    Legg Mason Mercados emergentes Baja volatilidad Alto dividendo ETF

    Resumen del fondo

    P. ¿Cuál es la estrategia de inversión del Fondo?

    A. El ETF de Legg Mason Emerging Markets Low Volatility High Dividend (el "Fondo") busca rastrear los resultados de inversión del QS Emerging Markets Low Volatility High Dividend Hedged Index (el
    "Índice subyacente"). El índice subyacente busca proporcionar ingresos estables a través de inversiones en acciones de compañías rentables en mercados emergentes fuera de los Estados Unidos con rendimientos de dividendos relativamente altos o dividendos anticipados
    rendimientos y menor volatilidad de precios y ganancias, al tiempo que mitiga la exposición a las fluctuaciones del tipo de cambio entre el dólar estadounidense y las monedas en las que están denominados los valores componentes. El índice subyacente está diseñado para tener mayores rendimientos
    que una inversión no cubierta equivalente cuando las monedas en las que están denominados sus valores componentes se debilitan en relación con el dólar estadounidense. Por el contrario, el índice subyacente está diseñado para tener rendimientos más bajos que un equivalente sin cobertura
    inversión cuando las monedas en las que están denominados sus valores componentes están aumentando en relación con el dólar estadounidense. El índice subyacente se basa en una metodología patentada creada y patrocinada por QS Investors, LLC ("QS
    Inversores "), el subconsejero del Fondo.

    El Fondo invertirá al menos el 80% de sus activos netos, más préstamos para fines de inversión, si los hubiera, en
    valores que componen su índice subyacente. Los valores que componen el Índice subyacente incluyen recibos de depósito que representan valores en el Índice subyacente. Si bien las acciones de los mercados emergentes son volátiles, el índice subyacente busca tener
    menos volatilidad que los mercados emergentes en general.

    El índice subyacente está compuesto por valores de renta variable en mercados emergentes fuera de
    de los Estados Unidos a través de una gama de capitalizaciones de mercado que se incluyen en el índice IMCI de mercados emergentes de MSCI
    yo.

    Los componentes del índice subyacente se reconstituyen anualmente y se reequilibran trimestralmente. El índice subyacente es
    reconstituido en una fecha diferente del índice IMCI de mercados emergentes de MSCI. La cartera de valores del Fondo se reequilibra cuando el Índice subyacente se reequilibra o se reconstituye. La composición del Índice subyacente y el Fondo después
    La reconstitución y el reequilibrio pueden fluctuar y exceder las limitaciones anteriores del índice subyacente debido a los movimientos del mercado. Los componentes del Índice subyacente, y el grado en que estos componentes representan ciertos sectores e industrias, pueden
    cambian con el tiempo.

    El Fondo puede invertir hasta el 20% de sus activos netos en contratos a plazo en moneda extranjera y otros instrumentos de cobertura de divisas, ciertos
    índices de futuros, opciones, opciones sobre futuros de índices, contratos swap u otros derivados relacionados con su Índice subyacente y sus valores componentes; Efectivo y equivalentes de efectivo; otras compañías de inversión, incluidos los fondos cotizados en bolsa;
    notas negociadas en bolsa; y en valores y otros instrumentos no incluidos en su Índice subyacente, pero que QS Investors cree que ayudarán al Fondo a rastrear su Índice subyacente.

    El Fondo invierte en instrumentos de cobertura de divisas para compensar la exposición del Fondo a las monedas en las que están denominadas las tenencias del Fondo. El Fondo también puede invertir en

    segmentos de mercados locales para fines de gestión de flujo de caja y como técnica de gestión de cartera.

    P. ¿Cuáles fueron el mercado general
    condiciones durante el período de informe del Fondo?

    A. Renta variable de mercados emergentes medida por los mercados emergentes de MSCI
    Índice
    ii ligeramente inferior al rendimiento de sus homólogos desarrollados, medido por
    el índice mundial MSCI
    iii para el período de informe de doce meses finalizado
    31 de octubre de 2019. Durante la mayor parte del período, el bajo rendimiento fue significativo, a pesar del rendimiento superior en los primeros tres meses del período de informe (desde el 1 de noviembre de 2018 hasta el 31 de enero de 2019) y nuevamente en el último mes.
    del período del informe (octubre de 2019).

    Durante los primeros tres meses del período sobre el que se informa, la renta variable de los mercados emergentes superó al mercado desarrollado
    acciones A partir de febrero de 2019, las acciones de los mercados emergentes tuvieron un rendimiento inferior al de las acciones de los mercados desarrollados, mientras que se mantuvieron moderadamente positivas durante el resto del primer trimestre calendario de 2019. El mercado más grande, China, y uno de los más pequeños,
    Colombia, fue el mejor desempeño a nivel mundial en términos de dólares estadounidenses. Las acciones chinas vieron un fuerte interés de los inversores extranjeros. La mayoría de los otros mercados tuvieron un rendimiento inferior al Índice de Mercados Emergentes de MSCI, y varios disminuyeron a medida que las monedas se debilitaron frente al
    Dólar estadounidense durante gran parte del trimestre. Los otros dos mercados más grandes, Corea del Sur y Taiwán, continuaron experimentando una demanda anémica tanto en las ventas nacionales como de exportación y se mantuvieron en contracción. A pesar de que la mayoría de los mercados experimentan disminuciones en las métricas de crecimiento,
    El optimismo empresarial se mantuvo estable en la continuación de las conversaciones comerciales entre China y Estados Unidos y la acción del banco central en muchos mercados. Además, varios mercados, como Tailandia e Indonesia, experimentaron un crecimiento mejorado durante el trimestre.

    La renta variable de los mercados emergentes registró un rendimiento inferior a la renta variable de los mercados desarrollados, aunque siguió siendo moderadamente positiva para el segundo trimestre calendario de 2019. China
    se vio afectado negativamente por la incertidumbre del comercio mundial y el aumento mutuo de los aranceles sobre los bienes importados. Espera una reanudación de las conversaciones comerciales entre Estados Unidos y China y una reducción de los aranceles comerciales luego de la

    Acciones chinas en junio de 2019.

    Las acciones de los mercados emergentes continuaron por debajo del rendimiento de las acciones de los mercados desarrollados hasta el tercero.
    trimestre calendario de 2019. Los mercados mundiales de renta variable siguieron siendo bastante volátiles, con un rendimiento mixto en todos los sectores y regiones de renta variable. Preocupaciones sobre el debilitamiento del crecimiento económico global, la inversión de la curva de rendimiento de los EE. UU.
    v (a principios del trimestre), tensiones relacionadas con el comercio entre Estados Unidos y China, fricciones en
    Oriente Medio, y la incertidumbre en torno al Brexit siguió sacudiendo a los inversores. La Organización Mundial del Comercio redujo su pronóstico de crecimiento del comercio mundial para 2019 al nivel más débil en una década, advirtiendo que nuevas rondas de aranceles en un entorno de
    una mayor incertidumbre podría provocar un "ciclo destructivo de recriminación".

    La volatilidad en los mercados de renta variable mundiales retrocedió durante octubre de 2019 y
    las acciones de los mercados emergentes se recuperaron bruscamente. Desarrollos positivos en las negociaciones comerciales entre Estados Unidos y China, un tercero

    veinticinco puntos básicosvi reducción de la tasa de interés en cuestión de meses de la Junta de la Reserva Federal de los Estados Unidos (la "Fed")vii y la estabilización de los precios de los productos básicos contribuyó al optimismo de los inversores.

    El Fondo utiliza un enfoque de inversión pasiva para lograr su objetivo de inversión y, por lo tanto, no realizó ningún cambio en el enfoque de inversión en respuesta al mercado
    condiciones

    RIESGOS Los valores de renta variable están sujetos a las fluctuaciones del mercado y de los precios. Internacional
    Las inversiones están sujetas a riesgos especiales que incluyen fluctuaciones monetarias, incertidumbres sociales, económicas y políticas, que podrían aumentar la volatilidad. Estos riesgos se magnifican en los mercados emergentes. El Fondo puede enfocar sus inversiones en ciertos
    industrias, aumentando su vulnerabilidad a la volatilidad del mercado. No hay garantía de que un Fondo logre un alto grado de correlación con el índice que busca rastrear. El Fondo no busca superar el índice que rastrea, y no busca
    posiciones defensivas temporales cuando los mercados disminuyen o parecen sobrevalorados. Los derivados, como las opciones y los futuros, pueden ser ilíquidos, aumentar desproporcionadamente las pérdidas y tener un impacto potencialmente grande en el rendimiento del Fondo. En mercados al alza,
    El valor de capa larga las existencias pueden no aumentar tanto como la de tapa más pequeña cepo. Pequeño-
    y media tapa las acciones implican mayores riesgos y volatilidad que las acciones de gran capitalización. La inversión en divisas contiene un mayor riesgo que incluye el mercado, la política, la regulación.
    y condiciones nacionales, y puede no ser adecuado para todos los inversores. Consulte el folleto del Fondo para obtener una discusión más completa sobre estos y otros riesgos y las estrategias de inversión del Fondo.

