TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shareholder Letter

Dear Fellow Investor,

We are pleased to provide you with the latest Annual Report, which contains information relevant to your investment in Hartford Multifactor exchange-traded funds (ETFs)(1). The Report covers the period from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.

These last 12 months were productive for many equity investors, as most major indexes delivered positive returns during the period. Those returns, however, did not come easily. Investors grappled with an array of concerns, including a contentious US election, a vote in favor of Brexit (the UK’s decision to leave the European Union), and constant attention on the Fed’s next move, among many other issues.

US equities delivered a 9.46% return (as measured by the Hartford Multifactor US Equity Index), emerging markets returned 13.19% (as measured by the Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets Index), developed market equities (ex-US) delivered a 11.07% return (as measured by the Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) Index) and global small caps, which includes smaller companies from the US, developed, and emerging markets, returned 16.00% (as measured by Hartford Multifactor Global Small Cap Index) during the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2016.

Hartford Multifactor ETFs performed as designed by demonstrating low tracking error versus the indexes to which they are managed and delivering the expected exposures to the risks and opportunities sought by the underlying investment strategies. Additionally, each ETF delivered tax-efficient exposure to these strategies by avoiding long- and short-term capital gains during the full-year period.

In August, Hartford Funds completed the merger of Lattice Strategies, the adviser to the ETFs. The merger brings many potential benefits to shareholders, and we are excited to be part of a strong organization with a trusted brand and long track record of serving investors. In October, we re-named each ETF to reflect this proud relationship.

As we enter 2017, we encourage you to meet with your advisor who can help guide you through shifting markets with confidence. As we have continually witnessed, markets are unpredictable and it’s important to proactively build a portfolio that takes into account your unique investment goals and risk tolerances. Your financial advisor can find you a fit within our family of ETFs and mutual funds as you work toward your goals.

Thank you for investing with Hartford Funds.
 
Sincerely,
 
Darek Wojnar
President, Lattice Strategies Trust

(1) Please note that Hartford Multifactor ETFs and the Indexes to which they are managed were re-named on October 24, 2016 while this report was being compiled and produced. Though the Report covers the fiscal one-year period through September 30, 2016, new fund and index names are reflected in the performance summaries of each fund and its respective index.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF (RODM) (Unaudited)
(formerly known as Lattice Developed Markets (ex-US) Strategy ETF)

Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF (the “Fund”) offers to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return performance of Hartford Risk-Optimized Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) Index (LRODMX) (the “Index”), (formerly known as Lattice Risk-Optimized Developed Markets (ex-US) Strategy Index), which tracks the performance of companies located in major developed markets of Europe, Canada and the Pacific Region.

By investing in the index constituents, the Fund seeks to generate returns and reduce volatility through the systematic re-allocation of risks in developed international equities by:

1. Deliberate Risk Allocation:  Provides exposure to the growth potential of international companies while explicitly seeking to reduce volatility and drawdown risk.
2. Improved Diversification:  Provides deep and diversified exposure across developed market economies by de-concentrating country, currency, and individual company risks, especially in mega-cap multinationals.
3. Enhanced Return Potential:  Seeks to enhance return potential and reduce risk by selecting companies with a favorable combination of risk/return factors, including value, momentum and quality.

The Fund returned (annualized) 10.62% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the year ending September 30, 2016. The difference in returns between the Fund and the Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results.

Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF (ROAM) (Unaudited)
(formerly known as Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF)

Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF (the “Fund”) offers to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return performance of Hartford Risk-Optimized Multifactor Emerging Markets Index (LROAMX) (the “Index”), (formerly known as Lattice Risk-Optimized Advancing Markets Strategy Index), which is designed to balance risks and opportunities within equity markets of emerging economies while emphasizing constituents exhibiting a favorable combination of factor characteristics.

By investing in the index constituents, the Fund seeks to generate returns through the systematic re-allocation of risks commonly found in capitalization-weighted emerging markets indexes by:

1. Deliberate Risk Allocation:  Expands the investment opportunity and seeks to harness emerging markets’ growth potential by allocating risk across countries and companies.
2. Improved Diversification:  Improves diversification by providing deeper exposure to emerging economies and companies.
3. Enhanced Return Potential:  Increases exposure to countries earlier in their growth cycle and selects companies with favorable risk/return factors, including value, momentum and quality.

The Fund returned (annualized) 12.20% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the year ending September 30, 2016. The difference in returns between the Fund and the Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results.

(formerly known as Lattice US Equity Strategy ETF)

Hartford Multifactor US Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return performance Hartford Risk-Optimized Multifactor US Equity Index (LROUSX) (the “Index”), (formerly known as Lattice Risk-Optimized US Equity Strategy Index), which seeks to improve returns through a market cycle relative to traditional cap-weighted U.S. equity market indices and active U.S. equity market strategies.

By investing in the Index constituents, the Fund seeks to generate returns and capture value in US equities through the systematic re-allocation of risks commonly found in capitalization-weighted by:

1. Deliberate Risk Allocation:  Seeks to efficiently allocate capital deeper in the US large cap universe, beyond mega-caps, and toward companies with more favorable risk/reward potential.
2. Improved Diversification:  Improves diversification across the US Large Cap universe, investing deeper into dynamic US companies
3. Enhanced Return Potential:  Seeks to enhance return potential and reduce risk by selecting companies with a favorable combination of risk/return factors, including value, momentum and quality.

