How did the Fund perform last year?

• For the period of January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, the Applied Finance Valuation Large Cap ETF (the “Fund”) returned 20.41%.

• In comparison, the Morningstar US Market Total Return Index returned 17.35% for the same period.

What key factors affected the Fund's performance?

• US stocks rose in 2025, led by the continued appreciation of megacap technology stocks, especially those impacted by the rapid increase AI investment over the course of the year. The performance of the US benchmark was strongest in Communication Services, Information Technology and Industrial sectors.

• The Fund outpaced the benchmark’s gains in 2025. The Fund benefited from stock selection, primarily in Information Technology, Communication Services, and Health Care, and further benefited by sector allocation, aided by overweighting Communication Services and Information Technology while underweighting Real Estate and Consumer Staples.

• The Fund’s emphasis on avoiding overvalued stocks that are poor stewards of shareholder capital contributed to benchmark outperformance on the year. Overvalued stocks, low profit/high growth stocks and firms with intrinsic value less than book value lagged the overall market, while firms reliant on external financing outperformed.

Notes to the Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2025

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Applied Finance Valuation Large Cap ETF (“Valuation Large Cap”), Applied Finance IVS US SMID ETF (“IVS US SMID”), and the Applied Finance IVS International Large ETF (“IVS International Large”) (collectively, “the Funds”) are each a non-diversified series of ETF Opportunities Trusts , a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which was organized on March 18, 2019 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The offering of each Fund’s shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Valuation Large Cap commenced operations on April 29, 2021. IVS US SMID commenced operations on December 4, 2025. IVS International Large commenced operations on December 11, 2025.

Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek long term capital appreciation.

The Funds are each deemed to be individual reporting segment and are not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy, as outlined in each Fund’s prospectus under the heading “Principal Investment Strategies,” are used by Applied Finance Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) to make investment decisions, and the results of the Funds’ operations, as shown in its Statements of Operations and Financial Highlights, are the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Funds. Due to the significance of oversight and its role in the Funds’ management, each Fund’s investment manager is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

Security Valuation

The Funds record their investments at fair value. Generally, a Fund’s domestic securities (including underlying ETFs which hold portfolio securities primarily listed on foreign (non-U.S.) exchanges) are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each security’s primary exchange. Securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such

49

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | December 31, 2025

APPLIED FINANCE ETFS

Notes to the Financial Statements - continuedDecember 31, 2025

exchange. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Warrants which are traded on an exchange are valued at their last quoted price as of the valuation date. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined in good faith under procedures set by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). Although the Board is ultimately responsible for fair value determinations under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for oversight of the valuation of each Fund’s assets to the Advisor as the Valuation Designee pursuant to each Fund’s policies and procedures. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally are valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask price on such over-the-counter market.

The Trust has a policy that contemplates the use of fair value pricing to determine the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund when market prices are unavailable as well as under special circumstances, such as: (i) if the primary market for a portfolio security suspends or limits trading or price movements of the security; and (ii) when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded, but prior to the time as of which the Funds’ NAV is calculated, that is likely to have changed the value of the security. Since most of the Funds’ investments are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, it is anticipated that the use of fair value pricing will be limited.

When the Trust uses fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of each Fund, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Valuation Designee believes accurately reflects fair value. Any method used will be approved by the Board and results will be monitored to evaluate accuracy. The Trusts policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Funds’ NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing.

The Funds have adopted fair valuation accounting standards that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted

50

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | December 31, 2025

APPLIED FINANCE ETFS

Notes to the Financial Statements - continuedDecember 31, 2025

prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the level of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of December 31, 2025:

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | December 31, 2025

APPLIED FINANCE ETFS

Notes to the Financial Statements - continuedDecember 31, 2025

Security Transactions and Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is determined generally on a specific identification basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Warrants

Each Fund may invest in warrants. Warrants are options to purchase equity securities at a specific price, or receive contingent payments, for a specific period of time. They do not represent ownership of the securities, but only the right to buy them. Hence, warrants have no voting rights, pay no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the corporation issuing them. The value of warrants is derived solely from capital appreciation of the underlying equity securities. Warrants differ from call options in that the underlying corporation issues warrants, whereas call options may be written by anyone.

