Fund Performance

Summary of Results

For the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, Atlas America Fund (NASDAQ: USAF) returned 6.16% at NAV. The Fund seeks to preserve purchasing power through diversified exposure to productive U.S. assets. Unlike traditional balanced portfolios, the Fund emphasizes liquid U.S. assets selected for their potential to preserve purchasing power across a range of macroeconomic environments rather than maintaining strategic allocations to broad equity and bond markets. During the period, the Fund returned 6.16%, compared with 22.34% for the S&P 500® Total Return Index and 2.74% for the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 7–10 Year Total Return Index. A comparison with the Fund's broad-based securities market index appears in the Performance section of this report.

 

Results Drivers

Persistent inflation concerns, elevated fiscal deficits, evolving interest rate expectations and heightened geopolitical uncertainty shaped markets during the fiscal year. Against this backdrop, gold and agricultural commodities were the Fund's strongest contributors to performance, reflecting continued investor demand for inflation-sensitive assets. Short-duration U.S. Treasuries, the Fund's largest allocation, continued to provide income, liquidity and reduced interest rate sensitivity, while defense and cybersecurity equities benefited from increased investment in national security and cyber resilience. REITs produced mixed results as improving operating fundamentals were offset by higher financing costs. The Fund also maintained a modest option overlay to support risk management.

 

Portfolio Positioning

The Adviser managed the portfolio using its proprietary "16 States of the World" macroeconomic framework, which dynamically allocates the portfolio among liquid U.S. asset classes based on prevailing macroeconomic conditions. At June 30, 2026, the portfolio remained invested exclusively through U.S.-listed ETFs and publicly traded REITs, with its largest allocation to short-duration U.S. Treasuries, complemented by exposures to gold, REITs, agricultural commodities, and defense and cybersecurity equities. The Fund also maintained cash to preserve liquidity and support portfolio rebalancing, while a modest option overlay continued to support the Fund's risk management objectives.

Atlas America Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2026

 

 

1. Organization

 

Atlas America Fund (the “Fund”) is a newly organized, non-diversified, separate operating series of The 2023 ETF Series Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust since January 23, 2023, that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an open-end management investment company. The Fund is managed by Atlas Capital Team Inc., an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

 

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of investments in the following asset classes: real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), investment grade fixed income securities including U.S. government securities, municipal securities, and corporate bonds, gold trusts, structured securities (also known as structured notes or commodity-linked notes), equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies, including common stocks, American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), preferred stocks, and alternative strategies which are designed to provide returns having low or negative correlation to the Fund's other portfolio holdings. The Fund commenced operations on November 20, 2024.

 

The Fund is classified as a non-diversified investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). A “non-diversified” classification means that the Fund is not limited by the 1940 Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer.

 

The Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Exchange”).

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

 

(a) 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 at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

(b) Investment Valuation

 

The Fund’s investments are valued daily at market value or, in the absence of market value with respect to any portfolio securities, at fair value. Market value prices represent readily available market quotations such as last sale or official closing prices from a national or foreign exchange (i.e., a regulated market) and are primarily obtained from third-party pricing services. Fair value prices represent any prices not considered market value prices and are either obtained from a third-party pricing service or are determined by the Valuation Committee of the Fund’s Adviser, in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, and in accordance with provisions of the 1940 Act and rules thereunder.

 

The Trust has adopted GAAP accounting principles related to fair value accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

 

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2026. for the Fund based upon three levels defined above:

 

Assets   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Exchange-Traded Funds   $ 13,776,163     $     $     $ 13,776,163

TOTAL   $ 17,063,985     $     $     $ 17,063,985  

 

(a) Represents derivative holding.

 

(c) Share Valuation

 

The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of the Fund (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities and withholdings) by the total number of shares of the Fund outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent.

 

The NAV per share of the Fund is determined as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange, generally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Any assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the Exchange, generally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, at then current exchange rates or at such other rates as deemed appropriate.

 

(d) Investment Transactions and Related Income

 

For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on the trade date. However, for daily NAV determination, portfolio securities transactions are reflected no later than in the first calculation on the first business day following trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount based on effective yield. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend Income on the Statement of Operations is shown net of any foreign taxes withheld on income from foreign securities, which are provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Dividends received from REITs generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains, and may include return of capital.

