NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Elevation Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on March 7, 2022, as a Delaware statutory trust, and is authorized to issue multiple investment series. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. These financial statements relate to two series of the Trust, SRH REIT Covered Call ETF and SRH U.S. Quality GARP ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). SRH REIT Covered Call ETF’s investment objective is to provide total return. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) that are publicly traded on domestic stock exchanges. In addition, the Fund strategically implements an option strategy consisting of writing (selling) U.S. exchange-traded covered call options on the REITs in the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund commenced operations on November 1, 2023 and is a non-diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. SRH U.S. Quality GARP ETF’s investment objective is to provide investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to the SRH U.S. Quality GARP Index (the “Index”). The Index is intended to capture the performance of U.S. companies that exhibit consistent and moderate revenue growth but do not trade at excessive valuations. The creator of the Index, SRH Advisors, LLC (“SRH”), has designed the Index to provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of U.S. companies featuring value, growth, and quality characteristics while maintaining overall market exposure close to that of widely followed, broad-based U.S. equity benchmarks. The Fund commenced operations on October 4, 2022 and is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act.
The Funds currently offer an unlimited number of one class of shares, without par value, which are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). The Funds issue and redeem shares only in creation units (“Creation Units”) which are offered on a continuous basis through Paralel Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”), without a sales load (but subject to transaction fees, if applicable), at the net asset value (“NAV”) per share next determined after receipt of an order in proper form pursuant to the terms of the Authorized Participant Agreement, calculated as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business. The Funds do not issue fractional Creation Units. The offerings of the Funds’ shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Funds adopted FASB Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). An operating segment is a component of a Fund that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Funds’ 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 Portfolio Manager acts as the Funds’ CODM. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within the Funds’ financial statements.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies,” including FASB Accounting Standard Update 2013-08.
During the period ended April 30, 2026, the Funds adopted FASB Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”).The amendments enhanced income tax disclosures by requiring greater disaggregation in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction, while removing certain disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 had no material impact to the Funds financial statements during the period.
Portfolio Valuation: The NAV of the Funds is determined no less frequently than daily, on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The NAV is determined by dividing the value of the Funds’ total assets less its liabilities by the number of shares outstanding.
Domestic equity securities traded on any exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last sale price on the business day. If there has been no sale that business day, the securities are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and ask prices on the business day. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price as determined by NASDAQ. Portfolio securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day. Portfolio securities traded in the over-the-counter market, but excluding NASDAQ, are valued at the last quoted sale price in such market. Options are valued at the mean of the highest bid and lowest ask prices on the principal exchange on which the option trades. If no quotations are available, fair value procedures will be used. Debt obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost.
Investments in money market funds, including short term investments, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the Funds. These securities will be categorized as level 1 securities.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which Paralel Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) determines that prices received are unreliable, are valued at fair value according to procedures established and adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee with respect to the fair valuation of each Fund’s portfolio securities, subject to oversight by and periodic reporting to the Board.
The Funds disclose the classification of their fair value measurements following a three-tier hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments as of the end of the reporting period. When inputs used fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
13
SRH Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2026 (Continued) (Unaudited)
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments in the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2026:

| (a) | For detailed descriptions and other security classifications, see the accompanying Schedule of Investments. |
| (b) | Other financial instruments are derivative instruments reflected in the Schedule of Investments. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents may include demand deposits and highly liquid investments, typically with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded as of the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign securities when the information becomes available to the Funds. Certain dividend income from foreign securities will be recorded, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date and may be subject to withholding taxes in these jurisdictions. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis using the effective yield method.
REITs: The SRH REIT Covered Call ETF may invest in REITs and is subject to certain risks associated with those investments. The value of investments in REIT shares may decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry and real property values. Real estate values can be affected by a variety of factors, including supply and demand for properties, the economic health of the country or of different regions, and the strength of specific industries that rent properties. Also, qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in any particular year is a complex analysis that depends on a number of factors. There can be no assurance that an entity in which the Fund invests with the expectation that it will be taxed as a REIT will, in fact, qualify as a REIT. An entity that fails to qualify as a REIT would be subject to a corporate level tax, would not be entitled to a deduction for dividends paid to its shareholders and would not pass through to its shareholders the character of income earned by the entity.
Distributions received by the Fund from REITs may consist of dividends, capital gains and/or return of capital. Dividend income from REITs is recognized on the ex-dividend date. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Fund’s investments in REITs are reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year, and the Fund estimates these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available.
Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income of the Funds, if any, are declared and paid monthly for SRH REIT Covered Call ETF and quarterly for SRH U.S. Quality GARP ETF, or as the Board may determine from time to time. Distributions of net realized capital gains earned by the Funds, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
Federal Income Tax: For federal income tax purposes, the Funds currently intend to qualify, as regulated investment companies under the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by distributing substantially all of their earnings to their stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined and characterized in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund as a whole.

SRH Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2026 (Continued) (Unaudited)
As of and during the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Funds did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses, in the Statements of Operations. As of April 30, 2026, there were no interest or penalties incurred by the Funds. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. There are no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
NOTE 3 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As a part of SRH REIT Covered Call ETF’s investment strategy, the Fund may invest to a lesser extent in derivatives contracts. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent in derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity or debt securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.
Risk of Investing in Derivatives: The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected, resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.
Associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.
Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell or close out the derivative in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. In addition, use of derivatives may increase or decrease exposure to the following risk factors:
Equity Risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.
Option Contracts: The Fund may enter into options transactions for hedging purposes and for non-hedging purposes such as seeking to enhance return. The Fund may write U.S. exchange-traded covered call options on REITs held by the Fund. A call option on an asset written by the Fund obligates the Fund to sell the specified asset to the holder (purchaser) at a stated price (the exercise price) if the option is exercised before a specified date (the expiration date). Premiums received when writing options are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options, which are either exercised or closed, are offset against the proceeds received or amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses.
As of April 30, 2026, the effects of derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities were as follows:

The Funds currently offer an unlimited number of one class of shares, without par value, which are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe” or the “Exchange”). The Funds issue and redeem shares only in creation units (“Creation Units”) which are offered on a continuous basis through Paralel Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”), without a sales load (but subject to transaction fees, if applicable), at the net asset value per share next determined after receipt of an order in proper form pursuant to the terms of the Authorized Participant Agreement, calculated as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business. The Funds do not issue fractional Creation Units. The offerings of the Funds’ shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Funds adopted FASB Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). An operating segment is a component of a Fund that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Fund’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 Operations & Risk Committee of the Adviser acts as the Funds’ CODM. Each Fund is considered an operating segment, and their performance and operating results are reviewed to make informed decisions regarding performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within the Funds’ financial statements.
TrueShares PAYM Cayman LTD and TrueShares PAYH Cayman LTD are organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and are wholly owned subsidiaries of TrueShares S&P Autocallable Defensive Income ETF and TrueShares S&P Autocallable High Income ETF, respectively. Neither TrueShares PAYM Cayman LTD or TrueShares PAYH Cayman LTD had any operations during the period ended April 30, 2026.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States (“GAAP”). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies,” including FASB Accounting Standard Update 2013-08.”
During the period ended April 30, 2026, the Funds adopted FASB Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments enhanced income tax disclosures by requiring greater disaggregation in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction, while removing certain disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 had no material impact to the Funds financial statements during the period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2026 (Continued) (Unaudited)
Portfolio Valuation: The net asset value per share (“NAV”) of the Funds is determined no less frequently than daily, on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The NAV is determined by dividing the value of each Funds’ total assets less its liabilities by the number of shares outstanding.
Equity securities, including exchange traded funds, are valued at the last reported official closing or last trading price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation. Exchange traded funds listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price.
U.S. government bonds and notes are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices on the business day. Options are valued at the mean of the highest bid and lowest ask prices on the principal exchange on which the option trades. If no quotations are available, fair value procedures will be used. Debt obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. In certain countries market maker prices are used since they are the most representative of the daily trading activity. Market maker prices are usually the mean between the bid and ask prices. Certain markets are not closed at the time that the Funds price their portfolio securities. In these situations, snapshot prices are provided by the individual pricing services or other alternate sources at the close of the NYSE as appropriate. Securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and the asked quotes, or the last sale price when appropriate; otherwise fair value will be determined.
Investments in money market funds, including short-term investments, are generally prices at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as level 1 securities.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which TrueMark Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”) determines that prices received are unreliable, are valued at fair value according to procedures established and adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the Funds’ valuation designee with respect to the fair valuation of the Funds’ portfolio securities, subject to oversight by and periodic reporting to the Board.
The Funds disclose the classification of their fair value measurements following a three-tier hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments as of the end of the reporting period. When inputs used fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments in the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2026:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2026 (Continued) (Unaudited)
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents may include demand deposits and highly liquid investments, typically with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded as of the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign securities when the information becomes available to a Fund. Certain dividend income from foreign securities will be recorded, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date and may be subject to withholding taxes in these jurisdictions. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis using the effective yield method.
Foreign Securities: The Funds may invest a portion of its assets in foreign securities. In the event that a Fund executes a foreign security transaction, the Fund will generally enter into a foreign currency spot contract to settle the foreign security transaction. Foreign securities may carry more risk than U.S. securities, such as political, market and currency risks.
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange at period end. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at market close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held.
A foreign currency spot contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Funds may enter into foreign currency spot contracts to settle specific purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate fluctuation. Risks to a Fund include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.
Distributions to Shareholders: PVEX, ONEH, QBER, QBUL and ONEZ generally pay out dividends from net investment income, if any, at least annually. IDVZ, PAYH and PAYM intend to pay out dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly. All Funds will declare and pay capital gain distributions, if any, in cash at least annually. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with Federal tax requirements.
Federal Income Tax: For federal income tax purposes, the Funds currently intend to qualify, as regulated investment companies under the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by distributing substantially all of their earnings to their stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined and characterized in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund as a whole.
As of and during the periods ended April 30, 2026, the Funds did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses, in the Statements of Operations. As of April 30, 2026, there were no interest or penalties incurred by the Funds. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. There are no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
NOTE 3 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As a part of their investment strategy, the Funds may invest to a lesser extent in derivatives contracts. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent in derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity or debt securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.
Risk of Investing in Derivatives: The Funds’ use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Funds are using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Funds, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected, resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allow the Funds to increase their market value exposure relative to their net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Funds’ performance.
Associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that a Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.
Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell or close out the derivative in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. In addition, use of derivatives may increase or decrease exposure to the following risk factors:
Equity Risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Bullet Swaps: ONEH, PAYM, and PAYH may enter into bullet total return swap contracts (“bullet swaps”). The Funds may utilize swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to the securities in a market without actually purchasing those securities, or to hedge a position. A swap agreement is a contract in which one party agrees to make a payment to another party based on the change in market value of the assets underlying the contract, which may include a specified security, basket of securities, or securities indices during the specified period. Swap agreements will usually be done on a net basis, i.e., where the two parties make net payments with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund’s obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily bases and an amount of cash or equivalents having an aggregate value at least equal to the accrued excess is maintained by the Fund. In the case of bullet swaps, the net settlement of the total return and financing legs will generally be paid or received at the contract termination date rather than periodically.
Option Writing/Purchasing: Each Fund may purchase or write (sell) put and call options. One of the risks associated with purchasing an option among others, is that a Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, a Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid. Each Fund is obligated to pay interest to the broker for any debit balance of the margin account relating to options. Each Fund pledges cash or liquid assets as collateral to satisfy the current obligations with respect to written options. The cash amount, if any, is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposit with broker for written options, which is held with one counterparty. The interest incurred, if any, on the Funds is reported on the Statements of Operations as Interest expense – margin account. Interest amounts payable by the Funds, if any, are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Interest payable – margin account.
