A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholders:

Thank you for investing in Hartford Multifactor Exchange-Traded Funds. The following is the Funds’ Semi-Annual Report that covers the period from October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.

Market Review

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 lost 12.31%. The results for the period clearly reflect the impact of the

 

coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on world economic growth and the virtual shutdown of economic activity stemming from the need for social distancing.

Prior to the initial COVID-19 outbreak in China in early 2020, “normal” macro events dominated the headlines. The new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement signed in early 2020 was seen as a potential positive for North American trade. Tensions around the U.S.-China trade dispute receded with the signing in January of a Phase One agreement on tariffs and trade reforms. In the U.S., investors appeared to take the impeachment trial of President Trump in stride.

But the rapid global spread of the novel coronavirus changed everything, resulting in extreme market volatility, widespread expectations of a global recession, and the official end of the longest bull market in U.S. economic history. Central banks around the world, including the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), moved quickly to ratchet down key interest rates in an effort to inject liquidity into the markets. On March 3, 2020, the Fed reduced its key interest rate by a full half-percent. A follow-up reduction has left rates near zero. The Fed also embarked on $700 billion in new debt purchases.

As worldwide COVID-19 infection rates and deaths mounted, Western governments, including the U.S., unveiled broad and extensive fiscal policy initiatives designed to encourage workers to stay home, help businesses avoid layoffs, and subsidize the struggling healthcare system’s efforts to combat the virus.

On March 6, 2020, a bipartisan bill creating a $7 billion disaster-assistance loan package for small businesses impacted by COVID-19 was passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law. Then, on March 27, 2020, a massive $2 trillion economic stimulus package – the largest fiscal rescue package in U.S. history – was enacted. The package provided, among other things, up to $400 billion in small business loans designed primarily to cover employee salaries, rent, paid leave, and other necessities. The law also provided direct cash assistance of up to $1,200 for the majority of individuals.

Needless to say, it’s impossible to know the full economic and social impact social distancing will have through a global pandemic of unknown duration. In this uncertain time, it’s more important than ever to maintain a strong relationship with your financial advisor.

Thank you again for investing in Hartford Exchange-Traded Funds. For the most up-to-date information on our complete selection of exchange-traded funds, please take advantage of all the resources available at hartfordfunds.com.

Information regarding how often shares of the Fund traded on NYSE Arca at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV of the Fund can be found at hartfordfunds.com.

PERFORMANCE DATA QUOTED REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. The investment return and principal value of the investment will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The table does not reflect the deductions of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund shares. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website hartfordfunds.com.

Total returns are calculated using the daily 4:00 pm net asset value (NAV). Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

The Fund’s Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Owners of the Shares may acquire those Shares from the Fund and tender those shares for redemption to the Fund in Creation Unit aggregations only, typically consisting of 50,000 Shares.

The index is unmanaged, and its results include reinvested dividends and/or distributions, but do not reflect the effect of sales charges, commissions, expenses or taxes.

You cannot invest directly in an index.

See “Benchmark Glossary” for a detailed list of benchmarks and descriptions used in this report.

The total annual fund operating expense ratio as shown in the Fund’s most recent prospectus was 0.29%. Actual expenses may be higher or lower. Please see the accompanying Financial Highlights for expense ratios for the period ended March 31, 2020.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political and economic developments. These risks may be greater in particular geographic regions or countries. Investments focused in a sector, industry or group of industries may increase volatility and risk. The Fund is not actively managed but rather attempts to track the performance of an index. The Fund’s returns may diverge from that of the index.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. A concentration in real estate securities, such as REITs, may subject a fund to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate as well as the risks related to the way real estate companies are organized and operated. Real estate is sensitive to changes in interest rates and general and local economic conditions and developments. The Fund may invest in a smaller number of issuers, so it may be more exposed to risks and volatility than a more broadly diversified fund. The Fund is not actively managed but rather attempts to track the performance of an index. The Fund’s returns may diverge from that of the index.

Expense Examples (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including investment management fees and certain 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 exchange-traded funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period of October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020. To the extent a Fund was subject to acquired fund fees and expenses during the period, acquired fund fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio below.

Actual Expenses

The first set of columns of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second set of columns of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in 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 the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of shares of the Funds. Therefore, the second set of columns of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different exchange-traded funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. Expense ratios may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the management fee (including extraordinary expenses and interest expense). Expenses are equal to a Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Organization:

Lattice Strategies Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end registered management investment company comprised of seven series as of March 31, 2020. Financial statements for the series of the Trust listed below (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report.

Lattice Strategies Trust:

Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF (the “Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF”)

Hartford Multifactor Diversified International ETF (the “Multifactor Diversified International ETF”) (formerly, Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility International Equity ETF)

Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF (the “Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF”)

Hartford Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF (the “Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF”)

Hartford Multifactor REIT ETF (the “Multifactor REIT ETF”)

Hartford Multifactor Small Cap ETF (the “Multifactor Small Cap ETF”) (formerly, Hartford Multifactor Global Small Cap ETF)

Hartford Multifactor US Equity ETF (the “Multifactor US Equity ETF”)

Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (‘‘ETF’’). ETFs are funds that trade on an exchange like other publicly traded securities. Each Fund is designed to track an index. Shares of Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Multifactor REIT ETF, Multifactor Small Cap ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Shares of Multifactor Diversified International ETF and Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF are listed and traded on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX”). Each share of a Fund represents a partial ownership in the Fund’s assets and liabilities, including securities held by the Fund. Shares of a Fund may be purchased or redeemed directly from the Fund only in Creation Units at net asset value (“NAV”) by certain large institutional investors (‘‘Authorized Participants’’) who have entered into agreements with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (‘‘ALPS’’ or the ‘‘Distributor’’), the Funds’ Distributor.

The assets of each Fund are separate, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 15, 2014 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The shares of the Funds are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘‘Securities Act’’). Each Fund, except Multifactor REIT ETF, is a diversified open-end management investment company. Multifactor REIT ETF is a non-diversified open-end management investment company. Each Fund applies specialized accounting and reporting standards under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

Multifactor Diversified International ETF and Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF commenced operations on May 10, 2017. Multifactor REIT ETF commenced operations on October 3, 2016. Multifactor Small Cap ETF commenced operations on March 23, 2015. Each of the other Funds commenced operations on February 25, 2015.

Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of each Fund used in the preparation of its financial statements, which are in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  a)

Determination of Net Asset Value – The NAV is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the “NYSE Close”) on each day that the Exchange is open (“Valuation Date”). If the Exchange is closed due to weather or other extraordinary circumstances on a day it would typically be open for business, each Fund may treat such day as a typical business day and accept creation and redemption orders and calculate each Fund’s NAV in accordance with applicable law. The net asset value for the shares is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to the shares by the number of shares outstanding. Information that becomes known to a Fund after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the NAV determined earlier that day.

 

  b)

Investment Valuation and Fair Value MeasurementsFor purposes of calculating the NAV, portfolio securities and other assets held in a Fund’s portfolio for which market prices are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official close price or last reported trade price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers (including evaluated prices), or independent pricing services. Pricing vendors may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, general market conditions, news, and other factors and assumptions.

If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, a Fund will use the fair value of the security or other instrument as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (“Valuation Procedures”). Market prices are considered not readily available where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based

data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s portfolio holdings or assets. In addition, market prices are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities or other instruments trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. Fair value pricing is subjective in nature and the use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the NAV of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would have been calculated using market prices at the close of the exchange on which a portfolio holding is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that a Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if the Fund were to sell the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV.

Securities and other instruments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the foreign securities or other instruments in which a Fund invests may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.

Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations) held by a Fund are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term exceeded 60 days.

Exchange-traded derivatives, such as options, futures and options on futures, are valued at the last sale price determined by the exchange where such instruments principally trade as of the close of such exchange (“Exchange Close”). If a last sale price is not available, the value will be the mean of the most recently quoted bid and ask prices as of the Exchange Close. If a mean of the bid and ask prices cannot be calculated for the day, the value will be the most recently quoted bid price as of the Exchange Close. Over-the-counter derivatives are normally valued based on prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using the prevailing spot currency exchange rates obtained from independent pricing services for calculation of the NAV. As a result, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities or other instruments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the Exchange is closed and the market value may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or sell shares of a Fund.

Foreign currency contracts represent agreements to exchange currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. Foreign currency contracts are valued using foreign currency exchange rates and forward rates as provided by an independent pricing service on the Valuation Date.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, if any, are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the Valuation Date. Shares of investment companies listed and traded on an exchange are valued in the same manner as any exchange-listed equity security. Such open-end mutual funds and listed investment companies may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses.

Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service may be valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the respective financial instrument in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The U.S. GAAP fair value measurement standards require disclosure of a fair value hierarchy for each major category of assets and liabilities. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. Level 1 may include exchange-traded instruments, such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, rights and warrants.

   

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar investments; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 may include debt investments that are traded less frequently than exchange traded instruments and which are valued using independent pricing services; senior floating rate interests, which are valued using an aggregate of dealer bids; short-term investments, which are valued at amortized cost; and swaps, which are valued based upon the terms of each swap contract.

   

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by limited or no market activity. Level 3 may include financial instruments whose values are determined using indicative market quotes or require significant management judgment or estimation. These unobservable valuation inputs may include estimates for current yields, maturity/duration, prepayment speed, and indicative market quotes for comparable investments along with other assumptions relating to credit quality, collateral value, complexity of the investment structure, general market conditions and liquidity. This category may include investments where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these investments are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these investments reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a reasonable representation of exit price.

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures to the Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee will consider all relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value, and may seek the advice of such Fund’s sub-adviser, as applicable, knowledgeable brokers, and legal counsel in making such determination. The Valuation Committee reports to the Audit Committee of the Board.

Valuation levels are not necessarily indicative of the risk associated with investing in such investments. Individual investments within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than those presented above, as individual circumstances dictate.

For additional information, refer to the Fair Valuation Summary and the Level 3 roll-forward reconciliation, if applicable, which follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

  c)

Investment Transactions and Investment Income – Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Investments purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Dividend income from domestic securities is accrued on the ex-dividend date. The Multifactor REIT ETF dividend income and capital gain loss amounts include estimates based on prior year REIT allocations. In general, dividend income from foreign securities is recorded on the ex-date; however, dividend notifications in certain foreign jurisdictions may not be available in a timely manner and as a result, a Fund will record the dividend as soon as the relevant details (i.e., rate per share, payment date, shareholders of record, etc.) are publicly available. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock are recorded as dividend income at market value. Interest income, including amortization of premium, accretion of discounts, inflation adjustments and additional principal received in-kind in lieu of cash, is accrued on a daily basis.

Please refer to Note 8 for Securities Lending Information.

 

  d)

Taxes – A Fund may be subject to taxes imposed on realized gains on securities of certain foreign countries in which such Fund invests. A Fund may also be subject to taxes withheld on foreign dividends from securities in which the Fund invests. The amount of any foreign taxes withheld and foreign tax expense is included on the accompanying Statements of Operations as a reduction to net investment income or net realized gain on investments in these securities, if applicable.

 

  e)

Foreign Currency Transactions – Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the Valuation Date. Purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions.

A Fund does not isolate that portion of portfolio investment valuation resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of investments held. Exchange rate fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying financial statements.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

 

  f)

Dividend Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board. Dividends and/or distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. The policy of Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Diversified International ETF and Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. The policy of Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF, Multifactor REIT ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly. During the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, the policy of the Multifactor Small Cap ETF was to pay dividends semi-annually. Effective June 1, 2020, the policy of the Multifactor Small Cap ETF will be to pay dividends quarterly. Amounts may vary significantly from period to period and realized gains, if any, are paid at least once a year. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing.

 

3.

Securities and Other Investments:

Restricted Securities – Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if applicable, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Financial Derivative Instruments:

The following disclosures contain information on how and why a Fund may use derivative instruments, the credit-risk-related contingent features in certain derivative instruments, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s financial position and results of operations. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statements of Operations, each categorized by type of derivative contract, are included in the following Additional Derivative Instrument Information footnote. The derivative instruments outstanding as of period-end are disclosed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments, if applicable. The amounts of realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

 

  a)

Foreign Currency Contracts – A Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts that obligate the Fund to purchase or sell currencies at specified future dates. Foreign currency contracts may be used in connection with settling purchases or sales of securities to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of a Fund’s investments and/or as part of an investment strategy. Foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. A Fund will record a realized gain or loss when the foreign currency contract is settled.

Foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Upon entering into a foreign currency contract, a Fund may be required to post margin equal to its outstanding exposure thereunder.

During the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Funds had not used Foreign Currency Contracts. There were no open contracts at March 31, 2020.

 

  b)

Futures Contracts – A Fund may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a set price on a future date. A Fund may use futures contracts to manage risk or obtain exposure to the investment markets, commodities, or movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the investments held by a Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) an amount of cash or U.S. Government or Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate amount equal to the change in value (“variation margin”) is paid or received by a Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

During the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Diversified International ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Multifactor Small Cap ETF, Multifactor REIT ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF had used Futures Contracts.

Balance Sheet Offsetting Information – Set forth below are tables which disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and instruments and transactions that are subject to a master netting arrangement, as well as amounts related to margin, reflected as financial collateral (including cash collateral), held at clearing brokers, counterparties and a Fund’s custodian. The master netting arrangements allow the clearing brokers to net any collateral held in or on behalf of a Fund, or liabilities or payment obligations of the clearing brokers to a Fund, against any liabilities or payment obligations of a Fund to the clearing brokers. A Fund is required to deposit financial collateral (including cash collateral) at the Fund’s custodian on behalf of clearing brokers and counterparties to continually meet the original and maintenance requirements established by the clearing brokers and counterparties. Such requirements are specific to the respective clearing broker or counterparty. Certain master netting arrangements may not be enforceable in a bankruptcy.

The following tables present a Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities, presented on a gross basis as no amounts are netted within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement or similar agreement (“MNA”) and net of the related collateral received/pledged by a Fund as of March 31, 2020:

Principal Risks:

A Fund’s investments expose it to various types of risks associated with financial instruments and the markets. A Fund may be exposed to the risks described below. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of its principal risks.

The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related derivative investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of equity securities may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, whether directly or indirectly, involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other protectionist measures; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; and greater social, economic and political uncertainties. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.

Securities lending involves the risk that a Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. A Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for the loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for a Fund that lends its holdings.

 

6.

Federal Income Taxes:

 

  a)

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) by distributing substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders each year. Each Fund has distributed substantially all of its income and capital gains in prior years, if applicable, and intends to distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains during the calendar year ending December 31, 2020. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes.

 

  b)

Capital Loss Carryforward – Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period.

At September 30, 2019 (tax year end), each Fund’s capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Expenses:

 

  a)

Investment Advisory Agreement – Lattice Strategies LLC (the “Adviser” or “Lattice”) serves as each Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust. Lattice is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”), which is an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”). Lattice has overall investment supervisory responsibility for each Fund. In addition, Lattice provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of each Fund. Lattice has contracted with Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”) under a sub-advisory agreement pursuant to which Mellon performs the daily investment of the assets of each Fund in accordance with each Fund’s investment objective and policies. Each Fund pays a fee to Lattice, a portion of which may be used to compensate Mellon.

The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to Lattice for investment advisory services rendered as of March 31, 2020; the rates are accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, at the following annual rates:

 

Fund

  

Management Fee Rates

 

Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF

     0.29

Multifactor Diversified International ETF

     0.29

Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF

     0.19

Multifactor REIT ETF

     0.45

Multifactor Small Cap ETF

     0.34

Multifactor US Equity ETF

     0.19

Prior to November 6, 2019, Multifactor Small Cap ETF paid the rate of 0.39% to Lattice for investment advisory services rendered. The rate was accrued daily and paid monthly based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser agrees to pay all expenses of the Trust, except (i) brokerage expenses and other expenses (such as stamp taxes) connected with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions; (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) extraordinary expenses; (iv) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and (v) the advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Adviser also does not pay any acquired fund fees and expenses. The payment or assumption by the Adviser of any expense of the Trust that the Adviser is not required by the Investment Advisory Agreement to pay or assume shall not obligate the Adviser to pay or assume the same or any similar expense of the Trust on any subsequent occasion.

 

  b)

Distribution Plans – Each Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act pursuant to which payments of up to 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets may be made for the sale and distribution of its Shares. The Board has determined that the Funds may not make payments under the Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan until authorized to do so by affirmative action of 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 the respective Fund’s assets.

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Funds did not pay any Rule 12b-1 fees.

 

  c)

Other Related Party Transactions – Certain officers of the Trust are trustees and/or officers of HFMC and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer’s (“CCO”) compensation was paid by HFMC. As part of the Trust’s Chief Compliance Services Agreement, HFMC pays any CCO compensation on behalf of the Funds.

 

8.

Securities Lending:

The Trust has entered into a securities lending agency agreement (“lending agreement”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”). A Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain borrowers in U.S. and non-U.S. markets in an amount not to exceed one-third (33 1/3%) of the value of its total assets. If a Fund security is on loan, under the lending agreement, the borrower is required to deposit cash or liquid securities as collateral at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities; cash collateral is invested for the benefit of the Fund by the Fund’s lending agent pursuant to collateral investment guidelines. The collateral is marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned.

