How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

Overview: For the year ended June 30th, 2026 the S&P 500 posted healthy gains of 22.32%. The year was remarkably similar to the previous year ended June 30th, 2025. For most of the 12 months the S&P 500 marched upwards, setting record highs based upon strong corporate earnings and enthusiasm about A.I. However, both periods were interrupted by turmoil driven by policy disruption. In April 2025 it was the tariffs of “Liberation Day”, in February 2026 it was “Operation Epic Fury” and the Iran war. In both cases the markets sold off sharply but recovered quickly. Over this same year ended June 30th, 2026, the Fund's Class A shares had a return of 13.52%. Compared to the S&P 500’s 22.32%, this represents a capture ratio of 61%, on the higher end of expectations for a hedged equity fund during a strong bull market.

 

Core Equity: The Fund's core equity allocation, which typically comprises approximately 90% of its holdings, is invested in ETFs that track the S&P 500 Index and S&P 500 sectors. This segment of the portfolio returned 21.27% over the past year, performing in line with expectations given the market environment.

 

Hedge: The Fund hedges its equity exposure through the use of put options. Because put options generally move inversely to the equity market, the hedge allocation is expected to generate negative returns during periods of strong market appreciation, such as when the S&P 500 is reaching new all-time highs. Over the past 12 months, the hedge allocation returned -5.74%, a result consistent with its intended role within the portfolio. The benefits of the hedge were demonstrated during the market volatility surrounding the start of the Iran war. As part of its disciplined risk management process, the Fund re-established its hedge in December 2025 by purchasing put options with an average 7,300 strike price. When the S&P 500 declined below 6,500 in March, these options appreciated, helping offset equity losses. During the selloff, the Fund experienced a peak-to-trough decline of -5.29%, compared with the S&P 500's maximum drawdown of -8.89%.As equities subsequently recovered and advanced to new all-time highs, the value of the put options declined, as expected. With the S&P 500 closing at 7,499 on June 30, the Fund's put options remain well positioned to provide meaningful downside protection should market volatility return.

 

Additional Trades: The Fund also engages in shorter-term premium collection strategies designed to help offset the carrying costs of its hedge positions. These strategies generally perform best during periods of relatively low market volatility. With the exception of Operation Epic Fury, the market environment was mostly favorable to these types of trades and this segment of the Fund generated positive returns of 43 basis points over the year ended June 30th, 2026.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

Overview: The Fund typically purchases put options that are “out of the money” rather than “in the money.” While this approach provides less immediate downside risk mitigation - requiring the market to decline further before the put options begin to offset losses - it also allows the Fund to capture more upside during rising markets. As markets experienced significant swings over the past year, this tradeoff played out largely as expected, with the Fund participating more fully in market advances while providing downside mitigation after more meaningful declines. For the year ended June 30th, 2026, the Fund's Class A shares had a return of 15.61%. Compared to the S&P 500’s return of 22.32%, this equates to a capture ratio of 70%. This is on the higher end of expectations for the Fund.

 

Core Equity: The S&P 500-based ETFs and the call spread trades representing the core equity exposure tracked the market down and up over the last year, posting a 23.40% return. Call spreads are a trade that can augment upside capture if the markets rally. With a strong bull market as a tailwind, the call spread trades pushed the core equity performance above and beyond the 22.32% return of the S&P 500.

 

Hedge: The Fund completed its annual re-hedge process and entered 2026 with put option hedges that were out of the money, carrying an average strike price of 6,980. During the market selloff in March, driven by the Iran war, the S&P 500 declined below 6,500, causing the Fund's put options to move slightly “in the money” and appreciate in value. However, as markets subsequently recovered and advanced, the value of the put options declined. Over the one-year ended June 30, 2026, the Fund's hedge allocation returned -5.16%, reflecting the cost of maintaining downside protection during a period in which the market ultimately rebounded to new highs.

 

Additional Trades: The third component of the Fund consists of shorter-term option strategies designed to generate premium income and help offset the carrying costs of the Fund's hedge positions. These strategies generally perform best in relatively stable market environments. However, the sharp increase in volatility during March 2026, including the market's rapid decline followed by an equally swift recovery, created a particularly challenging backdrop. The Fund eked out a small gain of 10 basis points over the year ended June 30, 2026.

As markets experienced significant swings over the past year, this tradeoff played out largely as expected, with the Fund participating more fully in market advances while providing downside mitigation after more meaningful declines. For the year ended June 30th, 2026, the Fund's Class C shares had a return of 14.76%. Compared to the S&P 500’s return of 22.32%, this equates to a capture ratio of 66%. This is in-line with expectations for the Fund.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

Overview: The Fund typically purchases put options that are “out of the money” rather than “in the money.” While this approach provides less immediate downside risk mitigation - requiring the market to decline further before the put options begin to offset losses - it also allows the Fund to capture more upside during rising markets. As markets experienced significant swings over the past year, this tradeoff played out largely as expected, with the Fund participating more fully in market advances while providing downside mitigation after more meaningful declines. For the year ended June 30th, 2026, the Fund's Class I shares had a return of 15.99%. Compared to the S&P 500’s return of 22.32%, this equates to a capture ratio of 72%. This is on the higher end of expectations for the Fund.

 

Core Equity: The S&P 500-based ETFs and the call spread trades representing the core equity exposure tracked the market down and up over the last year, posting a 23.40% return. Call spreads are a trade that can augment upside capture if the markets rally. With a strong bull market as a tailwind, the call spread trades pushed the core equity performance above and beyond the 22.32% return of the S&P 500.

 

Hedge: The Fund completed its annual re-hedge process and entered 2026 with put option hedges that were out of the money, carrying an average strike price of 6,980. During the market selloff in March, driven by the Iran war, the S&P 500 declined below 6,500, causing the Fund's put options to move slightly “in the money” and appreciate in value. However, as markets subsequently recovered and advanced, the value of the put options declined. Over the one-year ended June 30, 2026, the Fund's hedge allocation returned -5.16%, reflecting the cost of maintaining downside protection during a period in which the market ultimately rebounded to new highs.

 

Additional Trades: The third component of the Fund consists of shorter-term option strategies designed to generate premium income and help offset the carrying costs of the Fund's hedge positions. These strategies generally perform best in relatively stable market environments. However, the sharp increase in volatility during March 2026, including the market's rapid decline followed by an equally swift recovery, created a particularly challenging backdrop. The Fund eked out a small gain of 10 basis points over the year ended June 30, 2026.
