HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
From December 20, 2024 through May 31, 2025, the FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF (BRIF) delivered a strong total return, outperforming the MSCI USA Net Total Return USD Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
This relative outperformance was driven by security selection, with active return contribution estimated at +1.95%. Stock selection within healthcare and technology proved particularly effective, while the fund’s underweight to the financial services sector and selection within the industrials sector detracted from performance.
The top three contributors to performance were Uber Technologies, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated.  Uber’s strength reflected robust earnings momentum and margin expansion in its mobility and delivery segments. Abbott benefited from steady growth in its diagnostics and medical devices business, while Vertex advanced on continued leadership in rare disease treatments. On the downside, the most significant detractors were Arista Networks, Inc., Salesforce, Inc., and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. Arista and Salesforce were weighed down by valuation compression in high-multiple tech names despite solid fundamentals, while Bristol-Myers faced ongoing investor concerns around its drug pipeline and patent expirations which led to the managers’ decision to exit the position.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED PERFORMANCE?
For the year ending May 31, 2025, the Fund returned 9.23% on a Net Asset Value basis. The Fund’s benchmark index is the MSCI World Index Net (USD) which rose 13.72%.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The three sectors that contributed the most to performance were health care, energy and utilities. Stock picking had the greatest impact as  NVIDIA Corporation  was once again the Fund’s largest holding throughout the period, and it was also one of the very best performers in the broad stock market. Other helpful technology stocks for the Fund were Palo Alto Networks, Inc. and ServiceNow, Inc. Their focus on software and services as compliments to Artificial Intelligence is a long-term theme the portfolio managers find appealing. Reflecting continued innovation in health care, Intuitive Surgical, Inc. in medical equipment also added to performance.
The three sectors that detracted the most from performance were consumer discretionary, financials and communication services. In each case, this was a result of stock selection and to a smaller degree the amount of capital allocated to these sectors. The individual stocks having the largest detraction to fund performance were ON Semiconductor Corp. in technology, Lennar Corporation in consumer discretionary, and Graphic Packaging Holding Company in materials. In an effort to mitigate risk concerns about the numerous economic and policy changes the US equity markets were facing, we had an allocation to cash which also detracted from performance during the period.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-Month period ended May 31, 2025, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, MSCI ACWI Net Total Return Index (USD)  17.16% versus 13.65%. Strong relative performance of non-US equity markets where the Fund had a Value tilt, favorable allocation to and selection within Emerging Asia markets, and positive stock selection with a Growth bias in the US were important contributors.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The top three sector contributors were Information Technology, Health Care and Communications Services. Favorable stock selection was the dominant driver in each case. Chinese Technology firm Xiaomi Corp., Semiconductor manufacturer Broadcom Inc. and German enterprise software provider SAP SE were the top contributors in Technology. Automated insulin pump maker Insulet Corp., drug distributor Cencora, Inc. and robotic surgical equipment maker Intuitive Surgical, Inc. led the Health Care sector. In Communcation Services the largest contributors were Netflix Inc., Deutsche Telecom AG and Hong Kong based entertainment company  Tencent Holdings Ltd.  
The top three sectors detracting from performance were Consumer Staples, Industrials and Consumer Discretionary. The Campbell’s Co., General Mills, Inc., and troubled retailer Target  Corp. were the largest detractors in Consumer Staples. Industrials’ performance was chiefly hurt by buildings products maker Ferguson Enterprises, military contractor BAE Systems (sold before the large 2025 rally in defense stocks) and automotive auctioneer salvage yard operator Copart. In Consumer Discretionary, footwear maker Deckers Outdoor Corporation  was responsible for essentially the entire sector’s underperformance, as the shares fell sharply on tariff concerns in early 2025.

(b) Not applicable.

 

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

 

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

 

A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.

 

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

The registrant’s board of Trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. John Jacobs is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

 

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including reviewing the Fund’s tax returns and distribution calculations. There were no “Other services” provided by the principal accountant. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, the Fund’s principal accountant was Cohen & Company, Ltd. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for the last fiscal year for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

 

  FYE 5/31/25 FYE 5/31/24
(a) Audit Fees $37,000 $21,000
(b) Audit-Related Fees None None
(c) Tax Fees $9,000 $6,000
(d) All Other Fees (Seed Audit) None None

 

(e)(1) The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

 

 

(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company, Ltd applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

 

     FYE 5/31/25 FYE  5/31/24
Audit-Related Fees 0% 0%
Tax Fees 0% 0%
All Other Fees 0% 0%

 

(f) Not Applicable.

 

(g) The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.

 

Non-Audit Related Fees FYE 5/31/25 FYE  5/31/24
Registrant None None
Registrant’s Investment Adviser None None

 

(h) Because no non-audit services were rendered, the audit committee of the registrant’s board of trustees did not consider whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.

