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

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The Grant Park Multi Alternative Strategies Fund (“GPMASF”) and the Grant Park Dynamic Allocation Fund (“GPDAF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are each diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 19, 2005, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies. Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide positive absolute returns. GPMASF and GPDAF commenced operations on December 31, 2013 and December 27, 2024, respectively.

 

GPMASF offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class N. Class C, I, and N shares are offered at net asset value. GPDAF offers two classes of shares, Class A, and Class I. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. The Funds’ Class A shares are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Funds and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. Each class of shares of the Funds 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 of such Fund. Class specific expenses are allocated to that share class.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their consolidated financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

 

Operating Segments – 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 managers 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.

 

Accounting Pronouncement – The Funds adopted the FASB ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, 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 Funds’ adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

 

Security 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. 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. Options contracts listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on the day of valuation. Option contracts not listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Index options shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices 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 (“Board”) based on methods which 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. 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 NYSE close. 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”. The Funds 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 Funds’ holding. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end and closed-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

The Funds 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.

 

Fair Valuation Process – The 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 ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask 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.

 

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of the hierarchy 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 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 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.

GPMAS commenced operations on December 31, 2013. GPDAF commenced operations on December 27, 2024.

 

A summary of the Funds’ investments in GPMAS and GPDA are as follows:

 

    GPMAS Fund Limited (GPMAS)         GPDA Fund Limited (GPDA)  
    March 31, 2026         March 31, 2026  
Fair Value of GPMAS   $ 64,759,963     Fair Value of GPMAS   $ 6,375,098  
Other Assets   $     Other Assets   $  
Total Net Assets   $ 64,759,963     Total Net Assets   $ 6,375,098  
Percentage of the Fund’s Total Net Assets     20.3   Percentage of the Fund’s Total Net Assets     9.6

 

For tax purposes, GPMAS and GPDAF are exempted Cayman investment companies. GPMAS and GPDAF 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, GPMAS and GPDAF are controlled foreign corporations which generate and are allocated no income which is considered effectively connected with U.S. trade or business and as such are not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned controlled foreign corporation, GPMAS’s and GPDAF’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Fund’s investment company taxable income.

 

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. 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.

 

Futures Contracts – The Funds are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to hedge against market risk and to reduce return volatility. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts as presented in deposit at broker for futures contracts in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund’s agent in acquiring the futures position). 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, the Funds recognize a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Funds basis in the contract. If the Funds are unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Funds 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. The Funds segregate liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds because futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

 

The derivative instruments outstanding as of March 31 2026 as disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and the amounts of net realized gain and losses and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Funds.

 

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. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased to the earlier of the call date or the

maturity of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. The difference between the cost and fair value of open investments is reflected as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and any change in that amount from the prior period is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Short Sales – The Funds may sell securities short as an outright investment strategy and to offset potential declines in long positions in similar securities. A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security it does not own or have the right to acquire (or that it owns but does not wish to deliver) in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. When the Fund makes a short sale, the broker-dealer through which the short sale is made must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the party purchasing the security. The Fund is required to make a margin deposit in connection with such short sales; the Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow particular securities and will often be obligated to pay over any dividends and accrued interest on borrowed securities. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Fund covers its short position, the Fund will incur a loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a capital gain. Any gain will be decreased, and any loss increased, by the transaction costs described above. The successful use of short selling may be adversely affected by imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the security sold short and the securities being hedged. To the extent the Fund sells securities short, it will provide collateral to the broker-dealer.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for the Funds. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are 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 reclassification. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Federal Income Taxes – The Funds intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its 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 reviewed the tax positions taken by GPMASF on returns filed for open tax years 2023 to 2025 or expected to be taken in the Funds’ September 30, 2026 year-end tax return. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds makes significant investments; however 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Generally, tax authorities can examine tax returns filed for the last three years.

 

Expenses – 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 (as determined by the Board), 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 risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

 

3. PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

 

Management Risk – The advisor’s judgements regarding the attractiveness of investing in certain securities and derivatives may prove incorrect and may result in significant losses to the Funds.

 

Market and Geopolitical Risk – The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Funds may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate-change or climate related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism tariffs and trade wars, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds. It is not known how long such impacts, of the significant events described above will last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact

your investment. Therefore, 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. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.

 

Credit Risk Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

 

Counterparty Risk – Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the Funds by failing to discharge an obligation. A concentration of counterparty risk exists in that the part of a Fund’s cash is held at the broker. The Funds could be unable to recover assets held at the prime broker, including assets directly traceable to the Funds, in the event of the broker’s bankruptcy. The Funds do not anticipate any material losses as a result of this concentration.

 

4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

 

The cost of purchases and proceeds from the sale and/or maturity of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. Government securities, for the six months ended March 31, 2026 amounted to:

 

Fund   Purchases     Sales  
GPMASF   $ 24,564,366     $ 57,991,060  
GPDAF     28,861,499       25,373,134  

 

5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

Dearborn Capital Management, LLC, serves as the Funds’ investment advisor (the “Advisor”). EMC Capital Advisors, LLC serves as the sub-advisor for the Funds and is paid by the Advisor, not the Funds. Richmond Quantitative Advisors, LLC serves as a sub-advisor for GPDAF and is paid by the Advisor, not the Fund.

 

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Funds and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Advisor, GPMASF and GPDAF pay the Advisor a management fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.18% and 1.23%, respectively, of the applicable Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

Pursuant to an operating expenses limitation agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, the Advisor has agreed, at least until January 31, 2027, to waive a portion of its advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse the Funds for other expenses to the extent necessary so that the total expenses incurred by the Funds (excluding any front-end or contingent deferred loads, brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example options and swap fees and expenses), borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), taxes, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses (which may include indemnification of Fund officers and trustees and contractual indemnification of Funds’ service providers, other than the Advisor)) so that the annual operating expenses of GPMASF do not exceed 1.83%, 2.58%, 1.58%, and 1.83% per annum of the GPMASF’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class N shares, respectively, and that the annual operating expenses of GPDAF do not exceed 1.83%, and 1.58% per annum of the GPDAF’s average daily net assets for Class A, and Class I shares, respectively (the “Expense Limitation”). For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Advisor earned $1,846,558 and $364,876 in management fees for the GPMASF and GPDAF, respectively.

 

With respect to the Funds, if the Advisor waives any applicable fees or reimburses any expense pursuant to the operating expenses limitation agreement, and the Funds’ operating expenses are subsequently less than the Expense Limitation, the Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Funds for such waived fees or reimbursed expenses. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Funds in future years on a rolling three-year basis (within the three years after the end of the fiscal year during which the fees were waived or reimbursed) if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits at the time of waiver or reimbursement or the then-current expense limits at the time of recoupment. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Advisor recaptured $0 of previously waived expenses and there are none available for recoupment for GPMASF. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Advisor waived expense of $78,141 for GPDAF.

 

The following amount is subject to recapture by the Advisor by the following date:

 

Fund   September 30, 2028  
GPDAF   $ 190,200

9. TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

 

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

 

For fiscal year ended 9/30/2025
    Ordinary     Long-Term     Return of        
Fund   Income     Capital Gains     Capital     Total  
Grant Park Multi Alternative Strategies Fund   $ 6,844,580     $     $     $ 6,844,580  
Grant Park Dynamic Allocation Fund                        
                                 
For fiscal year ended 9/30/2024
    Ordinary     Long-Term     Return of        
Fund   Income     Capital Gains     Capital     Total  
Grant Park Multi Alternative Strategies Fund   $ 9,139,454     $     $     $ 9,139,454  

 

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

 

