Pacer Funds
Dear Shareholder,
Looking back on this past fiscal year, I am filled with gratitude and pride. As a company, we have surpassed milestones such as growing our assets under management to over $6 billion and building our team to serve more financial advisors and their clients across the country. Our unique model, which centers around the distribution of our exchange traded funds (ETFs) through the financial advisor community, continues to be our focus.
Our goal, from our inception nearly five years ago, has been to design innovative products to help investors and financial advisors meet their objectives. This year, we expanded our fund offerings by adding six exchange traded funds to our flagship Trendpilot and Cash Cows Series’. These include our first fixed income ETF, the Pacer Trendpilot US Bond ETF (PTBD), as well as the Pacer Trendpilot International ETF (PTIN), Pacer Trendpilot Fund of Funds ETF (TRND), Pacer Emerging Markets Cash Cows 100 ETF (ECOW), Pacer US Cash Cows Growth ETF (BUL) and Pacer Cash Cows Fund of Funds ETF (HERD). In addition, we acquired the Pacer American Energy Independence ETF (USAI) and the Pacer CSOP FTSE China A50 ETF (AFTY). These additions allow us to offer a more comprehensive range of products.
We thank the investors, financial advisors and our partners for entrusting your assets with us as we look forward to growing with you.

Market Environment Overview
2019 was another strong year for equity market performance as the 10-year long bull market continued to make all-time highs. 2020 started off with a sharp January advance before peaking in February as news of the escalating Coronavirus pandemic began to surface. The selloff intensified in early March as reports of the increasing spread of the virus roiled markets and resulted in government-imposed shutdowns. The market bottomed in late March after recording one of the largest and fastest declines in history. The market ultimately found a bottom in late March as the number of reported new cases flatted and market participants began to price in a v-shaped recovery in economic activity. As of April 30, the market has nearly retraced 2/3 of the decline.
2020 has been one of the narrowest markets in history with a small subset of large cap technology stocks driving a large proportion of the advance in major market averages. Technology, Consumer, and Healthcare stocks have led the way, while Energy and Financials have lagged. Growth stocks have continued to outperform value stocks and US stocks have outperformed International stocks.
The outlook for the rest of the year looks likely to be driven by news regarding the containment of the virus and the loosing of restrictions driving a recovery in economic activity. The key risks facing this market are signs of a worsening spread of the virus, slower than expected economic recovery, and narrow market participation.

Companies with negative average projected free cash flows or earnings are removed from the Index universe. Additionally, financial companies, other than real estate investment trusts, and companies with a market capitalization of less than $3 billion are excluded from the Index universe. The remaining companies are ranked by their average daily trading value (“ADTV”) for the prior three months. The 500 companies with the highest ADTV are then ranked by their free cash flow yield for the trailing twelve month period. The equity securities of the 100 companies with the highest free cash flow yield are included in the Index.

The Pacer US Export Leaders Index uses an objective, rules-based methodology to measure the performance of an equal weight portfolio of approximately 100 large- and mid-capitalization U.S. companies with a high percentage of foreign sales and high free cash flow growth. Free cash flow is a company’s cash flow from operations minus its capital expenditures. Construction of the Index begins with an initial universe of the 200 companies across the S&P 900 ® Index (which is comprised of the S&P 500 ® Index (“S&P 500”) and S&P MidCap 400 ® Index (“S&P MidCap 400”)) that have the highest annual foreign sales as a percentage of total sales. The 200 companies are then narrowed to the 100 companies with the highest change in free cash flow growth over the past five years, and those 100 companies are equally weighted to create the Index. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced to equal-weight quarterly.
The S&P 900 ® combines the S&P 500 ® and the S&P MidCap 400 ® to form an investable benchmark for the mid- to large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
For the Six-Months Ended April 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you pay ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, and other fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. You may pay brokerage commissions on your purchase and sale of Fund shares, which are not reflected in the following examples. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The columns under the heading entitled “Actual” help you estimate the actual expenses you paid over the period. The “Actual Ending Account Value” shown is derived from a Fund’s actual return and the “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” show the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in a Fund. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this 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 column under the heading untitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period”.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The columns under the heading entitled “Hypothetical” provide information about hypothetical account value 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 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 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 which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the last column of the table (Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period) is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

USAI fiscal year end is October 31st and as such is not included in these financial statements. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of the Funds’ shares (“Shares”) is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The investment objectives of the Funds are to seek to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Pacer Trendpilot ® US Large Cap Index, the Pacer Trendpilot ® US Mid-Cap Index, the Pacer NASDAQ-100 Trendpilot ® Index, the Pacer Trendpilot ® European Index, the Pacer Global Cash Cows High Dividends 100 Index, the Pacer US Cash Cows 100 Index, the Pacer US Small Cap Cash Cows Index, the Pacer Developed Markets International Cash Cows 100 Index, the Pacer WealthShield Index, the Military Times Best for VETSSM Index, the Benchmark Retail Real Estate SCTRSM Index, the Benchmark Industrial Real Estate SCTRSM Index, the Benchmark Data & Infrastructure Real Estate SCTRSM Index, the US Export Leaders Index, the Pacer CFRA-Stovall Equal Weight Seasonal Rotation Index, the Pacer US Cash Cows Growth Index, the Pacer Trendpilot ® International Index, the Pacer Emerging Markets Cash Cows 100 Index, Pacer Trendpilot ® Fund of Funds Index, the Pacer US Cash Cows Growth Index, the Pacer Trendpilot ® US Bond Index, and the FTSE China A50 Net Total Return Index. PTLC, PTMC, and PTNQ commenced operations on June 11, 2015. PTEU commenced operations on December 14, 2015. GCOW commenced operations on February 22, 2016. COWZ commenced operations on December 16, 2016. CALF and ICOW commenced operations on June 16, 2017. PWS commenced operations on December 11, 2017. VETS commenced operations on April 9, 2018. INDS commenced operations on May 14, 2018. RTL and SRVR commenced operations on May 15, 2018. PEXL and SZNE commenced operations on July 23, 2018. BUL, PTIN, and ECOW commenced operations on May 2, 2019. TRND and HERD commenced operations on May 3, 2019. PTBD commenced operations on October 22, 2019. AFTY commenced operations on March 10, 2015. Each of the Funds are non-diversfied series of the Trust except for PTLC, PTMC, PTEU, GCOW, PEXL and COWZ.
AFTY is the successor in interest to CSOP FTSE China A50 ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) having the same investment objective that was included as a series of another investment company, CSOP ETF Trust, and advised by AFTY’s investment adviser at the time and current sub-adviser, CSOP Asset Management Limited (“CSOP). On January 21, 2020, the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund approved the tax-free reorganization of the Predecessor Fund with and into Pacer CSOP FTSE China A50 ETF, and effective as of the close of business on January 22, 2020, the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund were transferred to the Trust in exchange for shares of Pacer CSOP FTSE China A50 ETF. For financial reporting purposes, assets received, and shares issued by AFTY were recorded at fair value; however, Chinese regulations prohibited free of payment (i.e., in-kind) transfers of China A shares and required that all securities be crossed on an exchange against local currency. These constraints prevented the Predecessor Fund from directly transferring the securities within its portfolio to AFTY. The Predecessor Fund sold all of its assets and transferred the proceeds to AFTY, at which time AFTY used the transferred proceeds to repurchase the same or similar securities to those sold by the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund recognized taxable gain on the sale of its assets; however, AFTY also expects to use its capital loss carryforwards to offset any gain recognized from the selling of its assets. Accordingly, neither the Predecessor Fund nor AFTY expects to make a capital gain distribution solely because of the reorganization. While the Predecessor Fund may also realize losses on the sale of its assets, to the extent AFTY repurchased (or entered into a contract to or option to repurchase) the same shares of stock or securities within a period of 61 days (beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the disposition of such securities) any losses by the Predecessor Fund have been disallowed under the “wash sales” rule. Such losses will be reflected in an adjustment to the basis of the securities acquired by AFTY. Costs incurred by AFTY in connection with the reorganization were paid by the Sub-Adviser. The fiscal year end of the Predecessor Fund was September 30. The reporting period covered by this annual report for AFTY is October 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020. Operations prior to January 22, 2020 were for the Predecessor Fund. The net assets were $13,150,293, including ($3,630,464) of net unrealized depreciation, ($1,198,629) of undistributed (accumulated) net investment income, and ($3,267,672) of undistributed (accumulated) net realized loss and shares outstanding were 755,882, all of which were transferred into the Trust at NAV at the close of business on January 22, 2020.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2020 (Continued)
The primary purpose of the reorganization was to move the existing Fund from its existing trust to another trust, which the Pacer Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”) believed would allow the Fund to become part of a series of a stable fund family with a consistent Adviser across all funds in the Trust. Shareholders are expected to benefit accordingly and to enjoy an improvement in the level and quality of services provided to them and the Fund. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, the Fund accepted a cash contribution of $25,686 to reimburse the Fund for securities transactions related to the reorganization.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe”) with the exceptions of VETS, ECOW, and HERD, which is listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) and RTL, INDS, SRVR, PEXL, SZNE, BUL, PTIN, TRND, PTBD, and AFTY, which are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE”). Market prices for the shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares, called “Creation Units,” which generally consist of 50,000 shares except PTBD which generally consist of 100,000 shares.. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased directly from or redeemed directly to a Fund by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Pacer Financial, Inc. (the “Distributor”). Prior to January 23, 2020, ALPS Distributors, Inc. acted as the principal underwriter for AFTY. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. Rather, most retail investors may purchase Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
The Funds each currently offer one class of Shares, which have no front end sales loads, no deferred sales charges, and no redemption fees. A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units. PTLC charges $500, PTMC charges $500, PTNQ charges $250, PTEU charges $2,000, GCOW charges $1,500, COWZ charges $250, CALF charges $250, ICOW charges $1,500, PWS charges $500, VETS charges $250, INDS charges $250, RTL charges $250, SRVR charges $250, PEXL charges $250, SZNE charges $500, BUL charges $250, PTIN charges $8,000, ECOW charges $1,750, HERD charges $250, TRND charges $250, PTBD charges $500, and AFTY charges $250 for the standard fixed creation fee, payable to the Custodian. For the PTLC, PTMC, PTNQ, PTEU, and PTIN, the standard fixed creation transaction fee is $200 when the Deposit Securities include only U.S. Treasury bills. For PTBD, the standard fixed creation transaction fee is $250 when the Deposit Securities include only U.S. Treasury bills. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Fund’s Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order, or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction for the Funds, except AFTY which may charge up to a maximum of 8% as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees received by each Fund are displayed in the Capital Share Transaction section of the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of each Fund have equal rights and privileges with respect to such Fund.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds are investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidelines of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.
Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, except for securities listed on Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”). If, on a particular day, there is no such reported sale, then the most recent quoted bid price will be used. For securities traded on Nasdaq, the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) will be used. If a Fund holds foreign shares of a security for which there is no reported volume, and there is an actively trading local version of the security, the last quoted sale price of the local security shall be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate.
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the investment company’s net asset value per share, with the exceptin of exchange-traded open-end investment companies, which are priced as equity securities described above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2020 (Continued)
Fixed-income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from independent pricing services in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The independent pricing services may employ methodologies that utilize market transactions (if the security is actively traded), broker-dealer supplied valuations, or matrix pricing. Short-term securities that have maturies of less than 60 days, at the time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates market value.
Foreign currency forward contracts are valued at the current day’s interpolated foreign exchange rate, as calculated using the current day’s spot rate, and the twenty, sixty, ninety, and one-hundred eighty day forward rates provided by an independent source.
Any securities for which there are no readily available market quotations and other assets will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Value Pricing Committee using the Fair Value Procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuations methods. The three levels of inputs are:
| Level 1 | – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. |
| Level 2 | – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
| Level 3 | – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of April 30, 2020:

During the period ended April 30, 2020, the Funds did not recognize any transfers to or from Level 3.
B. | Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in |

Pacer Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2020 (Continued)
market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. The Funds report net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign currency transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
C. | Federal Income Taxes. The Funds comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as regulated investment companies and distribute substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. As of and during the fiscal period/year ended April 30, 2020, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. As of and during the fiscal period/year ended April 30, 2020, the Funds did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. Management has analyzed each of the Fund’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2017-2019) or expected to be taken in each of the Fund’s 2020 tax returns. During the year/period ended April 30, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. |
D. | Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are computed on the basis of highest amortized cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. |
Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or a return of capital. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Funds must use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions for financial statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to the Fund’s shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by the Fund’s shareholders may represent a return of capital.
E. | Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the PTLC, PTMC, PTNQ, PTEU, PTIN, TRND, and AFTY, are declared and paid on an annual basis. The GCOW, COWZ, CALF, ICOW, PWS, VETS, PEXL, INDS, RTL, SRVR, SZNE, BUL, ECOW, HERD and PTBD are declared and paid on a quarterly basis. The net realized gains on securities normally are declared and paid on an annual basis for all Funds. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
F. | Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
G. | Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the Cboe, Nasdaq and/or New York’s Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to the Fund’s net asset value per share. |
H. | Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. |

I. | Reclassification of Capital Accounts. Additionally, U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the fiscal period/year ended April 30, 2020, the following table shows the reclassifications made: |

The Funds have entered into Service Agreements with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”) doing business as U.S. Global Fund Services and a Custody Agreement with U.S. Bank, N.A.

NOTE 5 – SECURITIES LENDING
The Funds may lend up to 33 1/3% of the value of the securities in their portfolios to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the Securities Lending Agent. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of any domestic loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest. The use of loans of foreign securities, which are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, shall be collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan plus accrued interest. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. Due to timing issues of when a security is recalled from loan, the financial statements may differ in presentation. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreements to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.
As of April 30, 2020, the Funds had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral is invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC of which the investment objective is to seek to maximize income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity and maintain a stable Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of $1.00. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. In addition, the Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the investment of cash collateral received.

NOTE 12 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to estimated maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management has evaluated and adopted ASU 2017-08 and concluded these changes do not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management has evaluated the ASU 2018-13 and has decided to adopt the disclosure framework.
NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. The evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments other than below.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which each Funds invests depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of each Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.

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 in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
(Continued)
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of April 30, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.

sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and CSOP Asset Management Limited (the “Sub-Advisor”) with respect to AFTY. Each of the aforenamed funds is referred to as a “Fund” and, together, as the “Funds”. Each of the aforementioned meetings is referred to as a “Meeting” and, together, as the “Meetings”.
The Board, including a majority of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement at the Meetings, respectively, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, as well as the Trust’s other service providers. Prior to deciding to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement at the Meetings, respectively, the Independent Trustees requested and obtained from the Advisor and he Sub-Advisor such information as the Independent Trustees deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel. In addition, the Independent Trustees received a memorandum from independent counsel regarding the responsibilities of the Board with respect to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Prior to approval, the Board obtained and reviewed a variety of information, including certain information regarding each Fund’s proposed expenses relative to the expenses of other comparable funds. At the Meetings, respectively, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated a number of factors and various materials in connection with the approval process, including: (1) a copy of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement; (2) the Advisor’s and the Sub-Advisor’s responses to questionnaires designed to provide the Board with information reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement; (3) the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisor’s Form ADV disclosures; (4) information describing the nature, quality and extent of services that the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor is prepared to provide to each Fund under consideration; (5) the advisory fee payable by each such Fund to the Advisor for its services and the sub-advisory fee payable to the Sub-Advisor by the Advisor under its respective Sub-Advisory Agreement; (6) certain comparative information regarding each such Fund’s expenses and performance relative to the expenses and performance of other funds; (7) a copy of the Trust’s registration statement and prospectuses; and (8) information regarding the ownership and management structure, financial condition, and compliance program of the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. Representatives from the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor presented additional information and participated in question and answer sessions at the Meetings to help the Board evaluate the Advisor’s and the Sub-Advisor’s services and fees, as well as other aspects of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
In considering the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement at the Meetings, respectively, the Board considered various factors that the Trustees determined were relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Adviser, including the performance of the Advisor and Sub-Advisor with respect to each relevant Fund; (ii) the costs and benefits, including the fee to be paid to the Advisor by each Fund, of the advisory services to be provided to the Funds; (iii) the fee paid to the Sub-Advisor by the Advisor; and (iv) potential economies of scale.
● | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Board reviewed the scope of services to be provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. In this regard, the Trustees reviewed each Fund’s investment goal and proposed investment strategy, and each of the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisor’s ability to implement such investment goal and/or investment strategy, including, but not limited to, trading practices. With respect to sub-advisory services to be provided by the Sub-Advisor, the Board noted that the Sub-Advisor would have assets allocated to it by the Advisor and considered the proposed Sub-Advisor’s ability to ensure compliance with AFTY’s strategies, policies, and limitations. The Trustees also considered the successful performance of the Sub-Advisor in managing investment products with investment strategies similar to the investment strategy of AFTY. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the management team at the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor that would be responsible for managing each Fund, including staffing, skills and compensation program, and considered various other portfolios advised by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor and any potential conflicts. The Board also considered a report from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding the Sub-Advisor’s compliance program as such relates to the operation of AFTY. Finally, the Board considered the selection and due diligence process employed by the Advisor in proposing the Sub-Advisor to the AFTY, including the due diligence undertaken with respect to the Sub-Advisor’s compliance capabilities. |
Based on its review, the Board determined that each of the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor is capable of providing all necessary advisory and sub-advisory services required by each relevant Fund, as indicated by the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisor’s management capabilities, the professional qualifications and experience of its portfolio management personnel and the performance of the Funds relative to comparable funds managed by other investment advisers (each a “Peer Group”) and other products managed by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor with similar investment objectives and strategies as each Fund. The Board also considered other services provided to the Funds by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, where relevant, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to each Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations.

Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided and to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, respectively.
● | Costs and Benefits of Advisory Services to be Provided to the Funds. In considering the advisory fees payable by the Trust to the Advisor and each Fund’s expense ratio, the Board reviewed data compiled by the Advisor comparing the expense ratios of each Fund with the expense ratios of the ETFs and other funds in each Fund’s Peer Group. The Board compared each Fund’s expense ratio to the expense ratios of funds in its Peer Group, focusing on whether each Fund was charged fees that were within the range of fees charged by those in the Peer Group. It also noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to pay the operating expenses of each Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions, and extraordinary and non-routine expenses. It was noted that this contractual agreement cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The Board also evaluated the compensation and incidental or “fall-out” benefits received (or proposed or likely to be received) by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds, taking into account assessments of the Advisor’s profitability prepared and shared by the Advisor’s management. |
Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by the Advisor.
● | Costs and Benefits of Sub-Advisory Advisory Services to be Provided to the Funds. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees paid to the Sub-Advisor would be paid by the Advisor and would not be additional fees to be borne by AFTY. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees were the product of arms-length negotiations between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. In considering the sub-advisory fees payable by the Advisor to the Sub-Advisor, the Board evaluated the compensation and benefits proposed or likely to be received by the Sub-Advisor from the Advisor relating to AFTY. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the sub-advisory fees payable to the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Advisor were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services rendered and, where relevant, expected to be rendered by the Sub-Advisor. |
● | Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed and considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor as the assets of the Funds may grow in the future. |
Based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, at the Meetings, respectively, the Board, including the Independent Trustees: (a) concluded that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund are fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to AFTY is fair and reasonable; (c) concluded that the Advisor’s fees are reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by the Advisor to each Fund; (d) concluded that the Sub-Advisor’s fees are reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by the Sub- Advisor; (e) agreed to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement as to each Fund for a term of two years; and (f) agreed to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement as to AFTY for a term of two years. In its deliberations at the Meetings, the Board did not identify any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.

A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.

The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Deborah Wolk is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an 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. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. No “Other services” were provided by the principal accountant were. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
| FYE 04/30/2020 | FYE 04/30/2019 |
Audit Fees | $184,130 | $126,500 |
Audit-Related Fees | $0 | $0 |
Tax Fees | $25,826 | $17,400 |
All Other Fees | $0 | $0 |
The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.
The percentage of fees billed by Sanville & Company applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
| FYE 04/30/2020 | FYE 04/30/2019 |
Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant. (If more than 50 percent of the accountant’s hours were spent to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, state how many hours were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.)
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 04/30/2020 | FYE 04/30/2019 |
