Shareholder Letter (unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

For the six months ended October 31, 2012, we saw a continuation of the divergence in performance between “risky” assets and those assets generally deemed to be “safe havens.” The steady decline in U.S. interest rates and the commitment by the U.S. Federal Reserve to keep short term rates low into 2014 and beyond provided a tailwind for virtually all U.S. fixed income assets. As investors sought to access equity-like returns in a more risk controlled manner, assets flowed into corporate bonds, both investment grade as well as high yield, driving their returns higher. Additionally, long dated U.S. Treasury bonds continued to attract significant interest among investors looking for safety from the problems plaguing sovereign debt in peripheral Europe. Also benefitting from the flight to quality trend were large cap U.S. equities and to some extent small cap U.S. equities. The relative safety of the U.S. Dollar and gold also attracted investor interest over this time period.

Not surprisingly, non-U.S. assets did not fare as well during this time period. International equities (both developed and emerging markets) posted returns below U.S. equities. Economically sensitive commodities such as energy and industrial metals were down sharply over concern about the less than robust global economic data. The Euro was down as debt issues in Greece, Spain, Italy and other European countries continued to weigh on the non-U.S. markets.

During the challenging market environment, many of IndexIQ’s ETFs continued to gain significant traction. Our flagship multi-strategy hedge fund replication fund, the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF (ticker QAI), is still being used as the core of investors’ alternative asset exposure, in lieu of or in complement to traditional hedge fund exposure. The IQ Hedge Macro Tracker ETF (ticker MCRO) seeks to provide investors a means of gaining exposure, in a hedged manner, to capitalize on global macro trends. To complement QAI and MCRO, IndexIQ recently launched the IQ Hedge Market Neutral Tracker ETF (ticker QMN), which seeks to provide investors with the risk-return characteristics of hedge funds utilizing a market neutral strategy. The IQ Real Return ETF (ticker CPI) has also become a more important strategy for investors, as the specter of inflation persists. CPI is designed to provide a hedge to the rate of inflation, targeting a real return above the returns of the Consumer Price Index. Also, given today’s low interest rate environment, and CPI’s low volatility profile, it is being used as a vehicle to potentially generate a return on long-term cash holdings.

With the growing importance of commodity and natural resources exposure, investors have adopted the IQ Global Resources ETF (ticker GRES) as a core alternative asset holding. GRES provides investors, through investments in equities, with exposure to eight sectors, including the core commodity asset classes as well as timber, water and coal. For investors interested in specific commodity-oriented sectors, IndexIQ offers the IQ Global Agribusiness Small Cap ETF (Ticker CROP) and IQ Global Oil Small Cap ETF (Ticker IOIL). An alternative way to gain access to the commodity-rich economies of Canada and Australia is through the IQ Canada Small Cap ETF and IQ Australia Small Cap ETF, respectively. Similarly, IndexIQ’s IQ U.S. Real Estate Small Cap ETF (Ticker ROOF) provides investors access to the small cap U.S. real estate sector uniquely through an ETF.

Investors have recognized that having a well-diversified portfolio is critical to better long-term investment returns. Alternative investments have historically provided investors with added diversification to their portfolios. By marrying the diversification benefits of alternative investments and the growth of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), IndexIQ is seeking to provide investors with innovative tools in a dynamic market environment.*

We at IndexIQ call ourselves “ The alternative to alternatives ” because of our focus on bringing a different approach to the alternative investment segment of the marketplace. One leading example of this philosophy is QAI, which was launched by IndexIQ in March 2009 and surpassed its three-year anniversary as of March 25, 2012. The Fund’s performance has demonstrated why a multi-asset class, hedged approach can be attractive during volatile market conditions.

I want to personally thank you for your interest in IndexIQ and our investment products. I invite you to visit us at www.indexiq.com or call us at (888) 934-0777 for more information on our company and our investment solutions.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information together with the amount you invested, in a particular Fund, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid for Period 5/1/12 to 10/31/12” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Each Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying ETF investments in which each Fund invests. These expenses are not included in the table.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The Funds will indirectly bear their pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying ETF investments in which the Funds invest. These expenses are not included in the table.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Investors may find the financial statements of any issuer whose securities represent a significant amount of a Fund’s assets on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

These financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Investment Valuation

The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of each Fund is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange Arca (“NYSE”) is open for trading. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a fund’s net assets by the number of fund shares outstanding. Securities, investment funds and futures traded on any recognized national or foreign stock exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or if no

sale price is available, at the bid price. Securities not listed on a national or foreign stock exchange may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by approved pricing services or at the closing bid price on the over-the-counter market.

If market quotations are not readily available, or if it is determined that a quotation of a security does not represent fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Market prices may not represent fair value, for example, if a security is thinly traded or if an event occurs between the market quotation and the time the security is to be valued which is expected to affect the value of the security. The circumstances in which the Board may fair value a security include, among others: the occurrence of events that are significant to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults; the occurrence of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in a particular region or government actions; trading restrictions on securities; thinly traded securities; and market events such as trading halts and early market closings. Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates current market value. Investments in open end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value. Price information on ETFs is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV determined by using market quotes.

Fair Value Measurement

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the following hierarchy:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Trustees, although the actual calculations may be done by others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.

Tax Information, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders and Uncertain Tax Positions

Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), by distributing substantially all of its net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders. Certain Funds also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends’ paid deduction. Net investment income and net capital gains, if any, are typically distributed to shareholders at least annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to improve index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Code. In addition, the Funds may determine to distribute at least annually amounts representing the full dividend yield net of expenses on the underlying investment securities, as if the Funds owned the underlying investment securities for the entire dividend period in which case some portion of each distribution may result in a return of capital. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported as a tax return of capital.

Management evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as an expense in the current year. The Funds have concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken. The Funds are required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. The returns of the Funds for the period from commencement of operations through October 31, 2012 are open for examination.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less when acquired, and are disclosed as Short-Term Investments in the Schedules of Investments.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities are calculated using the identified cost method.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and the other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in

52
 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains/(losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on investment transactions.

Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.

Securities Lending

Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Funds’ securities lending agent. It is the Funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral in the form of cash and /or high grade debt obligations, equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities loaned, is maintained at all times. The collateral can be invested in certain money market mutual funds which also have exposure to the fluctuations of the market. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. The dividend and interest income earned on the securities loaned is accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income. The borrower pays to the Funds an amount equal to any dividends or interest received on loaned securities. Lending portfolio securities could result in a loss or delay in recovering the Fund’s securities if the borrower defaults.

The securities lending income earned by the Funds is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2012 are shown in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Investment Income and Expenses

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. The Funds’ investment income, expenses and unrealized and realized gains and losses are allocated daily. The Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income to shareholders in the form of dividends. Distributions of realized capital gains by underlying funds are recorded as realized capital gains on the ex-date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

3. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

Advisory Agreement

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) the Funds pay the Advisor an advisory fee, based on of the average daily net assets of each Fund, at the following annual rates:

Fund   Rate   
IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF 0.75 %
IQ Hedge Macro Tracker ETF 0.75 %
IQ Hedge Market Neutral Tracker ETF 0.75 %
IQ Real Return ETF 0.48 %
IQ Global Resources ETF 0.75 %
IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF 0.75 %
IQ Australia Small Cap ETF 0.69 %
IQ Canada Small Cap ETF 0.69 %
IQ Global Agribusiness Small Cap ETF 0.75 %
IQ Global Oil Small Cap ETF 0.75 %
IQ US Real Estate Small Cap ETF 0.69 %
IQ Emerging Markets Mid Cap ETF 0.75 %

 

Such fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. On May 19, 2011, the sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and Esposito Partners, LLC (“Esposito”), pursuant to which Esposito acted as sub-advisor to the IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF, was terminated, and the Advisor assumed day-to-day portfolio management responsibility for the Fund.

The Advisor has agreed to pay all expenses of the Funds, except brokerage and other transaction expenses; extraordinary legal fees or expenses, such as those for litigation or arbitration; compensation and expenses of the Independent Trustees, counsel to the Independent Trustees, and the Funds’ chief compliance officer; extraordinary expenses; distribution fees and expenses paid by the Funds under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and the advisory fee payable to the Advisor hereunder.

Distribution

ALPS Distributors, Inc. serves as the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”) pursuant to a Distribution Services Agreement. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1 Plan”). In accordance with the Rule 12b-1 Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay an amount up to 0.10% of each Fund’s average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. As authorized by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of each Fund’s assets. The Advisor and its affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Funds.

Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent

The Bank of New York Mellon (in each capacity, the “Administrator,” “Custodian” or “Transfer Agent”) serves as the Funds’ Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent pursuant to the Fund Administration and Accounting Agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, the Advisor pays the Funds’ Administrative, Custody and Transfer Agency fees. The Bank of New York Mellon is a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a financial holding company.

