Investment Goal

The Fund’s investment objective is current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Average Annual Total Returns — June 30, 2019³



							Inception 12/27/17			Expense Ratio⁴
	6 Months			1 Year			Life of Fund			Gross			Net
NAV¹		3.80	%		4.98	%		3.22	%		1.09	%		0.38	%
Market¹		3.84			4.90			3.24

Comparative Performance
Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index²		2.71			4.27			2.89

Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of, and not necessarily indicative of, future results. Total return and value will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For most recent month-end performance, visit im.natixis.com. You may not invest directly in an index. Performance for periods less than one year is cumulative, not annualized. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. The table(s) do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem or sell their shares.

The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund, and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund, which is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade on the secondary market until December 28, 2017, NAV is used as a proxy for the market price prior to that date. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at market price and NAV, respectively.

The Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged index which is a component of the US Government/Credit Bond Index, which includes Treasury and agency securities (US Government Bond Index) and publicly issued US corporate and foreign debentures and secured notes (US Credit Bond Index). The bonds in the index are investment grade with a maturity between one and three years.

3	Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower.

Expense ratios are as shown in the Fund’s prospectus in effect as of the date of this report. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report under Ratios to Average Net Assets. Net expenses reflect contractual expense limitations set to expire on 4/30/21. When a Fund’s expenses are below the limitation, gross and net expense ratios will be the same. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information about the Fund’s expense limitations.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include creation and redemption fees and brokerage charges, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. These ongoing costs are described in more detail in the Fund’s prospectus. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The first line in the table shows the actual account values and actual Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios 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 on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.


NATIXIS LOOMIS SAYLES SHORT DURATION INCOME ETF	BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 1/1/2019		ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/2019		EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 1/1/2019 – 6/30/2019

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000.00		$1,022.91		$1.91

The chart above represents historical performance of a hypothetical investment of $1,000 in the fund for the most recent six-month period. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

*	Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (after waiver/reimbursement) of 0.38%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (181), divided by 365 (to reflect the half-year period).

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement and, with respect to Natixis Loomis Sayles Short Duration Income ETF, sub-advisory agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreements to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements, typically for an additional one-year period. After the Contract Review Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements.

In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Funds’ investment advisers and sub-adviser, as applicable (collectively, the “Advisers”), believe to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreements. These materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of the Funds and the performance of peer groups of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory fees and sub-advisory fees, if any, and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ advisory fees and sub-advisory fees, if any, to the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Advisers, if any, and to those of peer groups of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and/or fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales, redemption and trading data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to the Advisers and (v) information obtained through the completion by the Advisers of a questionnaire distributed on behalf of the Trustees. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considers other matters such as (i) each Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Advisers’ respective investment staffs and their use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (ii) arrangements in respect of the distribution and trading of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (iii) the allocation of the Funds’ brokerage, if any, including, if applicable, allocations to brokers affiliated with the Advisers and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research and other similar services, (iv) each Adviser’s policies and procedures relating to, among other things, compliance, trading and best execution, proxy voting and valuation, (v) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (vi) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees are afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Advisers.

In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their annual consideration of the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees receive materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting of the Board that provide detailed information about the Funds’ investment performance and the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for each Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, total return information for various periods, and third-party performance rankings for various periods comparing a

| 6

Fund against similarly categorized funds. The portfolio management team for each Fund or other representatives of the Advisers make periodic presentations to the Contract Review Committee and/or the full Board, and if a Fund is identified as presenting possible performance concerns it may be subject to more frequent Board or Committee presentations and reviews. In addition, each quarter, the Trustees are provided with detailed statistical information about each Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings.

The Board most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements for a one-year period at its meeting held in June 2019. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisers and their affiliates to the Funds, which include advisory and non-advisory services directed to the needs and operations of each of the Funds as an ETF. The Trustees also considered the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Advisers and their affiliates. The Trustees noted that although the Funds are relatively new, the Advisers had extensive experience managing other types of funds and had made significant investments in the resources appropriate for the management of ETFs. The Trustees also considered their experience with other funds advised or sub-advised by the Advisers, as well as the affiliation between the Advisers and Natixis Investment Managers, L.P., whose affiliates provide investment advisory services to other funds in the Natixis family of mutual funds.

The Trustees considered not only the advisory and sub-advisory services provided by the Advisers to the Funds, but also the monitoring and oversight services provided by Natixis Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”). They also considered the administrative and shareholder services provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Investment performance of the Funds and the Advisers. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Funds over various time periods, including information that compared the performance of the Funds to the performance of peer groups and categories of funds and the Funds’ respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees reviewed data prepared by an independent third party that analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.

The Board noted that, through December 31, 2018, each Fund’s one-year net asset value performance, stated as percentile rankings within categories selected by the independent

7 |

third-party data provider, was as follows (where the best performance would be in the first percentile of its category):

One-Year

Three-Year

Five-Year

Natixis Loomis Sayles Short Duration Income ETF

N/A

Natixis Seeyond International Minimum Volatility ETF

N/A

In the case of a Fund that had performance that lagged that of a relevant category median as determined by the independent third-party, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreements, including: (1) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Adviser that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies; and (2) the Fund’s more recent performance has been stronger relative to its category.

The Trustees also considered each Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally, and the historical responsiveness of the Advisers to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Advisers to take steps intended to improve performance.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the performance of the Funds and the Advisers and/or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreements.

The costs of the services provided and the profits realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their respective relationships with the Funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Funds for advisory, sub-advisory and administrative services, as applicable, as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided by an independent third party) of the Funds’ advisory fees and total expense levels to those of its category groups. In evaluating each Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees, as applicable, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the Funds, including the additional responsibilities of the Advisers in overseeing an ETF, and the need for the Advisers to offer competitive compensation and the potential need to expend additional resources to the extent the Funds grow in size. The Trustees also considered that over the past several years, management had made recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps for various funds in the fund family. They noted that the Funds have expense caps in place and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Advisers for the Funds under their caps. The Trustees also noted that the Funds had total advisory fee rates that were at or below the medians of their respective peer groups of funds.

The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Advisers’ and their affiliates’ relationships with the Funds, and information about the allocation of expenses used to calculate profitability. They also reviewed information provided by management about the effect of distribution costs and changes in asset levels on Adviser profitability,

| 8

including information regarding resources spent on distribution activities. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered information about court cases in which adviser compensation or profitability were issues, the performance of the Funds, the expense levels of the Funds, whether the Advisers had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to the Funds and the overall profit margin of Natixis Investment Managers compared to that of certain other investment managers for which such data was available.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory and sub-advisory fees charged to each of the Funds were fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and the related profitability of the Advisers and their affiliates in respect of their relationships with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision of services by the Advisers and whether those economies are shared with the Funds through breakpoints in their investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense caps. The Trustees also considered management’s explanation of the factors that are taken into account with respect to the implementation of breakpoints in investment advisory fees or expense caps. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that although the Funds’ management fees were not subject to breakpoints, the Funds were subject to expense caps. In considering these issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and on a relative basis) and the profitability to the Advisers and their affiliates of their relationships with the Funds, as discussed above. The Trustees also considered that the Funds have benefitted from the substantial reinvestment each Adviser has made into its business.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.

The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

The effect of recent market and economic events on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund.

Whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the Advisers. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Advisers and their affiliates were providing to the Funds.

So-called “fallout benefits” to the Advisers, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Advisers to provide distribution, administrative and brokerage services to the Funds, the ability to offer ETFs in the Natixis family of funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Advisers by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Funds’ securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the benefits to the parent company of Natixis Advisors from the retention of the Advisers. The Trustees considered the possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest.

9 |

The Trustees’ review and discussion of the Funds’ advisory arrangements in prior years, and management’s record of responding to Trustee concerns raised during the year and in prior years.

Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that each of the existing Agreements should be continued through June 30, 2020.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

1. Organization. Natixis ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of the Funds. Shares of the Funds are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE Arca”) and traded on other exchanges. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

Natixis Loomis Sayles Short Duration Income ETF (the “Short Duration Income ETF”)

Natixis Seeyond International Minimum Volatility ETF (the “International Minimum Volatility ETF”)

Each Fund is a diversified investment company.

The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis through ALPS Distributors, Inc. (“ALPS”). Each Fund may pay ALPS, an unaffiliated distributor, fees under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”). Currently, no Rule 12b-1 fees are charged. Future payments may be made under the 12b-1 Plan without further shareholder approval.

Most expenses can be directly attributed to a Fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV and Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”) and Natixis ETF Trust.

2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

a. Valuation. Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser or sub-adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser or

sub-adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by a Fund.

b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax, if applicable, is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of

premium, if applicable. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis.

c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars based upon the World Market or “WM11” foreign exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.

The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities.

The Funds may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

d. Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular instrument or index for a specified price on a specified future date.

When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities as “initial margin.” As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of cash or securities on deposit with the broker. The

35 |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses). Realized gain or loss on a futures position is 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, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.

Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced; however, in the event that a counterparty enters into bankruptcy, a Fund’s claim against initial/variation margin on deposit with the counterparty may be subject to terms of a final settlement in bankruptcy court.

e. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of June 30, 2019 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax return for the prior fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

A Fund may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of

| 36

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

f. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as foreign currency gains and losses, distribution redesignations, taxable over-distribution, partnership basis adjustments, paydown gains and losses, premium amortization and passive foreign investment company adjustments. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, futures contract mark-to-market, passive foreign investment company adjustments, premium amortization and wash sales. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. Distributions from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains are reported as distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2018 was as follows:


	2018 Distributions Paid From:
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total
Short Duration Income ETF	$	620,940	$	—	$	620,940
International Minimum Volatility ETF		514,660		643,280		1,157,940

Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are consolidated and reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains expressed in per-share amounts, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are separately stated and reported within the Financial Highlights.

As of December 31, 2018, capital loss carryforwards and late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals were as follows:


	Short Duration Income ETF			International Minimum Volatility ETF
Capital loss carryforward:
Short-term:
No expiration date	$	(121,973	)	$	—
Long-term:
No expiration date		(20,556	)		—

Total capital loss carryforward		(142,529	)		—

Late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals*	$	—		$	(335,603	)

Under current tax law, capital losses, foreign currency losses, and losses on passive foreign investment companies and contingent payment debt instruments after October 31 or December 31, as applicable, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following taxable year. As of December 31, 2018, International Minimum Volatility ETF is deferring capital losses.

As of June 30, 2019, the tax cost of investments (including derivatives, if applicable) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a federal tax basis were as follows:


	Short Duration Income ETF			International Minimum Volatility ETF
Federal tax cost	$	26,944,528		$	24,062,619

Gross tax appreciation	$	412,961		$	2,542,082
Gross tax depreciation		(90,071	)		(714,961	)

Net tax appreciation	$	322,890		$	1,827,121

Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales and derivatives mark-to-market.

g. Repurchase Agreement. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon

| 38

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of June 30, 2019, the Funds did not hold any repurchase agreements.

h. Due from Brokers. Transactions and positions in certain futures contracts are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between a Fund and the various broker/dealers. The due from brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Short Duration Income ETF represents cash pledged as initial margin for futures contracts. In certain circumstances a Fund’s use of cash and/or securities held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.

i. Indemnifications. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

•

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

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

4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that Short Duration Income ETF used during the period include futures contracts.

The Fund is subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Fund’s investments in fixed-income securities. The Fund will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that it invests in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with

| 40

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

shorter maturities or durations. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates and to manage duration without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Short Duration Income ETF used futures contracts to manage duration.

The following is a summary of derivative instruments for Short Duration Income ETF as of June 30, 2019, as reflected within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:


Assets	Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts¹
Exchange-traded asset derivatives
Interest rate contracts	$	33,931


Liabilities	Unrealized depreciation on futures contracts¹
Exchange-traded liability derivatives
Interest rate contracts	$	(53,137	)

¹	Represents cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts. Only the current day’s variation margin on futures contracts is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable or payable for variation margin, as applicable.

Transactions in derivative instruments for Short Duration Income ETF during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as reflected within the Statements of Operations, were as follows:

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on:

Futures

contracts

Interest rate contracts

(62,588

)

Net Change in Unrealized
Appreciation (Depreciation) on:

Futures

contracts

Interest rate contracts

5,868

As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.

The volume of futures contract activity, as a percentage of net assets, based on gross month-end notional amounts outstanding during the period, including long and short positions at absolute value, was as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2019:


Short Duration Income ETF	Futures
Average Notional Amount Outstanding		33.53%
Highest Notional Amount Outstanding		36.17%
Lowest Notional Amount Outstanding		30.76%
Notional Amount Outstanding as of June 30, 2019		36.13%

Notional amounts outstanding at the end of the prior period, if applicable, are included in the averages above.

Unrealized gain and/or loss on open futures contracts is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The aggregate notional values of futures contracts are not recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and therefore are not included in the Funds’ net assets.

Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by each Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. With exchange-traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearing house, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. Based on balances reflected on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following table shows the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the applicable Fund would incur if parties to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund:

Loomis Sayles is a limited partnership whose sole general partner, Loomis, Sayles & Company, Inc., is indirectly owned by Natixis.

Under the terms of the subadvisory agreement, the Fund has agreed to pay Loomis Sayles a subadvisory fee at the annual rate of 0.15%, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Payments to Natixis Advisors are reduced by the amount of payments to Loomis Sayles.

Prior to March 29, 2019, Ostrum US, a subsidiary of Ostrum Asset Management, served as subadvisor to International Minimum Volatility Fund. Under the terms of the subadvisory agreement, the Fund paid Ostrum US a subadvisory fee at the annual rate of 0.30%, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Natixis Advisors has given a binding undertaking to the Funds to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Funds’ operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, organizational and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect until April 30, 2021, may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, and is reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings. Waivers/reimbursements that exceed management fees payable are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable from investment adviser.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreements were as follows:


Fund	Expense Limit as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Short Duration Income ETF		0.38	%

c. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distribution, Natixis or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $360,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that he attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $190,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $20,000. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in

| 46

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and The Trust as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Certain officers and employees of Natixis Advisors and Loomis Sayles are also officers and/or Trustees of the Trust.

d. Affiliated Ownership. As of June 30, 2019, Natixis held shares of the Short Duration Income ETF and International Minimum Volatility ETF representing 75.45% and 46.90%, respectively, of the Funds’ net assets. Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds.

7. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, entered into a $400,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and certain other legal fees in connection with the line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected as legal fees and/or miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, neither Fund had borrowings under this agreement.

8. Due from Custodian Bank. Represents reimbursement due from the custodian bank to International Minimum Volatility ETF of $13,134, related to a prior year expense overbilling.

9. Payable to Custodian Bank. The Funds’ custodian bank provides overdraft protection to the Funds in the event of a cash shortfall. Cash overdrafts bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 2.00%. At June 30, 2019, the International Minimum Volatility ETF had foreign currency payables, at value, of $11,924 to the custodian bank for foreign currency overdrafts.

10. Risk. The Funds have exposure to certain types of risk as summarized below.

a. Authorized Participant Concentration Risk. Only an authorized participant (“Authorized Participant”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Funds. The Funds have a limited number of institutions that act as Authorized Participants, none of which are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Funds and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, Fund shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

b. Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit and information risks. The Funds’ investments in foreign securities also are subject to foreign currency fluctuations and other foreign currency-related risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Foreign securities held by the Funds may trade on foreign exchanges that are closed when the securities exchange on which the Funds’ shares trade is open, which may result in deviations between the current price of a foreign security and the last quoted price for that security (i.e., the Funds’ quote from the closed foreign market). This could result in premiums or discounts to NAV that may be greater than those experienced by other ETFs.

c. Premium/Discount Risk. Shares of the Funds are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices that may differ from their most recent NAV. The market value of the Funds’ shares will fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in the Funds’ NAV, the intraday value of the Funds’ holdings, and the relative supply and demand for the Funds’ shares on the exchange. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for shares may result in shares trading at a significant premium or discount to NAV and/or in a reduced liquidity of your investment. If a shareholder purchases shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses.

d. Secondary Market Trading Risk. Investors buying or selling shares of the Funds in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by broker-dealers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of shares.

e. Trading Issues Risk. Trading in shares on the NYSE Arca may be halted in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the NYSE Arca necessary to maintain the listing of the Funds will continue to be met.

11. Capital Shares. Shares of the Funds may be acquired or redeemed directly from the Funds by Authorized Participants only in aggregations of 100,000 shares for Short Duration Income ETF and 50,000 shares for International Minimum Volatility ETF (“Creation Units”), or multiples thereof. Each Authorized Participant enters into an Authorized Participant agreement with the Funds’ Distributor.

A creation transaction order, which is subject to acceptance by ALPS, generally takes place when an Authorized Participant deposits into the Funds a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash approximating the holdings of the Funds in exchange for a specified number of Creation Units.

Similarly, shares can be redeemed only in Creation Units, generally for a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) held by the Funds and a specified amount of cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable directly with the Funds.

The prices at which creations and redemptions occur are based on the next calculation of NAV after a creation or redemption order is received in an acceptable form under the Authorized Participant agreement. These prices may differ from the market price of the Fund’s shares.

The Funds may impose a creation transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Transaction fees are included in capital share transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Transactions in capital shares were as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30, 2019			Year Ended December 31, 2018
Short Duration Income ETF	Shares		Amount	Shares		Amount
Issued from the sale of shares	—	$	—	300,000	$	7,452,078

Other Information

Premium/Discount Analysis (Unaudited)

Fund shares are bought and sold on the secondary market at current market prices. Premium/discount represents the difference between the market price (midpoint between the highest bid and lowest offer on the primary listing exchange) and net asset value (“NAV”) of Fund shares determined as of the close of the NYSE.

Premium/discount will fluctuate regularly based on the supply of, and demand for, shares of the Fund. Shareholders may pay more than NAV when they buy Fund shares and receive less than NAV when they sell shares.

The following information presents the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for the Funds, as stated in trading days. Trading days are presented by year, starting with the date the Fund began trading on the secondary market. Premium/discount ranges with no trading days are omitted.

The frequency distribution of premiums and discounts, for the International Minimum Volatility ETF, for the period from October 27, 2016 through June 30, 2019 is as follows:
