TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

 

We are pleased to present this Semi-Annual Report for TDX Independence Funds, Inc., which covers the six-month period ending November 30, 2010.

As announced on June 30, 2010, Deutsche Bank AG acquired XShares Advisors, LLC, the investment advisor to the Funds and re-branded the investment advisor as DBX Strategic Advisors LLC. The acquisition has not yet and is not expected to result in any material changes to the Funds’ investment strategies, day-to-day management of the Funds or the Funds’ fees and expenses. In anticipation of the acquisition, at an in-person meeting of the Board of Directors of the Funds held on June 29, the Board approved various agreements including the permanent advisory agreements. These agreements were approved at a joint special meeting of shareholders held on October 20.

We believe that these Funds provide convenience and clarity for investors seeking a sophisticated product in one simple investment. Over the past six months the Funds have continued to highlight the benefits of target-date investing. During the six months covered in this report, the TDX Independence 2040 ETF and the TDX Independence 2030 ETF, which have the greatest percentage allocations to equities, benefitted from strong performance in domestic and international equity markets and experienced returns based on changes in its net asset value (“NAV”) of 10.64% and 9.79%, respectively.* The TDX Independence 2020 ETF, with a more balanced allocation between equity and fixed income securities, experienced a NAV return of 8.41%*. For investors with a shorter investment horizon, the TDX Independence 2010 ETF and the TDX Independence In-Target ETF, which allocate a large percentage of assets to less volatile fixed-income securities, experienced NAV returns of 3.27% and 3.23%, respectively.*

Deutsche Bank, a leading global banking institution, has managed and operated a successful and growing platform of exchange-traded products since 2006. Our team at Deutsche Bank values the trust that you have placed in us and we look forward to meeting your investment needs by continuing to offer innovative index-driven strategies.

Very truly yours,

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

TDX Independence 2010 Exchange-Traded Fund (TDD)

The TDX Independence 2010 Exchange-Traded Fund commenced investment operations and its shares began trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) on October 1, 2007. The Fund seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Zacks 2010 Lifecycle Index.

The Zacks 2010 Lifecycle Index is an index consisting of securities from three broad asset classes: international equities, domestic equities, and fixed income that is designed to represent a diversified portfolio of securities. The Underlying Index automatically rebalances annually, or quarterly when necessary, along a “glidepath” designed to prudently maximize capital appreciation at its target date. “Glidepath” refers to the Underlying Index’s asset allocation strategy over time. Upon reaching the target date, the index will have shifted to its most conservative allocation. Over the next five years, allocations shift from conservative to moderately conservative, allowing for a larger exposure to equities than at the target date.

The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the index and therefore may or may not hold all of the securities in the index. For the six-month period ended November 30, 2010, the total return for the Fund based on changes in its net asset value was 3.27%, while the total return for the index was 3.57%.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.dbxstrategicadvisors.db.com. Investment in the fund poses investment risk including possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The gross expense ratio for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, as disclosed in the most recent prospectus dated September 28, 2010, was 2.10%. DBX Strategic Advisors LLC, the advisor to the Fund, has agreed to cap its fees and/or pay certain Fund operating expenses in order to limit Fund net annual operating expenses for shares of the Fund to 0.65% of the Fund’s average net assets until 9/30/11.

The preceding performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period(s) noted. The Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The market price return is based on the change in the market price on NYSE Arca of a share of the Fund for the period(s) indicated. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid/ask spread for Fund shares at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on NYSE Arca. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. The Dow Jones Target Date Indexes are indexes whose allocations are automatically adjusted to reduce potential risk over time. The Dow Jones Target Date Indexes are designed to measure the performance of multi-asset class portfolios that allocate among U.S. and global stock, bond and cash subindexes on a monthly basis. The indexes automatically adjust their asset allocation over time to reflect reductions in potential risk as the investor’s target date approaches.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on transactions in Fund shares.

“Target Date” refers to a time in the future, generally a specified year, in which the investor expects to retire or otherwise require the use of the invested funds. Target date funds are generally more aggressive the further the target date is from the present, with an objective of capital appreciation. As the target date approaches, the fund’s objective will generally become more conservative, aiming to achieve a higher level of capital preservation.