 

(e) Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Financial instruments and other assets and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of financial instruments, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from those resulting from changes in values to financial instruments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from transactions in financial instruments and foreign currencies, currency exchange fluctuations between the trade and settlement date of such transactions, and the difference between the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including financial instruments, resulting from changes in currency exchange rates. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received, capital gains on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions (a portion of which may be reclaimable). All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.

 

(f) Federal Income Tax

 

It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required as long as the Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company.

Atlas America Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

June 30, 2026

 

 

Management of the Fund has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., greater than 50%) 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. In general, tax positions taken in previous tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities (generally three years for federal income tax purposes). The determination has been made that there are not any uncertain tax positions that would require the Fund to record a tax liability and, therefore, there is no impact to the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund did not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.

 

(g) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund pays out dividends from its net investment income annually and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to investors at least annually. The Fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distributions requirement of the Code, in all events in a manner consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act. There are distributions to shareholders paid for the year ended June 30, 2026.

 

The amount of distributions 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 either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital and distribution reclassifications), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and straddles) do not require a reclassification.

 

(h) Indemnification

 

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund may enter into contracts that contain representations and that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum liability exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as future claims that have not yet occurred may be made against the Fund.

 

(i) Options

 

The Fund is authorized to write and purchase put and call options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires (or the Fund enters into a closing transaction), the Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received). 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. Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.

 

(j) Derivative Instruments

 

The Fund has adopted authoritative standards of accounting for derivative instruments which establish enhanced disclosure requirements. These standards improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures that enables investors to understand how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect the Fund’s financial position and results of operations. The Fund uses derivative instruments as part of its principal investment strategies to seek to achieve its investment objective.

 

At June 30, 2026, the fair value of the equity derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is shown as an asset for Options Purchased in the amount of $255,365 included within Investments at Fair Value and a liability for Options Written, at value in the amount of $57,970.

 

Transactions in equity derivative instruments during the year ended June 30, 2026 is shown on the Statement of Operations as a Realized Gain from Options Written of $310,205 and a Realized Loss from Options Purchased of $(274,786). The Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the equity derivative instruments is shown on the Statement of Operations as change in net unrealized depreciation on Options Written of $(30,310) and change in net unrealized appreciation on Options Purchased of $121,922, included within change in net unrealized appreciation on investments.

 

For the year ended June 30, 2026, the average volume of the derivatives opened by the Fund was $26,721 for Options Written and $94,913 for Options Purchased. The amounts disclosed represent the average market value for Options Written and Options Purchased, based on absolute values, which is indicative of volume of this derivative type, for the months that the Fund held such derivatives during the fiscal period.

3. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

(a) Investment Advisory and Administrative Services

 

Atlas Capital Team Inc. (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment advisor to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”). For such investment advisory services, the Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser a unitary advisory fee payable at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser bears all of its own costs associated with providing services to the Fund.

 

Under the investment advisory agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses incurred by the Fund except for the advisory fee; interest charges on any borrowings; taxes; brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments; proxy and shareholder meeting expenses (unless the need for a shareholder meeting is caused by the Adviser, such as a change of control of the Adviser); fees and expense related to the provision of securities lending services; acquired fund fees and expenses; taxes, including accrued deferred tax liability; legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation, or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; extraordinary expenses (as mutually determined by the Board and the Adviser); and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

 

(b) Distribution Arrangement

 

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) that allows the Fund to pay distribution fees to Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) and other firms that provide distribution services (“Service Providers”). Under the Distribution Plan, if a Service Provider provides distribution services, the Fund would pay distribution fees to the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distributor would, in turn, pay the Service Provider out of its fees. The Board currently has determined not to implement any 12b-1 fees pursuant to the Plan. 12b-1 fees may only be imposed after approval by the Board.

 

(c) Other Servicing Agreements

 

The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as Administrator, Custodian, Accounting Agent and Transfer Agent for the Fund.

 

4. Investment Transactions

 

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments, for the year ended June 30, 2026 were as follows:

 

Fund   Purchases     Sales  
Atlas America Fund   $ 7,162,976     $ 8,606,287  

 

Purchases and sales of in-kind transactions for the year ended June 30, 2026 were as follows:

 

Fund   Purchases     Sales  
Atlas America Fund   $ 5,141,235     $ 5,429,294  

 

5. Capital Share Transactions

 

Fund Shares are listed and traded on the Exchange each day that the Exchange is open for business (“Business Day”). The Fund’s Shares may only be purchased and sold on the Exchange through a broker-dealer. Because the Fund’s Shares trade at market prices rather than at its NAV, Shares may trade at a price equal to NAV, greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).

