HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
The Elm Market Navigator ETF delivered performance of 9.29% (NAV) since inception through September 30, 2025 and a six-month return of 11.42%. Performance from January 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025 was 12.28% (NAV), which includes performance of the legacy portfolio prior to the commencement of the ETF on February 10, 2025.
The first half of 2025 showcased Dynamic Index Investing’s responsiveness. ELM entered the year with reduced equity exposure, which proved fortuitous ahead of Liberation Day and the sharp global equity selloffs driven by trade and inflation concerns. Following the market turbulence, ELM’s rules-based approach increased equity exposure as markets stabilized and reversed, with allocations rising substantially through Q2. In stark contrast, Q3 demonstrated the strategy’s discipline during calm markets—virtually no material changes occurred to US equity, non-US equity, or fixed income weights throughout the quarter, avoiding unnecessary trading when conditions remained stable. This combination of responsiveness when needed and stability when appropriate illustrates how Dynamic Index Investing navigates varying market environments.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM SINCE INCEPTION?*
The $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the class of shares noted. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses, such as management fees were deducted.

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
ORGANIZATION
Series
Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated July 27, 2015.
The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment
company. The Elm Market Navigator ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series having its own investment objectives and policies
within the Trust. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term, risk-adjusted growth of capital. The Fund is an actively managed
exchange traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks its investment objective by using Dynamic Index Investing®, a proprietary,
rules-based asset allocation methodology designed by Elm Partners Management LLC (the “Adviser”). Investment advisory services
are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (see Note 3). The Adviser is responsible for
providing management oversight, investment advisory services, day-to-day management of the Fund’s assets, as well as compliance,
sales, marketing, and operations services to the Fund. All organizational costs incurred to establish the Fund and enable it to legally
do business were borne by the Adviser and are not subject to reimbursement by the Fund.
The
Fund commenced operations on February 10, 2025 by acquiring substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Elm Partners Portfolio
LLC, an unregistered private investment fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), in a tax-free reorganization in which investors in
the Predecessor Fund received shares of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund had an investment objective and investment policies that were,
in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund commenced operations on December 30, 2011.
The
Fund offers a single class of shares. The Fund is considered an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting
and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”)
Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Fund does not hold itself out
as related to any other series of the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor does it share the same investment adviser
with any other series of the Trust. The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
|
A.
|
Investment
Valuation – The following is a summary of the Fund’s pricing procedures. It is intended to be a general discussion
and may not necessarily reflect all the pricing procedures followed by the Fund. Fixed income securities, including short-term debt instruments
having a maturity of less than 60 days, are valued, at the evaluated mean price between the bid and asked prices in accordance with prices
supplied by an approved Pricing Service. Pricing Services may use various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical
pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. In the absence of a price from a Pricing Service, Fair Value will
be determined. These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
Investments
in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange traded funds, are valued at their reported
net asset values (“NAV”). To the extent these securities are valued at their NAV per share, they are categorized in Level 1
of the fair value hierarchy.
The
Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Fund and its Valuation Designee
(as defined below) in calculating the Fund’s NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has designated the Adviser
as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities
that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary
determinations of the fair values of the portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or
if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers, dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
The
Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a
hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional

September

disclosures
about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation
techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are
summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
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.
The
inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The
following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s securities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September

As
of the period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities, nor were there any transfers into or out of
Level 3. Refer to the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for further information on the classification of investments.
|
B.
|
Cash and Cash
Equivalents – The Fund considers highly liquid short-term fixed income investments purchased with an original maturity of
less than three months and money market funds to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are included in short term investments on the Schedule
of Investments as well as in investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary cash overdrafts are reported as a payable
to custodian. |
|
C.
|
Guarantees
and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain
general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims
that may be made against the Fund that has not yet occurred. |
|
D.
|
Security Transactions,
Income and Amortization – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized
gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date and interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in
accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Discounts and premiums on
securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities using the constant yield method. Interest income
is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method.
|
|
E.
|
Allocation
of Expenses – Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that Fund. Common Trust expenses are typically
allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust or by other equitable means. |