When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by a Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is recorded as a realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether a Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by a Fund. Each Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

NOTE 9 - INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Trust and/or Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Additionally, the Declaration of Trust provides that the Trust shall indemnify each person who is, or has been, a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, however, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 29, 2026, Polen International Dividend Income ETF paid a distribution of $0.12000 per share to shareholders of record on May 28, 2026.
On June 1, 2026, TrueShares S&P Autocallable Defensive Income ETF and TrueShares S&P Autocallable High Income ETF paid out distributions of $0.21283 and $0.36350 per share, respectively, to shareholders of records on May 29, 2026.
Effective May 29, 2026, the interim advisory agreement (the “Interim Agreement”) entered into by and between the Trust, on behalf of QBER, and the Adviser expired before shareholders of QBER approved a new advisory agreement (the “New Agreement”). In order to protect the interests of QBER shareholders and support the continued orderly operation of QBER, the Adviser entered into an agreement with the Trust, on behalf of QBER, pursuant to which the Adviser agreed to continue managing the assets of QBER for no compensation until the earliest of shareholder approval of the New Agreement, liquidation of QBER, or resignation of the Adviser. Effective June 17, 2026, shareholders of QBER approved the New Agreement. As a result, the agreement under which the Adviser continued to manage the assets of QBER for no compensation was terminated as of that date and the New Agreement became effective. Management is evaluating the impact to QBER’s financial statements as a result of the Adviser forfeiting any compensation for managing QBER.
On March 18, 2026, the Board of Trustees approved a Plan of Reorganization wherein net assets of Polen International Dividend Income ETF (the “Target Fund”) would be acquired by Polen International Dividend Income ETF, a series of RBB Fund Trust (the “Acquiring Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund of equal value, and the Target Fund would be liquidated and dissolved. Subject to shareholder approval of the reorganization, the Adviser will no longer serve as the Acquiring Fund’s investment adviser. The Target Fund’s sub-adviser, Opal Capital LLC, will serve as the Acquiring Fund’s investment adviser, and Polen Capital Management LLC will serve as the Acquiring Fund’s sub-adviser. A meeting of the shareholders of the Target Fund has been scheduled for July 24, 2026, to vote on approving the reorganization, which is anticipated to occur on or around August 17, 2026.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Elevation Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on March 7, 2022, as a Delaware statutory trust, and is authorized to issue multiple investment series. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. These financial statements relate to two series of the Trust, Clough Hedged Equity ETF (“CBLS”) and Clough Select Equity ETF (“CBSE”) (each an “ETF” and collectively the “ETFs”). Each ETF is diversified within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
The ETFs both commenced operations on November 11, 2020, as series of Listed Funds Trust (the “Predecessor ETFs”). On October 21, 2024, the Board of Trustees of Listed Funds Trust approved a tax-free reorganization wherein all of the assets and liabilities of each Predecessor ETF were acquired by its respective ETF. In connection with this acquisition, as of the close of business on January 17, 2025, shares of each Predecessor ETF were exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of the corresponding ETF. CBLS’s and CBSE’s net assets of $45,438,437 and $23,422,377, respectively, net asset value (“NAV”) per share of $28.05 and $35.49, respectively, shares outstanding of 1,620,000 and 660,000, respectively, net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of $3,900,718 and $2,221,576, respectively, and the results of operations of the ETFs were unchanged from that of the Predecessor ETFs as a result of the reorganization. The Predecessor ETFs had investment objectives that were, in all material respects, the same as those of the ETFs as described below. The ETFs are a continuation of the Predecessor ETFs, and therefore, the performance and financial history of the Predecessor ETFs have been adopted by the ETFs and will be used going forward. As a result, the information in these financial statements and notes to the financial statements for the periods prior to the close of business on January 17, 2025, reflects that of the Predecessor ETFs, which ceased operations as of the date of the reorganization.
CBLS seeks long-term capital appreciation while minimizing volatility as its investment objective. CBLS is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by purchasing securities Clough Capital Partners L.P. (“Clough Capital” or the “Adviser”), the ETF’s investment adviser, believes have above-average financial characteristics, are undervalued, or have growth potential, and by taking short positions in securities the Adviser believes will decline in price. The ETF will generally have net long exposure of between 30%-70% of net assets. CBSE seeks capital appreciation and lower volatility than the broader market as its investment objective. CBSE is an actively managed ETF that seeks to achieve its investment objective by purchasing securities the Adviser believes have above-average financial characteristics, are undervalued, or have growth potential.