 

The Fund issues and redeems its shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Fund Shares may only be purchased from or redeemed directly from the Fund by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). 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. Creation Units are available for purchase and redemption on each Business Day and are offered and redeemed on an in-kind basis, together with the specified cash amount, or for an all cash amount.

 

To the extent contemplated by a Participant Agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed by the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, by the time as set forth in a Participant Agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the market value as set forth in the Participant Agreement. A Participant Agreement may permit the Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of the Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral.

Atlas America Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

June 30, 2026

 

 

Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the Shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker, which will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

 

A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee may be imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units, and investors will be required to pay a creation transaction fee regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction. The Fund may adjust the creation transaction fee from time to time based upon actual experience. In addition, a variable fee may be imposed for cash purchases, non-standard orders, or partial cash purchases of Creation Units. The variable fee is primarily designed to cover non-standard charges, e.g., brokerage, taxes, foreign exchange, execution, market impact, and other costs and expenses, related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction. The Fund may adjust the non-standard charge from time to time based upon actual experience. Investors who use the services of an Authorized Participant, broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services which may include an amount for the creation transaction fee and non-standard charges. Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the deposit securities to the account of the Trust. The Adviser may retain all or a portion of the transaction fee to the extent the Adviser bears the expenses that otherwise would be borne by the Trust in connection with the issuance of a Creation Unit, which the transaction fee is designed to cover. The standard Creation Unit transaction fees for Atlas America Fund is $200, regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction.

 

A redemption transaction fee may be imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units, and Authorized Participants will be required to pay a redemption transaction fee regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction. The redemption transaction fee is the same no matter how many Creation Units are being redeemed pursuant to any one redemption request. The Fund may adjust the redemption transaction fee from time to time based upon actual experience. In addition, a variable fee, payable to the Fund, may be imposed for cash redemptions, non-standard orders, or partial cash redemptions for the Fund. The variable fee is primarily designed to cover non-standard charges, e.g., brokerage, taxes, foreign exchange, execution, market impact, and other costs and expenses, related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction. Investors who use the services of an Authorized Participant, broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services which may include an amount for the redemption transaction fees and non-standard charges. Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the Fund’s securities to the account of the Trust. The non-standard charges are payable to the Fund as it incurs costs in connection with the redemption of Creation Units, the receipt of the Fund’s securities and the cash redemption amount and other transactions costs. The standard redemption transaction fees for Atlas America Fund is $200, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed in the transaction.

 

6. Federal Income Taxes

 

At June 30, 2026, the effect of permanent book/tax reclassifications resulted in an increase/(decrease) to the components of net assets as follows:

 

Fund   Distributable
earnings (loss)
    Paid-in
Capital
 
Atlas America Fund   $ (846,796 )   $ 846,796  

 

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to redemption in-kind sales.

 

The tax character of distributions paid during the year were as follows:

 

Fund   Ordinary
Income*
    Long - Term
Capital
Gains
    Return of

The differences between book and tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily due to wash sales, option mark-to-market, and grantor trust basis adjustments.

 

At June 30, 2026, for Federal income tax purposes, the Fund has capital loss carryforwards available as shown in the table below, to the extent provided by regulations, to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period.

7. Risk Factors

 

With all ETFs, shareholders of the Fund are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Fund is subject to the principal risks, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return, and ability to meet its investment objectives. A description of principal risks is included in the Fund’s prospectus under the heading “Principal Investment Risks”.

 

8. Segment Reporting

 

In 2025, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund’s financial position or its results of operations. The intent of ASU 2023-07 is, through improved segment disclosures, to enable investors to better understand an entity's overall performance and to assess its potential future cash flows.

 

The President and Chief Executive Officer acts as the Fund’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments, Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.

 

9. Subsequent Events

 

In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Trust has concluded that there are no subsequent events to note.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

 

To the Shareholders of Atlas America Fund and Board of Trustees of The 2023 ETF Series Trust:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Atlas America Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The 2023 ETF Series Trust, as of June 30, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from November 20, 2024 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from November 20, 2024 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

 

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. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2024.