The Fund returned (annualized) 9.01% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the year ending September 30, 2016. The difference in returns between the Fund and the Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Expense Example

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 management fees and other Fund expenses. The 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, April 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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, a $6,800 account value divided by $1,000 = $6.80), then multiply the result by the number in the column titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Hypothetical Example For Comparison Purposes

The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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 exchange-traded funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other exchange-traded 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 information under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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 have been 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 expenses of the independent trustees and their counsel, extraordinary expenses and interest expense).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization

Lattice Strategies Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), consisting of multiple investment series (each a “Fund” and, collectively, “Funds”). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 15, 2014. The Lattice Developed Markets (ex-US) Strategy ETF, Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF and Lattice US Equity Strategy ETF commenced operations on February 25, 2015. The Lattice Global Small Cap Strategy ETF commenced operations on March 23, 2015. The offering shares (“Shares”) of the Funds are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). The investment objective of each Fund is to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return, of a specified market index (each an “Index” and together the “Indexes”). Lattice Strategies LLC (“Lattice” or the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser for each Fund. Mellon Capital Management Corporation (“Mellon Capital” or the “Sub-Adviser,” and together with the Adviser, “Advisers”) serves as the investment sub-adviser for each Fund.

Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). ETFs are funds that trade like other publicly traded securities. Each Fund is designed to track an index. Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on NYSE Arca. Each share of a Fund represents a partial ownership in securities held by the Fund. Shares of a Fund may be purchased or redeemed directly from the Fund at NAV only by certain large institutional investors (“Authorized Participants”) who have entered into agreements with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (“ALPS” or the “Distributor”), the Funds’ Distributor.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.

On July 25, 2016, Shareholders of the Funds approved an amended Declaration of Trust of the Trust (the “Amended Declaration of Trust”), which: (a) removed the limitation on reclassifying or changing outstanding shares; (b) expanded the mandatory redemption provisions; and (c) adjusted procedural matters regarding shareholder disputes. The Amended Declaration of Trust, as it appeared in the proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) via EDGAR on June 27, 2016, be, and hereby is, incorporated by reference into this shareholder report.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, GAAP, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Cash, cash equivalents and Foreign Currency:  Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less when acquired, and are disclosed as Short-Term Investments in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, as applicable.

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation

date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.

Dividends and Distributions:  Dividends from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid periodically but may vary significantly from period to period. Distributions of net realized securities gains, if any, generally are declared and paid once a year, but the Trust may make distributions on a more frequent basis for a Fund to improve index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, in all events in a manner consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act. Management of the Trust reserves the right to declare special dividends if, in its reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve a Fund’s eligibility for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes at the Fund level.

Investment Transactions:  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the specifically identified cost basis.

Investment Income:  Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend, in the case of certain dividends on foreign issuers.

Expenses:  Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one Fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective Funds.

Other:  In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that may include agreements to indemnify another party under given circumstances. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be, but have not yet been, made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered to be remote.

3. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements

Investment Valuation Policies:  Net asset value per Share for each Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of the Fund (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities) by the total number of Shares outstanding. Expenses and fees, including the management fees, are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining net asset value. The net asset value of a Fund is calculated by the custodian and determined as of the close of the regular trading session on the NYSE Arca (ordinarily

4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day that such exchange is open. A foreign (non-U.S.) equity security traded on a foreign exchange or on more than one exchange is typically valued using pricing information from the exchange considered by the manager to be the primary exchange. A foreign (non-U.S.) equity security will be valued as of the close of trading on the foreign exchange, or the NYSE Close, if the NYSE Close occurs before the end of trading on the foreign exchange. Fixed-income assets are generally valued as of the announced closing time for trading in fixed-income instruments in a particular market or exchange. Creation/redemption order cut-off times may be earlier on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (or applicable exchange or market on which a Fund’s investments are traded) announces an early closing time. Any assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars at market rates on the date of valuation (generally as of 4:00 p.m. London time) as quoted by one or more sources.

In calculating a Fund’s net asset value per Share, the Fund’s investments are generally valued using market valuations. A market valuation generally means a valuation (i) obtained from an exchange, a pricing service, or a major market maker (or dealer), (ii) based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service, or a major market maker (or dealer) or (iii) based on amortized cost. In the case of shares of other funds that are not traded on an exchange, a market valuation means such fund’s published net asset value per share. The Adviser may use various pricing services, or discontinue the use of any pricing service, as approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or the “Trust’s Board”) from time to time. A price obtained from a pricing service based on such pricing service’s valuation matrix may be considered a market valuation.

In the event that current market valuations are not readily available or such valuations do not reflect current market value, the Trust’s Board has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility to determine a security’s fair value. In determining such value the Adviser’s Valuation Committee may consider, among other things, (i) price comparisons among multiple sources, (ii) a review of corporate actions and news events, and (iii) a review of relevant financial indicators (e.g., movement in interest rates, market indices, and prices from each Fund’s Index Provider). In these cases, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect certain Fund securities’ fair values rather than their market prices. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by the Fund’s benchmark Index. This may result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the applicable Fund’s benchmark Index. With respect to securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges, the value of Fund securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or sell your Shares.

The Trust’s accounting services provider will obtain market prices for the Fund securities and exchange rates, if applicable, from independent pricing services approved or ratified by the Board of Trustees (“Pricing Services”). The Pricing Services shall determine such prices and rates in a manner consistent with the procedures below.

A. Equity Securities:  The accounting services provider obtains readily available market quotations from the Pricing Services approved by the Board. Equity securities shall be valued: (a) by using readily available market quotations provided by a primary pricing service; (b) by using a secondary pricing service; or (c) by obtaining direct written broker-dealer quotations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Equity securities will be valued in the following order:

1. If a security is traded on the date, then the last quoted sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded, up to the time of valuation, is used. If the security is not traded on the date, the security will be valued at the mean between the last available bid and asked price. If the security is listed on more than one exchange, the price on the exchange that is generally considered the principal exchange will be used.

2. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices.

B. Fixed Income Securities:  Fixed income securities shall be valued in the following order: (a) by using readily available market quotations provided by a pricing service; (b) by using a market value from a pricing service generated by a pricing matrix based upon yield data for securities with similar characteristics; or (c) by obtaining direct written broker-dealer quotations. Fixed income securities are valued at the quoted bid for such securities. Interest-bearing commercial paper which is purchased at par will be priced at par.

C. Options and Futures Contracts:  Options, futures contracts and options thereon, which are traded on exchanges, are valued at their bid price as of the close of such exchanges or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last available bid and asked prices on such day as reported by the pricing service shall be used. If an options or futures exchange closes later than 3:00 p.m. Central Time, the options or futures traded on it are valued based on the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices as of 3:00 p.m. Central Time.

D. Short-Term Obligations:  Short-term debt obligations with remaining maturities in excess of 60 days are valued at current market prices, as discussed above. Short-term debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are, unless conditions indicate otherwise, amortized to maturity based on their cost to the applicable Fund if acquired within 60 days of maturity or, if already held by the Fund on the 60th day, based on the value determined on the 61st day.

E. Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) Securities:  OTC securities that are not traded on NASDAQ shall be valued at the most recent trade price.

The Funds apply the provisions of GAAP surrounding fair value measurements that define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with these provisions, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an ordinary transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment.

The Funds categorize their fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example,

61

certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which the Fund’s net assets are computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investments).

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by such Fund’s benchmark Index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between a Fund’s performance and the performance of such Fund’s benchmark Index.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

(vi) distribution fees and expenses paid by each Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and (vii) the advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Mellon Capital serves as the investment sub-adviser for each Fund pursuant to an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement dated December 31, 2014 between the Adviser and Mellon Capital. The Sub-Adviser is responsible for placing purchase and sale orders and shall make investment decisions for each Fund, subject to the supervision by the Adviser. For its services, the Sub-Adviser is compensated by the Adviser.

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. Effective December 12, 2014, 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, and over time, these fees will increase the cost of your investment and they may cost more than certain other types of sales charges.

For the year ended September 30, 2016, the Funds did not pay any Rule 12b-1 fees.

Effective March 1, 2016, the Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse the fees and expenses of the Trustees of the Trust who are not officers, directors/trustees, partners or employees of the Adviser or its affiliates (“Independent Trustees”) and their independent counsel, if any, until March 1, 2017. The Trust’s Board of Trustees may terminate the contractual arrangement at any time if it determines that it is in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. For the year ended September 30, 2016, the Trustees’ expenses were $22,725, $20,728, $17,628, and $22,248, for the Lattice Developed Markets (ex-US) Strategy ETF, Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF, Lattice Global Small Cap Strategy ETF, and Lattice US Equity Strategy ETF, respectively.

On July 29, 2016, Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“Hartford”) acquired Lattice and said acquisition terminated the existing advisory agreement with Lattice and sub-advisory agreement with Mellon Capital. On July 25, 2016, the Shareholders of the Funds approved a new advisory agreement with Lattice and a new sub-advisory agreement with Mellon Capital.

5. 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 the 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. The 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 pay a transaction fee to the shareholder servicing agent 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 through a broker, dealer, bank or other entity that is 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, a higher transaction fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:

Shares are listed on the NYSE Arca and 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 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 NAV upon sale of shares.

As an ETF, individual Fund Shares may only be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca through a broker-dealer. The price of Fund 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). Lattice Developed Markets (ex-US) Strategy ETF, Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF, and Lattice Global Small Cap Strategy ETF will only issue or redeem Creation Units (100,000 shares) to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor. Lattice US Equity Strategy ETF will only issue or redeem Creation Units (50,000 shares) to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor. The Funds generally will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a designated Fund 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.

The NYSE Arca will disseminate, every fifteen seconds during the regular trading day, an indicative optimized fund value (“IOPV”) relating to the Funds. The IOPV calculations are estimates of the value of the Funds’ net asset value per Share using market data converted into U.S. dollars at the current currency rates. The IOPV price is based on quotes and closing prices from the securities’ local market and may not reflect events that occur subsequent to the local market’s close. Premiums and discounts between the IOPV and the market price may occur. This should not be viewed as a “real-time” update of the net asset value per Share of the Funds, which is calculated only once a day. Neither the Funds, nor the Adviser or any of their affiliates are involved in, or responsible for, the calculation or dissemination of such IOPVs and make no warranty as to their accuracy.

6. Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent

State Street Bank serves as Administrator for the Trust pursuant to an administration agreement (“Administration Agreement”) dated December 12, 2014. Under the Administration Agreement, State Street Bank is responsible for certain administrative services associated with the day-to-day operations of each Fund. State Street also serves as Custodian for the Funds pursuant to a custodian agreement dated December 12, 2014. As Custodian, State Street holds each Fund’s assets, calculates the net asset value of the Shares and calculates net income and realized capital gains or losses. State Street also serves as Transfer Agent of each Fund pursuant to a transfer agency agreement dated December 12, 2014. As Transfer Agent, State Street maintains the records of each Authorized Participant’s ownership of each Fund and processes the purchases and redemptions of Creation Units.

7. Securities Lending

Each Fund may lend Fund securities to certain creditworthy borrowers in U.S. and non-U.S. markets in an amount not to exceed one third (33 1/3 percent) of the value of its total assets. The borrowers provide collateral that is marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. A Fund may terminate a loan at any time and obtain the securities loaned. A Fund receives the value of any interest or cash or non-cash distributions paid on the loaned securities. A Fund cannot vote proxies for securities on loan, but may recall loans to vote proxies if a material issue affecting the Fund’s economic interest in the investment is to be voted upon. Distributions received on loaned securities in lieu of dividend payments (i.e., substitute payments) would not be considered qualified dividend income for federal income tax purposes. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, a Fund may experience delays in recovering the securities or exercising its rights in the collateral. Loans are made only to borrowers that are deemed by the securities lending agent to be of good financial standing. In a loan transaction, a Fund will also bear the risk of any decline in value of securities acquired with cash collateral. Each Fund will minimize this risk by limiting the investment of cash collateral to high quality instruments of short maturity. This strategy is not used to leverage a Fund.