    Undistributed     Undistributed     Post October Loss     Capital Loss     Other     Unrealized     Total  
    Ordinary     Long-Term     and     Carry     Book/Tax     Appreciation/     Accumulated  
Fund   Income     Capital Gains     Late Year Loss     Forwards     Differences     (Depreciation)     Earnings/(Deficits)  
Grant Park Multi Alternative Strategies Fund   $ 8,535,730     $     $     $ (39,479,718 )   $     $ 14,679,579     $ (16,264,409 )
Grant Park Dynamic Allocation Fund     2,784,965       740,868       (55,242 )                 1,170,390       4,640,981  

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis accumulated net investment income, accumulated net realized gain, and unrealized appreciation from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, foreign tax passthrough basis adjustments, and the mark-to-market on futures contracts. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency gains of $(50,499) and $(152) for the GPMASF and GPDAF respectively.

 

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 Funds incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of as follows:

 

Fund   Late Year Losses  
Grant Park Multi Alternative Strategies Fund   $  
Grant Park Dynamic Allocation Fund     55,242  

 

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

 

    Capital Loss Carry Forward  
Fund   Short-Term     Long-Term     Total     Utilized  
Grant Park Multi Alternative Strategies Fund   $ 12,994,407     $ 26,485,311     $ 39,479,718     $  
Grant Park Dynamic Allocation Fund                        

 

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to offering costs, tax adjustments for realized gain (loss) and the book/tax basis treatment, the use of tax equalization credits and accumulated losses from each Fund’s respective wholly-owned subsidiary [CFC], resulted in reclassifications for the Funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, as follows:

 

    Paid In     Accumulated  
Fund   Capital     Earnings (Losses)  
Grant Park Multi Alternative Strategies Fund   $ 9,001     $ (9,001 )
Grant Park Dynamic Allocation Fund     27,948       (27,948 )

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

 

Dearborn Capital Management L.L.C. - Adviser to Grant Park *

 

In connection with the regular meeting held on November 11-12, 2025 of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) of the Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Dearborn Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, with respect to the Grant Park Multi-Alternative Strategies Fund (the “Fund”). In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Advisory Agreement.

 

The Trustees were assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the Advisory Agreement review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Service. The Board remarked that the Adviser was founded in 1989, managed approximately $403 million in assets as of June 30, 2025, and focused on offering alternative investment strategies through public and private limited partnerships and public and private funds. The Board assessed the credentials of the key investment personnel responsible for servicing the Fund and remarked on the depth of financial industry experience with hedge funds and alternative investment products. The Board noted that the Adviser allocated assets across four distinct strategies and that strategy execution was delegated to a sub-adviser with the Adviser overseeing the investment activities. The Board recognized the Adviser’s ability to ensure the Fund strategy was executed according to the prospectus by utilizing its risk management and accounting team’s oversight, noting the teams reviewed daily trade activity, overall portfolio risk, diversification, and liquidity. The Board observed that the Adviser’s longstanding familiarity with liquid alternative investment strategies benefited shareholders. The Board concluded that the Adviser should continue to provide a high level of service to the Fund and its shareholders.

 

Performance. The Board noted the Fund had achieved its stated objective of delivering positive absolute returns. The Board examined the Fund’s performance and stated that it outperformed its category median and peer group median for the since inception, one-, three- and ten-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund significantly outperformed its Bloomberg index benchmark for the since inception period. The Board determined that the Fund provided sound performance to its shareholders.

 

Fees and Expenses. The Board stated that the advisory fee of 1.18% was below the averages of its peer group and Morningstar category, however it was slightly higher than the peer group median. The Board evaluated the Fund’s net expense ratio of 1.50% and acknowledged it was slightly higher than the averages and medians of the peer group and Morningstar category but below the Morningstar category high. The Board acknowledged the Adviser’s remarks that its expenses were impacted by the expertise required to research, create, execute, and maintain the complex trading programs employed to drive the Fund’s investment strategies, in addition to the supervision of the sub-adviser. The Board also considered the impact of the sub-advisory fee, noting that there were no performance incentive fees paid to the sub-adviser. After further review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for the Fund was not unreasonable.

