NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 31, 2024

 

(1)

ORGANIZATION

 

The THOR Low Volatility ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of THOR Financial Technologies Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 11, 2022, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust is governed by its Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”). THOR Low Volatility ETF is a “fund of funds”, in that the Fund will generally invest in other investment companies. The Fund commenced operations on September 12, 2022. The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund (“ETF”). The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the THOR Low Volatility Index (the “Index”) . The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board upon 60 days’ written notice to shareholders.

 

(2)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and require 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies, including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08”.

 

Security 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 mean between the current bid and ask prices 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 (which approximates fair value). Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”).

 

The Fund may hold certain 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 securities are valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board 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 will affects the value thereof has

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Restricted or illiquid investments, 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 the Fund’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.

 

Valuation of Underlying Funds - The Fund may invest in portfolios of open -end or closed -end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). 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 to the methods established by the board of directors of the open-end funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies and ETFs, 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 investment company or ETF purchased by the Fund will not change.

 

Exchange Traded Funds – The Fund may invest in ETFs, which 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 in which it invests, 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.

 

Exchange Traded Notes – The Funds may invest in exchange traded notes (“ETNs”). ETNs are a type of debt security that is linked to the performance of underlying securities. The risks of owning ETNs generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track. In addition, ETNs are subject to credit risk generally to the same extent as debt securities.

 

The Fund 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 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.

THOR Low Volatility ETF

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

August 31, 2024

 

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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of August 31, 2024, for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

 

Assets*		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
Exchange-Traded Funds		$	77,543,512			$	—			$	—			$	77,543,512
Total		$	77,543,512			$	—			$	—			$	77,543,512

 

The Fund did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 securities during the year.

 

*

Refer to the Schedule of Investments for portfolio composition.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date basis. 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

 

Ordinarily, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually by the Fund. The Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on ex-dividend date and determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) 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.

 

Cash

 

The Fund considers its investments in an FDIC (“Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation”) insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Fund maintains cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund maintains these balances with a high-quality financial institution.

THOR Low Volatility ETF

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

August 31, 2024

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

The Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Fund recognizes 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 Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund’s August 31, 2024 tax returns.

 

Trustee Fees

 

For the period ended August 31, 2024, the Trustees were paid $15,000.

 

Indemnification

 

The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund and Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

 

(3)

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

 

For the year ended August 31, 2024, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) for the Fund amounted to $254,978,638 and $255,348,296 respectively. For the year ended August 31, 2024, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities for in-kind transactions, amounted to $30,335,962 and $55,707,122, respectively.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

THOR Trading Advisors, LLC, d/b/a THOR Financial Technologies, LLC serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

The Adviser pays all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Fund pays to the Adviser a unitary management fee (computed daily and paid monthly) at an annual rate of 0.55% of its average daily net assets. The Fund will pay all (i) brokerage expenses and other fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses (such as stamp taxes) incurred in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions (including without limitation any fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses related to the purchase or sale of an amount of any currency, or the patriation or repatriation of any security or other asset, related to the execution of portfolio transactions or any creation or redemption transactions); (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the Independent Trustees, as defined under the 1940 Act); (iv) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; (v) interest and taxes of any kind or nature (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes); (vi) fees and expenses related to the provision of securities lending services; and (vii) the advisory fee payable to the Adviser.

August 31, 2024

 

The Trust, with respect to the Fund, has adopted a distribution and service plan (“Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay distribution fees to Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor” or “NLD”) and other firms that provide distribution and shareholder services (“Service Providers”). If a Service Provider provides these services, the Fund may pay fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

 

No distribution or service fees are currently paid by the Fund, and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged, they would increase the cost of an investment in the Fund over time.

 

In addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Fund as follows:

 

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus”) – Ultimus, an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration and fund accounting services to the Fund. Pursuant to a separate servicing agreement with Ultimus, the Adviser pays

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income/(loss), accumulated net realized gain/(loss), and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

At August 31, 2024, the Fund had capital loss carry forwards (“CLCF”) for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains, as follows:

 

Short-Term				Long-Term				Total				CLCF Utilized
$	3,023,851			$	—			$	3,203,851			$	—

 

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to tax adjustments for realized gain (loss) on in-kind redemptions resulted in reclassification for the year ended August 31, 2024, as follows:

 

Paid
In				Accumulated
Capital				Earnings
$	1,174,135			$	(1,174,135	)

CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Fund at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” Shares are created and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 10,000 shares. For purposes of GAAP, in-kind redemption transactions are treated as a sale of securities and any resulting gains and losses are recognized based on the market value of the securities on the date of the transfer. Only Authorized Participants or transactions done through an Authorized Participant are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Fund. 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 (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per share of the Fund on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. In addition, the Fund may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Fund shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund in effecting trades. A fixed fee payable to the custodian may be imposed on each creation and redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units involved in the transaction (“Fixed Fee”). Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for cash or involving cash-in-lieu are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate the Fund and its ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions (“Variable Charge,” and together with the Fixed Fee, the “Transaction Fees”). Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

 

The Transaction Fees for the Fund are listed in the table below:

 

 

	Maximum Additional Variable Charge for
Fee for In-Kind and Cash Purchases	Cash Purchases*
$200	2.00%

 

*

The maximum Transaction Fee may be up to 2.00% of the amount invested.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

 

The Fund’s investments in securities, financial instruments and derivatives expose it to various risks, certain of which are discussed below. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information for further information regarding the risks associated with the Fund’s investments which include, but are not limited to: models and data risk, allocation risk, authorized participant risk, ETF structure risks, index calculation agent risk, index tracking risk, smaller fund risk, large capitalization stock risk, passive investment risk, portfolio turnover risk, securities market risk, and underlying funds risk.

 

Models and Data Risk. The Fund’s index relies heavily on a proprietary algorithm as well as data and information supplied by third parties that are utilized by such model. To the extent the algorithm does not perform as designed or as intended, including accurately measuring historic price trends and volatility, the Fund’s strategy may not be successfully implemented and the Fund may lose value.

 

Allocation Risk. The risk that if the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different sectors does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with the same or similar investment strategy.

 

Authorized Participant Risk. Only an Authorized Participant (“AP”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as APs on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants). To the extent that APs exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, Fund shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and possibly face trading halts or delisting. AP concentration risk may be heightened for exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest in non-U.S. securities or other securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes.

 

ETF Structure Risks. The Fund is structured as an ETF and is subject to special risks, including:

 

○

Not Individually Redeemable. Shares of the Fund (“Shares”) are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Fund at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” You may incur brokerage costs purchasing enough Shares to constitute a Creation Unit.

 

○

Trading Issues. An active trading market for the Shares may not be developed or maintained. Trading in Shares on the exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility. There can be no assurance that Shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of the exchange. If the Shares are traded outside a collateralized settlement system, the number of financial institutions that can act as authorized participants that can post collateral on an agency basis is limited, which may limit the market for the Shares.

 

○

Market Price Variance Risk. The market prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for Shares and will include a “bid-ask spread” charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. There may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. This means that Shares may trade at a discount to NAV.

 

Index Calculation Agent Risk. The Fund seeks to achieve returns that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its index, as published by its Index Calculation Agent. There is no assurance that the Index Calculation Agent will compile the index accurately, or that the index will be determined, composed or calculated accurately. While the Adviser gives descriptions of what the index is designed to achieve, the Index Calculation Agent does not provide any warranty or accept any liability in relation to the quality, accuracy or completeness of data in the index, and does not guarantee that its index will be in line with its methodology.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

August 31, 2024

 

Index Tracking Risk. The Fund’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the Index.

 

Smaller Fund Risk. A smaller fund is subject to the risk that its performance may not represent how the fund is expected to or may perform in the long term. In addition, smaller funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve an economically viable size, in which case it could ultimately liquidate. In a liquidation, shareholders of the Fund will receive an amount equal to the Fund’s NAV, after deducting the costs of liquidation. Receipt of a liquidation distribution may have negative tax consequences for shareholders.

 

Large Capitalization Stock Risk. The Fund may invest in large capitalization companies. The securities of such companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.

 

Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed and, therefore, the Fund would not sell a security due to current or projected underperformance of the security, industry, or sector unless that security is removed from the Index or selling the security is otherwise required upon a rebalancing of the Index.

 

Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may buy and sell investments frequently if the Index constituents change. Such a strategy often involves higher transaction costs, including brokerage commissions, and may increase the amount of capital gains (in particular, short term gains) realized by the Fund. Shareholders may pay tax on such capital gains.

 

Securities Market Risk. The value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting particular companies or the securities markets generally. A general downturn in the securities market may cause multiple asset classes to decline in value simultaneously.

 

Underlying Funds Risk. Other investment companies, such as ETFs, in which the Fund invests are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund is higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and may be higher than other funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Through its investments in Underlying Funds, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the Underlying Funds’ investments. The U.S. money market funds in which the Fund invests seek to maintain a stable NAV, but money market funds are subject to credit, market and other risks, and are not guaranteed.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders of THOR Low Volatility ETF and
Board of Trustees of THOR Financial Technologies Trust

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of THOR Low Volatility ETF (the “Fund”), a series of THOR Financial Technologies Trust, as of August 31, 2024, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended and the period from September 12, 2022 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2023, and the 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 August 31, 2024, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended and the period from September 12, 2022 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2023, 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 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 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 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 August 31, 2024, 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2023.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)

August 31, 2024

 

Renewal of Advisory Agreement – THOR Equal Weight Low Volatility ETF*

 

At a meeting held on August 19, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, discussed the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between the Adviser and the Trust, with respect to THOR Equal Weight Low Volatility ETF (the “Fund”). In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Fund and the Management Agreement.

 

The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Management Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board’s conclusions were based on an 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 conclusions with respect to the Management Agreement.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services . The Board reviewed the background of the Adviser’s key investment personnel, noting no material changes since the last renewal of the Management Agreement. The Board commented that the THOR Low Volatility Index identified investment opportunities for the Fund through the use of its proprietary algorithmic process, with the algorithm monitored by the portfolio managers to ensure accuracy. The Board noted that the Adviser monitored compliance by reviewing reports provided by the Fund’s Administrator and Chief Compliance Officer. The Board further noted that the Adviser reported no cybersecurity incidents or material compliance issues since the Management Agreement’s last renewal. The Board noted that since the Fund has moved to the NYSE, the Fund has kept strict adherence to NAV resulting in smaller bid/ask spreads. The Board observed that the Adviser reported no SEC or regulatory examinations and no material litigation or administrative action since the Management Agreement’s last renewal. The Board concluded that the Adviser continued to provide consistent portfolio management, risk management and compliance services through various market conditions and allocated adequate resources to support the Fund. The Board determined that it could expect the Adviser to continue to provide quality services to the Fund and its shareholders.

 

Performance. The Board observed that the Fund achieved a net return of 17.02% since inception and a net return of 8.21% for the one -year period ended June 30, 2024. The Board observed that the Fund had underperformed the median of its peer group and its Morningstar category across all periods. The Board further observed that the Fund underperformed against the MSCI USA Minimum Volatility NR USD Index and the S&P 500 Index. The Board considered the Adviser’s remarks that the MSCI USA Minimum Volatility NR USD Index is being used for comparison purposes as it is the flagship index in the low volatility space and thus warrants a comparison to the Fund for discussion purposes. The Board noted that for the since inception period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund’s performance on a gross of fees basis (i.e., excluding the effect of fees and expenses) was generally consistent with the performance of its underlying index, the THOR Low Volatility Index. The Board acknowledged that for standard deviation among its peer group and Morningstar category, the Fund ranked in the second quartile for the one-year

period ended June 30, 2024, and ranked in the third quartile for the period since inception through June 30, 2024. The Board noted the Adviser attributed the Fund’s underperformance to the overall market underperformance of equal weight strategies during the fiscal period, but that the Adviser remained confident that the Fund’s process and strategy would result in competitive performance over time. The Board concluded that the Adviser had managed the strategy as designed and provided reasonable returns for the Fund’s shareholders.

 

Fees and Expenses. The Board noted that the advisory fee and net expense ratio of the Fund were each lower than the medians and averages of its peer group and Morningstar category. Given these considerations, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s advisory fee for the Fund was not unreasonable.

 

Economies of Scale. The Board discussed the Fund’s size and its prospects for growth, concluding that the Adviser had not yet achieved meaningful economies of scale that would justify the implementation of breakpoints. The Board noted the Adviser’s willingness to consider breakpoints as the Fund reached a specified level of assets. The Board agreed to monitor and address the issue at the appropriate time.

 

Profitability. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability analysis in connection with the advisory services provided to the Fund and noted that the Adviser was managing the Fund at a loss. The Board concluded that the Adviser’s profits from the Fund were not excessive.

 

Conclusion. Having requested and reviewed such information from the Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Management Agreement and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board concluded that renewal of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Policies of the Trust Regarding Personal Securities

Transactions General

No Access Person of the Trust shall engage in any act, practice or course of business that would violate the provisions of Rule 17j-1 as set forth above, or in connection with any personal investment activity, engage in conduct inconsistent with this Code.

Specific Policies

1.

Restrictions on Personal Securities Transactions by Other Than Restricted Trustees and persons covered under an equivalent code of ethics of the Fund’s service provider.

a.

Except as provided below, no Access Person may buy or sell Covered Securities for his or her personal portfolio or the portfolio of a member of his or her immediate family without obtaining authorization from the Trust CCO prior to effecting such security transaction.

Note: If an Access Person has questions as to whether purchasing or selling a security for his or her personal portfolio or the portfolio of a member of his or her immediate family requires prior authorization, the Access Person should consult the Trust CCO for clearance or denial of clearance to trade prior to effecting any securities transactions.

b.

Pre-clearance approval under paragraph (a) will expire at the close of business on the trading day after the date on which the authorization is received, and the Access Person is required to renew clearance for the transaction if the trade is not completed before the authority expires.

c.

No clearance will be given to an Access Person to purchase or sell any Covered Security (1) on a day when any Fund of the Trust has a pending "buy" or "sell" order in that same Covered Security until that pending "buy" or "sell" order is executed or withdrawn or (2) when the Trust Compliance Officer has been advised by the Adviser that the same Covered Security is being considered for purchase or sale for any portfolio of the Trust.

d.

The pre-clearance requirement contained above shall not apply to the following securities ("Exempt Securities"):

·

Securities that are not Covered Securities;

·

De Minimis Securities;

·

Securities purchased or sold in any account over which the Access Person has no direct or indirect influence or control;

·

Securities purchased or sold in a transaction which is non-volitional on the part of either the Access Person or the Trust;

·

Securities acquired as a part of an Automatic Investment Plan;

·

Securities acquired upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro rata to all holders of a class of its securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired; and

·

Securities which the Trust's Funds are not permitted to purchase under the investment objectives and policies set forth in the Trust's then current prospectus(es) under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Trust's registration statement on Form N-1A, provided that prior to a transaction by an Access Person such securities have been approved for inclusion in a list of securities which are not permissible for purchase by the Trust's Fund.

e.

The pre-clearance requirement contained shall apply to all purchases of a beneficial interest in any security through an Initial Public Offering or a Limited Offering by any Access Person who is also classified as Investment Personnel. A record of any decision and the reason supporting such decision to approve the acquisition by Investment Personnel of Initial Public Offerings or Limited Offerings shall be made by the Compliance Officer.

2.

Restrictions on Personal Securities Transactions by Restricted Trustees.

The Trust recognizes that a Restricted Trustee do not have on-going, day- to-day involvement with the operations of the Trust. In addition, it has been the practice of the Trust to give information about securities purchased or sold by the Trust or considered for purchase or sale by the Trust to Restricted Trustee in materials circulated more than 15 days after such securities are purchased or sold by the Trust or are considered for purchase or sale by the Trust. Accordingly, the Trust believes that less stringent controls are appropriate for Restricted Trustees, as follows:

·

The securities pre-clearance requirement above shall only apply to a Restricted Trustee if he or she knew or, in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her official duties as a trustee or officer, should have known, that during the 15-day period before the transaction in a Covered Security (other than an Exempt Security ) or at the time of the transaction that the Covered Security purchased or sold by him or her other than an Exempt Security was also purchased or sold by the Trust or considered for the purchase or sale by the Trust.

·

If the pre-clearance provisions of the preceding paragraph apply, no clearance will be given to a Restricted Trustee to purchase or sell any Covered Security (1) on a day when any portfolio of the Trust has a pending "buy" or "sell" order in that same Covered Security until that order is executed or withdrawn or (2) when a Compliance Officer has been advised by the Adviser that the same Covered Security is being considered for purchase or sale for any portfolio of the Trust.

Reporting Requirements

The Trust CCO or designee shall monitor all personal trading activity of all Access Persons as deemed appropriate and covered by this Code. An Access Person of a Trust who is also an Access Person of the Trust’s principal underwriter, affiliates or Adviser may submit such reporting requirements via the forms prescribed by any such separate Code of Ethics provided that the associated forms comply with the requirements of Rule 17j-1(d)(1) of the 1940 Act.
