What affected the Fund’s performance this period?
The Fund delivered a strong absolute return but trailed the Russell 2000. Results came from bottom-up stock selection in Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology, Consumer Staples and Utilities. Information Technology was the standout, anchored by MKS Inc., which rallied on double-digit sales across semiconductor, advanced packaging and photonics end markets, while electronics distributors Arrow Electronics and Avnet beat consensus as the industry recovered from the 2023–2024 inventory correction. In Consumer Discretionary, for‑profit education companies Laureate Education and Perdoceo Education gained on organic enrollment growth, while American Eagle Outfitters and Buckle Inc. rallied on strong same‑store sales. Ingles Markets continued its post‑COVID margin recovery in Consumer Staples, Black Hills Corp. supported returns in Utilities, and CVR Energy and Diamondback Energy benefited from firmer oil prices. Lundin Mining capitalized on tight copper supply and strong execution at its Caserones mine, while Bermuda‑domiciled Bank of N.T. Butterfield added meaningfully in Financials. Key detractors included Graphic Packaging, which was sold during the year; Progress Software, weighed by a broader software derating; office‑furniture maker HNI Corp.; and Puerto Rico’s EVERTEC, which was exited on macro concerns.

Effective December 5, 2025, a reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the issued and outstanding shares of Class R6 took place. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, for each Class R6 share of the Fund a shareholder held, the shareholder received a proportional number of shares of Class R6 of the Fund with the same aggregate dollar value. The total dollar value of a shareholder's investment in Class R6 shares of the Fund was unchanged and each shareholder continued to own the same percentage (by value) of the Fund immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as the shareholder did immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split Ratio was 3.861 to 1.

What affected the Fund’s performance this period?
Health Care, one of the most heavily weighted sectors in the portfolio, represented approximately 25% of total holdings. The significant overweight position in the sector, combined with weak performance from several holdings, detracted roughly 240 basis points from relative results during the period. Notable detractors within Health Care included UnitedHealth Group, which declined 47%, and Elevance Health, which fell 31%.
In addition, three positions in the Information Technology sector contributed meaningfully to underperformance. In descending order, these were SAP (35.6%), Accenture (35%), and Salesforce (30%).
The portfolio benefited from favorable performance in the Communication Services, Financials, and Real Estate sectors during the period.

What affected the Fund’s performance this period?
Health Care, one of the most heavily weighted sectors in the portfolio, represented approximately 25% of total holdings. The significant overweight position in the sector, combined with weak performance from several holdings, detracted roughly 240 basis points from relative results during the period. Notable detractors within Health Care included UnitedHealth Group, which declined 47%, and Elevance Health, which fell 31%.
In addition, three positions in the Information Technology sector contributed meaningfully to underperformance. In descending order, these were SAP (35.6%), Accenture (35%), and Salesforce (30%).
The portfolio benefited from favorable performance in the Communication Services, Financials, and Real Estate sectors during the period.

Effective December 5, 2025, a reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the issued and outstanding shares of Class R6 took place. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, for each Class R6 share of the Fund a shareholder held, the shareholder received a proportional number of shares of Class R6 of the Fund with the same aggregate dollar value. The total dollar value of a shareholder's investment in Class R6 shares of the Fund was unchanged and each shareholder continued to own the same percentage (by value) of the Fund immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as the shareholder did immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split Ratio was 3.258 to 1.

What affected the Fund’s performance this period?
The rapid advance of artificial intelligence has driven a significant uptick in energy demand, highlighting the need to increase our energy supply and upgrade and strengthen our electrical grid. The list of top contributors to the Fund’s performance over the past year were beneficiaries: turbine suppliers, electrical equipment suppliers, electrical grid and renewable energy contractors, and energy storage companies. Additionally, the continuation of the de-globalization of our economy due to tariff wars, national security concerns and other nationalistic behaviors has helped the Fund’s positions in companies that improve energy security, provide domestic sources of key materials and improve the efficiency of our supply chains. Most of the detractors to Fund performance were companies negatively impacted by fears that AI would disrupt their business models or companies experiencing slowdowns in their end markets due to economic uncertainty.

What affected the Fund’s performance this period?
The rapid advance of artificial intelligence has driven a significant uptick in energy demand, highlighting the need to increase our energy supply and upgrade and strengthen our electrical grid. The list of top contributors to the Fund’s performance over the past year were beneficiaries: turbine suppliers, electrical equipment suppliers, electrical grid and renewable energy contractors, and energy storage companies. Additionally, the continuation of the de-globalization of our economy due to tariff wars, national security concerns and other nationalistic behaviors has helped the Fund’s positions in companies that improve energy security, provide domestic sources of key materials and improve the efficiency of our supply chains. Most of the detractors to Fund performance were companies negatively impacted by fears that AI would disrupt their business models or companies experiencing slowdowns in their end markets due to economic uncertainty.