Accounting Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes 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, as well as the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes

The Funds have complied and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Funds’ tax returns. The Funds have no examinations in progress and management is not aware of

any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense as incurred.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. For the period ended December 31, 2025, such reclassifications were attributable primarily to the tax treatment of redemptions in kind and taxable overdistributions:

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually by each Fund. Each Fund will distribute its net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually. Each Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of a calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Creation Units

The Funds issue and redeem shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 25,000 shares known as “Creation Units.” Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) will be required to pay Citibank, N.A. for Valuation Large Cap and IVS U.S. SMID and U.S. Bank, N.A. for IVS International Large (the “Custodian”) a fixed transaction fee (“Creation Transaction Fee”) in connection with creation orders that is intended to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each creation order is shown below. Authorized Participants wishing to redeem shares will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (“Redemption Transaction Fee”) to offset the transfer and

53

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | December 31, 2025

APPLIED FINANCE ETFS

Notes to the Financial Statements - continuedDecember 31, 2025

other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units. The standard Redemption Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Redemption Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each redemption order is shown below.

Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities. 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 Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed an agreement with the Funds’ principal underwriter (the “Distributor”) with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participant Agreement”). 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. The following table discloses the Creation Unit breakdown based on the NAV as of December 31, 2025:

To the extent contemplated by a Participant Agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to the Distributor, on behalf of the Funds, by the time as set forth in the Participant Agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking will be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the participant agreement. A Participant Agreement may permit the Funds to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of the Funds acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities

Officers and Trustees Indemnification

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that the risk of loss will be remote.

NOTE 4 – DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

62

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | December 31, 2025

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Applied Finance Advisors, LLC since 2021.

and Tidal Investments, LLC (“Tidal”). The Board reflected on its discussions with the representatives from Applied Finance at the Meeting regarding the manner in which each Applied Finance ETF is to be managed and the roles and responsibilities of Applied Finance and Tidal under the AF Advisory Agreement and the Applied Finance Sub-Advisory Agreement (collectively, the “Applied Finance Advisory Agreements”).

The Trustees reviewed a memorandum from Trust Counsel that addressed the Trustees’ duties when considering the approval of the Applied Finance Advisory Agreements and the responses of Applied Finance and Tidal to requests for information from Trust Counsel on behalf of the Board. Trust Counsel noted that the responses included information on the personnel of and services to be provided by Applied Finance and Tidal, an expense comparison analysis for each Applied Finance ETF and comparable ETFs, and the Applied Finance Advisory Agreements. Trust Counsel discussed the types of information and factors that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the Applied Finance Advisory Agreements, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Applied Finance and Tidal; (ii) the investment performance of Applied Finance; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by Applied Finance and Tidal from the relationship with the Applied Finance ETFs; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if each Applied Finance ETF grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of its investors; and (v) possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.

In assessing these factors and reaching its decisions, the Board took into consideration information specifically prepared or presented at this Meeting. The Board requested or was provided with information and reports relevant to the approval of the Applied Finance Advisory Agreements, including: (i) information regarding the services and support to be provided by Applied Finance and Tidal to each Applied Finance ETF and its shareholders; (ii) presentations by management of Applied Finance addressing the investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operations to be utilized in managing the Applied Finance ETFs; (iii) information pertaining to the compliance structures of Applied Finance and Tidal; (iv) disclosure information contained in the Applied Finance ETFs’ registration statement and Applied Finance’s and Tidal’s Form ADV and/or their respective policies and procedures; and (v) the memorandum from Trust Counsel that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving the Applied Finance Advisory Agreements, including the material factors set forth above and the types of information included in each factor that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision.

Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued

The Board considered that it also requested and received various informational materials including, without limitation: (i) documents containing information about Applied Finance and Tidal, including financial information, information on personnel and the services to be provided by Applied Finance and Tidal to the Applied Finance ETFs, each firm’s compliance program, information on any current legal matters, and other general information; (ii) expenses of each Applied Finance ETF and comparative expense for other ETFs with strategies similar to each Applied Finance ETF prepared by an independent third party; (iii) the anticipated effect of size on each Applied Finance ETF’s performance and expenses; and (iv) benefits anticipated to be realized by Applied Finance and Tidal from their respective relationships with the Applied Finance ETFs.

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Applied Finance Advisory Agreements, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. In deciding whether to approve the Applied Finance Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:

1.The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Applied Finance

In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities of Applied Finance and Tidal under the Applied Finance Advisory Agreements. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Applied Finance to the Applied Finance ETFs, including, without limitation, Applied Finance’s process for formulating investment recommendations and the processes of both Applied Finance and Tidal for assuring compliance with each Applied Finance ETF’s investment objectives and limitations; Tidal’s processes for trade execution and broker-dealer selection for portfolio transactions; the coordination of services by Applied Finance for the Applied Finance ETFs among the service providers; and the anticipated efforts of Applied Finance to promote each Applied Finance ETF and grow its assets. The Board considered: the staffing, personnel, and methods of operating of Applied Finance and Tidal; the education and experience of its personnel; and information provided on their respective compliance programs. The Board considered the methods to be utilized by Applied Finance in supervising Tidal as a sub-adviser to the Applied Finance ETFs and the relationship between Applied Finance and Tidal. After reviewing the foregoing and further information from Applied Finance and Tidal, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Applied Finance were satisfactory and adequate for the Applied Finance ETFs.

2.The investment performance of the Applied Finance ETF and Applied Finance.

The Board noted that the Applied Finance ETFs had not yet commenced operations. The Trustees considered Applied Finance’s experience in managing other ETFs and client accounts but that none of them had similar strategies to that of the Applied Finance ETFs.

3.The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by Applied Finance from the relationship with each Applied Finance ETF

In this regard, the Board considered the financial condition of Applied Finance and the level of commitment to the Applied Finance ETFs by Applied Finance. The Board also considered the assets and expenses of the Applied Finance ETFs, including the nature and frequency of advisory payments. The Board noted the information on profitability provided by Applied Finance. The Trustees considered that each of the Applied Finance ETFs had a unitary fee structure, and they compared the unitary fee of each Applied Finance ETF to the fees of its Morningstar Category and a peer group for each selected by Broadridge from each’s Morningstar Category.

For the SMID ETF, the Trustees considered that its expenses, including its advisory fees, relative to its Morningstar category, the Mid-Cap Blend category (the “Mid-Cap Category”), and its peer group consisting of 12 funds (the “Mid-Cap Peer Group”). The Board noted proposed advisory fee for the SMID ETF was the same as the gross and net advisory fees median for the Mid-Cap Peer Group, and that the proposed advisory fee for the SMID ETF was lower than the gross advisory fee median for the Mid-Cap Category, but higher than the net advisory fee median for the Mid-Cap Category. The Board noted that the fees to be paid to Tidal under the Applied Finance Sub-Advisory Agreement were consistent with the range of fees that it represented that it assessed to other clients. The Trustees also considered the split of the advisory fees paid to Applied Finance versus those paid to Tidal and the respective services provided by each to the SMID ETF. The Board also considered the projected profitability in managing the SMID ETF. The Board regarded SMID ETF’s fees and expenses as within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm’s length in light of all of the facts and circumstances.

For the International Large ETF, the Trustees considered its expenses, including its advisory fees, relative to its Morningstar category, the Foreign Large Blend category (the “Foreign Large Category”), and its peer group consisting of 12 funds (the “Foreign Large Peer Group”). The Board noted that both the Foreign

Large Category and Foreign Large Peer Group had a wide dispersion of gross and net advisory fees, and that the proposed management fee for the International Large ETF was higher than the medians for the Foreign Large Category and Foreign Large Peer Group. The Board considered that there were several funds in the Foreign Large Category and the Foreign Large Peer Group that had equal gross and net expense ratios to that of the International Large ETF, as well as higher gross and net expense ratios to those of the International Large ETF. The Board noted that the fees to be paid to Tidal under the Applied Finance Sub-Advisory Agreement were consistent with the range of fees that it represented that it assessed to other clients. The Trustees also considered the split of the advisory fees paid to Applied Finance versus those paid to Tidal and the respective services provided by each to the International Large ETF. The Board also considered the projected profitability in managing the International Large ETF. The Board regarded International Large ETF’s fees and expenses as within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm’s length in light of all of the facts and circumstances.

For the International SMID ETF, the Trustees considered its expenses, including its advisory fees, relative to its Morningstar category, the Foreign Small/Mid Blend category (the “Foreign SMID Category”), and its peer group consisting of f funds (the “Foreign SMID Peer Group”). The Board noted a range of gross and net advisory fees for both the Foreign SMID Category and Foreign SMID Peer Group, and that the proposed management fee for the International SMID ETF was higher than the medians for the Foreign SMID Category and Foreign SMID Peer Group; the Trustees also noted that the proposed fee for the International SMID ETF was higher than all but one other ETF on a gross and net basis as compared to the Foreign SMID Peer Group. The Trustees further noted that the International SMID ETF’s gross and net expense ratios were higher than the median gross and net expense ratios of its Foreign Small/Mid Category and the median gross and net expense ratios of its Foreign SMID Peer Group. The Board considered that the International SMID ETF’s gross and net expense ratios were not the highest in the Foreign SMID Category and the Foreign SMID Peer Group. The Board noted that the fees to be paid to Tidal under the Applied Finance Sub-Advisory Agreement were consistent with the range of fees that it represented that it assessed to other clients. The Trustees also considered the split of the advisory fees paid to Applied Finance versus those paid to Tidal and the respective services provided by each to the International SMID ETF. The Board also considered the projected profitability in managing the International SMID ETF. The Board regarded International SMID ETF’s fees and expenses as within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm’s length in light of all of the facts and circumstances.

After further consideration, the Board concluded that the profitability and fees to be paid to Applied Finance (who in turn would pay Tidal) were within an acceptable range in light of the services to be rendered by Applied Finance.

4.The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Applied Finance ETF grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of each Applied Finance ETF’s shareholders.

The Trustees considered that each Applied Finance ETF is not of sufficient size to achieve economies of scale and that there are no breakpoints in the AF Advisory Agreement. However, they noted that the unitary fee structure limits each Applied Finance ETF shareholders’ exposure to fee increases.

5.Possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.

In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the advisory and sub-advisory personnel assigned to the Applied Finance ETFs; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the Applied Finance ETFs; the substance and administration of the Codes of Ethics and other relevant policies of Applied Finance and Tidal. The Board noted that Applied Finance represented that it has not and does not anticipate utilizing soft dollars or commission recapture with regard to the Applied Finance ETFs.

The Board considered the affiliations of Applied Finance, including its affiliate that produces and sells investment research, and the Board considered that Applied Finance is the investment adviser to the Applied Finance Funds, which are series of the World Funds Trust. It was noted that Applied Finance represented that the Applied Finance Funds may invest in the Applied Finance ETFs from time to time for the same reasons they would invest in other non-affiliated mutual funds or ETFs. Applied Finance represented that it does not believe such investments will raise conflicts or be duplicative services. The Board also considered potential benefits for Applied Finance and Tidal in managing the Applied Finance ETFs. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board indicated that the standards and practices of Applied Finance and Tidal relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest, as well as the benefits to be derived from managing the Applied Finance ETFs were satisfactory.

After additional consideration of the factors delineated in the memorandum provided by Trust Counsel and further discussion and careful review by the Trustees, the Board determined that the compensation payable under the

EXHIBIT 99.CODE ETH

 

 

ETF OPPORTUNITIES TRUST

CODE OF ETHICS FOR SENIOR OFFICERS

 

Preamble

 

Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 directs that rules be adopted disclosing whether a company has a code of ethics for senior financial officers. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rules requiring annual disclosure of an investment company’s code of ethics applicable to the company’s principal executive as well as principal financial officers, if such a code has been adopted. In response, ETF Opportunities Trust (the “Company”) has adopted this Code of Ethics (the “Code”).

 

Statement of Policy

 

It is the obligation of the senior officers of the Company to provide full, fair, timely and comprehensible disclosure--financial and otherwise--to Company shareholders, regulatory authorities and the general public. In fulfilling that obligation, senior officers must act ethically, honestly and diligently. This Code is intended to enunciate guidelines to be followed by persons who serve the Company in senior officer positions. No Code of Ethics can address every situation that a senior officer might face; however, as a guiding principle, senior officers should strive to implement the spirit as well as the letter of applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to provide the type of clear and complete disclosure and information Company shareholders have a right to expect.

 

The purpose of this Code of Ethics is to promote high standards of ethical conduct by Covered Persons (as defined below) in their capacities as officers of the Company, to instruct them as to what is considered to be inappropriate and unacceptable conduct or activities for officers and to prohibit such conduct or activities. This Code supplements other policies that the Company and its adviser has adopted or may adopt in the future with which Company officers are also required to comply (e.g., code of ethics relating to personal trading and conduct).

 

Covered Persons

 

This Code of Ethics applies to those persons appointed by the Company’s Board of Trustees as Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, or persons performing similar functions.

 

Promotion of Honest and Ethical Conduct

 

In serving as an officer of the Company, each Covered Person must maintain high standards of honesty and ethical conduct and must encourage his colleagues who provide services to the Company, whether directly or indirectly, to do the same.

