Man ETF Series Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period from commencement of operations through February 28, 2026
1. Organization
Man ETF Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 10, 2025 and is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of the Man Active Income ETF, the Man Active High Yield ETF, the Man Active Emerging Markets Alternative ETF, and the
Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF (individually a “Fund”, collectively “the Funds’). Each Fund is a non-diversified series of the Trust. The following table provides information about the Funds’ inception date and principal investment objectives:
| ETF | Inception Date | Investment Objective | ||
| Man Active Income ETF | 9/16/2025 | Provide Current Income | ||
| Man Active High Yield ETF | 9/16/2025 | Provide Income and Capital Growth over the medium to long term | ||
| Man Active Emerging Markets Alternative ETF | 12/16/2025 | Provide Capital Growth over the medium to long term | ||
| Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF | 12/16/2025 | Provide Capital Growth | ||
Man Solutions LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser has entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with GLG Partners LP, Numeric Investors LLC and AHL Partners LLP (each a “Sub-Adviser” and together the “Sub-Advisers” or “the Sub-Adviser”) to manage, on a daily basis, the assets of Man Active High Yield ETF & Man Active Income ETF, Man Active Emerging Markets Alternative ETF and Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF, respectively (each a “Sub-Adviser” and together the “Sub-Advisers” or “the Sub-Adviser”).
2. Cayman Subsidiary
The Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF intends to gain exposure to the commodities futures markets by investing through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”) that is advised by the Sub-Adviser. The Fund will invest in the Subsidiary in a manner as permitted under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Subsidiary will invest primarily in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as commodity futures, forward and swaps, and other investments and cash instruments to serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary’s derivative positions. The Subsidiary will generally invest in commodities futures contracts and other derivative instruments that do not generate “qualifying income” under the source of income test required to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivatives; however, the Subsidiary will comply with the same 1940 Act requirements that are applicable to the Fund’s transactions in derivatives. In addition, the Subsidiary will be subject to the same fundamental investment restrictions and will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary will not seek to qualify as an RIC under the Code. The Fund is the sole investor in the Subsidiary and does not expect the shares of the Subsidiary to be offered or sold to other investors. The financial statements of the Subsidiary are consolidated with the Fund’s financial statements.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
The Funds’ financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. Dollars.
Management has determined that each Fund is a management investment company in conformity with U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).
Use of Accounting Judgements and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (“Topic 740”) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Management evaluated this ASU and has concluded that there was no impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
Operating Segments
The Funds follow FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The intent of ASU 2023-07 is, through improved segment disclosures, to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and to assess its potential future cash flows. The President of the Trust acts as the Funds’ chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that each Fund has a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and the Funds’ long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of their respective prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Funds’ portfolio managers as a team. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.

Man ETF Series Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
For the period from commencement of operations through February 28, 2026
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income and Expenses
Securities transactions are accounted for in the financial statements on trade date. Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are generally accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, if later, when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.
Share Valuation
The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of each of the Funds (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities and withholdings) by the total number of shares outstanding of each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The NAV per share of each Fund is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Foreign Currency Translation
The fair value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities of the Funds denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate determined to be reasonable. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from the changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from the changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
With respect to the Man Active Emerging Markets Alternative ETF, any assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4:00 p.m. London time on the date of the valuation as quoted by one or more sources.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Realized Gains and Losses and Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation
All realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) on investments in securities, derivatives and foreign currency are included in net realized gain / (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) on investments in securities, derivatives and foreign currency in the statements of operations. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation comprise of changes in the fair value of financial instruments for the year and from reversal of prior period’s unrealized appreciation and depreciation for financial instruments which were realized in the financial period. Realized gains and losses represent the difference between an instrument’s initial carrying amount and disposal amount, or cash payments or receipts made in respect of derivative contracts (excluding payments or receipts on collateral margin accounts for such instruments). The cost of securities sold is accounted for on a specific identification basis. Transaction costs or incremental costs directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability are included in net realized gain / (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) on investments in securities, derivatives and foreign currency in the statements of operations.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for the Man Active High Yield ETF and the Man Active Income ETF. The Man Active Emerging Markets Alternative ETF declares and pays dividends, if any, semi-annually and the Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF declares and pays dividends, if any, annually. Distributable net realized capital gains of the Funds, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Uninvested Cash
The Funds may maintain cash at their custodian which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high-quality financial institution in interest bearing accounts. The Funds may incur charges on cash overdrafts.