With respect to loans that are collateralized by cash, the borrower will be entitled to receive a fee based on the amount of cash collateral. A Fund is compensated by the difference between the amount earned on the reinvestment of cash collateral and the fee paid to the borrower. In the case of collateral other than cash, a Fund is compensated by a fee paid by the borrower equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities. Any cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of the lending Fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, which may include those managed by the Adviser.

A Fund may pay a portion of the interest or fees earned from securities lending to a borrower as described above, and to one or more securities lending agents approved by the Board who administer the lending program for the Funds in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board. In such capacity, the lending agent causes the delivery of loaned securities from a Fund to borrowers, arranges for the return of loaned securities to the Fund at the termination of a loan, requests deposit of collateral, monitors the daily value of the loaned securities and collateral, requests that borrowers add to the collateral when required by the loan agreements, and provides recordkeeping and accounting services necessary for the operation of the program. State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) has been approved by the Board to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds and the Trust has entered into an agreement with State Street for such services. Among other matters, the Trust has agreed to indemnify State Street for certain liabilities. The Fund’s securities lending income that appears on the Statements of Operations is net of any fees paid to State Street for serving as the securities lending agent.

Securities lending involves exposure to certain risks, including operational risk (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process — especially so in certain international markets such as Taiwan), “gap” risk (i.e., the risk of a mismatch between the return on cash collateral reinvestments and the fees a Fund has agreed to pay a borrower), risk of loss of collateral, credit, legal, counterparty and market risk. Although State Street has agreed to provide a Fund with indemnification in the event of a borrower default, a Fund is still exposed to the risk of losses in the event a borrower does not return a Fund’s securities as agreed. For example, delays in recovery of lent securities may cause a Fund to lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price.

(1) Amount consists of domestic and foreign equity securities.

8. Principal Risks

CURRENCY RISK:  [Lattice Developed Markets (ex-US) Strategy ETF, Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF, and Lattice Global Small Cap Strategy ETF only]: Because each Fund’s NAV is determined on the basis of the U.S. dollar, investors may lose money if the currency of a non-U.S. market in which a Fund invests depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the local currency value of a Fund’s holdings in that market increases.

CUSTODY RISK:  [Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF and Lattice Global Small Cap Strategy ETF only]: Custody risk refers to the risks inherent in the process of clearing and settling trades and the holding of securities by local banks, agents and depositories. Low trading volumes and volatile prices in less developed markets may make trades harder to complete and settle, and governments or trade groups may compel local agents to hold securities in designated depositories that may not be subject to independent evaluation. Local agents are held only to the standards of care of their local markets. In general, the less developed a country’s securities market is, the greater the likelihood of custody problems.

DERIVATIVE RISK:  A derivative is a financial contract the value of which depends on, or is derived from, the value of a financial asset (such as stock, bond or currency), a physical asset (such as gold) or a market index (such as the S&P 500 Index). Each Fund may invest in futures contracts and other derivatives. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative. Compared to conventional securities, derivatives can be more sensitive to changes in interest rates or to sudden fluctuations in market prices and thus a Fund’s losses may be greater if it invests in derivatives than if it invests only in conventional securities. Derivatives are also subject to credit risk because a Fund could lose money when a contracting party is unable to meet its contractual obligations in a timely manner or negative perceptions of a contracting party’s ability to meet its obligations cause the derivative to decline in value.

EMERGING MARKETS RISK:  [Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF and Lattice Global Small Cap Strategy ETF only]: Some foreign markets in which the Fund may invest are considered to be emerging markets. Investment in these emerging markets subjects the Fund to a greater risk of loss than investments in

70

a developed market. This is due to, among other things, greater market volatility, lower trading volume, political and economic instability, high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation, greater risk of market shut down, and more governmental limitations on foreign investment policy than those typically found in a developed market. These economies are less developed and can be overly reliant on particular industries and more vulnerable to changes in international trade, trade barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures. High levels of debt tend to make emerging economies heavily reliant on foreign capital and vulnerable to capital flight and the volatility of emerging markets may be heightened by the actions of a few major investors. Some governments exercise substantial influence over the private economic sector and the social and political uncertainties that exist for many developing countries is significant. In adverse social and political circumstances, governments have been involved in policies of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalism, intervention in the securities markets and trade settlement, and imposition of foreign investment restrictions and exchange controls, and these could be repeated in the future. In certain emerging markets, investments may be subject to heightened risks with regard to ownership and custody of securities. For example, security ownership may be evidenced by entries in the books of a company or its registrar, which may not be independent of the issuer, instead of through a central registration system and without effective government supervision. Particularly with respect to a Fund’s investment in actual foreign securities, the possibility of fraud, negligence, undue influence being exerted by the issuer or refusal to recognize ownership exists could, along with other factors, result in the registration of the Fund’s shareholding being completely lost and cause the Fund to suffer an investment loss. For these and other reasons, investments in emerging markets are often considered speculative.

EQUITY SECURITIES RISK:  Each Fund invests in equity securities, which are subject to changes in value that may be attributable to market perception of a particular issuer or to general stock market fluctuations that affect all issuers. Investments in equity securities may be more volatile than investments in other asset classes.

EQUITY INVESTING RISK:  An investment in each Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund of equity securities, such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices.

FUND OF FUNDS RISK:  [Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF only]: To the extent that a Fund invests in other investment companies such as closed-end funds or ETFs, it bears its pro rata share of these investment companies’ expense, and is subject to the effects of the business and regulatory developments that affect these investment companies and the investment company industry generally.

FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK:  [Lattice Developed Markets (ex-US) Strategy ETF, Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF, and Lattice Global Small Cap Strategy ETF only]: Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities.

