SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Each
Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company
accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Each Fund prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and
follows the significant accounting policies described below.
Consolidation
of Subsidiary – During the period ended
June 30, 2025, YBTC invested in Bitcoin ETF Options through a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the
“Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary and the Fund have the same investment adviser,
investment sub-adviser and investment objective. The Subsidiary also followed
the same general investment policies and restrictions as the Fund. The Fund
complied with the provisions of the 1940 Act governing investment policies and
capital structure and leverage on an aggregate basis with the Subsidiary.
Furthermore, Roundhill and Exchange Traded Concepts LLC, as the investment
adviser and investment sub-adviser to the Subsidiary, respectively, complied
with the provisions of the 1940 Act relating to investment advisory contracts as
it relates to its advisory agreement with the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary also
complied with the provisions of the 1940 Act relating to affiliated transactions
and custody. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a RIC under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the
size of the Fund’s investment
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Roundhill
ETF Trust
CONSOLIDATED
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
(Unaudited)(Continued)
in
the Subsidiary did not exceed 25% of the Fund’s total assets at each quarter end
of the Fund’s fiscal year. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidation of the Fund. At period ended June 30, 2025,
the Subsidiary was dissolved.
Use
of Estimates – The preparation of the
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in
net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Share
Transactions – The net asset value (“NAV”) per
share of each Fund will be equal to a Fund’s total assets minus a Fund’s total
liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is
published will be rounded to the nearest cent. The NAV is determined as of the
close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the New York
Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading.
Fair
Value Measurement – In calculating the NAV,
each Fund’s exchange-traded equity securities will be valued at fair value,
which will generally be determined using the last reported official closing or
last trading price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily
traded at the time of valuation. Such valuations are typically categorized as
Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
Securities
listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc., are generally valued at the NASDAQ
official closing price. Foreign securities will be priced in their local
currencies as of the close of their primary exchange or market or as of the time
each Fund calculates its NAV on the valuation date, whichever is earlier.
The
valuation of the each Fund’s investments is performed in accordance with the
principles found in Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. The Board of Trustees of the
Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”) has designated a fair valuation committee at
the Adviser as the valuation designee of the Funds. In its capacity as valuation
designee, the Adviser has adopted procedures and methodologies to fair value the
Funds’ investments whose market prices are not “readily available” or are deemed
to be unreliable. The circumstances in which a security may be fair valued
include, among others: the occurrence of events that are significant to a
particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults; the occurrence
of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in
a particular region or government actions; trading restrictions on securities;
thinly traded securities; and market events such as trading halts and early
market closings. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, fair values may
differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active
market existed. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV
determined by using market quotations. Such valuations are typically categorized
as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
Money
market funds are valued at NAV. If NAV is not readily available, the securities
will be valued at fair value.
Total
return swap contracts are valued using the closing price of the underlying
security or benchmark that the contract is tracking.
FASB
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and requires disclosure about
fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has
been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or
liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be
incorporated into fair value measurements. Under ASC 820, various inputs are
used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are
summarized in the following hierarchy:
|
Level 1
–
|
Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that
the Funds have the ability to access. |
|
Level 2
–
|
Observable
inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an
inactive market, prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment
speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Roundhill
ETF Trust
CONSOLIDATED
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
(Unaudited)(Continued)
|
Level 3
–
|
Unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable
inputs are not available; representing the Funds’ own assumptions about
the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or
liability, and would be based on the best information available.
|
The
fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). See the Schedule of Investments,
Schedule of Written Options and Schedule of Total Return Swap Contracts for a
summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2025 for the Funds based upon the three
levels described above.
The
availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is
affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of
security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the
marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to
the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are
less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value
requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in
determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
Foreign
securities, currencies and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the
U.S. dollar using the applicable currency exchange rates as of the close of the
NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Exchange-traded
options are valued at the composite mean price, which calculates the mean of the
highest bid price and lowest asked price across the exchange. On the last
trading day prior to expiration, expiring options may be priced at intrinsic
value. The premium a fund pays when purchasing a call option or receives when
writing a call or put option will reflect, among other things, the market price
of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of
the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the volatility of the
security, the length of the option period and supply and demand factors. The
premium is the value of an option at the date of purchase.
All
other securities and investments for which market values are not readily
available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is
inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned
procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under
procedures adopted by the Board, although the actual calculations may be done by
others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not
limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the
appropriate stock exchange (for exchange- traded securities), analysis of the
issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary,
available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.
An
amortized cost method of valuation may be used with respect to debt obligations
with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Adviser determines in
good faith that such method does not represent fair value.
Security
Transactions – Investment transactions are
recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).
Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are
calculated based on the specific identification basis.
The
Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and currency gains or losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions from
the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from
investments.
The
Funds report net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales
of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on foreign currency transactions, and the difference between
the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on
each Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually
received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from
changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in
securities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Investment
Income – Dividend income is recognized on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Withholding taxes on foreign
dividends has been provided for in accordance with Funds’ understanding of the
applicable tax rules and regulations. Discounts/premiums on debt securities are
accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the
effective interest method.
Tax
Information, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders and Uncertain Tax
Positions – The Funds are treated as a
separate entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify as
a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). To qualify and
remain eligible for the special tax treatment accorded to RICs, each Fund must
meet certain annual income and quarterly asset diversification requirements and
must distribute annually at least 90% of the sum of (i)its investment company
taxable income (which includes dividends, interest and net short-term capital
gains) and (ii)certain net tax-exempt income, if any. If so qualified, each Fund
will not be subject to Federal income tax.
Distributions
to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. YBTC, YETH, QDTE, MAGY,
XDTE, RDTE, WEEK generally pay out dividends from net investment income, if any,
at least weekly, and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to shareholders
at least annually. XPAY generally pays out dividends from net investment income,
if any, at least monthly, and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to
shareholders at least annually. DRAG, MAGX, HUMN, OZEM, UX, generally pay out
dividends from net investment income, if any, at least annually, and distributes
its net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. The Funds may
also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with
Federal tax requirements. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance
with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These
“book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.
To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are
reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax
basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Dividends and distributions which exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes
are reported as a tax return of capital.
Management
evaluates the Funds’ tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet
the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for
uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the
purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial
statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required
only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming
examination by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to income
taxes would be recorded as income tax expense. The Funds’ Federal income tax
returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)
for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax
returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on
the jurisdiction. As of June 30, 2025, the Funds’ fiscal period end, the Funds
had no material uncertain tax positions and did not have a liability for any
unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 30, 2025, the Funds’ fiscal period end,
the Funds had no examination in progress and management is not aware of any tax
positions for which it is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized
tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
The
Funds recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in
the 2024 fiscal period. At December 31, 2024, the Funds’ fiscal period end, the
tax periods since commencement of operations remained open to examination in the
Funds’ major tax jurisdiction.
Indemnification
– In the normal course of business, the Funds
expect to enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and
warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum
exposure under these anticipated arrangements is unknown, as this would involve
future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
However, the Adviser expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Derivatives
– DRAG, MAGX, UX may enter into total return
swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to the securities in a market
without actually purchasing those securities, or to hedge a position. A total
return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to
another party based on the change in market value of the assets underlying the
contract, which may include a specified security, basket of securities, or
securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments
based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from other
underlying assets. Swap agreements will usually be made on a net basis, i.e.,
where the two parties make net payments with a Fund receiving or paying, as the
case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The net amount
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Roundhill
ETF Trust

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)(Continued)
of
the excess, if any, of a Fund’s obligations over its entitlements with respect
to each swap is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or equivalents
having an aggregate value at least equal to the accrued excess is maintained by
the Funds.
The
total return swap contracts are subject to master netting agreements, which are
agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net
settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds through a single
payment, in the event of default or termination. The amounts presented on the
Schedules of Total Return Swap Contracts are gross settlement amounts.
MAGX
has entered into total return swaps by investing in another ETF advised by the
Adviser (“Affiliated Fund”). This investment technique provides the Fund with
synthetic long investment exposure to the performance of the Affiliated Fund
through payments made by a swap dealer counterparty to the Fund under the swap
that reflect the positive total return (inclusive of dividends and
distributions) on those shares. In exchange, the Fund would make periodic
payments to the counterparty under the swap based on a fixed or variable
interest rate, as well as payments reflecting any negative total return on those
shares. The swap provides the Fund with the economic equivalent of ownership of
those shares through an entitlement to receive any gains realized, and dividends
paid, on the shares, and an obligation to pay any losses realized on the shares.
This investment technique provides the Fund effectively with leverage intended
to achieve an economic effect similar to the Fund’s purchase of shares of the
Affiliated Fund with borrowed money. Additional associated risks to the Fund
include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
The
below Funds owned the following Affiliated Funds during the period ended June
30, 2025. Transactions during the period were as follows:

Each
Fund may purchase and write put and call options on indices and enter into
related closing transactions. All options written on indices or securities must
be covered and each Fund will segregate cash and/or other liquid assets in an
amount equal to the Fund’s obligations. Put and call options on indices give the
holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount of cash if
the closing level of the underlying index is greater than (or less than, in the
case of puts) the exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal to
the difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of
the option, expressed in dollars multiplied by a specified number. The premium
paid to the writer is the consideration for undertaking the obligations under
the option contract.
The
Funds invest in derivatives in order to protect against a possible decline in
the market value of securities in its portfolio, to anticipate an increase in
the market value of securities that the Funds may seek to purchase in the future
and as a means of increasing the yield on its assets. The Funds purchasing put
and call options pay a premium; therefore, if price movements in the underlying
securities are such that exercise of the options would not be profitable for the
Funds, loss of the premium paid may be offset by an increase in the value of the
Funds’ securities or by a decrease in the cost of acquisition of securities by
the Funds. When the Funds write an option, if the underlying securities do not
increase or decrease to a price level that would make the exercise of the option
profitable to the holder thereof, the option generally will expire without being
exercised and the Funds will realize as profit the premium received for such
option. When a call option of which the Funds are the writer is exercised, the
Funds will be required to sell the underlying securities to the option holder at
the strike price and will not participate in any increase in the price of such
securities above the strike price. When a put option of which the Funds are the
writer is exercised, the Funds will be required to purchase the underlying
securities at a price in excess of the market value of such securities. The
Funds maintain minimal counterparty risk through contracts bought or sold on an
exchange. As of June 30, 2025, the Funds’ option contracts are not subject
to a master netting arrangement.
The
average monthly value outstanding of purchased and written options during the

Distribution
Agreement and 12b-1 Plan – Foreside Fund
Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as each Fund’s distributor pursuant to
an ETF Distribution Agreement. The Distributor receives compensation from the
Adviser for certain statutory underwriting services it provides to the Funds.
The Distributor enters into agreements with certain
TABLE OF CONTENTS

ETF Trust
CONSOLIDATED
Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)(Continued)
broker-dealers
and others that will allow those parties to be “Authorized Participants” and to
subscribe for and redeem shares of the Funds. The Distributor will not
distribute shares in less than whole Creation Units and does not maintain a
secondary market in shares.
The
Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under
the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1 Plan”). In accordance with the Rule 12b-1 Plan, each
Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net
assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. As authorized by
the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no
plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in
the future, they will be paid out of each Fund’s assets. The Adviser and its
affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for
distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Funds.
Administrator,
Custodian and Transfer Agent – U.S. Bancorp
Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund
Services” or the “Administrator”) serves as administrator, transfer agent and
fund accounting agent of the Funds pursuant to a Fund Servicing Agreement. U.S.
Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”), an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as the Funds’
custodian pursuant to a Custody Agreement. Under the terms of these agreements,
the Adviser pays each Fund’s administrative, custody and transfer agency fees.
Pursuant
to an agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and ACA Global, an
employee of ACA Global serves as Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust. Fees for
these services are paid by the Adviser under the terms of the Advisory
Agreement.
At
June 30, 2025, certain Officers and a Trustee of the Trust were also officers or
employees of the Adviser.

CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS
Shares
of XPAY are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Shares of DRAG, YBTC, XDTE,
QDTE, RDTE, YETH, WEEK, UX, HUMN, and MAGY are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX
Exchange, Inc. Shares of MAGX and OZEM are listed and traded on the NASDAQ Stock
Market, LLC. Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV
only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are to be
issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a
balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in
amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the
day. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The NAV is
determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on
each day the NYSE is open for trading. The NAV of the shares of each Fund will
be equal to a Fund’s total assets minus a Fund’s total liabilities divided by
the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be
rounded to the nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of
Creation Units, the NAV will be calculated to four decimal places.
Creation
Unit Transaction Fee – Authorized Participants
will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (the “Creation
Unit Transaction Fee”) in connection with the issuance or redemption of Creation
Units. The standard Creation Unit Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of
the number of Creation Units purchased or redeemed by an investor on the
applicable business day. The Creation Unit Transaction Fee charged by the Funds
for each creation order is $300.
The
fixed creation unit transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if
applicable Fund’s custodian has determined to waive some or all of the Creation
Order Costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser, has
agreed to pay such fee.
An
additional variable fee of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation
Units subject to the transaction may be imposed for (i) creations effected
outside the Clearing Process and (ii) creations made in an all cash amount (to
offset the Trust’s brokerage and other transaction costs associated with using
cash to purchase or redeem the requisite Deposit Securities). Investors are
responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the
Deposit Securities to the account of the Trust. Each Fund may determine to not
charge a variable fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that
doing so is in the best interests of Fund shareholders. Variable fees, if any,
received by the Funds are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions section on
the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Only
“Authorized Participants” may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds.
An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in
the clearing process through the Continuous Net
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Roundhill
ETF Trust
CONSOLIDATED
Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)(Continued)
Settlement
System of National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant
and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the
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 the 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. Securities received or delivered in connection with in-kind creates and
redeems are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the
creation or redemption.
A
creation unit will generally not be issued until the transfer of good title of
the deposit securities to the Funds and the payment of any cash amounts have
been completed. To the extent contemplated by the applicable participant
agreement, Creation Units of the Funds will be issued to such authorized
participant notwithstanding the fact that the Funds’ deposits have not been
received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the authorized
participant to deliver the missing deposit securities as soon as possible. If
the Funds or their agents do not receive all of the deposit securities, or the
required cash amounts, by such time, then the order may be deemed rejected and
the authorized participant shall be liable to the Funds for losses, if any.

ROUNDHILL
ETF TRUST
Board
Consideration and Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory
Agreements
Roundhill Uranium ETF
At
a regularly scheduled meeting held on January 9 and January 13, 2025
(the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Roundhill ETF Trust (the
“Trust”), including those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the
Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the
“Independent Trustees”), considered the approval of an investment
management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) between Roundhill
Financial Inc. (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, with respect to the Roundhill
Uranium ETF (the “Fund”), and a sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory
Agreement” and, together with the Investment Management Agreement, the
“Agreements”) between the Adviser, and Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the
“Sub-Adviser”) with respect to the Fund.
Pursuant
to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Agreements must be approved with respect
to the Fund by: (i) the vote of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) the vote
of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with its consideration of such
approval, the Board must request and evaluate, and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser
are required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to
evaluate the terms of the Agreements.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board in advance of the
Meeting, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided the Board
with an overview, during the Meeting, of the Fund’s proposed strategy,
the services proposed to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser, and additional information about the Adviser’s and
Sub-Adviser’s advisory business, including information on investment personnel,
financial resources, experience, investment processes, risk management processes
and liquidity management, and compliance programs. The representatives from the
Adviser discussed the rationale for launching the Fund, the Fund’s proposed
fees, and the operational aspects of the Fund. The Board considered the
Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s presentation and the materials it received in
advance of the Meeting, including a memorandum from legal counsel to the
Independent Trustees regarding the responsibilities of the Trustees in
considering the approval of the Agreements. The Board also noted that the
evaluation process with respect to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser is an ongoing one
and that in this regard, the Board took into account discussions with management
and information provided to the Board at prior meetings and between meetings
with respect to the services to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser.
The Board deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this
information. Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity
to ask questions of, and request additional materials from, the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session with their
independent counsel to further discuss the proposed Agreements and the
Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto. The information
received and considered by the Board in connection with the Board’s
determination to approve the Agreements was both written and oral.
At
the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser to the Fund; (ii) the Fund’s anticipated expenses and performance;
(iii) the cost of the services to be provided and anticipated profits to be
realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from
their relationship with the Trust and the Fund; (iv) comparative fee and
expense data for the Fund and other investment companies with similar investment
objectives; (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the
Fund grows and whether the overall advisory fee for the Fund would enable
investors to share in the benefits of economies of scale; (vi) any benefits
to be derived by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the Trust
and the Fund, including any fall-out benefits enjoyed by the Adviser or
Sub-Adviser; and (vii) other factors the Board deemed relevant. The factors
considered and the deliberations by the Board in connection with the approval of
the Agreements are set forth below but are not exhaustive of all matters that
were discussed by the Board. The Board also took into account the recommendation
of the Adviser and considered other factors (including conditions and trends
prevailing generally in the economy and the securities markets). In its
deliberations, the Board did not identify any single piece of information that
was paramount or controlling and the individual Trustees may have attributed
different weights to various factors.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
ROUNDHILL
ETF TRUST
Board
Consideration and Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory
Agreements(Continued)
Approval of the Advisory Agreement with the
Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided.
The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the
Investment Management Agreement, noting that the Adviser will be providing,
among other things, a continuous investment program for the Fund, determining
the assets to be purchased, retained or sold by the Fund, the provision of
related services such as portfolio management compliance services, and the
preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Trustees
reviewed the extensive responsibilities that the Adviser will have as investment
adviser to the Fund, including the oversight of the activities and operations of
the Sub-Adviser and other service providers, oversight of general fund
compliance with federal and state laws, and the implementation of Board
directives as they relate to the Fund. In considering the nature, extent, and
quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered the
quality of the Adviser’s compliance program, including its compliance and
regulatory history and information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer
(“CCO”) regarding his review of the Adviser’s compliance program. The Board
noted that it had received a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV, as well as the
responses of the Adviser to a detailed series of questions that included, among
other things, information about the Adviser’s decision-making process,
details about the Fund, and information about the services to be provided by the
Adviser. The Board also considered the Adviser’s operational capabilities and
resources and its experience in managing investment portfolios. In considering
the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the
Board also took into account its knowledge, acquired through discussions and
reports at prior meetings and in between meetings, of the Adviser’s management
and the quality of the performance of the Adviser’s duties, as well as the
Board’s experience with the Adviser as the investment adviser to other series of
the Trust. The Board concluded that, within the context of its full
deliberations, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the
services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser.
Performance.
Because the Fund had not yet commenced
operations, there were no historical performance records to consider. The Board
was presented with information about the Fund’s investment strategies. The Board
noted that neither the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser currently manage a comparable
exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), mutual fund, or managed account with a performance
track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentation by the
Adviser and the experience of its personnel and determined that the Adviser
provided sufficient basis to permit the Board in its business judgment to
conclude that the Adviser had the overall capability to perform its duties with
respect to the Funds under the Investment Management Agreement, and that the
Adviser and the Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level of
investment returns for the Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. Regarding the costs of the
services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered, among other
expense data, a comparison of the Fund’s proposed unitary fee compared to the
advisory fee and expenses of its most direct competitors as identified by the
Adviser (the “Selected Peer Group”). The Board noted that while it found the
comparative data provided by the generally useful, it recognized its
limitations, including potential differences in the investment strategies of the
Fund relative to the strategies of the funds in the Selected Peer Group, as well
as the level, quality and nature of the services to be provided by the Adviser
with respect to the Fund. The Board noted that the proposed unitary fee was
within the range of advisory fees and expense ratios for the Selected Peer
Group. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s
proposed unitary fee and the differences in the Fund’s strategy from the
Selected Peer Group. In considering the level of the advisory and sub-advisory
fee with respect to the Fund, the Board also noted that the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser do not manage any other accounts with a similar investment strategy.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the unitary fee appeared to be
competitive and is otherwise reasonable in light of the information
provided.
Cost
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser, including the methodology underlying such projection.
The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee for the Fund was a
“unitary fee,” meaning the Fund would pay no expenses other than the advisory
fee, interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on
securities sold short, 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, accrued deferred tax liability,
extraordinary expenses, and, to the extent it is implemented, fees pursuant to a
Distribution and/or Shareholder Servicing (12b-1) Plan. The Board noted that the
Adviser would be responsible for compensating the Trust’s other service
providers, including the Sub-Adviser, and paying the Fund’s other expenses out

Consideration and Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory
Agreements(Continued)
of
its own revenue and resources. The Board also evaluated the compensation and
benefits expected to be received by the Adviser from its relationship with the
Fund, taking into account the Adviser’s anticipated profitability analysis with
respect to the Fund and the financial resources the Adviser had committed and
proposed to commit to its business. The Board took into account that the Fund
had not yet commenced operations and consequently, the future size of the Fund
and the Adviser’s future profitability were generally unpredictable.
Economies
of Scale. The Board noted that the Adviser
might realize economies of scale in managing the Fund as assets grow in size.
The Board noted, however, that any economies would, to some degree, be shared
with the Fund’s shareholders through the Fund’s unitary fee structure. In the
event there were to be significant asset growth in the Fund, the Board
determined to reassess whether the advisory fee appropriately took into account
any economies of scale that had been realized as a result of that
growth.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund. The
Board considered the Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with respect to
portfolio transactions and considered that the Adviser does not intend to
utilize soft dollars with respect to the Fund. The Board further considered that
Adviser does not use any affiliated brokers to execute portfolio transactions.
The Board noted there were currently no distribution or service fees being paid
by the Fund to the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board considered that the
Adviser may receive some form of reputational benefit from services rendered to
the Fund, but that such benefits are immaterial and cannot otherwise be
quantified. The Board concluded that the additional benefits the Adviser would
receive from its relationship with the Fund are reasonable and appropriate.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Investment Management Agreement; rather, the Board based
its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement, including the compensation payable thereunder, were fair and
reasonable to the Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the Investment Management
Agreement for an initial term of two years was in the best interests of the Fund
and its shareholders.
Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with
the Sub-Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Board considered the scope of services to be
provided to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that the
Sub-Adviser would provide investment management services to the Fund. The Board
noted the responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser would have as the Fund’s
investment sub-adviser, including: responsibility for the management of the
securities and other assets of the Fund, subject to the supervision and
oversight of the Adviser; executing placement of orders and selection of brokers
or dealers for such orders; general portfolio compliance with relevant law;
responsibility for daily monitoring of portfolio exposures and quarterly
reporting to the Board and proxy voting with respect to securities held by the
Fund.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program, including its compliance and regulatory history, and
information from the Trust’s CCO regarding his review of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program. The Board further noted that they had received and reviewed
materials with regard to the Sub-Adviser, including its responses to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Sub-Adviser’s decision-making process, details about the Fund, and information
about the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered
the Sub-Adviser’s resources and capacity with respect to portfolio management,
compliance, and operations. The Board also considered, among other things, the
professional experience and qualifications of the senior management and key
professional personnel of the Sub-Adviser, including those individuals
responsible for portfolio management.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser, the Board also took into account its knowledge, acquired through
discussions and reports at a prior meeting and in between meetings, of the
Sub-Adviser’s management and the quality of the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s
duties, as well as the Board’s experience with the Sub-Adviser as the investment
sub-adviser to other series of the Trust. The Board concluded, within the
context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and
quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Sub-Adviser.

Consideration and Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory
Agreements(Continued)
Performance.
Because the Fund had not yet commenced
operations, the Board noted that there was no historical performance records to
consider. The Board was presented with information about the Fund’s investment
strategies. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser currently did not manage a
comparable ETF, mutual fund, or managed account with a performance track record
for comparison. The Board considered the presentations by the Adviser and the
Sub-Adviser and the experience of the Sub-Adviser’s personnel and determined
that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided sufficient basis to permit the Board
in its business judgment to conclude that the Sub-Adviser had the overall
capability to perform its duties with respect to the Funds under the
Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were expected to
obtain an acceptable level of investment returns for the Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. The Board also reviewed
information regarding the Fund’s proposed sub-advisory fee, including advisory
fees and total expense ratios of those funds that might be considered peers of
the Fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee
appeared to be competitive and a product of arm’s length negotiation and is
otherwise reasonable in light of the information provided.
Costs
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including the methodology underlying
such projection. The Board considered that the fees to be paid to the
Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser from the fee the Adviser received from
the Fund and noted that the fee reflected an arm’s-length negotiation between
the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took into account the amount of
the unitary fee to be retained by the Adviser and the services to be provided
with respect to the Fund by the Adviser and further determined that the
sub-advisory fee reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory fee paid to
the Adviser given the work to be performed by each firm. The Board also
evaluated the compensation and benefits expected to be received by the
Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Fund, taking into account an analysis
of the Sub-Adviser’s estimated profitability, if any, with respect to the Fund.
The Board noted that, because the Sub-Adviser’s advisory fee would be paid by
the Adviser out of its unitary fee, the Sub-Adviser’s profitability is not a
material consideration.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that it
currently appeared that the Sub-Adviser might realize economies of scale in
managing the Fund as assets grow in size. The Board determined that it would
monitor fees as the Fund’s assets grow to determine whether economies of scale
were being effectively shared with the Fund and its shareholders.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Fund.
The Board considered Sub-Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with respect to
portfolio transactions and considered that the Sub-Adviser does not intend to
utilize soft dollars with respect to the Fund. The Board considered that the
Sub-Adviser may receive some form of reputational benefit from services rendered
to the Fund, but that such benefits are immaterial and cannot otherwise be
quantified. The Board concluded that the additional benefits the Sub-Adviser
would receive from its relationship with the Fund are reasonable and
appropriate.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement; rather, the Board based its
determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of that Sub-Advisory Agreement,
including the compensation payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable to the
Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore
determined that the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial
two-year term was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Physical Uranium ETF Cayman Ltd.
At
a regularly scheduled meeting held on January 9 and January 13, 2025
(the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Roundhill ETF Trust
(the “Trust”), including those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the
Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the
“Independent Trustees”), considered the approval of an investment management
agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) between Roundhill Financial
Inc. (the “Adviser”) and the Roundhill Physical Uranium ETF Cayman Ltd. (the
“Cayman Subsidiary”), on behalf of the Roundhill Uranium ETF (the “Fund”), and a
sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the
Investment Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Adviser and
Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to the Cayman
Subsidiary.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board in advance of the
Meeting, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided the Board
with an overview, during the Meeting, of the Cayman Subsidiary’s proposed
investments, the services proposed to be provided to the Cayman Subsidiary by
the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and additional information about the Adviser’s and
Sub-Adviser’s advisory business, including information on investment personnel,
financial resources, experience, investment processes, risk management processes
and liquidity management, and compliance program. The representatives from the
Adviser discussed the rationale for establishing the Cayman Subsidiary and the
operational aspects of the Cayman Subsidiary. They indicated that there would be
no management fee charged with respect to the Cayman Subsidiary. The Board
considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s presentation and the materials it
received in advance of the Meeting, including a memorandum from legal counsel to
the Independent Trustees regarding the responsibilities of the Trustees in
considering approval of investment advisory agreements. The Board also noted
that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser is an
ongoing one and that in this regard, the Board took into account discussions
with management and information provided to the Board at prior meetings and
between meetings with respect to the services to be provided by the Adviser and
the Sub-Adviser. In considering the Agreements, the Board took into account the
information and the factors and conclusions that it had considered in connection
with approval of the Fund’s management and sub-advisory agreements at the
Meeting. The Board also took into account the information provided and factors
considered, as applicable, in connection with the approval of the management and
sub-advisory agreements with respect to the Fund at this Meeting. The Board
deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this information.
Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of, and request additional materials from, the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session with their
independent counsel to further discuss the proposed Agreements and the
Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto. The information
received and considered by the Board in connection with the Board’s
determination to approve the Agreements was both written and oral.
At
the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser to the Cayman Subsidiary; (ii) the Cayman Subsidiary’s anticipated
expenses and performance; (iii) the cost of the services to be provided and
anticipated profits, if any, to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and
their respective affiliates from the relationship with the Cayman Subsidiary;
(iv) comparative fee and expense data for the Cayman Subsidiary and other
investment companies with similar investment objectives, if any; (v) the extent
to which any economies of scale would be realized in connection with the
operation of the Cayman Subsidiary; (vi) any benefits to be derived by the
Adviser or Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the Cayman Subsidiary,
including any fall-out benefits enjoyed by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser; and (vii)
other factors the Board deemed relevant. The factors considered and the

the extensive responsibilities that the Adviser will have as investment

Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding his review of the Adviser’s compliance
program. The Board noted that it had received a copy of the Adviser’s
Form ADV, as well as the responses of the Adviser to a detailed series of
questions that included, among other things, information about the Adviser’s
decision-making process, details about the Cayman Subsidiary, and information
about the services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board also considered the
Adviser’s operational capabilities and resources and its experience in managing
investment portfolios. In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the
services provided by the Adviser, the Board also took into account its
knowledge, acquired through discussions and reports at prior meetings and in
between meetings, of the Adviser’s management and the quality of the performance
of the Adviser’s duties, as well as the Board’s experience with the Adviser as
the investment adviser to other series of the Trust. The Board concluded that,
within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied with the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the Cayman Subsidiary by
the Adviser.
Performance.
Because the Cayman Subsidiary had not yet
commenced operations, the Board noted that there were no historical performance
records to consider. The Board was presented with information about the Cayman
Subsidiary’s investments. The Board noted that neither the Adviser nor the
Sub-Adviser currently manage a comparable exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), mutual
fund, or managed account with a performance track record for comparison. The
Board considered the presentation by the Adviser and the experience of its
personnel and determined that the Adviser provided sufficient basis to permit
the Board in its business judgment to conclude that the Adviser had the overall
capability to perform its duties with respect to the Cayman Subsidiary under the
Investment Management Agreement, and that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser were
expected to obtain an acceptable level of investment returns for the Fund’s
shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. Regarding the costs of the
services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered that the Adviser
has a unitary fee arrangement with the Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser
receives a management fee from the Fund and pays all Fund operating expenses,
with certain exceptions, and including the sub-advisory fees. The Board further
considered that the Cayman Subsidiary will not be assessed a management fee and
will be included in the same fee arrangement as the Fund. The Board noted that
the Cayman Subsidiary’s expenses will be paid by the Adviser pursuant to the
unitary fee arrangement with the Fund.
Cost
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
the Fund advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability, of
any, projected by the Adviser. The Board took into consideration that the
advisory fee for the Fund was a “unitary fee,” meaning the Fund would pay no
expenses other than the advisory fee, interest charges on any borrowings,
dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, 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, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and, to the
extent it is implemented, fees pursuant to a Distribution and/or Shareholder
Servicing (12b-1) Plan. The Board noted that the Adviser would be responsible
for compensating the Trust’s other service providers, including the Sub-Adviser,
and paying the Fund’s other expenses out of its own revenue and resources. The
Board noted that the Adviser does not expect to receive separate compensation
for managing the Cayman Subsidiary, or any direct or indirect benefits from its
relationship with the Cayman Subsidiary.
Economies
of Scale. The Board noted that the Adviser
might realize economies of scale in managing the overall Fund as assets grow in
size. The Board noted, however, that any economies would, to some degree, be
shared with the Fund’s shareholders through the Fund’s unitary fee structure. In
the event there were to be significant asset growth in the Fund, the Board
determined to reassess whether the advisory fee appropriately took into account
any economies of scale that had been realized as a result of that growth. The
Board noted that there would be no additional fee charged with respect to the
Cayman Subsidiary and that the Adviser would bear the expenses of the Caymen
Subsidiary.

Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Cayman
Subsidiary. The Board noted that the Adviser does not expect to receive any
direct or indirect “fall-out” benefits from its relationship with the Cayman
Subsidiary.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Investment Management Agreement; rather, the Board based
its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement were fair and reasonable to the Cayman Subsidiary. The Board,
including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore determined that the
approval of the Investment Management Agreement for an initial term of two years
was in the best interests of the Cayman Subsidiary and the Fund.
Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with
the Sub-Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Board considered the scope of services to be
provided to the Cayman Subsidiary under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that
the Sub-Adviser would provide investment management services to the Cayman
Subsidiary. The Board noted the responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser would have
as the Cayman Subsidiary’s investment sub-adviser, including: responsibility for
the management of the securities and other assets of the Cayman Subsidiary,
subject to the supervision and oversight of the Adviser; executing placement of
orders and selection of brokers or dealers for such orders; general portfolio
compliance with relevant law; responsibility for daily monitoring of portfolio
exposures and quarterly reporting to the Board; and proxy voting with respect to
securities held by the Cayman Subsidiary.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program including its compliance and regulatory history, and
information from the Trust’s CCO regarding his review of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program. The Board further noted that they had received and reviewed
materials with regard to the Sub-Adviser, including its responses to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Sub-Adviser’s decision-making process, and information about the services to be
provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the Sub-Adviser’s
resources and capacity with respect to portfolio management, compliance, and
operations. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional
experience and qualifications of the senior management and key professional
personnel of the Sub-Adviser, including those individuals responsible for
portfolio management.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser, the Board also took into account its knowledge, acquired through
discussions and reports at prior meetings and in between meetings, of the
Sub-Adviser’s management and the quality of the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s
duties. The Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, it
was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be
provided to the Cayman Subsidiary by the Sub-Adviser.
Performance.
Because the Cayman Subsidiary had not yet
commenced operations, the Board noted that there was no historical performance
records to consider. The Board was presented with information about the Cayman
Subsidiary’s investment strategies. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser
currently did not manage a comparable ETF, mutual fund, or managed account with
a performance track record for comparison. The Board considered the
presentations by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the experience of the
Sub-Adviser’s personnel and determined that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided
sufficient basis to permit the Board in its business judgment to conclude that
the Sub-Adviser had the overall capability to perform its duties with respect to
the Cayman Subsidiary under the Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level of investment returns
for the Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. The Board also reviewed
information regarding the Cayman Subsidiary’s proposed sub-advisory fees and
took into account that the Sub-Adviser would be paid the fees specified in the
Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund and would receive no additional compensation
with respect to the Cayman Subsidiary. Based on its review, the Board concluded
that the sub-advisory fee appeared to be competitive and is otherwise reasonable
in light of the information provided.

Agreements(Continued)
Costs
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability of the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered that any fees to be paid to the
Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser from the fee the Adviser received from
the Fund and noted that the fee reflected an arm’s-length negotiation between
the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took into account the amount of
the unitary fee to be retained by the Adviser from the Fund and the services to
be provided with respect to the Cayman Subsidiary by the Adviser and further
determined that the sub-advisory fee reflected an appropriate allocation of the
advisory fee paid to the Adviser given the work to be performed by each firm.
The Board also evaluated the compensation and benefits expected to be received
by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Cayman Subsidiary, if any,
noting that the Sub-Adviser would not receive an additional fee with respect to
the Cayman Subsidiary. The Board noted that, because the Sub-Adviser’s advisory
fee would be paid by the Adviser out of its unitary fee from the Fund, the
Sub-Adviser’s profitability is not a material consideration.
Economies
of Scale. The Board noted that it currently
appeared that the Sub-Adviser might realize economies of scale in managing the
Cayman Subsidiary as assets grow in size. The Board determined that it would
monitor fees as the Cayman Subsidiary’s assets grow to determine whether
economies of scale were being effectively shared with the Cayman Subsidiary and
the Fund.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect
benefits that could be realized by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with
the Cayman Subsidiary. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser does not expect to
receive any direct or indirect “fall-out” benefits from its relationship with
the Cayman Subsidiary.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement; rather, the Board based its
determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of that Sub-Advisory Agreement,
including any compensation payable thereunder, were fair and reasonable to the
Cayman Subsidiary. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
therefore determined that the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an
initial two-year term was in the best interests of the Cayman Subsidiary and the
Fund.

Consideration and Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory
Agreements
Roundhill
Magnificent Seven Covered Call ETF
At
a regularly scheduled meeting held on February 25, 2025 (the “Meeting”),
the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Roundhill ETF Trust (the “Trust”),
including those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent
Trustees”), considered the approval of an investment management agreement (the
“Investment Management Agreement”) between Roundhill Financial Inc.
(the “Adviser”) and the Trust, with respect to Roundhill Magnificent Seven
Covered Call ETF (the “New Fund,”), and a sub-advisory agreement (the
“Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Investment Management Agreement,
the “Agreements”) between the Adviser and Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the
“Sub-Adviser”), with respect to the New Fund.
Pursuant
to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Agreements must be approved with respect
to the New Fund by: (i) the vote of the shareholders of the New Fund; and (ii)
the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast at a meeting called for
the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with its consideration of
such approval, the Board must request and evaluate, and the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser are required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably
necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board in advance of the
Meeting, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided the Board
with an overview, during the Meeting, of the New Fund’s proposed strategy, the
services proposed to be provided to the New Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser,
and additional information about the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s advisory
business, including information on investment personnel, financial resources,
experience, investment processes, risk management processes and liquidity
management, and compliance programs. The representatives from the Adviser
discussed the rationale for launching the New Fund, the New Fund’s proposed
fees, and the operational aspects of the New Fund. The Board considered the
Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s presentation and the materials it received in
advance of the Meeting, including a memorandum from legal counsel to the
Independent Trustees regarding the responsibilities of the Trustees in
considering the approval of the Agreements. The Board also noted that the
evaluation process with respect to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser is an ongoing one
and that in this regard, the Board took into account discussions with management
and information provided to the Board at prior meetings and between meetings
with respect to the services to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser
with respect to the New Fund. The Board deliberated on the approval of the
Agreements with respect to the New Fund in light of this information.
Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of, and request additional materials from, the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session with their
independent counsel to further discuss the proposed Agreements and the
Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto. The information
received and considered by the Board in connection with the Board’s
determination to approve the Agreements was both written and oral.
At
the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser to the New Fund; (ii) the New Fund’s anticipated expenses and
performance; (iii) the cost of the services to be provided and anticipated
profits to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and their respective
affiliates from their relationship with the Trust and the New Fund;
(iv) comparative fee and expense data for the New Fund and other investment
companies with similar investment objectives; (v) the extent to which economies
of scale would be realized as the New Fund grows and whether the overall
advisory fee for the New Fund would enable investors to share in the benefits of
economies of scale; (vi) any benefits to be derived by the Adviser or
Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the Trust and the New Fund, including any
fall-out benefits enjoyed by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser; and (vii) other factors
the Board deemed relevant. The factors considered and the deliberations by the
Board in connection with the approval of the Agreements are set forth below but
are not exhaustive of all matters that were discussed by the Board. The Board
also took into account the recommendation of the Adviser and considered other
factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy and
the securities markets). In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any
single piece of information that was paramount or controlling and the individual
Trustees may have attributed different weights to various factors. The Board
considered approval of the Agreements with respect to the New Fund separately.

Approval of the Advisory Agreement with the
Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided.
The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the
Investment Management Agreement, noting that the Adviser will be providing,
among other things, a continuous investment program for the New Fund,
determining the assets to be purchased, retained or sold by the New Fund, the
provision of related services such as portfolio management compliance services,
and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The
Trustees reviewed the extensive responsibilities that the Adviser will have as
investment adviser to the New Fund, including the oversight of the activities
and operations of the Sub-Adviser and other service providers, oversight of
general fund compliance with federal and state laws, and the implementation of
Board directives as they relate to the New Fund. In considering the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board
considered the quality of the Adviser’s compliance program, including its
compliance and regulatory history and information from the Trust’s Chief
Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding his review of the Adviser’s compliance
program. The Board noted that it had received a copy of the Adviser’s
Form ADV, as well as the responses of the Adviser to a detailed series of
questions that included, among other things, information about the Adviser’s
decision-making process, details about the New Fund, and information about the
services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board also considered the Adviser’s
operational capabilities and resources and its experience in managing investment
portfolios. In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services
provided by the Adviser, the Board also took into account its knowledge,
acquired through discussions and reports at prior meetings and in between
meetings, of the Adviser’s management and the quality of the performance of the
Adviser’s duties, as well as the Board’s experience with the Adviser as the
investment adviser to other series of the Trust . The Board concluded that,
within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied with the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the New Fund by the
Adviser.
Performance.
Because the New Fund had not yet commenced
operations, there were no historical performance records to consider. The Board
was presented with information about the New Fund’s investment strategy. The
Board noted that neither the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser currently manage a
comparable exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), mutual fund, or managed account with a
performance track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentation
by the Adviser and the experience of its personnel and determined that the
Adviser provided sufficient basis to permit the Board in its business judgment
to conclude that the Adviser had the overall capability to perform its duties
with respect to the New Fund under the Investment Management Agreement, and that
the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level of
investment returns for the New Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. Regarding the costs of the
services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered, among other
expense data, a comparison of the New Fund’s proposed unitary fee compared to
the advisory fee and expenses of its most direct competitors as identified by
the Adviser (the “Selected Peer Group”). The Board noted that while it found the
comparative data provided by the generally useful, it recognized its
limitations, including potential differences in the investment strategies of the
New Fund relative to the strategies of the funds in the Selected Peer Group, as
well as the level, quality and nature of the services to be provided by the
Adviser with respect to the New Fund. The Board noted that the proposed unitary
fee with respect to the New Fund was within the range of advisory fees and
expense ratios for the Selected Peer Group with respect to the New Fund. The
Board also took into account management’s discussion of the New Fund’s proposed
unitary fee and the differences in the New Fund’s strategy from the Selected
Peer Group. In considering the level of the advisory and sub-advisory fee with
respect to the New Fund, the Board also noted that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser
do not manage any other accounts with a similar investment strategy. Based on
its review, the Board concluded that the New Fund’s unitary fee appeared to be
competitive and is otherwise reasonable in light of the information
provided.
Cost
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser, including the methodology underlying such projection.
The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee for the New Fund was a
“unitary fee,” meaning the New Fund would pay no expenses other than the
advisory fee, interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses
on securities sold short, 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, accrued deferred tax
liability, extraordinary expenses, and, to the extent it is implemented, fees
pursuant to a Distribution and/or Shareholder Servicing (12b-1) Plan. The Board
noted that the

Adviser
would be responsible for compensating the Trust’s other service providers,
including the Sub-Adviser, and paying the New Fund’s other expenses out of its
own revenue and resources. The Board also evaluated the compensation and
benefits expected to be received by the Adviser from its relationship with the
New Fund, taking into account the Adviser’s anticipated profitability analysis
with respect to the New Fund and the financial resources the Adviser had
committed and proposed to commit to its business. The Board took into account
that the New Fund had not yet commenced operations and consequently, the future
size of the New Fund and the Adviser’s future profitability were generally
unpredictable.
Economies
of Scale. The Board noted that the Adviser
might realize economies of scale in managing the New Fund as assets grow in
size. The Board noted, however, that any economies would, to some degree, be
shared with the New Fund’s shareholders through the New Fund’s unitary fee
structure. In the event there were to be significant asset growth in the New
Fund, the Board determined to reassess whether the advisory fee appropriately
took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as a result of
that growth.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the New Fund.
The Board considered the Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with respect to
portfolio transactions and considered that the Adviser does not intend to
utilize soft dollars with respect to the New Fund. The Board further considered
that Adviser does not use any affiliated brokers to execute portfolio
transactions. The Board noted there were currently no distribution or service
fees to be paid by the New Fund to the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board
considered that the Adviser may receive some form of reputational benefits from
services rendered to the New Fund, but that such benefits are immaterial and
cannot otherwise be quantified. The Board concluded that the additional benefits
the Adviser would receive from its relationship with the New Fund are reasonable
and appropriate.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Investment Management Agreement; rather, the Board based
its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement, including the compensation payable thereunder, were fair and
reasonable with respect to the New Fund. The Board, including a majority of the
Independent Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the Investment
Management Agreement for an initial term of two years was in the best interests
of the New Fund and its shareholders.
Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with
the Sub-Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Board considered the scope of services to be
provided to the New Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that the
Sub-Adviser would provide investment management services to the New Fund. The
Board noted the responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser would have as the New
Fund’s investment sub-adviser, including: responsibility for the management of
the securities and other assets of the New Fund, subject to the supervision and
oversight of the Adviser; executing placement of orders and selection of brokers
or dealers for such orders; general portfolio compliance with relevant law;
responsibility for daily monitoring of portfolio exposures and quarterly
reporting to the Board and proxy voting with respect to securities held by the
New Fund.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program, including its compliance and regulatory history, and
information from the Trust’s CCO regarding his review of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program. The Board further noted that they had received and reviewed
materials with regard to the Sub-Adviser, including its responses to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Sub-Adviser’s decision-making process, details about the New Fund, and
information about the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board also
considered the Sub-Adviser’s resources and capacity with respect to portfolio
management, compliance, and operations. The Board also considered, among other
things, the professional experience and qualifications of the senior management
and key professional personnel of the Sub-Adviser, including those individuals
responsible for portfolio management.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser, the Board also took into account its knowledge, acquired through
discussions and reports at prior meetings and in between meetings, of the
Sub-Adviser’s management and the quality of the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s
duties, as well as the Board’s

experience
with the Sub-Adviser as the investment sub-adviser to other series of the Trust.
The Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, it was
satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to
the New Fund by the Sub-Adviser.
Performance.
Because the New Fund had not yet commenced
operations, the Board noted that there was no historical performance records to
consider. The Board was presented with information about the New Fund’s
investment strategies. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser currently did not
manage a comparable ETF, mutual fund, or managed account with a performance
track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentations by the
Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the experience of the Sub-Adviser’s personnel
and determined that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided sufficient basis to
permit the Board in its business judgment to conclude that the Sub-Adviser had
the overall capability to perform its duties with respect to the New Fund under
the Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were expected to
obtain an acceptable level of investment returns for the New Fund’s
shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. The Board also reviewed
information regarding the New Fund’s proposed sub-advisory fee, including
advisory fees and total expense ratios of those funds that might be considered
peers of the New Fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the
sub-advisory fee appeared to be competitive and a product of arm’s length
negotiation and is otherwise reasonable in light of the information
provided.
Costs
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including the methodology underlying
such projection. The Board considered that the fees to be paid to the
Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser from the fee the Adviser received from
the New Fund and noted that the fee reflected an arm’s-length negotiation
between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took into account the
amount of the unitary fee to be retained by the Adviser and the services to be
provided with respect to the New Fund by the Adviser and further determined that
the sub-advisory fee reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory fee
paid to the Adviser given the work to be performed by each firm. The Board also
evaluated the compensation and benefits expected to be received by the
Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the New Fund, taking into account an
analysis of the Sub-Adviser’s estimated profitability, if any, with respect to
the New Fund. The Board noted that, because the Sub-Adviser’s advisory fee would
be paid by the Adviser out of its unitary fee, the Sub-Adviser’s profitability
is not a material consideration.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that it
currently appeared that the Sub-Adviser might realize economies of scale in
managing the New Fund as assets grow in size. The Board considered that the fee
to be charged by the sub-adviser for the services provided to the New Fund
reflected breakpoints that referenced combined assets of the New Fund and of
other series of the Trust managed by the Sub-Adviser. The Board determined that
it would monitor fees as the New Fund’s assets grow to determine whether
economies of scale were being effectively shared with the New Fund and its
shareholders.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the New
Fund. The Board considered the Sub-Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with
respect to portfolio transactions and considered that the Sub-Adviser does not
intend to utilize soft dollars with respect to the New Fund. The Board
considered that the Sub-Adviser may receive some form of reputational benefit
from services rendered to the New Fund, but that such benefits are immaterial
and cannot otherwise be quantified. The Board concluded that the additional
benefits the Sub-Adviser would receive from its relationship with the New Fund
are reasonable and appropriate.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement; rather, the Board based its
determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of that Sub-Advisory Agreement,
including the compensation payable thereunder, was fair and reasonable to the
New Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore
determined that the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial
two-year term was in the best interests of the New Fund and its shareholders.

VIX Futures Points ETF and Roundhill 2X Short VIX Futures Points ETF (each, a
“New Fund,” and collectively, the “New Funds”), and a sub-advisory agreement
(the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Investment Management
Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Adviser and Exchange Traded Concepts,
LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to each of the New Funds.
Pursuant
to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Agreements must be approved with respect
to each of the New Funds by: (i) the vote of the Board or shareholders of a New
Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with
its consideration of such approval, the Board must request and evaluate,
and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser are required to furnish, such information as may
be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board in advance of the
Meeting, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided the Board
with an overview, during the Meeting, of each New Fund’s proposed strategy, the
services proposed to be provided to the New Funds by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser, and additional information about the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s
advisory business, including information on investment personnel, financial
resources, experience, investment processes, risk management processes and
liquidity management, and compliance programs. The representatives from the
Adviser discussed the rationale for launching each New Fund, each New Fund’s
proposed fees, and the operational aspects of each New Fund. The Board
considered the Adviser’s and

Sub-Adviser’s
presentation and the materials it received in advance of the Meeting, including
memoranda from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees regarding the
responsibilities of the Trustees in considering the approval of the Agreements.
The Board also noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser is an ongoing one and that in this regard, the Board took into
account discussions with management and information provided to the Board at
prior meetings and between meetings with respect to the services to be provided
by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including information provided in connection
with the consideration of advisory and sub-advisory agreements for other funds
in the Trust. The Board deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light
of this information. Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of, and request additional materials from, the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in executive sessions
with their independent counsel to further discuss the proposed Agreements and
the Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto. The information
received and considered by the Board in connection with the Board’s
determination to approve the Agreements was both written and oral. The Board
also noted that the evaluation process was performed on a Fund-by-Fund basis.
At
the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser to the New Funds; (ii) each New Fund’s anticipated expenses and
performance; (iii) the cost of the services to be provided and anticipated
profits to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and their respective
affiliates from their relationship with the Trust and the New Funds;
(iv) comparative fee and expense data for the New Funds and other
investment companies with similar investment objectives; (v) the extent to which
economies of scale would be realized as the New Funds grow and whether the
overall advisory fee for the New Funds would enable investors to share in the
benefits of economies of scale; (vi) any benefits to be derived by the
Adviser or Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the Trust and the New Funds,
including any fall-out benefits enjoyed by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser; and (vii)
other factors the Board deemed relevant. The factors considered and the
deliberations by the Board in connection with the approval of the Agreements are
set forth below but are not exhaustive of all matters that were discussed by the
Board. The Board also took into account the recommendation of the Adviser and
considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally
in the economy and the securities markets). In its deliberations, the Board did
not identify any single piece of information that was paramount or controlling
and the individual Trustees may have attributed different weights to various
factors. The Board considered approval of the Agreements with respect to each
Fund separately.
Approval of the Advisory Agreement with the
Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided.
The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the
Investment Management Agreement with respect to each Fund, noting that the
Adviser will be providing, among other things, a continuous investment
program for the New Funds, determining the assets to be purchased, retained or
sold by each New Fund, the provision of related services such as portfolio
management compliance services, and the preparation and filing of certain
reports on behalf of the Trust. The Trustees reviewed the extensive
responsibilities that the Adviser will have as investment adviser to the New
Funds, including the oversight of the activities and operations of the
Sub-Adviser and other service providers, oversight of general fund compliance
with federal and state laws, and the implementation of Board directives as they
relate to the New Funds. In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the
services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the
Adviser’s compliance program, including its compliance and regulatory history
and information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding his
review of the Adviser’s compliance program. The Board noted that it had received
a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV, as well as the responses of the Adviser
to a detailed series of questions that included, among other things, information
about the Adviser’s decision-making process, details about the New Funds, and
information about the services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board also
considered the Adviser’s operational capabilities and resources and its
experience in managing investment portfolios. In considering the nature, extent,
and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board also took into
account its knowledge, acquired through discussions and reports at prior
meetings and in between meetings, of the Adviser’s management and the quality of
the performance of the Adviser’s duties, as well as the Board’s experience with
the Adviser as the investment adviser to other series of the Trust. The Board
concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied
with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each New
Fund by the Adviser.

Agreements(Continued)
Performance.
Because the New Funds had not yet commenced
operations, there were no historical performance records to consider. The Board
was presented with information about each New Fund’s investment strategies. The
Board noted that neither the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser currently manage a
comparable exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), mutual fund, or managed account with a
performance track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentation
by the Adviser and the experience of its personnel and determined that the
Adviser provided sufficient basis to permit the Board in its business judgment
to conclude that the Adviser had the overall capability to perform its duties
with respect to the New Funds under the Investment Management Agreement, and
that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level
of investment returns for each New Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. Regarding the costs of the
services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered, among other
expense data, a comparison of each New Fund’s proposed unitary fee compared to
the advisory fee and expenses of its most direct competitors as identified by
the Adviser (the “Selected Peer Group”). The Board noted that while it found the
comparative data provided by the generally useful, it recognized its
limitations, including potential differences in the investment strategies of the
New Funds relative to the strategies of the funds in the Selected Peer Group, as
well as the level, quality and nature of the services to be provided by the
Adviser with respect to the New Funds. The Board noted that the proposed unitary
fee was within the range of advisory fees and expense ratios for the Selected
Peer Group. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of each New
Fund’s proposed unitary fee and the differences in each New Fund’s strategy from
the applicable Selected Peer Group. In considering the level of the advisory and
sub-advisory fee with respect to the New Funds, the Board also noted that the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser do not manage any other accounts with a similar
investment strategy, except for the WeeklyPay suite. The Board considered that
the proposed unitary management fee and the sub-advisory fee schedule for the
WeeklyPay ETFs was the same as the fees for the existing WeeklyPay ETFs in the
Trust. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the unitary fee with
respect to each New Fund appeared to be competitive and is otherwise reasonable
in light of the information provided.
Cost
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser, including the methodology underlying such projection.
The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee for each New Fund was a
“unitary fee,” meaning the New Fund would pay no expenses other than the
advisory fee, interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses
on securities sold short, 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, accrued deferred tax
liability, extraordinary expenses, and, to the extent it is implemented, fees
pursuant to a Distribution and/or Shareholder Servicing (12b-1) Plan. The Board
noted that the Adviser would be responsible for compensating the Trust’s other
service providers, including the Sub-Adviser, and paying each New Fund’s other
expenses out of its own revenue and resources. The Board also evaluated the
compensation and benefits expected to be received by the Adviser from its
relationship with the New Funds, taking into account the Adviser’s anticipated
profitability analysis with respect to the New Funds and the financial resources
the Adviser had committed and proposed to commit to its business. The Board took
into account that the New Funds had not yet commenced operations and
consequently, the future size of the New Funds and the Adviser’s future
profitability were generally unpredictable.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that the
Adviser might realize economies of scale in managing the New Funds as assets
grow in size. The Board noted, however, that any economies would, to some
degree, be shared with each New Fund’s shareholders through each New Fund’s
unitary fee structure. In the event there were to be significant asset growth in
a New Fund, the Board determined to reassess whether the advisory fee
appropriately took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as
a result of that growth.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the New Funds.
The Board considered the Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with respect to
portfolio transactions and considered that the Adviser does not intend to
utilize soft dollars with respect to the New Funds. The Board further considered
that Adviser does not use any affiliated brokers to execute portfolio
transactions. The Board noted there were currently no distribution or service
fees to be paid by the New Funds to the Adviser or its affiliates.
The Board considered that the Adviser may receive some form of reputational
benefits from services rendered to the
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Board
Consideration and Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory
Agreements(Continued)
New
Funds, but that such benefits are immaterial and cannot otherwise be quantified.
The Board concluded that the additional benefits the Adviser would receive from
its relationship with each of the New Funds are reasonable and appropriate.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Investment Management Agreement; rather, the Board based
its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement, including the compensation payable thereunder, were fair and
reasonable to each New Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the Investment Management
Agreement for an initial term of two years was in the best interests of each New
Fund and its shareholders.
Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with
the Sub-Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Board considered the scope of services to be
provided to the New Funds under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that the
Sub-Adviser would provide investment management services to each New Fund. The
Board noted the responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser would have as each New
Fund’s investment sub-adviser, including: responsibility for the management of
the securities and other assets of each New Fund, subject to the supervision and
oversight of the Adviser; executing placement of orders and selection of brokers
or dealers for such orders; general portfolio compliance with relevant law;
responsibility for daily monitoring of portfolio exposures and quarterly
reporting to the Board; and proxy voting with respect to securities held by each
New Fund.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program, including its compliance and regulatory history, and
information from the Trust’s CCO regarding his review of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program. The Board further noted that they had received and reviewed
materials with regard to the Sub-Adviser, including its responses to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Sub-Adviser’s decision-making process, details about the New Funds, and
information about the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board also
considered the Sub-Adviser’s resources and capacity with respect to portfolio
management, compliance, and operations. The Board also considered, among other
things, the professional experience and qualifications of the senior management
and key professional personnel of the Sub-Adviser, including those individuals
responsible for portfolio management.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser with respect to each Fund, the Board also took into account its
knowledge, acquired through discussions and reports at a prior meeting and in
between meetings, of the Sub-Adviser’s management and the quality of the
performance of the Sub-Adviser’s duties, as well as the Board’s experience with
the Sub-Adviser as the investment sub-adviser to other series of the Trust. The
Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied
with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each
New Fund by the Sub-Adviser.
Performance.
Because the New Funds had not yet commenced
operations, the Board noted that there was no historical performance records to
consider. The Board was presented with information about each New Fund’s
investment strategies. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser currently did not
manage a comparable ETF, mutual fund, or managed account with a performance
track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentations by the
Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the experience of the Sub-Adviser’s personnel
and determined that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided sufficient basis to
permit the Board in its business judgment to conclude that the Sub-Adviser had
the overall capability to perform its duties with respect to the New Funds under
the Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were expected to
obtain an acceptable level of investment returns for each New Fund’s
shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. The Board also reviewed
information regarding each New Fund’s proposed sub-advisory fee, including
advisory fees and total expense ratios of those funds that might be considered
peers of the New Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the
sub-advisory fee appeared to be competitive and a product of arm’s length
negotiation, and is otherwise reasonable in light of the information
provided.

Costs
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including the methodology underlying
such projection. The Board considered that the fees to be paid to the
Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser from the fee the Adviser received from
each New Fund and noted that the fee reflected an arm’s-length negotiation
between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took into account the
amount of the unitary fee to be retained by the Adviser and the services to be
provided with respect to the New Funds by the Adviser and further determined
that the sub-advisory fee reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory
fee paid to the Adviser given the work to be performed by each firm. The Board
also evaluated the compensation and benefits expected to be received by the
Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the New Funds, taking into account an
analysis of the Sub-Adviser’s estimated profitability, if any, with respect to
each New Fund. The Board noted that, because the Sub-Adviser’s advisory fee
would be paid by the Adviser out of its unitary fee, the Sub-Adviser’s
profitability is not a material consideration.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that it
currently appeared that the Sub-Adviser might realize economies of scale in
managing the New Funds as assets grow in size. The Board determined that it
would monitor fees as each New Fund’s assets grow to determine whether economies
of scale were being effectively shared with the New Fund and its shareholders.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the New
Funds. The Board considered Sub-Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with respect
to portfolio transactions and considered that the Sub-Adviser does not intend to
utilize soft dollars with respect to the New Funds. The Board considered that
the Sub-Adviser may receive some form of reputational benefit from services
rendered to the New Funds, but that such benefits are immaterial and cannot
otherwise be quantified. The Board concluded that the additional benefits the
Sub-Adviser would receive from its relationship with each of the New Funds are
reasonable and appropriate.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each New Fund;
rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix of information
available to it. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality,
including those discussed above and other factors, the Board, including
separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of
that Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the compensation payable thereunder, was
fair and reasonable to each of the New Funds. The Board, including a majority of
the Independent Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the
Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term was in the best interests of
each New Funds and its shareholders.

At
a regularly scheduled meeting held on May 15, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the
Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Roundhill ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including
those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”),
considered the approval of investment management agreements (the “Investment
Management Agreements”) between Roundhill Financial Inc. (the “Adviser”) and
each of the Roundhill Long VIX Futures Points ETF Cayman Ltd., Roundhill 2X Long
VIX Futures Points ETF Cayman Ltd., Roundhill Short VIX Futures Points ETF
Cayman Ltd. And Roundhill 2X Short VIX Futures Points ETF Cayman Ltd. (each, a
“Cayman Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Cayman Subsidiaries”), on behalf of
the Roundhill Long VIX Futures Points ETF, Roundhill 2X Long, VIX Futures Points
ETF, Roundhill Short VIX Futures Points ETF and Roundhill 2X Short VIX Futures
Points ETF, resepctivelly (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and
sub-advisory agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, together with the
Investment Management Agreements, the “Agreements”) between the Adviser and
Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to each Cayman
Subsidiary.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board, representatives from
the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided the Board with an overview, during the
Meeting, of each Cayman Subsidiary’s proposed investments, the services proposed
to be provided to each Cayman Subsidiary by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and
additional information about the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s advisory business,
including information on investment personnel, financial resources, experience,
investment processes, risk management processes and liquidity management, and
compliance program. The representatives from the Adviser discussed the rationale
for establishing each Cayman Subsidiary and the operational aspects of each
Cayman Subsidiary. They indicated that there would be no management fee charged
with respect to the Cayman Subsidiaries. The Board considered the Adviser’s and
Sub-Adviser’s presentation and the materials it received, including a memorandum
from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees regarding the responsibilities of
the Trustees in considering approval of investment advisory agreements. The
Board also noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser is an ongoing one and that in this regard, the Board took into
account discussions with management and information provided to the Board at
prior meetings and between meetings with respect to the services to be provided
by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. In considering the Agreements, the Board
took into account the information and the factors and conclusions that it had
considered in connection with approval of the Funds’ management and sub-advisory
agreements at the Meeting, as applicable. Throughout the process, the Trustees
were afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and request additional
materials from, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met
in executive session with their independent counsel to further discuss the
proposed Agreements and the Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating
thereto. The information received and considered by the Board in connection with
the Board’s determination to approve the Agreements was both written and
oral.
At
the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser to each Cayman Subsidiary; (ii) each Cayman Subsidiary’s anticipated
expenses and performance; (iii) the cost of the services to be provided and
anticipated profits, if any, to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and
their respective affiliates from the relationship with the Cayman Subsidiaries;
(iv) comparative fee and expense data for each Cayman Subsidiary and other
investment companies with similar investment objectives, if any; (v) the extent
to which any economies of scale would be realized in connection with the
operation of each Cayman Subsidiary; (vi) any benefits to be derived by the
Adviser or Sub-Adviser from the relationship with each Cayman Subsidiary,
including any fall-out benefits enjoyed by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser; and (vii)
other factors the Board deemed relevant. The factors considered and the
determinations made by the Board in connection with the approval of the
Agreements are set forth below but are not exhaustive of all matters that were
discussed by the Board. The Board also took into account the recommendation of
the Adviser and considered other factors (including conditions and trends
prevailing generally in the economy and the securities markets). In its
deliberations, the Board did not identify any single piece of information that
was paramount or controlling and the individual Trustees may have attributed
different weights to various factors.

Nature,

The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under each
Investment Management Agreement, noting that the Adviser will be providing,
among other things, a continuous investment program for each Cayman Subsidiary,
determining the assets to be purchased, retained or sold by the Cayman
Subsidiary, the provision of related services such as portfolio management
compliance services, and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf
of the Trust and the Cayman Subsidiaries. The Trustees reviewed the extensive
responsibilities that the Adviser will have as investment adviser to each Cayman
Subsidiary, including the oversight of the activities and operations of the
Sub-Adviser and other service providers, oversight of general fund compliance
with federal and state laws, and the implementation of Board directives as they
relate to the Cayman Subsidiary. In considering the nature, extent, and quality
of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered the quality
of the Adviser’s compliance program, including its compliance and regulatory
history and information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)
regarding his review of the Adviser’s compliance program. The Board noted that
it had received a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV, as well as the responses
of the Adviser to a detailed series of questions that included, among other
things, information about the Adviser’s decision-making process, details about
each Cayman Subsidiary, and information about the services to be provided by the
Adviser. The Board also considered the Adviser’s operational capabilities and
resources and its experience in managing investment portfolios. In considering
the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the
Board also took into account its knowledge, acquired through discussions and
reports at prior meetings and in between meetings, of the Adviser’s management
and the quality of the performance of the Adviser’s duties, as well as the
Board’s experience with the Adviser as the investment adviser to other series of
the Trust. The Board concluded that, within the context of its full
deliberations, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the
services to be provided to each Cayman Subsidiary by the Adviser.
Performance.
Because the Cayman Subsidiaries had not yet
commenced operations, the Board noted that there were no historical performance
records to consider. The Board was presented with information about each Cayman
Subsidiary’s investments. The Board noted that neither the Adviser nor the
Sub-Adviser currently manage a comparable exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), mutual
fund, or managed account with a performance track record for comparison. The
Board considered the presentation by the Adviser and the experience of its
personnel and determined that the Adviser provided sufficient basis to permit
the Board in its business judgment to conclude that the Adviser had the overall
capability to perform its duties with respect to each Cayman Subsidiary under
the respective Investment Management Agreement, and that the Adviser and the
Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level of investment returns
for each Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. Regarding the costs of the
services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered that the Adviser
has a unitary fee arrangement with each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser
receives a management fee from the Fund and pays all Fund operating expenses,
with certain exceptions, and including the sub-advisory fees. The Board further
considered that the Cayman Subsidiaries will not be assessed a management fee
and will be included in the same fee arrangement as the respective Fund. The
Board noted that each Cayman Subsidiary’s expenses will be paid by the Adviser
pursuant to the unitary fee arrangement with the respective Fund.
Cost
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
each Fund advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability, of
any, projected by the Adviser. The Board took into consideration that the
advisory fee for each Fund was a “unitary fee,” meaning the Fund would pay no
expenses other than the advisory fee, interest charges on any borrowings,
dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, 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, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and, to the
extent it is implemented, fees pursuant to a Distribution and/or Shareholder
Servicing (12b-1) Plan. The Board noted that the Adviser would be responsible
for compensating the Trust’s other service providers, including the Sub-Adviser,
and paying each Fund’s other expenses out of its own revenue and resources. The
Board noted that the Adviser does not expect to receive separate compensation
for managing the Cayman Subsidiaries, or any direct or indirect benefits from
its relationship with the Cayman Subsidiaries.
Economies
of Scale. The Board noted that the Adviser
might realize economies of scale in managing each overall Fund as assets grow in
size. The Board noted, however, that any economies would, to some degree, be
shared with each

Fund’s
shareholders through the Fund’s unitary fee structure. In the event there were
to be significant asset growth in a Fund, the Board determined to reassess
whether the advisory fee appropriately took into account any economies of scale
that had been realized as a result of that growth. The Board noted that there
would be no additional fee charged with respect to the Cayman Subsidiaries and
that the Adviser would bear the expenses of each Caymen Subsidiary.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Cayman
Subsidiary. The Board noted that the Adviser does not expect to receive any
direct or indirect “fall-out” benefits from its relationship with the Cayman
Subsidiaries.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve each Investment Management Agreement; rather, the Board
based its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based
on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those
discussed above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of
the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of each Investment
Management Agreement were fair and reasonable to each Cayman Subsidiary. The
Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore determined
that the approval of each Investment Management Agreement for an initial term of
two years was in the best interests of respective Cayman Subsidiary and
respective Fund.
Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with
the Sub-Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Board considered the scope of services to be
provided to each Cayman Subsidiary under the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement,
noting that the Sub-Adviser would provide investment management services to each
Cayman Subsidiary. The Board noted the responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser
would have as each Cayman Subsidiary’s investment sub-adviser, including:
responsibility for the management of the securities and other assets of the
Cayman Subsidiary, subject to the supervision and oversight of the Adviser;
executing placement of orders and selection of brokers or dealers for such
orders; general portfolio compliance with relevant law; responsibility for daily
monitoring of portfolio exposures and quarterly reporting to the Board; and
proxy voting with respect to securities held by the Cayman Subsidiary.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program including its compliance and regulatory history, and
information from the Trust’s CCO regarding his review of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program. The Board further noted that they had received and reviewed
materials with regard to the Sub-Adviser, including its responses to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Sub-Adviser’s decision-making process, and information about the services to be
provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the Sub-Adviser’s
resources and capacity with respect to portfolio management, compliance, and
operations. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional
experience and qualifications of the senior management and key professional
personnel of the Sub-Adviser, including those individuals responsible for
portfolio management.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser, the Board also took into account its knowledge, acquired through
discussions and reports at prior meetings and in between meetings, of the
Sub-Adviser’s management and the quality of the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s
duties. The Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, it
was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be
provided to each Cayman Subsidiary by the Sub-Adviser.
Performance.
Because the Cayman Subsidiaries had not yet
commenced operations, the Board noted that there was no historical performance
records to consider. The Board was presented with information about each Cayman
Subsidiary’s investment strategies. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser
currently did not manage a comparable ETF, mutual fund, or managed account with
a performance track record for comparison. The Board considered the
presentations by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the experience of the
Sub-Adviser’s personnel and determined that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided
sufficient basis to permit the Board in its business judgment to conclude that
the Sub-Adviser had the overall capability to perform its duties with respect to
each Cayman Subsidiary under the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement and that
the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level of
investment returns for each Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. The Board also reviewed
information regarding each Cayman Subsidiary’s proposed sub-advisory fees and
took into account that the Sub-Adviser would be paid the fees specified in the
Sub-Advisory

Agreement
for the respective Fund and would receive no additional compensation with
respect to each Cayman Subsidiary. Based on its review, the Board concluded that
the sub-advisory fee appeared to be competitive and is otherwise reasonable in
light of the information provided.
Costs
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability of the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered that any fees to be paid to the
Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser from the fee the Adviser received from
the respective Fund and noted that the fee reflected an arm’s-length negotiation
between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took into account the
amount of the unitary fee to be retained by the Adviser from the each Fund
and the services to be provided with respect to each Cayman Subsidiary by the
Adviser and further determined that the sub-advisory fee reflected an
appropriate allocation of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser given the
work to be performed by each firm. The Board also evaluated the compensation and
benefits expected to be received by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with
each Cayman Subsidiary, if any, noting that the Sub-Adviser would not
receive an additional fee with respect to the Cayman Subsidiary. The Board noted
that, because the Sub-Adviser’s advisory fee would be paid by the Adviser
out of its unitary fee from the respective Fund, the Sub-Adviser’s profitability
is not a material consideration.
Economies
of Scale. The Board noted that it currently
appeared that the Sub-Adviser might realize economies of scale in managing each
Cayman Subsidiary as assets grow in size. The Board determined that it would
monitor fees as each Cayman Subsidiary’s assets grow to determine whether
economies of scale were being effectively shared with the Cayman Subsidiary and
the respective Fund.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect
benefits that could be realized by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with
each Cayman Subsidiary. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser does not expect to
receive any direct or indirect “fall-out” benefits from its relationship with
each Cayman Subsidiary.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve each Sub-Advisory Agreement; rather, the Board based its
determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of each Sub-Advisory Agreement,
including any compensation payable thereunder, were fair and reasonable to each
Cayman Subsidiary. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
therefore determined that the approval of each Sub-Advisory Agreement for an
initial two-year term was in the best interests of each Cayman Subsidiary and
the respective Fund.

At
a regularly scheduled meeting held on November 26, 2024 (the “Meeting”),
the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Roundhill ETF Trust (the “Trust”),
including those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent
Trustees”), considered the approval of an investment management agreement (the
“Investment Management Agreement”) between Roundhill Financial Inc. (the
“Adviser”) and the Trust, with respect to each of the Roundhill AAPL WeeklyPay
ETF, Roundhill AMD WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill AMZN WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill COIN
WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill GOOGL WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill META WeeklyPay ETF,
Roundhill MSFT WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill PLTR WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill NVDA

Roundhill Daily 2X Long China Dragons ETF (each, a “New Fund,” and collectively,
the “New Funds”), and a sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”
and, together with the Investment Management Agreement, the “Agreements”)
between the Adviser, and Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) with
respect to each of the New Funds.
Pursuant
to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Agreements must be approved with respect
to each of the New Funds by: (i) the vote of the Board or shareholders of a New
Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with
its consideration of such approval, the Board must request and evaluate, and the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser are required to furnish, such information as may be
reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board in advance of the
Meeting, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided the Board
with an overview, during the Meeting, of each New Fund’s proposed strategy, the
services proposed to be provided to the New Funds by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser, and additional information about the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s
advisory business, including information on investment personnel, financial
resources, experience, investment processes, risk management processes and
liquidity management, and compliance programs. The representatives from the
Adviser discussed the rationale for launching each New Fund, each New Fund’s
proposed fees, and the operational aspects of each New Fund. The Board
considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s presentation and the materials it
received in advance of the Meeting, including memoranda from legal counsel to
the Independent Trustees regarding the responsibilities of the Trustees in
considering the approval of the Agreements. The Board also noted that the
evaluation process with respect to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser is an ongoing one
and that in this regard, the Board took into account discussions with management
and information provided to the Board at prior meetings and between meetings
with respect to the services to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser,
including information provided in connection with the consideration of advisory
and sub-advisory agreements for other funds in the Trust. . The Board
deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this information.
Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of, and request additional materials from, the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in executive sessions with their
independent counsel to further discuss the proposed Agreements and the
Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto. The information
received and considered by the Board in connection with the Board’s
determination to approve the Agreements was both written and oral. The Board
also noted that the evaluation process was performed on a Fund-by-Fund basis.
At
the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser to the New Funds; (ii) each New Fund’s anticipated expenses and
performance; (iii) the cost of the services

to
be provided and anticipated profits to be realized by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their relationship with the
Trust and the New Funds; (iv) comparative fee and expense data for the New
Funds and other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (v) the
extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Funds grow and
whether the overall advisory fee for the New Funds would enable investors to
share in the benefits of economies of scale; (vi) any benefits to be
derived by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the Trust and
the New Funds, including any fall-out benefits enjoyed by the Adviser or
Sub-Adviser; and (vii) other factors the Board deemed relevant. The factors
considered and the deliberations by the Board in connection with the approval of
the Agreements are set forth below but are not exhaustive of all matters that
were discussed by the Board. The Board also took into account the recommendation
of the Adviser and considered other factors (including conditions and trends
prevailing generally in the economy and the securities markets). In its
deliberations, the Board did not identify any single piece of information that
was paramount or controlling and the individual Trustees may have attributed
different weights to various factors. The Board considered approval of the
Agreements with respect to each Fund separately.
Approval of the Advisory Agreement with the
Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided.
The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the
Investment Management Agreement with respect to each Fund, noting that the
Adviser will be providing, among other things, a continuous investment program
for the New Funds, determining the assets to be purchased, retained or sold by
each New Fund, the provision of related services such as portfolio management
compliance services, and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf
of the Trust. The Trustees reviewed the extensive responsibilities that the
Adviser will have as investment adviser to the New Funds, including the
oversight of the activities and operations of the Sub-Adviser and other service
providers, oversight of general fund compliance with federal and state laws, and
the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the New Funds. In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided
by the Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Adviser’s compliance
program, including its compliance and regulatory history and information from
the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding his review of the
Adviser’s compliance program. The Board noted that it had received a copy of the
Adviser’s Form ADV, as well as the responses of the Adviser to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Adviser’s decision-making process, details about the New Funds, and information
about the services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board also considered the
Adviser’s operational capabilities and resources and its experience in managing
investment portfolios. In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the
services provided by the Adviser, the Board also took into account its
knowledge, acquired through discussions and reports at prior meetings and in
between meetings, of the Adviser’s management and the quality of the performance
of the Adviser’s duties, as well as the Board’s experience with the Adviser as
the investment adviser to other series of the Trust. The Board concluded that,
within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied with the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each New Fund by the
Adviser.
Performance.
Because the New Funds had not yet commenced
operations, there were no historical performance records to consider. The Board
was presented with information about each New Fund’s investment strategies. The
Board noted that neither the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser currently manage a
comparable exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), mutual fund, or managed account with a
performance track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentation
by the Adviser and the experience of its personnel and determined that the
Adviser provided sufficient basis to permit the Board in its business judgment
to conclude that the Adviser had the overall capability to perform its duties
with respect to the New Funds under the Investment Management Agreement, and
that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level
of investment returns for each New Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. Regarding the costs of the
services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered, among other
expense data, a comparison of each New Fund’s proposed unitary fee compared to
the advisory fee and expenses of its most direct competitors as identified by
the Adviser (the “Selected Peer Group”). The Board noted that while it found the
comparative data provided by the generally useful, it recognized its
limitations, including potential differences in the investment strategies of the
New Funds relative to the strategies of the funds in the Selected Peer Group, as
well as the level, quality and nature of the services to be provided by the
Adviser with respect to the New Funds. The Board noted that the proposed unitary
fee was within the range of advisory fees and expense ratios for the Selected
Peer Group. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of each New
Fund’s proposed unitary

Agreements(Continued)
fee
and the differences in each New Fund’s strategy from the applicable Selected
Peer Group. In considering the level of the advisory and sub-advisory fee with
respect to the New Funds, the Board also noted that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser
do not manage any other accounts with a similar investment strategy. Based on
its review, the Board concluded that the unitary fee with respect to each New
Fund appeared to be competitive and is otherwise reasonable in light of the
information provided.
Cost
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser, including the methodology underlying such projection.
The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee for each New Fund was a
“unitary fee,” meaning the New Fund would pay no expenses other than the
advisory fee, interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses
on securities sold short, 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, accrued deferred tax
liability, extraordinary expenses, and, to the extent it is implemented, fees
pursuant to a Distribution and/or Shareholder Servicing (12b-1) Plan. The Board
noted that the Adviser would be responsible for compensating the Trust’s other
service providers, including the Sub-Adviser, and paying each New Fund’s other
expenses out of its own revenue and resources. The Board also evaluated the
compensation and benefits expected to be received by the Adviser from its
relationship with the New Funds, taking into account the Adviser’s anticipated
profitability analysis with respect to the New Funds and the financial resources
the Adviser had committed and proposed to commit to its business. The Board took
into account that the New Funds had not yet commenced operations and
consequently, the future size of the New Funds and the Adviser’s future
profitability were generally unpredictable.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that the
Adviser might realize economies of scale in managing the New Funds as assets
grow in size. The Board noted, however, that any economies would, to some
degree, be shared with each New Fund’s shareholders through each New Fund’s
unitary fee structure. In the event there were to be significant asset growth in
a New Fund, the Board determined to reassess whether the advisory fee
appropriately took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as
a result of that growth.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the New Funds.
The Board considered the Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with respect to
portfolio transactions and considered that the Adviser does not intend to
utilize soft dollars with respect to the New Funds. The Board further considered
that Adviser does not use any affiliated brokers to execute portfolio
transactions. The Board noted there were currently no distribution or service
fees to be paid by the New Funds to the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board
considered that the Adviser may receive some form of reputational benefits from
services rendered to the New Funds, but that such benefits are immaterial and
cannot otherwise be quantified. The Board concluded that the additional benefits
the Adviser would receive from its relationship with each of the New Funds are
reasonable and appropriate.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Investment Management Agreement; rather, the Board based
its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement, including the compensation payable thereunder, were fair and
reasonable to each New Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the Investment Management
Agreement for an initial term of two years was in the best interests of each New
Fund and its shareholders.
Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with
the Sub-Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Board considered the scope of services to be
provided to the New Funds under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that the
Sub-Adviser would provide investment management services to each New Fund. The
Board noted the responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser would have as each New
Fund’s investment sub-adviser, including: responsibility for the management of
the securities and other assets of each New Fund, subject to the
supervision and oversight of the Adviser; executing placement of orders and
selection

of
brokers or dealers for such orders; general portfolio compliance with relevant
law; responsibility for daily monitoring of portfolio exposures and quarterly
reporting to the Board; and proxy voting with respect to securities held by each
New Fund.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program, including its compliance and regulatory history, and
information from the Trust’s CCO regarding his review of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program. The Board further noted that they had received and reviewed
materials with regard to the Sub-Adviser, including its responses to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Sub-Adviser’s decision-making process, details about the New Funds, and
information about the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board also
considered the Sub-Adviser’s resources and capacity with respect to portfolio
management, compliance, and operations. The Board also considered, among other
things, the professional experience and qualifications of the senior management
and key professional personnel of the Sub-Adviser, including those individuals
responsible for portfolio management.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser with respect to each Fund, the Board also took into account its
knowledge, acquired through discussions and reports at a prior meeting and in
between meetings, of the Sub-Adviser’s management and the quality of the
performance of the Sub-Adviser’s duties, as well as the Board’s experience with
the Sub-Adviser as the investment sub-adviser to other series of the Trust. The
Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied
with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each New
Fund by the Sub-Adviser.
Performance.
Because the New Funds had not yet commenced
operations, the Board noted that there was no historical performance records to
consider. The Board was presented with information about each New Fund’s
investment strategies. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser currently did not
manage a comparable ETF, mutual fund, or managed account with a performance
track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentations by the
Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the experience of the Sub-Adviser’s personnel
and determined that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided sufficient basis to
permit the Board in its business judgment to conclude that the Sub-Adviser had
the overall capability to perform its duties with respect to the New Funds under
the Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were expected to
obtain an acceptable level of investment returns for each New Fund’s
shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. The Board also reviewed
information regarding each New Fund’s proposed sub-advisory fee, including
advisory fees and total expense ratios of those funds that might be considered
peers of the New Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the
sub-advisory fee appeared to be competitive and a product of arm’s length
negotiation, and is otherwise reasonable in light of the information
provided.
Costs
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including the methodology underlying
such projection. The Board considered that the fees to be paid to the
Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser from the fee the Adviser received from
each New Fund and noted that the fee reflected an arm’s-length negotiation
between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took into account the
amount of the unitary fee to be retained by the Adviser and the services to be
provided with respect to the New Funds by the Adviser and further determined
that the sub-advisory fee reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory
fee paid to the Adviser given the work to be performed by each firm. The Board
also evaluated the compensation and benefits expected to be received by the
Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the New Funds, taking into account an
analysis of the Sub-Adviser’s estimated profitability, if any, with respect to
each New Fund. The Board noted that, because the Sub-Adviser’s advisory fee
would be paid by the Adviser out of its unitary fee, the Sub-Adviser’s
profitability is not a material consideration.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that it
currently appeared that the Sub-Adviser might realize economies of scale in
managing the New Funds as assets grow in size. The Board determined that it
would monitor fees as each New Fund’s assets grow to determine whether economies
of scale were being effectively shared with the New Fund and its shareholders.

