1. ORGANIZATION

KraneShares Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Statutory Trust formed on February 3, 2012. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. As of September 30, 2015, the Trust had five portfolios. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares CSI New China ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF and Kraneshares FTSE Emerging Markets Plus ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF and KraneShares FTSE Emerging Markets Plus ETF are diversified, as defined under Section 5(b)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940; while the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, KraneShares CSI New China ETF and KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF are non-diversified. Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser for the Funds and is subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Adviser is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Funds, the Funds’ business affairs and other administrative matters.

The shares of KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF, KraneShares CSI New China ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF and KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Shares of KraneShares FTSE Emerging Markets Plus ETF shares are listed and traded on the BATS Exchange. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds 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”). With respect to the KraneShares CSI New China ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF and KraneShares FTSE Emerging Markets Plus ETF, Creation Units will be issued and redeemed principally in-kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. With respect to the KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF and the KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF, Creation Units will be issued and redeemed principally for cash. To the extent the KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF and the KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF permit in kind consideration for the purchase of a Creation Units, such Creation Units will be issued and redeemed 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.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees, and expenses) to its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

 
Fund   Index
KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF   MSCI China A Index
KraneShares CSI China Five Year Plan ETF   CSI Overseas China Five-Year Plan Index
KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF   CSI Overseas China Internet Index

KraneShares FTSE Emerging Markets Plus ETF   FTSE Emerging including China Overseas non-R/QFII GDP Weighted Index

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. The Funds are investment companies in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies.

USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and

50


 
 

[GRAPHIC MISSING]
 
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

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 Standard 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 mean between the quoted bid and asked prices (absent both bid and asked prices on such exchange, the bid price may be used).

For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. 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. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. 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 seek 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 its primary trading 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. In addition, the Funds may fair value their securities if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ securities that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Funds calculate their net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If the Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Funds calculate net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration all relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

As of September 30, 2015, the total market value of securities valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures is as follows:

   
  Fair Valued Amount   % of
Net Assets
KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF   $ 1,462,403       17.6 % 
KraneShares CSI New China ETF     56,428       2.1 % 
KraneShares FTSE Emerging Markets Plus ETF     4,009       0.2 % 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their 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 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost).

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds’ do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term).

Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.

For the period ended September 30, 2015, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.

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.

52

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

As of September 30, 2015, management of the Funds has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is generally recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income for certain issuers headquartered in countries which the Funds invest may not be recorded until approved by the shareholders (which may occur after the ex-dividend date) if, in the judgment of management, such dividends are not reasonably determined as of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date.

Dividend income received from affiliated funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as income distributions in the Statement of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from affiliated funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statement of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are on the basis of specific identification.

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, except the KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF, 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 foreign currency transactions 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.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income at least annually. Any net realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem shares (“Shares”) at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of Shares (each block of Shares for a Fund is a Creation Unit or multiples thereof). These fees are subject to adjustment from time to time by the Adviser.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

The maximum creation and redemption fees for each Fund are listed below:

 
  Maximum creation and redemption fees
KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF   $ 6,000 and a variable fee  
KraneShares CSI New China ETF   $ 1,500  
KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF   $ 500  
KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF   $ 500 and a variable fee  
KraneShares FTSE Emerging Markets Plus ETF   $ 22,000  

Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain 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 Fund. 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 KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF generally expects that Creation Units of the Fund issued and redeemed principally for cash.

The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown as of September 30, 2015:

       
  Creation Unit Shares   Transaction Fee   Value   Redemption Fee
KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF     (300,000 )    $ 6,324     $ (14,128,034 )    $ 36,980  
KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF     (600,000 )      8,505       (17,337,200 )      13,807  
KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF     1,000,000       7,227       35,439,235       9,144  

Organizational Expenses

All organizational and offering expenses of the Trust were borne by the Adviser and will not be subject to future recoupment. As a result, organizational and offering expenses are not reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities.

Concentration of Risk

Cash at September 30, 2015, is held in time deposits at Brown Brothers Harriman. Amounts may exceed federally insured limits.

5. TAX INFORMATION

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.

5. TAX INFORMATION  – (continued)

The differences between book and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and investments in passive foreign investment companies. The Federal tax cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments held by the Funds at September 30, 2015 were as follows:

       
KraneShares Funds   Federal Tax Cost   Aggregated Gross Unrealized Appreciation   Aggregated Gross Unrealized Depreciation   Net Unrealized Depreciation
KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF   $ 10,088,626     $ 494,341     $ (2,317,825 )    $ (1,823,484 ) 
KraneShares CSI New China ETF     2,671,062       449,149       (476,518 )      (27,369 ) 
KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF     126,617,746             (29,336,251 )      (29,336,251 ) 
KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF     42,563,846       17,976       (792,567 )      (774,591 ) 
KraneShares FTSE Emerging Markets Plus ETF     2,513,184       37,430       (440,032 )      (402,602 ) 

Uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing the taxation of income distributions and capital gains from investments in A-Shares could result in unexpected tax liabilities for KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF. China generally imposes withholding tax at a rate of 10% on dividends and interest derived by non-Chinese resident investors (including, for example, Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII)) from Chinese companies and those companies which are not Chinese tax residents, but which are deemed to be Chinese tax residents (e.g., under Notice 7). China also imposes withholding tax at a rate of 10% on capital gains derived by nonresidents from investment in actual and constructive Chinese resident companies. The Chinese withholding taxes applied to dividends, interest and capital gains may, in principle, be subject to a reduced rate under an applicable Chinese tax treaty, but the application of such treaties in the case of a non-resident (e.g., in the case of a QFII acting on behalf of non-resident investors, such as the Funds) is also uncertain. The imposition of such taxes could have a material adverse effect on the Funds’ returns. The People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) rules regarding the taxation of non-resident investors are quickly evolving and certain of the tax regulations to be issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation and/or the PRC Ministry of Finance to clarify matters may apply retrospectively. Such retroactively applied rules may be adverse to the Funds and their shareholders. Effective November 17, 2014, QFIIs, RQFIIs (i.e., QFIIs investing in Yuan, rather than foreign currency) and non-Chinese resident investors investing through the Hong Kong-Shanghai Stock Connect are exempted temporarily from the 10% capital gains tax that normally applies to sales of “A” shares on a public Chinese exchange (such as the Shanghai stock market). However, such investors are still required to pay capital gains tax for gains realized on trades executed before November 17, 2014. The Funds have recorded capital gains tax for gains realized prior to November 17, 2014, and have reflected such taxes in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

As with all exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), shareholders of Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect a 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”.

59


 
 

[GRAPHIC MISSING]
 
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS  – (continued)

Geographic Concentration in China and Hong Kong

Because the Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued in China and Hong Kong, each Fund’s performance is expected to be closely tied to social, political, and economic conditions within China and Hong Kong and to be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds. These and other factors could have a negative impact on the Funds’ performance and increase the volatility of an investment in the Funds.

Industry Concentration Risk

In following its methodology, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperforms other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Chinese Credit Ratings Risk

The components of the Underlying Index securities, and therefore the securities held by the Fund, will be rated by Chinese ratings agencies (and not by U.S. entities, such as nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations (“NRSROs”)). The rating criteria and methodology used by Chinese rating agencies may be different from those adopted by NRSROs and international credit rating agencies. Therefore, such rating systems may not provide an equivalent standard for comparison with securities rated by international credit rating agencies.

Fixed Income Securities Risk

Fixed income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not make timely interest payments or repay the principal of bonds issued. Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a bond resulting from changes in the level of interest rates. When interest rates go up, the prices of most bonds go down; and when interest rates go down, the prices of most bonds go up. Bonds with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, typically making them more volatile. The current low-interest-rate environment heightens the risks associated with rising interest rates.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS  – (continued)

Market Risk

The trading prices of equity securities and other instruments fluctuate in response to a variety of factors. The Funds NAV and market price may fluctuate significantly in response to such factors. As a result, an investor could lose money over short or long periods of time.

Non-Diversification Risk

The Funds are considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of their assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if they were a diversified fund. To the extent a Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers, the Fund is subject to the risks of investing in those few issuers, and may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund.

7. OTHER

At September 30, 2015, the records of the Trust reflected that 100% of each Fund’s total Shares outstanding were each held by one Authorized Participant, in the form of Creation Units. However, the individual shares comprising such Creation Units are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. and a portion thereof have been purchased and sold by persons other than Authorized Participants. Each Authorized Participant has entered into an agreement with the Funds’ Distributor.

8. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior gains or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

9. ADVISER OBLIGATIONS

The Adviser serves as investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to unitary (or unified) fee investment advisory agreements (“Agreements”). As discussed in Note 3, the Adviser is responsible for certain expenses of the Funds (the “Expenses”). The Adviser is current with the payment of all Expenses or has entered into work-out arrangements to schedule the future payment by the Adviser of outstanding Expenses, which include amounts past due to certain service providers of the Funds, and a principal of the Adviser has entered into a personal guarantee to guarantee the payment by the Adviser of such Expenses. Nevertheless, it cannot be certain that the outstanding Expenses will be paid on the agreed-upon work-out schedule or that future Expenses will be timely paid, which, in the case of non-payment, could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Funds. In the event that outstanding Expenses are not paid on schedule or that future Expenses are not timely paid, the Board may seek to appoint a new investment adviser for the Funds, seek to adopt a voluntary plan of liquidation of the Funds, and/or take any other action that the Board deems to be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. The Board does not currently intend to adopt a voluntary plan of liquidation.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of the date the financial statements were issued.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited)

All Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF’s”) 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, commissions, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. In addition, a shareholder is responsible for brokerage fees as a result of their investment in the Fund.

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 (April 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015).

The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return.  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 5% Return.  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 Securities and Exchange 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.

Supplemental Information (unaudited)

Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per Share at which the Funds issue and redeem Shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of the Funds generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Funds are listed for trading, as of the time that the Funds’ NAV is calculated. The Funds’ Market Price may be at, above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Funds will fluctuate with changes in the market value of their holdings. The Market Price of the Funds will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their 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 the Funds on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that the Funds are trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that the Funds are trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Further information regarding premiums and discounts is available on the Funds’ website at KraneShares.com
