Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Subadvisor: Quantix Commodities LP
Performance Summary
The Fund returned 6.90% for the year ended October 31, 2024. The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Quantix Commodity Index (the “Index”), which returned 7.44% during the same period.
Top contributors to performance included:
• The Precious Metals sector, which was the biggest positive contributor due to Gold, which is the largest individual commodity weight in the Index.
• The Industrial Metals sector, with gains coming from Copper as Chinese stimulus package hopes supported demand expectations.
Top detractors from performance included:
• The Petroleum sector, particularly Heating Oil, Gasoil and Gasoline, detracted due to relatively subdued demand during peak driving season, along with an unexpectedly calm hurricane season.
• The Grains sector, notably Corn and Soybeans, detracted likely due to healthy global stocks-to-use ratios (a measure of supply and demand) and favorable weather patterns in the key producing regions.
Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance shown 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Subadvisor: Income Research + Management
Performance Summary
The Fund returned 5.11% since inception on May 1, 2024 through the period ended October 31, 2024, while the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.93% during the same period.
Top contributors to relative performance included:
• Security selection within the Financials and Industrial sectors and overweight in Financials.
• Security selection in primarily BBB- and BB-rated bonds which outperformed their A-rated counterparts as spreads broadly tightened during the period.
• Overweight to risk assets and underweight to U.S. Treasuries as corporate and securitized bonds broadly outperformed U.S. Treasury bonds.
• Within securitized products, overweight to Asset-Backed Securities and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS).
Top detractors from relative performance included:
• Security selection within CMBS.
• Overweight to Agency Residential Mortgage-Back Securities (RMBS) and underweight to Utilities.
• Out-of-index position allocation to Small Business Administration securitizations and non-Agency RMBS.

The Fund acquired the assets and assumed the then existing known liabilities of the predecessor fund on May 20, 2022 (the “Reorganization Date”). The Fund is the performance successor of the reorganization. This means that the predecessor fund’s performance and financial history are used by the Fund going forward from the Reorganization Date. Accordingly, the performance of the Fund for periods prior to the reorganization is the performance of the predecessor fund. The performance of the predecessor fund has not been restated to reflect the annual operating expenses of the Fund, which are lower than those of the predecessor fund. Because the Fund has different fees and expenses than the predecessor fund, the Fund would also have had different performance results. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for further details.
Current performance may differ from returns shown. The most recent month end performance is available under products at www.harborcapital.com or by calling 800-422-1050.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Subadvisor: Quantix Commodities LP
Performance Summary
The Fund returned -7.07% for the year ended October 31, 2024. The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Quantix Energy Transition Index, which returned -4.96% during the same period.
Top contributors to performance included:
• Silver, which benefitted from a combination of the performance of Gold (arising from Central Bank diversification) as well as industrial demand in what is potentially a deficit market.
Top detractors from performance included:
• European Natural Gas (TTF) returns, which were negatively impacted by roll yield, a practice of moving from an expiring futures contract to one further out the curve to maintain exposure to the commodity.
Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance shown 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.

The Fund was reorganized and commenced operations on December 4, 2023. The performance shown for the periods prior to December 4, 2023 is that of another investment vehicle, the Disciplined Alpha Onshore Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Predecessor Fund”), and reflects all fees and expenses, including a performance fee, incurred by the Predecessor Fund. Prior to December 4, 2023, Disciplined Alpha served as the general partner and investment manager to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on January 1, 2015, and implemented its investment strategy indirectly through its investment in a master fund, which had the same general partner, investment manager, investment policies, objectives, guidelines and restrictions as the Predecessor Fund. Regardless of whether the Predecessor Fund operated as a stand-alone fund or invested indirectly through a master fund, Disciplined Alpha managed the Predecessor Fund assets using investment policies, objectives, guidelines and restrictions that were in all material respects equivalent to those of the Fund. However, the Predecessor Fund was not a registered fund and so it was not subject to the same investment and tax restrictions as the Fund. If it had been, the Predecessor Fund’s performance may have been lower. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for further details.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Subadvisor: Jennison Associates LLC
Performance Summary
The Fund returned 45.57% for the year ended October 31, 2024, while the Russell 1000® Growth Index returned 43.77% during the same period.
Top contributors to relative performance included:
• Positions in Technology. Accelerated spending on Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications fueled significant gains for several of the Fund’s holdings including NVIDIA Corp., Broadcom, Inc., and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
• Positions in Communication Services. The top performers were Meta Platforms, Inc. and Netflix, Inc. Both companies benefited from demand growth and advertising revenue. Costco Wholesale Corp. also added to performance. The company benefited from higher demand through their pricing strategy.
Top detractors from relative performance included:
• Shares in Boeing Co. which lost value over the period. Production issues, coupled with the recent labor strike, weighed on the company’s share price.
Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance shown 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.

As of October 31, 2024, the investments in futures contracts (as disclosed in the preceding Futures Contracts schedule) were classified as Level 1 and all other investments were classified as Level 2.
For more information on valuation inputs and their aggregation into the levels identified above, please refer to the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures in Note 2 of the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.
1
Securities purchased in a transaction exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. The Fund has no right to demand registration of these securities. As of October 31, 2024, the aggregate value of these securities was $21,274 or 63% of net assets.
2
Rate changes from fixed to variable rate at a specified date prior to its final maturity. Stated rate is fixed rate currently in effect and stated date is the final maturity date.
3
If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
4
If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
5
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation.
6
The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
7
The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Harbor Multi-Asset Explorer ETF invests in unaffiliated investment companies. The recent financial statements, including the accounting policies, and schedules of investments of the underlying funds should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements. The expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the underlying funds.
At a meeting held on August 13-14, 2023, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) setting forth the terms and conditions of the reorganization of the Disciplined Alpha Onshore Fund LP (the “Target Fund”), a limited partnership formed pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended, with and into the Harbor Long-Short Equity ETF, a newly-organized series of the Trust (the “Acquiring Fund”) (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization was completed on December 4, 2023 (the “Reorganization Date”). Prior to the Reorganization Date, Disciplined Alpha LLC served as the investment adviser to the Target Fund. On the Reorganization Date, Harbor Capital became the investment adviser and Disciplined Alpha LLC became the subadvisor to the Acquiring Fund.