4. ORGANIZATIONAL AND OFFERING COSTS

Expenses incurred in connection with organizing and the offering of the Trust and the Funds were paid by the Advisor. The Funds do not have an obligation to reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates for organizational and offering expenses paid on their behalf.

5. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of October 31, 2012, there was an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust. Shares are created and redeemed on a continuous basis at NAV only in groups of 50,000 shares called Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable. Transactions in shares of the Funds are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Only “Authorized Participants” may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to create and redeem whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX

At October 31, 2012, the cost of investments on a tax basis including the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period was as follows:

Fund Cost Gross

IQ Emerging Markets Mid Cap ETF   1,901,432   97,900   (361,292 )   (263,392 )

 

The differences between book and tax basis cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals, pass through investments and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies held at October 31, 2012.

At April 30, 2012, the components of earnings/loss on a tax-basis were as follows:

IQ Emerging Markets Mid Cap ETF   75,558     (462,101 )   (222,053 )   (608,596 )

 

The differences between book and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals and other book and tax differences including foreign currency contracts, swap contracts and post-October losses.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to the tax treatment of net operating losses, distribution reclassifications and foreign currency reclassifications.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

Capital losses incurred after October 31 (“Post-October Losses”) and certain late year ordinary income losses within the taxable year can be deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds’ next taxable year. For the year ended April 30, 2012, the Funds incurred and elected to defer to May 1, 2012 post-October losses and late year ordinary losses of:

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term. Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years and all carryforwards were considered short-term in character. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to the effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused.

At April 30, 2012, the Funds listed below had net capital loss carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes which are available for offset against future taxable net capital gains. The amounts were determined after adjustments for certain differences between financial reporting and tax purposes, such as wash sale losses. Accordingly, no capital gain distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders of these Funds until future net capital gains have been realized in excess of the available capital loss carryforwards. There is no assurance that any Fund will be able to utilize all of its capital loss carryforwards before they expire. For the year ended April 30, 2012, there were no capital loss carryforwards utilized or expired. These loss carryforwards expire in amounts and fiscal years as follows:

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Futures Contracts

Certain Funds may invest in futures contracts (“futures”) in order to replicate exposures to their respective underlying index components. Investments in futures may increase or leverage exposure to a particular market risk, thereby increasing price volatility of derivative instruments a Fund holds. No price is paid or received by a Fund upon the purchase of a futures contract. Initially, a Fund will be required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents, known as initial margin, based on the value of the contract. Subsequent payments, called variation margin, to and from the broker, will be made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying instruments fluctuate making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as ‘marking-to-the-market.’ Once a final determination of variation margin is made, additional cash is required to be paid by or released to a Fund, and a Fund will realize a loss or gain. During the period, the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF utilized futures contracts to effect short exposure to emerging markets equity returns, international currency returns and commodity returns, the IQ Hedge Macro Tracker ETF utilized futures contracts to effect short exposure to U.S. small cap equity returns, international currency returns and commodity returns, and the IQ Hedge Market Neutral Tracker ETF utilized futures contracts to effect short exposure to international currency returns and small cap equity returns. In addition, the IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF and IQ Global Resources ETF both utilized futures contracts to effect short exposure to U.S. and international equity returns.

The open futures contracts at October 31, 2012 are listed in the Schedules of Investments. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap Transactions

A swap agreement is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other instruments. Most swap agreements provide that when the period payment dates for both parties are the same, the payments are made on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with only the net amount paid by one party to the other). The Funds’ obligations or rights under a swap agreement entered into on a net basis will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement, based on the relative values of the positions held by each counterparty. Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps. Therefore, swaps are subject to credit risk or the risk of default or non-performance by the counterparty. Swaps could result in losses if interest rate or foreign currency exchange rates or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by the Funds or if the reference index, security or investments do not perform as expected.

When the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap agreement, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge cash or liquid securities as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate.

Certain Funds use total return swaps to achieve the same exposures as their underlying index components. Total return swaps give the Funds the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. Total return swaps can also be used to replicate an exposure to a short position in an asset class where a Fund has the right to receive the depreciation in value of a specified security, index or other instrument. If the underlying asset in a total return swap declines over the term of the swap, a Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that to the counterparty. The Funds segregate or receive liquid assets, which may include securities, cash, or cash equivalents, to cover the daily marked-to-market net obligations under outstanding swap agreements. During the period, the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF utilized swaps to effect long exposure to the convertible bond and mid-term volatility asset classes and short exposure to the real estate asset class. In addition, the IQ Hedge Macro Tracker ETF utilized swaps to effect long exposure to the mid-term volatility asset class, the IQ Hedge Market Neutral Tracker ETF utilized swaps to effect long exposure to the convertible bond asset class and the IQ Emerging Markets Mid Cap ETF utilized swaps to effect long exposure to Indian equities. In all cases, the Funds’ swap exposures were consistent with the exposure of the Funds’ underlying indexes. At October 31, 2012, the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF and IQ Hedge Macro Tracker ETF posted $6,604,318 and $113,760, respectively, as collateral for swaps.

Pursuant to documentation governing the Funds’ swap transactions with Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc. (“Morgan Stanley”), Morgan Stanley has the right to terminate the swaps early in the event that the net assets of the given Fund decline below specific levels set forth in the documentation (“net asset contingent features”). In the event of early termination, Morgan Stanley may require the Funds to pay or receive a settlement amount in connection with the terminated swap transaction. As of October 31, 2012, the Funds have not triggered the conditions under such documentation that will give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination. As of such date, the settlement values of these contracts were approximately equal to the fair value of such contracts.

At October 31, 2012, the fair values of derivative instruments reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities were as follows:

9. RISKS INVOLVED WITH INVESTING IN THE FUNDS

The Funds are subject to the principal risks described below. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. As with any investment, an investment in a Fund could result in a loss or the performance of a Fund could be inferior to that of other investments.

Fund of Funds Risk*

Certain of the Funds’ investment performance, because they are funds of funds, depends on the investment performance of the underlying ETFs in which they invest. An investment in any such Fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying ETFs that comprise its underlying Index. Such a Fund will indirectly pay a proportional share of the asset-based fees, if any, of the underlying ETFs in which it invests.

Exchange Traded Vehicle Risk*

Unlike an investment in a mutual fund, the value of the Funds’ investments in ETFs, exchange-traded vehicles (“ETVs”) and exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) is based on stock market prices and the Fund could lose money due to stock market developments, the failure of an active trading market to develop, or exchange trading halts or de-listings. Federal law prohibits the Funds from acquiring investment company shares, including shares of ETFs, in excess of specific thresholds unless exempted by rule, regulation or exemptive order. These prohibitions may prevent the Funds from allocating their investments to ETFs in an optimal manner.

Index Risk

The underlying Indexes have limited historical performance data that is not predictive of future results. In addition, the underlying Indexes and the Funds rebalance only on a monthly or quarterly basis, which may cause the performance of the underlying Indexes and the Funds to deviate from that of the market exposure that they are trying to achieve.

Industry Concentration Risk

A Fund will not invest 25% or more of the value of the Fund’s total assets in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry or group of industries; except that, to the extent that the underlying Index is concentrated in a particular industry, the Fund also will be concentrated in that industry. The risk of concentrating Fund investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of industries will subject the Fund to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors.

Tracking Error Risk

Each Fund’s performance may not match its underlying Index during any period of time. Although each Fund attempts to track the performance of its underlying Index, a Fund may not be able to duplicate its exact composition or return for any number of reasons, including but not limited to risk that the strategies used by the Advisor to match the performance of the underlying Indexes may fail to produce the intended results, liquidity risk and new fund risk, as well as the incurring of Fund expenses, which the underlying Index does not incur.

Foreign Securities Risk

Certain of the Funds invest directly or indirectly (through underlying ETFs) in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, which involves risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional and custody costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability.

Small Capitalization Companies Risk**

Certain of the Funds invest primarily in the stocks of small capitalization companies, which may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Stock prices of small capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small capitalization companies may be thinly traded, making it difficult to buy and sell them.

New Fund Risk***

Certain of the Funds are new funds. As new funds, there can be no assurance that the Funds will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the Funds may experience greater tracking error to their Underlying Indexes than they otherwise would be at higher asset levels or they could ultimately liquidate.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On December 3, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust authorized an orderly liquidation of IQ Emerging Markets Mid Cap ETF (the “Liquidating Fund”). The Trust’s Board of Trustees determined that closing the Liquidating Fund was in the best interests of the Liquidating Fund and its shareholders. The Liquidating Fund was closed to new investors and discontinued trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. effective at the market close on December 18, 2012. Shareholders of record remaining on December 28, 2012 will receive cash at the net asset value of their shares as of that date, which will include any capital gains and dividends as of such date.

The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of this report and have determined that there are no other material events that would require disclosure.
