EXPENSES
(Unaudited)

Semiannual
Report
2023

As
a
shareholder
of
a
Fund,
you
incur
ongoing
costs,
including
investment
management
fees.
The
following
example
is
intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars
and
cents)
of
investing
in
a
fund
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
other
funds.
The
examples
are
based
on
an
initial
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
period
and
held
for
the
period
ended
September
30,
2023.
Actual
Expenses
The
information
under
each
column
in
the
table
below
entitled
“Actual”
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
You
may
use
the
information
in
these
columns,
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
for
your
Fund
under
the
heading
entitled
“Expenses
paid
for
the
period”
to
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
on
your
account
during
this
period.
Hypothetical
Example
For
Comparison
Purposes
The
information
under
each
column
in
the
table
entitled
“Hypothetical”
provides
information
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
each
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
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
your
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
table
are
meant
to
highlight
your
ongoing
costs
only
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs,
such
as
brokerage
commissions
paid
on
purchases
and
sales
of
Fund
shares.
Therefore,
the
ending
account
values
and
expenses
paid
for
the
period
in
the
table
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
Fund
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.
Expenses
are
calculated
using
the
Fund’s
annualized
expense
ratio,
multiplied
by
the
average
account
value
over
the
period,
then
multiplied
by
the
number
of
days
in
the
Fund’s
most
recent
fiscal
half-year
and
divided
by
366.
Had
the
Investment
Manager
not
waived
fees
or
reimbursed
a
portion
of
expenses
for
Columbia
Emerging
Markets
Consumer
ETF
and
Columbia
India
Consumer
ETF,
account
values
at
the
end
of
the
period
would
have
been
reduced.

Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
categorizes
its
fair
value
measurements
according
to
a
three-level
hierarchy
that
maximizes
the
use
of
observable
inputs
and
minimizes
the
use
of
unobservable
inputs
by
prioritizing
that
the
most
observable
input
be
used
when
available.
Observable
inputs
are
those
that
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
an
investment
based
on
market
data
obtained
from
sources
independent
of
the
reporting
entity.
Unobservable
inputs
are
those
that
reflect
the
Fund’s
assumptions
about
the
information
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
an
investment.
An
investment’s
level
within
the
fair
value
hierarchy
is
based
on
the
lowest
level
of
any
input
that
is
deemed
significant
to
the
asset's
or
liability’s
fair
value
measurement.
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
investments
at
that
level.
For
example,
certain
U.S.
government
securities
are
generally
high
quality
and
liquid,
however,
they
are
reflected
as
Level
2
because
the
inputs
used
to
determine
fair
value
may
not
always
be
quoted
prices
in
an
active
market.
Fair
value
inputs
are
summarized
in
the
three
broad
levels
listed
below:
Level
1
Valuations
based
on
quoted
prices
for
investments
in
active
markets
that
the
Fund
has
the
ability
to
access
at
the
measurement
date.
Valuation
adjustments
are
not
applied
to
Level
1
investments.
Level
2
Valuations
based
on
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
securities,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speeds,
credit
risks,
etc.).
Level
3
Valuations
based
on
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund’s
own
assumptions
and
judgment
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments).
Inputs
that
are
used
in
determining
fair
value
of
an
investment
may
include
price
information,
credit
data,
volatility
statistics,
and
other
factors.
These
inputs
can
be
either
observable
or
unobservable.
The
availability
of
observable
inputs
can
vary
between
investments,
and
is
affected
by
various
factors
such
as
the
type
of
investment,
and
the
volume
and
level
of
activity
for
that
investment
or
similar
investments
in
the
marketplace.
The
inputs
will
be
considered
by
the
Investment
Manager,
along
with
any
other
relevant
factors
in
the
calculation
of
an
investment’s
fair
value.
The
Fund
uses
prices
and
inputs
that
are
current
as
of
the
measurement
date,
which
may
include
periods
of
market
dislocations.
During
these
periods,
the
availability
of
prices
and
inputs
may
be
reduced
for
many
investments.
This
condition
could
cause
an
investment
to
be
reclassified
between
the
various
levels
within
the
hierarchy.

Fair
Value
Measurements
(continued)
Investments
falling
into
the
Level
3
category
are
primarily
supported
by
quoted
prices
from
brokers
and
dealers
participating
in
the
market
for
those
investments.
However,
these
may
be
classified
as
Level
3
investments
due
to
lack
of
market
transparency
and
corroboration
to
support
these
quoted
prices.
Additionally,
valuation
models
may
be
used
as
the
pricing
source
for
any
remaining
investments
classified
as
Level
3.
These
models
may
rely
on
one
or
more
significant
unobservable
inputs
and/or
significant
assumptions
by
the
Investment
Manager.
Inputs
used
in
valuations
may
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
financial
statement
analysis,
capital
account
balances,
discount
rates
and
estimated
cash
flows,
and
comparable
company
data.
The
Fund's
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board)
has
designated
the
Investment
Manager,
through
its
Valuation
Committee
(the
Committee),
as
valuation
designee,
responsible
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
the
assets
of
the
Fund
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
using
valuation
procedures
approved
by
the
Board.
The
Committee
consists
of
voting
and
non-voting
members
from
various
groups
within
the
Investment
Manager's
organization,
including
operations
and
accounting,
trading
and
investments,
compliance,
risk
management
and
legal.
The
Committee
meets
at
least
monthly
to
review
and
approve
valuation
matters,
which
may
include
a
description
of
specific
valuation
determinations,
data
regarding
pricing
information
received
from
approved
pricing
vendors
and
brokers
and
the
results
of
Board-approved
valuation
policies
and
procedures
(the
Policies).
The
Policies
address,
among
other
things,
instances
when
market
quotations
are
or
are
not
readily
available,
including
recommendations
of
third
party
pricing
vendors
and
a
determination
of
appropriate
pricing
methodologies;
events
that
require
specific
valuation
determinations
and
assessment
of
fair
value
techniques;
securities
with
a
potential
for
stale
pricing,
including
those
that
are
illiquid,
restricted,
or
in
default;
and
the
effectiveness
of
third-party
pricing
vendors,
including
periodic
reviews
of
vendors.
The
Committee
meets
more
frequently,
as
needed,
to
discuss
additional
valuation
matters,
which
may
include
the
need
to
review
back-testing
results,
review
time-
sensitive
information
or
approve
related
valuation
actions.
Representatives
of
Columbia
Management
Investment
Advisers,
LLC
report
to
the
Board
at
each
of
its
regularly
scheduled
meetings
to
discuss
valuation
matters
and
actions
during
the
period,
similar
to
those
described
earlier.

Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
categorizes
its
fair
value
measurements
according
to
a
three-level
hierarchy
that
maximizes
the
use
of
observable
inputs
and
minimizes
the
use
of
unobservable
inputs
by
prioritizing
that
the
most
observable
input
be
used
when
available.
Observable
inputs
are
those
that
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
an
investment
based
on
market
data
obtained
from
sources
independent
of
the
reporting
entity.
Unobservable
inputs
are
those
that
reflect
the
Fund’s
assumptions
about
the
information
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
an
investment.
An
investment’s
level
within
the
fair
value
hierarchy
is
based
on
the
lowest
level
of
any
input
that
is
deemed
significant
to
the
asset's
or
liability’s
fair
value
measurement.
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
investments
at
that
level.
For
example,
certain
U.S.
government
securities
are
generally
high
quality
and
liquid,
however,
they
are
reflected
as
Level
2
because
the
inputs
used
to
determine
fair
value
may
not
always
be
quoted
prices
in
an
active
market.
Fair
value
inputs
are
summarized
in
the
three
broad
levels
listed
below:
Level
1
Valuations
based
on
quoted
prices
for
investments
in
active
markets
that
the
Fund
has
the
ability
to
access
at
the
measurement
date.
Valuation
adjustments
are
not
applied
to
Level
1
investments.
Level
2
Valuations
based
on
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
securities,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speeds,
credit
risks,
etc.).
Level
3
Valuations
based
on
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund’s
own
assumptions
and
judgment
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments).
Inputs
that
are
used
in
determining
fair
value
of
an
investment
may
include
price
information,
credit
data,
volatility
statistics,
and
other
factors.
These
inputs
can
be
either
observable
or
unobservable.
The
availability
of
observable
inputs
can
vary
between
investments,
and
is
affected
by
various
factors
such
as
the
type
of
investment,
and
the
volume
and
level
of
activity
for
that
investment
or
similar
investments
in
the
marketplace.
The
inputs
will
be
considered
by
the
Investment
Manager,
along
with
any
other
relevant
factors
in
the
calculation
of
an
investment’s
fair
value.
The
Fund
uses
prices
and
inputs
that
are
current
as
of
the
measurement
date,
which
may
include
periods
of
market
dislocations.
During
these
periods,
the
availability
of
prices
and
inputs
may
be
reduced
for
many
investments.
This
condition
could
cause
an
investment
to
be
reclassified
between
the
various
levels
within
the
hierarchy.
Investments
falling
into
the
Level
3
category
are
primarily
supported
by
quoted
prices
from
brokers
and
dealers
participating
in
the
market
for
those
investments.
However,
these
may
be
classified
as
Level
3
investments
due
to
lack
of
market
transparency
and
corroboration
to
support
these
quoted
prices.
Additionally,
valuation
models
may
be
used
as
the
pricing
source
for
any
remaining
investments
classified
as
Level
3.
These
models
may
rely
on
one
or
more
significant
unobservable
inputs
and/or
significant
assumptions
by
the
Investment
Manager.
Inputs
used
in
valuations
may
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
financial
statement
analysis,
capital
account
balances,
discount
rates
and
estimated
cash
flows,
and
comparable
company
data.

Fair
Value
Measurements
(continued)
The
Fund's
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board)
has
designated
the
Investment
Manager,
through
its
Valuation
Committee
(the
Committee),
as
valuation
designee,
responsible
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
the
assets
of
the
Fund
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
using
valuation
procedures
approved
by
the
Board.
The
Committee
consists
of
voting
and
non-voting
members
from
various
groups
within
the
Investment
Manager's
organization,
including
operations
and
accounting,
trading
and
investments,
compliance,
risk
management
and
legal.
The
Committee
meets
at
least
monthly
to
review
and
approve
valuation
matters,
which
may
include
a
description
of
specific
valuation
determinations,
data
regarding
pricing
information
received
from
approved
pricing
vendors
and
brokers
and
the
results
of
Board-approved
valuation
policies
and
procedures
(the
Policies).
The
Policies
address,
among
other
things,
instances
when
market
quotations
are
or
are
not
readily
available,
including
recommendations
of
third
party
pricing
vendors
and
a
determination
of
appropriate
pricing
methodologies;
events
that
require
specific
valuation
determinations
and
assessment
of
fair
value
techniques;
securities
with
a
potential
for
stale
pricing,
including
those
that
are
illiquid,
restricted,
or
in
default;
and
the
effectiveness
of
third-party
pricing
vendors,
including
periodic
reviews
of
vendors.
The
Committee
meets
more
frequently,
as
needed,
to
discuss
additional
valuation
matters,
which
may
include
the
need
to
review
back-testing
results,
review
time-
sensitive
information
or
approve
related
valuation
actions.
Representatives
of
Columbia
Management
Investment

report
to
the
Board
at
each
of
its
regularly

Fair

Measurements
The

categorizes
its
fair

measurements
according
to
a
three-level
hierarchy
that
maximizes
the
use
of
observable
inputs
and
minimizes
the

by
prioritizing
that
the
most
observable

be

Observable
inputs
are
those
that
market
participants
would
use
in

an
investment
based
on
market
data
obtained
from
sources
independent
of
the

Unobservable
inputs
are
those
that
reflect
the
Fund’s
assumptions
about
the
information
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
an
investment.
An
investment’s
level
within
the
fair
value
hierarchy
is
based
on
the
lowest
level
of
any
input
that
is
deemed
significant
to
the
asset's
or
liability’s
fair
value
measurement.
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
investments
at
that
level.
For
example,
certain
U.S.
government
securities
are
generally
high
quality
and
liquid,
however,
they
are
reflected
as
Level
2
because
the
inputs
used
to
determine
fair
value
may
not
always
be
quoted
prices
in
an
active
market.
Fair

inputs
are

Fair
Value
Measurements
(continued)
Level
3
Valuations
based
on
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund’s
own
assumptions
and
judgment
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments).
Inputs
that
are
used
in
determining
fair
value
of
an
investment
may
include
price
information,
credit
data,
volatility
statistics,
and
other
factors.
These
inputs
can
be
either
observable
or
unobservable.
The
availability
of
observable
inputs
can
vary
between
investments,
and
is
affected
by
various
factors
such
as
the
type
of
investment,
and
the
volume
and
level
of
activity
for
that
investment
or
similar
investments
in
the
marketplace.
The
inputs
will
be
considered
by
the
Investment
Manager,
along
with
any
other
relevant
factors
in
the
calculation
of
an
investment’s
fair
value.
The
Fund
uses
prices
and
inputs
that
are
current
as
of
the
measurement
date,
which
may
include
periods
of
market
dislocations.
During
these
periods,
the
availability
of
prices
and
inputs
may
be
reduced
for
many
investments.
This
condition
could
cause
an
investment
to
be
reclassified
between
the
various
levels
within
the
hierarchy.
Investments
falling
into
the
Level
3
category
are
primarily
supported
by
quoted
prices
from
brokers
and
dealers
participating
in
the
market
for
those
investments.
However,
these
may
be
classified
as
Level
3
investments
due
to
lack
of
market
transparency
and
corroboration
to
support
these
quoted
prices.
Additionally,
valuation
models
may
be
used
as
the
pricing
source
for
any
remaining
investments
classified
as
Level
3.
These
models
may
rely
on
one
or
more
significant
unobservable
inputs
and/or
significant
assumptions
by
the
Investment
Manager.
Inputs
used
in
valuations
may
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
financial
statement
analysis,
capital
account
balances,
discount
rates
and
estimated
cash
flows,
and
comparable
company
data.
The
Fund's
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board)
has
designated
the
Investment
Manager,
through
its
Valuation
Committee
(the
Committee),
as
valuation
designee,
responsible
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
the
assets
of
the
Fund
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
using
valuation
procedures
approved
by
the
Board.
The
Committee
consists
of
voting
and
non-voting
members
from
various
groups
within
the
Investment
Manager's
organization,
including
operations
and
accounting,
trading
and
investments,
compliance,
risk
management
and
legal.
The
Committee
meets
at
least
monthly
to
review
and
approve
valuation
matters,
which
may
include
a
description
of
specific
valuation
determinations,
data
regarding
pricing
information
received
from
approved
pricing
vendors
and
brokers
and
the
results
of
Board-approved
valuation
policies
and
procedures
(the
Policies).
The
Policies
address,
among
other
things,
instances
when
market
quotations
are
or
are
not
readily
available,
including
recommendations
of
third
party
pricing
vendors
and
a
determination
of
appropriate
pricing
methodologies;
events
that
require
specific
valuation
determinations
and
assessment
of
fair
value
techniques;
securities
with
a
potential
for
stale
pricing,
including
those
that
are
illiquid,
restricted,
or
in
default;
and
the
effectiveness
of
third-party
pricing
vendors,
including
periodic
reviews
of
vendors.
The
Committee
meets
more
frequently,
as
needed,
to
discuss
additional
valuation
matters,
which
may
include
the
need
to
review
back-testing
results,
review
time-
sensitive
information
or
approve
related
valuation
actions.
Representatives
of
Columbia
Management
Investment
Advisers,
LLC
report
to
the
Board
at
each
of
its
regularly
scheduled
meetings
to
discuss
valuation
matters
and
actions
during
the
period,
similar
to
those
described
earlier.