    La mención de desgloses sectoriales es solo para fines informativos y no debe interpretarse como una recomendación para comprar o vender valores. los
    La información proporcionada sobre tales sectores no es una base suficiente sobre la cual tomar una decisión de inversión. Inversores que buscan asesoramiento financiero sobre la conveniencia de invertir en valores o estrategias de inversión discutidas
    debe consultar a su profesional financiero. Las cinco principales tenencias del Fondo (como porcentaje de los activos netos) del Fondo al 31 de octubre de 2019 fueron: Finanzas (21.3%), Energía (15.3%), Materiales (14.6%), Servicios de comunicación (12.6%) y
    Tecnología de la información (7,9%). La composición del Fondo puede variar con el tiempo.

    Todas las inversiones están sujetas a riesgos, incluida la posible pérdida de
    principal. El rendimiento pasado no es garantía de resultados futuros. Un índice es un compuesto estadístico que rastrea un mercado financiero específico, un sector o un proceso de inversión basado en reglas. A diferencia de un fondo, un índice en realidad no tiene una cartera de
    valores y por lo tanto no incurre en los gastos incurridos por un fondo. Estos gastos afectan negativamente el rendimiento del fondo. Todo el rendimiento del índice no refleja ninguna deducción por honorarios, gastos o impuestos. Tenga en cuenta que un inversor no puede invertir directamente
    en un índice

    La información proporcionada no pretende ser un pronóstico de eventos futuros, una garantía de resultados futuros o asesoramiento de inversión. Puntos de vista

    Gastos del fondo
    (sin auditar)

    Ejemplo

    Como accionista del Fondo, usted
    puede incurrir en dos tipos de costos: (1) costos de transacción, tales como comisiones de corretaje pagadas por compras y ventas de acciones del Fondo; y (2) costos continuos, incluidos los honorarios de gestión; y otros gastos del Fondo. Este ejemplo está destinado a ayudarte
    comprenda sus costos actuales (en dólares) de invertir en el Fondo y compare estos costos con los costos continuos de invertir en otros fondos.

    Esta
    El ejemplo se basa en una inversión de $ 1,000 invertidos el 1 de mayo de 2019 y mantenidos durante los seis meses finalizados el 31 de octubre de 2019.

    Gastos reales

    La siguiente tabla titulada
    "Basado en el rendimiento total real" proporciona información sobre los valores reales de la cuenta y los gastos reales. Puede usar la información proporcionada en esta tabla, junto con la cantidad que invirtió, para estimar los gastos que pagó durante
    período. Para estimar los gastos que pagó en su cuenta, divida el valor de su cuenta final entre $ 1,000 (por ejemplo, un valor de cuenta final de $ 8,600 dividido entre $ 1,000 = 8.6), luego multiplique el resultado por el número bajo el título titulado
    "Gastos pagados durante el período".

    Ejemplo hipotético para fines de comparación.

    La siguiente tabla titulada "Basado en el rendimiento hipotético total" proporciona información sobre los valores hipotéticos de la cuenta y los gastos hipotéticos basados ​​en el
    índice de gastos reales y una tasa de rendimiento supuesta del 5,00% anual antes de los gastos, que no es el rendimiento real del Fondo. Los valores y gastos hipotéticos de la cuenta no se pueden usar para estimar el saldo final de la cuenta o los gastos
    Usted pagó por el período. Puede utilizar la información proporcionada en esta tabla para comparar los costos continuos de invertir en el Fondo y otros fondos. Para hacerlo, compare el ejemplo hipotético del 5.00% relacionado con el Fondo con el hipotético del 5.00%
    ejemplos que aparecen en los informes de accionistas de los otros fondos.

    Tenga en cuenta que los gastos que se muestran en la tabla a continuación están destinados a resaltar su
    costos continuos únicamente y no reflejan costos transaccionales, como las comisiones de corretaje pagadas por compras y ventas de acciones del Fondo. Por lo tanto, la tabla es útil para comparar solo los costos en curso y no lo ayudará a determinar la relación
    costos totales de poseer diferentes fondos. Además, si se incluyeran estos costos de transacción, sus costos habrían sido más altos.

