NOTES TO PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS

July 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

 

Note 1 Valuation

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the 1290 Funds (the “Trust”) is primarily responsible for overseeing that appropriate valuation methods are used to price securities and other investments for each series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) of the Trust. Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires funds to value their portfolio investments using: (i) the market value of their portfolio securities when market quotations are “readily available” and (ii) the investment’s fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board, when a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or if the investment is not a security. Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”) permits the Board to designate a “valuation designee” to perform the fair value determinations for any and all Fund investments, subject to Board oversight and certain other requirements designed to facilitate the Board’s ability to effectively oversee fair value determinations. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board designated Equitable Investment Management, LLC, the Trust’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), as the Funds’ valuation designee. As the Funds’ valuation designee, the Adviser is responsible for determining fair value in good faith for any and all Fund investments. The Adviser has adopted pricing procedures (“Pricing Procedures”) to establish methods for valuing portfolio securities and other investments held by the Trust and its respective Funds, in accordance with Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act and Rule 2a-5. The Board has delegated the responsibility of calculating the net asset values (“NAVs”) of each of the Trust’s Funds and classes pursuant to these Pricing Procedures to the Trust’s administrator, Equitable Investment Management, LLC (the “Administrator”). The Administrator has entered into a sub-administration agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Sub-Administrator”), to assist in performing certain duties, including the calculation of the Funds’ NAVs. The valuation designee has established a valuation committee (the “Committee”) with day-to-day responsibility for, among other things, determining when market values for assets held by the Trust are not readily available, determining the fair value of any such asset and making the actual calculation of the fair value of any such asset in accordance with the Pricing Procedures. The Committee is comprised of senior employees from the Adviser.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of the valuation of securities for which market quotations are not readily available, the fair value of such securities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels below:

 

  •  

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

 

  •  

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

  •  

Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A summary of inputs used to value each Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of July 31, 2026, is included in the Portfolio of Investments for each Fund. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level.

Transfers into and transfers out of Level 3, are included in the Level 3 reconciliation following the Portfolio of Investments for each Fund, if any. Transfers between levels may be due to a decline, or an increase, in market activity (e.g., frequency of trades), which may result in a lack of, or increase in, available observable market inputs to determine price.

The inputs or methodology used to fair value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Committee has the ability to meet and review reports based on the valuation techniques used to fair value Level 3 securities. As part of a review, the Committee would consider obtaining updates from its pricing vendors and Sub-Advisers for fair valued securities. For example, with respect to model driven prices, the Committee could receive reports regarding a review and recalculation of pricing models and related discounts. For those securities which are valued based on broker quotes, the Committee may evaluate variances between existing broker quotes and any alternative broker quotes provided by a Sub-Adviser or other pricing source.

To substantiate unobservable inputs used in a fair valuation, the Committee may perform an independent verification as well as additional research for fair value notifications received from the pricing agents. Among other factors, particular areas of focus may include: description of security, historical pricing, intra-day price movement, last trade information, corporate actions, related securities, any available company news and announcements, any available trade data or other information. The Committee also notes the materiality of holdings and price changes on a Fund’s NAV.

The Committee reviews and considers changes in value for all fair valued securities that have occurred since the last review.

Events or circumstances affecting the values of Fund securities that occur between the closing of their principal markets and the time the NAV is determined may be reflected in the Trust’s calculation of a NAV for each applicable Fund when the Committee deems

that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s NAV.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments:

Derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments must be disclosed separately from those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Even though the Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to achieve an economic hedge, the Fund’s derivatives are not accounted for as hedging instruments because the Funds account for their derivatives at fair value and record any changes in fair value in current period earnings. All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each respective Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
