Market Commentary
U.S. equity markets stabilized during the second half of 2020 and beginning of 2021 primarily due to an accommodative Federal Reserve policy and other fiscal stimulus, as well as the results of the U.S. presidential election. When or how the economy will fully reopen remains unclear, however, with the emergence of Covid-19 vaccines during this period the market and overall economy have seen a boost in optimism. What is clear is that many industries will struggle for quite some time and could need continued government assistance in the coming 18 months. The global trend toward digitalization and contactless transactions has been accelerated with the adoption of new ways of doing business due to the Work From Anywhere (“WFA”) phenomenon we are experiencing during the Covid-19 quarantine. Market dislocations always cause new adoptions of technology and processes. That, coupled with our need to work remotely, continues to push adoption rates of many gig economy trends to all-time highs.
The information presented in this report relates to the Funds performance for the fiscal year or fiscal period ended February 28, 2021 (the “fiscal period”), as applicable.
The SoFi Select 500 ETF
The SoFi Select 500 ETF (“SFY”) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive SoFi US 500 Growth Index (the “SFY Index”).
Index Description:
In summary, the SFY Index is rebalanced and reconstituted annually. The process begins with the selection of the 500 largest constituents by market capitalization of the Solactive US Broad Market Index, which generally incudes common stocks and equity interests in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The weight of these constituents is initially based on their free-float market capitalization and then adjusted upward or downward based on three growth-oriented factors:
1) | trailing 12-month sales growth, |
2) | trailing 12-month earnings per share (“EPS”) growth, and |
3) | 12-month forward-looking EPS growth consensus estimates. |
The SFY Index’s construction does not naturally target any specific sector or industry, however, due to market conditions and certain factors, a sector such as Information Technology, may be relatively overweight/underweight for periods of time.
Fund Description:
SFY, via its index, is composed of 500 of the largest publicly traded U.S. companies and seeks to track the performance of the SFY Index.
Performance Overview:
During the fiscal period, SFY generated a total return of 36.04% (NAV) and 36.49% (Market). This compares to the 36.05% total return of the SFY Index, and the 31.29% total return of the benchmark, the S&P 500® Total Return Index, for the same period.
From a sector perspective, based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, Technology and Financial were the leading contributors, while Consumer (Non-Cyclical), Real Estate, and Utilities were the leading detractors.
Reviewing individual stocks based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, leading contributors included, Tesla, Inc., General Electric Co. and Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. Conversely, the leading detractors included Amazon.com, Inc., Salesforce.com, Inc., and Apple, Inc.
The SoFi Next 500 ETF
The SoFi Next 500 ETF (“SFYX”) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive SoFi US Next 500 Growth Index (the “SFYX Index”).
Index Description:
Similar to the SFY Index described above, in summary, the SFYX Index is rebalanced and reconstituted annually, and the process begins with the selection of the next 500 largest constituents by market capitalization of the Solactive US Broad Market Index, and generally includes common stocks and equity interests in REITs. Again, the weight of these constituents is initially based on their free-float market capitalization and then adjusted upward or downward based on the same three growth-oriented factors:
1) | trailing 12-month sales growth, |
2) | trailing 12-month EPS growth, and |
1 |
SoFi Funds
3) | 12-month forward-looking EPS growth consensus estimates. |
The Index’s construction does not target any specific sector or industry but may be relatively overweight/underweight certain sectors for periods of time.
Fund Description:
SFYX, via the SFYX Index, is composed of 500 publicly traded U.S. companies in the second tier of 500 companies based on market capitalization and seeks to track the performance of the Index.
Performance Overview:
During the fiscal period, SFYX generated a total return of 40.17% (NAV) and 40.79% (Market). This compares to the 40.27% total return of the SFYX Index, and the 39.79% total return of the benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400® Total Return Index, for the same period.
From a sector perspective, based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, Technology, Industrial, and Financial were the leading contributors, while Utilities and Energy were the leading detractors.
Reviewing individual stocks based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, leading contributors included Enphase Energy, Inc., Axon Enterprise, Inc., and PTC, Inc. Conversely, the leading detractors included SolarWinds Corp., CyrusOne Inc., and Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. were the leading detractors.
The SoFi 50 ETF
The SoFi 50 ETF (“SFYF”) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the SoFi Social 50 Index (the “SFYF Index”). The investment strategy behind SFYF changed as of July 1, 2020, please see below for more information.
Index Description:
The SFYF Index is designed to reflect the 50 most widely held U.S.-listed equity securities in the self-directed brokerage accounts of SoFi Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Social Finance, Inc. (the “SoFi Accounts”), as weighted by aggregate holdings within the SoFi Accounts. Securities eligible for inclusion in the SFYF Index must: (a) be U.S.-listed equity securities held in SoFi Accounts, and (b) have an average daily trading volume of at least $10,000,000 during the preceding one-month and six-month periods (the “Eligible Universe”). The SFYF Index may include common stocks and equity interests in REITs. ETFs and other investment companies are not eligible for the SFYF Index.
Securities in the Eligible Universe are sorted based on:
1) | The number of SoFi Accounts that hold a particular security; and |
2) | The total market value of the security held in the SoFi Accounts. |
Each security in the Eligible Universe is then ranked from highest to lowest based on its “Weighted Average Value” (e.g., the security with the highest Weighted Average Value is assigned rank 1).
Subject to a “buffer rule” aimed at limiting SFYF Index turnover, securities ranked within the top 50 are included in the SFYF Index. Each security in the SFYF Index is then weighted based on its Weighted Average Value in relation to that of the other SFYF Index components and is subject to certain individual security weight and sector concentration caps. For example, the weight of each individual SFYF Index component is capped at 10%, and securities representing investments in any particular industry sector are capped at 50%. The SFYF Index is rebalanced and reconstituted monthly.
The SFYF Index’s construction does not target any specific sector or industry, however, due to market conditions and certain factors a sector may be relatively overweight/underweight for periods of time.
Fund Description:
SFYF, via the SFYF Index, is composed of the 50 most widely held U.S.-listed equity securities in the SoFi Accounts as weighted by their calculated Weighted Average Value (see above for detail) within the SoFi Accounts.
Performance Overview:
During the fiscal period, SFYF generated a total return of 57.67% (NAV) and 59.27% (Market). This compares to the 57.76% total return of the SoFi Social 50 Index for the same period, and the 31.29% total return of the benchmark, the S&P 500® Total Return Index.

SoFi Funds
From a sector perspective, based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, Industrial, Communications, and Consumer (Non-Cyclical) were the leading contributors, while Consumer (Cyclical), Financial, and Energy were the leading detractors.
Reviewing individual stocks based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, leading contributors included Moderna, Inc., Tesla, Inc., and Delta Air Lines, Inc. Conversely, the leading detractors included NIO, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc. and Apple, Inc.
The SoFi Gig Economy ETF
The SoFi Gig Economy ETF (“GIGE”) is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by investing in a portfolio of companies listed around the world that GIGE’s investment adviser considers part of the “gig economy”.
Fund Description:
The “gig economy” refers to the group of companies that have embraced, that support, or that otherwise benefit from a workforce where individual employees or independent contractors are empowered to create their own freelance business by leveraging recent developments in technology platforms that enable individuals to offer their services directly to retail and commercial customers. Examples of gig economy businesses include selling or reselling products through auction platforms or web-based stores and offering delivery services through an app-based platform.
The investment management team behind the strategy seeks investments in underlying companies that
● | drive the overall gig economy universe, |
● | transform the way our economy transacts goods and services, |
● | modify how work gets done, and |
● | embraces the work from home economy. |
These companies are broken up into categories, seeking direct participants, direct & indirect supportive gig economy businesses, companies that help facilitate processes within the gig economy, and any other ancillary benefiting companies because of the gig economy. These companies are put into a multi-tiered process based on their growth prospects within the gig economy and managed to allow for necessary concentration to generate alpha but not overconcentration which may cause significant volatility. The team actively rebalances the portfolio frequently, as such a new industry classification, GIGE can experience large individual position volatility and new issuances can occur frequently.
Performance Overview:
During the fiscal period, GIGE generated a total return of 124.22% (NAV) and 125.54% (Market). This compares to the 53.83% return of the Nasdaq-100® Total Return Index, and the 31.29% return of the benchmark, the S&P 500® Total Return Index, over the same period.
From a sector perspective, based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, Consumer (Cyclical), Technology, and Communications were the largest contributors, while Financial and Real Estate detracted the most.
Reviewing individual stocks based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, leading contributors included Upwork, Inc., Jumia Technologies AG, and Snap, Inc. Conversely, the leading detractors included Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Momo, Inc., and Splunk, Inc.
