October 31, 2020
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Funds’ shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from your financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank). Instead, the reports will be available on the Funds’ website (www.cambriafunds.com), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from a Fund electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. Please contact your financial intermediary to request to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held in your account.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.
Use of Estimates — The Funds are investment companies in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and could have a material impact to the Funds.
Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”)), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid.
For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third–party pricing agents, if available. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third–party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker–supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third–party pricing agent, the Funds seeks to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Futures are valued at the settlement price established for the business day by the board of trade on which they are traded. Settlement prices for financial futures are provided by an independent pricing agent.
Options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices reported from the options exchange on which such options are listed. If there is no reported sale, long options positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short option positions are valued at the most recent ask price.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Funds’ fair value procedures are implemented through a fair value committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de–listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government–imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| • | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| • | Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
| • | Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
For the period ended October 31, 2020, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.

Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations.
The value of the Funds’ foreign holdings as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar generally will result in a corresponding change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that currency held by a Fund. In addition to the risks of foreign currency exchange rates generally, trading in the currencies of certain countries may face periods of limited liquidity or the political risk of exchange controls or currency repatriation restrictions, which may in turn make such holdings denominated in those currencies difficult to value. The Funds may also incur losses in connection with conversions between various currencies.
Futures Contracts — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF utilized futures contracts during the period ended October 31, 2020. The Fund’s investment in futures contracts is designed to enable the Fund to more closely approximate the performance of its benchmark index. Cambria Value and Momentum ETF chose to invest in futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Fund’s returns. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract. A margin deposit was made upon entering into futures contracts and is included in Cash at Broker on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, the futures contract involves the risk that Cambria Value and Momentum ETF could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.
Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
It is the Fund’s policy to present the gross variation margin payable and the gross variation margin receivable of the future contracts separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as Cambria Value and Momentum ETF does not have a master netting agreement with the counterparty to the futures contracts. Refer to the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF Schedule of Investments for details regarding open future contracts as of October 31, 2020. The fair value of equity futures contracts held in the Fund can be found on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the captions variation margin receivable/payable. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts are reported in the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF Schedule of Investments. Realized gains or losses on equity rate futures contracts related to the Fund is recognized on the Statements of Operations as part of net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts and any change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recognized on the Statements of Operations as net change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts.
Options Written/Purchased — The Cambria Value and Momentum ETF and Cambria Tail Risk ETF may invest in equity options contracts for the purpose of hedging their existing portfolio securities, or securities that they intend to purchase, against fluctuations in fair market value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. In particular, (1) the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF may use options to hedge up to 100% of the value of its long portfolio in an attempt to avoid overvalued and downtrending markets and (2) the Cambria Tail Risk ETF utilizes a put option strategy to manage the risk of a significant negative movement in the value of domestic equities over rolling one–month periods. A Fund may also invest in equity option contracts to enhance its returns. When the Fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on affecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss.

The risk in writing a call option is a Fund may give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in purchasing an option is a Fund may pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes. Finally, the risk exists that losses on written options could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Cambria Tail Risk ETF had options contracts as of October 31, 2020, as disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Any realized and change in unrealized gains or losses can be found on the Statements of Operations.

Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend to qualify as “regulated investment companies” under Sub–chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to their shareholders.
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
| October 31, 2020 (Unaudited) |
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more–likely–than–not” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more–likely–than–not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period.
The Funds did not record any tax provisions in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on–going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2020, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Organizational and Offering Expenses — All organizational and offering expenses of the Trust were borne by the Investment Adviser and are not subject to future recoupment. As a result, organizational and offering expenses are not reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Expenses — Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the underlying funds.
Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income received from the underlying funds is recognized on the ex–dividend date and is recorded as income distributions in the Statements of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the underlying funds are recognized on ex–dividend date and are recorded on the Statements of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are on the basis of specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex–dividend date. Dividend income is recorded net of unrecoverable withholding tax. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Amortization and accretion is calculated using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method over the holding period of the security. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Capital gain taxes on securities in certain foreign countries are accrued on unrealized appreciation and are due when realized.
Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds generally pay out dividends from their net investment income, if any, quarterly, and distributes their net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex–dividend date.
Creation Units — The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV in groups of 50,000 shares called creation units (“Creation Units”). Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) must pay a creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is typically a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a Redemption Fee per transaction to the custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.
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. 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 Fund and/or serve as counterparty to derivative transactions with the Fund.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker–dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a 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 buy and sell 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.

In these circumstances, the Fund may require the Authorized Participant to maintain with the Trust an amount up to 115% and/or 125% of the daily mark–to–market value of the missing Deposit Securities.
Illiquid Securities — A security is considered illiquid if the Fund reasonably expects that the investment cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Valuations of illiquid securities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market value for these securities existed.
Cash and cash equivalents — Idle cash and currency balances may be swept into various overnight sweep accounts and are classified as cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These amounts, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept are available on the next business day.
3. OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Funds are required to disclose the impact of offsetting assets and liabilities represented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on its financial position for recognized assets and liabilities. These recognized assets and liabilities are financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement or meet the following right of setoff criteria: the amounts owed by the Funds to another party are determinable, the Funds has the right to set off the amounts owed with the amounts owed by the other party, the Funds intends to set off, and the Funds right of setoff is enforceable at law.
As of October 31, 2020, the Funds’ financial instruments and derivative instruments are not subject to a master netting arrangement.
4. RELATED PARTIES

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS
As with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investments could lose money, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or long periods of time. An investment is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Funds are subject to the principal risks set forth in their prospectuses under the heading “Principal Risks.” Some of these risks, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return, or ability to meet its investment objective, are set forth below.
Cannabis Industry Risk — Cannabis Companies are subject to various laws and regulations that may differ at the local and federal level. These laws and regulations may significantly affect a Cannabis Company’s ability to secure financing, impact the market for cannabis industry sales and services, and set limitations on marijuana use, production, transportation, and storage. Cannabis Companies may also be required to secure permits and authorizations from government agencies to cultivate or research marijuana. In addition, Cannabis Companies are subject to the risks associated with the agricultural, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. TOKE invests in publicly–traded Cannabis Companies primarily listed and traded on a national securities exchange that operates in a jurisdiction where the Cannabis Companies’ cannabis–related business activities are legal under the national and local laws of the relevant jurisdiction, including U.S. federal and state laws.
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
| October 31, 2020 (Unaudited) |
Cash Redemption Risk — Each Fund’s investment strategy may require it to effect redemptions, in whole or in part, for cash. As a result, each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause a Fund to recognize investment income and/or capital gains or losses that it might not have recognized if it had completely satisfied the redemption in–kind. As a result, such Fund may be less tax efficient if it includes such a cash payment than if the in–kind redemption process was used exclusively (i.e., securities are distributed as payment of redemption proceeds). In addition, cash redemptions may incur higher brokerage costs than in–kind redemptions and these added costs may be borne by the Fund and negatively impact Fund performance.
Commodity Investing Risk. Investing in commodity–related companies may subject a Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The commodities markets have experienced periods of extreme volatility. Similar future market conditions may result in rapid and substantial valuation increases or decreases in the Fund’s holdings.
Cyber Security Risk — Each Fund, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a breach in cyber security, including cyber–attacks. A breach in cyber security, intentional or unintentional, may adversely impact the Fund in many ways, including, but not limited to, disruption of the Fund’s operational capacity, loss of proprietary information, theft or corruption of data maintained online or digitally, denial–of–service attacks on websites or network resources, and the unauthorized release of confidential information. Cyber–attacks affecting the Fund’s third–party service providers, including Cambria, the custodian, and the transfer agent, may subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches and adversely impact the Fund. For instance, cyber–attacks may impact the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of confidential business information, impede trading, cause the Fund to incur additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures, subject the Fund to regulatory fines or other financial losses, and/or cause reputational damage to the Fund. Cyber security breaches of market makers, Authorized Participants, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests could also have material adverse consequences on the Fund’s business operations and cause financial losses for the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund and its service providers have established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to address cyber security risks, prevent cyber–attacks and mitigate the impact of cyber security breaches, there are inherent limitations on such plans and systems. In addition, the Fund has no control over the cyber security protections put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Derivatives Risk — Derivatives are financial instruments that have a value which depends upon, or is derived from, a reference asset, such as one or more underlying securities, pools of securities, indexes, rates or currencies. Derivatives may result in investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest; in other words, a small investment in a derivative may have a large impact on Fund performance. The successful use of derivatives generally depends on the ability to predict market movements. The use of these instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than those normally required for purchasing and selling securities. If the Adviser uses a derivative instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, or if the derivative instrument does not perform as expected, these strategies may significantly reduce a Fund’s return. A Fund could also experience losses if it is unable to close out a position because the market for an instrument or position is or becomes illiquid.
Dividend Paying Security Risk — Securities that pay high dividends as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing these companies to underperform companies that do not pay high dividends. Also, changes in the dividend policies of companies owned by the Funds and the capital resources available for these companies’ dividend payments may adversely affect the Funds.
Emerging Markets Risk — Investments in securities and instruments traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to these securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments or investments in more developed international markets. For example, emerging markets may be subject to, among other risks, greater market volatility; lower trading volume and liquidity; greater social, political and economic uncertainty; governmental controls on foreign investments and limitations on repatriation of invested capital; lower disclosure, corporate governance, auditing and financial reporting standards; fewer protections of property rights; restrictions on the transfer of securities or currency; and settlement and trading practices that differ from U.S. markets and markets of more developed countries. Each of these factors may impact the ability of the Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares and cause the Fund to decline in value.
Equity Investing Risk — The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally. The Cambria Sovereign Bond ETF and Cambria Tail Risk ETF do not invest in equities.
Semi-Annual Report | October 31, 2020 | 63 |
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
| October 31, 2020 (Unaudited) |
Exchange–Traded Funds and Exchange–Traded Products (“ETP”) and Investment Companies Risk — The risks of investing in securities of ETFs, ETPs and investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the underlying ETF, ETP or investment company invests. In addition, with such investments, a Fund bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the underlying entity. As a result, the Fund’s operating expenses may be higher and performance may be lower.
Fixed Income Risk — A decline in an issuer’s credit rating may cause a decrease in the value of its fixed income securities and an increase in their investment risk and volatility. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by a Fund may “call” (or repay) the security before its stated maturity, and the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income. The market value of fixed income securities generally changes in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities is likely to decrease. Similarly, if interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities is likely to increase.
Foreign Investment Risk — Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Investments in or exposures to foreign securities by a Fund are subject to special risks, including risks associated with foreign securities generally, including differences in information available about issuers of securities and investor protection standards applicable in other jurisdictions; capital controls risks, including the risk of a foreign jurisdiction imposing restrictions on the ability to repatriate or transfer currency or other assets; currency risks; political, diplomatic and economic risks; regulatory risks; and foreign market and trading risks, including the costs of trading and risks of settlement in foreign jurisdictions.
Futures Contracts Risk — Risks associated with the use of futures contracts include the following: (i) an imperfect correlation between movements in prices of index futures contracts and movements in the value of the stock index that the instrument is designed to simulate; and (ii) the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Investments in futures may expose the Fund to leverage.
High Yield Securities Risk — High yield securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality are subject to the increased risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. High yield securities are subject to a greater risk of default and investments in them are inherently speculative. The secondary markets in which high yield securities are traded may be less liquid and more volatile than the market for higher grade securities.
Management Risk — The Funds that are actively managed (“Active Funds”) use proprietary investment strategies and processes. There can be no guarantee that these strategies and processes will produce the intended results and no guarantee that an Active Fund will achieve its investment objective. This could result in an Active Fund’s underperformance compared to other funds with similar investment objectives.
Market Events Risk — Turbulence in the financial markets and reduced liquidity in the equity markets may negatively affect issuers, which could have an adverse effect on the Funds. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve and/or other government actors, such as increasing interest rates, could cause increased volatility in financial markets and higher levels of Fund redemptions, which could have a negative impact on the Fund. In a declining stock market, stock prices for all companies (including those in the Fund’s portfolio) may decline, regardless of their long–term prospects.
Market Risk of Recent Events — The respiratory illness COVID–19 caused by a novel coronavirus has resulted in a global pandemic and major disruption to economies and markets around the world, including the United States. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments has been greatly reduced for periods of time. Some interest rates are very low and in some cases yields are negative. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time, and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of Fund investments. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long–term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the U.S., have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time.
Non–Correlation Risk — The returns of the Index Funds may not match the return of their Underlying Indexes for a number of reasons. For example, each Index Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Index Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Index Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Index Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.
Cambria ETF Trust | Notes to Financial Statements |
| October 31, 2020 (Unaudited) |
Options Risk — Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the prices of options and movements in the price of the underlying securities. Options may expire unexercised, causing the Fund to lose the premium paid for them. The success of the Fund’s investment in options depends upon many factors, such as the price of the options which is a function of various factors that may change rapidly over time. If a counterparty defaults, the Fund’s only recourse will be to pursue contractual remedies against the counterparty, and the Fund may be unsuccessful in its pursuit. The Fund thus assumes the risk that it may be delayed in or prevented from obtaining payments owed to it pursuant to an over–the–counter options transaction.
Premium–Discount Risk — The shares may trade above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of shares, however, will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, shares on the Exchange. The trading price of shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. Cambria cannot predict whether shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities held by the Fund. However, given that shares can be purchased and redeemed in large blocks of shares, called Creation Units (unlike shares of closed–end funds, which frequently trade at appreciable discounts from, and sometimes at premiums to, their NAV), and the Fund’s portfolio holdings are fully disclosed on a daily basis, Cambria believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained, but that may not be the case.
Real Estate Investments Risk — Investments in real estate are subject to certain risks, including declines in the real estate market, decreases in property revenues, increases in interest rates, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, legal and regulatory changes, a lack of credit or capital, defaults by borrowers or tenants, environmental problems and natural disasters. The availability of mortgages and changes in interest rates may also affect real estate values.
Real Estate Investment Trust “REIT” Risk. In addition to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and real estate–related securities, REITs are subject to additional risks, including those related to adverse governmental actions, and the performance of a REIT may be affected by its failure to qualify for tax–free pass through of income or its failure to maintain exemption from registration as an investment company. REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and may invest in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a small number of property types. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders or unitholders, and may be subject to defaults by borrowers and to self–liquidations. As a result, investments in REITs may be volatile. REITs also have their own fees and expenses, and the Fund will indirectly bear a proportionate share of those fees and expenses.
Secondary Market Trading Risk — Investors buying or selling shares in the secondary market will generally pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of shares. In addition, secondary market investors will also incur the cost of the difference between the price that an investor is willing to pay for shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which an investor is willing to sell shares (the “ask” price). This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the “spread” or “bid/ask spread.” The bid/ask spread varies over time for shares based on trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower if the Fund’s shares have more trading volume and market liquidity and higher if the Fund’s shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Further, increased market volatility may cause increased bid/ask spreads.
Although the shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable. Further, trading in shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk — Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Small and medium capitalization companies are sometimes more dependent on key personnel or limited product lines than larger, more diversified companies. Often, small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they focus are still evolving and, as a result, they may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.
Sovereign Debt Securities Risk — Investments in sovereign and quasi–sovereign debt obligations involve special risks not present in corporate debt obligations. The issuer of the sovereign debt or the authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Sovereign Bond ETF may have limited recourse in the event of a default. During periods of economic uncertainty, the market prices of sovereign debt, and the Sovereign Bond ETF’s net asset value, may be more volatile than prices of U.S. debt obligations. In the past, certain non–U.S. markets have encountered difficulties in servicing their debt obligations, withheld payments of principal and interest and declared moratoria on the payment of principal and interest on their sovereign debts.

7. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter 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 involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. Based on experience, the Investment Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.
8. INCOME TAXES
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily attributable to redemption in kind transactions. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings or paid–in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
For tax purposes, short–term realized gains are considered ordinary income. The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the fiscal year or period April 30, 2020, were as follows:

The difference between the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and other financial instruments and the financial statement cost is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and certain market to market adjustments.
Funds are permitted to carry forward losses for an unlimited period and losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short term or long term capital losses. As of April 30, 2020, the Funds have the following capital loss carryforwards and offset capital gains for an unlimited period:

9. SECURITIES LENDING
The Funds have entered into a Securities Lending Agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., (the “Lending Agent”) to lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations that meet capital and other credit requirements or other criteria established by the Trust’s Board. These loans, if and when made, may not exceed 33 1/3% of the total asset value of the respective Fund (including the loan collateral). The Funds will not lend portfolio securities to the Adviser or its affiliates unless permissible under the 1940 Act and the rules and promulgations thereunder. Loans of portfolio securities will be fully collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities, and the collateral will be maintained in an amount equal to at least 102% of the then market value of domestic loaned securities and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities. However, due to market fluctuations during the day, the value of securities loaned on a particular day may, during the course of the day, exceed the value of collateral. On each business day, the amount of collateral is adjusted based on the prior day’s market fluctuations and the current day’s lending activity. Income from lending activity is determined by the amount of interest earned on collateral, less any amounts payable to the borrowers of the securities and the lending agent. Lending securities involves certain risks, including the risk that the Funds may be delayed or restricted from recovering the loaned securities or disposing of the collateral for the loan, which could give rise to loss because of adverse market actions, expenses and/or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and income from lending activity by the Funds that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of that Fund.

Funds may be delayed or restricted from recovering the loaned securities or disposing of the collateral for the loan, which could give rise to loss because of adverse market actions, expenses and/or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and income from lending activity by the Funds that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of that Fund.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in Fidelity Investments Money Market Treasury Portfolio and is presented on the Statements of Investments.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under the Securities Lending Agreement, which permits a Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by a Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from a Fund.
The following is a summary of securities lending agreements held by the Funds, with cash collateral of overnight maturities and non–cash collateral, if any, which would be subject to offset as of October 31, 2020:

Cambria ETF Trust | Disclosure of Fund Expenses |
| October 31, 2020 (Unaudited) |
All ETFs have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, brokerage fees and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. Shareholder may incur brokerage commissions on their purchase and sales of Fund Shares, which are not reflected in the examples below.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the ETF’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples do not reflect any brokerage commissions that you may pay on purchases and sales of Shares. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (May 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020).
The table below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Cambria ETF Trust | Approval of Advisory Agreement & Board Considerations |
| October 31, 2020 (Unaudited) |
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Cambria ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), attended an in-person meeting on March 16, 2017, called for the purpose of, among other things, the consideration of, and voting on, the approval of the investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) between Cambria Investment Management, L.P. (“Cambria”) and the Trust, with respect to a newly proposed series of the Trust: Cambria Global Real Estate ETF (formerly, Cambria Global REIT ETF) (the “New Fund”). Subsequent to this initial meeting, the Board considered and voted to approve the Agreement, with respect to the New Fund, in-person on March 14, 2018, and telephonically at meetings held on March 10 and March 19, 2020 (collectively, with the initial meeting, the “Meetings”). In preparation for its deliberations at each Meeting, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from Cambria to due diligence questionnaires circulated on the Board’s behalf relating to the New Fund. During its deliberations at each Meeting, the Board received an oral presentation from Cambria and was assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel.
In evaluating the Agreement, the Board reviewed information regarding Cambria’s personnel, operations, and financial condition. In addition, the Board considered the evaluation process of Cambria to be ongoing and, in this regard, the Board considered information about Cambria derived from prior meetings of the Board concerning Cambria’s performance and services with respect to other series of the Trust (the “Funds”) as part of the 15(c) review process for the New Fund. At each Meeting, the Board considered: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the New Fund by Cambria; (2) the investment performance of Cambria with respect to existing Funds with similar investment strategies and other Funds with the same portfolio manager; (3) the costs of the services to be provided by Cambria and the expected profitability to Cambria to be derived from its relationship with the New Fund; (4) the advisory fee and total expense ratio of the New Fund compared to a relevant peer group of funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Fund grows and whether the advisory fee would enable investors to share in the benefits of economies of scale; (6) benefits (such as soft dollars, if any) to be derived by Cambria and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund; (7) Cambria’s reputation, expertise and resources in the financial markets; (8) Cambria’s investment management personnel; (9) Cambria’s operations and financial condition; (10) Cambria’s compliance program; and (11) other factors the Board deemed relevant.
The discussion immediately below outlines in greater detail the materials and information presented to the Board in connection with its consideration and approval of the Agreement, and the conclusions made by the Board at the Meetings when determining to approve the Agreement for the New Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed the nature, quality and extent of the overall services to be provided by Cambria to the New Fund. In particular, the Board considered the responsibilities of Cambria under the terms of the Agreement, recognizing that Cambria had invested significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and the New Fund, obtaining the necessary exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), arranging service providers, exploring various sales channels, and assessing the appeal for the New Fund’s investment strategy. In addition, the Board considered that Cambria is responsible for providing investment advisory services to the New Fund, monitoring compliance with the New Fund’s objectives, policies and restrictions, and carrying out directives of the Board. The Board also considered the services provided by Cambria in the oversight of the Trust’s distributor, administrator, transfer agent, and custodian. In addition, the Board evaluated the integrity of Cambria’s personnel, the professional qualifications and experience of the portfolio management team in managing assets, their experiences with Cambria’s services, and the adequacy of Cambria’s resources and financial condition. Based on its review, within the context of its full deliberations, the Board determined that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the New Fund by Cambria.
Performance. The Board noted that, since the New Fund had not yet commenced investment operations, the New Fund had no investment performance. The Board considered, however, that Cambria has been relatively successful managing Funds with similar investment strategies and/or portfolio holdings. Representatives from Cambria provided information regarding and led discussions of factors that may impact the future performance of the New Fund, outlining current market conditions and explaining their expectations and strategies for the future. The Board also discussed and considered the performance track record, investment experience, professional background and qualifications of the New Fund’s portfolio manager. The Board further noted that Cambria had performed extensive research on the strategies underlying the New Fund.
Comparative Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the New Fund’s proposed advisory fee in relation to the estimated costs of the advisory and related services to be provided by Cambria. The Trustees noted that the New Fund charges a unitary advisory fee through which, Cambria, not the New Fund, is responsible for paying many of the expenses necessary to service the New Fund, including the expenses of other service providers. In considering the advisory fee and expense ratio, the Board reviewed and considered the fees in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by Cambria. Because the New Fund charges unitary advisory fees, the Board considered how the New Fund’s total expense ratio compared to those of the funds in its peer group, noting how differences between fund strategies might impact fees. After comparing expense ratios, the Board noted that the New Fund’s total expense ratio was slightly higher, but generally consistent, with the range of total expense ratios charged by its peer group of funds. The Board also considered Cambria’s representation that it would continue to monitor the New Fund’s expense ratio, as compared to those of its peer group, and seek to ensure that the New Fund remains competitive. Based on its review, in the context of its full deliberations, the Board concluded for the New Fund that the proposed advisory fee appeared reasonable in light of the services to be rendered.

Costs and Profitability. The Board then considered the estimated profits to be realized by Cambria in connection with providing services to the New Fund. The Board noted that since the New Fund had not yet launched, it was difficult to estimate how profitable the New Fund would be to Cambria. The Board, however, reviewed estimated profit and loss information provided by Cambria with respect to the New Fund. In particular, the Board noted Cambria’s representation of its long-term commitment to the success of the New Fund and the unitary fee structure under which Cambria bears the risk that the New Fund’s expenses may increase. The Board further considered the costs associated with the personnel, systems and equipment necessary to manage the Funds and to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements adopted by the SEC and other regulatory bodies as well as other expenses Cambria pays in accordance with the Agreement. Based on its review, in the context of its full deliberations, the Board concluded that Cambria’s expected profitability with respect to the New Fund appeared reasonable in light of the services Cambria will render to the New Fund.
Other Benefits. The Board then considered the extent to which Cambria will derive ancillary benefits from the New Fund’s operations. The Board discussed the potential benefits to Cambria resulting from its ability to use the New Fund’s assets to engage in soft dollar transactions. The Board noted that Cambria did not have any affiliates that would benefit from the New Fund’s operations. The Board also reviewed the degree to which Cambria may receive compensation from the New Fund based upon the New Fund’s investment in other Funds.
Economies of Scale. The Board next considered the absence of breakpoints in Cambria’s fee schedule for the New Fund and whether economies of scale would be realized by the New Fund as its assets grow larger. The Board determined that it is difficult to predict when economies of scale might be realized for Cambria and the New Fund, which had not launched yet. The Board, thus, determined to monitor potential economies of scale, as well as the appropriateness of introducing breakpoints, as assets managed by the New Fund grow larger.
Conclusion. In approving the Agreement at each of the Meetings, the Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Fund counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to its consideration of the Agreement. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the advisory arrangement, as outlined in the Agreement, was fair and reasonable in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred, and such other matters as the Board considered relevant. In light of the foregoing, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Agreement with respect to the New Fund at each Meeting.

Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per share at which a Fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. A Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The Market Price of a Fund generally fluctuates in response to changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand. The data represented in the table below represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of a NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
