NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS May 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The SP Funds S&P 500 Sharia Industry Exclusions ETF (the “Sharia ETF”), the SP Funds Dow Jones Global Sukuk ETF (the “Sukuk ETF”), and the SP Funds S&P Global REIT ETF (the “Global REIT ETF”) (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a series of shares of beneficial interest of Tidal ETF Trust (the “Trust”). The Sukuk ETF is a diversified series and each of the Sharia ETF and the Global REIT ETF is a non-diversified series of the Trust. The Sukuk ETF commenced operations as a non-diversified series, however, the Fund continuously operated as diversified for three years and as of December 27, 2022, is now classified as diversified. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 4, 2018 and is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of each Fund’s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Trust is governed by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Toroso Investments, LLC (“Toroso” or the “Adviser”), a Tidal Financial Group company, serves as investment adviser to the Funds and ShariaPortfolio, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) serves as sub-adviser to the Funds. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services—Investment Companies.” The Sharia ETF commenced operations on December 17, 2019, the Sukuk ETF commenced operations on December 27, 2019 and the Global REIT ETF commenced operations on December 29, 2020.

The investment objective of the Sharia ETF is to seek to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P 500 Shariah Industry Exclusions Index (the “Sharia Index”). The investment objective of the Sukuk ETF is to seek to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones Sukuk Total Return (ex-Reinvestment) Index (the “Sukuk Index”). The investment objective of the Global REIT ETF is to seek to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P Global All Equity REIT Shariah Capped Index (the “Global REIT Index”).

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

A.Security Valuation. Equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Business Development Companies (“BDCs”), and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), 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 on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices for long and short positions. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from recognized independent pricing agents (“Independent Pricing Agents”) each day that the Funds are open for business.

Sukuk securities are valued by using an evaluated mean of the bid and asked prices provided by Independent Pricing Agents. The Independent Pricing Agents may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions (if the security is actively traded), broker dealer supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. In arriving at valuations, such methodologies generally consider factors such as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities.

Effective September 8, 2022, for securities for which quotations are not readily available, under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value is determined by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable, of the Adviser, subject to oversight by the Board. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Adviser’s Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value (“NAV”) of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

19

SP Funds

Level 1 –

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

Level 2 –

Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 –

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing a Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s investments as of May 31, 2023:

B.Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, the Funds intend to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of their net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of their net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.

As of May 31, 2023, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Delaware; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.

C.Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts/premiums on sukuk securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends received from REITs generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains, and may include return of capital. Sukuk income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

D.Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, for the Funds are declared and paid at least monthly. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities, if any, for the Funds normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

E.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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F.Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for trading.

G.Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

H.Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board-approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) that requires, among other things, that each Fund limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. An illiquid investment is any security that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If a Fund should be in a position where the value of illiquid investments held by the Fund exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets, the Fund will take such steps as set forth in the Program.

I.Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Funds are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of these amendments on the financial statements.

NOTE 3 – PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

A.Concentration Risk. Each Fund’s investments will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent the Index is so concentrated. In such event, the value of shares of the Funds may rise and fall more than the value of shares that invest in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.

Concentration in REITs (Global REIT ETF Only). The Fund concentrates in REITs. A REIT is a company that owns or finances income-producing real estate and meets certain requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as more fully described in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”). Through its investments in REITs, the Fund is subject to the risks of investing in the real estate market, including decreases in property revenues, increases in interest rates, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, legal and regulatory changes, a lack of credit or capital, defaults by borrowers or tenants, environmental problems and natural disasters.

REITs are subject to additional risks, including those related to adverse governmental actions; declines in property value and the real estate market; the potential failure to qualify for tax-free pass through of income; and exemption from registration as an investment company. REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and may invest in relatively few

SP Funds

properties, a small geographic area, or a small number of property types. As a result, investments in REITs may be volatile. To the extent the Fund invests in REITs concentrated in specific geographic areas or property types, the Fund may be subject to a greater loss as a result of adverse developments affecting such area or property types. REITs are pooled investment vehicles with their own fees and expenses and the Fund will indirectly bear a proportionate share of those fees and expenses.