Federal Income Tax
Each Fund intends to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. If so qualified, each Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains earned on foreign investments at various rates. Where available, the Funds will file for claims on foreign taxes withheld. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the period ended February 28, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Indemnification
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds shall enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum liability exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as future claims that have not yet occurred may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.

4. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Services
Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Adviser, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Funds. For such investment advisory services, the Funds have agreed to pay the Adviser a unitary advisory fee payable at the annual rate equal to the percentage of each of the respective Funds’ average daily net assets set forth in the table below:
| ETF | Unitary Fee | |||
| Man Active income ETF |
0.85 | % | ||
| Man Active High Yield ETF |
0.69 | % | ||
| Man Active Emerging Markets Alternative ETF |
0.85 | % | ||
| Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF |
0.95 | % | ||
In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to pay all expenses incurred by, and appropriately allocated to, the Funds except for the advisory fee; investment-related costs (such as interest charges on any borrowings, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments); taxes; proxy and shareholder meeting expenses (unless the need for a shareholder meeting is caused by the Adviser, such as a change of control of the Adviser); fees and expenses related to the provision of securities lending services; acquired fund fees and expenses (other than management and shareholder service fees paid to the Adviser attributable to the Funds’ investment in such acquired funds); legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation, or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; legal fees incurred at the request or direction of a Fund service provider other than the Adviser; extraordinary (as mutually determined by the Board and the Adviser) or non-recurring expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business; and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Funds under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Funds have adopted a Distribution (12b-1) Plan pursuant to which the Funds may incur and pay a Distribution (12b-1) Fee of up to a maximum of 0.25%. No such fee is currently incurred and paid by the Funds. The Funds will not incur and pay such a Distribution (12b-1) Fee until such time as approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
The Bank of New York (“BNY”) serves as administrator, custodian and transfer agent for the Funds. BNY maintains all necessary records of the Funds.
5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Securities listed on a securities exchange (i.e., exchange-traded equity securities), market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued by the Fund’s independent pricing agents at the last reported sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at the time as of which the Fund’s NAV is calculated if a security’s exchange is normally open at that time). If there is no such reported sale, the Adviser will determine its fair value using appropriate fair value methodologies in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Fund seeks to obtain bid and ask prices from two broker-dealers who make a market in the portfolio instrument and determines the average of the two.
Any investments in open-end investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in open-end investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued in the same manner as other exchange-traded equity securities (described above).
Fixed-income securities (including convertible securities) normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees which will typically be at the mid price between the bid and ask for certain markets. Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but the Fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots, and their value may be adjusted accordingly.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available,” or for which market prices are not deemed to reflect current market values, or that are debt securities where no evaluated price is available from the Trust’s third-party pricing agents pursuant to established methodologies, are fair valued in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using “fair value” pricing may include, but are not limited to, the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed; or the security has not been traded for an extended period of time.
In addition, the Fund may fair value its securities if an event that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities that trade outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Fund calculates its NAV. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector, country or region. Events that may be Significant Events may include government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If the Adviser or Sub-Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a portfolio instrument or group of portfolio instruments after the closing of the exchange or market on which the portfolio instrument or portfolio instruments principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its NAV, it will notify the Fund’s administrator and may request that an ad hoc meeting of the Valuation Committee be called. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security may be materially different than the value that could actually be realized upon the sale of the security or than that of another fund that uses market quotations or its own fair value procedures to price the same securities.
Trading in securities on many foreign exchanges is normally completed before the close of business on each Business Day. In addition, securities trading in a particular country or countries may not take place on each Business Day or may take place on days that are not Business Days. Changes in valuations on certain securities may occur at times or on days on which the Fund’s NAV is not calculated and on which Fund shares do not trade and sales and redemptions of shares do not occur. As a result, the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the net asset value of its shares may change on days when share purchases or sales cannot occur.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
For the period from commencement of operations through February 28, 2026
The Board of Trustees has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee for the Fund under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, subject to its oversight. The Adviser has adopted procedures and methodologies to fair value Fund investments whose market prices are not readily available or are deemed to be unreliable. For example, such circumstances may arise when: (i) an investment has been delisted or has had its trading halted or suspended; (ii) an investment’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; (iii) an investment’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours; or (iv) an investment’s value is materially affected by events occurring after the close of the investment’s primary trading market. Generally, when fair valuing an investment, the Adviser will take into account all reasonably available information that may be relevant to a particular valuation including, but not limited to, fundamental analytical data regarding the issuer, information relating to the issuer’s business, recent trades or offers of the investment, general and/or specific market conditions, and the specific facts giving rise to the need to fair value the investment. Fair value determinations are made in good faith and in accordance with the fair value methodologies included in the Adviser-adopted valuation procedures. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that the Adviser will be able to obtain the fair value assigned to the investment upon the sale of such investment.
Each Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all its investments on a recurring basis. US GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of February 28, 2026 for each Fund’s investments measured at fair value:

6. Derivative Financial Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
As foreign securities are purchased, a Fund may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. A forward currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains/(losses) from forward foreign currency contracts in the Statements of Operations.
The average market value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts bought and sold during the period ended February 28, 2026, was $990,974 and $8,059,238, respectively for the Man Active Income ETF, $869,764 and $7,919,183, respectively for the Man Active High Yield ETF, and $35,741,765 and $17,779,690, respectively for the Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF. Open forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at February 28, 2026, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.
For the period ended February 28, 2026, realized gains/(losses) and the change in unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts subject to currency risk, as disclosed in the Statements of Operations, is as follows:
| ETF | Risk Type | Realized Gain / (Loss) |

| Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF |
Foreign Exchange | $ | 12,091 | $ | 350,083 | |||||
Futures Contracts
The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may sell futures contracts to hedge against market risk, foreign currency exchange rate risks and to reduce return volatility. Futures are standardized exchange-traded contracts that provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument (e.g., units of a securities index) for a specified price, date, time and place designated at the time the contract is made. Brokerage fees are incurred when a futures contract is bought or sold, and initial and variation margin deposits must be maintained. Entering into a contract to buy is commonly referred to as buying or purchasing a contract or holding a long position. Entering into a contract to sell is commonly referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position. The Funds may also buy or sell hedge instruments based on one or more market indices in an attempt to maintain the Funds’ volatility at a targeted level. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund’s agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, a Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. If a Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. These amounts are disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposits with Brokers when applicable. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to a Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
The average notional values of long position and short position futures contracts open during the period ended February 28, 2026, were $0 and $362,461, respectively for the Man Active Income ETF, and $76,695,612 and $0, respectively for the Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF. Open futures contracts outstanding at February 28, 2026, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.
For the period ended February 28, 2026, realized gains/(losses) and the change in unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) on futures contracts by risk type, as disclosed in the Statements of Operations, is as follows:

Swap Agreements
Certain Funds are subject to equity price risk and/or interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. These Funds may enter into various swap transactions for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, foreign exchange (currency) or credit risk. These are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments. In a standard over-the-counter (“OTC”) swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns, differentials in rates of return or some other amount earned or realized on the “notional amount” (i.e., the return or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a “basket” of securities, representing a particular index or industry sectors) of predetermined investments or instruments.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
For the period from commencement of operations through February 28, 2026
The swaps in which a Fund may invest may be centrally cleared or bi-laterally traded. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of a swap agreement are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. A Fund amortizes upfront payments and/or accrues for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount recorded as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses from the decrease in notional value of the swap are recognized on the trade date. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Each Fund’s maximum risk of loss from the counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flow to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive.
Swaps may involve greater risks than direct investments in securities because swaps may be leveraged and, when traded in the OTC markets, are subject to counterparty risk, credit risk and pricing risk, each of which individually and collectively, may have a considerable impact on the performance of a Fund. Swaps, especially those that are not exchange-traded, may also be considered illiquid. It may not be possible for a Portfolio to liquidate a swap position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses. Although central clearing and exchange-trading of swaps may decrease counterparty risk and increase market liquidity, exchange-trading and clearing do not make the contracts risk free, but rather, the primary credit risk on such contracts is the creditworthiness of the clearing broker or the clearinghouse.
The Funds use cash and certain securities as collateral to swap agreements as indicated on the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such collateral is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated account to prevent non-payment by the Funds. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund may seek return of this collateral and incur certain costs exercising their rights to the collateral.
The average notional values of long total return swaps open during the period ended February 28, 2026, were $1,788,471 for the Man Active Income ETF, $263,653 for the Man Active High Yield ETF, and $12,153,136 for the Man Active Emerging Markets Alternative ETF. The average notional values of credit default swaps sell protection open during the period ended February 28, 2026, were $88,000 for the Man Active High Yield ETF.

The Funds are subject to a number of principal risks that may affect the value of its shares. The following risks of investing in the Funds are listed below are presented in alphabetical order and not in order of importance or potential exposure.
Bank Loan Risk
The market for bank loans may not be highly liquid and the Funds may have difficulty selling them. In connection with purchasing loan participations, the Funds generally will have no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set-off rights, and the Funds may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the Funds may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation. Bank loan transactions may take more than seven days to settle, meaning that proceeds would be unavailable to make additional investments or meet redemptions.
Cash Transactions Risk
The Funds currently intend to typically effect creation and redemptions via cash transactions, but the Trust reserves the right to require creations and redemption be effected in whole or in part “in-kind. “ To the extent creations and redemptions are effected in cash, the Funds may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that does not elect to effect all creations and redemptions principally for cash. To the extent the Funds sells securities to meet some or all of a redemption request with cash, the Funds may incur taxable gains or losses that it might not have incurred had it made redemptions entirely in-kind. As a result, the Funds may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process were used. Additionally, the Funds may incur additional brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities if the Funds utilize cash as part of a creation or redemption transaction than it would if the Funds had transacted entirely in-kind.
Company Capitalization Risk
The Funds may invest in companies with market capitalizations of any size, including small-capitalization and mid-capitalization (or “small-cap” and “mid-cap”) companies. The additional risks posed by small-cap and mid-cap companies could increase the volatility of the Funds’ portfolio and performance. Shareholders should expect that the value of the Funds’ shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in large-cap companies.
Concentration Risk
If the Funds investments are focused in one or more industries or sectors of the economy, such as the financials and information technology sectors, such funds would be less broadly invested across industries or sectors than other funds. This means that concentrated funds tend to be more volatile than other funds, and the values of their investments tend to go up and down more rapidly. In addition, funds that invests in particular sectors is particularly susceptible to the impact of market, economic, political, regulatory, and other conditions and risks affecting those sectors. From time to time, a small number of companies may represent a large portion of a single sector.
Counterparty Risk
The Funds are subject to the risk that a party or participant to a transaction, such as a broker or a derivative counterparty, will be unwilling or unable to satisfy its obligation to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments or to otherwise honor its obligations to the Funds.
Credit Risk
Failure of an issuer of a security to make timely interest or principal payments when due, or a decline or perception of a decline in the credit quality of the security, can cause the security’s price to fall. The lower a security’s credit rating, the greater the chance that the issuer of the security will default or fail to meet its payment obligations.
Debt Securities Risk
Debt securities, including those rated investment grade, are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk is the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a debt security may be unable, or perceived to be unable or unwilling, to pay interest or repay principal when they become due. In these instances, the value of an investment could decline, and the Funds could lose money. Interest rate risk is the possibility that interest rates will change over time. When interest rates rise, the value of debt securities tends to fall. The longer the terms of the debt securities held by the Funds, the more the Funds are subject to this risk.
Depositary Receipt Risk
The Funds may hold the securities of non-U.S. companies in the form of depositary receipts. The underlying securities of the depositary receipts in the Funds’ portfolio are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the value of the Funds’ portfolio. In addition, the value of
| 47 |
Man ETF Series Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
For the period from commencement of operations through February 28, 2026
the securities underlying the depositary receipts may change materially when the U.S. markets are not open for trading. Investments in the underlying foreign securities also involve political and economic risks distinct from those associated with investing in the securities of U.S. issuers.
Derivatives Risk
The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets, and the Funds’ use of derivatives may result in losses to the Funds. Derivatives in which the Funds may invest can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and there is the risk that changes in the value of a derivative held by the Funds will not correlate with the underlying assets or the Funds’ other investments in the manner intended. Non-centrally-cleared over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives or other similar investments are also subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the other party, as many of the protections afforded to centrally-cleared derivative transactions might not be available for non-centrally cleared OTC derivatives or other similar investments. The primary credit risk on derivatives or other similar investments that are exchange-traded or traded through a central trading clearing counterparty resides with the Funds’ clearing broker or the clearinghouse. Changes in regulation relating to a registered fund’s use of derivatives and related instruments could potentially limit or impact the Funds’ ability to invest in derivatives, limit the Funds’ ability to employ certain strategies that use derivatives or other similar investments and/or adversely affect the value of derivatives or other similar investments and the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Funds’ investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:
| • | Futures Contracts Risk- Risks of futures contracts include that, while the value of a futures contract tends to correlate with the value of the underlying asset that it represents, differences between the futures market and the market for the underlying asset may result in an imperfect correlation. Futures contracts may involve risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets. The purchase or sale of a futures contract may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in the futures contract. |
| • | Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Risk- Foreign currency forward contracts are a type of derivative contract whereby the Fund may agree to buy or sell a country’s or region’s currency at a specific price on a specific date in the future. These contracts are subject to the risk of political and economic factors applicable to the countries issuing the underlying currencies and may fall in value due to foreign market downswings or foreign currency value fluctuations. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms and low margin deposits normally required in trading derivatives permit a high degree of leverage. Accordingly, a relatively small price movement may result in an immediate and substantial loss to the Funds. The use of leveraged derivatives can magnify the Funds’ potential gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Funds’ share price. |
| • | Swaps Risk- Depending on their structure, swap agreements and options to enter into swap agreements (“swaptions”), both of which are types of derivatives, may increase or decrease the Funds’ exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, corporate borrowing rates, or credit events or other reference points such as security prices or inflation rates. |
| • | Options Risk- The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of option contracts are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in values option contracts and the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain option contracts. Options on single stocks may be cash- or physically-settled, depending upon the market in which they are traded. |
Distressed and Defaulted Securities Risk
Distressed and defaulted securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in addition to the risks of investing in high yield securities. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment, requiring the Funds to incur additional costs.
Emerging Markets Risk
Emerging market securities typically present even greater exposure to the risks of foreign developed countries and may be particularly sensitive to global economic conditions. Emerging market securities are also typically less liquid than securities of developed countries and could be difficult to sell, particularly during a market downturn. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the largest debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with the terms of such obligations.
Equity Securities Risk
The value of the Funds’ portfolio holdings may fluctuate in response to the risk that the prices of equity securities, including common stock, rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than debt securities.

ETF Risk
Like other ETFs, the Funds, and any ETFs that the Funds invests in, are subject to the following risks:
| • | Authorized Participants Concentration Risk- The Funds have a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants (i.e., large institutions that have entered into agreements with the distributor of the Funds’ shares and are authorized to transact in Creation Units (described below) with the Funds) (“Authorized Participants”). To the extent they exit the business or are otherwise unable to proceed in creation and redemption transactions with the Funds and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, shares of the Funds may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to net asset value (“NAV”) and possibly face trading halts or delisting. This, in turn, could lead to wider spreads between the bid price (i.e., the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares) and the ask price (i.e., the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares) of the Funds. |
| • | Premium/Discount Risk- There may be times when the market price of the Funds’ shares is more than the NAV intra-day (at a premium to NAV) or less than the NAV intra-day (at a discount to NAV). As a result, shareholders of the Funds may pay more than NAV when purchasing shares and receive less than NAV when selling Fund shares. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. In such market conditions, bid-ask spreads (as defined below) may widen and market or stop loss orders to sell Fund shares may be executed at prices well below NAV. |
| • | Secondary Market Trading Risk- Investors buying or selling shares in the secondary market will normally pay brokerage commissions, which are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors buying or selling relatively small amounts of shares. In addition, secondary market investors will incur the cost of the difference between the price that an investor is willing to pay for shares (the bid price) and the price at which an investor is willing to sell shares (the ask price). This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the “spread” or “bid-ask spread.” Secondary market trading is subject to bid-ask spreads and trading in Fund shares may be halted by the Exchange because of market conditions or other reasons. If a trading halt occurs, a shareholder may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell shares of the Funds. In addition, although the Funds’ shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained or that the Funds’ shares will continue to be listed. |
| • | Cash Transactions Risk- The Funds may effect creation and redemptions partly or wholly for cash, but the Funds reserve the right to require creations and redemptions be effected in whole or in part “in-kind.” To the extent creations and redemptions are effected in cash, the Funds may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that does not elect to effect all creations and redemptions principally for cash. To the extent the Funds sell securities to meet some or all of a redemption request with cash, the Funds may incur taxable gains or losses that it might not have incurred had it made redemptions entirely in-kind. As a result, the Funds may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process were used. Additionally, the Funds may incur additional brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities if it utilizes cash as part of a creation or redemption transaction than it would if the Funds had transacted entirely in-kind. |
Fixed-Income Securities Risk
The market value of a fixed-income security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates). An unexpected increase in Fund redemption requests, including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the Funds’ shares, which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, could cause the Funds to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Funds’ share price and increase the Funds’ liquidity risk, fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Central Banks’ policy in response to market conditions, including with respect to interest rates, may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. Policy and legislative changes worldwide are affecting many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets and the practical implications for market participants may not be fully known for some time.
Foreign Currency Risk
Investments in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Foreign currencies, particularly the currencies of emerging market countries, are also subject to risks caused by inflation, interest rates, budget deficits and low savings rates, political factors and government intervention and controls.
Foreign Investment Risk
Investments in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including geopolitical), economic and market risks, and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Funds. There also may be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards, higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
| 49 |
Man ETF Series Trust

For the period from commencement of operations through February 28, 2026
associated with investments in foreign markets. Investing in foreign government obligations, debt obligations of supranational entities and the sovereign debt of foreign countries, including emerging market countries, creates exposure to the direct or indirect consequences of political, social or economic changes in the countries that issue the securities or in which the issuers are located. A governmental obligor may default on its obligations. Some sovereign obligors have been among the world’s largest debtors to commercial banks, other governments, international financial organizations and other financial institutions. These obligors, in the past, have experienced substantial difficulties in servicing their external debt obligations, which led to defaults on certain obligations and the restructuring of certain indebtedness.
Government and Agency Securities Risk
U.S. government and agency securities (such as securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) are subject to market risk, interest rate risk credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or Ginnie Mae, that are backed by the full-faith-and- credit of the United States, are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity, but the market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate.
High Yield Securities Risk
High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as ‘junk bonds”) are considered speculative and have a much greater risk of default or of not returning principal and their values tend to be more volatile than higher-rated securities with similar maturities.
Interest Rate Risk
Prices of fixed-income securities tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect fixed-income securities and, accordingly, will cause the value of the Fund’s investments in these securities to decline. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. When interest rates fall, the Funds’ investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Funds’ income. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from fund performance. The magnitude of these fluctuations in the market price of fixed-income securities is generally greater for securities with longer effective maturities and durations because such instruments do not mature, reset interest rates or become callable for longer periods of time. Unlike investment grade bonds, however, the prices of high yield (“junk”) bonds may fluctuate unpredictably and not necessarily inversely with changes in interest rates.
Large-Cap Company Risk
The Funds may invest in large-capitalization (or “large-cap”) companies. Large-cap companies may have fewer opportunities to expand the market for their products or services, may focus their competitive efforts on maintaining or expanding their market share, and may be less capable of responding quickly to competitive challenges. These factors could result in the share price of large companies not keeping pace with the overall stock market or growth in the general economy, and could have a negative effect on the Funds’ portfolio, performance and share price.
Large Shareholder Risk
A significant percentage of the Funds shares may be owned or controlled by the Adviser and its affiliates, or one or more other large shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are subject to the potential for large-scale inflows and outflows as a result of purchases and redemptions of its shares by such shareholders. These inflows and outflows could negatively affect the Funds’ net asset value and performance.
Leverage Risk
Certain Fund transactions, for example, the Funds’ principal strategy of using derivative instruments in the form of futures contracts, creates leverage. Leverage can result from exposure to an asset, index, rate, or underlying reference instrument. Leverage can increase both the risk and return potential of the Funds. The use of leverage may cause the Funds to maintain liquid assets or liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations. The loss on leveraged investments may substantially exceed the initial investment.
Liquidity Risk
When there is little or no active trading market for specific types of securities, it can become more difficult to sell the securities in a timely manner at or near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such securities and the Funds’ share price may fall dramatically. The market for below investment grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may be harder to value or sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline. Investments in foreign securities, particularly those of issuers located in emerging markets, tend to have greater exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities.
Management Risk
The Funds are actively managed. Investment decisions, techniques, analyses or models implemented by the Funds’ Adviser or Sub-Adviser in seeking to achieve the Funds’ investment objective may not produce expected returns, may cause the Funds’ shares to lose value or may cause the Funds to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives.
Market Risk
The values of, and/or the income generated by, securities held by the Funds may decline due to general market conditions or other factors, including those directly involving the issuers of such securities. Securities markets are volatile and may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, regulatory, political, or economic developments. Different sectors of the market and different security types may react differently to such developments.
| 50 |
Man ETF Series Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
For the period from commencement of operations through February 28, 2026
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value and become less liquid when defaults on the underlying mortgages or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of rising interest rates. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of these securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates than instruments with fixed payment schedules. When interest rates decline or are low, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities can reduce a Funds’ returns.