    Los inversores compran y venden acciones del Fondo a precio de mercado, no NAV, en el mercado secundario durante el día de negociación. Estas acciones no son individuales
    disponible para compra directa o redención directa al Fondo. El VAN por acción del Fondo es el valor de una acción del Fondo y se calcula dividiendo el valor de los activos totales menos los pasivos totales por el número de acciones
    excepcional. El rendimiento del valor liquidativo se basa en el valor liquidativo del fondo y el rendimiento del precio de mercado generalmente se basa en el punto medio entre la oferta y la demanda en el principal mercado de negociación del Fondo cuando el
    Se determina el valor liquidativo del fondo, que suele ser a las 4:00 p.m. Hora del este (EE. UU.). Estos rendimientos no representan los rendimientos de los inversores si hubieran negociado acciones en otros momentos. El rendimiento del NAV y del precio de mercado supone que los dividendos y la ganancia de capital
    las distribuciones se han reinvertido en el Fondo a precio de mercado y NAV, respectivamente. Al igual que con otros fondos que cotizan en bolsa, los rendimientos de NAV y los precios de mercado pueden diferir debido a factores como la oferta y la demanda de acciones del Fondo
    evaluación de los inversores del valor subyacente de los valores de cartera del Fondo.

    fecha), suponiendo la reinversión de todas las distribuciones, incluidos los retornos de capital, si los hubiera, al valor del activo neto hasta el 31 de octubre de 2019. La ilustración hipotética también supone una inversión de $ 10,000 en los mercados emergentes de baja volatilidad de QS
    Índice de cobertura de alto dividendo y el índice local IMCI de mercados emergentes de MSCI (neto). The Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of
    shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund. The QS Emerging Markets Low Volatility High Dividend Hedged Index (the “Underlying Index”) is based on a proprietary methodology created and sponsored by QS Investors,
    LLC, the Fund’s subadviser. The MSCI Emerging Markets IMI Local Index (Net) captures large-, mid-and small-cap representation across 23 Emerging Markets countries.
    With 2,655 constituents, the index covers approximately 99% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. The local version of the index calculates performance utilizing local currencies taking out the effect of converting to the
    U.S. dollar. The indices are not subject to the same management and trading expenses as a fund. An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market, sector, or rules-based investment process. Unlike a fund, an index does not
    actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. All index performance reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Please note that an
    investor cannot invest directly in an index.

    Notes to financial statements

    1. Organization and significant accounting policies

    Legg Mason Emerging Markets Low Volatility High Dividend ETF (the “Fund”) is a separate diversified investment series of Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust
    (the “Trust”). The Trust, a Maryland statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

    The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). ETFs are funds that trade like other publicly-traded securities. The Fund is designed to track an
    index. Similar to shares of an index mutual fund, each share of the Fund represents an ownership interest in an underlying portfolio of securities intended to track an index. Unlike shares of a mutual fund, which can be bought from and redeemed by
    the issuing fund by all shareholders at a price based on net asset value (“NAV”), shares of the Fund may be directly purchased from and redeemed by the Fund at NAV solely by certain large institutional investors who have entered into
    agreements with the Fund’s distributor (“Authorized Participants”). Also unlike shares of a mutual fund, shares of the Fund are listed on a national securities exchange and trade in the secondary market at market prices that change
    throughout the day.

    Shares of the Fund are listed and traded at market prices on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. The market price for the Fund’s shares
    may be different from the Fund’s NAV. The Fund issues and redeems shares at NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem Creation Units
    directly with the Fund at NAV. Creation Units generally are issued and redeemed partially in-kind for a basket of securities and partially in cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund
    are not redeemable securities. Shareholders who are not Authorized Participants may not redeem shares directly from the Fund at NAV.

    The Fund seeks to
    track the investment results of the QS Emerging Markets Low Volatility High Dividend Hedged Index (the “Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index seeks to provide more stable income through investments in stocks of profitable companies in
    emerging markets outside of the United States with relatively high dividend yields or anticipated dividend yields and lower price and earnings volatility, while mitigating exposure to exchange-rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and currencies
    in which the component securities are denominated and is based on a proprietary methodology created and sponsored by QS Investors, LLC, the Fund’s subadviser.

    The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Estimates and assumptions are
    required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these
    estimates could cause actual results to differ. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.

    Notes to financial statements (cont’d)

    (a) Investment valuation. Equity securities for which market
    quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to,
    corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use
    market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds,
    credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. Investments in open-end funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each fund on the day of valuation. Futures
    contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. When the Fund holds securities or other assets that are denominated in a foreign currency, the Fund will use the currency
    exchange rates, generally determined as of 4:00 p.m. (London Time). If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the manager to be unreliable, the market
    price may be determined by the manager using quotations from one or more broker/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. Cuando
    reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net
    asset value, the Fund values these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

    The Board of
    Trustees is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the supervision of the daily valuation process to the Legg Mason North Atlantic Fund Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”). The Valuation Committee, pursuant to
    the policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Fund’s pricing policies, and reporting to the Board of Trustees. When determining the reliability of third
    party pricing information for investments owned by the Fund, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of pricing vendors, monitors the daily change in prices and reviews transactions among market participants.

    The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making fair value determinations. Examples of
    possible methodologies include, but are not limited to, multiple of earnings; discount from market of a similar freely traded security; discounted cash-flow analysis; book value or a multiple thereof; risk premium/yield analysis; yield to maturity;
    and/or fundamental investment analysis. The Valuation Committee will also consider factors it deems relevant and appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances. Examples of possible factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security;
    the issuer’s financial statements; the purchase price of the security; the discount

    26

    Legg Mason Emerging Markets Low Volatility High Dividend ETF 2019 Annual Report

    from market value of unrestricted
    securities of the same class at the time of purchase; analysts’ research and observations from financial institutions; information regarding any transactions or offers with respect to the security; the existence of merger proposals or tender
    offers affecting the security; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies; and the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities.

    For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, the fair value price is compared against the last
    available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such back testing monthly and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Trustees quarterly.

    The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and
    the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future
    cash flows to present value.

    GAAP establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and
    liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

    •

    Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

    •

    Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

    •

    Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

    The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
    securities.

    — $ 78,982 — $ 78,982

    †

    See Schedule of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

    (b) Futures contracts. The Fund uses futures contracts generally to gain exposure or manage exposure to certain asset classes, sectors, or
    markets or for cash management purposes. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date.

    Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash or securities with a broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the ‘‘initial
    margin’’ and subsequent payments (‘‘variation margin’’) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. For certain futures, including foreign denominated
    futures, variation margin is not settled daily,

    28

    Legg Mason Emerging Markets Low Volatility High Dividend ETF 2019 Annual Report

    but is recorded as a net variation margin payable or receivable. The daily changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations and the Fund
    recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.

    Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the amounts
    reflected in the financial statements. In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

    (c) Forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund enters into a forward foreign currency contract to hedge against foreign currency
    exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated securities or to facilitate settlement of a foreign currency denominated portfolio transaction. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between
    two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price with delivery and settlement at a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is
    recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is closed, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal
    to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it is closed.

    Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

    Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign
    exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

    (d) Foreign currency translation. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities
    denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies
    are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions.

    The Fund does not isolate
    that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and
    unrealized gain or loss on investments.

    Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses
    on forward foreign currency contracts, 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 the
    Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net

    Notes to financial statements (cont’d)

    unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in
    securities, on the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

    Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain
    considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and
    the possibility of political or economic instability.

    (e) Foreign investment
    risks.
    The Fund’s investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require
    settlement in foreign currencies or pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign
    investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.

    (f) Counterparty risk and credit-risk-related contingent features of derivative instruments.
    The Fund may invest in certain securities or engage in other transactions, where the Fund is exposed to counterparty credit risk in addition to broader market risks. The Fund may invest in
    securities of issuers, which may also be considered counterparties as trading partners in other transactions. This may increase the risk of loss in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty or if the counterparty otherwise fails to meet
    its contractual obligations. The Fund’s subadviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to
    each individual counterparty based on its assessment and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. Market events and changes in overall economic conditions may impact the assessment of such counterparty risk by
    the subadviser. In addition, declines in the values of underlying collateral received may expose the Fund to increased risk of loss.

    With exchange
    traded and centrally cleared derivatives, there is less counterparty risk to the Fund since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the
    seller of the contract; therefore, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the
    event of a default of the clearing broker or clearinghouse.

    The Fund has entered into master agreements, such as an International Swaps and Derivatives
    Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement, with certain of its derivative counterparties that govern over-the-counter

    derivatives and

    30

    Legg Mason Emerging Markets Low Volatility High Dividend ETF 2019 Annual Report

    provide for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral posting terms, netting provisions in the event of default or termination and credit related contingent features. los
    credit related contingent features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets or NAV over a specified period of time. If these credit related contingent features were triggered, the derivatives counterparty
    could terminate the positions and demand payment or require additional collateral.

    Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain
    circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. However, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a
    termination of the agreement, the terms of the ISDA Master Agreements do not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Fund and
    the applicable counterparty. The enforceability of the right to offset may vary by jurisdiction.

    Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative.
    Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearinghouse for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for
    over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported
    separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in the Schedule of Investments.