The
following
tables
are
intended
to
help
you
understand
each
Fund’s
financial
performance.
Per
share
net
investment
income
(loss)
amounts
are
calculated
based
on
average
shares
outstanding
during
the
period.
Total
return
assumes
reinvestment
of
all
dividends
and
distributions,
if
any.
Total
Return
at
NAV
is
calculated
assuming
an
initial
investment
made
at
the
net
asset
value
at
the
beginning
of
the
period,
reinvestment
of
all
dividends
and
distributions
at
net
asset
value
during
the
period
and
redemption
on
the
last
day
of
the
period.
Total
Return
at
Market
is
calculated
assuming
an
initial
investment
made
at
the
market
price
at
the
beginning
of
the
period,
reinvestment
of
all
dividends
and
distributions
at
market
price
during
the
period
and
redemption
on
the
last
day
of
the
period.
The
total
return
would
have
been
lower
if
certain
expenses
had
not
been
reimbursed/waived
by
the
Investment
Manager.
Through
July
31,
2020,
Market
Price
returns
are
based
on
the
midpoint
of
the
bid/ask
spread
for
Fund
shares
at
market
close
(typically
4
pm
ET).
Beginning
with
August
31,
2020
month-end
performance,
Market
Price
returns
are
based
on
closing
prices
reported
by
the
Fund's
primary
listing
exchange
(typically
4
pm
ET
close).
These
returns
do
not
represent
the
returns
an
investor
would
receive
if
shares
were
traded
at
other
times.
Total
return
and
portfolio
turnover
are
not
annualized
for
periods
of
less
than
one
year.
The
ratios
of
expenses
and
net
investment
income
are
annualized
for
periods
of
less
than
one
year.
The
portfolio
turnover
rate
is
calculated
without
regard
to
purchase
and
sales
transactions
of
short-term
instruments,
certain
derivatives
and
in-kind
transactions,
if
any.
If
such
transactions
were
included,
the
Fund’s
portfolio
turnover
rate
may
be
higher.

located
in
the
Republic
of
Mauritius
(Mauritius).
All

have

As
of
the

invests
in
Indian

both
directly
(in
India),
and
through
its
corresponding
Subsidiary,
which
in
turn
invests
virtually
all
of
its
assets
in
Indian
securities.
Columbia
India
Consumer
ETF
and
its
Subsidiary
have
historically
relied
on
a
tax
treaty
between
India
and
Mauritius
for
relief
from
certain
Indian
taxes.
The
enactment
of
general
anti-avoidance
rules
in
India,
the
signing
of
a
protocol
amending
the
India-Mauritius
tax
treaty,
and
enactment
of
a
10%
tax
on
long-term
capital
gains
from
the
alienation
of
Indian
shares
after
March
31,
2018
(not
otherwise
exempt
under
a
tax
treaty)
have
resulted
in
the
imposition
of
additional
taxes
by
India
on
Columbia

ETF
and
its
Subsidiary.

A
summary
of
Columbia
India
Consumer
ETF’s
investment
in
the
Subsidiary
is
as
follows:
Fund
shares
The
market
prices
of
each
Fund’s
shares
may
differ
to
some
degree
from
the
Fund’s
net
asset
value
(NAV).
Unlike
conventional
mutual
funds,
each
Fund
issues
and
redeems
shares
on
a
continuous
basis,
at
NAV,
only
in
a
large
specified
number
of
shares,
each
called
a
“Creation
Unit.”
A
Creation
Unit
consists
of
50,000
shares.
Creation
Units
are
issued
and
redeemed
generally
in-kind
for
a
basket
of
securities
and/or
for
cash.
Investors
such
as
market
makers,
large
investors
and
institutions
who
wish
to
deal
in
Creation
Units
directly
with
a
Fund
must
have
entered
into
an
authorized
participant
agreement
(Authorized
Participants)
with
the
Fund’s
principal
underwriter
and
the
transfer
agent,
or
purchase
through
a
dealer
that
has
entered
into
such
an
agreement.
Authorized
participants
may
purchase
or
redeem
Fund
shares
directly
from
the
Fund
only
in
Creation
Units.
The
Funds’
shares
are
also
listed
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
for
which
investors
can
purchase
and
sell
shares
on
the
secondary
market
through
a
broker
at

prices
which
may
differ
from
the

of

the
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies
followed
by
the
Funds
in
the
preparation
of
their
financial
statements.
Security
valuation
Equity
securities
listed
on
an
exchange
are
valued
at
the
closing
price
or
last
trade
price
on
their
primary
exchange
at
the
close
of
business
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange.
Securities
with
a
closing
price
not
readily
available
or
not
listed
on
any
exchange
are
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
closing
bid
and
ask
prices.
Listed
preferred
stocks
convertible
into
common
stocks
are
valued
using
an
evaluated
price
from
a
pricing
service.
Foreign
equity
securities
are
valued
based
on
the
closing
price
or
last
trade
price
on
their
primary
exchange
at
the
close
of
business
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange.
If
any
foreign
equity
security
closing
prices
are
not
readily
available,
the
securities
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
latest
quoted
bid
and
ask
prices
on
such
exchanges
or
markets.
Foreign
currency
exchange
rates
are
generally
determined
at
the
close
of
London’s
exchange
at
11:00
a.m.
Eastern
(U.S.)
time.
Investments
in
open-end
investment
companies
(other
than
exchange-traded
funds
(ETFs)),
are
valued
at
the
latest
net
asset
value
reported
by
those
companies
as
of
the
valuation
time.
Investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available,
or
that
have
quotations
which
management
believes
are
not
reflective
of
market
value
or
reliable,
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
under
procedures
approved
by
the
Board
of
Trustees.
If
a
security
or
class
of
securities
(such
as
foreign
securities)
is
valued
at
fair
value,
such
value
is
likely
to
be
different
from
the
quoted
or
published
price
for
the
security,
if
available.
The
determination
of
fair
value
often
requires
significant
judgment.
To
determine
fair
value,
management
may
use
assumptions
including
but
not
limited
to
future
cash
flows
and
estimated
risk
premiums.
Multiple
inputs
from
various
sources
may
be
used
to
determine
fair
value.
GAAP
requires
disclosure
regarding
the
inputs
and
valuation
techniques
used
to
measure
fair
value
and
any
changes
in
valuation
inputs
or
techniques.
In
addition,
investments
shall
be
disclosed
by
major
category.
This
information
is
disclosed
following
the
Funds’
Portfolio
of
Investments.
Foreign
currency
transactions
and
translations
The
values
of
all
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
generally
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
exchange
rates
determined
at
the
close
of
the
London
Stock
Exchange
on
any
given
day.
Net
realized
and
unrealized
gains
(losses)
on
foreign
currency
transactions
and
translations
include
gains
(losses)
arising
from
the
fluctuation
in
exchange
rates
between
trade
and
settlement
dates
on
securities
transactions,
gains
(losses)
arising
from
the
disposition
of
foreign
currency
and
currency
gains
(losses)
between
the
accrual
and
payment
dates
on
dividends,
interest
income
and
foreign
withholding
taxes.
For
financial
statement
purposes,
the
Funds
do
not
distinguish
that
portion
of
gains
(losses)
on
investments
which
is
due
to
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
that
which
is
due
to
changes
in
market
prices
of
the
investments.
Such
fluctuations
are
included
with
the
net
realized
and
unrealized
gains
(losses)
on
investments
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Security
transactions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
the
trade
date.
Cost
is
determined
and
gains
(losses)
are
based
upon
the
specific
identification
method
for
both
financial
statement
and
federal
income
tax
purposes.
Income
recognition
Corporate
actions
and
dividend
income
are
generally
recorded
net
of
any
non-reclaimable
tax
withholdings,
on
the
ex-
dividend
date
or
upon
receipt
of
an
ex-dividend
notification
in
the
case
of
certain
foreign
securities.

Interest
income
is
recorded
on
an
accrual
basis.
Awards
from
class
action
litigation
are
recorded
as
a
reduction
of
cost
basis
if
the
Fund
still
owns
the
applicable
securities
on
the
payment
date.
If
the
Fund
no
longer
owns
the
applicable
securities
on
the
payment
date,
the
proceeds
are
recorded
as
realized
gains.
Expenses
General
expenses
of
the
Trust
are
allocated
to
the
Funds
based
upon
relative
net
assets
or
other
expense
allocation
methodologies
determined
by
the
nature
of
the
expense.
Expenses
directly
attributable
to
a
Fund
are
charged
to
that
Fund.
Determination
of
net
asset
value
The
net
asset
value
per
share
of
each
Fund
is
computed
by
dividing
the
value
of
the
net
assets
of
a
Fund
by
the
total
number
of
outstanding
shares
of
that
Fund,
rounded
to
the
nearest
cent,
at
the
close
of
regular
trading
(ordinarily
4:00
p.m.
Eastern
Time)
every
day
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
is
open.
Federal
income
tax
status
For
federal
income
tax
purposes,
each
Fund
is
treated
as
a
separate
entity.
The
Funds
intend
to
qualify
each
year
as
separate
regulated
investment
companies
under
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code,
as
amended,
and
will
distribute
substantially
all
of
their
investment
company
taxable
income
and
net
capital
gain,
if
any,
for
their
tax
year,
and
as
such
will
not
be
subject
to
federal
income
taxes.
In
addition,
the
Funds
intend
to
distribute
in
each
calendar
year
substantially
all
of
their
ordinary
income,
capital
gain
net
income
and
certain
other
amounts,
if
any,
such
that
the
Funds
should
not
be
subject
to
federal
excise
tax.
Therefore,
no
federal
income
or
excise
tax
provisions
are
recorded.
Foreign
taxes
The
Funds
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxes
on
income,
gains
on
investments
or
currency
repatriation,
a
portion
of
which
may
be
recoverable.
The
Fund
will
accrue
such
taxes
and
recoveries,
as
applicable,
based
upon
its
current
interpretation
of
tax
rules
and
regulations
that
exist
in
the
markets
in
which
it
invests.
Realized
gains
in
certain
countries
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxes
at
the
Fund
level,
based
on
statutory
rates.
The
Fund
accrues
for
such
foreign
taxes
on
realized
and
unrealized
gains
at
the
appropriate
rate
for
each
jurisdiction,
as
applicable.
The
amount,
if
any,
is
disclosed
as
a
liability
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Distributions
to
shareholders
Distributions
from
net
investment
income,
if
any,
are
declared
and
paid
annually.
Net
realized
capital
gains,
if
any,
are
distributed
at
least
annually.
Income
distributions
and
capital
gain
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
GAAP.
Guarantees
and
indemnifications
Under
the
Trust’s
organizational
documents
and,
in
some
cases,
by
contract,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust
or
its
funds.
In
addition,
certain
of
the
Funds’
contracts
with
their
service
providers
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Funds’
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
since
the
amount
of
any
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Funds
cannot
be
determined,
and
the
Funds
have
no
historical
basis
for
predicting
the
likelihood
of
any
such
claims.
Recent
accounting
pronouncements
and
regulatory
updates
Tailored
Shareholder
Reports
In
October
2022,
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
adopted
a
final
rule
relating
to
Tailored
Shareholder
Reports
for
Mutual
Funds
and
Exchange-Traded
Funds;
Fee
Information
in
Investment
Company
Advertisements.
The
rule
and
form
amendments
will,
among
other
things,
require
the
Funds
to
transmit
concise
and
visually
engaging
shareholder
reports
that
highlight
key
information.
The
amendments
will
require
that
funds
tag
information
in
a
structured
data
format
and

Under
an
Investment

Agreement,
Columbia

a
wholly-owned

Inc.
(Ameriprise

be
purchased,
held
or
sold.
The
investment
management

is
a
unitary
fee
paid
monthly
to
the
Investment
Manager
at
an
annual
rate
based
on
each
Fund’s
average
daily
net
assets.
In
return
for
this
fee,
the
Investment
Manager
pays
the
operating
costs
and

of
each
Fund
other
than
the
following
expenses
(which
will
be
paid
by
the

is
an

that
is
equal
to
a

and
is
paid
as
follows:

are
authorized
to

Semiannual
Report
2023
Management
of
the
Funds
has
concluded
that
there
are
no
significant
uncertain
tax
positions
in
the
Funds
that
would
require
recognition
in
the
financial
statements.
However,
management’s
conclusion
may
be
subject
to
review
and
adjustment
at
a
later
date
based
on
factors
including,
but
not
limited
to,
new
tax
laws,
regulations,
and
administrative
interpretations
(including
relevant
court
decisions).
Generally,
the
Funds’
federal
tax
returns
for
the
prior
three
fiscal
years
remain
subject
to
examination
by
the
Internal
Revenue
Service.

In-kind
transactions
The

Each
Fund
has
access
to
a
revolving
credit

with
a
syndicate
of
banks
led
by
JPMorgan
Chase
Bank,
N.A.,
Citibank,
N.A.
and
Wells

N.A.
whereby
the
Fund
may
borrow
for
the
temporary
funding
of
shareholder
redemptions
or
for
other
temporary
or
emergency
purposes.
Pursuant
to
an
October
26,
2023
amendment
and
restatement,
the
credit
facility,
which
is
an
agreement
between
the
Fund
and
certain
other
funds
managed
by
the
Investment
Manager
or
an
affiliated
investment
manager,
severally
and
not
jointly,
permits
aggregate
borrowings
up
to
$900
million.
Interest
is
currently
charged
to
each

fund
based
on
its
borrowings
at
a
rate
equal
to
the
higher
of
(i)
the
federal

rate
plus
0.10%
and
(iii)
the

1.00%.
Each
borrowing
under
the
credit
facility
matures
no
later
than
60
days
after
the
date
of

Each
Fund
also
pays
a
commitment
fee
equal
to
its
pro
rata
share
of
the
unused
amount
of
the
credit
facility
at
a
rate
of
0.15%
per
annum.
The

Significant
risks
Communication
services
sector
risk
Columbia
Emerging
Markets
Consumer
ETF
is
more
susceptible
to
the
particular
risks
that
may
affect
companies
in
the
communication
services
sector
than
if
it
were
invested
in
a
wider
variety
of
companies
in
unrelated
sectors.
Companies
in
the
communication
services
sector
are
subject
to
certain
risks,
including
the
risk
that
new
services,
equipment
or
technologies
will
not
be
accepted
by
consumers
and
businesses
or
will
become
rapidly
obsolete.
Performance
of
such
companies
may
be
affected
by
factors
including
obtaining
and
protecting
patents
(or
the
failure
to
do
so)
and
significant
competitive
pressures,
including
aggressive
pricing
of
their
products
or
services,
new
market
entrants,
competition
for
market
share
and
short
product
cycles
due
to
an
accelerated
rate
of
technological
developments.
Such
competitive
pressures
may
lead
to
limited
earnings
and/or
falling
profit
margins.
As
a
result,
the
value
of
their
securities
may
fall
or
fail
to
rise.
In
addition,
many
communication
services
sector
companies
have
limited
operating
histories
and
prices
of
these
companies’
securities
historically
have
been
more
volatile
than
other
securities,
especially
over
the
short
term.
Consumer
concentration
risk
Because
Columbia
Emerging
Markets
Consumer
ETF
and
Columbia
India
Consumer
ETF
concentrate
their
investments
in
the
discretionary/staples
sectors
(specifically
the
discretionary/staples
sectors
of
India
for
the
Columbia
India
Consumer
ETF),
these
Funds
may
be
adversely
affected
by
increased
price
volatility
of
securities
in
those
sectors,
and
may
be
more
susceptible
to
adverse
economic,
market,
political
or
regulatory
occurrences
affecting
those
sectors.
The
performance
of
companies
in
the
consumer
discretionary/staples
sectors
is
tied
closely
to
the
performance
of
the
domestic
and
international
economy,
consumer
spending
levels,
changing
demographics
and
consumer
tastes.
Correlation/tracking
error
risk
Each
Fund’s
value
will
generally
decline
when
the
performance
of
securities
within
its
tracking
index
declines.
A
number
of
factors
may
affect
the
Funds’
ability
to
achieve
a
high
degree
of
correlation
with
its
tracking
index,
and
there
is
no
guarantee
that
the
Funds
will
achieve
a
high
degree
of
correlation.
Failure
to
achieve
a
high
degree
of
correlation
may
prevent
the
Funds
from
achieving
their
investment
objective.
When
using
a
representative
sampling
approach,
the
Funds
may
not
track
the
tracking
index
as
closely
as
they
would
by
using
a
full
replication
approach.
The
Funds
also
bear
management
and
other
expenses
and
transaction
costs
in
trading
securities
or
other
instruments,
which
the
tracking
index
does
not
bear.
Accordingly,
the
Funds’
performance
will
likely
fail
to
match
the
performance
of
the
tracking
index,
after
taking
expenses
into
account.
It
is
not
possible
to
invest
directly
in
an
index.
Financial
sector
risk
Columbia
EM
Core
ex-China
ETF
is
more
susceptible
to
the
particular
risks
that
may
affect
companies
in
the
financial
services
sector
than
if
it
were
invested
in
a
wider
variety
of
companies
in
unrelated
sectors.
Companies
in
the
financial
services
sector
are
subject
to
certain
risks,
including
the
risk
of
regulatory
change,
decreased
liquidity
in
credit
markets
and
unstable
interest
rates.
Such
companies
may
have
concentrated
portfolios,
such
as
a
high
level
of
loans
to
one
or
more
industries
or
sectors,
which
makes
them
vulnerable
to
economic
conditions
that
affect
such
industries
or
sectors.
Performance
of
such
companies
may
be
affected
by
competitive
pressures
and
exposure
to
investments,
agreements
and
counterparties,
including
credit
products
that,
under
certain
circumstances,
may
lead
to
losses
(e.g.,
subprime
loans).
Companies
in
the
financial
services
sector
are
subject
to
extensive
governmental
regulation
that
may
limit
the
amount
and
types
of
loans
and
other
financial
commitments
they
can
make,
and
interest
rates
and
fees
that
they
may
charge.
In
addition,
profitability
of
such
companies
is
largely
dependent
upon
the
availability
and
the
cost
of
capital.
Foreign
securities
and
emerging
market
countries
risk
Investing
in
foreign
securities
may
involve
heightened
risks
relative
to
investments
in
U.S.
securities.
Investing
in
foreign
securities
subjects
the
Funds
to
the
risks
associated
with
the
issuer’s
country
of
organization
and
places
of
business
operations,
including
risks
associated
with
political,
regulatory,
economic,
social,
diplomatic
and
other
conditions
or
events
occurring
in
the
country
or
region,
which
may
result
in
significant
market
volatility.
In
addition,
certain
foreign
securities
may
be
more
volatile
and
less
liquid
than
U.S.
securities.
Investing
in
emerging
markets
may

risks
and
expose
the
Funds
to
elevated
risks
associated
with
increased
inflation,
deflation
or
currency
devaluation.
To
the
extent
that
the
Funds
concentrate
their
investment
exposure
to
any
one
or
a
few
specific
countries,
the
Funds
will
be
particularly
susceptible
to
the
risks
associated
with
the
conditions,
events
or
other
factors
impacting
those
countries
or
regions
and
may,
therefore,
have
a
greater
risk
than
that
of
a
fund
that
is
more
geographically
diversified.
The
financial
information
and
disclosure
made
available
by
issuers
of
emerging
market
securities
may
be
considerably
less
reliable
than
publicly
available
information
about
other
foreign
securities.
The
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board,
which
regulates
auditors
of
U.S.
public
companies,
is
unable
to
inspect
audit
work
papers
in
certain
foreign
countries.
Investors
in
foreign
countries
often
have
limited
rights
and
few
practical
remedies
to
pursue
shareholder
claims,
including
class
actions
or
fraud
claims,
and
the
ability
of
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission,
the
U.S.
Department
of
Justice
and
other
authorities
to
bring
and
enforce
actions
against
foreign
issuers
or
foreign
persons
is
limited.
Geographic
focus
risk
The
Funds
may
be
particularly
susceptible
to
risks
related
to
economic,
political,
regulatory
or
other
events
or
conditions
affecting
issuers
and
countries
within
the
specific
geographic
regions
in
which
the
Funds
invest.
The
Funds’
net
asset
value
may
be
more
volatile
than
the
net
asset
value
of
a
more
geographically
diversified
fund.
Asia
Pacific
Region
.
Columbia
EM
Core
ex-China
ETF
and
Columbia
Emerging
Markets
Consumer
ETF
are
particularly
susceptible
to
economic,
political,
regulatory
or
other
events
or
conditions
affecting
issuers
and
countries
in
the
Asia
Pacific
region.
Many
of
the
countries
in
the
region
are
considered
underdeveloped
or
developing,
including
from
a
political,
economic
and/or
social
perspective,
and
may
have
relatively
unstable
governments
and
economies
based
on
limited
business,
industries
and/or
natural
resources
or
commodities.
Events
in
any
one
country
within
the
region
may
impact
other
countries
in
the
region
or
the
region
as
a
whole.
As
a
result,
events
in
the
region
will
generally
have
a
greater
effect
on
the
Funds
than
if
the
Funds
were
more
geographically
diversified.
This
could
result
in
increased
volatility
in
the
value
of
the
Funds’
investments
and
losses
for
the
Funds.
Also,
securities
of
some
companies
in
the
region
can
be
less
liquid
than
U.S.
or
other
foreign
securities,
potentially
making
it
difficult
for
the
Funds
to
sell
such
securities
at
a
desirable
time
and
price.
Greater
China.
Columbia
Emerging
Markets
Consumer
ETF
is
particularly
susceptible
to
economic,
political,
regulatory
or
other
events
or
conditions
affecting
issuers
in
the
Greater
China
region.
The
region
consists
of
Hong
Kong,
The
People’s
Republic
of
China
and
Taiwan,
among
other
countries,
and
the
Fund’s
investments
in
the
region
are
particularly
susceptible
to
risks
in
that
region.
The
Hong
Kong,
Taiwanese,
and
Chinese
economies
are
dependent
on
the
economies
of
other
countries
and
can
be
significantly
affected
by
currency
fluctuations
and
increasing
competition
from
other
emerging
economies
in
Asia
with
lower
costs.
Adverse
events
in
any
one
country
within
the
region
may
impact
the
other
countries
in
the
region
or
Asia
as
a
whole.
As
a
result,
adverse
events
in
the
region
will
generally
have
a
greater
effect
on
the
Fund
than
if
the
Fund
were
more
geographically
diversified,
which
could
result
in
greater
volatility
in
the
Fund’s
net
asset
value
and
losses.
Markets
in
the
Greater
China
region
can
experience
significant
volatility
due
to
social,
economic,
regulatory
and
political
uncertainties.
Changes
in
Chinese
government
policy
and
economic
growth
rates
could
significantly
affect
local
markets
and
the
entire
Greater
China
region.
China
has
yet
to
develop
comprehensive
securities,
corporate,
or
commercial
laws,
its
market
is
relatively
new
and
less
developed,
and
its
economy
is
experiencing
a
relative
slowdown.
Export
growth
continues
to
be
a
major
driver
of
China’s
economic
growth.
As
a
result,
a
reduction
in
spending
on
Chinese
products
and
services,
the
institution
of
additional
tariffs
or
other
trade
barriers,
including
as
a
result
of
heightened
trade
tensions
between
China
and
the
United
States,
or
a
downturn
in
any
of
the
economies
of
China’s
key
trading
partners
may
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
Chinese
economy.
India.
Columbia
Emerging
Markets
Consumer
ETF
and
Columbia
India
Consumer
ETF
are
particularly
susceptible
to
risks
related
to
economic,
political,
regulatory
or
other
events
or
conditions
affecting
issuers
in
India.
Because
the
Funds
have
significant
investments
in
Indian
securities,
their
NAVs
will
be
much
more
sensitive
to
changes
in
economic,
political
and
other
factors
within
India
than
would
a
fund
that
invested
in
a
variety
of
countries.
Special
risks
include,
among
others,
political
and
legal
uncertainty,
persistent
religious,
ethnic
and
border
disputes,
greater
government
control
over
the
economy,
currency
fluctuations
or
blockage
and
the
risk
of
nationalization
or
expropriation
of
assets.
Uncertainty
regarding
inflation
and
currency
exchange
rates,
fiscal
policy,
credit
ratings
and
the
possibility
that
future
harmful
political
actions
will
be
taken
by
the
Indian
government,
could
negatively
impact
the
Indian
economy
and
securities
markets,
and
thus
adversely
affect
the
Funds’
performance.

India-Mauritius
tax
treaty
risk
Columbia
India
Consumer
ETF
and
its
Subsidiary
have
historically
relied
on
a
tax
treaty
between
India
and
Mauritius
for
relief
from
certain
Indian
taxes.
India
and
Mauritius
agreed
to
an
amended
protocol
with
respect
to
gains
resulting
from
the
alienation
of
shares
in
Indian
companies
if
the
shares
were
acquired
by
the
Subsidiary
on
or
after
April
1,
2017.
Gains
realized
in
the
Subsidiary
resulting
from
the
alienation
of
Indian
shares
acquired
prior
to
April
1,
2017
continue
to
be
exempt
from
Indian
tax
under
the
India-Mauritius
tax
treaty.
Additionally,
India
has
enacted
General
anti-avoidance
rules
(GAAR),
which
seek
to
curb
tax
evasion
via
investments
through
foreign
tax
havens
and
other
avenues.
Any
assertion
that
the
Subsidiary
is
in
violation
of
GAAR
or
any
change
in
the
requirements
established
by
Mauritius
to
qualify
as
a
Mauritius
resident
could
result
in
the
imposition
by
India
of
various
taxes
on
Indian
securities
invested
in
by
the
Subsidiary
(and
indirectly
the
Fund).
The
imposition
of
taxes
on
the
Subsidiary
by
India
for
any
of
the
reasons
described
herein
would
result
in
higher
taxes
and
lower
returns
for
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
Information

is
more
susceptible
to
the
particular
risks
that
may
affect
companies
in
the
information
technology
sector
than
if
it
were
invested
in
a
wider

risk
that

rapidly
obsolete.
Performance
of
such
companies
may
be
affected
by
factors
including
obtaining
and
protecting
patents
(or
the
failure
to
do
so)
and
significant
competitive
pressures,
including
aggressive
pricing
of
their
products
or
services,
new
market
entrants,
competition
for
market
share
and
short
product
cycles
due
to
an
accelerated
rate
of
technological
developments.
Such
competitive
pressures
may
lead
to
limited
earnings
and/or
falling
profit
margins.
As
a
result,
the
value
of
their
securities
may
fall
or
fail
to
rise.
In
addition,
many
information
technology
sector
companies
have
limited
operating
histories
and
prices
of
these
companies’
securities
historically
have
been
more
volatile
than
other
securities,
especially
over
the
short
term.
Some
companies
in
the
information
technology
sector
are
facing
increased
government
and
regulatory
scrutiny
and
may
be
subject
to
adverse
government
or
regulatory
action,
which
could
negatively
impact
the
value
of
their
securities.
Market
risk
The
Funds
may
incur
losses
due
to
declines
in
the
value
of
one
or
more
securities
in
which
they
invest.
These
declines
may
be
due
to
factors
affecting
a
particular
issuer,
or
the
result
of,
among
other
things,
political,
regulatory,
market,
economic
or
social
developments
affecting
the
relevant
market(s)
more
generally.
In
addition,
turbulence
in
financial
markets
and
reduced
liquidity
in
equity,
credit
and/or
fixed
income
markets
may
negatively
affect
many
issuers,
which
could
adversely
affect
the
Funds’
ability
to
price
or
value
hard-to-value
assets
in
thinly
traded
and
closed
markets
and
could
cause
significant
redemptions
and
operational
challenges.
Global
economies
and
financial
markets
are
increasingly
interconnected,
and
conditions
and
events
in
one
country,
region
or
financial
market
may
adversely
impact
issuers
in
a
different
country,
region
or
financial
market.
These
risks
may
be
magnified
if
certain
events
or
developments
adversely
interrupt
the
global
supply
chain;
in
these
and
other
circumstances,
such
risks
might
affect
companies
worldwide.
As
a
result,
local,
regional
or
global
events
such
as
terrorism,
war,
other
conflicts,
natural
disasters,
disease/virus
outbreaks
and
epidemics
or
other
public
health
issues,
recessions,
depressions
or
other
events
or
the
potential
for
such
events
could
have
a
significant
negative
impact
on
global
economic
and
market
conditions
and
could
result
in
increased
premiums
or
discounts
to
the
Funds’
net
asset
value.
The
large-scale
invasion
of
Ukraine
by
Russia
in
February
2022
has
resulted
in
sanctions
and
market
disruptions,
including
declines
in
regional
and
global
stock
markets,
unusual
volatility
in
global
commodity
markets
and
significant
devaluations
of
Russian
currency.
The
extent
and
duration
of
the
military
action
are
impossible
to
predict
but
could
continue
to
be
significant.
Market
disruption
caused
by
the
Russian
military
action,
and
any
counter-measures
or
responses
thereto
(including
international
sanctions,
a
downgrade
in
a
country’s
credit
rating,
purchasing
and
financing
restrictions,
boycotts,
tariffs,
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences,
cyberattacks
and
espionage)
could
continue
to
have
severe
adverse
impacts
on
regional
and/or
global
securities
and
commodities
markets,
including
markets
for
oil
and
natural
gas.
These
impacts
may
include
reduced
market
liquidity,
distress
in
credit
markets,
further
disruption
of
global
supply
chains,
increased
risk
of
inflation,
restricted
cross-border
payments
and
limited
access
to
investments
and/
or
assets
in
certain
international
markets
and/or
issuers.
These
developments
and
other
related
events
could
negatively
impact
Fund
performance.

Non-diversification
risk
Columbia
EM
Core
ex-China
ETF
and
Columbia
India
Consumer
ETF
are
non-diversified
funds.
Columbia
Emerging
Markets
Consumer
ETF
may
operate
as
a
non-diversified
fund
when
the
Index
is
non-diversified.
A
non-diversified
fund
is
permitted
to
invest
a
greater
percentage
of
its
total
assets
in
the
securities
of
fewer
issuers
than
a
diversified
fund.
This
increases
the
risk
that
a
change
in
the
value
of
any
one
investment
held
by
the
Fund
could
affect
the
overall
value
of
the
Fund
more
than
it
would
affect
that
of
a
diversified
fund
holding
a
greater
number
of
investments.
Accordingly,
the
Fund’s
value
will
likely
be
more
volatile
than
the
value
of
a
more
diversified
fund.
Passive
investment
risk
The
Funds
are
not
"actively"
managed
and
may
be
affected
by
a
general
decline
in
market
segments
related
to
their
Index’s
investment
exposure.
The
Funds
invest
in
securities
or
instruments
included
in,
or
believed
by
the
Investment
Manager
to
be
representative
of
the
Index
regardless
of
their
investment
merits.
The
Funds
do
not
seek
temporary
defensive
positions
when
markets
decline
or
appear
overvalued.
For
Columbia
Emerging
Markets
Consumer
ETF
and
Columbia
India
Consumer
ETF,
the
decision
of
whether
to
remove
a
security
from
a
tracking
index
is
made
by
an
independent
index
provider
who
is
not
affiliated
with
the
Fund
or
the
Investment
Manager.
Sector
risk
At
times,
the
Funds
may
have
a
significant
portion
of
their
assets
invested
in
securities
of
companies
conducting
business
in
a
related
group
of
industries
within
one
or
more
economic
sectors.
Companies
in
the
same
sector
may
be
similarly
affected
by
economic,
regulatory,
political
or
market
events
or
conditions,
which
may
make
the
Funds
more
vulnerable
to
unfavorable
developments
in
that
group
of
industries
or
economic
sector
than
funds
that
invest
more
broadly.
Generally,
the
more
broadly
a
Fund
invests,
the
more
it
spreads
risk
and
potentially
reduces
the
risks
of
loss
and
volatility.
Variable
interest
entity
risk
Many
Chinese
companies
to
which
Columbia
Emerging
Markets
Consumer
ETF
seeks
investment
exposure
use
a
structure
known
as
a
variable
interest
entity
(a
VIE)
to
address
Chinese
restrictions
on
direct
foreign
investment
in
Chinese
companies
operating
in
certain
sectors.
The
Fund’s
investment
exposure
to
VIEs
may
pose
additional
risks
because
the
Fund’s
investment
is
in
a
holding
company
domiciled
outside
of
China
(a
Holding
Company)
whose
interests
in
the
business
of
the
underlying
Chinese
operating
company
(the
VIE)
are
established
through
contracts
rather
than
equity
ownership.
The
VIE
structure
is
a
longstanding
practice
in
China
that,
until
recently,
was
not
acknowledged
by
the
Chinese
government,
creating
uncertainty
over
the
possibility
that
the
Chinese
government
might
cease
to
tolerate
VIE
structures
at
any
time
or
impose
new
restrictions
on
the
structure.
In
such
a
scenario,
the
Chinese
operating
company
could
be
subject
to
penalties,
including
revocation
of
its
business
and
operating
license,
or
the
Holding
Company
could
forfeit
its
interest
in
the
business
of
the
Chinese
operating
company.
Further,
in
case
of
a
dispute,
the
remedies
and
rights
of
the
Fund
may
be
limited,
and
such
legal
uncertainty
may
be
exploited
against
the
interests
of
the
Fund.
Control
over
a
VIE
may
also
be
jeopardized
if
a
natural
person
who
holds
the
equity
interest
in
the
VIE
breaches
the
terms
of
the
contractual
arrangements,
is
subject
to
legal
proceedings,
or
if
any
physical
instruments
or
property
of
the
VIE,
such
as
seals,
business
registration
certificates,
financial
data
and
licensing
arrangements
(sometimes
referred
to
as
“chops”),
are
used
without
authorization.
In
the
event
of
such
an
occurrence,
the
Fund,
as
a
foreign
investor,
may
have
little
or
no
legal
recourse.
In
addition
to
the
risk
of
government
intervention,
investments
through
a
VIE
structure
are
subject
to
the
risks
that
the
China-based
company
(or
its
officers,
directors,
or
Chinese
equity
owners)
may
breach
the
contractual
arrangements,
that
Chinese
law
changes
in
a
way
that
adversely
affects
the
enforceability
of
the
arrangements
and
that
the
contracts
are
otherwise
not
enforceable
under
Chinese
law,
in
which
case
a
Fund
may
suffer
significant
losses
on
its
investments
through
a
VIE
structure
with
little
or
no
recourse
available.
Further,
the
Fund
is
not
a
VIE
owner/shareholder
and
cannot
exert
influence
through
proxy
voting
or
other
means.
Foreign
companies
listed
on
stock
exchanges
in
the
United
States,
including
companies
using
the
VIE
structure,
could
also
face
delisting
or
other
ramifications
for
failure
to
meet
the
expectations
and/or
requirements
of
U.S.
regulators.
Recently,
however,
China
has
proposed
the
adoption
of
rules
which
would
affirm
that
VIEs
are
legally
permissible,
though
there
remains
significant
uncertainty
over
how
these
rules
will
operate.
Any
of
these
risks
could
reduce
the
liquidity
and
value
of
the
Fund’s
investments
in
Holding
Companies
or
render
them
valueless.

Information
regarding
pending
and
settled
legal
proceedings
Ameriprise
Financial
and
certain
of
its
affiliates
are
involved
in
the
normal
course
of
business
in
legal
proceedings
which
include
regulatory
inquiries,
arbitration
and
litigation,
including
class
actions
concerning
matters
arising
in
connection
with
the
conduct
of
their
activities
as
part
of
a
diversified
financial
services
firm.
Ameriprise
Financial
believes
that
the
Funds
are
not
currently
the
subject
of,
and
that
neither
Ameriprise
Financial
nor
any
of
its
affiliates
are
the
subject
of,
any
pending
legal,
arbitration
or
regulatory
proceedings
that
are
likely
to
have
a
material
adverse
effect
on
the
Funds
or
the
ability
of
Ameriprise
Financial
or
its
affiliates
to
perform
under
their
contracts
with
the
Funds.
Ameriprise
Financial
is
required
to
make
quarterly
(10-Q),
annual
(10-K)
and,
as
necessary,
8-K
filings
with
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(SEC)
on
legal
and
regulatory
matters
that
relate
to
Ameriprise
Financial
and
its

Copies

There
can
be
no
assurance
that
these

or
the
adverse

associated
with
them,
will
not
result
in
increased
Fund
redemptions,
reduced
sale
of
Fund

or
other
adverse
consequences
to
the
Funds.
Further,
although
we
believe
proceedings
are
not
likely
to
have
a
material
adverse
effect
on
the
Funds
or
the
ability
of
Ameriprise

or
range
of
loss
that
may
result.
An

The
profitability
to
the
Investment
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
their
relationships
with
the
Funds.
Following
an
analysis
and
discussion
of
the
foregoing,
and
the
factors
identified
below,
the
Board,
including
all
of
the
Independent
Trustees,
approved
the
renewal
of
the
IMS
Agreement.
Nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Investment
Manager
The
Board
analyzed
various
reports
and
presentations
it
had
received
detailing
the
services
performed
by
the
Investment
Manager,
as
well
as
its
history,
expertise,
resources
and
relative
capabilities,
and
the
qualifications
of
its
personnel.
The
Board
specifically
considered
the
many
developments
during
recent
years
concerning
the
services
provided
by
the
Investment
Manager.
Among
other
things,
the
Board
noted
the
organization
and
depth
of
the
equity
and
credit
research
departments.
The
Board
further
observed
the
enhancements
to
the
investment
risk
management
department’s
processes,
systems
and
oversight
over
the
past
several
years.
The
Board
also
took
into
account
the
broad
scope
of
services
provided
by
the
Investment
Manager
to
the
Funds,
including,
among
other
services,
investment,
risk
and
compliance
oversight.
The
Board
also
took
into
account
the
information
it
received
concerning
the
Investment
Manager’s
ability
to
attract
and
retain
key
portfolio
management
personnel
and
that
it
has
sufficient
resources
to
provide
competitive
and
adequate
compensation
to
investment
personnel.
The
Board
also
considered
the
oversight
of
the
administrative
and
transfer
agency
services
provided
by
The
Bank
of
New
York
Mellon
(BNYM).
The
Board
observed
that
the
Investment
Manager
currently
oversees
the
relationship
with
BNYM,
as
BNYM
also
provides
administrative
and
transfer
agency
services
to
certain
existing
Funds
under
substantially
identical
agreements.
In
evaluating
the
quality
of
services
provided
under
the
IMS
Agreement,
the
Board
also
took
into
account
the
organization
and
strength
of
the
Funds’
and
their
service
providers’
compliance
programs.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
financial
condition
of
the
Investment
Manager
and
its
affiliates
and
each
entity’s
ability
to
carry
out
its
responsibilities
under
the
IMS
Agreement
and
the
Funds’
other
service
agreements.
In
addition,
the
Board
discussed
the
acceptability
of
the
terms
of
the
IMS
Agreement,
noting
that
no
changes
were
proposed
from
the
form
of
agreement
previously
approved.
The
Board
also
noted
the
wide
array
of
legal
and
compliance
services
provided
to
the
Funds
under
the
IMS
Agreement.
After
reviewing
these
and
related
factors
(including
investment
performance
as
discussed
below),
the
Board
concluded,
within
the
context
of
their
overall
conclusions,
that
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
to
the
Funds
under
the
IMS
Agreement
supported
the
continuation
of
the
IMS
Agreement.
Investment
performance
The
Board
carefully
reviewed
the
investment
performance
of
the
Funds,
including
detailed
reports
providing
the
results
of
analyses
performed
by
the
Investment
Manager
and
Broadridge
collectively
showing,
for
various
periods
(including
since
manager
inception):
(i)
the
performance
of
the
Funds,
(ii)
the
Funds’
performance
relative
to
peers
and
benchmarks,
(iii)
the
net
assets
of
the
Funds
and
(iv)
index
tracking
error
data
of
each
Fund.
The
Board
observed
each
Fund’s
tracking
error
versus
its
performance
was
within
the
range
of
management’s
expectations.
The
Board
also
reviewed
a
description
of
the
third-party
data
provider’s
methodology
for
identifying
the
Funds’
peer
groups
for
purposes
of
performance
and
expense
comparisons.
The
Board
also
considered
the
Investment
Manager’s
performance
and
reputation
generally.
After
reviewing
these
and
related
factors,
the
Board
concluded,
within
the
context
of
their
overall
conclusions,
that
the
performance
of
the
Funds
and
the
Investment
Manager,
in
light
of
other
considerations,
supported
the
continuation
of
the
IMS
Agreement.

Comparative
fees,
costs
of
services
provided
and
the
profits
realized
by
the
Investment
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
their
relationships
with
the
Funds
The
Board
reviewed
comparative
fees
and
the
costs
of
services
provided
under
the
IMS
Agreement.
The
Board
considered
the
unitary
fee
structure
utilized
by
each
Fund,
observing
that
many
of
the
competitors
of
the
Funds
have
adopted
similar
unitary
fee
structures,
as
well
as
data
showing
the
Funds’
contribution
to
the
Investment
Manager’s
profitability.
The
Board
accorded
particular
weight
to
the
notion
that
a
primary
objective
of
the
level
of
fees
is
to
achieve
a
rational
pricing
model
applied
consistently
across
the
various
product
lines
in
the
Fund
family,
while
assuring
that
the
overall
fees
for
each
Columbia
Fund
(with
certain
exceptions)
are
generally
in
line
with
the
current
“pricing
philosophy”
such
that
Fund
total
expense
ratios,
in
general,
approximate
or
are
lower
than
the
median
expense
ratios
of
funds
in
the
same
Lipper
comparison
universe.
The
Board
took
into
account
that
each
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio
(after
considering
proposed
expense
caps/waivers)
approximated
the
peer
universe’s
median
expense
ratio.
After
reviewing
these
and
related
factors,
the
Board
concluded,
within
the
context
of
their
overall
conclusions,
that
the
levels
of
management
fees
and
expenses
of
the
Funds,
in
light
of
other
considerations,
supported
the
continuation
of
the
IMS
Agreement.
The
Board
also
considered
the
profitability
of
the
Investment
Manager
and
its
affiliates
in
connection
with
the
Investment
Manager
providing
management
services
to
the
Funds.
With
respect
to
the
profitability
of
the
Investment
Manager
and
its
affiliates,
the
Independent
Trustees
referred
to
information
discussing
the
profitability
to
the
Investment
Manager
and
Ameriprise
Financial
from
managing
the
Columbia
Funds.
The
Board
considered
that
the
profitability
generated
by
the
Investment
Manager
in
2022
had
declined
from
2021
levels,
due
to
a
variety
of
factors,
including
the
decreased
assets
under
management
of
the
Funds.
It
also
took
into
account
the
indirect
economic
benefits
flowing
to
the
Investment
Manager
or
its
affiliates
in
connection
with
managing
the
Columbia
Funds,
such
as
the
enhanced
ability
to
offer
various
other
financial
products
to
Ameriprise
Financial
customers
and
overall
reputational
advantages.
The
Board
noted
that
the
fees
paid
by
the
Funds
should
permit
the
Investment
Manager
to
offer
competitive
compensation
to
its
personnel,
make
necessary
investments
in
its
business
and
earn
an
appropriate
profit.
After
reviewing
these
and
related
factors,
the
Board
concluded,
within
the
context
of
their
overall
conclusions,
that
the
costs
of
services
provided
and
the
profitability
to
the
Investment
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
their
relationships
with
the
Funds
supported
the
continuation
of
the
IMS
Agreement.
Economies
of
scale
The
Board
considered
that
the
IMS
Agreement
for
each
Fund
provides
for
a
unitary
fee
level
that
does
not
include
pre-
established
breakpoints,
and
management’s
observation
that
ETF
fee
structures
often
do
not
include
breakpoints
due
to
the
more
volatile
nature
of
their
inflows/outflows.
Conclusion
The
Board
reviewed
all
of
the
above
considerations
in
reaching
its
decision
to
approve
the
continuation
of
the
IMS
Agreement
for
each
Fund.
In
reaching
its
conclusions,
no
single
factor
was
determinative.
On
June
22,
2023,
the
Board,
including
all
of
the
Independent
Trustees,
determined
that
fees
payable
under
the
IMS
Agreement
for
each
Fund
were
fair
and
reasonable
in
light
of
the
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
and
approved
the
renewal
of
the
IMS
Agreement
for
each
Fund.