Investors should note that although target date funds aim to preserve capital as the target date approaches, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve this objective.

The Zacks 2020 Lifecycle Index is an index consisting of securities from three broad asset classes: international equities, domestic equities, and fixed income that is designed to represent a diversified portfolio of securities. The Underlying Index automatically rebalances annually, or quarterly when necessary, along a “glidepath” designed to prudently maximize capital appreciation at its target date. “Glidepath” refers to the Underlying Index’s asset allocation strategy over time. Gradually, the Underlying Index’s allocation among the different classes of securities will adjust from a more aggressive allocation (emphasizing greater equity exposure) to a more conservative allocation (emphasizing greater fixed income exposure) as the target date approaches. After the target date, allocations shift from conservative to more moderately conservative allocations, allowing for a larger exposure to equities than at the target date.

The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the index and therefore may or may not hold all of the securities in the index.

Investors should note that although target date funds aim to preserve capital as the target date approaches, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve this objective.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

TDX Independence 2040 Exchange-Traded Fund (TDV)

The TDX Independence 2040 Exchange-Traded Fund commenced investment operations and its shares began trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) on October 1, 2007. The Fund seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Zacks 2040 Lifecycle Index.

The Zacks 2040 Lifecycle Index is an index consisting of securities from three broad asset classes: international equities, domestic equities, and fixed income that is designed to represent a diversified portfolio of securities. The Underlying Index automatically rebalances annually, or quarterly when necessary, along a “glidepath” designed to prudently maximize capital appreciation at its target date. “Glidepath” refers to the Underlying Index’s asset allocation strategy over time. Gradually, the Underlying Index’s allocation among the different classes of securities will adjust from a more aggressive allocation (emphasizing greater equity exposure) to a more conservative allocation (emphasizing greater fixed income exposure) as the target date approaches. After the target date, allocations shift from conservative to more moderately conservative allocations, allowing for a larger exposure to equities than at the target date.

The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the index and therefore may or may not hold all of the securities in the index. For the six-month period ended November 30, 2010, the total return for the Fund based on changes in its net asset value was 10.64%, while the total return for the index was 10.80%.

1 Total returns are calculated based on the commencement of trading, 10/1/07 (“Inception”).

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.dbxstrategicadvisors.db.com. Investment in the fund poses investment risk including possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The gross expense ratio for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, as disclosed in the most recent prospectus dated September 28, 2010, was 1.97%. DBX Strategic Advisors LLC, the advisor to the Fund, has agreed to cap its fees and/or pay certain Fund operating expenses in order to limit Fund net annual operating expenses for shares of the Fund to 0.65% of the Fund’s average net assets until 9/30/11.

The preceding performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period(s) noted. The Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The market price return is based on the change in the market price on NYSE Arca of a share of the Fund for the period(s) indicated. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid/ask spread for Fund shares at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on NYSE Arca. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. The Dow Jones Target Date Indexes are indexes whose allocations are automatically adjusted to reduce potential risk over time. The Dow Jones Target Date Indexes are designed to measure the performance of multi-asset class portfolios that allocate among U.S. and global stock, bond and cash subindexes on a monthly basis. The indexes automatically adjust their asset allocation over time to reflect reductions in potential risk as the investor’s target date approaches.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on transactions in Fund shares.

“Target Date” refers to a time in the future, generally a specified year, in which the investor expects to retire or otherwise require the use of the invested funds. Target date funds are generally more aggressive the further the target date is from the present, with an objective of capital appreciation. As the target date approaches, the fund’s objective will generally become more conservative, aiming to achieve a higher level of capital preservation.

Investors should note that although target date funds aim to preserve capital as the target date approaches, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve this objective.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

TDX Independence In-Target Exchange-Traded Fund (TDX)

The TDX Independence In-Target Exchange-Traded Fund commenced investment operations and its shares began trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) on October 1, 2007. The Fund seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Zacks In-Target Lifecycle Index.

