| (Buffered Shield ) |
| * | Prior to November 1, 2025 Warrington Asset Management, LLC served as the Funds Sub-Advisor |
Welton Advantage and Aspect Enhanced are non-diversified series of the Trust. All other Funds are diversified series of the Trust. Aspect Enhanced, Hedged Equity, Millburn Hedge, and Buffered Shield are fund of funds, in that they generally invest in other investment companies.
Currently, each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class I shares and Millburn Hedge also offers Class C-1 shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the applicable Fund, and the 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 following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-08.
a) 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 entitys 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 Funds CODM is comprised of the portfolio managers and Chief Financial Officer of the Trust. Each Fund operate as a single operating segment. Each Funds 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 Funds, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
b) Securities 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 last bid price on the day of valuation. Debt securities including Bank Loans (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and based on methods which include the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type. The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end (the open-end funds) or closed-end (the closed-end funds) investment companies. Open-end funds 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 directors of the open-end funds. The shares of many closed-end funds, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value 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 funds purchased by the Funds will not change. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost, provided each such valuation represents fair value. Options are valued at their closing price on the exchange they are traded on. When no closing price is available, options are valued at their mean price. Futures, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the settlement price determined by the exchange. Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or at fair value based on daily price reporting from the swap counterparty issuing the swap. Foreign currency and forward currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the London Stock Exchange close each day.
In some circumstances, instead of valuing securities in the usual manner, the Funds may value securities at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor as valuation designee, pursuant to the Rule 2a-5 procedures (the Procedures) approved by the Board. The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a securitys fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security. Fair value may also be used by the Board if extraordinary events occur after the close of the relevant world market but prior to the NYSE close.
Each Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value 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 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.

| (a) | Refer to the Schedule of Investments for security details. |
| (b) | Amounts shown for swaps, futures and forwards are unrealized appreciation/depreciation. |
| (c) | In accordance with Subtopic 820-10, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amount presented in this table is intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. |
c) Accounting for Options – The Funds are subject to equity price risks in the normal course of pursuing their investment objective and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against risk. When the Funds write a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the purchase cost of the underlying security is reduced by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Funds have no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retain the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

Certain Funds may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in a Funds portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit a Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by a Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to a Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to a Fund, the benefits realized by a Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into options contracts are satisfied by the deposits of cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Funds agent in acquiring the options). For the year ended June 30, 2026, Systematic High Income, Hedged Equity and Buffered Shield invested in options.
Futures Contracts – Each Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts. A Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of equities, interest rates, commodities or foreign currencies. Upon entering into a contract, a Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, a 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 receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains and losses. When the contract is closed, a 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. As collateral for futures contracts, a Fund is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the market value of the purchase obligation for long futures contracts or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract, but not less than the market price at which the futures contract was established, for short futures contracts. For the year ended June 30, 2026, Welton Advantage, Aspect Enhanced, Hedged Equity and Millburn Hedge invested in futures.
Swap Agreements – Systematic Alpha and Systematic High income have entered into swap transactions for investment purposes. These would be two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments.
The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a basket of securities representing a particular index or market segment. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations by marking to market on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Funds amortize upfront payments and/or accrues for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount recorded as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. The Funds segregate liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of their current obligation under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized appreciation to be received from the counterparty over the contracts remaining life, to the extent that that amount is positive.
Forward Currency Contracts – A Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as an investment strategy consistent with that Funds investment objective. As foreign securities are purchased, a Fund generally enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and 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. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Operations.

