How did the Fund perform over the last 6 months and what affected its performance?

  • The Fund was down 0.14% (NAV) for the first half of the year. A loss of almost 2.6% in Q1 was followed by a gain of about 2.5% in Q2. Despite negative performance, the Fund significantly outperformed the SG CTA Index.

  • The Fund was profitable in commodities and equities in both quarters, with the most gains in commodities, driven by long exposure to gold.

  • Currency exposure was a detractor, as short Euro exposure was a significant loser. Short bond positioning hurt early in the first half.

Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization

 

Litman Gregory Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware business trust on August 1, 1996, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. Effective August 1, 2011, The Masters’ Select Funds Trust changed its name to the Litman Gregory Funds Trust. The Trust consists of twelve separate series. The eight series that are included in this report are: iMGP Global Select Fund, iMGP International Fund, iMGP Small Company Fund, iMGP High Income Fund, iMGP Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund, iMGP APA Enhanced Income Municipal Fund, iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF, and iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF (collectively the “Funds”). Each Fund is diversified.

iMGP Global Select Fund (“Global Select Fund”) seeks to increase the value of an investment in the Fund over the long-term by using the combined talents and favorite stock-picking ideas of two highly regarded portfolio managers (each “Managers” or “Sub-Advisors”). The Global Select Fund offers one class of shares: Institutional Class.

iMGP International Fund (“International Fund”) seeks to increase the value of an investment in the Fund over the long-term by using the combined talents and favorite stock-picking ideas of four highly regarded international portfolio managers. The International Fund offers one class of shares: Institutional Class.

iMGP Small Company Fund (“Small Company Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital; that is, the increase in the value of an investment in the Fund over the long-term by engaging an experienced, high quality portfolio manager with favorite stock-picking ideas that can deliver a portfolio that is prudently diversified in terms of stocks and industries. The Small Company Fund offers one class of shares: Institutional Class.

iMGP High Income Fund (“High Income Fund”) seeks to achieve long-term returns with lower risk and lower volatility than the stock market, and with relatively low correlation to stock and bond market indexes, by using the combined talents and favorite stock and bond market indexes-picking ideas of three highly regarded portfolio managers. A high level of current income is a secondary objective. The High Income Fund offers one class of shares: Institutional Class.

iMGP Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund (“Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund”) seeks to provide investors with total return, with a secondary investment objective of preserving capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of corporate investment grade bonds, corporate high yield bonds, and U.S. Government and Treasury securities maturing within 10 years or less. The Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund offers one class of shares: Institutional Class.

iMGP APA Enhanced Income Municipal Fund (“APA Enhanced Income Municipal Fund”) seeks to provide investors with a high level of income exempt from federal income tax, with capital appreciation as a secondary investment objective. Under normal conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in U.S. dollar-denominated municipal bonds of intermediate maturities that are exempt from federal income tax. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in taxable debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, corporate cusips and municipal bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in unrated securities, and may invest up to 20% of its total assets in unrated securities and below investment grade securities (also known as “junk bonds” or “high yield securities”), but will generally invest less than 10% of its total assets in such securities. The APA Enhanced Income Municipal Fund offers one class of shares: Institutional Class.

iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF (“DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF”) seeks long term capital appreciation. The DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its objective by: (i) investing its assets pursuant to a managed futures strategy; (ii) allocating up to 20% of its total assets in its wholly-owned subsidiary, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is advised by the sub-advisor, and will comply with the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF’s investment objective and investment policies; and (iii) investing directly in select debt instruments for cash management and other purposes. Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange Arca.

iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF (“Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF”) seeks dividend income and long-term capital appreciation. The Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF is an actively-managed ETF that seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in dividend-paying equity securities, with an emphasis on stocks that have a strong track record of paying dividends or that are expected to increase their dividends over time. Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange Arca.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

A

Accounting Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of 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.

Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

B

Security Valuation. The Funds record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below. Investments in securities and derivatives traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of regular trading on each day that the exchanges are open for trading. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market and the NASDAQ Capital Market are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities traded on an exchange for which there have been no sales are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Debt securities maturing within 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost unless the Valuation Committee determines that amortized cost does not represent fair value. Securities for which market prices are not readily available or if a security’s value has materially changed after the close of the security’s primary market but before the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Managers that selected the security for the Funds’ portfolio and the Trust’s Valuation Committee in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining fair value, the Funds take into account all relevant factors and available information. Consequently, the price of the security used by a Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and there is no single standard for determining the fair value of a security. As a result, different mutual funds could reasonably arrive at a different value for the same security. For securities that do not trade during NYSE hours, fair value determinations are based on analyses of market movements after the close of those securities’ primary markets, and include reviews of developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. Pricing services are used to obtain closing market prices and to compute certain fair value adjustments utilizing computerized pricing models. It is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security or from the values that other mutual funds may determine.

Investments in other funds are valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those funds in accordance with the 1940 Act.

The Funds are required to comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regulations that govern valuation practices and the role of a fund’s board with respect to the fair value of the investments of a registered investment company. Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, among other things, establishes an updated regulatory framework for registered investment company fair valuation practices. The Funds’ Board has designated iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC as each Fund’s valuation designee to perform fair value functions in accordance with valuation policies and procedures adopted by iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC, subject to the Board’s oversight.

Debt securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Funds’ pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Securities denominated in a foreign currency are converted into their U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the date that the values of the foreign debt securities are determined. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Certain derivatives trade in the over-the-counter market. The Funds’ pricing services use various techniques including industry standard option pricing models and proprietary discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of those instruments. The Funds’ net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair value of the contract, is included in net assets.

The Funds have procedures to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. Under these procedures, the Funds primarily employ a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Funds may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed.

 

C

Consolidation of Subsidiary. The DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF may invest up to 20% of its total assets in the iMGP DBi Cayman Managed Futures Subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is wholly-owned and controlled by the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF. The financial statements of the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF

 

 
Notes to Financial Statements         73

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

  include the operations of the Subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle in order to invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies. The DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF had 17.7% of its total net assets invested in the Subsidiary as of June 30, 2025.

The Subsidiary is an exempted Cayman Islands investment company and as such is not subject to Cayman Islands taxes at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the Subsidiary is a Controlled Foreign Corporation (“CFC”) not subject to U.S. income taxes. As a wholly-owned CFC, however, the Subsidiary’s net income and capital gains, if any, will be included each year in the Fund’s investment company taxable income.

 

D

Senior Term Loans. The High Income Fund may invest in bank debt, which includes interests in loans to companies or their affiliates undertaken to finance a capital restructuring or in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, refinancings or other financially leveraged transactions and may include loans which are designed to provide temporary or bridge financing to a borrower pending the sale of identified assets, the arrangement of longer-term loans or the issuance and sale of debt obligations. These loans, which may bear fixed or floating rates, have generally been arranged through private negotiations between a corporate borrower and one or more financial institutions (“Lenders”), including banks. The High Income Fund’s investments may be in the form of participations in loans (“Participations”) or of assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties (“Assignments”).

 

E

Unfunded Loan Commitments. The High Income Fund may enter into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments, if any, are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments in Securities.

 

F

Short Sales. Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When each Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. In addition, cash and certain investments in securities may be used to collateralize the securities sold short. Each day the securities sold short transaction is open, the liability to replace the borrowed security is marked to market and an unrealized gain or loss is recorded. While the transaction remains open, the Fund may also incur expenses for any dividends or interest which will be paid to the lender of the securities as well as a fee to borrow the delivered security. During the term of the short sale, the value of the securities pledged as collateral on short sales is required to exceed the value of the securities sold short. A gain, limited to the price at which each Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale. Each Fund is also subject to the risk that it may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially in excess of the last quoted price.

 

G

Securities Lending. The Funds may make secured loans of their portfolio securities amounting to not more than one-third of their total assets. Securities loans are required to be collateralized by cash or securities in an amount equal to the securities loaned (marked to market daily). Loans are collateralized at a value at least equal to 105% of the then current market value of any loaned security that are foreign, or 102% of the then current market value of any other loaned security. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the following business day. Funds participating in securities lending receive compensation for lending their securities and/or net investment income earned on the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and fees paid to the lending agent. Cash collateral received is invested in State Street Navigator Government Money Market Portfolio. The remaining contractual maturity of this investment is overnight and continuous. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, each Fund has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Funds’ lending agent.

A Fund that lends its portfolio securities bears certain risks, including the risk of delay in the recovery of loaned securities, possible impairment of the Fund’s ability to vote the securities, the inability to invest proceeds from the sales of such securities and the loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. A Fund also bears the risk that the value of investments made with collateral may decline and bears the risk of total loss with respect to the investment of collateral.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

The Trust’s securities lending policies and procedures require that the borrower: (i) deliver cash or U.S. Government securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% or 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and (ii) at all times thereafter mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral is at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. From time to time the collateral may not be 102% or 105% due to end of day market movement. The next business day, additional collateral is obtained/received from the borrower to replenish/reestablish 102% or 105%.

 

H

Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements through which the Fund acquires a security (the “underlying security”) from a seller, a well-established securities dealer or a bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The bank or securities dealer agrees to repurchase the underlying security at the same price, plus a specified amount of interest, at a later date, generally for a period of less than one week. It is the Trust’s policy that its Custodian takes possession of securities as collateral under repurchase agreements and to determine on a daily basis that the value of such securities, including recorded interest, is sufficient to cover the value of the repurchase agreements. The Trust’s policy states that the value of the collateral is at least 102% of the value of the repurchase agreement. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the counterparty of the security, realization of the collateral by a Fund may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2025, the Funds’ ongoing exposure to the economic return on repurchase agreements is shown on the Schedules of Investments in Securities.

 

I

Reverse repurchase agreements. The High Income Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and brokers to enhance return. Under a reverse repurchase agreement a Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by that Fund to repurchase the same assets at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund can use the proceeds received from entering into a reverse repurchase agreement to make additional investments, which generally causes the Fund’s portfolio to behave as if it were leveraged. If the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result may realize a loss on the transaction if the securities it sold are worth more than the purchase price it originally received from the buyer. Reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are shown on the Schedules of Investments in Securities. Cash received in exchange for securities transferred, if any, under reverse repurchase agreements are reflected as reverse repurchase agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

J

Foreign Currency Translation. The Funds’ records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The currencies are translated into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rates quoted at the close of the London Stock Exchange prior to when each Fund’s net asset value is next determined. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of their net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the impact arising from changes in market prices. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Net realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency transactions gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

 

K

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. The Funds may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) under which they are obligated to exchange currencies on specified future dates at specified rates, and are subject to foreign exchange rates fluctuations. All contracts are “marked-to-market” daily and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Funds record realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is settled. These gains and losses are reflected on the Statements of Operations as realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Counterparties to these forward contracts are major U.S. financial institutions (see Note 8).

 

L

Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) Regulation. Because of the nature of its investments, the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF is subject to regulation under the Commodities Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”), as a commodity pool and each of the Advisor and Sub-Adviser is subject to regulation under the CEA as a commodity pool operator (“CPO”), as those terms are defined under the CEA. The Advisor and Sub-Adviser are regulated by the CFTC, the National Futures Association and the SEC and are subject to each regulator’s disclosure requirements. The CFTC has adopted rules that are intended to harmonize certain CEA disclosure requirements with SEC disclosure requirements.

 

M

Futures Contracts. The High Income Fund invests in financial futures contracts primarily for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities that the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. The futures contracts in the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF are not designated as hedging instruments. The DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF employs long and short positions in derivatives, primarily futures contracts, across the broad asset

  classes of equities, fixed income, currencies and, through the Subsidiary, commodities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets, equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. Each Fund recognizes a gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. If market conditions move unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged assets (see Note 8).

 

N

Interest Rate Swaps. During the period ended June 30, 2025, the High Income Fund invested in interest rate swaps. An interest rate swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals, based upon or calculated by reference to changes in interest rates on a specified notional principal amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which a Fund and a counterparty agree to exchange periodic payments on a specified notional amount or make a net payment upon termination. Bilateral swap transactions are privately negotiated in the Over the counter (“OTC”) market and payments are settled through direct payments between a Fund and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing. These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”) (“centrally cleared swaps”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. Swaps are marked-to-market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty or clearinghouse prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon entering into a swap contract, a Fund is required to satisfy an initial margin requirement by delivering cash or securities to the counterparty (or in some cases, segregated in a triparty account on behalf of the counterparty), which can be adjusted by any mark-to-market gains or losses pursuant to bilateral or centrally cleared arrangements. For centrally cleared swaps the daily change in valuation, and upfront payments, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities (see Note 8).

 

O

Credit Default Swaps. During the period ended June 30, 2025, the High Income Fund entered into credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate issuers or indexes or to create exposure to corporate issuers or indexes to which it is not otherwise exposed. In a credit default swap, the protection buyer makes a stream of payments based on a fixed percentage applied to the contract notional amount to the protection seller in exchange for the right to receive a specified return upon the occurrence of a defined credit event on the reference obligation which may be either a single security or a basket of securities issued by corporate or sovereign issuers. Although contract-specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. Upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the difference between the value of the reference obligation and the swap’s notional amount is recorded as realized gain (for protection written) or loss (for protection sold) in the Statements of Operations. In the case of credit default swaps where a Fund is selling protection, the notional amount approximates the maximum loss. For centrally cleared swaps the daily change in valuation, and upfront payments, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities (see Note 8).

 

P

Total Return Swaps. During the period ended June 30, 2025, the High Income Fund invested in total return swaps. Total return swap is the generic name for any non-traditional swap where one party agrees to pay the other the “total return” of a defined underlying asset, usually in return for receiving a stream of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and Federal Fund Rate (“FEDL01”) based cash flows. A total return swap may be applied to any underlying asset but is most commonly used with equity indices, single stocks, bonds and defined portfolios of loans and mortgages. Total return swap is a mechanism for the user to accept the economic benefits of asset ownership without utilizing the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The other leg of the swap, usually SOFR or FEDL01, is a spread to reflect the non-Statement of Assets and Liabilities nature of the product. No notional amounts are exchanged with total return swaps. The total return receiver assumes the entire economic exposure – that is, both market and credit exposure – to the reference asset. The total return payer – often the owner of the reference obligation – gives up economic exposure to the performance of the reference asset and in return takes on counterparty credit exposure to the total return receiver in the event of a default or fall in value of the reference asset (see Note 8).

 

Q

Purchasing Put and Call Options. Each Fund may purchase covered “put” and “call” options with respect to securities which are otherwise eligible for purchase by a Fund and with respect to various stock indices subject to certain restrictions. Each Fund will engage in trading of such derivative securities primarily for hedging purposes.

If a Fund purchases a put option, a Fund acquires the right to sell the underlying security at a specified price at any time during the term of the option (for “American-style” options) or on the option expiration date (for “European-style” options). Purchasing put options may be used as a portfolio investment strategy when a portfolio manager perceives significant short-term risk but substantial long-term appreciation for the underlying security. The put option acts as an insurance policy, as it protects against significant downward price movement while it allows full participation in any upward movement. If a Fund is holding a stock which it feels has strong fundamentals, but for some reason may be weak in the near term, a Fund may purchase a put option on such security, thereby

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

giving itself the right to sell such security at a certain strike price throughout the term of the option. Consequently, a Fund will exercise the put only if the price of such security falls below the strike price of the put. The difference between the put’s strike price and the market price of the underlying security on the date a Fund exercises the put, less transaction costs, will be the amount by which a Fund will be able to hedge against a decline in the underlying security. If during the period of the option the market price for the underlying security remains at or above the put’s strike price, the put will expire worthless, representing a loss of the price a Fund paid for the put, plus transaction costs. If the price of the underlying security increases, the profit a Fund realizes on the sale of the security will be reduced by the premium paid for the put option less any amount for which the put may be sold.

If a Fund purchases a call option, it acquires the right to purchase the underlying security at a specified price at any time during the term of the option. The purchase of a call option is a type of insurance policy to hedge against losses that could occur if a Fund has a short position in the underlying security and the security thereafter increases in price. Each Fund will exercise a call option only if the price of the underlying security is above the strike price at the time of exercise. If during the option period the market price for the underlying security remains at or below the strike price of the call option, the option will expire worthless, representing a loss of the price paid for the option, plus transaction costs. If the call option has been purchased to hedge a short position of a Fund in the underlying security and the price of the underlying security thereafter falls, the profit a Fund realizes on the cover of the short position in the security will be reduced by the premium paid for the call option less any amount for which such option may be sold.

Prior to exercise or expiration, an option may be sold when it has remaining value by a purchaser through a “closing sale transaction,” which is accomplished by selling an option of the same series as the option previously purchased. Each Fund generally will purchase only those options for which a Manager believes there is an active secondary market to facilitate closing transactions (see Note 8).

Writing Call Options. Each Fund may write covered call options. A call option is “covered” if a Fund owns the security underlying the call or has an absolute right to acquire the security without additional cash consideration (or, if additional cash consideration is required, cash or cash equivalents in such amount as are held in a segregated account by the Custodian). The writer of a call option receives a premium and gives the purchaser the right to buy the security underlying the option at the exercise price. The writer has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security against payment of the exercise price during the option period. If the writer of an exchange-traded option wishes to terminate his obligation, he may effect a “closing purchase transaction.” This is accomplished by buying an option of the same series as the option previously written. A writer may not effect a closing purchase transaction after it has been notified of the exercise of an option.

Effecting a closing transaction in the case of a written call option will permit a Fund to write another call option on the underlying security with either a different exercise price, expiration date or both. Also, effecting a closing transaction will permit the cash or proceeds from the concurrent sale of any securities subject to the option to be used for other investments of a Fund. If a Fund desires to sell a particular security from its portfolio on which it has written a call option, it will effect a closing transaction prior to or concurrent with the sale of the security.

Each Fund will realize a gain from a closing transaction if the cost of the closing transaction is less than the premium received from writing the option or if the proceeds from the closing transaction are more than the premium paid to purchase the option. Each Fund will realize a loss from a closing transaction if the cost of the closing transaction is more than the premium received from writing the option or if the proceeds from the closing transaction are less than the premium paid to purchase the option. However, because increases in the market price of a call option will generally reflect increases in the market price of the underlying security, any loss to a Fund resulting from the repurchase of a call option is likely to be offset in whole or in part by appreciation of the underlying security owned by a Fund (see Note 8).

Writing Put Options. Each Fund may write put options. By writing put options, the Fund takes on the risk of declines in the value of the underlying instrument, including the possibility of a loss up to the entire strike price of each option it sells, but without the corresponding opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the underlying instrument. When the Fund writes a put option, it assumes the risk that it must purchase the underlying instrument at a strike price that may be higher than the market price of the instrument. If there is a broad market decline and the Fund is able to close out its written put options, it may result in substantial losses to the Fund (see Note 8).

Risks of Investing in Options. There are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities. Options may be more volatile than the underlying instruments and, therefore, on a percentage basis, an investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. There are also significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objective. In addition, a liquid secondary market for particular options may be absent for reasons which include the following: there may be insufficient trading interest in certain options; restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on opening transactions or closing transactions or both; trading halts, suspensions or other restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular classes or series of option of underlying securities; unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an exchange; the facilities of an exchange or clearing corporation may not at all times be adequate to handle current trading volume; or one or more exchanges could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular

class or series of options), in which event the secondary market on that exchange (or in that class or series of options) would cease to exist, although outstanding options that had been issued by a clearing corporation as a result of trades on that exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms.

A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected events. The extent to which a Fund may enter into options transactions may be limited by the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to qualification of a Fund as a regulated investment company.

 

R

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition – “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis.

 

S

Income Taxes. The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes are required. The Funds have reviewed the tax positions, taken on federal income tax returns, for each of the three open tax years (as applicable) and as of June 30, 2025, and have determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Foreign securities held by the Funds may be subject to foreign taxation on dividend and interest income received. Foreign taxes, if any, net of any reclaims, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Funds’ invest.

Taxes on foreign interest and dividend income are generally withheld in accordance with the applicable country’s tax treaty with the United States. The foreign withholding rates applicable to a Fund’s investments in certain jurisdictions may be higher if a significant portion of the Fund is held by non-U.S. shareholders. Each Fund may be subject to taxation on realized capital gains, repatriation proceeds and other transaction-based charges imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Taxes related to capital gains realized during the period ended June 30, 2025, if any, are reflected as part of net realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations.

Changes in tax liabilities related to capital gain taxes on unrealized investment gains, if any, are reflected as part of change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount.

The Funds may have previously filed for and/or may file for additional tax refunds with respect to certain taxes withheld by certain countries. Generally, the amount of such refunds that a Fund reasonably determines are collectible and free from significant contingencies are reflected in a Fund’s net asset value and are reflected as foreign tax reclaims receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In certain circumstances, a Fund’s receipt of such refunds may cause the Fund and/or its shareholders to be liable for U.S. federal income taxes and interest charges.

Foreign taxes paid by each Fund may be treated, to the extent permissible by the Code (and other applicable U.S. federal tax guidance) and if that Fund so elects, as if paid by U.S. shareholders of that Fund.

 

T

Security Transactions, Dividend and Interest Income and Expenses. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. Dividend income and, where applicable, related foreign tax withholding expenses are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on fixed-income securities are accreted and amortized to maturity using the effective interest method and reflected within interest income on the Statements of Operations. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, if any, are recorded as components of interest income in the Statements of Operations. Many expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a specific Fund. Each Fund is charged for expenses directly attributed to it. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a specific Fund are allocated among the Funds in the Trust in proportion to their respective net assets or other appropriate method. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, not including class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions by class are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Class specific expenses, such as 12b-1 expenses, are directly attributed to that specific class.

 

U

Restricted Cash. At June 30, 2025, the High Income Fund, and the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF held restricted cash in connection with investments in certain derivative securities. Restricted cash is held in a segregated account with the Funds’ Custodian as well as with brokers and is reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as deposits at brokers for securities sold short, futures, options, and swaps. Restrictions may include legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against short-term borrowing arrangements or contracts entered into with others.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

The Funds consider their investment in an Federal Deposits Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Funds maintain cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high quality financial institution.

 

V

Restricted Securities. A restricted security cannot be resold to the general public without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933. If the security is subsequently registered and resold, the issuers would typically bear the expense of all registrations at no cost to the Fund. Restricted securities are valued according to the guidelines and procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. As of June 30, 2025, there were no restricted securities held in the Funds.

 

W

Illiquid Securities. Each Fund may not invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets in illiquid securities, including restricted securities that are not deemed to be liquid by the Sub-Advisors. The Advisor and the Sub-Advisors will monitor the amount of illiquid securities in a Fund’s portfolio, under the supervision of the Board, to ensure compliance with a Fund’s investment restrictions. In accordance with procedures approved by the Board, these securities may be valued using techniques other than market quotations, and the values established for these securities may be different than what would be produced through the use of another methodology or if they had been priced using market quotations. Illiquid securities and other portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.

 

X

Indemnification Obligations. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its current and former officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred or that would be covered by other parties.

Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

 

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Litman Gregory Fund Advisors, LLC. Effective October 1, 2021, Litman Gregory Fund Advisors, LLC has changed its name to iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) and also subsequently referred to as “iM Global”.

Note 4 – Distribution Plan

 

The DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF and Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF issue and redeem Shares at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) only in Creation Units. Only Authorized Participants (“APs”) may acquire Shares directly from the Funds, and only APs may tender their Shares for redemption directly to the Funds, at NAV. APs must be a member or participant of a clearing agency registered with the SEC and must execute a Participant Agreement that has been agreed to by the Distributor, and that has been accepted by the Transfer Agent, with respect to purchases and redemptions of Creation Units. Once created, Shares trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit.

Individual Shares may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange through brokers. Shares will be listed for trading on NYSE Arca and because the Shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount).

Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Investments

 

The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Funds’ own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 –

Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2 –

Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and fair value estimates for foreign securities indices).

 

Level 3 –

Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

Fixed income securities including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. Treasury inflation protected securities, sovereign issues, bank loans, convertible preferred securities and non-U.S. bonds are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services or sources. Independent pricing services typically use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The service providers’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as, among other things, issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are typically marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date.

Mortgage and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. These securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, current market data and incorporates deal collateral performance, as available.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two different classes: one that receives substantially all interest payments (interest-only, or “IO” and/or high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette”), and the other that receives substantially all principal payments (principal-only, or “PO”) from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO; as a result, periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income.

Mortgage and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements are short-term investments, and are fair valued approximately at their principal amounts. Repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Financial derivative instruments, such as forward foreign currency contracts, options contracts, futures, or swap agreements, derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of broker dealer quotations or pricing service providers at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the derivative contracts can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, dividends and exchange rates. Derivatives that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables provide the fair value measurements of applicable Fund assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy for each Fund as of June 30, 2025. These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.

The Funds are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Funds to close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.

At June 30, 2025, Global Select Fund, International Fund, High Income Fund, and DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $1,730,338, $1,625,252, $6,446,000, and $17,552,000, respectively, which are reflected as repurchase agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2025.

For the period ended June 30, 2025, the High Income Fund had outstanding reverse repurchase agreement balance for 36 days. The average amount of borrowings was $2,063,731 and the average interest rate was 3.74% during the 36 day period.

Note 10 – Line of Credit

 

The Trust has an unsecured, uncommitted $75,000,000 line of credit with the Custodian, for the Global Select Fund, International Fund, Small Company Fund, High Income Fund, and Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund (the “Five Funds”) expiring on April 26, 2026. Under this agreement, borrowing interest rate is equal to the sum of applicable margin of 1.00%, and applicable rate of 0.10%, plus the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) Overnight Bank Funding Rate. There is no annual commitment fee on the uncommitted line of credit. There was $25,000 annual administrative fee charged at the May 1, 2025 renewal.

Amounts outstanding to the Five Funds under the Facility at no time shall exceed in the aggregate at any time the least of (a) $75,000,000; (b) 10% of the value of the total assets of each Fund less such Fund’s total liabilities not represented by senior securities less the value of any assets of the Fund pledged to, or otherwise segregated for the benefit of a party other than the Custodian and in connection with a liability not reflected in the calculation of the Fund’s total liabilities.

Note 11 – Principal Risks

 

Below are summaries of the principal risks of investing in one or more of the Funds, each of which could adversely affect a Fund’s net asset value, yield and total return. Each risk listed below does not necessarily apply to each Fund, and you should read a Fund’s prospectus carefully for a description of the principal risks associated with investing in a particular Fund.

 

 
Notes to Financial Statements         91


Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

 

Active Management Risk. Each Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the portfolio managers’ success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. A Fund’s investment strategy may fail to produce the intended results. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective. A sub-advisor’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular securities may prove to be incorrect, and the sub-advisor may not anticipate actual market movements or the impact of economic conditions generally. No matter how well a portfolio manager evaluates market conditions, the securities a portfolio manager chooses may fail to produce the intended result, and you could lose money on your investment in a Fund.

 

 

Asset-Backed Securities Risk. This is the risk that the impairment of the value of the collateral underlying a security in which the High Income Fund invest, such as the non-payment of loans, will result in a reduction in the value of the security. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the value of issuers or collateral.

 

 

Below Investment-Grade Fixed Income Securities Risk. This is the risk of investing in below investment-grade fixed income securities (also known as “junk bonds”), which may be greater than that of higher rated fixed income securities. These securities are rated Ba1 through C by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) or BB+ through D by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group (“S&P”) (or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization), or, if not rated by Moody’s or S&P, are considered by the sub-advisors to be of similar quality. These securities have greater risk of default than higher rated securities. The market value of these securities is more sensitive to corporate developments and economic conditions and can be volatile. Market conditions can diminish liquidity and make accurate valuations difficult to obtain.

 

 

Collateral Risk. If the High Income Fund and DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF’s financial instruments are secured by collateral, the issuer may have difficulty liquidating the collateral and/or the Fund may have difficulty enforcing its rights under the terms of the securities if an issuer defaults. Collateral may be insufficient or the Fund’s right to the collateral may be set aside by a court. Collateral will generally consist of assets that may not be readily liquidated, including for example, equipment, inventory, work in the process of manufacture, real property and payments to become due under contracts or other receivable obligations. There is no assurance that the liquidation of those assets would satisfy an issuer’s obligations under a financial instrument. Non-affiliates and affiliates of issuers of financial instruments may provide collateral in the form of secured and unsecured guarantees and/or security interests in assets that they own, which may also be insufficient to satisfy an issuer’s obligations under a financial instrument.

 

 

Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations Risk. Collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) bear many of the same risks as other forms of asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, credit risk and default risk. As they are backed by pools of loans, CLOs also bear similar risks to investing in loans directly. CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield. CLOs may experience substantial losses attributable to loan defaults. Losses caused by defaults on underlying assets are borne first by the holders of subordinate tranches. The High Income Fund’s investment in CLOs may decrease in market value when the CLO experiences loan defaults or credit impairment, the disappearance of a subordinate tranche, or market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class.

Collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) are structured similarly to CLOs and bear the same risks as CLOs including interest rate risk, credit risk and default risk. CDOs are subject to additional risks because they are backed by pools of assets other than loans including securities (such as other asset-backed securities), synthetic instruments or bonds and may be highly leveraged. Like CLOs, losses incurred by a CDO are borne first by holders of subordinate tranches. Accordingly, the risks of CDOs depend largely on the type of underlying collateral and the tranche of CDOs in which the Fund invests. For example, CDOs that obtain their exposure through synthetic investments entail the risks associated with derivative instruments.

 

 

Commodity Risk. Exposure to the commodities markets (including financial futures markets) may subject the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF, through its investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is advised by its respective sub-advisor, to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Prices of commodities and related contracts may fluctuate significantly over short periods for a variety of reasons, including changes in interest rates, supply and demand relationships and balances of payments and trade; weather and natural disasters; governmental, agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies, public health crises and trade or price wars among commodity producers or buyers. The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions and other disruptions. U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices which may occur during a single business day. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices.

 

 

Consumer Staples Sector Risk. Certain of the Funds, through the implementation of their respective investment strategies, may from time to time invest a significant portion of their assets in the consumer staples sector, which includes, for example, the food and staples retailing industry, the food, beverage and tobacco industry and the household and personal products industry. This sector can be significantly affected by, among other factors, the regulation of various product components and production methods, marketing campaigns and changes in the global economy, consumer spending and consumer demand. Tobacco companies, in particular, may be

 

 
92       Litman Gregory Funds Trust


Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

  adversely affected by new laws, regulations and litigations. Companies in the consumer staples sector may also be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced by unpredictable factors. These companies may be subject to severe competition, which may have an adverse impact on their profitability.

 

 

Convertible Securities Risk. This is the risk that the market value of convertible securities may fluctuate due to changes in, among other things, interest rates; other general economic conditions; industry fundamentals; market sentiment; the issuer’s operating results, financial statements, and credit ratings; and the market value of the underlying common or preferred stock.

 

 

Corporate Debt Obligations Risk. Corporate debt obligations are subject to the risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on the obligations. Therefore, the High Income Fund, and the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund may be indirectly exposed to such risks associated with corporate debt obligations.

 

 

Country/Regional Risk. World events – such as political upheaval, financial troubles, or natural disasters – may adversely affect the value of securities issued by companies in foreign countries or regions. Because each of the Global Select Fund and International Fund may invest a large portion of its assets in securities of companies located in any one country or region, including emerging markets, the Fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that area. This risk is heightened in emerging markets.

 

 

Currency Risk. This is the risk that investing in foreign currencies may expose the Fund to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and that such fluctuations in the exchange rates may negatively affect an investment related to a currency or denominated in a foreign currency. All of the Funds may invest in foreign currencies for hedging purposes.

 

 

Cybersecurity Risk. Information and technology systems relied upon by the Funds, the Advisor, the sub-advisors, the Funds’ service providers (including, but not limited to, Fund accountants, custodians, transfer agents, administrators, distributors and other financial intermediaries) and/or the issuers of securities in which a Fund invests may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons, security breaches, usage errors, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. Although the Advisor has implemented measures to manage risks relating to these types of events, if these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, significant investment may be required to fix or replace them. The failure of these systems and/or of disaster recovery plans could cause significant interruptions in the operations of the Funds, the Advisor, the sub-advisors, the Funds’ service providers and/or issuers of securities in which a Fund invests and may result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information relating to investors (and the beneficial owners of investors). Such a failure could also harm the reputation of the Funds, the Advisor, the sub-advisors, the Funds’ service providers and/or issuers of securities in which a Fund invests, subject such entities and their respective affiliates to legal claims or otherwise affect their business and financial performance.

 

 

Derivatives Risk. This is the risk that an investment in derivatives may not correlate completely to the performance of the underlying securities and may be volatile and that the insolvency of the counterparty to a derivative instrument could cause the Fund to lose all or substantially all of its investment in the derivative instrument, as well as the benefits derived therefrom.

 

   

Options Risk. This is the risk that an investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves and may be subject to a complete loss of the amounts paid as premiums to purchase the options.

 

   

Futures Contracts Risk. This is the risk that an investment in futures contracts may be subject to losses that exceed the amount of the premiums paid and may subject the Fund’s net asset value to greater volatility.

 

   

P-Notes Risk. This is the risk that the performance results of P-Notes will not replicate exactly the performance of the issuers or markets that the P-Notes seek to replicate. Investments in P-Notes involve risks normally associated with a direct investment in the underlying securities as well as additional risks, such as counterparty risk.

 

   

Swaps Risk. Risks inherent in the use of swaps include: (1) swap contracts may not be assigned without the consent of the counterparty; (2) potential default of the counterparty to the swap; (3) absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular swap at any time; and (4) possible inability of the Fund to close out the swap transaction at a time that otherwise would be favorable for it to do so.

 

 

Dividend Paying Securities Risk. The Fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying securities could cause the Fund to underperform funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends. Stocks of companies with a history of paying dividends may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as most other stocks, and a sharp rise in interest rates or economic downturn could cause a company to unexpectedly reduce or eliminate its dividend. In addition, issuers of dividend-paying stocks typically have discretion to defer or stop paying dividends. If the dividend-paying stocks held by the Fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the Fund’s ability to generate income may be adversely affected.

 

 

 
Notes to Financial Statements         93


Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

 

Emerging Markets Risk. A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries are those with immature economic and political structures, and investing in emerging markets entails greater risk than in developed markets. Such risks could include those related to government dependence on a few industries or resources, government-imposed taxes on foreign investment or limits on the removal of capital from a country, unstable government, and volatile markets.

 

 

Equity Securities Risk. This is the risk that the value of equity securities may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to factors affecting the general market, an entire industry or sector, or particular companies. These factors include, without limitation, adverse changes in economic conditions, the general outlook for corporate earnings, interest rates or investor sentiment; increases in production costs; and significant management decisions. This risk is greater for small- and medium-sized companies, which tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments than larger companies.

 

 

ETF Risk. The DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF and the Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF are each an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, each is exposed to the following risks:

 

   

Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, shares of the Fund (“Shares”) may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.

 

   

Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used.

 

   

Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

 

   

Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any losses caused by a decrease in NAV.

 

   

Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares.

 

 

European Investment Risk. Each of the Global Select Fund and International Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in issuers based in Western Europe and the United Kingdom (“UK”). The economies of countries in Europe are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one country in Europe can have an adverse impact on other European countries. Efforts by the member countries of the European Union (“EU”) to continue to unify their economic and monetary policies may increase the potential for similarities in the movements of European markets and reduce the potential investment benefits of diversification within the region. However, the substance of these policies may not address the needs of all European economies. European financial markets have in recent years experienced increased volatility due to concerns with some countries’ high levels of sovereign debt, budget deficits and unemployment. Markets have also been affected by the withdrawal of the UK from the EU (an event commonly known as “Brexit”). On January 31, 2020, the UK officially withdrew from the EU. While the long-term consequences of Brexit remain unclear, Brexit has already resulted in periods of volatility in European and global financial markets. There remains significant market uncertainty regarding Brexit’s ramifications, and the range and potential implications of possible political, regulatory, economic and market outcomes are difficult to predict. The U.K. and Europe may be less stable than they have been in recent years, and investments in the U.K. and the EU may be difficult to value, or subject to greater or more frequent volatility. In the longer term, there is likely to be a period of significant political, regulatory and commercial uncertainty as the U.K. seeks to negotiate the terms of its future trading relationships. The U.K. and European

 

 
94       Litman Gregory Funds Trust


Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

  economies and the broader global economy could be significantly impacted, which could potentially have an adverse effect on the value of a Fund’s investments. Brexit may also cause additional member states to contemplate departing from the EU, which would likely perpetuate political and economic instability in the region and cause additional market disruption in global financial markets.

