How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

The S&P 500 and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index both fell during the 1st quarter of 2026 ( 4.3% and  0.1%, respectively), yet all the TOPS portfolios delivered positive returns for investors. As the S&P 500 rebounded +15.2% in the 2nd quarter, the TOPS portfolios had a very strong quarter as well, leading to particularly strong performance for the equity-centric TOPS models versus the S&P 500’s return of +10.2% YTD.

Year-to-date, small cap (S&P Small Cap 600 Total Return Index) leads at +23.9%, followed by mid cap (S&P MidCap 400 Total Return Index) at +17.3%.

TOPS® Managed Risk ETF Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2026

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The TOPS® Managed Risk ETF Portfolios (each a “Portfolio”, collectively the “Portfolios”) are comprised of three different actively managed portfolios. Each Portfolio is a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Variable Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized on November 2, 2005 under the laws of the State of Delaware and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Portfolios are intended to be funding vehicles for variable annuity contracts and flexible premium variable life insurance policies offered by the separate accounts of various insurance companies. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Portfolio in which shares are held. Each Portfolio pays its own expenses. The Portfolios are “fund of funds”, in that the Portfolios will generally invest in other investment companies. The investment objective of each Portfolio is as follows:

 

Portfolio Primary Objective
   
Managed Risk Balanced ETF Portfolio Income and capital appreciation with less volatility than the fixed income and equity markets as a whole.
   
Managed Risk Moderately Aggressive ETF Portfolio Capital appreciation with less volatility than the equity markets as a whole.
   
Managed Risk Moderate ETF Portfolio Capital appreciation with less volatility than the equity markets as a whole.

 

The Portfolios currently offer five classes of shares: Class 1 Shares, Class 2 Shares, Class 3 Shares, Class 4 Shares, and Investor Class Shares. Each class of shares of the Portfolios has identical rights and privileges except with respect to arrangements pertaining to shareholder servicing or distribution, class-related expenses, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares. The Portfolios’ share classes differ in the fees and expenses charged to shareholders. The Portfolios’ 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.

 

Effective August 18, 2023, each class of shares of each Portfolio underwent a reverse share split in the following ratios:

 

Portfolio Reverse Share Split Ratio
Managed Risk Balanced ETF Portfolio 3 for 1
Managed Risk Moderately Aggressive ETF Portfolio 2 for 1
Managed Risk Moderate ETF Portfolio 5 for 1

 

The effect of the reverse share split decreased the number of shares outstanding for each of the Portfolios listed by a split factor shown above, with a corresponding increase in the net asset value (“NAV”) per share. This event does not impact the overall net assets of each class. The share activity presented in the Statements of Changes and the per share data presented in the Financial Highlights have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse share split.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Portfolios have adopted FASB ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (“Topic 280”) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Portfolios’ financial position or the results of their operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 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 Portfolios’ CODM is comprised of the portfolio managers and Chief Financial Officer of the 

31

 

TOPS® Managed Risk ETF Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

Trust. The Portfolios operate as a single operating segment. The Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

Operating Segments – The Portfolios have adopted FASB ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (“Topic 280”) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Portfolios’ financial position or the results of their operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 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 Portfolios’ CODM is comprised of the portfolio managers and Chief Financial Officer of the Trust. The Portfolios operate as a single operating segment. The Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

Accounting Pronouncement – The Portfolios adopted the FASB ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements and modifies or eliminates certain existing disclosure provisions. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are intended to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information and to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Portfolios’ adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on their financial statements.

 

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 primary 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 (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on the day of valuation. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. Futures and future options are valued at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation.

 

Valuation of Funds of Funds – The Portfolios may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Open-end investment companies 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 based on the methods established by the boards of directors or trustees of the open-end investment companies.

 

The Porfolios may hold investments, 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 investments are valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Board has designated the adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to execute these procedures. The Board 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 the Valuation Designee 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 asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that affects the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Portfolio’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 a Portfolio’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.

 

Each Portfolio 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios did not hold any Level 2 or 3 securities during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

* Refer to the Schedule of Investments for security classifications.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. 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 and distributions from net realized capital gains if any, are declared and paid annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary ( e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards) 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. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results from operations or net asset values per share of the Portfolios.

 

Federal Income Tax – It is each Portfolio’s policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code 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 is required.

Each Portfolio will recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Portfolios’ tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2025 or expected to be taken in the Portfolios’ December 31, 2026 year-end tax return. Each Portfolio identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolio makes significant investments. The Portfolios are 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.

 

Futures Contracts – The Portfolios are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios may purchase or sell futures contracts to hedge against market risk and to reduce return volatility. During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, a Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Portfolio’s basis in the contract. If a Portfolio were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Portfolio would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to a Portfolio since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

TOPS® Managed Risk ETF Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

June 30, 2026

 

Exchange Traded Funds – The Portfolios may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). An ETF is a type of open-end fund, however, unlike a mutual fund, its shares are bought and sold on a securities exchange at market price and only certain financial institutions called authorized participants may buy and redeem shares of the ETF at net asset value. ETF shares can trade at either a premium or discount to net asset value. Each ETF like a mutual fund is subject to specific risks depending on the type of strategy (actively managed or passively tracking an index) and the composition of its underlying holdings. Investing in an ETF involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the ETF’s underlying holdings. ETFs pay fees and incur operating expenses, which reduce the total return earned by the ETFs from their underlying holdings. An ETF may not achieve its investment objective or execute its investment strategy effectively, which may adversely affect a Portfolio’s performance.