A Fund is subject to certain risks while its securities are on loan, including the following: (i) the risk that the borrower defaults on the loan and the collateral is inadequate to cover the Fund’s loss; (ii) the risk that the earnings on the collateral invested are not sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan; (iii) the risk that the principal value of the collateral invested may decline; (iv) the risk that the borrower may use the loaned securities to cover a short sale, which may in turn place downward pressure on the market prices of the loaned securities; (v) the risk that return of loaned securities could be delayed and interfere with portfolio management decisions; and (vi) the risk that any efforts to restrict or recall the securities for purposes of voting may not be effective. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.

The Funds retain loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers.

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Investment Income from securities lending. The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Investment Income from dividends or interest, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

It is each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from, or return excess collateral to, the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract.

Share Transactions:

Each Fund will issue and redeem shares at NAV only with certain Authorized Participants in large increments known as ‘‘Creation Units.” Purchases of Creation Units are made by tendering a basket of designated securities to a Fund and redemption proceeds are paid with a basket of securities from the Fund with a balancing cash component to equate the market value of the basket securities delivered or redeemed to the NAV per Creation Unit on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery. Each Fund’s shares are available in smaller increments to individual investors in the secondary market at market prices and may be subject to commissions. Authorized Participants may be required to pay a transaction fee when

purchasing and redeeming Creation Units of the Fund. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units

Purchase or redemption of Creation Units is only available to an Authorized Participant. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a ‘‘Participating Party,’’ (i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process of the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC) (‘‘Clearing Process’’), or (2) a participant of DTC (‘‘DTC Participant’’), and, in each case, must have executed an agreement (‘‘Participation Agreement’’) with the Distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units.

If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash or outside of the Clearing Process, a higher transaction fee may be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown for each Fund:

Shares of Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Multifactor REIT ETF, Multifactor Small Cap ETF and Multifactor US Equity ETF are listed on the NYSE Arca and shares of Multifactor Diversified International ETF and Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF are listed on the Cboe BZX. Shares of each Fund are publicly traded. Retail investors may purchase or sell shares in the secondary market (not from the Fund) through a broker or dealer. Investors purchasing or selling shares in the secondary market may pay a commission, market premium or discount or other transaction charge, to a broker or dealer, as well as some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered price for each purchase or sale transaction. Unless imposed by a broker or dealer, there is no minimum dollar amount upon purchase and no minimum number of shares that must be purchased in the secondary market. Because transactions in the secondary market occur at market prices, an investor may pay more than NAV upon purchase of shares and may receive less than a Fund’s NAV upon sale of shares.

Because each Fund is structured as an ETF, individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a listing exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). Multifactor US Equity ETF will only issue or redeem Creation Units of 25,000 shares to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Distributor. Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF, Multifactor Low Volatility US Equity ETF, Multifactor REIT ETF and Multifactor Small Cap will only issue or redeem Creation Units of 50,000 shares to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Distributor. Multifactor Diversified International ETF and Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF will only issue or redeem Creation Units of 100,000 shares to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Distributor. The Funds generally will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a designated basket of securities (and an amount of cash) that the Fund specifies each day. The Funds do not impose any restrictions on the frequency of purchases and redemptions; however, the Funds reserve the right to reject or limit purchases at any time.

Indemnifications:

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust shall indemnify its officers and trustees to the full extent required or permitted under the applicable laws of the State of Delaware and federal securities laws. In addition, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, as of the date of these financial statements, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

15.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

The FASB issued ASU 2017-08 (the “ASU”) to amend the amortization period to the earliest call date for purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and will become effective for private entities one year later. Management has evaluated the implication of additional disclosure and determined there is no impact to the Funds’ financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The update introduces new fair value disclosure requirements, eliminates some prior fair value disclosure requirements, and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements.

ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, however, an entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. Management has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2018-13 that eliminate disclosure requirements effective with the current reporting period. The impact of each Fund’s early adoption of these provisions was limited to changes in the Fund’s financial statement disclosures regarding fair value, primarily those

 

 

  66  

 


Hartford Multifactor ETFs

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

disclosures related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting the additional provisions of ASU 2018-13.

 

15.

Subsequent Events:

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, events and transactions subsequent to March 31, 2020, through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure.

During the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Trust’s registered independent public accounting firm changed from Ernst & Young LLP to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC (“PwC”). PwC will serve as the Trust’s registered independent public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.

The affects to public health, business and market conditions resulting from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that escalated during the first quarter of 2020 and has extended into the second quarter of 2020 may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Funds’ investments. The extent and duration of this impact is currently unclear.