B.Credit Risk (Sukuk ETF Only). Debt securities are subject to the risk of an issuer’s (or other party’s) failure or inability to meet its obligations under the security. Multiple parties may have obligations under a debt security. An issuer or borrower may fail to pay principal and interest when due. A guarantor, insurer or credit support provider may fail to provide the agreed upon protection. A counterparty to a transaction may fail to perform its side of the bargain. An intermediary or agent interposed between the investor and other parties may fail to perform the terms of its service. Also, performance under a debt security may be linked to the obligations of other persons who may fail to meet their obligations. The credit risk associated with a debt security could increase to the extent that the Fund’s ability to benefit fully from its investment in the security depends on the performance by multiple parties of their respective contractual or other obligations. The market value of a debt security is also affected by the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer.

C.Currency Risk (Global REIT ETF Only). The Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for any number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.

D.Emerging Markets Risk (Sukuk ETF and Global REIT ETF Only). Investments in emerging market securities impose risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed countries, including: smaller market capitalization; significant price volatility; and restrictions on foreign investment. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments and may present the risk of nationalization of businesses, expropriation, and confiscatory taxation, or, in certain instances, reversion to closed market, centrally planned economies. Emerging market economies may also experience more severe downturns. The currencies of emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar, and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by the Funds. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries. In addition, less information may be available about companies in emerging markets than in developed markets because such emerging markets companies may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or to other regulatory practices required by U.S. companies which may lead to potential errors in index data, index computation and/or index construction. Such conditions may impact the ability of the Funds to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities; adversely affect the trading market and price for such securities; and/or cause the Funds to decline in value.

E.Equity Market Risk (Sharia ETF and Global REIT ETF Only). The equity securities held in the Funds’ portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from specific issuers.

F.Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) Risks.

Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Funds have a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem shares of the Funds (“Shares”) directly from the Funds (known as “Authorized Participants” or “APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services; or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.

Cash Redemption Risk (Sukuk ETF Only). The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. For example, the Fund may not be able to redeem in-kind certain securities held by the Fund (e.g., sukuk that cannot be broken up beyond certain minimum sizes needed for transfer and settlement). In such a case, the Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used.

SP Funds

Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling shares of the Funds, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of shares of the Funds may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in shares of the Funds may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate a Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. Because securities held by the Funds may trade on foreign exchanges that are closed when the Fund’s primary listing exchange is open, the Fund is likely to experience premiums and discounts greater than those of ETFs holding only domestic securities.

Trading. Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Funds’ underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for Shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings. These adverse effects on liquidity for Shares, in turn, could lead to wider bid/ask spreads and differences between the market price of Shares and the underlying value of those Shares.

G.Foreign Government Risk (Sukuk ETF Only). The Fund’s investment in securities issued by foreign governments or their agencies or instrumentalities (sovereign debt), including those that issue sukuk through a secondary issuing vehicle, differs from debt obligations issued by private entities in that, generally, remedies for defaults must be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party. Legal recourse is therefore limited. The foreign sovereign debt securities the Fund purchases involve specific risk, including that (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of political constraints, cash flow problems, and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their sovereign debt, which may require holders of such sovereign debt to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there are no bankruptcy proceedings by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. These and other factors can make investments in the Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments that track an index of domestic securities.

H.Foreign Securities Risks (Global REIT ETF Only). Investments in securities or other instruments of non-U.S. issuers involve certain risks not involved in domestic investments and may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than investments in securities of U.S. companies. Financial markets in foreign countries often are not as developed, efficient, or liquid as financial markets in the United States, and therefore, the prices of non-U.S. securities and instruments can be more volatile. In addition, the Fund will be subject to risks associated with adverse political and economic developments in foreign countries, which may include the imposition of economic sanctions. Generally, there is less readily available and reliable information about non-U.S. issuers due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards and regulatory practices.

I.Geographic Investment Risk (Sukuk ETF Only). To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region.

Risks of Investing in Saudi Arabia (Sukuk ETF Only). The ability of foreign investors to invest in Saudi Arabian issuers is new and untested. Such ability could be restricted or revoked by the Saudi Arabian government at any time, and unforeseen risks could materialize due to foreign ownership in such securities. The economy of Saudi Arabia is dominated by petroleum exports. A sustained decrease in petroleum prices could have a negative impact on all aspects of the economy. Investments in securities of Saudi Arabian issuers involves risks not typically associated with investments in securities of issuers in more developed countries that may negatively affect the value of the Fund’s investments. Such heightened risks may include, among others, expropriation and/or nationalization of assets, restrictions on and government intervention in international trade, confiscatory taxation, political instability, including authoritarian and/ or military involvement in governmental decision making, armed conflict, crime and instability as a result of religious, ethnic and/or socioeconomic unrest. There remains the possibility that instability in the larger Middle East region could adversely impact the economy of Saudi Arabia, and there is no assurance of political stability in Saudi Arabia.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS May 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)

23

SP Funds

Risks of Investing in the United Arab Emirates (Sukuk ETF Only). The economy of the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) is dominated by petroleum exports. A sustained decrease in commodity prices, particularly oil and natural gas, could have a negative impact on all aspects of the UAE economy. The non-oil UAE economy, which is concentrated in Dubai’s service sector, could be affected by declines in tourism, real estate, banking and re- export trade. The UAE and the governments of the individual emirates exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector. Governmental actions could have a significant effect on economic conditions in the UAE, which could adversely affect the value of the Fund. In addition, recent political instability and protests in North Africa and the Middle East have caused significant disruptions to many industries. Continued political and social unrest in these areas may adversely affect the value of the Fund.

J.Interest Rate Risk (Sukuk ETF Only). The income generated by debt securities owned by the Fund will be affected by changing interest rates. In addition, as interest rates rise the values of fixed income securities held by the Fund are likely to decrease. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem or “call” a security before its stated maturity, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Rising interest rates across the U.S. and international financial systems may result in fixed-income markets becoming more volatile. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. Interest rates have recently been historically low, so the Fund faces a heightened risk that rates may rise.

K.Market Capitalization Risk (Sharia ETF and Global REIT ETF Only).

Large-Capitalization Investing (Sharia ETF and Global REIT ETF Only). The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.

Mid-Capitalization Investing (Global REIT ETF Only). The securities of mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large-capitalization companies. The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole.

Small-Capitalization Investing (Global REIT ETF Only). The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large- or mid-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large- or mid-capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies.

L.Models and Data Risk. The composition of the Index is heavily dependent on proprietary quantitative models as well as information and data supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”). When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities from the Index universe that would have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and complete. If the composition of the Index reflects such errors, the Funds’ portfolio can be expected to also reflect the errors.

M.Non-Diversification Risk (Sharia ETF and Global REIT ETF). Because each fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers could cause each Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Funds held a more diversified portfolio.

N.Passive Investment Risk. The Funds invest in the securities included in, or representative of, its respective Index regardless of their investment merit. Each Fund does not attempt to outperform its respective Index or take defensive positions in declining markets. As a result, a Fund’s performance may be adversely affected by a general decline in the market segments relating to its Index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS May 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)

O.Sector Risk. To the extent a Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.

Information Technology Sector Risk (Sharia ETF Only). The Fund may invest in companies in the information technology sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. Market or economic factors impacting information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability.

Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk (Sharia ETF Only). The Fund may invest in companies in the consumer discretionary sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. The success of consumer product manufacturers and retailers is tied closely to the performance of domestic and international economies, interest rates, exchange rates, competition, consumer confidence, changes in demographics and consumer preferences. Companies in the consumer discretionary sector depend heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending, and may be strongly affected by social trends and marketing campaigns. These companies may be subject to severe competition, which may have an adverse impact on their profitability.

Financials Sector Risk (Sukuk ETF Only). Performance of companies in the financials sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates, and decreased liquidity in credit markets. Companies in the financial services sector may also be negatively impacted by disruptions in the banking industry. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, recent or future regulation of any individual financial company or of the financials sector as a whole cannot be predicted. In recent years, cyber attacks and technology malfunctions and failures have become increasingly frequent in this sector and have caused significant losses to companies in this sector, which may negatively impact the Fund. As of May 31, 2023, 23.9% of the Fund’s assets were invested in the financials sector.