Effective December 5, 2025, a reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the issued and outstanding shares of Class R6 took place. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, for each Class R6 share of the Fund a shareholder held, the shareholder received a proportional number of shares of Class R6 of the Fund with the same aggregate dollar value. The total dollar value of a shareholder's investment in Class R6 shares of the Fund was unchanged and each shareholder continued to own the same percentage (by value) of the Fund immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as the shareholder did immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split Ratio was 2.188 to 1.

What affected the Fund’s performance this period?
The Fund’s performance was led by strong stock selection in Information Technology (“IT”), Industrials, Financials and Materials.IT was the standout sector contributor, driven by the AI‑fueled shortage in advanced chips and memory; SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics were the top two contributors overall as supply‑demand dynamics favored memory manufacturers. Industrials and Financials also drove results, with Marubeni closing in on guidance targets through new investments and a richer non‑resource profit mix, while Shinhan Financial and Mitsubishi UFJ benefited from strong quarterly results and earnings momentum. Materials contributed meaningfully: Lundin Mining posted record revenues on higher copper prices, and Yara International gained share after the Strait of Hormuz closure disrupted roughly 30% of global nitrogen supply. By country, South Korea dominated, followed by Japan, Canada and Norway. Key laggards included Teleperformance, pressured by fears that generative AI will disrupt customer service outsourcing; Nomad Foods, which cut full‑year guidance; Alibaba, amid skepticism over its sizeable AI and cloud capex; and Sanofi, following mixed COPD Phase 3 trial results.

What affected the Fund’s performance this period?
The Fund’s performance was led by strong stock selection in Information Technology (“IT”), Industrials, Financials and Materials.IT was the standout sector contributor, driven by the AI‑fueled shortage in advanced chips and memory; SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics were the top two contributors overall as supply‑demand dynamics favored memory manufacturers. Industrials and Financials also drove results, with Marubeni closing in on guidance targets through new investments and a richer non‑resource profit mix, while Shinhan Financial and Mitsubishi UFJ benefited from strong quarterly results and earnings momentum. Materials contributed meaningfully: Lundin Mining posted record revenues on higher copper prices, and Yara International gained share after the Strait of Hormuz closure disrupted roughly 30% of global nitrogen supply. By country, South Korea dominated, followed by Japan, Canada and Norway. Key laggards included Teleperformance, pressured by fears that generative AI will disrupt customer service outsourcing; Nomad Foods, which cut full‑year guidance; Alibaba, amid skepticism over its sizeable AI and cloud capex; and Sanofi, following mixed COPD Phase 3 trial results.

Effective December 5, 2025, a reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the issued and outstanding shares of Class R6 took place. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, for each Class R6 share of the Fund a shareholder held, the shareholder received a proportional number of shares of Class R6 of the Fund with the same aggregate dollar value. The total dollar value of a shareholder's investment in Class R6 shares of the Fund was unchanged and each shareholder continued to own the same percentage (by value) of the Fund immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as the shareholder did immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split Ratio was 2.119 to 1.

What affected the Fund’s performance this period?
The Fund delivered a strong absolute return but trailed the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index, which was lifted by sharp rallies in metals & mining and other capital‑intensive sectors where the Fund is structurally underweight, as well as outsized gains in markets such as Taiwan, South Korea and Canada where positioning differed materially from the benchmark. Stock selection was strong in the sectors the Fund does emphasize: Utilities, Consumer Staples and Industrials, with Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom and France the largest country contributors. Utilities was the standout sector. Brazil’s Equatorial Energia posted robust earnings on volume growth, tariff adjustments and the profitable sale of transmission assets, while France’s Rubis and Portugal’s Redes Energéticas Nacionais rallied on rising electricity demand and grid‑investment tailwinds. Ireland’s Glanbia surged on strong whey protein demand tied to GLP‑1 adoption and functional nutrition, anchoring the Consumer Staples contribution. In Japan, Kanematsu Corp. benefited from sustained momentum in IT services and mobile retail, and Kraftia Corporation was sold at its target valuation. Norwegian regional banks Sparebanken Norge and SpareBank 1 Sør‑Norge gained as Norges Bank held policy rates at 4%, supporting net interest margins. Key detractors included goeasy Ltd., Zhongsheng Group, Hikma Pharmaceuticals and Sopra Steria.

What affected the Fund’s performance this period?
The Fund delivered a strong absolute return but trailed the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index, which was lifted by sharp rallies in metals & mining and other capital‑intensive sectors where the Fund is structurally underweight, as well as outsized gains in markets such as Taiwan, South Korea and Canada where positioning differed materially from the benchmark. Stock selection was strong in the sectors the Fund does emphasize: Utilities, Consumer Staples and Industrials, with Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom and France the largest country contributors. Utilities was the standout sector. Brazil’s Equatorial Energia posted robust earnings on volume growth, tariff adjustments and the profitable sale of transmission assets, while France’s Rubis and Portugal’s Redes Energéticas Nacionais rallied on rising electricity demand and grid‑investment tailwinds. Ireland’s Glanbia surged on strong whey protein demand tied to GLP‑1 adoption and functional nutrition, anchoring the Consumer Staples contribution. In Japan, Kanematsu Corp. benefited from sustained momentum in IT services and mobile retail, and Kraftia Corporation was sold at its target valuation. Norwegian regional banks Sparebanken Norge and SpareBank 1 Sør‑Norge gained as Norges Bank held policy rates at 4%, supporting net interest margins. Key detractors included goeasy Ltd., Zhongsheng Group, Hikma Pharmaceuticals and Sopra Steria.

Effective December 5, 2025, a reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the issued and outstanding shares of Class R6 took place. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, for each Class R6 share of the Fund a shareholder held, the shareholder received a proportional number of shares of Class R6 of the Fund with the same aggregate dollar value. The total dollar value of a shareholder's investment in Class R6 shares of the Fund was unchanged and each shareholder continued to own the same percentage (by value) of the Fund immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as the shareholder did immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split Ratio was 1.429 to 1.

The Fund delivered a strong absolute return but trailed the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, which was lifted by sharp rallies in headline AI semiconductor names and in Energy, an area where the Fund had limited exposure. Stock selection was strong in the sectors the Fund does emphasize: Materials, Consumer Staples and Utilities, with Taiwan, Italy, Norway and Brazil the largest country contributors. Italy’s SOL S.p.A. led contributors, extending a multi‑year run of robust earnings as its European home‑care services division grew alongside the core industrial gas business. Taiwan’s Yageo Corporation and Hong Kong’s Kingboard Laminates rallied as IT components benefited from AI infrastructure demand, with Kingboard’s copper‑clad laminates a key input for printed circuit boards used in AI and server chips. Norway’s Sparebanken Norge gained as Norges Bank held policy rates at 4%, supporting net interest margins, while Peru’s Credicorp Ltd. expanded margins on loan growth and lower funding costs. Brazil’s Equatorial Energia anchored Utilities on volume growth, tariff adjustments and the profitable sale of its transmission assets. Key detractors included Canada’s goeasy Ltd.; France’s Neurones; Switzerland’s ALSO Holding; China’s Zhongsheng Group; and Thailand’s Krungthai Card.

What affected the Fund’s performance this period?
The Fund delivered a strong absolute return but trailed the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, which was lifted by sharp rallies in headline AI semiconductor names and in Energy, an area where the Fund had limited exposure. Stock selection was strong in the sectors the Fund does emphasize: Materials, Consumer Staples and Utilities, with Taiwan, Italy, Norway and Brazil the largest country contributors. Italy’s SOL S.p.A. led contributors, extending a multi‑year run of robust earnings as its European home‑care services division grew alongside the core industrial gas business. Taiwan’s Yageo Corporation and Hong Kong’s Kingboard Laminates rallied as IT components benefited from AI infrastructure demand, with Kingboard’s copper‑clad laminates a key input for printed circuit boards used in AI and server chips. Norway’s Sparebanken Norge gained as Norges Bank held policy rates at 4%, supporting net interest margins, while Peru’s Credicorp Ltd. expanded margins on loan growth and lower funding costs. Brazil’s Equatorial Energia anchored Utilities on volume growth, tariff adjustments and the profitable sale of its transmission assets. Key detractors included Canada’s goeasy Ltd.; France’s Neurones; Switzerland’s ALSO Holding; China’s Zhongsheng Group; and Thailand’s Krungthai Card.

Item 2: Code of Ethics
As of the end of the period, March 31, 2026, Pear Tree Funds (the “Trust”) had adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR, that applies to its President and Treasurer and its Chief Financial Officer. During the period covered by this report, the Registrant did not amend the code of ethics. During the period covered by this report, the Registrant did not grant a waiver to any person covered by the code of ethics from any provision of the code of ethics that relates to one or more of the items set forth in paragraph (b) of item 2 of Form N-CSR.
A copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.
Item 3: Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Registrant’s Trustees have determined that the Registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on their audit committee. The audit committee financial expert, as defined in Instruction 2(b) of Item 3(a) of Form N-CSR, is Clinton S. Marshall. Mr. Marshall is “independent” for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4: Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The Registrant engaged the services of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP (“TWB”), an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, to serve as the principal accountant for the audit of the Funds’ annual financial statements for the last two fiscal years.
| (a) | Audit Fees: For each of the last two fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by TWB for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements were 2026: $ 140,000; and 2025: $140,000. |
| (b) | Audit Related Fees: Not applicable |
| (c) | Tax Fees: For each of the last two fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by TWB for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were 2026: $ 21,400; and 2025: $ 21,400. Those services comprised review of the Registrant’s U.S. federal income tax returns and the required state corporate income tax returns, as well as review of excise tax distribution calculations and identification and analysis of the passive foreign investment company status of foreign corporate equities. |
| (d) | All Other Fees: Not applicable |
| (e) | Pre-Approval Policies of the Audit Committee: |
| (1) | The Registrant’s Audit Committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s principal accountant for the Registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such a service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by one audit committee member with ratification at the next scheduled audit committee meeting. Waiver of pre-approval for audit or non-audit services requiring fees of a de minimis amount is not permitted. |
| (2) | No services included in (b) – (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |
| (f) | Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on TWB’s engagement to audit the Registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than TWB’s full-time, permanent employees. |
| (g) | For each of the last two fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed by TWB for non-audit services rendered to the Registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, were 2026: $ 0; and 2025: $0. |
| (h) | All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the Registrant’s Audit Committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the Registrant’s Audit Committee in maintaining TWB’s independence. |
Item 5: Audit Committee of Listed Registrants
Not applicable.
Item 6: Investments
| (a) | The Schedule of Investments is incorporated by reference as part of the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights for Open-End Management Investment Companies under Item 7(a) of this Form. |

PEAR TREE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026
1. Organization of the Trust
Pear Tree Funds, (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust currently has six separate series (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), offering shares of beneficial interest, each Fund having its own investment objective and principal strategy.
The following Funds and their corresponding investment objectives are:
Pear Tree Polaris Small Cap Fund (“Small Cap”), which seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation.
Pear Tree Quality Fund (“Quality”), which seeks long-term growth of capital.
Pear Tree Essex Environmental Opportunities Fund (“Environmental Opportunities”), which seeks long-term growth of capital.
Pear Tree Polaris Foreign Value Fund (“Foreign Value”), which seeks long-term growth of capital and income.
Pear Tree Polaris Foreign Value Small Cap Fund (“Foreign Value Small Cap”), which seeks long-term growth of capital and income.
Pear Tree Polaris International Opportunities Fund (“International Opportunities”), which seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Each of the Funds is a “diversified company,” within the meaning of the 1940 Act, other than Quality, which is a “non-diversified company.”
As the Trust is an investment company, each Fund accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services-Investment Companies”.
The Trustees of the Trust (the “Trustees”) have authorized each Fund to issue three classes of shares, designated as Ordinary Shares, Institutional Shares and R6 Shares. The three classes differ principally in their respective expense structures and minimum investment requirements. Each class of shares of a Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of that Fund and has equal rights to voting (except as noted in the following sentence), redemptions, dividends and liquidations. Ordinary Shares bear distribution (Rule 12b-1) fees and have exclusive voting rights with respect to the distribution plan that has been adopted by Ordinary Share shareholders pursuant to Rule 12b-1. There is no 12b-1 distribution plan applicable to Institutional Shares or R6 shares of any Fund.
At times, a Fund’s investments may include investments in industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, compounding the Fund’s susceptibility to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors. To the extent that a Fund is permitted to invest in foreign markets, especially emerging markets or countries with limited or developing markets, such investments may subject the Fund to a greater degree of risk than similar investments in the U.S. market or another developed market. Risks associated with these foreign and developing markets include political, social or economic factors and may affect the price of a Fund’s investments and income generated by these investments, as well as a Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts. Information regarding each Fund’s principal investment risks is contained in the Funds’ prospectus. Please refer to the Funds’ prospectus when considering a Fund’s investment risks.

PEAR TREE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
March 31, 2026
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements, which are consistent with those policies generally accepted in the investment company industry.
Operating Segments
Starting in 2025, the Funds 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 Funds’ financial position or the results of their operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 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. The management of the Funds’ Adviser acts as the Portfolios’ CODM. The Funds represent a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Funds as a whole and the Funds’ long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Funds’ portfolio managers. The financial information in the form of the Funds’ schedule of investments, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Funds’ comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Funds’ single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Funds’ financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities are valued each business day generally at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or market on which they are traded. If on a business day there is no such reported sale, the securities generally are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. For securities where no such sales have been reported, a Fund may value such securities at the last reported bid price. In the event that there is information suggesting that valuation of such securities based upon bid and/or asked prices may not be accurate, a Fund may value such securities in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures (the “Valuation Procedures”) established by the Trustees, which may include a determination to value such securities at the last reported sales price. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. Securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon the exchange rate at the time of valuation. As a result, changes in the value of those currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar may affect a Fund’s net asset value. Because foreign markets may be open at different times than when the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading, the value of a Fund’s shares may change on days when Fund shareholders are not able to buy or sell Fund shares. If events materially affecting the values of a Fund’s foreign investments occur between the close of foreign markets and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, these investments may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith using the Valuation Procedures.
63
PEAR TREE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
March 31, 2026
The Funds’ Valuation Procedures include fair valuation accounting standards that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
•Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a Fund has 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 on 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 a Fund’s 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 the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of the 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 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 (with Level 1 being the highest level input and Level 3 being the lowest level input) that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in changing an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.
Valuation Inputs
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2026:

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as, among other things, this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss with respect to these arrangements to be minimal.
Reverse Stock Split
On November 26, 2025, the Trustees approved a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of Class R6 shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of each of the following funds: Small Cap; Quality; Environmental Opportunities; Foreign Value; and Foreign Value Small Cap. The Reverse Stock Split took place after the close of business on December 5, 2025. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, for each Class R6 share of the Fund a shareholder held, the shareholder received a proportional number of shares of Class R6 of the Fund with the same aggregate dollar value. The total dollar value of a shareholder’s

investment in Class R6 shares of the Fund was unchanged and each shareholder continued to own the same percentage (by value) of the Fund immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as the shareholder did immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split was not a taxable event, nor did it have an impact on the Fund’s holdings or performance. Shares of International Opportunities Class R6 remain unchanged. The following table shows the ratio of Class R6 shares to post-Reverse Stock Split Class R6 shares.

Subsequent Events
In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financials were issued. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the period that materially impacted the accounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements.
Security Transactions and Related Investment Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (i.e., the date the order to buy or sell is executed, which may or may not be the settlement date). Dividend income, less foreign taxes withheld, is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as a Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable diligence. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or a capital gain are recorded as reductions of cost of investments and/or as realized gains. Each Fund estimates the components of distributions that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. In determining the net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities is determined on the identified cost basis. Each Fund’s investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among classes based upon the daily relative net assets.
Foreign Taxes
The Funds are subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which some of the Funds invest. Additionally, capital gains realized upon disposition of securities issued in or by certain foreign countries are subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries. All taxes are computed in accordance with the applicable foreign tax law, and, to the extent permitted, capital losses are used to offset capital gains. Taxes attributable to income are recognized by the Funds as a reduction of income. Current and deferred tax expense attributable to capital gains is reflected as a component of realized or change in unrealized gain (loss) on securities in the Statement of Operations. To the extent that a Fund may have country specific capital loss carry-forwards, such carry-forwards are applied against net unrealized gains
68
PEAR TREE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

