(1) Organization
Strategy Shares (the Trust) was organized on September 7, 2010 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (Shares) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. Currently, the Trust offers its Shares in fourteen separate series. The accompanying Financial Statements relate to the following series: Day Hagan Smart Sector ETF, Day Hagan Smart Sector Fixed Income ETF, Day Hagan Smart Sector International ETF, and the Day Hagan Smart Buffer ETF (individually referred to as a Fund, or collectively as the Funds). Day Hagan Smart Sector ETF and Day Hagan Smart Sector Fixed Income ETF are each classified as a diversified fund under the 1940 Act, while Day Hagan Smart Sector International ETF and Day Hagan Smart Buffer ETF are each classified as non diversified under the 1940 Act. Each Fund is an actively-managed exchange traded fund. The investment objective of the Day Hagan Smart Sector ETF and the Day Hagan Smart Buffer ETF is to seek long term capital appreciation and preservation of capital. The investment objective of the Day Hagan Smart Sector Fixed Income ETF and the Day Hagan Smart Sector International ETF is to seek total return, consisting of income and capital appreciation. The Funds prospectuses provide a description of each Funds investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholders interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.
Shares of each Fund are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (NAV). Each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares, or multiples thereof, called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit.
Effective October 1, 2025, Ashton Thomas Private Wealth, LLC d.b.a Day Hagan Asset Management is the Funds investment adviser. Accordingly, all references to the Donald L. Hagan, LLC d.a. Day Hagan Asset Management, the Funds former investment adviser, are hereby changed to Ashton Thomas Private Wealth, LLC d.b.a Day Hagan Asset Management.
Under the Trusts organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the Board) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946
Financial Services – Investment Companies including Accounting Standard Update 2013-08. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuations
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds securities. When reliable market quotations are not readily available for any security, the fair value of that security will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust has a three- tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various inputs used to determine the value of the Funds investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| ● | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
| ● | Level 2 – Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| ● | Level 3 – Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measure-ment date (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Equity securities (including foreign equity securities) traded on a securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange, except that equity securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and in the case of over-the-counter securities and options contracts, equity securities are valued at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and for all other debt securities, debt securities are valued at a price supplied by a security pricing service. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

For the year ended April 30, 2026, there were no Level 2 or Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value, nor were there any transfers into or out of Level 3 during the year.
B. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Funds is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on their current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.
C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Idle cash may be swept into various overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
D. Derivative Instruments
Options Contracts:
Purchased Options: The Funds pay a premium which is included in Investments, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. When a put option is exercised or closed, premiums paid for purchasing options are offset against proceeds to determine the realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Funds bear the risk of loss of the premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.
Written Options: The Funds receive a premium which is recorded as a liability and is 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 that are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. The risk associated with writing an option is that the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of an underlying asset and are required to buy or sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price different from the current value. As of April 30, 2026, the Funds hold deposits at brokers for written options collateral, which is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The gross notional amount of purchased and written options outstanding as of April 30, 2026, and the monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the year ended April 30, 2026, were as follows:
| Monthly | ||||||||
| Outstanding | Average | |||||||

| (a) | These are included with realized gains (losses) from investment transactions on the Statements of Operations. |
| (b) | These are included with change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the Statements of Operations. |
E. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. For the Day Hagan Smart Sector ETF, Day Hagan Smart Sector International ETF and Day Hagan Smart Buffer ETF, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. For the Day Hagan Smart Sector Fixed Income ETF, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e. g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments, differing treatment of income relating to swap agreements), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary differences are primarily due to wash sales and differing treatment on certain investments. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as a distribution of capital.
F. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionally among all series of the Trust in relation to the net assets of each series or on another reasonable basis. The Trust may share expenses with Mutual Fund and Variable Insurance Trust, an open-end management investment company managed by Rational Advisors, Inc. Those expenses that are shared are allocated proportionally among each of the trusts or on another reasonable basis.

