Shareholder Letter (unaudited)
Message from the President
The 12-month reporting period ended April 30, 2022, started on a generally positive note. Despite a new wave of COVID-19 infections that disrupted life and commerce, financial markets were buoyed during the spring and summer of 2021 by economic recovery and the widespread availability of vaccines. Most global economies expanded, exceeding pre-pandemic levels as businesses reopened and supportive government policies bore fruit. As the period progressed however, inflation began to creep up in response to government stimulus and accommodative monetary policies. Rising prices were further aggravated by wage increases, pandemic-related supply-chain bottlenecks and commodity price spikes. Bond prices slid as interest rates rose, and equity markets faltered. Market sentiment turned increasingly negative in the first quarter of 2022 as aggressive Russian rhetoric regarding Ukraine culminated in Russia’s invasion of its neighbor, a development that exacerbated global inflationary pressures while increasing investor uncertainty. Domestic supply shortages, international trade imbalances and rising inflation caused U.S. GDP (gross domestic product) to contract for the first time since the height of the pandemic, although consumer spending, a primary driver of U.S. economic growth, remained strong. Prices for petroleum surged to multi-year highs, while many key agricultural chemicals and industrial metals reached record territory.
Despite the market decline that greeted the first four months of 2022, the S&P 500® Index, a widely regarded benchmark of market performance, remained in modestly positive territory for the 12-month reporting period. Some market sectors benefited from the prevailing conditions, with energy stocks soaring and value-oriented shares broadly gaining ground. In addition to energy, leading sectors included utilities and consumer staples. On the other hand, the information technology, financials and consumer discretionary sectors suffered particularly sharp losses. Small- and mid-cap stocks underperformed, as they often do during times of heightened uncertainty and financial stress. International stocks trended lower, with some emerging markets, including Russia and China, suffering particularly steep losses, although others, such as India and Indonesia, gained ground. Fixed-income markets saw most bond prices fall as central banks contemplated significant interest rate hikes to combat higher-than-previously-expected inflation rates. However, floating-rate instruments, which feature variable interest rates that allow investors to benefit from a rising rate environment, bucked the downward trend.
Today, despite the continuing impact of COVID-19, most of the world appears intent on a return to post-pandemic normalcy. Instead, the focus of global political and economic attention has increasingly turned to the war in Ukraine and the impact of rising inflation. Russia and Ukraine together account for a substantial share of the world’s supply of food, fossil fuels and raw materials production. Accordingly, the timing and outcome of this conflict will undoubtedly play a major role in global economic developments over the coming months and, possibly, years. The actions of central banks, as they raise rates to fight inflation while trying to limit the risks of recession, are likely to further affect global markets and economies.
In the midst of these uncertain times, we remain dedicated to providing you with the disciplined investment tools you have come to expect from IndexIQ over the years. Thank you for continuing to place your trust in our team.
Sincerely,
Kirk C. Lehneis
President

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
IQ MacKay California Municipal Intermediate ETF
How did IQ MacKay California Municipal Intermediate ETF perform during the period since its inception on December 21, 2021 through April 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”)?
For the reporting period, IQ MacKay California Municipal Intermediate ETF returned −12.25% at NAV (net asset value) and −12.17% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Benchmark Index, the Bloomberg California Intermediate Municipal Bond Index2 returned −8.14% for the reporting period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
A slightly longer duration3 profile upon initial ramp up, along with overweight exposure to lower coupon structures relative to the Bloomberg California Intermediate Municipal Bond Index, negatively impacted the ETF’s performance as U.S. Treasury yields jumped significantly through the last four months of the reporting period.
During the reporting period, were there any market events that materially impacted the ETF’s performance or liquidity?
Late in the reporting period, U.S. Treasury rates rose significantly as the U.S. Federal Reserve took a more hawkish stance against inflation, indicating increased rate hikes in the year ahead. This had a direct influence on the shape of the yield curve4 and led to a widening in credit spreads,5 as well as a higher, overall level of interest rates.
During the reporting period, how was the ETF’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The ETF did not use derivatives during the reporting period.
What was the ETF’s duration strategy during the reporting period?
The ETF’s duration strategy was to be positioned in line with, to slightly longer than, the Bloomberg California Intermediate Municipal Bond Index upon initial ramp up. As municipal and Treasury yields moved significantly higher during the latter months of the reporting period, many of the ETF’s lower coupon bonds began to price at a discount, which resulted in a longer duration profile for the overall ETF versus the Index. This extension in duration detracted from the ETF’s relative performance.
During the reporting period, which sectors made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s performance and which sectors made the weakest contributions?
The strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s performance relative to the Bloomberg California Intermediate Municipal Bond Index during the reporting period came from underweight exposure to the state general obligation and education sectors. (Contributions take weightings and total returns into account.) Conversely, the weakest contributions to relative performance came from overweight exposure to the local general obligation and hospital sectors.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued)
What were some of the ETF’s largest purchases and sales during the reporting period?
Many of the initial purchases in the ETF were focused on diversification, liquidity and book yield. As the market backdrop changed significantly toward the end of the reporting period, trading activity remained elevated in an effort to increase the ETF’s average book yield and lower the average maturity by moving down the yield curve as it flattened.
How did the ETF’s sector weightings change during the reporting period?
As the ETF was initially launched several months before the end of the reporting period, there were no significant sector weighting changes.
How was the ETF positioned at the end of the reporting period?
As of April 30, 2022, the ETF continued to hold significantly overweight exposure of 28.46% to the local general obligation sector versus the Bloomberg California Intermediate Municipal Bond Index’s exposure of 14.29%. Although the ETF increased its exposure to the state general obligation sector by several percentage points during the reporting period as spreads widened, as of April 30, 2022, it remained significantly underweight to the sector versus the Index (8.05% versus 28.08%). As of the same date, the ETF held out-of-Index exposure to Puerto Rico and Guam issued bonds. In addition, the ETF held 14.2% exposure to non-investment grade securities, while the Index includes only investment-grade securities. The ETF may hold up to 20%. exposure to non-investment grade securities.

IQ MacKay Municipal Insured ETF
How did IQ MacKay Municipal Insured ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2022?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”), IQ MacKay Municipal Insured ETF returned −8.70% at NAV (net asset value) and −8.85% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Underlying Index, the Bloomberg Municipal All Insured Bond Index2 returned −8.98% for the same period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
The ETF outperformed the Bloomberg Municipal All Insured Bond Index during the reporting period in part due to its defensive positioning. Strategic cash balances and below-benchmark duration aided in the ETF’s relative performance. Late in the reporting period, U.S. Treasury interest rates began to rise as the U.S. Federal Reserve began to tighten monetary policy. Overweight positioning in the local general obligation and education sectors as well as 4% coupons represented the largest absolute and relative drags on performance. Underweight positioning in the transportation sector as well as 0% coupons provided the largest positive contribution to relative performance. (Contributions take weightings and total returns into account.) From a geographic perspective, credit selection within the states of California and New Jersey aided relative results; however the ETF’s overweight exposure to credits within the state of New York detracted from absolute and relative results.
During the reporting period, were there any market events that materially impacted the ETF’s performance or liquidity?
Late in the reporting period, U.S. Treasury rates rose significantly, which also pressured the AAA3 Municipal yield curve4 higher by over 150 basis points. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) During the final four months of the reporting period, the municipal market experienced over $42 billion in fund outflows, further pressuring credit spreads5 wider.
During the reporting period, how was the ETF’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
The ETF did not use derivatives during the reporting period.
What was the ETF’s duration6 strategy during the reporting period?
The ETF typically maintains a duration-neutral strategy that falls within a +/− 10% band of the Bloomberg Municipal All Insured Bond Index’s duration. The ETF finished the reporting period within this range with a modified duration7 of 6.46 years versus the benchmark modified duration of 6.61 years. Longer-duration bonds underperformed during the reporting period. The ETF’s slightly below-benchmark duration aided in the ETF’s relative performance.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued)
During the reporting period, which sectors made the strongest contributions to the ETF’s performance and which sectors made the weakest contributions?
The strongest positive contributions to the ETF’s performance relative to the Bloomberg Municipal All Insured Bond Index during the reporting period came from the leasing and transportation sectors. Conversely, the weakest contributors to relative performance were the local general obligation and education sectors.
What were some of the ETF’s largest purchases and sales during the reporting period?
Early in the reporting period the ETF purchased a Connecticut special tax bond. At the time of purchase this bond represented attractive curve positioning and an improving underlying credit. Subsequently the bond was sold toward the end of the reporting period in two partial transactions. Both of the sales were to increase the liquidity profile of the ETF. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the ETF purchased an Eagle County School District bond. This bond was also insured by Assured Guaranty, and represented a structure that would appeal to retail investors. The ETF began selling within 2 weeks on the electronic markets direct to retail investors, and several partial sales occurred into the first quarter of 2022 before the ETF sold the remaining position institutionally.
How did the ETF’s sector weightings change during the reporting period?
During the reporting period, the ETF’s decreased its exposure to the local general obligation, dedicated tax and toll road sectors. The ETF increased its exposure to the higher education, hospital and water & sewer sectors.
How was the ETF positioned at the end of the reporting period?
As of April 30, 2022, the ETF held significantly overweight exposure of to the local general obligation sector of 38.68% versus 15.54% for the Bloomberg Municipal All Insured Bond Index. In addition, the ETF held overweight exposures versus the Index to credits in the states of Illinois (14.38% versus 8.99%), New York (11.35% versus 9.19%) and Colorado (4.76% versus 2.07%). From a sector standpoint the ETF’s largest relative underweight exposure was to the transportation sector (7.92% versus 20.61%). The largest underweight exposure from a geographic standpoint was to credits in the state of California (10.72% versus 18.75%).

What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
Strategic cash balances and below-benchmark duration aided in the ETFs’ performance relative to the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index 1-15 Year Blend. Late in the reporting period, U.S. Treasury interest rates began to rise as the U.S. Federal Reserve began to tighten monetary policy. Overweight positioning to the local general obligation, hospital and education sectors, as well as 4% coupons, represented the largest absolute and relative drag on performance. Underweight positioning to the transportation and state general obligation sectors provided the largest positive contribution to relative performance. (Contributions take weightings and total returns into account.) From a geographic perspective, credit selection within the states of California and New York aided relative results; however the ETF’s overweight exposure to credits within the state of Illinois detracted from absolute and relative results.

What were some of the ETF’s largest purchases and sales during the reporting period?
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the ETF purchased a District of Columbia general obligation bond. At the time of purchase, this bond represented attractive curve positioning and an attractive structure for retail buyers. The bond was sold two months later in a tax-loss swap. Late in the reporting period, the ETF purchased a position in California State general obligation bonds. The ETF sold this position within a few weeks to raise the liquidity profile of the ETF.
How did the ETF’s sector weightings change during the reporting period?
During the reporting period, the ETF decreased its exposure to the transportation sector from 15.59% to 6.08%, and to the special tax sector from 14.64% to 10.73%. The ETF increased its exposure to the local general obligation sector from 18.2% to 26.76%, and to the hospital sector from 7.52% to 10.70%.

IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF
How did IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF perform during the period since its inception on June 29, 2021 through April 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”)?
For the reporting period, IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF returned −9.31% at NAV (net asset value) and −9.21% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s Benchmark Index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2 returned −9.32% for the reporting period.
What factors affected the ETF’s performance during the reporting period?
The ETF’s yield curve3 positioning made a positive contribution to performance relative to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. (Contributions take weightings and total returns into account.) In addition, underweight exposure to agency mortgages aided relative results. Conversely, spreads4 on investment-grade corporates, high-yield corporates and preferred debt widened, detracting from the ETF’s relative performance.
During the reporting period, were there any market events that materially impacted the ETF’s performance or liquidity?
Along with the ongoing war in Ukraine, perhaps the most significant event, which occurred in the last four months of the reporting period, was the rapid repricing of expectations for global monetary policy, especially in the United States. An exceptionally strong labor market, concerns that long-term inflation expectations may become unanchored and few signs of a letup in underlying inflation pressures led U.S. Federal Reserve officials to significantly adjust their outlook for monetary policy, and markets followed suit.
During the reporting period, how was the ETF’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
During the reporting period, the ETF used U.S. Treasury futures to hedge its duration.5 This position detracted from returns.
What was the ETF’s duration strategy during the reporting period?
As of April 30, 2022, the effective duration for the ETF was 6.55 years relative to 6.42 years for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
During the reporting period, which sectors were the strongest positive contributors to the ETF’s relative performance and which sectors made the weakest contributions?
During the reporting period, as stated above, the ETF’s underweight exposure to agency mortgages contributed positively to relative performance. Conversely, both investment-grade and high-yield holdings detracted from performance. Within the ETF’s corporate exposure, the banking, retailing and auto industries were among the most significant laggards. In addition, securitized debt weakened relative results.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) (continued)
What were some of the ETF’s largest purchases and sales during the reporting period?
The inception of the ETF occurred during the reporting period. The ETF purchased credit-risk transfer deals issued by Freddie Mac (the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) and Fannie Mae (the Federal National Mortgage Association) with the Structured Agency Credit Risk and Connecticut Avenue Securities programs. In addition, the ETF made purchases in credits of Bank of America as well as Dell. These purchases reflect the positive outlook the team has on the housing market and the resiliency of the consumer. Over the same period, the ETF sold its exposure to Huntsman International and Comcast. Both were relative value sales.
How did the ETF’s sector weightings change during the reporting period?
During the reporting period, the ETF increased its exposure to U.S. Treasury securities and consumer asset-backed securities. During the same period, the ETF trimmed its exposure to high-yield corporate credit as well as residential mortgage securities.
How was the ETF positioned at the end of the reporting period?
As of April 30, 2022, relative to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the ETF held overweight exposure to high-yield corporate bonds and consumer asset-backed securities. As of the same date, the ETF held underweight exposure to agency and agency mortgages.

IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF
How did IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF perform during the 12 months ended April 30, 2022?
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”), IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF returned −0.97% at NAV (net asset value) and −1.10% at market price.1 To compare, the ETF’s benchmark Index, the Bloomberg Short Treasury 3-6 Month Index,2 returned 0.00% for the same period.
What factors affected the ETF’s relative performance during the reporting period?
The ETF held overweight positions relative to the Bloomberg Short Treasury 3-6 Month Index in corporates, asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) throughout the reporting period. To facilitate these overweight positions, the ETF maintained an underweight position in the Treasury sector. Within the corporate sector, where the ETF had its largest overweight position, option-adjusted spreads3 were 11 basis points wider over the reporting period. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) The corporate sector was the ETF’s worst-performing sector during the reporting period. The overweight position in U.S. government agencies, particularly the callable subcomponent, was the ETF’s second worst performing sector during the reporting period. The overweight position in ABS, particularly the fixed-rate subcomponent, also detracted from performance during the reporting period. An overweight position in CMBS was accretive to the performance of the ETF.
During the reporting period, how was the ETF’s performance materially affected by investments in derivatives?
During the reporting period, the use of derivatives was limited to interest rate derivatives used to keep the duration4 of the ETF in line with our target duration. Generally, interest rate derivatives had a slightly negative impact on performance during the reporting period.
What was the ETF’s duration strategy during the reporting period?
During the first half of the reporting period, the ETF maintained a duration that was longer than that of the Bloomberg Short Treasury 3-6 Month Index. This yield curve5 positioning detracted from performance as interest rates moved higher. During the second half of the reporting period, the ETF maintained a duration that was shorter than that of the Index. This curve positioning was accretive to performance as interest rates moved higher. As of April 30, 2022, the effective duration of the ETF was 0.22 years, compared to a duration of 0.37 years for the Index.
During the reporting period, which sectors were the strongest positive contributors to the ETF’s relative performance and which sectors were particularly weak?
During the reporting period, the ETF maintained overweight exposure compared to the Bloomberg Short Treasury 3-6 Month Index in the industrials and financial sectors, both of which detracted from the ETF’s relative performance. Among industrials, performance in the automotive, wireless and wirelines subsectors were particularly weak, with bonds issued by T-Mobile USA, Verizon Communications, Nissan Motor and Hyundai Capital among the ETF’s worst performers. Among financials, overweight exposure to the finance company and banking subsectors had the most significantly negative impact on the ETF’s relative performance, particularly holdings in Royal Bank of Canada, Credit Agricole, AerCap Ireland Capital and Aircastle. Within securitized products, CMBS was the best-performing sector. Within the CMBS sector, the ETF’s overweight positions relative to the Index in the agency and non-agency subcomponents were accretive to performance. Within the ABS sector, specialty finance and student loan securities detracted from the

performance of the ETF. The ETF’s underweight position in the Treasury sector also detracted from performance during the reporting period.
What were some of the ETF’s largest purchases and sales during the reporting period?
The ETF’s three largest purchases during the reporting period included bonds issued by Avery Dennison, Eversource Energy and Skyworks Solutions. The ETF’s largest sales during the same period were holdings in Credit Suisse, American Honda Finance and Standard Chartered.
How did the ETF’s sector weightings change during the reporting period?
During the reporting period, the ETF held overweight exposure relative to the Index to the industrial and financial subsectors within the corporate sector. The ETF reduced exposure to corporate credit during the first quarter of 2022 as credit valuations became less attractive. The reduction in corporate credit served to improve quality and flexibility in the ETF, as rate and spread volatility was expected to persist in the foreseeable future. Within the ABS sector, we reduced the ETF’s allocation to AAA and AA collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) in the first quarter of 2022 to raise liquidity due to portfolio outflows.6 Throughout the reporting period, we significantly reduced the ETF’s U.S. government agency exposure, particularly in the callable subcomponent. Interest rates moved materially higher due to increased expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve would tighten monetary policy sooner than originally expected, increasing volatility in financial markets. This development led us to reallocate ETF assets out of U.S. government agencies and into U.S. Treasury securities.
How was the ETF positioned at the end of the reporting period?
As of April 30, 2021, the ETF held its most significant overweight exposure relative to the Bloomberg Short Treasury 3-6 Month Index in corporate securities. Within the corporate sector, the ETF held overweight positions in financials, industrials and utilities. The ETF’s second-largest overweight was concentrated in the ABS sector, particularly in the CLO subcomponent. The ETF also held overweight positions in the CMBS sector. As of the same date, the ETF held an underweight position in the U.S. Treasury sector.

An obligation rated ‘AAA’ has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”), and in the opinion of S&P, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong. An obligation rated ‘AA’ by S&P is deemed by S&P to differ from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. In the opinion of S&P, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong. When applied to ETF holdings, ratings are based solely on the creditworthiness of the bonds in the portfolio and are not meant to represent the security or safety of the ETF.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs on purchases and sales and (2) ongoing costs, including Advisory fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. Shareholders may pay brokerage commissions on their purchase and sale of the Fund, which are not reflected in the example.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information together with the amount you invested, in a particular fund, 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 11/01/21 to 04/30/22” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Each Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying Fund investments in which each Fund invests. These expenses are not included in the table.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The Funds will indirectly bear their pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying fund investments in which the Funds invest. These expenses are not included in the table.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION
IndexIQ Active ETF Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 30, 2008 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an open-end, management investment company, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of five operational funds, IQ MacKay California Municipal Intermediate ETF, IQ MacKay Municipal Insured ETF, IQ MacKay Municipal Intermediate ETF, IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF and IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF (collectively, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”). The Funds are exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), whose shares are listed on a stock exchange and traded like equity securities at market prices. Each Fund is classified as diversified. IQ MacKay Municipal Insured ETF and IQ MacKay Municipal Intermediate ETF commenced operations on October 18, 2017, IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF commenced operations on July 31, 2019, IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF commenced operations on June 29, 2021, and IQ MacKay California Municipal Intermediate ETF commenced operations on December 21, 2021.
MacKay Shields LLC (“MacKay Shields”), is the sub-advisor to IQ MacKay California Municipal Intermediate ETF, IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF, IQ MacKay Municipal Insured ETF and IQ MacKay Municipal Intermediate ETF and NYL Investors LLC, is the sub-advisor to the IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF (collectively, the “Sub-Advisors” and each, a “Sub-Advisor”).
The IQ MacKay California Municipal Intermediate ETF seeks to provide current income exempt from federal and California income taxes. The IQ Mackay Municipal Insured ETF and IQ MacKay Municipal Intermediate ETF seek to provide current income exempt from federal income tax. The IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF seeks total return, while incorporating the Sub-Advisor’s ESG investment strategy. The IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF seeks to provide current income while maintaining limited price volatility. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s objective will be achieved.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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. Each Fund prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and follows the significant accounting policies described below.
Use of Estimates
IndexIQ Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) makes certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that may provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. 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. The Advisor believes that the risk of loss in connection with these potential indemnification obligations is remote. However, there can be no assurance that material liabilities related to such obligations will not arise in the future, which could adversely impact the Funds.
Investment Valuation
Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” A Creation Unit consists of 50,000 shares. The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. The NAV of the shares of each Fund will be equal to each Fund’s total assets minus each Fund’s total
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of Creation Units, the NAV will be calculated to five decimal places. The consideration for purchase of a Creation Unit of shares of each Fund generally consists of a basket of securities and/or cash that the Fund specifies each day.
A Fund typically values fixed-income portfolio securities using last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by the Fund’s approved independent third-party pricing services. Pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values. Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at different prices that may be above or below the price at which the pricing service has valued the security. Amortized cost is used as a method of valuation with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity unless the Advisor determines in good faith that such method does not represent fair value.
Generally, trading in U.S. government securities, money market instruments and certain fixed-income securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the NAV of the Fund are determined as of such times.
Futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement or closing price determined by the applicable exchange.
When market quotations or prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable or not representative of an investment’s fair value, investments are valued using fair value pricing as determined in good faith by the Advisor, under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The procedures state that, subject to the oversight of the Board and unless otherwise noted, the responsibility for the day-to-day valuation of portfolio assets (including fair value measurements for the Funds’ assets and liabilities) rests with the Advisor. The Advisor may conclude that a market quotation is not readily available or is unreliable if a security or other asset or liability does not have a price source due to its lack of liquidity or other reason, if a market quotation differs significantly from recent price quotations or otherwise no longer appears to reflect fair value, where the security or other asset or liability is thinly traded, or if the trading market on which a security is listed is suspended or closed and no appropriate alternative trading market is available. The frequency with which a Fund’s investments are valued using fair value pricing is primarily a function of the types of securities and other assets in which the Fund invests pursuant to its investment objective, strategies and limitations. If a fund invests in open-end management investment companies (other than ETFs) registered under the 1940 Act, it may rely on the NAV of those companies to value the shares they hold of them. Those companies may also use fair value pricing under some circumstances.
The IQ MacKay Municipal Insured ETF and IQ MacKay Municipal Intermediate ETF sweep uninvested cash balances into the Dreyfus Tax Exempt Cash Management — Institutional Shares (Dreyfus Fund). The Dreyfus Fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF sweeps uninvested cash balances into the BlackRock Liquidity Funds Treasury Trust Fund Portfolio, Institutional Class (“BlackRock Liquidity Fund”). BlackRock Liquidity Fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. The IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF sweeps uninvested cash balances into BlackRock Liquidity Funds T-Fund. The BlackRock Liquidity Funds T-Fund seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.
Fair Value Measurement
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the following hierarchy:
•
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 securities, 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.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and are 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. With respect to the valuation of Level 3 securities, the Advisor may employ a market-based valuation approach which may use related or comparable securities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information to determine fair value. The Advisor may also use an income-based valuation approach in which anticipated future cash flows of the financial instrument are discounted to calculate fair value. The Advisor representatives meet regularly to review and discuss the appropriateness of such fair values using more current information such as, recent security news, recent market transactions, updated corporate action information and/or other macro or security specific events.
All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board, although the actual calculations may be done by others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value each Fund’s investments on April 30, 2022 is disclosed at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Tax Information and Uncertain Tax Positions
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all the taxable income to the shareholders of the Fund within the allowable time limits.
The Advisor evaluates each Fund’s tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. The Advisor has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years (for up to three tax years), and has concluded that no provisions for federal, state and local income tax are required in each Fund’s financial statements. Each Fund’s federal, state and local income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state and local departments of revenue.
The IQ MacKay California Municipal Intermediate ETF, IQ MacKay Municipal Insured ETF, IQ MacKay Municipal Intermediate ETF, IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF and IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF have concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions to Shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In addition, the Funds may determine to distribute at least annually amounts representing the full dividend yield net of expenses on the underlying investment securities, as if the Funds owned the underlying investment securities for the entire dividend period in which case some portion of each distribution may result in a return of capital. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported as a tax return of capital. Therefore, no federal, state and local income tax provisions are required.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less when acquired, and are disclosed as Short-Term Investments in the Schedules of Investments.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities are calculated using the identified cost method.
Investment Income and Expenses
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-date. Interest income is accrued daily. Distributions of realized capital gains by underlying funds are recorded as realized capital gains on the ex-date. Expenses of the Trust arising in connection with a specific Fund are allocated to that Fund. Other Trust expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust based upon the relative net assets or other appropriate measures. The Funds distribute substantially all their net investment income to shareholders in the form of dividends. Net investment income is distributed monthly and capital gains are typically distributed at least annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The expenses of the investment companies in which a Fund invests are not included in the amounts shown as expenses on the Statements of Operations or in the expense ratios included in the Financial Highlights.
Discounts and premiums on securities purchased, other than Short-Term Investments, for the Funds are accreted and amortized, respectively, on the effective interest rate method over the life of the respective securities. Discounts and premiums on Short-Term Investments are accreted and amortized, respectively, on the straight-line method. The straight-line method approximates the effective interest method for Short-Term Investments. Income from payment-in-kind securities is accreted daily based on the effective interest method.
Securities Lending
The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) serves as the securities lending agent for IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF. The Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Fund’s
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
securities lending agent. It is the Fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral in the form of cash and/or high grade debt obligations, is maintained at all times. Cash collateral can be invested in certain money market mutual funds which also have exposure to the fluctuations of the market. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from fees paid by the borrowers of securities, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. The Fund will continue to receive dividend and interest income on securities loaned, any gain or loss in the market price of securities on loan will be accounted for by the Fund. Lending portfolio securities could result in a delay in recovering the Fund’s securities if the borrower defaults.
The Fund’s security lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between the Fund and the lending agent. The Lending Agreement authorizes the lending agent to lend qualifying U.S. and foreign securities held by the Fund to approved borrowers (each a “Borrower”). To mitigate borrower risk, the Fund typically receives from a Borrower, collateral in the form of U.S. dollar cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. Under the provisions of the Lending Agreement, the Fund shall have, as to the collateral, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law. The lending agent is permitted to invest the cash collateral it receives from a Borrower into a money market fund which is subject to market fluctuation. Therefore, the Fund is exposed to risk of loss if the value of invested cash collateral is insufficient to satisfy the Fund’s obligation to return the full amount owed to such Borrower.
In accordance with the securities lending agreement between the Fund and BNY Mellon, the Funds will be indemnified by BNY Mellon in the event of default of a third party Borrower.
The securities lending income earned by the Fund is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral are shown on a gross basis in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of April 30, 2022, the cash collateral consisted of an institutional money market fund and non-cash collateral consisted of U.S. Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, Separate Trading of Registered Interest (“STRIPs”) and Principal of Securities and U.S. Treasury Inflation Indexed Notes and Bonds with the following maturities:

The collateral amount presented is in excess of the securities on loan.
3. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Sub-Advisors are registered investment advisors and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of New York Life. The Sub-Advisors are responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board. Pursuant to the terms of the respective Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors, the Subadvisor is compensated by the Advisor. To the extent that the Advisor has agreed to waive its management fee or reimburse expenses, the Subadvisor has agreed to waive or reimburse its fee proportionately.
Distribution (12b-1 Fees)
ALPS Distributors, Inc. serves as the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”) pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. NYLIFE Distributors LLC has entered into a Service Agreement with the Distributor to market the Funds. The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1 Plan”). In accordance with the Rule 12b-1 Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. As authorized by the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of each respective Fund’s assets. The Advisor and its affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Funds.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
As described in Note 4 below, the Distributor has entered into Participant Agreements with certain broker-dealers and others that allow those parties to be Authorized Participants and to subscribe for and redeem shares of the Funds. Also as described in Note 4 below, such Authorized Participants may from time to time hold, of record or beneficially, a substantial percentage of the Funds’ shares outstanding, act as executing or clearing broker for investment transactions on behalf of the Funds and/or serve as counterparty to derivative transactions with each Fund.
Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent
The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) (in each capacity, the “Administrator,” “Custodian” or “Transfer Agent”) serves as the Funds’ Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent pursuant to the Fund Administration and Accounting Agreement, Custody Agreement and Transfer Agency Agreement. Pursuant to these agreements, BNY Mellon provides necessary administrative, custody, transfer agency, tax, accounting services and financial reporting for the maintenance and operations of the Trust and the Funds. BNY Mellon is responsible for maintaining the books and records and calculating the daily NAV of the Funds. BNY Mellon is a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a financial holding company.
4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Shares are created and redeemed on a continuous basis at NAV only in groups of 50,000 shares called Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable. Transactions in shares of the Funds are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to create and redeem whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Securities received or delivered in connection with in-kind creates and redeems are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the creation or redemption.

At April 30, 2022, the Funds listed below had net capital loss carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes which are available for offset against future taxable net capital gains. The amounts were determined after adjustments for certain differences between financial reporting and tax purposes, such as wash sale losses.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Accordingly, no capital gain distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders of these Funds until future net capital gains have been realized in excess of the available capital loss carryforwards. There is no assurance that any Fund will be able to utilize all of its capital loss carryforwards before they expire. These loss carryforwards are as follows:

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is an agreement to purchase or sell a specified quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified future date and price, or to make or receive a cash payment based on the value of a financial instrument (e.g., foreign currency, interest rate, security or securities index). A Fund is subject to risks such as market price risk and/or interest rate risk in the normal course of investing in these transactions. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker or futures commission merchant an amount
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
of cash and/or U.S. government securities equal to a certain percentage of the collateral amount, known as the “initial margin.” During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation by marking to market such contract on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. A Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker or futures commission merchant an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin.” When the futures contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract.
The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The contract or notional amounts and variation margin reflect the extent of a Fund’s involvement in open futures positions. There are several risks associated with the use of futures contracts as hedging techniques. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist at the time when a Fund seeks to close out a futures contract. If no liquid market exists, the Fund would remain obligated to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. Futures may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed, which could result in losses greater than if they had not been used.
Futures may be more volatile than direct investments in the instrument underlying the futures and may not correlate to the underlying instrument, causing a given hedge not to achieve its objectives. A Fund’s activities in futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are conducted through regulated exchanges that guarantee the futures against default by the counterparty. In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of a futures commission merchant that holds margin on behalf of the Fund, the Fund may not be entitled to the return of the entire margin owed to a Fund, potentially resulting in a loss. A Fund’s investment in futures contracts and other derivatives may increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAVs and may result in a loss to the Fund. As of April 30, 2022, the open futures contracts for IQ MacKay ESG Core Plus Bond ETF and IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF are shown in the Schedule of Investments.

9. RISKS INVOLVED WITH INVESTING IN THE FUNDS
The Funds are subject to the principal risks described below, some or all of these risks may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. As with any investment, an investment in a Fund could result in a loss or the performance of a Fund could be inferior to that of other investments.
Bond Insurance Risk
Insured municipal bonds are covered by insurance policies that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest. The insurance does not guarantee the market value of an insured security, or a Fund’s share price or distributions. Shares of a Fund are not insured. Market conditions or changes to ratings criteria could adversely impact municipal bond insurers, which could adversely impact the value of the insured municipal bond or the ability of the insurer to pay any claims due. Consolidation among municipal bond insurers could increase a Fund’s exposure to one or more individual municipal bond insurers and reduce the supply of municipal bonds.
Credit Risk
Debt issuers and other counterparties may not honor their obligations or may have their debt downgraded by ratings agencies. The financial condition of an issuer of a debt security or other instrument may cause such issuer to default, become unable to pay interest or principal due or otherwise fail to honor its obligations or cause such issuer to be perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as being in such situations.
Derivatives Risk
Derivative strategies may expose a Fund to greater risk than if it had invested directly in the underlying instrument and often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing a Fund to lose more money than it originally invested and would have lost had it invested directly in the underlying instrument. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value. Derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
is the risk that the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable to honor its contractual obligations to the Fund. Futures may be more volatile than direct investments in the instrument underlying the contract and may not correlate perfectly to the underlying instrument. Futures and other derivatives also may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed, which could result in losses greater than if they had not been used. Due to fluctuations in the price of the underlying asset, a Fund may not be able to profitably exercise an option and may lose its entire investment in an option. Derivatives may also increase the expenses of a Fund.
ESG Investing Style Risk1
A Fund seeks exposure to the securities of companies meeting environmental, social and corporate governance investing criteria. A Fund excludes or limits exposure to securities of certain issuers for non-financial reasons, and a Fund may forgo some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these criteria. The application of ESG investing criteria may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain sectors or types of investments and may impact the Fund’s relative investment performance depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market. ESG investing is subjective by nature, and therefore offers no guarantee that the ESG criteria utilized by the Subadvisor will accurately provide exposure to issuers meeting environmental, social and corporate governance criteria or any judgment exercised by the Subadvisor will reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor. In addition, ESG investing is dependent upon information and data that may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could adversely affect the analysis of the factors relevant to a particular investment.
Income Risk
A Fund’s income may decline when interest rates fall. This decline can occur because a Fund may subsequently invest in lower-yielding bonds when bonds in its portfolio mature or the Fund otherwise needs to purchase additional bonds.
Interest Rate Risk
An increase in interest rates may cause the value of debt securities held by a Fund to decline. Interest rates in the United States are near historic lows, which may increase a Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising interest rates. Interest rates may rise significantly and/or rapidly. Rising interest rates or lack of market participants may lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the bond markets, making it more difficult for a Fund to sell its bond holdings at a time when the Fund might wish to sell.
Large Transaction Risks
From time to time, a Fund may receive large purchase or redemption orders from affiliated or unaffiliated funds or other investors. Such large transactions could have adverse effects on a Fund’s performance if the Fund were required to sell securities or invest cash at times when it otherwise would not do so. This activity could also accelerate the realization of capital gains and increase a Fund’s transaction costs.
LIBOR Replacement Risk
A Fund may invest in certain debt securities, derivatives or other financial instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for various interest rate calculations. The United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. However, certain LIBOR tenors will continue beyond 2021 and the most widely used LIBOR tenors may continue until mid-2023.As a result, it is anticipated that LIBOR will be discontinued or will no longer be sufficiently robust to be representative of its underlying market around that time. Although financial regulators and industry working groups have suggested alternative reference rates, such as the European Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”), Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate (“SONIA”) and Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), there are challenges to converting certain contracts and transactions to a new benchmark and neither the full

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
effects of the transition process nor its ultimate outcome is known. The Advisor is currently working to assess exposure and will modify contracts as necessary.
The elimination of LIBOR or changes to other reference rates or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of reference rates could have an adverse impact on the market for, or value of, any securities or payments linked to those reference rates, which may adversely affect a Fund’s performance and/or net asset value.
Uncertainty and risk also remain regarding the willingness and ability of issuers and lenders to include revised provisions in new and existing contracts or instruments. Consequently, the transition away from LIBOR to other reference rates may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that are tied to LIBOR, fluctuations in values of LIBOR-related investments or investments in issuers that utilize LIBOR, increased difficulty in borrowing or refinancing and diminished effectiveness of hedging strategies, adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
Furthermore, the risks associated with the expected discontinuation of LIBOR and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner.
While the transition away from LIBOR has already begun with no material adverse effect to the Portfolio's performance, the transition is expected to last through mid-2023 for some LIBOR tenors. The usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate anytime during this transition period.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell. This can reduce a Fund’s returns because the Funds may be unable to transact at advantageous times or prices. Decreased liquidity in the bond markets also may make it more difficult to value some or all of a Fund’s bond holdings. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds.
Market Risk
The market price of investments owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Investments may decline in value due to factors affecting markets generally or particular segments of the market. Market risks include political, regulatory, market and economic developments, and geopolitical and other events, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, natural disasters, and public health crises. Such events may result in disruptions in the U.S. and world economies and markets, which may increase financial market volatility and have significant adverse direct or indirect effects on a Fund and its investments. An outbreak of COVID-19 has developed into a global pandemic and has resulted in travel restrictions, closure of international borders, certain businesses and securities markets, restrictions on securities trading activities, prolonged quarantines, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The full effects, duration and costs of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, and the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to evolve and may adversely affect a Fund and its investments
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk
Investments in mortgage-related securities (such as mortgage-backed securities) and other asset-backed securities (such as collateralized debt and loan obligations) generally involve a stream of payments based on the underlying obligations. These payments, which are often part interest and part return of principal, vary based on the rate at which the underlying borrowers repay their loans or other obligations.
Asset-backed securities are subject to the risk that borrowers may default on the underlying obligations and that, during periods of falling interest rates, these obligations may be called or prepaid and, during periods of rising interest rates, obligations may be paid more slowly than expected. Impairment of the underlying obligations or collateral, such as by non-payment, will reduce the security’s value. Enforcing rights against such collateral in events of default may be difficult or insufficient. The value of these securities may be
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
significantly affected by changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of issuers, and the creditworthiness of the parties involved. These securities may have a structure that makes their reaction to interest rate changes and other factors difficult to predict, making their value highly volatile.
Municipal Bond Risk
A Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets in municipal bonds whose interest is paid solely from revenues of similar projects. If a Fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the legal and economic risks relating to such projects and this may have a significant impact on a fund’s investment performance. In addition, a Fund may invest more heavily in bonds from certain cities, states, territories, or regions than others, which may increase the Funds’ exposure to losses resulting from economic, political, or regulatory occurrences impacting these particular cities, states, territories or regions. Certain of the issuers in which the Funds may invest have recently experienced, or may experience, significant financial difficulties and repeated credit rating downgrades. A Fund’s vulnerability to potential losses associated with such developments may be reduced through investing in municipal securities that feature credit enhancements (such as bond insurance).
Municipal bond proceeds could provide positive social or environmental benefits which could cause it to perform differently compared to funds that do not have such a policy. Investing in securities whose use of proceeds provide positive social or environmental benefits may result in the Fund forgoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities when it might be otherwise disadvantageous for it to do so. The positive social or environmental impact of a municipal bond’s proceeds is made at the time of purchase and the actual use of proceeds by the issuer could vary over time, which could cause the Fund to be invested in bonds that do not comply with the Fund’s approach towards considering social or environmental characteristics. The factors considered in evaluating whether a security has positive social or environmental benefits may change over time. There are significant differences in interpretations of what it means to promote positive social or environmental benefits. While its definitions are reasonable, the portfolio decisions it makes may differ with other’s views.
Municipal bonds most frequently trade in institutional round lot size transactions. Until a Fund grows significantly in size, a Fund expects to purchase a significant number of bonds in amounts less than the institutional round lot size, which are frequently referred to as “odd” lots. Odd lot size positions may have more price volatility than institutional round lot size positions. The Funds use a third-party pricing service to value bond holdings and the pricing service values bonds assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size.
New Fund Risk2
Certain Funds are new funds. There can be no assurance that they will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case they may experience greater tracking error to their Underlying Indexes or ultimately liquidate.
Trading Price Risk
Although it is expected that generally the market price of a Fund’s Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price in the Secondary Market and the NAV vary significantly. During periods of market stress shares of a Fund may also experience significantly wider “bid/ask” spreads and premiums and discounts between a Fund’s net asset value and market price.
U.S. Tax Treatment Risk
Income from municipal bonds held by a Fund could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax law, adverse interpretations by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or noncompliant conduct of a bond issuer. In addition, a portion of a Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt dividends may be taxable to shareholders subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (unaudited)
In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the funds of IndexIQ Active ETF Trust (the “Funds”) have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), which IndexIQ Advisors LLC believes is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) designated IndexIQ Advisors LLC as administrator of the Program (the “Administrator”). The Program Administrator’s Portfolio Oversight Committee acts as the Liquidity Risk Management Committee to assist the Administrator in the implementation and day-to-day administration of the Program and to otherwise support the Administrator in fulfilling its responsibilities under the Program.
At a meeting of the Board held on March 30, 2022, the Administrator provided the Board with a written report addressing the Program’s operation, adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”), as required under the Liquidity Rule. The report noted that the Administrator concluded that: (i) the Program operated effectively to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk; (ii) the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented to monitor and, as applicable, respond to the Funds’ liquidity developments; and (iii) each Fund’s investment strategy continues to be appropriate for an open-end fund.
In accordance with the Program, each Fund’s liquidity risk is assessed no less frequently than annually taking into consideration certain factors, as applicable, such as: (i) each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (ii) each Fund’s short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (iii) each Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources; (iv) the relationship between each Fund’s portfolio liquidity and the way in which, and the prices and spreads at which, Fund shares trade, including the efficiency of the arbitrage function and the level of active participation by market participants, including authorized participants; and (v) the effect of the composition of baskets on the overall liquidity of each Fund’s portfolio.
Each Fund portfolio investment is classified into one of four liquidity categories. The classification is based on a determination of the number of days it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment into cash, or sell or dispose of the investment, in current market conditions without significantly changing the market value of the investment. The Administrator has delegated liquidity classification determinations to each Fund’s sub-adviser, subject to appropriate oversight by the Administrator, and classification determinations are made by taking into account each Fund’s reasonably anticipated trade size, various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and, in certain cases, third-party vendor data.
The Liquidity Rule requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to adopt a minimum amount of net assets that must be invested in highly liquid investments that are assets (“HLIM”). In addition, the Liquidity Rule limits a fund’s investments in illiquid investments. Specifically, the Liquidity Rule prohibits acquisition of illiquid investments if doing so would result in a fund holding more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments that are assets. The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to determine, periodically review and comply with the HLIM requirement, as applicable, and to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments.
There were no material changes to the Program during the Reporting Period. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)
Approval Relating to the IQ MacKay California Municipal Intermediate ETF (the “New Fund”)
The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) met by videoconference on December 10, 2021, pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Investment Management temporarily exempting fund boards from the in-person approval requirements of certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), in light of the impact of COVID-19. The Board met to consider the approval of an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement Amendment”) and an amendment to the Subadvisory Agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement Amendment”), each with respect to the New Fund. The Board noted that the Advisory Agreement Amendment was between the Trust and IndexIQ Advisors LLC (“IndexIQ” or the “Advisor”), while the Subadvisory Agreement Amendment was between the Advisor and MacKay Shields LLC (“MacKay Shields” or the “Sub-Advisor”).
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Advisor and MacKay Shields for this meeting relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Agreement Amendment and the Subadvisory Agreement Amendment, as supplemented by the information submitted in connection with the Board’s review of contractual arrangements, at the March 31, 2021 meeting, to the extent relevant. In connection with considering approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and the Subadvisory Agreement Amendment, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), met in executive session with counsel to the Trust and counsel to the Independent Trustees, who provided assistance and advice. The consideration of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and Subadvisory Agreement Amendment was conducted by both the full Board and the Independent Trustees, who also voted separately.
During their review and consideration, the Board and the Independent Trustees focused on and analyzed the factors they deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality, and extent of the services that the Advisor and MacKay Shields will provide to the New Fund, and the fees that the Advisor will charge to the New Fund; (2) information concerning the business and operations, compliance program and portfolio management teams of the Advisor and MacKay Shields; (3) information describing the New Fund’s anticipated operating expenses; (4) data comparing the proposed fee rate for advisory services to be charged to the New Fund and the expected expense ratios to fees paid by and expense ratios of other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) with similar investment objectives and policies as those of the New Fund; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Fund grows; (6) any “fall-out” benefits to be derived by the Advisor or MacKay Shields from its relationship with the Trust; and (7) potential conflicts of interest. The Board considered that the New Fund is an actively managed ETF.
In reviewing such factors, the Board relied on certain information, including (1) a copy of the Advisory Agreement Amendment; (2) a copy of the Subadvisory Agreement Amendment; (3) information about applicable expense limitation and fee waiver agreements; (4) information describing the Advisor and MacKay Shields and the services provided thereby; (5) information regarding the respective compliance program of the Advisor and Mackay Shields; (6) information regarding the portfolio management team of Mackay Shields; (7) copies of the Form ADV for each of the Advisor and Mackay Shields; (8) memoranda and guidance from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees on the fiduciary responsibilities of trustees, including Independent Trustees, in considering advisory and distribution agreements under the 1940 Act; (9) materials provided by each of the Advisor and Mackay Shields in response to a 15(c) request for information from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees for this meeting and the March 31, 2021 contract renewal meeting, to the extent relevant to the approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and Subadvisory Agreement Amendment, respectively; and (10) a presentation, via videoconference, by personnel of the Advisor and MacKay Shields. In addition, the Board was provided data comparing the advisory fees and estimated operating expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, as applicable) of the New Fund with expenses and performance of other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives and policies. The Trustees also considered their personal experiences as Trustees and participants in the ETF and
Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
mutual fund industry, as applicable, including their experiences with the Advisor in respect of series of the Trust and IndexIQ ETF Trust.
In particular, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees, considered and discussed the following with respect to the New Fund:
1.
The nature, extent, and quality of the facilities and services to be provided to the New Fund by IndexIQ and MacKay Shields. The Independent Trustees reviewed the services that IndexIQ and MacKay Shields would provide to the New Fund. In connection with the investment advisory services to be provided to the New Fund, the Independent Trustees noted the responsibilities that IndexIQ and MacKay Shields would have as the New Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, including overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the New Fund’s securities portfolio, ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board, for daily monitoring and quarterly reporting to the Board, and the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the New Fund.
The Independent Trustees considered IndexIQ’s experience, resources, and strengths in managing other ETFs. The Independent Trustees reviewed MacKay Shields’ experience, resources, and strengths in managing other ETFs and investment mandates. Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Independent Trustees determined that the New Fund would likely benefit from the nature, quality, and extent of these services, as well as IndexIQ’s and MacKay Shields’ ability to render such services based on its experience, operations, and resources.
2.
Comparison of services to be provided and fees to be charged by IndexIQ and other investment advisers to similar clients, and the cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by IndexIQ and MacKay Shields from the relationship with the New Fund. The Independent Trustees then compared both the services to be rendered and the proposed fees to be paid pursuant to the Advisory Agreement Amendment with IndexIQ to contracts of other investment advisers with respect to similar ETFs. In particular, the Independent Trustees compared the New Fund’s proposed advisory fee and projected expense ratio for its first year of operations to other ETFs in the New Fund’s peer group. The Independent Trustees also considered that the New Fund will have in place an Expense Limitation Agreement to limit the total operating expenses for a period of at least one year.
The Independent Trustees also considered that IndexIQ would pay the sub-advisory fee to MacKay Shields pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement Amendment. They considered the level of such sub-advisory fee in the context of the services to be provided by MacKay Shields to the New Fund.
After comparing the New Fund’s proposed fee with those of other funds in the New Fund’s peer group, and in light of the nature, quality, and extent of services proposed to be provided by IndexIQ and MacKay Shields and the costs expected to be incurred by IndexIQ and MacKay Shields in rendering those services, the Independent Trustees concluded that the fee proposed to be paid to IndexIQ and MacKay Shields with respect to the New Fund was fair and reasonable.
3.
IndexIQ’s and MacKay Shields’ profitability and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Fund grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale. The Independent Trustees next considered potential economies of scale and the anticipated costs and projected profitability of IndexIQ and MacKay Shields in connection with its serving as investment adviser and sub-adviser, respectively to the New Fund, including operational costs. Due to the fact that the New Fund had not yet commenced operations at the time, the Independent Trustees made no determination with respect to economies of scale or the impact of the New Fund on IndexIQ’s or MacKay Shields’ profitability.
4.
Investment performance of IndexIQ and MacKay Shields. Because the New Fund has not commenced operations, the Independent Trustees could not consider the investment performance of the New Fund, but did take into account the experience of MacKay Shields and the investment strategy developed for the New Fund by MacKay Shields.
Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Independent Trustees. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Independent Trustees concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and the Subadvisory Agreement Amendment with MacKay Shields were reasonable and fair to the New Fund and to recommend to the Board the approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and Subadvisory Agreement Amendment.
As a result, all of the Board members, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Advisory Agreement Amendment and the Subadvisory Agreement Amendment are each in the best interests of the New Fund and its shareholders.
Approvals Relating to the IQ Winslow Large Cap Growth ETF and IQ Winslow Focused Large Cap Growth ETF (the “New Funds”)
The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) met by videoconference on March 30, 2022, pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Investment Management temporarily exempting fund boards from the in-person approval requirements of certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), in light of the impact of COVID-19. The Board met to consider the approval of an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement Amendment”) and a new Subadvisory Agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”), each with respect to the New Funds. The Board noted that the Advisory Agreement Amendment was between the Trust and IndexIQ Advisors LLC (“IndexIQ” or the “Advisor”), while the Subadvisory Agreement was between the Advisor and Winslow Capital Management, LLC (“Winslow” or the “Sub-Advisor”).
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Advisor and Winslow relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Agreement Amendment and the Subadvisory Agreement. In connection with considering approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and the Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), met in executive session with counsel to the Trust and counsel to the Independent Trustees, who provided assistance and advice. The consideration of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and Subadvisory Agreement was conducted by both the full Board and the Independent Trustees, who also voted separately.
During their review and consideration, the Board and the Independent Trustees focused on and analyzed the factors they deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality, and extent of the services that the Advisor and Winslow will provide to the New Funds, and the fees that the Advisor will charge to the New Funds; (2) information concerning the business and operations, compliance program and portfolio management teams of the Advisor and Winslow; (3) information describing the New Funds’ anticipated operating expenses; (4) data comparing the proposed fee rate for advisory services to be charged to the New Funds and the expected expense ratios to fees paid by and expense ratios of other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives and policies as those of the New Funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Funds grow; (6) any “fall-out” benefits to be derived by the Advisor or Winslow from its relationship with the Trust; and (7) potential conflicts of interest. The Board considered that the New Funds are actively managed semi-transparent exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).
In reviewing such factors, the Board relied on certain information, including (1) a copy of the Advisory Agreement Amendment; (2) a copy of the Subadvisory Agreement; (3) information about applicable expense limitation and fee waiver agreements; (4) information describing the Advisor and Winslow and the services provided thereby; (5) information regarding the respective compliance program of the Advisor and Winslow; (6) information regarding the portfolio management team of Winslow; (7) copies of the Form ADV for each of the Advisor and Winslow; (8) memoranda and guidance from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees on the fiduciary responsibilities of trustees, including Independent Trustees, in considering advisory and distribution agreements under the 1940 Act; (9) materials provided by each of the Advisor and Winslow in response to a 15(c) request for information from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees; and (10) a presentation, via videoconference, by personnel of the Advisor and Winslow. In addition, the Board was provided data comparing the advisory fees and estimated operating expenses (including acquired fund fees