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 Funds do 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.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries – CSACS Fund Limited (Systematic – CFC) , CWAMSF Fund Limited (Welton Advantage-CFC), CAEMAF Fund Limited (Aspect Enhanced – CFC), CMHSF Fund Limited (Millburn-CFC) (the CFCs, and each a CFC or a Subsidiary). 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 Funds include the accounts of Systematic Alpha, Welton Advantage, Aspect Enhanced, and Millburn Hedge which include the accounts of Systematic-CFC, Welton Advantage-CFC, Aspect Enhanced-CFC, and Millburn-CFC respectively, which all are wholly-owned and controlled foreign subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Each of Systematic Alpha, Welton Advantage, Aspect Enhanced and Millburn Hedge may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its respective CFC, which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Funds investment objectives and policies.
A summary of each Funds investment in its respective CFC is as follows:
| Inception Date of | CFC Net Assets as of | % of Net Assets as of | |
| CFC | June 30, 2026 | June 30, 2026 | |
| Systematic Alpha – CFC | 12/19/2017 | 28,533,886 | 24.18% |
| Welton Advantage – CFC | 7/1/2024 | 5,090,917 | 11.05% |
| Aspect Enhanced – CFC | 12/28/2023 | 5,139,062 | 15.18% |
| Millburn Hedge– CFC | 11/2/2015 | 1,745,712,657 | 16.46% |
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 generate 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 Funds 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:
Market Risk – Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Funds. The market values of securities or other investments owned by the Funds will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, exchange rates and political events affect the securities markets. Changes in market conditions and interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. Unexpected local, regional or global events and their aftermath, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; tariffs and trade wars; climate change and climate-related events; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; recessions and depressions; or other tragedies, catastrophes and events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to a Funds net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. Such events can cause investor fear and panic, which can adversely affect the economies of many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
Derivatives Risk – The use of derivative instruments, such as forwards, futures, options and swaps, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that
68
| CATALYST FUNDS |
| NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
| June 30, 2026 |
the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: changing supply and demand relationships; government programs and policies; national and international political and economic events, changes in interest rates, inflation and deflation and changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities.
Commodity Risk – Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Counterparty Risk – Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument held by the Fund or by a special purpose or structured vehicle invested in by the Fund may become insolvent or otherwise fail to perform its obligations, and the Fund may obtain no or limited recovery of its investment, and any recovery may be significantly delayed.
Credit Risk – Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk – Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Swaps Risk – Swaps are subject to tracking risk because they may not be perfect substitutes for the instruments they are intended to hedge or replace. Over the counter swaps are subject to counterparty default. Leverage inherent in derivatives will tend to magnify a Funds losses. The costs of investing in swaps will be indirectly paid by a Fund.
Volatility Risk – Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instruments price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instruments price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Risk – By investing in the Subsidiary, a Fund is indirectly exposed to the commodities risks associated with the Subsidiarys investments in commodity-related instruments. Shareholders of a Fund are indirectly subject to the principal risks of the Subsidiary by virtue of a Funds investment in the Subsidiary. There can be no assurance that the Subsidiarys investments will contribute to a Funds returns. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of a Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this Prospectus and could adversely affect a Fund, such as by reducing the Funds investment returns. The Fund and the Subsidiary are commodity pools under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, and the Advisor is a commodity pool operator registered with and regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). As a result, additional CFTC-mandated disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping obligations apply with respect to a Fund and the Subsidiary and subject each to CFTC penalties if reporting was found to be deficient.

d) Investment Companies – Aspect Enhanced, Hedged Equity, Millburn Hedge and Buffered Shield concentrate their investments in exchange traded funds (ETFs) and, therefore, are more susceptible to ETF risk. Some Funds may invest in other investment companies, including closed-end funds and ETFs. ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities, 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.
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 mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each of the underlying funds is subject to its own specific risks, but the Advisor and/or sub-advisor expect the principal investments risks of such underlying funds will be similar to the risks of investing in the Funds.
e) Federal Income Tax – The Funds have qualified and/or intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies and to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required.
As of and during the year ended June 30, 2026, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expense. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax expense as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. As required, the Trust officers have analyzed the Funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years or periods ended 2023-2025 for the Funds) or expected to be taken in 2026 and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in these financial statements. The tax filings are open for examination by applicable taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service. No examinations of the Funds filings are presently in progress.
f) Security Transactions and Investment Income – Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the
74
| CATALYST FUNDS |
| NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
| June 30, 2026 |
net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized over their respective lives using the effective interest method except certain callable debt securities that are held at premium and will be amortized to the earliest call date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds understanding of the applicable countrys tax rules and rates. Distributions received from a Funds investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record these distributions as investment income and subsequently adjusts these distributions within the components of net assets based upon their tax treatment when the information becomes available.
g) Multiple Class Allocations – Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative net assets. Distribution fees are charged to each respective share class in accordance with the distribution plan.
h) 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, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.
i) Distribution to Shareholders - Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The following table summarizes each Funds intended dividend and capital gain declaration policy:
| Fund | Income Dividends | Capital Gains | ||
| Systematic High Income | Monthly | Annually | ||
| Systematic Alpha | Monthly | Annually | ||
| Welton Advantage | Annually | Annually | ||
| Aspect Enhanced | Annually | Annually | ||
| Hedged Equity | Annually | Annually | ||
| Millburn Hedge | Annually | Annually | ||
| Buffered Shield | Annually | Annually |
j) Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies.
k) 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.
l) Redemption Fees and Sales Charges (loads) – A wire transfer fee of $15 may be charged to defray custodial charges for redemptions paid by wire transfer. A maximum sales charge of 5.75% is imposed on Class A shares of the Funds. Investments in Class A shares made at or above the $1 million breakpoint (where you do not pay an initial sales charge) may be subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on shares redeemed within two years of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions). A CDSC of 1.00% is imposed on Class C-1 shares for certain redemption transactions within one year following such investments. The respective shareholders pay such CDSC charges, which are not an expense of the Funds. For the year ended June 30, 2026, there were no CDSC fees paid by the shareholders of the Funds.
m) Forward Exchange Contracts – Millburn Hedge and Aspect Enhanced have entered into a foreign exchange contract agreement with Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank as a part of their investment strategy. When executing forward contracts, each Fund is obligated to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future. With respect to sales of forwards contracts, each 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. Each Fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates. With respect to purchases of forward contracts, each Fund would incur a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward
75
| CATALYST FUNDS |
| NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
| June 30, 2026 |
contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. Each Fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. Each Fund is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of changes in value of the underlying financial instruments. Each 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.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Trust does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from the changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, forward exchange contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the companys books 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 fair values of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
n) Cash – The Funds consider their investments in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Funds maintain cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high quality financial institution.
o) Distributions from REITS — Distribution from REITs are initially recorded as dividend income and, to the extent such represent a return of capital or capital gain for tax purposes, are reclassified when such information becomes available.

| (3) | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
The Advisor acts as investment advisor for the Funds pursuant to the terms of an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Funds (the Investment Advisory Agreement). Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor directs the investment operations of the Funds in accordance with each Funds respective investment policies and restrictions. Except for Systematic Alpha, each Funds investment sub-advisor is responsible for the day-to-day operations of its portfolios. The Advisor provides the Funds with investment advice and supervision and furnishes an investment program for the Funds. For its investment advisory services, the Funds pay to the Advisor, as of the last day of each month, an annualized fee as shown in the below table, such fees to be computed daily based upon daily average net assets of the Funds. The sub-advisors are paid by the Advisor, except in the case of Millburn Hedge, whose sub-advisor is paid by the Fund on behalf of the Advisor.
The Advisor and the Trust, with respect to the Funds have entered into Expense Limitation Agreements (the Expense Limitation) under which the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain total annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs, such as (a) interest and (b) dividends on securities sold short; taxes;

underlying fund expenses; and extraordinary expenses such as regulatory and litigation expenses) do not exceed the limitation shown in the table below, and is based on the Funds average daily net assets.
For the year ended June 30, 2026, the Advisor waived advisory fees. The Advisor may recapture a portion of the waived amounts. The Advisor may seek reimbursement only for fees waived or expenses reimbursed by a Fund within the three years following the date the waiver and/or reimbursement was incurred, if the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the limitation in effect at that time of the waiver or at the time of the reimbursement, no later than the dates as stated below:

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gains (losses) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market on swaps, non-equity options, future contracts and forward foreign currency contracts, tax adjustments for C-Corporations, partnerships, foreign tax pass-through basis adjustments, and straddles. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above may include unrealized foreign currency gains (losses).
Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The following Funds incurred and elected to defer such late year losses as follows:

During the fiscal period ended June 30, 2026, certain of the Funds utilized tax equalization which is the use of earnings and profits distributions to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax basis treatment of net operating losses, the use of tax equalization credits and accumulated losses from the Funds wholly owned subsidiaries, resulted in reclassifications for the Funds for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 as follows:

| (6) | LINE OF CREDIT |
The Funds have a $200,000,000 uncommitted line of credit provided by U.S. Bank National Association (the Bank) under an agreement (the Uncommitted Line). Any advance under the Uncommitted Line is contemplated primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Interest on borrowings is payable on an annualized basis. The Uncommitted Line has an interest rate of the Prime Rate with a maturity of January 20, 2027. The Uncommitted Line is not a committed line of credit, which is to say that the Bank is not obligated to lend money to the Funds. Accordingly, it is possible that the Funds may wish to borrow money for a temporary or emergency purpose but may not be able to do so. During the year ended June 30, 2026, Welton Advantage, Aspect Enhanced, and Millburn Hedge did not access the line of credit. The Funds accessed the line of credit, based only on the days borrowed, as follows:

| (8) | SECURITIES LENDING |
The Funds have entered into a Securities Lending Agreement (Agreement) with the Bank. Each participating Fund can lend their securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. Loans are collateralized at a value at least equal to 105% of the then current market value of any loaned security that are foreign, or 102% of the then current market value of any other loaned security. All interest and dividend payments received on securities which are held on loan, provided that there is no material default, will be paid to the respective Fund. A portion of the income generated by the investment in the Funds collateral, net of any rebates paid by the Bank to the borrowers is remitted to the Bank as lending agent and the remainder is paid to the Fund(s).
Securities lending income, if any, is disclosed in the Funds Statements of Operations and is net of fees retained by the counterparty. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the Borrower fails to return them. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, each Fund has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities lending transactions are overnight and continuous.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds 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 Funds 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, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Funds auditor since 2023.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Consideration and Renewal of the Advisory Agreement between Catalyst Capital Advisors, LLC and Mutual Fund Series Trust with respect to Catalyst Systematic Alpha Fund, Catalyst Systematic High Income Fund, Catalyst Buffered Shield Fund, Catalyst/Millburn Hedge Strategy Fund, Catalyst Nasdaq-100 Hedged Equity Fund, Catalyst Insider Buying Fund, Catalyst Energy Infrastructure Fund, Catalyst/MAP Global Equity Fund, Catalyst/MAP Global Balanced Fund, Catalyst Tactical Allocation Fund, Catalyst Dynamic Alpha Fund, Catalyst Insider Income Fund, Catalyst/SMH High Income Fund, Catalyst/SMH Total Return Income Fund, Catalyst/CIFC Senior Secured Income Fund, Catalyst Enhanced Income Strategy Fund, Catalyst/Aspect Enhanced Multi-Asset Fund, and Catalyst Welton Advantage Multi Strategy Fund.
In connection with a meeting held on May 13, 14, and 27, 2026, the Board of Trustees (the Board) of Mutual Fund Series Trust (the Trust), including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of the advisory agreement (the Catalyst Agreement) between the Trust and Catalyst Capital Advisors, LLC (Catalyst) with respect to Catalyst Systematic Alpha Fund (Catalyst SA), Catalyst Systematic High Income Fund (Catalyst SHI) , Catalyst Buffered Shield Fund (Catalyst Shield), Catalyst/Millburn Hedge Strategy Fund (Millburn HS), Catalyst Nasdaq-100 Hedged Equity Fund (Catalyst HE), Catalyst Insider Buying Fund (Catalyst IB), Catalyst Energy Infrastructure Fund (Catalyst Energy), Catalyst/MAP Global Equity Fund (MAP Global Equity), Catalyst/MAP Global Balanced Fund (MAP Global Balanced), Catalyst Tactical Allocation Fund (Catalyst TA), Catalyst Dynamic Alpha Fund, (Catalyst DA), Catalyst Insider Income Fund (Catalyst Insider), Catalyst/SMH High Income Fund (SMH High Income), Catalyst/SMH Total Return Income Fund (SMH Total Return), Catalyst/CIFC Senior Secured Income Fund (CIFC SSI) Catalyst Enhanced Income Strategy Fund (Catalyst EIS), Catalyst/Aspect Enhanced Multi-Asset Fund (Aspect EMA), and Catalyst/Welton Advantage Multi-Strategy Fund (Welton AMS) (collectively, the Catalyst Funds).
The Board examined Catalysts responses to a series of questions regarding, among other things, its advisory services provided to the Catalyst Funds, comparative fee and expense information, and profitability from advising the Catalyst Funds. The Board was assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process and relied upon the advice of legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Catalyst Agreement 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 renewal of the Catalyst Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed Catalysts officers, compliance record, and reviewed the key personnel servicing the Catalyst Funds, noting their expertise and years of experience. The Board considered that Catalyst provided oversight of the sub-advisors for many of the Catalyst Funds while also providing portfolio management services for some Catalyst Funds, oversaw each sub-advisors compliance and risk management programs, and analyzed and reviewed portfolio risks. The Board acknowledged that Catalyst served as the Rule 2a-5 valuation designee for the Catalyst Funds and continuously monitored liquidity requirements to ensure compliance with Rule 22e-4. The Board discussed Catalysts compliance program, and the observations of the Trusts chief compliance officer related to the program. The Board noted that Catalyst coordinated with third-party service providers

