Manager’s Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the first annual report for the Cambria ETF Trust.
The Trust launched its first series, the Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF (“SYLD”) on May 13, 2013. SYLD seeks income and capital appreciation with an emphasis on income from investments in the U.S. equity market.
The Trust’s next two series, the Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF (“FYLD”) and Cambria Global Value ETF (“GVAL,” and together with SYLD and FYLD, the “Funds”) launched on December 2, 2013 and March 11, 2014, respectively. FYLD seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield Index (the ‘‘FYLD Index’’). GVAL seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the Cambria Global Value Index (the “GVAL Index”).
Since inception through April 30, 2014, the Funds posted returns as follows:
SYLD
|
21.8%
|
FYLD
|
7.0%
|
GVAL
|
2.9%
|
Performance of Funds vs. Benchmark Indexes
We have been pleased with each Fund’s performance since its inception as the Funds have outperformed their benchmarks, in some cases by a significant margin.
Since inception, as reported above, SYLD returned 21.8% whereas its benchmark index, the S&P 500 returned 17.6% over the same time period. In addition, in calendar year 2014 (through April 30, 2014), SYLD returned 2.6% and the S&P 500 returned 2.6%. We believe that the S&P 500 serves as a suitable benchmark for SYLD, and the table and line graph below show the performance of the Fund vs. the S&P 500 since inception through April 30, 2014.
Since inception, FYLD returned 7.0% whereas its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 4.6% over the same period. Further, from January 1 through April 30, 2014, FYLD returned 4.0% and its benchmark index returned 2.3%. We believe that the MSCI EAFE Index serves as a suitable benchmark for FYLD. The table and line graph below show the performance of FYLD vs. the MSCI EAFE Index since inception of FYLD through April 30, 2014.
GVAL — which was only recently launched — has returned 2.9% since its inception, and its benchmark index, the MSCI ACWI, has returned 1.7% over the same period. We believe that the MSCI ACWI Index serves as a suitable benchmark for GVAL and, the table and line graph below show the performance of GVAL vs. the MSCI ACWI Index for the period of launch through April 30, 2014.
The returns of the Funds since inception have been aided by both the broad market increasing in value and by the Funds successfully executing their strategies. The overall upward movement of the broad marked is evidenced by the S&P 500 moving up 20.44% and the MSCI EAFE Index moving up over 13.88% over the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014.
Cambria Investment Management
Manager’s Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance (Continued)
Performance of Funds vs. Competitor Universe
We are very excited about the shareholder yield strategy fueling the performance of SYLD and FYLD. Each of these two Funds targets investments in issuers that are providing significant “shareholder yield,” by paying dividends to shareholders, engaging in share buybacks and/or paying down debt. While other funds, including other ETFs, in the market target one or more of these shareholder yield characteristics, we continue to believe that the mix of characteristics targeted by the SYLD active strategy and the FYLD index strategy optimize returns for investors, and in this regard we have been heartened by the performance of the Funds overall. In SYLD, we have seen the Fund’s positions in AerCap Holdings NV and Endo International Plc (up 152% and 80%, respectively) in particular contribute to the Fund’s positive performance, while the Fund’s holdings in Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Class A and h.h.gregg, Inc. (down 30% and 41%, respectively) have been somewhat of a drag on performance. In FYLD, the Fund’s holdings in Centerra Gold Inc. and AstraZeneca PLC (advancing 68% and 41%, respectively) have been notable contributors to the Fund’s positive performance, while its positions in ENCE Energia Celulosa SA (down 27%) and Adastria Holdings Co., Ltd. (down 46%) have detracted from performance.
We are also optimistic about the strategy of GVAL, which targets investments in issuers in countries that are undervalued based on various valuation metrics. These metrics currently identify as components of GVAL’s target index, and therefore as holdings in GVAL’s portfolio, issuers in countries such as Russia, Greece, Portugal and Spain. Since the Fund’s inception, investments in Spain and Brazil have been particularly profitable for the Fund, while investments in Greece and Ireland have detracted somewhat from the Fund’s overall performance.
At the period ended April 30, 2014, SYLD had grown to approximately $205 million in assets under management (“AUM”). FYLD had grown to approximately $67 million in AUM. And, GVAL had grown to approximately $23 million in AUM.
In general, we believe market conditions have been favorable for US and foreign equities. We further believe that US equities may currently be trading at prices that above their fair valuation — although not in “bubble” territory. Nevertheless, we expect valuations to be a headwind in the years ahead and we appreciate your continuing confidence in us as asset managers.
Sincerely,
Mebane Faber

These financial statements relate only to Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF, and the Cambria Global Value ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Cambria Investment Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Each Fund is diversified.
The investment objective of the Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF is to seek income and capital appreciation with an emphasis on income from investments in the U.S. equity market. The Fund commenced operations on May 13, 2013.
The investment objective of Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield Index. The Fund commenced operations on December 2, 2013.
The investment objective of Cambria Global Value ETF is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the Cambria Global Value Index. The Fund commenced operations on March 11, 2014.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds will issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, typically 50,000 Shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.
Use of Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and could have a material impact to the Funds.
Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents, if available. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seeks to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Board. The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the ”Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
|
•
|
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;
|
|
•
|
Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
|
|
•
|
Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
|
For the period ended April 30, 2014, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
Foreign Currency Translation— The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend to qualify as a “regulated investment companies” under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to their shareholders.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provisions in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the period ended April 30, 2014, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Master Limited Partnerships — Entities commonly referred to as “MLPs” are generally organized under state law as limited partnerships or limited liability companies. The Fund intends to primarily invest in MLPs receiving partnership taxation treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), and whose interests or “units” are traded on securities exchanges like shares of corporate stock. To be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an MLP whose units are traded on a securities exchange must receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources such as interest, dividends, real estate rents, gain from the sale or disposition of real property, income and gain from mineral or natural resources activities, income and gain from the transportation or storage of certain fuels, and, in certain circumstances, income and gain from commodities or futures, forwards and options with respect to commodities. Mineral or natural resources activities include exploration, development, production, processing, mining, refining, marketing and transportation (including pipelines) of oil and gas, minerals, geothermal energy, fertilizer, timber or industrial source carbon dioxide. An MLP consists of a general partner and limited partners (or in the case of MLPs organized as limited liability companies, a managing member and members). The general partner or managing member typically controls the operations and management of the MLP and has an ownership stake in the partnership. The limited partners or members, through their ownership of limited partner or member interests, provide capital to the entity, are intended to have no role in the operation and management of the entity and receive cash distributions. The MLPs themselves generally do not pay U.S. federal income taxes. Thus, unlike investors in corporate securities, direct MLP investors are generally not subject to double taxation (i.e., corporate level tax and tax on corporate dividends). Currently, most MLPs operate in the energy and/or natural resources sector.
Organizational Expenses — All organizational and offering expenses of the Trust were borne by the Investment Adviser and are not subject to future recoupment. As a result, organizational and offering expenses are not reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities.
Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds generally pay out dividends from their net investment income, and distributes their net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Creation Units — The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV in groups of 50,000 shares called ‘‘Creation Units.’’ Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) must pay a creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is typically a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a Redemption Fee per transaction to the custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown for the period ended April 30, 2014:

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS
As with all exchange traded funds (‘‘ETFs’’), a shareholder of the Funds is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (‘‘NAV’’), trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. A more complete description of principal risks is included in the prospectus under the heading ‘‘Principal Risks’’.
Cambria Investment Management
Notes to the Financial Statements
April 30, 2014 (Continued)
5. PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued)
Dividend Paying Security Risk — Securities that pay high dividends as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing these companies to underperform companies that do not pay high dividends. Also, changes in the dividend policies of companies owned by the Funds and the capital resources available for these companies’ dividend payments may adversely affect the Funds.
Equity Investing Risk — An investment in the Funds involves risks similar to those of investing in any Fund holding equity securities, such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally.
Management Risk — The Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF is actively managed using proprietary investment strategies and processes. The Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF and Cambria Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF are passively-managed, meaning that they are designed to track the performance of an underlying index. There can be no guarantee that these strategies and processes will produce the intended results and no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. This could result in the Fund’s underperformance compared to other funds with similar investment objectives.
Foreign Investment Risk — Returns on investments in foreign securities and currencies could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. denominated investments. Investments in or exposures to foreign securities or currencies are subject to special risks, including risks associated with foreign markets generally, including differences in information available about issuers of securities and investor protection standards applicable in other jurisdictions; capital controls risks, including the risk of a foreign jurisdiction imposing restrictions on the ability to repatriate or transfer currency or other assets; currency risks; political, diplomatic and economic risks; regulatory risks; and foreign market and trading risks, including the costs of trading and risks of settlement in foreign jurisdictions.
Non-Correlation Risk — Each Fund’s return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.
Index Risk — Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund’s respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.
6. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. Based on experience, the Investment Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.
Cambria Investment Management
Notes to the Financial Statements
April 30, 2014 (Continued)
7. INCOME TAXES
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
Accordingly, the following permanent differences which are primarily attributable to partnership adjustments, reclassification of distributions, non-deductible excise tax, certain foreign currency related transactions, utilization of earnings and profits on shareholder redemptions and REIT adjustments, have been reclassified to/from the following accounts.

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. As of April 30, 2014, there are no losses carried forward.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF and Cambria Global Value ETF (three of the portfolios constituting Cambria ETF Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at April 30, 2014, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.These financial statements, financial highlights and schedules of investments (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses
All Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, brokerage fees and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the ETF’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The table below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Cambria Investment Management
Approval of Advisory Agreements & Board Considerations
April 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
Board Consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement
At the March 3, 2014 Board meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the approval of the investment advisory agreement between Cambria Investment Management, L.P. (“Cambria”) and the Trust pertaining to the Cambria Global Value ETF (“Agreement”). In preparation for its deliberations, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from Cambria to a due diligence questionnaire circulated on the Board’s behalf.During its deliberations, the Board received an oral presentation from Cambria, and was assisted by the advice of counsel.
In evaluating the Agreement, the Board reviewed information regarding Cambria’s personnel, operations and financial condition. In addition, the Board considered that the evaluation process with respect to Cambria is an ongoing one and, in this regard, the Board considers information at each regularly scheduled meeting including, among other things, information concerning performance and services provided by Cambria.At the meeting, the Board considered, among other matters: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to Cambria Global ETF (GVAL) by Cambria, including the investment performance of Cambria; (2) the costs of the services to be provided and profitability to Cambria with respect to its relationship with GVAL; (3) the advisory fee and total expense ratio of GVAL compared to a relevant peer group of funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as GVAL grows and whether the advisory fee would enable GVAL investors to share in the benefits of economies of scale; and (5) other benefits received by Cambria from its relationship with GVAL.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board reviewed the nature, quality and extent of the overall services to be provided by Cambria to GVAL.In this connection, the Board considered the responsibilities of Cambria, recognizing that Cambria had invested significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and GVAL, obtaining the necessary exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and arranging service providers for the Fund.In addition, the Board considered that, going forward, Cambria would be responsible for providing investment advisory services to GVAL, monitoring compliance with the Fund’s objective, policies and restrictions, and carrying out directives of the Board.The Board also considered the services to be provided by Cambria in the oversight of the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent and custodian.In addition, the Board evaluated the integrity of Cambria’s personnel, the experience of the portfolio management team in managing assets, their experiences with Cambria’s services to other series of the Trust, and the adequacy of Cambria’s resources.Based on their review and other considerations, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it was satisfied with the nature and quality of the services to be provided by Cambria.
Performance. The Board noted that, as GVAL had not yet commenced investment operations, it had no investment performance.The Board also noted that Cambria had been successful in advising other exchange-traded funds, including other series of the Trust, using different investment strategies.The Board noted that Cambria had performed extensive research on the strategies underlying GVAL.Based on its review, the Board determined, in its business judgment, that engaging Cambria could benefit GVAL and its shareholders.
Comparative Fees and Expenses. In considering the proposed advisory fees, the Board reviewed and considered the fees in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services expected to be provided by Cambria.The Board also considered the proposed fee and expense ratio versus the fees and expenses charged to ETFs with comparable strategies.The Board noted that GVAL is an innovative strategy and there are few ETFs using similar strategies; thus, it is difficult to compare GVAL’s proposed management fee and estimated expenses with the fees and expenses of comparable funds.The Board noted, however, that the proposed advisory fee and expense ratio are generally in line with other ETFs with comparable strategies.
The Board also considered that Cambria proposed charging a unitary advisory fee to GVAL.The Trustees noted that under the unitary fee structure Cambria, and not GVAL, would be responsible for paying most of the expenses necessary to service the Fund, except for, among other items, the Fund’s custodial expenses, and that Cambria would bear the risk of these expenses increasing.Based on these and other considerations, the Board, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, determined that the fees and expenses of GVAL would be fair and reasonable.

Approval of Advisory Agreements & Board Considerations
April 30, 2014 (Unaudited) (Concluded)
Costs and Profitability. The Board then considered the estimated profits to be realized by Cambria in connection with providing services to GVAL.The Board noted that since GVAL had not yet launched, it was difficult to estimate how profitable it would be to Cambria.The Board, however, reviewed estimated profit and loss information provided by Cambria with respect to GVAL. In this connection, the Board noted Cambria’s representation of its long-term commitment to the success of GVAL and its proposal of a unitary fee structure under which it bore the risk if certain of GVAL’s expenses increased.The Board further considered the costs associated with the personnel, systems and equipment necessary to manage GVAL and to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements adopted by the SEC and other regulatory bodies as well as other expenses Cambria would pay in accordance with the Agreement.Under the totality of the circumstances, the Board concluded in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment that the current estimated profits to be realized by Cambria with respect to GVAL would not be excessive in view of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided.
Other Benefits. The Board then considered the extent to which Cambria might derive ancillary benefits from GVAL operations.For example, Cambria may engage in soft dollar transactions in the future, although it does not currently plan to do so.The Board also noted that Cambria did not have any affiliates that might benefit from GVAL operations.Based on these and other considerations, the Board determined that other benefits were not a material factor to consider in approving the Agreement.
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by GVAL as its assets grow larger, including the extent to which this would be reflected in the level of fees to be paid by the Fund.The Board noted that the proposed advisory fee for GVAL does not include breakpoints, but that it was premature - before the commencement of investment operations - to evaluate potential economies of scale.Based on these and other considerations, including that GVAL was newly organized, the Board generally concluded that it would monitor for potential economies of scale in the future if GVAL grows.
Conclusion. In approving the Agreement, the Board concluded that its terms are fair and reasonable and that approval of Agreement is in the best interests of GVAL and its shareholders.In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Cambria could be expected to provide a high level of service to GVAL; that its fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature and quality of services expected to be provided; and that the expected benefits accruing to Cambria by virtue of its relationship to GVAL were reasonable in comparison with the expected costs of providing the investment advisory services and the expected benefits accruing to the Fund.The Board reviewed a memorandum from Trust counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to its consideration of the Agreement.In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors.

Supplemental Information
Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per share at which a Fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. A Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The NAV of a Fund may also be impacted by the accrual of deferred taxes. The Market Price of a Fund generally fluctuates in response to changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of a NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below a reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
