Item 1. Reports to Stockholders.
Dear Shareholders:
Thank you for investing in Hartford Multifactor ETFs. The following is the Funds’ Annual Report covering the year from October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018.
Market Review
During the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 saw positive returns. During this period, the S&P 500 Index generated a 10.56% total return.
As of the end of the third calendar quarter 2018, there were more than 35 days when the S&P 500 Index closed 1% higher or lower than the previous day, which is more than triple the number of 1% swings experienced in all of 2017. Rising interest rates, inflation anxiety, and concerns surrounding U.S. tariffs and trade policies have all contributed to the return of market volatility.
Throughout 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) continued its cycle of interest-rate increases. As of the end of September, short-term rates range from 2% to 2.25%. At the time of this writing, expectations were for a continued gradual increase through the end of this calendar year. Central banks overseas are also expected to begin unwinding their accommodative policies by raising interest rates, which may impact global markets.
Going forward, politics both at home and abroad are likely to continue playing a key role in driving market movements. For example, protectionist U.S. trade policies have sparked concern and uncertainty among some investors.
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 financial 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 ETFs. For the most up-to-date information on our funds, please take advantage of all the resources available at hartfordfunds.com.

Manager Discussion
September 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
Hartford Multifactor Developed Market (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”), that 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 4.85% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 compared to the Index, which returned 4.95% 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 a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have an impact on the Fund’s performance during the period.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee a fund will achieve its stated objective. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political and economic developments. • Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. • Due to its investment strategy, the Fund may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs.

Manager Discussion
September 30, 2018 (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”), that tracks the performance of companies located in both developed and emerging markets.
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 selecting low volatility companies while balancing sector risk and reducing volatility and drawdown risk. |
2) | Improve Diversification by diversifying exposure across developed (excluding the US) and emerging economies while balancing risk across sectors. |
3) | Enhance Return Potential by selecting companies exhibiting the low volatility factor while maintaining 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 5.16% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 as compared to the Index which returned 5.25% 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 a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have an impact on the Fund’s performance during the period.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee a fund will achieve its stated objective. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • 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 investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political and economic developments. These risks may be greater for investments in emerging markets. • Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. • Due to its investment strategy, the Fund may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs.

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. |
The Fund returned 3.27% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 as compared to the Index which returned 3.71% for the same period.

Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee a fund will achieve its stated objective. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • A concentration in real estate securities, such as REITs, may subject a 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 may invest in a smaller number of issuers, so it may be more exposed to risks and volatility than a more broadly diversified fund. • Due to its investment strategy, the Fund may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs.

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, 2018 through September 30, 2018. To the extent a Fund was subject to acquired fund fees and expenses during the period, acquired fund fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio 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 extraordinary expenses and interest expense). Expenses are equal to a Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

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 the New York Stock Exchange (ordinarily 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) (“NYSE Close”) 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 as set forth in the Funds’ prospectus or statement of additional information or 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. |

| b) | Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements – For purposes of calculating the NAV of each Fund, portfolio securities and other assets held in the Fund’s portfolio for which market prices are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official close price or last reported trade price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers (including evaluated prices), or independent pricing services. Pricing vendors may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, general market conditions, news, and other factors and assumptions. |
If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, a Fund will use the fair value of the security or other instrument as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board of the Trustees of the Trust (the “Board of Trustees”) (“Valuation Procedures”). Market prices are considered not readily available where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s portfolio holdings or assets. In addition, market prices are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities or other instruments trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. Fair value pricing is subjective in nature and the use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the NAV of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would have been calculated using market prices at the close of the exchange on which a portfolio holding is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that a Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if the Fund were to sell the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV.
Prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets will generally be adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close. Securities and other instruments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the foreign securities or other instruments in which a Fund invests may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations) held by a Fund are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. 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 derivatives, such as options, futures and options on futures, are valued at the last sale price determined by the exchange where such instruments principally trade as of the close of such exchange. If a last sale price is not available, the value will be the mean of the most recently quoted bid and ask prices as of the NYSE Close. If a mean of the bid and ask prices cannot be calculated for the day, the value will be the most recently quoted bid price as of the NYSE Close. Over-the-counter derivatives are normally valued based on prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using the prevailing spot currency 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 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.
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, if any, are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the Valuation Date. Shares of investment companies listed and traded on an exchange are valued in the same manner as any exchange-listed equity security. Such open-end mutual funds and listed investment companies 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 the Valuation Procedures.
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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

