WHAT WERE THE FUND COSTS FOR THE PAST YEAR? (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| | |
Fund Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF | $39 | 0.38% |
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, the NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T Bill ETF market value return was 5.74% and its net asset value (“NAV”) return was 5.80% compared to its reference index, the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.51%. The Fund’s market value per share as of the market close of the last trading day of the reporting period was $49.80. We believe the Fund’s outperformance relative to its reference index for the reporting period is attributable to the put options overlay, which generated additional monthly income for the Fund while maintaining tax efficiency.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM SINCE INCEPTION?
The $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses, including management fees were deducted.

HOW HAS THE FUND CHANGED?
During the year the Fund changed its name from the NEOS Enhanced Income Cash Alternative ETF to the NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF to better reflect the holdings of the ETF.
MANAGED DISTRIBUTIONS
While the NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF does not have a specific level of distribution, the Fund seeks to generate monthly income in a tax efficient manner. During the period, 9% of the Fund’s distributions were treated as return of capital and 6% were treated as capital gains. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits are treated as a tax-free return of a shareholder’s investment to the extent of the shareholders basis in the Funds shares, and generally as capital gain thereafter. A return of capital, which for tax purposes is treated as a return of a shareholder’s investment, reduces a shareholder’s basis in the Funds shares, thus reducing any loss or increasing any gain on a subsequent taxable disposition of Fund shares.

*Amount shown reflects the expenses of the Fund from inception date through May 31, 2024. Expenses would be higher if the Fund had been in operations for the full year.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
From January 30, 2024, the Fund’s inception date, through May 31, 2024, the NEOS Nasdaq-100® High Income ETF market value return was 5.72% and its net asset value (“NAV”) return was 5.75% compared to its reference index, the Nasdaq-100® Index, which returned 5.68%. The Fund’s market value per share as of the market close of the last trading day of the reporting period was $50.42.
We believe the Fund’s relative outperformance during the reporting period is attributable to the active laddered call strategy utilizing NDX Index options which allowed for the underlying equities to participate with more of the upside during market moves higher and dampen the downside during months when the Nasdaq-100® Index moved lower.

The Fund’s market value per share as of the market close of the last trading day of the reporting period was $49.58.

MANAGED DISTRIBUTIONS
While the NEOS S&P 500® High Income ETF does not have a speficic level of distribution, the Fund seeks to generate high monthly income in a tax efficient manner with the potential for equity appreciation in rising markets. During the period, 87% of the Fund’s distributions were treated as return of capital and 4% were treated as capital gains. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits are treated as a tax-free return of a shareholder’s investment to the extent of the shareholders basis in the Funds shares, and generally as capital gain thereafter. A return of capital, which for tax purposes is treated as a return of a shareholder’s investment, reduces a shareholder’s basis in the Funds shares, thus reducing any loss or increasing any gain on a subsequent taxable disposition of Fund shares.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.
A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. John Jacobs is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and/or other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. “Other services” refer to other services rendered by the registrant’s principal accountant to the Registrant other than those reported under the "audit services", "audit-related services", and "tax services”. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
| FYE 5/31/24 | FYE 5/31/23 |
(a) Audit Fees | $42,000 | $30,000 |
(b) Audit-Related Fees | None | None |
(c) Tax Fees | $12,000 | $9,000 |
(d) All Other Fees | None | None |
(e)(1) The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.
(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company, Ltd applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
| FYE 5/31/24 | FYE 5/31/23 |
Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
(f) Not applicable
(g) The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.
Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 5/31/24 | FYE 5/31/23 |
Registrant | None | None |
Registrant’s Investment Adviser | None | None |
(h) Because no non-audit services were rendered, the audit committee of the board of trustees did not consider whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
(i) Not applicable.
(j) Not applicable.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
(a) The registrant is an issuer as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “Act”) and has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Act.

NEOS ETF Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements
May 31, 2024
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
The NEOS ETF Trust (the “Trust”), formerly the SHP ETF Trust, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 1, 2021 and is authorized to issue multiple series or portfolios. The Trust is an open-end investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of thirteen operational exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), four of which are presented herein, NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Year T-Bill ETF (the “NEOS 1-3 Year T-Bill ETF”)(formerly NEOS Enhanced Income Credit Alternative ETF), NEOS Enhanced Income Aggregate Bond ETF (the “NEOS Aggregate Bond ETF”), NEOS Nasdaq-100® High Income ETF (the “NEOS Nasdaq-100® ETF”) and NEOS S&P 500® High Income ETF (the “NEOS S&P 500® ETF”), (collectively, the “Funds” or individually, a “Fund”). These financial statements relate only to the Funds. The Funds are each a diversified series of the Trust. The investment objective of the NEOS 1-3 Year T-Bill ETF and the NEOS Aggregate Bond ETF is to seek to generate monthly income in a tax efficient manner and the investment objective of the NEOS Nasdaq-100® ETF and NEOS S&P 500® ETF is to seek to generate high monthly income in a tax efficient manner with the potential for equity appreciation in rising markets.
NEOS Investment Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to each Fund.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services — Investment Companies” including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
A.
| Investment Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. NAV per share is computed by dividing the net assets of each Fund by each Fund’s number of shares outstanding. |
When calculating the NAV of each Fund’s shares, securities held by the Funds are valued at market quotations when reliable market quotations are readily available. Exchange traded securities and instruments (including equity securities, depositary receipts and ETFs) are generally valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such securities are traded (at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price for NASDAQ listed securities), as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities and instruments not traded on an exchange are generally valued at the last traded price. Investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at NAV. In the absence of a recorded transaction sale price; or if the last sale price is unavailable, securities are valued at the mean between last bid and ask, as quoted. If an ask price is unavailable, the last bid price is used. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
Options traded on an exchange are generally valued at the 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time bid/ask mean price on the exchange or OTC market on which they principally trade. If the 4:00 p.m. bid/ask mean price is not available, then options shall be valued at the 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time bid/ask mean price. If neither bid/ask mean price is available, then options shall be valued at the last reported settlement price on the exchange or OTC market on which they principally trade.
When reliable market quotations are not readily available, securities are priced at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s valuation guidelines. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, each Fund has designated the Adviser as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable. The Funds may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including

Notes to the Financial Statements
May 31, 2024 (Continued)
but not limited to, situations when the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of such security) or trading in such security has been suspended or halted. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. As of May 31, 2024, there was one security within the NEOS S&P 500® ETF that was internally fair valued and/or valued using a Level 3 valuation. Refer to below for further valuation disclosures.
The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs) and (2) the Funds’ own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 –
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Funds have the ability to access.
Level 2 –
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 –
Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s investments as of May 31, 2024:

Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material for the NEOS S&P 500® High Income ETF; therefore, the rollforward of Level 3 securities are not shown for the year ended May 31, 2024.
Significant unobservable valuation inputs monitored by the Adviser, the Valuation Designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees for restricted securities or Level 3 investments as of May 31, 2024 for the NEOS S&P 500® ETF are as follows:

| This Level 3 security was received through a corporate action. The security is being kept open due to the potential of an additional distribution. Based on the evaluation of the likelihood of an additional distribution, the security is being priced at zero. |

| Represents amount less than $0.50. |
B.
| Written Option Contracts. The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds write (sell) put or call options for hedging purposes, volatility management purposes, or otherwise to gain, or reduce, long or short exposure to one or more asset classes or issuers. When the Funds write (sell) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is |

Notes to the Financial Statements

subsequently priced daily to reflect the current value of the option written. Refer to Note 2 (A). for a pricing description. By writing an option, the Funds may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the amounts receivable or payable reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to Note 2 (H). for further derivative disclosures and Note 2 (D). for further counterparty risk disclosure.
When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Funds enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Funds realize gains or losses if the cost of the closing purchase transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold without regard to any unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the security and the Funds realize gains or losses from the sale of the underlying security. When a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium received for the put.
C.
| Purchased Option Contracts. The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds will purchase call or put options. When the Funds purchase an option contract, an amount equal to the premiums paid is included in the value of investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently priced daily to reflect the value of the purchased option contract. Refer to Note 2 (A). for a pricing description. Refer to Note 2 (H). for further derivative disclosures and Note 2 (D). for further counterparty risk disclosure. When option contracts expire or are closed, realized gains or losses are recognized without regard to any unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying securities that may be held by the Funds. If the Funds exercise a call option, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Funds exercise a put option, the premium paid for the put option increases the cost of the underlying security and a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security. |
D.
| Counterparty Risk. The Funds help manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor its obligations. The Adviser considers the credit worthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Written options contracts sold on an exchange do not expose the Funds to counterparty risk; the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the options against counterparty non-performance. Over-the-counter options counterparty risk includes the risk of loss of the full amount of any net unrealized appreciation. |
E.
| Use of Estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
F.
| Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent each Fund distributes substantially all its taxable net investment income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax should be required. Management of the Funds is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of May 31, 2024. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. Management of the Funds are required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that the Funds do not have any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require a provision for income tax. Accordingly, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties for the period ended May 31, 2024. |

May 31, 2024 (Continued)
G.
| Distributions to Shareholders. Each Fund expects to declare and distribute all of its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends monthly. The Funds will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Funds may distribute such income dividends and capital gains more frequently, if necessary, to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the Funds. |
The amount of any distribution will vary, and there is no guarantee the Funds will pay either an income dividend or a capital gains distribution.
H.
| Derivatives. The Funds may utilize derivative instruments such as options and other instruments with similar characteristics to the extent that they are consistent with the Funds’ respective investment objectives and limitations. The use of these instruments may involve additional investment risks, including the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying securities. Derivatives also may create leverage which will amplify the effect of their performance on the Funds and may produce significant losses.

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Adviser, the Adviser provides investment management services to the Funds and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the officers of the Trust. The Adviser administers the Funds’ business affairs, provides office facilities and equipment and certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services.

management fee at an annual rate of 0.58% and the NEOS Nasdaq-100® ETF and NEOS S&P 500® ETFpay the Adviser a monthly unitary management fee at the annual rate of 0.68%, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets. For the periods ended May 31, 2024, NEOS 1-3 Year T-Bill ETF, NEOS Aggregate Bond ETF, NEOS Nasdaq-100® ETF and NEOS S&P 500® ETF incurred $915,994, $33,466, $175,260 and $3,831,430, respectively, in management fees. Additionally, for the year ended May 31, 2024, the Adviser waived $1,721 of management fees with respect to the NEOS Aggregate Bond ETF.
Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses incurred by the Funds except for the management fee, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”), extraordinary expenses, and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Funds under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
For the NEOS Aggregate Bond ETF, the Adviser contractually has agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that AFFE and total annual Fund operating expenses, excluding portfolio transaction and other investment-related costs (including brokerage fees and commissions); taxes; borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short); fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); any administrative and/or shareholder servicing fees payable pursuant to a plan adopted by the Board; expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization; extraordinary expenses (such as litigation expenses, indemnification of Trust officers and Trustees and contractual indemnification of Fund service providers); and other expenses that the Trustees agree have not been incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, do not exceed 0.58% through September 28, 2024. This expense cap may not be terminated prior to this date except by the Board.
The NEOS Aggregate Bond ETF has agreed that it will repay the Adviser for fees and expenses waived or reimbursed for the Fund pursuant to the contractual expense limitation described above. Such repayment would increase the Fund’s expenses and would appear on the Statements of Operations as “Repayment of prior expenses waived and/or reimbursed by the Adviser.” However, repayment would only occur up to the point of the Fund’s expense cap.
Any such repayment must be made within three years from the date the expense was borne by the Adviser. Any such repayment made under any prior expense cap cannot cause the Fund’s Operating Expenses to exceed the lower of 0.58% of average daily net assets or the annual rate of daily net assets for the Fund under the terms of a prior expense cap. For the year ended May 31, 2024, NEOS Aggregate Bond ETF did not repay expenses to the Adviser.
As of May 31, 2024, the amounts eligible for repayment and the associated periods of expiration are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
NEOS Aggregate Bond ETF | | | $ 234 | | | $ 1,721 | | | $ 1,955 |

NOTE 7 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Each Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front-end sales loads, no deferred sales charges, and no redemption fees. The standard fixed transaction fees for the NEOS 1-3 Year T-Bill ETF and NEOS Aggregate Bond ETF are $300, and the NEOS S&P 500® ETF and NEOS Nasdaq-100® ETF is $500, payable to the Custodian. Additionally, a variable transaction fee may be charged by the Funds of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units (inclusive of any transaction fees charged), for each creation or redemption. Variable transaction fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for the transaction costs associated with creation and redemption transactions. The Adviser may adjust or waive the transaction fees from time to time. The Funds may each issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.
Shares of the NEOS Cash Alternative ETF and NEOS Aggregate Bond ETF are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc., shares of the NEOS S&P 500® ETF are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and shares of the NEOS Nasdaq-100® ETF are listed and traded on NASDAQ (the “Exchanges”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds will issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, typically 10,000 Shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are conducted in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a designated basket of in-kind securities and/or cash. Once created, Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit and at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Shares of the Funds may only be

purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) or (ii) a participant in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Funds’ Distributor. 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 shares directly from the Funds. 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.
NOTE 8 – BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of the date of these financial statements, NEOS Investment Management, LLC, the adviser to the NEOS Enhanced Income Cash Alternative ETF, NEOS S&P 500® High Income ETF, NEOS Enhanced Income Aggregate Bond ETF and NEOS Nasdaq-100® ETF, has no voting power of the shares outstanding of the Funds.
NOTE 9 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
As with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks, any of which may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet their investment objectives. A description of principal risks is included in each prospectus under the heading “Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund”.
NOTE 10 – GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Trust organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. The Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
Management has determined that there are no material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the NEOS ETF Trust since 2023.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory
CONTRACT (UNAUDITED)
If the board of directors approved any investment advisory contract during the Fund’s most recent fiscal half-year, discuss in reasonable detail the material factors and the conclusions with respect thereto that formed the basis for the board’s approval. Include the following in the discussion:
(1)
| Factors relating to both the board’s selection of the investment adviser and approval of the advisory fee and any other amounts to be paid by the Fund under the contract. These factors would include, but not be limited to, a discussion of the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the investment adviser; the investment performance of the Fund and the investment adviser; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows; and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. Also indicate in the discussion whether the board relied upon comparisons of the services to be rendered and the amounts to be paid under the contract with those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisers with other registered investment companies or other types of clients (e.g., pension funds and other institutional investors). If the board relied upon such comparisons, describe the comparisons and how they assisted the board in concluding that the contract should be approved; and |
(2)
| If applicable, any benefits derived or to be derived by the investment adviser from the relationship with the Fund such as soft dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research to the Fund or its investment adviser in return for allocating Fund brokerage. |
Response: The Advisory Agreement was approved by a majority of the Board, including the Independent Trustees, at a meeting held on December 12, 2023. The Board reviewed the materials provided by NEOS Investment Management, LLC (“NEOS” or the “Adviser”) in advance of the meeting, conferred with representatives prior to the meeting and further reviewed materials at the meeting. The Trustees were assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the Advisory Agreement review process. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement with respect to the NEOS Nasdaq 100 High Income ETF (the “New ETF”) and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service. The Board reviewed materials provided by NEOS related to the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement for the New ETF, a review of the professional personnel who will be performing services for the New ETF, NEOS’s compliance and risk management infrastructure, its financial strength and resources, and its investment process. The Board also noted the extensive responsibilities that NEOS will have as investment adviser to the New ETF, including: its adherence to the New ETF’s investment strategy and restrictions, buying and selling of securities and other transactions, reviewing its performance, voting the proxies received by the New ETF and oversight of, and its role in the creation of custom or redemption baskets for authorized participants; oversight of the daily valuation of the New ETF’s portfolio holdings including its role as Valuation Designee for the New ETF; oversight of general compliance with federal and state laws; and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the New ETF. The Board also considered research support available to, and management capabilities of, the New ETF’s management personnel and that NEOS will provide oversight of day-to-day Fund operations, including fund accounting, tax matters, administration, compliance and legal assistance in meeting disclosure and regulatory requirements. The Board discussed the extent of the NEOS’ research capabilities, the quality of its compliance infrastructure and the experience of its fund management personnel.
Additionally, the Board received satisfactory responses from the representatives of NEOS with respect to a series of questions, including: whether NEOS was involved in any lawsuits or pending regulatory actions; whether the management of other accounts would conflict with its management of the Trust and the New ETF; and whether there are procedures in place to adequately allocate trades among its respective clients.
The Board reviewed the description provided on the practices for monitoring compliance with the New ETF’s investment limitations, noting that NEOS’s CCO would periodically review the portfolio managers’ performance of

their duties to ensure compliance under NEOS’s compliance program. The Board concluded that NEOS had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures to perform its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services to be provided by NEOS to the New ETF would be satisfactory.
Performance. Because the New ETF had not commenced operations, the Board was not able to review its performance. The Board considered the performance of the other series in the Trust advised by NEOS and concluded that NEOS had the potential to deliver strong returns for shareholders.
Fees and Expenses. As to the costs of the services to be provided by NEOS, the Board discussed the comparison of advisory fees and total operating expense data and reviewed the New ETF’s advisory fee, which was a unitary fee, and overall expenses compared to peer funds and other funds advised by NEOS. The Board recalled NEOS’ discussion regarding the resources that will be required to manage the New ETF compared to those of its peers. The Board was aware that under the unitary fee arrangement, NEOS is contractually obligated to pay the fees of the New ETF’s service providers, with the exception of NEOS’s advisory fee and certain other expenses.
With respect to the New ETF, the Board noted that NEOS proposed an advisory fee of 0.68%. The Board compared this fee to the fees charged by a group of peer funds assembled by NEOS that invest in stocks comprising the Nasdaq 100 or similar index and utilize call options to generate income. The Board recalled NEOS assertion that the expertise and resources required to create the product and support the models supported the higher fee.
Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed NEOS’ asset projections and noted NEOS’ assertion that the asset levels at which economies of scale would be achieved were unlikely to be realized in the near term. They acknowledged NEOS’s statement regarding the challenges involved with attempting to forecast future growth and fee levels. The Board considered, however, NEOS’ willingness to discuss the matter of economies for the New ETF as its size materially increased. The Board agreed to monitor and revisit this issue at the appropriate time.
Profitability. The Board considered the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to NEOS with respect to the New ETF based on profitability projections and analyses reviewed by the Board and the selected financial information of NEOS provided by NEOS to the Board. After review and discussion, the Board concluded the anticipated profit from NEOS’s relationship with the New ETF would not be excessive.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from NEOS as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded that NEOS’ advisory fee for the New ETF was not unreasonable, and that approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interest of future shareholders of the New ETF.