on matters related to fund management, administration, and accounting. The Board recognized that Catalyst also provided valuation support, management of the derivatives risk management program, proxy voting and reporting, and other critical operational and regulatory functions. The Board agreed that the advisor was appropriately focused on risk management which was beneficial to the Catalyst Funds and their respective shareholders. The Board concluded that Catalysts services to the Funds were comprehensive, and the quality of service met the Boards expectations.
Performance. The Board reviewed the performance for each Catalyst Fund in relation to its peer group, Morningstar category and benchmark index.
Catalyst SA: The Board discussed that Catalyst SA outperformed the supplemental index for the 1-year period but underperformed all other benchmarks during the 1-year period and all benchmarks for the 3-year period. The Board noted that Catalyst SA outperformed the Morningstar category for the 5-year period and outperformed the peer group and Morningstar category for the 10-year periods. The Board noted that the advisor attributed Catalyst SAs recent underperformance to dramatic price swings across equities, interest rates, and commodities. The Board recognized that the 10-year performance numbers contained the performance data from the prior strategy, which was significantly different than the current strategy.
Catalyst SHI: The Board reviewed that Catalyst SHI underperformed all benchmarks for all time periods. The Board recognized that Catalyst SHI changed portfolio managers and investment strategy in late 2025. The Board noted that Catalyst SHIs new investment strategy differed from the predecessor investment strategy.
Catalyst Shield: The Board observed that Catalyst Shield outperformed the peer group average for 1-year period but underperformed the Morningstar category. The Board noted that Catalyst Shield outperformed the Morningstar Category and peer group for the 3- and 10-year periods but underperformed both for the 5-year period. The Board noted Catalyst Shield underperformed the S&P 500 benchmark index for all time periods. The Board discussed that the advisor attributed the 1-year underperformance to the long equity bias of the equity hedge which lagged in the recent market conditions.
Millburn HS: The Board reviewed that Millburn HS trailed all benchmarks for the 1- and 3-year periods but outperformed the peer group average for the 5- and 10-year periods. The Board observed that Millburn HS Morningstar category, the Multi-Asset Leveraged category, was introduced in October of 2025 and did not yet provide return information. The Board noted that the Adviser explained that the Fund had performed as expected with strong positive returns during prolonged bear market environments such as 2022. The Board recognized that Millburn HS underperformed the S&P 500 for all periods, but that Millburn HS was not designed to track the S&P 500, because it was not fully allocated to equity securities.
Catalyst HE: The Board observed that Catalyst HE outperformed the peer group but trailed the Morningstar category for the 1-year period.

The Board observed that Catalyst explained that Catalyst HEs hedging strategy detracted from performance.
Catalyst IB: The Board discussed that Catalyst IB outperformed the Morningstar category for the 3-year period but trailed all other benchmarks for all other time periods. The Board noted that Catalyst explained that the recent underperformance in comparison to the S&P 500 was because, in general, executives had not purchased company stock in the top performing equity securities combined with the negative performance from the macro hedge overlay, and that the long term underperformance was still materially impacted as a result of Catalyst IBs defensive positioning in March and April 2020 where the Fund missed a significant portion of the post Covid-19 recovery in the U.S. equity market.

In connection with a meeting held on May 13, 14, and 27, 2026, the Board of Trustees (the Board) of Mutual Fund Series Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of a sub-advisory agreement (the Exceed Agreement) between Catalyst Capital Advisors, LLC (Catalyst) and Exceed Advisory LLC (Exceed) with respect to Catalyst Buffered Shield Fund (Catalyst Shield).
The Board examined Exceeds responses to a series of questions regarding, among other things, its sub-advisory services provided to Catalyst Shield, comparative fee and expense information, and profitability from sub-advising Catalyst Shield. The Board was assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process and relied upon the advice of legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Exceed Agreement 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 renewal of the Exceed Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board observed that Exceed utilized internal software and controls to monitor compliance related matters for Catalyst Shield, including sector exposure and to ensure it met diversification and concentration requirements. The Board discussed that Exceed provided the research and analysis for investment decisions and executed trades on behalf of Catalyst Shield. The Board noted that Exceed used a proprietary investment methodology to make investment decisions and manage Catalyst Shields risk. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Exceed to Catalyst Shield was satisfactory.
Performance. The Board reviewed that Catalyst Shield outperformed the peer group average for 1-year period but underperformed the Morningstar category. The Board noted that Catalyst Shield outperformed the Morningstar Category and peer group for the 3- and 10-year periods but underperformed both for the 5-year period. The Board noted Catalyst Shield underperformed the S&P 500 benchmark index for all time periods but recognized that Exceed attributed the 1-year underperformance to the long equity bias of the equity hedge which lagged in the current market.
Fees and Expenses. The Board observed that Exceed received a maximum sub-advisory fee of 0.675%, or 50% of the net advisory fee paid to Catalyst. The Board discussed the fee split between Catalyst and Exceed in relation to the responsibilities of each party and concluded that the sub-advisory fee received by Exceed for Catalyst Shield was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board observed that Exceed sub-advised Catalyst Shield at a loss and therefore excessive profitability was not a concern.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Catalyst Shield had reached the size where Exceed benefited from economies of scale. The Board acknowledged economies of scale was an issue primarily considered by the Board when evaluating the advisory agreement. The Board agreed that, based on the current level of assets for Catalyst Shield, it was unlikely that Exceed was benefitting from any meaningful economies of scale.