The ETFs currently offer an unlimited number of one class of shares, without par value, which are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”).
The ETFs adopted FASB Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). An operating segment is a component of an ETF that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the ETFs’ 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 Portfolio Manager acts as the ETFs’ CODM. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within the ETFs’ financial statements.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the ETFs in the preparation of their financial statements. The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each ETF is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, including FASB Accounting Standard update 2013-08.
During the period ended April 30, 2026, the Funds adopted FASB Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”).The amendments enhanced income tax disclosures by requiring greater disaggregation in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction, while removing certain disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 had no material impact to the Funds financial statements during the period.
Portfolio Valuation: The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each ETF is determined no less frequently than daily, on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE” or the “Exchange”) is open for trading, as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. New York time). Trading may take place in foreign issues held by the ETF at times when the ETFs are not open for business. As a result, each ETF’s NAV may change at times when it is not possible to purchase or sell shares of that ETF.
Securities and securities sold short, held by each ETF, for which exchange quotations are readily available, are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price or if traded on the over-the-counter market, at the mean of the bid and asked prices on such day. Money market funds are valued based on the closing NAV. Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. In certain countries market maker prices are used since they are the most representative of the daily trading activity. Market maker prices are usually the mean between the bid and ask prices. Certain markets are not closed at the time that the ETFs price their portfolio securities. In these situations, snapshot prices are provided by the individual pricing services or other alternate sources at the close of the NYSE as appropriate. Securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and the asked quotes, or the last sale price when appropriate; otherwise fair value will be determined by the Board-appointed fair valuation designee.
Investments in money market funds, including short-term investments, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as level 1 securities.
If the price of a security is unavailable, or the price of a security is unreliable, e.g., due to the occurrence of a significant event, the security may be valued at its fair value determined by the valuation designee. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee with respect to the fair valuation of each ETF’s portfolio securities, subject to oversight by and periodic reporting to the Board. For this purpose, fair value is the price that an ETF reasonably expects to receive on a current sale of the security. Due to the number of variables affecting the price of a security, however; it is possible that the fair value of a security may not accurately reflect the price that an ETF could actually receive on a sale of the security.

Clough Capital ETFs
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2026 (Continued) (Unaudited)
A three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the ETF’s investments as of the end of the reporting period. When inputs used fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the ETFs have the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the ETFs’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The following is a summary of the ETFs’ investments in the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2026:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents may include demand deposits and highly liquid investments, typically with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Foreign Securities: Each ETF may invest a portion of its assets in foreign securities. In the event that an ETF executes a foreign security transaction, the ETF will generally enter into a foreign currency spot contract to settle the foreign security transaction. Foreign securities may carry more risk than U.S. securities, such as political, market and currency risks.
The accounting records of each ETF are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange at period end. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at market close, the ETFs do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held.
A foreign currency spot contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. Each ETF may enter into foreign currency spot contracts to settle specific purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate fluctuation. Risks to an ETF include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.
Exchange Traded Funds: Each ETF may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), which are funds whose shares are traded on a national exchange. ETFs may be based on underlying equity or fixed income securities, as well as commodities or currencies. ETFs do not sell individual shares directly to investors and only issue their shares in large blocks known as “creation units.” The investor purchasing a creation unit then sells the individual shares on a secondary market. Although similar diversification benefits may be achieved through an investment in another investment company, ETFs generally offer greater liquidity and lower expenses.
Because an ETF incurs its own fees and expenses, shareholders of a fund investing in an ETF will indirectly bear those costs. Such funds will also incur brokerage commissions and related charges when purchasing or selling shares of an ETF. Unlike typical investment company shares, which are valued once daily, shares in an ETF may be purchased or sold on a securities exchange throughout the trading day at market prices that are generally close to the NAV of the ETF.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2026 (Continued) (Unaudited)
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded as of the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign securities when the information becomes available to the ETF. Certain dividend income from foreign securities will be recorded, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, as soon as the ETFs are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date and may be subject to withholding taxes in these jurisdictions. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the ETF’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis using the effective yield method.
Distributions to Shareholders: Each ETF intends to pay out dividends in cash, if any, and distribute any net realized capital gains to its shareholders at least annually.
Federal Income Tax: For federal income tax purposes, each ETF intends to qualify each year for treatment as a regulated investment company under the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by distributing substantially all of the ETFs’ earnings to their stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined and characterized in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each ETF, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each ETF as a whole.
As of and during the six months ended April 30, 2026, the ETFs did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The ETFs recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses, in the Statements of Operations. As of April 30, 2026, there were no interest or penalties incurred by the ETFs. The ETFs file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The ETFs’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. There are no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
Short Sales: CBLS engages in short sales and CBSE may engage in short sales. Short sales are transactions in which a fund sells an instrument it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that instrument. To complete a short sale transaction, a fund must borrow the instrument to make delivery to the buyer. A fund then is obligated to replace the instrument borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the instrument was sold by a fund. Until the instrument is replaced, a fund is required to pay to the lender amounts equal to any interest or dividends which accrue during the period of the loan. To borrow the instrument, a fund also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the instrument sold. There will also be other costs associated with short sales.
Dividends declared on open short positions are recorded on ex-date and shown as an expense for financial reporting purposes. To borrow the security, a fund also may be required to pay fees, which is shown as an expense for financial reporting purposes.
A fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the instrument increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which a fund replaces the borrowed instrument. Unlike taking a long position in an instrument by purchasing the instrument, where potential losses are limited to the purchase price, short sales have unlimited potential losses. A fund will realize a gain if the instrument declines in price between the date of the short sale and the date on which a fund replaces the borrowed instrument. This result is the opposite of what one would expect from a cash purchase of a long position in an instrument. Gains or losses from closed positions of securities sold short are presented as net realized gain or loss on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations.
Until a fund replaces a borrowed instrument in connection with a short sale, a fund will (a) designate on its records as collateral cash or liquid assets at such a level that the designated assets plus any amount deposited with the broker as collateral will equal the current value of the instrument sold short or (b) otherwise cover its short position in accordance with applicable law. The amount designated on a fund’s records will be marked to market daily. This may limit a fund’s investment flexibility, as well as its ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.
There is no guarantee that a fund will be able to close out a short position at any particular time or at an acceptable price. During the time that a fund is short an instrument, it is subject to the risk that the lender of the instrument will terminate the loan at a time when a fund is unable to borrow the same instrument from another lender. If that occurs, a fund may be “bought in” at the price required to purchase the instrument needed to close out the short position, which may be a disadvantageous price. Thus, there is a risk that a fund may be unable to fully implement its investment strategy due to a lack of available instruments or for some other reason. It is possible that the market value of the instruments a fund holds in long positions will decline at the same time that the market value of the instruments a fund has sold short increases, thereby increasing a fund’s potential volatility. Short sales also involve other costs. A fund must normally repay to the lender an amount equal to any dividends or interest that accrues while the loan is outstanding. In addition, to borrow the instrument, a fund may be required to pay a premium. A fund also will incur transaction costs in effecting short sales. The amount of any ultimate gain for a fund resulting from a short sale will be decreased, and the amount of any ultimate loss will be increased, by the amount of premiums, dividends, interest or expenses a fund may be required to pay in connection with the short sale.
As of April 30, 2026, CBLS had cash on deposit with broker for securities sold short of $23,443,891 and securities held as collateral in the amount of $13,207,218.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, each ETF pays the Adviser a Unitary Management Fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.35% of CBLS’s average daily net assets and at an annual rate of 0.85% of CBSE’s average daily net assets. Out of the Unitary Management Fees, the Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all of the expenses of the ETFs, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, trustees and other non-distribution related services necessary for the ETFs to operate, except for: the fees paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes and related services, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, any distribution fees and expenses paid by an ETF under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and litigation expenses and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses.

TrueShares Equity Hedge ETF (“ONEH”) Advisory Agreement Approval
At a meeting held on December 10, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Elevation Series Trust (the “Trust”) considered the approval of an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and TrueMark Investments, LLC (“TMI”) on behalf of TrueShares Equity Hedge ETF (“ONEH” or the “Fund”).
The Board was assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the Advisory Agreement review process. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The Board’s conclusions were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee might have afforded different weights to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the approval of the Advisory Agreement.
ONEH Advisory Agreement
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the TMI Advisory Agreement, noting that TMI would provide a full range of services to ONEH including, but not limited to, portfolio management, management of vendor relationships, interactions with the Trust, as well as portfolio compliance and trading. The Board acknowledged that the services to be provided under the TMI Advisory Agreement were substantially identical to those provided by TMI under advisory agreements for other funds in the Trust. The Board noted the depth of TMI’s management of other registered funds, including a suite of 25 ETFs listed on the NYSE, Cboe and NASDAQ exchanges, and that TMI managed over $1.25 billion of total assets. The Board reviewed TMI’s best execution practices and its process for evaluating broker-dealers to ensure best execution. In examining the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services to be provided by TMI, the Trustees considered the qualifications, experience and capabilities of TMI’s management team and other personnel.
The Board noted that it had received TMI’s written responses to a detailed series of questions, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of the firm’s key personnel, the firm’s compliance program, and the services proposed to be provided by TMI. The Board considered the potential impact of the change in control of TMI (the “Transaction”), discussed at prior meetings, on the services to be provided by TMI, noting, based on representations from management and information provided by legal counsel, the impact of the Transaction on TMI’s financial condition, operational capabilities, and investment expertise, and how these factors were expected to reinforce the extent and quality of services available to the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the services to be provided by TMI as the investment adviser to ONEH would be of high quality, appropriate and sufficient to support the approval of the TMI Advisory Agreement.
Performance. The Board noted that since the Fund had not yet commenced operations, no performance information was available. The Board acknowledged that the proposed investment strategy for ONEH was primarily an equity hedge and therefore would generally underperform the S&P 500 during periods of positive returns. The Board also reviewed the performance of the other funds for which TMI served as adviser. Based on the foregoing, Trustees concluded that TMI could be expected to provide reasonable returns consistent with ONEH’s stated objective and strategy.
Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed the management fee payable for ONEH under the TMI Advisory Agreement, noting that it was proposed as a “unitary fee” under which TMI would pay all expenses of the Fund except for the management fee and certain other costs such as interest, brokerage, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses. Accordingly, the Board agreed that a comparison of the Fund's unitary management fee to the total expense ratio of the respective FUSE Peer Group was appropriate.
The Board observed that ONEH’s proposed management fees were equal to the FUSE Peer Group average, slightly higher than the median, and well within the range of reasonable fees of the FUSE Peer Group. Finally, the Board observed that ONEH’s proposed management fees were similar to other ETFs, managed by TMI, under the Trust. The Board agreed that the fees appeared commensurate with the expertise required to implement ONEH’s strategy. The Board concluded that the proposed unitary management fees for ONEH was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale and Profitability. The Board evaluated the compensation and benefits to be received by TMI from its relationship with ONEH and reviewed an analysis of TMI’s projected profitability with respect to the work to be completed for ONEH. In their discussion, the Board considered the range of what might reasonably be believed to be a fair entrepreneurial profit. The Board discussed TMI’s method of allocating certain expenses and the range of estimated profits when using the various methods of allocating expenses that were common practice in the industry. Overall, the Board concluded that the profit estimates represented a fair entrepreneurial profit. The Board also noted that, because ONEH had not yet commenced operations, the impact of economies of scale could not be presently assessed. The Trustees agreed that, should assets of ONEH grow and create opportunities for breakpoints in the future, it would revisit this issue at that time.
Conclusion. The Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded, based on their consideration of the foregoing and their evaluation of all information reviewed by the Trustees, that approval of the TMI Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of ONEH and their future shareholders.