 

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnities. Each Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Portfolios expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

 

Security Loans – The Portfolios have entered into a securities lending arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Borrower”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Portfolios are authorized to loan securities to the Borrower. In exchange, the Portfolios receive cash and securities as collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments as noted in the Schedules of Investments. Securities received as collateral are U.S. government securities; securities received as collateral, if any, are not recognized as portfolio assets. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Portfolios could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the Borrower fails to return them.

 

Gain or loss in the fair value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of each Portfolio. Each Portfolio has the right under the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the Borrower on demand. If the fair value of the collateral falls below 102% plus accrued interest of the loaned securities, the lender’s agent shall request additional collateral from the Borrower to bring the collateralization back to 102%. Under the terms of the securities lending agreement, each Portfolio is indemnified for such losses by the security lending agreement. Should the Borrower fail financially, the Portfolios have the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

ValMark Advisers, Inc. serves as the Portfolios’ investment advisor (the “Advisor”). The Advisor has engaged Milliman Financial Risk Management, LLC as the Portfolios’ sub-advisor (the “Sub-Advisor”). Pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Trust, the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios pay the Advisor a management fee, computed on average daily net assets and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.30% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and Sub-Advisor, on behalf of the Portfolios, the Advisor, not the Portfolios, pays the Sub-Advisor a fee, which is computed and accrued daily and paid monthly. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Portfolios paid the following in advisory fees:

 

Portfolio   Advisory Fees  
Managed Risk Balanced ETF Portfolio   $ 89,627  
Managed Risk Moderately Aggressive ETF Portfolio     252,268  
Managed Risk Moderate ETF Portfolio     158,241  

 

The Trust, with respect to the Portfolios, has adopted the Trust’s Master Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) for each of Class 2 shares, Class 3 shares, Class 4 shares, and Investor Class shares. The fee is calculated at an annual rate of 0.25%, 0.35%, 0.60%, and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to each Portfolio’s Class 2 shares, Class 3 shares, Class 4 shares, and Investor Class shares, respectively, and is paid to Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) to provide compensation for ongoing shareholder servicing and distribution related activities and/or maintenance of each Portfolio’s shareholder accounts, not otherwise required to be provided by the Advisor.

Pursuant to the terms of an administrative servicing agreement with UFS, each Portfolio pays to UFS a monthly fee for all operating expenses of the Portfolio, which is calculated by each Portfolio on its average daily net assets. Operating expenses include but are not limited to Fund Accounting, Fund Administration, Transfer Agency, Legal Fees, Audit Fees, Compliance Services, Shareholder Reporting Expense, Trustees fees and Custody Fees.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the trustees received fees in the amount $11,111 on behalf of each Portfolio.

Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“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.

Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”), an affiliate of UFS and the Distributor, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Portfolios on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from UFS under the administrative servicing agreement.

 

The Trust engages an insurance broker affiliated with UFS for the purposes of assisting the Trust in obtaining its insurance policies.

 

5. CONTROL OWNERSHIP

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

 

The table below represents aggregate cost for federal tax purposes for the Portfolios as of June 30, 2026 and differs from market value by net unrealized appreciation/depreciation which consisted of:

 

                      Tax Net  
    Cost for                 Unrealized  
    Federal Tax     Unrealized     Unrealized     Appreciation/

The tax character of the Portfolios distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 was as follows:

 

For the year ended December 31, 2025:            
    Ordinary        
    Income     Total  
Managed Risk Balanced ETF Portfolio   $ 1,584,778     $ 1,584,778  
Managed Risk Moderately Aggressive ETF Portfolio     3,437,004       3,437,004  
Managed Risk Moderate ETF Portfolio     2,564,542       2,564,542  
                 
For the year ended December 31, 2024:            
    Ordinary        
    Income     Total  
Managed Risk Balanced ETF Portfolio   $ 1,519,747     $ 1,519,747  
Managed Risk Moderately Aggressive ETF Portfolio     3,841,717       3,841,717  
Managed Risk Moderate ETF Portfolio     2,583,439       2,583,439  

 

As of December 31, 2025, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

    Undistributed     Capital Loss     Unrealized     Total  
    Ordinary     Carry     Appreciation/     Accumulated  
    Income     Forwards     (Depreciation)     Earnings/(Deficits)  
Managed Risk Balanced ETF Portfolio   $ 1,549,942     $ (4,564,556 )   $ 5,169,679     $ 2,155,065  
Managed Risk Moderately                                
Aggressive ETF Portfolio     3,133,268       (5,188,083 )     35,669,873       33,615,058  
Managed Risk Moderate ETF                                
Portfolio     2,454,854       (11,295,005 )     14,570,487       5,730,336  

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis accumulated net realized gains/losses, and unrealized appreciation/ depreciation from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the mark-to-market treatment of Section 1256 futures contracts.
