Shareholder Letter (unaudited)
Message from the President
A year ago, the world was beginning to come to grips with COVID-19 and was struggling with how best to mitigate its effects. Today, with the help of an extraordinary coordination of monetary and fiscal policy and the availability of vaccines, the economy has continued to recover, and the markets have rebounded sharply.
The Federal Reserve kept interest rates low and assisted the proper functioning of markets while fiscal stimulus provided a broad range of relief, including to individuals and small businesses. This helped markets stabilize early in the reporting period as investors anticipated further stimulus and awaited progress on a vaccine.
Investors initially sought out higher-quality investments such as investment grade corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities, though technology stocks that benefited from work-from-home orders also drew substantial attention. But investors were apparently optimistic about a possible vaccine as the S&P 500® Index, a widely followed measure of U.S. equities, was reaching record highs by August.
When vaccine approvals occurred in November and a $900 billion relief package passed in December, investors shifted further out of safer investments, causing yields on longer-dated U.S. Treasuries to rise. Combined with brighter economic prospects and attractively priced cyclical and value stocks, this took a toll on the technology shares that had seen their valuations soar when the pandemic was at its height.
In January, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged, pointing out that the pace of the global recovery was still uncertain, and that inflation was still low. But the massive fiscal and monetary stimulus that had supported the economic recovery soon gave rise to concerns about inflation. In March, the $1.9 billion American Rescue Plan was passed, providing payments of  $1,400 for those earning less than $75,000 per year, plus $1,400 per dependent. This, combined with a proposed $2 trillion infrastructure spending bill, fueled inflation expectations.
As these concerns grew, traditional asset classes experienced substantial volatility. While investment grade corporate bonds performed well early on, their historically low yields became unattractive in light of rising inflation expectations. Despite volatility stemming from the sell-off in longer-dated U.S. Treasuries, the municipal bond market posted a modest gain, helped by $350 billion in support from Washington and the prospect of an increase in federal income tax rates.
Although the S&P 500® Index posted double-digit gains and repeatedly hit record highs during the reporting period, the shift in investor sentiment to cyclical and value-oriented stocks was disruptive, resulting in a sell-off in growth stocks that affected the shares of technology companies, many of which had benefited from the work-from-home environment. As a result, value stocks outperformed growth stocks in the second half of the reporting period, but for the full 12-month reporting period, growth stocks still outperformed value stocks.
With investor sentiment moving away from growth-oriented companies, cyclical sectors performed well. Financials led the way, along with materials and industrials. The more defensive sectors, including consumer staples, utilities, and health care, lagged. A shift was also evident in the performance of small-cap stocks, which easily outperformed large caps. While developed markets trailed the U.S. market somewhat, emerging markets benefited from surging commodities prices, finishing ahead of the U.S.
Despite the volatility, the ETFs in the IndexIQ ETF Trust continued to maintain their investment disciplines and to offer a range of liquid alternatives to meet a variety of objectives. On the following pages, we provide an in-depth review of the factors that drove performance of each ETF during the 12-months ended April 30, 2021.
If you have any questions or would like more information about IndexIQ ETFs, we invite you to visit us at newyorklifeinvestments.com or call us at 1-888-474-7725.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF
How did IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2021?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF returned 11.01% at NAV (net asset value) and 11.26% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Index2 returned 11.76% for the reporting period. The HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index2 and S&P 500® Index2 returned 22.54% and 45.25%, respectively, for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The factor with the greatest impact on the ETF’s performance during the reporting period was the massive amount of liquidity that was injected into the economy and markets by both governments and central banks around the world to address the fall-out from COVID-19-related shutdowns. Increased liquidity had tremendous implications for interest rates and credit spreads,3 affecting bond markets, equity market levels, commodity prices and currencies. While the economy continued to languish as pandemic-related shutdowns persisted, capital markets were buoyed by the liquidity. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s support and purchases of corporate bonds, coupled with a sharp drop in interest rates, propelled certain segments of the bond market higher. Equity markets were the direct beneficiaries of the extra liquidity, especially in the United States where they rebounded sharply off their March 2020 lows. Later in the reporting period, commodity prices began to surge as vaccine distribution ramped up and economies began to reopen, prompting concerns about an acceleration in inflation.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The ETF used derivative positions where necessary to help it track its Underlying Index, which contained both long and short positions. The ETF’s derivatives positions were primarily total return swaps on the Underlying ETFs at the weights in which they were included in the Underlying Index. Derivatives were not used to gain leverage beyond the index positioning; rather, they were used exclusively to enable the ETF to track its Underlying Index.
How were the ETF’s assets allocated during the reporting period and why?
The positions in the ETF’s Underlying Index were driven by quantitative models that determined the weights across the various hedge fund strategies represented in the ETF, as well as the weights of the assets within these strategies. Given the rules-based nature of this approach, there was no subjectivity involved in the allocation decision process.
How did the ETF’s allocations change over the course of the reporting period?
The ETF maintained its core allocation to bonds during the reporting period, with its bond allocation increasing from 68.00 to 84.00%. Among bonds, the ETF’s U.S. short-term bond, investment-grade bond and convertible bond allocations remained the highest weighted sectors, totaling over 55% of the ETF’s assets as of April 30, 2021. During the same period, the ETF’s equity allocation decreased from 26.00 to 13.00%, with its emerging-market equity allocations increasing from 1.70 to 5.00%. Other satellite positions accounted for a relatively small percentage of the ETF’s remaining allocations, with currencies decreasing from a short position of −1.40 to −2.00%. Annual portfolio turnover was 168.70% for the reporting period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)(continued)
During the reporting period, which Underlying ETFs had the highest total returns and which Underlying ETFs had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing Underlying ETFs held in the ETF during the reporting period were iShares S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF, iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF and SPDR® S&P® Bank ETF. During the same period, iPath® Series B S&P 500® VIX Short-Term FuturesTM ETN, iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF and Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF recorded the lowest total returns.
Which Underlying ETFs were the strongest contributors to the ETF’s performance and which Underlying ETFs were particularly weak?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the Underlying ETFs that made the greatest positive contributions to the ETF’s performance during the reporting period were SPDR® Bloomberg Barclays Convertible Securities ETF, SPDR® S&P® Emerging Markets Small Cap ETF and Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF. The weakest contributors were Vanguard Value ETF, iPath® Series B S&P 500® VIX Short-Term FuturesTM ETN and iShares MSCI USA Min Vol Factor ETF. The Vanguard Value ETF and iShares MSCI USA Min Vol Factor ETF detracted from performance due to the ETF’s short positions in positive-returning assets during the reporting period.
How was the ETF positioned at the end of the reporting period?
As of April 30, 2021, the ETF maintained its core allocation to bonds at approximately 84.00%, with its allocation to equities at 13.00%. Other satellite positions accounted for a relatively small percentage of the ETF’s remaining allocations, with commodities at 3.60% and currencies at 0.90%. Among bonds, 25.10% of the ETF’s assets were allocated to U.S. ultra-short-term instruments, 18.50% to investment-grade corporate bonds and 12.90% to convertible bonds. Among equities, 5.10% of the ETF’s assets were allocated to emerging market stocks and 2.80% to U.S. small-cap growth stocks.

IQ Hedge Long/Short Tracker ETF
How did IQ Hedge Long/Short Tracker ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2021?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), IQ Hedge Long/Short Tracker ETF returned 26.42% at NAV (net asset value) and 25.76% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, IQ Hedge Long/Short Index2 returned 27.12% for the reporting period. The HFRI Equity Hedge Index2 and the MSCI World Index2 returned 42.17% and 45.33%, respectively, for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The factor with the greatest impact on the ETF’s performance during the reporting period was the massive amount of liquidity that was injected into the economy and markets by both governments and central banks around the world to address the fall-out from COVID-19-related shutdowns. Increased liquidity had tremendous implications for interest rates and credit spreads,3 affecting bond markets, equity market levels, commodity prices and currencies. While the economy continued to languish as pandemic-related shutdowns persisted, capital markets were buoyed by the liquidity. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s support and purchases of corporate bonds, coupled with a sharp drop in interest rates, propelled certain segments of the bond market higher. Equity markets were the direct beneficiaries of the extra liquidity, especially in the United States where they rebounded sharply off their March 2020 lows. Later in the reporting period, commodity prices began to surge as vaccine distribution ramped up and economies began to reopen, prompting concerns about an acceleration in inflation.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The ETF used derivative positions where necessary to help it track the Underlying Index, which contained both long and short positions. The ETF’s derivatives positions were primarily total return swaps on the Underlying ETFs at the weights in which they were included in the Underlying Index. Derivatives were not used to gain leverage beyond the index positioning; rather, they were used exclusively to enable the Fund to track its Underlying Index.
How were the ETF’s assets allocated during the reporting period and why?
The positions in the ETF’s Underlying Index were driven by quantitative models that determined the weights across the various hedge fund strategies represented in the ETF, as well as the weights of the assets within these strategies. Given the rules-based nature of this approach, there was no subjectivity involved in the allocation decision process.
How did the ETF’s allocations change over the course of the reporting period?
The ETF maintained its core allocation to equities at 61.50% during the reporting period, followed by bonds at 33.40% and satellite allocations to real estate of 3.80% and volatility of 1.30%. During the same period, the ETF’s equity weight decreased from 73.90 to 61.50%. Specifically, the ETF’s U.S. large-cap core allocation increased from 12.60 to 22.00% and the international small-cap equity allocation increased significantly from 4.27 to 19.60%, while the international equity core allocation decreased from 18.10 to 12.90%. Among bond allocations, the ETF’s investment-grade corporate bond position increased from 4.20 to 23.70%, while the U.S. ultra-short-term bond position decreased from 11.10 to 0.30%. Other satellite positions accounted for a relatively small percentage of the ETF’s remaining allocations, with real estate increasing from −2.70 to 3.80%, and volatility remaining at 1.00%. Annual portfolio turnover was 183.00% for the reporting period.

During the reporting period, which Underlying ETFs had the highest total returns and which Underlying ETFs had the lowest total returns?
In terms of total return, the best-performing Underlying ETFs held by the ETF during the reporting period were iShares S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth ETF, iShares Russell 2000 Growth ETF and Vanguard Small-Cap Growth ETF. During the same period, iPath® Series B S&P 500® VIX Short-Term Futures™ ETN, iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF and Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF recorded the lowest total returns.

Among bond holdings, the ETF’s investment-grade corporate bond weighting was 23.70% and its bank loan weighting was 9.40%.

IQ Hedge Event-Driven Tracker ETF
How did IQ Hedge Event-Driven Tracker ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2021?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), IQ Hedge Event-Driven Tracker ETF returned 18.65% at NAV (net asset value) and 18.86% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Hedge Event-Driven Index2 returned 19.14% for the reporting period.

IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF
How did IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2021?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF returned 8.89% at NAV (net asset value) and 8.23% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the S&P U.S. High Yield Low Volatility Corporate Bond Index2 returned 9.57% for the reporting period. The ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index returned 20.10% for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
The ETF underperformed the S&P U.S. High Yield Low Volatility Corporate Bond Index over the period primarily due to the cash holding in the ETF as well as transactions costs from rebalancing activity which are required to maintain its risk versus its benchmark. The ETF was also negatively impacted by relatively underweight positions in the energy and media sectors, which were partially offset by contributions from overweight exposure to insurance.
In terms of the rate environment, yields fell across the U.S. Treasury curve3 during the 2020 calendar year led by a 145 basis point decline in the 2-year rate. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) Monetary policy proved ultra-accommodative throughout the reporting period with various programs and facilities run by the U.S. central bank. Fiscal policy expanded at the end of December 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021, leading to higher inflation expectations and a sharp backup in intermediate and longer maturity Treasury rates. The 10-year and 30-year rates rose 83 basis points and 78 basis points, respectively, during the first quarter of 2021.
What was the ETF’s duration4 strategy during the reporting period?
The ETF maintained a neutral duration posture relative to the benchmark duration during the reporting period.
During the reporting period, which sectors made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s performance and which sectors made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, the sectors that made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance were health care providers & services, media, and real estate management & development. The sectors that made the weakest contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance were insurance; hotels restaurants & leisure; and oil, gas & consumable fuels.
What were some of the ETF’s largest purchases and sales during the reporting period?
The largest purchases in the ETF over the reporting period were securities issued by Ford Motor Credit Company, Centene and Targa Resources Partners. The most significant sales in the ETF over the same period were securities issued by Bausch Health Companies, CSC Holdings and Sprint.
The ETF’s purchases and sales were undertaken to mitigate risk versus the S&P U.S. High Yield Low Volatility Corporate Bond Index. All sales were partial positions.
How did the ETF’s sector weightings change during the reporting period?
The sectors experiencing the largest weighting increases in the ETF during the reporting period were real estate, energy and automotive. During the same period, the sectors with the most substantial weighting decreases were telecommunications, media and health care.

IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF
How did IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2021?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF returned 9.07% at NAV (net asset value) and 9.53% at market price.1 To compare, the Fund’s Underlying Index, the IQ Merger Arbitrage Index2 returned 9.81% for the reporting period. The HFRI Event Driven Merger Arbitrage Index,2 MSCI World Index2 and the S&P 500® Index2 returned 21.25%, 45.33% and 45.25%, respectively, for the same period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?
Early in the reporting period, the number of global merger and acquisition transactions first decreased as COVID-19-related shutdowns took hold. As markets adjusted to the shutdowns and global governments and central banks injected massive liquidity into the market, deal activity increased. Approximately 5% of deals in which the Underlying Index participated failed to complete due to deal termination or failure to maintain the strategy’s holding criteria. Approximately 78% of deals completed successfully, while approximately 17% of deals were removed for failing to meet criteria necessary to remain in the Underlying Index.
The strategy also employs a hedging methodology primarily using U.S. large-cap equities. Since U.S. large-cap equities produced positive overall returns during the reporting period, the ETF’s hedges produced negative returns.
During the reporting period, how was the Fund’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The ETF used hedges to dampen potential downward price performance of the acquiring company’s stock used in stock-based transactions. In cases when the acquiring company’s economic sector performed positively, the hedge detracted from performance. Conversely, when the acquiring company’s economic sector performed negatively, the hedge contributed positively to performance. As mentioned above, during the reporting period the ETF’s hedges produced negative returns. The ETF only hedged its exposure to stock-based transactions.
During the reporting period, which sectors made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s performance and which sectors made the weakest contributions?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, the sectors that provided the strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance were information technology and energy. The sectors providing the weakest contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance were real estate and utilities.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks made the strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance and which stocks detracted the most?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the stocks that made the strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance during the reporting period were Vivint Solar and WPX Energy. Vivint Solar is a leading, full-service residential solar provider in the United States. WPX Energy produces natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids from non-conventional resources such as tight-sands and shale formations, as well as from coalbed methane reserves.
During the same period, the weakest contributors to the ETF’s absolute performance were Taubman Centers and Noble Energy. Taubman Centers is an owner of regional malls in the United States, headquartered in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Noble Energy is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating a portfolio of assets onshore in the United States, offshore in the Eastern Mediterranean and off the west coast of Africa.

This led to a rotation in the market toward value-oriented stocks in cyclical industries and away from higher growth stocks as interest rates moved higher.

On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, the subsectors that made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance were technology services and health services.

Medtronic is a medical technology company that produces device-based medical therapies and services, several of which are linked to cardiac health.
The weakest contributors to the ETF’s absolute performance were NIKE and Merck. NIKE makes athletic and fitness-related footwear, apparel, accessories and equipment. Merck provides health solutions through its prescription medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies, animal health and consumer care products.
How did the ETF’s subsector weightings change during the reporting period?

IQ Chaikin U.S. Small Cap ETF
How did IQ Chaikin U.S. Small Cap ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2021?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), IQ Chaikin U.S. Small Cap ETF returned 77.31% at NAV (net asset value) and 77.34% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, the NASDAQ Chaikin Power US Small Cap Index2 returned 78.00% for the reporting period. The Russell 2000 Index2 and the NASDAQ US 1500 Index2 returned 74.91% and 83.73%, respectively, for the same period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
The factor with the greatest impact on the ETF’s performance during the reporting period was the massive amount of liquidity that was injected into the economy and markets by both governments and central banks around the world to address the fall-out from COVID-19-related shutdowns. Increased liquidity had tremendous implications for interest rates and credit spreads,3 affecting bond markets, equity market levels, commodity prices and currencies. While the economy continued to languish as pandemic-related shutdowns persisted, capital markets were buoyed by the liquidity. Equity markets were the direct beneficiaries of the extra liquidity, especially in the United States where they rebounded sharply off their March 2020 lows. As COVID-19 vaccine rollouts began to take place towards the latter part of the reporting period, we saw a sharp style rotation out of large-cap growth stocks and into large-cap value stocks. Expectations of the economy “returning to normal” also fueled small-caps stocks as they tend to perform well during periods of economic expansion. The market’s trend in favor of value over growth helped the ETF’s performance as its Underlying Index has value factors embedded in its selection process.
During the reporting period, which sectors were the strongest positive contributors to the ETF’s performance and which sectors were particularly weak?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into account, the sectors that made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance were consumer discretionary and financials. The sectors that made the weakest contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance were communication services and utilities.
During the reporting period, which individual stocks made the strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance and which stocks detracted the most?
On the basis of impact, which takes weightings and total returns into consideration, the stocks that made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s absolute performance during the reporting period included Sleep Number and U.S. Silica Holdings. Sleep Number designs, manufactures, markets and distributes beds, proprietary beds and other sleep-related accessories. U.S. Silica Holdings produces industrial silica and sand proppants.
During the same period, the weakest contributors to the ETF’s absolute performance were Peabody Energy and CoreCivic. Peabody Energy mines coal primarily for energy generation. CoreCivic develops and manages prisons and other correctional facilities.
How did the ETF’s sector weightings change during the reporting period?
The sectors experiencing the largest weighting increases in the ETF during the reporting period were financials and industrials. During the same period, the sectors with the most substantial weighting decreases were consumer discretionary and real estate.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs on purchases and sales and (2) ongoing costs, including Advisory fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. Shareholders may pay brokerage commissions on their purchase and sale of the Fund, which are not reflected in the example.
The examples are based on an investment of  $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information together with the amount you invested, in a particular fund, 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 11/01/2020 to 04/30/2021” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Each Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying funds in which each Fund invests. These expenses are not included in the table.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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 a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The Funds will indirectly bear their pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying fund investments in which the Funds invest. These expenses are not included in the table.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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. Each Fund prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and follows the significant accounting policies described below.
Use of Estimates
IndexIQ Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) makes certain 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 reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that may provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. 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. The Advisor believes that the risk of loss in connection with these potential indemnification obligations is remote. However, there can be no assurance that material liabilities related to such obligations will not arise in the future, which could adversely impact the Funds.
Investment Valuation
Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” A Creation Unit consists of 50,000 shares. The NAV is determined as of the close
181​

Notes to Financial Statements  (continued)
April 30, 2021
of trading (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time) on each day the Fund’s listed exchange is open for trading. The NAV of the shares of each Fund will be equal to each Fund’s total assets minus each Fund’s total liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of Creation Units, the NAV will be calculated to five decimal places. The consideration for purchase of a Creation Unit of shares of each Fund generally consists of a basket of securities and/or cash that the Fund specifies each day.
In calculating NAV, each Fund’s investments are valued using market quotations when available. Equity securities are generally valued at the closing price of the security on the security’s primary exchange. The primary exchanges for a Fund’s foreign equity securities may close for trading at various times prior to close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange Arca, and the value of such securities used in computing the Fund’s NAV are generally determined as of such times.
A Fund typically values fixed-income portfolio securities using last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by the Fund’s approved independent third-party pricing services. Pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values. Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at different prices that may be above or below the price at which the pricing service has valued the security. Amortized cost is used as the method of valuation with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity unless the Advisor determines in good faith that such method does not represent fair value.
A swap on an exchange-listed security or securities is valued based on the last reported sale price of the swap’s underlying security or securities on the exchange where the security or securities is primarily traded, or if no sale price is available, at the mid-price of the security or securities underlying the swap on the exchange where the security is primarily traded. A swap on an index is valued based on the publicly available index price. The index price, in turn, is determined by the applicable index calculation agent, which generally values the securities underlying the index at the last reported sale price.
Over-the-counter (“OTC”) traded financial Instruments, forward foreign currency contracts and currency-related derivatives, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from a third party broker-dealer who makes markets in such securities or on the basis of quotes obtained from an independent third-party pricing service.
If a Fund invests in open-end management investment companies (other than ETFs) registered under the 1940 Act, it may rely on the NAVs of those companies to value the shares they hold of them. Those companies may also use fair value pricing under some circumstances.
When market quotations or prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable or not representative of an investment’s fair value, investments are valued using fair value pricing as determined in good faith by the Advisor, under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The procedures state that, subject to the oversight of the Board and unless otherwise noted, the responsibility for the day-to-day valuation of portfolio assets (including fair value measurements for the Funds’ assets and liabilities) rests with the Advisor. The Advisor may conclude that a market quotation is not readily available or is unreliable if a security or other asset or liability does not have a price source due to its lack of liquidity or other reason, if a market quotation differs significantly from recent price quotations or otherwise no longer appears to reflect fair value, where the security or other asset or liability is thinly traded, or if the trading market on which a security is listed is suspended or closed and no appropriate alternative trading market is available. The frequency with which a Fund’s investments are valued using fair value pricing is primarily a function of the types of securities and other assets in which the Fund invests pursuant to its investment objective, strategies and limitations.
A Fund may sweep uninvested cash balances into a money market fund, either the Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Government Money Market Fund — Institutional Shares (“Dreyfus Institutional Fund”) or the
182

Notes to Financial Statements  (continued)
April 30, 2021
BlackRock Liquidity Funds Treasury Trust Fund Portfolio, Institutional Class (“BlackRock Liquidity Fund”). The Dreyfus Institutional Fund and the BlackRock Liquidity Fund seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Institutional Fund and the BlackRock Liquidity Fund have no redemption restriction and are valued at the daily NAV.
Under normal conditions, each Fund invests cash collateral from securities lending activities into the Dreyfus Government Cash Management Fund, Institutional Shares (“Dreyfus Government Fund”). The Dreyfus Government Fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Government Fund has no redemption restrictions and is valued at the daily NAV.
Fair Value Measurement
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the following hierarchy:

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 securities, 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 the Funds’ 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.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and are 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. With respect to the valuation of Level 3 securities, the Advisor may employ a market-based valuation approach which may use related or comparable securities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information to determine fair value. The Advisor may also use an income-based valuation approach in which anticipated future cash flows of the financial instrument are discounted to calculate fair value. The Advisor representatives meet regularly to review and discuss the appropriateness of such fair values using more current information, such as recent security news, recent market transactions, updated corporate action information and/or other macro or security specific events.
All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board, although the actual calculations may be done by others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements
183​

Notes to Financial Statements  (continued)
April 30, 2021
or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value each Fund’s investments at April 30, 2021 is disclosed at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency Translation — Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included on the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
Foreign securities and instruments are valued in their local currency following the methodologies described above. Foreign securities, instruments and currencies will be translated to U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by the London Stock Exchange.
Tax Information and Uncertain Tax Positions
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of the taxable income to the shareholders of the Funds within the allowable time limits.
The Advisor evaluates each Fund’s tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. The Advisor has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years (for up to three tax years), and has concluded that no provisions for federal, state and local income tax are required in each Fund’s financial statements. Each Fund’s federal, state and local income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state and local departments of revenue.
The Funds have concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions to Shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In addition, the Funds may determine to distribute at least annually amounts representing the full dividend yield net of expenses on the underlying investment securities, as if the Funds owned the underlying investment securities for the entire dividend period in which case some portion of each distribution may result in a return of capital. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital. Therefore, no federal, state and local income tax provisions are required.

Foreign Taxes
The Funds may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on income and other transaction-based taxes imposed by certain countries in which they invest. A portion of the taxes on gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes expected and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. Whether or when a Fund will receive a withholding tax refund is subject to a determination by the tax authorities of each country in which the Fund has an open receivable. The Funds regularly evaluate the probability of recovering each accrued withholding tax. If the likelihood of recovery decreases accruals in the Funds’ net asset value for such refunds may be written down partially or in full, which will adversely affect the Funds’ net asset value.
The Funds may be subject to taxation on realized capital gains, repatriation proceeds and other transaction-based taxes imposed by certain countries in which they invest. The Funds will accrue the unrecoverable portion of such taxes as applicable based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the market in which they invests. Capital gains taxes relating to positions still held are reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as well as an adjustment to the Funds’ net unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Taxes related to capital gains realized during the year ended April 30, 2021, if any, are reflected as part of net realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations. Changes in tax liabilities related to capital gains taxes on unrealized investment gains, if any, are reflected as part of the change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments on the Statements of Operations. Transaction-based charges are generally assessed as a percentage of the transaction amount.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less when acquired and are disclosed as “Short-Term Investments” in the Schedules of Investments.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities are calculated using the identified cost method.
Investment Income and Expenses
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-date. Interest income is accrued daily. Distributions of realized capital gains by underlying funds are recorded as realized capital gains on the ex-date. Expenses of the Trust arising in connection with a specific Fund are allocated to that Fund. Other Trust expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust based upon the relative net assets or other appropriate measures. The Funds distribute substantially all their net investment income to shareholders in the form of dividends. Net investment income and capital gains are typically distributed to shareholders at least annually; except the IQ U.S. Real Estate Small Cap ETF, IQ 500 International ETF, IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE International ETF, IQ Healthy Hearts ETF, IQ Candriam ESG International Equity ETF, IQ Candriam ESG U.S. Equity ETF, IQ Chaikin U.S. Small Cap ETF, and IQ Chaikin U.S. Large Cap ETF typically distributes income quarterly, and IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF typically distributes income monthly. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Distributions received from the IQ U.S. Real Estate Small Cap ETF and the IQ Chaikin U.S. Small Cap ETF investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT. The expenses of the investment companies in which the Funds invest are not included in the amounts shown as expenses on the Statements of Operations or in the expense ratios included in the Financial Highlights.
Discounts and premiums on securities purchased, other than Short-Term Investments, for the Funds are accreted and amortized, respectively, on the effective interest rate method over the life of the respective securities. Discounts and premiums on Short-Term Investments are accreted and amortized, respectively, on

the straight-line method. The straight-line method approximates the effective interest method for Short-Term Investments. Income from payment-in-kind securities is accreted daily based on the effective interest method.
Securities Lending
The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) serves as the Funds’ securities lending agent. The Funds may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Funds’ securities lending agent. It is the Funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral in the form of cash and/or high grade debt obligations, is maintained at all times. Cash collateral can be invested in certain money market mutual funds which also have exposure to the fluctuations of the market. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from fees paid by the borrowers of securities, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. Each Fund will continue to receive dividend and interest income on securities loaned, any gain or loss in the market price of securities on loan will be accounted for by each Fund. Lending portfolio securities could result in a delay in recovering the Funds’ securities if the borrower defaults.
A Fund’s security lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between each Fund and the lending agent. The Lending Agreement authorizes the lending agent to lend qualifying U.S. and foreign securities held by a Fund to approved borrowers (each a “Borrower”). To mitigate borrower risk, a Fund typically receives from a Borrower, collateral in the form of U.S. dollar cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. Under the provisions of the Lending Agreement, each Fund shall have, as to the collateral, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law. The lending agent is permitted to invest the cash collateral it receives from a Borrower into a money market Fund which is subject to market fluctuation. Therefore, a Fund is exposed to risk of loss if the value of invested cash collateral is insufficient to satisfy the Fund’s obligation to return the full amount owed to such Borrower.
In accordance with the securities lending agreement between the Funds and the BNY Mellon, the Funds will be indemnified by the BNY Mellon in the event of default of a third party Borrower.
The securities lending income earned by each Fund is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral are shown on a gross basis in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of April 30, 2021, the cash collateral consisted of an institutional money market fund and non-cash collateral consisted of U.S. Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, Separate Trading of

Master Netting Arrangements
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms, netting and rights of offset provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its derivatives counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset assets and liabilities subject to master netting arrangements or similar arrangements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Total return swap contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on Total Return Swap contracts of the instrument. Securities segregated as collateral for swap contracts are footnoted within each Fund’s Schedule of Investments and the cash collateral is noted at the end of each Fund’s swap table.
At April 30, 2021, the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on total return swap contracts for the following Funds was zero, reflecting a reset date at period end based on the contractual agreements with Merrill Lynch International (“MLI”) and Morgan Stanley Capital Service LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), as counterparties to the following Funds:

3. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Investment Advisory Agreement
The Advisor serves as the investment advisor to each series of the Trust and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Investment Management Holdings LLC. Under an Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and the Trust on behalf of each Fund, the Advisor provides a continuous investment program for each Fund’s assets in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and limitations, and oversees the day-to-day operations of each Fund (including arranging for sub-advisory services, as applicable) subject to the supervision of the Board. The Advisor is responsible for the supervision of MacKay Shields LLC (“MacKay Shields” or the “Sub-Advisor”), the sub-advisor to IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF, and its management of the Fund.
The Advisor also: (i) supervises all non-advisory operations of the Funds; (ii) provides personnel to perform such executive, administrative and clerical services as are reasonably necessary to provide effective administration of the Funds and the other series of the Trust; (iii) arranges for (a) the preparation of all required tax returns, (b) the preparation and submission of reports to existing shareholders, (c) the periodic updating of prospectuses and statements of additional information and (d) the preparation of reports to be filed with the SEC and other regulatory authorities; (iv) maintains the records of the Funds and the other series of the Trust; and (v) provides office space and all necessary office equipment and services. The Funds reimburse the Advisor in an amount equal to a portion of the compensation of the Chief Compliance Officer attributable to each Fund.
The Advisory Agreement will continue in effect with respect to the Funds from year to year provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a majority of the Trustees that are not interested persons of the Trust (“Independent Trustees”).
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Funds pay the Advisor a fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, for the services performed and the facilities furnished at an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets per the table below.

The Sub-Advisor acts as portfolio manager for the Fund subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board.
Distribution (12b-1 Fees)
ALPS Distributors, Inc. serves as the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”) pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. NYLIFE Distributors LLC has entered into a Service Agreement with the Distributor to market the Funds. The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1 Plan”). In accordance with the Rule 12b-1 Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay an amount up to 0.10% of each Fund’s average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. As authorized by the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of each respective Fund’s assets. The Advisor and its affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Funds.
As described in Note 4 below, the Distributor has entered into Participant Agreements with certain broker-dealers and others that allow those parties to be Authorized Participants and to subscribe for and redeem shares of the Funds. As described in Note 4 below, such Authorized Participants may from time to time hold, of record or beneficially, a substantial percentage of the Funds’ shares outstanding, act as executing or clearing broker for investment transactions on behalf of the Funds and/or serve as counterparty to derivative transactions with each Fund.

Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent
BNY Mellon (in each capacity, the “Administrator,” “Custodian” or “Transfer Agent”) serves as the Funds’ Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent pursuant to the Fund Administration and Accounting Agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, the Advisor pays the Funds’ Administrative, Custody and Transfer Agency fees. Pursuant to these agreements, BNY Mellon provides necessary administrative, custody, transfer agency, tax, accounting services and financial reporting for the maintenance and operations of the Trust and the Funds. BNY Mellon is responsible for maintaining the books and records and calculating the daily NAV of the Funds. BNY Mellon is a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a financial holding company.
4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Shares are created and redeemed on a continuous basis at NAV only in groups of 50,000 shares called Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable. Transactions in shares of the Funds are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“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 create and redeem whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Securities received or delivered in connection with in-kind creates and redeems are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the creation or redemption.
5. FEDERAL INCOME TAX
At April 30, 2021, the cost and unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments, including applicable derivative contracts and other financial instruments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/ tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to the tax treatment of redemptions in-kind, the expiration of capital loss carryforwards, nondeductible expenses and capital share redemptions utilized as distributions for tax purposes.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Swap Transactions
A swap agreement is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates based on a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other instruments. Most swap agreements provide that when the period payment dates for both parties are the same, the payments are made on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with only the net amount paid by one party to the other). The Funds’ obligations or rights under a swap agreement entered into on a net basis will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement, based on the relative values of the positions held by each counterparty. Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and there is no central clearing or guaranty function for total return swaps. Swaps could result in losses if interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by the Funds or if the reference index, security or investments do not perform as expected.
The value of a total return swap agreement is recorded as either an asset or a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period. Segregated securities are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Daily changes in valuation of Total Return Swaps, if any, are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as a change in net unrealized appreciation depreciation on the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or payment made upon termination of a swap agreement on the Statements of Operations.
When a Fund has an unrealized loss on a swap agreement, the Fund instructs the Custodian to pledge cash or liquid securities as collateral with a value at least equal to the amount of the unrealized loss. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted with the fluctuations of the swap value.
Some of the Funds intend to use Total Return Swaps in several ways to replicate the performance of the Index. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of
196

Notes to Financial Statements  (continued)
April 30, 2021
the swap contract. Therefore, the Funds consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying instruments.
Pursuant to documentation governing the Funds’ swap transactions with MLI and Morgan Stanley, MLI and Morgan Stanley have the right to terminate the swaps early in the event that the net assets of the given Fund decline below specific levels set forth in the documentation (“net asset contingent features”). In the event of early termination, MLI and Morgan Stanley may require the Funds to pay or receive a settlement amount in connection with the terminated swap transaction. The Funds utilized swaps to affect both long and short exposure to several asset classes and market segments, including, among others, real estate, domestic equity, international equity, emerging markets equities, investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate bonds, convertible bonds, preferred securities, emerging market-debt, mortgage-backed securities, floating rate notes, developed markets currencies, broad commodity indices, precious metals, equity market volatility, and U.S. Treasury bonds. As of April 30, 2021, the Funds have not triggered the conditions under such documentation that will give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination. As of such date, the settlement values of these contracts were approximately equal to the fair value of such contracts. As of April 30, 2021, open swap transactions, if any, are listed at the end of the Funds’ respective Schedule of Investments.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency transactions to seek a closer correlation between the Funds’ overall currency exposures and the currency exposures of the Underlying Index as a part of its principal investment strategy.
The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes, to seek to protect against anticipated changes in future foreign currency exchange rates. A forward foreign currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. A non-deliverable forward currency contract does not require physical delivery of the underlying currencies and the contract is settled based on the difference between the contracted price and the prevailing spot price of the agreed upon notional amount. These contracts are traded in the interbank market between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. A forward foreign currency contract generally has no deposit requirement, and no commissions are generally charged at any stage for trades.
Upon entering into a forward foreign currency contract, a Fund is required to segregate permissible liquid assets or engage in other measures approved by the SEC to “cover” the Fund’s obligations relating to its transactions in derivatives. Fluctuations in the value of open forward foreign currency contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have matured or were sold. At April 30, 2021, open forward foreign currency contracts, if any, are listed at the end of the Funds’ respective Schedule of Investments.

The following tables show additional disclosures related to each Fund’s derivative and holding activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect in each Fund’s financial positions, performance and cash flows.

9. RISKS INVOLVED WITH INVESTING IN THE FUNDS
The Funds are subject to the principal risks described below, some or all of these risks may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. As with any investment, an investment in a Fund could result in a loss or the performance of a Fund could be inferior to that of other investments.
Call Risk1
During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by a Fund may “call” or repay the security before its stated maturity, and the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income.
Counterparty Risk
Many of the protections afforded to participants on some organized exchanges, such as the performance guarantee of an exchange clearing house, are not available in connection with OTC derivatives transactions.
In those instances, an underlying ETP utilizing such deliverables will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and that the underlying ETP will sustain losses.
Credit Risk1
Debt issuers and other counterparties may not honor their obligations or may have their debt downgraded by ratings agencies. The financial condition of an issuer of a debt security or other instrument may cause such issuer to default on its obligations or cause such issuer to be perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as being in default.
Currency Hedging Risk2
Certain Funds use various strategies to attempt to reduce the impact of changes in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar. These strategies may not be successful. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. Therefore, the value of an investment in a fund may also go up or down quickly and unpredictably and investors may lose money.
Currency Risk
Certain Funds will invest in securities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars (foreign currencies). Therefore, while much of the income received by a Fund may be denominated in foreign currency, the Underlying Index and the Fund’s NAV will be calculated in U.S. dollars. Furthermore a Fund may convert cash

April 30, 2021
in U.S. dollars to foreign currencies to purchase securities. Both a Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index, and Fund returns in general, may be adversely impacted by changes in currency exchange rates, which can occur quickly and without warning.
Debt Investments Risk
The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by, among other things, economic or political developments in a specific country, industry or region. Debt securities are also subject to the risks associated with changes in interest rates. Debt investments are subject to many risks, including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, regulatory risk, price volatility and liquidity risk. There is a risk that an issuer or guarantor of a debt investment might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce a Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due, and may reduce the value of the debt investment, sometimes dramatically. Certain debt investments may be difficult to value, purchase, or sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale.
Debt investments most frequently trade in institutional round lot size transactions. Until a Fund grows significantly in size, a fund may purchase a significant number of bonds in amounts less than the institutional round lot size, which are frequently referred to as “odd” lots. Odd lot size positions may have more price volatility than institutional round lot size positions. The Funds use a third-party pricing service to value bond holdings and the pricing service values bonds assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size.
Derivatives Risk
Derivative strategies may expose a Fund to greater risk than if it had invested directly in the underlying instrument and often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing a Fund to lose more money than it originally invested and would have lost had it invested directly in the underlying instrument. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value. Derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable to honor its contractual obligations to the Fund. Derivatives may be more volatile than direct investments in the instrument underlying the contract and may not correlate perfectly to the underlying instrument. Derivatives also may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed, which could result in losses greater than if they had not been used. Due to fluctuations in the price of the underlying asset, a Fund may not be able to profitably exercise an option and may lose its entire investment in an option. Derivatives may also increase the expenses of a Fund.
Equity Securities Risk
The prices of equity securities are responsive to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic, stock market, industry and company conditions and the risk inherent in the portfolio manager’s ability to anticipate such changes that can adversely affect the value of a Fund’s holdings. Opportunity for greater gain may come with greater risk of loss.
ESG Investing Style Risk3
The application of environmental, social and corporate governance investing criteria may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain sectors or types of investments and may impact the Fund’s relative investment performance depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market. In addition, there is no guarantee that the construction methodology of the Underlying Index will accurately provide exposure to issuers meeting environmental, social and corporate governance criteria.

Unlike an investment in a mutual fund, the value of the Funds’ investments in ETFs, ETVs and ETNs is based on stock market prices and the Funds could lose money due to stock market developments, the failure of an active trading market to develop, or exchange trading halts or de-listings. Federal law prohibits the Funds from acquiring investment company shares, including shares of ETFs, in excess of specific thresholds unless exempted by rule, regulation or exemptive order. These prohibitions may prevent the Funds from allocating their investments to ETFs in an optimal manner.
Fund of Funds Risk4
Certain Funds’ investment performance, because they are fund of funds, depend on the investment performance of the underlying ETFs in which they invest. An investment in any such Fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying ETFs that comprise its Underlying Index. Such a Fund will indirectly pay a proportional share of the asset-based fees of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.
Foreign Securities Risk
Certain Funds invest directly or indirectly (through underlying ETFs) in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, which involves risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional and custody costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability. The ability of issuers of securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by, among other things, economic or political developments in a specific country, industry or region.
High Yield Securities Risk1
High yield securities generally offer a higher current yield than the yield available from higher grade issues, but typically involve greater risk. Securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.”
Income Risk1
The income of a Fund receives from investments in debt securities may decline when interest rates fall. This decline can occur because a Fund may subsequently invest in lower-yielding bonds when bonds in its portfolio mature or the Fund needs to purchase additional bonds.
Index Risk
The Funds’ Underlying Indexes and the Funds rebalance only on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, which may cause the performance of the Underlying Indexes and the Funds to deviate from that of the market exposure that they are trying to achieve.
Industry Concentration Risk
To the extent that a Fund’s Underlying Index is concentrated in a particular industry, the Fund also will be concentrated in that industry. The risk of concentrating fund investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of industries will subject a Fund to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors.
Interest Rate Risk1
An increase in interest rates may cause the value of debt securities held by a Fund to decline. Interest rates in the United States are near historic lows, which may increase a Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising interest rates. Interest rates may rise significantly and/or rapidly. Rising interest rates or lack of market

participants may lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the bond markets, making it more difficult for a Fund to sell its bond holdings at a time when the Fund might wish to sell.
Large Transaction Risks
From time to time, a Fund may receive large purchase or redemption orders from affiliated or unaffiliated funds or other investors. Such large transactions could have adverse effects on a Fund’s performance if the Fund were required to sell securities or invest cash at times when it otherwise would not do so. This activity could also accelerate the realization of capital gains and increase a Fund’s transaction costs.
LIBOR Replacement Risk
A Fund may invest in certain debt securities, derivatives or other financial instruments that utilize LIBOR, as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for various interest rate calculations. The United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. As a result, it is anticipated that LIBOR will be discontinued or will no longer be sufficiently robust to be representative of its underlying market around that time. Although financial regulators and industry working groups have suggested alternative reference rates, such as the European Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”), Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate (“SONIA”) and Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), there are challenges to converting certain contracts and transactions to a new benchmark and neither the full effects of the transition process nor its ultimate outcome is known. The Advisor is currently working to assess exposure and will modify contracts as necessary. The elimination of LIBOR or changes to other reference rates or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of reference rates could have an adverse impact on the market for, or value of, any securities or payments linked to those reference rates, which may adversely affect a Fund's performance and/or NAV.
Uncertainty and risk also remain regarding the willingness and ability of issuers and lenders to include revised provisions in new and existing contracts or instruments. Consequently, the transition away from LIBOR to other reference rates may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that are tied to LIBOR, fluctuations in values of LIBOR-related investments or investments in issuers that utilize LIBOR, increased difficulty in borrowing or refinancing and diminished effectiveness of hedging strategies, adversely affecting the Fund's performance.
Accordingly, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or the debt securities or other instruments based on LIBOR in which a Fund invests cannot yet be determined. Furthermore, the risks associated with the expected discontinuation of LIBOR and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner.
Because the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021.
Long/Short Risk
There is no guarantee that the returns on a Fund’s long or short positions, if any, will produce positive returns, and the Fund could lose money if either or both positions produce negative returns. In addition, a Fund may gain enhanced long exposure to certain securities (i.e., obtain investment exposure that exceeds the amount directly invested in those assets, a form of leverage) and, as a result, suffer losses that exceed the amount invested in those assets.
Market Risk
The market price of investments owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Investments may decline in value due to factors affecting fixed-income securities markets generally or particular segments of the market.
An outbreak of COVID-19 has developed into a global pandemic and has resulted in travel restrictions, closure of international borders, certain businesses and securities markets, restrictions on securities trading activities, prolonged quarantines, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern

and uncertainty. The full effects, duration and costs of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, and the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to evolve and may adversely affect a Fund and its investments.
New Fund Risk5
Certain Funds are new funds. There can be no assurance that they will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case they may experience greater tracking error to their Underlying Indexes or ultimately liquidate.
Passive Management Risk
Unlike many investment companies, each Fund seeks to track its Underlying Index and is not “actively” managed. Therefore, a fund would not generally sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble unless that security is removed from (or was no longer useful in tracking a component of) its Underlying Index.
Small Capitalization Companies Risk6
Certain Funds invest primarily in the stocks of small capitalization companies, which may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Stock prices of small capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments. Additionally, the stocks of small capitalization companies may be thinly traded, making it difficult to buy and sell them.
Total Return Swap Risk7
Total return swaps give a Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. Total return swaps can also be used to replicate an exposure to a short position in an asset class where a Fund has the right to receive the depreciation in value of a specified security, index or other instrument (“inverse swaps”). If the underlying asset in a total return swap declines in value (or increases in value, if an inverse swap) over the term of the swap, a Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline (or, if an inverse swap, increase, if an inverse swap) to the counterparty. Therefore, swaps are subject to credit risk or the risk of default or non-performance by the counterparty.
Tracking Error Risk
Each Fund’s performance may not match its Underlying Index during any period of time. Although each Fund attempts to track the performance of its Underlying Index, a Fund may not be able to duplicate its exact composition or return for a number of reasons, including that the strategies used by the Advisor to match the performance of the Underlying Indexes were unsuccessful and because a Fund incurs expenses, which an Underlying Index does not incur.
Trading Price Risk
Although it is expected that generally the market price of a Fund’s Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when market price in the Secondary Market and the NAV vary significantly. During periods of market stress, shares of a Fund may also experience significantly wider “bid/ask” spreads, premiums and discounts between a Fund’s NAV and market price.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On June 11, 2021, the IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF (HYLV) experienced a redemption of approximately 63% of the Fund. The Fund continues to trade on the New York Stock Exchange Arca, there are no plans to close the Fund. Other than the Fund redemption, Advisor has determined that there were no other material events that would require disclosure in the preparation of these financial statements.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (unaudited)
April 30, 2021
In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the funds of IndexIQ ETF Trust (the “Funds”) have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), which IndexIQ Advisors LLC believes is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) designated IndexIQ Advisors LLC as administrator of the Program (the “Administrator”). The Program Administrator’s Portfolio Oversight Committee acts as the Liquidity Risk Management Committee to assist the Administrator in the implementation and day-to-day administration of the Program and to otherwise support the Administrator in fulfilling its responsibilities under the Program.
At a meeting of the Board held on March 31, 2021, the Administrator provided the Board with a written report addressing the Program’s operation, adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”), as required under the Liquidity Rule. The report noted that the Administrator concluded that: (i) the Program operated effectively to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk; (ii) the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented to monitor and, as applicable, respond to the Funds’ liquidity developments; and (iii) each Fund’s investment strategy continues to be appropriate for an open-end fund.
In accordance with the Program, each Fund’s liquidity risk is assessed no less frequently than annually taking into consideration certain factors, as applicable, such as: (i) each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (ii) each Fund’s short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (iii) each Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources; (iv) the relationship between each Fund’s portfolio liquidity and the way in which, and the prices and spreads at which, Fund shares trade, including the efficiency of the arbitrage function and the level of active participation by market participants, including authorized participants; and (v) the effect of the composition of baskets on the overall liquidity of each Fund’s portfolio.
In compliance with the Liquidity Rule and in accordance with the Program, funds able to qualify as “In-Kind ETFs” are not required to: (i) classify each portfolio investment into one of four categories or (ii) establish a highly liquid investment minimum. The Liquidity Rule defines an In-Kind ETF as an ETF that meets redemptions through in-kind transfers of securities, positions, and assets other than a de minimis amount of cash and publishes its portfolio holdings daily. Each of the Funds, with the exceptions of IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE International ETF and IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF qualify as In-Kind ETFs.
IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE International ETF and IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF both classify each Fund portfolio investment into one of four liquidity categories. The classification is based on a determination of the number of days it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment into cash, or sell or dispose of the investment, in current market conditions without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Classification determinations are made by taking into account each Fund’s reasonably anticipated trade size, various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and, in certain cases, third-party vendor data. The Administrator has delegated liquidity classification determinations for IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF to the Fund’s sub-adviser, subject to appropriate oversight by the Administrator.
The Liquidity Rule requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments and do not qualify as In-Kind ETFs to adopt a minimum amount of net assets that must be invested in highly liquid investments that are assets (“HLIM”). In addition, the Liquidity Rule limits a fund’s investments in illiquid investments. Specifically, the Liquidity Rule prohibits acquisition of illiquid investments if doing so would result in a fund holding more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments that are assets. The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to determine, periodically review and comply with the HLIM requirement, as applicable, and to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments.
There were no material changes to the Program during the Reporting Period. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)
April 30, 2021
Approval Relating to the IQ Healthy Hearts ETF (the “New Fund”)
The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) met by videoconference on December 10, 2020, pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Investment Management temporarily exempting fund boards from the in-person approval requirements of certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), in light of the impact of COVID-19. The Board met to consider the approval of an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and IndexIQ Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) to add the New Fund (the “Advisory Agreement Amendment”).
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Advisor relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Agreement Amendment, as supplemented by the information submitted in connection with the Board’s review of contractual arrangements, at the March 31, 2020 meeting, to the extent relevant. In connection with considering approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), met in executive session with counsel to the Trust and counsel to the Independent Trustees, who provided assistance and advice. The consideration of the Advisory Agreement Amendment was conducted by both the full Board and the Independent Trustees, who also voted separately.
During their review and consideration, the Board and the Independent Trustees focused on and analyzed the factors they deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality, and extent of the services that the Advisor will provide to the New Fund, and the fees that the Advisor will charge to the New Fund; (2) information concerning the business and operations, compliance program and portfolio management team of the Advisor; (3) information describing the New Fund’s anticipated operating expenses; (4) data comparing the proposed fee rate for advisory services to be charged to the New Fund and the expected expense ratio to fees paid by and expense ratios of other mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) with similar investment objectives and policies as those of the New Fund; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Fund grows; (6) any “fall-out” benefits to be derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Trust; and (7) potential conflicts of interest. The Board considered that the New Fund was a passively managed ETF designed to track an index created by an affiliate of the Advisor.
In reviewing such factors, the Board relied on certain information, including (1) copies of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Advisory Agreement Amendment; (2) information about the proposed expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement; (3) information describing the Advisor and the services to be provided thereby; (4) information regarding the compliance program and portfolio management team of the Advisor; (5) a copy of the Form ADV of the Advisor; (6) memoranda and guidance from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees on the fiduciary responsibilities of trustees, including Independent Trustees, in considering advisory and distribution agreements under the 1940 Act; (7) materials provided by the Advisor in response to 15(c) requests for information from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees for this meeting and the March 31, 2020 contract renewal meeting, to the extent relevant to the approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment; (8) a presentation, via videoconference, by personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Board was provided data comparing the advisory fees and estimated operating expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, as applicable) of the New Fund with expenses and performance of other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives and policies; and (9) information about the Advisor’s relationship with American Heart Association, Inc. (“AHA”), including the license for the New Fund to use AHA’s name and certain trademarks and the payments made by the Advisor or its affiliates to AHA . The Trustees also considered their personal experiences as Trustees and participants in the ETF and mutual fund industry, as applicable, including their experiences with the Advisor in respect of series of the Trust and IndexIQ Active ETF Trust.
In particular, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees, considered and discussed the following with respect to the New Fund:
1.
The nature, extent, and quality of the facilities and services to be provided by the Advisor. The Independent Trustees reviewed the services that the Advisor would provide to the New Fund. In
211​