when determining the deferred tax liability. Any deferred tax liability recognized by the Funds is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Non-U.S. Deferred tax. Management evaluates its deferred tax assets and liabilities and applies an allowance to such deferred tax assets and liabilities to the extent it has determined that such deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in the future.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
When a Fund participates in a reverse repurchase transaction, the Funds’ custodian takes possession through the federal book-entry system of those securities of the counterparty collateralizing the counterparty’s obligation under the reverse repurchase transaction. Collateral is marked-to-market daily to confirm that the market value of the collateral remains sufficient to cover the counterparty’s obligation to the participating Fund. The Funds may experience costs and delays in liquidating the collateral if the counterparty or the issuer of the collateral defaults or enters into bankruptcy. At March 31, 2026, there were no outstanding Reverse Repurchase Agreements.
Counterparty Credit Risk
Some transactions in which a Fund may engage involve instruments that are not traded on an exchange. Rather, these instruments are traded between counterparties based on contractual relationships. As a result, a Fund is subject to the risk that the counterparty will not perform obligations under the related contract. Although each Fund expects to enter into transactions only with counterparties believed by the Fund’s investment manager or sub-adviser to be creditworthy, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will not default and that the Fund will not sustain a loss on a transaction as a result.
Foreign Currency Transactions
All monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rate at the time of valuation. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the prevailing rates of exchange when accrued or incurred.
Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to manage their exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a set price. The forward currency contracts are valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market daily. The change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it is opened and the value at the time it is closed. In addition to the risks of financial investments mentioned above, risks arise from unanticipated movements in currency values. At March 31, 2026, there were no outstanding Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.
69
PEAR TREE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
March 31, 2026
Spot Foreign Currency Contracts
Certain Funds may engage in spot foreign currency contracts. A spot foreign currency contract is an obligation to buy or sell with one currency a specified amount of another currency at the prevailing exchange rate for immediate settlement on the spot date, which is generally T + 2. Although, these transactions are instantaneous and may mitigate unwanted foreign exchange exposure, they are subject to movements in the spot exchange rate (i.e., the prevailing exchange rate at the time of the transaction), which can be unpredictable.
At March 31, 2026, there were no outstanding Spot Foreign Currency Contracts.
Securities Lending
During the period covered by this report, no Fund lent any of its securities and the Funds currently are not participating in a securities lending program.
Allocations of Trust Expenses
Trust expenses attributable to a specific Fund are allocated in their entirety to that Fund. Trust expenses that are not attributed to a specific Fund are allocated among all Funds in proportion to the respective net assets of the Funds.
A Fund’s expenses allocable to a specific class of shares of that Fund, such as distribution (12b-1) fees and certain transfer agent and fund administration fees, are allocated to that class. Fund expenses that are not attributable to a specific class, which includes management fees and custody expenses, are allocated to all classes in proportion to the respective net assets of the Fund’s classes. (See Note 3.)
Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated at the Fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on their respective percentages of adjusted net assets at the beginning of the day.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions to shareholders are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions paid by each Fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time, and in the same amount, with the exception of certain fee waivers and expense Reimbursement Agreements, as well as certain class-specific expenses. Ordinary Shares incur distribution (12b-1) fees while Institutional Shares and R6 Shares do not. Distributions from net investment income for each Fund, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributions from net realized gains for each Fund, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
3. Management Fees, Advisory Fees and Other Affiliate Transactions
Management Fees
The Trust has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Pear Tree Advisors, Inc. (the “Manager”) with respect to each Fund. Compensation of the Manager, for management and administration of the Funds, including selection and monitoring of investment sub-advisers, is paid

monthly based on the average daily net asset value of each Fund for the month. The annual stated contractual rate of such fees is 1.00 percent of the average daily total net assets of each of the Funds except for Small Cap, for which there is an annual rate of 0.80 percent of the average daily total net assets and Environmental Opportunities and International Opportunities, for which there is an annual rate of 0.90 percent of the average daily total net assets.
Since March 31, 2017 and most recently extended to July 31, 2026, the Manager has agreed, with respect to Foreign Value and Foreign Value Small Cap, to waive a portion of its management fees that it would otherwise receive under the Management Agreement such that the actual aggregate management fee that the Manager would receive during the waiver period for serving as the investment manager of each such Fund would be calculated using an annual rate of 0.90 percent of that Fund’s Net Assets, as such term is defined in the Management Agreement. On and before July 31, 2026 each waiver arrangement only may be terminated by the Trustees in their sole discretion.
Since December 1, 2013, and most recently extended to July 31, 2026, the Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee relating to Quality Fund such that the aggregate management fee to be received by the Manager during the waiver period would be determined using (a) an annual rate of 0.75 percent of Quality Fund’s average daily net assets if the Quality Fund’s average daily net assets are up to and including $125 million, and (b) thereafter, an annual rate of 0.50 percent of Quality Fund’s average daily net assets for amounts in excess of $125 million. On or before July 31, 2026, this arrangement only may be terminated by the Trustees in their sole discretion.
Since August 1, 2023 and most recently extended to July 31, 2026, the Manager has contractually agreed to waive such portion of the management fees that it would otherwise receive under its agreement with Pear Tree Funds for serving as investment manager to International Opportunities such that the aggregate management fee that the Manager would receive during the waiver period for serving as the investment manager of International Opportunities would be calculated using an annual rate of 0.80 percent of International Opportunities’ net assets. This fee waiver only may be terminated by the Trustees in their sole discretion.
In addition, under the Management Agreement, the Manager has agreed to reduce its compensation, and if necessary, assume expenses, with respect to Small Cap Fund to the extent that the total expenses of Small Cap Fund individually exceed 2 percent of average net assets for any fiscal year. Small Cap Fund expenses subject to this limitation are exclusive of brokerage, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, which include incremental custody costs associated with international securities. Expenses are calculated gross of custody credits, if applicable.
For the year ended March 31, 2026, aggregate management fees inclusive of fee waivers and reimbursements, from all Funds were $24,335,621, as disclosed on the Statement of Operations.
Since November 15, 2019, and most recently extended to July 31, 2026, the Manager has agreed to reimburse the Foreign Value Fund R6 Shares to the extent necessary for the Fund to maintain the total net annual operating expenses for the class to 0.94%. Reimbursed expenses do not include amounts paid to a third party to assist in reclaiming EU tax overpayments made by the Fund. On and before July 31, 2026 this arrangement only may be terminated by the Trustees in their sole discretion.
Since August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2025, the Manager had contractually agreed to reimburse International Opportunities with respect to Institutional Shares for a portion of International Opportunities’
71
PEAR TREE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

expenses attributable to Institutional Shares in an amount equal to 0.10 percent per annum, provided that the amount of such reimbursement for such year shall not exceed the amount of the portion of International Opportunities’ adjusted “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” attributable to Institutional Shares for that year, Adjusted “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” for a year means all International Opportunities operating expenses for the year, other than management fees, distribution and services fees, AFFE and extraordinary expenses. This agreement terminated on July 31, 2025, and reimbursements terminated for all periods after that date.
Since November 1, 2024 and most recently extended through July 31, 2026, the Manager has contractually agreed to reimburse such portion of the expenses of International Opportunities Fund attributable to each of Institutional and R6 Shares such that “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement” with respect to each of Institutional Shares and R6 Shares, other than extraordinary expenses, is not greater than 0.99 percent of International Opportunities Fund’s net assets attributable to Institutional Shares and 0.96 percent of International Opportunities Fund’s net assets attributable to R6 Shares, respectively. On and before July 31, 2026, this arrangement only may be terminated by the Trustees in their sole discretion.
Since June 1, 2020, and most recently extended to July 31, 2026, the Manager has agreed to reimburse the Pear Tree Quality Fund Institutional Shares to the extent necessary for the Fund to maintain the total net annual operating expenses for the class to 0.79%.

Distribution Fees, including Fees under 12b-1 Plans
The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”), which allows each Fund to pay certain distribution and shareholder servicing activities relating to Ordinary Shares from Fund assets. The Funds also have entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with U.S. Boston Capital Corporation (the “Distributor”). For its services under the 12b-1 Plan and the Distribution Agreement, the Distributor receives the distribution (12b-1) fees, that is, 0.25 percent of the average daily net asset value of the Ordinary Shares of the Funds, payable monthly.
Holders of Institutional Shares and R6 Shares pay no portion of the 12b-1 Plan expenses of the Funds applicable to Ordinary Shares, and neither Institutional Shares nor R6 Shares are subject to any other distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1. Holders of Institutional Shares and R6 Shares also are not entitled to vote on matters involving the 12b-1 Plan applicable to Ordinary Shares.
During the year ended March 31, 2026, the aggregate 12b-1 distribution fees of the Funds were $1,090,940, as disclosed on the Statement of Operations.

Transfer agent functions are provided to the Funds by Pear Tree Institutional Services, a division of the Manager (the “Transfer Agent”), pursuant to a transfer agent agreement (the “Transfer Agent Agreement”). The Transfer Agent Agreement provides that with respect to Ordinary Shares and Institutional Shares, base fees are payable to the Transfer Agent at an annual rate of 0.16 percent of the average daily total net asset value of each such class, and with respect to R6 Shares, base fees payable at an annual rate of 0.01 percent of the average daily total net asset value of R6 Shares. The Transfer Agent also is entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
The Transfer Agent has contractually agreed to waive such portion of the base fees that it would otherwise receive for serving as the transfer agent such that the aggregate transfer agent fee with respect to Institutional Shares would be calculated using an annual rate of 0.04 percent of that Fund’s net assets attributable to Institutional Shares, these waivers are effective as follows:
March 31, 2017 through July 31, 2026 for Small Cap, Foreign Value, Foreign Value Small Cap.
June 1, 2017 through July 31, 2026 for Quality.
January 1, 2019 through July 31, 2026 for International Opportunities.
September 1, 2021 through July 31, 2026 for Environmental Opportunities.
Prior to July 31, 2026 these arrangements only may be terminated by the Trustees in their sole discretion.
During the year ended March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of transfer agent fees paid by the Funds, inclusive of fee waivers, were $1,577,431, as disclosed on the Statement of Operations.
Fund Administration Fees
Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Manager provides certain administrative services to the Funds. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of fees paid by all Funds pursuant to this agreement was $802,001, as disclosed on the Statement of Operations.
The Trustees have approved reimbursement to the Manager for a percentage of the compensation (including benefits) paid by the Manager to the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Trust reimbursed the Manager a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s compensation in the aggregate amount of $305,256.
Custody and Fund Accounting
UMB Fund Services, LLC serves as a fund administrator of each Fund. UMB Bank, n.a., serves as the custodian of each Fund’s assets.
To the knowledge of the Trust, neither UMB Fund Services, LLC nor UMB Bank n.a. is affiliated with the Manager, any Sub-Adviser, or the Distributor. Custody credits generated by interest earned on un-invested cash balances maintained by the Funds are used to offset custodial expenses of the Funds. For the year ended March 31, 2026, there were no custody credits.

Trustees’ Fees
For the year ended March 31, 2026, each Trustee who was not an “interested person” of the Trust, each, an “Independent Trustee”, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, received a fee for serving in that role in the aggregate amount of $57,000, and each of the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Lead Independent Trustee received additional fees for such period in the aggregate amount of $3,000. All fees paid to the Trustees were allocated among the Funds in proportion to their respective net assets. Compensation for the services of the Trustee who was an interested person of the Trust during that period was paid by the Manager
4. Purchases and Sales
During the year ended March 31, 2026, purchases of investment securities, other than U.S. Government obligations and short-term investments for Small Cap, Quality, Environmental Opportunities, Foreign Value, Foreign Value Small Cap, and International Opportunities, were $33,832,187, $166,766,252, $15,871,204, $469,740,834, $182,175,685, and $30,073,281, respectively. Sales of such securities for the Funds were $42,085,468, $247,784,850, $32,777,118, $1,728,833,471, $429,208,269, and $34,206,689, respectively.
5. Contingent Liability
For the period April 1, 2023 to July 31, 2023, the Trust maintained a joint fidelity bond with the Funds’ Transfer Agent through ICI Mutual Insurance Company (“ICI Mutual”). The annual premium for that policy was allocated among the Funds and the Transfer Agent. Additionally, the Funds had committed $54,174 in cash (i.e., “reserve premium”) to ICI Mutual, with each Fund’s pro rata portion recorded as an asset. Such reserve premium was held by ICI Mutual. This reserve premium will be refunded by August 1, 2028.
Beginning August 1, 2023, the Trust has maintained a joint fidelity bond with the Transfer Agent through Hartford Fire Insurance Company. The annual premium for that policy currently is allocated among the Funds and the Transfer Agent.
6. Concentration of Risk
The relatively large investments from time to time of Foreign Value, Foreign Value Small Cap, and International Opportunities in countries with limited or developing capital markets may involve greater risks than investments in more developed markets, and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of each Fund’s investments and the income they generate, as well as each Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.
7. Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of the Funds to distribute all of their taxable income within the prescribed time and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

The tax components of capital shown in the following tables represent: (1) losses or deductions the portfolios may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years, (2) distribution requirements the portfolios must satisfy under the income tax regulations, and (3) unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes.
Certain Funds had capital loss carryovers at March 31, 2026. The accumulated capital losses noted in the table may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions.

*International Opportunities Fund’s acquired losses are subject to an annual IRC section 382 limit of $766,783.
Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by the tax authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions, and it has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2023-2025, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2026 tax returns. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Massachusetts State; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits with respect to any Fund will change materially in the next twelve months.
The primary differences between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of investments consist of wash sale loss deferrals, return of capital distributions by real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), mark-to-market valuation on passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”) held and foreign capital gains taxes accrued.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on a Fund’s net assets or a Fund’s net asset value per share. For the year ended March 31, 2026, permanent differences in book and tax accounting have been reclassified to shares of beneficial interest and distributable earnings for the Small Cap, Quality, Environmental Opportunities, Foreign Value, Foreign Value Small Cap and International Opportunities Funds for $0, $0, $36,650, $0, $0 and $0, respectively.
Permanent differences primarily related to net operating losses, return of capital distributions by real estate investment trusts (REITs) and non-REIT securities, foreign currency reclasses, adjustments for sale of shares in passive foreign investment corporations (PFICs), re-designations of distributions and foreign and capital gains tax reclass.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ 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 Funds 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 have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2007.
82
PEAR TREE FUNDS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (continued)
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
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 March 31, 2026 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.
