Dear Mr. Manion:

This correspondence responds to accounting comments the Trust received from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff” or the “Commission”) on January 8, 2025, with respect to the Amendment and the Trust’s proposed two new series, the Intech S&P Large Cap Diversified Alpha ETF and the Intech S&P Small-Mid Cap Diversified Alpha ETF (each, a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”). For your convenience, the comments have been reproduced with responses following each comment. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the same meaning as in the Amendment.

PROSPECTUS

1. Please supplementally provide the Staff with a completed Fee Table and Expense example pre-effectively. In addition, provide the completed performance information for the Predecessor Fund to the Intech S&P Large Cap Diversified Alpha ETF Fee, as well as the performance information of the similarly managed accounts for the Intech S&P Small-Mid Cap Diversified Alpha ETF. Finally, provide the Staff the name of the Funds’ auditor.

Response: A copy of the fee table and Example is included in Exhibit A. In addition, the referenced performance information has been provided to the Staff under separate cover. Finally, the Funds’ auditor is Tait, Weller & Baker LLP.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

2. The following statement is included under the heading, Financial Statements: “The reorganization of the Predecessor Fund is not expected to result in a material change in the Predecessor Fund’s investment portfolio, and therefore a modified schedule of investments has not been provided.” The Staff notes that a modified schedule of investments appears to have been included. As a result, please revise the sentence accordingly.

Response: The Trust responds by removing the referenced sentence.

EXHIBITS

3. The Consent of the independent registered public accounting firm will need to be corrected and reissued. In particular, the consent references “Form N-CSR,” which is not used by private funds.

Response: A corrected consent will be included as an exhibit to the Funds’ 485BPOS filing.

If you have any questions or require further information, please contact Michael Pellegrino at (262) 318-8442 or mpellegrino@tidalfg.com.

Sincerely,
/s/ Michael Pellegrino