The SoFi Weekly Income ETF
The SoFi Weekly income ETF (“TGIF”) is an actively-managed ETF that seeks to achieve weekly income by investing in investment grade and high-yield fixed income securities. TGIF expects to distribute income on Fridays. TGIF is actively managed by Income Research + Management (“IR + M”), TGIF’s sub-adviser, a value-oriented fixed income manager with over 30 years of experience. The Fund targets a duration of less than 3 years, with the goal to reduce interest rate risk relative to longer dated bonds. TGIF does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
Fund Description:
TGIF seeks to achieve its investment objective, under normal circumstances, by investing in U.S.-dollar denominated investment grade and non-investment grade (also known as “high-yield” or “junk”) fixed income securities and instruments and expects to distribute income from its investments to shareholders weekly. TGIF anticipates making its weekly income distributions each Friday (or, in the event the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE “) is closed for trading on Friday, on a day earlier in the week). While obligations of any maturity may be purchased, under normal circumstances, TGIF will generally have a short to intermediate overall effective duration (i.e., typically less than three years). Effective duration is a measure of a fund’s price sensitivity to changes in yields or interest rates and

SoFi Funds
a fund with a higher effective duration will, under normal circumstances, have a greater sensitivity to interest rates. However, duration may not accurately reflect the true interest rate sensitivity of instruments held by TGIF and, therefore, the TGIF’s exposure to changes in interest rates.
Investment decisions for TGIF are made by IR +M primarily through a fundamental analysis of available debt instruments and their issuers.
IR+M applies a bottom-up investing approach focusing on the analysis of individual companies rather than on the industry or sector in which a company operates or on the economy as a whole.
IR+M’s bottom-up process focuses on the following attributes of investment opportunities:
● | Credit: IR+M evaluates the strength of a company’s management, its financial statements, and its competitive position in its industry or peer group. |
● | Structure: IR+M focuses on the shape of the curve reflecting the relationship of a bond’s price to interest rates (also known as “convexity”) with a particular interest in the extent to which an instrument may be callable (i.e., the issuer can redeem the bond prior to its maturity date) or have other such options attached to it that may affect the bond’s convexity. This analysis favors bonds with positive convexity (i.e., where the price would be expected to increase as interest rates rise) and those with structures that may add to the bond’s effective yield without increasing credit risk. |
● | Price: IR+M seeks bonds that it believes are under- or mis-priced and will seek to avoid bonds it determines are overpriced. |
Performance Overview:
During the period beginning October 1, 2020 (the Fund’s commencement of operations) and ended February 28, 2021, TGIF generated a total return of 4.91% (NAV) and 4.66% (Market). This compares to the 0.63% return of the benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Credit Index.
From a sector perspective, based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, Financial, Energy, and Industrial were the largest contributors, while Consumer (Non-Cyclical) and Utilities detracted the most.
Reviewing individual holdings based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, leading contributors included Federal National Mortgage Association Interest Strips (5.000%, 1/25/43), AerCap Holdings N.V. (5.875% (5 Year CMT Rate + 4.535%, 10/10/79), and Cenovus Energy, Inc (5.375%, 7/15/25). Conversely, the leading detractors included U.S. Bancorp, Brookfield Finance, Inc. (4.625%, 10/16/80), and Federal National Mortgage Association Interest Strips (3.000%, 3/25/28).

Investors buy and sell ETF shares through a brokerage account or an investment advisor. Like ordinary stocks, brokerage commissions, and/or transaction costs or service fees may apply. Please consult your broker or financial advisor for their fee schedule.
There is no guarantee that a Fund’s investment strategy will be successful. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market, and a fund’s holdings and returns may deviate from those of its index, if applicable. These variations may be greater when markets are volatile or subject to unusual conditions. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase a Fund’s expenses. The Funds are newer and each has a limited operating history. You can lose money on your investment in a Fund. Diversification does not ensure profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks such as social and political instability, market illiquidity, exchange-rate fluctuations, a high level of volatility and limited regulation. Investing in emerging markets involves different and greater risks, as these countries are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than securities markets in more developed markets. Because GIGE may invest in a single sector, country or industry, its shares do not represent a complete investment program. As non-diversified funds, the value of the GIGE’s and TGIF’s shares may fluctuate more than shares invested in a broader range of industries and companies because of concentration in a specific sector, country or industry.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
A. | Security Valuation. Equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Business Development Companies (“BDCs”), and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (“NASDAQ”)), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices for long and short positions. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from recognized independent pricing agents (“Independent Pricing Agents”) each day that the Funds are open for business. |
Debt securities are valued by using an evaluated mean of the bid and asked prices provided by Independent Pricing Agents. The Independent Pricing Agents may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions (if the security is actively traded), broker dealer supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. In arriving at valuations, such methodologies generally consider factors such as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities.
