A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholders:
Thank you for investing in Hartford Multifactor Exchange-Traded Funds. The following is the Funds’ Annual Report covering the period from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.
Market Review
During the 12 months ended September 30, 2020, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 15.15%. It’s an impressive number, but doesn’t begin to
capture the drama of a pandemic-driven roller-coaster ride that plunged the world into economic depths not seen since the Great Recession.
The period began with record-low unemployment, positive stock performance, and an optimistic global growth outlook. In late 2019, for example, months of trade tensions between the U.S. and China appeared to be eased by an initial agreement on tariff and trade reforms. The so-called “Phase One” deal, coupled with progress on resolving issues surrounding the U.K.’s withdrawal from the EU and a new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement signed in January, 2020, brought calm to markets and seemed to set the stage for a strong 2020.
Instead, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic erupted in late January, and triggered a recession in economies around the world and whipsawed markets. As world leaders grappled with the “new normal” of social distancing measures, business closures, and other mitigation efforts, many investors headed for the exits in March, 2020, bringing the longest bull market in U.S. economic history to an abrupt end. By mid-April, the U.S. unemployment rate had surged to 14.7%.
But late April 2020 also brought a surprising recovery in U.S. markets, largely in response to an unprecedented economic rescue effort from central banks around the world, including the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), which reduced interest rates to near zero and pledged trillions in U.S. securities purchases.
On the fiscal side, the U.S. government unveiled a series of aggressive policy initiatives, including passage of the $2 trillion CARES Act in late March, 2020. The combined fiscal and monetary support provided a lifeline to many businesses large and small, helping to reduce the nation’s unemployment rate in September, 2020, to 7.9% – still alarmingly high compared with the record-low 3.5% in February.
By the period’s end, the U.S. had passed the grim milestone of 200,000 coronavirus deaths. A late-summer COVID-19 resurgence, particularly on college campuses, raised fears of a new pandemic phase coinciding with flu season. U.S. schools struggled with the task of safely welcoming students back to classrooms. In Washington, Congress deadlocked over providing further economic stimulus. A September market selloff served to remind investors of the likelihood of further economic uncertainty ahead.
With a COVID-19 vaccine approval timeline still uncertain, and with a volatile U.S. presidential election looming, the immediate future may seem daunting. In these unprecedented times, it’s more important than ever to maintain a strong relationship with your financial professional.
Thank you again for investing in Hartford Multifactor Exchange-Traded Funds. For the most up-to-date information on our funds, please take advantage of all the resources available at hartfordfunds.com.

Fund Overview – (continued)
September 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
Manager Discussion
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 -4.04% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 compared to the Index, which returned -3.90% 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 other operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results. International developed equity markets ended 2019 on a positive note and positive performance continued to start 2020, but stocks then endured a sharp sell-off during the first quarter due to the rapid global spread of the coronavirus which caused unprecedented market disruptions and fears of a severe economic downturn. The MSCI World ex USA Index returned -34% from February 19, 2020 to March 23, 2020. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus a pandemic, and markets experienced extreme volatility amid expectations that the pandemic would have a large and long-lasting negative impact on economic growth and earnings. Many governments and central banks took extraordinary fiscal and monetary stimulus measures to help bolster markets. Markets rebounded over the spring and summer as investor risk sentiment improved and economies stabilized, buoyed by optimism of containment of the coronavirus outbreak and re-opening of businesses. Subsequently, the MSCI World ex USA Index returned 41% from March 23, 2020 through September 30, 2020.
The Fund seeks exposures to return-enhancing factors, along with less volatility and reduced concentration at the country, sector, and market cap levels versus cap-weighted indices, and invests in companies that exhibit a favorable combination of low valuation, high momentum, and high quality. The Fund lagged its reference index, the MSCI World ex USA Index, for the one-year period ending September 30, 2020, as developed international value stocks meaningfully underperformed and the Fund’s positive active exposure to the value factor was a significant detractor from performance.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. 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. These risks may be greater in particular geographic regions or countries. • Investments focused in a sector, industry or group of industries may increase volatility and risk. • The Fund is not actively managed but rather attempts to track the performance of an index. The Fund’s returns may diverge from that of the index.

Effective 11/06/2019, the Fund changed its proprietary custom benchmark index to the Hartford Multifactor Diversified International Index from the Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity Index because Lattice, the Fund’s investment adviser, believes that the new index better reflects the Fund’s investment strategy.

Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF (“the Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return performance of the Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets Equity Index (LROEMX) (“the Index”), which tracks the performance of companies located in the emerging markets of the world.
The Fund seeks to generate returns and reduce volatility by investing in index constituents that are selected and weighted through a rules-based methodology that seeks to:
1) | Deliberately Allocate Risks by expanding the investment opportunity and seeking to harness emerging markets’ growth potential and allocating risk across countries while explicitly seeking to reduce volatility and drawdown risk. |
2) | Improve Diversification by improving exposure to countries earlier in their growth cycle (beyond the largest emerging countries) as well as to companies tied more closely to local emerging economies. |
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 -8.34% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the Index which returned -8.03% for the same period.

Fund Overview – (continued)
September 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
Manager Discussion
Hartford Multifactor Small Cap ETF (“the Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return performance of Hartford Multifactor Small Cap Index (LROSCX) (“the Index”), which tracks the performance of small cap exchange-traded equity securities.
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 small companies while explicitly seeking to reduce volatility and drawdown risk. |
2) | Improve Diversification by diversifying exposure across sectors and potentially reducing 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 -7.05% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the Index which returned -6.76% 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 other operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results.
U.S. small-cap equity markets ended 2019 on a positive note and positive performance continued to start 2020, but stocks then endured a sharp sell-off during the first quarter due to the rapid global spread of the coronavirus which caused unprecedented market disruptions and fears of a severe economic downturn. The Russell 2000 Index returned -41% from February 19, 2020 to March 23, 2020. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus a pandemic, and markets experienced extreme volatility amid expectations that the pandemic would have a large and long-lasting negative impact on economic growth and earnings. Many governments and central banks took extraordinary fiscal and monetary stimulus measures to help bolster markets. Markets rebounded over the spring and summer as investor risk sentiment improved and economies stabilized, buoyed by optimism of containment of the coronavirus outbreak and re-opening of businesses. Subsequently, the Russell 2000 Index returned 52% from March 23, 2020 through September 30, 2020.
The Fund seeks exposures to return-enhancing factors, along with less volatility and reduced concentration at the sector level versus cap-weighted indices, and invests in companies that exhibit a favorable combination of low valuation, high momentum, and high quality. The Fund lagged its reference index, the Russell 2000 Index, for the one-year period ending September 30, 2020, as small-cap value stocks meaningfully underperformed and the Fund’s positive active exposure to the value factor was a significant detractor from performance. The Fund’s smaller market cap compared to that of the reference index also detracted from performance over the one-year period.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Small cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. • Investments focused in a particular sector or industry are subject to greater market volatility risk. • The Fund is not actively managed but rather attempts to track the performance of an index. The Fund’s returns may diverge from that of the index.

Hartford Multifactor US Equity ETF (“the Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return performance of Hartford Multifactor Large Cap Index (LROLCX) (“the Index”), which tracks the performance of large-cap exchange-traded U.S. equity securities.
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 while explicitly seeking to reduce volatility and drawdown risk. |
2) | Improve Diversification by providing diversified exposure across the US Large Cap Universe, beyond mega-caps. |
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 0.92% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the Index which returned 1.06% for the same period.

The Russell 1000 Index returned -35% from February 19, 2020 to March 23, 2020.

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, 2020 through September 30, 2020. 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 the 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 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
Lattice Strategies Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end registered management investment company comprised of five series as of September 30, 2020. Financial statements for the series of the Trust listed below (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report.
Lattice Strategies Trust:
Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF (the “Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF”)
Hartford Multifactor Diversified International ETF (the “Multifactor Diversified International ETF”)
Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF (the “Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF”)
Hartford Multifactor Small Cap ETF (the “Multifactor Small Cap ETF”)
Hartford Multifactor US Equity ETF (the “Multifactor US Equity ETF”)
Multifactor Diversified International ETF commenced operations on May 10, 2017. Multifactor Small Cap ETF commenced operations on March 23, 2015. Each of the other Funds commenced operations on February 25, 2015. Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (‘‘ETF’’) that trades on an exchange like other publicly traded securities. Each Fund is designed to track an index. Shares of Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Multifactor Small Cap ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Shares of Multifactor Diversified International ETF are listed and traded on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX”). Each share of a Fund represents a partial ownership in the Fund’s assets and liabilities, including securities held by the Fund. 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 of the Funds are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘‘Securities Act’’). Each Fund is a 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 US Equity ETF and Multifactor REIT ETF are not included in this report as they were liquidated as of August 14, 2020.
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 determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the “NYSE Close”) on each day that the Exchange is open (“Valuation Date”). If the Exchange is closed due to weather or other extraordinary circumstances on a day it would typically be open for business, each Fund may treat such day as a typical business day and accept creation and redemption orders and calculate each Fund’s NAV in accordance with applicable law. The net asset value for the shares of each Fund is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to the shares by the number of shares outstanding. Information that becomes known to the Funds after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the NAV determined earlier that day. |
| b) | Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements – For purposes of calculating the NAV per share of each Fund, portfolio securities and other assets held in a 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 Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust (“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

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2020
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.
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, sell 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.
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 (“Exchange Close”). 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 Exchange 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 Exchange 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 sell 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. 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. |
The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation 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, knowledgeable brokers, and legal counsel in making such determination. The Valuation Committee reports to the Audit Committee of the Board.

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2020
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.
For additional information, refer to the Fair Valuation Summary and the Level 3 roll-forward reconciliation, if applicable, which follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
| 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. Investments purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost. |
Dividend income from domestic securities is accrued on the ex-dividend date. 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. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock are recorded as dividend income at market value. 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 such 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 dividend or interest 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.
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 Diversified International ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF is to pay dividends from net investment income and realized gains, if any, semi-annually. The policy of Multifactor US Equity ETF and Multifactor Small Cap ETF is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly. The policy of Multifactor Small Cap ETF until June 1, 2020 was to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. 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 andëeclassification of Capital Accounts notes).
3. | Securities and Other Investments: |
Restricted Securities – Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if applicable, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
4. | Financial Derivative Instruments: |
The following disclosures contain information on how and why a Fund may use derivative instruments, the credit-risk-related contingent features in certain derivative instruments, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s financial position and results of operations. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statements of Operations, each categorized by type of derivative contract, are included in the following Additional

Derivative Instrument Information footnote. The derivative instruments outstanding as of period-end are disclosed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments, if applicable. The amounts of realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
| 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, 2020, Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Diversified International ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Multifactor Small Cap ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF had used Futures Contracts.

| c) | Balance Sheet Offsetting Information – Set forth below are tables which disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and instruments and transactions that are subject to a master netting arrangement, as well as amounts related to margin, reflected as financial collateral (including cash collateral), held at clearing brokers, counterparties and a Fund’s custodian. 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 the 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, 2020:

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 that 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 that 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.
A widespread health crisis, such as a global pandemic, could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions or restrictions and closures of securities exchanges and businesses, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and adversely impact Fund performance. The current ongoing outbreak of COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the financial health of individual companies and the market in significant and unforeseen ways. The future impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains unclear. The effects to public health, business and market conditions resulting from COVID-19 pandemic may have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, including exacerbating other pre-existing political, social and economic 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 distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains during the calendar year ending December 31, 2020. 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, 2020 and September 30, 2019 are as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable, if applicable): |
| | | | | | | | |
| | For the Year Ended September 30, 2020 | | | For the Year Ended September 30, 2019 | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Ordinary Income | |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | $ | 66,697,468 | | | $ | 48,161,644 | |
Multifactor Diversified International ETF | | | 163,843 | | | | 137,798 | |
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF | | | 2,328,245 | | | | 2,004,488 | |
Multifactor Small Cap ETF | | | 463,148 | | | | 601,511 | |
Multifactor US Equity ETF | | | 6,397,955 | | | | 5,407,729 | |
As of September 30, 2020, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) for each Fund on a tax basis are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments | | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Deficit) | |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | $ | 22,470,352 | | | $ | (344,591,338 | ) | | $ | 12,385,623 | | | $ | (309,735,363 | ) |

Multifactor Small Cap ETF | | | 15,309 | | | | (3,746,132 | ) | | | (621,667 | ) | | | (4,352,490 | ) |
Multifactor US Equity ETF | | | 707,182 | | | | (31,440,901 | ) | | | 10,303,313 | | | | (20,430,406 | ) |
| 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 adjustments to the prior period accumulated balances and treatment of the tax gain/losses on redemption in-kind transactions. 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 distributable earnings or from capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Funds recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts listed below: |
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Paid-in-Capital | | | Distributable Earnings (Loss) | |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | $ | 8,834,124 | | | $ | (8,834,124 | ) |
Multifactor Diversified International ETF | | | 489,190 | | | | (489,190 | ) |

Multifactor US Equity ETF | | | 6,380,917 | | | | (6,380,917 | ) |
| e) | Tax Basis of Investments – The aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes at September 30, 2019 is different from book purposes primarily due to wash sale loss deferrals and passive foreign investment company (PFIC) mark-to-market adjustments. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments for tax purposes, which consists of gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, was also different from book purposes primarily due to wash sale loss deferrals and mark-to-market adjustments on futures and PFICs. Both the cost and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes are disclosed below: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Tax Cost | | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF | | $ | 1,987,003,480 | | | $ | 154,149,526 | | | $ | (141,903,433 | ) | | $ | 12,246,093 | |

| 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, 2020 (tax year end), each Fund’s capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Short-Term Capital Loss Carryforward with No Expiration | | | Long-Term Capital Loss Carryforward with No Expiration | |

| g) | Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – Pursuant to provisions set forth by U.S. GAAP, Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) reviews each Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years. As of September 30, 2020, HFMC 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. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. 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 Advisory Agreement – Lattice Strategies LLC (the “Adviser” or “Lattice”) serves as each Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust. Lattice is a wholly owned subsidiary of 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 Investments Corporation (“Mellon”) under a sub-advisory agreement pursuant to which Mellon 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 Mellon. |
The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to Lattice for investment advisory services rendered as of September 30, 2020; 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 Diversified International ETF | | 0.29% |
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF | | 0.44% |
Multifactor Small Cap ETF | | 0.34% |
Multifactor US Equity ETF | | 0.19% |
Prior to November 6, 2019, Multifactor Small Cap ETF paid the rate of 0.39% to Lattice for investment advisory services rendered. The rate was accrued daily and paid monthly based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.
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 under the Investment Advisory Agreement. 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, 2020, the Funds did not pay any Rule 12b-1 fees.
| c) | Other Related Party Transactions – Certain officers of the Trust are trustees and/or officers of HFMC and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer’s (“CCO”) compensation was paid by HFMC. As part of the Trust’s Chief Compliance Services Agreement, HFMC pays any CCO compensation on behalf of the Funds. |
The Trust has entered into a securities lending agency agreement (“lending agreement”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”). A Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain borrowers in U.S. and non-U.S. markets in an amount not to exceed one-third (33 1⁄3%) of the value of its total assets. If a Fund security is on loan, under the lending agreement, the borrower is required to deposit cash or liquid securities as collateral at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities; and cash collateral is invested for the benefit of the Fund by the Fund’s lending agent pursuant to collateral investment guidelines. The collateral is marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned.

A Fund is subject to certain risks while its securities are on loan, including the following: (i) the risk that the borrower defaults on the loan and the collateral is inadequate to cover the Fund’s loss; (ii) the risk that the earnings on the collateral invested are not sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan; (iii) the Fund could lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral; (iv) the risk that the borrower may use the loaned securities to cover a short sale, which may in turn place downward pressure on the market prices of the loaned securities; (v) the risk that return of loaned securities could be delayed and interfere with portfolio management decisions; and (vi) the risk that any efforts to restrict or recall the securities for purposes of voting may not be effective. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
The Funds retain loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Investment Income from securities lending. The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Investment Income from dividends or interest, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
The following table presents the market value of the Funds’ securities on loan, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received by the Funds as of September 30, 2020.

| (1) | It is each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from, or return excess collateral to, the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract. |
| (2) | Collateral received in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. |
| (3) | Net amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default. |

10. | Custodian and Transfer Agent: |
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as Custodian for the Funds pursuant to a custodian agreement (“Custodian Agreement”) dated December 31, 2014, as amended November 21, 2017. As Custodian, State Street holds each Fund’s assets, calculates the net asset value of the shares and calculates net income and realized capital gains or losses. State Street serves as Transfer Agent of each Fund pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement (“Transfer Agency and Service 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 and Service Agreement, Lattice, and not the Funds, compensates State Street pursuant to the Funds’ unitary management fee structure.
11. | Investment Transactions: |
For the year ended September 30, 2020, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

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 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, and is recorded as Other Capital on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
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 may be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown for each Fund:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Standard Creation Unit Shares | | | Standard In-Kind Creation Fee | | | Value at September 30, 2020 | | | Standard In-Kind Redemption Fee | |

