PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
|
Top contributors to performance:
|
|
|
↑
|
Market intelligence and management & governance factor composites outperformed.
|
|
↑
|
Among countries, Sweden was the top contributor. Within the country, an overweight position in Sandvik AB, an engineering group serving mining, rock processing, metal cutting and advanced manufacturing, contributed the most. Its stock rose because orders and revenue strengthened, mining demand stayed robust, margins remained resilient, and tungsten-related demand boosted investor expectations after a strong Q1 2026 report. The company was held overweight due to its high scores in environmental and growth factors.
|
|
↑
|
Among sectors, information technology was the top contributor. An underweight position in SAP SE, a Germany-based enterprise software supplier in cloud ERP, business applications, and AI-enabled corporate systems, was the top performer in the sector. Its stock fell driven by weaker-than-expected cloud backlog guidance, slower cloud migration momentum, larger deal timing, artificial intelligence (AI) competition concerns, tariff uncertainty, and broader software-sector rotation. The company was held underweight due to its low scores in value, social, and environmental factors.
|
|
Top detractors from performance:
|
|
|
↓
|
The alpha model detracted from performance.
|
|
↓
|
Among countries, the U.K. was the top detractor. An overweight in 3i Group PLC, a private equity and infrastructure investment company, was the top laggard. Its stock fell due to slowing growth at Action, its key Dutch non-food discount retailer, plus weakness in France, valuation concerns, analyst downgrades, weather pressures, and skepticism over Action's costly U.S. expansion. The company was held overweight due to its high factor scores in governance and value.
|
|
↓
|
Among sectors, consumer discretionary was the top detractor. An overweight position in Sony Group Corp, a Japan-based multinational entertainment and technology company, was one of the top laggards in the sector. Its stock declined despite solid fundamentals, mainly due to concerns over rising memory costs pressuring PlayStation margins, uncertainty around the BRAVIA TV joint venture with TCL, a one-time impairment charge in gaming, weaker consumer electronics demand, tariff risks, and layoffs at Sony Pictures. The Fund continued to hold an overweight position in Sony Group Corp due to its positive scores in social and quality factors.

HOW HAS THE FUND CHANGED?
At a meeting held on March 26, 2026, the Board of Trustees of Putnam ETF Trust, on behalf of the Fund, approved a plan to liquidate and dissolve the Fund, upon recommendation by Putnam Investment Management, LLC, the Fund's investment adviser.
The liquidation of the Fund is expected to occur on or about June 16, 2026 (the "Liquidation Date"), although the Fund may make dispositions of portfolio holdings prior to the Liquidation Date.
Effective as of the close of business on May 19, 2026, the Fund will no longer accept orders for the purchase of creation units, and effective as of the close of business on June 9, 2026, the Fund will no longer accept redemption orders. Trading for the Fund on NYSE Arca, Inc. will be suspended prior to market open on June 10, 2026.
When the Funds are in the process of liquidating their portfolios, which is anticipated to commence prior to June 10, 2026, the Funds will hold cash and securities that may not be consistent with the Funds' investment objectives and strategies.

| ITEM 3. | AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT. |
The Board of Trustees of the Registrant has determined that Warren Lowell and Manoj P. Singh possess the technical attributes identified in Item 3 to Form N-CSR to qualify as "audit committee financial experts," and has designated Warren Lowell and Manoj P. Singh as the Audit Committee's financial experts. Warren Lowell and Manoj P. Singh are "independent" Trustees pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR.
Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.
| ITEM 4. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. |
(a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the last two fiscal years ending April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2026 (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 $153,203 in April 30, 2025 and $164,798 in April 30, 2026.
(b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the Registrant's financial statements were $0 in April 30, 2025 and $0 in April 30, 2026.
(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 $26,747 in April 30, 2025 and $26,747 in April 30, 2026. 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 Registrant's investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant ("Service Affiliates") during the Reporting Periods that required pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
(d) All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the Auditor to the Registrant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this item, were $0 in April 30, 2025 and $0 in April 30, 2026.
There were no other non-audit services rendered by the Auditor to the Service Affiliates requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee in the Reporting Periods.
(e) Audit Committee's pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c) (7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
Pre-Approval Policies of the Audit, Compliance and Risk Committee. The Audit, Compliance and Risk Committee of the Putnam funds has determined that, as a matter of policy, all work performed for the funds by the funds' independent auditors will be pre-approved by the Committee itself and thus will generally not be subject to pre-approval procedures.
The Audit, Compliance and Risk Committee also has adopted a policy to pre-approve the engagement by the fund's investment manager and certain of its affiliates of the fund's independent auditors, even in circumstances where pre-approval is not required by applicable law. Any such requests by the fund's investment manager or certain of its affiliates are typically submitted in writing to the Committee and explain, among other things, the nature of the proposed engagement, the estimated fees, and why this work should be performed by that particular audit firm as opposed to another one. In reviewing such requests, the Committee considers, among other things, whether the provision of such services by the audit firm are compatible with the independence of the audit firm.
(2) None of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were performed in reliance on paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) Non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant and the Service Affiliates during the reporting period were $664,363 in April 30, 2025 and $1,474,011 in April 30, 2026.
(h) Yes. The Registrant'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 Auditor's independence. All services provided by the Auditor to the Registrant or to the Service Affiliates, which were required to be pre-approved, were pre-approved as required.
(i) Not applicable.

Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF 2026 Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization and significant accounting policies
Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF (the "Fund") is a separate diversified investment series of Putnam ETF Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust, a Delaware 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 actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF"). ETFs are funds that trade like other publicly-traded securities. 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 NYSE Arca, 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 are created and redeemed principally in-kind (although under some circumstances its shares are created and redeemed partially for 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 follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies("ASC 946"). The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. 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.
(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 typically use
Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF 2026 Annual Report
13
Notes to Financial Statements (cont'd)
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. 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. (Eastern 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. When 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").
Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board, the Fund's manager has been designated as the valuation designee and is responsible for the oversight of the daily valuation process. The Fund's manager is assisted by the Global Fund Valuation Committee (the "Valuation Committee"). The Valuation Committee is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Fund's pricing policies, and reporting to the Fund's manager and the Board. 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 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, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market
14
Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF 2026 Annual Report
quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such back testing monthly and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board 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 - unadjusted 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

(b) 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
Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF 2026 Annual Report
15
Notes to Financial Statements (cont'd)
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 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.
(c) 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 may 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.
(d) 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) is recorded on the accrual basis. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities are recorded to interest income over the lives of the respective securities, except for premiums on certain callable debt securities, which are amortized to the earliest call date. 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.
(e) REIT distributions. The character of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (''REITs'') held by the Fund is generally comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the policy of the Fund to estimate the character of
16
Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF 2026 Annual Report
distributions received from underlying REITs based on historical data provided by the REITs. After each calendar year end, REITs report the actual tax character of these distributions. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts reported by the REITs are reflected in the Fund's records in the year in which they are reported by the REITs by adjusting related investment cost basis, capital gains and income, as necessary.
(f) Distributions to shareholders. Distributions from net investment income and distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least quarterly. Distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(g) 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, as amended (the "Code"), 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 April 30, 2026, 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 the prior three fiscal years 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. In some cases, the Fund may be entitled to reclaim all or a portion of such taxes, and such reclaim amounts, if any, are reflected as a dividend receivable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and dividend income in the Statement of Operations. In many cases, however, the Fund may not receive such amounts for an extended period of time, depending on the country of investment.
As a result of several court cases, in certain countries across the European Union, the Fund filed additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries ("EU reclaims"). Income recognized, if any, for EU reclaims is reflected as European Union tax reclaims in the Statement of Operations and any related receivable is reflected as European Union tax reclaims receivable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Any fees associated with these filings are reflected as European Union tax reclaim contingent fees in the Statement of Operations. When uncertainty exists as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these EU reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are reflected in the financial statements. For U.S. income tax purposes, EU reclaims received by the Fund, if any, reduce the amount of foreign taxes Fund shareholders can use as tax deductions or credits on their income tax returns.

Notes to Financial Statements (cont'd)
(h) 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, the following reclassifications have been made:

2. Investment management agreement and other transactions with affiliates
Putnam Investment Management, LLC ("Putnam Management") is the Fund's investment manager and PanAgora Asset Management, Inc. ("PanAgora") is the Fund's subadviser. Putnam Management is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("Franklin Resources"). PanAgora is an affiliate of Putnam Management.
The Fund pays its investment manager an annual all-inclusive management fee of 0.49% based on the Fund's average daily net assets computed daily and paid monthly. The management fee covers investment management services and all of the Fund's organizational and other operating expenses with certain exceptions, including but not limited to: payments under distribution plans, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, fund proxy expenses, litigation expenses, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses.
Putnam Management has retained PanAgora as a subadviser for the Fund pursuant to a subadvisory agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, PanAgora is authorized by the Trustees to make investment decisions for the assets of the Fund as determined by Putnam Management. Putnam Management pays a quarterly sub-advisory fee to PanAgora for its services at an annual rate of 0.17% of the average net assets of the Fund.
Under an agreement with Advisers, Franklin Templeton Services, LLC ("Franklin Templeton Services"), provides administrative services to the Fund. The fee is paid by Advisers based on the costs incurred by Franklin Templeton Services and is not an additional expense of the Fund.
The Fund invests in Putnam Government Money Market Fund, an open-end management investment company managed by Advisers. The manager has agreed to waive the Fund's management fee to an extent sufficient to offset the net management fee payable in connection with any investment in an affiliated money market fund (the "affiliated money market fund waiver").
During the year ended April 30, 2026, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed amounted to $2,007, all of which was an affiliated money market fund waiver.

7. Redemption facility
The Fund, together with other U.S. registered and foreign investment funds (collectively, the "Borrowers") managed by Franklin Resources or its affiliates, was a borrower in a joint syndicated senior unsecured credit facility totaling $2.995 billion (the "Global Credit Facility"). The Global Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the ability to meet future unanticipated or unusually large redemption requests.
Under the terms of the Global Credit Facility, the Fund shall, in addition to interest charged on any borrowings made by the Fund and other costs incurred by the Fund, pay its share of
20
Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF 2026 Annual Report
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and maintenance of the Global Credit Facility, based upon its relative share of the aggregate net assets of all the Borrowers, including an annual commitment fee of 0.15% based upon the unused portion of the Global Credit Facility. The Fund did not utilize the Global Credit Facility during the year ended April 30, 2026.

Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF 2026 Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Putnam ETF Trust and Shareholders of Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF (one of the funds constituting Putnam ETF Trust, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of April 30, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended April 30, 2026, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2026 and for the period January 19, 2023 (inception date) to April 30, 2023 (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 April 30, 2026, 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 April 30, 2026, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2026 and for the period January 19, 2023 (inception date) to April 30, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's 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 Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent.