For securities for which quotations are not readily available, a fair value will be determined by the Valuation Committee using the Fair Value Procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Fair Value Procedures adopted by the Board. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

SoFi Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2021 (Continued) |
As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation 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 each Fund’s investments as of February 28, 2021:

SoFi Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2021 (Continued) |
B. | Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made. |
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, the Funds intend to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of their net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of their net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.
As of February 28, 2021, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Delaware; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.
C. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends received from REITs generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains, and may include return of capital. Debt income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. |
D. | 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 the fluctuations arising from changes in 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 securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s 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 fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
E. | Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, for the SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, SoFi 50 ETF, and SoFi Gig Economy ETF are declared and paid at least semi-annually and for the SoFi Weekly Income ETF are declared and paid at least weekly. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities, if any, for the Funds normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
F. | Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
G. | Share Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities 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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for trading. |
H. | Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2021 (Continued) |
I. | Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board-approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that each Fund limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. An illiquid investment is any security that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If a Fund should be in a position where the value of illiquid investments held by the Fund exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets, the Fund will take such steps as set forth in the LRMP. |
J. | Reclassification of Capital Accounts. 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 NAV per share. These differences are primarily due to adjustments for redemptions in-kind. For the period ended February 28, 2021, the following adjustments were made: |
Name of Fund | Paid-In Capital | Total Distributed |
SoFi Select 500 ETF | $3,454,608 | $(3,454,608) |
SoFi Next 500 ETF | 507,479 | (507,479) |
SoFi 50 ETF | 2,294,754 | (2,294,754) |
SoFi Gig Economy ETF | 1,783,847 | (1,783,847) |
During the period ended February 28, 2021, the SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, SoFi 50 ETF, and SoFi Gig Economy ETF realized $3,541,573, $672,053, $2,348,119, and $1,874,184, respectively, in net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated losses to paid-in capital. There were no adjustments made for the SoFi Weekly Income ETF.
K. | LIBOR Transition. In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that banks were no longer required to provide rate information used to calculate LIBOR after December 31, 2021. This has created uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. The potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or the financial instruments in which a Fund invests cannot yet be determined. LIBOR likely will be phased out for all short-term lending arrangements by June 2023. Industry initiatives are underway to identify alternative reference rates such as the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR), which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York began publishing in April 2018; however, there is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity. The transition process to an alternative reference rate might lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates. LIBOR’s deterioration may adversely affect the value of some LIBOR-based investments and result in additional costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. Because the usefulness of LIBOR as a reference rate could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021. |
NOTE 3 – PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS |
A. | Asset Backed Securities (“ABS”) Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). The price paid by the Fund for ABS, the yield the Fund expects to receive from such securities, and the average life of such securities are based on a number of factors, including the anticipated rate of prepayment of the underlying assets. The value of these securities may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of issuers, and the creditworthiness of the parties involved. These securities may have a structure that makes their reaction to interest rate changes and other factors difficult to predict, making their value highly volatile. |
B. | Call Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or repay the security prior to its stated maturity, and the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income. |
53 |
SoFi Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2021 (Continued) |
C. | Convertible Securities Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). Convertible securities rank senior to the issuer’s common stock, but may be subordinate to senior debt obligations. In part, the total return for a convertible security may depend upon the performance of the underlying stock into which it can be converted. Synthetic convertibles may respond differently to market fluctuations than traditional convertible securities. They are also subject to counterparty risk. |
D. | Credit Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality of the issuer or counterparty may deteriorate, making it difficult for the Fund to sell such investments. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of an investment in that issuer. |
E. | Currency Exchange Rate Risk (SoFi Gig Economy Only). The Fund’s assets may include exposure to investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies or in securities or other assets that provide exposure to such currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value of the Fund’s investments and the value of Fund shares. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. |
F. | Emerging Markets Risk (SoFi Gig Economy and SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). The Fund may invest in securities issued by companies domiciled or headquartered in emerging market nations. Investments in securities traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to such securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, currency, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and investments in more developed international markets. Such conditions may impact the ability of the Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities, adversely affect the trading market and price for the Fund’s shares and cause the Fund to decline in value. |
G. | Equity Market Risk (SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, SoFi 50 ETF, and SoFi Gig Economy ETF Only). The equity securities held in a Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which a Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. Securities in a Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in the general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes, due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters or events, pandemic diseases, terrorism, regulatory events, or government controls. |
H. | Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) Risks. |
● | Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Funds have a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem shares directly from the Funds (known as “Authorized Participants” or “APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services; or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. |
● | Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. |
● | Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market price. Although it is expected that the market price of shares will approximate the Funds’ NAV, there may be times when the market price of shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. |
54 |
SoFi Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2021 (Continued) |
● | Trading. Although shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as NYSE Arca, Inc. and The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (the “Exchanges”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchanges, there can be no assurance that shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Funds’ underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than shares. |
I. | Event Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). Event risk is the risk that corporate issuers may undergo restructurings, such as mergers, leveraged buyouts, takeovers, or similar events financed by increased debt. As a result of the added debt, the credit quality and market value of a company’s bonds and/or other debt securities may decline significantly. |
J. | Extension Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). When interest rates rise, certain obligations will be repaid by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these securities to fall. |
K. | Floating and Variable Rate Securities Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). Floating or variable rate securities pay interest at rates that adjust in response to changes in a specified interest rate or reset at predetermined dates (such as the end of a calendar quarter). Securities with floating or variable interest rates are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with fixed interest rates, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as comparable market interest rates. Although floating or variable rate securities are generally less sensitive to interest rate risk than fixed rate securities, they are subject to credit, liquidity and default risk and may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, which could impair their value. |
L. | Foreign Securities Risks (SoFi Gig Economy ETF Only and SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve certain risks not involved in domestic investments and may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than investments in securities of U.S. companies. Financial markets in foreign countries often are not as developed, efficient or liquid as financial markets in the United States, and therefore, the prices of non-U.S. securities can be more volatile. In addition, the Fund will be subject to risks associated with adverse political and economic developments in foreign countries, which may include the imposition of economic sanctions. Generally, there is less readily available and reliable information about non-U.S. issuers due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards and regulatory practices. |
M. | High-Yield Securities Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). High-yield securities (also known as “junk” bonds) carry a greater degree of risk and are more volatile than investment grade securities and are considered speculative. High-yield securities may be issued by companies that are restructuring, are smaller and less creditworthy, or are more highly indebted than other companies. This means that they may have more difficulty making scheduled payments of principal and interest. Changes in the value of high-yield securities are influenced more by changes in the financial and business position of the issuing company than by changes in interest rates when compared to investment grade securities. The Fund’s investments in high-yield securities expose it to a substantial degree of credit risk. |
N. | Interest Rate Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates rise, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. |
O. | Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). The Fund invests in MBS issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. Such securities are subject to credit, interest rate, prepayment, and extension risks. These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying mortgage or asset, particularly during periods of economic downturn. Small movements in interest rates may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage back securities. |
P. | Municipal Securities Risk (SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political or economic changes, including changes made in the law after issuance of the securities, as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders, including in connection with an issuer insolvency. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the inability to collect revenues from the project or the assets. |
Q. | Non-Diversification Risk (SoFi Gig Economy ETF Only and SoFi Weekly Income ETF Only). Although the Fund intends to invest in a variety of securities and instruments, the Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. As a result, |
55 |
SoFi Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2021 (Continued) |
the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that invests more widely. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.
R. | REIT Investment Risk (SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, and SoFi 50 ETF Only). Investments in REITs involve unique risks. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, and may be more volatile than other securities. The risks of investing in REITs include certain risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and the real estate industry in general. Securities in the real estate sector are subject to the risk that the value of their underlying real estate may go down. Many factors may affect real estate values, including the general and local economies, the amount of new construction in a particular area, the laws and regulations (including zoning and tax laws) affecting real estate, and the costs of owning, maintaining and improving real estate. The availability of mortgages and changes in interest rates may also affect real estate values. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, and self-liquidation. |

Tidal ETF Services LLC (“Tidal”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Funds’ administrator and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and management services for the Funds. Tidal coordinates the payment of Fund-related expenses and manages the Trust’s relationships with its various service providers.
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”), serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator, fund accountant and transfer agent. In those capacities Fund Services performs various administrative and accounting services for the Funds. Fund Services prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Funds, including regulatory compliance monitoring and financial reporting; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Board; and monitors the activities of the Funds’ custodian.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser and Fund Services. None of the affiliated trustees or the Trust’s officers receive compensation from the Funds.
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 the market value of the securities loaned by the Fund. 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 February 28, 2021, the SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, SoFi 50 ETF, and SoFi Gig Economy ETF had each loaned securities and each received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral from each Fund 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 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 8 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Shares of the SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, SoFi 50 ETF, and SoFi Weekly Income ETF are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. and shares of the SoFi Gig Economy ETF are listed and traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, SoFi 50 ETF, and SoFi Gig Economy ETF issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in blocks of 50,000 shares and the SoFi Weekly Income ETF issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in blocks of 25,000 shares (“Creation Units”). 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. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. 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 the Funds. 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.
Each Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for the SoFi Select 500 ETF and SoFi Next 500 ETF is $500 and for the SoFi 50 ETF, SoFi Gig Economy ETF, and SoFi Weekly Income ETF is $250, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ 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% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for transaction costs associated with the cash transactions. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed in the capital shares transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.

NOTE 9 – COVID-19 PANDEMIC |
U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic, which has resulted in public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, layoffs, rising unemployment claims, changed travel and social behaviors, and reduced consumer spending. The recovery from the effects of COVID-19 is uncertain and may last for an extended period of time. These developments as well as other events could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets. As a result, the risk environment remains elevated. The Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Funds in a manner consistent with each Fund’s investment objective but there can be no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
Effective April 5, 2021, the name of the SoFi 50 ETF has changed to the SoFi Social 50 ETF.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of February 28, 2021, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s 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 Fund 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 have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2018.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The 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.
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 February 28, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or through other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were unable to be obtained. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Expense Examples For the Periods Ended February 28, 2021 (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of the Funds’ shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Funds. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The actual expenses examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from September 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021 for the SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, SoFi 50 ETF, and SoFi Gig Economy ETF, and from October 1, 2020 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 2021 for the SoFi Weekly Income ETF. The hypothetical examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from September 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the following tables provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of other investment companies as part of their investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the example. The examples include, but are not limited to, unitary fees. However, the examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses, and interest expense or dividends on short positions taken by the Funds. You may use the information in this line, 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 first 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 line of the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 the Funds 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 the Funds’ shares. Therefore, the second line of the following tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Basis for Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) |
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of Tidal ETF Trust (the “Trust”) met via video webcast at a meeting held on September 10, 2020 to consider the initial approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the SoFi Weekly Income ETF (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust, and Toroso Investments, LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). Prior to this meeting, the Board requested and received materials to assist them in considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including a copy of the Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement, due diligence materials relating to the Adviser (including the due diligence response completed by the Adviser with respect to a specific request letter from the Trust’s outside legal counsel, the Adviser’s Form ADV, select ownership, organizational, financial and insurance information for the Adviser, bibliographic information of the Adviser’s key management and compliance personnel, detailed comparative information regarding the proposed unitary advisory fee for the Fund, and information regarding the Adviser’s compliance program) and other pertinent information. Based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term.
Discussion of Factors Considered
In considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement and reaching their conclusions, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.
1. | Nature, extent and quality of services to be provided. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s overall services to be provided to the Fund as well as its specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Fund. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the Adviser’s investment management team, including Charles Ragauss, who will serve as a co-portfolio manager of the Fund, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Adviser to be involved in the day to day activities of the Fund. The Board reviewed due diligence information provided by the Adviser, including information regarding the Adviser’s compliance program, its compliance personnel and compliance record, as well as the Adviser’s cybersecurity program and business continuity plan. The Board noted that the Adviser does not manage any other accounts that utilize a strategy similar to that to be employed by the Fund. |
The Board also considered other services to be provided to the Fund, such as monitoring adherence to the Fund’s investment strategy and restrictions, oversight of the Fund’s sub-adviser and other service providers to the Fund, monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations, and monitoring the extent to which the Fund achieves its investment objective as an actively-managed ETF. The Board noted that the Fund’s Sub-Adviser would be responsible for selecting the Fund’s investments and trade execution, subject to the supervision of the Adviser.
The Board concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and managing the Fund and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services to be provided to the Fund, as well as the Adviser’s compliance program, were satisfactory.
2. | Investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser. The Board noted that the Fund had not yet commenced operations and, therefore, concluded that performance of the Fund was not a relevant factor for consideration. The Board also considered that because the investment decision-making for the Fund would be performed by the Fund’s sub-adviser, the Fund’s performance would not be the direct result of investment decisions made by the Adviser. Consequently, with respect to the Fund’s performance, the Board in the future would focus on the Adviser’s services, including the extent to which the Fund’s performance was achieving its investment objective, as well as the Adviser’s oversight of the Fund’s sub-adviser services. |
3. | Cost of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser. The Board considered the cost of services and the structure of the Adviser’s proposed advisory fee, including a review of comparative expenses, expense components and peer group selection. The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee was a “unitary fee,” meaning that the Fund would pay no expenses other than the advisory fee and certain other costs such as interest, brokerage, and extraordinary expenses and, to the extent it is implemented, fees pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan. The Board noted that the Adviser agrees to pay, or require the Fund’s sponsor, Social Finance, Inc., to pay all other expenses incurred by the Fund. The Board considered comparative information prepared by Fund Services utilizing data provided by Morningstar Direct relating to the cost structure |

Basis for Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (Continued) |
of the Fund relative to a peer group. The Fund was compared to ETFs in multiple U.S. bond categories with varying quality and maturity exposures, including U.S. Fund Corporate Bond, U.S. Fund High Yield Bond, U.S. Fund Intermediate Core Bond and U.S. Fund Intermediate Core-Plus Bond categories.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s proposed expense ratio and the advisory fee to be paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative expense information and the investment management services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser given the nature of the Fund’s strategy. The Board also evaluated, based on information provided by the Adviser, the compensation and benefits expected to be received by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Fund, taking into account an analysis of the Adviser’s expected profitability with respect to the Fund and the Board further concluded that the Adviser had adequate financial resources to support its services to the Fund from the revenues of its overall investment advisory business.
4. | Extent of economies of scale as the Fund grows. The Board considered the potential economies of scale that the Fund might realize under the structure of the proposed advisory fee. The Board noted the advisory fee did not contain any breakpoint reductions as the Fund’s assets grow in size, but that the Adviser would evaluate future circumstances that may warrant breakpoints in the fee structures. |
5. | Benefits to be derived from the relationship with the Fund. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by the Adviser and its affiliates from association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the benefits the Adviser may receive, such as greater name recognition or the ability to attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable and in many cases may benefit the Fund. |
Conclusions. Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, with no single factor determinative of a conclusion, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that: (a) the terms of the Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable; (b) the advisory fee is reasonable in light of the services that the Adviser will provide to the Fund; and (c) the approval of the Advisory Agreement for an initial term of two years was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
At the meeting held on September 10, 2020, the Board also considered the initial approval of the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Fund, entered into between the Adviser and Income Research + Management, the Fund’s sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”). Prior to this meeting, the Board requested and received materials to assist them in considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including copies of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, due diligence materials prepared by the Sub-Adviser (including the due diligence response completed by the Sub-Adviser with respect to a specific request letter from the Trust’s outside legal counsel, Form ADV, select ownership, organizational, financial and insurance information for the Sub-Adviser, bibliographic information of key management and compliance personnel, and the Sub-Adviser’s compliance manual and code of ethics) and other pertinent information. Based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Independent Trustees), approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term.
Discussion of Factors Considered
In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and reaching their conclusions, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.
1. | Nature, extent and quality of services to be provided. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the Sub-Adviser’s overall services to be provided to the Fund as well as its specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Fund. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of William O’Malley, James Gubitosi, and William O’Neill, who will serve as co-portfolio managers for the Fund, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Sub-Adviser to be involved in the day-to-day activities of the Fund. The Board reviewed the due diligence information provided by the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program, its compliance personnel and compliance record, as well as the Sub-Adviser’s cybersecurity program and business continuity plan. The Board noted that the Sub Adviser manages a short diversified income strategy and a core plus strategy that are each similar to the strategy to be employed by the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund. |
65 |
SoFi Funds
Basis for Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (Continued) |
The Board also considered other services to be provided to the Fund, such as monitoring adherence to the Fund’s investment strategies and restrictions, monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations, monitoring the extent to which the Fund meets its investment objective as an actively-managed ETF and quarterly reporting to the Board. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser would be responsible for selecting the Fund’s investments and trade execution, subject to oversight by the Adviser.
The Board concluded that the Sub-Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement and managing the Fund and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services to be provided to the Fund, as well as the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program, were satisfactory.
2. | Investment performance of the Fund and the Sub-Adviser. The Board noted that the Fund had not yet commenced operations and, therefore, concluded that performance of the Fund was not a relevant factor for consideration. |
3. | Cost of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Sub-Adviser. The Board considered the structure of the proposed sub-advisory fee to be paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that the Adviser represented to the Board that the sub-advisory fee payable under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable in light of the services to be performed by the Sub-Adviser. Since the sub-advisory fee is to be paid by the Adviser, the overall advisory fee paid by the Fund is not directly affected by the sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Adviser. Consequently, the Board did not consider the cost of services provided by the Sub-Adviser or the potential profitability of its relationship with the Fund to be material factors for consideration given that the Sub-Adviser is not affiliated with the Adviser and, therefore, the sub-advisory fee to be paid to the Sub-Adviser was negotiated on an arm’s-length basis. Based on all of these factors, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee to be paid to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory fee and was reasonable in light of the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser. |
4. | Extent of economies of scale as the Fund grows. Since the sub-advisory fee payable to the Sub-Adviser is not paid by the Fund, the Board did not consider whether the sub-advisory fee should reflect any potential economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s assets increase. |
5. | Benefits to be derived from the relationship with the Fund. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by the Sub-Adviser from its association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the benefits the Sub-Adviser may receive, such as greater name recognition or the ability to attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable and in many cases may benefit the Fund. |
Conclusion. Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, with no single factor determinative of a conclusion, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that: (a) the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable; (b) the sub-advisory fee is reasonable in light of the services that the Sub-Adviser will provide to the Fund; and (c) the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial term of two years was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

SoFi Funds
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program |
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Rule 22e-4”), Tidal ETF Trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of its series, the SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, SoFi 50 ETF, SoFi Gig Economy ETF, and SoFi Weekly Income ETF, have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). The Program seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management for the Funds and to protect the Funds’ shareholders from dilution of their interests. The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of Toroso Investments, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser, as the program administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator has further delegated administration of the Program to a Program Administrator Committee composed of certain Trust officers. The Program Administrator has also delegated certain responsibilities under the Program to a sub-adviser of the SoFi Weekly Income ETF; however, the Program Administrator remains responsible for the overall administration and operation of the Program. The Program Administrator is required to provide a written annual report to the Board regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program, including the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum, if applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
On November 19, 2020, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s written annual report for the period December 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020 (the “Report”). The SoFi Weekly Income ETF commenced operations on October 1, 2020 and was not part of the Report but has adopted the Program upon commencement of operations (references to the “Funds” below exclude the SoFi Weekly Income ETF). The Report provided the Program Administrator’s assessment of the Funds’ liquidity risk: the risk that the Funds could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Funds without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interest in the Funds. The Program assesses liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions. The risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of a Fund’s investments, limiting the amount of illiquid investments and utilizing various risk management tools and facilities available to the Funds, among other means. The Trust has engaged the services of ICE Data Services, a third-party vendor, to provide daily portfolio investment classification services to assist in the Program Administrator’s assessment. The Report noted that the Funds’ portfolios primarily hold highly liquid investments and the Funds will be considered “primarily highly liquid funds” (as defined in the Program) and can therefore continue to rely on the exclusion in Rule 22e-4 from the requirements to determine and review a highly liquid investment minimum for the Funds and to adopt policies and procedures for responding to a highly liquid investment minimum shortfall. The Report also noted that the Funds had efficient arbitrage and traded on the secondary markets as reasonably expected. The Program Administrator also considered that there were no significant changes in the liquidity profile of the Funds due to the composition of baskets accepted by the Funds. The Funds did not hold a significant portion of illiquid investments during the review period and the Trust was not required to file Form N-LIQUID during the review period. The Report confirmed that the Funds’ investment strategies were appropriate for an open-end management investment company. The Report also noted that no material changes had been made to the Program during the review period.
The Program Administrator determined that the Program is adequately designed and operating effectively.