FOREIGN SECURITIES:  A Fund may invest in foreign securities, including non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities traded outside of the United States and U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the United States. Foreign securities also include ADRs, which are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts representing shares of foreign-based corporations. ADRs are issued by U.S. banks or trust companies, and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares. Investment in ADRs may be less liquid than the liquidity of the underlying shares in their primary trading market. Foreign securities also include GDRs, which are similar to ADRs, but are shares of foreign-based corporations generally issued by international banks

71

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2016

in one or more markets around the world. Many GDRs are issued by companies in emerging markets. Investment in ADRs, GDRs and EDRs may be less liquid and more volatile than the underlying shares in their primary trading market.

DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS MAY BE “SPONSORED” OR “UNSPONSORED”:  Sponsored depositary receipts are established jointly by a depositary and the underlying issuer, whereas unsponsored depositary receipts may be established by a depositary without participation by the underlying issuer. Holders of an unsponsored depositary receipt generally bear all the costs associated with establishing the unsponsored depositary receipt. In addition, the issuers of the securities underlying unsponsored depositary receipts are not obligated to disclose material information in the United States and, therefore, there may be less information available regarding such issuers and there may not be a correlation between such information and the market value of the depositary receipts.

DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS MAY BE UNREGISTERED AND UNLISTED:  A Fund’s investments may also include ADRs, GDRs and EDRs that are not purchased in the public markets and are restricted securities that can be offered and sold only to “qualified institutional buyers” under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The Adviser will determine the liquidity of such investments pursuant to guidelines established by the Board. If a particular investment in such ADRs or GDRs is deemed illiquid, that investment will be included within a Fund’s limitation on investment in illiquid securities. Moreover, if adverse market conditions were to develop during the period between a Fund’s decision to sell these types of ADRs or GDRs and the point at which a Fund is permitted or able to sell such security, a Fund might obtain a price less favorable than the price that prevailed when it decided to sell.

FOREIGN SECURITIES INVOLVE SPECIAL RISKS AND COSTS:  Investment in foreign securities may involve higher costs than investment in U.S. securities, including higher transaction and custody costs as well as the imposition of additional taxes by foreign governments. Foreign investments may also involve risks associated with the level of currency exchange rates, less complete financial information about the issuers, less market liquidity, more market volatility and political instability. Future political and economic developments, the possible imposition of withholding taxes on income, the possible seizure or nationalization of foreign holdings, the possible establishment of exchange controls or freezes on the convertibility of currency, or the adoption of other governmental restrictions might adversely affect an investment in securities of foreign issuers. Changes to the financial condition or credit rating of foreign issuers may also adversely affect the value of a Fund’s securities. Additionally, foreign issuers may be subject to less stringent regulation, and to different accounting, auditing and recordkeeping requirements.

POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RISK:  The Funds are subject to foreign political and economic risk not associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers, meaning that political events (civil unrest, national elections, changes in political conditions and foreign relations, imposition of exchange controls and repatriation restrictions), social and economic events (labor strikes, rising inflation) and natural disasters occurring in a foreign country could cause a Fund’s investments to experience gains or losses. A Fund also could be unable to enforce its ownership rights or pursue legal remedies in countries where it invests.

FOREIGN MARKET AND TRADING RISK:  The trading markets for many foreign securities are not as active as U.S. markets and may have less governmental regulation and oversight. Foreign markets also may have clearance and settlement procedures that make it difficult for a Fund to buy and sell

72


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

September 30, 2016

securities. These factors could result in a loss to a Fund by causing the Fund to be unable to dispose of an investment or to miss an attractive investment opportunity, or by causing Fund assets to be uninvested for some period of time.

GEOGRAPHIC RISK:  [Lattice Developed Markets (ex-US) Strategy ETF, Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF, and Lattice Global Small Cap Strategy ETF only]: Some of the markets in which the Funds invest are located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, droughts, hurricanes or tsunamis, and are economically sensitive to environmental events. Any such event may adversely impact the economies of these geographic areas, causing an adverse impact on the value of a Fund.

INDEX TRACKING RISK:  There is a risk that the performance of each Fund may diverge from performance of the respective Index as a result of tracking error. Tracking error may occur because of differences between the securities held in a Fund and those included in the Index. Tracking error may also occur because of pricing differences, transaction costs, a Fund holding uninvested cash, differences in the timing of the accrual of dividends, changes to the Index or the costs of complying with various new or existing regulatory requirements. Additionally, tracking error may result because a Fund incurs fees and expenses, while the Index does not.

ISSUER RISK:  The performance of each Fund depends on the performance of individual securities to which a Fund has exposure. Any issuer of these securities may perform poorly, causing the value of its securities to decline. Poor performance may be caused by poor management decisions, competitive pressures, changes in technology, expiration of patent protection, disruptions in supply, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures or other factors. Issuers may, in times of distress or at their own discretion, decide to reduce or eliminate dividends, which may also cause their stock prices to decline.

LARGE CAP RISK:  [Lattice US Equity Strategy ETF only]: The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.

MARKET RISK:  Each Fund could lose money due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during market downturns. Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of a security may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected.

MARKET TRADING RISK

ABSENCE OF ACTIVE MARKET:  Although Shares of each Fund are listed for trading on one or more stock exchanges, each Fund is a relatively new fund and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants.

RISK OF SECONDARY LISTINGS:  Each Fund’s Shares may be listed or traded on U.S. and non-U.S. stock exchanges other than the U.S. stock exchange where the Fund’s primary listing is maintained. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s Shares will continue to trade on any such stock exchange or in any market or that a Fund’s Shares will continue to meet the requirements for listing or

73


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LATTICE STRATEGIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2016

trading on any exchange or in any market. Each Fund’s Shares may be less actively traded in certain markets than in others, and investors are subject to the execution and settlement risks and market standards of the market where they or their broker direct their trades for execution. Certain information available to investors who trade Fund Shares on a U.S. stock exchange during regular U.S. market hours may not be available to investors who trade in other markets, which may result in secondary market prices in such markets being less efficient.

SECONDARY MARKET TRADING RISK:  Shares of each Fund may trade in the secondary market at times when a Fund does not accept orders to purchase or redeem Shares. At such times, Shares may trade in the secondary market with more significant premiums or discounts than might be experienced at times when a Fund accepts purchase and redemption orders. Secondary market trading in Fund Shares may be halted by a stock exchange because of market conditions or for other reasons. In addition, trading in Fund Shares on a stock exchange or in any market may be subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to “circuit breaker” rules on the stock exchange or market. There can be no assurance that the requirements necessary to maintain the listing or trading of Fund Shares will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. Shares of each Fund, similar to shares of other issuers listed on a stock exchange, may be sold short and are therefore subject to the risk of increased volatility associated with short selling.

SHARES OF THE FUND MAY TRADE AT PRICES OTHER THAN NAV:  Shares of each Fund trade on stock exchanges at prices at, above or below a Fund’s most recent NAV. The NAV of each Fund is calculated at the end of each business day and fluctuates with changes in the market value of a Fund’s holdings. The trading price of a Fund’s Shares fluctuates continuously throughout trading hours based on both market supply of and demand for Fund Shares and the underlying value of Fund holdings or NAV. As a result, the trading prices of a Fund’s Shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. Any of these factors, among others, may lead to Shares trading at premium or discount to NAV. However, because Shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units at NAV (unlike shares of many closed-end funds, which frequently trade at appreciable discounts from, and sometimes at premiums to, their NAVs), Lattice believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of a Fund are not likely to be sustained over the long term. While the creation/redemption feature is designed to make it more likely that a Fund’s Shares normally will trade on stock exchanges at prices close to a Fund’s next calculated NAV, exchange prices are not expected to correlate exactly with a Fund’s NAV due to timing reasons, supply and demand imbalances and other factors. In addition, disruptions to creations and redemptions, including disruptions at market makers or Authorized Participants, or to market participants or during periods of significant market volatility, may result in trading prices for Shares of a Fund that differ significantly from its NAV.

COSTS OF BUYING OR SELLING FUND SHARES:  Buying or selling Fund Shares on an exchange involves two types of costs that apply to all securities transactions. When buying or selling Shares of a Fund through a broker, you will likely incur a brokerage commission or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. In addition, you may incur the cost of the “spread,” that is, the difference between what investors are willing to pay for Fund Shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which they are willing to sell Fund Shares (the “ask” price). Because of the costs inherent in buying or selling Fund Shares, frequent trading may detract significantly from investment results and an investment in Fund Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

PASSIVE STRATEGY/INDEX RISK:  The Funds are not actively managed and may be affected by a general decline in market segments related to their respective Index. Each Fund invests in securities included,

74


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LATTICE STRATEGIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2016

in, or representative of, the Index, regardless of their investment merits. Additionally, Lattice generally does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets.

SECURITIES LENDING RISK:  Each Fund may engage in securities lending. 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.

SMALL CAP RISK:  [Lattice US Equity Strategy ETF and Lattice Global Small Cap Strategy ETF only]: Investing in small capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with more established companies. The prices of securities of small capitalization companies generally are more volatile than those of large capitalization companies and are more likely to be adversely affected than larger capitalization companies by changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions. Securities of small capitalization companies may underperform larger capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies often have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources and their management may lack depth and experience. Such companies usually do not pay significant dividends that could cushion returns in a falling market.

VALUATION RISK:  The sale price each Fund could receive for a security may differ from a Fund’s valuation of the security and may differ from the value used by the Index, particularly for securities that trade in low volume or volatile markets, or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Because non-U.S. exchanges may be open on days when the Funds do not price its Shares, the value of the securities in a Fund may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or sell the Fund’s Shares. In addition, for purposes of calculating each Fund’s NAV, the value of assets denominated in non-U.S. currencies is converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by Lattice. This conversion may result in a difference between the prices used to calculate each Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between a Fund’s performance and the performance of the Index.

10. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to qualify and elect to be treated as a separate “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify and maintain its tax status as a regulated investment company, each Fund must meet annually certain income and asset diversification requirements and must distribute annually at least 90 percent of its “investment company taxable income” (which includes dividends, interest and net short-term capital gains).

If the Fund fails to qualify as a regulated investment company for any year (subject to certain curative measures allowed by the Internal Revenue Code), the Fund is subject to regular corporate-level income tax in that year on all of its taxable income, regardless of whether the Fund makes any distributions to its shareholders. In addition, distributions will be taxable to the Funds’ shareholders generally as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Funds’ current and accumulated earnings and profits.

Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

   
Fund   Ordinary
Income 2016
  Ordinary
Income 2015
Lattice Developed Markets (ex-US) Strategy ETF   $ 766,330     $ 391,063

The differences between the book unrealized amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and tax unrealized amounts (shown above) are due to foreign currency gains and losses, tax deferral of losses on wash sales, and adjustments for real estate investment trusts.

A. Distributions To Shareholders:  The Funds will normally distribute substantially all of their net investment income at least annually. Any realized net capital gains will be distributed annually. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at any time to comply with U.S federal tax requirements. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of the Funds.