New Fund Risk
The Funds are new funds, with a limited or no operating history and a small asset base. There can be no assurance that the Funds will grow to or maintain a viable size. Due to the Funds’ small asset base, certain of the Funds’ expenses and its portfolio transaction costs may be higher than those of a fund with a larger asset base. To the extent that the Funds do not grow to or maintain a viable size, they may be liquidated, and the expenses, timing and tax consequences of such liquidation may not be favorable to some shareholders.
Non-Diversification Risk
The Funds are non-diversified, which means that they may invest a greater percentage of its assets than a diversified fund in the securities of a limited number of issuers. The use of a non-diversified investment strategy may increase the volatility of the Funds’ investment performance, as the Funds may be more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory event.
Other Investment Company Risk
Investments in other investment companies (including ETFs and money market funds) are subject to market and selection risk. In addition, if the Funds acquire shares of investment companies, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Funds and, indirectly, the expenses of the investment companies.
Portfolio Turnover Risk
The Funds may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Funds’ holdings. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Funds’ expenses. Frequent trading may also cause adverse tax consequences for investors in the Fund due to an increase in short-term capital gains.
Securitization Risk
The Funds may invest in securitized debt instruments which are bonds that are backed by pools of individual loans. The risks associated with securitized instruments are those associated with the underlying loan assets, including credit and interest rate risk, as well as prepayment and liquidity risks.
Sovereign Debt Risk
Investments in debt instruments issued by sovereign entities may decline in value as a result of default or other adverse credit event resulting from an issuer’s inability or unwillingness to make principal or interest payments in a timely fashion.
Subordinated Debt Risk
The Funds may invest in debt securities that are subordinated to more senior securities of the issuer. Holders of debt securities that are subordinated or ‘junior” to more senior securities are entitled to payment after holders of more senior securities. Subordinated debt securities are more likely to suffer a credit loss than non-subordinated securities of the same issuer, may be disproportionately affected by a default, downgrade or perceived decline in creditworthiness, and may take longer to recover interest or principal.
Subsidiary Risk
By investing in the Subsidiary, the Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The futures contracts and other investments held by the Subsidiary are subject to the same economic risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to continue to operate as it does currently and could adversely affect the Fund. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns. In addition, the Subsidiary is also subject to many of the risks to which the Fund is subject.
Synthetic Short Exposure Risk
The Funds may gain synthetic short exposure through a forward commitment through a swap agreement. Synthetic short exposures involve the risk that losses may be exaggerated, potentially losing more money than the actual cost of the investment.
Tax Risk
In order to qualify for the favorable tax treatment available to regulated investment companies, the Funds must satisfy certain income, asset diversification and distribution requirements each year. If the Funds were to fail the favorable tax treatment requirements, they would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation, which would adversely affect its performance. The tax treatment of derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect whether income from such investments is “qualifying income” under Subchapter M of the Code, or otherwise affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Funds’ taxable income or gains and distributions.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
For the period from commencement of operations through February 28, 2026
Variable and Floating Rate Instrument Risk
During periods of rising interest rates, because changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, the value of such securities may decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities.
10. Capital Share Transactions
Shares of the Man Active High Yield ETF and the Man Active Income ETF are listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. exchange and shares of the Man Active Emerging Markets Alternative ETF and the Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF are listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”). These exchanges are national securities exchanges and trades occur in the secondary market, where most investors may buy and sell them at market prices that change throughout the day. Such market prices may be lower, higher or equal to net asset value (“NAV”). Accordingly, when transacting in the secondary market, investors may pay more than NAV when purchasing shares and receive less than NAV when selling shares. They may also be subject to brokerage commissions and charges. The Funds issue and redeem shares at NAV only in aggregations of a specified number of shares (“Creation Units”), generally in exchange for a basket of securities (“Basket”), together with a specified cash payment or, in certain circumstances, for an all cash payment. Unlike mutual funds, shares are not individually redeemable.
A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee may be imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units. The Funds may adjust the creation transaction fee from time to time. In addition, a variable fee may be imposed for cash purchases, non-standard orders, or partial cash purchases of Creation Units. The variable fee is primarily designed to cover non-standard charges, e.g., brokerage, taxes, foreign exchange, execution, market impact, and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction. The Funds may determine not to charge a variable fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that doing so is in the best interests of Fund shareholders. Investors who use the services of an Authorized Participant, broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services which may include an amount for the creation transaction fee and non-standard charges. Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the deposit securities to the account of the Trust. The Adviser may retain all or a portion of the transaction fee to the extent the Adviser bears the expenses that otherwise would be borne by the Trust in connection with the issuance of a Creation Unit, which the transaction fee is designed to cover.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement for
Man Active High Yield ETF
Man Active Income ETF
At a meeting held on September 4, 2025, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Man ETF Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is comprised solely of trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Trustees”), approved the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Man Solutions LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust for Man Active High Yield ETF and Man Active Income ETF (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and the Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund between the Adviser and GLG Partners LP (the “Sub-Adviser”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”).
