Dear Shareholder,

It is our pleasure to provide you with the Edward Jones Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) annual report for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2024. In this report, you will find performance information, portfolio holdings, financial statements and other important information.

Over the past year, U.S. stock and bond investments have gained ground given the backdrop of better earnings growth, a resilient U.S. economy, and enthusiasm around the outlook for artificial intelligence. Notably, income investors have also benefited from the higher interest rate environment. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “FED”) has raised the benchmark fed funds rate consistently since March 2022, bringing rates to their current highs of 5.25%—5.50%, and as a result, offering investors in the Fund an attractive yield compared to the past several years. The FED is likely to begin cutting the fed funds rate later in 2024, although we believe interest rates will remain at attractive levels relative to the past decade. Investors in the Fund should still benefit from these relatively higher yields that offer a favorable alternative to traditional cash holdings, such as bank checking accounts.

Please see Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance for additional information about the performance of the money market asset class and the Fund.

During these times, we recognize the important role that liquid, income yielding investments, such as the Edward Jones Money Market Fund, play in your overall investment strategy. Thank you for entrusting us with your assets, and we look forward to playing an important role in helping you pursue your financial goals.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)

 

Investment Objective: The Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value (“NAV”) of $1.00 per share. The Fund’s investment objective is stability of principal and current income consistent with stability of principal.

Investment Strategy: The Fund operates as a “government money market fund,” as such term is defined in or interpreted under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As a “government money market fund,” the Fund is required to invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements that are collateralized by cash or U.S. government securities and/or shares of other “government money market funds.”

Investment Commentary:

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the FED kept the federal funds rate low to promote economic activity and employment growth. The FED started the process of consistent rate increases in March 2022 to tame the inflationary environment and the reporting period opened with the federal funds rate at 4.50% to 4.75%. This rate increased three times and peaked at 5.25% to 5.50% in July 2023 as inflation stabilized and began to decline. These rate increases had a significant influence on the money market universe and led to higher money market yields not seen in many years.

To respond to this market environment, the Fund held a significant investment in overnight repurchase agreements to help the Fund’s yield increase with rising interest rates. The Fund then shifted part of its overnight repurchase agreements into term repurchase agreements and select U.S. Treasury bill positions that offered better value as rates peaked and then began to fall. This shift increased the Fund’s weighted average maturity and weighted average life. During the 12-months ending February 29, 2024, the Fund also added an opportunistic position in U.S. government agency debt in the spring of 2023 as the Federal Home Loan Bank issued debt at very attractive yields.

Shareholder Expense Example (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including investment adviser fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, shareholder service fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Actual Expenses

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024.

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example For Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2024

 

1. ORGANIZATION

Edward Jones Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund operates as a “government money market fund,” as such term is defined in or interpreted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act and was established under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on January 9, 1980. Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (“Olive Street” or “Adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Jones Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. (“JFC”), serves as the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator. Federated Investment Management Company (the “Sub-adviser”) and Federated Administrative Services (the “Sub-Administrator”) serve as the Fund’s Sub-adviser and Sub-Administrator, respectively.

The Fund offers two classes of shares: Investment Shares and Retirement Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class specific matters.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 – Investment Companies, which is part of GAAP.

a) Use of Estimates — The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

b) Investment Valuation — All securities and other investments are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 4.

c) Federal Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. As a result, no provision for Federal income tax is recorded in the financial statements.

The Adviser has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the prior three years of tax filings) and has concluded that there is no tax liability/benefit resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Fund is also not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will significantly change in the next twelve months.

As of February 29, 2024, the Fund had no tax examinations or audits in progress.

d) Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared daily and paid monthly and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in the class specific expenses.

e) Indemnifications — Under the Fund’s organizational documents, the officers and Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) are entitled to certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course

of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

f) Investment Transactions, Income and Expense Allocation — Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Securities gains and losses, if any, are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis while discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, using the constant yield method over the life of the security. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of average daily net assets of each class.

g) Regulatory Updates — In November 2022, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to the requirements for annual and semiannual shareholder reports provided by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to highlight key information for investors. The amendments also require that funds tag their reports to shareholders using the Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language (“Inline XBRL”) structured data language to provide machine-readable data that retail investors and other market participants may use to more efficiently access and evaluate investments. The SEC also adopted amendments to the advertising rules for registered investment companies and business development companies to promote more transparent and balanced statements about investment costs. The effective date for the amendments was January 24, 2023. The SEC adopted an eighteen-month transition period beginning from the effective date for the new shareholder report amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

In July 2023, the SEC adopted amendments to the rules that govern money market funds (“Amendments”). These Amendments are in response to stresses in the fixed income markets at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Along with changes related to liquidity thresholds there are additional reporting requirements for money market funds on Form N-CR and Form N-MFP. There are multiple compliance dates with the final the compliance date, related to the new reporting requirements on Form N-CR and Form N-MFP set for June 2024. The Fund has met the earlier compliance deadlines and is well prepared to meet final compliance date in June 2024.

3) SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Repurchase Agreements

In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security from another party (the counterparty), usually a financial institution, with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. Repurchase agreements subject the Fund to counterparty risk, meaning that the Fund could lose money if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the agreement. The Fund mitigates this risk by seeking to ensure that the Fund’s repurchase agreements are collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government securities. The minimum amount of collateral held by the Fund is equal to the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. All collateral is held by the Fund’s custodian (or, with multi-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to seek to ensure that its market value is at least equal to the repurchase price under the agreement. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed or limited and the value of the collateral may decline. Investments in repurchase agreements are also based on a review of the credit quality of the repurchase agreement counterparty.

 

Annual Shareholder Report

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2024 (Continued)

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities and/or cash are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Sub-adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Repurchase agreements are subject to Master Netting Agreements, which are agreements between the Fund and its counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Fund through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented on the Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities are gross settlement amounts. As indicated above, the cash or value of securities to be repurchased, as shown on the Portfolio of Investments, exceeds the repurchase price to be paid under the agreement, reducing the net settlement amount to zero.

4. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

a) Investment Valuation Policies — Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The amortized cost of an investment is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter accreting and amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, the value of the portfolio securities will be determined in accordance with the procedures described below.

The Trustees have ultimate responsibility for determining the fair value of investments. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Trustees have designated the Adviser as the valuation designee for the Fund responsible for determining fair value of securities and in overseeing the comparison of amortized cost valuations to market-based valuations. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) with members from relevant departments within the Adviser to assist the Adviser in carrying out its responsibilities under Rule 2a-5 and in accordance with the Adviser’s valuation policy and procedures. The Trustees have also authorized the Adviser, as valuation designee for the Fund, to select pricing services to provide fair value evaluations of the current value of certain investments for purposes of monitoring the relationship between market-based valuations and amortized cost valuations. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for reviewing third-party pricing-service evaluations including periodic reviews of third-party pricing services’ policies, procedures and valuation methods (including key inputs and assumptions).

The Trustees periodically assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the Adviser’s process for determining the fair value of Fund investments.

b) Fair Value Hierarchy — Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Also includes securities valued at amortized cost.

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

 

Annual Shareholder Report

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2024 (Continued)

 

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

As of February 29, 2024, all investments of the Fund were valued at amortized cost, which is considered a Level 2 input, in valuing the Fund’s assets.

5. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILITATES

Investment Adviser Fee — Olive Street, an investment adviser registered with the SEC serves as the investment adviser and administrator to the Fund pursuant to an Investment Management and Administration Agreement with the Fund dated November 2, 2022 (the “Advisory Agreement”).

As the Adviser, Olive Street has overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the Fund’s investment portfolio, is subject to review and approval by the Trustees and sets the Fund’s overall investment strategies. The Adviser is also responsible for the oversight and evaluation of the Fund’s Sub-adviser. For its investment advisory and administrative services, the Adviser receives an annual fee of 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Expense Limitation Agreement — The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, portfolio transaction expenses, interest expense in connection with investment activities, taxes and extraordinary or non-routine expenses) to an annual rate of 0.72% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investment Shares and Retirement Shares (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”). Any payment made by the Adviser in connection with the Expense Limitation Agreement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser in the rolling thirty-six (36) month period following such fee waiver and/or expense payment, if (i) requested by the Adviser, and (ii) the aggregate amount actually paid by a class of the Fund toward operating expenses (taking into account other recoupments) does not exceed the expense cap (a) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement and (b) at the time of recoupment.

This Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect until June 30, 2024, and may only be changed or eliminated with the approval of the Trustees during such period. The Expense Limitation Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods thereafter unless the Adviser provides the Trustees with written notice of its election to not renew the agreement at least 60 days prior to the end of the current one-year term. Additionally, on behalf of the Adviser, Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”) voluntarily waived $41,644,468 of transfer agent fees during the year ended February 29, 2024. Edward Jones waived these fees to ensure that the net expense ratio of each class of shares did not exceed 0.72%. These voluntary waivers were not subject to future recoupment.

In addition to the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Adviser and/or its affiliates have agreed to voluntarily reimburse expenses (except fees paid to the Sub-adviser and Sub-Administrator) and/or waive all or a portion of its fees for the Fund to the extent necessary to seek to maintain a positive yield for the Fund (the “Adviser Voluntary Reduction”). The Adviser Voluntary Reduction is not subject to recoupment and can be discontinued or reinstated at any time without advance notice. There is no guarantee that the Adviser Voluntary Reduction will continue or that the Fund will be able to maintain a positive yield. There were no voluntary waivers by the Adviser and its affiliates for the year ended February 29, 2024.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2024 (Continued)

 

Sub-advisory Fee — Pursuant to the terms of the Sub-advisory and Sub-Administration Agreement, the Sub-adviser provides sub-advisory services to the Fund, including buying and selling portfolio securities, and the Sub-Administrator, an affiliate of the Sub-adviser, provides sub-administrative services to the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Trustees. For its sub-advisory and sub-administrative services, the Sub-adviser and the Sub-Administrator receive an annual fee, payable monthly, directly from the Fund based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the purposes of determining the compensation under the Advisory Agreement, the Fund will be deemed to have paid the Adviser, and the Adviser will be deemed to have received, an amount equal to any payment made pursuant to the Sub-advisory and Sub-Administration Agreement. The amounts paid to the Sub-adviser and the Sub-Administrator are included in the investment adviser fees in the Statement of Operations.

Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement with Federated Hermes (UK) LLP — In the event that a business continuity planning event causes the complete or partial inability of the Sub-adviser to perform the investment sub-advisory services under the Sub-advisory and Sub-Administration Agreement (a “BCP Event”), the Sub-adviser will delegate its duties and obligations with respect to investment sub-advisory services (but not sub-administrative services) under the Sub-advisory and Sub-Administration Agreement to Federated Hermes (UK) LLP (the “Sub-Sub-adviser”), an affiliate of the Sub-adviser, pursuant to a Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement”) to be entered into by the Sub-adviser and the Sub-Sub-adviser upon the occurrence of the BCP Event. Any fees payable to the Sub-Sub-adviser will be paid by the Sub-adviser (and not the Adviser or the Fund).

12b-1 Distribution Service Fees — The Trustees have adopted, and the Fund’s shareholders have approved, a Rule 12b-1 Plan, pursuant to which distribution and/or service fees of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Investment Shares and Retirement Shares of the Fund are paid to Edward Jones for the sale and distribution of Fund shares, and for personal shareholder services provided to Investment Shares and Retirement Shares shareholders.

Administrative Shareholder Service Fees — The Trustees have adopted an amended and restated administrative shareholder services plan, pursuant to which Investment Shares and Retirement Shares may pay administrative shareholder service fees of 0.15% of their average daily net assets to Edward Jones for providing certain administrative shareholder service activities or similar non-distribution services, including sweep and banking style administrative services, to Investment Shares and Retirement Shares shareholders.

Transfer Agent — Edward Jones serves as transfer agent for the Fund. The transfer agent fee paid to Edward Jones is based on the balance and number of accounts in the Fund.

7. RISKS

Investing in the Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information for more information on risks associated with investing in the Fund.

Investment Risk — You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time. If the Fund or another money market fund fails to maintain a stable NAV (or such perception exists in the marketplace), the Fund could be subject to increased redemptions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s Share price.

Counterparty Risk — A party to a transaction involving the Fund, including a counterparty to a repurchase agreement, may default or otherwise be unable or unwilling, or be perceived by the marketplace to be unable or unwilling, to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the transaction.

Interest Rate Risk — Prices of fixed-income securities generally fall when interest rates rise and generally rise when interest rates fall. In general, interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income securities with longer maturities. Although variable and floating rate securities are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, during periods of rising interest rates the value of floating rate and variable rate securities may also decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Similarly, during periods of declining interest rates, variable and floating rate securities generally will not increase in value as much as fixed rate instruments. A low or negative interest rate environment poses additional risks to the Fund because low yields on the Fund’s portfolio holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s yield to its shareholders. During these conditions, it is possible that the Fund will generate an insufficient amount of income to pay its expenses, and that it will not be able to pay a daily dividend and may have a negative yield (i.e., it may lose money on an operating basis). Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of the fixed-income securities held by the Fund. As a result, it is possible that the Fund would, during these conditions, maintain a substantial portion of its assets in cash, on which it may earn little, if any, income. Changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments or changes in economic conditions may affect the level of interest rates, which could have sudden or unpredictable effects on the markets. A sudden or unpredictable rise or decline in interest rates may cause volatility and reduced liquidity in the money market securities markets, which could make it more difficult for the Fund to sell its investments at a time when it may be advantageous to do so and could cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline, potentially suddenly and significantly.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2024 (Continued)

 

Technology Risk — Various technologies are used in managing the Fund, consistent with its investment objective and strategy. For example, proprietary and third-party data and systems are utilized to support decision making for the Fund. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems, which may negatively affect Fund performance.

Risk Related to the Economy — The market value of the Fund’s portfolio may decline in tandem with a drop in the overall value of the markets in which the Fund invests and/or other markets. Economic, political, and financial conditions or industry or economic trends and developments, as well as government defaults, government shutdowns, war, acts of terrorism, regional conflicts, social unrest, and recessions, may, from time to time, and for varying periods of time, cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity, shareholder redemptions, or other potentially adverse effects that could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic (such as COVID-19), natural disaster, spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF THE EDWARD JONES MONEY MARKET FUND

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Edward Jones Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) as of February 29, 2024, the related statement of operations for the year ended February 29, 2024, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 29, 2024, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 29, 2024 (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 February 29, 2024, 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 February 29, 2024 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 29, 2024 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 February 29, 2024 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

(c) There was no amendment to the registrant’s code of ethics described in Item 2(a) above during the period covered by the report.

To request a copy of the code of ethics, contact the registrant at 1-800-441-2357, and ask for a copy of the Section 406 Standards for Investment Companies - Ethical Standards for Principal Executive and Financial Officers.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that Timothy Jacoby, a member of the Board’s Audit Committee is an “audit committee financial expert” and are considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

(a)-(d) The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, and tax services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit fees” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related fees” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax fees” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

All Other Fees

   $ 0      $ 0  

(e)(1) Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.


The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chair for engagements of less than $50,000. The Chair will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will designate another member with such pre-approval authority when the Chair is unavailable.

AUDIT SERVICES

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor.

TAX SERVICES

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence.

(e)(2) Percentage of services identified in items 4(b) through 4(d) that were approved by the registrant’s audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:

 

     FYE 2/29/2024     FYE 2/28/2023  

Audit-Related Fees

     0     0

Tax Fees

     0     0

All Other Fees

     0     0

(f) All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant. The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser) for the last two years.

(g) Non-Audit Fees billed to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser, and certain entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser:

 

Non-Audit Related Fees

Registrant

   $ 0      $ 0  

Registrant’s Investment Adviser

   $ 0      $ 0  


(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee has considered that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s 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 registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