    As of October 31, 2019, the Fund held forward foreign currency contracts with credit related contingent features which had a liability position of $78,982. If a contingent feature in the master agreements
    would have been triggered, the Fund would have been required to pay this amount to its derivatives counterparties.

    (g) Security
    transactions and investment income.
    Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income (including interest income from payment-in-kind securities), adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
    ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund
    determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method. To the extent any issuer defaults or a credit event occurs that
    impacts the issuer, the Fund may halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default or credit event.

    (h) Distributions to shareholders. Distributions from net investment income of the Fund, if any, are declared and paid on a quarterly
    basis. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the

    Legg Mason Emerging Markets Low Volatility High Dividend ETF 2019 Annual Report

    31


    Notes to financial statements (cont’d)

    ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ
    from GAAP.

    (i) Federal and other taxes. It is the Fund’s policy to comply
    with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute its taxable income and net
    realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. Therefore, no federal or state income tax provision is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

    Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of October 31, 2019, no
    provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to
    examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

    Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on
    interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates. Realized gains upon disposition of securities issued in or by certain foreign countries are subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries. As of October 31, 2019, there were
    $5,172 of capital gains tax liabilities accrued on unrealized gains.

    (j) Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset
    value per share. During the current year ended, the following reclassifications have been made:

    Total Distributable
    Earnings (Loss)
    Paid-in
    Capital
    (a) $ (26) $ 26

    (a)

    Reclassifications are due to foreign currency transactions treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.

    2. Investment management agreement and other transactions with affiliates

    Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (“LMPFA”) is the Fund’s investment manager and QS Investors, LLC (“QS Investors”) is the Fund’s subadviser. Western Asset Management Company, LLC
    (“Western Asset”) manages the portion of the Fund’s cash and short-term instruments allocated to it. LMPFA, QS Investors and Western Asset are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”).

    LMPFA provides administrative and certain oversight services to the Fund. LMPFA delegates to the subadviser the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Fund is responsible for paying interest expenses, taxes, brokerage expenses, future 12b-1 fees (if any), acquired fund
    fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses and the management fee payable to LMPFA under the investment management agreement.

    32

    Legg Mason Emerging Markets Low Volatility High Dividend ETF 2019 Annual Report

    Under the investment management agreement and subject to the general supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees,
    LMPFA provides or causes to be furnished all investment management, supervisory, administrative and other services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund, including certain distribution services (provided pursuant to a separate
    distribution agreement) and investment advisory services (provided pursuant to separate subadvisory agreements) under a unitary fee structure. The Fund pays an investment management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50%
    of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

    As compensation for its subadvisory services, LMPFA pays QS Investors monthly 90% of the management fee
    paid by the Fund to LMPFA, net of (i) all fees and expenses incurred by LMPFA under the investment management agreement (including without limitation any subadvisory fee paid to another subadviser to the Fund) and (ii) expense waivers, if
    any, and reimbursements. LMPFA pays Western Asset monthly a fee of 0.02% of the portion of the Fund’s average daily net assets allocated to Western Asset for the management of cash and other short-term instruments, net of expense waivers, if
    any, and reimbursements.

    Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC, a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Legg Mason, serves as the distributor of Creation
    Units for the Fund on an agency basis.

    The Fund’s Board of Trustees has adopted a Rule 12b-1 shareholder
    services and distribution plan and under that plan, the Fund is authorized to pay service and/or distribution fees calculated at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets. No service and/or distribution fees are currently paid by
    the Fund, and there are no current plans to impose these fees.

    All officers and one Trustee of the Trust are employees of Legg Mason or its affiliates
    and do not receive compensation from the Trust.

    5. Fund share transactions

    A
    October 31, 2019, the Trust had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest authorized with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units or Creation Unit aggregations, where
    120,000 shares of the Fund constitute a Creation Unit. Such transactions are generally made partially on an in-kind basis and partially on cash basis, with a separate cash payment, which is a balancing cash
    component to equate the transaction to the net asset value per share of the Fund on the transaction date. Transactions in capital shares of the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Authorized Participants are
    subject to standard creation and redemption transaction fees to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Creations and redemptions for cash (when cash creations and redemptions are
    available or specified) may be subject to an additional variable fee.

    For the year ended October 31, 2019, there was no variable fee recorded to paid-in capital. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the variable fee amounted to $3,662 and is recorded to paid-in capital.

    6. Income tax information and distributions to shareholders

    The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended October 31, was as follows:

    2019 2018
    Distributions paid from:
    Ordinary income $ 269,950 $ 257,494
    Net long-term capital gains 62,257 —
    Total distributions paid $ 332,207 $ 257,494

    As of October 31, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

    Undistributed ordinary income — net $ 98,567
    Deferred capital losses* (156,149)
    Other book/tax temporary differences(a) 48,782
    Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)(b) (199,968)
    Total accumulated earnings (losses) — net $ (208,768)

    * *

    These capital losses have been deferred in the current year as either short-term or long-term losses. The losses will be deemed to occur on the first
    day of the next taxable year in the same character as they were originally deferred and will be available to offset future taxable capital gains.

    (a)

    Other book/tax temporary differences are attributable to the realization for tax purposes on unrealized gains (losses) on certain foreign currency contracts.

    (b)

    The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax
    deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies and the difference between the book and tax cost basis in limited partnership investments.

    7. Recent accounting pronouncements

    The Fund has adopted the disclosure provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic
    820)
    — Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”) which introduces new fair value disclosure requirements as
    well as eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
    those fiscal years; however, management has elected to early adopt ASU 2018-13. The impact of the Fund’s adoption was limited to changes in the Fund’s financial statement disclosures regarding fair
    value, primarily those disclosures related to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

    In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange
    Commission released its Final Rule on Disclosure Update and Simplification (the “Final Rule”) which is intended to simplify an issuer’s disclosure compliance efforts by removing redundant or outdated disclosure requirements without
    significantly altering the mix of information provided to investors. Effective with the current reporting period, the Fund adopted the Final Rule with the most notable impacts

    being that the Fund is no longer required
    to present the components of distributable earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities or the sources of distributions to shareholders and the amount of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The tax
    components of distributable earnings and distributions to shareholders continue to be disclosed within the Notes to Financial Statements.

    Opinion on the financial statements

    We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Legg Mason Emerging Markets Low Volatility High
    Dividend ETF (one of the funds constituting Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statement of

    November 17, 2016 (inception date) through October 31, 2017 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
    the Fund as of October 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the two years in

    “independent” Trustees pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR.

    ITEM 4.

    PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

    a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the last two fiscal years ending October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2019 (the
    “Reporting Periods”) for professional services rendered by the Registrant’s principal accountant (the “Auditor”) for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by
    the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $140,000 in October 31, 2018 and $90,000 in October 31, 2019.

    b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Period for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are
    reasonably related to the performance of the Registrant’s financial statements were $52,489 in October 31, 2018 and $0 in October 31, 2019.

    In addition, there were no Audit-Related Fees billed in the Reporting Period for assurance and related services by the Auditor to the
    Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity
    controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust (“service affiliates”), that were reasonably related to the performance of the annual
    audit of the service affiliates. Accordingly, there were no such fees that required pre-approval by the Audit Committee for the Reporting Period.

    (c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the Auditor for tax compliance,
    tax advice and tax planning (“Tax Services”) were $0 in October 31, 2018 and $0 in October 31, 2019. These services consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S.
    federal, state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments, and (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or
    proposed to be acquired or held.

    There were no fees billed for tax services by the Auditors to service affiliates during the Reporting
    Periods that required pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

    re) All Other Fees.

    The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the Auditor, other than the services reported in
    paragraphs (a) through (c) for the Item 4 for the Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust, were $0 in October 31, 2018 and $0 in October 31, 2019.


    All Other Fees. There were no other non-audit services
    rendered by the Auditor to Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisors, LLC (“LMPFA”), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with LMPFA that provided ongoing services to Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee in the Reporting Period.

    (e) Audit Committee’s
    pre–approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c) (7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

    (1) The Charter for the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of each registered investment company (the “Fund”)
    advised by LMPFA or one of their affiliates (each, an “Adviser”) requires that the Committee shall approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Fund and
    (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to the Adviser and any Covered Service Providers if the engagement relates directly to the operations and
    financial reporting of the Fund. The Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.

    The Committee shall not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may impair the
    independence of the auditors. As of the date of the approval of this Audit Committee Charter, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services), that are not prohibited
    services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible
    non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and
    implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit
    outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other
    service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

    Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit
    services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under
    common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Covered Service Providers”) constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the
    permissible non-audit services are provided to (a) the Fund, (b) the Adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services
    to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time
    of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the
    audit.

    (2) For the Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust, the percentage of fees that were approved by the audit committee, with respect to:
    Audit-Related Fees were 100% and 100% for October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2019; Tax Fees were 100% and 100% for October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2019; and Other Fees were 100% and 100% for October 31, 2018 and
    October 31, 2019.


