for Congress to pass its 2018 budget and debate lifting the debt ceiling have been pushed back in an effort to tie federal funding for disaster relief to the bills. Additionally, concerns about possible nuclear action from North Korea may be contributing to economic uncertainty.
In Europe, while Macron’s victory in France was generally viewed as market-friendly, uncertainty remains, for example, with respect to Britain’s “Brexit” undertaking to leave the European Union. This scenario could influence markets or cause an uptick in volatility.
For this reason, we encourage you to maintain a strong relationship with your financial advisor, who can help guide you through shifting markets confidently. He or she can help you proactively build a portfolio that takes market uncertainty into account, along with your unique investment goals and risk tolerances. Your advisor can help you find a fit within our family of funds as you work toward those goals.
Thank you again for investing in Hartford Multifactor Exchange-Traded Funds. For the most up-to-date information on our Exchange-Traded Funds suite, please take advantage of all the resources available at hartfordfunds.com/ETF.

Manager Discussion
September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return performance of Hartford Risk-Optimized Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) Index (LRODMX) (the “Index”), which tracks the performance of companies located in major developed markets of Europe, Canada, and the Pacific Region.
The Fund seeks to generate returns by investing in index constituents that are selected and weighted through a rules-based methodology that seeks to:
1) | Deliberately Allocate Risks by providing exposure to the growth potential of international companies while explicitly seeking to reduce volatility and drawdown risk. |
2) | Improve Diversification by diversifying exposure across developed market economies and potentially reducing individual country, currency, and individual company risks. |
3) | Enhance Return Potential by selecting companies with a favorable combination of low valuation (50%), high momentum (30%), and high quality (20%) investment factors. |
4) | Maintain Consistency by reapplying the index methodology twice a year in March and September to maintain intended investment exposures. |
The Fund returned 18.18% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 compared to the Index, which returned 18.43% for the same period. The difference in returns between the Fund and the Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results. Derivatives were not used in the Fund during the period and did not have an impact on the Fund’s performance during the period.
A Word about Risk
All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. Foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. Due to the investment strategy of this Fund it may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

1) | Deliberately Allocate Risks by expanding the investment opportunity and seeking to harness emerging markets’ growth potential and allocating risk across countries. |

Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF |
Manager Discussion
September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return performance of Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity Index (LLVINX) (the “Index”), which is designed to outperform a capitalization-weighted universe of developed and emerging markets located outside the U.S. with up to one quarter less volatility over a complete market cycle.
The Fund seeks to generate returns by investing in index constituents that are selected and weighted through a rules-based methodology that seeks to:
1) | Deliberately Allocate Risks by combining the selection of low volatility companies, favorable intra-portfolio correlations, and sector risk balancing while explicitly seeking to reduce volatility and drawdown risk. |
2) | Improve Diversification by diversifying exposure across developed (excluding the US) and emerging economies while seeking to balance risk across sectors. |
3) | Enhance Return Potential by selecting companies exhibiting the low volatility factor and seeking to maintain positive exposure to other potentially return-enhancing factors such as value, momentum, and quality. |
4) | Maintain Consistency by reapplying the index methodology twice a year in March and September to maintain intended investment exposures. |
The Fund returned 6.84% at net asset value (“NAV”) since inception (May 10, 2017) to September 30, 2017 as compared to the Index which returned 7.10% for the same period. The difference in returns between the Fund and the Index was primarily the result of the Fund’s transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results. Derivatives were not used in the Fund during the period and did not have an impact on the Fund’s performance during the period.
A Word about Risk
The Fund is new and has a limited operating history. All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund may experience more than a minimum level of volatility as there is no guarantee that the underlying index’s strategy of seeking to lower volatility will be successful. Foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty. These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. Due to the investment strategy of this Fund it may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

The Fund seeks to generate returns by investing in index constituents that are selected and weighted through a rules-based methodology that seeks to:
1) | Deliberately Allocate Risks by balancing risk across property types and selecting US REITs with income and growth potential. |
2) | Improve Diversification by reducing concentration at the property type and individual company levels. |
3) | Enhance Return Potential by selecting companies with a favorable combination of high quality (50%), high momentum (30%), and low valuation (20%) investment factors. |
4) | Maintain Consistency by reapplying the index methodology twice a year in March and September to maintain intended investment exposures. |

A Word about Risk
All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. A concentration in real estate securities, such as REITs, may subject the Fund to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate as well as the risks related to the way real estate companies are organized and operated. Real estate is sensitive to changes in interest rates and general and local economic conditions and developments. The fund is non-diversified, so it may be more exposed to the risks associated with single issuers than a diversified fund. Due to the investment strategy of this Fund it may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

The Fund seeks to generate returns by investing in index constituents that are selected and weighted through a rules-based methodology that seeks to:
1) | Deliberately Allocate Risks by allocating capital deeper in the US Large Cap Universe toward companies with more favorable risk/reward potential. |
2) | Improve Diversification by providing diversified exposure across the US Large Cap Universe, beyond mega-caps. |

Expense Examples (Unaudited)
Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including investment management fees and certain other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period of April 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017, except as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The first set of columns of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second set of columns of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of shares of the Funds. Therefore, the second set of columns of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different exchange-traded funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. Expense ratios may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the management fee (including expenses of the independent trustees and their counsel, extraordinary expenses and interest expense). Expenses are equal to a Fund’s annualized expense ratios multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Shares of a Fund may be purchased or redeemed directly from the Fund in Creation Units at net asset value (“NAV”) only by certain large institutional investors (‘‘Authorized Participants’’) who have entered into agreements with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (‘‘ALPS’’ or the ‘‘Distributor’’), the Funds’ Distributor.
The assets of each Fund are separate, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 15, 2014 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The shares (‘‘Shares’’) of the Funds are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘‘Securities Act’’). Each Fund, except Multifactor REIT ETF, is a diversified open-end management investment company. Multifactor REIT ETF is a non-diversified open-end management investment company. Each Fund applies specialized accounting and reporting standards under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF and Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF commenced operations on May 10, 2017. Multifactor REIT ETF commenced operations on October 3, 2016.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies: |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of each Fund used in the preparation of its financial statements, which are in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP may require 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.
| a) | Determination of Net Asset Value – The NAV of each Fund’s shares is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of the Fund (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities) by the total number of Shares outstanding. Expenses and fees, including the management fees, are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining net asset value. The net asset value of a Fund is calculated by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) and determined as of the close of the regular trading session on which it is traded (i.e., NYSE Arca or Bats BZX) (ordinarily 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day that such exchange is open (“Valuation Date”). Fixed-income assets are generally valued as of the announced closing time for trading in fixed-income instruments in a particular market or exchange. Creation/redemption order cut-off times may be earlier on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (or applicable exchange or market on which a Fund’s investments are traded) announces an early closing time. Any assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars at market rates on the date of valuation (generally as of 4:00 p.m. London time) as quoted by one or more sources. |
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2017
| b) | Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements – For purposes of calculating the NAV of each Fund, the Fund’s investments are generally valued using market valuations. A market valuation generally means a valuation (i) obtained from an exchange, a pricing service, or a major market maker (or dealer), (ii) based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service, or a major market maker (or dealer) or (iii) based on amortized cost. In the case of shares of other funds that are not traded on an exchange, a market valuation means such fund’s published net asset value per share. Lattice Strategies LLC (“Lattice” or the “Adviser”) may use various pricing services, or discontinue the use of any pricing service, as approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) from time to time. A price obtained from a pricing service based on such pricing service’s valuation matrix may be considered a market valuation. |
The Board generally reviews and approves the “Procedures for Valuation of Portfolio Investments” at least once a year. These procedures define how investments are to be valued, including the formation and activities of the Valuation Committee. The Trust’s Valuation Committee, which is chaired by the Trust’s Treasurer, is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of investments when the value cannot be obtained from primary pricing services or alternative sources or if the valuation of an investment as provided by the primary pricing service or alternative source is believed not to reflect the investment’s fair value as of the Valuation Date. The Valuation Committee will consider all relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value, and may seek the advice of such Fund’s sub-adviser, as applicable, knowledgeable brokers, and legal counsel in making such determination. The Valuation Committee reports to the Audit Committee of the Board. The Audit Committee receives quarterly written reports that include details of all fair-valued investments, including the reason for the fair valuation, and an indication, when possible, of the accuracy of the valuation by disclosing the next available reliable public price quotation or the disposition price of such investments (the “lookback” test). The Board then must consider for ratification all of the fair value determinations made during the previous quarter.
In the event that current market valuations are not readily available or such valuations do not reflect current market value, the Trust’s procedures require the Valuation Committee to determine a security’s fair value. In determining such value the Valuation Committee may consider, among other things, (i) price comparisons among multiple sources, (ii) a review of corporate actions and news events, and (iii) a review of relevant financial indicators (e.g., movement in interest rates and market indices and prices from each Fund’s Index Provider). In these cases, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect certain portfolio securities’ fair values rather than their market prices. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by the Fund’s benchmark index. This may result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the applicable Fund’s benchmark index. With respect to securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges, the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or sell your Shares.
Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations), non-exchange traded derivatives and centrally cleared swaps held by a Fund are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services in accordance with procedures established by the Board. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term exceeded 60 days.
Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price or last trade price determined by the relevant exchange as of the close of such exchange. If a last trade price is not available, the value will be the mean of the bid and ask prices as of the close of such exchange. If a mean of the bid and ask prices cannot be calculated for the day, the value will be the bid price as of the close of such exchange. In the case of options privately negotiated in the OTC market (“OTC options”) and such instruments that do not trade on an exchange, values may be supplied by a pricing service using a formula or other objective method that may take into consideration the style, direction, expiration, strike price, notional value and volatility or other special adjustments.
Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from independent pricing services for calculation of the NAV. As a result, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities or other instruments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the exchange on which a Fund is listed is closed and the market value may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares of a Fund.
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2017
Foreign currency contracts represent agreements to exchange currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. Foreign currency contracts are valued using foreign currency exchange rates and forward rates as provided by an independent pricing service on the Valuation Date.
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the Valuation Date. Such open-end mutual funds may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses.
Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service may be valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the respective financial instrument in accordance with procedures established by the Board.
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The U.S. GAAP fair value measurement standards require disclosure of a fair value hierarchy for each major category of assets and liabilities. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:
| • | | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. Level 1 may include exchange traded instruments, such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, rights and warrants. |
| • | | Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar investments; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 may include debt investments that are traded less frequently than exchange traded instruments and which are valued using independent pricing services; senior floating rate interests, which are valued using an aggregate of dealer bids; short-term investments, which are valued at amortized cost; and swaps, which are valued based upon the terms of each swap contract. |
| • | | Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by limited or no market activity. Level 3 may include financial instruments whose values are determined using indicative market quotes or require significant management judgment or estimation. These unobservable valuation inputs may include estimates for current yields, maturity/duration, prepayment speed, and indicative market quotes for comparable investments along with other assumptions relating to credit quality, collateral value, complexity of the investment structure, general market conditions and liquidity. This category may include investments where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these investments are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these investments reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a reasonable representation of exit price. |
Valuation levels are not necessarily indicative of the risk associated with investing in such investments. Individual investments within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than those presented above, as individual circumstances dictate.
| c) | Investment Transactions and Investment Income – Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost. |
Dividend income from domestic securities is accrued on the ex-dividend date. The Multifactor REIT Fund dividend income and capital gain loss amounts include estimates based on prior year REIT allocations. In general, dividend income from foreign securities is recorded on the ex-date; however, dividend notifications in certain foreign jurisdictions may not be available in a timely manner and as a result, a Fund will record the dividend as soon as the relevant details (i.e., rate per share, payment date, shareholders of record, etc.) are publicly available. Interest income, including amortization of premium, accretion of discounts, inflation adjustments and additional principal received in-kind in lieu of cash, is accrued on a daily basis.
| d) | Taxes – A Fund may be subject to taxes imposed on realized gains on securities of certain foreign countries in which such Fund invests. A Fund many also be subject to taxes withheld on foreign dividends from securities in which the invests. The amount of foreign taxes withheld and foreign tax expense is included on the accompanying Statements of Operations as a reduction to net realized gain on investments in these securities, if applicable. |
| e) | Foreign Currency Transactions – Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the Valuation Date. Purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions. |
A Fund does not isolate that portion of portfolio investment valuation resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of investments held. Exchange rate fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying financial statements.
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2017
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
| f) | Dividend Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board. Dividends and/or distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. The policy of Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF and Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF is to pay dividends from net investment income and realized gains, if any, semi-annually. The policy of Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF, Multifactor REIT ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly, but may vary significantly from period to period and realized gains, if any, at least once a year. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. |
Income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing (see Federal Income Taxes: Distributions and Components of Distributable Earnings and Reclassification of Capital Accounts notes).
3. | Securities and Other Investments: |
| a) | Illiquid and Restricted Investments – Each Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments. Illiquid investments are those that may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days, at approximately the price used to determine a Fund’s NAV. A Fund may not be able to sell illiquid investments when its sub-adviser considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such investments at a price that is lower than the price that could be obtained if the investments were more liquid. A sale of illiquid investments may require more time and may result in higher dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of those that are liquid. Illiquid investments also may be more difficult to value due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such investments, and an investment in them may have an adverse impact on a Fund’s NAV. Each Fund may also purchase certain investments that can only be resold to certain qualified investors and may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines established by the Board. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for illiquid or restricted investments as of September 30, 2017. |
A Fund’s investments expose it to various types of risks associated with financial instruments and the markets. A Fund may be exposed to the risks described below. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of its principal risks.
Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, whether directly or indirectly, involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other protectionist measures; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; and greater social, economic and political uncertainties. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.
Securities lending involves the risk that a Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. A Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for the loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for a Fund that lends its holdings.
| a) | Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) by distributing substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders each year. Each Fund has distributed substantially all of its income and capital gains in prior years, if applicable, and intends to |
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2017
| distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains during the calendar year ending December 31, 2017. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
| b) | Net Investment Income (Loss), Net Realized Gains (Losses) and Distributions – Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of losses deferred due to wash sale adjustments, foreign currency gains and losses, adjustments related to Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFICs”), Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), RICs, certain derivatives and partnerships. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by each Fund. |
| c) | Distributions and Components of Distributable Earnings – The tax character of distributions paid by each Fund for the years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 are as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable, if applicable): |
| | | | | | | | |
| | For the Year Ended September 30, 2017 | | | For the Year Ended September 30, 2016 | |

As of September 30, 2017, the components of distributable earnings (deficit) for each Fund on a tax basis are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses(1) | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments(2) | | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Deficit) | |

Multifactor US Equity ETF | | | 8,981 | | | | (1,913,436 | ) | | | 3,820,289 | | | | 1,915,834 | |
| (1) | The Funds have capital loss carryforwards that are identified in the Capital Loss Carryforward note that follows. |
| (2) | Differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) may be attributable to the losses deferred due to wash sale adjustments, foreign currency gains and losses, adjustments related to PFICs, REITs, RICs, certain derivatives and partnerships. |
| d) | Reclassification of Capital Accounts – The Funds may record reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the total net assets of the Funds. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between U.S. GAAP and tax accounting for such items as foreign currency, Passive Foreign Investment Companies, expiration or utilization of capital loss carryforwards or net operating losses. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of the Funds’ distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets as from undistributed net investment income, from accumulated net realized gains on investments or from capital depending |

| on the type of book and tax differences that exist. For the period ended September 30, 2017, the Funds recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts listed below: |

| e) | Tax Basis of Investments – The aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes at September 30, 2017 was substantially the same for book purposes. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments, which consists of gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, is disclosed below: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| f) | Capital Loss Carryforward – On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which made changes to the capital loss carryforward rules. The changes are effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under prior regulation. |
At September 30, 2017 (tax year end), the capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Unlimited Short-Term Capital Loss Carryforward | | | Unlimited Long-Term Capital Loss Carryforward | |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | $ | 2,762,515 | | | $ | 950,432 | |
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF | | | 2,768,759 | | | | 837,262 | |

Multifactor REIT ETF | | | 90,353 | | | | — | |
Multifactor US Equity ETF | | | 1,355,456 | | | | 557,980 | |
During the year ended September 30, 2017, Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF utilized $6,849 of prior year capital loss carryforwards.

| g) | Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – Pursuant to provisions set forth by U.S. GAAP, management reviews each Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years. As of September 30, 2017, management had reviewed the open tax years and concluded that there was no reason to record a liability for net unrecognized tax obligations relating to uncertain income tax positions. Each Fund files U.S. tax returns. Although the statute of limitations for examining a Fund’s U.S. tax returns remains open for 3 years, no examination is currently in progress. HFMC is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax obligations will significantly change in the next twelve months. |
| a) | Investment Management Agreement – Lattice Strategies LLC (“Lattice” or “Adviser”) serves as each Fund’s investment manager pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with the Trust. Lattice is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”), which is an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”). Lattice has overall investment supervisory responsibility for each Fund. In addition, Lattice provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of each Fund. Lattice has contracted with Mellon Capital Management Corporation (“Mellon Capital”) under a sub-advisory agreement and Mellon Capital performs the daily investment of the assets of each Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. Each Fund pays a fee to Lattice, a portion of which may be used to compensate Mellon Capital. |
The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to Lattice for investment management services rendered as of September 30, 2017; the rates are accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, at the following annual rates:
| | |
Fund | | Management Fee Rates |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | 0.39% |
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF | | 0.59% |
Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF | | 0.55% |
Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF | | 0.39% |
Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF | | 0.29% |
Multifactor REIT ETF | | 0.45% |
Multifactor US Equity ETF | | 0.29% |
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Funds listed below paid the following rates to Lattice for investment management services rendered:
| | |
Fund | | Management Fee Rates |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | 0.50% |
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF | | 0.65% |
Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF | | 0.60% |
Multifactor REIT ETF | | 0.45% |
Multifactor US Equity ETF | | 0.35% |
From time to time, the Adviser may waive all or a portion of its fee. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser agrees to pay all expenses of the Trust, except (i) brokerage expenses and other expenses (such as stamp taxes and acquired fund fees and expenses) connected with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions; (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) extraordinary expenses; (iv) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and (v) the advisory fee payable to the Adviser hereunder. The payment or assumption by the Adviser of any expense of the Trust that the Adviser is not required by the Investment Advisory Agreement to pay or assume shall not obligate the Adviser to pay or assume the same or any similar expense of the Trust on any subsequent occasion.
On December 8, 2016, the Board of the Trust approved an Amendment to the Advisory Agreement that resulted in the Advisor being contractually obligated to pay for the expenses of each of the Funds (with the exception of Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF and Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF) that were previously reimbursed pursuant to the Expense Reimbursement
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2017
Agreement. This Amendment was effective January 1, 2017. As a result of the Amendment, the Expense Reimbursement Agreement was no longer necessary and was terminated by the Board effective January 1, 2017.
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Adviser had contractually agreed to reimburse the fees and expenses of the Trustees of the Trust who are not officers, directors/trustees, partners or employees of the Adviser or its affiliates (“Independent Trustees”) and their independent counsel. For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Trustees’ expenses for the applicable funds were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Trustee Expense | |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | $ | 9,686 | |
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF | | | 7,567 | |
Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF | | | 5,162 | |
Multifactor REIT ETF | | | 3,278 | |
Multifactor US Equity ETF | | | 8,717 | |
| b) | Distribution Plans – Each Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act pursuant to which payments of up to 0.25 percent of each Fund’s average daily net assets may be made for the sale and distribution of its Shares. Effective December 12, 2014, the Board has determined that each of the Funds (with the exception of Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF and Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF for which the Board made this determination as of December 8, 2016) may not make payments under the Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan until authorized to do so by affirmative action of the Board. No Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are currently no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they would be paid out of the respective Fund’s assets, and over time, these fees increase the cost of your investment and they may cost you more than certain other types of sales charges. |
For the period ended September 30, 2017, the Funds did not pay any Rule 12b-1 fees.
Each Fund may lend Fund securities to certain borrowers in U.S. and non-U.S. markets in an amount not to exceed one third (33 1⁄3 percent) of the value of its total assets. The borrowers provide collateral that is marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. A Fund may terminate a loan at any time and recall the securities loaned. A Fund receives the value of any dividends or cash or non-cash distributions paid on the loaned securities. A Fund cannot vote proxies for securities on loan, but may recall loans to vote proxies if a material issue affecting the Fund’s economic interest in the investment is to be voted upon. Interest earned on securities out on loan are not eligible for qualified interest income for federal tax purposes. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, a Fund may experience delays in recovering the securities or exercising its rights in the collateral. Loans are made only to borrowers that are deemed by the securities lending agent to be of good financial standing. In a loan transaction, a Fund will also bear the risk of any decline in value of securities acquired with cash collateral received by the Fund. Each Fund will minimize this risk by limiting the investment of cash collateral to high quality instruments of short maturity. This strategy is not used to leverage a Fund.
With respect to loans that are collateralized by cash, the borrower will be entitled to receive a fee based on the amount of cash collateral. A Fund is compensated by the difference between the amount earned on the reinvestment of cash collateral and the fee paid to the borrower. In the case of collateral other than cash, a Fund is compensated by a fee paid by the borrower equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities. Any cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of the lending Fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, which may include those managed by the Adviser. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default.
A Fund may pay a portion of the interest or fees earned from securities lending to a borrower as described above, and to one or more securities lending agents approved by the Board of Trustees who administer the lending program for the Funds in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees. In such capacity, the lending agent causes the delivery of loaned securities from a Fund to borrowers, arranges for the return of loaned securities to the Fund at the termination of a loan, requests deposit of collateral, monitors the daily value of the loaned securities and collateral, requests that borrowers add to the collateral when required by the loan agreements, and provides recordkeeping and accounting services necessary for the operation of the program. State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) has been approved by the Board to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds and the Trust has entered into an agreement
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2017
with State Street for such services. Among other matters, the Trust has agreed to indemnify State Street for certain liabilities. Any securities lending income earned by a Fund appears on the Statements of Operations net of any fees paid to State Street for serving as the securities lending agent.
Securities lending involves exposure to certain risks, including operational risk (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process – especially so in certain international markets such as Taiwan), ‘‘gap’’ risk (i.e., the risk of a mismatch between the return on cash collateral reinvestments and the fees a Fund has agreed to pay a borrower), risk of loss of collateral, credit, legal, counterparty and market risk. Although State Street has agreed to provide a Fund with indemnification in the event of a borrower default, a Fund is still exposed to the risk of losses in the event a borrower does not return a Fund’s securities as agreed. For example, delays in recovery of lent securities may cause a Fund to lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price.
At September 30, 2017, the following Funds had securities on loan at value, cash collateral and non-cash collateral as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Market Value of Securities on Loan | | | Cash Collateral | | | Non-Cash Collateral | |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | $ | 8,693,331 | | | $ | 1,432,620 | | | $ | 7,740,956 | |

Each Fund will issue and redeem Shares at NAV only with certain Authorized Participants in large increments known as ‘‘Creation Units’’. Purchases of Creation Units are made by tendering a basket of designated securities to the Fund and redemption proceeds are paid with a basket of securities from the Fund with a balancing cash component to equate the market value of the basket securities delivered or redeemed to the NAV per Creation Unit on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery. The Fund’s shares are available in smaller increments to individual investors in the secondary market at market prices and may be subject to commissions. Authorized Participants may be required to pay a transaction fee when purchasing and redeeming Creation Units of the Fund. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.
Purchase or redemption of Creation Units is only available to an Authorized Participant through a broker, dealer, bank or other entity. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a ‘‘Participating Party,’’ (i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process of the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC) (‘‘Clearing Process’’), or (2) a participant of DTC (‘‘DTC Participant’’), and, in each case, must have executed an agreement (‘‘Participation Agreement’’) with the Distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units.
If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:

September 30, 2017
Each Fund is structured as an ETF, individual Fund Shares may only be purchased and sold on the listing exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of Fund Shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF will only issue or redeem Creation Units of 50,000 shares to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Distributor. Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF, Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF and Multifactor REIT ETF will only issue or redeem Creation Units of 100,000 shares to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Distributor. The Funds generally will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a designated basket of securities (and an amount of cash) that the Fund specifies each day. The Funds do not impose any restrictions on the frequency of purchases and redemptions; however, the Funds reserve the right to reject or limit purchases at any time.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Lattice Strategies Trust,
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Lattice Strategies Trust (comprising, respectively, Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Hartford Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF, Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF, Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF, Hartford Multifactor REIT ETF, and Hartford Multifactor US Equity ETF) (the “Trust”) as of September 30, 2017, and the related statements of operations for the year or period then ended and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years or period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of the Trust for the periods presented through September 30, 2015, were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 24, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform audits of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers and others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective series constituting Lattice Strategies Trust at September 30, 2017, and the results of their operations for the year or period then ended and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years or period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Premium/Discount Information
The tables that follow present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a Fund and that Fund’s net asset value. Net asset value, or ‘‘NAV,’’ is the price per share at which each Fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The ‘‘Market Price’’ of each Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of such Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Each Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the fair value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of each Fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand. Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. The following information shows the frequency distributions of premiums and discounts for each of the Funds included in this report. The information shown for each Fund is for the fund listing date through the date of the fiscal year end. The specific periods covered for each Fund are disclosed in the table for such Fund.
Each line in the table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements
Lattice Strategies Trust
Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF
Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each investment company’s board of trustees, including a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the investment company, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), initially approve, and annually review and consider the continuation of, the investment company’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At its meeting held on December 8, 2016, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Lattice Strategies Trust (the “Trust”), including each of the Independent Trustees, unanimously voted to approve for an initial two-year period (i) an investment advisory agreement for the Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF and the Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) with Lattice Strategies LLC (“Lattice Strategies”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC, and (ii) a separate investment sub-advisory agreement between Lattice Strategies and the Funds’ sub-adviser, Mellon Capital Management Corporation (the “Sub-adviser,” and together with Lattice Strategies, the “Advisers”) (collectively, the “Agreements”).
Prior to approving the Agreements, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to the Advisers on behalf of the Independent Trustees and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses (the “Adviser Materials”). In addition, the Board received presentations from representatives of the Advisers regarding each Fund and its investment strategy.
In determining whether to approve the Agreements for each Fund, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated information and factors they believed to be relevant and appropriate in light of the information that the Board deemed necessary and appropriate through the exercise of its reasonable business judgment. While individual members of the Board may have weighed certain factors differently, the Board’s determination to approve the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board with respect to the approval of the Agreements. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in connection with its evaluation of the Agreements and, throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Funds. The Independent Trustees were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, factors the Board considered with respect to its approval of the Agreements is provided below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by the Advisers
The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each Fund by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements and the range of services to be provided by the Advisers. The Board considered the Advisers’ organizational structure, systems and personnel. The Board also considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial strength and the Board’s past experience with the Advisers with respect to the services they provide to other series of the Trust. The Board also considered that Lattice Strategies had experience advising other “strategic beta” ETFs.
With respect to Lattice Strategies, the Board noted that, under the Agreements, Lattice Strategies would be responsible for the management of each Fund, including oversight of fund operations and service providers. The Board also noted that Lattice Strategies would provide administrative services to each Fund as well as investment advisory services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising the Funds’ sub-adviser, and that Lattice Strategies had recommended to the Board that the Sub-adviser be appointed as the sub-adviser to each Fund. The Board considered that Lattice Strategies is responsible for the creation and maintenance of each Fund’s custom proprietary benchmark. The Board considered the proposed services to be provided by Lattice Strategies and, in its consideration of these services, the Board noted Lattice Strategies’ ongoing monitoring of people, process and performance and oversight of the portfolio managers to the Funds. The Board considered that Lattice Strategies would oversee the Sub-adviser’s investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades and other trading operations by the Sub-adviser and approach to risk management with respect to each Fund and the service providers to the Funds. The Board also considered that Lattice Strategies would oversee each Fund’s compliance with its objective and policies as well as with applicable laws and regulations. Moreover, the Board considered that Lattice Strategies would oversee potential conflicts of interest between each Fund’s investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by each Fund’s portfolio management personnel. In addition, the Board considered that Lattice Strategies or its affiliates would be responsible for providing the Funds’ officers.
With respect to the Sub-adviser, which would be responsible for the daily investment of the Funds’ assets, subject to oversight by Lattice Strategies, among the other services set forth in the sub-advisory agreement, the Board considered the Sub-adviser’s investment process, its investment research capabilities and resources, its performance record, its trade execution capabilities and its experience.
Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements – (continued)
The Board also considered information provided by the Advisers regarding their compliance policies and procedures and compliance history, and received a representation from Lattice Strategies that the written compliance policies and procedures of each of Lattice Strategies and the Sub-adviser are reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each Fund by Lattice Strategies and the Sub-adviser.
Performance of the Sub-adviser
The Board considered the investment performance of the Sub-adviser and its portfolio management team, including, for purposes of considering the investment skill and experience of the Sub-adviser, performance data showing the Sub-adviser’s capabilities in managing other funds with investment strategies similar to those proposed for each Fund. Lattice Strategies also provided additional information about the broad range of the portfolio management team’s investment experience and their investment process.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied that Lattice Strategies and the Sub-adviser have the capability of providing satisfactory investment performance for each Fund.
Costs of the Services and Profitability of the Advisers
In considering the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fee schedules for each Fund, the Board reviewed information regarding Lattice Strategies’ estimated costs to provide investment management and related services to each Fund and the estimated profitability to Lattice Strategies and its affiliates from all services to be provided to each Fund and all aspects of their relationships with the Funds. The Board considered that Lattice Strategies would pay all expenses of the Trust, except for: (i) brokerage expenses and other expenses (such as stamp taxes) connected with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions; (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) extraordinary expenses; (iv) any distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and (v) the advisory fees payable to Lattice Strategies. In evaluating Lattice Strategies’ estimated profitability, the Board considered Lattice Strategies’ representation that the level of estimated profitability was fair and reasonable based on the nature and quality of the services to be provided to shareholders. The Board also noted that the actual profitability of each Fund to Lattice Strategies would depend on the growth of the Fund’s assets. The Board also received information relating to the operations and profitability of the Sub-adviser as they relate to certain other series of the Trust. The Board considered representations from Lattice Strategies that the Sub-adviser’s fees were negotiated at arm’s length on a fund-by-fund basis and that the sub-advisory fees would be paid by Lattice Strategies and not the Funds. Accordingly, the Board determined that the profitability of the Sub-adviser is a less relevant factor with respect to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with each Fund would not be excessive.
Comparison of Fees and Services to be Provided by the Advisers
The Board considered comparative information with respect to the management fees to be paid by each Fund to Lattice Strategies and the expected total expense ratio of each Fund. The Board also considered the proposed sub-advisory fees to be paid by Lattice Strategies to the Sub-adviser with respect to each Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from Lattice Strategies and the Sub-adviser relating to the proposed management and sub-advisory fees and total operating expenses for each Fund. The Board also reviewed information comparing each Fund’s proposed management fees and expected total expenses relative to a peer universe of funds derived from information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board considered the inherent limitations of such comparisons in light of uncertainty as to how the fees of such similar funds are set and potentially material differences between each Fund and its comparable funds. In connection with these considerations, the Board took account of the fact that each Fund would pay a monthly management fee to Lattice Strategies in return for providing investment advisory and administrative services under an all-in “unitary” fee structure.
In considering the reasonableness of each Fund’s proposed fees and projected total expense ratio, the Board considered that, according to the information provided by Broadridge, each Fund’s proposed management fees and estimated total expense ratio were below the average and median of an appropriate group of peer funds (“Peer Group”) identified by Broadridge. The Board further considered that the Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF’s proposed management fees and estimated total expenses fell within the 1st quintile of its Peer Group.
Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements – (continued)
The Board also considered that the Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF’s proposed management fees and estimated total expenses fell within the 2nd quintile of its Peer Group.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that each Fund’s proposed fees and projected total operating expenses, in conjunction with the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters discussed, were reasonable in light of the services to be provided.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered information regarding the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether the Fund’s corresponding fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s future shareholders. The Board also considered that any economies of scale achieved by either Fund would benefit Lattice Strategies due to the unitary fee structure of each Fund. The Board considered Lattice Strategies’ representation that each Fund could be expected to achieve some economies of scale as assets in the Fund grow. The Board considered that the Funds would not have management fee breakpoints. In addition, the Board considered that initially setting competitive fee rates and pricing each Fund to scale at inception are other means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders.
The Board also considered how any benefits from economies of scale would be realized by the various parties. The Board reviewed relevant information included in the Adviser Materials regarding comparative breakpoint information for other funds in each Fund’s Peer Group. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the extent to which economies of scale would be shared for the benefit of each Fund’s future shareholders. The Board noted, however, that it would review future growth in each Fund’s assets and the appropriateness of any potential future breakpoints as part of its future annual review of the Agreements.
Other Benefits
The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds.
* * * *
Based upon its review of these various factors, among others, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders for the Board to approve the Agreements. In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met separately in executive session with independent legal counsel to review the relevant materials and consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each investment company’s board of trustees, including a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the investment company, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), annually review and consider the continuation of the investment company’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At its meeting held on September 21, 2017, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Lattice Strategies Trust (the “Trust”), including each of the Independent Trustees, unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of an investment advisory agreement (the “Management Agreement”) by and between the Trust, on behalf of each of its funds listed above (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) with Lattice Strategies LLC (“Lattice Strategies”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC; and (ii) a separate investment sub-advisory agreement between Lattice Strategies and the Funds’ sub-adviser, Mellon Capital Management Corporation (the “Sub-adviser,” and together with Lattice Strategies, the “Advisers”) (collectively, the “Agreements”).
In the months preceding the September 21, 2017 meeting, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to the Advisers on behalf of the Independent Trustees and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses (the “Adviser
Approval of Investment Advisory and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
Materials”). In addition, the Board considered such additional information as it deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, as applicable, with respect to each Fund, which included information furnished to the Board at its meetings throughout the year, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the approval of the Agreements that was presented at the Board’s meeting held on September 21, 2017. Information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on Fund performance, legal and compliance matters, sales and marketing activity, shareholder services, and the other services provided to each Fund by the Advisers and their affiliates. The Board also considered the materials and in-person presentations by Fund officers and representatives of Lattice Strategies received at the Board’s meeting on September 21, 2017 concerning the Agreements.
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, was retained to assist the Independent Trustees with evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, as applicable. Broadridge was retained to provide the Board with reports on how each Fund’s contractual management fees and overall expense ratio compared to those of comparable investment companies with similar investment objectives.
In determining whether to approve the Agreements for a Fund, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated information and factors they believed to be relevant and appropriate in light of the information that the Board deemed necessary and appropriate through the exercise of its reasonable business judgment. While individual members of the Board may have weighed certain factors differently, the Board’s determination to approve the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically with respect to the approval of the Agreements. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in connection with its evaluation of the Agreements and, throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Funds. The Independent Trustees were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, factors the Board considered with respect to its approval of the Agreements is provided below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisers
The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements and the range of services provided by the Advisers. The Board considered the Advisers’ professional personnel who provide services to the Funds, including each Adviser’s ability and experience in attracting and retaining qualified personnel to service the Funds. The Board considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial strength, as well as its willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to enhance services to the Funds. In addition, the Board considered the quality of each Adviser’s communications with the Board and responsiveness to Board inquiries and requests made from time to time with respect to the Funds.
The Board also requested and evaluated information concerning each Adviser’s regulatory and compliance environment. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information about each Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures, compliance history, and a report from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer about each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and compliance issues raised by regulators. The Board also noted the Advisers’ support of the Funds’ compliance control structure, as applicable, and, in particular, the resources devoted by the Advisers in support of the Funds’ obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, as well as the efforts of the Advisers to combat cybersecurity risks and invest in business continuity planning.
With respect to Lattice Strategies, the Board noted that, under the Management Agreement, Lattice Strategies is responsible for the management of the Funds, including oversight of fund operations and service providers, and the provision of administrative and investment advisory services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising the Sub-adviser. The Board considered that Lattice Strategies is responsible for the creation and maintenance of each Fund’s custom proprietary benchmark. The Board considered Lattice Strategies’ ongoing monitoring of people, process and performance and oversight of the Funds’ portfolio managers. The Board considered Lattice Strategies’ periodic due diligence reviews of the Sub-adviser and ongoing oversight of the Sub-adviser’s investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades and other trading operations by the Sub-adviser, and approach to risk management with respect to the Funds and the service providers to the Funds. The Board also considered Lattice Strategies’ day-to-day oversight of each Fund’s compliance with its objective and policies as well as with applicable laws and regulations. Moreover, the Board considered Lattice Strategies’ oversight of potential conflicts of interest between the Funds’ investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by the Funds’ portfolio management personnel.
The Board considered that Lattice Strategies or its affiliates are responsible for providing the Funds’ officers.
With respect to the Sub-adviser, which is responsible for the daily investment of the Funds’ assets, subject to oversight by Lattice Strategies, the Board considered, among other things, the quality of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the Sub-adviser’s other investment personnel, its
Approval of Investment Advisory and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
investment process, its investment research capabilities and resources, its performance record, its trade execution capabilities and its experience. The Board considered the experience of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the number of accounts managed by the portfolio manager(s), and the Sub-adviser’s method for compensating the portfolio manager(s).
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by Lattice Strategies and the Sub-adviser.
Performance of each Fund and the Advisers
The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. In this regard, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund over different time periods presented in the materials and evaluated Lattice Strategies’ analysis of the Fund’s performance for these time periods. The Board considered information and materials provided to the Board by the Advisers concerning Fund performance, including information comparing each Fund’s investment performance to the performance of its custom proprietary benchmark. For details regarding each Fund’s performance, see the fund-by-fund synopsis below.
The Board considered the detailed investment analytics reports provided by each Adviser throughout the year, including in connection with the approval of the Agreements. These reports include, among other things, information on each Fund’s gross returns and net returns, each Fund’s tracking error as it relates to tracking the performance of its custom proprietary benchmark, various statistics concerning the Fund’s portfolio, and a narrative summary of various factors affecting Fund performance. In reviewing the tracking error reports, the Board considered Lattice Strategies’ assessment of each Fund’s tracking error, including information with respect to general tracking error ranges and explanations for any tracking error
In light of all the considerations noted above, the Board concluded that it had continued confidence in Lattice Strategies’ and the Sub-adviser’s overall capabilities to manage the Funds.
Costs of the Services and Profitability of the Advisers
The Board reviewed information regarding Lattice Strategies’ cost to provide investment management and related services to each Fund and Lattice Strategies’ estimated profitability, for each Fund at various projected asset levels, on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the Sub-adviser. The Board considered representations from Lattice Strategies and the Sub-adviser that the Sub-adviser’s fees were negotiated at arm’s length on a fund-by-fund basis and that the sub-advisory fees would be paid by Lattice Strategies and not the Funds. Accordingly, the Board determined that the profitability of the Sub-adviser is a less relevant factor with respect to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by the Advisers from their relationships with the Funds would not be excessive.
Comparison of Fees and Services Provided by the Advisers
The Board considered the comparative information that had been provided at a meeting on September 21, 2017 with respect to the services rendered to and the management fees to be paid by each Fund to Lattice Strategies and the total expense ratio of the Fund. The Board considered that Lattice Strategies would pay all expenses of the Trust, except for (i) brokerage expenses and other expenses (such as stamp taxes) connected with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions; (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) extraordinary expenses; (iv) any distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and (v) the advisory fee payable to Lattice Strategies. The Board also considered comparative information with respect to the sub-advisory fees to be paid by Lattice Strategies to the Sub-adviser with respect to each Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from Lattice Strategies and the Sub-adviser relating to the management and sub-advisory fees, including the sub-advisory fee schedule for each Fund, and total operating expenses for each Fund. The Board also reviewed information from Broadridge comparing each Fund’s contractual management fees and overall expense ratio relative to a group of funds selected by Broadridge (“Peer Group”) and a broader universe of funds selected by Broadridge. For details regarding each Fund’s expenses, see the fund-by-fund synopsis below.
The Board considered the methodology used by Broadridge to select the applicable Peer Groups. While the Board recognized that comparisons between a Fund and its Peer Group may be imprecise given the different service levels and characteristics of the investment companies and the
Approval of Investment Advisory and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
different business models and cost structures of the Advisers, the comparative information provided by Broadridge assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses, in conjunction with the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters discussed, were reasonable in light of the services provided.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered information regarding the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as a Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund. The Board also considered that any economies of scale achieved by a Fund would benefit Lattice Strategies due to the unitary fee structure of each Fund. The Board considered that each Fund could achieve some economies of scale as assets in the Fund grow. The Board considered that the Funds do not have management fee breakpoints. In addition, the Board considered that initially setting competitive fee rates and pricing each Fund to scale at inception are other means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders.
The Board also considered how any benefits from economies of scale would be realized by the various parties. The Board reviewed relevant information included in the Adviser Materials regarding comparative breakpoint information in the Peer Groups for certain Funds. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the extent to which economies of scale would be shared for the benefit of each Fund’s shareholders. The Board noted, however, that it would review future growth in each Fund’s assets and the appropriateness of any potential future breakpoints as part of its future annual review of the Agreements.
Other Benefits
The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds.

Based upon its review of these various factors, among others, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders for the Board to approve the Agreements for an additional year. In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met separately in executive session, with independent legal counsel, to review the relevant materials and consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

The following are some main provisions from the Policy.
| 1. | The Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit services and non-audit services that the independent registered public accounting firm provides to the Fund. |
| 2. | The Audit Committee must pre-approve any engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to provide non-audit services to any Service Affiliate (which is defined to include any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund) during the period of the independent registered public accounting firm’s engagement to provide audit services to the Fund, if the non-audit services to the Service Affiliate directly impact the Fund’s operations and financial reporting. |
| 3. | The Audit Committee shall pre-approve certain non-audit services to the Fund and its Service Affiliates pursuant to procedures set forth in the Policy. |
| 4. | The Audit Committee, from time to time, may designate one or more of its members who are Independent Trustees (each a “Designated Member”) to consider, on the Audit Committee’s behalf, any non-audit services, whether to the Fund or to any Service Affiliate, that have not been pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Designated Member also shall review, on the Audit Committee’s behalf, any proposed material change in the nature or |
extent of any non-audit services previously approved. In considering any requested non-audit services or proposed material change in such services, the Designated Member shall not authorize services which would exceed $50,000 in fees for such services.
| 5. | The independent registered public accounting firm may not provide specified prohibited non-audit services set forth in the Policy to the Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser, the Service Affiliates or any other member of the investment company complex. |
(2) There were no pre-approval requirements waived for the services provided to the Registrant described in paragraphs (b)-(d) of Item 4 by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “De Minimis Rule”).

| (f) | None of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2017, were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees. |
| (g) | For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Registrant’s Adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provided ongoing services to the Registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the Registrant were: |
| | Non-Audit fees: $24,522 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017; $0 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. |
| (h) | The registrant’s audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
