Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.
A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Ms. Michele Rackey, Ms. Anne Kritzmire and Mr. Craig Wainscott are the “audit committee financial experts” and are considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant including the review of federal income tax returns, review of federal excise tax returns, review of state tax returns, if any, and assistance with calculation of required income, capital gain and excise distributions. There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
| FYE 7/31/2026 | FYE 7/31/2025 | |
| (a) Audit Fees | $17,500 | $17,500 |
| (b) Audit-Related Fees | N/A | N/A |
| (c) Tax Fees | $3,600 | $3,600 |
| (d) All Other Fees | N/A | N/A |
(e)(1) The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.
(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Tait, Weller, & Baker LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
| FYE 7/31/2026 | FYE 7/31/2025 | |
| Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
| Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
| All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
(f) N/A
(g) The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.
| Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 7/31/2026 | FYE 7/31/2025 |
| Registrant | N/A | N/A |
| Registrant’s Investment Adviser | N/A | N/A |
(h) The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
(i) The registrant has not been identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or completely investigate because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.
(j) The registrant is not a foreign issuer.

|
A. |
Security Valuation:
All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3. |
|
B. |
Federal Income
Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income
or excise tax provision is required. |
|
C. |
Security Transactions,
Income and Distributions: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. |
|
D. |
Reclassification
of Capital Accounts: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of
net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect
on net assets or net asset value per share. |

|
E. |
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. |
|
F. |
REITs:
The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds
available from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in
the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. The Fund intends to include the gross dividends from such
REITs in their annual distributions to its shareholders and, accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s distributions may also be designated
as a return of capital. |
|
G. |
Foreign Currency:
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 to U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. |
|
H. |
Segment Reporting:
The Fund operates as a single reportable segment. The Fund’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, which are comprised of the Chief Compliance
Officer and Co-Managers of the Fund, regularly review the Fund’s financial results presented in the financial statements and financial
highlights in assessing the Fund’s performance and allocating resources. |
|
I. |
Events Subsequent
to the Fiscal Year End: In preparing the financial statements as of July 31, 2026, management considered the impact of subsequent
events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Management has determined there were no subsequent events
that would need to be disclosed in the Fund’s financial statements. |
|
Level 1 – |
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or 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 on 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 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. |

Equity Securities
Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes or changes in a company’s
financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies,
sectors or industries selected for the |
|
|
|
13 |
|
|
|
• |
Economic and
Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the
likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.
Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial
market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); deflation (or expectations
for deflation); interest rates; market instability; financial system instability; debt crises and downgrades; embargoes; tariffs; sanctions
and other trade barriers; regulatory events; other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition,
the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental
disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics. The imposition by the U.S.
of tariffs on goods imported from foreign countries and reciprocal tariffs levied on U.S. goods by those countries also may lead to volatility
and instability in domestic and foreign markets. |
|
• |
Value Style
Investing Risk. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other funds that use different
investing styles. Value stocks may be purchased based upon the belief that a given security may be out of favor; that belief may be misplaced
or the security may stay out of favor for an extended period of time. |
|
• |
Large-Sized
Companies Risk. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes
in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. In addition, large-cap companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth
rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. |
|
• |
Small- and
Medium-Sized Companies Risk. Small- and medium-sized companies often have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines,
markets, distribution channels or financial resources and the management of such companies may be dependent upon one or few key people.
The market movements of equity securities of small- and medium-sized companies may be more abrupt and volatile than the market movements
of equity securities of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general and small-sized companies in particular, are
generally less liquid than the equity securities of larger companies. |
|
• |
Sector Risk.
To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in the same sector of the market,
the Fund is more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory and other occurrences influencing those sectors. |
|
• |
REITs and Foreign
Real Estate Company Risk. Investing in REITs and foreign real estate companies makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated
with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general, as well as tax compliance risks, and may involve duplication
of management fees and other expenses. REITs and foreign real estate companies may be less diversified than other pools of securities,
may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. |
|
• |
Management
Risk. The Fund is an actively managed portfolio. The Advisor’s management practices and investment strategies might not work
to meet the Fund’s investment objective. |
|
• |
Depositary
Receipts Risk. The Fund’s equity investments may take the form of sponsored or unsponsored depositary receipts. Holders of
unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear all the costs of such facilities and the depositary of an unsponsored facility frequently
is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through
voting rights to the holders of such receipts of the deposited securities. |
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
|
• |
Foreign Securities
and Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of investing in the securities of foreign issuers, including depositary receipts, can include
fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in securities
regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. These risks are greater in emerging markets. |
|
• |
Investment
Company Risk. When the Fund invests in an ETF or mutual fund, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the
ETF’s or mutual fund’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF
or mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF or mutual fund holds. The Fund also will incur
brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs. |
|
• |
Frontier Markets
Risk. There is an additional increased risk of price volatility associated with frontier market countries (pre-emerging markets),
which may be further magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar. Frontier market countries generally have smaller
economies or less developed capital markets than in more advanced emerging markets and, as a result, the risks of investing in emerging
market countries may be magnified in frontier market countries. |