to portfolio transactions and considered that the Sub-Adviser does not intend to

Each
Fund is actively managed with a primary investment objective to pay weekly
distributions. Each Fund’s secondary investment objective is to provide calendar
week returns, before fees and expenses, that correspond to 1.2 times (120%) the
calendar week total return of the common shares of the respective company as
indicated above.
Costs
incurred by the Fund in connection with the registration and initial public
offering of shares were paid by Roundhill Financial Inc. (“Roundhill” or the
“Adviser”).
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services —
Investment Companies. Financial statements are prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the significant accounting policies described below.
Use
of Estimates – The preparation of the
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in
net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Share
Transactions – The net asset value (“NAV”) per
share of each Fund will be equal to a Fund’s total assets minus a Fund’s total
liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is
published will be rounded to the nearest cent. The NAV is determined as of the
close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the New York
Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading.
Fair
Value Measurement – FASB ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC
820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with U.S. GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value
measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a
significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or
liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be
incorporated into fair value measurements. Under ASC 820, various inputs are
used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are
summarized in the following hierarchy:
|
Level 1
–
|
Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that
the Funds have the ability to access.
|
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Roundhill
ETF Trust WeeklyPay ETFs
Notes
to Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
(Unaudited)(Continued)
|
Level 2
–
|
Observable
inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an
inactive market, prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment
speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
|
Level 3
–
|
Unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable
inputs are not available; representing the Funds’ own assumptions about
the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or
liability, and would be based on the best information available.
|
The
fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). See the Schedules of Investments
for a summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2025, for each Fund based upon
the three levels described above.
The
availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is
affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of
security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the
marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to
the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are
less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value
requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in
determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The
valuation of each Fund’s investments is performed in accordance with the
principles found in Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. The Board of Trustees of the
Trust (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has designated a fair valuation committee
at the Adviser as the valuation designee of the Funds. In its capacity as
valuation designee, the Adviser, has adopted procedures and methodologies to
fair value the Funds’ investments whose market prices are not “readily
available” or are deemed to be unreliable. The circumstances in which a security
may be fair valued include, among others: the occurrence of events that are
significant to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults;
the occurrence of events that are significant to an entire market, such as
natural disasters in a particular region or government actions; trading
restrictions on securities; thinly traded securities; and market events such as
trading halts and early market closings. Due to the inherent uncertainty of
valuations, fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have
been used had an active market existed. Fair valuation could result in a
different NAV than a NAV determined by using market quotations. Such valuations
are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3.
In
calculating the NAV, each Fund’s exchange-traded equity securities will be
valued at fair value, which will generally be determined using the last reported
official closing or last trading price on the exchange or market on which the
security is primarily traded at the time of valuation. Securities listed on the
NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. are generally valued at the NASDAQ official closing
price. Money market funds are valued at NAV. If NAV is not readily available,
the securities will be valued at fair value.
Debt
securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of less than
60 days, are generally valued using the last available evaluated mean or current
market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices)
supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. Pricing services
may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and
assumptions to derive values. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations,
fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used
had an active market existed. An amortized cost method of valuation may be used
with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity,
unless the Adviser determines in good faith that such method does not represent
fair value.
Total
return swaps are valued using the closing price of the underlying security for
each contract.
All
other securities and investments for which market values are not readily
available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is
inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned
procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under
procedures adopted by the Board, although the actual calculations may be done by
others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not
limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the
appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the
issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary,
available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.

Security
Transactions – Investment transactions are
recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).
Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are
calculated based on the specific identification basis.
Investment
Income – Dividend income is recognized on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Withholding taxes on foreign
dividends has been provided for in accordance with Funds’ understanding of the
applicable tax rules and regulations. Discounts/premiums on debt securities are
accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the
effective interest method.
Tax
Information, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders and Uncertain Tax
Positions – The Funds are treated as separate
entities for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a
regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). To qualify and remain
eligible for the special tax treatment accorded to RICs, each Fund must meet
certain annual income and quarterly asset diversification requirements and must
distribute annually at least 90% of the sum of (i) its investment company
taxable income (which includes dividends, interest and net short-term capital
gains) and (ii) certain net tax-exempt income, if any. If so qualified, each
Fund will not be subject to Federal income tax.
Distributions
to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds will declare and
pay capital gain distributions, if any, in cash at least annually. The Funds may
also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with
Federal tax requirements. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance
with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These
“book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.
To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are
reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax
basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Dividends and distributions which exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes
are reported as a tax return of capital.
Management
evaluates the Funds’ tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet
the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for
uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the
purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial
statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required
only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming
examination by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to income
taxes would be recorded as income tax expense. The Funds’ Federal income tax
returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)
for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax
returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on
the jurisdiction. As of June 30, 2025, the Funds had no material uncertain
tax positions and did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. As
of June 30, 2025, the Funds had no examination in progress and management
is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the
amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next
twelve months.
Indemnification – In the normal course of business, the Funds
expect to enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and
warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum
exposure under these anticipated arrangements is unknown, as this would involve
future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Derivatives – The Funds enter into total return swap agreements
in an attempt to gain exposure to the securities in a market without actually
purchasing those securities. A total return swap is a contract in which one
party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in
market value of the assets underlying the contract, which may include a
specified security, basket of securities, or securities indices during the
specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable
interest rate or the total return from other underlying assets. Swap agreements
are usually be settled on a net basis, i.e., where the two parties make net
payments with a Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net
amount of the two payments. The Funds may also take physical settlement of the
underlying security when closing a swap agreement. The net amount of the excess,
if any, of a Fund’s obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap
is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or equivalents having an
aggregate value at least equal to the accrued excess is maintained by the Funds.

The
total return swap contracts are subject to master netting agreements, which are
agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net
settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds through a single
payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented on the
Schedules of Total Return Swap Contracts are gross settlement amounts.
The
following table presents the Funds’ gross derivative assets and liabilities by
counterparty and contract type, net of amounts available for offset under a
master netting agreement and the related collateral received or pledged by the
Funds as of June 30, 2025.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Investment
Advisory Agreement – The Trust has entered
into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the
Adviser. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides a continuous
investment program for the Funds’ assets in accordance with its investment
objectives, policies and limitations, and oversees the day-to-day operations of
the Funds subject to the supervision of the Board, including the Trustees who
are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act (the
“Independent Trustees”).
The
Adviser agrees to pay all expenses incurred by the Funds except for the fee paid
to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, interest charges on any
borrowings (including net interest expenses incurred in connection with an
investment in reverse repurchase agreements or futures contracts), dividends and
other expenses on securities sold short, taxes (of any kind or nature,
including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes),
brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the
purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments (including any
net account or similar fees charged by futures commission merchants) or in
connection with creation and redemption transactions (including without
limitation any fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses related to the purchase
or sale of an amount of any currency, or the patriation or repatriation of any
security or other asset, related to the execution of portfolio transactions or
any creation or redemption transactions), acquired fund fees and expenses,
accrued deferred tax liability, fees and expenses payable related to the
provision of securities lending services, legal fees or expenses in connection
with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or
litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith, extraordinary
expenses, and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any
distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
Exchange
Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an Oklahoma limited liability company
serves as the sub-adviser to the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is majority owned by
Cottonwood ETF Holdings LLC. Pursuant to a Subadvisory Agreement between the
Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), the Sub-Adviser is
responsible for trading portfolio securities on behalf of the Funds, including
selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions as instructed
by the Adviser or in connection with any rebalancing or reconstitution of a
Fund’s Index, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board, including
the independent Trustees. For its services, the Sub-Adviser is entitled to a
sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser, which is calculated daily and paid
monthly, at an annual rate based on the average daily net assets of each Fund,
and subject to a minimum annual fee as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
$30,000
for the first fund; $20,000 for remaining funds |
|
|
7
bps (0.07%) on the first $250 million
6
bps (0.06%) on the next $250 million |
|
|
|
|
5
bps (0.05%) on the next $500 million |
|
|
|
|
4
bps (0.04%) on the balance over $1 billion |
|
|
|
|
|
Distribution
Agreement and 12b-1 Plan – Foreside Fund
Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Foreside Financial Group, LLC (dba
ACA Group) (the “Distributor”), serves as each Fund’s distributor pursuant to a
Distribution Agreement. The Distributor receives compensation from the Adviser
for certain statutory underwriting services it provides to the Funds. The
Distributor enters into agreements with certain broker-dealers and others that
will allow those parties to be “Authorized Participants” and to subscribe for
and redeem shares of the Funds. The Distributor will not distribute shares in
less than whole Creation Units and does not maintain a secondary market in
shares.
TABLE OF CONTENTS

June 30, 2025
(Unaudited)(Continued)
The
Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1 Plan”). In accordance with the
Rule 12b-1 Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of
the Fund’s average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related
activities. As authorized by the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently
paid by the Funds and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the
event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of
each Fund’s assets. The Adviser and its affiliates may, out of their own
resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services
on behalf of the Funds.
Administrator,
Custodian and Transfer Agent – U.S. Bancorp
Fund Services LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund
Services” or “Administrator”) serves as administrator, transfer agent and fund
accountant of the Funds pursuant to a Fund Servicing Agreement. U.S. Bank N.A.
(the “Custodian”), an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as the Funds’ custodian
pursuant to a Custody Agreement. Under the terms of these agreements, the
Adviser pays each Fund’s administrative, custody and transfer agency fees.
Pursuant
to an agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and ACA Global, an
employee of ACA Global serves as Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust. Fees for
these services are paid by the Adviser under the terms of the Advisory
Agreement.
At
June 30, 2025, certain Officers and a Trustee of the Trust were also
officers or employees of the Adviser.
4.
CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS
Shares
of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Each Fund
issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of
shares called “Creation Units”. Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed
principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount.
Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a
Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Market prices for
the shares may be different from their NAV. The NAV is determined as of the
close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is
open for trading. The NAV of the shares of each Fund will be equal to a Fund’s
total assets minus a Fund’s total liabilities divided by the total number of
shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest
cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of Creation Units, the NAV
will be calculated to four decimal places.
Creation
Unit Transaction Fee – Authorized Participants
will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (the “Creation
Unit Transaction Fee”) in connection with the issuance or redemption of Creation
Units. The standard Creation Unit Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of
the number of Creation Units purchased or redeemed by an investor on the
applicable business day. The Creation Unit Transaction Fee charged by the Fund
for each creation order is $300.
The
fixed creation unit transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if
applicable Fund’s custodian has determined to waive some or all of the Creation
Order Costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser, has
agreed to pay such fee.
An
additional variable fee of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation
Units subject to the transaction may be imposed for (1) creations effected
outside the clearing process and (2) creations made in an all-cash amount (to
offset the Trust’s brokerage and other transaction costs associated with using
cash to purchase the requisite Deposit Securities). Investors are responsible
for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the Deposit Securities
to the account of the Trust. Each Fund may determine to not charge a variable
fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that doing so is in the
best interests of Fund shareholders. Variable fees, if any, received by the
Funds are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions section on the Statements
of Changes in Net Assets.
Only
“Authorized Participants” may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds.
An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in
the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National
Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case,
must have executed a Participant Agreement with the 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 the 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.
Securities received or delivered in connection with in-kind creates and redeems
are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the creation or
redemption.
A
creation unit will generally not be issued until the transfer of good title of
the deposit securities to the Funds and the payment of any cash amounts have
been completed. To the extent contemplated by the applicable participant
agreement, Creation Units of the Funds will be issued to such authorized
participant notwithstanding the fact that the Funds’ deposits have not been
received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the authorized
participant to deliver the missing deposit securities as soon as possible. If
the Funds or their agents do not receive all of the deposit securities, or the
required cash amounts, by such time, then the order may be deemed rejected and
the authorized participant shall be liable to the Funds for losses, if any.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
During
the period ended June 30, 2025, the Funds realized amounts in net capital
gains resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund
shares for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such gains
are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have
been reclassified from distributable earnings (accumulated losses) to paid
in-capital. The amounts of realized gains and losses from in-kind redemptions
included in realized gain/(loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations
is as follows:
Purchases
and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments), creations in-kind
and redemptions in-kind for the period ended June 30, 2025, were as follows:

PRINCIPAL RISKS
As
with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their
investment could lose money. Each Fund is subject to the principal risks, any of
which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and
ability to meet its investment objective.
A
complete description of principal risks is included in the prospectus under the
heading “Principal Investment Risks.”
8.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 is
intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily
through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing
financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment’s
profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable
segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity’s
segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that
are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, clarifying when an
entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance,
requiring enhanced interim disclosures and providing new disclosure requirements
for entities with a single reportable segment, among other new disclosure
requirements.
Management
has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect to the financial
statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the
Funds. Each Fund operates as a single segment entity. Each Fund’s income,
expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the
Adviser, who serves as the chief operating decision maker, using the information
presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
9.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management
has evaluated the Funds’ related event and transactions that occurred subsequent
to June 30, 2025, through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financials
statements. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events
requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statement.

(the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Investment Management
Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Adviser and Exchange Traded Concepts,
LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to each of the New Funds.
Pursuant
to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Agreements must be approved with respect
to each of the New Funds by: (i) the vote of the Board or shareholders of a New
Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with
its consideration of such approval, the Board must request and evaluate, and the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser are required to furnish, such information as may be
reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board in advance of the
Meeting, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided the Board
with an overview, during the Meeting, of each New Fund’s proposed strategy, the
services proposed to be provided to the New Funds by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser, and additional information about the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s
advisory business, including information on investment personnel, financial
resources, experience, investment processes, risk management processes and
liquidity management, and compliance programs. The representatives from the
Adviser discussed the rationale for launching each New Fund, each New Fund’s
proposed fees, and the operational aspects of each New Fund. The Board
considered the Adviser’s and

Sub-Adviser’s
presentation and the materials it received in advance of the Meeting, including
memoranda from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees regarding the
responsibilities of the Trustees in considering the approval of the Agreements.
The Board also noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser is an ongoing one and that in this regard, the Board took into
account discussions with management and information provided to the Board at
prior meetings and between meetings with respect to the services to be provided
by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including information provided in connection
with the consideration of advisory and sub-advisory agreements for other funds
in the Trust. The Board deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light
of this information. Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of, and request additional materials from, the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in executive sessions
with their independent counsel to further discuss the proposed Agreements and
the Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto. The information
received and considered by the Board in connection with the Board’s
determination to approve the Agreements was both written and oral. The Board
also noted that the evaluation process was performed on a Fund-by-Fund basis.
At
the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser to the New Funds; (ii) each New Fund’s anticipated expenses and
performance; (iii) the cost of the services to be provided and anticipated
profits to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and their respective
affiliates from their relationship with the Trust and the New Funds;
(iv) comparative fee and expense data for the New Funds and other
investment companies with similar investment objectives; (v) the extent to which
economies of scale would be realized as the New Funds grow and whether the
overall advisory fee for the New Funds would enable investors to share in the
benefits of economies of scale; (vi) any benefits to be derived by the
Adviser or Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the Trust and the New Funds,
including any fall-out benefits enjoyed by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser; and (vii)
other factors the Board deemed relevant. The factors considered and the
deliberations by the Board in connection with the approval of the Agreements are
set forth below but are not exhaustive of all matters that were discussed by the
Board. The Board also took into account the recommendation of the Adviser and
considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally
in the economy and the securities markets). In its deliberations, the Board did
not identify any single piece of information that was paramount or controlling
and the individual Trustees may have attributed different weights to various
factors. The Board considered approval of the Agreements with respect to each
Fund separately.
Approval of the Advisory Agreement with the
Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided.
The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the
Investment Management Agreement with respect to each Fund, noting that the
Adviser will be providing, among other things, a continuous investment program
for the New Funds, determining the assets to be purchased, retained or sold by
each New Fund, the provision of related services such as portfolio management
compliance services, and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf
of the Trust. The Trustees reviewed the extensive responsibilities that the
Adviser will have as investment adviser to the New Funds, including the
oversight of the activities and operations of the Sub-Adviser and other service
providers, oversight of general fund compliance with federal and state laws, and
the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the New Funds. In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Adviser’s compliance
program, including its compliance and regulatory history and information from
the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding his review of the
Adviser’s compliance program. The Board noted that it had received a copy of the
Adviser’s Form ADV, as well as the responses of the Adviser to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Adviser’s decision-making process, details about the New Funds, and information
about the services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board also considered the
Adviser’s operational capabilities and resources and its experience in managing
investment portfolios. In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the
services provided by the Adviser, the Board also took into account its
knowledge, acquired through discussions and reports at prior meetings and in
between meetings, of the Adviser’s management and the quality of the performance
of the Adviser’s duties, as well as the Board’s experience with the Adviser as
the investment adviser to other series of the Trust. The Board concluded that,
within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied with the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each New Fund by the
Adviser.

Consideration and Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory
Agreements(Continued)
Performance.
Because the New Funds had not yet commenced
operations, there were no historical performance records to consider. The Board
was presented with information about each New Fund’s investment strategies. The
Board noted that neither the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser currently manage a
comparable exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), mutual fund, or managed account with a
performance track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentation
by the Adviser and the experience of its personnel and determined that the
Adviser provided sufficient basis to permit the Board in its business judgment
to conclude that the Adviser had the overall capability to perform its duties
with respect to the New Funds under the Investment Management Agreement, and
that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level
of investment returns for each New Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. Regarding the costs of the
services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered, among other
expense data, a comparison of each New Fund’s proposed unitary fee compared to
the advisory fee and expenses of its most direct competitors as identified by
the Adviser (the “Selected Peer Group”). The Board noted that while it found the
comparative data provided by the generally useful, it recognized its
limitations, including potential differences in the investment strategies of the
New Funds relative to the strategies of the funds in the Selected Peer Group, as
well as the level, quality and nature of the services to be provided by the
Adviser with respect to the New Funds. The Board noted that the proposed unitary
fee was within the range of advisory fees and expense ratios for the Selected
Peer Group. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of each New
Fund’s proposed unitary fee and the differences in each New Fund’s strategy from
the applicable Selected Peer Group. In considering the level of the advisory and
sub-advisory fee with respect to the New Funds, the Board also noted that the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser do not manage any other accounts with a similar
investment strategy, except for the WeeklyPay suite. The Board considered that
the proposed unitary management fee and the sub-advisory fee schedule for the
WeeklyPay ETFs was the same as the fees for the existing WeeklyPay ETFs in the
Trust. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the unitary fee with
respect to each New Fund appeared to be competitive and is otherwise reasonable
in light of the information provided.
Cost
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser, including the methodology underlying such projection.
The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee for each New Fund was a
“unitary fee,” meaning the New Fund would pay no expenses other than the
advisory fee, interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses
on securities sold short, 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, accrued deferred tax
liability, extraordinary expenses, and, to the extent it is implemented, fees
pursuant to a Distribution and/or Shareholder Servicing (12b-1) Plan. The Board
noted that the Adviser would be responsible for compensating the Trust’s other
service providers, including the Sub-Adviser, and paying each New Fund’s other
expenses out of its own revenue and resources. The Board also evaluated the
compensation and benefits expected to be received by the Adviser from its
relationship with the New Funds, taking into account the Adviser’s anticipated
profitability analysis with respect to the New Funds and the financial resources
the Adviser had committed and proposed to commit to its business. The Board took
into account that the New Funds had not yet commenced operations and
consequently, the future size of the New Funds and the Adviser’s future
profitability were generally unpredictable.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that the
Adviser might realize economies of scale in managing the New Funds as assets
grow in size. The Board noted, however, that any economies would, to some
degree, be shared with each New Fund’s shareholders through each New Fund’s
unitary fee structure. In the event there were to be significant asset growth in
a New Fund, the Board determined to reassess whether the advisory fee
appropriately took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as
a result of that growth.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the New Funds.
The Board considered the Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with respect to
portfolio transactions and considered that the Adviser does not intend to
utilize soft dollars with respect to the New Funds. The Board further considered
that Adviser does not use any affiliated brokers to execute portfolio
transactions. The Board noted there were currently no distribution or service
fees to be paid by the New Funds to the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board
considered that the Adviser may receive some form of reputational benefits from
services rendered to the New

Agreements(Continued)
Funds,
but that such benefits are immaterial and cannot otherwise be quantified. The
Board concluded that the additional benefits the Adviser would receive from its
relationship with each of the New Funds are reasonable and appropriate.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Investment Management Agreement; rather, the Board based
its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement, including the compensation payable thereunder, were fair and
reasonable to each New Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the Investment Management
Agreement for an initial term of two years was in the best interests of each New
Fund and its shareholders.
Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with
the Sub-Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Board considered the scope of services to be
provided to the New Funds under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that the
Sub-Adviser would provide investment management services to each New Fund. The
Board noted the responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser would have as each New
Fund’s investment sub-adviser, including: responsibility for the management of
the securities and other assets of each New Fund, subject to the supervision and
oversight of the Adviser; executing placement of orders and selection of brokers
or dealers for such orders; general portfolio compliance with relevant law;
responsibility for daily monitoring of portfolio exposures and quarterly
reporting to the Board; and proxy voting with respect to securities held by each
New Fund.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program, including its compliance and regulatory history, and
information from the Trust’s CCO regarding his review of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program. The Board further noted that they had received and reviewed
materials with regard to the Sub-Adviser, including its responses to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Sub-Adviser’s decision-making process, details about the New Funds, and
information about the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board also
considered the Sub-Adviser’s resources and capacity with respect to portfolio
management, compliance, and operations. The Board also considered, among other
things, the professional experience and qualifications of the senior management
and key professional personnel of the Sub-Adviser, including those individuals
responsible for portfolio management.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser with respect to each Fund, the Board also took into account its
knowledge, acquired through discussions and reports at a prior meeting and in
between meetings, of the Sub-Adviser’s management and the quality of the
performance of the Sub-Adviser’s duties, as well as the Board’s experience with
the Sub-Adviser as the investment sub-adviser to other series of the Trust. The
Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied
with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each New
Fund by the Sub-Adviser.
Performance.
Because the New Funds had not yet commenced
operations, the Board noted that there was no historical performance records to
consider. The Board was presented with information about each New Fund’s
investment strategies. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser currently did not
manage a comparable ETF, mutual fund, or managed account with a performance
track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentations by the
Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the experience of the Sub-Adviser’s personnel
and determined that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided sufficient basis to
permit the Board in its business judgment to conclude that the Sub-Adviser had
the overall capability to perform its duties with respect to the New Funds under
the Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were expected to
obtain an acceptable level of investment returns for each New Fund’s
shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. The Board also reviewed
information regarding each New Fund’s proposed sub-advisory fee, including
advisory fees and total expense ratios of those funds that might be considered
peers of the New Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the
sub-advisory fee appeared to be competitive and a product of arm’s length
negotiation, and is otherwise reasonable in light of the information
provided.

Costs
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including the methodology underlying
such projection. The Board considered that the fees to be paid to the
Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser from the fee the Adviser received from
each New Fund and noted that the fee reflected an arm’s-length negotiation
between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took into account the
amount of the unitary fee to be retained by the Adviser and the services to be
provided with respect to the New Funds by the Adviser and further determined
that the sub-advisory fee reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory
fee paid to the Adviser given the work to be performed by each firm. The Board
also evaluated the compensation and benefits expected to be received by the
Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the New Funds, taking into account an
analysis of the Sub-Adviser’s estimated profitability, if any, with respect to
each New Fund. The Board noted that, because the Sub-Adviser’s advisory fee
would be paid by the Adviser out of its unitary fee, the Sub-Adviser’s
profitability is not a material consideration.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that it
currently appeared that the Sub-Adviser might realize economies of scale in
managing the New Funds as assets grow in size. The Board determined that it
would monitor fees as each New Fund’s assets grow to determine whether economies
of scale were being effectively shared with the New Fund and its shareholders.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect
benefits that could be realized by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with
the New Funds. The Board considered Sub-Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with
respect to portfolio transactions and considered that the Sub-Adviser does not
intend to utilize soft dollars with respect to the New Funds. The Board
considered that the Sub-Adviser may receive some form of reputational benefit
from services rendered to the New Funds, but that such benefits are immaterial
and cannot otherwise be quantified. The Board concluded that the additional
benefits the Sub-Adviser would receive from its relationship with each of the
New Funds are reasonable and appropriate.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each New Fund;
rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix of information
available to it. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality,
including those discussed above and other factors, the Board, including
separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of
that Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the compensation payable thereunder, was
fair and reasonable to each of the New Funds. The Board, including a majority of
the Independent Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the
Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term was in the best interests of
each New Funds and its shareholders.

At
a regularly scheduled meeting held on May 15, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the
Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Roundhill ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including
those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”),
considered the approval of investment management agreements (the “Investment
Management Agreements”) between Roundhill Financial Inc. (the “Adviser”) and
each of the Roundhill Long VIX Futures Points ETF Cayman Ltd., Roundhill 2X Long
VIX Futures Points ETF Cayman Ltd., Roundhill Short VIX Futures Points ETF
Cayman Ltd. And Roundhill 2X Short VIX Futures Points ETF Cayman Ltd. (each, a
“Cayman Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Cayman Subsidiaries”), on behalf of
the Roundhill Long VIX Futures Points ETF, Roundhill 2X Long, VIX Futures Points
ETF, Roundhill Short VIX Futures Points ETF and Roundhill 2X Short VIX Futures
Points ETF, resepctivelly (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and
sub-advisory agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, together with the
Investment Management Agreements, the “Agreements”) between the Adviser and
Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to each Cayman
Subsidiary.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board in advance of the
Meeting, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided the Board
with an overview, during the Meeting, of each Cayman Subsidiary’s proposed
investments, the services proposed to be provided to each Cayman Subsidiary by
the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and additional information about the Adviser’s and
Sub-Adviser’s advisory business, including information on investment personnel,
financial resources, experience, investment processes, risk management processes
and liquidity management, and compliance program. The representatives from the
Adviser discussed the rationale for establishing each Cayman Subsidiary and the
operational aspects of each Cayman Subsidiary. They indicated that there would
be no management fee charged with respect to the Cayman Subsidiaries. The Board
considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s presentation and the materials it
received in advance of the Meeting, including a memorandum from legal counsel to
the Independent Trustees regarding the responsibilities of the Trustees in
considering approval of investment advisory agreements. The Board also noted
that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser is an
ongoing one and that in this regard, the Board took into account discussions
with management and information provided to the Board at prior meetings and
between meetings with respect to the services to be provided by the Adviser and
the Sub-Adviser. In considering the Agreements, the Board took into account the
information and the factors and conclusions that it had considered in connection
with approval of the Funds’ management and sub-advisory agreements at the
Meeting. The Board also took into account the information provided and factors
considered, as applicable, in connection with the approval of the management and
sub-advisory agreements with respect to the Funds at this Meeting. The Board
deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this information.
Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of, and request additional materials from, the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session with their
independent counsel to further discuss the proposed Agreements and the
Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto. The information
received and considered by the Board in connection with the Board’s
determination to approve the Agreements was both written and oral.
At
the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser to each Cayman Subsidiary; (ii) each Cayman Subsidiary’s anticipated
expenses and performance; (iii) the cost of the services to be provided and
anticipated profits, if any, to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and
their respective affiliates from the relationship with the Cayman Subsidiaries;
(iv) comparative fee and expense data for each Cayman Subsidiary and other
investment companies with similar investment objectives, if any; (v) the extent
to which any economies of scale would be realized in connection with the
operation of each Cayman Subsidiary; (vi) any benefits to be derived by the
Adviser or Sub-Adviser from the relationship with each Cayman Subsidiary,
including any fall-out benefits enjoyed by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser; and (vii)
other factors the Board deemed relevant. The factors considered and the
determinations made by the Board in connection with the approval of the
Agreements are set forth below but are not exhaustive of all matters that were
discussed by the Board. The Board also took into account the recommendation of
the Adviser and considered other factors (including conditions and trends
prevailing generally in

the
economy and the securities markets). In its deliberations, the Board did not
identify any single piece of information that was paramount or controlling and
the individual Trustees may have attributed different weights to various
factors.
Approval of the Advisory Agreement with the
Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided.
The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under each
Investment Management Agreement, noting that the Adviser will be providing,
among other things, a continuous investment program for each Cayman Subsidiary,
determining the assets to be purchased, retained or sold by the Cayman
Subsidiary, the provision of related services such as portfolio management
compliance services, and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf
of the Trust and the Cayman Subsidiaries. The Trustees reviewed the extensive
responsibilities that the Adviser will have as investment adviser to each Cayman
Subsidiary, including the oversight of the activities and operations of the
Sub-Adviser and other service providers, oversight of general fund compliance
with federal and state laws, and the implementation of Board directives as they
relate to the Cayman Subsidiary. In considering the nature, extent, and quality
of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered the quality
of the Adviser’s compliance program, including its compliance and regulatory
history and information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)
regarding his review of the Adviser’s compliance program. The Board noted that
it had received a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV, as well as the responses
of the Adviser to a detailed series of questions that included, among other
things, information about the Adviser’s decision-making process, details about
each Cayman Subsidiary, and information about the services to be provided by the
Adviser. The Board also considered the Adviser’s operational capabilities and
resources and its experience in managing investment portfolios. In considering
the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the
Board also took into account its knowledge, acquired through discussions and
reports at prior meetings and in between meetings, of the Adviser’s management
and the quality of the performance of the Adviser’s duties, as well as the
Board’s experience with the Adviser as the investment adviser to other series of
the Trust. The Board concluded that, within the context of its full
deliberations, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the
services to be provided to each Cayman Subsidiary by the Adviser.
Performance.
Because the Cayman Subsidiaries had not yet
commenced operations, the Board noted that there were no historical performance
records to consider. The Board was presented with information about each Cayman
Subsidiary’s investments. The Board noted that neither the Adviser nor the
Sub-Adviser currently manage a comparable exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), mutual
fund, or managed account with a performance track record for comparison. The
Board considered the presentation by the Adviser and the experience of its
personnel and determined that the Adviser provided sufficient basis to permit
the Board in its business judgment to conclude that the Adviser had the overall
capability to perform its duties with respect to each Cayman Subsidiary under
the respective Investment Management Agreement, and that the Adviser and the
Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level of investment returns
for each Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. Regarding the costs of the
services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered that the Adviser
has a unitary fee arrangement with each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser
receives a management fee from the Fund and pays all Fund operating expenses,
with certain exceptions, and including the sub-advisory fees. The Board further
considered that the Cayman Subsidiaries will not be assessed a management fee
and will be included in the same fee arrangement as the respective Fund. The
Board noted that each Cayman Subsidiary’s expenses will be paid by the Adviser
pursuant to the unitary fee arrangement with the respective Fund.
Cost
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
each Fund advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability, of
any, projected by the Adviser. The Board took into consideration that the
advisory fee for each Fund was a “unitary fee,” meaning the Fund would pay no
expenses other than the advisory fee, interest charges on any borrowings,
dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, 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, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and, to the
extent it is implemented, fees pursuant to a Distribution and/or Shareholder
Servicing (12b-1) Plan. The Board noted that the Adviser would be responsible
for compensating the Trust’s other service providers, including the Sub-Adviser,
and paying each Fund’s other expenses out of its own revenue and resources. The
Board noted that the Adviser does not expect to receive separate compensation
for managing the Cayman Subsidiaries, or any direct or indirect benefits from
its relationship with the Cayman Subsidiaries.

Economies
of Scale. The Board noted that the Adviser
might realize economies of scale in managing each overall Fund as assets grow in
size. The Board noted, however, that any economies would, to some degree, be
shared with each Fund’s shareholders through the Fund’s unitary fee structure.
In the event there were to be significant asset growth in a Fund, the Board
determined to reassess whether the advisory fee appropriately took into account
any economies of scale that had been realized as a result of that growth. The
Board noted that there would be no additional fee charged with respect to the
Cayman Subsidiaries and that the Adviser would bear the expenses of each Caymen
Subsidiary.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Cayman
Subsidiary. The Board noted that the Adviser does not expect to receive any
direct or indirect “fall-out” benefits from its relationship with the Cayman
Subsidiaries.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve each Investment Management Agreement; rather, the Board
based its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based
on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those
discussed above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of
the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of each Investment
Management Agreement were fair and reasonable to each Cayman Subsidiary. The
Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore determined
that the approval of each Investment Management Agreement for an initial term of
two years was in the best interests of respective Cayman Subsidiary and
respective Fund.
Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with
the Sub-Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Board considered the scope of services to be
provided to each Cayman Subsidiary under the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement,
noting that the Sub-Adviser would provide investment management services to each
Cayman Subsidiary. The Board noted the responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser
would have as each Cayman Subsidiary’s investment sub-adviser, including:
responsibility for the management of the securities and other assets of the
Cayman Subsidiary, subject to the supervision and oversight of the Adviser;
executing placement of orders and selection of brokers or dealers for such
orders; general portfolio compliance with relevant law; responsibility for daily
monitoring of portfolio exposures and quarterly reporting to the Board; and
proxy voting with respect to securities held by the Cayman Subsidiary.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program including its compliance and regulatory history, and
information from the Trust’s CCO regarding his review of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program. The Board further noted that they had received and reviewed
materials with regard to the Sub-Adviser, including its responses to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Sub-Adviser’s decision-making process, and information about the services to be
provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the Sub-Adviser’s
resources and capacity with respect to portfolio management, compliance, and
operations. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional
experience and qualifications of the senior management and key professional
personnel of the Sub-Adviser, including those individuals responsible for
portfolio management.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser, the Board also took into account its knowledge, acquired through
discussions and reports at prior meetings and in between meetings, of the
Sub-Adviser’s management and the quality of the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s
duties. The Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, it
was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be
provided to each Cayman Subsidiary by the Sub-Adviser.
Performance.
Because the Cayman Subsidiaries had not yet
commenced operations, the Board noted that there was no historical performance
records to consider. The Board was presented with information about each Cayman
Subsidiary’s investment strategies. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser
currently did not manage a comparable ETF, mutual fund, or managed account with
a performance track record for comparison. The Board considered the
presentations by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the experience of the
Sub-Adviser’s personnel and determined that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided
sufficient basis to permit the Board in its business judgment to conclude that
the Sub-Adviser had the overall capability to perform its duties with respect to
each Cayman Subsidiary under the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level of
investment returns for each Fund’s shareholders.

Board
Consideration and Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory
Agreements(Continued)
Fees
and Expenses. The Board also reviewed
information regarding each Cayman Subsidiary’s proposed sub-advisory fees and
took into account that the Sub-Adviser would be paid the fees specified in the
Sub-Advisory Agreement for the respective Fund and would receive no additional
compensation with respect to each Cayman Subsidiary. Based on its review, the
Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee appeared to be competitive and is
otherwise reasonable in light of the information provided.
Costs
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability of the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered that any fees to be paid to the
Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser from the fee the Adviser received from
the respective Fund and noted that the fee reflected an arm’s-length negotiation
between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took into account the
amount of the unitary fee to be retained by the Adviser from the each Fund and
the services to be provided with respect to each Cayman Subsidiary by the
Adviser and further determined that the sub-advisory fee reflected an
appropriate allocation of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser given the work to
be performed by each firm. The Board also evaluated the compensation and
benefits expected to be received by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with
each Cayman Subsidiary, if any, noting that the Sub-Adviser would not receive an
additional fee with respect to the Cayman Subsidiary. The Board noted that,
because the Sub-Adviser’s advisory fee would be paid by the Adviser out of its
unitary fee from the respective Fund, the Sub-Adviser’s profitability is not a
material consideration.
Economies
of Scale. The Board noted that it currently
appeared that the Sub-Adviser might realize economies of scale in managing each
Cayman Subsidiary as assets grow in size. The Board determined that it would
monitor fees as each Cayman Subsidiary’s assets grow to determine whether
economies of scale were being effectively shared with the Cayman Subsidiary and
the respective Fund.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect
benefits that could be realized by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with
each Cayman Subsidiary. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser does not expect to
receive any direct or indirect “fall-out” benefits from its relationship with
each Cayman Subsidiary.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve each Sub-Advisory Agreement; rather, the Board based its
determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of each Sub-Advisory Agreement,
including any compensation payable thereunder, were fair and reasonable to each
Cayman Subsidiary. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
therefore determined that the approval of each Sub-Advisory Agreement for an
initial two-year term was in the best interests of each Cayman Subsidiary and
the respective Fund.

At
a regularly scheduled meeting held on November 26, 2024 (the “Meeting”),
the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Roundhill ETF Trust (the “Trust”),
including those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent
Trustees”), considered the approval of an investment management agreement (the
“Investment Management Agreement”) between Roundhill Financial Inc. (the
“Adviser”) and the Trust, with respect to each of the Roundhill AAPL WeeklyPay
ETF, Roundhill AMD WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill AMZN WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill COIN
WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill GOOGL WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill META WeeklyPay ETF,
Roundhill MSFT WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill PLTR WeeklyPay ETF, Roundhill NVDA

Roundhill Daily 2X Long China Dragons ETF (each, a “New Fund,” and collectively,
the “New Funds”), and a sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”
and, together with the Investment Management Agreement, the “Agreements”)
between the Adviser, and Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) with
respect to each of the New Funds.
Pursuant
to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Agreements must be approved with respect
to each of the New Funds by: (i) the vote of the Board or shareholders of a New
Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with
its consideration of such approval, the Board must request and evaluate, and the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser are required to furnish, such information as may be
reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board in advance of the
Meeting, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided the Board
with an overview, during the Meeting, of each New Fund’s proposed strategy, the
services proposed to be provided to the New Funds by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser, and additional information about the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s
advisory business, including information on investment personnel, financial
resources, experience, investment processes, risk management processes and
liquidity management, and compliance programs. The representatives from the
Adviser discussed the rationale for launching each New Fund, each New Fund’s
proposed fees, and the operational aspects of each New Fund. The Board
considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s presentation and the materials it
received in advance of the Meeting, including memoranda from legal counsel to
the Independent Trustees regarding the responsibilities of the Trustees in
considering the approval of the Agreements. The Board also noted that the
evaluation process with respect to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser is an ongoing one
and that in this regard, the Board took into account discussions with management
and information provided to the Board at prior meetings and between meetings
with respect to the services to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser,
including information provided in connection with the consideration of advisory
and sub-advisory agreements for other funds in the Trust. . The Board
deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this information.
Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of, and request additional materials from, the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in executive sessions with their
independent counsel to further discuss the proposed Agreements and the
Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto. The information
received and considered by the Board in connection with the Board’s
determination to approve the Agreements was both written and oral. The Board
also noted that the evaluation process was performed on a Fund-by-Fund basis.
At
the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser to the New Funds; (ii) each New Fund’s anticipated expenses and
performance; (iii) the cost of the services

to
be provided and anticipated profits to be realized by the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their relationship with the
Trust and the New Funds; (iv) comparative fee and expense data for the New
Funds and other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (v) the
extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Funds grow and
whether the overall advisory fee for the New Funds would enable investors to
share in the benefits of economies of scale; (vi) any benefits to be
derived by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the Trust and
the New Funds, including any fall-out benefits enjoyed by the Adviser or
Sub-Adviser; and (vii) other factors the Board deemed relevant. The factors
considered and the deliberations by the Board in connection with the approval of
the Agreements are set forth below but are not exhaustive of all matters that
were discussed by the Board. The Board also took into account the recommendation
of the Adviser and considered other factors (including conditions and trends
prevailing generally in the economy and the securities markets). In its
deliberations, the Board did not identify any single piece of information that
was paramount or controlling and the individual Trustees may have attributed
different weights to various factors. The Board considered approval of the
Agreements with respect to each Fund separately.
Approval of the Advisory Agreement with the
Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided.
The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the
Investment Management Agreement with respect to each Fund, noting that the
Adviser will be providing, among other things, a continuous investment program
for the New Funds, determining the assets to be purchased, retained or sold by
each New Fund, the provision of related services such as portfolio management
compliance services, and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf
of the Trust. The Trustees reviewed the extensive responsibilities that the
Adviser will have as investment adviser to the New Funds, including the
oversight of the activities and operations of the Sub-Adviser and other service
providers, oversight of general fund compliance with federal and state laws, and
the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the New Funds. In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Adviser’s compliance
program, including its compliance and regulatory history and information from
the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding his review of the
Adviser’s compliance program. The Board noted that it had received a copy of the
Adviser’s Form ADV, as well as the responses of the Adviser to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Adviser’s decision-making process, details about the New Funds, and information
about the services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board also considered the
Adviser’s operational capabilities and resources and its experience in managing
investment portfolios. In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the
services provided by the Adviser, the Board also took into account its
knowledge, acquired through discussions and reports at prior meetings and in
between meetings, of the Adviser’s management and the quality of the performance
of the Adviser’s duties, as well as the Board’s experience with the Adviser as
the investment adviser to other series of the Trust. The Board concluded that,
within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied with the nature,
extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each New Fund by the
Adviser.
Performance.
Because the New Funds had not yet commenced
operations, there were no historical performance records to consider. The Board
was presented with information about each New Fund’s investment strategies. The
Board noted that neither the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser currently manage a
comparable exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), mutual fund, or managed account with a
performance track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentation
by the Adviser and the experience of its personnel and determined that the
Adviser provided sufficient basis to permit the Board in its business judgment
to conclude that the Adviser had the overall capability to perform its duties
with respect to the New Funds under the Investment Management Agreement, and
that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser were expected to obtain an acceptable level
of investment returns for each New Fund’s shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. Regarding the costs of the
services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered, among other
expense data, a comparison of each New Fund’s proposed unitary fee compared to
the advisory fee and expenses of its most direct competitors as identified by
the Adviser (the “Selected Peer Group”). The Board noted that while it found the
comparative data provided by the generally useful, it recognized its
limitations, including potential differences in the investment strategies of the
New Funds relative to the strategies of the funds in the Selected Peer Group, as
well as the level, quality and nature of the services to be provided by the
Adviser with respect to the New Funds. The Board noted that the proposed unitary
fee was within the range of advisory fees and expense ratios for the Selected
Peer Group. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of each New
Fund’s proposed unitary

Agreements(Continued)
fee
and the differences in each New Fund’s strategy from the applicable Selected
Peer Group. In considering the level of the advisory and sub-advisory fee with
respect to the New Funds, the Board also noted that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser
do not manage any other accounts with a similar investment strategy. Based on
its review, the Board concluded that the unitary fee with respect to each New
Fund appeared to be competitive and is otherwise reasonable in light of the
information provided.
Cost
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser, including the methodology underlying such projection.
The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee for each New Fund was a
“unitary fee,” meaning the New Fund would pay no expenses other than the
advisory fee, interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses
on securities sold short, 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, accrued deferred tax
liability, extraordinary expenses, and, to the extent it is implemented, fees
pursuant to a Distribution and/or Shareholder Servicing (12b-1) Plan. The Board
noted that the Adviser would be responsible for compensating the Trust’s other
service providers, including the Sub-Adviser, and paying each New Fund’s other
expenses out of its own revenue and resources. The Board also evaluated the
compensation and benefits expected to be received by the Adviser from its
relationship with the New Funds, taking into account the Adviser’s anticipated
profitability analysis with respect to the New Funds and the financial resources
the Adviser had committed and proposed to commit to its business. The Board took
into account that the New Funds had not yet commenced operations and
consequently, the future size of the New Funds and the Adviser’s future
profitability were generally unpredictable.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that the
Adviser might realize economies of scale in managing the New Funds as assets
grow in size. The Board noted, however, that any economies would, to some
degree, be shared with each New Fund’s shareholders through each New Fund’s
unitary fee structure. In the event there were to be significant asset growth in
a New Fund, the Board determined to reassess whether the advisory fee
appropriately took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as
a result of that growth.
Benefits. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits
that could be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the New Funds.
The Board considered the Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with respect to
portfolio transactions and considered that the Adviser does not intend to
utilize soft dollars with respect to the New Funds. The Board further considered
that Adviser does not use any affiliated brokers to execute portfolio
transactions. The Board noted there were currently no distribution or service
fees to be paid by the New Funds to the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board
considered that the Adviser may receive some form of reputational benefits from
services rendered to the New Funds, but that such benefits are immaterial and
cannot otherwise be quantified. The Board concluded that the additional benefits
the Adviser would receive from its relationship with each of the New Funds are
reasonable and appropriate.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s
decision to approve the Investment Management Agreement; rather, the Board based
its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, including those discussed
above and other factors, the Board, including separately a majority of the
Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Investment Management
Agreement, including the compensation payable thereunder, were fair and
reasonable to each New Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the Investment Management
Agreement for an initial term of two years was in the best interests of each New
Fund and its shareholders.
Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with
the Sub-Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Board considered the scope of services to be
provided to the New Funds under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that the
Sub-Adviser would provide investment management services to each New Fund. The
Board noted the responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser would have as each New
Fund’s investment sub-adviser, including: responsibility for the management of
the securities and other assets of each New Fund, subject to the supervision and
oversight of the Adviser; executing placement of orders and selection of

brokers
or dealers for such orders; general portfolio compliance with relevant law;
responsibility for daily monitoring of portfolio exposures and quarterly
reporting to the Board; and proxy voting with respect to securities held by each
New Fund.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by
the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program, including its compliance and regulatory history, and
information from the Trust’s CCO regarding his review of the Sub-Adviser’s
compliance program. The Board further noted that they had received and reviewed
materials with regard to the Sub-Adviser, including its responses to a detailed
series of questions that included, among other things, information about the
Sub-Adviser’s decision-making process, details about the New Funds, and
information about the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board also
considered the Sub-Adviser’s resources and capacity with respect to portfolio
management, compliance, and operations. The Board also considered, among other
things, the professional experience and qualifications of the senior management
and key professional personnel of the Sub-Adviser, including those individuals
responsible for portfolio management.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser with respect to each Fund, the Board also took into account its
knowledge, acquired through discussions and reports at a prior meeting and in
between meetings, of the Sub-Adviser’s management and the quality of the
performance of the Sub-Adviser’s duties, as well as the Board’s experience with
the Sub-Adviser as the investment sub-adviser to other series of the Trust. The
Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, it was satisfied
with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each New
Fund by the Sub-Adviser.
Performance.
Because the New Funds had not yet commenced
operations, the Board noted that there was no historical performance records to
consider. The Board was presented with information about each New Fund’s
investment strategies. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser currently did not
manage a comparable ETF, mutual fund, or managed account with a performance
track record for comparison. The Board considered the presentations by the
Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the experience of the Sub-Adviser’s personnel
and determined that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided sufficient basis to
permit the Board in its business judgment to conclude that the Sub-Adviser had
the overall capability to perform its duties with respect to the New Funds under
the Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were expected to
obtain an acceptable level of investment returns for each New Fund’s
shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses. The Board also reviewed
information regarding each New Fund’s proposed sub-advisory fee, including
advisory fees and total expense ratios of those funds that might be considered
peers of the New Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the
sub-advisory fee appeared to be competitive and a product of arm’s length
negotiation, and is otherwise reasonable in light of the information
provided.
Costs
of Services to be Provided and Profitability.
The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the
proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, and the estimated profitability
projected by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including the methodology underlying
such projection. The Board considered that the fees to be paid to the
Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser from the fee the Adviser received from
each New Fund and noted that the fee reflected an arm’s-length negotiation
between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took into account the
amount of the unitary fee to be retained by the Adviser and the services to be
provided with respect to the New Funds by the Adviser and further determined
that the sub-advisory fee reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory
fee paid to the Adviser given the work to be performed by each firm. The Board
also evaluated the compensation and benefits expected to be received by the
Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the New Funds, taking into account an
analysis of the Sub-Adviser’s estimated profitability, if any, with respect to
each New Fund. The Board noted that, because the Sub-Adviser’s advisory fee
would be paid by the Adviser out of its unitary fee, the Sub-Adviser’s
profitability is not a material consideration.
Economies
of Scale. The Board expressed the view that it
currently appeared that the Sub-Adviser might realize economies of scale in
managing the New Funds as assets grow in size. The Board determined that it
would monitor fees as each New Fund’s assets grow to determine whether economies
of scale were being effectively shared with the New Fund and its shareholders.