Hartford Multifactor ETFs |
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2018
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; foreign equities, which are principally traded on certain foreign markets and are adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close; 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. |
The Board of Trustees has approved procedures that govern the valuation of portfolio investments, including in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. The Board of Trustees has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for implementing these procedures to the Valuation Committee. 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 of Trustees.
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 ETF 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. Please refer to Note 8 for Securities Lending Information.
| 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 may also be subject to taxes withheld on foreign dividends from securities in which the Fund invests. The amount of any foreign taxes withheld and foreign tax expense is included on the accompanying Statements of Operations as a reduction to net investment income or 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, 2018
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 amounts may vary significantly from period to period and realized gains, if any, are paid at least once a year. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times 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, 2018. |
4. | Financial Derivative Instruments: |
| a) | Futures Contracts – A Fund may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a set price on a future date. A Fund may use futures contracts to manage risk or obtain exposure to the investment markets, commodities, or movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the investments held by a Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) an amount of cash or U.S. Government or Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate amount equal to the change in value (“variation margin”) is paid or received by a Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. |
During the year ended September 30, 2018, Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF, Multifactor REIT ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF used Futures Contracts.
| b) | Foreign Currency Contracts – A Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts that obligate the Fund to purchase or sell currencies at specified future dates. Foreign currency contracts may be used in connection with settling purchases or sales of securities to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of a Fund’s investments and/or as part of an investment strategy. Foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. A Fund will record a realized gain or loss when the foreign currency contract is settled. Foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts and from unanticipated movements in the |

The master netting arrangements allow the clearing brokers to net any collateral held in or on behalf of a Fund, or liabilities or payment obligations of the clearing brokers to a Fund, against any liabilities or payment obligations of a Fund to the clearing brokers. A Fund is required to deposit financial collateral (including cash collateral) at a Fund’s custodian on behalf of clearing brokers and counterparties to continually meet the original and maintenance requirements established by the clearing brokers and counterparties. Such requirements are specific to the respective clearing broker or counterparty. Certain master netting arrangements may not be enforceable in a bankruptcy. |
The following tables present a Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities, presented on a gross basis as no amounts are netted within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement or similar agreement (“MNA”) and net of the related collateral received/pledged by a Fund as of September 30, 2018:

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.
The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related derivative investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of equity securities may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
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 distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains during the calendar year ending December 31, 2018. 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, 2018 and September 30, 2017 are as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable, if applicable): |

Fund | | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments | | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Deficit) | |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | $ | 6,542,666 | | | $ | (19,848,889 | ) | | $ | 10,517,476 | | | $ | (2,788,747 | ) |

| 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 expiration of capital loss carryforwards and write-off of net operating losses and accounting for in-kind redemptions. 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 year ended September 30, 2018, the Funds recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts listed below: |
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Paid-in-Capital | | | Distributable earnings (loss) | |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | $ | 11,867,504 | | | $ | (11,867,504 | ) |

| e) | Tax Basis of Investments – GAAP/tax differences in cost and unrealized gain/loss are primarily attributed to wash sale loss deferrals and PFIC mark-to-market adjustments.