and expenses, as applicable) of the New Funds with expenses and performance of other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives and policies. The Trustees also considered their personal experiences as Trustees and participants in the ETF and mutual fund industry, as applicable, including their experiences with the Advisor in respect of series of the Trust and IndexIQ ETF Trust.
In particular, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees, considered and discussed the following with respect to the New Funds:
1.
The nature, extent, and quality of the facilities and services to be provided to the New Funds by IndexIQ and Winslow. The Independent Trustees reviewed the services that IndexIQ and Winslow would provide to the New Funds. In connection with the investment advisory services to be provided to the New Funds, the Independent Trustees noted the responsibilities that IndexIQ and Winslow would have as the New Funds’ investment adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, including overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the New Funds’ securities portfolios, ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board, for daily monitoring and quarterly reporting to the Board, and the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the New Funds.
The Independent Trustees considered IndexIQ’s experience, resources, and strengths in managing other ETFs. The Independent Trustees reviewed Winslow’s experience, resources, and strengths in managing other registered investment companies and investment mandates. Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Independent Trustees determined that the New Funds would likely benefit from the nature, quality, and extent of these services, as well as IndexIQ’s and Winslow’s ability to render such services based on its experience, operations, and resources.
2.
Comparison of services to be provided and fees to be charged by IndexIQ and other investment advisers to similar clients, and the cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by IndexIQ and Winslow from the relationship with the New Funds. The Independent Trustees then compared both the services to be rendered and the proposed fees to be paid pursuant to the Advisory Agreement Amendment with IndexIQ to contracts of other investment advisers with respect to similar ETFs. In particular, the Independent Trustees compared the New Funds’ proposed advisory fees and projected expense ratios for their first year of operations to other ETFs in the New Funds’ respective peer group. The Independent Trustees also considered that the New Funds will have in place an Expense Limitation Agreement to limit the total operating expenses for a period of at least one year and that Winslow had agreed to voluntarily waive or reduce its fees proportionally with respect to such Expense Limitation Agreement.
The Independent Trustees also considered that IndexIQ would pay the sub-advisory fee to Winslow pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement. They considered the level of such sub-advisory fee in the context of the services to be provided by Winslow to the New Funds.
After comparing the New Funds’ proposed fees with those of other funds in the New Funds’ respective peer group, and in light of the nature, quality, and extent of services proposed to be provided by IndexIQ and Winslow and the costs expected to be incurred by IndexIQ and Winslow in rendering those services, the Independent Trustees concluded that the fees proposed to be paid to IndexIQ and Winslow with respect to the New Funds were fair and reasonable.
3.
IndexIQ’s and Winslow’s profitability and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Funds grow and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale. The Independent Trustees next considered potential economies of scale and the anticipated costs and projected profitability of IndexIQ and Winslow in connection with its serving as investment adviser and sub-adviser, respectively to the New Funds, including operational costs. Due to the fact that the New Funds had not yet commenced operations at the time, the Independent Trustees made no determination with respect to economies of scale or the impact of the New Funds on IndexIQ’s or Winslow’s profitability.
4.
Investment performance of IndexIQ and Winslow. Because the New Funds have not commenced operations, the Independent Trustees could not consider the investment performance of the New Funds,
Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
but did take into account the experience of Winslow and the investment strategies developed for the New Funds by Winslow.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Independent Trustees. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Independent Trustees concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and the Subadvisory Agreement with Winslow were reasonable and fair to the New Funds and to recommend to the Board the approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and Subadvisory Agreement.
As a result, all of the Board members, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Advisory Agreement Amendment and the Subadvisory Agreement are each in the best interests of the New Funds and their shareholders.
Approval Relating To Annual Continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) met by videoconference on March 30, 2022, pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Investment Management temporarily exempting fund boards from the in-person approval requirements of certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), in light of the impact of COVID-19. The Board met to consider the approval of the continuation, for an additional year, of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the series of the Trust for which the agreement applies (the “Funds”). The Board noted that the Advisory Agreement was between the Trust and IndexIQ Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”). In addition, the Board considered the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and MacKay Shields LLC (“MacKay”), with respect to the IQ MacKay Municipal Insured ETF, IQ MacKay Municipal Intermediate ETF and IQ MacKay Municipal Short Duration ETF and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and NYL Investors LLC (“NYL Investors”), with respect to the IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF (MacKay and NYL Investors, collectively, the “Sub-Advisors” and each a “Sub-Advisor”).
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Advisor relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds, and from the Sub-Advisors and the Advisor relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the continuation of each Sub-Advisory Agreement as it relates to IQ MacKay Municipal Insured ETF, IQ MacKay Municipal Intermediate ETF, IQ MacKay Municipal Short Duration ETF and IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF (each a “Sub-Advised Fund” and collectively, the “Sub-Advised Funds”). In connection with considering approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), met in executive session with counsel to the Trust and counsel to the Independent Trustees, who provided assistance and advice. The consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements was conducted by both the full Board and the Independent Trustees, who also voted separately.
During their review and consideration, the Board and the Independent Trustees focused on and analyzed the factors they deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds and by MacKay and NYL Investors with respect to the Sub-Advised Funds, and the fees charged by the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor; (2) information concerning the business and operations, compliance program and portfolio management team of the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor; (3) the expense levels of each Fund; (4) the investment performance of the Funds; (5) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Trust, including expense limitation agreements and fee waiver agreements between the Advisor and certain Funds; (6) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows; (7) any “fall-out” benefits derived or to be derived by the Advisor or each Sub-Advisor from their relationships with the Trust; and (8) potential conflicts of interest. The Board considered that the Funds were actively managed exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).
In reviewing such factors, the Board relied on certain information, including (1) a copy of the Advisory Agreement; (2) a copy of each Sub-Advisory Agreement; (3) information about applicable expense limitation
Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
and fee waiver agreements; (4) information describing the Advisor, MacKay and NYL Investors and the services provided thereby; (5) information regarding the respective compliance program and portfolio management teams of the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor; (6) copies of the Form ADV for each of the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor; (7) memoranda and guidance from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees on the fiduciary responsibilities of trustees, including Independent Trustees, in considering advisory and distribution agreements under the 1940 Act; (8) materials provided by each of the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor in response to a 15(c) request for information from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees; and (9) a presentation, via videoconference, by personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Board was provided data comparing the advisory fees and operating expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, as applicable) of the Funds with expenses and performance of other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives and policies. The Trustees also considered their personal experiences as Trustees and participants in the ETF and mutual fund industry, as applicable, including their experiences with the Advisor in respect of series of the Trust and IndexIQ ETF Trust.
In particular, the Trustees including the Independent Trustees, considered and discussed the following with respect to the Funds:
1.
The nature, extent and quality of the facilities and services provided by the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor. The Board reviewed the services that the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor provide to the respective Funds, noting that they had continually reviewed and overseen such services throughout the past year. The Board noted the responsibilities that the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors have as the investment advisor and sub-advisors to the respective Funds, including overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of each Fund’s securities portfolio, monitoring fund compliance with regulatory requirements and Fund objectives and policies, daily monitoring of the portfolio, overseeing Fund service providers, providing officers for the Funds, ongoing reporting to the Board, and the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Funds. For the Fund that is not yet operational, the Board considered the services rendered in respect of the existing Funds in assessing services expected to be provided to the non-operational Fund.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s and each Sub-Advisors’ experience, resources, and strengths in managing ETFs and other investment mandates, including the Advisor’s management of the Funds and the funds of the IndexIQ ETF Trust. The Board also considered the experience of each Sub-Advisor’s team in managing strategies and asset classes similar to the Sub-Advised Funds, and their tenure in managing the portfolios of the operational Sub-Advised Funds. The Board also noted and discussed with the Advisor the resources and additional support and personnel from its affiliates New York Life Investment Management LLC (“NYLIM”) and New York Life Insurance Company, which resources enhance and support the work of the Advisor’s officers and staff. The Board also considered the tenure and experience of the personnel at the Advisor providing management and administrative services to the Funds. The Board also considered the Advisor’s marketing and distribution strategy, including the various services engaged by the Advisor in seeking to market and grow assets in the Funds.
Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Board concluded that each Fund was likely to continue to benefit from the nature, quality, and extent of these services, as well as the Advisor’s and each Sub-Advisor’s ability to render such services based on its personnel, experience, operations, and resources.
2.
Comparison of services provided and fees charged by the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor and other investment advisors to similar clients, and the cost of the services provided and profits realized by the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor from their relationships with the respective Funds. The Board then compared both the services rendered and the fees paid with respect to the Funds pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement to contracts of other registered investment advisors providing services to similar ETFs. The Board also considered that the Advisor is responsible for payment of the sub-advisory fee to the Sub-Advisors pursuant to each Sub-Advisory Agreement, and that shareholders of the Sub-Advised Funds do not directly pay the sub-advisory fee.
Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
In particular, the Board compared each Fund’s advisory fee and expense ratio (including acquired fund fees and expenses, as applicable) to other investment companies considered to be in each such Fund’s peer group. The Advisor presented information on how peer groups were selected for the Funds and explained that peer groups were selected using an objective methodology by a NYLIM team.
The Board noted that certain Funds had peer groups of limited size and, in certain cases, with substantial differences in portfolio management and operational costs. The Board was presented with information describing the Funds’ performance and fees, with information relative to peer groups. The Board considered unique characteristics of certain Funds relative to peer groups, particularly where such Funds had fee or total expense ratios that diverged from the median levels of the applicable peer group. The Board also discussed price pressure in the general ETF marketplace and the impact of market pressures on the price levels for actively managed ETFs such as the Funds. The Board considered the level of each of the fees under the Advisory Agreement in the context of the services being provided.
Additionally, the Trustees considered that the Advisor had put in place expense limitation agreements whereby the Advisor reimburses expenses and/or waives fees to limit the impact above set thresholds of certain expenses on shareholders of the Funds. The Board noted that such expense limitation agreements were reflected in the peer group analysis provided by the Advisor. The Board further noted that the Advisor was proposing permanent expense limitation and/or fee waiver agreements for certain Funds, which were subject to termination by the Board.
After comparing each Fund’s fees with those of other investment companies in the Fund’s peer group, and in light of the nature, quality, and extent of services provided by the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor and the costs incurred by the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor in rendering those services, the Board concluded that the level of fees paid (or proposed to be paid) to the Advisor with respect to each Fund and to the Sub-Advisors with respect to each Sub-Advised Fund, is fair and reasonable.
3.
The Advisor’s, MacKay’s and NYL Investors’ profitability and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale. The Board discussed with the Advisor the costs and profitability of the Advisor in connection with its serving as investment advisor to each Fund, including operational costs. The Board also discussed additional resources available to the Advisor as part of a larger organization, including the investment of financial and human resources into the Advisor and additional support to market and distribute the Funds.
The Board considered information regarding the strategy of the Advisor to grow assets in the Funds during the calendar year, including the marketing and distribution details that were provided in the Board materials. The Board reviewed the net asset levels of the Funds and the impact of both high and low asset levels on such Funds. The Advisor presented to the Board information on the operating profits on a year over year basis. The Board also considered the impact of future asset growth on the services required and fees paid to each Sub-Advisor, noting again that such fees were paid by the Advisor out of its management fees. The Board considered whether the continued operation of certain Funds that had not attracted significant assets under management would be profitable to the Advisor and determined to continue to review the asset levels of the Funds in relation to the Advisor’s profitability. The Board also noted the existence of the Expense Limitation Agreement, and its respective impact on costs to shareholders and profitability of the Advisor.
The Board noted that IQ MacKay Municipal Short Duration ETF had not yet commenced operations, and therefore no direct historical profitability data was available for consideration for such Fund.
The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors, respectively, were reasonable when considering the relative asset levels and profitability of the Funds to the Advisor.
4.
Investment performance of the Funds. The Board considered the investment performance of the existing Funds. In particular, the Board considered the investment performance of the Funds relative to their stated objectives and the success of the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor in reaching such objectives. The Board considered each Fund’s investment performance compared to its benchmark and peer group. The Board
Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
also considered that IQ MacKay Municipal Short Duration ETF had not yet commenced operations, and therefore had no performance or operational history to consider.
The Board concluded that the investment performance of the Funds supported the approval of the Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement.
The Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information, both at the meeting and in its ongoing oversight of the Funds, to make an informed business decision with respect to the Advisory Agreement for the Funds and, with respect to the Sub-Advised Funds, the Sub-Advisory Agreements. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, and while no single factor was determinative in the decision, the Independent Trustees concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor were reasonable and fair to the Funds and to recommend to the Board the approval of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements. As a result, all of the Board members, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and continuation of each Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Board and the Independent Trustees, voting separately, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements for an additional one-year period.

Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Audit Fees
| (a) | The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the 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 are $93,200 for 2022 and $60,000 for 2021. |
Audit-Related Fees
| (b) | The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant's financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item are $0 for 2022 and $0 for 2021. |
Tax Fees
| (c) | The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning are $0 for 2022 and $0 for 2021. |
All Other Fees
| (d) | The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item are $0 for 2022 and $0 for 2021. |
| (e)(1) | Per Rule 2-01(c)(7)(A), the Audit Committee pre-approves all of the Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and Other Fees of the Registrant. |

| (f) | The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees was less than fifty percent. |
| (g) | The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the principal accountant for services rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadvisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were (i) approximately $12,492,273 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022, and (ii) $12,740,582 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021. |
| (h) | The registrant’s Audit Committee has determined that the non-audit services rendered by the principal accountant for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022 to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the registrant’s investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee because they did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant were compatible with maintaining the respective independence of the principal accountant during the relevant time period. |
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
| (a) | The Fund has a designated Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the members of such committee are Michael Pignataro and Paul Schaeffer. |