 

Each Covered Person understands that as an officer of the Company, he has a duty to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The interests of the Covered Person’s personal interests should not be allowed to compromise the Covered Person from fulfilling his duties as an officer of the Company.

 

If a Covered Person believes that his personal interests are likely to materially compromise his objectivity or his ability to perform the duties of his role as an officer of the Company, he should consult with the Company’s chief legal officer or outside counsel. Under appropriate circumstances, a Covered Person should also consider whether to present the matter to the Trustees of the Company or a committee thereof.

 

No Covered Person shall suggest that any person providing, or soliciting to be retained to provide, services to a Company give a gift or an economic benefit of any kind to him in connection with the person’s retention or the provision of services.

   
   

 

Promotion of Full, Fair, Accurate, Timely and Understandable Disclosure

 

No Covered Person shall create or further the creation of false or misleading information in any SEC filing or report to Company shareholders. No Covered Person shall conceal or fail to disclose information within the Covered Person’s possession legally required to be disclosed or necessary to make the disclosure made not misleading. If a Covered Person shall become aware that information filed with the SEC or made available to the public contains any false or misleading information or omits to disclose necessary information, he shall promptly report it to Company counsel, who shall advise such Covered Person whether corrective action is necessary or appropriate.

 

Each Covered Person, consistent with his responsibilities, shall exercise appropriate supervision over, and shall assist, Company service providers in developing financial information and other disclosure that complies with relevant law and presents information in a clear, comprehensible and complete manner. Each Covered Person shall use his best efforts within his area of expertise to assure that Company reports reveal, rather than conceal, the Company’s financial condition.

 

Each Covered Person shall seek to obtain additional resources if he believes that available resources are inadequate to enable the Company to provide full, fair and accurate financial information and other disclosure to regulators and Company shareholders.

 

Each Covered Person shall inquire of other Company officers and service providers, as appropriate, to assure that information provided is accurate and complete and presented in an understandable format using comprehensible language.

 

Each Covered Person shall diligently perform his services to the Company, so that information can be gathered and assessed early enough to facilitate timely filings and issuance of reports and required certifications.

 

Promotion of Compliance with Applicable Government Laws, Rules and Regulations

 

Each Covered Person shall become and remain knowledgeable concerning the laws and regulations relating to the Company and its operations and shall act with competence and due care in serving as an officer of the Company. Each Covered Person with specific responsibility for financial statement disclosure will become and remain knowledgeable concerning relevant auditing standards, generally accepted accounting principles, FASB pronouncements and other accounting and tax literature and developments.

 

Each Covered Person shall devote sufficient time to fulfilling his responsibilities to the Company.

 

Each Covered Person shall cooperate with the Company’s independent auditors, regulatory agencies and internal auditors in their review or inspection of the Company and its operations.

 

No Covered Person shall knowingly violate any law or regulation relating to the Company or their operations or seek to illegally circumvent any such law or regulation.

 

No Covered Person shall engage in any conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation involving the Company or their operations.

 

Promoting Prompt Internal Reporting of Violations

 

Each Covered Person shall promptly report his own violations of this Code and violations by other Covered Persons of which he is aware to the Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee.

 

Any requests for a waiver from or an amendment to this Code shall be made to the Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee. All waivers and amendments shall be disclosed as required by law.

 

 

 

Sanctions

 

Failure to comply with this Code will subject the violator to appropriate sanctions, which will vary based on the nature and severity of the violation. Such sanctions may include censure, suspension or termination of position as an officer of the Company. Sanctions shall be imposed by the Company’s Audit Committee, subject to review by the entire Board of Trustees of the Company.

 


Each Covered Person shall be required to certify annually whether he has complied with this Code.

 

No Rights Created

 

This Code of Ethics is a statement of certain fundamental principles, policies and procedures that govern the Company’s senior officers in the conduct of the Company’s business. It is not intended to and does not create any rights in any employee, investor, supplier, competitor, shareholder or any other person or entity.

 

Recordkeeping

 

The Company will maintain and preserve for a period of not less than six (6) years from the date such action is taken, the first two (2) years in an easily accessible place, a copy of the information or materials supplied to the Board (1) that provided the basis for any amendment or waiver to this Code and (2) relating to any violation of the Code and sanctions imposed for such violation, together with a written record of the approval or action taken by the Board.

 

Amendments

 

The Trustees will make and approve such changes to this Code of Ethics as they deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Code.
