Market Commentary

 

U.S. equity markets experienced the quickest 30% drawdown in their history and have roared back with unprecedented levels of fiscal stimulus. When or how the economy will reopen is unclear. What is clear is that many industries will struggle for quite some time and could need continued government assistance in the coming 18 months. The other major trend will be the adoption of new ways of doing business caused from the Work From Home (“WFH”) phenomenon we are experiencing during the Covid-19 quarantine. Market dislocations always cause new adoptions of technology and processes. That, coupled with our need to work remotely, could push growth rates on the gig economy to all-time highs.

 

The information presented in this report relates to the since inception performance ended February 29, 2020.

 

The SoFi Select 500 ETF

 

The SoFi Select 500 ETF (“SFY”) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive SoFi US 500 Growth Index (the “Index”).

 

Index Description:

 

In summary, the Index is rebalanced and reconstituted annually. The process begins with the selection of the 500 largest constituents by market capitalization of the Solactive US Broad Market Index, which generally includes equity securities of approximately 3,000 of the largest U.S. companies. The weight of each Index constituent is initially based on each constituent’s free-float market capitalization and then adjusted upward or downward based on a proprietary composite score based on three growth-oriented factors:

 

 

1)

trailing 12-month sales growth,

 

2)

trailing 12-month earnings per share (“EPS”) growth, and

 

3)

12-month forward-looking EPS growth consensus estimates.

 

The Index’s construction does not target any specific sector or industry; however, due to market conditions and certain other factors, a particular sector may be relatively overweight or underweight for periods of time.

 

Fund Description:

 

SFY seeks to track the performance of the Index, which is composed of 500 of the largest publicly traded U.S. companies weighted based on a proprietary mix of their market capitalization and fundamental factors.

 

Performance Overview:

 

Since inception (April 10, 2019), SFY generated a total return of 4.95% (NAV) and 5.00% (Market). This compares to the 4.92% total return of its Index, and the 4.08% total return of the benchmark, the S&P 500® Total Return Index, for the same period.

 

From a sector perspective, based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, Technology, Communications, and Consumer (Non-Cyclical) were the leading contributors, while Energy, Basic Materials, and Industrials were the leading detractors.

 

Reviewing individual stocks based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, leading contributors included Microsoft Corp., Apple, Inc., and Tesla, Inc. Conversely, the leading detractors included Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., and Cisco Systems, Inc.

 

The SoFi Next 500 ETF

 

The SoFi Next 500 ETF (“SFYX”) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive SoFi US Next 500 Growth Index (the “Index”).

 

Index Description:

 

In summary, the Index is rebalanced and reconstituted annually, beginning with the selection of the next 500 largest constituents after excluding the largest 500 constitutents by market capitalization of the Solactive US Broad Market Index, which as described above, generally includes equity securities of approximately 3,000 of the largest U.S. companies. The weight of each Index constituent is initially based on each constituent’s free-float market capitalization and then adjusted upward or downward based on a proprietary composite score based on three growth-oriented factors:

 

 

1)

trailing 12-month sales growth,

 

2)

trailing 12-month EPS growth, and

 

3)

12-month forward-looking EPS growth consensus estimates.

Fund Description:

 

SFYX seeks to track the performance of the Index, which is composed of the 500 smallest of the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies weighted based on a proprietary mix of their market capitalization and fundamental factors.

 

Performance Overview:

 

Since inception (April 10, 2019), SFYX generated a total return of -2.84% (NAV) and -3.17% (Market). This compares to the -2.79% total return of its Index, and the -5.32% total return of the benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400® Total Return Index, for the same period.

 

From a sector perspective, based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, Technology, Communications, and Consumer (Non-Cyclical) were the leading contributors, while Energy, Consumer (Cyclical), and Basic Materials were the leading detractors.

 

Reviewing individual stocks based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, leading contributors included Dexcom, Inc., RingCentral Inc., and DocuSign, Inc. Conversely, the leading detractors included Bluebird Bio, Inc., PDC Energy, Inc., and EQT Corp.

 

The SoFi 50 ETF

 

The SoFi 50 ETF (“SFYF”) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive SoFi US 50 Growth Index (“Index”).