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)(continued)
April 30, 2021
connection with the investment advisory services to be provided to the New Fund, the Independent Trustees noted the responsibilities that the Advisor would have as the New Fund’s investment adviser, including overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the New Fund’s securities portfolio, ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board, for daily monitoring and quarterly reporting to the Board, and the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the New Fund.
The Independent Trustees reviewed and considered the Advisor’s performance in managing the existing Funds of the Trust. The Independent Trustees reviewed the Advisor’s experience, resources, and strengths in managing other ETFs. Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Independent Trustees determined that the New Fund would likely benefit from the nature, quality, and extent of these services, as well as the Advisor’s ability to render such services based on its experience, operations, and resources.
2.
Comparison of services to be provided and fees to be charged by the Advisor and other investment advisers to similar clients, and the cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor from the relationship with the New Fund. The Independent Trustees then compared both the services to be rendered and the proposed fees to be paid pursuant to the Advisory Agreement Amendment to the Advisor and to contracts of other investment advisers with respect to similar mutual funds and ETFs, as well as the operational Funds. In particular, the Independent Trustees compared the New Fund’s proposed advisory fee and projected expense ratio for its first year of operations to other ETFs in the New Fund’s peer group.
After comparing the New Fund’s proposed fee with those of other funds in the New Fund’s peer group, and in light of the nature, quality, and extent of services proposed to be provided by the Advisor, the Independent Trustees concluded that the fee proposed to be paid to the Advisor with respect to the New Fund was fair and reasonable.
3.
The Advisor’s profitability and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Fund grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale. The Independent Trustees next considered potential economies of scale and the anticipated costs and projected profitability of the Advisor in connection with its serving as investment adviser to the New Fund, including operational costs. Due to the fact that the New Fund had no assets at the time, the Independent Trustees made no determination with respect to economies of scale or the impact of the New Fund on the Advisor’s profitability.
4.
Investment performance of the Advisor. Because the New Fund has not commenced operations, the Independent Trustees could not consider the investment performance of the New Fund, but did take into account the experience of the Advisor and the investment strategy developed for the New Fund by the Advisor.
The Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information, both at the meeting and in its ongoing oversight of the existing Funds, to make an informed business decision with respect to the Advisory Agreement Amendment for the New Fund. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, and while no single factor was determinative in the decision, the Independent Trustees concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor were reasonable and fair to the New Fund and to recommend to the Board the approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment. As a result, all of the Board members, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment was in the best interests of the New Fund and its shareholders. The Board and the Independent Trustees, voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement Amendment for a two-year period.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)(continued)
April 30, 2021
Approval Relating To Annual Continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement
The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) met by videoconference on March 31, 2021, pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Investment Management temporarily exempting fund boards from the in-person approval requirements of certain provisions of the 1940 Act, in light of the impact of COVID-19. The Board met to consider the approval of the continuation, for an additional year, of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the series of the Trust for which the agreement applies (the “Funds”). The Board noted that the Advisory Agreement was between the Trust and IndexIQ Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”). In addition, the Board considered the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and MacKay Shields LLC (“MacKay” or the “Sub-Advisor”), with respect to the IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF (“HYLV”).
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Advisor relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds, and from MacKay and the Advisor relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement as it relates to HYLV. In connection with considering approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees, met in executive session with counsel to the Trust and counsel to the Independent Trustees, who provided assistance and advice. The consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement was conducted by both the full Board and the Independent Trustees, who also voted separately.
During their review and consideration, the Board and the Independent Trustees focused on and analyzed the factors they deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds and by MacKay with respect to HYLV, and the fees charged by the Advisor and MacKay; (2) information concerning the business and operations, compliance program and portfolio management team of the Advisor and MacKay; (3) the expense levels of each Fund; (4) the investment performance of the Funds; (5) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Trust, including expense limitation agreements and fee waiver agreements between the Advisor and certain Funds; (6) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows; (7) any “fall-out” benefits derived or to be derived by the Advisor or MacKay from their relationships with the Trust; and (8) potential conflicts of interest. The Board considered that the Funds were passively managed ETFs and that several of the Funds were designed to track indexes created by an affiliate of the Advisor.
In reviewing such factors, the Board relied on certain information, including (1) a copy of the Advisory Agreement; (2) a copy of the Sub-Advisory Agreement; (3) information about applicable expense limitation and fee waiver agreements; (4) information describing the Advisor and MacKay and the services provided thereby; (5) information regarding the respective compliance program and portfolio management teams of the Advisor and MacKay; (6) copies of the Form ADV for each of the Advisor and MacKay; (7) memoranda and guidance from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees on the fiduciary responsibilities of trustees, including Independent Trustees, in considering advisory and distribution agreements under the 1940 Act; (8) materials provided by each of the Advisor and MacKay in response to a 15(c) request for information from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees; and (9) a presentation, via videoconference, by personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Board was provided data comparing the advisory fees and operating expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, as applicable) of the Funds with expenses and performance of other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives and policies. The Trustees also considered their personal experiences as Trustees and participants in the ETF and mutual fund industry, as applicable, including their experiences with the Advisor in respect of series of the Trust and IndexIQ Active ETF Trust.
In particular, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees, considered and discussed the following with respect to the Funds:
1.
The nature, extent and quality of the facilities and services provided by the Advisor and MacKay. The Board reviewed the services that the Advisor and MacKay provide to the respective Funds, noting that they had continually reviewed and overseen such services throughout the past year. The Board noted
213​

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)(continued)
April 30, 2021
the responsibilities that the Advisor and MacKay have as the investment advisor and sub-advisor to the respective Funds, including overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of each Fund’s securities portfolio, monitoring fund compliance with regulatory requirements and Fund objectives and policies, daily monitoring of the portfolio, overseeing Fund service providers, obtaining licenses for use of indexes tracked by the Funds, providing officers for the Funds, ongoing reporting to the Board, and the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Funds. For Funds that were not yet operational, the Board considered the services rendered in respect of the existing Funds in assessing services expected to be provided to the non-operational Funds.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s and MacKay’s experience, resources, and strengths in managing mutual funds and ETFs, including the Advisor’s management of the Funds and the funds of the IndexIQ Active ETF Trust. The Board also considered the experience of MacKay’s team in managing strategies and asset classes similar to HYLV, and their tenure in managing the portfolio of HYLV. The Board also noted and discussed with the Advisor the resources and additional support and personnel from its affiliate New York Life Investment Management LLC (“NYLIM”), which resources enhance and support the work of the Advisor’s officers and staff. The Board also considered the tenure and experience of the personnel at the Advisor providing management and administrative services to the Funds. The Board also considered the Advisor’s marketing and distribution strategy, including the various services engaged by the Advisor in seeking to market and grow assets in the Funds.
Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Board concluded that each Fund was likely to continue to benefit from the nature, quality, and extent of these services, as well as the Advisor’s and MacKay’s ability to render such services based on its personnel, experience, operations, and resources.
2.
Comparison of services provided and fees charged by the Advisor and MacKay and other investment advisers to similar clients, and the cost of the services provided and profits realized by the Advisor and MacKay from their relationships with the respective Funds. The Board then compared both the services rendered and the fees paid with respect to the Funds pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement to contracts of other registered investment advisers providing services to similar ETFs. The Board also considered that the Advisor is responsible for payment of the sub-advisory fee to MacKay pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and that HYLV shareholders do not directly pay the sub-advisory fee.
In particular, the Board compared each Fund’s advisory fee and expense ratio (including acquired fund fees and expenses, as applicable) to other investment companies considered to be in each such Fund’s peer group. The Advisor presented information on how peer groups were selected for the Funds, which generally are differentiated from broad Morningstar categorization based on distinguishing characteristics of many Funds’ core strategies, several of which are unique indexes designed by an affiliate of the Advisor. The Advisor explained that peer groups were selected using an objective methodology by a NYLIM team.
The Board noted that certain Funds had peer groups of limited size and, in certain cases, with substantial differences in portfolio management and operational costs. The Board was presented with information describing the Funds’ performance and fees, with information relative to peer groups. The Board considered unique characteristics of certain Funds relative to peer groups, particularly where such Funds had fee or total expense ratios that diverged from the median levels of the applicable peer group. The Board also discussed price pressure in the general ETF marketplace and the impact of market pressures on the price levels for relatively unique investment strategies such as those implemented by several of the Funds.
Additionally, the Trustees considered that the Advisor had put in place expense limitation or fee waiver agreements whereby the Advisor reimburses expenses and/or waives fees to limit the impact above set thresholds of certain expenses on shareholders of certain Funds. The Board noted that such expense
214

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)(continued)
April 30, 2021
limitation and fee waiver agreements were reflected, where applicable, in the peer group analysis provided by the Advisor.
The Board also considered that certain Funds invest in the IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF and other third-party funds and based on information provided by the Advisor, determined that fees that would be paid to the Advisor that are attributable to the investments made by such Funds would not be duplicative.
After comparing each Fund’s fees with those of other investment companies in the Fund’s peer group, and in light of the nature, quality, and extent of services provided by the Advisor and MacKay and the costs incurred by the Advisor and MacKay in rendering those services, the Board concluded that the level of fees paid (or proposed to be paid) to the Advisor with respect to each Fund and MacKay with respect to HYLV is fair and reasonable.
3.
The Advisor’s and MacKay’s profitability and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale. The Board discussed with the Advisor the costs and profitability of the Advisor in connection with its serving as investment advisor to each Fund, including operational costs. The Board also discussed additional resources available to the Advisor as part of a larger organization, including the investment of financial and human resources into the Advisor and additional support to market and distribute the Funds.
The Board considered information regarding the strategy of the Advisor to grow assets in the Funds during the calendar year, including the marketing and distribution details that were provided in the Board materials. The Board reviewed the net asset levels of the Funds and the impact of both high and low asset levels on such Funds. The Advisor presented to the Board information on the operating profits on a year over year basis.
The Board also considered the impact of future asset growth on the services required and fees paid to MacKay, noting again that such fees were paid by the Advisor out of its management fees. The Board considered whether the continued operation of certain Funds that had not attracted significant assets under management would be profitable to the Advisor under the unitary fee arrangement of the Advisory Agreement and determined to continue to review the asset levels of the Funds in relation to the Advisor’s profitability. The Board also noted the existence of Expense Limitation Agreements and Fee Waiver Agreements applicable to certain of the Funds, and their respective impacts on costs to shareholders and profitability of the Advisor.
The Board noted that certain Funds had not yet commenced operations, and therefore no direct historical profitability data was available for consideration for such Funds.
The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Advisor and MacKay, respectively, were reasonable when considering the relative asset levels and profitability of the Funds to the Advisor.
4.
Investment performance of the Funds. The Board considered the investment performance of the existing Funds, including tracking error. In particular, the Board considered the investment performance of the Funds relative to their stated objectives and the success of the Advisor and MacKay in reaching such objectives. The Board considered each Fund’s investment performance compared to the underlying index that each Fund seeks to track and includes in its prospectus and shareholder reports. The Board also considered each Fund’s investment performance compared to the respective Fund’s peer group. The Board considered that certain Funds had not yet commenced operations, and therefore had no performance or operational history to consider.
The Board concluded that the investment performance of the Funds, particularly in the context of tracking error as against each Fund’s underlying index and in succeeding in satisfying their stated investment objective, supported the approval of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement.
215​

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)(continued)
April 30, 2021
The Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information, both at the meeting and in its ongoing oversight of the Funds, to make an informed business decision with respect to the Advisory Agreement for the Funds and, with respect to HYLV, the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, and while no single factor was determinative in the decision, the Independent Trustees concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and MacKay were reasonable and fair to the Funds and to recommend to the Board the approval of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. As a result, all of the Board members, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with MacKay was in the best interests of each applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Board and the Independent Trustees, voting separately, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has two audit committee financial experts serving on its Audit Committee, each an “independent” Trustee, Reena Aggarwal and Michael Pignataro. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

 

 

 

 

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

Audit Fees

 

(a) The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years are $358,700 for 2021 and $451,373 for 2020.

 

Audit-Related Fees

 

(b) The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant's financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item are $0 for 2021 and $0 for 2020.

 

Tax Fees

 

(c) The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning are $0 for 2021 and $0 for 2020.

 

All Other Fees

 

(d) The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item are $0 for 2021 and $0 for 2020.

 

(e)(1) Per Rule 2-01(c)(7)(A), the Audit Committee pre-approves all of the Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Fees of the Registrant.

 

(e)(2) With respect to the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d), no amount was approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(A) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 

(f) The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees was less than fifty percent.

 

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the principal accountant for services rendered to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any subadvisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were (i) approximately $10,306,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, and (ii) $10,322,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020.

 

(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee has determined that the non-audit services rendered by the principal accountant for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021 to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the registrant’s investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee because they did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant were compatible with maintaining the respective independence of the principal accountant during the relevant time period.

 

 

 

 

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

 

(a) The Fund has a designated Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the members of such committee are Reena Aggarwal, Michael Pignataro, and Paul Schaeffer.

EX-99.CODE ETH

 

 

CODE OF ETHICS FOR SENIOR OFFICERS

 

Preamble

 

Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 directs that rules be adopted disclosing whether a company has a code of ethics for senior financial officers. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rules requiring annual disclosure of an investment company’s code of ethics applicable to the company’s principal executive as well as principal financial officers, if such a code has been adopted. In response, IndexIQ ETF Trust & the IndexIQ Active ETF Trust (the “Trusts”) has adopted this Code of Ethics (the “Code”).

 

Statement of Policy

 

It is the obligation of the senior officers of the Trusts to provide full, fair, timely and comprehensible disclosure--financial and otherwise--to Trust shareholders, regulatory authorities and the general public. In fulfilling that obligation, senior officers must act ethically, honestly and diligently. This Code is intended to enunciate guidelines to be followed by persons who serve the Trusts in senior officer positions. No Code of Ethics can address every situation that a senior officer might face; however, as a guiding principle, senior officers should strive to implement the spirit as well as the letter of applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to provide the type of clear and complete disclosure and information Trusts shareholders have a right to expect.

 

The purpose of this Code of Ethics is to promote high standards of ethical conduct by Covered Persons (as defined below) in their capacities as officers of the Trusts, to instruct them as to what is considered to be inappropriate and unacceptable conduct or activities for officers and to prohibit such conduct or activities. This Code supplements other policies that the Trusts and the Advisor has adopted or may adopt in the future with which Trust officers are also required to comply (e.g., code of ethics relating to personal trading and conduct).

 

Covered Persons

 

This Code of Ethics applies to those persons appointed by the Trust’s Board of Trustees as Chief Executive Officer, President, Principal Financial Officer and Treasurer, or persons performing similar functions.

 

Promotion of Honest and Ethical Conduct

 

In serving as an officer of the Trusts, each Covered Person must maintain high standards of honesty and ethical conduct and must encourage his colleagues who provide services to the Trusts, whether directly or indirectly, to do the same.

 

Each Covered Person understands that as an officer of the Trusts, he has a duty to act in the best interests of the Trusts and their shareholders. The interests of the Covered Person’s personal interests should not be allowed to compromise the Covered Person from fulfilling his duties as an officer of the Trusts.

 

 

 

 

If a Covered Person believes that his personal interests are likely to materially compromise his objectivity or his ability to perform the duties of his role as an officer of the Trusts, he should consult with the Trust’s chief legal officer or outside counsel. Under appropriate circumstances, a Covered Person should also consider whether to present the matter to the Trustees of the Trust or a committee thereof.

 

No Covered Person shall suggest that any person providing, or soliciting to be retained to provide, services to a Trust give a gift or an economic benefit of any kind to him in connection with the person’s retention or the provision of services.

 

Promotion of Full, Fair, Accurate, Timely and Understandable Disclosure

 

No Covered Person shall create or further the creation of false or misleading information in any SEC filing or report to Trust’s shareholders. No Covered Person shall conceal or fail to disclose information within the Covered Person’s possession legally required to be disclosed or necessary to make the disclosure made not misleading. If a Covered Person shall become aware that information filed with the SEC or made available to the public contains any false or misleading information or omits to disclose necessary information, he shall promptly report it to Trust’s counsel, who shall advise such Covered Person whether corrective action is necessary or appropriate.

 

Each Covered Person, consistent with his responsibilities, shall exercise appropriate supervision over, and shall assist, Trusts service providers in developing financial information and other disclosure that complies with relevant law and presents information in a clear, comprehensible and complete manner. Each Covered Person shall use his best efforts within his area of expertise to assure that Trusts reports reveal, rather than conceal, the Trust’s financial condition.

 

Each Covered Person shall seek to obtain additional resources if he believes that available resources are inadequate to enable the Trusts to provide full, fair and accurate financial information and other disclosure to regulators and Trusts shareholders.

 

Each Covered Person shall inquire of other Trusts officers and service providers, as appropriate, to assure that information provided is accurate and complete and presented in an understandable format using comprehensible language.

 

Each Covered Person shall diligently perform his services to the Trusts, so that information can be gathered and assessed early enough to facilitate timely filings and issuance of reports and required certifications.

 

 

 

 

Promotion of Compliance with Applicable Government Laws, Rules and Regulations

 

Each Covered Person shall become and remain knowledgeable concerning the laws and regulations relating to the Trust and its operations and shall act with competence and due care in serving as an officer of the Trusts. Each Covered Person with specific responsibility for financial statement disclosure will become and remain knowledgeable concerning relevant auditing standards, generally accepted accounting principles, FASB pronouncements and other accounting and tax literature and developments.

 

Each Covered Person shall devote sufficient time to fulfilling his responsibilities to the Trusts.

 

Each Covered Person shall cooperate with the Trust’s independent auditors, regulatory agencies and internal auditors in their review or inspection of the Trusts and their operations.

 

No Covered Person shall knowingly violate any law or regulation relating to the Trusts or their operations or seek to illegally circumvent any such law or regulation.

 

No Covered Person shall engage in any conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation involving the Trusts or their operations.

 

Promoting Prompt Internal Reporting of Violations

 

Each Covered Person shall promptly report his own violations of this Code and violations by other Covered Persons of which he is aware to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

 

Any requests for a waiver from or an amendment to this Code shall be made to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. All waivers and amendments shall be disclosed as required by law.

 

Sanctions

 

Failure to comply with this Code will subject the violator to appropriate sanctions, which will vary based on the nature and severity of the violation. Such sanctions may include censure, suspension or termination of position as an officer of the Trust. Sanctions shall be imposed by the Audit Committee, subject to review by the entire Board of Trustees.

 

Each Covered Person shall be required to certify annually whether he has complied with this Code.

 

No Rights Created

 

This Code of Ethics is a statement of certain fundamental principles, policies and procedures that govern the Trust’s senior officers in the conduct of the Trust’s business. It is not intended to and does not create any rights in any employee, investor, supplier, competitor, shareholder or any other person or entity.

 

 

 

 

Recordkeeping

 

The Trusts will maintain and preserve for a period of not less than six (6) years from the date such action is taken, the first two (2) years in an easily accessible place, a copy of the information or materials supplied to the Board (1) that provided the basis for any amendment or waiver to this Code and (2) relating to any violation of the Code and sanctions imposed for such violation, together with a written record of the approval or action taken by the Board.

 

Amendments

 

The Trustees will make and approve such changes to this Code of Ethics as they deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Code.