These fees are each structured as a Unified Fee, pursuant to which the Advisor is obligated to pay or arrange for the payment of substantially all expenses of the Funds (including, without limitation, transfer agent fees, administrative fees and expenses, custodian fees, legal fees, accounting fees, any other expenses (including clerical expenses) of issue, sale, repurchase or redemption of shares, expenses of registering or qualifying shares for sale, transfer taxes, all expenses of preparing the Trusts registration statements and prospectuses for the Funds, and the cost of printing and delivering to shareholders prospectuses and reports), except the Funds Advisory fee; taxes; brokerage commissions and trading costs; interest (including borrowing costs and overdraft charges); short sale dividends and interest expenses; acquired fund fees and expenses; and non-routine or extraordinary expenses of the Funds (such as litigation or reorganizational costs), each of which is paid by the Funds. The Advisors Unified Fee is designed to cause substantially all of each Funds expenses to be paid and to compensate the Advisor for providing services for the Funds.
B. Distribution and Shareholder Services Fees
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the Distributor) is the principal underwriter and distributor of each Funds Shares. The Distributor is compensated by the Advisor in accordance with a Distribution Services Agreement between the Advisor and the Distributor. The Trust has adopted but has yet to implement a Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan (the Plan). The Plan is designed to compensate or reimburse financial intermediaries (including the Distributor, the Advisor, and their affiliates) for activities principally intended to result in the sale of Fund shares, such as advertising and marketing of shares (including printing and disseminating prospectuses and sales literature to prospective shareholders and financial intermediaries) and providing incentives to financial intermediaries to sell shares. The Plan is also designed to cover the cost of administrative services performed in conjunction with the sale of shares, including, but not limited to, shareholder services, recordkeeping services and educational services, as well as the costs of implementing and operating the Plan. In accordance with the Plan, the Distributor may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries and dealers relating to distribution and/or marketing services with respect to the Funds. Pursuant to the Plan, each Fund may pay a 12b-1 fee not to exceed 0.25% per year of its average daily net assets. No 12b-1 fee is currently paid by the Funds and the Board has not approved any payments under the Plan.

| Day Hagan Smart Buffer ETF | 6,133,927 | — | ||||||
(5) Capital Share Transactions
Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof at net asset value . Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in -kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Funds specified universe, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The standard charge and maximum transaction fee for each Fund are $250 and $1,000, respectively.
For financial reporting, in-kind redemptions are treated as sales of securities resulting in realized capital gains or losses to the Funds. These gains or losses are not taxable to the Funds and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders. At the end of the Funds tax year, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gain (loss) to paid -in capital. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share.
From time to time, settlement of securities related to subscriptions in kind or redemptions-in-kind may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as Due from custodian and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as Securities payable related to in-kind transactions on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
The Trust has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Funds tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than not (i.e., greater than 50-percent chance) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Tax positions taken in tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities (generally three years plus the interim tax period since then for federal income tax purposes). The determination has been made that there are not any uncertain tax positions that would require the Funds to record a tax liability and, therefore, there is no impact to the Funds financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended April 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The tax year end for the Funds is April 30.
As of the tax year ended April 30, 2026, the tax cost of securities including written options and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were as follows:

(7) Segment Reporting
Subject to the oversight and, when applicable, approval of the Board, the Funds Advisor acts as the Funds chief operating decision maker (CODM) and is responsible for assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Funds have a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of the Funds as a whole and the Funds long-term strategic asset allocation are determined in accordance with the terms of their prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Funds portfolio managers as a team. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Funds financial statements.
(8) Recent Accounting Pronouncement
The Funds adopted Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures during the period. The amendments enhance income tax disclosures by requiring greater disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction if the quantitative threshold is met. The Funds did not pay a significant amount of foreign or U.S. federal, state or local income taxes and therefore did not include any additional disclosures in these financial statements.
(9) Underlying Fund Investments
The ETFs in which the Funds invest are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Funds. As a result, the cost of investing in the Funds will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the ETFs and may be higher than other funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each of the ETFs in which the Funds invest is subject to its own specific risks. As of April 30, 2026, the following underlying ETFs comprised 25% or more of the net assets of the corresponding Funds:
| Day Hagan Smart Buffer ETF | Percentage (%) | |
| State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust | 100.9% |
The financial statements of these underlying funds, including their portfolio of investments, can be found on the SECs website www.sec.gov and should be read in conjunction with these financial statements.
(10) Risks
Each Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of the positions in the Funds portfolio, including equities, fixed-income instruments, derivatives, other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer, country, region, market, industry, sector or asset class. The principal risks of investing in the Funds are described more fully in the Funds prospectus.
(11) Subsequent Events
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of April 30, 2026.

(1) Organization
Strategy Shares (the Trust) was organized on September 7, 2010 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (Shares) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. Currently, the Trust offers its Shares in fourteen separate series. The accompanying Financial Statements relate to the following series: Eventide High Dividend ETF, Eventide International ETF, Eventide Large Cap Growth ETF, Eventide Large Cap Value ETF, Eventide Small Cap ETF, and Eventide US Market ETF (individually referred to as a Fund, or collectively as the Funds). The Funds are diversified, actively-managed exchange-traded funds. The investment objective of Eventide High Dividend ETF is to seek income, income growth and long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of each of Eventide International ETF, Eventide Large Cap Growth ETF, Eventide Large Cap Value ETF, Eventide Small Cap ETF, and Eventide US Market ETF is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Funds prospectus provides a description of each Funds investment objective, policies, and strategies. The assets of each Fund in the Trust are segregated, and a shareholders interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.
Eventide International ETF commenced operations on December 16, 2025, and Eventide Large Cap Growth ETF, Eventide Large Cap Value ETF and Eventide Small Cap ETF commenced operations on September 29, 2025. Shares of each Fund are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (NAV). Each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares, or multiples thereof, called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit.
Under the Trusts organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the Board) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies including Accounting Standard Update 2013-08. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuations
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds securities. When reliable market quotations are not readily available for any security, the fair value of that security will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust has a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various inputs used to determine the value of the Funds investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| ● | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
| ● | Level 2 – Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| ● | Level 3 – Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Equity securities (including foreign equity securities) traded on a securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange, except that equity securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and in the case of over-the-counter securities, equity securities are valued at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and for all other debt securities, debt securities are valued at a price supplied by a security pricing service. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

| (a) | Please see the Portfolio of Investments for industry classifications. |
For the year ended April 30, 2026, there were no Level 2 or Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value, nor were there any transfers into or out of Level 3 during the year.
B. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date except in the case of foreign securities, in which case dividends are recorded as soon as such information becomes available. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Funds is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on their current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.
C. Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the fair value of investments, assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices
of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and foreign currencies.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Idle cash may be swept into various overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
E. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders net investment income, if any, at least quarterly and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.
The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments, differing treatment of income relating to swap agreements), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary differences are primarily due to wash sales and differing treatment on certain investments. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as a distribution of capital.
The Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs are initially recorded as dividend income and, to the extent such distributions represent a return of capital or a capital gain for tax purposes, they are reclassified when such information becomes available.
F. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionally among all series of the Trust in relation to the net assets of each series or on another reasonable basis. The Trust may share expenses with Mutual Fund and Variable Insurance Trust, an open-end management investment company managed by Rational Advisors, Inc. Those expenses that are shared are allocated proportionally among each of the trusts or on another reasonable basis.
(3) Investment Advisory and Other Contractual Services
A. Investment Advisory Fees
Eventide Asset Management, LLC (the Advisor), serves as the Funds investment advisor pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement. Subject at all times to the oversight of the Board, the Advisor is responsible for the overall management of the Funds. The Trust has arranged for distribution, custody, fund administration, transfer agency and all other services necessary for the Funds to operate. Eventide High Dividend ETF and Eventide Small Cap ETF pay 0.49%, while Eventide Large Cap Growth ETF, Eventide Large Cap Value ETF, and Eventide US Market ETF each pay 0.39% and Eventide International ETF pays 0.59% of their average daily net assets, computed daily and paid monthly, for advisory services they receive from the advisor. These fees are each structured as a Unified Fee, pursuant to which the Advisor is obligated to pay or arrange for the payment of substantially all expenses of the Funds (including, without
22 | Annual Financial Statements and Other Information
| Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) | April 30, 2026 |
limitation, transfer agent fees, administrative fees and expenses, custodian fees, legal fees, accounting fees, any other expenses (including clerical expenses) of issue, sale, repurchase or redemption of shares, expenses of registering or qualifying shares for sale, transfer taxes, all expenses of preparing the Trusts registration statements and prospectuses for the Funds, and the cost of printing and delivering to shareholders prospectuses and reports), except the Funds Advisory fee; taxes; brokerage commissions and trading costs; interest (including borrowing costs and overdraft charges); short sale dividends and interest expenses; acquired fund fees and expenses; and non-routine or extraordinary expenses of the Fund (such as litigation or reorganizational costs), each of which is paid by the Funds. The Advisors Unified Fee is designed to cause substantially all of each Funds expenses to be paid and to compensate the Advisor for providing services for the Funds.
B. Distribution and Shareholder Services Fees
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the Distributor) is the principal underwriter and distributor of each Funds Shares. The Distributor is compensated by the Advisor in accordance with a Distribution Services Agreement between the Advisor and the Distributor. The Trust has adopted but has yet to implement a Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan (the Plan). The Plan is designed to compensate or reimburse financial intermediaries (including the Distributor, the Advisor, and their affiliates) for activities principally intended to result in the sale of Fund shares, such as advertising and marketing of shares (including printing and disseminating prospectuses and sales literature to prospective shareholders and financial intermediaries) and providing incentives to financial intermediaries to sell shares. The Plan is also designed to cover the cost of administrative services performed in conjunction with the sale of shares, including, but not limited to, shareholder services, recordkeeping services and educational services, as well as the costs of implementing and operating the Plan. In accordance with the Plan, the Distributor may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries and dealers relating to distribution and/or marketing services with respect to the Funds. Pursuant to the Plan, each Fund may pay a 12b-1 fee not to exceed 0.25% per year of its average daily net assets. No 12b-1 fee is currently paid by the Funds and the Board has not approved any payments under the Plan.