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily related to foreign currency gains and losses, passive foreign investment, partnership basis adjustments, return of capital distributions from real estate investments trusts, and capital gain distributions, resulted in reclassification for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Lattice Strategies Trust,

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Lattice Strategies Trust (comprising, respectively, Lattice Developed Markets (ex-US) Strategy ETF, Lattice Emerging Markets Strategy ETF, Lattice Global Small Cap Strategy ETF and Lattice US Equity Strategy ETF) (the Trust) as of September 30, 2016, and the related statements of operations, and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights of the Trust for the periods presented through September 30, 2015, were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 24, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform audits of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and others. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective portfolios constituting Lattice Strategies Trust at September 30, 2016, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SUMMARY OF BOARD’S ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT APPROVAL PROCESS AND CONSIDERATIONS

The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) of the Trust met in person on June 10, 2016, to consider the approval of (1) a new investment advisory agreement (the “New Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and Lattice Strategies LLC (the “Adviser”), and (2) a new investment sub-advisory agreement (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and, together with the New Advisory Agreement, the “New Agreements”) between the Adviser and Mellon Capital Management Corporation (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Board considered the New Agreements because of a proposed transaction wherein Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“Hartford”) would acquire the Adviser, effective on or about July 29, 2016 (the “Transaction”). Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), consummation of the Transaction would result in the automatic “assignment” (i.e., termination) of the existing advisory agreement with the Adviser and the existing sub-advisory agreement with the Sub-Adviser. In order to avoid a disruption of services to the Funds, the Board considered the New Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement and, as detailed below, approved the New Agreements subject to approval of such New Agreements by the shareholders of the Funds. The Board considered the then current draft of the preliminary proxy statement prepared to seek shareholder approval of the New Agreements. The Board considered the New Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement and the engagement of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser separately, although the factors for consideration were similar.

In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve each of the New Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement. In connection with considering approval of the New Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), met with counsel to the Trust, and separately in executive session with counsel to the Independent Trustees, who provided assistance and advice. The Board considered the impact of the Transaction on the Funds and shareholders, and received information and assurances from the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and Hartford regarding the nature and quality of services to be provided after the Transaction, as well as that the level of fees to be charged would be unchanged. The Board noted that there were several proposed changes to New Advisory Agreement, including that several additional services would be performed by Lattice, although the other terms of the New Advisory Agreement were substantially similar to the existing advisory agreement. The consideration of the New Advisory Agreement and New 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 each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser; (2) the investment performance of each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser; (3) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates from the relationship with the Trust; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow; (5) any benefits derived or to be derived by each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the Trust; (6) potential conflicts of interest; (7) the fees paid to and services provided by the Funds’ administrator and transfer agent; and (8) the Adviser’s representations concerning its staffing, capabilities and methodologies applied in managing the Funds, including the importance of retention of personnel with relevant portfolio management experience.

In reviewing such factors, the Board relied on certain information, including (1) copies of the New Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement and comparisons to the existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements; (2) information from the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, Hartford and the services provided thereby,

including key personnel, investment process, research department, and securities portfolio execution process; (3) information regarding the compliance programs of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser; (4) copies of the Forms ADV for the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser; and (5) memoranda and guidance from Kaye Scholer on the fiduciary responsibilities of trustees, including Independent Trustees, in considering advisory and distribution agreements under the 1940 Act. In addition, the Board was provided data from Broadridge dated June 2016 comparing the advisory fees and total expenses of the Funds with expenses and performance of other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and mutual funds 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.

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 proposed to be provided by each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board received information on and considered the division of responsibility of services to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including the fact that day-to-day portfolio management would be conducted by the Sub-Adviser. The Board reviewed the experience and resources that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser had in managing strategies similar to those proposed for the Funds, including information regarding the education and experience of management and investment personnel and the anticipated role of senior management in the day-to-day operations of the Funds and on the quality of the compliance and administrative staff at the Adviser and Hartford.

The Board determined that the Funds would likely benefit from the services and resources available from the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and Hartford, in respect of their responsibilities. In particular, they noted the extensive experience of the Adviser’s management personnel in developing and administering strategies that would be utilized by the Funds and the past performance of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser in providing services to the Funds.

2. The advisory fee paid by and overall expenses of the Funds. The Board considered comprehensive data and information comparing the advisory fees and total expense ratios of the Funds. The Board considered that the fee payable to the Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser out of its management fee. The Board determined that the advisory fees charged and overall expenses of the Funds were competitive and in line with the related universe of funds. In light of the nature, quality, and extent of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and the costs incurred by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser in rendering those services, the Board concluded that the level of fees paid to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser with respect to each Fund were fair and reasonable.
3. Financial condition of each of the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and Hartford. After considering information relating to the financial condition of the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and Hartford, as well as the expected fees and operating costs relating to the management of the Funds, the Board determined that each of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser would be capable of providing services to the Funds.
4. Possible conflicts of interest. The Board considered the experience and ability of the advisory personnel assigned to the Funds, soft-dollar arrangements and the brokerage policies of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and the substance and administration of the Codes of Ethics of the Trust, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board determined that the personnel and compliance policies of the Trust, Adviser and Sub-Adviser were each well designed to monitor and address conflicts of interest.

5. Effect of the Funds’ growth and size on its investment performance and expenses, The Board considered information relating to the trading of the Funds. It determined that the expense ratios of the Funds were well suited in light of expectations for future asset accumulation and projected growth after the Transaction.

Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, and while no single factor was determinative in the decision, all of the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory fee rates and total expense ratios are reasonable in relation to the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, as well as the costs incurred and the benefits gained by the Adviser in providing such services. The Board also found the investment advisory fees paid to the Adviser to be reasonable in comparison to the fees charged by advisers to other comparable funds of similar anticipated size. As a result, all of the Board members, including the Independent Trustees, approved the New Advisory Agreement and the submission of the New Advisory Agreement to shareholders for approval.