The Zacks In-Target Lifecycle Index is an index consisting of securities from three broad asset classes: international equities, domestic equities, and fixed income that is designed to represent a diversified portfolio of securities. The Underlying Index automatically rebalances annually, or quarterly when necessary, along a “glidepath” designed to prudently maximize capital appreciation at its target date. “Glidepath” refers to the Underlying Index’s asset allocation strategy over time. At inception, the index was assumed to be at its target date. Until 2012, the index will continue its shift from a conservative allocation to a moderately-conservative allocation, allowing for a larger exposure to equities.

The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the index and therefore may or may not hold all of the securities in the index. For the six-month period ended November 30, 2010, the total return for the Fund based on changes in its net asset value was 3.23%, while the total return for the index was 3.28%.

FEES AND EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the various TDX Independence ETFs (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds” or “TDX Independence Exchange-Traded Funds”), you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six month period ended November 30, 2010.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (which is not the Funds’ actual return). The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) DBX Strategic Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay Fund operating expenses (excluding, among other things, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit each Fund’s net annual operating expenses for shares of each Fund to 0.65% of the Fund’s average net assets (the “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap will remain in effect until September 30, 2011. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three fiscal years. This reimbursement may be paid to the Advisor if the aggregate amount actually paid by a Fund toward operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the Expense Cap. Ratios would have been higher if fees were not reduced by the Advisor.

(2) Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period June 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 183 days and then dividing the result by 365.

1. ORGANIZATION

TDX Independence Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on December 22, 2006 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”).

As of November 30, 2010, the following five (5) series of exchange-traded funds (“ETF”) (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds,” or “TDX Independence Exchange-Traded Funds”) were in operation and trading:

 

TDX Independence 2010 Exchange-Traded Fund    “Independence 2010 ETF”
TDX Independence 2020 Exchange-Traded Fund    “Independence 2020 ETF”
TDX Independence 2030 Exchange-Traded Fund    “Independence 2030 ETF”
TDX Independence 2040 Exchange-Traded Fund    “Independence 2040 ETF”
TDX Independence In-Target Exchange-Traded Fund    “Independence In-Target ETF”

DBX Strategic Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”) (formerly, XShares Advisors LLC) serves as investment advisor to the Funds and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Directors.

Each Fund offers shares, known as TDX Independence Target Date Shares that are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value, only in large specified lots consisting of 200,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). Zacks Investment Research (“Zacks”) is the creator of each Underlying Index. Each Underlying Index is comprised of a mix of securities from three broad asset classes: international equities, domestic equities, and fixed income which include cash, cash equivalents or short-term money market instruments. Short-term instruments include obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies or instrumentalities; commercial papers, variable amount master demand notes and other debt securities, including high quality U.S. dollar-denominated short-term bonds and notes issued by domestic and foreign corporations; variable and floating rate securities; bank obligations; repurchase agreements collateralized by these securities; and shares of other investment companies that primarily invest in any of the above-referenced securities. These Underlying Indexes are designed to reflect a portfolio of investments that can be used for lifecycle investing. Lifecycle investing is an investment technique that starts by targeting a particular investment horizon. That investment horizon corresponds to the date the investor expects to need his or her invested assets.

The underlying indexes for the TDX Independence Exchange-Traded Funds are:

 

Fund

  

Underlying Index

Independence 2010 ETF    Zacks 2010 Lifecycle Index
Independence 2020 ETF    Zacks 2020 Lifecycle Index
Independence 2030 ETF    Zacks 2030 Lifecycle Index
Independence 2040 ETF    Zacks 2040 Lifecycle Index
Independence In-Target ETF    Zacks In-Target Lifecycle Index

Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between Zacks and DBX. There is no charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

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, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Investments are valued at fair value. Any assets or securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair-value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has delegated to the Advisor the responsibility to exercise oversight in the administration of these procedures.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

The Funds are subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value and provide a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

   

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means

   

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumption in determining the fair value of investments

The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. However, the determination of what constitutes an “observable” input may require significant judgment by the Funds. The Funds consider observable inputs to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Funds’ perceived risk of that instrument.

Level 1 investments consist of active listed equities.

Level 2 investments generally include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities and investment-grade corporate bonds.

Level 3 investments may include unlisted securities related to corporate actions, securities whose trading have been suspended or which have been de-listed from their primary trading exchange and less liquid corporate debt securities. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Funds use one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach or the income approach) for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.

The inputs used by the Funds in estimating the value of investments classified as Level 3 may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 securities may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Funds in the absence of market information. The fair value measurement of Level 3 securities does not include transaction costs that may have been capitalized as part of the security’s cost basis. Assumptions used by the Funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Funds’ results of operations. There were no securities classified as Level 3 during the six month period ended November 30, 2010.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. Effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, the Funds will be required to include disclosures on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income    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 on the identified cost-method. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the lives of the respective securities.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders    It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of each Fund to pay out dividends, if any, to investors at least annually sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, Federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements for the six months ended November 30, 2010. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Funds reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital. Each Fund pays out dividends from its net investment income to investors annually. Each Fund distributes any net capital gains annually.

Expenses    Expenses that are directly related to a specific Fund are charged to that respective Fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

Foreign Currency Translation    The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using an exchange rate deemed appropriate by the investment advisor. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in securities. Unrealized gains and losses on assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, which result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates have been included in “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation” on the Statements of Operations. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuations in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade date is included in “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions” on the Statements of Operations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations.

Taxes    The Funds are subject to accounting standards that establish a minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Taxable years ended 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 remain open to federal and state audit. As of November 30, 2010, management has evaluated the application of these standards to the Funds and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for uncertain tax positions.

Cash Equivalents    The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of November 30, 2010, there were no cash equivalents.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

The Advisor has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Company, on behalf of the Funds, and the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Advisor is responsible for arranging sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other non-distribution related services for the Funds to operate. The Advisor is also responsible for employing any sampling strategy for the Funds.

For the services it provides to the Funds, the Advisor receives a unified advisory fee computed daily and payable monthly in an amount equal to 0.65% on an annualized basis of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Out of the advisory fee, the Advisor pays, or arranges for the payment of, all fees and expenses of the Sub-Advisor, Transfer Agent, the Administrator and Accounting Agent and the Custodian. Each Fund is responsible for the payment of all other expenses associated with its operation, including but not limited to, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of counsel to the Funds, fees and expenses of the Disinterested Directors (including legal counsel fees), certain out-of-pocket expenses of the Advisor or Sub-Advisor, including, but not limited to, cost of obtaining prices for security valuations (including manual broker quotes), Federal Reserve charges related to securities transactions, postage and insurance on physical transfer items, telecommunication charges, and proxy voting execution, advice and reporting etc., fees and expenses of the Chief Compliance Officer and expenses associated with the Funds’ compliance program, litigation expenses, fees and expenses of the Funds’ independent auditors, registration fees, expenses associated with compliance by the Funds with regulatory requirements, including those relating to the development and distribution of its prospectus and shareholder reports, and extraordinary expenses. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is authorized to engage one or more sub-advisors to perform any of the services contemplated to be performed by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

TDAM USA Inc. (“TDAM”) acts as investment sub-advisor to the Funds (“Sub-Advisor”). TDAM is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank. The Sub-Advisor is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Funds’ Board of Directors. In this regard, the Sub-Advisor is responsible for implementing the replication strategy for each Fund with regard to its underlying index and for general administration, compliance and management services as may be agreed between the Advisor and Sub Advisor from time to time. During the period June 1, 2010 to October 20, 2010, Amerivest Investment Management, LLC (“Amerivest”) was also a Sub-advisor. Amerivest is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation.

The Advisor pays TDAM, out of its own resources, a fee based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund as set forth below:

 

   

10 basis points (0.10%) of the first $100 million in combined daily net assets of all Funds; and

   

5 basis points (0.05%) of the combined daily net assets of all Funds in excess of $100 million.

The Advisor pays TDAM a minimum annual fee of $35,000 per Fund.