 

(i) Not applicable.

 

(j) Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

 

(a) The registrant is an issuer as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “Act”) and has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Act. The members of the committee, are as follows:

 

Sharon Cheever

John Jacobs

Richard Keary

Robert Sherry

 

(b) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Investments.

 

(a) Schedule of Investments is included within the financial statements filed under Item 7 (a) of this Form.

 

(b) Not Applicable.
 

 

 

Item 7. Financial Statements and Financial Highlights for Open-End Investment Companies.

 

(a) The Registrant’s Financial Statements are filed herewith.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
The NEOS ETF Trust (the “Trust”), was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 1, 2021 and is authorized to issue multiple series or portfolios. The Trust is an open-end investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of fourteen operational exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), three of which are presented herein, FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF (the “Bright Portfolios ETF”), FIS Christian Stock Fund (the “Christian Stock Fund”), and FIS Knights of Columbus Global Belief ETF (the “Knights of Columbus ETF”) (collectively, the “Funds” or individually, a “Fund”). These financial statements relate only to the Funds. The Funds are each a diversified series of the Trust. The investment objective of the Bright Portfolios ETF is to seek long term capital appreciation; the investment objective of the Christian Stock Fund is to seek long-term growth of capital and income and the investment objective of the Knights of Columbus ETF is to seek income and long-term growth of capital.
Faith Investor Services, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to each Fund.
Bright Portfolios, LLC acts as the sub-adviser to the Bright Portfolios ETF.
Vident Asset Management acts as the trading sub-adviser responsible for trading portfolio securities for the Bright Portfolios ETF.
Capital Insight Partners, LLC acts as the sub-adviser to the Christian Stock Fund.
Knights of Columbus Asset Advisors LLC acts as the sub-adviser to the Knights of Columbus ETF.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
A.
Investment Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. NAV per share is computed by dividing the net assets of each Fund by each Fund’s number of shares outstanding.
When calculating the NAV of each Fund’s shares, securities held by the Funds are valued at market quotations when reliable market quotations are readily available. Exchange traded securities and instruments (including equity securities, depositary receipts and ETFs) are generally valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such securities are traded (at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price for NASDAQ listed securities), as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities and instruments not traded on an exchange are generally valued at the last traded price. Investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at NAV. In the absence of a recorded transaction sale price; or if the last sale price is unavailable, securities are valued at the mean between last bid and ask, as quoted. If an ask price is unavailable, the last bid price is used. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
When reliable market quotations are not readily available, securities are priced at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s valuation guidelines. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, each Fund has designated the Adviser as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable. The Funds may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to Financial Statements

but not limited to, situations when the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of such security) or trading in such security has been suspended or halted. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. As of May 31, 2025, there were no securities held by the Funds that were internally fair valued and/or valued using a Level 2 or Level 3 valuation.
Investments in open-end regulated investment companies (including money market funds) are valued at NAV. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs) and (2) the Funds’ own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – 
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Funds have the ability to access.
Level 2 – 
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 – 
Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s investments as of May 31, 2025:

B.
Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The Funds’ assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the valuation date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The Funds’ income earned and expenses incurred in foreign denominated currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of such activity.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations that result from changes in the market prices of investments held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gain (loss) on investments in securities and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in securities on the Statements of Operations.
Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions reported on the Statements of Operations arise from sales of foreign currency, including foreign exchange contracts, net currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference in the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies reported on the Statements of Operations arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and assets and liabilities (other than investments) denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.
C.
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
D.
Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent each Fund distributes substantially all its taxable net investment income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax should be required. Management of the Funds is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of May 31, 2025. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations.
E.
Distributions to Shareholders. Each Fund expects to declare and distribute all of its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends annually. The Funds will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Funds may distribute such income dividends and capital gains more frequently, if necessary, to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the Funds. The amount of any distribution will vary, and there is no guarantee the Funds will pay either an income dividend or a capital gains distribution.

F.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share and are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind redemptions. For the year ended May 31, 2025, the following adjustments were made:

The Adviser administers the Funds’ business affairs, provides office facilities and equipment and certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services. The Adviser, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with each of the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers are responsible for the day-to-day management of their specific Fund’s portfolio, subject to the supervision and oversight of the Adviser and the Board. The Adviser oversees the Sub-Advisers for compliance with the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, strategies and restrictions. The Board oversees the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, establishes policies that they must follow in their advisory activities, and oversees the hiring and termination of sub-advisers recommended by the Adviser.
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Bright Portfolios ETF pays the Adviser a monthly unitary management fee at an annual rate of 0.65%, the Christian Stock Fund pays the Adviser a monthly unitary management fee at an annual rate of 0.68% and the Knights of Columbus ETF pays the Adviser a monthly unitary management fee at the annual rate of 0.75%, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended May 31, 2025, Bright Portfolios ETF, Christian Stock Fund and Knights of Columbus ETF incurred $210,763, $424,497 and $194,096, respectively, in management fees.
Pursuant to each Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers out of the management fees it receives from the Funds.
Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser pays all operating expenses of the Funds, except for certain expenses, including but not limited to, interest expenses, taxes, brokerage expenses, future Rule 12b-1 fees (if any), acquired fund fees and expenses, and the management fee payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

NOTE 6 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Each Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front-end sales loads, no deferred sales charges, and no redemption fees. The standard fixed transaction fees for the Bright Portfolios ETF and the Christian Stock Fund are $500, and for the Knights of Columbus ETF are $1,000, payable to the Custodian. Additionally, a variable transaction fee may be charged by the Funds of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units (inclusive of any transaction fees charged), for each creation or redemption. Variable transaction fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for the transaction costs associated with creation and redemption transactions. The Adviser may adjust or waive the transaction fees from time to time. The Funds may each issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds will issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, typically 10,000 Shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are conducted in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a designated basket of in-kind securities and/or cash. Once created, shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit and at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System (“Clearing Process”) of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) or (ii) a participant in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Funds’ Distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
NOTE 7 – BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 8 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
As with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks, any of which may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet their investment objectives. A description of principal risks is included in each prospectus under the heading “Principal Investment Risks”.
NOTE 9 – GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Trust organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. The Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.
NOTE 10 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND/OR REGULATORY UPDATES
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.
Note 11 – FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF In-kind Contribution
As part of FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF’s (“the Fund”) commencement of operations on December 20, 2024, the Fund received an in-kind contribution from accounts managed by Bright Portfolios, LLC, which consisted of $21,559,443 of securities which were recorded at their current value to align the Fund’s performance with ongoing financial reporting. However, as the transaction was determined to be a nontaxable transaction by management, the Fund elected to retain the securities’ original cost basis for tax purposes. The cost of the contributed securities as of December 20, 2024 was $16,251,665, resulting in net unrealized appreciation on investments of $5,307,778 as of that date. As a result of the in-kind contribution, the Fund issued 862,000 shares at a $25.01 per share net asset value.
NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
On June 23, 2025, the Adviser publicly announced that it had determined that it was in the best interests of shareholders of the Knights of Columbus ETF to liquidate the ETF. Liquidation payments to Fund shareholders were expected to be distributed in July 2025. Once the distributions are complete, the Fund will terminate.
Management has determined that there are no other material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from broker, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the NEOS ETF Trust since 2023.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (Unaudited)
If the board of directors approved any investment advisory contract during the Fund’s most recent fiscal half-year, discuss in reasonable detail the material factors and the conclusions with respect thereto that formed the basis for the board’s approval. Include the following in the discussion:
(1)
Factors relating to both the board’s selection of the investment adviser and approval of the advisory fee and any other amounts to be paid by the Fund under the contract. These factors would include, but not be limited to, a discussion of the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the investment adviser; the investment performance of the Fund and the investment adviser; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows; and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. Also indicate in the discussion whether the board relied upon comparisons of the services to be rendered and the amounts to be paid under the contract with those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same 14 and other investment advisers with other registered investment companies or other types of clients (e.g., pension funds and other institutional investors). If the board relied upon such comparisons, describe the comparisons and how they assisted the board in concluding that the contract should be approved; and
(2)
If applicable, any benefits derived or to be derived by the investment adviser from the relationship with the Fund such as soft dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research to the Fund or its investment adviser in return for allocating Fund brokerage.
Response: On December 11, 2024, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust on behalf of the FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF (the “Bright ETF”), a then new series of the Trust, and Faith Investor Services, LLC (“FIS”), the Sub-Advisory Agreement between FIS and Bright Portfolios, LLC (“Bright”) on behalf of the Bright ETF and the sub-advisory agreement between FIS and Vident Asset Management (“Vident”) on behalf of the Bright ETF (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements. FIS, Bright and Vident (each an “Adviser” and collectively, the “Advisers”) provided such information as the Independent Trustees deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Advisory Agreements. At a meeting on December 11, 2024, the Board including the Independent Trustees of the Board, reviewed: (i) the nature and quality of the advisory services to be provided by each Adviser, including the experience and qualifications of the personnel providing such services; (ii) the performance history of the Bright ETF, noting that the Bright ETF had not yet launched; (iii) the proposed fees and expenses of the Bright ETF; (iv) the anticipated profitability of the Bright ETF to FIS; (v) potential economies of scale; (vi) possible fall-out benefits to each Adviser and its affiliates (i.e., the ancillary benefits realized by an Adviser and its affiliates from the Adviser’s relationship with the Bright ETF); and (vii) possible conflicts of interest. In considering the approval of each Advisory Agreement, the Board noted that FIS, Bright and Vident would provide advisory services, sub-advisory services and trading advisory services, respectively. The Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.
The Board exercised its own business judgment in determining its conclusions and its conclusions were based on an evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to each Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service.
The Board reviewed materials provided by FIS related to the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement, including a description of its oversight of each Adviser, a review of the professional personnel who will be performing services for the Bright ETF, each Adviser’s compliance and risk management infrastructure, their respective financial strength and resources, and how they will monitor their respective investment processes and services. The Board also noted the responsibilities that FIS will have as investment adviser to the Bright ETF, including: voting proxies on behalf of the Bright ETF, the oversight of Bright and Vident (collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”) with respect to their adherence to the Bright ETF’s investment strategy and restrictions, monitoring of the Sub-Adviser’s buying and selling of securities and other transactions, reviewing the Sub-Advisers’ performance, reviewing and overseeing brokerage and general Fund compliance with federal and state laws; and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Bright ETF. The Board also considered research support available to, and management capabilities of, management personnel