P.Sharia-Compliant Investing Risk. Islamic religious law, commonly known as “Sharia,” has certain restrictions regarding finance and commercial activities permitted for Muslims, including interest restrictions and prohibited industries, which reduces the size of the overall universe in which the Funds can invest. The strategy to reduce the investable universe may limit investment opportunities and adversely affect each Fund’s performance, especially in comparison to a more diversified fund. Because Islamic principles preclude the use of interest-paying instruments, cash reserves do not earn income.

Q.Sukuk Risk (Sukuk ETF only). Sukuk are financial certificates that are similar to conventional bonds but are structured to comply with Sharia law and its investments principles, which, among other things, prohibit charging or paying interest. Sukuk involve many of the same risks that conventional bonds incur such as credit risk and interest rate risk. In addition to these risks, there are certain risks specific to sukuk. Sukuk represent undivided shares in the ownership of certificates, and such certificates are linked to a specific investment activity, such as an underlying asset or contractual payment obligations of the issuer. Because no collateral is pledged as security for sukuk, purchasers of sukuk are subject to the risk that an issuer may not meet its payment obligations or that an underlying asset may not perform as expected or lose value. While the sukuk market has grown significantly in recent years, there may be times when the market is illiquid and it is difficult for the Fund to make an investment in or dispose of sukuk.

R.Tax Risk (Global REIT ETF Only). To qualify for the favorable tax treatment generally available to regulated investment companies, the Fund must satisfy certain diversification requirements. In particular, the Fund generally may not acquire a security if, as a result of the acquisition, (i) more than 50% of the value of the Fund’s assets would be invested in (a) issuers in which the Fund has, in each case, invested more than 5% of the Fund’s assets or (b) issuers more than 10% of whose outstanding voting securities are owned by the Fund or (ii) more than 25% of the value of the Fund’s assets would be invested in (a) the securities of any one issuer. Given the concentration of the Global REIT Index in a relatively small number of securities, it may not always be possible for the Fund to fully implement a replication strategy or a representative sampling strategy while satisfying these diversification requirements. The Fund’s efforts to satisfy the diversification requirements may affect the Fund’s execution of its investment strategy and may cause the Fund’s return to deviate from that of the Global REIT Index, and the Fund’s efforts to replicate or represent the Global REIT Index may cause it inadvertently to fail to satisfy the diversification requirements. If

25

SP Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS May 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)

the Fund were to fail to satisfy the diversification requirements, it could incur penalty taxes and be forced to dispose of certain assets, or it could fail to qualify as a regulated investment company. If the Fund were to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company, it would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation, and distributions to its shareholders would not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income.

S.Tracking Error Risk. As with all index funds, the performance of a Fund and its Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, a Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, a Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Index.

T.Underlying Index Risk. Neither the Adviser nor the Index Provider is able to guarantee the continuous availability or timeliness of the production of the Index. The calculation and dissemination of the Index values may be delayed if the information technology or other facilities of the Index Provider, calculation agent, data providers and/or relevant stock exchange malfunction for any reason. A significant delay may cause trading in shares of a Fund to be suspended. Errors in Index data, computation and/or the construction in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider, calculation agent or other applicable party for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Funds and their shareholders.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS May 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)

The credit facility is an uncommitted, senior secured 364-day umbrella line of credit used for the benefit of certain funds within the Trust. The maximum available credit is disclosed at the Trust level. The Fund’s ability to borrow is therefore limited by borrowings of other funds within the Trust which are party to the agreement and to one-third of the Fund’s total assets.

NOTE 8 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Exchange. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in large blocks of shares (“Creation Units”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units 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 Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

Each Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for the Funds is $500, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for transaction costs associated with the cash transactions. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed in the capital shares transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.