The Advisor pays all fees and expenses of TDAM, the Transfer Agent, Administrator and Accounting Agent and Custodian. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay Fund operating expenses (excluding, among other things, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit each Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap will remain in effect until September 30, 2011. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three fiscal years. This reimbursement may be paid to the Advisor if the aggregate amount actually paid by a Fund toward operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the Expense Cap. No amounts were reimbursed under this contractual arrangement during the period ended November 30, 2010.

The amounts subject to potential reimbursement to the Advisor as of November 30, 2010 were as follows:

To the extent that these loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders. The use of some portion of the capital carryforwards by any one Fund may be limited by Federal tax rules. These rules limit the use of the carryforwards when there has been a greater than fifty percent change in ownership of a Fund.

7. FUND SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of November 30, 2010, there were 12.5 billion shares of $0.0001 par value Fund shares authorized by the Company. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the relevant Fund’s underlying index and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

8. INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated the need for disclosure and/or adjustment resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosure and/or adjustment.

BOARD CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

 

Background

On June 30, 2010 (the “Closing”), XShares Group, Inc., the former parent company of the Advisor, and Deutsche Bank AG (“Deutsche Bank”) completed a transaction in which Deutsche Bank acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in the Advisor (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition constituted a change in control of the Advisor, resulting in the assignment and termination of the advisory agreement between the TDX Independence Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), on behalf of its series of five (5) underlying portfolios (each, a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”), and the Advisor and the sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and TDAM, effective June 30, 2010. Consequently, shareholders of the Company were required to approve a new investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for the Company, on behalf of each of the Funds. Subsequently, at a Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Funds held on October 20, 2010, the shareholders of the Funds voted to approve a new investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement.

Board Considerations in Approving the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

At an in-person meeting of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of TDX Independence Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 29, 2010, the Board considered the approval of (i) an interim investment advisory agreement between the Company, on behalf of its series of five (5) underlying portfolios (each, a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”), and DBX Strategic Advisors LLC (“DBX”) (the “Interim Advisory Agreement”); (ii) an interim sub-advisory agreement between DBX and Amerivest Investment Management LLC (“Amerivest”) (the “Amerivest Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement”); and (iii) an interim sub-advisory agreement between DBX and TDAM USA Inc. (“TDAM”) (the “TDAM Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement”) (collectively, the “Interim Agreements”). In addition to the Interim Agreements, the Board considered the approval of a new advisory agreement (the “New Advisory Agreement”) between the Company, on behalf of the Funds, and DBX, and a new sub-advisory agreement (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between DBX and TDAM (together, the “New Agreements”). At the June 29, 2010 meeting, the Board was asked to approve the Interim Agreements until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Funds’ shareholders approve the New Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement; or (ii) one-hundred fifty (150) days from the date of the Closing. In addition, the Board was asked to approve the New Agreements, subject to shareholder approval, for an initial term of two years, to continue in effect thereafter for successive annual periods.

In its deliberations, the Board considered and reviewed materials distributed in advance of the meeting that provided a range of information on a variety of factors, including, among other things (i) information about the duties and responsibilities of the Board in connection with its review and consideration of the Interim Agreements, New Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement; (ii) information relating to the profitability of the Advisor, Amerivest and TDAM in view of the Funds; (iii) and performance and expense ratio information in comparison to peer registered investment companies (collectively, the “15(c) Materials”). This information formed the primary, but not exclusive, basis for the Board’s determinations.

I. In determining whether to approve the Interim Advisory Agreement and New Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following information and made the conclusions as described below:

 

  (i) The nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by DBX

The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by DBX under the New Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Company. The Board considered that DBX provides, or arranges for the provision of, transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds’ operation. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience and qualifications of the senior management and key professional personnel of DBX, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management. The Board considered that DBX provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Funds and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Company’s service providers. The Board also considered that DBX pays for the compensation of officers of the Company who are also officers or employees of DBX, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board.

BOARD CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS (CONTINUED)

 

The Board evaluated these factors in consultation with Fund counsel. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by DBX under the New Advisory Agreement were reasonable and appropriate in relation to the DBX advisory fee, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of this unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds’ service providers.

In considering the Interim Advisory Agreement, the Board made a determination that the Interim Advisory Agreement generally contains the same terms and conditions as the prior advisory agreement and determined that the scope and quality of services under the Interim Advisory Agreement will be at least equivalent to the scope and quality of services under the prior advisory agreement. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by DBX, under the Interim Advisory Agreement were reasonable and appropriate in relation to the DBX advisory fee, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of this unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds’ service providers.

 

  (ii) The performance of the Funds and DBX.

The Board considered the performance of the Funds by discussing the Funds’ annualized index tracking error since the commencement of investment operations, which provides a comparison between the NAV of each Fund’s underlying index as compared to the NAV of each respective Fund. The Board determined that the Funds had tracked their respective indices within acceptable ranges since the prior advisory agreement was first approved by the Board. In connection with the assessment of the ability of DBX to perform its duties under the New Advisory Agreement, the Board considered DBX’s financial condition and whether it had the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that DBX had the financial resources necessary to perform their obligations under the New Advisory Agreement.

 

  (iii) The cost of the advisory services and the profits to DBX and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds.

The Board considered the proposed level of the advisory fee for each Fund and discussed comparative advisory fees of other comparable exchange-traded funds. The Board considered that this type of information would be useful in assessing whether DBX would be providing services at a cost that was competitive with other exchange-traded funds. The Board concluded that the contract rate advisory fee and total fund expenses for each of the Funds were reasonable, but noted that the advisory fees charged by the Funds were higher than the advisory fees typically charged by the other exchange-traded funds. In concluding that the advisory fees and fund expenses were reasonable, the Board considered the Company’s innovative and unique investment process. In assessing this information, the Directors considered both the gross fees as well as the level of fees after waivers and/or reimbursements.

In evaluating the costs of the services to be provided by DBX under the Interim Advisory Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement and the profitability of DBX, the Board considered, among other things, that the Interim Advisory Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement generally contain the same terms and conditions as the prior advisory agreement, and that the contractual advisory fee rate payable under each of the Interim Advisory Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement, is identical to the contractual advisory fee rate payable under the prior advisory agreement. The Board further noted that the unitary management fee arrangements would not change as a result of the Acquisition.

 

  (iv) The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale.

The Board considered whether economies of scale would be realized by the Funds at higher asset levels. The Board also assessed whether certain costs would increase if asset levels rise. The Board concluded that under foreseeable conditions, they were unable to assess at this time whether economies of scale would be realized if the Funds were to experience significant growth. In the event there were to be significant asset growth in the Funds, the Board determined to reassess whether the advisory fees appropriately took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as a result of that growth.

 

  (v) Other factors.

The Board also considered DBX’s ability to achieve economies of scale through its existing platform serviced by The Bank of New York Mellon, and its commitment to maintain the Expense Cap through September 30, 2011.

BOARD CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS (CONTINUED)

 

II. In determining whether to approve the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements with TDAM and Amerivest and New Sub-Advisory Agreement with TDAM, the Board considered the following information and made the conclusions as described below:

 

  (i) The nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by TDAM.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of services that TDAM provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed presentations it had received from TDAM at meetings held on July 23, 2009 and November 2, 2009, relating to the staffing, management, organizational structure and investment philosophy and processes of TDAM. The Board specifically reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by TDAM under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation of certain reports on behalf of the Company. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience and qualifications of the senior management and key professional personnel of TDAM, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management.

The Board also considered TDAM’s operational capabilities and resources, and its experience in serving as an investment sub-advisor to the Funds. The Board considered the professional experience and qualifications of TDAM’s senior management and key professional personnel, as well as TDAM’s depth and breadth of experience in managing investment portfolios consisting of both equity and fixed income securities. More particularly, the Board considered TDAM’s robust operational capabilities and resources, and TDAM’s experience in managing index funds covering such asset classes as Canadian, U.S. and global equities, as well as Canadian and global fixed income. The Board noted that TDAM manages its equity and fixed income portfolios using both full replication and sampling techniques and maintains strict discipline in the implementation of its indexing strategies. To that end, the Board noted that when there are changes to a benchmark index, TDAM closely monitors any such changes to devise strategies to realign its portfolios at the lowest possible cost while tracking the respective benchmark index. The Board also noted TDAM’s effective trading processes to ensure low-cost trading across all portfolios.

The Board evaluated these factors in consultation with Fund counsel. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by TDAM, in view of the Funds under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to TDAM, taking special consideration of the fact that the fees to be paid to TDAM under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement are payable by DBX, and not by the Funds.

In considering the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement with Amerivest, the Board considered Amerivest’s operational capabilities and resources, and its experience in serving as an investment sub-advisor to the Funds since the Funds commenced investment operations on October 1, 2007. The Board also considered Amerivest’s role as an investment sub-advisor in providing oversight over TDAM, including reviewing the portfolio of securities of each Fund in accordance with the terms of the Funds’ registration statement, assistance in the resolution of any pricing issues and assistance in the development of trading strategies. The Board also considered Amerivest’s experience in coordinating with TDAM to keep the Board fully informed on an ongoing basis of all material facts concerning the investment and reinvestment of the assets of each Fund and the operations of Amerivest and TDAM, and its experience in providing reasonable assistance to other service providers in managing the Funds.

In considering the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board made a determination that the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements generally contain the same terms and conditions as the prior sub-advisory agreements and determined that the scope and quality of services under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements will be at least equivalent to the scope and quality of services under the prior sub-advisory agreements. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Amerivest and TDAM to the Funds under Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively, were reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to Amerivest and TDAM, respectively, taking special consideration of the fact that the fees to be paid to Amerivest and TDAM under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements are payable by DBX, and not by the Funds.

 

  (ii) The performance of the Funds and TDAM.

The Board considered the performance of the Funds by discussing the Funds’ annualized index tracking error since the commencement of investment operations, which provides a comparison between the level of each Fund’s underlying index as

compared to the NAV of each respective Fund. The Board determined that the Funds had tracked their respective indices within acceptable ranges since the prior sub-advisory agreement was first approved by the Board. In connection with the assessment of the ability of TDAM to perform its duties under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered whether TDAM has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that TDAM had the financial resources necessary to perform their obligations under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

In connection with the assessment of the ability of Amerivest to perform its duties under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered whether Amerivest has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that Amerivest had the financial resources necessary to perform their obligations under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement

 

  (iii) The cost of the advisory services and the profits to TDAM and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds.

The Board considered the proposed level of the advisory fee for each Fund and discussed comparative advisory fees of other comparable exchange-traded funds. The Board considered that this type of information would be useful in assessing whether TDAM would be providing services at a cost that was competitive with other exchange-traded funds. The Board further considered that the New Sub-Advisory Agreement generally contains the same terms and conditions as the prior sub-advisory agreement, and that the contractual sub-advisory fee rate payable under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is identical to the contractual advisory fee rate payable under the prior sub-advisory agreement. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate payable under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, like the contractual advisory fee rates payable under the prior sub-advisory agreement, is payable by DBX, and not by the Funds. The Board further noted that the unified management fee arrangements would not change as a result of the Transaction.

In evaluating the costs of the services to be provided by Amerivest and TDAM under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements, and the cost of services to be provided by TDAM under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the profitability of TDAM, the Board considered, among other things, that the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement generally contains the same terms and conditions as the prior sub-advisory agreement. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate payable under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements (with respect to Amerivest and TDAM) and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, like the contractual advisory fee rates payable under the prior sub-advisory agreements (with respect to Amerivest and TDAM), is payable by DBX, and not by the Funds.

 

  (iv) The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale.

The Board considered whether economies of scale would be realized by the Funds at higher asset levels. The Board also assessed whether certain costs would increase if asset levels rise. The Board concluded that under foreseeable conditions, they were unable to assess at this time whether economies of scale would be realized if the Funds were to experience significant growth. In the event there were to be significant asset growth in the Funds, the Board determined to reassess whether the advisory fees appropriately took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as a result of that growth.

 

  (v) Other factors.

The Board also considered whether Amerivest or TDAM would benefit in other ways from its relationship with the Funds, noting that neither Amerivest nor TDAM presently participate in any soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Funds’ brokerage transactions.

PROXY RESULTS (UNAUDITED)

 

On October 20, 2010, a Joint Special Meeting of shareholders was held at the offices of the Advisor to approve a new investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Funds and DBX, a new investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between DBX and TDAM, and to elect directors to the Board of TDX Independence Funds Inc.

The old investment advisory agreement between TDX Independence Funds, Inc. and XShares Advisors LLC (the former name of DBX prior to its acquisition by Deutsche Bank AG) and the old sub-advisory agreement between XShares Advisors LLC and TDAM both terminated according to their terms upon the change in control of XShares Advisors LLC on June 30, 2010. After careful consideration of possible alternatives to DBX and to TDAM, the Directors, including a majority of Directors who are not “interested persons”, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), of TDX Independence Funds, Inc. approved, subject to shareholder approval, the Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which DBX would continue as investment advisor to the Funds, and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which TDAM would remain as investment sub-advisor to the Funds. In both instances, the terms and conditions of the new agreements are essentially identical to those in the prior agreements.

In connection with the sale of the Advisor to Deutsche Bank, Jeffrey Feldman, Chief Executive Officer of the Advisor’s former parent company, XShares Group, Inc., resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors. The Board appointed Hans Ephraimson, Chief Executive Officer of the Advisor, to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Feldman’s departure. Shareholders were asked to consider and vote on the election of the current Directors so that the entire Board would be approved by Fund shareholders.

At the joint special meeting of October 20, 2010, the Shareholders of the Funds approved all three proposals.

VOTING INFORMATION

Approval of the proposals required the affirmative vote of a “majority of outstanding securities” (as defined in the Act) of each Fund, which means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1) the holders of 67% or more of the shares represented at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the Shares of the Fund are represented at the meeting, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

For the first two proposals, abstentions and broker non-votes were counted as shares present at each meeting for quorum purposes but were not voted for or against either proposal. Accordingly, these were effectively votes AGAINST these proposals, because they each required the affirmative vote of a majority of each Fund’s outstanding shares.

This report is intended for the shareholders of the TDX Independence Exchange-Traded Funds (“TDX Independence ETFs”). It may not be distributed to prospective Investors unless it is preceded or accompanied by the current prospectus.

An Investor should consider the fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. For this and more complete information about the fund call 877-369-4617 or visit the website www.dbxstrategicadvisors.db.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

There are risks involved with investing in exchange-traded funds including possible loss of money. TDX Independence ETFs are not actively managed and are subject to risks similar to stocks, including those related to short selling and margin maintenance. Losses from short sales may be unlimited, and losses from purchases on margin may exceed original investment.

Investments in small and medium capitalization companies will be subject to higher volatility than larger, more established companies.

Investments in foreign securities will be subject to certain risks not associated with domestic securities, such as currency fluctuations, and changes in political and economic conditions.

Investments in fixed income securities will be subject to certain risks as well. The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the credit risk of individual issuers. Generally, fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise, and the volatility of lower rated securities is even greater than that of higher rated securities.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses.

The prospectus is not an offer to buy or sell the portfolio shares, nor is the fund soliciting an offer to buy its shares in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

TDX Independence ETFs are distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc., member of FINRA, which is neither affiliated with TDX Independence Funds, Inc. or any other affiliate, nor is it affiliated with The Bank of New York Mellon, Amerivest Investment Management, LLC, or TDAM USA Inc.

“Target Date” refers to a time in the future, generally a specified year, in which the investor expects to retire or otherwise require the use of the invested funds. Target date funds are generally more aggressive the further the target date is from the present, with an objective of capital appreciation. As the target date approaches, the fund’s objective will generally become more conservative, aiming to achieve a higher level of capital preservation.

Investors should note that although target date funds aim to preserve capital as the target date approaches, there is no guarantee that the fund will achieve this objective.
