Fund Overview

This semi-annual shareholder report contains important information about The Gabelli Media Mogul Fund (the "Fund") for the period of October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The Fund invests in companies that are primarily engaged in the production, sale, and distribution of goods or services used in the media industry. The Fund specifically focuses on companies spun-off from Liberty Media Corporation (Liberty Media) as constituted in 2001, as well as in companies that resulted from the subsequent mergers of any such spin-offs or stocks that track the performance of such spin-offs or companies that resulted from subsequent mergers of any such spin-offs, and in public companies in which Liberty Media and its successor companies invest. The current investable universe includes U.S. and non-U.S. listed companies in the media industry. You may find additional information about the Fund at www.gabelli.com/funds/open_ends. You may also request  information by contacting us at 800-GABELLI (800-422-3554).

How did the Fund perform?

For the six-months ended March 31, 2025, the Gabelli Media Mogul Fund, which is primarily focused on the Communications Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors, outperformed its broad-based benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The prospect of US tariffs weighed on stocks early in 2025; the Fund's bias toward purely domestic and service-oriented companies left it less exposed to tariff-related headwinds.  Top contributors during the period included Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., T-Mobile US, Inc. and Liberty Media Corp - Formula One.  Detractors included Grupo Televisa, QVC Group and Liberty Latin America Ltd.

How has the Fund performed since inception?

The performance chart of the fund class presented reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment, assuming the maximum sales charge, compared to a broad-based securities market index and more narrowly based indices reflecting market sectors in which the Fund invests over a 10-year period. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distribution. Fund expenses were deducted.

How did the Fund perform?

For the six-months ended March 31, 2025, the Gabelli Media Mogul Fund, which is primarily focused on the Communications Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors, outperformed its broad-based benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The prospect of US tariffs weighed on stocks early in 2025; the Fund's bias toward purely domestic and service-oriented companies left it less exposed to tariff-related headwinds.  Top contributors during the period included Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., T-Mobile US, Inc. and Liberty Media Corp - Formula One.  Detractors included Grupo Televisa, QVC Group and Liberty Latin America Ltd.

How has the Fund performed since inception?

The performance chart of the fund class presented reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment, assuming the maximum sales charge, compared to a broad-based securities market index and more narrowly based indices reflecting market sectors in which the Fund invests over a 10-year period. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distribution. Fund expenses were deducted.

Fund Overview

This semi-annual shareholder report contains important information about The Gabelli Pet Parents’ Fund (the "Fund") for the period of October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The Fund invests primarily in companies that actively participate in Companion Animal Food, Therapeutics, Diagnostics, Product Distribution, and Related Services. The Fund focuses on securities of companies which appear underpriced relative to their Private Market Value (PMV) with Catalyst™ to unlock that value. PMV is the price the Fund’s Adviser believes a strategic buyer would be willing to pay for the entire company. You may find additional information about the Fund at www.gabelli.com/funds/open_ends.

How did the Fund perform?

During the six-months ended March 31, 2025, the Gabelli Pet Parents' Fund underperformed its broad-based benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, as well as its comparative benchmarks, the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500 Consumer Staples Indices.

Drastic tariff increases have elevated costs for pet-related companies by raising prices on imported ingredients and packaging. Top contributors to the fund over the period included Chewy, Inc., Oil-Dri Corporation of America and CVS Health Corp. Detractors included Freshpet Inc., QVC Group and Petco.

Gabelli Media Mogul Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization. The Gabelli Media Mogul Fund (the Fund) is a series of the Gabelli Innovations Trust that was organized on December 6, 2018 as a Delaware statutory trust and commenced investment operations on April 1, 2019. The Fund is a series successor to the Gabelli Media Mogul NextShares within the Gabelli NextShares Trust that was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 20, 2015 and commenced investment operations on December 1, 2016. The Fund is a non-diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act).

 

The Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in the media industry. Media industry companies are companies that are primarily engaged in the production, sale, and distribution of goods or services used in the media industry. Media industry companies are companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue from the production or distribution of information and entertainment content, and may include television and radio stations, motion picture companies, print publishing, and providers of internet content, as well as satellite service providers, cable service providers, and advertising service providers. The Fund will specifically invest in companies that were spun-off from Liberty Media Corporation (Liberty Media) as constituted in 2001, as well as in companies that resulted from subsequent mergers of any such spin-offs or stocks that track performance of such spin-offs or companies that resulted from subsequent mergers of any such spin-offs, and in public companies in which Liberty Media and its successor companies invest.

 

Gabelli Funds, LLC (the Adviser), with its principal offices located at One Corporate Center, Rye, New York 10580-1422, serves as investment adviser to the Fund. The Adviser makes investment decisions for the Fund and continuously reviews and administers the Funds' investment program and manages the operations of the Fund under the general supervision of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board).

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies. As an investment company, the Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that may require the use of management estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its financial statements. The Board has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee under Rule 2a-5. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities listed or traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price or a market’s official closing price as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. If there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the average of the closing bid and asked prices or, if there were no asked prices quoted on that day, then the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, the security is valued at the most recently available price or, if the Board so determines, by such other method as the Board shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange or market are valued according to the broadest and most representative market, as determined by the Adviser.

 

Portfolio securities primarily traded on a foreign market are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on the relevant market, but may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board if market conditions change significantly after the close of the foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. Debt obligations for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the average of the latest bid and asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted on such day,

Gabelli Media Mogul Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

the security is valued using the closing bid price, unless the Board determines such amount does not reflect the security’s fair value, in which case these securities will be fair valued as determined by the Board. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price of the exchange or board of trade on which the applicable contract is traded. OTC futures and options on futures for which market quotations are readily available will be valued by quotations received from a pricing service or, if no quotations are available from a pricing service, by quotations obtained from one of more dealers in the instrument in question by the Adviser.

 

Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined by the Board. Fair valuation methodologies and procedures may include, but are not limited to: analysis and review of available financial and non-financial information about the company; comparisons with the valuation and changes in valuation of similar securities, including a comparison of foreign securities with the equivalent U.S. dollar value American Depositary Receipt securities at the close of the U.S. exchange; and evaluation of any other information that could be indicative of the value of the security.

 

The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

Level 1 — unadjusted 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.); and

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Board’s determinations as to the fair value of investments).

 

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in the aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The summary of the Fund’s investments in securities by inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2025 is as follows:

 

    Valuation Inputs    
    Level 1

  Level 2 Other

(b) Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for the industry classifications of these portfolio holdings.

 

General. The Fund uses recognized industry pricing services – approved by the Board and unaffiliated with the Adviser – to value most of its securities, and uses broker quotes provided by market makers of securities not valued by these and other recognized pricing sources. Several different pricing feeds are received to value domestic equity securities, international equity securities, preferred equity securities, and fixed income securities. The data within these feeds are ultimately sourced from major stock exchanges and trading systems where these securities trade. The prices supplied by external sources are checked by obtaining quotations or actual transaction prices from market participants. If a price obtained from the pricing source is deemed unreliable, prices will be sought from another pricing service or from a broker/dealer that trades that security or similar securities.

 

Fair Valuation. Fair valued securities may be common or preferred equities, warrants, options, rights, or fixed income obligations. Where appropriate, Level 3 securities are those for which market quotations are not available, such as securities not traded for several days, or for which current bids are not available, or which are restricted as to transfer. When fair valuing a security, factors to consider include recent prices of comparable securities that are publicly traded, reliable prices of securities not publicly traded, the use of valuation models, current analyst reports, valuing the income or cash flow of the issuer, or cost if the preceding factors do not apply. A significant change in the unobservable inputs could result in a lower or higher value in Level 3 securities. The circumstances of Level 3 securities are frequently monitored to determine if fair valuation measures continue to apply.

 

The Adviser reports quarterly to the Board the results of the application of fair valuation policies and procedures. These may include backtesting the prices realized in subsequent trades of these fair valued securities to fair values previously recognized.

 

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Unrealized gains and losses that result from changes in foreign exchange rates and/or changes in market prices of securities have been included in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gain/(loss) on investments.

 

Foreign Securities. The Fund may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the inability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies, and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Foreign Taxes. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

 

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities for which the markets are restricted. Restricted securities include securities whose disposition is subject to substantial legal or contractual restrictions. The sale of restricted securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. Restricted securities may sell at a price lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale. Securities freely saleable among qualified institutional investors under special rules adopted by the SEC may be treated as liquid if they satisfy liquidity standards established by the Board. The continued liquidity of such securities is not as well assured as that of publicly traded securities, and accordingly the Board will monitor their liquidity. At March 31, 2025, the Fund did not hold any restricted securities.

 

Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date with realized gain/(loss) on investments determined by using the identified cost method. Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method or amortized to earliest call date, if applicable. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities that are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Fund becomes aware of such dividends.

 

Determination of Net Asset Value and Calculation of Expenses. Certain administrative expenses are common to, and allocated among, various affiliated funds. Such allocations are made on the basis of each fund’s average net assets or other criteria directly affecting the expenses as determined by the Adviser pursuant to procedures established by the Board.

 

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are based on income and capital gains as determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from income and capital gains as determined under GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities and foreign currency transactions held by the Fund, timing differences, and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Fund. Distributions from net investment income for federal income tax purposes include net realized gains on foreign currency transactions. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the period when the differences arise. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Fund.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:

 

Distributions paid from:      
Ordinary income   $ 39,059  
Total distributions paid   $ 39,059  

 

Provision for Income Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

 

The Fund is permitted to carry capital losses forward for an unlimited period. Capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short term or long term capital losses. The Fund has a short term capital loss carryforward with no expiration of $61,653 and a long term capital loss carryforward with no expiration of $1,026,173.

The Fund is required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Fund as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties. As of March 31, 2025, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Fund’s net assets or results of operations. The Fund’s federal and state tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open, subject to examination. On an ongoing basis, the Adviser will monitor the Fund’s tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

 

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions. The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with the Adviser which provides that the Fund will pay the Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the value of its average daily net assets. In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio, oversees the administration of all aspects of the Fund’s business and affairs, and pays the compensation of all Officers and Trustees of the Fund who are affiliated persons of the Adviser.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the total operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses) until at least January 31, 2026 at no more than 1.15% and 0.90%, respectively, of Class A and Class I Shares’ average daily net assets. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Adviser reimbursed the Fund in the amount of $86,190. In addition, the Fund has agreed, during the three year period following any waiver or reimbursement by the Adviser, to repay such amount to the extent, that after giving the effect to the repayment, such adjusted annualized total operating expenses of the Fund would not exceed 1.15% and 0.90%, respectively, of Class A and Class I Shares’ average daily net assets. The agreement is renewable annually. At March 31, 2025, the cumulative amount which the Fund may repay the Adviser is $641,465.

4. Distribution Plan. The Fund’s Board has adopted a distribution plan (the Plan) for Class A Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Class A Share Plan, payment is authorized to G.distributors, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Adviser, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A Shares, the annual limitation under the Plan. Such payments are accrued daily and paid monthly.

 

5. Portfolio Securities. Purchases and sales of securities during the six months ended March 31, 2025, other than short term securities and U.S. Government obligations, aggregated $215,563 and $415,945, respectively.

 

6. Transactions with Affiliates and Other Arrangements. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Fund paid $123 in brokerage commissions on security trades to G.research, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser.

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Fund received credits from a designated broker who agreed to pay certain Fund operating expenses. The amount of such expenses paid through this directed brokerage arrangement during this period was $699.

 

The cost of calculating the Fund’s NAV per share is a Fund expense pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. Under the sub-administration agreement with Bank of New York Mellon, the fees paid include the cost of calculating the Fund’s NAV. The Fund reimburses the Adviser for this service. The Adviser did not seek a reimbursement during the six months ended March 31, 2025.

 

The Trust pays retainer and per meeting fees to Trustees not affiliated with the Adviser, plus specified amounts to the Lead Trustee and Audit Committee Chairman. Trustees are also reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings. Trustees who are directors or employees of the Adviser or an affiliated company receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Fund.