The Reorganization was accomplished by (1) the transfer of all of the Target Fund’s assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”) and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the Target Fund’s liabilities; and (2) immediately thereafter (a) the number of shares of the Acquiring Fund received by the Target Fund was distributed to holders (“Target Fund Interest Holders”) of the outstanding limited partnership interests in the Target Fund (“Target Fund Interests”) in proportion to the positive Target Fund capital account balances relating thereto and (b) cash was distributed to Target Fund Interest Holders in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund Shares, in redemption of all outstanding Target Fund Interests and in complete liquidation and termination of the Target Fund. The Reorganization was structured such that the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund did not recognize gain or loss in connection with the transfer of assets as part of the Reorganization.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Target Fund organized as a limited partnership was converted to an ETF on the Reorganization Date. The Acquiring Fund is the surviving legal entity. The Acquiring Fund had no investment operations or performance history prior to the Reorganization Date. While the Acquiring Fund has adopted the performance history of the Target Fund for evaluating investment performance, the Acquiring Fund did not adopt the operating history of the Target Fund for financial reporting purposes. The Acquiring Fund was established as a “shell” fund, organized solely in connection with the Reorganization
Harbor ETF TrustNotes to Financial Statements—Continued for the purpose of acquiring the assets and assuming the liabilities of the Target Fund. Below is a breakout of assets, liabilities, and total net assets at fair value transferred to the Acquiring Fund as of Reorganization Date after the close of business of the Target Fund on December 1, 2023. The amounts in this table are in thousands.

For financial reporting purposes, the Acquiring Fund recorded the assets received and liabilities assumed at fair value; however, the cost basis of each of the investments received from the Target Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Distributable earnings in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities include distributable earnings in the amount of $1,844,000 transferred to the Acquiring Fund as of Reorganization Date after the close of business of the Target Fund on December 1, 2023. The Acquiring Fund had no assets or liabilities prior to the reorganization; 150,000 shares were issued by the Acquiring Fund with a net asset value of $24.55 on the Reorganization Date.
NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. Each Fund follows the investment company reporting requirements under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which includes the accounting and reporting guidelines under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Investments are valued pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The valuation procedures permit the Advisor to use a variety of valuation methodologies, consider a number of subjective factors, analyze applicable facts and circumstances and, in general, exercise judgment, when valuing Fund investments. The methodology used for a specific type of investment may vary based on the circumstances and relevant considerations, including available market data.
Equity securities (including common stock, preferred stock, and convertible preferred stock), exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (such as futures contracts, rights and warrants) that are traded on a national securities exchange or system (except securities listed on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“NASDAQ”) system and United Kingdom securities) are valued at the last sale price on a national exchange or system on which they are principally traded as of the valuation date. Securities listed on the NASDAQ system or a United Kingdom exchange are valued at the official closing price of those securities. In the case of securities for which there are no sales on the valuation day, (i) securities traded principally on a U.S. exchange, including NASDAQ, are valued at the mean (or average) of the closing bid and ask price; and (ii) securities traded principally on a foreign exchange, including United Kingdom securities, are valued at the official bid price determined as of the close of the primary exchange. Shares of open-end registered investment companies that are held by a Fund are valued at net asset value. To the extent these securities are actively traded and fair valuation adjustments are not applied, they are normally categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are normally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For more information on the fair value hierarchy, please refer to the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures section.
Debt securities (including corporate bonds, municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. treasury obligations, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, foreign government obligations, convertible securities, other than short-term securities, with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days at the time of acquisition) are valued using evaluated prices furnished by a pricing vendor. An evaluated price represents an assessment by the pricing vendor using various market inputs of what the pricing vendor believes is the fair value of a security at a particular point in time. The pricing vendor determines evaluated
Harbor ETF TrustNotes to Financial Statements—Continued NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued
prices for debt securities that would be transacted at institutional-size quantities using inputs including, but not limited to, (i) recent transaction prices and dealer quotes, (ii) transaction prices for what the pricing vendor believes are securities with similar characteristics, (iii) the pricing vendor’s assessment of the risk inherent in the security taking into account criteria such as credit quality, payment history, liquidity and market conditions, and (iv) various correlations and relationships between security price movements and other factors, such as interest rate changes, which are recognized by institutional traders. In the case of asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, the inputs used by the pricing vendor may also include information about cash flows, prepayment rates, default rates, delinquency and loss assumption, collateral characteristics, credit enhancements and other specific information about the particular offering. Because many debt securities trade infrequently, the pricing vendor will often not have current transaction price information available as an input in determining an evaluated price for a particular security. When current transaction price information is available, it is one input into the pricing vendor’s evaluation process, which means that the evaluated price supplied by the pricing vendor will frequently differ from that transaction price. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are normally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days at the time of acquisition that are held by a Fund are valued at amortized cost to the extent amortized cost represents fair value. Such securities are normally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Swap agreements (including over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared swaps) generally derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs, or a combination of these factors. The value of swap agreements is generally determined by a pricing vendor using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models, or by the counterparties to the OTC swap agreements, typically using its own proprietary models. The pricing models may use inputs such as issuer details, indices, exchange rates, interest rates, yield curves, and credit spreads, that are observed from actively quoted markets. Swap agreements are normally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
When reliable market quotations or evaluated prices supplied by a pricing vendor are not readily available or are not believed to accurately reflect fair value, securities fair value determinations are made by the Advisor as designated by the Board of Trustees pursuant to the Investment Company Act. Fair value determinations for investments which incorporate significant unobservable inputs are normally categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of each Fund’s investments, which are summarized in three broad categories defined as Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily indicative of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The assignment of an investment to Levels 1, 2, or 3 is based on the lowest level of significant inputs used to determine its fair value.
Level 1–Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2–Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3–Significant unobservable inputs are used in situations where quoted prices or other observable inputs are not available or are deemed unreliable. Significant unobservable inputs may include each Fund’s own assumptions.
The categorization of investments into Levels 1, 2, or 3, and a summary of significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 investments, when applicable, can be found at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments schedule.
Each Fund used observable inputs in its valuation methodologies whenever they were available and deemed reliable.
Dividends declared on portfolio securities are accrued on the ex-dividend date. Dividend information on certain foreign securities may not be available on the ex-dividend date, therefore, such dividends will be recorded as soon as reliable information becomes available. Distributions from real estate investment trust securities are recorded as dividend income, and may be reclassified as capital gains and/or return of capital, based on the information reported by the issuer, when available. Interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are amortized over the life of the respective securities (except for premiums on certain callable debt securities that amortized to the earliest call date) using the effective yield method. Paydown gains and losses are recognized as a component of interest income. Consent fees relating to corporate actions from investments held are recorded as income upon receipt.

Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses on security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Distribution to Shareholders
Distributions on Fund shares are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Harbor Commodity All-Weather Strategy ETF’s and Harbor Energy Transition Strategy ETF’s Consolidated Portfolios of Investments, Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets include the investments and account balances of both the Funds and their wholly owned subsidiary, Harbor Cayman Inflation Focus Ltd and Harbor Cayman Energy Transition Ltd, respectively (individually, the “Subsidiary”). Each Fund’s Subsidiary enables each Fund to hold commodity-related instruments and satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its Subsidiary. All interfund transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to its shareholders all of its taxable income within the prescribed time. It is also the intention of each Fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision has been made for U.S. federal taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation of securities held or excise taxes on income and capital gains.
Each Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by foreign countries in which it invests. Such taxes are provided for in accordance with each Fund’s understanding of the applicable foreign country’s tax law and are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized gains and unrealized appreciation as such income and/or gains are earned.
Net realized gains or losses on investments resulting from in-kind creation unit redemptions, if any, are recognized in each Fund’s Statement of Operations. Such realized gains or losses are not taxable to a Fund and are reclassified from Distributable earnings (loss) to Paid-in capital at the end of a Fund’s tax year.
Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions on the open tax year (in particular, U.S. federal income tax returns for the tax years ended October 31, 2021-2023), if applicable, including all positions expected to be taken upon filing the 2024 tax return, in all material jurisdictions where each Fund operates, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in its Statement of Operations.
Each Fund may receive proceeds from shareholder litigation settlements involving current and/or previously held portfolio holdings. Any proceeds received from litigation involving portfolio holdings are reflected in the Statements of Operations in realized gain/(loss) if the security has been disposed of by a Fund, or in unrealized gain/(loss) if the security is still held by a Fund.
Foreign Currency Translations
Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Income and withholding taxes are translated at the prevailing exchange rate when accrued or incurred. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, when applicable, are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates at year end.
Harbor ETF TrustNotes to Financial Statements—Continued NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued
Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, when applicable, represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income accrued and tax reclaims receivable and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities, when applicable, are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the Statements of Operations.
Short sales are transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. When the Fund makes a short sale, it will often borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the counterparty through which it made the short sale to serve as collateral for its obligation to deliver the borrowed security upon conclusion of the sale. In connection with short sales of securities, the Fund may pay a fee or premium to borrow securities or maintain an arrangement with a counterparty to borrow securities and is obligated to pay any accrued interest and dividends on these borrowed securities. Dividends declared on securities sold short are accrued on the ex-dividend date and are recorded as expenses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time the short sale originated and the time that the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a capital gain. Until the borrowed security is replaced, the Fund will pledge cash or liquid investments sufficient to cover its short position with the Fund’s custodian. If the price of securities sold short increases, the Fund would be required to pay more to replace the borrowed securities than the Fund received on the sale of the securities. Because there is no limit to the amount of the potential increase in price of the borrowed securities, the Fund’s risk of loss on a short sale is potentially unlimited. Also, there is the risk that the counterparty to a short sale may fail to honor its contractual terms, causing a loss to the Fund.
During the period, Harbor Long-Short Equity ETF engaged in short sale transactions. The Fund has engaged State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) to provide prime brokerage and lending services. In accordance with the terms of the Fund’s agreement with State Street, the Fund may receive rebate income or be charged a fee for borrowed securities. Such income or fee is calculated and accrued daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent upon the availability of such security. The prime services fee is included in Dividend and interest expense on investments sold short in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Futures contracts tend to increase or decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument or can be used to hedge other Fund investments.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the fluctuation in value of the contract referred to as “variation margin.” Such receipts or payments are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed or expires, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. A Fund may suffer losses if it is unable to close out its position because of an illiquid secondary market. There is no assurance that a Fund will be able to close out its position when the Fund considers it appropriate or desirable to do so. In the event of adverse price movements, a Fund may be required to continue making cash payments to maintain its required margin. If a Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell portfolio securities to meet margin requirements at a time when the Fund would not otherwise elect to do so. In addition, a Fund may be required to deliver or take delivery of instruments. The maximum potential loss on a long futures contract is the U.S. dollar value of the notional amount at the time the contract is opened. The potential loss on a short futures contract is unlimited. There is minimal counterparty risk with futures contracts as they are traded on an exchange and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
During the year, Harbor Energy Transition Strategy ETF (Consolidated) and Harbor Scientific Alpha Income ETF held futures contracts. Harbor Energy Transition Strategy ETF (Consolidated) used futures contracts to gain exposure to the commodities market. Harbor Scientific Alpha Income ETF used futures contracts to gain exposure to the fixed income asset class with greater efficiency and lower cost than was possible through direct investment, to add value when these securities were attractively priced, or to adjust the portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Harbor ETF TrustNotes to Financial Statements—Continued NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued
Swap Agreements
A swap is a contract between two parties to exchange future cash flows at specified intervals (payment dates) based upon a notional principal amount during the agreed-upon life of the contract. Swap agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be cleared through a third party, known as a central clearing party or derivatives clearing organization (“centrally cleared swaps”).
Swaps are fair valued daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Operations.