Advisory Agreement
The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to each Fund, (ii) the proposed unitary advisory fee for each Fund and comparisons to amounts paid by other comparable registered investment companies, (iii) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether the fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, and (iv) any further benefits to be realized by the Adviser or its affiliates from the Adviser’s relationship with each Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser for each Fund, including the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees considered information regarding each Fund’s investment objective, strategies and process. The Trustees noted other information the Board received and considered describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Man Group plc. The Trustees reviewed information related to the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures. Because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees noted that no performance information for the Funds could be provided.
The Trustees considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ distributor, administrator, custodian, transfer agent and the Sub-Adviser. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that was expected to be provided for each Fund.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement were expected to be satisfactory.
Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee, as compared to Adviser-identified select peer funds. The Trustees noted that the proposed annual advisory fee to be charged to each Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other operating expenses of each Fund, including the fees payable to the Sub-Adviser, except for acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, trading fees, taxes and non-routine or extraordinary expenses. The Trustees noted each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee as compared to the select peer group as shown below:
| Fund |
Unitary Fee | Select Peer Group | ||
| Man Active High Yield ETF |
0.69% | Lower than 2 of 3 peers | ||
| Man Active Income ETF |
0.85% | Lower than 1 of 3 peers |
Based on all of the information provided, the Board concluded that each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services to be provided, the distinguishing factors of the Fund, and the administrative, operational and management oversight services to be provided by the Adviser and the related costs in providing such services.
In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fees, the Trustees also considered the sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Adviser for each Fund. Because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, the Adviser provided projected profitability for each Fund at various asset levels.
Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with
| 54 |
Man ETF Series Trust
Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Continued)
the management of each Fund would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary advisory fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for each Fund. The Trustees also noted that it is not anticipated that either Fund will generate significant profit for the Adviser and/or its affiliates for some time.
Fall-out Benefits. The Trustees considered that the Adviser identified no additional benefits that it will receive from its relationship with the Funds, and noted that the Adviser will not be a party to any soft-dollar, commission recapture or directed brokerage arrangements with respect to the Funds.
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined to approve the Advisory Agreement for each Fund for an initial two-year period. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.
Sub-Advisory Agreements
As noted above, the Board approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund at a meeting held on September 4, 2025. The review process followed by the Board is described in detail above. In connection with the review of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the factors described below, among others.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to each Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the qualifications and background of the Sub-Adviser, the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser, the investment approach of the Sub-Adviser whose investment personnel will manage the Funds, and the investment personnel who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund. The Board considered additional information it received regarding each Fund’s investment strategy at the Board’s September 4, 2025 meeting, as well as performance information for other fixed income accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser relative to each Fund’s proposed benchmark index and the Adviser-identified select peer funds.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser to each Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement were expected to be satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser on the sub-advisory fee rates under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees considered how the sub-advisory fees relate to the overall advisory fee for each Fund and noted that the Adviser will compensate the Sub-Adviser from its fee. The Board further considered whether the sub-advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the proposed services and product strategy of the Fund, and they concluded that the sub-advisory fee rates were reasonable.
Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders. The Trustees noted that it is not anticipated that either Fund will generate significant profit for the Adviser and/or its affiliates for some time.
Fall-out Benefits. The Trustees considered that the Sub-Adviser identified no additional benefits that it will receive from its relationship with the Funds, and noted that the Sub-Adviser will not be a party to any soft-dollar, commission recapture or directed brokerage arrangements with respect to the Funds.

The Board considered additional information it received regarding each Fund’s investment strategy at the Board’s December 4, 2025 meeting as provided by the portfolio managers for the Fund. For the Man Active Emerging Markets Alternative ETF, the Board noted that Numeric does not manage an existing investment strategy substantially similar to the Fund so considered performance of peer groups that the Sub-Adviser believes are most representative of the Fund’s investment strategy. For the Man Active Trend Enhanced ETF, the Board considered performance information for trend following accounts managed by AHL relative to the Barclays BTOP50 Index and the Adviser-identified select peer funds.