With respect to the Sub-Adviser and based on the foregoing analysis and such other matters as were deemed relevant, and while no single factor was determinative in the decision, all of the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the sub-advisory fee rates and total expense ratios are reasonable in relation to the services provided by the Sub-Adviser to the Funds, as well as the costs incurred and the benefits gained by the Sub-Adviser in providing such services. As a result, all of the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement and the submission of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement to shareholders for approval.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Premium/Discount Information

The tables that follow present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a Fund and that Fund’s net asset value. Net asset value, or “NAV,” is the price per share at which each Fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of each Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of such Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Each Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the fair value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of each Fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand. Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. The following information shows the frequency distributions of premiums and discounts for each of the Funds included in this report. The information shown for each Fund is for the fund listing date through the date of the fiscal year end. The specific periods covered for each Fund are disclosed in the table for such Fund.

Each line in the table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

Exhibit 12(a)(1)

LATTICE STRATEGIES TRUST

HARTFORD FUNDS EXCHANGE-TRADED TRUST

(each a “Trust” and together, the “Trusts”)

 

Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Senior Financial Officers

I.Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

 

This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) is intended to serve as the Code of Ethics described in Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 2 of Form N-CSR. This Code shall apply to each Trust’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Covered Officers,” each of whom is named in Exhibit A attached hereto), consistent with and in furtherance of their fiduciary duties, and for the purpose of promoting:

 

·                     honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

·                     full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Trust;

 

·                     compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

 

·                     the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

 

·                     accountability for adherence to the Code.

 

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

 

II.Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

 

Overview. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest has the potential to interfere with the interests of, or his or her service to, a Trust. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with a Trust. Covered Officers must avoid conduct that conflicts, or appears to conflict, with their duties to the Trust. All Covered Officers should conduct themselves such that any reasonable observer would have no grounds for belief that a conflict of interest has not been appropriately addressed and resolved. Covered Officers are not permitted to self-deal or otherwise to use their positions with the Trust to further their own or any other related person’s business opportunities.

 

 

 

This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace the programs and procedures or codes of ethics of each Trust (adopted under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) or each Trust’s investment adviser.

 

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between a Trust and its investment adviser of which the Covered Officers may be officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trust or the investment adviser), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the service providers and a Trust. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between a Trust and its service providers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of a Trust. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically.

 

The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should be properly disclosed to the Trust and resolved by persons who do not have a personal interest.

 

*       *       *       *

 

Each Covered Officer must not:

 

·                     use his or her personal influence or personal relationship improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust;

 

·                     cause the Trust to take action, or fail to take action, for the improper personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Trust; or

 

·                     retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of a Trust or its affiliated persons for reports that are made in good faith of actual or of potential violations by a Trust or such affiliated persons of applicable rules and regulations.

 

Each Covered Officer must discuss certain material conflict of interest situations with the respective Trust’s Audit Committee. Examples of such situations include:

 

·                     service as a director on the Board of a publicly traded company;

 

·                     accepting directly or indirectly investment opportunities, gifts or other gratuities from individuals conducting or seeking to conduct business with a Trust or the Trust’s investment adviser. However, Covered Officers may accept gifts from a single giver in aggregate amounts not exceeding $100, and may attend business meals, sporting events and other entertainment events at the expense of a giver as long as the expense is reasonable and both the giver(s) and the Covered Officer(s) are present;

 

 

 

·                     any direct or indirect ownership interest in, financial relationships with, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trusts’ service providers; and

 

·                     a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Trust for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares.

 

III.Disclosure and Compliance

 

·                     Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to each Trust and should understand the Trust’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

·                     Each Covered Officer should not knowingly or negligently misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Trust to others, whether within or outside the Trust, including to each Trust’s Board, Audit Committee and independent auditors, and to governmental regulators, self-regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

 

·                     Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of each Trust and its service providers with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trust.

 

·                     It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote and encourage professional integrity in all aspects of each Trust’s operations.

 

IV.       Reporting and Accountability

 

Each Covered Officer must:

 

·                     upon adoption of this Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), sign and return a report in the form of Exhibit B to the person named in Exhibit A affirming that he or she has received, read and understands the Code;

 

·                     annually sign and return a report in the form of Exhibit C to the person named in Exhibit A affirming that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code; and

 

·                     notify each Trust’s Audit Committee promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

 

 

 

Each Trust’s Audit Committee is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation, including any approvals or waivers sought by the Covered Officers.

 

The Trusts’ Audit Committee will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

 

·                     The Audit Committee will take all appropriate actions to investigate any potential violations reported to the Committee.

 

·                     If, after such investigation, the Audit Committee believes that no violation has occurred, the Audit Committee is not required to take any further action.

 

·                     Any matter that the Audit Committee believes is a violation of this Code will be reported to the full Board.

 

·                     If the Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to the appropriate personnel of the investment advisor, administrator or its board; and possible dismissal of the Covered Officer as an officer of the Trust. No Covered Person will be disciplined for reporting a concern in good faith.

 

·                     The Audit Committee will be responsible for granting waivers of provisions of this Code, as appropriate.

 

·                     Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

 

V.       Other Policies and Procedures

 

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by each Trust for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of each Trust or the respective Trust’s investment adviser govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. Each Trust’s and the respective investment adviser’s code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and the respective investment adviser’s other policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

 

VI.       Amendments

 

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of independent trustees.

 

 

 

VII.       Confidentiality

 

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than each Trust’s Board, Trust’s Audit Committee, Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, legal counsel to the Trust, legal counsel to the Trustees who are not interested persons as that term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), and such other person as approved by a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees.

 

VIII.       Internal Use

 

The Code is intended solely for internal use by each Trust and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of a Trust, as to any fact, circumstance or legal conclusion.

 

The Code, and any waivers thereto, and any amendments thereto, must be disclosed to the public in one of three ways:

 

(i)filing a copy of the Code as an exhibit to the respective Trust’s Form N-CSR (annual report),

 

(ii)posting the Code on the Trusts’ website and disclosing on Form N-CSR the website address and the fact that the Code is posted there, or

 

(iii)providing an undertaking in the respective Trust’s Form N-CSR to provide a copy of the Code to any person, without charge upon request, and explaining the manner in which the request should be made.