 

Profitability. The Board evaluated the profitability analysis provided by the Adviser and observed that the Adviser attained a profit managing the Fund. The Board recognized the knowledge required to research, create, execute and maintain the complex trading programs that drive Fund’s strategies and the costs of on-going risk management and oversight associated with monitoring the trading strategies and determined the Adviser’s profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board contemplated whether economies of scale with respect to the Fund were attained by the Adviser. They observed the Adviser’s stance that its advisory fee was competitively priced at the Fund’s inception to provide the advantages of economies to shareholders before achieving scale. The Board stated that the Adviser was amenable to assess possible breakpoints if the Fund reached a certain level of assets. The Board noted that Fund did not have capacity limitations.

 

Conclusion. The Board requested and obtained such information from the Adviser that it believed to be reasonably required to assess the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

* Due to the timing of the contract renewal schedule, these deliberations may or may not relate to the current performance results of the Fund.

 

EMC Capital Advisors, LLC - Sub-Adviser to Grant Park Multi-Alternative Strategies Fund *

 

In connection with the regular meeting held on November 11-12, 2025 of the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of a sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Dearborn Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and EMC Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), with respect to Grant Park Multi-Alternative Strategies Fund (the “Fund”). In considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

 

The Trustees were assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the Sub-Advisory Agreement review process. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Service. The Board observed that the Sub-Adviser was a systematic global macro investment firm founded in 1988 and currently registered as a commodity trading adviser, commodity pool operator and investment adviser. They noted that the Sub-Adviser managed approximately $356 million in assets and provided a diversified portfolio of global commodities and financial instruments to institutional and private investors. The Board examined the background information of key investment personnel responsible for servicing the Fund and considered their education and financial industry experience. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser made investment decisions using a quantitative research process based on price data analysis that yielded systematic investment models across four independent sub-strategies. The Board recognized that the Sub-Adviser had independent risk processes for each of the sub-strategies and monitored compliance with the Fund’s investment limitations by incorporating trading guidelines, exposure limits, and restrictions into its trading system. They observed the Sub-Adviser’s order management system efficiently routed orders directly to futures merchants for execution and clearing of the Fund’s trades. The Board concluded that the Sub-Adviser should continue to provide a high level of quality service to the Fund and its shareholders.

 

Performance. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance, noting that the Fund had achieved its stated objective of providing positive absolute returns. The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and acknowledged that it outperformed its category median and peer group median for the since inception, one-, three- and ten-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund significantly outperformed its Bloomberg index benchmark for the since inception period. After further dialogue, the Board concluded that the Sub-Adviser had provided sound performance for the Fund and its shareholders.

 

Fees and Expenses. The Board evaluated the allocation of responsibilities between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and the fee split between the Fund’s Adviser and Sub-Adviser and observed that the Sub-Adviser received a fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets paid by the Adviser out of its advisory fee, with some concessions at lower asset levels. The Board also assessed the Fund’s sub- advisory fee compared to the Sub-Adviser’s fee for other similar accounts, acknowledging that the sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser was lower than the average fee charged by the Sub-Adviser to other clients. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee was not unreasonable.

 

Profitability. The Board considered the Sub-Adviser’s profitability analysis in connection with the sub-advisory services provided to the Fund and considered the profit levels both as a percentage of revenue and actual dollars. The Board contemplated the Sub-Adviser’s position that its profits were acceptable given the operational, regulatory, and reputational risks in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the Sub-Adviser’s profits were not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed whether there were economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and considered the relative size of the Fund. They agreed that economies of scale was primarily an adviser level issue and should be contemplated with respect to the overall advisory agreement, considering the impact of the sub-advisory expense.

 

Conclusion. The Board requested and received such information from the Sub-Adviser as they believed to be reasonably necessary to assess the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and as aided by the advice of independent counsel, the Board concluded that renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

* Due to the timing of the contract renewal schedule, these deliberations may or may not relate to the current performance results of the Fund.