 

7. Line of Credit. The Fund participates in an unsecured and uncommitted line of credit, which expires on June 25, 2025 and may be renewed annually, of up to $75,000,000 under which it may borrow up to 10% of its net assets from the bank for temporary borrowing purposes. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at a floating rate equal to the higher of the Overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 135 basis points or the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 135 basis points in effect on that day. This amount, if any, would be included

in “Interest expense” in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit.

 

8. Significant Shareholder. As of March 31, 2025, 77.4% of the Fund was beneficially owned by the Adviser and its affiliates, including managed accounts for which the affiliates of the Adviser have voting control but disclaim pecuniary interest.

 

9. Shares of Beneficial Interest. The Fund offers two classes of shares – Class A Shares and Class I Shares. Class A Shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class I Shares are offered without a sales charge.

 

The Fund imposes a redemption fee of 2.00% on all classes of shares that are redeemed or exchanged on or before the seventh day after the date of a purchase. The redemption fee is deducted from the proceeds otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholders and is retained by the Fund as an increase in paid-in capital. The redemption fees retained by the Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, if any, can be found in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets under Redemption Fees.

10. Indemnifications. The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

11. Segment Reporting. In this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or results of operations. The Fund's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer act as the Fund's chief operating decision maker (CODM), as defined in Topic 280, assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is guided by the Fund's investment objective and principal investment strategies, and executed by the Fund's portfolio management team, comprised of investment professionals

Gabelli Pet Parents’ Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization. The Gabelli Pet Parents’ Fund (the Fund) is a series of the Gabelli Innovations Trust that was organized on December 6, 2018 as a Delaware statutory trust and commenced investment operations on April 1, 2019. The Fund is a series successor to the Gabelli Pet Parents’TM NextShares within the Gabelli NextShares Trust that was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 20, 2015 and commenced investment operations on December 1, 2016. The Fund is a non-diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act).

 

The Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in common and preferred shares of publicly traded domestic and foreign companies of all capitalization ranges in the pet industry. The pet industry includes companies that offer services and products for pets and pet owners (Pet Parents). Such companies will generally derive at least 50% of their revenues or profits from, or will devote at least 50% of their assets to the following sectors: manufacturers and distributors of pet food, pet supplies, veterinary pharmaceuticals, veterinary wellness, veterinary and other pet services, pet equipment, pet toys, and products and services that support Pet Parents regarding their pet activities.

 

Gabelli Funds, LLC (the Adviser), with its principal offices located at One Corporate Center, Rye, New York 10580-1422, serves as investment adviser to the Fund. The Adviser makes investment decisions for the Fund and continuously reviews and administers the Funds' investment program and manages the operations of the Fund under the general supervision of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board).

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies. As an investment company, the Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that may require the use of management estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its financial statements. The Board has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee under Rule 2a-5. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities listed or traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price or a market’s official closing price as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. If there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the average of the closing bid and asked prices or, if there were no asked prices quoted on that day, then the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, the security is valued at the most recently available price or, if the Board so determines, by such other method as the Board shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange or market are valued according to the broadest and most representative market, as determined by the Adviser.

 

Portfolio securities primarily traded on a foreign market are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on the relevant market, but may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board if market conditions change significantly after the close of the foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. Debt obligations for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the average of the latest bid and asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted on such day, the security is valued using the closing bid price, unless the Board determines such amount does not reflect the security’s fair value, in which case these securities will be fair valued as determined by the Board. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price of the exchange or board of trade on which the applicable contract is traded. OTC futures and options on

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

futures for which market quotations are readily available will be valued by quotations received from a pricing service or, if no quotations are available from a pricing service, by quotations obtained from one of more dealers in the instrument in question by the Adviser.

 

Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined by the Board. Fair valuation methodologies and procedures may include, but are not limited to: analysis and review of available financial and non-financial information about the company; comparisons with the valuation and changes in valuation of similar securities, including a comparison of foreign securities with the equivalent U.S. dollar value American Depositary Receipt securities at the close of the U.S. exchange; and evaluation of any other information that could be indicative of the value of the security.