 

Index Description:

 

In summary, the Solactive SoFi US 50 Growth Index is rebalanced and reconstituted semi-annually. The construction of the Index begins with the 1,000 largest constituents of the Solactive US Broad Market Index (the “Eligible Universe”), a market-capitalization weighted index that includes equity securities of approximately 3,000 of the largest U.S. companies. A proprietary composite score is then calculated for each company in the Eligible Universe based on three growth-oriented factors:

 

 

1)

trailing 12-month sales growth,

 

2)

trailing 12-month EPS growth, and

 

3)

12-month forward-looking EPS growth consensus estimates.

 

Subject to constraints that are applied at the time of Index rebalance aimed at limiting Index turnover, the 50 highest scoring companies are included in the Index and equally weighted. The Index’s construction does not target any specific sector or industry; however, due to market conditions and certain other factors, a particular sector may be relatively overweight or underweight for periods of time.

 

Fund Description:

 

SFYF seeks to track the performance of the Index, which is composed of an equal-weighted portfolio of 50 of the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies. Index consituents are selected based on a proprietary composite score calculated based on certain fundamental factors.

 

Performance Overview:

 

Since inception (May 7, 2019), SFYF generated a total return of -5.67% (NAV) and -6.25% (Market). This compares to the -5.43% total return of its Index, and the 4.16% total return of the benchmark, the S&P 500® Total Return Index, for the same period.

 

From a sector perspective, based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, Industrials, Communications, and Financials were the leading contributors, while Energy, Basic Materials, and Consumer (Non-Cyclical) were the leading detractors.

 

Reviewing individual stocks based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, leading contributors included Syneos Health, ServiceNow, Inc., and Teladoc Health, Inc. Conversely, the leading detractors included DXC Technology Co., Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, Inc., and Halliburton Co.

The SoFi Gig Economy ETF

 

The SoFi Gig Economy ETF (“GIGE”) is an actively-managed ETF that seeks to achieve its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation primarily by investing in a portfolio of companies listed around the world that GIGE’s investment adviser, Toroso Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”), considers part of the “gig economy”.

 

Fund Description:

 

The “gig economy” refers to the group of companies that have embraced, that support, or that otherwise benefit from a workforce where individual employees or independent contractors are empowered to create their own freelance business by leveraging recent developments in technology platforms that enable individuals to offer their services directly to retail and commercial customers. Examples of gig economy businesses include selling or reselling products through auction platforms or web-based stores and offering delivery services through an app-based platform.

 

The investment management team behind the strategy seeks investments in underlying companies that:

 

 

drive the overall gig economy universe,

 

transform the way our economy transacts goods and services,

 

modify how work gets done, and

 

embraces the work from home economy.

 

These companies are broken up into the following categories: seeking direct participants, direct & indirect supportive gig economy businesses, companies that help facilitate processes within the gig economy, and any other ancillary benefiting companies because of the gig economy. These companies are put into a multi-tiered process based on their growth prospects within the gig economy and managed to allow for necessary concentration to generate alpha but not overconcentration which may cause significant volatility. The team actively rebalances the portfolio frequently, as the “gig economy” is such a new industry classification. GIGE can experience large individual position volatility and new issuances can occur frequently.

 

Performance Overview:

 

Since inception (May 7, 2019), GIGE generated a total return of -7.22% (NAV) and -8.83% (Market). This compares to the 4.16% total return of the benchmark, the S&P 500® Total Return Index, for the same period.

 

From a sector perspective, based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, Technology and Consumer (Cyclical) were the largest contributors. While Industrials, Communications and Financials detracted the most.

 

Reviewing individual stocks based on performance attribution to the overall portfolio, leading contributors included Pinduoduo, Inc., Fiverr International Ltd., and JD.com, Inc. Conversely, the leading detractors included Jumia Technologies AG, UpWork, Inc., and Stratasys Ltd.

 

 

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

 

Before investing you should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the Funds’ prospectus. A prospectus may be obtained by visiting www.sofi.com/invest/etfs. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

 

Investors buy and sell ETF shares through a brokerage account or an investment advisor. Like ordinary stocks, brokerage commissions, and/or transaction costs or services fees may apply. Please consult your broker or financial advisor for their fee schedule.

 

There is no guarantee that a Fund’s investment strategy will be successful. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market, and a Fund’s holdings and returns may deviate from those of its index. These variations may be greater when markets are volatile or subject to unusual conditions. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase a Fund’s expenses. The Funds are new and have a limited operating history. You can lose money on your investment in a Fund. Diversification does not ensure profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks such as social and political instability, market illiquidity, exchange-rate fluctuations, a high level of volatility and limited regulation. Investing in emerging markets involves different and greater risks, as these countries are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than securities markets in more developed markets. Because the SoFi Gig Economy ETF may invest in a single sector, country or industry, its shares do not represent a complete investment program. As a non-diversified fund, the value of the SoFi Gig Economy ETF’s shares may fluctuate more than shares invested in a broader range of industries and companies because of concentration in a specific sector, country or industry.

Notes to Financial Statements February 29, 2020

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

The SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, and SoFi 50 ETF are diversified series of shares and the SoFi Gig Economy ETF is a non-diversified series of shares (each a “Fund”, and collectively the “Funds”) of beneficial interest of Tidal ETF Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 4, 2018 and is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of each Fund’s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services—Investment Companies.” The SoFi Select 500 ETF and SoFi Next 500 ETF commenced operations on April 10, 2019 and the SoFi 50 ETF and SoFi Gig Economy ETF commenced operations on May 7, 2019.

 

The investment objective of the SoFi Select 500 ETF is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive SoFi US 500 Growth Index. The investment objective of the SoFi Next 500 ETF is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive SoFi US Next 500 Growth Index. The investment objective of the SoFi 50 ETF is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive SoFi US 50 Growth Index. The investment objective of the SoFi Gig Economy ETF is long-term capital appreciation, which it seeks by investing in a portfolio of companies listed around the world that Toroso Investments, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), considers part of the “gig economy”.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

A.

Security Valuation. Equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Business Development Companies (“BDCs”), and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), listed on a securities exchange, 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 at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices for long and short positions. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from recognized independent pricing agents (“Independent Pricing Agents”) each day that the Funds are open for business.

 

For securities which quotations are not readily available, a fair value will be determined by the Valuation Committee using the Fair Value Procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Fair Value Procedures adopted by the Board. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

 

As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

 

 

Level 1 –

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

 

 

Level 2 –

Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar 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 Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and would be based on the best information available.

 

 

37

 

 

SoFi Funds

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 29, 2020 (Continued)

 

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 following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of February 29, 2020:

(1)

All Level 1 investments are equity securities (common stocks) and short-term investments.

 

 

B.

Federal Income Taxes. The Funds have elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intend to distribute substantially all taxable income to their shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes have been made.

 

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, the Funds intend to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of their net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of their net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.

 

As of February 29, 2020, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Delaware; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.

 

 

C.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends received from REITs generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains, and may include return of capital. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 

 

D.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the Funds are declared and paid at least semi-annually. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities for the Funds normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

 

E.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

F.

Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for trading.

SoFi Funds

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 29, 2020 (Continued)

 

 

G.

Guarantees and Indemnifications. 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 expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

 

H.

Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Funds’ portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Funds invest. Common stocks, such as those held by the Funds, are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

 

 

I.

Foreign Securities Risk (SoFi Gig Economy ETF Only). Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve certain risks not involved in domestic investments and may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than investments in securities of U.S. companies. Financial markets in foreign countries often are not as developed, efficient or liquid as financial markets in the United States, and therefore, the prices of non-U.S. securities can be more volatile. In addition, the Fund will be subject to risks associated with adverse political and economic developments in foreign countries, which may include the imposition of economic sanctions. Generally, there is less readily available and reliable information about non-U.S. issuers due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards and regulatory practices.

 

 

J.

Emerging Markets Risk (SoFi Gig Economy ETF Only). The Fund may invest in securities issued by companies domiciled or headquartered in emerging market nations. Investments in securities traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to such securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, currency, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and investments in more developed international markets. Such conditions may impact the ability of the Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities, adversely affect the trading market and price for the Fund’s Shares and cause the Fund to decline in value.

 

 

K.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk (SoFi Gig Economy ETF Only). The Fund’s assets may include exposure to investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies or in securities or other assets that provide exposure to such currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value of the Fund’s investments and the value of your Fund’s shares. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money.

 

 

L.

Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) Investment Risk (SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF and SoFi 50 ETF Only). Investments in REITs involve unique risks. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, and may be more volatile than other securities. The risks of investing in REITs include certain risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and the real estate industry in general. Securities in the real estate sector are subject to the risk that the value of their underlying real estate may go down. Many factors may affect real estate values, including the general and local economies, the amount of new construction in a particular area, the laws and regulations (including zoning and tax laws) affecting real estate, and the costs of owning, maintaining and improving real estate. The availability of mortgages and changes in interest rates may also affect real estate values. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, and self-liquidation.

 

 

M.

Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) Risks.

 

 

Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Funds have a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem shares directly from the Funds (known as “Authorized Participants” or “APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services; or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.

 

 

Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

 

 

39

 

 

SoFi Funds

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 29, 2020 (Continued)

 

 

Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market price. Although it is expected that the market price of shares will approximate the Funds’ NAV, there may be times when the market price of shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant.

 

 

Trading. Although shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as NYSE Arca, Inc. and The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (the “Exchanges”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchanges, there can be no assurance that shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Funds’ underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than shares.

 

 

N.

Non-Diversification Risk (SoFi Gig Economy ETF Only). Although the Fund intends to invest in a variety of securities and instruments, the Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. As a result, the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that invests more widely. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

 

 

O.

Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

 

The Funds report net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

 

 

P.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. These differences are primarily due to adjustments for redemptions in-kind. For the period ended February 29, 2020, the following adjustments were made:

 

Name of Fund

Paid-In Capital

Total Distributable
(Accumulated)
Earnings (Losses)

SoFi Select 500 ETF

$350,614

$(350,614)

SoFi Next 500 ETF

64,069

(64,069)

SoFi 50 ETF

287,859

(287,859)

 

During the period ended February 29, 2020, the SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, and SoFi 50 ETF realized $356,396, $70,402 and $290,941, respectively, in net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated losses to paid-in capital. There were no adjustments made for the SoFi Gig Economy ETF.

 

 

Q.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of Topic 820. The amendments in ASU No. 2018-13 are the result of a broader disclosure project called FASB Concept Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes

 

40

 

 

 

SoFi Funds

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 29, 2020 (Continued)

 

   

to Financial Statements. The objective and primary focus of the project are to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of the financial statements. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU No. 2018-13. The Funds have chosen to early adopt the eliminated or modified disclosures.

 

 

R.

Subsequent Events. In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These developments as well as other events, such as the U.S. presidential election, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets. As a result, the risk environment remains elevated. The Funds’ investment adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage each Fund in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund’s investment objective, but there can be no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.

 

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 6 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

Shares of the SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, and SoFi 50 ETF are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. and shares of the SoFi Gig Economy ETF are listed and traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in blocks of 50,000 shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

 

Each Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for the SoFi Select 500 ETF and SoFi Next 500 ETF is $500 and for the SoFi 50 ETF and SoFi Gig Economy ETF is $250, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for transaction costs associated with the cash transactions. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed in the capital shares transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders of

Funds and
The Board of Trustees of
Tidal ETF Trust

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of SoFi Select 500 ETF, SoFi Next 500 ETF, SoFi 50 ETF, and SoFi Gig Economy ETF (the “Funds”), each a series of Tidal ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of February 29, 2020, the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period ended February 29, 2020 (with respect to SoFi Select 500 ETF and SoFi Next 500 ETF, for the period April 10, 2019 (commencement of operations) to February 29, 2020, and with respect to SoFi 50 ETF and SoFi Gig Economy ETF, for the period May 7, 2019 (commencement of operations) to February 29, 2020), and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of February 29, 2020, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated above, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2018.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 29, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or through other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were unable to be obtained. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Expense Examples For the Six Months Ended February 29, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Funds’ shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Funds. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from September 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the following tables provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. To the extent a Fund invests in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the example. The example includes, but is not limited to, unitary fees. However, the example does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses, interest expense or dividends on short positions taken by the Funds. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line of the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values based on a hypothetical return and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Funds’ shares. Therefore, the second line of the following tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past fiscal year. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. There were no “Other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for the last fiscal year for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

 

The percentage of fees billed by Tait Weller & Baker LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

 

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last year. The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