of the Advisers and that the Advisers, collectively and in coordination, will provide oversight of day-to-day Fund operations, including fund accounting, tax matters, administration, compliance and legal assistance in meeting disclosure and regulatory requirements.
Additionally, the Board received satisfactory responses from the representatives of the Advisers with respect to a series of questions, including: whether each Adviser was involved in any lawsuits or pending regulatory actions; whether the management of other accounts would conflict with their management of the Bright ETF; and whether there are procedures in place to adequately allocate trades among its respective clients. The Board noted that each Adviser had reported no material compliance or litigation issues. The Board concluded that each Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreements and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services to be provided by the Advisers to the Bright ETF would be satisfactory.
Performance.
Because the Bright ETF had not commenced operations, the Board was not able to review its performance.
Fees and Expenses.
As to the costs of the services to be provided by FIS, the Board discussed the comparison of advisory fees and total operating expense data and reviewed the Bright ETF’s advisory fee, which is a unitary fee, and overall expenses compared to a peer group comprised of funds selected by FIS, each of which had similar investment objectives and faith-based strategies. The Board was aware that under the unitary fee arrangement, FIS is contractually obligated to pay the fees of the Bright ETF’s service providers including the Sub-Advisers, with the exception of FIS’s advisory fee and certain other expenses. The Board further observed that the proposed fee was within the range of peer funds provided by FIS and the other ETFs in the Trust advised by FIS. Given these considerations, the Board concluded that FIS’ proposed advisory fee was not unreasonable.
As to the costs of the services to be provided by each Sub-Adviser, the Board discussed the sub-advisory fee payable by the Adviser to Sub-Adviser pursuant to the respective Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fee to be paid by FIS to the Sub-Adviser is 50% of the net profits earned from the management fees paid by the Fund to FIS pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. The Board further acknowledged that FIS will pay the Trading Sub-Adviser at an annual rate of 0.050% on assets up to $250 million; 0.040% on assets over $250 million and less than $500 million; 0.030% on assets over $500 million, subject to a minimum annual fee of $20,000 for the first 12-months and $35,000 annually thereafter. The Board considered that the Sub-Adviser and Trading Sub-Adviser are to be paid by FIS and not by the Bright ETF. FIS confirmed to the Board that the FIS was of the opinion that the sub-advisory fees to be paid to the Sub-Adviser and Trading Sub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the anticipated quality of the services to be performed and the proposed division of services between FIS, the Sub-Adviser, and the Trading Sub-Adviser. Based on the representations of FIS, the Sub-Adviser, the Trading Sub-Adviser, and the materials provided, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fees to be paid were reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the asset projections for the Bright ETF and noted each Adviser’s position that the asset levels at which economies of scale would be achieved were unlikely to be realized in the near term. They acknowledged each Adviser’s willingness to discuss breakpoints for the Bright ETF as its size materially increased. The Board agreed to monitor and revisit this issue at the appropriate time.
Profitability. The Board considered the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to each Adviser with respect to the Bright ETF based on profitability projections and analysis prepared by each Adviser and the financial information of each Adviser provided by the Advisers to the Board. The Board recognized that FIS expected to manage the Bright ETF at a reasonable profit for the first and second year. The Board determined that the expected profitability of each Sub-Adviser, if any, was not a significant factor. After review and discussion, the Board concluded the anticipated profits from each Adviser’s relationship with the Bright ETF would not be excessive.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from the Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of each Advisory Agreement, the Board concluded that approval of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interest of the Bright ETF and its future shareholders.