|
F.
|
Share Valuation
– The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash
or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund,
rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund’s shares will not be priced on days which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)
is closed for trading. |
|
G.
|
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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
H.
|
Statement
of Cash Flows – Pursuant to the Cash Flows Topic of the Codification, the Fund qualifies for an exemption from the requirement
to provide a statement of cash flows and has elected not to provide a statement of cash flows. |
3.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The
Trust has an agreement with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement
between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, a unified management fee (accrued daily) based
upon the average daily net assets of the Fund at the annual rate of 0.22%.
The
Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee so that the effective rate of the management fee is 0.20%, instead
of 0.22%, of the Fund’s average daily net assets through February 10, 2026. This waiver may not be terminated without the approval
of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). This waiver should not be construed to be a permanent reduction of the
management fees of the Adviser. The Adviser has waived its right to receive reimbursement of the portion of its management fees waived
pursuant to this management fee waiver agreement.
Under
the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund except for interest charges on any borrowings,
dividends, and other expenses on securities sold short; taxes; brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for
the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments; acquired fund fees and expenses; accrued deferred tax liability;
extraordinary expenses; distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under
the 1940 Act, and the unified management fee payable to the Adviser (collectively, the “Excluded Expenses”).
The
Advisory Agreement continues in effect for an initial two year period, and from year to year thereafter only if such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually by the Board or by vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities and by a majority of
the Independent Trustees, who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or interested persons of any such party, in each case cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Advisory Agreement. The Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty by
the Trust on behalf of a Fund on not more than 60 days’, nor less than 30 days’, written notice to the Adviser when authorized
either by a majority vote of the Fund’s shareholders or by a vote of a majority of the Trustees, or by the Adviser on not more than
60 days’ written notice to the Trust, and will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” (as defined
in the 1940 Act). The Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser shall not be liable under such agreement for any error of judgment
or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of portfolio transactions
for the Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder.
U.S.
Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”)
acts as the Fund’s Administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as the
custodian to the Fund. The Custodian is an affiliate of the Administrator. The Administrator performs various administrative and accounting
services for the Fund. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Fund; prepares
reports and materials to be supplied to the Board; monitors the activities of the Fund’s custodian; coordinates the payment of the
Fund’s expenses and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals. The officers of the Trust, including the Chief Compliance Officer,
are employees of the Administrator. A trustee of the Trust is an officer of the Administrator. As compensation for its services, the Administrator
is entitled

to
a monthly fee at an annual rate based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund, subject to annual minimums. The Adviser has agreed
to pay all expenses of the Fund’s Administrator, transfer agent, fund accountant and custodian in accordance with the Investment
Advisory Agreement.
Quasar
Distributors, LLC is the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”). The Distributor is not affiliated with the Adviser,
Fund Services, or its affiliated companies.

TAX FOOTNOTE
Federal
Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all net taxable
investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income
or excise tax provision is required. As of, and during the period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not have any tax positions that
did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority and did not have liabilities
for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain
tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund is subject to examination by taxing authorities for the tax
periods since the commencement of operations.

September 30, 2025, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

As
of September 30, 2025, the Fund had $4,207,826 in short-term capital loss carryovers which will be permitted to be carried over for
an unlimited period. A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss
as arising on the first day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain capital, and ordinary losses which occur
during the portion of the Fund’s taxable year subsequent to October 31 and December 31, respectively. For the taxable
period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not defer, on a tax basis, any qualified late year losses.
Distributions
to Shareholders – The Fund intends to distribute all net investment income and net realized gains
at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes
of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their treatment
for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components
of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, GAAP requires
that they be reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.
Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.

5.
DISTRIBUTION FEES
The
Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plan”). In accordance with
the Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related
activities. As authorized by the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Fund and there are no plans to impose these fees.
However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser and its
affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Fund.
6.
SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Shares
of the Fund are listed and trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Fund
issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in blocks of 25,000 shares called “Creation Units.” Creation
Units are issued and redeemed principally for cash, but may also be issued and redeemed in kind for securities held by or eligible to
be held by the Fund. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except
when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed
by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or
other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation
or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most
retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they
are unable to purchase or redeem shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market
with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
A
fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units.
The standard fixed transaction fee for the Fund is $300, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain
orders if the Fund’s Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the creation order costs associated with the order, or another
party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee, payable to the Fund, may be charged on all cash transactions
or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction.
Variable fees received by the Fund, if any, are displayed in the Capital Shares Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net
Assets. The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Fund have equal
rights and privileges.

IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS
For
the reorganization that occurred on February 10, 2025, the Fund received an in-kind contribution from the Predecessor Fund, which
consisted of $129,408 of cash and $362,208,257 of securities which were recorded at their fair value. However, as the transaction was
determined to be a non-taxable transaction by management, the Fund elected to retain the original cost basis of securities for book and
tax purposes to align its ongoing reporting. The cost of securities contributed to the Fund on February 10, 2025, was $263,005,669, resulting
in $99,202,588 of net unrealized appreciation of investments. As a result of the in-kind contribution, the Fund issued 14,500,000 shares
at a per share net asset value of $24.99.
9.
SECURITIES LENDING
Following
the terms of a securities lending agreement with the Fund’s Custodian, the Fund may lend securities from its portfolio to brokers,
dealers and financial institutions in order to increase the return on its portfolio, primarily through the receipt of borrowing fees and
earnings on invested collateral. Any such loan must be initially secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current
basis in an amount at least equal to 105% of the value of the loaned securities that are foreign securities or 102% of the value of any
other loaned securities. Loaned securities and collateral shall be marked to market daily and the margin restored in the event the collateralization
is below 100% of the value of the securities loaned. During the time securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the applicable Fund
any accrued income on those securities, and the Fund may invest the cash collateral and earn income or receive an agreed-upon fee from
a borrower that has delivered cash-equivalent collateral. In determining whether or not to lend a security to a particular broker, dealer
or financial institution, the Adviser considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including the size, creditworthiness and reputation
of the broker, relevant facts dealer or financial institution. Securities lending involves the risk of a default or insolvency of the
borrower. In either of these cases, a Fund could experience delays in recovering securities or collateral or could lose all or part of
the value of the loaned securities. A Fund also could lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for
loaned securities. Additionally, the loaned portfolio securities may not be available to a Fund on a timely basis and that Fund may therefore
lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. Any decline in the value of a security that occurs while the security
is out on loan would continue to be borne by the applicable Fund. As of September 30, 2025, the Fund had securities on loan with
a value of $26,610,648 and collateral value of $27,137,119.
The
Fund receives cash as collateral in return for securities lent as part of the securities lending program. The collateral is invested in
the First American Government Obligations Fund of which the investment objective is to seek to maximize current income to the extent with
the preservation of capital and liquidity and maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 per unit. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities
lending transactions is overnight and continuous. The Fund manages credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate
circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral agreements with third party borrowers that provide the Fund, in
the event of default (such as bankruptcy or a borrower’s failure to pay or perform), the right to net a third party borrower’s
rights and obligations under such agreement and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty. The
net income earned by the Fund on investments of cash collateral received from borrowers for the securities loaned to it are reflected
in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Operations, represents
the income earned from the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to the Custodian
as lending agent.

Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Elm Market Navigator ETF
(the “Fund”), a series of Series Portfolios Trust,
as of September 30, 2025, the related statements of operations, changes in net assets,
and the financial highlights for the period February 10, 2025 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2025, and related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2025, the results
of its operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our
audit 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 September 30, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We
have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2025.

SERIES PORTFOLIOS TRUST
Code of Ethics
For Principal Executive Officer & Principal Financial
Officer
This Code of Ethics is designed to comply with Section
406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder.
This Code of Ethics is in addition to, not in replacement of, the Series Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) Code of Ethics for
access persons (the “Investment Company Code of Ethics”), adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The persons covered by this Code of Ethics may also be subject to the
Investment Company Code of Ethics.
The Trust requires its Principal Executive Officer,
Principal Financial Officer, or other Trust officers performing similar functions (the “Principal Officers”), to maintain
the highest ethical and legal standards while performing their duties and responsibilities to the Trust and each of its series (each a
“Fund,” collectively the “Funds”), with particular emphasis on those duties that relate to the preparation and
reporting of the financial information of the Funds. The following principles and responsibilities shall govern the professional conduct
of the Principal Officers:
| I. | HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT |
The Principal Officers shall act with honesty and integrity,
avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships, and shall report any material transaction
or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such conflict between their interests and those of a Fund to the Audit
Committee, the full Board of Trustees of the Trust, and, in addition, to any other appropriate person or entity that may reasonably be
expected to deal with any conflict of interest in timely and expeditious manner.
The Principal Officers shall act in good faith, responsibly,
with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing their independent judgment to be subordinated
or compromised.
| II. | FINANCIAL RECORDS AND REPORTING |
The Principal Officers shall provide full, fair, accurate,
timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and/or other documents to be filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange
Commission or other applicable body by a Fund, or that is otherwise publicly disclosed or communicated. The Principal Officers shall comply
with applicable rules and regulations of federal, state, and local governments, and other appropriate private and public regulatory agencies.
The Principal Officers shall respect the confidentiality
of information acquired in the course of their work and shall not disclose such information except when authorized or legally obligated
to disclose. The Principal Officers will not use confidential information acquired in the course of their duties as Principal Officers.
The Principal Officers shall share knowledge and
maintain skills important and relevant to the Trust’s needs; shall proactively promote ethical behavior of the Trust’s
employees and with industry peers and associates; and shall maintain control over and responsibly manage assets and resources
employed or entrusted to them by the Trust.
| III. | COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS |
The Principal Officers shall establish and maintain
mechanisms to oversee the compliance of the Funds with applicable federal, state or local law, regulation or administrative rule, and
to identify, report and correct in a swift and certain manner, any detected deviations from applicable federal, state or local law regulation
or rule.
| IV. | COMPLIANCE WITH THIS CODE OF ETHICS |
The Principal Officers shall promptly report any violations
of this Code of Ethics to the Audit Committee as well as the full Board of Trustees of the Trust and shall be held accountable for strict
adherence to this Code of Ethics. A proven failure to uphold the standards stated herein shall be grounds for such sanctions as shall
be reasonably imposed by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.
This Code of Ethics may only be amended or modified
by approval of the Board of Trustees. Any substantive amendment that is not technical or administrative in nature or any material waiver,
implicit or otherwise, of any provision of this Code of Ethics, shall be communicated publicly in accordance with Item 2 of Form N-CSR
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Adopted: September 15, 2015
ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED:
I have read, and I understand the terms of, this Code of Ethics.
