1.
ORGANIZATION
The
Tocqueville Trust (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the “1940 Act”), and organized on September 17, 1986, consisting of one fund, The Tocqueville Fund (the “Fund”).
The Fund is an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation, which
it seeks to achieve by investing primarily in securities of United States issuers. Tocqueville Asset Management L.P. is the investment
adviser to the Fund (“Tocqueville,” or the “Adviser”).
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statement.
These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
|
a)
|
Security
Valuation and Security Transactions. Investments in securities, including foreign securities,
traded on an exchange or quoted on the over-the-counter market are valued at the last sale price or, if no sale occurred during the day,
at the mean between closing bid and ask prices, as last reported by a pricing service approved by the Trustees. Securities that are principally
traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National Market (“NASDAQ”) are generally valued
at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there is no NASDAQ Official Closing Price for a NASDAQ-listed security or
sale price available for an over-the-counter security, the mean of the latest bid and asked quotations from NASDAQ will be used. When
market quotations for securities are not readily available, or when restricted securities or other assets are being valued, such assets
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under procedures approved by the Trustees. Money market funds are valued at
net asset value (“NAV”). Fixed income securities, such as corporate bonds, convertible bonds and U.S. government agency issues
are valued based on evaluated mean prices supplied by independent pricing services using matrix pricing formulas and/or independent broker
bid quotations. |
Trading
in securities on foreign securities exchanges normally is completed before the calculation of the Fund’s NAV. Trading on these foreign
exchanges may not take place on all days on which there is regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), or may
take place on days on which there is no regular trading on the NYSE. Similarly, the Fund may hold securities traded in domestic markets
where the market may close early on a given day prior to calculation of the Fund’s NAV. Events affecting the value of such securities
held by the Fund that occur between the close of trading in the security and the close of trading on the NYSE normally will not be reflected
in the Fund’s calculation of the NAV. However, significant events will be closely monitored, and where it is determined that an
adjustment should be made to the security’s value because significant interim events may materially affect the value of the security,
the security will be priced at its fair value in accordance with the procedures approved by the Trustees.
Cash
and cash equivalents may exceed federal insurance limits. Money market deposit accounts are considered cash equivalents and reflected
at cost.
Investment
transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual
basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Net realized gains and losses from sales
of securities are determined on the specific identification cost method.
|
b)
|
Restricted
and Illiquid Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale or are illiquid. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation
has not changed for a certain period of time. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and a
prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult. |
|
c)
|
Fair
Valuation Measurements. The Trust has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards
that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The
Tocqueville Trust
Notes
to Financial Statements

standards
require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, and a
discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels
listed below.
Level 1 –
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 –
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk,
etc.).
Level 3 –
Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
When
using the market quotations or closing price provided by the pricing service for equity investments—including common stocks, preferred
stocks, foreign issued common stocks, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds and real estate investment trusts—which are traded
on an exchange are valued at the last sale price reported by the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded on the day of valuation
and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. When using the mean between the latest
bid and ask price, the security will be classified as Level 2.
Investment
in mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds and will
be classified as Level 1 securities.
Fixed
income securities, such as corporate bonds, convertible bonds, commercial paper, money market deposit accounts and U.S. government agency
issues are valued based on evaluated mean prices supplied by independent pricing services using matrix pricing formulas and/or independent
broker bid quotations and are classified as Level 2.
Options
are valued at the composite last price reported by the exchange on which the options are primarily traded on the day of the valuation
and are classified as Level 1. If there is no composite last price on a given day, the mean between the latest bid and ask price will
be used. These contracts are classified as Level 2.
Any
securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith
by the Adviser in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of Trustees pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act
and may be classified as Level 3 securities. In determining fair value, the Fund will seek to assign a value to the security that
it believes represents the amount the Fund could reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. With respect to securities that are
actively traded on U.S. exchanges, the Fund expects that market quotations will generally be available and that fair value might be used
only in limited circumstances, such as when trading for a security is halted during the trading day.
In
determining whether a significant event has occurred with respect to securities traded principally in foreign markets, the Fund may engage
a third party fair value service provider to systematically recommend the adjustment of closing market prices of non-U.S. securities based
upon changes in a designated U.S. securities market index occurring from the time of close of the relevant foreign market and the close
of the NYSE. Fair value pricing may also be used to value restricted securities held by the Fund or securities with little or no trading
activity for extended periods of time. Fair value pricing involves judgments that are inherently subjective and inexact and it is not
possible to determine with certainty when, and to what extent, an event will affect a market price. As a result, there can be no assurance
that fair value pricing will reflect actual market value and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially
from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.
The
following is a summary of the inputs used, as of April 30, 2026, involving the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value.
The inputs of methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The
Trust’s valuation procedures have been adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, which has established a Valuation Committee
to oversee the valuation process. The Valuation Committee meets on an as needed basis, or at least annually to evaluate changes in the
valuation of portfolio securities. The full findings and valuations are then reviewed quarterly by the Independent Trustees. The Board
of Trustees has appointed the Adviser as valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act.
During
the period ended April 30, 2026 the Fund held $5,297,600 of investments with significant inputs that would be classified as Level 3. The
significant input was transaction cost.
Below
is a reconciliation that details the activity of securities in Level 3 during the current fiscal period:

Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Adviser may use derivative instruments, such as purchased
and written options, as a means to manage exposure to different types of risk, including market risk and exchange rate risk, and to gain
exposure to underlying securities. The Trust has adopted disclosure standards in order to enable the investor to understand how and why
an entity used derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivatives affect an entity’s results of operations and
financial position. |
In
general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell
a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price (commonly knows as the “strike price”).
When
the Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment and subsequently adjusted to
the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing
sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a purchased call or put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased
by the premium paid for the call, or in the case of a put, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the
proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Purchased options are non-income producing securities.
When
the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and subsequently adjusted to
the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing

options
that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gain from written options. The difference between the
premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized
gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a written call or put
option is exercised, the premium is added or subtracted, respectively, from the proceeds or cost basis, respectively, to the related transaction
of the underlying security. The Fund, as writers of an option, would bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the
security underlying the written option.
Derivatives
Risk
The
risks of using the types of derivatives in which the Fund may engage include: the risk that movements in the value of the derivative may
not fully offset or complement instruments currently held in the Fund in the manner intended by the Adviser; the risk that the counterparty
to a derivative contract may fail to comply with their obligations to the Fund; the risk that the derivative may not possess a liquid
secondary market at a time when the Fund would look to disengage the position; the risk that additional capital from the Fund may be called
upon to fulfill the conditions of the derivative contract; and the risk that the cost of the derivative contracts may reduce the overall
returns experienced by the Fund. The measurement of risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related offsetting
transactions are considered. The Fund may enter into written call options to hedge against changes in the value of equities. The Fund’s
option component of the overall investment strategy is often referred to as a “buy-write” strategy (also called a “covered
call” strategy), in which the Adviser (as defined below) writes (sells) a call option contract while at the same time owning an
equivalent number of shares of the underlying stock to generate moderate current income. The writing of call options is intended to reduce
the volatility of the portfolio and to earn premium income. Written call options expose the Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk since
they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearing house guarantees the options against default. As the writer of a call option
the Fund has the obligation to sell the security at the exercise price during the exercise period in the event the option is exercised.
The use of options does not create leverage in the Fund. The Fund did not transact in written options during the period ended April 30,
2026.

Foreign
Currency Translation. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange, in accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Securities Valuation
and Foreign Exchange Contracts Procedures. The Fund has engaged in transactions in securities denominated in foreign currencies and, as
a result, entered into foreign exchange transactions. The Fund is exposed to additional market risk as a result of changes in the value
of the underlying currency in relation to the U.S. dollar. Risks include the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of
their obligations. The value of foreign currencies are marked-to-market on a daily basis, which reflects the changes in the market value
of the contract at the close of each day’s trading, resulting in daily unrealized gains and/or losses. When the transactions are
settled or the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. |
The
Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the
fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are reflected as net realized and unrealized
gain or loss on investments.
Reported
net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade
and settlement dates on securities transactions, the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes
recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign
exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the end of
the fiscal period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

Shareholder
Transactions and Distributions. Shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividends
to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually by the Fund.
Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions
are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Permanent differences
between financial and tax reporting may result in reclassification to capital stock. |

|
Use
of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. |
|
h)
|
Indemnification.
In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum
exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Based on
experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote. |

i)
|
Subsequent
Events Evaluation. In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events and
transactions for potential recognition or disclosure resulting from subsequent events through the date financial statements were issued.
This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events, that necessitated disclosure and/or adjustments. |

Segment
Reporting. The Fund has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting
(Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and
did not affect the Fund’s financial position or the results of its 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 CODM
is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Fund. |
The
Fund operates as a single operating segment. The 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 the Fund, using the
information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
In
this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income
Tax Disclosures. The amendments enhance income tax disclosure requirements, including increased disaggregation of income taxes paid by
jurisdiction and tax type. The Fund did not pay any federal, state, or local income taxes during the reporting period, and adoption of
this standard did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial position or results of operations.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX
There
is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken
on the tax return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, or for any other tax years which are open for exam. As of October 31,
2025, open tax years include the tax years ended October 31, 2022 through 2024. The Trust is also not aware of any tax positions
for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next six months.
The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.
During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Provision
for federal income taxes or excise taxes has not been made since the Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as Regulated Investment Companies and intend to distribute substantially all taxable
income to shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to Regulated Investment Companies.
Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income to

for tax purposes. Additionally, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components
of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect
on net assets or NAV per share. For the year ended October 31, 2025, the following table shows the reclassifications made:
