How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

From June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, U.S. equities rose 29.78%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, reflecting robust corporate execution in a shifting macroeconomic backdrop. Gains were driven by resilient corporate earnings and heavy ongoing investment into artificial intelligence and productivity-enhancing technologies, which began generating tangible revenues. Mega-cap technology and communication services firms continued to lead index performance while overall market breadth remained narrow.

 

Equities experienced brief but sharp pullbacks in February and March 2026. This volatility was triggered by the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East, which sparked global energy price spikes and renewed supply chain anxieties. However, markets quickly rebounded into May as corporate balance sheets held firm and corporate cost pressures stabilized.

 

Fixed income markets also posted solid results. U.S taxable investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 5.13% for the period ended May 31, 2026. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index advanced 4.74% in the second half of 2025, supported by easing monetary policy characterized by three consecutive interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Credit-sensitive sectors, including corporate bonds and securitized assets, outperformed interest-rate-sensitive sectors due to tightening credit spreads and continued demand for yield.

 

In early 2026, the bond index rose an additional 0.39% despite increased cost pressures and uncertainty due to the Middle East conflict. Although hopes for additional policy easing from the Federal Reserve have turned into expectations of additional rate hikes in the future, high quality income remains attractive as corporate balance sheets remain strong. Overall, fixed income performance reflected the shift from falling cost pressures to heightened energy and supply chain uncertainty.

 

The Federal Reserve reduced its policy rates at three consecutive meetings as the labor market cooled. This policy backdrop helped maintain strong investor sentiment across asset classes. While easing was expected to continue into 2026, the Federal Reserve has adopted a more hawkish stance in the face of energy and supply chain shocks. The short-term interest rates market is now pricing that the next policy move will be a rate increase, possibly removing a tailwind that has aided strong risk asset performance.

 

During the same period, the Brookstone Active ETF gained 21.39%, outperforming its benchmark, the Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio Index, which returned 18.08%. The outperformance was primarily due to Brookstone Active ETF’s higher allocation to U.S equities and Fixed Income, whereas the benchmark includes a globally diversified mix of stocks, bonds, and cash, represented by multiple sub-indexes.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

From June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, U.S. equities rose 29.78%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, reflecting strong corporate execution in a shifting macroeconomic backdrop. Gains were driven by resilient corporate earnings and heavy ongoing investment into artificial intelligence and productivity-enhancing technologies, which began generating tangible revenues. Mega-cap technology and communication services firms continued to lead index performance while overall market breadth remained narrow.

 

Equities experienced brief but sharp pullbacks in February and March 2026. This volatility was triggered by the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East, which sparked global energy price spikes and renewed supply chain anxieties. However, markets quickly rebounded into May as corporate balance sheets held firm, cost pressures stabilized, and a desire for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict took hold.

 

The Federal Reserve reduced its policy rate at three consecutive meetings as the labor market continued to cool. This policy backdrop helped maintain strong investor sentiment across asset classes. While easing was expected to continue into 2026, the Federal Reserve has adopted a more hawkish stance in the face of energy and supply chain shocks. The short-term interest rate market is now pricing that the next policy move will be a rate increase, possibly removing a tailwind that has aided strong risk asset performance.

 

During the same period, the Brookstone Dividend Stock ETF returned 7.80%, underperforming its benchmark, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Total Return Index, which gained 23.01%. The Fund’s underperformance was largely driven by security selection, with FMC Corporation, AT&T, Kimberly Clark, and General Mills detracting most significantly from relative returns. This performance highlights that identifying dividend-paying companies with strong fundamentals and favorable risk/reward profiles, do not completely mitigate idiosyncratic risk.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

From June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, U.S. equities rose 29.78%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, reflecting strong corporate execution in a shifting macroeconomic backdrop. Gains were driven by resilient corporate earnings and heavy ongoing investment into artificial intelligence and productivity-enhancing technologies, which began generating tangible revenues. Mega-cap technology and communication services firms continued to lead index performance while overall market breadth remained narrow.

 

Equities experienced brief but sharp pullbacks in February and March 2026. This volatility was triggered by the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East, which sparked global energy price spikes and renewed supply chain anxieties. However, markets quickly rebounded into May as corporate balance sheets held firm, cost pressures stabilized, and a desire for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict took hold.

 

The Federal Reserve reduced its policy rate at three consecutive meetings as the labor market continued to cool. This policy backdrop helped maintain strong investor sentiment across asset classes. While easing was expected to continue into 2026, the Federal Reserve has adopted a more hawkish stance in the face of energy and supply chain shocks. The short-term interest rate market is now pricing that the next policy move will be a rate increase, possibly removing a tailwind that has aided strong risk asset performance.

 

During the same period, the Brookstone Growth Stock ETF returned 27.73%, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Growth Total Return Index, which rose 36.07%. The performance lag was primarily driven by asset allocation decisions - most notably an underweighting to the Information Technology and Communication Services sectors. While security selection remained disciplined, sector-level exposures were the dominant contributors to the relative underperformance.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

U.S taxable investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 5.13% for the period ended May 31, 2026. The performance reflected strong gains in the second half of 2025 and relatively flat gains in early 2026, despite increased geopolitical uncertainty.

 

From June through December 2025, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index rose 4.74%, supported by easing monetary policy characterized by three consecutive interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Signs of a cooling labor market and stable inflation created a constructive environment for fixed income. Credit-sensitive sectors, including corporate bonds and securitized assets, outperformed interest-rate-sensitive sectors due to tightening credit spreads and continued demand for yield.

 

In the first five months of 2026, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index rose an additional 0.39%. Although the environment remained positive in the first two months of the year, the war in Iran and the ensuing energy shock caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz increased headline inflation and reduced the expectation for continued easing from the Federal Reserve.

 

Despite a volatile backdrop shaped by increasing geopolitical uncertainty and evolving interest rate policy expectations, the bond market posted solid results for the period. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index reflected a shift between easing price pressures seen in the second half of 2025 and increased policy uncertainty resulting from geopolitical tensions in the first half of 2026.

 

For the same 12-month period, the Brookstone Intermediate Bond ETF returned 2.69%, underperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The underperformance was due to an overweight allocation to U.S. government bonds, and an underweight allocation to securitized and investment grade credit.

Gains were driven by resilient corporate earnings and heavy ongoing investment into artificial intelligence and productivity-enhancing technologies, which began generating tangible revenues.

This volatility was triggered by the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East, which sparked global energy price spikes and renewed supply chain anxieties. However, markets quickly rebounded into May as corporate balance sheets held firm and corporate cost pressures stabilized.

 

Fixed income markets also posted solid results. U.S taxable investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 5.13% for the period ended May 31, 2026. The index advanced 4.74% in the second half of 2025, supported by easing monetary policy characterized by three consecutive interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Credit-sensitive sectors, including corporate bonds and securitized assets, outperformed interest-rate-sensitive sectors due to tightening credit spreads and continued demand for yield.

 

In early 2026, the bond index rose an additional 0.39% despite increased cost pressures and uncertainty due to the Middle East conflict. Although hopes for additional policy easing from the Federal Reserve have turned into expectations of additional rate hikes in the future, high quality income remains attractive as corporate balance sheets remain strong. Overall, fixed income performance reflected the shift from falling cost pressures to heightened energy and supply chain uncertainty.

 

The Federal Reserve reduced its policy rate at three consecutive meetings as the labor market cooled. This policy backdrop helped maintain strong investor sentiment across asset classes. While easing was expected to continue into 2026, the Federal Reserve has adopted a more hawkish stance in the face of energy and supply chain shocks. The short-term interest rates market is now pricing that the next policy move will be a rate increase, possibly removing a tailwind that has aided strong risk asset performance.

 

During the same period, the Brookstone Opportunities ETF gained 14.88%, underperforming its benchmark, the Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio Index, which returned 18.08%. The underperformance was due to a heavy allocation to cash equivalents which reduced the effective duration of the fixed income portfolio compared to benchmark. Underweight equity exposure in the beginning of the period and a lack of exposure to international equities, specifically emerging market equities, also contributed to underperformance compared to the globally diversified holdings of the benchmark.

Over the same period, the Brookstone Ultra-Short Bond ETF returned 2.97%, trailing its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bills: 1–3 Months Index, which gained 4.01%. This underperformance was primarily due to Fund’s slightly longer effective duration of approximately 4 months, compared to 1.2 months for the benchmark—leaving it modestly more exposed to shifts at the very front end of the interest rate curve as interest rate policy uncertainty increased in the first half of 2026.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

From June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, U.S. equities rose 29.78%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, reflecting strong corporate execution in a shifting macroeconomic backdrop. Gains were driven by resilient corporate earnings and heavy ongoing investment into artificial intelligence and productivity-enhancing technologies, which began generating tangible revenues. Mega-cap technology and communication services firms continued to lead index performance while overall market breadth remained narrow.

 

Equities experienced brief but sharp pullbacks in February and March 2026. This volatility was triggered by the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East, which sparked global energy price spikes and renewed supply chain anxieties. However, markets quickly rebounded into May as corporate balance sheets held firm, cost pressures stabilized, and a desire for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict took hold.

 

The Federal Reserve reduced its policy rate at three consecutive meetings as the labor market continued to cool. This policy backdrop helped maintain strong investor sentiment across asset classes. While easing was expected to continue into 2026, the Federal Reserve has adopted a more hawkish stance in the face of energy and supply chain shocks. The short-term interest rate market is now pricing that the next policy move will be a rate increase, possibly removing a tailwind that has aided strong risk asset performance.

 

During the same period, the Brookstone Value Stock ETF gained 16.47%, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Value Total Return Index, which rose 22.70%. The underperformance was driven by both security selection and asset allocation effects. At the security level, key detractors included Fidelity National Information Services, Workday, Adobe, Equifax, and Paypal. From an asset allocation standpoint, overweight exposures to the Financials and Health Care sectors detracted from relative performance.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

From June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, U.S. equities rose 29.78%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, reflecting strong corporate execution in a shifting macroeconomic backdrop. Gains were driven by resilient corporate earnings and heavy ongoing investment into artificial intelligence and productivity-enhancing technologies, which began generating tangible revenues. Mega-cap technology and communication services firms continued to lead index performance while overall market breadth remained narrow. Equities experienced brief but sharp pullbacks in February and March 2026. This volatility was triggered by the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East, which sparked global energy price spikes and renewed supply chain anxieties. However, markets quickly rebounded into May as corporate balance sheets held firm and corporate cost pressures stabilized.

 

Fixed income markets also posted solid results. U.S taxable investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 5.13% for the period ended May 31, 2026. The index advanced 4.74% in the second half of 2025, supported by easing monetary policy characterized by three consecutive interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Credit-sensitive sectors, including corporate bonds and securitized assets, outperformed interest-rate-sensitive sectors due to tightening credit spreads and continued demand for yield.

 

In early 2026, the bond index rose an additional 0.39% despite increased cost pressures and uncertainty due to the Middle East conflict. Although hopes for additional policy easing from the Federal Reserve have turned into expectations of additional rate hikes in the future, high quality income remains attractive as corporate balance sheets remain strong. Overall, fixed income performance reflected the shift from falling cost pressures to heightened energy and supply chain uncertainty.

 

The Federal Reserve reduced its policy rate at three consecutive meetings as the labor market cooled. This policy backdrop helped maintain strong investor sentiment across asset classes. While easing was expected to continue into 2026, the Federal Reserve has adopted a more hawkish stance in the face of energy and supply chain shocks. The short-term interest rates market is now pricing that the next policy move will be a rate increase, possibly removing a tailwind that has aided strong risk asset performance.

 

During the same period, the Brookstone Yield ETF returned 11.56%, outperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, which gained 7.57%. The Fund’s results were enhanced by elevated equity volatility during the second half of 2025, which supported premiums from its buy-write strategies, while the benchmark gained no benefit from spikes in equity volatility.

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The Brookstone Dividend Stock ETF (“BAMD”), Brookstone Growth Stock ETF (“BAMG”), Brookstone Value Stock ETF (“BAMV”), Brookstone Intermediate Bond ETF (“BAMB”), Brookstone Ultra-Short Bond ETF (“BAMU”), Brookstone Active ETF (“BAMA”), Brookstone Opportunities ETF (“BAMO”) and Brookstone Yield ETF (“BAMY”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are each a diversified series of Northern Lights Fund Trust IV (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 2, 2015, which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. BAMB, BAMU, BAMA, BAMO and BAMY are each a “fund of funds”, in that each Fund will generally invest in other investment companies.

 

BAMD’s investment objective seeks to provide income and capital appreciation. BAMG’s and BAMV’s investment objective seeks to provide capital appreciation. BAMB’s, BAMY’s and BAMU’s investment objective seeks to provide current income. BAMA’s and BAMO’s investment objective seeks to provide total return. BAMD, BAMA, BAMO and BAMY commenced operations on September 27, 2023. BAMG, BAMV, BAMB and BAMU commenced operations on September 26, 2023.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 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. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow 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 Standards Update 2013-08.

 

Segment Reporting – An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. Each Fund’s CODM is comprised of its portfolio managers and the chief financial officer of the Trust. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each Fund’s income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of each Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

Securities Valuation – The Funds record their investments at fair value. Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation.

Valuation of Underlying Funds - The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “investment companies”). Investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values (“NAV”) as reported by such investment companies. Mutual funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value to the methods established by the board of directors of the open-end funds. Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) are valued at the last reported price or official closing price. The shares of many closed-end investment companies and ETFs, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the NAV per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company or ETF purchased by the Funds will not change.

 

The Funds may hold investments, such as private placements, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Board has designated the Funds’ adviser as its “Valuation Designee” for execution of these procedures. The adviser may also enlist third-party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value.

 

Fair Valuation Process - Applicable investments are valued pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its NAV. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid investments, such as private placements or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the Valuation Designee is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the adviser shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of a Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to

similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

 

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

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

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

 

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

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of May 31, 2026, for each Fund’s assets measured at fair value:

Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in ETFs. ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock. An index ETF represents a portfolio of securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities in which it invests, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes amortization and accretion, which is recorded using the effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for each Fund. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually to comply with distribution requirements. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

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 limits. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.

 

Federal Income Taxes – The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify each year as regulated investment companies (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and annually distributing substantially all net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the current tax year or on returns filed in previous tax years which are still open to examination by all major tax authorities (generally, federal returns are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing). The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations when incurred. During the fiscal year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds typically intend to annually distribute sufficient net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains if any, so that they will not be subject to the excise tax on undistributed income of RICs. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed annually, the Funds could incur a tax expense.

 

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable (as determined by the Board), taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.

 

Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

Market and Geopolitical Risk – The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in a Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate-change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events, tariffs and trade wars, international conflicts and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long-term effects on the U.S. financial market.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

Brookstone Asset Management, LLC serves as the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”) pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Funds and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser, the Funds pay the Adviser a fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate indicated below of each Fund’s average daily net assets. During the year ended May 31, 2026, the Adviser earned the following fees (net any fee waiver):

 

Fund   Annual Rate   Advisory Fee  
BAMD   0.65%   $ 634,885  
BAMG   0.65%     802,012  
BAMV   0.65%     645,621  
BAMB   0.65%     412,842  
BAMU   0.65%     470,340  
BAMA   0.65%     291,457  
BAMO   0.65%     251,124  
BAMY   0.65%     248,638  

 

Pursuant to a written agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Adviser has contractually agreed, until at least September 30, 2026, to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement excluding (i) any front-end or contingent deferred loads; (ii) brokerage fees and commissions; (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses; (iv) fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); (v) borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); (vi) taxes; and (vii) 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 Adviser)) will not exceed 0.95% of average daily net assets of each Fund; subject to possible recoupment from the applicable Fund in future years within three years from the date the fees have been waived or reimbursed if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits or the expense limits in place at the time of the recoupment. Fee waiver and reimbursement arrangements can decrease a Fund’s expenses and boost its performance. If the Adviser waives any fee or reimburses any expense pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and the operating expenses attributable to the Funds are subsequently less than the expense limitation, the Adviser shall be entitled to reimbursement by the applicable Fund for such waived fees or reimbursed expenses provided that such reimbursement does not cause the expenses to exceed the expense limitation. If the Funds’ operating expenses subsequently exceed the expense limitation, the reimbursements shall be suspended.

 

During the year ended May 31, 2026, the Adviser waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, in the amounts of:

 

    Fees waived     Fees recouped

Distributor – The distributor of the Funds is Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”). The Board has adopted, on behalf of the Funds, the Trust’s Master Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan as amended (the “Plan”), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay for certain distribution activities and shareholder services related to fund shares. Under the Plan, the Funds may pay 0.25% per year of the average daily net assets of fund shares for such distribution and shareholder service activities. As of May 31, 2026 the Plan has not been activated. For the year ended May 31, 2026, the Funds did not incur any distribution fees.

 

The Distributor acts as the Funds’ principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds’ shares. For the year ended May 31, 2026, there were no underwriting commissions.

 

In addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Funds as follows:

 

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”) - UFS, an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration and fund accounting services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Funds pay UFS customary fees for providing administration and fund accounting services to the Funds, which are included in administrative service fees in the Statements of Operations. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Funds for serving in such capacities.

 

Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”) - NLCS, an affiliate of UFS and the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives customary fees from each Fund, which are included in compliance officer fees in the Statements of Operations.

 

Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”) – Blu Giant, an affiliate of UFS and the Distributor, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services, as well as print management services for the Funds on an ad-hoc basis.

5. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Funds at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” Shares are created and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 10,000. Only Authorized Participants or transactions done through an Authorized Participant are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a depository trust company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per share of a Fund on the transaction date.

 

Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. In addition, the Funds may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Fund shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Funds in effecting trades. A fixed fee payable to the Custodian may be imposed on each creation and redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units involved in the transaction (“Fixed Fee”). Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for cash or involving cash-in-lieu are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate the Funds and their ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions (“Variable Charge,” and together with the Fixed Fee, the “Transaction Fees”). Transactions in capital shares for the Funds are disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. For the year ended May 31, 2026, the Funds received the following fees:

 

Fund   Variable Fees     Fixed Fees  
BAMD   $     $ 9,750  
BAMG           16,500  
BAMV           9,500  
BAMB           3,250  
BAMU           7,750  
BAMA           2,750  
BAMO           4,750  
BAMY           3,250  

 

The Transaction Fees for the Funds are listed in the table below:

 

Fee for in-Kind and Cash Maximum Additional Variable

6. UNDERLYING FUND RISK

 

Other investment companies including ETFs (“Underlying Funds”) 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 Underlying Funds and may be higher than other ETFs that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each of the Underlying Funds is subject to its own specific risks, but the Adviser expects the principal investment risks of such Underlying Funds will be similar to the risks of investing in the corresponding Funds.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

 

Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Brookstone Asset Management, LLC

 

In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Northern Lights Fund Trust IV (the “Trust”) held on January 29, 2026 (the “Meeting”), the Board discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement (the “Brookstone Advisory Agreement”) between Brookstone Asset Management, LLC (“Brookstone”) and the Trust, with respect to Brookstone Active ETF (“BAMA”), Brookstone Dividend Stock ETF (“BAMD”), Brookstone Growth Stock ETF (“BAMG”), Brookstone Intermediate Bond ETF (“BAMB”), Brookstone Opportunities ETF (“BAMO”), Brookstone Ultra-Short Bond ETF (“BAMU”), Brookstone Value Stock ETF (“BAMV”) and Brookstone Yield ETF (“BAMY”) (collectively, the “Brookstone ETFs”). In considering the renewal of the Brookstone Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Brookstone Advisory Agreement.

 

The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the renewal of the Brookstone Advisory Agreement. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Brookstone Advisory Agreement on behalf of the Brookstone ETFs and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the renewal of the Brookstone Advisory Agreement.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed the key personnel servicing Brookstone ETFs. The Board further reviewed the investment advisory services provided by Brookstone to each of the Brookstone ETFs, which included investment research, compliance, marketing and analysis. The Board observed Brookstone’s investment process, which included the utilization of an investment committee that meets monthly to review the Brookstone ETFs’ allocations to ensure consistency with investment guidelines. The Board noted that Brookstone did not report any compliance issues, regulatory examinations nor any material litigation or administration action since the last approval of the advisory agreement. The Board concluded it could expect Brookstone to continue to provide satisfactory services to the Brookstone ETFs and their shareholders.