NOTE 9 – RECENT MARKET EVENTS

U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including rising inflation, uncertainty regarding central banks interest rate increases, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions, political events, the war between Russia and Ukraine and the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. The global recovery from COVID-19 may last for an extended period of time. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have adverse effects on your account.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Effective June 29, 2023, the Trust’s credit facility with U.S. Bank N.A., on behalf of certain series of the Trust, including the Global REIT ETF, was renewed with an expiration date of June 28, 2024. The maximum available credit limit and interest rate terms remained as disclosed in Note 7 of these Notes to Financial Statements.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES For the Six-Months Ended May 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of the Funds’ shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Funds. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from December 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The examples include, but are not limited to, unitary fees. However, the examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds 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 the Funds’ shares. Therefore, the second line of the following tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Investment Advisory AND SUB-ADVISORY AgreementS Renewal Disclosure (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of Tidal ETF Trust (the “Trust”) met at a meeting held on December 14, 2022 to consider the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the SP Funds Dow Jones Global Sukuk ETF (the “Sukuk ETF”), SP Funds S&P 500 Sharia Industry Exclusions ETF (the “Sharia ETF”) and SP Funds S&P Global REIT Sharia ETF (the “Global REIT Sharia ETF”) (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust, and Toroso Investments, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”). Prior to this meeting, the Board requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including a copy of the Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by outside legal counsel to the Trust and Independent Trustees discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, due diligence materials relating to the Adviser (including the due diligence response completed by the Adviser with respect to a specific request letter from outside legal counsel to the Trust and Independent Trustees, the Adviser’s Form ADV, select ownership, organizational, financial and insurance information for the Adviser, biographical information of the Adviser’s key management and compliance personnel, detailed comparative information regarding the unitary advisory fees for the Funds, and information regarding the Adviser’s compliance program) and other pertinent information. Based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term.

Discussion of Factors Considered

In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and reaching their conclusions, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.

1.Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s overall services provided to the Funds as well as its specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Funds. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the Adviser’s investment management team, including Michael Venuto and Charles Ragauss, who each serve as a portfolio manager to the Funds, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Adviser involved in the day to day activities of the Funds. The Board reviewed due diligence information provided by the Adviser, including information regarding the Adviser’s compliance program, its compliance personnel and compliance record, as well as the Adviser’s cybersecurity program and business continuity plan. The Board noted that the Adviser does not manage any other accounts that utilize a strategy similar to that employed by each of the Funds.

The Board also considered other services provided to the Funds, such as monitoring adherence to each Fund’s investment strategy and restrictions, oversight of ShariaPortfolio, Inc. (“ShariaPortfolio” or the “Sub-Adviser”), the Fund’s sub-adviser, and other service providers to the Funds, monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations, and monitoring the extent to which each Fund achieves its investment objective as a passively-managed ETF. The Board noted that the Funds are each designed to track the performance of an index and that the Adviser is responsible for portfolio management and trade execution for each Fund and the Sub-Adviser serves a limited role ensuring Sharia compliance for each Fund.

The Board concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods, and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and managing the Funds and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided to the Funds, as well as the Adviser’s compliance program, were satisfactory.

2.Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser. The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund and the Adviser. The Board noted that each Fund was designed to track the performance of an index and considered the extent to which each Fund tracked its respective index, before fees and expenses, in addition to the performance of the Fund against its respective benchmark index and respective peer group.

The Board considered the performance of the Sharia ETF on an absolute basis, in comparison to its underlying index (the S&P 500 Shariah Industry Exclusions Index), in comparison to its benchmark index (the S&P 500 Total Return Index), and in comparison to a peer group of funds in the Sharia ETF’s current Morningstar category based on comparative information prepared by Fund Services utilizing data provided by Morningstar Direct (a peer group of U.S. large growth funds) (the “SPUS Morningstar Peer Group”). The Board considered the Sharia ETF’s performance versus its underlying index and noted factors

32

SP Funds

that contributed to any tracking error. The Board noted that the Sharia ETF underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index over the year-to-date and one-year periods ended October 31, 2022, but outperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index over the since inception period ended October 31, 2022. The Board also noted that the Sharia ETF outperformed the SPUS Morningstar Peer Group average for the year-to-date and one-year periods ended October 31, 2022.

The Board considered the performance of the Sukuk ETF on an absolute basis, in comparison to its underlying index (the Dow Jones Sukuk Total Return (ex-Reinvestment) Index), in comparison to its benchmark index (the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index (the “Bloomberg Index”)), and in comparison to a peer group of funds in the Sukuk ETF’s current Morningstar category based on comparative information prepared by Fund Services utilizing data provided by Morningstar Direct (a peer group of U.S. global bond funds) (the “SPSK Morningstar Peer Group”). The Board considered the Sukuk ETF’s performance versus its underlying index and noted factors that contributed to any tracking error noting that the Adviser had engaged additional brokers in certain foreign markets to execute Fund transactions in an effort to reduce tracking error. The Board noted that the Sukuk ETF outperformed the Bloomberg Index over the year-to-date, one-year and since inception periods ended October 31, 2022. The Board also noted that the Sukuk ETF outperformed the SPSK Morningstar Peer Group average for the year-to-date and one-year periods ended October 31, 2022.

The Board considered the performance of the Global REIT Sharia ETF on an absolute basis, in comparison to its underlying index (the S&P Global All Equity REIT Shariah Capped Index), in comparison to its benchmark index (the S&P 500 Total Return Index), in comparison to a secondary benchmark (the S&P Developed REIT Total Return Index), and in comparison to a peer group of funds in the Global REIT Sharia ETF’s current Morningstar category based on comparative information prepared by Fund Services utilizing data provided by Morningstar Direct (a peer group of U.S. real estate funds) (the “SPRE Morningstar Peer Group”). The Board considered the Global REIT Sharia ETF’s performance versus its underlying index and noted factors that contributed to any tracking error. The Board noted that the Global REIT Sharia ETF underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index over the year-to-date, one-year and since inception periods ended October 31, 2022, underperformed the S&P Developed REIT Total Return Index over the year-to-date period ended October 31, 2022, and outperformed the S&P Developed REIT Total Return Index over the one-year and since inception periods ended October 31, 2022. The Board also noted that the Global REIT Sharia ETF underperformed the SPRE Morningstar Peer Group average for the year-to-date and one-year periods ended October 31, 2022.

After considering all of the information, the Board concluded that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory under current market conditions and that the Adviser has the necessary expertise and resources in providing investment advisory services in accordance with each Fund’s investment objective and strategies. Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Board determined that each Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the Adviser’s continued management.

3.Cost of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser. The Board considered the cost of services and the structure of the Adviser’s advisory fees, including a review of comparative expenses, expense components and peer group selection for each Fund. The Board took into consideration that the advisory fee was a “unitary fee,” meaning that each Fund pays no expenses other than the advisory fee and certain other costs such as interest, brokerage, and extraordinary expenses and, to the extent it is implemented, fees pursuant to each Fund’s Rule 12b 1 Plan. The Board noted that the Adviser continues to be responsible for compensating the Trust’s other service providers and paying each Fund’s other expenses out of its own fee and resources, subject to the contractual agreement by an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser to assume such obligation in exchange for the profits, if any, generated by each Fund’s unitary fees. The Board also considered the overall profitability of the Adviser and examined the level of profits accrued to the Adviser from the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement.

The Board noted that the Sharia ETF’s advisory fee of 0.49% was above the SPUS Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.33% and the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.49% was above the SPUS Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.36%.

The Board noted that the Sukuk ETF’s advisory fee of 0.59% was above the SPSK Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.41% and the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.59% was above the SPSK Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.40%.

The Board noted that the Global REIT Sharia ETF’s advisory fee of 0.59% was above the SPRE Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.38% and the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.59% was above the SPRE Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.37%. The Board also noted that the Adviser had agreed, effective December 1, 2022, to lower the Fund’s advisory fee from 0.69% to 0.59%.

SP Funds

The Board concluded that each Fund’s expense ratio and advisory fee were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance, advisory fee and expense information and the investment management services provided to the Fund by the Adviser given the nature of the Fund’s strategies. The Board also evaluated, based on a profitability analysis prepared by the Adviser, the fees received by the Adviser and its affiliates and the profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund, and concluded that the fees had not been, and currently were not, excessive, and the Adviser had adequate financial resources to support its services to each Fund from the revenues of its overall investment advisory business.

4.Extent of Economies of Scale as the Funds Grow. The Board compared each Fund’s expenses relative to its Morningstar Peer Group and discussed realized and potential economies of scale. The Board considered the potential economies of scale that each Fund might realize under the structure of the advisory fees. The Board noted the advisory fees did not contain any breakpoint reductions as each Fund’s assets grow in size, but that the Adviser would evaluate future circumstances that may warrant breakpoints in the fee structures.

5.Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by the Adviser and its affiliates from association with the Funds. The Board concluded that the benefits the Adviser may receive, such as greater name recognition or the ability to attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable and in many cases may benefit the Funds.

Conclusion. Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, with no single factor determinative of a conclusion, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that: (a) the terms of the Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable; (b) the advisory fees are reasonable in light of the services that the Adviser provides to each of the Funds; and (c) the approval of renewal of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

At the meeting held on December 14, 2022, the Board also considered the renewal of the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Funds, entered into between the Adviser and ShariaPortfolio. Prior to this meeting, the Board requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including a copy of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by outside legal counsel to the Trust and the Independent Trustees discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, due diligence materials prepared by the Sub-Adviser (including the due diligence response completed by the Sub-Adviser with respect to a specific request letter from outside legal counsel to the Trust and the Independent Trustees, the Sub-Adviser’s Form ADV, select ownership, organizational, financial and insurance information for the Sub-Adviser, biographical information of key management and compliance personnel, and the Sub-Adviser’s compliance manual and code of ethics) and other pertinent information. Based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Independent Trustees), approved the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term.

Discussion of Factors Considered

In considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and reaching their conclusions, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.

1.Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of ShariaPortfolio’s overall services provided to the Funds, as well as its specific responsibilities in aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Funds. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Naushad Virji, who serves as a portfolio manager for each Fund, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of ShariaPortfolio involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. The Board reviewed the due diligence information provided by ShariaPortfolio, including information regarding ShariaPortfolio’s compliance program, its compliance personnel and compliance record, as well as ShariaPortfolio’s cybersecurity program and business continuity plan. The Board noted that ShariaPortfolio does not manage any other accounts that utilize a strategy similar to that employed by each Fund.

The Board also considered other services provided to the Funds by ShariaPortfolio. The Board noted that ShariaPortfolio is responsible for ensuring Sharia compliance on behalf of each Fund, subject to oversight by the Adviser, and that ShariaPortfolio monitors the extent to which each Fund meets its investment objective as a passively-managed ETF.

SP Funds

The Board concluded that ShariaPortfolio had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement and managing the Funds and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided to the Funds, as well as ShariaPortfolio’s compliance program, were satisfactory.

2.Investment Performance of the Funds and the Sub-Adviser. In considering Fund performance, the Board noted ShariaPortfolio’s limited role of ensuring Sharia compliance in the management of each Fund, and therefore concluded that performance of the Funds was not a relevant factor for consideration. The Board also noted that each Fund was designed to track the performance of an index and that the performance for each Fund was not a direct result of investment decisions made by the Adviser or ShariaPortfolio.

3.Cost of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Sub-Adviser. The Board considered the structure of the sub-advisory fees paid by the Adviser to ShariaPortfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that the Adviser represented to the Board that the sub-advisory fees payable under the Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable in light of the services performed by ShariaPortfolio. Since the sub-advisory fees are paid by the Adviser, the overall advisory fees paid by each of the Funds are not directly affected by the sub-advisory fees paid to ShariaPortfolio. Consequently, the Board did not consider the cost of services provided by ShariaPortfolio or profitability from its relationship with the Funds to be material factors for consideration given that ShariaPortfolio is not affiliated with the Adviser and, therefore, the sub-advisory fees paid to ShariaPortfolio were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis. Based on all of these factors, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fees paid to ShariaPortfolio by the Adviser reflected appropriate allocations of the advisory fees and were reasonable in light of the services provided by ShariaPortfolio.

4.Extent of Economies of Scale as the Funds Grow. Since the sub-advisory fees payable to ShariaPortfolio are not paid by each Fund, the Board did not consider whether the sub-advisory fees should reflect any realized or potential economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s assets increase.

5.Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by ShariaPortfolio from its association with the Funds. The Board concluded that the benefits ShariaPortfolio may receive, such as greater name recognition or the ability to attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable and in many cases may benefit the Funds.

Conclusion. Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, with no single factor determinative of a conclusion, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that: (a) the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable; (b) the sub-advisory fees are reasonable in light of the services that ShariaPortfolio provides to each Fund; and (c) the approval of renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
