(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Mutual Fund Series Trust (the “Trust”), was organized as an Ohio business trust on February 27, 2006. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of thirty-five series. These financial statements include the following five series set forth below (each a “Fund” and collectively, the Funds”). The investment objectives of each Fund are set forth below. The Funds’ investment advisor is Catalyst Capital Advisors, LLC (the Advisor” or CCA”).

 

Fund   Sub-Advisor   Primary Objective
Catalyst Insider Buying Fund (“Insider Buying”)       Long-term capital appreciation
Catalyst Energy Infrastructure Fund (“Energy Infrastructure”)   SL Advisors, LLC (“SL”)   Current income and capital appreciation
Catalyst/MAP Global Equity Fund (“Global Equity”)   Managed Asset Portfolios, LLC (“MAP”)   Long-term capital appreciation
Catalyst/Lyons Tactical Allocation Fund (“Tactical Allocation”)   Lyons Wealth Management, LLC (“Lyons”)   Long-term capital appreciation
Catalyst Dynamic Alpha Fund (“Dynamic Alpha”)   Cookson, Peirce & Co., Inc. (“CP”)   Long-term capital appreciation

 

Energy Infrastructure and Dynamic Alpha are each non-diversified series of the Trust and Insider Buying, Global Equity, and Tactical Allocation are each diversified series of the Trust.

 

Each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class I shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the applicable Fund, and the classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

 

a)       Operating Segments - The Funds have adopted FASB 2023-07, Segment Reporting Topic 280 - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. Each Fund’s CODM is comprised of the portfolio manager(s) and Chief Financial Officer of the Trust. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each Fund’s income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of each Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

b)       Securities Valuation - Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ, at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the last bid price on the day of valuation. Debt securities including Bank Loans (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and based on methods which include the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type. The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end (the “open-end funds”) or closed-end investment companies (‘the “closed-end funds”). Open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The underlying funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the boards of directors of the open-end funds. The shares of many closed-end funds, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end funds purchased by the Funds will not change. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost, provided each such valuation represents fair value. Options are valued at their closing price on the exchange they are traded on. When no closing price is available, options are valued at their mean price. Futures, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the settlement price determined by the exchange.

Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or at fair value based on daily price reporting from the swap counterparty issuing the swap. Foreign currency and forward currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the London Stock Exchange close each day.

 

In some circumstances, instead of valuing securities in the usual manner, the Funds may value securities at “fair value” as determined in good faith by the Advisor as valuation designee, pursuant to the Rule 2a-5 procedures (the “Procedures”) approved by the Board. The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security. Fair value may also be used by the Board if extraordinary events occur after the close of the relevant world market but prior to the New York Stock Exchange close.

 

Each Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of December 31, 2025, for each Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

(a) Refer to the Schedule of Investments for industry security classifications.

 

(b) In accordance with Subtopic 820-10, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amount presented in this table is intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

(c) Amounts shown are cumulative net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on total return swaps contracts open as of December 31, 2025.

 

c)       Accounting for Options – The Funds are subject to equity price risks in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against risk. When the Funds write a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written put option is exercised, the purchase cost of the underlying security is reduced by the premium originally received. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Funds have no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retain the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

Certain Funds may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in a Fund’s portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to a Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into options contracts are satisfied by the deposits of cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Funds’ agent in acquiring the options).

Swap Agreements – Insider Buying has entered into total return swap transactions for investment purposes. These are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments.

 

The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index or market segment. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund amortizes upfront payments and/or accrues for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount recorded as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of their current obligation under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized appreciation to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that that amount is positive.

 

Foreign Currency – All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations for realized gain and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments are not isolated from changes in the valuation of securities held.

 

Consolidation of SubsidiaryCIBF Fund Limited (“CIBF-CBC”) – The Consolidated Schedules of Investments, Consolidated Statements of Asset and Liabilities, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Consolidated Financial Highlights of Insider Buying include the accounts of CIBF-CFC, which is a wholly-owned and controlled foreign subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Insider Buying may invest up to 25% of its total assets in CIBF-CFC, which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies.

 

A summary of the Insider Buying Fund’ investment in CIBF-CFC is as follows:

 

      Inception Date of     CFC Net Assets at     % of Total Net Assets at  
      CFC     December 31, 2025     December 31, 2025  
CIBF-CFC     11/5/2024     $ 2,903,400     15.57%  

 

For tax purposes, CIBF-CFC is an exempted Cayman investment company. CIBF-CFC has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, CIBF-CFC is a controlled foreign corporation which generates and is allocated no income which is considered effectively connected with U.S. trade of business and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned controlled foreign corporation, CIBF-CFC’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in Insider Buying’s investment company taxable income.

 

CIBC-CFC utilizes commodity-based derivative products to facilitate Insider Buying’s pursuit of its investment objectives.

 

In accordance with its investment objectives and through its exposure to the aforementioned commodity-based derivative products, each Fund may have increased or decreased exposure to one or more of the following risk factors defined below:

 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk - Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

35

 

CATALYST FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
December 31, 2025

 

Volatility Risk - Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

 

Market Risk - Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Funds. The market values of securities or other investments owned by the Funds will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, exchange rates and political events affect the securities markets. Changes in market conditions and interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. Unexpected local, regional or global events and their aftermath, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural environmental or man-made disasters; tariffs and trade wars; climate-change and climate related events; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; recessions and depressions; tariffs and trade wars; or other tragedies, catastrophes and events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to a Fund’s net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. Such events can cause investor fear and panic, which can adversely affect the economies of many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. In times of severe market disruptions, you could lose your entire investment.

 

Derivatives Risk - Even a small investment in derivatives (including a Fund’s exposure to futures, forwards and options) may give rise to leverage risk (which can increase volatility and magnify a Fund’s potential for loss), counterparty risk (the risk that a counterparty (the other party to a transaction or an agreement or the party with whom a Fund executes transactions) to a transaction with a Fund may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments), and can have a significant impact on a Fund’s performance. Derivatives are also subject to credit risk (the counterparty may default) and liquidity risk (a Fund may not be able to sell the security or otherwise exit the contract in a timely manner).

 

Swaps Risk - Swaps are subject to tracking risk because they may not be perfect substitutes for the instruments they are intended to hedge or replace. Over the counter swaps are subject to counterparty default. Leverage inherent in derivatives will tend to magnify a Fund’s losses. The costs of investing in swaps will be indirectly paid by a Fund.

 

Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Risk - By investing in CIBF-CFC, Insider Buying is indirectly exposed to the commodities risks associated with CIBF-CFC’s investments in commodity-related instruments. Shareholders of Insider Buying are indirectly subject to the principal risks of CIBF-CFC by virtue of Insider Buying’s investment in CIBF-CFC. There can be no assurance that CIBF-CFC’s investments will contribute to Insider Buying’s returns. CIBF-CFC is not registered under the 1940 Act, and is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of Insider Buying and/or CIBF-CFC to operate as described in this Prospectus and could adversely affect Insider Buying, such as by reducing Insider Buying’s investment returns. Insider Buying and CIBF-CFC are “commodity pools” under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, and the Advisor is a “commodity pool operator” registered with and regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). As a result, additional CFTC-mandated disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping obligations apply with respect to Insider Buying and CIBF-CFC and subject each to CFTC penalties if reporting was found to be deficient.

(1) Excess collateral is not shown on this table.

 

d)       Investment Companies – Some Funds may invest in other investment companies, including closed-end funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) (collectively, Underlying Funds). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities it is designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

 

Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Funds. As a result, the cost of investing in the Funds will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each Underlying Fund is subject to its own specific risks, but the advisor and/or sub-advisor expects the principal investments risks of such Underlying Funds will be similar to the risks of investing in the Funds.

 

e)       Federal Income Tax - The Funds have qualified and/or intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies and to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required.

 

As of and during the period ended December 31, 2025, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expense. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax expense as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. As required, the Trust’s officers have analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on or to be taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years or periods ended 2023-2025 for the Funds) or expected to be taken in 2026 and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in these financial statements. The tax filings are open for examination by applicable taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service. No examinations of the Funds’ filings are presently in progress.

 

f)       Security Transactions and Investment Income - Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized over their respective lives using the effective interest method, except certain callable debt securities that are held at premium and will be amortized to the earliest call date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from a Fund’s investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs”) generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record these distributions as investment income and subsequently adjusts these distributions within the components of net assets based upon their tax treatment when the information becomes available.

g)       Energy Infrastructure typically concentrates its investments in the energy sector and, therefore, is more susceptible to energy sector risk. Investments in MLPs and MLP-related securities involve risks different from those of investing in common stock including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP or MLP-related security, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between an MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks (which could occur if the MLP raises capital and then invests it in projects whose return fails to exceed the cost of capital raised) and risks related to the general partner’s limited call right. MLPs and MLP-related securities are generally considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate volatility, these investments may not provide attractive returns. Depending on the state of interest rates in general, the use of MLPs or MLP-related securities could enhance or harm the overall performance of the Fund. The Energy Infrastructure Fund has a tax year end of November 30.

 

h)       Multiple Class Allocations - Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative net assets. Distribution fees are charged to each respective share class in accordance with the distribution plan.

 

i)       Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds in the Trust.

 

j)       Distribution to Shareholders - Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The following table summarizes each Fund’s dividend and capital gain declaration policy:

 

Fund   Income Dividends   Capital Gains
Insider Buying   Annually   Annually
Energy Infrastructure   Monthly   Annually
Global Equity   Annually   Annually
Tactical Allocation   Annually   Annually
Dynamic Alpha   Annually   Annually

 

k)       Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies.

 

l)       Indemnification - The Trust indemnifies its Officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

 

m)       Redemption Fees and Sales Charges (loads) - A wire transfer fee of $15 may be charged to defray custodial charges for redemptions paid by wire transfer. A maximum sales charge of 5.75% is imposed on Class A shares of the Funds. Investments in Class A shares made at or above the $1 million breakpoint where you do not pay an initial sales charge and may be subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on shares redeemed within two years of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions). A CDSC of 1.00% is imposed on Class A in the event of certain redemption transactions within one year following such investments. There were no CDSC fees paid by the shareholders of the Funds.

 

n)       Cash – Each Fund considers its investment in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. Each Fund maintains cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Each Fund maintains these balances with a high quality financial institution.

 

o)       Distributions from REITs — Distribution from REITs are initially recorded as dividend income and, to the extent such represent a return of capital or capital gain for tax purposes, are reclassified when such information becomes available.

(3) INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Advisor acts as investment advisor for the Funds pursuant to the terms of an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Funds (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor manages the investment operations of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s respective investment policies and restrictions. Each Fund’s investment sub-advisor is responsible for the day-to-day operation of its portfolios. The Advisor provides the Funds with investment advice and supervision and furnishes an investment program for the Funds. For its investment advisory services, the Funds pay to the Advisor an annualized fee as shown in the below table, such fees to be computed daily based upon daily average net assets of the Funds. The Funds’ sub-advisors are paid by the Advisor, not the Funds.

 

The Advisor and the Trust, with respect to the Funds, have entered into Expense Limitation Agreements (the “Expense Limitation”) under which the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to ensure total annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs, such as (a) interest and (b) dividends on securities sold short; taxes; underlying fund expenses; and extraordinary expenses such as regulatory inquiry and litigation expenses) do not exceed the expense limitation shown in the table below, based each Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Advisor waived investment advisory fees. The Advisor may recapture a portion of the waived amounts. The Advisor may seek reimbursement only for fees waived or expenses reimbursed by a Fund within the three years following the date the waiver and/or reimbursement was incurred, if the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the limitation in effect at that time of the waiver or at the time of the reimbursement, no later than the dates as stated below:

Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act are paid a quarterly retainer and receive compensation for each special Board meeting and Risk and Compliance Committee meeting attended. The fees paid to the Independent Trustees for their attendance at a meeting will be shared equally by the Funds of the Trust in which the meeting relates. The Lead Independent Trustee of the Trust, and the Chairmen of the Trust’s Audit Committee and Risk and Compliance Committee receive an additional quarterly retainer. The “interested persons” of the Trust receive no compensation from the Funds.

The fee may be used for a variety of purposes, including compensating dealers and other financial service organizations for eligible services provided by those parties to the Funds and their shareholders and to reimburse Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) and Advisor for distribution related expenses. Brokers may receive a 1.00% commission from the Distributor for the sale of Class C shares. Alt Fund Distributors LLC, acts as a wholesale marketing and distribution agent for the Funds. As compensation for these services, Alt Fund Distributors is entitled to reimbursement, through the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 Plan, of expenses attributable to sales of Fund shares including marketing materials, broker commission financing costs, and wholesaling fees.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gains (losses) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies and adjustments for partnerships, grantor trusts and C-Corporation return of capital distributions. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above may include unrealized foreign currency gains (losses).

 

Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The following Funds incurred and elected to defer such late year losses as follows:

During the fiscal period ended June 30, 2025, certain of the Funds utilized tax equalization which is the use of earnings and profits distributions to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax basis treatment of net operating losses, accumulated losses from the Funds’ wholly owned subsidiaries, the use of tax equalization credits and distributions in excess resulted in reclassifications for the Funds for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 as follows:

(6) LINE OF CREDIT

 

The Funds have a $200,000,000 uncommitted line of credit provided by U.S. Bank National Association (the “Bank”) under an agreement (the “Uncommitted Line”). Any advance under the Uncommitted Line is contemplated primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Interest on borrowings is payable on an annualized basis. The Uncommitted Line has an interest rate of the Prime Rate with a maturity of January 20, 2027. The Uncommitted Line is not a “committed” line of credit, which is to say that the Bank is not obligated to lend money to the Funds. Accordingly, it is possible that the Funds may wish to borrow money for a temporary or emergency purpose but may not be able to do so. During the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Funds accessed the line of credit, based only on the days borrowed, as follows:

 

    Average Amount                       Outstanding  
    Borrowings     Interest     Average     Number of Days     Borrowings  
    Outstanding     Expense (1)     Interest Rate     Outstanding     12/31/2025  
Insider Buying   $ 29,000     $ 6       7.50 %     1     $  
Energy Infrastructure     718,573       11,755       7.23 %     82       143,000  
Global Equity     174,500       262       6.75 %     8        
Tactical Allocation     127,420       1,231       7.01 %     50        
Dynamic Alpha     1,086,000       417       7.13 %     2        

 

(1) Includes only Interest Expense related to Line of Credit for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and may not tie back to the Statements of Operations, which also may include overdrafts, line of credit fees, and broker interests.

 

(7) SECURITIES LENDING

 

The Funds have entered into a Securities Lending Agreement with the Bank. Each participating Fund can lend its securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. Loans are collateralized at a value at least equal to 105% of the then current market value of any loaned security that are foreign, or 102% of the then current market value of any other loaned security. All interest and dividend payments received on securities which are held on loan, provided that there is no material default, will be paid to the respective Fund. A portion of the income generated by the investment in the Funds’ collateral, net of any rebates paid by the Bank to the borrowers is remitted to the Bank as lending agent and the remainder is paid to the Fund(s).

 

Securities lending income, if any, is disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations and is net of fees retained by the counterparty. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, each Fund has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities lending transactions are overnight and continuous.

Securities collateralized below 102% or 105% for foreign securities. The Trust’s securities lending policies and procedures require that the borrower: (i) deliver cash or U.S. Government securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% or 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and (ii) at all times thereafter mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral is at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. From time to time the collateral may not be 102% or 105% due to end of day market movement. The next business day additional collateral is obtained/received from the borrower to replenish/reestablish 102% or 105%.

(8) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

 

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2025, the companies that held more than 25% of the voting securities of the Funds, and may be deemed to control each respective Fund, are as follows:

 

    Energy   Global   Dynamic

(9) ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

 

The Funds adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements and modifies or eliminates certain existing disclosure provisions. The amendments in this ASU are intended to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information and to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Fund’s adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.