 

The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

Level 1 — unadjusted 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.); and

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Board’s determinations as to the fair value of investments).

 

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in the aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of the Fund’s investments in securities by inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2025 is as follows:

(a) Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for the industry classifications of these portfolio holdings.

 

General. The Fund uses recognized industry pricing services – approved by the Board and unaffiliated with the Adviser – to value most of its securities, and uses broker quotes provided by market makers of securities not valued by these and other recognized pricing sources. Several different pricing feeds are received to value domestic equity securities, international equity securities, preferred equity securities, and fixed income securities. The data within these feeds are ultimately sourced from major stock exchanges and trading systems where these securities trade. The prices supplied by external sources are checked by obtaining quotations or actual transaction prices from market participants. If a price obtained from the pricing source is deemed unreliable, prices will be sought from another pricing service or from a broker/dealer that trades that security or similar securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Fair Valuation. Fair valued securities may be common or preferred equities, warrants, options, rights, or fixed income obligations. Where appropriate, Level 3 securities are those for which market quotations are not available, such as securities not traded for several days, or for which current bids are not available, or which are restricted as to transfer. When fair valuing a security, factors to consider include recent prices of comparable securities that are publicly traded, reliable prices of securities not publicly traded, the use of valuation models, current analyst reports, valuing the income or cash flow of the issuer, or cost if the preceding factors do not apply. A significant change in the unobservable inputs could result in a lower or higher value in Level 3 securities. The circumstances of Level 3 securities are frequently monitored to determine if fair valuation measures continue to apply.

 

The Adviser reports quarterly to the Board the results of the application of fair valuation policies and procedures. These may include backtesting the prices realized in subsequent trades of these fair valued securities to fair values previously recognized.

 

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Unrealized gains and losses that result from changes in foreign exchange rates and/or changes in market prices of securities have been included in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gain/(loss) on investments.

 

Foreign Securities. The Fund may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the inability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies, and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

 

Foreign Taxes. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

 

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities for which the markets are restricted. Restricted securities include securities whose disposition is subject to substantial legal or contractual restrictions. The sale of restricted securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. Restricted securities may sell at a price lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale. Securities freely saleable among qualified institutional investors under special rules adopted by the SEC may be treated as liquid if they satisfy liquidity standards established by the Board. The continued liquidity of such securities is not as well assured as that of publicly

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

traded securities, and accordingly the Board will monitor their liquidity. At March 31, 2025, the Fund did not hold any restricted securities.

 

Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date with realized gain/(loss) on investments determined by using the identified cost method. Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method or amortized to earliest call date, if applicable. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities that are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Fund becomes aware of such dividends.

 

Determination of Net Asset Value and Calculation of Expenses. Certain administrative expenses are common to, and allocated among, various affiliated funds. Such allocations are made on the basis of each fund’s average net assets or other criteria directly affecting the expenses as determined by the Adviser pursuant to procedures established by the Board.

 

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are based on income and capital gains as determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from income and capital gains as determined under GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities and foreign currency transactions held by the Fund, timing differences, and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Fund. Distributions from net investment income for federal income tax purposes include net realized gains on foreign currency transactions. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the period when the differences arise. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Fund.

 

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:

 

Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary income   $ 23,928  
Total distributions paid   $ 23,928  

 

Provision for Income Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

 

The following summarizes the tax cost of investments and the related net unrealized appreciation at March 31, 2025:

 

  Cost   Gross

The Fund is required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Fund as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties. As of March 31, 2025, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Fund’s net assets or results of operations. The Fund’s federal and state tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open, subject to examination. On an ongoing basis, the Adviser will monitor the Fund’s tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

 

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions. The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with the Adviser which provides that the Fund will pay the Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the value of its average daily net assets. In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio, oversees the administration of all aspects of the Fund’s business and affairs, and pays the compensation of all Officers and Trustees of the Fund who are affiliated persons of the Adviser.

