How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

Winton Capital Management Limited replaced Altegris Advisors LLC as the Investment Adviser of the Winton Managed Futures Trend Fund (the “Fund”) on 28 October 2025. Prior to 28 October 2025, the Fund’s name was Altegris Futures Evolution Strategy Fund. From 31 October 2011 to 27 October 2025, the Fund allocated a portion of assets under management to a managed futures portfolio advised by Winton Capital Management Limited, with the remainder allocated to other advisers.

The fund returned +19.44% between 01 July 2025 and 30 June 2026 for investors in the Class A shares, on which the performance analysis below is based.

The outbreak of conflict in the Middle East at the end of February disrupted global financial and commodity markets: oil prices spiked, bond yields climbed on expectations of an inflationary impulse, and equities sold off in the ensuing risk-off environment. Subsequent de-escalation reversed some of these moves, leaving commodity prices off their peaks, though the S&P GS Commodity Index still gained +30.4% over the year. Global equity markets rebounded strongly, the MSCI World Index returning +21.3% over the year, while the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index had a more muted return of 0.6% as the disinflation narrative was complicated. The US Dollar index rose by 4.5%, with the US dollar acting as a ‘safe haven’ and strengthening against other developed market currencies.

Against this backdrop, precious metals accounted for most of the fund’s positive performance. Gold and silver both reached new highs as prices surged through January, and the fund profited from long positioning in both markets. Base metals also added to returns, with copper a notable contributor in the sector as prices rose on short-term supply constraints and resilient demand. Currencies contributed positively, led by short exposure to the Japanese yen, which hit a 40-year low against the US dollar towards the end of June. Equity indices and energies contributed further gains. Whipsawing market behaviour weighed on returns from fixed income, however.

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The Winton Managed Futures Trend Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 19, 2005, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long term capital appreciation. The Fund commenced operations on October 31, 2011.

 

Prior to October 28, 2025, The Fund’s name was Altegris Futures Evolution Fund and was Advised by Altegris Advisors, L.L.C.

 

The Fund offers Class A and Class I shares. Class A shares are offered at net asset value (“NAV”) plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Investors that purchase $1,000,000 or more of the Fund’s Class A shares will not pay any initial sales charge on the purchase. However, purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) on shares redeemed during the first 18 months after their purchase of up to 1.00% (the amount of the commissions paid on the shares redeemed). Class I shares of the Fund are sold at NAV without an initial sales charge and are not subject to 12b-1 distribution fees but have a higher minimum initial investment than Class A shares. Each share class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class. The Fund’s Class C shares converted to Class A shares on May 1st, 2026.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund operates as an investment company and accordingly follows the Investment Company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies, including Accounting Standards Update 2013.08. The preparation of the 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 income and expenses for the period ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Operating Segments – 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. The Fund’s CODM is comprised of the portfolio managers and Chief Financial Officer of the Trust. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The 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 the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

Security Valuation – 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. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Futures shall be valued at the final settlement price (typically at 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time) on the valuation date. Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued by reference to the forward foreign exchange rate corresponding to the remaining life of the contract. Options are valued based on the daily price reported from the counterparty or pricing agent. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars

using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value).

 

Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “underlying funds”). Underlying open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The underlying 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 by the methods established by the boards of the underlying funds.

 

The Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, 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 using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Valuation Designee may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, approval of which shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.

 

Fair Valuation Process – The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee 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 ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask 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; and (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 the Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. 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 securities, such as private investments 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 a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee 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 the 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 Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its 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 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 in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

13

 

Winton Managed Futures Trend Fund
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2026

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s 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 table summarizes the inputs used as of June 30, 2026 for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

 

Assets *   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Short-Term Investments   $ 17,336,873     $     $     $ 17,336,873

* Refer to the Schedule of Investments for security classification.

 

Amounts shown for futures and forwards are unrealized appreciation/depreciation.

 

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities as of June 30, 2026.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. 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.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually, prior to October 28, 2025 income was declared and paid monthly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) 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.

 

Federal Income Taxes – It is the Fund’s policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been recorded.

The Fund recognizes tax benefits only for tax positions where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on returns filed for all open tax years (2023-2025) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2026 tax return. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments; however, 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 twelve months.

 

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a particular fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, 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 Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

 

Consolidation of Subsidy –The Consolidated Schedules of Investments, Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Fund includes the accounts of WMFT Fund Limited which is a wholly-owned and controlled foreign subsidy. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”), which acts as an investment vehicle in order to affect certain investments consistent with the Fund investment objectives and policies.

 

A summary of the Funds investment in its respective CFC is as follows:

 

  Inception Date of     CFC Net Assets as of     % of Total Assets as of  
  CFC     June 30, 2026     June 30, 2026  
  10/28/2025     $ 4,054,901     18.41%  

 

For tax purposes, the CFCs are exempted Cayman investment companies. The CFCs have received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting them from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the CFCs are controlled foreign corporations which generates and are allocated no income which is considered effectively connected with U.S. trade of business and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned controlled foreign corporation, the CFCs net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the respective Fund’s investment company taxable income.

 

In accordance with its investment objectives and through their exposure to the aforementioned managed futures programs, each Fund may have increased or decreased exposure to one or more of the following risk factors defined below:

 

Futures Contracts – The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts. The Fund does not intend to engage in these transactions for speculative purposes but only in furtherance of its investment objective. Upon entering into a futures contract, and to maintain the Fund’s open positions in futures contracts, the Fund is required under the 1940 Act to maintain collateral with its custodian or futures broker in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, suitable money market instruments, or other liquid securities, known as “initial margin.” The margin required for a particular futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded, and may be significantly modified from time to time by the exchange during Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such

15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2026

 

receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

 

Forward Exchange Contracts – The Fund may enter into foreign exchange contract as a part of their investment strategy. When executing forward contracts, the Fund is obligated to buy or sell foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future. With respect to sales of forwards contracts, the Fund would incur a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The Fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates. With respect to purchases of forward contracts, the Fund would incur a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The Fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. The Fund is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of changes in value of the underlying financial instruments. The Fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward contracts, which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract..

 

Foreign Currency – All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations for realized gain and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.

 

Option Transactions – When the Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. The Fund invests in options which are not traded on an exchange. In doing so, it is assuming a credit risk with regard to the party with which it trades and also bears the risk of settlement default. These risks may differ materially from risks associated with transactions effected on an exchange, which generally are backed by clearing organization guarantees, daily mark-to-market and settlement, segregation and minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries. Relying on a counterparty exposes the Fund to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a transaction in accordance with its terms and conditions because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem, thus causing the Fund to suffer a loss. If a counterparty defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, this default will cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. In addition, to the extent the Fund deals with a limited number of counterparties, it will be more susceptible to the credit risks associated with those counterparties. The Fund is neither restricted from dealing with any particular counterparty nor from concentrating any or all of its transactions with one counterparty. The ability of the Fund to transact business with any one or number of counterparties and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement may increase the potential for losses by the Fund. The Fund had held a fully funded options with Nomura Securities (Bermuda), Ltd. The options provided an exposure to the daily returns of a reference asset on a 1 to 1 basis. The reference assets for the options were Cayman commodity pools engaged in the trading of futures and forward foreign exchange contracts. According to the terms of the option, the Adviser could increase or decrease this exposure on a daily basis. The Fund paid an upfront premium of 1.10% per annum, which was charged based on the contract year. The upfront premium was paid quarterly and was accrued daily over the contract period. The option contracts were initially entered into as of August 16, 2017, and had a two year valuation period, which could be extended or reduced to zero at any time. Based on the terms of the call option agreement, the Fund amortized the option premiums on a straight-line basis on a quarterly period with the unamortized balance due from the counterparty (paid back to the Fund) in the case of a decreasing exposure or full exercise subject to an early exercise fee. The option was closed on October 29, 2025. For the year ended June 30, 2026, $18,921 of option premiums was amortized.

 

Other Investment Companies or Exchange Traded Funds – Prior to October 28, 2025, The Fund invested in shares of affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including money market mutual funds, other mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). An ETF generally is an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or a

16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

portfolio of securities deposited with a depository in exchange for depository receipts. ETFs provide investors the opportunity to buy or sell throughout the day an entire portfolio of securities in a single security. Although index mutual funds are similar to index-based ETFs, they are generally sold and redeemed only once per day at market close. The ETFs in which a Fund invests may be subject to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the sale of the security at an advantageous time or price. To the extent that the ETFs in which a Fund invests hold securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations or securities with substantial market risk, they will have a greater exposure to liquidity risk. In addition, ETFs are subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds that can be found in “Exchange-Traded Funds” below: (1) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to their net asset value; (2) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally. Additionally, ETFs have management fees, which increase their cost. In addition to the advisory and operational fees a Portfolio bears directly in connection with its own operation, the Portfolio also bears its pro rata portion of the advisory and operational expenses incurred indirectly through investments in other investment companies.

 

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

 

For the year ended June 30, 2026, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments and derivatives, amounted to the following:

 

Purchases     Sales  
$     $ 20,910,441  

 

During the normal course of business, the Fund purchases and sells various financial instruments, which may result in market, counterparty and liquidity risks, the amount of which is not apparent from the financial statements.

 

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, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions.

 

Counterparty Risk – The Fund may enter into various types of derivative contracts as described below in this section under “Derivatives Risk”. Many of these derivative contracts will be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market. These contracts involve exposure to credit risk, since contract performance depends in part on the financial condition of the counterparty. If a privately negotiated over-the-counter contract calls for payments by the Fund, the Fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if a counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the Fund may not receive payments owed under the contract, or such payments may be delayed under such circumstances and the value of agreements with such counterparty can be expected to decline, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

 

Liquidity Risk – Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations.

 

Leverage Risk – The Fund, directly or indirectly via the CFC’s investments, will use derivatives to increase its long and short exposure creating leverage, which can magnify the Fund’s potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. The Fund’s use of swap contracts or futures contracts involves indirect leverage because swap contract payments are based upon notional value rather than the amount invested. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

Winton Capital Management Limited serves as the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”). Prior to October 28, 2025, Altegris Advisors, L.L.C. (“Predecessor Advisor”) was the Fund’s investment Advisor

 

Pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Advisor, the Fund pays the Advisor a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at an annual rate of 1.00%. Prior to October 28, 2025 the Fund paid the Predecessor Advisor a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets computed at the following annual rates: 1.15% on the first $1 billion, 1.05% on net assets greater than $1 billion and less than or equal to $1.5 billion, 0.95% on net assets greater than $1.5 billion and less than or equal to $2 billion and 0.90% on net assets greater than $2 billion.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2026, the Advisor and the Predecessor Advisor received advisory fees of $162,358 and $104,771, respectively.

 

Pursuant to a written agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”) the Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least until October 31, 2027, to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads; brokerage fees and commissions; acquired fund fees and expenses; fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); taxes; expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization; and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) will not exceed the amounts below (the “Expense Limitation”). The Board may terminate the Waiver Agreement at any time upon 60 days’ notice to the Advisor.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2026

 

During the year ended June 30, 2026, the Advisor and the Predecessor Advisor waived $240,622 and $102,775, respectively pursuant to the Waiver Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the advisor can recapture $240,622 through June 30, 2029.

 

If the Advisor waives any fee or reimburses any expense pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and a Fund’s operating expenses are subsequently lower than its respective Expense Limitation, the Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund provided that such reimbursement does not cause the Fund’s operating expense to exceed the respective Expense Limitation. If the Fund’s operating expenses subsequently exceed the respective expense limitation, the reimbursement for the Fund shall be suspended. The Advisor may seek reimbursement only for expenses waived or paid by it during the three years prior to such reimbursement; provided, however, that such expenses may only be reimbursed to the extent they were waived or paid after the date of the Waiver Agreement (or any similar agreement).

 

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted the Trust’s Master Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plans for Class A and Class C shares (the “Plans”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans provide that a monthly service and/or distribution fee is calculated by the Fund at an annual rate of 0.25% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class C shares, respectively. These fees are paid to Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) to provide compensation for ongoing distribution-related activities and/or maintenance of the Fund’s shareholder accounts, not otherwise required to be provided by the Advisor. During the year ended June 30, 2026, pursuant to the Plans, the Fund incurred the following:

 

12b-1 Fees
Class A   $ 9,221  
Class C     11,892  

 

The Distributor acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares. During the year ended June 30, 2026, the Distributor received underwriting commissions for sales of Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The amounts of underwriting commissions received from the Fund and retained by the Distributor was $0 and $0 for Class A and Class C, respectively.

 

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

 

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”): UFS, an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Fund pays UFS customary fees for providing administration, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the Fund. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving in such capacities. UFS provides a Principal Executive Officer and a Principal Financial Officer to the Trust.

 

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 the Fund.

 

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 Fund on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from the Fund.

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

 

The tax character of Fund distributions paid for the following years was as follows:

 

    Fiscal Year Ended     Fiscal Year Ended  
    June 30, 2026     June 30, 2025  
Ordinary Income   $ 2,377,802     $ 3,818,809  
Long-Term Capital Gain            
Return of Capital            
    $ 2,377,802     $ 3,818,809

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments, and accumulated net investment income (loss) is primarily attributable to the mark-to-market on open Section 1256 and forward foreign currency contracts.

$ 9,396,808     $ 25,935,873     $ 35,332,681     $ 631,966  

 

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to differences in book and tax treatment of controlled foreign corporations held through the options issued from Nomura and accumulated losses from the Fund’s wholly-owned subsidiary [CFC] resulted in reclassifications for the Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, as follows:

 

Paid In     Accumulated  
Capital     Deficit  
$ 278,777     $ (278,777 )

7. UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

 

The Fund currently invests a portion of its assets in another investment company. The Fund may redeem their investment from the investment company at any time if the Advisor determines that it is in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders to do so. The performance of the Fund will be directly affected by the performance of the First American Government Obligations Fund Class X. The financial statements of the Fund, including the portfolio of investments, can be found at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website www.sec.gov and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of Northern Lights Fund Trust and the Shareholders of Winton Managed Futures Trend Fund:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Winton Managed Futures Trend Fund, formerly known as Altegris Futures Evolution Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting the Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements and financial highlights”). In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights 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, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. 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 audit 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