| f) | Capital Loss Carryforward – Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. |
At September 30, 2018 (tax year end), each Fund’s capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Perpetual Short-Term Capital Loss Carryforward | | | Perpetual Long-Term Capital Loss Carryforward | |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | $ | 18,678,259 | | | $ | 1,170,630 | |

| 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, 2018, 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 three years, no examination is currently in progress. Management 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 Advisory Agreement – Lattice Strategies LLC (“the Adviser”) serves as each Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory 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 BNY Mellon Asset Management North America Corporation (“BNY Mellon AMNA”) under a sub-advisory agreement pursuant to which BNY Mellon AMNA performs the daily investment of the assets of each Fund in accordance with each Fund’s investment objective and policies. Each Fund pays a fee to Lattice, a portion of which may be used to compensate BNY Mellon AMNA. |
The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to Lattice for investment advisory services rendered as of September 30, 2018; 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 | | 0.29% |
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF | | 0.49% |

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) 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 Adviser also does not pay any acquired fund fees and expenses. 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.
| 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% of each Fund’s average daily net assets may be made for the sale and distribution of its Shares. The Board has determined that the Funds 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 no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will 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 asset-based charges. |
For the year ended September 30, 2018, the Funds did not pay any Rule 12b-1 fees.
Each Fund may lend Fund securities to certain creditworthy borrowers in U.S. and non-U.S. markets in an amount not to exceed one third (331⁄3%) 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 interest 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 is 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 seek to 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 who administer the lending program for the Funds in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board. 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 has been approved by the Board to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds and the Trust has entered into an agreement 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 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 securities loaned may cause a Fund to lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price.

State Street serves as Transfer Agent of each Fund pursuant to a transfer agency agreement (“Transfer Agency Agreement”) dated February 13, 2018. As Transfer Agent, State Street maintains the records of each Authorized Participant’s ownership of each Fund and processes the purchases and redemptions of Creation Units.
For the services provided under the Custodian Agreement and Transfer Agency Agreement, the Adviser, and not the Funds, compensates State Street pursuant to the Funds’ unitary management fee structure.

The 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 a 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. Each 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. 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 or outside of the Clearing Process, a higher transaction fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown for each Fund:

Shares of Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF, Multifactor REIT ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF are listed on the NYSE Arca and shares of Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF and Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF are listed on the Cboe BZX. Shares of each Fund are publicly traded. Retail investors may purchase or sell shares in the secondary market (not from the Fund) through a broker or dealer. Investors purchasing or selling shares in the secondary market may pay a commission, market premium or discount or other transaction charge, to a broker or dealer, as well as some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered price for each purchase or sale transaction. Unless imposed by a broker or dealer, there is no minimum dollar amount upon purchase and no minimum number of shares that must be purchased in the secondary market. Because transactions in the secondary market occur at market prices, an investor may pay more than NAV upon purchase of shares and may receive less than a Fund’s NAV upon sale of shares.
Because each Fund is structured as an ETF, individual Shares may only be purchased and sold on the listing exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of Shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, Shares may

The FASB recently issued ASU 2017-08[1] (the “ASU” or “Update”) to amend the amortization period to the earliest call date for purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The ASU is available here, and becomes effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for private entities one year later. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of additional disclosure and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The update introduces new fair value disclosure requirements, eliminates some prior fair value disclosure requirements, and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of additional disclosure and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds comprising Lattice Strategies Trust at September 30, 2018, the results of their operations, changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The financial highlights of the Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Hartford Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF and Hartford Multifactor US Equity ETF, for the period presented through September 30, 2015, were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 24, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Hartford investment companies since 2002.

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 August 7-8, 2018, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Lattice Strategies Trust (the “Trust”), including each of the Independent Trustees, unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) by and between the Trust, on behalf of each of its funds listed above (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and Lattice Strategies LLC (“Lattice Strategies”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC; and (ii) a separate investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) between Lattice Strategies and the Funds’ sub-adviser, BNY Mellon Asset Management North America Corporation (the “Sub-adviser,” and together with Lattice Strategies, the “Advisers”).
In the months preceding the August 7-8, 2018 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. 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 meetings held on June 19-20, 2018 and August 7-8, 2018. Information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on Fund performance, including tracking difference, legal, compliance and risk management matters, sales and marketing activity, 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 meetings on June 19-20, 2018 and August 7-8, 2018 concerning the Agreements.
The Independent Trustees, advised by independent legal counsel, engaged service providers to assist them with evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, as applicable. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, was retained to provide the Board with reports on how each Fund’s contractual advisory fees and overall expense ratio compared to those of comparable investment companies with similar investment objectives. The Independent Trustees also engaged an independent financial services consultant (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating the Funds’ respective advisory fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance. In addition, the Consultant reviewed the profitability methodologies used by Lattice Strategies in connection with the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In determining whether to continue 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 continue the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically with respect to the continuation 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,
|
Hartford Multifactor ETFs |
Approval of Investment Advisory and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
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 any 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 Investment Advisory 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 index. 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 investment 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. The Board also considered the entrepreneurial and other risks assumed by Lattice Strategies in connection with sponsoring and providing ongoing services to each Fund.
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 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 index. 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 difference as it relates to tracking the performance of its custom proprietary benchmark index, various statistics concerning the Fund’s portfolio, and a narrative summary of various factors affecting Fund performance. In reviewing the tracking difference reports, the Board considered Lattice Strategies’ assessment of each Fund’s tracking difference, including information with respect to general tracking difference ranges and explanations for any tracking difference. The Board noted that each Fund’s tracking difference relative to its custom proprietary benchmark index was within an acceptable range given that Fund’s particular circumstances. The Board considered the Advisers’ cooperation with the Investment Committee, which assists the Board in evaluating the performance of each Fund at periodic meetings throughout the year and specifically with respect to the approval of the Agreements. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to each Fund’s performance track record.
|
Hartford Multifactor ETFs |
Approval of Investment Advisory and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
The Board reviewed the performance of each Fund relative to its custom proprietary benchmark index as well as the performance of both the Fund and it custom proprietary benchmark index relative to an unaffiliated broad-based securities market index. While the Board primarily evaluated each Fund’s performance by reviewing the Fund’s tracking difference relative to its custom proprietary benchmark index, the Board found the comparison of the performance of each Fund and its custom proprietary benchmark index relative to an unaffiliated broad-based securities market index useful in evaluating the performance of the Fund and its custom proprietary benchmark index. The Board also considered that Lattice Strategies believes that each Fund’s custom proprietary benchmark index was continuing to function as intended.
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, both overall and for each Fund, 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 concluded that the profitability of the Sub-adviser is a less relevant factor with respect to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
The Board considered the Consultant’s review of the methodologies and estimates used by Lattice Strategies in calculating profitability in connection with the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, noting the Consultant’s view that Lattice Strategies’ process for calculating and reporting Fund profitability is reasonable and consistent with the process previously reviewed by the Consultant. In this regard, the Board noted that the Consultant had previously performed a full review of this process and reported that such process is sound and consistent with common industry practice.
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 meetings on June 19-20, 2018 and August 7-8, 2018 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 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 an appropriate group of funds selected by Broadridge (“Peer Group”). 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 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. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and recommendations of the Consultant relating to 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
|
Hartford Multifactor ETFs |
Approval of Investment Advisory and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
by a Fund would benefit Lattice Strategies due to the unitary fee structure of the 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, as well as additional investments in Lattice Strategies’ business and the provision of improved or additional infrastructure and services to the Funds and their shareholders, 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. 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.
Fund-by-Fund factors
With respect to the following Fund-by-Fund discussion, the Board noted that Fund performance was considered “in line with” a Fund’s custom proprietary benchmark index where its gross performance was 0.5% above or below the custom proprietary benchmark index return.

* * * *
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 continue 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 on several occasions, with independent legal counsel and the Consultant, to review the relevant materials and consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

| | |
| | (e) | | Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures |
| | | | (1) The Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures (the “Policy”) adopted by the Audit Committee of the Registrant (also, the “Fund”) sets forth the procedures pursuant to which services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm for the Registrant may be pre-approved. 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”). There were no fees billed for services provided to the Adviser described in paragraphs (b)-(d) of Item 4 that were required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee as described in paragraph (e)(1) of Item 4. |
| | |
| | (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, 2018, 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, 2018, 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: $69,713 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018; $24,522 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. |

| | (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. |