Shares of Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Multifactor Small Cap ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF are listed on the NYSE Arca and shares of Multifactor Diversified International 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 a 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 trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). Multifactor US Equity ETF will only issue or redeem Creation Units of 25,000 shares to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Distributor. Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF and Multifactor Small Cap will only issue or redeem Creation Units of 50,000 shares to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Distributor. Multifactor Diversified International ETF and Multifactor Emerging Markets 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.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust shall indemnify its officers and trustees to the full extent required or permitted under the applicable laws of the State of Delaware and federal securities laws. In addition, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, as of the date of these financial statements, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
15. | Recent Accounting Pronouncement: |
The FASB issued ASU 2017-08 (the “ASU”) to amend the amortization period to the earliest call date for purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and will become effective for private entities one year later. Management has evaluated the implication of additional disclosure and determined there is no impact to 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 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has adopted this guidance and it did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
16. | Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm: |
On November 6, 2019, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, dismissed Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm effective upon the issuance of EY’s report on the Funds’ financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. EY’s report on the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal periods ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor was EY’s report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Funds’ fiscal periods ended on September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019 and through November 26, 2019 (the “Covered Period”), (i) there were no disagreements with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Funds’ financial statements for the Covered Period, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2020
On November 6, 2019, the Audit Committee of the Trust’s Board of Trustees participated in and approved the decision to engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. The selection of PwC does not reflect any disagreements with or dissatisfaction by the Trust or the Board of Trustees with the performance of the Funds’ prior independent registered public accounting firm, EY. During the Covered Period, neither the Funds, nor anyone on their behalf, consulted with PwC on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds’ financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
Management has evaluated all subsequent transactions and events through the date on which these financial statements were issued and has determined that no additional items require disclosure in these financial statements.
The affects to public health, business and market conditions resulting from the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that escalated during the first quarter of 2020 and has extended into the third quarter of 2020 may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Funds’ investments. The full extent and duration of this impact remains unclear.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of Lattice Strategies Trust and Shareholders of
Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Hartford Multifactor Diversified International ETF, Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Hartford Multifactor Small Cap ETF and Hartford Multifactor US Equity ETF
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Hartford Multifactor Diversified International ETF, Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Hartford Multifactor Small Cap ETF and Hartford Multifactor US Equity ETF (five of the funds constituting Lattice Strategies Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for the year ended September 30, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2020, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for the year then ended, and each of the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended September 30, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to September 30, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 26, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Operation of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)
This section describes the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRM Program”) established in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The LRM Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. The Liquidity Rule generally defines liquidity risk as the risk that a Fund could not meet its obligation to redeem shares without significant dilution of the non-redeeming investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Lattice Strategies Trust has appointed Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) to serve as the administrator of the LRM Program with respect to each of the Funds, subject to the oversight of the Board. In order to provide a mechanism and process to perform the functions necessary to administer the LRM Program, HFMC established a Liquidity Risk Oversight Committee (“LROC”).
The LRM Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the assessment and periodic review (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence each Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the classification and periodic review (no less frequently than monthly) of each Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under the Liquidity Rule); (4) the determination of a minimum percentage of each Fund’s assets that generally will be invested in highly liquid investments (“HLIM”); (5) the periodic review (no less frequently than annually) of the HLIM and the adoption and implementation of policies and procedures for responding to a shortfall of a Fund’s highly liquid investments below its HLIM; and (6) periodic reporting to the Board.
At a meeting of the Board held May 5-6, 2020, the LROC, on behalf of HFMC, provided a written report to the Board covering the period from the inception date of the current LRM Program through April 30, 2020. The report addressed important aspects of the LRM Program, including, but not limited to:
• | | the operation of the LRM Program (and related policies and procedures utilized in connection with management of the Funds’ liquidity risk); |
• | | an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the LRM Program’s (and related policies and procedures’) implementation; |
• | | the operation, and assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness, of each Fund’s HLIM; |
• | | whether the third-party liquidity vendor’s (“LRM Program Vendor”) processes for determining preliminary liquidity classifications, including the particular methodologies or factors used and metrics analyzed by the LRM Program Vendor, are sufficient under the Liquidity Rule and appropriate in light of each Fund’s specific circumstances; and |
• | | any material changes to the LRM Program. |
Based on the review and assessment conducted by the LROC, the LROC has concluded that the LRM Program is operating effectively to assess and manage the liquidity risk of each Fund and that the LRM Program has been and continues to be adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund. Because liquidity in the capital markets in which the Funds invest is beyond the control of the Funds, there can be no assurance that the LRM Program will ensure liquidity under all circumstances and does not protect against the risk of loss.

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each registered 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 4-5, 2020, 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 together with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) between Lattice Strategies and the Funds’ sub-adviser, Mellon Investments Corporation (the “Sub-adviser,” and together with Lattice Strategies, the “Advisers”).
In the months preceding the August 4-5, 2020 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 and in between regularly scheduled meetings on particular matters as the need arose, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the approval of the continuation of the Agreements that was presented at the Board’s meetings held on June 16-17, 2020 and August 4-5, 2020. 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 presentations by Fund officers and representatives of Lattice Strategies received at the Board’s meetings on June 16-17, 2020 and August 4-5, 2020 concerning the Agreements.
The Independent Trustees, advised by independent legal counsel throughout the evaluation process, 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 approve the continuation of the Agreements for a Fund, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated information and factors they believed to be relevant and appropriate through the exercise of their reasonable business judgment. While individual members of the Board may have weighed certain factors differently, the Board’s determination to approve the continuation of 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 throughout the evaluation process. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met separately with independent legal counsel and the Consultant on June 12, 2020 and in executive session on several occasions to consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations and to discuss the materials presented and other matters deemed relevant to their consideration of the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, factors the Board considered with respect to its approval of the continuation 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 managed by Lattice Strategies and its affiliates (the “Hartford 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 and other Hartford Funds. In this regard, the Board took into account Lattice Strategies’ and its affiliates’ communications with the Board in light of the market volatility amidst the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
|
Hartford Multifactor ETFs |
Approval of Investment Advisory and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
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 or other 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 and the Funds’ liquidity risk management program, as well as the efforts of the Advisers to combat cybersecurity risks. The Board also considered investments by Lattice Strategies and its affiliates in business continuity planning designed to benefit the Funds, and the implementation of their business continuity plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board also noted Lattice Strategies’ and its affiliates’ commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to prepare for and respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environments in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
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. In this regard, the Board evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Lattice Strategies that were not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-adviser, including the entrepreneurial and other risks assumed by Lattice Strategies in connection with sponsoring and providing ongoing services to each Fund. The Board considered that Lattice Strategies is responsible for the creation, maintenance and ongoing monitoring of each Fund’s custom proprietary benchmark index. The Board considered Lattice Strategies’ and its affiliates’ ongoing monitoring of people, process and performance, including their quarterly reviews of each of the Hartford Funds, semi-annual meetings with the leaders of each Fund’s portfolio management team, and oversight of the Hartford Funds’ portfolio managers. The Board noted that Lattice Strategies and its affiliates have demonstrated a record of initiating changes to the portfolio management and/or investment strategies of the Hartford Funds when warranted. 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 considered Lattice Strategies’ oversight of the Funds’ securities lending program and noted the income earned by the Funds that participate in such program. 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, noting that regulatory and other developments had over time led to an increase in the scope of Lattice Strategies’ oversight in this regard.
In addition, the Board considered Lattice Strategies’ and its affiliates’ ongoing commitment to review and rationalize the Hartford Funds product line-up. The Board also considered the expenses that Lattice Strategies and its affiliates had incurred, as well as the risks Lattice Strategies and its affiliates had assumed, in connection with the launch of new funds and changes to existing Hartford Funds in recent years. 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 assets of each Fund, subject to oversight by Lattice Strategies, among the other services set forth in the Sub-advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things, the Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, investment process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience. The Board considered the experience of each Fund’s portfolio managers, the number of accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and the Sub-adviser’s method for compensating the portfolio managers. The Board also considered the Sub-adviser’s succession planning practices to ensure continuity of portfolio management services provided to the Funds.
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 Lattice Strategies throughout the year, including in connection with the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. These reports include, among other things, information on each Fund’s gross returns and net returns, each Fund’s gross and net tracking difference as it relates to tracking the performance of its custom proprietary benchmark index, various statistics concerning the Fund’s portfolio, a narrative summary of various factors affecting Fund performance, and commentary on the effect of current and recent market conditions. In reviewing the tracking difference reports, the Board considered Lattice Strategies’ assessment of each Fund’s tracking difference, including information comparing each Fund’s tracking difference to both a general tracking difference range established for the Fund and the tracking difference for an appropriate group of peer funds over various periods, Lattice Strategies’ views regarding the appropriateness of the general tracking difference ranges and explanations of the factors contributing to any tracking difference.

difference, see the Fund-by-Fund synopsis below. The Board considered the Advisers’ work 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 continuation of the Agreements. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to each Fund’s performance track record.
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 also considered Lattice Strategies’ assessment of the quality of each Fund’s custom proprietary benchmark index and whether each such index was continuing to function as intended. The Board reviewed the performance of certain Funds and their custom proprietary benchmark indexes relative to unaffiliated broad-based securities market indexes and found such comparisons to be useful in evaluating the performance of such Funds and their custom proprietary benchmark indexes. The Board noted recent changes to the custom proprietary benchmark indices for certain Funds. 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’ 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 and that the sub-advisory fees are 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, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses. The Board noted that the Consultant, at the Independent Trustees’ request, performed a full review of Lattice Strategies’ process for calculating and reporting Fund profitability consistent with similar periodic reviews previously performed by the Consultant. The Board noted the Consultant’s view that such process is reasonable, sound and consistent with common industry practice.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits realized by the Advisers from their relationships with the Funds were not excessive.
Comparison of Fees and Services Provided by the Advisers
The Board considered the comparative information that had been provided at meetings on June 16-17, 2020 and August 4-5, 2020 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, actual management fees and total expense ratios relative to an appropriate group of funds selected by Broadridge (“Peer Group”). The Board considered such information from Broadridge in consultation with the Consultant. 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, among other differences, 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 views of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses.
The Board received information regarding fees charged by Lattice Strategies to other clients that are mutual funds with investment strategies similar to those of Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF and Hartford Multifactor US Equity ETF. The Board reviewed information about structural, operational and other differences between the Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF and Hartford Multifactor US Equity ETF and the other mutual fund clients, including differences in the services provided by Lattice Strategies to each type of product and differences in the marketplace in which each type of product must compete.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
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 considered, 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 in respect of the management of a Fund would benefit Lattice Strategies due to the unitary fee structure of the Fund, but that the unitary fee protects shareholders from a rise in operating costs and/or a decline in Fund assets and is a transparent means of informing the Fund’s shareholders of the fees associated with the Fund. The Board considered that each Fund could share in the benefits from economies of scale as assets in the Fund grow. The Board noted that each Fund’s management fee does not contain breakpoints. However, the Board considered that Lattice Strategies shares anticipated or potential economies of scale with shareholders in a variety of ways, including through 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. The Board also noted that, for each of the Hartford Multifactor Small Cap ETF and Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, the Fund’s current low asset levels means that the Fund has achieved limited, if any, economies of scale.
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 any future growth in each Fund’s assets and the appropriateness of any potential future management fee 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
Solely for purposes of the Fund-by-Fund discussion below, the Board noted that Fund performance is referred to as “in line with” a Fund’s custom proprietary benchmark index where the Fund’s net tracking difference relative to its custom proprietary benchmark index was within a range previously established by the Board as of March 31, 2020.
Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF

Hartford Multifactor Diversified International ETF
• | | The Board considered that the Fund’s performance was in line with its custom proprietary benchmark index for the 1-year period, noting that the Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return performance of its custom proprietary benchmark index.

The Board noted that certain changes had recently been made to the Fund’s custom proprietary benchmark index and principal investment strategies. |
• | | The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee and total expenses were in the 1st quintile of its Peer Group, while its actual management fee was in the 2nd quintile. In considering the Fund’s expenses, the Board noted the shareholder savings expected to result from a permanent fee reduction implemented in 2019. |

* * * *
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 continuation of 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.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Board of Trustees of the registrant (the “Board”) has designated David Sung as an Audit Committee Financial Expert. Mr. Sung is considered by the Board to be an independent trustee.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
| (a) | Audit Fees: The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were: |
$112,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019; $80,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.
| (b) | Audit Related Fees: The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item were: |
$0 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019; $0 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.
| (c) | Tax Fees: The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning were: |
$85,817 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019; $88,562 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. Tax-related services are principally in connection with, but not limited to, general tax compliance services, and excise tax review.
| (d) | All Other Fees: The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item were: |
$0 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019; $0 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.
| (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.
The Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit services and non-audit services that the independent registered public accounting firm provides to the Fund.
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.
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.
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.
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) One hundred percent of the services described in items 4(b) through 4(d) were approved in accordance with the Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy. As a result, none of such services was approved pursuant to paragraph (c) (7) (i) (c) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
| (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, 2020, were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees. |
| (g) | The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant were: |
Non-Audit fees: $85,817 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019; $88,562 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.
| (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. |
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

| (a) | The registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are generally effective to provide reasonable assurance, as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of the report that includes the disclosure required by this paragraph, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)). |
| (b) | There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting. |
