1. ORGANIZATION

 

Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund, Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund and Counterpoint Tactical Municipal Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Fund Trust III (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on December 5, 2011. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objectives of the Funds are as follows:

 

Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund – seeks income and capital preservation.
Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund – seeks capital appreciation and preservation.
Counterpoint Tactical Municipal Fund – seeks tax-free income and capital preservation.

 

Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund and Counterpoint Tactical Municipal Fund are “fund of funds” in that each Fund will generally invest in other investment companies. Each Fund offers three classes of shares: Class A, Class C and Class I shares. Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund commenced operations on December 4, 2014. Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2015. Counterpoint Tactical Municipal Fund commenced operations on June 11, 2018. Class A shares of the Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund and Class A shares of the Counterpoint Tactical Municipal Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 4.50%. Class A shares of the Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Class C and Class I shares of each Fund are offered at net asset value. Each class of each Fund represents an interest in the same assets of that Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their distribution and sales 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. Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”, including Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

 

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 primary 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 mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Futures and future options are valued at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods that include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as “odd lots” and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as “round lots”. A Fund may fair value a particular bond if the advisor does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Fund’s holding. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
March 31, 2026
 

Valuation of Underlying Funds – Each Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “underlying funds”). Underlying open-end investment companies 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 the underlying funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, 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 investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.

 

Each Fund may hold investments, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These investments will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the advisor as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Board may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, which approval shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.

 

Segment Reporting – 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 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.

 

Fair Valuation Process – Applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid investments, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine, the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of a Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

COUNTERPOINT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of their 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 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, 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 March 31, 2026 for the Funds’ investments measured at fair value:

Security Transactions and Investment Income Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities.

 

Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities. Each Fund may purchase an ETF to gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are 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.

 

Foreign Currency Translations – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade.

 

Futures Contracts – The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. A Fund may each purchase or sell futures contracts to hedge against market risk and to reduce return volatility. During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, a Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. If a Fund was unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

35

 

COUNTERPOINT FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
March 31, 2026
 

Option Transactions – The Funds are subject to equity price risk and commodity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and each Fund may purchase or sell options to help hedge against risk. When a Fund writes a call 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 a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. 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, a Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

Each Fund 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 a 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 a 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 each Fund since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.

 

Short Sales – A “short sale” is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own but has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. Each Fund is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it on the open market at a later date. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time a Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a loss, unlimited in size. Conversely, if the price declines, a Fund will realize a gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short. Certain cash and securities are held as collateral.

 

Credit Default Swaptions – Credit default swaptions may be written or purchased to hedge exposure to the credit risk of an investment without making a commitment to the underlying instrument. A credit default swaption is an option to sell or buy credit protection on a specific reference by entering into a pre-defined swap agreement by some specified date in the future.

 

Credit Default Swaps – Certain Funds may enter into credit default swaps (“CDS”). CDS are two-party contracts that transfer credit exposure between the parties. One party (the “buyer”) receives credit protection and the other party (the “seller”) takes on credit risk. The buyer typically makes predetermined period payments to the seller in exchange for the seller’s commitment to purchase the underlying reference obligation if a defined credit event occurs, such as default, bankruptcy or failure to pay interest or principal on a reference debt instrument, with respect to a specified issuer or one of the reference issuers in a CDS portfolio. If the defined credit event occurs, the seller must pay the agreed-upon value of a reference obligation to the counterparty or perform pursuant to the agreement. The buyer must then surrender the reference obligation to the seller. As a seller of credit protection in a CDS, a Fund would be liable for the notional amount of the swap.

 

Swap Agreements – The Funds may hold equities subject to equity price risk. Each Fund may enter into various swap transactions for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, foreign exchange (currency) or credit risk. These would be 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Funds amortize upfront payments and/or accrue 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 Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap

COUNTERPOINT FUNDS

agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that that amount is positive. The fair value of these financial instruments are located under unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swaps on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The realized gain (loss) on swap contracts and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts are located on the Statements of Operations.

 

Securities Lending Risk – A Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as banks and certain broker-dealers. The Funds may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with a Fund.

 

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; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; tariffs and trade wars, climate change and climate-related events; recessions and depressions; 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 the Funds’ 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 more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected.

 

Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds will declare and pay net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require classification.

 

Federal Income Taxes – It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and 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 ended September 30, 2023 through September 30, 2025 or expected to be taken in the Funds’ September 30, 2026 tax returns.

 

Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio, and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Expenses Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses that 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.

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 Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

 

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

Counterpoint Mutual Funds, LLC (the “Advisor”) serves as investment advisor to the Funds.

7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

 

The tax character of Fund distributions paid for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 was as follows:

 

For the year ended September 30, 2025:
 
    Ordinary     Long-Term           Return of        
    Income     Capital Gains     Exempt Income     Capital     Total  
Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund   $ 100,614,283     $     $     $     $ 100,614,283

Counterpoint Tactical Municipal Fund     443,636             7,882,227             8,325,863  
                                         
For the year ended September 30, 2024:
 
    Ordinary     Long-Term           Return of        
    Income     Capital Gains     Exempt Income     Capital     Total  
Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund   $ 87,561,213     $     $     $     $ 87,561,213  
Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund     1,636,938                         1,636,938  
Counterpoint Tactical Municipal Fund     100,141             7,917,989             8,018,130  
                                         

As of September 30, 2025, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

    Undistributed     Undistributed     Undistributed     Post October Loss     Capital Loss     Other     Unrealized     Total  
    Ordinary     Ordinary     Long-Term     and     Carry     Book/Tax     Appreciation     Accumulated  
    Tax-Exempt Income     Income     Capital Gains     Late Year Loss     Forwards     Differences     (Depreciation)     Earnings/(Deficits)  
Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund   $     $ 595,912     $     $     $ (15,304,129 )   $     $ 38,532,550     $ 23,824,333  
Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund           707,702       22,561,973                         46,147,522       69,417,197  
Counterpoint Tactical Municipal Fund     116,818                         (4,808,105 )           5,835,655       1,144,368  
                                                                 

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain/(loss), and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the mark-to-market treatment on swaps, futures contracts, and passive foreign investment companies, adjustments for partnerships, C-Corporation return of capital distributions, and the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

At September 30, 2025, the Funds had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains, along with capital loss carry forwards utilized, as follows:

 

    Non-Expiring           Capital Loss Carry  
    Short-Term     Long-Term     Total     Forward Utilized  
Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund   $ 15,304,129     $       15,304,129       8,383,911  
Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund                        
Counterpoint Tactical Municipal Fund     4,808,105             4,808,105       1,479,490  
                                 

During the fiscal period ended September 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 use of tax equalization credits, and adjustments for prior year tax returns resulted in reclassification for the year ended September 30, 2025 for the Funds as follows:

 

    Paid        
    In     Accumulated  
    Capital     Earnings (Losses)  
Counterpoint Tactical Income Fund   $     $  
Counterpoint Tactical Equity Fund     3,505,812       (3,505,812 )

10. SECURITIES LENDING

 

Under an agreement (the “Securities Lending Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan, the Funds can lend their portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. The Securities Lending Agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan. Each Fund receives compensation in the form of fees. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. Each Fund continues to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the fair value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of each Fund. Each Fund has the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand. The cash collateral is held by the custodian in accordance with the custody agreement. Each Fund could experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Funds are indemnified from this risk by contract with the securities lending agent.

 

The following table sets forth the remaining contractual maturity of the collateral held by the Funds as of March 31, 2026:
