MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

 

Fund Shareholders:

 

The first half of the fiscal year could be characterized as seesaw performance. The rising phase occurred during the first three months. Fund returns reached 18.13% through the end of February compared to 5.44% for the All Country World Index (ACWI) benchmark. Performance for the Fund was driven by extraordinary returns in precious metals miners and significant returns in communication services, industrials and energy.

 

The declining phase began on Saturday, 2/28, when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran and started a conflict that continues today. Equities generally traded down in March, but tech and industrial stocks with AI exposure moved higher in April and May. Investors appear to be using large-cap tech stocks as defensive positions under the belief that those earnings will continue to grow with the build-out of AI data centers. Without direct AI exposure, Fund shares retreated in the last three months of the first half. Returns ended at 6.05% over the full period while ACWI benchmark returns increased to 13.56% for all six months.

 

As the U.S. attempts to reposition from global free trade toward more self-sufficient mercantilism, it has focused on enforcing the dollar-based financial system to protect the U.S. currency’s reserve status. Foreign policy seems directed at keeping oil priced in dollars. To help ensure their independence, other nations are turning away from U.S. Treasuries as reserve assets and emphasizing real assets, which have begun taking a more prominent role. Gold is now the most widely held reserve asset among central banks, especially in emerging markets.

 

The Sub-Adviser holds the opinion that monetary metals and other real assets will continue trending in the direction of higher prices, and the Fund is positioned accordingly. Ongoing inflation, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical conflicts support further appreciation in precious metals as well as other hard assets and agricultural commodities.

 

The Fund combines screening with an alternative, or hedged, portfolio strategy. To the Adviser’s knowledge, there are no directly comparable funds. The Adviser believes the Fund represents a unique opportunity for three reasons: 1) an investment screen driven primarily by a focus on governance and transparency; 2) a more cautious stock selection approach, guided by profitability and value, to identify individual equities that should generally meet a growth and income objective; and 3) a hedged strategy adding index and sector put options that should help preserve capital during precipitous drawdowns.

Parvin Hedged Equity Solari World Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

 

The Parvin Hedged Equity Solari World Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of the MSS Series Trust (the "Trust") and commenced operations on December 31, 2020. The Trust is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 20, 2006 (the "Trust Agreement"). The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value. There are currently four separate series offered by the Trust. Parvin Fund Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) serves as the investment advisor to the Fund.

 

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital preservation, current income, and growth.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies,” including FASB Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.

 

SECURITY VALUATIONS: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

 

SHARE VALUATION: The Fund’s NAV is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open. The NAV is determined by totaling the value of all portfolio securities, cash and other assets held by the Fund, and subtracting from that total all liabilities, including accrued expenses. The total net assets are divided by the total number of shares outstanding to determine the NAV of each share.

 

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS: Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recognized on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividend income is recorded at the fair market value of securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Fund uses the specific identification method in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the appropriate country's rules and tax rates.

 

OPTIONS: The Fund may invest in put and call options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining if the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

The Fund may utilize call and put options to attempt to protect against possible changes in the market value of securities held in or to be purchased for the Fund’s portfolio and to generate income or gain for the Fund. The ability of the Fund to successfully utilize options will depend on the Advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The Fund will comply with applicable regulatory requirements when implementing these techniques and instruments. See Note 7 for additional disclosures related to derivative instruments.

 

FEDERAL INCOME TAX: The Fund makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

 

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions to be taken on the returns filed for the open tax years (2021-2024) or expected to be taken on the Fund’s 2025 tax return. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. federal, and the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

 

The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended May 31, 2026, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

EXPENSES: Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust will be allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Trustees).

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Fund maintains its cash in an account at a custodian bank which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.

 

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net realized capital gains and net investment income, if any, on at least an annual basis. Distributions will be recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income taxes purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or NAV per share of the Fund.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the related amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

NOTE 3. SECURITY VALUATIONS

 

Processes and Structure

The Board has adopted guidelines for valuing securities and other derivative instruments including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to the Advisor, in its capacity as the Board’s valuation designee, to apply those methods in making fair value determinations, subject to Board oversight. In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Advisor is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single standard for determining fair value controls, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Advisor would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods that are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (included a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.

 

Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of the investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:

 

·Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

 

·Level 2. Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments in inactive markets, interest rates, implied volatilities, credit spreads, yield curves, and market-collaborated inputs.

 

·Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date, and that would be based on the best information available.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

Fair Value Measurements

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

 

The Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee of the Fund. As valuation designee, the Advisor performs the fair value determination relating to any and all investments of the Fund, subject to the conditions and oversight requirements described in the valuation procedures. In furtherance of its duties as valuation designee, the Advisor has established policies and procedures to perform fair value determinations and oversee the day-to-day functions related to the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Advisor, as valuation designee, may consult with representatives from the Trust’s outside legal counsel or other third-party consultants in their discussions and deliberations.

 

Equity securities (common stocks, real estate investment trusts). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange traded funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and that are categorized in Level 2. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized in Level 2.

 

Derivative instruments (options). Derivative transactions that are actively traded, and valuation adjustments that are not applied, are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative transactions traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Options are valued at the last sales prices on the valuation date if the last sales price is between the closing bid and asked prices. If the last sales price is not available then the options are valued at the midpoint of the bid and asked prices. These securities will be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy if valued at other than closing price.

 

Short-term investments. Short-term investments are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds are valued at their net asset value of $1 per share and are categorized as Level 1.

 

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of May 31, 2026:

Investments in Securities        
  (Assets) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
    Common Stocks $ 10,224,801 $             -  $            0 $10,224,801
    Real Estate Investment Trust 344,685 - - 344,685
    Money Market Fund 2,534,389 - - 2,534,389
    Purchased Options - 370,890 - 370,890
            Total $ 13,103,875 $  370,890  $            0 $13,474,765

 

Refer to the Schedule of Investments for a listing of securities by security type and industry.

 

At May 31, 2026, as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments, the Fund held two common stock securities which were classified as Level 3. The securities were valued using significant unobservable inputs by the Advisor’s Pricing Committee as a result of financial market disruptions associated with sanctions announced in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and countermeasures adopted by the Russian government.

 

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

The above table presents information for two securities, which due to the Russian foreign exchange restrictions are not actively traded.

 

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the period. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 at the end of the reporting period.

 

NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

INVESTMENT ADVISOR: The Advisor serves as investment advisor to the Fund pursuant to a management agreement with the Trust (the "Agreement"). Subject to the authority of the Board, the Advisor is responsible for management of the Fund's investment portfolio. The Advisor is responsible for selecting the Fund's investments according to the Fund's investment objective, policies and restrictions and as compensation for its management services, the Fund is obligated to pay the Advisor a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund during the term of the Agreement. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, the Advisor earned advisory fees of $76,918. During the same period, the Advisor waived fees of $312 and recouped fees of $1,268. As of May 31, 2026, the Fund owed the Advisor $15,535, of which $14,267 were advisory fees and $1,268 were recouped waived fees.

 

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund, at least until March 31, 2027, to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Reimbursement (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads; brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses; borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); taxes; and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses (which may include indemnification of Fund officers and Trustees, and contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the Advisor)) will not exceed 2.25% of average daily net assets. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years on a rolling three-year basis (three years from the date that the fees have been waived or reimbursed) if such recoupment does not cause the Fund’s expense ratio (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed both: (i) the Fund’s expense cap in place at the time such expenses were waived, and (ii) the Fund’s current expense cap at the time of recoupment. This agreement may be terminated only by the Board, on 60 days' written notice to the Advisor. As of November 30, 2025, advisory fees waived and/or reimbursed expenses that may be subject to potential recoupment by the Advisor, as of the date such fees were waived are as follows:

 

Recoverable Through   Amount Recoverable

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT: The Advisor entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Parvin Asset Management, LLC (“Sub-Adviser”) on September 24, 2021, on behalf of the Fund. Under the sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser earned an annual sub-advisory fee equal to 80% of the Advisor’s fee. The sub-advisory fee is paid to the Sub-Adviser by the Advisor, not the Fund, and therefore does not increase the advisory fees paid by the Fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, the Sub-Advisor earned $61,534 in sub-advisory fees.

 

TRANSFER AGENT: An interested Trustee, Gregory B. Getts, is the owner/president of Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC ("MSS"), the Fund’s transfer agent and fund accountant. MSS receives an annual fee from the Fund of $11.50 per shareholder with a minimum of $775 charge per month for the transfer agency services. For its services as fund accountant, MSS receives an annual fee from the Fund based on the average net assets of the Fund. On an annual basis, the Fund accounting fees range from $22,200 to $70,450 depending on the average net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, MSS earned $17,552 from the Fund for transfer agent and accounting services. As of May 31, 2026, the Fund owed MSS $2,961 for transfer agent and accounting services.

 

ADMINISTRATOR AND CCO: Prior to May 12, 2026, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, entered into Administration and Compliance Agreements with Empirical Administration, LLC ("Empirical") which provided administration and compliance services to the Fund. Brandon M. Pokersnik is the owner/president of Empirical, and also an employee of MSS. Mr. Pokersnik served as the Chief Compliance Officer and an officer of the Trust. For the services Empirical provided under the Administration and Compliance Agreements, Empirical received a monthly fee of $1,000 from the Fund. For the period December 1, 2025 through May 11, 2026, Empirical earned $5,328 for these services. As of May 31, 2026, the Fund owed Empirical $843.

 

Effective May 12, 2026, the Board appointed Bob Anastasi as Treasurer, Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust and approved Hanover Fund Administration, LLC (“Hanover”) to provide administrator and compliance services to the Trust. Mr. Anastasi is the owner/president of Hanover, and also the vice president of MSS. For the services Hanover provides under the Administration and Compliance Agreements, Hanover receives a monthly fee of $1,000 from the Fund. For the period May 12, 2026 through May 31, 2026, Hanover earned $656 for these services. As of May 31, 2026, the Fund owed Hanover $656.

 

UNDERWRITER FEES: Arbor Court Capital, LLC (the "Underwriter") acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in a continuous offering of the Fund's shares. The Underwriter is an affiliate of MSS. Mr. Getts is the president and owner of the Underwriter. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, the Underwriter earned $2,450 for its services which were paid by the Fund. As of May 31, 2026, the Fund owed the Underwriter $300. Underwriter Fees are included in Distributions Fees on the Financial Statements.

 

DISTRIBUTION FEES: The Fund has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"). The Plan permits the Fund to pay the Advisor and/or the Underwriter for certain distribution and promotion expenses related to marketing shares of the Fund. The amount payable annually by the Fund is 0.25% of its average daily net assets. The Plan is a compensation style plan which means the Fund accrues expenses and pays the Advisor and/or the Underwriter based upon the percentage described above rather than on actual expenses incurred by the Advisor and/or the Underwriter which were paid by the Fund.

 

Subject to the oversight of the Trustees, the Trust may, directly or indirectly, engage in any activities related to the distribution of the Shares of the Fund, which activities may include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) payments, including incentive compensation, to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries, financial institutions, investment advisors and others that are engaged in the sale of Fund Shares, or that may be advising shareholders of the Fund regarding the purchase, sale or retention of Fund Shares; (b) payments, including incentive compensation, to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries, financial institutions, investment advisers and others that hold Fund Shares for shareholders in omnibus accounts or as shareholders of record or provide shareholder support or administrative services to the Fund and its shareholders; (c) expenses of maintaining personnel (including personnel of organizations with which the Trust has entered into agreements related to this Plan) who engage in or support distribution of Fund Shares or who render shareholder support services, including, but not limited to, allocated overhead, office space and equipment, telephone facilities and expenses, answering routine inquiries regarding the Trust, processing shareholder transactions, and providing such other shareholder services as the Trust may reasonably request; (d) costs of preparing, printing and distributing prospectuses and statements of additional information and reports of the Fund for recipients other than existing shareholders of the Fund; (e) costs of formulating and implementing marketing and promotional activities, including, but not limited to, sales seminars, direct mail promotions and television, radio, newspaper, magazine and other mass media advertising; (f) costs of preparing, printing and distributing sales literature; (g) costs of obtaining such information, analyses and reports with respect to marketing and promotional activities as the Trust may, from time to time, deem advisable; and (h) costs of implementing and operating this Plan. The Trust is authorized to engage in the activities listed above, and in any other activities related to the distribution of Fund Shares, either directly or through other persons with which the Trust has entered into agreements related to this Plan.

 

The Plan has been approved by the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the Plan or any related agreement, by a vote cast in person. Continuation of the Plan and the related agreements must be approved by the Trustees annually, in the same manner, and the Plan or any related agreement may be terminated at any time without penalty by a majority of such independent Trustees or by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, the Fund incurred distribution fees under the Plan of $9,230. As of May 31, 2026, the Fund owed $1,371 in distribution fees.

 

NOTE 5.  SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Fund is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of the Fund is used by the investment manager to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown in the statements of operations and the financial highlights for the Fund is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Fund is party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and resources are not allocated to the Fund based on performance measurements. Due to the significance of oversight and its role, the Chief Investment Officer is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

 

NOTE 6. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

 

The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with no par value.

 

Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

 

  For the six months ended
May 31, 2026
For the year ended
November 30, 2025
  Shares Capital Shares Capital
Shares sold 406,612 $    4,739,517 316,481 $    3,150,594
Shares reinvested 4,665 49,406 7,489 65,157

Net Increase      247,718 $  2,935,995    288,006 $  2,860,530

 

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS

 

The fair value of derivative instruments, not accounted for as hedging instruments, as reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of May 31, 2026, was as follows:

 

Assets Equity Contracts
Purchased Options $    370,890
        Total $    370,890

 

The Fund considers the average quarter-end notional amounts during the six months ended May 31, 2026, categorized by primary underlying risk, to be representative of its derivative activities at May 31, 2026.

 

Average notional value of:

 

Purchased Options $ 10,050,000

 

The Fund has adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, which require that the Fund disclose: a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments and b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

 

The Advisor consistently assesses the value of existing positions in the Fund. Generally, the Advisor exercises patience when fundamentals are stable but prices volatile. The Advisor may at times write covered call options on a small portion of existing common stock positions in the Fund to generate premium. The Fund may trade financial instruments where they are considered to be a seller of credit derivatives in accordance with authoritative guidance under GAAP on derivatives and hedging. The Fund may purchase and write (i.e., sell) put and call options. Such options may relate to particular securities or stock indices, and may or may not be listed on a domestic or foreign securities exchange and may or may not be issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. Option trading is a highly specialized activity that entails greater than ordinary investment risk. Options may be more volatile than the underlying instruments, and therefore, on a percentage basis, an investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves.

 

A call option for a particular security gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer (seller) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option, regardless of the market price of the security. The premium paid to the writer is in consideration for undertaking the obligation under the option contract. A put option for a particular security gives the purchaser the right to sell the security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option, regardless of the market price of the security. See Note 2 for additional disclosures related to options.

 

For the six months ended May 31, 2026, financial derivative instruments had the following effect on the Statement of Operations:

 

Type of Derivative

Realized

Gain (Loss)

Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) Total
Purchased Options $    (222,144) $      (59,072) $   (281,216)
  $    (222,144) $      (59,072) $   (281,216)

 

NOTE 8. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

 

For the six months ended May 31, 2026, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government Obligations, short-term investments, options, and securities sold short aggregated $1,701,788 and $834,244, respectively.

 

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Fund indemnifies the Trust’s officers and trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain various representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims against the Fund and is presently unknown. However, the Fund considers the risk of loss from such potential claims to be remote.

 

Note 10. Tax Matters

 

As of November 30, 2025, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investment securities were as follows:

 

Federal tax cost of investments, including short-term investments

$ 8,885,408

 

   
Gross tax appreciation of investments $     1,949,591
Gross tax depreciation of investments        (824,557)
Net tax appreciation of investments $     1,125,034

 

The Fund's distributable earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis is determined only at the end of each fiscal year. As of November 30, 2025, the Fund's most recent fiscal year end, the components of distributable earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Capital Loss Carryforward – Non-expiring   $     (204,452)
Undistributed Ordinary Income   49,406
Post October Loss - Deferral   (106,953)
Net Unrealized Appreciation of Investments          1,125,034
Total Distributable Earnings   $        863,035

 

Under current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31st and net ordinary losses incurred after December 31st may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following year. The Fund’s carryforward losses, post-October losses and post-December losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. As of November 30, 2025, the Fund elected to defer $106,953 of post October capital losses.

 

The Fund utilized $8,696 of its capital loss carryforward during fiscal year November 30, 2025. As of November 30, 2025, the Fund has a capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes, which can be used to offset future capital gains, as follows:

 

Short-term non-expiring $  204,452

 

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

For the year ended November 30, 2025, there was an ordinary income distribution of $65,219.

 

For the six months ended May 31, 2026, there was an ordinary income distribution of $49,406.

 

NOTE 11. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

 

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of May 31, 2026, SEI Private Trust Co., for the benefit of its customers, held approximately 30% of the voting securities of the Fund and may be deemed to control the Fund.

 

NOTE 12. MARKET RISK

 

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, a number of jurisdictions, including the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, adopted a wide range of economic sanctions, trade restrictions and other restrictive measures. Disruptions in financial markets associated with these measures, and the countermeasures adopted by the Russian government in response, impacted the ability of participants to trade Russian securities and receive related dividend and interest payments. These disruptions created valuation and liquidity issues for Russian securities, including those held by the Fund, as disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The Fund’s Russian equity securities were valued using fair value pricing following the initial suspension of trading by the Moscow Stock Exchange in February and were valued at zero at fiscal year-end due to a lack of marketability for non-Russian investors.

 

Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund’s net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.

 

NOTE 13. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In September 2023, the SEC adopted a final rule relating to “Names Rule” under the 1940 Act. The amendments expanded the rule to require more funds to adopt an 80 percent investment policy, including funds with names suggesting a focus in investments with particular characteristics (e.g., growth or value) or with terms that reference a thematic investment focus (e.g., environmental, social, or governance factors). The amendments will require that a fund review its name for compliance with the rule. If needed, a fund may need to adopt an 80 percent investment policy and review its portfolio assets' treatment under such policy at least quarterly. The rule also requires additional prospectus disclosure and reporting and record keeping requirements. The amendments became effective on April 9, 2024. The compliance date is June 11, 2026 for funds with more than $1 billion in assets and December 11, 2026 for funds with less than $1 billion in assets. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new rule.