(5) Capital Share Transactions
Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof at net asset value. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Funds specified universe, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The standard charge and maximum transaction fee for the Funds are $250 and $1,000, respectively.
For financial reporting, in-kind redemptions are treated as sales of securities resulting in realized capital gains or losses to the Funds. These gains or losses are not taxable to the Funds and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders. At the end of the Funds tax year, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share.
From time to time, settlement of securities related to subscriptions-in-kind or redemptions-in-kind may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as Due from custodian and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as Securities payable related to in-kind transactions on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
The Trust has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Funds tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than not (i.e., greater than 50-percent chance) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Tax positions taken in tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities (generally three years plus the interim tax period since then for federal income tax purposes). The determination has been made that there are not any uncertain tax positions that would require the Funds to record a tax liability and, therefore, there is no impact to the Funds financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended April 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The tax year end for the Funds is April 30.

(7) Segment Reporting
Subject to the oversight and, when applicable, approval of the Board, the Funds Advisor acts as the Funds chief operating decision maker (CODM) and is responsible for assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Funds have a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of the Funds as a whole and the Funds long-term strategic asset allocation are determined in accordance with the terms of their prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Funds portfolio managers as a team. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Funds financial statements.
(8) Recent Accounting Pronouncement
The Funds adopted Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures during the period. The amendments enhance income tax disclosures by requiring greater disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction if the quantitative threshold is met. The Funds did not pay a significant amount of foreign or U.S. federal, state or local income taxes and therefore did not include any additional disclosures in these financial statements.
(9) Risks
Each Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of the positions in the Funds portfolio, including equities, fixed-income instruments, derivatives, other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer, country, region, market, industry, sector or asset class.
The principal risks of investing in the Funds are described more fully in the Funds prospectus.
(10) Subsequent Events
Management of the Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of April 30, 2026.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (Unaudited)
Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement between Strategy Shares (the Trust) and Eventide Asset Management, LLC (Eventide) with respect to Eventide International ETF
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the Board) of the Trust held on September 16, 2025, the Board, a majority of which was composed of Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), of the Trust, discussed the approval of the investment advisory agreement between the Trust and Eventide with respect to the Eventide International ETF (the Eventide Investment Advisory Agreement).
In connection with the Boards consideration of the approval of the Eventide Investment Advisory Agreement, as required by Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested and received due diligence materials prepared by Eventide (the Eventide 15(c) Response). The Board was assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process and relied upon the advice of legal counsel and its own business judgment in evaluating the Eventide Investment Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based upon a comprehensive evaluation and discussion of all the information provided for the Eventide International ETF with respect to the approval of the Eventide Investment Advisory Agreement and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee might have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Eventide Investment Advisory Agreement.
Review of Eventide 15(c) Response
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed the nature, extent, and quality of the services that Eventide proposed to provide to the Eventide International ETF pursuant to the Eventide Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed information concerning Eventides resources, personnel, and business operations. The Board considered that Eventide would oversee the Eventide International ETF investment strategy, including fair valuation. The Board reviewed Eventides Form ADV and proxy voting policy summary. The Board discussed the financial health of Eventide and reviewed its Statement of Financial Health dated as of December 31, 2024. The Board reviewed Eventides compliance program, including its business continuity and cybersecurity programs. The Board considered that Eventide currently serves as the investment advisor to other series of the Trust, and as the investment advisor to eight series of Mutual Fund Series Trust, an investment company affiliated with the Trust.
Performance. The Eventide 15(c) Response stated that Eventide does not manage any funds with investment objectives or principal investment strategies comparable to those of the Eventide International ETF.
Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed the proposed unified management fee under which Eventide would pay all the routine expenses of the Eventide International ETF, except for the management fee, Rule 12b-1 expenses, brokerage commissions and trading costs, short sale dividends and interest expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses.
Profitability. A profitability analysis from Eventide demonstrated that Eventide expected to incur a loss in the first year of managing the Eventide International ETF and realize a profit in the second year.
Fall-out Benefits. The Board considered the fall-out benefits that Eventide expected to receive from its relationship with the Eventide International ETF.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Eventide expected to share economies of scale with the Eventide International ETF. The Board determined to revisit the matter of economies of scale as the Eventide International ETFs assets increased.
Conclusion. The Board considered many factors, and no single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board concerning the approval of the Eventide Investment Advisory Agreement. In connection with its deliberations, the Board reviewed materials prepared by Eventide. Having requested, reviewed, and discussed in depth such information from Eventide as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Eventide Investment Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded that approval of the Eventide Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interest of the Eventide International ETF and its prospective shareholders.

(1) Organization
Strategy Shares (the Trust) was organized on September 7, 2010 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (Shares) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. Currently, the Trust offers its Shares in fourteen separate series. The accompanying Financial Statements relate to the following series: Strategy Shares Gold Enhanced Yield ETF (Gold Enhanced Yield ETF), Strategy Shares Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF (Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF), Strategy Shares Newfound/ReSolve Robust Momentum ETF (Newfound/ReSolve Robust Momentum ETF), and Monopoly ETF (Monopoly ETF) (individually referred to as a Fund, or collectively as the Funds). Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF and Newfound/ReSolve Robust Momentum ETF are classified as diversified under the 1940 Act, while Gold Enhanced Yield ETF and Monopoly ETF are classified as non diversified under the 1940 Act. Gold Enhanced Yield ETF and Monopoly ETF are actively managed exchange traded funds. Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF and Newfound/ReSolve Robust Momentum ETF are passively managed exchange traded funds. The investment objective of the Gold Enhanced Yield ETF is to seek income and long term capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF is to seek investment results that correlate generally, before fees and expenses, to the price and yield performance of the Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index. The investment objective of the Newfound/ReSolve Robust Momentum ETF is to seek to provide investment returns that correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Newfound/ReSolve Robust Equity Momentum Index. The investment objective of Monopoly ETF is to seek to provide long term capital appreciation. The Funds prospectuses provide a description of each Funds investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholders interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.
Monopoly ETF commenced operations on May 15, 2025. Shares of the Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF are listed and traded on the Nasdaq. Shares of the Gold Enhanced Yield ETF, Newfound/ReSolve Robust Momentum ETF and Monopoly ETF are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (NAV). Each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares, or multiples thereof, called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit.
Under the Trusts organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the Board) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the
investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies including Accounting Standard Update 2013 08. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying Consolidated Portfolio of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, and Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Gold Enhanced Yield ETF include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, SSGBI Fund Limited (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and primarily invests in gold futures contracts, other commodities, and total return swaps as well as cash and cash equivalents, such as treasury securities, which serve as collateral for the Subsidiarys investment in gold futures contracts and total return swap investments. The Fund will invest up to 25% of its total assets in its Subsidiary. As of April 30, 2026, the net assets of the Subsidiary was 15. 8% of the total net assets of the Fund. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions as the Fund, when viewed on a consolidated basis.
B. Investment in a Subsidiary
By investing in the Subsidiary, the Gold Enhanced Yield ETF is indirectly exposed to the commodities risks associated with the Subsidiarys investments in commodity related instruments. There can be no assurance that the Subsidiarys investments will contribute to the Gold Enhanced Yield ETFs returns. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. The Board, however, has oversight responsibility for the investment activities of the Gold Enhanced Yield ETF including its investment in its Subsidiary and the Gold Enhanced Yield ETFs role as the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Gold Enhanced Yield ETF and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in the prospectus and could adversely affect the Gold Enhanced Yield ETF, such as by reducing the Gold Enhanced Yield ETFs investment returns. The financial statements of the Subsidiary have been consolidated with the Gold Enhanced Yield ETFs financial statements in this report.
C. Investment Valuations
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds securities. When reliable market quotations are not readily available for any security, the fair value of that security will be determined in accordance with procedures approved by the
14 | Annual Financial Statements and Other Information
| Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) | April 30, 2026 |
Board. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust has a three tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various inputs used to determine the value of the Funds investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| ● | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
| ● | Level 2 – Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| ● | Level 3 – Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Equity securities (including foreign equity securities) traded on a securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange, except that equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and in the case of over the counter securities, equity securities are valued at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter market are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and for all other debt securities, debt securities are valued at a price supplied by a security pricing service. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Swaps are generally valued at the last quoted sales price of the swap (if exchange listed) or of the underlying security (if such security is exchange listed), or in the absence of a sale, fair valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices, and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Other types of swaps may be fair valued by a pricing agent covering the specific type of swap.
The following table provides the fair value measurement as of April 30, 2026.

For the year ended April 30, 2026, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value, nor were there any transfers into or out of Level 3 during this year.
D. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex dividend date. Investment income from non U.S. sources received by the Funds is generally subject to non U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on their current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.
E. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Idle cash may be swept into various overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
F. Derivative Instruments
Swap Agreements: The Funds may enter into swap agreements (swaps) in an attempt to obtain a particular desired return at a lower cost to the Funds than if it had been invested directly in an instrument that yielded that desired return. Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 15
| Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) | April 30, 2026 |
in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i. e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a basket of securities representing a particular index. The notional amount of the swap agreement is only a fictive basis on which to calculate the obligations the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. A Funds obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the net amount).
Total Return Swaps: The Funds may enter into total return swaps to gain or mitigate exposure to the underlying securities or indices. In long total return swaps, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the Funds the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swaps would have increased in value had it been invested in the particular instruments, plus an amount equal to any dividends or interest that would have been received on those instruments. The Funds will agree to pay to the counterparty an amount equal to a fixed or floating rate of interest on the notional amount of the swaps plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such instruments plus, in certain instances, commissions or trading spreads on the notional amount. Total return swaps do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying instruments. Until a total return swap is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends or interest on the instruments less the interest paid by the Funds on the notional amount is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements and, when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss realized is recorded as realized gains or losses on swap agreements.. The Funds may enter into total return swaps that provide the opposite return of its benchmark index or security (short the index or security). Its operations are similar to those swaps disclosed above except that the counterparty pays interest to the Funds on the notional amount outstanding and that dividends or interest on the underlying instruments reduce the value of the swaps plus, in certain instances, the Funds will agree to pay to the counterparty commissions or trading spreads on the notional amount. These amounts are netted against any unrealized appreciation or depreciation to determine the value of the swaps.
The primary risks associated with the use of swaps are an imperfect correlation between the prices of financial instruments and movements in the prices of the underlying investments and the inability of counterparties to perform under the agreement. The counterparty to any swap agreement will typically be a bank, investment banking firm or broker dealer. The Funds will bear the counterparty risk (i. e., the risk of loss of the net amount), if any, expected to be received under a swap in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the swap counterparty. As of April 30, 2026, the Gold Enhanced Yield ETF and the Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF each invested in total return swaps. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of April 30, 2026 is disclosed in the Total Return Swap Agreement tables of the Portfolios of Investments section.

G. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex dividend date. For the Gold Enhanced Yield ETF, the Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF and the Monopoly ETF, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. For the Newfound/ReSolve Robust Momentum ETF, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
16 | Annual Financial Statements and Other Information
| Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) | April 30, 2026 |
The amount of dividends from net investment income and 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 or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e. g., distributions and income received from pass through investments, differing treatment of income relating to swap agreements), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary differences are primarily due to wash sales and differing treatment on certain investments. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as a distribution of capital.
The Funds may own shares of real estate investments trusts (REITs), which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
H. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionally among all series of the Trust in relation to the net assets of each series or on another reasonable basis. The Trust may share expenses with Mutual Fund and Variable Insurance Trust, an open end management investment company managed by Rational Advisors, Inc. Those expenses that are shared are allocated proportionally among each of the trusts or on another reasonable basis.
(3) Investment Advisory and Other Contractual Services A. Investment Advisory Fees

The Expense Cap will remain in effect until at least August 31, 2027 for the Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF and the Newfound/ReSolve Robust Momentum ETF. The Expense Cap may be terminated earlier only upon the approval of the Board. The Advisor may recoup Advisory fees that it waived or Fund expenses that it paid under this agreement for a period of three years after the fees were waived or expenses paid, if the recoupment can be achieved without causing the expense ratio (after the recoupment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of (i) the expense limit in effect at the time the fees were waived or expenses paid, or (ii) the expense limit in place at the time of recoupment.
As of April 30, 2026, the Advisor may recoup amounts from the Funds as follows:

(5) Capital Share Transactions
Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof at net asset value. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Funds specified universe, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The standard charge and maximum transaction fee for each Fund are $250 and $1,000, respectively.
18 | Annual Financial Statements and Other Information
| Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) | April 30, 2026 |
From time to time, settlement of securities related to subscriptions-in-kind or redemptions-in-kind may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in kind subscriptions are reflected as Due from custodian and securities related to in kind redemptions are reflected as Securities payable related to in kind transactions on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
The Trust has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Funds tax returns to determine whether it is more likely than not (i. e., greater than 50 percent chance) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax
position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in an increase in a liability for taxes payable (or a reduction of a tax refund receivable), including the recognition of any related interest and penalties as an operating expense. Tax positions taken in tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities (generally three years plus the interim tax period since then for federal income tax purposes). The determination has been made that there are not any uncertain tax positions that would require the Funds to record a tax liability and, therefore, there is no impact to the Funds financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The tax year end for the Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF is December 31 and the tax year end for the Gold Enhanced Yield ETF, Newfound/ReSolve Robust Momentum ETF and Monopoly ETF is April 30.
As of the most recent tax year end, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:

The differences between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are attributable primarily to basis adjustments for wash sales and mark to market on swap agreements.

(7) Segment Reporting
Subject to the oversight and, when applicable, approval of the Board, the Funds Advisor acts as the Funds chief operating decision maker (CODM) and is responsible for assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Funds have a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of the Funds as a whole and the Funds long term strategic asset allocation are determined in accordance with the terms of their prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Funds portfolio managers as a team. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Funds financial statements.
(8) Recent Accounting Pronouncement
The Funds adopted Accounting Standards Update 2023 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures during the period. The amendments enhance income tax disclosures by requiring greater disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction if the quantitative threshold is met. The Funds did not pay a significant amount of foreign or U.S. federal, state or local income taxes and therefore did not include any additional disclosures in these financial statements.
(9) Underlying Fund Investments
The ETFs in which the Funds invest are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Funds. As a result, the cost of investing in the Funds will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the ETFs and may be higher than other funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each of the ETFs in which the Funds invest is subject to its own specific risks. As of April 30, 2026, the following underlying ETFs comprised 25% or more of the net assets of the corresponding Funds:
| Newfound/Resolve Robust Momentum ETF | Percentage (%) |
| iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF | 79.9% |
The financial statements of the underlying Funds, including their portfolio of investments, can be found on the SECs website www.sec.gov and should be read in conjunction with the Newfound/Resolve Robust Momentum ETFs financial statements.
(10) Risks
Each Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of the positions in the Funds portfolio, including equities, fixed-income instruments, derivatives, other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer, country, region, market, industry, sector or asset class.
The principal risks of investing in the Funds are described more fully in the Funds prospectus.
(11) Subsequent Events
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of April 30, 2026.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.

| Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (Unaudited) |
Renewal of the Management Agreements between Strategy Shares (the Trust) and Rational Advisors, Inc. (Rational) with respect to Strategy Shares Nasdaq 7HANDL™ Index ETF (the 7HANDL ETF), Strategy Shares Newfound/ReSolve Robust Momentum ETF (the Newfound/ReSolve ETF), and Strategy Shares Gold Enhanced Yield ETF (formerly, Strategy Shares Gold Hedged Bond ETF) (the Gold ETF) (each, a Covered Rational Advised ETF or Fund)
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the Board) of the Trust held on December 8, 2025, and continued on December 15, 2025, the Board, a majority of which was composed of Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), of the Trust, discussed the renewal of the management agreements between the Trust and Rational with respect to the Rational Advised ETFs (each, a Rational Management Agreement).
In connection with the Boards consideration of the renewal of each Rational Management Agreement, as required by Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested and received due diligence materials prepared by Rational (the Rational 15(c) Response) and considered the information presented at Board meetings throughout the year. The Board was assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process and relied upon the advice of legal counsel and its own business judgment in evaluating each such Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based upon a comprehensive evaluation and discussion of all the information provided for the Rational Advised ETFs with respect to the approval of each such Agreement and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee might have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to an Agreement.
Review of Rational 15(c) Response
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed the nature, extent, and quality of the services that Rational provided to the Covered Rational Advised ETFs pursuant to the Rational Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed information concerning Rationals business operations, resources and personnel, noting the addition of Craig Weynand as General Counsel of the firm in January 2025. The Board considered Rationals oversight of each such Funds investment strategies, including derivative risk management and fair valuation. The Board reviewed Rationals Form ADV. The Board discussed the financial health of Rational and reviewed its balance sheet. The Board considered that MFund Services LLC, an affiliate of Rational, provides these Funds with certain management, legal administrative, and compliance services, including providing the Trusts CCO. The Board reviewed Rationals compliance program, including its business continuity and cybersecurity programs, noting that there have not been any material compliance issues, violations or problems with respect to the Funds or any other registered investment company, pooled vehicle or private account managed by Rational, since the Board last renewed the Rational Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that Rational may use artificial intelligence for idea generation but does not use it in connection with managing the Covered Rational Advised ETFs. A representative of the adviser then discussed the status of the regulatory examinations and the litigation involving affiliated funds advised by Rational.
Performance. The Board reviewed the performance of each Covered Rational Advised ETF relative to its peer group, Morningstar category, and benchmark index or indices for various periods ended September 30, 2025.
7HANDL ETF. The Fund outperformed its peer group and the Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index for the one , three , and five year, and since inception (January 16, 2018) periods. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar Moderately Conservative Allocation category for the three year and since inception periods, but underperformed the Morningstar category for the one and five year periods. The Fund was in line with the Nasdaq 7HANDL Index (less annualized expenses) for all periods. Rational attributed the Funds performance to its leveraged exposure to a blended portfolio of stocks and bonds.
Newfound/ReSolve ETF. The Fund outperformed its peer group and the S&P Target Risk Growth Index for the five year period but underperformed both for the one and three year, and since inception periods (November 1, 2019). The Fund outperformed the Morningstar Tactical Allocation category for the three year and five year periods and underperformed it for the one year and since inception periods. The Fund underperformed the Morningstar Aggressive Allocation category for all periods. The Funds performance was in line with the Newfound/ReSolve Robust Equity Momentum Index (less annualized expenses) for all periods.
Gold ETF. The Fund outperformed its peer group, the Morningstar Commodities Broad Basket category, and the Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Total Return Index for the one and three year and since inception (May 17, 2021) periods. Rational attributed the Funds performance to the strong price performance of gold.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (Unaudited) (Continued)
Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed the advisory fees and the net expenses for each Covered Rational Advised ETF compared to its peer group and Morningstar category.
7HANDL ETF. The Funds advisory fee was higher than the median and average fees for the peer group and Morningstar Moderately Conservative Allocation category, but within the range of advisory fees for both. The Funds net expenses were higher than the average and median net expenses of the peer group and Morningstar category, but within the high low range of net expenses of the peer group, and had the highest net expense ratio of the Morningstar category, which included only four other ETFs. Rational stated that the Funds higher advisory fee reflected the specialized nature of the Funds strategy, including the use of swaps to obtain leverage to track its underlying index. The Board acknowledged Rationals willingness to limit the Funds net annual fees and expenses to 0.80% through August 31, 2027.
Newfound/ReSolve ETF. The Funds advisory fee was lower than the median and average fees for the peer group, the Morningstar Aggressive Allocation category, and the Morningstar Tactical Allocation category. The Funds net expenses were lower than the median and average net expenses for the peer group and both Morningstar categories. The Board acknowledged Rationals willingness to limit the Funds net annual fees and expenses to 0.75% through August 31, 2027.
Gold ETF. The Fund is charged an annual unitary management fee of 0.79%, which pays all of the Funds expenses other than advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 expenses, brokerage commissions and trading costs, short sale dividends and interest expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses. The Funds unitary fee is higher than the median and average advisory fee for the peer group and the Morningstar Commodities Broad Basket category, but is within the range of advisory fees for both. Similarly, the Funds unitary fee is higher than the median and average expense ratio of the peer group and Morningstar category, but is within the range of expense ratios for both. The Board noted that Rational believes the unitary fee is reasonable given the specialized and inherently more complex nature of the Funds investment strategy.
Profitability. A profitability analysis from Rational demonstrated that Rational realized a profit in connection with its management of the 7HANDL ETF, but realized losses with respect to the Newfound/ReSolve ETF and the Gold ETF. The Board determined that Rationals profits with respect to the 7HANDL ETF were not unreasonable.
Fall out Benefits. The Board considered fall out benefits that Rational received from its relationship with the Covered Rational Advised ETFs, including the fact that these Funds utilize affiliates to provide certain services.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Rational was sharing economies of scale with the Covered Rational Advised ETFs.
The Board determined to revisit the matter of economies of scale as each such Funds assets increased.
Conclusion. The Board considered many factors, and no single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board concerning the renewal of the Rational Investment Advisory Agreement. In connection with its deliberations, the Board reviewed materials prepared by Rational and considered information presented at Board meetings throughout the year. Having requested, reviewed, and discussed in depth such information from Rational as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Rational Investment Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded the renewal of the Rational Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interest of each Covered Rational Advised ETF and its shareholders.