 

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the total operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses until at least January 31, 2026 at no more than 1.15% and 0.90%, respectively, of Class A and Class I Shares’ average daily net assets. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Adviser reimbursed the Fund in the amount of $86,137. In addition, the Fund has agreed, during the three year period following any waiver or reimbursement by the Adviser, to repay such amount to the extent, that after giving the effect to the repayment, such adjusted annualized total operating expenses of the Fund would not exceed 1.15% and 0.90%, respectively, of Class A and Class I Shares’ average daily net assets. The agreement is renewable annually. At March 31, 2025, the cumulative amount which the Fund may repay the Adviser, subject to the terms above, is $647,659.

 

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, expiring September 30, 2025   $ 200,031  
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, expiring September 30, 2026     178,375  
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, expiring September 30, 2027     183,116  
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, expiring September 30, 2028     86,137  
    $ 647,659  

 

4. Distribution Plan. The Fund’s Board has adopted a distribution plan (the Plan) for Class A Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Class A Share Plan, payment is authorized to G.distributors, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Adviser, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A Shares, the annual limitation under the Plan. Such payments are accrued daily and paid monthly.

 

5. Portfolio Securities. Purchases and sales of securities during the six months ended March 31, 2025, other than short term securities and U.S. Government obligations, aggregated $524,346 and $609,983, respectively.

 

6. Transactions with Affiliates and Other Arrangements. The cost of calculating the Fund’s NAV per share is a Fund expense pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. Under the sub-administration agreement with Bank of New York Mellon, the fees paid include the cost of calculating the Fund’s NAV. The Fund reimburses the Adviser for this service. The Adviser did not seek a reimbursement during the six months ended March 31, 2025.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Trust pays retainer and per meeting fees to Trustees not affiliated with the Adviser, plus specified amounts to the Lead Trustee and Audit Committee Chairman. Trustees are also reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings. Trustees who are directors or employees of the Adviser or an affiliated company receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Fund.

 

7. Line of Credit. The Fund participates in an unsecured and uncommitted line of credit, which expires on June 25, 2025 and may be renewed annually, of up to $75,000,000 under which it may borrow up to 10% of its net assets from the bank for temporary borrowing purposes. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at a floating rate equal to the higher of the Overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 135 basis points or the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 135 basis points in effect on that day. This amount, if any, would be included in “Interest expense” in the Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit.

 

8. Significant Shareholder. As of March 31, 2025, 43.7% of the Fund was beneficially owned by the Adviser and its affiliates, including managed accounts for which the affiliates of the Adviser have voting control but disclaim pecuniary interest.

 

9. Shares of Beneficial Interest. The Fund offers two classes of shares – Class A Shares and Class I Shares. Class A Shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class I Shares are offered without a sales charge.

 

The Fund imposes a redemption fee of 2.00% on all classes of shares that are redeemed or exchanged on or before the seventh day after the date of a purchase. The redemption fee is deducted from the proceeds otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholders and is retained by the Fund as an increase in paid-in capital. The redemption fees retained by the Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, if any, can be found in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets under Redemption Fees.

10. Indemnifications. The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

11. Segment Reporting. In this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or results of operations. The Fund's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer act as the Fund's chief operating decision maker (CODM), as defined in Topic 280, assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is guided by the Fund's investment objective and principal investment strategies, and executed by the Fund's portfolio management team, comprised of investment professionals employed by the Adviser. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Fund's Schedule of Investments, Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.

 

12. Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated the impact on the Fund of all subsequent events occurring through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Total return represents aggregate total return of a hypothetical investment at the beginning of the period and sold at the end of the period including reinvestment of distributions and does not reflect the applicable sales charges. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized.

(a) Per share amounts have been calculated using the average shares outstanding method.

(b) For the six months ended March 31, 2025, unaudited.

(c) Annualized.

(d) The Fund received credits from a designated broker who agreed to pay certain Fund expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, and fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, 2022, and 2021, if credits had not been received, the expense ratios would have been 1.18%, 1.19%, and 1.22% (Class A), and 0.93%, 0.94%, 0.92%, and 0.95% (Class I), respectively. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, there were no credits received from a designated broker to pay Fund expenses and for the remaining periods, there was no material impact to the expense ratios.

(e) Class A commenced on May 17, 2022.
