American Conservative Values ETF | $83 | 0.75% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
The Fund returned 20.93% (NAV) for the year ended July 31, 2024 vs 22.15% for the S&P 500® Index and 21.50% for the Russell 1000 Total Return Index. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in a portfolio of Large-Cap US equities and performance was affected by the boycotting of securities with a high active share (28%) of the S&P 500® benchmark. During the reporting period equity markets were significantly influenced by shifting expectations around inflation and interest rates, with stocks rallying particularly (the Magnificent Seven) on growing confidence that slowing inflation will allow for rate cuts towards the end of 2024.
What key factors affected the Fund's performance?
The performance of our boycotts compared to what companies we overweight or replaced them with in the portfolio will always be the most significant driver of our relative returns to benchmarks. To minimize the resulting active risk, we remain broadly diversified and attempt to control multiply risk factors such as size, sector and style. In aggregate, the Fund's 37 Boycotts, which represented approximately 28% of the S&P 500® detracted -6.35% from performance while what we did own contributed +6.05% to the one-year return.

The market price used to calculate the market return is determined by using the midpoint between the bid/ask spread on the exchange on which the shares of a Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that a Fund's NAV is calculated. Market returns do not include brokerage commissions. If brokerage commissions were included market returns would be lower.The S&P 500® Index is a broad-based unmanaged index of 500 stocks, which is widely recognized as representative of the equity market in general.
The fund's past performance is not a good predictor of how the fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2024
American Conservative Values ETF
Notes to Financial StatementsJuly 31, 2024
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The American Conservative Values ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of ETF Opportunities Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which was organized on March 18, 2019 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The offering of the Fund’s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund commenced operations on October 28, 2020.
The Fund’s objective is to seek to achieve long-term capital appreciation with capital preservation as a secondary objective.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Generally, the Fund’s domestic securities are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each security’s primary exchange. Securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale shall be valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such exchange. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined in good faith under procedures set by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Although the Board is ultimately responsible for fair value determinations under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s assets to Ridgeline Research LLC (the “Advisor”) as the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Fund’s policies and procedures. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally shall be valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask price on such over-the-counter market.
16
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2024
American Conservative Values ETF
Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJuly 31, 2024
The Fund has a policy that contemplates the use of fair value pricing to determine the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund when market prices are unavailable as well as under special circumstances, such as: (i) if the primary market for a portfolio security suspends or limits trading or price movements of the security; and (ii) when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded, but prior to the time as of which the Fund's NAV is calculated, that is likely to have changed the value of the security. Since most of the Fund’s investments are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, it is anticipated that the use of fair value pricing will be limited.
When the Fund uses fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of the Fund, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Valuation Designee believes accurately reflects fair value. Any method used will be approved by the Board and results will be monitored to evaluate accuracy. The Fund’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing.
The Fund has adopted fair valuation accounting standards that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Refer to the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a listing of the securities by type and sector.
The Fund held no Level 3 securities at any time during the year ended July 31, 2024.
Security Transactions and Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is determined generally on specific identification basis to calculate realized gains and losses from security transactions for book and tax purposes. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules.
Accounting Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of investment income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal Income Taxes
The Fund has complied and intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
18
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2024
American Conservative Values ETF
Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJuly 31, 2024
Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Fund’s tax returns. The Fund has no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense as incurred.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. For the year ended July 31, 2024, such reclassifications were as follows:
| | | |
Distributable earnings | | $(3,381,144
| ) |
Paid-in capital | | 3,381,144 | |
The permanent difference reclassifications are attributable primarily to realized gains from in-kind transactions.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly by the Fund. The Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of a calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Creation Units
The Fund issues and redeems shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 25,000 shares known as “Creation Units.” Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) will be required to pay Citibank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) a fixed transaction fee (“Creation Transaction Fee”) in connection with creation orders that is intended to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each creation order is $1,500. Authorized Participants wishing to redeem shares will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee
19
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2024
American Conservative Values ETF
Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJuly 31, 2024
(“Redemption Transaction Fee”) to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units. The standard Redemption Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Redemption Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each redemption order is $1,500.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities. Shares of the Fund 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 (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed an agreement with the Fund’s principal underwriter (the “Distributor”) with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”). Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. The following table discloses the Creation Unit breakdown based on the NAV as of July 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | |
| | Creation
Unit Shares | | Creation Transaction Fee | | Value | |
American Conservative Values ETF | | 25,000 | | $1,500
| | $1,045,250
| |
To the extent contemplated by a participant agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, by the time as set forth in a participant agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the participant agreement. A participant agreement may permit the Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of the Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and Collateral Payable upon Return of Deposit Securities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

Officers and Trustees Indemnification
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
NOTE 2 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Advisor currently provides investment advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor manages the investment portfolio of the Fund, subject to the policies adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor, at its own expense and without reimbursement from the Trust, furnishes office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and executive personnel necessary for managing the assets of the Fund. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor assumes and pays all ordinary expenses of the Fund, except the fee paid to the Advisor pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, distribution fees or expenses under a 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and any other portfolio transaction related expenses and fees arising out of transactions effected on behalf of the Fund, credit facility fees and expenses, including interest expenses, and litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business.
For its services with respect to the Fund, the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee, calculated daily and payable monthly as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, at the rate of 0.75%.
The Advisor has retained Vident Asset Management (the “Sub-Advisor”), to serve as sub-advisor for the Fund. The Sub-Advisor is responsible for trading portfolio securities on behalf of the Fund, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions as instructed by the Advisor, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board.
For the services it provides to the Fund, the Sub-Advisor is compensated by the Advisor from the advisory fees paid by the Fund to the Advisor. Fees to the
21
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2024
American Conservative Values ETF
Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJuly 31, 2024
Sub-Advisor are calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the daily net assets of the Fund at the following rate: 0.05% on the first $250 million in net assets; 0.04% on the next $250 million in net assets; and 0.03% on any net assets in excess of $500 million (subject to a minimum of $30,000 per year).
The Sub-Advisor was formed in 2016. The Sub-Advisor registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment advisor and commenced operations in 2019. Pursuant to a purchase agreement signed on March 24, 2023, Vident Capital Holdings, LLC (“VA Holdings”), a subsidiary of MM VAM, LLC, acquired the Sub-Advisor (the “Transaction”). MM VAM, LLC is an entity controlled by Casey Crawford. The Transaction closed on July 14, 2023 (the “Closing Date”). As of the Closing Date, Mr. Crawford controls the Sub-Advisor through VA Holdings. Under the 1940 Act, the Transaction resulted in a change of control of the Sub-Advisor, which in turn resulted in the assignment and termination of the investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Trust, the Advisor, and the Sub-Advisor (the “Former Sub-Advisory Agreement”). To avoid a lapse in sub-advisory services to the Fund, the Sub-Advisor and the Trust entered into an Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement, pursuant to the requirements of Section 15(f) and Rule 15a-4 of the 1940 Act, prior to the Transaction.
Pursuant to the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Advisor provided sub-advisory services to the Fund until shareholders approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. At a meeting held on October 6, 2023, the Fund’s shareholders voted to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. At the meeting, Fund shareholders approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and Vident Asset Management is the new sub-advisor.
Fund Administrator
Commonwealth Fund Services, Inc. (“CFS”) acts as the Fund’s administrator. As administrator, CFS supervises all aspects of the operations of the Fund except those performed by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. For its services, fees to CFS are computed daily and paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of the Fund, subject to a minimum of $25,000 per year. The Advisor pays these fees.
Custodian and Transfer Agent
Citibank, N.A. serves as the Fund’s Custodian and Transfer Agent pursuant to a Global Custodial and Agency Services Agreement. For its services, Citibank, N.A. is entitled to a fee. The Advisor pays these fees monthly.

Trustees and Officers
Each Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust receives compensation for their services to the Fund. Each Trustee receives an annual retainer fee, paid quarterly.

For the period ended July 31, 2024, the Advisor paid $7,938 in Trustee compensation.

NOTE 4 – DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL
Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions during the years ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were as follows:
| | | | | |
| | Year ended July 31, 2024 | | Year ended July 31, 2023 | |
Distributions paid from: | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $565,179
| | $355,171
| |
| | $565,179
| | $355,171
| |
As of July 31, 2024, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated deficits) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | |
Accumulated undistributed net investment income (loss) | | $39,359
| |
Other accumulated losses | | (2,249,215 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments | | 18,129,689 | |
| | $15,919,833
| |
As of July 31, 2024, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $2,249,215, of which $494,390 is considered short term and $1,754,825 is considered long term. These losses may be carried forward indefinitely.
Cost of securities for Federal Income tax purpose and the related tax-based net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) consists of:
| | | |
Cost | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | Total Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$80,868,562 | $19,809,331 | $(1,679,642) | $18,129,689 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the deferral of wash sale losses.

NOTE 5 – TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and trade at market prices rather than at NAV. Shares of the Fund may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV. The Fund will issue and redeem shares at NAV only in large blocks of 25,000 shares (each block of shares is called a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed for cash and/or in-kind for securities. Individual shares may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
All orders to create Creation Units must be placed with the Fund’s distributor or transfer agent either (1) through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC (“Clearing Process”), a clearing agency that is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), by a “Participating Party,” i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the Clearing Process; or (2) outside the Clearing Process by a DTC Participant. In each case, the Participating Party or the DTC Participant must have executed an agreement with the Distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”); such parties are collectively referred to as “APs” or “Authorized Participants.” Investors should contact the Distributor for the names of Authorized Participants. All Fund shares, whether created through or outside the Clearing Process, will be entered on the records of DTC for the account of a DTC Participant.

NOTE 6 – RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
It is important that you closely review and understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund’s NAV and investment return will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of its portfolio securities. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund, and the Fund could underperform other investments. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. A complete description of the principal risks is included in the Fund’s prospectus under the heading “Principal Risks.”

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of American Conservative Values ETF (the “Fund”), a series of ETF Opportunities Trust, as of July 31, 2024, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for the years ended July 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 and for the period from October 28, 2020 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2024, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the years ended July 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 and for the period October 28, 2020 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2021, 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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
