Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
FlexShares® Trust (the “Trust”), a Maryland statutory trust, was formed on May 13, 2010, originally named NT ETF Trust and renamed FlexShares® Trust as of April 12, 2011. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended. The Trust consists of twenty-nine operational exchange-traded funds as of April 30, 2024 (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).
FlexShares® ESG & Climate US Large Cap Core Index Fund, FlexShares® ESG & Climate Developed Markets ex-US Core Index Fund, and FlexShares® ESG & Climate Investment Grade Corporate Core Index Fund are non-diversified series of the Trust, pursuant to the 1940 Act. Each of the other Funds are diversified series of the Trust, pursuant to the 1940 Act.
Each Fund, except the FlexShares® Ultra-Short Income Fund and the FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund, seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of a specified benchmark index (each an “Underlying Index”). The FlexShares® US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Developed Markets ex-US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Emerging Markets Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® US Quality Large Cap Index Fund, FlexShares® Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund, FlexShares® Real Assets Allocation Index Fund, FlexShares® Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Dynamic Index Fund, FlexShares® Credit-Scored US Corporate Bond Index Fund, FlexShares® Credit-Scored US Long Corporate Bond Index Fund, FlexShares® High Yield Value-Scored Bond Index Fund, FlexShares® ESG & Climate US Large Cap Core Index Fund, FlexShares® ESG & Climate Developed Markets ex-US Core Index Fund, and the FlexShares® ESG & Climate Investment Grade Corporate Core Index Fund seek to track Underlying Indexes developed by Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (“NTI” or “Investment Adviser”), an indirect subsidiary of Northern Trust Corporation. The FlexShares® Morningstar
US Market Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Developed Markets ex-US Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Emerging Markets Factor Tilt Index Fund and FlexShares® Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index Fund seek to track Underlying Indexes sponsored by Morningstar, Inc. The FlexShares® STOXX® US ESG Select Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® Global ESG Select Index Fund, and FlexShares® STOXX® Global Broad Infrastructure Index Fund seek to track Underlying Indexes sponsored by STOXX. The FlexShares® iBoxx 3-Year Target Duration TIPS Index Fund and FlexShares® iBoxx 5-Year Target Duration TIPS Index Fund seek to track Underlying Indexes sponsored by Markit Indexes Limited. The FlexShares® Disciplined Duration MBS Index Fund seeks to track an Underlying Index sponsored by ICE Data Indexes, LLC.
The FlexShares® Real Assets Allocation Index Fund is a fund of funds that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in the shares of other FlexShares® ETFs that are eligible for inclusion in its Underlying Index, rather than in securities of individual companies. The FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade fixed-income securities either directly or indirectly through ETFs and other registered investment companies. The investment performance of each of the FlexShares® Real Assets Allocation Index Fund and FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund is directly related to the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests (“Underlying Fund”).
The FlexShares® Ultra-Short Income Fund and the FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund are actively managed and do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The FlexShares® Ultra-Short Income Fund seeks maximum current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund seeks total return and preservation of capital. Each Fund, except the FlexShares® Ultra-Short Income Fund and the FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund, is referred to herein as an “Index Fund.” Each Fund is managed by the Investment Adviser.

Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Trust, which is an investment company, follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation
Each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading, based on prices at the time of closing provided that any U.S. fixed-income assets may be valued as of the announced closing time for trading in fixed-income instruments on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association announces an early closing time. The NAV of a Fund is calculated by dividing the value of all assets of the Fund (including accrued interest and dividends), less all liabilities (including accrued expenses and dividends declared but unpaid), by the total number of shares outstanding.
The investments of the Funds are valued at fair value pursuant to the pricing policy and procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”). The Funds’ investments are valued using market quotations when available. The Board has designated NTI as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act to perform fair value determinations relating to any or all Fund investments. Accordingly, when market quotations are not readily available, are deemed unreliable, or do not reflect material events occurring between the close of local markets and the time of valuation, NTI values Fund securities at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures as approved by the Board. Such
circumstances include periods when trading in a security is suspended, the exchange or market on which a security trades closes early, the trading volume in a security is limited, corporate actions and announcements take place, or regulatory news affecting an issuer is released, such as government approvals. The Board oversees NTI in its role as valuation designee in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Additionally, NTI, in its discretion, may make adjustments to the prices of securities held by a Fund if an event occurs after the publication of market values normally used by NTI on behalf of a Fund but before the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV, depending on the nature and significance of the event, consistent with applicable regulatory guidance and the Trust’s fair value procedures. Other events that can trigger fair valuing of foreign securities include, for example, significant fluctuations in general market indicators, government actions, or natural disasters.
The use of fair valuation involves the risk that the values used by NTI to price a Fund’s investments may be higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a portfolio security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate an Index Fund’s NAV and the prices used by an Index Fund’s Underlying Index. This difference may adversely affect an Index Fund’s ability to track its Underlying Index. Portfolio securities of certain Funds are listed on foreign exchanges and their value may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or sell Fund shares.
Security prices are generally provided by independent pricing services. Portfolio securities listed or traded on domestic securities exchanges or the NASDAQ/NMS, including dollar-denominated foreign securities or American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), are valued at the closing price, or last sale price, reported on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. The closing price for securities traded on the NASDAQ/NMS is the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there have been no sales for that day on

Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, then the value is determined with reference to the last sale price, or the NOCP, if applicable, on any other exchange or system. If there have been no sales of the security for that day on any exchange or system, the security is valued at fair value pursuant to the Trust’s fair value procedures.
Securities that are traded regularly in the over-the-counter market (other than the NASDAQ/NMS), including securities listed on exchanges but primarily traded over-the-counter, are valued on the basis of bid quotes or the mean between the bid and asked quotes based upon quotes furnished by one or more broker-dealers or market makers for those securities. Securities that may be traded over-the-counter include equity securities, fixed-income securities, non-exchange-listed foreign securities, and certain derivative instruments. Fixed-income securities may be valued using prices provided directly from one or more broker-dealers, market makers, or independent third-party pricing services which may use matrix pricing and valuation models, as well as recent market transactions for the same or similar assets, to derive values when such prices are believed to reflect fair market values of such securities. Such prices may be determined by taking into account securities prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings, prepayment speeds, credit risks, cash flows, institutional size trading in similar groups of securities and developments related to specific securities. Fixed-income securities maturing within a relatively short period, less than 60 days, are valued at amortized cost when it approximates fair value.
Foreign equity securities are generally priced at the closing price or last sales price reported on the foreign exchange on which they are principally traded. If there have been no sales for that day on the primary exchange, then the value is determined with reference to the last sale price on any other exchange. If there have been no sales of the security for that day on any exchange, the security will be valued at fair value pursuant to the Trust’s fair value procedures. Spot and forward foreign currency exchange contracts generally are valued using an independent pricing service. The value of assets denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by NTI as
Investment Adviser. Any use of a different rate from the rates used by an Underlying Index’s index provider may adversely affect an Index Fund’s ability to track its Underlying Index. An Underlying Index’s index provider determines the composition and relative weightings of the securities in the Underlying Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Underlying Index.
Exchange-traded financial futures and options thereon are valued at the settlement price as established by the exchange on which they are traded. Over-the-counter options are valued at broker-provided bid prices, as are swaps. The foregoing prices may be obtained from one or more independent pricing services or, as needed or applicable, independent broker-dealers. If there was no sale on that day, and for other non-exchange traded derivatives, the contract is valued at fair value pursuant to the Trust’s fair value procedures.
Each Fund relies on various sources to calculate its NAV. The ability of the Funds’ administrator to calculate the NAV per share of the Funds is subject to operational risks associated with processing or human errors, systems or technology failures, and errors caused by third party service providers, data sources, or trading counterparties. Such failures may result in delays in the calculation of the Funds’ NAVs and/or the inability to calculate NAV over extended time periods. The Funds may be unable to recover any losses associated with such failures, and it may be necessary for alternative procedures to be followed to price portfolio securities when determining the Funds’ NAVs.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets on the measurement date. |
| • | | Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
| • | | Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
| | | | |

Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term debt securities may be valued at amortized cost, as long as
amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
The following is a summary of the valuations as of April 30, 2024 for each Fund based upon the three levels defined above. The value of level 3 securities compared to the total Fund net assets is not material and, therefore, the reconciliation of Level 3 securities and related valuation techniques are not disclosed. Please refer to the Schedules of Investments to view equity and debt securities segregated by industry type, where applicable.

investment in its Underlying Funds), FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Dynamic Index Fund, and the FlexShares® ESG & Climate Developed Markets ex-US Core Index Fund invest in publicly-traded equity securities of issuers in countries other than the United States of America (“U.S.”). Such investments include direct investments in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities traded outside the U.S. The Funds’ investments in foreign securities also may be in the form of ADRs and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) (collectively, “Depositary Receipts”) based on securities in their Underlying Indexes. ADRs are receipts that are traded in the United States evidencing ownership of the underlying foreign securities and are denominated in U.S. dollars. GDRs are receipts issued by a non-U.S. financial institution evidencing ownership of underlying foreign or U.S. securities and usually are denominated in foreign currencies. GDRs may not be denominated in the same currency as the securities they represent. Generally, GDRs are designed for use in foreign securities markets.
In addition to investment risks associated with the underlying issuer, ADRs and GDRs expose a Fund to risk associated with non-uniform terms that apply to ADR and GDR programs, credit exposure to the depository bank and to the sponsors and other parties with whom the depository bank establishes the programs, currency and liquidity risk. ADRs and GDRs are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted.
To the extent a Fund invests in ADRs, such ADRs will be listed on a national securities exchange. To the extent a Fund invests in GDRs, such GDRs will be listed on a foreign exchange. A Fund will not invest in any unlisted Depositary Receipt, any Depositary Receipt that NTI deems to be illiquid or any Depositary Receipt for which market quotations are not readily available. Generally, all Depositary Receipts must be sponsored.
The FlexShares® Credit-Scored US Corporate Bond Index Fund, FlexShares® Credit-Scored US Long Corporate Bond Index Fund, FlexShares® High Yield Value-Scored Bond Index Fund and the FlexShares® ESG & Climate Investment Grade Corporate Core Index Fund may invest in U.S. dollar
denominated bonds of non-U.S. corporations to the extent such bonds are included in each Fund’s Underlying Index. The FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund may invest in U.S. dollar denominated bonds of non-U.S. corporations, either directly or indirectly through Underlying Funds, to achieve its investment objective.
The FlexShares® Ultra-Short Income Fund may invest, without limitation, in fixed-income securities and instruments of foreign issuers in developed and emerging markets, including debt securities of foreign governments.
Investing in foreign securities, including Depositary Receipts, may result in a Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in U.S. securities, due to less liquid markets, and adverse economic, political, diplomatic, financial, and regulatory factors. Foreign governments also may impose taxes and limits on investment and repatriation. Any of these events could cause the value of a Fund’s foreign investment to decline. To the extent that a Fund’s assets are significantly invested in a single country or geographic region, a Fund will be subject to the risks associated with that particular country or region.
The FlexShares® Emerging Markets Quality Low Volatility Fund, and FlexShares® Morningstar Emerging Markets Factor Tilt Index Fund will invest primarily in emerging market countries. In addition, the FlexShares® Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® Global Broad Infrastructure Index Fund, FlexShares® Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund, FlexShares® Real Assets Allocation Index Fund (through its investment in its Underlying Funds), FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund, and the FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Dynamic Index Fund may invest its assets in emerging market countries. The FlexShares® Ultra-Short Income Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in fixed-income securities and instruments of issuers in emerging markets. The markets of emerging market countries are less developed and less liquid, subject to greater price volatility and generally subject to increased economic, political, regulatory and other uncertainties than more developed foreign markets. The risks of foreign

investment are increased when the issuer is located in a country with an emerging economy or securities market.
Inflation-Indexed Securities
The FlexShares® iBoxx 3-Year Target Duration TIPS Index Fund and the FlexShares® iBoxx 5-Year Target Duration TIPS Index Fund invest primarily in U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”).
TIPS have varying maturities and pay interest on a semiannual basis equal to a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount. If the periodic adjustment rate measuring inflation falls, the principal value of TIPS will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of TIPS, even during a period of deflation.
The value of TIPS is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates in turn are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if the rate of inflation rises at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates might decline, leading to an increase in value of TIPS. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a decrease in value of TIPS. Any increase in the principal amount of TIPS will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
While these securities are expected to be protected from long-term inflationary trends, short-term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in value. If interest rates rise due to reasons other than inflation, investors in these securities may not be protected to the extent that the increase is not reflected in the TIPS’ inflation measure.
The periodic adjustment of TIPS is tied to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”), which is calculated monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI-U is a measurement of changes in the cost of living, made up of components such as housing, food, trans-
portation and energy. There can be no assurance that the CPI-U will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services.
Mortgage-Backed Pass-Through Securities
The FlexShares® Disciplined Duration MBS Index Fund invests primarily in U.S. agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities (“MBS”), a category of pass-through securities backed by pools of mortgages and issued by one of the following U.S. government agencies: the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac) or the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae) (each a “US Agency”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in the securities of its Underlying Index and in “to-be announced transactions” (“TBA transactions”) that represent securities in its Underlying Index. In a TBA transaction, the buyer and seller agree upon general trade parameters such as agency, coupon rate, settlement date, par amount and price. The actual pools delivered generally are determined two days prior to settlement.
Pending settlement of such TBA contracts, the FlexShares® Disciplined Duration MBS Index Fund will invest in liquid, short-term instruments. The FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund may also invest either directly or through its Underlying Funds in MBS, including TBA transactions.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls
The FlexShares® Disciplined Duration MBS Index Fund, the FlexShares® Ultra-Short Income Fund and the FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund (directly or through its Underlying Funds) may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions. A mortgage dollar roll involves the sale by the Fund of securities for delivery in the future (generally within 30 days). The Fund simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund will not be entitled to accrue interest and receive principal payments on the securities sold. However, the Fund benefits to the extent of any difference between (a) the price received for the securities sold and (b) the lower forward price for the future
| | | | | | |
| | FLEXSHARES SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 415 | |
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
purchase and/or fee income plus the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the securities sold. Successful use of mortgage dollar rolls depends upon the Investment Adviser’s ability to predict correctly interest rates and mortgage prepayments. The use of this technique may diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared with what such performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls.
For financial reporting and tax purposes, a Fund treats mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions: one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. The Fund currently does not intend to enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing and does not treat them as borrowings.
Repurchase Agreements
To the extent consistent with its investment policies, each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements under which it purchases securities (collateral) for cash from a seller and agrees to resell those securities to the same seller within a specified time at a specified price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the market value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, is required to equal or exceed the market value of the repurchase agreement. The underlying collateral for tri-party repurchase agreements is held in accounts at JPMorgan Chase, the Fund’s custodian, and is not reflected in the assets of the Funds, at the Bank of New York or JPMorgan Chase which, in turn, holds securities through the book-entry system at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Fund is subject to credit risk on repurchase agreements to the extent that the counterparty fails to perform under the agreement and the value of the collateral received falls below the agreed repurchase price.
The Northern Trust Company, the parent of NTI, currently is a party to various Master Repurchase Agreements with a number of different counterparties, and acts as agent on behalf of various disclosed principals, including the Funds and various other accounts managed by NTI, in entering into repurchase agreements under the Master Repurchase Agreements. NTI administers and manages these repurchase agreements in accordance with and as part of its duties under its investment advisory agreement with the Funds and
does not collect any additional fees from the Funds for such services. As of April 30, 2024, none of the Funds presented in these financial statements had repurchase agreements outstanding except as discussed below.
As of April 30, 2024, the FlexShares® US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Developed Markets ex-US Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar US Market Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Developed Markets ex-US Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Emerging Markets Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® US Quality Large Cap Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® Global ESG Select Index Fund, FlexShares® ESG & Climate Developed Markets ex-US Core Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® Global Broad Infrastructure Index Fund, FlexShares® Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund, FlexShares® Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Dynamic Index Fund, FlexShares® Credit-Scored US Corporate Bond Index Fund, FlexShares® High Yield Value-Scored Bond Index Fund, and the FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund invested cash collateral for loans of portfolio securities in repurchase agreements, as reflected in the respective Schedule of Investments under the caption “Securities Lending Reinvestments.”

Securities Lending
Each Fund may lend securities to banks, brokers and dealers or other qualified institutions. In exchange, the Fund is required to receive minimum initial collateral value as follows:
| | | | |
Type of Loan | | Minimum Initial Collateral Requirement | |
| |
U.S. dollar denominated securities secured by U.S. dollar denominated government securities or cash collateral | | | 102 | % |
| |
U.S. dollar denominated securities secured by non-U.S. dollar denominated government securities or cash collateral | | | 105 | % |
| |
Non-U.S. dollar denominated securities secured by government securities or cash collateral in the same denomination as the lent securities | | | 102 | % |
| |
Non-U.S. dollar denominated securities secured by government securities or cash collateral in the different denomination from the lent securities | | | 105 | % |
| |
U.S. dollar and Non-U.S. dollar denominated securities secured by equity securities collateral | | | 105 | % |
The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. The collateral amount is valued at the beginning of each business day and is compared to the market value of the loaned securities from the prior business day to determine if additional collateral is required. If additional collateral is required, a request is sent to the borrower.
Securities lending may represent no more than one-third of the value of a Fund’s total assets (including the loan collateral). JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Securities Lending Agent”) serves as the securities lending agent for the securities lending program of a Fund.
Collateral for loans of portfolio securities made by a Fund may consist of cash, cash equivalents, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments or its agencies (or any combination thereof). Any cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with these
loans may be invested in a variety of short-term investments, either directly or indirectly through money market portfolios. The market value of securities on loan and the value of investments made with cash collateral received are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. Securities lending income includes income from the securities lending program recorded when earned from the Securities Lending Agent and any fees charged to borrowers less expenses associated with the loan. The net amount is reflected in the Statement of Operations under “Securities lending income (net of fees).” The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund, or excess collateral returned by the Fund, on the next business day.
When a Fund lends its securities, it will continue to receive payments equal to the dividends and interest paid on the securities loaned and simultaneously may earn interest on the investment of the cash collateral.
A Fund will have the right to terminate a loan at any time and recall the loaned securities within the normal and customary settlement time for securities transactions. A Fund does not have the right to vote securities on loan, but can terminate the loan and regain the right to vote if a material event affecting the securities occurred. A borrower might become insolvent or refuse to honor its obligation to return the securities. In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, the Securities Lending Agent will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities for the Fund by applying the collateral held from the defaulting borrower against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If the proceeds from the collateral are less than the purchase cost of the replacement securities, the Securities Lending Agent is responsible for such shortfall, subject to certain limitations that are set forth in detail in the Securities Lending Agency Agreement. In this event, a Fund could experience delays in recovering its securities and possibly may incur a capital loss. Each Fund will be responsible for any loss that might result from its investment of the cash collateral it receives from a borrower.

As of April 30, 2024, the Securities Lending Agency Agreement does not permit the Funds to enforce a netting arrangement.
The cash collateral received from securities loaned as disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities is collateralized by securities on loan as disclosed within the Schedules of Investments and such borrowings have maturities that are overnight and continuous.
Securities lending agreements may be subject to regulation as qualified financial contracts (“QFCs”). Regulations adopted by federal banking regulators under the Dodd-Frank Act, which took effect in 2019, require that certain QFCs with counterparties that are part of U.S. or foreign global systemically important banking organizations be amended to include contractual restrictions on close-out and cross-default rights. If a covered counterparty of a Fund or certain of the covered counterparty’s affiliates were to become subject to certain insolvency proceedings, the Fund may be temporarily unable to exercise certain default rights, and the QFC may be transferred to another entity. These requirements may impact a Fund’s credit and counterparty risks. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous.
Derivative Contracts
Futures Contracts
All of the Index Funds may invest in futures contracts to help track the price and yield performance of their Underlying Indexes. At the time a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is generally required to make a margin deposit with the custodian of a specified amount of liquid assets. Subsequent payments to be made or received by the Funds equal to the change in contract value are recorded as variation margin payable or receivable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. Futures are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in the unrealized gains or losses. A Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when a contract is closed or expires. The Statements of Operations reflect unrealized gains or losses on open futures contracts, as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts”, and any realized gains (losses) on closed futures contracts as “Net realized gain (loss) from Expiration or closing of futures contracts”.
| | | | |
418 | | FLEXSHARES SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | |
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
The FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund may take long or short positions in futures to manage the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk. The Fund seeks to mitigate the potential impact of interest rates on the performance of bonds by entering into short positions in U.S. Treasury futures or transactions in interest rate swaps. The Fund’s short positions in U.S. Treasury futures and interest rate swaps are not intended to mitigate credit spread risk or other factors influencing the price of bonds, which may have a greater impact than interest rates. In addition, when interest rates fall, long-only bond investments will perform better than the Fund’s investments. As of April 30, 2024, the FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund did not hold swaps.
As of April 30, 2024, the FlexShares® US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Developed Markets ex-US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Emerging Markets Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar US Market Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Developed Markets ex-US Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Emerging Markets Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® US Quality Large Cap Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® US ESG Select Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® Global ESG Select Index Fund, FlexShares® ESG & Climate US Large Cap Core Index Fund, FlexShares® ESG & Climate Developed Markets ex-US Core Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® Global Broad Infrastructure Index Fund, FlexShares® Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund, FlexShares® Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Dynamic Index Fund, and the FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund had open futures contracts.
The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk, which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts present the following risks: imperfect correlation between the change in market value of a Fund’s securities and the price of futures contracts; the possible inability to close a futures contract when desired;
losses due to unanticipated market movements, which potentially are unlimited; and the possible inability of NTI to correctly predict the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the volatility of a Fund’s NAV. As a result of the low margin deposits normally required in futures trading, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in substantial losses to a Fund. Futures contracts may be illiquid, and exchanges may limit fluctuations in futures contract prices during a single day. Foreign exchanges or boards of trade generally do not offer the same protection as U.S. exchanges.
Foreign Currency Translations
Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the prevailing market rates on the date of valuation as quoted by one or more banks or dealers that make a two-way market in such currencies (or a data service provider based on quotations received from such banks or dealers). Any use of a rate different from the rates used by an Underlying Index’s index provider may affect the corresponding Index Fund’s ability to track its Underlying Index. The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, interest and dividend income are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions” on the Statements of Operations include the effect of changes in exchange rates between trade date and settlement date on investment security transactions, foreign currency transactions and interest and dividends received, and the portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade date is included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investment in securities” on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses on assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, which result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates have been included in “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies” on the Statements of Operations.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The FlexShares® Developed Markets ex-US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Emerging Markets Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Developed Markets ex-US Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Emerging Markets Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® Global ESG Select Index Fund, FlexShares® ESG & Climate Developed Markets ex-US Core Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® Global Broad Infrastructure Index Fund, FlexShares® Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund, FlexShares® Real Assets Allocation Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Dynamic Index Fund, and the FlexShares® Ultra-Short Income Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate local settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with its distributions to shareholders. The FlexShares® Ultra-Short Income Fund also may engage in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes in order to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency exchange rates. The Funds, however, do not expect to engage in currency transactions for speculative purposes (e.g., for potential income or capital gain). All forward foreign currency exchange contracts held are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. The Funds record realized gains or losses at the time the forward foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering into a closing transaction or extinguished by delivery of the currency. The difference between the future foreign currency exchange rates at the date of entry into the contract and the rates at the reporting date are included in “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts” in the Statements of Operations. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. Dollars without the delivery of foreign currency.
There are several risks associated with these contracts. One risk is the potential inability of counterparties to meet the
terms of their contracts, and unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency exchange contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The Statements of Operations reflect (i) realized gains or losses, if any, in “Net realized gain (loss) from settlement of forward foreign currency contracts” and (ii) unrealized gains or losses in “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts”. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are privately negotiated transactions and can have substantial price volatility. As a result, they offer less protection against default by the other party than is available for instruments traded on an exchange. The institutions that deal in forward foreign currency exchange contracts are not required to continue to make markets in the currencies they trade, and these markets can experience periods of illiquidity.
As of April 30, 2024, the FlexShares® Developed Markets ex-US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Emerging Markets Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar® Developed Markets ex-US Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar® Emerging Markets Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® Global ESG Select Index Fund, FlexShares® ESG & Climate Developed Markets ex-US Core Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar® Global Upstream Natural Resources Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® Global Broad Infrastructure Index Fund, FlexShares® Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund and the FlexShares® International Quality Dividend Dynamic Index Fund had open forward foreign currency contracts.
Offsetting of Financial Assets and Derivative Assets
The Funds’ accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement or similar agreement does not result in an offset of
| | | | |
420 | | FLEXSHARES SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | |
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. In the event of a default, the agreement provides the right for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate the net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. The Funds’ right to setoff may be restricted or prohibited by the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the particular jurisdiction to which a specific master netting agreement counterparty is subject.
For financial reporting purposes, the Trust can offset financial assets and financial liabilities of the FlexShares® Developed Markets ex-US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund, FlexShares® Emerging Markets Quality Low Volatility Index

Taxes and Distributions
Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which includes distributing substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes is required in the financial statements.
As of October 30, 2023, management of the Funds has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months. On an ongoing basis management will monitor the
| | | | | | |
| | FLEXSHARES SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 431 | |
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
tax positions taken to determine if adjustment to conclusions are necessary based on factors including but not limited to further implementation on guidance expected from FASB and on-going analysis of tax law, regulation, and interpretations thereof.
3. Investment Transactions and Related Income and Expense
Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period.
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Bond discount is accreted and premium is amortized using the effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or as soon as information is available. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Each Fund except the FlexShares® iBoxx 3-Year Target Duration TIPs Index Fund, and the FlexShares® iBoxx 5-Year Target Duration TIPs Index Fund may hold the securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Distributions from such investments may be comprised of return of capital, capital gains and income. The actual character of amounts received during the year is not known until after the REIT’s fiscal year end. The Fund records the character of distributions received from REITs during the year based on estimates available. The characterization of distributions received by the Fund may be subsequently revised based on information received from the REITs after their tax reporting periods concluded.
All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which a Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and disclosed in the Statements of Operations. Foreign taxes payable, if any, are reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based
upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis.
4. Investment Advisory Fees
NTI serves as the Investment Adviser of the Funds pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Investment Adviser is responsible for making investment decisions for the Funds and for placing purchase and sale orders for portfolio securities, subject to the general supervision of the Board.
As compensation for its advisory services and assumption of certain Fund expenses, NTI is entitled to a unitary management fee (“Management Fee”), computed daily and payable monthly, at the annual rates set forth in the table below (expressed as a percentage of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets).
From the Management Fee, NTI pays most of the expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services (“Covered Expenses”). Covered Expenses do not include the following fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement: its advisory fees payable under the Advisory Agreement, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1, interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, fees and expenses of the independent trustees and their independent legal counsel, taxes and other extraordinary costs such as (i) dividend expenses on short sales; (ii) non-routine items, including litigation expenses and proxy expenses; and (iii) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay due to an expense offset agreement, if applicable.
The Management Fee rate payable by each Fund is set forth in the following table:

The Investment Adviser has contractually agreed until March 1, 2025 to reimburse a portion of the operating expenses of each Fund (other than Rule 12b-1 fees, tax expenses, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”)) so the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reimbursement” do not exceed the Fund’s Management Fee plus (+) 0.0049%. In the case of the FlexShares® Real Assets Allocation Index Fund, the Investment Adviser has contractually agreed until March 1, 2025 to waive Management Fees or reimburse certain expenses in an amount equal to the AFFE attributable to the Fund’s investments in its Underlying Funds. After these dates, the contractual arrangements will continue automatically thereafter for periods of one year (each such one-year period, a “Renewal Year”). The contractual arrangements may be terminated, with respect to a Fund, as to any succeeding Renewal Year, by NTI or the Fund upon 60 days’ written notice prior to the end of the current Renewal Year. The Board may terminate the arrangements at any time with respect to a Fund if it determines that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. In the case of the FlexShares® Core Select Bond Fund, the Investment Adviser has contractually agreed until March 1, 2025 to waive Management Fees or reimburse certain expenses in an amount equal
| | | | | | |
| | FLEXSHARES SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | | 433 | |
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
to the sum of (a) any AFFE incurred by the Fund that are attributable to the Fund’s investment in Underlying Funds managed by NTI or an investment adviser controlling, controlled by, or under common control with NTI (“Affiliated Funds”); and (b) 0.05% or such lesser amount in AFFE incurred by the Fund that are attributable to the Fund’s investment in Underlying Funds that are not Affiliated Funds. AFFE are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. Because AFFE are not direct expenses of a Fund, they are not reflected on a Fund’s financial statements. After these dates, the contractual expense reimbursement agreements continue automatically for periods of one year unless terminated, as to any succeeding renewal year, by either party upon 60 days’ written notice prior to the end of the current term. The Board may terminate the contractual expense reimbursement agreements discussed above with respect to any Fund at any time if it determines that it is in the best interest of a Fund and its shareholders. These expenses and the reimbursements are shown as “Investment advisory fees reimbursed” on the Statements of Operations.
The Investment Adviser may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional management fees or expenses. Any such additional voluntary expense reimbursement or fee waiver could be implemented, increased or decreased, or discontinued at any time. Amounts waived or reimbursed by the Investment Adviser pursuant to voluntary or contractual agreements discussed above may not be recouped by the Investment Adviser. These waivers and/or reimbursements are shown as “Investment advisory fees reimbursed” on the Statements of Operations. During the period ended April 30, 2024, the Investment Adviser voluntarily reimbursed additional management fees for FlexShares® Morningstar Emerging Markets Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® Credit-Scored US Long Corporate Bond Index Fund, and FlexShares® High Yield Value-Scored Bond Index Fund. The amounts of the voluntary reimbursements are $7,847, $16,693, $1,056, $2,167, $68,563 and $84,821 for the six months ended April 30, 2024 and fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, respectively. The Investment Adviser discontinued voluntarily reimbursing FlexShares® Morningstar Emerging Markets Factor Tilt Index Fund and FlexShares®
Credit-Scored US Long Corporate Bond Index Fund on January 1, 2024, and FlexShares® High Yield Value-Scored Bond Index Fund on February 1, 2024.

| | | | |
434 | | FLEXSHARES SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | |
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”) for its Trustees who are not officers of Northern Trust or NTI. Under the DC Plan, Independent Trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. The amount deferred is adjusted periodically based upon the performance of the investment options selected by the Trustees. The investment options currently available under the DC Plan are the FlexShares® Morningstar US Market Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Emerging Markets Factor Tilt Index Fund, FlexShares® STOXX® US ESG Select Index Fund, FlexShares® Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index Fund, FlexShares® Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund, FlexShares® Quality Dividend Index Fund, FlexShares® iBoxx 5-Year Target Duration TIPS Index Fund, FlexShares® High Yield Value-Scored Bond Index Fund and the FlexShares® Ultra-Short Income Fund.

9. Distribution and Service Plan
ACA Foreside, formerly known as Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as the Funds’ distributor and distributes Creation Units (as described in Note 9) for each Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not receive a fee from the Funds for its distribution services. However, it receives compensation from NTI for its services as distributor pursuant to a separate letter agreement between it and NTI.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (“the Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Payments to financial intermediaries under the Plan are tied directly to their own out-of-pocket expenses. The Plan has not been implemented with respect to the Funds. The Plan may not be implemented without further Board approval. The maximum distribution fee is 0.25% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets under the Plan. The Funds did not pay any 12b-1 fees during the fiscal year.
10. Issuance and Redemption of Fund Shares
Each Fund only issues and redeems shares to Authorized Participants in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash), in large blocks known as Creation Units, each of which is comprised of a specified number of shares.
Retail investors may only purchase and sell fund shares in the secondary market through a broker-dealer and such transactions may be subject to customary commission and fee rates imposed by the broker-dealer.
Authorized Participants may pay transaction fees to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. The transaction fees are paid directly to the Fund and used to offset Fund custody fees. Certain fees or costs associated with Creation Unit purchases may be paid by NTI in certain circumstances. In addition, the Trust may from time to time waive the standard transaction fee. The net custody fees charged to the Fund are paid for by the Investment Adviser through the Fund’s Unitary Fee. Transaction fees remaining in the Funds were as follows:

13. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business each Fund enters into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it
| | | | |
438 | | FLEXSHARES SEMIANNUAL REPORT | | |
Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds.
14. New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications and hedging transactions as a result of the global markets anticipated transition away the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021.
Preceding the issuance of ASU 2020-04, which established ASC 848, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced that it would no longer need to persuade or compel banks to submit to LIBOR after December 31, 2021. In response, the FASB established a December 31, 2022, expiration date for ASC 848.
In March 2021, the FCA announced that the intended cessation date of LIBOR in the United States would be June 30, 2023. Accordingly, ASU 2022-06 defers the expiration date of ASC 848 to December 31, 2024. Management does not believe this update has a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
15. Legal Proceedings
On or about February 14, 2020, Marc S. Kirschner, as Trustee for NWHI Litigation Trust (“Litigation Trustee”) and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as indenture Trustee (“Indenture Trustee”) for several series of notes issued by Nine West Holdings, Inc. (“Nine West”), filed separate complaints (docket nos. 20-cv-01129 and 20-cv-01136, respectively ) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against a group of defendants including the FlexShares® Morningstar US Market Factor Tilt Index Fund that had invested in The Jones Group Inc. (“Jones Group”). The claims in these actions stem from a series of merger transactions (“Transactions”) entered into by Jones Group, Nine West and others in 2014 that allegedly rendered Jones Group insolvent. The matters in these
proceedings were transferred from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to centralize the litigation, and were assigned to the Honorable Jed S. Rakoff for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. The FlexShares® Morningstar US Market Factor Tilt Index Fund allegedly received $224,910 as a result of the Transactions. The Litigation Trustee and Indenture Trustee seek to clawback these proceeds for the benefit of the Trust and the noteholders, respectively, on the basis that they were alleged fraudulent conveyances. On June 29, 2020, the former public shareholder defendants, including FlexShares® Morningstar US Market Factor Tilt Index Fund, filed a motion to dismiss on the basis that the payments allegedly made to them in connection with the Transactions were shielded from the fraudulent conveyance claims under Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. On August 27, 2020, all fraudulent conveyance claims against the former public shareholder defendants were dismissed. The Trustees appealed from that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On November 27, 2023, the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of the Trustees’ claims against the former Jones Group public shareholders, but reversed the judgment in favor of the former Jones Group directors, officers, and employees who received payment for their shares through Nine West’s payroll provider. Although certain of these former Jones Group employee shareholders petitioned the Second Circuit for rehearing of the appeal, the Trustees did not seek rehearing in connection with the dismissed claims against the former public shareholders. On January 3, 2024, the Second Circuit denied the employee shareholders’ petition for rehearing. On April 2, 2024, the employee shareholders filed a petition with the Supreme Court of the United States for a writ of certiorari. The Trustees elected not to oppose the petition or file a cross-petition. On May 13, 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States denied the employee shareholders’ petition. On May 15, 2024, the Second Circuit issued its mandate formally closing the appeal. As a result, all claims against the FlexShares® Morningstar US Market Factor Tilt Index Fund in this action remain dismissed and this action is closed.

Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)
16. Foreign Instability
Unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events and military conflicts around the world may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact global financial markets and the broader economy. Foreign conflicts have caused, and could continue to cause, significant market disruptions and volatility within specific markets and globally.
The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those conflicts have, and could continue to have, a significant impact on certain Fund investments as well as Fund performance and liquidity. The economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as the financial markets generally, may be adversely impacted by trade disputes and other matters.
17. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events for the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued, and has concluded that there are no recognized or non-recognized subsequent events relevant for financial statement disclosure.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs:
(1) Transaction costs for purchasing and selling shares and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
Actual Expenses
The actual expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period and held through the period ended April 30, 2024.
The first line under each Fund in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The hypothetical expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period ended April 30, 2024.
The second line under each Fund in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions on purchases or sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line for each Fund in the table 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)
FlexShares Trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of each of its series (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) as required by rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Rule”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s Liquidity Risk. “Liquidity Risk” is defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund.
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has appointed Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (“NTI”), the investment adviser to the Funds, as the program administrator for the Program. NTI has delegated oversight of the Program to the Northern Trust Asset Management Credit & Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”).
At a meeting of the Board held December 14, 2023, the Board received and reviewed the annual written report of the Committee, on behalf of NTI (the “Report”), concerning the operation of the Program for the review period October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. The Report addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation.
The Report summarized the operation of the Program and the information and factors considered by the Committee in reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program’s implementation with respect to each Fund. Such information and factors included, among other things: (i) the liquidity risk framework used to assess, manage, and periodically review each Fund’s Liquidity Risk and the results of this assessment; (ii) the reliability of the classification system used to classify the liquidity of each Fund’s portfolio investments; (iii) that each Fund held primarily highly liquid investments (cash and investments that the Fund reasonably expects can be converted to cash within 3 business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value); (iv) that none of the Funds required the establishment of a highly liquid investment minimum (as defined in the Rule) and the methodology for that determination; and (v) confirmation that none of the Funds had breached the 15% maximum threshold on illiquid investments (i.e., any investment that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment) and the procedures for monitoring compliance with the limit. The Report also summarized the changes made to the Program over the course of the year.
The Committee confirmed, and reported to the Board, the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program and that each Fund’s liquidity strategy was appropriate for an exchange-traded fund. The Committee also concluded that the Program, as adopted and implemented, remains reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s Liquidity Risk.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to Liquidity Risk and other risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.