Upon entering a swap agreement, any payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent a reconciling value to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (such as credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. If a liquidation payment is received or made at the termination of the swap, it is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. Daily changes to the fair value of centrally cleared swaps are recorded as Variation margin receivable or payable on centrally cleared swap agreements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are settled daily. An initial margin, typically in form of cash or qualifying highly liquid, high-quality short-term investments, is paid to the central clearing party, derivatives clearing organization or counterparty when the swap contract is executed and is recorded as Due from brokers on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks include the possibility that there is not a liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, or that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions or interest rates. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted value of the net cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life or the value of the contract. This risk is typically mitigated by the existence of a master netting arrangement between a Fund and the counterparty, the posting of collateral by the counterparty, and the central clearing party, as counterparty to all centrally cleared swaps, guaranteeing the performance of the swaps through the margin requirements.
Credit Default Swaps are agreements between counterparties to buy or sell protection on a debt security, a basket of securities, or an index of obligations against a defined credit event. Under the terms of a credit default swap, the buyer of protection receives credit protection in exchange for making periodic payments to the seller of protection based on a given percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return for these payments, the seller acts as the guarantor of the creditworthiness of a reference entity, obligation or index. An issuer may represent either a single issuer, a “basket” of issuers, or a credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole.
The buyer in a credit default contract is obligated to pay the seller a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event occurs. Credit events may include bankruptcy, failure to pay principal, maturity extension, rating downgrade, or write-down. As a seller, if an underlying credit event occurs, a Fund will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the reference obligation (or underlying securities comprising an index), or pay a net settlement amount of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the reference obligation (or underlying securities comprising an index). As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, a Fund will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the reference obligation (or underlying securities comprising an index) or receive a net settlement.
During the year, Harbor Scientific Alpha Income ETF used credit default swap agreements as a buyer to provide a measure of protection against defaults of an issuer.
Excess Return Swaps are agreements between counterparties to exchange the return of a given underlying index. Under the terms of the agreement, a Fund will make payments based on a set rate in exchange for payments from the counterparty based on the return of the underlying assets comprising the index. If the returns on the underlying assets are positive, the counterparty will pay the Fund, and if the returns are negative, the Fund will make payments to the counterparty. The excess return swaps held by Harbor Commodity All-Weather Strategy ETF (Consolidated), which generally are reset monthly, may be terminated by the Funds at any time.
During the year, Harbor Commodity All-Weather Strategy ETF (Consolidated) and Harbor Energy Transition Strategy ETF (Consolidated) used excess return swaps to gain exposure to commodities markets.

Other Matters
The Funds in the normal course of business invest in financial instruments where the risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market, economic, political and regulatory developments, as well as events such as war, terrorism or spread of infectious disease (market risk) or failure or inability of the counterparty to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk). In addition, certain Funds invest in foreign securities and as such are also subject to foreign currencies and foreign securities risks. Each Fund’s prospectus provides further details regarding the Fund’s principal risks.

Each Fund may engage in securities lending, whereby a Fund lends its securities to financial institutions in order to increase its income. The Trust has engaged State Street Bank and Trust Company to act as its agent (the “Lending Agent”) with respect to the lending of portfolio securities of the Funds, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (the “SLA Agreement”). Securities loans are required to be secured at all times during the term of the loan by collateral that is at least equal to the value of the loaned securities determined at the close of each business day. Collateral may consist of cash and/or securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. Any additional collateral that may be required to secure a loan is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is recognized as the gross liability for securities loaned in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the Lending Agent on behalf of the Funds, and the Funds do not have the ability to rehypothecate those securities. Cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio (the “Navigator Portfolio”), a money market mutual fund that seeks to provide income while maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00. There is no assurance that the Navigator Portfolio will maintain a stable net asset value and the Funds are subject to the risk of loss on the cash collateral invested. A portion of the earnings generated by the investment of the cash collateral is rebated to the borrower for the use of the cash collateral and these earnings (less any rebate) are then divided between the Fund and the Lending Agent, as a fee for its services, according to agreed-upon rates. The Lending Agent and a Fund will share in any shortfall in the rebate due to the borrower, according to agreed-upon rates.
In addition to receiving a fee from the borrower based on the demand for securities loaned and earning income on the investment of the cash collateral, a Fund receives substitute interest, dividends, or other amounts on the loaned securities, during the term of a loan. Net securities lending income is disclosed as such in the Statements of Operations and represents the income earned from the non-cash collateral and the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to the Lending Agent.
Loans may be terminated at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Fund securities that are identical to the loaned securities. The Funds bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned and the risk that the value of the collateral falls below the value of the securities on loan. Each Fund seeks to mitigate this risk through the SLA Agreement, which provides that in the event of default, the Lending Agent may apply the proceeds of the cash collateral from the loaned securities toward the purchase of replacement securities. If such proceeds are insufficient or the collateral is unavailable, the Lending Agent will purchase replacement securities at its sole expense, or if unable to do so, the Lending Agent may credit to the Fund’s account an amount equal to the fair value of the unreturned loaned securities. As the securities loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, the remaining contractual maturities of each securities lending transaction is considered to be overnight and continuous.
Harbor ETF TrustNotes to Financial Statements—Continued NOTE 3—INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS—Continued
During the year, Harbor International Compounders ETF engaged in securities lending. As of October 31, 2024, there were no securities on loan outstanding.
NOTE 4—CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at net asset value (“NAV”). The Advisor determines the number of shares that constitutes a Creation Unit and only authorized participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Unless cash-only redemptions are available or specified for a Fund, the redemption proceeds for Creation Units will generally consist of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Authorized participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Authorized participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in Net proceeds from sale of shares in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
From time to time, settlement of securities related to the purchase or redemption of Creation Units may be delayed and are reflected as Capital shares sold or Capital shares reacquired in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
NOTE 5—FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Investment Adviser
Harbor Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of ORIX Corporation. Harbor Capital is the Funds’ investment adviser and is also responsible for administrative and other services. Each Fund has a separate advisory agreement with Harbor Capital. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Advisor pays all of the operating expenses of the Fund, except for (i) the fee payment under the investment advisory agreement; (ii) payments under each Fund’s 12b-1 plan (if any); (iii) the costs of borrowing, including interest and dividend expenses; (iv) taxes and governmental fees; (v) acquired fund fees and expenses; (vi) brokers’ commissions and any other transaction related expenses and fees arising out of transactions effected on behalf of the Fund;(vii) costs of holding shareholder meetings; (viii) any gains or losses attributable to investments under a deferred compensation plan for Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust; and (ix) litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business.

The Advisor is responsible for bearing expenses associated with Independent Trustees’ compensation pursuant to the management fee arrangement with each Fund.
The Investment Company Act permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies subject to an exemptive rule. The Trust has adopted policies and procedures pursuant to such rule. During the year, the Funds did not enter into any transactions with any other Harbor fund.
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 Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnities to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
The amount and character of income and net realized gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting differences that were primarily due to the tax treatment of net investment losses and limitations, redemption in-kind distributions, the use of equalization, and the disallowance of loss from a controlled foreign corporation. Reclassifications, if any, are made

NOTE 8—OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Master Netting Arrangements
As described in further detail below, a Fund may enter into Master Netting Arrangements that govern the terms of certain transactions. Master Netting Arrangements are designed to reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by establishing credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization as a means of improving legal certainty. As Master Netting Arrangements are specific to the unique operations of different asset types, they allow a Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all of the transactions governed under a single agreement with that counterparty. Master Netting Arrangements can also help reduce counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting requirements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of investments at value (securities) or due from broker. Cash collateral received is not typically held in a segregated account and, as such, is reflected as a liability in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as due to broker. The fair value of any securities received as collateral is not reflected as a component of net asset value.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities of Harbor Commodity All-Weather Strategy ETF (Consolidated) and Harbor Energy Transition Strategy ETF (Consolidated) (two of the Funds comprising Harbor ETF Trust (the “Trust”)), including the consolidated portfolios of investments, as of October 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We have also audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Harbor Active Small Cap ETF, Harbor AlphaEdgeTM Large Cap Value ETF, Harbor AlphaEdgeTM Next Generation REITs ETF, Harbor AlphaEdgeTM Small Cap Earners ETF, Harbor Disciplined Bond ETF, Harbor Disruptive Innovation ETF, Harbor Dividend Growth Leaders ETF, Harbor Health Care ETF, Harbor Human Capital Factor Unconstrained ETF, Harbor Human Capital Factor US Large Cap ETF, Harbor Human Capital Factor US Small Cap ETF, Harbor International Compounders ETF, Harbor Long-Short Equity ETF, Harbor Long-Term Growers ETF, Harbor Multi-Asset Explorer ETF, Harbor PanAgora Dynamic Large Cap Core ETF, Harbor Scientific Alpha High-Yield ETF, and Harbor Scientific Alpha Income ETF (eighteen of the Funds comprising the “Trust”) (collectively, with Harbor Commodity All-Weather Strategy ETF (Consolidated) and Harbor Energy Transition Strategy ETF (Consolidated) referred to as the “Funds”), including the portfolios of investments, as of October 31, 2024, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below and the related notes (collectively, together with the consolidated financial statements, referred to as the “financial statements”).

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of 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 Trust 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. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s 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 Trust’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm—Continued
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the 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 October 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers or others, 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 Harbor funds investment companies since 2000.

ITEM 11 – STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
The Investment Company Act requires that the Investment Advisory and Subadvisory Agreement(s) (if applicable) of each Fund be approved initially, and following an initial two-year term, at least annually, by Harbor ETF Trust’s (the “Trust”) Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”), including a majority of the Independent Trustees voting separately.
FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE TRUSTEES IN APPROVING THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT OF HARBOR DISCIPLINED BOND ETF
At a meeting of the Board held on February 13-15, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, considered and approved (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of Harbor Disciplined Bond ETF (the “Fund”), and Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Harbor Capital”); and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreement among the Adviser, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Income Research + Management (the “Subadviser” or “IR+M”).
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials furnished by the Adviser and the Subadviser, including information about their respective affiliates, personnel, and operations, and also relied upon their knowledge of the Adviser resulting from their quarterly meetings, periodic telephonic meetings and other prior communications and of the Subadviser in its capacity as a subadviser for another Harbor fund. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, requested and received materials and presentations relating to the services to be rendered by the Adviser and Subadviser. The Trustees also discussed with representatives of the Adviser, at the Meeting and at prior meetings, the Harbor funds’ operations and the Adviser’s ability, consistent with the “manager-of-managers” structure of many Harbor funds, to (i) identify and recommend to the Trustees a subadviser for the Fund, (ii) monitor and oversee the performance and investment capabilities of such subadviser, and (iii) recommend the replacement of a subadviser when appropriate.
At the Meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees voting separately, determined, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable and approved the Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for an initial two-year term as being in the best interests of the Fund and its future shareholders.
In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees had the opportunity to meet privately without representatives of Harbor Capital or the Subadviser present and were represented throughout the process by legal counsel to the Independent Trustees and the Trust.
In considering the Fund’s proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated a number of factors it considered relevant to its determination. The Board did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and individual Trustees did not necessarily attribute the same weight or importance to each factor.
Among the factors considered by the Trustees were the following:
•The nature, extent, and quality of the combined services proposed to be provided by Harbor Capital and IR+M, including the background, education, expertise and experience of the investment professionals of Harbor Capital and IR+M to provide services to the Fund;
•The favorable history, reputation, qualifications and background of Harbor Capital and IR+M as well as the qualifications of their personnel;
•The fees proposed to be charged by Harbor Capital and IR+M for investment advisory and subadvisory services, respectively, including the portion of the fees to be retained by Harbor Capital, after payment of IR+M’s fees, for investment advisory and related services to be provided by Harbor Capital (including investment, business, legal, compliance, financial and administrative services) and for Harbor Capital’s undertaking to bear the operating expenses of the Fund, with certain limited exceptions;
Harbor ETF TrustADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)—Continued FORM N-CSR ITEMS 8-11—Continued
•The proposed fees and expense ratio of the Fund relative to the fees and expense ratios of similar investment companies;
•The investment performance of IR+M in managing other accounts in a style similar to the style to be utilized in managing the Fund relative to the performance of a benchmark index;
•The expected profitability of Harbor Capital with respect to the Fund;
•Information received at meetings throughout the year related to services rendered by Harbor Capital;
•The extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows, and the extent to which the Fund’s proposed advisory fee level reflects any economies of scale for the benefit of investors; and
•Any “fall out” benefits that might inure to Harbor Capital, IR+M and their respective affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services
In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Harbor Capital, the reasonableness of the overall compensation provided under the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and other considerations, the Trustees considered Harbor Capital’s ability, consistent with the manager-of-managers structure of many Harbor funds, to identify and recommend to the Trustees quality subadvisers for the Harbor funds, to monitor and oversee the performance and investment capabilities of each subadviser, and to recommend the replacement of a subadviser when appropriate. The Trustees specifically considered Harbor Capital’s history as a manager-of-managers, including its history of replacing subadvisers for particular Harbor funds in circumstances in which the Board and Harbor Capital had determined that a change in subadviser was in the best interests of a fund and its shareholders, whether as a result of (i) long-term underperformance not explained by market conditions or market cycles relative to the subadviser’s investment style, (ii) prolonged style inconsistency, (iii) material adverse changes in management or personnel, or (iv) other factors, such as if Harbor Capital were to identify another subadviser believed to better serve the shareholders than the existing subadviser.
The Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of Harbor Capital’s proposed services in light of the Board’s actual experience with Harbor Capital, as well as materials provided by Harbor Capital concerning the financial and other resources devoted by Harbor Capital to the Harbor funds generally, including the breadth and depth of experience and expertise of the investment, administrative, legal and compliance professionals dedicated to the Harbor funds' operations. The Trustees determined that Harbor Capital has the expertise and resources to identify, select, oversee and monitor subadvisers and to operate effectively as a manager-of-managers for the Fund. The Trustees also considered in their determination the depth, knowledge and experience level of the Subadviser’s personnel, the quality of the Subadviser’s processes and the culture of the Subadviser.
Advisory Fee and Expense Ratio
The Trustees noted that the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement provides that Harbor Capital will pay all of the operating expenses of the Fund, with certain limited exceptions set forth in the agreement, and that such unitary fee structure effectively acts as a cap on the fees and expenses of the Fund. The Trustees observed that the data available concerning comparative fees and expense ratios showed the proposed net expense ratio for the Fund was below the average and median of two peer groups of funds compiled using Morningstar data and presented to the Board for comparison purposes (one consisting solely of ETFs and the other of ETFs and mutual funds).
The Trustees also reviewed and determined to be reasonable, in relation to the services to be provided by each party, the split between the advisory fee to be paid to Harbor Capital and the subadvisory fee to be paid to IR+M and specifically the net advisory fee to be retained by Harbor Capital at various asset levels.
The Trustees noted that Harbor Capital expected to operate the Fund initially at a loss.
Harbor ETF TrustADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)—Continued FORM N-CSR ITEMS 8-11—Continued
Economies of Scale
The Trustees concluded that breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule were not necessary at the present time in light of, among other things, Harbor Capital’s forward-looking approach to setting the contractual advisory fee, its absorbing the Fund’s expenses and the uncertainty surrounding the aspects of the Fund’s future asset growth. It was agreed, however, that the Board would consider the issue of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule at least annually after the initial two-year contract term as part of its annual investment contract review process for all of the Harbor funds.
FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE TRUSTEES IN APPROVING THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF HARBOR ALPHAEDGE™ SMALL CAP EARNERS ETF
At a meeting of the Board held on May 15-17, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, considered and approved (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Harbor AlphaEdge™ Small Cap Earners ETF (the “Fund”), and Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Harbor Capital”).
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials furnished by the Adviser, including information about its affiliates, personnel, and operations, and also relied upon their knowledge of the Adviser resulting from their quarterly meetings, periodic telephonic meetings and other prior communications. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, requested and received materials and presentations relating to the services to be rendered by the Adviser and the underlying index the Fund would seek to track.
At the Meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees voting separately, determined, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable and approved the Investment Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term as being in the best interests of the Fund and its future shareholders.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services
In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Harbor Capital, the reasonableness of the overall compensation provided under the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and other considerations, the Trustees considered Harbor Capital’s ability, consistent with the manager-of-managers structure of many Harbor funds, to identify and recommend to the Trustees quality subadvisers for the Harbor funds, to monitor and oversee the performance and investment capabilities of each subadviser, and to recommend the replacement of a subadviser when appropriate. The Trustees specifically considered Harbor Capital’s history as a manager-of-managers, including its history of replacing subadvisers for particular Harbor funds in circumstances in which the Board and Harbor Capital had determined that a change in subadviser was in the best interests of a fund and its shareholders, whether as a result of (i) long-term underperformance not explained by market conditions or market cycles relative to the subadviser’s investment style, (ii) prolonged style inconsistency, (iii) material adverse changes in management or personnel, or (iv) other factors, such as if Harbor Capital were to identify another subadviser believed to better serve the shareholders than the existing subadviser.
The Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of Harbor Capital’s proposed services in light of the Board’s actual experience with Harbor Capital, as well as materials provided by Harbor Capital concerning the financial and other resources devoted by Harbor Capital to the Harbor funds generally, including the breadth and depth of experience and expertise of the investment,
Harbor ETF TrustADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)—Continued FORM N-CSR ITEMS 8-11—Continued
administrative, legal and compliance professionals dedicated to the Harbor funds' operations. The Trustees determined that Harbor Capital has the expertise and resources to identify, select, oversee and monitor subadvisers and to operate effectively as a manager-of-managers for the Fund. The Trustees also considered in their determination the depth, knowledge and experience level of the Subadviser’s personnel, the quality of the Subadviser’s processes and the culture of the Subadviser.
Advisory Fee and Expense Ratio
The Trustees noted that the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement provides that Harbor Capital will pay all of the operating expenses of the Fund, with certain limited exceptions set forth in the agreement, and that such unitary fee structure effectively acts as a cap on the fees and expenses of the Fund. The Trustees observed that the data available concerning comparative fees and expense ratios showed that the proposed net expense ratio for the Fund was below the average and median of a peer group consisting of ETFs and mutual funds and above the average and median of a peer group consisting solely of ETFs, both compiled using Morningstar data and presented to the Board for comparison purposes. The Trustees further noted that the peer group consisting solely of ETFs is comprised primarily of passively managed funds.
The Trustees also reviewed and determined to be reasonable, in relation to the services to be provided by each party, the split between the advisory fee to be paid to Harbor Capital and the subadvisory fee to be paid to Byron Place and specifically the net advisory fee to be retained by Harbor Capital at various asset levels.
The Trustees noted that Harbor Capital expected to operate the Fund initially at a loss.
The Trustees concluded that breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule were not necessary at the present time in light of, among other things, Harbor Capital’s forward-looking approach to setting the contractual advisory fee, its absorbing the Fund’s expenses and the uncertainty surrounding the aspects of the Fund’s future asset growth. It was agreed, however, that the Board would consider the issue of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule at least annually after the initial two-year contract term as part of its annual investment contract review process for all of the Harbor funds.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees observed that the data available concerning comparative fees and expense ratios showed that the proposed net expense ratio for Harbor AlphaEdge™ Next Generation REITs ETF was below the average and median of a peer group consisting of mutual funds and ETFs and equal to the median, and above the average, of a peer group consisting solely of ETFs, both compiled using Morningstar data and presented to the Board for comparison purposes. The Trustees further observed that the data showed that the proposed net expense ratio for Harbor AlphaEdge™ Large Cap Value ETF was below the average and median of two peer groups of funds (one consisting of mutual funds and ETFs and the other solely of ETFs), both compiled using Morningstar data and presented to the Board for comparison purposes.
The Trustees also noted that Harbor Capital expected to operate each Fund initially at a loss.

In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Harbor Capital, the reasonableness of the overall compensation provided under the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and other considerations, the Trustees considered Harbor Capital’s ability, consistent with the manager-of-managers structure of many Harbor funds, to identify and recommend to the Trustees quality subadvisers for the Harbor funds, to monitor and oversee the performance and investment capabilities of each subadviser, and to recommend the replacement of a subadviser when appropriate. The Trustees specifically considered Harbor Capital’s history as a manager-of-managers, including its history of replacing subadvisers for particular Harbor funds in circumstances in which the Board and Harbor Capital had determined that a change in subadviser was in the best interests of a fund and its shareholders, whether as a result of (i) long-term underperformance not explained by market conditions or market cycles relative to the subadviser’s investment style, (ii) prolonged style inconsistency, (iii) material adverse changes in management or personnel, or (iv) other factors, such as if Harbor Capital were to identify another subadviser believed to better serve the shareholders than the existing subadviser.
The Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of Harbor Capital’s proposed services in light of the Board’s actual experience with Harbor Capital, as well as materials provided by Harbor Capital concerning the financial and other resources devoted by Harbor Capital to the Harbor funds generally, including the breadth and depth of experience and expertise of the investment, administrative, legal and compliance professionals dedicated to the Harbor funds’ operations. The Trustees determined that Harbor Capital has the expertise and resources to identify, select, oversee and monitor subadvisers and to operate effectively as a manager-of-managers for the Fund. The Trustees also considered in their determination the depth, knowledge and experience level of the Subadviser’s personnel, the quality of the Subadviser’s processes and the culture of the Subadviser.
Advisory Fee and Expense Ratio
The Trustees noted that the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement provides that Harbor Capital will pay all of the operating expenses of the Fund, with certain limited exceptions set forth in the agreement, and that such unitary fee structure effectively acts as a cap on the fees and expenses of the Fund. The Trustees observed that the data available concerning comparative fees and expense ratios showed that the proposed net expense ratio for the Fund was below the average and median of a peer group consisting of ETFs and mutual funds and above the average and median of a peer group consisting solely of ETFs, both compiled using Morningstar data and presented to the Board for comparison purposes. The Trustees further noted that the peer group consisting solely of ETFs is comprised primarily of passively managed funds.
The Trustees also reviewed and determined to be reasonable, in relation to the services to be provided by each party, the split between the advisory fee to be paid to Harbor Capital and the subadvisory fee to be paid to Byron Place and specifically the net advisory fee to be retained by Harbor Capital at various asset levels.
Profitability
The Trustees noted that Harbor Capital expected to operate the Fund initially at a loss.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees concluded that breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule were not necessary at the present time in light of, among other things, Harbor Capital’s forward-looking approach to setting the contractual advisory fee, its absorbing the Fund’s expenses and the uncertainty surrounding the aspects of the Fund’s future asset growth. It was agreed, however, that the Board would consider the issue of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule at least annually after the initial two-year contract term as part of its annual investment contract review process for all of the Harbor funds.
FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE TRUSTEES IN APPROVING THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF Harbor ALPHAEDGE NEXT GENERATION REITS ETF AND hARBOR ALPHAEDGE LARGE CAP VALUE ETF
At a meeting of the Board held on August 7-9, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, considered and approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each of Harbor AlphaEdge Next Generation REITs ETF and Harbor AlphaEdge Large Cap Value ETF (each a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”), and Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Harbor Capital”).
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials furnished by the Adviser, including information about its affiliates, personnel, and operations, and also relied upon their knowledge of the Adviser resulting from their quarterly meetings, periodic telephonic meetings and other prior communications. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, requested and received materials and presentations relating to the services to be rendered by the Adviser and the underlying index each Fund would seek to track.
At the Meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees voting separately, determined, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable and approved the Investment Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term as being in the best interests of each Fund and its future shareholders.
In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees had the opportunity to meet privately without representatives of Harbor Capital and were represented throughout the process by legal counsel to the Independent Trustees and the Trust.
Factors Considered
In considering each Fund’s proposed Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated a number of factors it considered relevant to its determination. The Board did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and individual Trustees did not necessarily attribute the same weight or importance to each factor.
Among the factors considered by the Trustees were the following:
| • | The nature, extent, and quality of the services proposed to be provided by Harbor Capital, including the background, education, expertise and experience of the investment professionals of Harbor Capital to provide services to each Fund; |
| • | The favorable history, reputation, qualifications and background of Harbor Capital as well as the qualifications of its personnel; |
| • | The fee proposed to be charged by Harbor Capital for investment advisory and related services to be provided by Harbor Capital (including investment, business, legal, compliance, financial and administrative services) and for Harbor Capital’s undertaking to bear the operating expenses of each Fund, with certain limited exceptions; |
| • | The proposed fees and expense ratios of each Fund relative to the fees and expense ratios of similar investment companies; |
| • | Information about the indexes each Fund would seek to track, Harbor Capital’s assessment of those indexes, and Harbor Capital’s proposed strategy for seeking to track the indexes; |
| • | The expected profitability of Harbor Capital with respect to each Fund; |
| • | Information received at meetings throughout the year related to services rendered by Harbor Capital; |
| • | The extent to which economies of scale might be realized as each Fund grows, and the extent to which each Fund’s proposed advisory fee level reflects any economies of scale for the benefit of investors; and |
| • | Any “fall out” benefits that might inure to Harbor Capital and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with each Fund. |
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services
In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Harbor Capital, the reasonableness of the overall compensation provided under the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and other considerations, the Trustees considered Harbor Capital’s ability to manage each Fund in accordance with its investment objective of seeking to track its underlying index.
The Board evaluated the nature, extent, and quality of Harbor Capital’s proposed services in light of the Board’s actual experience with Harbor Capital, as well as materials provided by Harbor Capital concerning the financial and other resources devoted by Harbor Capital to the Harbor funds generally, including the breadth and depth of experience and expertise of the investment, administrative, legal and compliance professionals dedicated to the Harbor funds’ operations. The Trustees determined that Harbor Capital has the expertise and resources to manage each Fund in accordance with its investment objective. The Trustees also considered Harbor Capital’s role as index provider for each Fund’s underlying index and the resources dedicated to the index construction process.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees noted that each Fund’s proposed Investment Advisory Agreement provides that Harbor Capital will pay all of the operating expenses of the Fund, with certain limited exceptions set forth in the Agreement, and that such unitary fee structure effectively acts as a cap on the fees and expenses of the Fund. The Trustees observed that the data available concerning comparative fees and expense ratios showed that the proposed net expense ratio for Harbor AlphaEdge Next Generation REITs ETF was below the average and median of a peer group consisting of mutual funds and ETFs and equal to the median, and above the average, of a peer group consisting solely of ETFs, both compiled using Morningstar data and presented to the Board for comparison purposes. The Trustees further observed that the data showed that the proposed net expense ratio for Harbor AlphaEdge Large Cap Value ETF was below the average and median of two peer groups of funds (one consisting of mutual funds and ETFs and the other solely of ETFs), both compiled using Morningstar data and presented to the Board for comparison purposes.
Profitability
The Trustees also noted that Harbor Capital expected to operate each Fund initially at a loss.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees concluded that breakpoints in each Fund’s advisory fee schedule were not necessary at the present time in light of, among other things, Harbor Capital’s forward-looking approach to setting the contractual advisory fee, its absorbing each Fund’s expenses and the uncertainty surrounding the aspects of each Fund’s future asset growth. It was agreed, however, that the Board would consider the issue of breakpoints in each Fund’s advisory fee schedule at least annually after the initial two-year contract term as part of its annual investment contract review process for all of the Harbor funds.
FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE TRUSTEES IN APPROVING THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT OF Harbor PanAgora Dynamic Large Cap Core ETF
At a meeting of the Board held on August 7-9, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, considered and approved (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of Harbor PanAgora Dynamic Large Cap Core ETF (the “Fund”), and Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Harbor Capital”); and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreement among the Adviser, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and PanAgora Asset Management Inc. (the “Subadviser” or “PanAgora”).
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials furnished by the Adviser and the Subadviser, including information about their respective affiliates, personnel, and operations, and also relied upon their knowledge of the Adviser resulting from their quarterly meetings, periodic telephonic meetings and other prior communications. In connection with their consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, requested and received materials and presentations relating to the services to be rendered by the Adviser and Subadviser. The Trustees also discussed with representatives of the Adviser, at the Meeting and at prior meetings, the Harbor funds’ operations and the Adviser’s ability, consistent with the “manager-of-managers” structure of many Harbor funds, to (i) identify and recommend to the Trustees a subadviser for the Fund, (ii) monitor and oversee the performance and investment capabilities of such subadviser, and (iii) recommend the replacement of a subadviser when appropriate.
At the Meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees voting separately, determined, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable and approved the Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for an initial two-year term as being in the best interests of the Fund and its future shareholders.
In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees had the opportunity to meet privately without representatives of Harbor Capital or the Subadviser present and were represented throughout the process by legal counsel to the Independent Trustees and the Trust.
Factors Considered
In considering the Fund’s proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated a number of factors it considered relevant to its determination. The Board did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and individual Trustees did not necessarily attribute the same weight or importance to each factor.
Among the factors considered by the Trustees were the following:
| • | The nature, extent, and quality of the combined services proposed to be provided by Harbor Capital and PanAgora, including the background, education, expertise and experience of the investment professionals of Harbor Capital and PanAgora to provide services to the Fund; |
| • | The favorable history, reputation, qualifications and background of Harbor Capital and PanAgora as well as the qualifications of their personnel; |
| • | The fees proposed to be charged by Harbor Capital and PanAgora for investment advisory and subadvisory services, respectively, including the portion of the fees to be retained by Harbor Capital, after payment of PanAgora’s fees, for investment advisory and related services to be provided by Harbor Capital (including investment, business, legal, compliance, financial and administrative services) and for Harbor Capital’s undertaking to bear the operating expenses of the Fund, with certain limited exceptions; |
| • | The proposed fees and expense ratio of the Fund relative to the fees and expense ratios of similar investment companies; |
| • | The investment performance of PanAgora in managing other accounts in a style similar to the style to be utilized in managing the Fund relative to the performance of a benchmark index; |
| • | The expected profitability of Harbor Capital with respect to the Fund; |
| • | Information received at meetings throughout the year related to services rendered by Harbor Capital; |
| • | The extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows, and the extent to which the Fund’s proposed advisory fee level reflects any economies of scale for the benefit of investors; and |
| • | Any “fall out” benefits that might inure to Harbor Capital, PanAgora and their respective affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. |