    (f) N/A

    (g) Non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust,
    LMPFA and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with LMPFA that provides ongoing services to Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust during the reporting period were $678,000 in October 31, 2018 and $472,562 in October 31,
    2019.

    (h) Yes. Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates, which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval), is compatible
    with maintaining the Accountant’s independence. All services provided by the Auditor to the Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust or to Service Affiliates, which were required to be pre-approved, fueron pre-approved as required.

    CODE OF ETHICS

    I. Introduction

    A. Individuals Covered by the Code

    This Code applies to all employees of Legg Mason & Co., LLC and interested directors of the Proprietary Funds who are not otherwise subject
    to another code of ethics adopted pursuant to either Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act or Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act (“Covered
    Persons”).

    1)

    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Code covers all employees of Legg Mason & Co.,
    LLC who perform services on behalf of the Proprietary Funds as part of the following regulated entities:

    a.

    Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC (“LMIS”).

    b.

    Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (“LMPFA”).

    2)

    For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Legg Mason Registered Advisers (other than LMPFA) have adopted their
    own codes of ethics, and employees of the Legg Mason Registered Advisers who are subject to the requirements of those codes of ethics (including any who may be registered representatives of LMIS) are not subject to the requirements of this Code.

    B. Standards of Business Conduct

    This Code is based on the principle that Legg Mason and its affiliates owe a fiduciary duty to Legg Mason’s clients, and that all Covered Persons must
    therefore avoid activities, interests and relationships that might (i) present a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest, or (ii) otherwise interfere with Legg Mason’s ability to make decisions in the best
    interests of any of its clients. In particular, Covered Persons must at all times comply with the following standards of business conduct:

    1)

    Compliance with Applicable Law. All Covered Persons must comply with the Federal Securities Laws that apply to
    the business of Legg Mason.

    2)

    Clients Come First. Covered Persons must scrupulously avoid serving their personal interests ahead of the
    interests of clients. For example, a Covered Person may not induce or cause a client to take action, or not to take action, for the Covered Person’s personal benefit at the expense of the client’s best interests.

    3)

    Avoid Taking Advantage. Covered Persons may not use their knowledge of the Legg Mason Registered Advisers’
    investment activities or client portfolio holdings to profit by the market effect of such activities or to engage in short-term or other abusive trading in Reportable Funds.

    4)

    Avoid Other Inappropriate Relationships or Activities. Covered Persons should avoid relationships or activities
    that could call into question the Covered Person’s ability to exercise independent judgment in the best interests of Legg Mason’s clients. In particular, Covered Persons should take note of the provisions of the Legg Mason Code of Conduct
    and the Legg Mason Employee Handbook that pertain to confidentiality, corporate opportunities, gifts and entertainment, insider trading and outside business activities. In addition, Covered Persons who are registered representatives of LMIS should
    also take note of LMIS’s policies and procedures pertaining to these activities.

    1


    5)

    Observe the Spirit of the Code. Doubtful situations should be resolved in favor of Legg Mason’s clients.
    Technical compliance with the Code’s procedures will not automatically insulate from scrutiny any personal Securities Transactions or other course of conduct that might indicate an abuse of these governing principles.

    C. Duty to Report Violations

    Covered Persons must
    promptly report all violations of this Code to the Compliance Department.

    D. Fiduciary Duty / Political Contributions

    Covered Persons are prohibited from making political contributions for the purpose of obtaining or retaining any Legg Mason Registered Adviser or its
    affiliates as investment advisers. Covered Persons are specifically prohibited from making political contributions to any person for the purpose of influencing the selection or retention of an investment adviser by a government entity. Covered
    Persons will be required to certify annually that they have and will comply with this provision.

    II. Personal Securities Transactions

    a.

    Employing any device, scheme or artifice to defraud Legg Mason’s clients;

    Mason’s clients; o

    Equivalent Security) intended to raise, lower or maintain the price of that Security or to create a false appearance of active trading in that Security.

    Trading on the Knowledge of Client Transactions. Covered Persons are prohibited from engaging in any
    transactions in a Security (or an Equivalent Security) on the basis of any information they may be in possession of to the effect that (i) a Legg Mason Registered Adviser is or may be considering an investment in or sale of such Security on

    3)

    Additionally, Proprietary Funds that are sold in the LM 401(k) account are also subject to a 60-day minimum waiting period.

    Systematic Investment. Purchases or redemptions of Proprietary Funds pursuant to an Automatic Investment Plan

    deduction investments by 401(k) participants or automatic dividend reinvestment).

    C.