 

 

Financial Sector Risk. A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in the financial services sector and, therefore, the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector, including changes in interest rates, government regulation, the rate of defaults on corporate, consumer and government debt and the availability and cost of capital.

 

 

Fixed Income Securities Risk. Interest rates may go up resulting in a decrease in value of the securities held by a Fund. Fixed income securities held by a Fund are also subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, call risk and liquidity risk, which are more fully described below.

 

   

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of principal and interest. A credit rating assigned to a particular debt security is essentially an opinion as to the credit quality of an issuer and may prove to be inaccurate. There is also the risk that a bond issuer may “call,” or repay, its high yielding bonds before their maturity dates.

 

   

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates may go up resulting in a decrease in the value of the securities held by a Fund. Interest rates have been historically low, so a Fund faces a heightened risk that interest rates may rise. Debt securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment.

 

   

Call Risk. During periods of declining interest rates, a bond issuer may “call” or repay its high yielding bonds before their maturity dates.

 

   

Liquidity Risk. Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that a Fund would like. Trading opportunities are more limited for fixed income securities that have not received any credit ratings, have received ratings below investment grade or are not widely held. The values of these securities may fluctuate more sharply than those of other securities, and a Fund may experience some difficulty in closing out positions in these securities at prevailing market prices.

 

 

Foreign Investment and Emerging Markets Risks. This is the risk that an investment in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may cause the Funds to experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to factors such as currency conversion rate fluctuations, currency blockages, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, accounting and auditing standards, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, and smaller and less-strict regulation of securities markets. These risks are greater in emerging markets.

 

 

Forward Contracts Risk. Forward contracts involve an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract as agreed by the parties in an amount and at a price set at the time of the contract. At the maturity of a forward contract, a fund may either accept or make delivery of the currency specified in the contract or, at or prior to maturity, enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting contract. A Fund may invest in non-deliverable forwards, which are cash-settled, short-term forward contracts on foreign currencies that are non-convertible and that may be thinly traded or illiquid. The use of forward contracts involves various risks, including the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and the risk that the counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligations.

 

 

General Market Risk; Recent Market Events. The value of a Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Fund’s investments and other factors affecting the securities markets generally. Certain investments selected for a Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time. The value of a Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes dramatically and unpredictably, based on current market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse political or economic conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the fixed income markets or adverse investor sentiment.

 

 

Geopolitical Events Risk. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in a Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, trade disputes, supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, cybersecurity events, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, territorial invasions and global economic sanctions implemented in response, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long-term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets.

 

 

Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks, as a group, may be out of favor with the market and underperform value stocks or the overall equity market. Growth stocks are generally more sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks primarily because their prices are based heavily on the future expectations of the economy and the stock’s issuing company.

Healthcare Sector Risk. A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in the healthcare sector. The profitability of companies in the healthcare sector may be adversely affected by government regulations and government healthcare programs, increases or decreases in the cost of medical products and services and product liability claims, among other factors. Many healthcare companies are heavily dependent on patent protection, and the expiration of a company’s patent may adversely affect that company’s profitability. Healthcare companies are subject to competitive forces that may result in price discounting, and may be thinly capitalized and susceptible to product obsolescence.

 

 

High-Yield Fixed Income Securities Risk. The fixed income securities held by a Fund that are rated below investment grade are subject to additional risk factors such as increased possibility of default, illiquidity of the security, and changes in value based on public perception of the issuer. Such securities are generally considered speculative because they present a greater risk of loss, including default, than higher quality debt securities.

 

 

Industrial Sector Risk. A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in the industrial sector. Companies in the industrial sector could be affected by, among other things, government regulation, world events and global economic conditions, insurance costs, and labor relations issues.

 

 

Inflation Risk. At any time, the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF may have significant investments in cash or cash equivalents. When a substantial portion of a portfolio is held in cash or cash equivalents, there is the risk that the value of the cash account, including interest, will not keep pace with inflation, thus reducing purchasing power over time.

 

 

Investment in Investment Companies Risk. This is the risk that investing in other investment companies, including ETFs, CEFs, BDCs, unit investment trusts and open-end funds, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Moreover, the High Income Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying vehicles’ expenses, which will reduce the Fund’s performance. In addition, investments in an ETF are subject to, among other risks, the risk that the ETF’s shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the net asset value of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the ETF’s shares. BDCs may carry risks similar to those of a private equity or venture capital fund. BDC company securities are not redeemable at the option of the shareholder and they may trade in the market at a discount to their net asset value. BDCs usually trade at a discount to their net asset value because they invest in unlisted securities and have limited access to capital markets. Shares of CEFs also frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value for those and other reasons.

 

 

Investment Selection Risk. The specific investments held in the Fund’s investment portfolio may underperform other funds in the same asset class or benchmarks that are representative of the general performance of the asset class because of a portfolio manager’s choice of securities.

 

 

Investments in Loan Risk. Investments in loans, including loan syndicates and other direct lending opportunities, involve special types of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk and prepayment risk. Loans may offer a fixed or floating interest rate. Loans are often generally below investment grade and may be unrated. The High Income Fund’s investments in loans can also be difficult to value accurately and may be more susceptible to liquidity risk than fixed-income instruments of similar credit quality and/or maturity. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the value of the collateral for the loan may be insufficient or unavailable to cover the borrower’s obligations should the borrower fail to make payments or become insolvent. Participations in loans may subject the Fund to the credit risk of both the borrower and the issuer of the participation and may make enforcement of loan covenants, if any, more difficult for the Fund as legal action may have to go through the issuer of the participations. Transactions in loans are often subject to long settlement periods, thus potentially limiting the ability of the Fund to invest sale proceeds in other investments and to use proceeds to meet its current redemption obligations. In addition, many banks have been weakened by the recent financial crisis, and it may be difficult for the Fund to obtain an accurate picture of a lending bank’s financial condition.

 

 

Large Capitalization Investing Risk. The securities of large-capitalization companies may underperform securities of smaller companies or the market as a whole. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.

 

 

Large Shareholder Purchase and Redemption Risk. This is the risk that a Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell its securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s net asset value and liquidity. Similarly, large share purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. In addition, a large redemption could result in the Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio.

Leverage Risk. Leverage may result from certain transactions, including the use of derivatives and borrowing, particularly with respect to the High Income Fund. Although leverage creates an opportunity for increased income and gain, it also creates certain risks. For example, the use of leverage may cause the effect of an increase or decrease in the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities to be magnified and the Fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used. Under normal circumstances, the High Income Fund may each borrow amounts up to one third of the value of its total assets except that it may exceed this limit to satisfy redemption requests or for other temporary purposes.

 

 

Liquidity and Valuation Risk. It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by iM Global for purposes of the Fund’s net asset value, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what iM Global believes should be the price of the investment. Valuation of portfolio investments may be difficult, such as during periods of market turmoil or reduced liquidity, and for investments that may, for example, trade infrequently or irregularly. In these and other circumstances, an investment may be valued using fair value methodologies, which are inherently subjective, reflect good faith judgments based on available information and may not accurately estimate the price at which the Fund could sell the investment at that time. These risks may be heightened for fixed-income instruments because of the near historically low interest rate environment as of the date of this prospectus. Based on its investment strategies, a significant portion of the Fund’s investments can be difficult to value and potentially less liquid and thus particularly prone to the foregoing risks.

 

 

Managed Futures Strategy Risk. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF will utilize various investment strategies that involve the use of complex investment techniques, and there is no guarantee that these strategies will succeed. The use of such strategies and techniques may subject the Fund to greater volatility and loss. There can be no assurance that utilizing a certain approach or model will achieve a particular level of return or reduce volatility and loss.

 

 

Management Risk. A Fund that is actively managed may not meet its investment objective based on the portfolio managers’ success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.

 

 

Market Risk. The value of a Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Fund’s investments and other factors affecting the securities markets generally. Certain investments selected for a Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time. The value of a Fund’s investment may go up or down, sometimes dramatically and unpredictably, based on current market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse political or economic conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the fixed income markets or adverse investor sentiment.

 

 

Mid-Sized Companies Risk. Securities of companies with mid-sized market capitalizations are generally more volatile and less liquid than the securities of large-capitalization companies. Mid-sized companies may be more reliant on a few products, services or key personnel, which can make it riskier than investing in larger companies with more diverse product lines and structured management. Mid-sized companies may have relatively short operating histories or may be newer public companies. Some of these companies have more aggressive capital structures, including higher debt levels, than large-cap companies, or are involved in rapidly growing or changing industries and/or new technologies, which pose additional risks.

 

 

Models and Data Risk. This is the risk that one or all of the proprietary systematic and quantitative models may fail to identify profitable opportunities at any time. Furthermore, the models may incorrectly identify opportunities and these misidentified opportunities may lead to substantial losses for the Fund. Models may be predictive in nature and such models may result in an incorrect assessment of future events. Data used in the construction of models may prove to be inaccurate or stale, which may result in losses for the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF.

 

 

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. This is the risk of investing in mortgaged-backed securities, which includes interest rate risk, prepayment risk and the risk of defaults on the mortgage loans underlying these securities.

 

 

Municipal Market Risk. Factors unique to the municipal bond market may negatively affect the value of a Fund’s investment in municipal bonds. These factors include political or legislative changes, and uncertainties related to the tax status of the securities and the rights of investors in the securities. A Fund may invest in a group of municipal obligations that are related in such a way that an economic, business, or political development affecting one would also affect the others. Some municipal obligations carry additional risk, such as those that are tied only to a specific stream of revenues. In addition, the municipal bond market, or portions thereof, may experience substantial volatility or become distressed, particularly during recessions or similar periods of economic stress, and individual bonds may go into default, which would lead to heightened risks of investing in municipal bonds generally. Actual or perceived changes in the financial health of the municipal market as a whole or in part may affect the valuation of debt securities held by a Fund.

 

 

Multi-Style Management Risk. Because portions of a Fund’s assets are managed by different portfolio managers using different styles, the Fund could experience overlapping security transactions. Certain portfolio managers may be purchasing securities at the same time other portfolio managers may be selling those same securities, which may lead to higher transaction expenses compared to a Fund using a single investment management style.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) – (Continued)

 

 

New Fund Risk. A Fund that is newly formed and has limited operating history for investors to evaluate. Its performance may not represent how the Fund is expected to or may perform in the long term. In addition, new funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies.

 

 

Operational Risk. Operational risks include human error, changes in personnel, system changes, faults in communication, and failures in systems, technology, or processes. Various operational events or circumstances are outside an Advisor’s or Sub-Advisor’s control, including instances at third parties. A Fund, its Advisor and Sub-Advisor seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address these risks.

 

 

Portfolio Turnover Risk. This is the risk that a Fund may experience high portfolio turnover rates as a result of its investment strategies. High portfolio turnover rates may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares of a Fund are held in a taxable account as compared to shares in investment companies that hold investments for a longer period. High portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater expenses to a Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities, which may result in adverse tax consequences to a Fund’s shareholders as compared to shares in investment companies that hold investments for a longer period.

 

 

Prepayment and Extension Risk. In times of declining interest rates, a Fund’s higher yielding securities will be prepaid, and the Fund will have to replace them with securities having a lower yield. Rising interest rates could extend the life of securities with lower payment rates. This is known as extension risk and may increase a Fund’s sensitivity to rising rates and its potential for price declines.

 

 

Public Health Emergency Risk. This is the risk that pandemics and other public health emergencies, including outbreaks of infectious diseases such as the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), can result, and in the case of COVID-19 is resulting, in market volatility and disruption, and materially and adversely impact economic conditions in ways that cannot be predicted, all of which could result in substantial investment losses. Containment efforts and related restrictive actions by governments and businesses have significantly diminished and disrupted global economic activity across many industries. Less developed countries and their health systems may be more vulnerable to these impacts. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 or other health emergencies on global economic conditions and businesses is impossible to predict accurately. Ongoing and potential additional material adverse economic effects of indeterminate duration and severity are possible. The resulting adverse impact on the value of an investment in a Fund could be significant and prolonged.

 

 

Regulatory Risk. Governments, agencies or other regulatory bodies may adopt or change laws or regulations that could adversely affect the issuer, or market value, of an instrument held by a Fund or that could adversely impact the Fund’s performance.

 

 

Sector Concentration Risk. A Fund may concentrate its investments in a narrow segment of the total market. At June 30, 2025, Small Company Fund has 26.7% of net assets invested in the Industrials sector of the stock market. Because of this, the Fund is subject to certain additional risks as compared to investing in a more diversified portfolio of investments.

 

 

Sector Weightings Risk. To the extent that a Fund emphasizes, from time to time, investments in a particular sector, the Fund will be subject to a greater degree to the risks particular to that sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single sector. By focusing its investments in a particular sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous sectors.

 

 

Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. As a result, the value of a Fund’s shares may fall. The value of Fund shares could also fall if a loan is called and the Fund is required to liquidate reinvested collateral at a loss or if the Fund is unable to reinvest cash collateral at rates which exceed the costs involved.

 

 

Short Position Risk. A Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. A Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short position transaction.

 

 

Smaller Companies Risk. A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in the securities of small- and mid-sized companies. Securities of small and mid-cap companies are generally more volatile and less liquid than the securities of large-cap companies. This is because smaller companies may be more reliant on a few products, services or key personnel, which can make it riskier than investing in larger companies with more diverse product lines and structured management.

 

 

Special Situations Risk. Investments in special situations (undervalued equities, merger arbitrage situations, distressed companies, etc.) may involve greater risks when compared to other investments a Fund may make due to a variety of factors. For example, mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, liquidations or recapitalizations may fail or not be completed on the terms originally contemplated, and expected developments may not occur in a timely manner, if at all.

Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted in the Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to continue to operate as it does currently and could adversely affect the Fund.

 

 

Tax Risk. The federal income tax treatment of the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF’s income from the Subsidiary may be negatively affected by future legislation, Treasury Regulations (proposed or final), and/or other Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance or authorities that could affect the character, timing of recognition, and/or amount of each Fund’s investment company taxable income and/ or net capital gains and, therefore, the distributions it makes. If a Fund failed the source of income test for any taxable year but was eligible to and did cure the failure, it could incur potentially significant additional federal income tax expenses. If, on the other hand, a Fund failed to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year and was ineligible to or otherwise did not cure the failure, it would be subject to federal income tax at the fund-level on its taxable income at the regular corporate tax rate (without reduction for distributions to shareholders), with the consequence that its income available for distribution to shareholders would be reduced and distributions from its current or accumulated earnings and profits would generally be taxable to its shareholders as dividend income.

Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of a Fund and/or the Subsidiary or the Alternative Subsidiary to operate as described in the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) and could adversely affect each Fund. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiary or the Alternative Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Subsidiary or the Alternative Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns.

 

 

TBAs and Dollar Rolls Risk. TBA (“to-be-announced”) and dollar roll transactions present special risks to the High Income Fund. Although the particular TBA securities must meet industry-accepted “good delivery” standards, there can be no assurance that a security purchased on a forward commitment basis will ultimately be issued or delivered by the counterparty. During the settlement period, the Fund will still bear the risk of any decline in the value of the security to be delivered. TBAs and other forward settling securities involve leverage because they can provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the fund’s initial investment. Leverage can magnify investment risks and cause losses to be realized more quickly. While dollar roll transactions involve the simultaneous purchase and sale of substantially similar TBA securities with different settlement dates, these transactions do not require the purchase and sale of identical securities so the characteristics of the security delivered to the Fund may be less favorable than the security delivered to the dealer.

 

 

Technology Investment Risk. A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in the technology sector, which is a very volatile segment of the market. The nature of technology is that it is rapidly changing. Therefore, products or services that may initially look promising may subsequently fail or become obsolete. In addition, many technology companies are younger, smaller and unseasoned companies which may not have established products, an experienced management team, or earnings history.

 

 

Unfavorable Tax Treatment Risk. Various types of investments in which the High Income Fund may invest, including derivatives, mortgage related securities, and REITs, may cause the returns of those Funds to be in the form of net investment income or short-term capital gains, some of which may be distributed to shareholders and taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Therefore, shareholders may have a greater need to pay regular taxes than compared to other investment strategies that hold investments longer. Due to this investment strategy, it may be preferable for certain shareholders to invest in the High Income Fund through pre-tax or tax-deferred accounts as compared to investment through currently taxable accounts. Potential shareholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors in this regard.

 

 

U.S. Government and U.S. Agency Obligations Risk. Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities have different levels of U.S. Government credit support. Some are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, while others are supported by only the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government or only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities because they are not obligated to do so by law. Guarantees of timely prepayment of principal and interest do not assure that the market prices and yields of the securities are guaranteed nor do they guarantee the NAV or performance of a Fund, which will vary with changes in interest rates, the sub-advisor’s performance and other market conditions.

 

 

U.S. Trade Policy Risk. In the U.S., the Trump administration recently enacted and proposed to enact significant new tariffs on imports from certain countries. Additionally, President Trump has directed various federal agencies to further evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy and there has been ongoing discussion and commentary regarding potential significant changes to U.S. trade policies, treaties and tariffs. There continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and,

  in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict a portfolio company’s access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operations, which in turn could negatively impact a Fund.

 

 

Value Stock Risk. Value stocks are stocks of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor and, in the opinion of the manager, undervalued. The value of a security believed by a manager to be undervalued may never reach what is believed to be its full (intrinsic) value, or such security’s value may decrease.

Note 12 – New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In this reporting period, the Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds’ financial position or the results of their operations. An operating segment is a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in making resource allocation decisions and assessing segment performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Funds’ Advisor acts as the Funds’ CODM. The CODM has determined that the Funds have a single operating segment because the CODM monitors the operating results of the Funds as a whole and evaluates performance in accordance with the Funds’ principal investment strategies disclosed in their prospectus. The CODM uses these measures to assess Funds performance and allocate resources effectively. The Funds’ total returns, expense ratios, and changes in net assets which among others are used by the CODM to assess Funds performance and to make resource allocation decisions for the Funds’ single segment are consistent with that presented within the Funds’ financial statements.

Note 13 – Fund Reorganizations

 

As of the close of business on April 17, 2025, pursuant to Agreements and Plans of Reorganization previously approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of the iMGP Alternative Strategies Fund (the “Alternative Strategies Fund”) were transferred to the High Income Fund. The Board determined that the reorganizations were in the best interest of the Alternative Strategies Fund’s shareholders, and did not dilute the interests of existing shareholders. The High income Fund has substantially the same investment objective and strategy as the Alternative Strategies Fund. Shareholders of the Institutional Class shares of the Alternative Strategies Fund received 1.0861 Institutional Class shares of the High Income Fund, which is equivalent in net asset value to the value of their shares of the Alternative Strategies Fund. The reorganizations qualified as a tax-free reorganization to the iMGP Funds’ shareholders. For financial reporting purposes, the acquiring fund is deemed to be the accounting survivor and as a result, the financial statements and financial highlights do not reflect the operations of the acquired fund. The assets received and shares issued by the High Income Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Alternative Strategies Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the High Income Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The costs of the Reorganization were shared equally by the Alternative Strategies Fund and the High Income Fund. Information with respect to the net assets and other relevant operating data for the acquired fund on the merger date are included below:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

Assuming the acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2025, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Funds, the High Income Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2025, are as follows:

 

Acquiring Fund   High Income Fund  

Net investment income

  $ 12,115,838

Total increase from operations

  $ 16,315,496  
 

 

 

 

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization was

completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Alternative Strategies Fund that have been included in the High Income Fund’s Statement of Operations since April 17, 2025.

Board Consideration of Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with Zadig Asset Management

 

At a meeting held on March 12, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including the trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved a new investment sub-advisory agreement by and between iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC (the “Advisor” or iM Global”) and Zadig Asset Management (“Zadig”) (the “Zadig Sub-Advisory Agreement) pursuant to which Zadig will serve as a sub-advisor to the iMGP International Fund (the “Fund”) and manage a portion of the Fund’s assets.

At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the hiring of Zadig as a sub-advisor to the Fund and the New Zadig Sub-Advisory Agreement. In determining whether to approve the New Zadig Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board and the Independent Trustees considered the materials prepared by the Advisor and received in advance of and at the Meeting and other information, which included, without limitation: (i) confirmation that the standard form of the sub-advisory agreement used by the Fund would be used in substantially that form for the New Zadig Sub-Advisory Agreement; (ii) information regarding the process the Advisor undertook in recommending Zadig for Board approval; (iii) information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services that Zadig is expected to provide to the Fund; (iv) information regarding Zadig’s reputation, investment management business, personnel, and operations; (v) information regarding Zadig’s brokerage and trading policies and practices; (vi) information regarding the level of sub-advisory fees to be charged by Zadig; (vii) information regarding Zadig’s compliance program; (viii) information regarding Zadig’s historical performance returns managing its various strategies, including management’s discussions regarding Zadig’s performance with respect to its strategies that correspond to those of the International Fund, namely the Memnon European strategy; and (ix) information regarding Zadig’s financial condition. The Board also considered the substance of its discussions with representatives of the Advisor at the Meeting. In particular, the Board and the Independent Trustees focused on the following:

1. The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Expected to be Provided

The Board reviewed the services expected to be provided to the International Fund by Zadig. The Board considered Zadig’s investment experience, philosophy and process. It was noted that Zadig aims to construct concentrated portfolios that are diversified across sectors, style-agnostic, and constantly evolving, seeking to outperform the market regardless of the environment or events by actively trading the portfolio looking for stocks with mispricing and potential catalysts for outperformance. The Board also considered the due diligence process undertaken by the Advisor and the Advisor’s favorable assessment of the nature and quality of the investment sub-advisory services expected to be provided to the International Fund by Zadig.

In light of the foregoing, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the services expected to be provided by Zadig would be satisfactory and would have the potential to benefit the International Fund.

2. Investment Performance of Zadig

The Board considered Zadig’s performance record among its various strategies, including management’s discussions regarding Zadig’s performance with respect to its strategies that correspond to those of the International Fund, namely the Memnon European strategy. The Advisor’s conviction in the Memnon European strategy was noted, as well as the factors that the Advisor considered in connection with its recommendation to approve Zadig as a sub-advisor to the International Fund.

3.  Cost of the Services to be Provided and Profits to be Realized from the Relationship with the International Fund

The Board considered the proposed sub-advisory fees payable to Zadig under the New Zadig Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that such fees would be paid by the Advisor, and not the International Fund, and, thus, would not directly impact the fees to be paid by the International Fund. The Board considered that the proposed sub-advisory fees to be paid to Zadig by the Advisor under the New Zadig Sub-Advisory Agreement had been negotiated at arm’s length and fairly reflected the services to be provided by the Advisor and Zadig, respectively. Given the arm’s-length nature of the arrangement, the Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees payable to Zadig by the Advisor under the New Zadig Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate. The Board noted that a detailed analysis of profitability in general was more appropriate in the context of the Board’s consideration of the advisory agreement with the Advisor. Accordingly, considerations of Zadig’s profitability were not directly relevant to the Board’s determination to approve the New Zadig Sub-Advisory Agreement.

It was also noted that iM Square Holding 6 LLC (“iM Square”), an affiliate of the Advisor’s parent company, has less than a 20% ownership interest in Zadig. It was further noted that the Advisor is not affiliated with Zadig under the relevant provisions of the 1940 Act. The Board and Trust counsel reviewed the due diligence process employed by the Advisor in connection with its recommendation to hire Zadig as a sub-advisor to the International Fund, noting that the Advisor engaged in a robust due diligence and selection process, consistent with the process it has historically employed in analyzing and recommending sub-advisors to the Board.

In addition to looking at the factors above, the Board reviewed the non-controlling nature and structure of iM Square’s investment in Zadig and noted that iM Square’s minority interest in Zadig did not constitute “control” over Zadig. The Board discussed the strong partnerships of the Advisor’s parent company, iM Global Partner, with investment advisors, in this case through iM Square’s partial ownership stake in

Zadig, that could enable the Advisor to bring the best nonproprietary capabilities of the parent company’s partners to the International Fund and other Funds in the Trust. The Board noted that iM Global Partner’s relationship with these partners may enable the Advisor to have greater insight into the partners’ nonproprietary compliance and business platform than is generally possible with third-party sub-advisors, aiding the ongoing monitoring of sub-advisors.

The Board noted that iM Global Partner’s relationship with these partners provided a potential benefit in areas of nonproprietary best practices, use of new technologies, and access to business platforms.

Based on such review, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee payable to Zadig would be reasonable in relation to the services expected to be provided to the International Fund.

4. The Extent to Which Economies of Scale Would be Realized as the International Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels Would Reflect Such Economies of Scale

The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the International Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board recognized that this consideration is less relevant with respect to the proposed sub-advisory fee because the Advisor will pay Zadig out of its advisory fees received from the International Fund and noted that the Board considered economies of scale for the International Fund in connection with the renewal of the Advisor’s advisory agreement with the International Fund during the Annual 15(c) Process.

5. Fall-Out Benefits

The Board considered that there may be financial benefits that Zadig derives from its relationship with the Advisor and the International Fund, including soft dollar commission benefits generated through Fund portfolio transactions. The Board did not view this consideration as having a material effect on its overall view of the reasonableness of the proposed sub-advisory fee to Zadig.

Conclusion

The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the New Zadig Sub-Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, and that the fees are reasonable in light of the services expected to be provided to the International Fund. Based on its discussion and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the New Zadig Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interest of the International Fund and its shareholders and does not involve a conflict of interest from which the Advisor or a sub-advisor affiliated with the Advisor’s parent company derives an inappropriate advantage.

Board Consideration of Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with Dolan for the iMGP Dolan McEniry Fixed Income Fund

 

At a meeting held on March 12, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including the trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved a new investment sub-advisory agreement by and between iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC (the “Advisor” or iM Global”) and Dolan McEniry Capital Management, LLC (“Dolan”) (the “New Dolan Sub-Advisory Agreement) pursuant to which Dolan will serve as the sub-advisor to the iMGP Dolan McEniry Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”) and manage the Fund’s assets.

At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the hiring of Dolan as the sub-advisor to the Fund and the New Dolan Sub-Advisory Agreement. In determining whether to approve the New Dolan Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board and the Independent Trustees considered the materials prepared by the Advisor and received in advance of and at the Meeting and other information, which included, without limitation: (i) confirmation that the standard form of the sub-advisory agreement used by the Fund would be used in substantially that form for the New Dolan Sub-Advisory Agreement; (ii) information regarding the process the Advisor undertook in recommending Dolan for Board approval; (iii) information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services that Dolan is expected to provide to the Fund; (iv) information regarding Dolan’s reputation, investment management business, personnel, and operations; (v) information regarding Dolan’s brokerage and trading policies and practices; (vi) information regarding the level of sub-advisory fees to be charged by Dolan; (vii) information regarding Dolan’s compliance program; (viii) information regarding Dolan’s historical performance returns managing its various strategies, including another iMGP Fund managed by Dolan; and (ix) information regarding Dolan’s financial condition. The Board also considered the substance of its discussions with representatives of the Advisor at the Meeting. In particular, the Board and the Independent Trustees focused on the following:

1. The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Expected to be Provided

The Board noted that the nature and extent of services to be provided by the Advisor to the Fund are substantially similar to the services provided by the Advisor to the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund and the other existing Funds. The Board also noted the high level of Sub-Advisor due diligence the Advisor undertakes for both the existing Funds and the Fund and the high quality of non-advisory management services the Advisor provides for the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund and the other existing Funds.

The Board reviewed the services expected to be provided to the Fund by Dolan McEniry. The Board considered Dolan McEniry’s investment experience, philosophy and process. It was noted that the investment objective of the Fund is to seek maximum real returns consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management and that Dolan McEniry seeks to provide sophisticated investment managers with a pool of privately-issued fixed income securities issued pursuant to Rule 144-A for inclusion in separately managed accounts. The Board also considered the extensive due diligence process undertaken by the Advisor and the Advisor’s favorable assessment of the nature and quality of the investment sub-advisory services expected to be provided to the Fund by Dolan McEniry. The Board further noted its familiarity with Dolan McEniry as a Sub-Advisor to the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund.

In light of the foregoing, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the services expected to be provided by the Advisor and Dolan McEniry would be satisfactory and would have the potential to benefit the Fund.

2. Investment Performance of Dolan McEniry

The Board considered the investment results the Advisor has achieved for the existing Funds, including the performance of the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund that is managed by Dolan McEniry. The Board also considered the Advisor’s conviction in the proposed investment strategy of the Fund, as well as the factors that the Advisor considered in connection with its recommendation to approve Dolan McEniry as the sub-advisor to the Fund.

Based on such review, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Fund has the potential to achieve acceptable performance.

3. Cost of the Services to be Provided and Profits to be Realized from the Relationship with the Fund

The Board reviewed the proposed management fee rate for the Fund. It was noted that there will be no management fee retained by the Advisor and that operating expenses will be limited to a to be determined high single-digit/low double-digit maximum operating expense ratio, with all expenses in excess of the established maximum absorbed by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Board noted that Dolan McEniry will be paid a sub-advisory fee of 0.26% on the assets of the Fund, which is the lowest rate paid to any fixed income sub-advisor by the Trust. The Board further considered that a majority of that sub-advisory fee will be waived to subsidize the Fund’s operating expenses for the benefit of shareholders. The Board took into account management’s discussion regarding the proposed lower fees as compared to other Funds in the Trust, including that the Fund will have a limited shareholder base from SMAs and will be less difficult to manage in terms of inflows and outflows.

The Board also considered the costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund, noting the difficulty in evaluating an investment adviser’s projected profitability with respect to a fund that is not yet operational. The Board took into account its review of the Advisor’s profitability with respect to the existing Funds during the Annual 15(c) Process but noted that the Advisor is not charging a management fee to the Fund.

The Board noted that the proposed sub-advisory fees to be paid to Dolan McEniry by the Advisor under the New Dolan McEniry Sub-Advisory Agreement had been negotiated at arm’s length and fairly reflect the services provided by the Advisor and Dolan McEniry, respectively. Given the arm’s-length nature of the arrangement, the Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees payable to Dolan McEniry by the Advisor under the New Dolan McEniry Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate. The Board noted that a detailed analysis of profitability in general was more appropriate in the context of the Board’s consideration of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. Accordingly, considerations of profitability with respect to approval of the New Dolan McEniry Sub-Advisory Agreement were not relevant to the Board’s determination to approve the New Dolan McEniry Sub-Advisory Agreement.

It was also noted that iM Square Holding 2 LLC (“iM Square 2”), an affiliate of the Advisor’s parent company, has a 45% ownership interest in Dolan McEniry. It was further noted that the Advisor is not affiliated with Dolan McEniry under the relevant provisions of the 1940 Act. The Board and Trust counsel reviewed the due diligence process employed by the Advisor in connection with its recommendation to hire Dolan McEniry as a sub-advisor to the Fund, noting that the Advisor engaged in a robust due diligence and selection process, consistent with the process it has historically employed in analyzing and recommending sub-advisors to the Board.

In addition to looking at the factors above, the Board reviewed the non-controlling nature and structure of iM Square 2’s investment in Dolan McEniry and noted that iM Square 2’s minority interest in Dolan McEniry did not constitute “control” over Dolan McEniry. The Board discussed the strong partnerships of the Advisor’s parent company, iM Global Partner, with investment advisors, in this case through iM Square 2’s partial ownership stake in Dolan McEniry, that could enable the Advisor to bring the best nonproprietary capabilities of the parent company’s partners to the Fund and other Funds in the Trust.

The Board noted that iM Global Partner’s relationship with these partners provided a potential benefit in areas of nonproprietary best practices, use of new technologies, and access to business platforms.

Based on such review, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the proposed management fee payable to the Advisor, which is expected to be zero, and the proposed sub-advisory fee payable to Dolan McEniry would be reasonable in relation to the services expected to be provided to the Fund.

4. The Extent to Which Economies of Scale Would be Realized as the Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels Would Reflect Such Economies of Scale

The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board noted that the Fund and its shareholders will benefit from the Advisor’s continued efforts to invest in its advisory organization to ensure strong research, analytic, compliance and marketing capabilities, noting that these endeavors are a means by which the Advisor is sharing economies of scale with the Fund through reinvestment in products and services that are designed to benefit the Fund and its shareholders. Based on these considerations, the Board was satisfied about the extent to which economies of scale will be shared with the Fund and its shareholders.

5. Fall-Out Benefits

The Board considered that there may be financial benefits that the Advisor, Dolan McEniry and their affiliates derive from their relationship with the Fund, including, with respect to Dolan McEniry, any soft dollar commission benefits that may be generated through portfolio transactions. The Board did not view this consideration as having a material effect on its overall view of the reasonableness of the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees for the Fund. The Board concluded that any potential benefits to be derived by the Advisor and Dolan McEniry were consistent with the services proposed to be provided by the Advisor and Dolan McEniry to the Fund.

Conclusion

The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the New Dolan McEniry Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable, and that the fees are reasonable in light of the services expected to be provided to the Fund. Based on its discussion and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that each of the Advisory Agreement and the New Dolan McEniry Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and does not involve a conflict of interest from which the Advisor or Dolan McEniry derives an inappropriate advantage.

Board Consideration of Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with D.F. Dent and Company Inc.

 

At a meeting held on June 4, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including the trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved a new investment sub-advisory agreement by and between iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC (the “Advisor” or iM Global”) and D.F. Dent and Company Inc. (“D.F. Dent”) (the “New D.F. Dent Sub-Advisory Agreement) pursuant to which D.F. Dent will serve as a sub-advisor to the iMGP Small Company Fund (the “Fund”) and manage a portion of the Fund’s assets.

At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the hiring of D.F. Dent as a sub-advisor to the Fund and the New D.F. Dent Sub-Advisory Agreement. In determining whether to approve the New D.F. Dent Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board and the Independent Trustees considered the materials prepared by the Advisor and received in advance of and at the Meeting and other information, which included, without limitation: (i) confirmation that the standard form of the sub-advisory agreement used by the Fund would be used in substantially that form for the New D. F. Dent Sub-Advisory Agreement; (ii) information regarding the process the Advisor undertook in recommending D.F. Dent for Board approval; (iii) information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services that D.F. Dent is expected to provide to the Fund; (iv) information regarding D.F. Dent’s reputation, investment management business, personnel, and operations; (v) information regarding D.F. Dent’s brokerage and trading policies and practices; (vi) information regarding the level of sub-advisory fees to be charged by D.F. Dent; (vii) information regarding D.F. Dent’s compliance program; (viii) information regarding D.F. Dent’s historical performance returns managing its various strategies, including the small cap growth strategy that corresponds to the Fund; and (ix) information regarding D.F. Dent’s financial condition. The Board also considered the substance of its discussions with representatives of the Advisor at the Meeting. In particular, the Board and the Independent Trustees focused on the following:

1. The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Expected to be Provided

The Board reviewed the services expected to be provided to the Small Company Fund by D.F. Dent. The Board considered D.F. Dent’s investment experience, philosophy and process. It was noted that D.F. Dent looks for companies that are financially strong and have sustainable growth models and prioritizes companies led by management teams it believes to be talented and ethical, as such leadership can support long-term investment success. The Board also considered the due diligence process undertaken by the Advisor and the Advisor’s favorable assessment of the nature and quality of the investment sub-advisory services expected to be provided to the Small Company Fund by D.F. Dent.

In light of the foregoing, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the services expected to be provided by D.F. Dent would have the potential to benefit the Small Company Fund.

2. Investment Performance of D.F. Dent

The Board considered D.F. Dent’s performance record with respect to its strategy that corresponds to that of the Small Company Fund. The Advisor’s conviction in D.F. Dent’s small cap growth strategy was noted, as well as the factors that the Advisor considered in connection with its recommendation to approve D.F. Dent as a sub-advisor to the Small Company Fund.

3. Cost of the Services to be Provided and Profits to be Realized from the Relationship with the Small Company Fund

The Board considered the proposed sub-advisory fees payable to D.F. Dent under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that such fees would be paid by the Advisor, and not the Small Company Fund, and, thus, would not directly impact the fees to be paid by the Small Company Fund. The Board considered that the proposed sub-advisory fees to be paid to D.F. Dent by the Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement had been negotiated at arm’s length and fairly reflected the services to be provided by the Advisor and D.F. Dent, respectively. Given the arm’s-length nature of the arrangement, the Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees payable to D.F. Dent by the Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate. The Board noted that a detailed analysis of profitability in general was more appropriate in the context of the Board’s consideration of the advisory agreement with the Advisor. Accordingly, considerations of D.F. Dent’s profitability were not directly relevant to the Board’s determination to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

4. The Extent to Which Economies of Scale Would be Realized as the Small Company Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels Would Reflect Such Economies of Scale

The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Small Company Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board recognized that this consideration is less relevant with respect to the proposed sub-advisory fee because the Advisor will pay D.F. Dent out of its advisory fees received from the Small Company Fund and noted that the Board considered economies of scale for the Small Company Fund in connection with the renewal of the Advisor’s advisory agreement with the Small Company Fund during the Annual 15(c) Process.

Conclusion

The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling.

Board Consideration of and Continuation and Renewal of Advisory Agreements for the iMGP Funds

 

At an in-person meeting held on June 4, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Litman Gregory Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved for an additional one-year term through June 30, 2026 (i) the Unified Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) with respect to the iMGP Global Select Fund (the “Global Select Fund”), the iMGP International Fund (the “International Fund”), the iMGP Small Company Fund (the “Small Company Fund”), the iMGP High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund”), and the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund (the “Corporate Bond Fund”); (ii) the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “ETF Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF (the “Managed Futures ETF”) and the iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF (the “Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF”) (each of the Global Select Fund, the International Fund, the Small Company Fund, the High Income Fund, the Corporate Bond Fund, the Managed Futures ETF, and the Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), and (iii) the investment sub-advisory agreements (the “Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements,” and collectively with the Investment Advisory Agreement and the ETF Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”) between the Advisor and (a) each of Polen Capital Management, LLC (“Polen Capital”) and Scharf Investments, LLC with respect to the Global Select Fund; (b) each of Harris, Lazard Asset Management LLC, Lazard Asset Management LLC, and Polen Capital Management, LLC with respect to the International Fund; (c) Segall Bryant & Hamill, LLC with respect to the Small Company Fund; (d) each of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC and Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC with respect to the High Income Fund; (e) Dynamic Beta investments, LLC (“DBi”) with respect to the Managed Futures ETF; (f) Dolan McEniry Capital Management, LLC with respect to the Corporate Bond Fund; and (g) Berkshire Asset Management, LLC with respect to the Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF (each of the foregoing sub-advisors, a “Sub-Advisor,” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisors”). The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also approved the continuation for an additional one-year term through April 30, 2027 of (i) the Restated Contractual Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Global Select Fund, the International Fund, the High Income Fund, and the Small Company Fund, and the Advisor (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”) and (ii) the Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Global Select Fund, the High Income Fund, the Small Company Fund, and the Corporate Bond Fund, and the Advisor (the “Operating Expenses Limitation Agreements” and collectively with the Fee Waiver Agreement and the Advisory Agreements, the “Agreements”).

Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees had requested detailed information from the Advisor regarding the Funds. The materials provided by the Advisor were extensive, including advisory fee and expense comparisons, performance comparisons, Advisor profitability information, and a summary of compliance programs of the Sub-Advisors. In addition, the Independent Trustees discussed the renewal of the Agreements with representatives of the Advisor and were advised by independent counsel on these and other relevant matters.

The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also noted that they had received extensive information about, and presentations from, various members of senior management at the Advisor regarding the Funds throughout the year, including, without limitation, information on and/or discussion of the Funds’ and each Sub-Advisor’s investment results; portfolio composition; portfolio trading practices; shareholder services; advisory fees and expense comparisons; the Advisor’s financial condition and profitability; compliance monitoring by the Advisor; the personnel at the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors providing investment management, compliance and other services to the Funds; and the Advisor’s process for selecting Sub-Advisors for the Funds as well as the Advisor’s ongoing oversight of the Sub-Advisors.

The information provided to the Board at the Meeting, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations. The Board did not identify any single issue or particular datum point that, in isolation, would be a controlling factor in its decision to approve or renew the Agreements. Rather, the Board considered the total mix of information provided. The following summary describes the key factors considered by the Independent Trustees (as well as the Board).

1. Nature, extent and quality of services

The Independent Trustees considered the depth and quality of the Advisor’s investment management process, including its sophisticated monitoring and oversight of the Sub-Advisors; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; the low turnover rates of its key personnel involved in the day-to-day operations of the Funds; and the overall financial strength and stability of its organization. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Advisor provided personnel to serve as officers of the Trust, including the Trust’s CCO, and that the services of the CCO were provided at a reasonable allocated cost to the Trust. The Independent Trustees discussed the high level of sub-advisor due diligence continually being undertaken by the Advisor. The Independent Trustees also noted the high quality of the non-advisory management services provided by the Advisor, such as responsiveness to shareholder inquiries and requests of the Board, as well as the preparation of high quality shareholder communications and the development of targeted marketing programs for the Funds. In addition, the Independent Trustees noted that, because the Litman Gregory Wealth Management, an affiliate of the Advisor, is a significant shareholder in certain Funds, the Advisor has an additional incentive to ensure that the Funds perform well for the shareholders. The Independent Trustees also noted that the members of senior management of the Advisor as well as many of the Independent Trustees themselves have made significant investments in certain of the Funds.

The Independent Trustees, based on guidance and information provided by the Trust’s CCO, also considered the Advisor’s policies, procedures and systems to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and its adherence to and continual enhancement of those programs; its efforts to keep the Board informed; and its attention dedicated to matters that may involve potential conflicts of interest with a Fund. The Independent Trustees considered the extent and effectiveness of the Advisor’s compliance operations and the Advisor’s oversight of the Sub-Advisors’ and other service providers’ compliance operations.

The Independent Trustees then reviewed various materials relating to the Sub-Advisors, including copies of each Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement; copies of the Form ADV for each Sub-Advisor; information on assets of the Funds managed and fees charged by each Sub-Advisor, as well as the fee levels of other funds managed by each Sub-Advisor; a summary of the compliance programs of the Sub-Advisors; and an oral report by the CCO on each Sub-Advisor’s commitment to compliance. The Independent Trustees also considered the Advisor’s lengthy and extensive due diligence process for selecting and monitoring each Sub-Advisor and the value of goodwill between the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor.

The Independent Trustees concluded that the nature, overall quality, and extent of the services provided and to be provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors are fully satisfactory.

2. Investment results

The Independent Trustees reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of each Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to peer funds and benchmark indices over various periods ended March 31, 2025. They also considered information regarding the selection, and discussed the appropriateness, of such peer funds and benchmark indices. The Independent Trustees considered the overall performance of the Funds as well as the performance of each Sub-Advisor within each Fund as compared to each Sub-Advisor’s own comparable mutual fund(s) or private fund(s) (if applicable). The Independent Trustees focused on longer-term performance, which they believe is more important than short, isolated periods for purposes of evaluating each Fund’s success in meeting its investment objective.

In particular, the Independent Trustees relied upon, among other information, the FUSE Report. The Independent Trustees noted that FUSE, and not the Advisor, selected the peer funds used in the FUSE Report and that the Advisor had supplemented the FUSE Report with additional performance comparisons.

For the Global Select Fund, the Independent Trustees compared its investment results for its Institutional shares to the MSCI ACWI Index and the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the Global Select Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Independent Trustees further noted that the Global Select Fund performed below the median of its peer group for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods and the period since inception. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including that the Advisor had terminated two sub-advisors to the Fund in April 2025 due to underperformance.

For the International Fund, the Independent Trustees compared its investment results for its Institutional shares to the MSCI EAFE Index (the “International Market Benchmark”) and the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the International Fund outperformed the benchmark for the period since inception but underperformed the International Market Benchmark for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Independent Trustees further considered that the International Fund performed above the median of its peer group for the period since inception but below that median for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including that the Advisor had added a Sub-Advisor to the Fund in April 2025 in an effort to improve performance.

For the High Income Fund, the Independent Trustees compared its investment results for its Institutional shares to the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index and the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the High Income Fund outperformed the benchmark and the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods and the period since inception.

For the Small Company Fund, the Independent Trustees compared its investment results for its Institutional shares to the Russell 2000 Index and the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the Small Company Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the three-year period and the period since inception but underperformed that benchmark for the one-year period. The Independent Trustees further noted that the Small Company Fund performed above the median of its peer group for the three-year period and the period since inception and at the median for the one-year period. The Independent Trustees considered that management had recommended, and the Board had determined to approve, the replacement of one sub-advisor to the Fund.

For the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund, the Independent Trustees compared its investment results for its Institutional shares to the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Credit Index and the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund outperformed the benchmark for the three- and five-year periods and the period since inception but underperformed that benchmark for the one-year period. The Independent Trustees further noted that the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund performed above the median of its peer group for the three- and five-year periods and the period since inception and below that median for the one-year period.

For the iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF, the Independent Trustees compared its investment results to the Russell 1000 Value Index and the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF underperformed its benchmark and the median of its peer group for the one-year period and the period since inception. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance.

For the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF (the “DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF”), the Independent Trustees compared its investment results to the SG CTA Index and the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF outperformed the benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods and the period since inception. The Independent Trustees further noted that the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF performed above the median of its peer group for the five-year period and the period since inception and below that median for the one- and three-year periods. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance.

The Independent Trustees noted that the performance of the Sub-Advisors varies over time and noted and acknowledged the Advisor’s detailed monitoring of the Sub-Advisors’ investment results, and interactions with Sub-Advisors, particularly those Sub-Advisors that were experiencing periods of underperformance. The Independent Trustees noted and considered the comments by the Advisor with respect to underperforming Sub-Advisors, discussions at Board meetings throughout the year regarding the potential sources of underperformance and actions taken by the Advisor in response to underperformance by certain Sub-Advisors. The Independent Trustees considered the Advisor’s process for terminating Sub-Advisors and noted the Advisor’s continued willingness to terminate Sub-Advisors if the Advisor determined that the termination would be in the best interest of a Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees also noted and considered the Advisor’s ability to attract and retain high-quality investment managers to serve as Sub-Advisors to the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s extensive screening process before hiring a Sub-Advisor.

The Trustees noted the difficulty of fairly benchmarking the Funds in terms of performance. Ultimately, the Independent Trustees concluded that the Funds’ overall performance records were satisfactory taking into account the Advisor’s explanation for the periods of underperformance, but the Independent Trustees noted that they will remain attentive to the Advisor’s monitoring of Sub-Advisors and Funds experiencing on-going underperformance. The Independent Trustees further concluded that the Advisor was applying appropriate discipline and oversight to ensure that each Fund adhered to its stated investment objective and strategies, and the performance and services of the Sub-Advisors supported the decision to renew the Advisory Agreements.

3. Advisory fees and total expenses

The Independent Trustees reviewed the net and gross advisory fees and total expenses of each Fund and compared them with the gross advisory fees and total expenses of funds in the FUSE Report for each Fund, noting that a Fund’s gross advisory fee is the actual advisory fee as reported in the Fund’s most recent annual report. The Independent Trustees noted that the FUSE Peer Group for each Fund was selected independently by FUSE using a selection methodology designed to identify those funds most comparable to each Fund. The Independent Trustees further noted that in selecting the FUSE Peer Group for each Fund, FUSE considered various screening criteria, including, without limitation, fund type, category as determined by FUSE, load/sales charge type, average net assets, and fund attributes. The Independent Trustees then discussed various areas in which the Funds are different from the funds included in the FUSE Peer Groups, such as distribution channels and investment strategies or approaches.

The Independent Trustees noted that the components of a Fund’s total expense ratio in the FUSE Report included non-operating costs, including acquired fund fees and interest expense, as applicable.

The Independent Trustees noted that both the total expenses and advisory fee of the Global Select Fund were above the medians of the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s fees and expenses including that with multiple Sub-Advisors, the Fund’s costs reflect the additional expenses of multi-manager asset allocation and administration.

The Independent Trustees noted that both the total expenses and advisory fee of the International Fund were above the medians of the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s fees and expenses including that with multiple Sub-Advisors, the Fund’s costs reflect the additional expenses of multi-manager asset allocation and administration.

The Independent Trustees noted that both the total expenses and the advisory fee of the High Income Fund were above the medians of the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s fees and expenses including that with multiple Sub-Advisors, the Fund’s costs reflect the additional expenses of multi-manager asset allocation and administration. The Independent Trustees also noted that the net advisory fee of the High Income Fund, meaning the Fund’s gross advisory fee minus fee waivers, was below the median of the peer group.

The Independent Trustees noted that the total expenses of the Small Company Fund were above the median of the FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees further noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was below the average of the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses including that with multiple Sub-Advisors, the Fund’s costs reflect the additional expenses of multi-manager asset allocation and administration.

The Independent Trustees noted that both the total expenses and the advisory fee of the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund were slightly above the medians of the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees further noted that the net advisory fee for the Fund was in line with the median of the peer group. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s fees and expenses and noted that the Advisor had reduced the Fund’s advisory fee by 8 basis points in September 2024.

The Independent Trustees noted that both the total expenses and the advisory fee of the iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF were slightly above the average of the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s fees and expenses.

The Independent Trustees noted that both the total expenses and the advisory fee for the DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF were slightly above the average of the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s fees and expenses.

For each Fund with higher than average total expenses, the Independent Trustees reviewed the categories of expenses contributing to the higher expense ratios of those Funds. The Independent Trustees also agreed that the use of a multi-manager structure is a primary contributor to the relatively higher advisory fees for certain Funds, and noted that the higher advisory fees allow shareholders of the Funds to have access to Sub-Advisors to which they otherwise might not have access and that the higher fees are not unreasonable given the long-term performance results of certain Funds and potential performance results for currently underperforming Funds.

The Independent Trustees also noted the Advisor’s continued willingness to waive fees or reimburse operating expenses to maintain a competitive fee structure for each Fund and to pass through savings from fee breakpoints in any Sub-Advisor’s fee schedule to the applicable Fund’s shareholders. The Independent Trustees further took into account the Fee Waiver Agreement with respect to the Global Select Fund, the International Fund, the High Income Fund, and the Small Company Fund, as most recently amended December 15, 2024. The Independent Trustees also took into account the Operating Expenses Limitation Agreements with respect to the Dolan McEniry Corporate Bond Fund, Global Select Fund, High Income Fund, and Small Company Fund, pursuant to which the Advisor has separately agreed to limit those Funds’ operating expenses for the period through April 30, 2027.

The Independent Trustees noted that the sub-advisory fees payable to the Sub-Advisors are separately negotiated with the Advisor and are paid out of the advisory fees the Advisor receives from the Funds. The Independent Trustees also noted that the fees charged by the Sub-Advisors are discounted relative to the fees the Sub-Advisors charge to their own funds and separately managed accounts, and that the Advisor from time to time attempts to renegotiate lower fees with the Sub-Advisors. Given the existence of arm’s-length bargaining between the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor, even with respect to certain Sub-Advisors that have some degree of joint interest or remote affiliation with the Advisor due to a minority interest of an affiliate of the Advisor in those Sub-Advisors, the Independent Trustees did not engage in an extensive discussion of sub-advisory fees and expenses.

The Independent Trustees further noted the Advisor’s efforts to reduce Fund expenses, including the renegotiation of the Trust’s custodial, transfer agency and administrative fees, which resulted in savings to the Funds.

Based on such review, the Independent Trustees concluded that the advisory fees and the total expenses of the Funds are reasonable in relation to the services the Funds receive from the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors.

4. The Advisor’s financial information

The Independent Trustees reviewed information regarding the Advisor’s costs of managing the Funds and information regarding the profitability of the Advisor. The Independent Trustees also considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect economies of scale if the Funds grow in size. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Advisor had voluntarily forgone profits to subsidize the Funds when they were at lower asset levels.

The Advisor’s Costs and Profitability. The Independent Trustees noted that the Advisor appeared to be providing products that are competitively priced with other funds, especially funds with multiple sub-advisors. The Independent Trustees reviewed the total advisory fees, the amounts paid by the Advisor to the various Sub-Advisors, the general cost of the services provided by the Advisor and the Advisor’s retained portion of the total advisory fee. The Independent Trustees took note of information provided on advisory fees waived by the Advisor, noting that the Advisor had waived substantial advisory fees otherwise payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement over the most recent year, and that the Advisor follows a policy of not charging advisory fees on unallocated cash.

The Independent Trustees also noted that the Advisor to date had not sought recoupment of any advisory fees waived under the Fee Waiver Agreement. The Independent Trustees also considered the Advisor’s continued willingness to invest in staff dedicated to the Funds, including new hires when needed. The Independent Trustees received information that assured them that the Advisor and its parent company were financially sound and able to honor the Advisor’s sponsorship commitments to the Funds and that the Advisor’s expected profits under the Advisory Agreement are in the range of reasonableness for the mutual fund management industry. The Independent Trustees did not engage in an analysis of Fund-by-Fund profitability given the integrated nature of the Advisor’s management of the Funds.

The Independent Trustees did not engage in an extended analysis of Sub-Advisor profitability given the arm’s-length nature of the bargaining between the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor, even with respect to those Sub-Advisors that have some degree of joint interest or remote affiliation with the Advisor as discussed above, and the difficulty in interpreting profitability information with respect to each Sub-Advisor due to, among other factors, the use of disparate accounting conventions, disparate ownership structures, and the fact that many Sub-Advisors managed only a portion of each Fund. The Independent Trustees also reviewed information regarding the structure and manner in which the Advisor’s and the Sub-Advisors’ investment professionals are compensated and how the compensation structures are designed to attract and retain high caliber personnel and to promote the long-term performance of the Funds.

Economies of Scale. The Independent Trustees noted that the Advisor has continued to take steps to reduce expenses of the Funds, including agreeing to amendments to the breakpoints in its fee schedules to provide for higher fee waivers, negotiating favorable terms with service providers and providing certain support services to the Funds on a cost-only basis, which represents a sharing of economies of scale. In addition, the Independent Trustees took note of the investments in the Funds made by other accounts managed by affiliates of the Advisor, which help reduce costs for the Funds by increasing the asset base of the Funds. The Independent Trustees also took favorable note of the Advisor’s efforts to invest in its advisory organization to ensure strong research, analytic, compliance and marketing capabilities.

Ancillary Benefits. The Independent Trustees considered other actual and potential financial benefits to the Advisor, noting that the Advisor does not have any direct affiliates that have a relationship with the Funds. The Independent Trustees are, however, aware that the Advisor’s parent company, iM Global, benefits from having certain Sub-Advisors that are affiliates of that parent company, which could be viewed as providing an indirect benefit to the Advisor and creating a conflict of interest for the Advisor. The consensus of the Independent Trustees is that they would remain attentive to those potential indirect benefits and conflicts of interest.

5. Conclusions

Based on their review, including their non-exclusive consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Independent Trustees as well as the Board concluded that the Agreements are fair and reasonable to each Fund and its shareholders, that each Fund’s shareholders received or would receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Advisor, and that the renewal or approval, as applicable, of the Agreements would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. Each of the factors discussed above supported such approval.

Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization

 

Litman Gregory Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware business trust on August 1, 1996, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. Effective August 1, 2011, The Masters’ Select Funds Trust changed its name to the Litman Gregory Funds Trust. The Trust consists of twelve separate series. The Polen Capital China Growth ETF, Polen Capital Emerging Markets ex-China Growth ETF, Polen Capital Global Growth ETF and Polen Capital International Growth ETF (together the “Funds”) are the only series included in this report.

The Polen Capital China Growth ETF seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. The Polen Capital China Growth ETF is a non-diversified, actively-managed ETF that seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a portfolio of equity securities of Chinese companies that in the opinion of Polen Capital Management, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”), have a sustainable competitive advantage. The Polen Capital China Growth ETF may also gain exposure to such issuers by investing in depositary receipts including Global Depositary Receipts, American Depositary Receipts and International Depositary Receipts or through variable interest entities. The Polen Capital China Growth ETF invests across the market capitalization spectrum in small, mid-and large capitalization companies. Shares of the Polen Capital China Growth ETF are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange Arca.

The Polen Capital Emerging Markets ex-China Growth ETF seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. The Polen Capital Emerging Markets ex-China Growth ETF is a non-diversified, actively-managed ETF that seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a portfolio of common stocks of companies in emerging markets that in the opinion of Polen Capital Management, LLC, have a sustainable competitive advantage. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes), at the time of initial purchase, in equity or equity-related securities of issuers that are located in an emerging market country. Equity and equity-related securities include common and preferred stocks and warrants on common stock. Shares of the Polen Capital Emerging Markets ex-China Growth ETF are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange Arca.

The Polen Capital Global Growth ETF seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. The Polen Capital Global Growth ETF is a non-diversified, actively-managed ETF that seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a focused portfolio of approximately 25 to 40 common stocks of large capitalization companies (meaning companies with market capitalizations greater than $10 billion at the time of purchase) that are located anywhere in the world, including companies in both developed and emerging markets, and, in the opinion of Polen Capital Management, LLC, have a sustainable competitive advantage. In addition, the Polen Capital Global Growth ETF may from time to time purchase common stocks, including the common stock of medium capitalization companies (meaning companies with market capitalizations greater than $2 billion but less than $10 billion at the time of purchase), if, in the Sub-Advisor’s opinion, the stock represents a particularly attractive investment opportunity. Shares of the Polen Capital Global Growth ETF are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange Arca.

The Polen Capital International Growth ETF seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. The Polen Capital International Growth ETF is a non-diversified, actively-managed ETF that seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a focused portfolio of approximately 25 to 35 common stocks of large capitalization companies (meaning companies with market capitalizations greater than $10 billion at the time of purchase) including companies in both developed and emerging markets, and, in the opinion of Polen Capital Management, LLC, have a sustainable competitive advantage. In addition, the Polen Capital International Growth ETF may from time to time purchase common stocks, including the common stock of medium capitalization companies (meaning companies with market capitalizations greater than $2 billion but less than $10 billion at the time of purchase), if, in the Sub-Advisor’s opinion, the stock represents a particularly attractive investment opportunity. Shares of the Polen Capital International Growth ETF are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange Arca.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

A

Accounting Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of 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 Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

B

Security Valuation. The Funds record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below. Investments in securities and derivatives traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of regular trading on each day that the exchanges are open for trading. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market and the NASDAQ Capital Market are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities traded on an exchange for which there have been no sales are valued at the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

  mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Debt securities maturing within 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost unless the Valuation Committee determines that amortized cost does not represent fair value. Securities for which market prices are not readily available or if a security’s value has materially changed after the close of the security’s primary market but before the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Sub-Advisors that selected the security for the Funds’ portfolio and iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining fair value, the Funds take into account all relevant factors and available information. Consequently, the price of the security used by a Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and there is no single standard for determining the fair value of a security. As a result, different mutual funds could reasonably arrive at a different value for the same security. For securities that do not trade during NYSE hours, fair value determinations are based on analyses of market movements after the close of those securities’ primary markets, and include reviews of developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. Pricing services are used to obtain closing market prices and to compute certain fair value adjustments utilizing computerized pricing models. It is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security or from the values that other mutual funds may determine.

Investments in other funds are valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those funds in accordance with the 1940 Act.

The Funds are required to comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regulations that govern valuation practices and the role of a fund’s board with respect to the fair value of the investments of a registered investment company. Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, among other things, establishes an updated regulatory framework for registered investment company fair valuation practices. The Funds’ Board has designated the Advisor as each Fund’s valuation designee to perform fair value functions in accordance with valuation policies and procedures adopted by iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC, subject to the Board’s oversight.

Debt securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Funds’ pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Securities denominated in a foreign currency are converted into their U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the date that the values of the foreign debt securities are determined. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Certain derivatives trade in the over-the-counter market. The Funds’ pricing services use various techniques including industry standard option pricing models and proprietary discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of those instruments. The Funds’ net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair value of the contract, is included in net assets.

The Funds have procedures to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available orwhich may not be reliably priced. Under these procedures, the Funds primarily employ a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Funds may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed.

 

C

Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements through which the Fund acquires a security (the “underlying security”) from a seller, a well-established securities dealer or a bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The bank or securities dealer agrees to repurchase the underlying security at the same price, plus a specified amount of interest, at a later date, generally for a period of less than one week. It is the Trust’s policy that its Custodian takes possession of securities as collateral under repurchase agreements and to determine on a daily basis that the value of such securities, including recorded interest, is sufficient to cover the value of the repurchase agreements. The Trust’s policy states that the value of the collateral is at least 102% of the value of the repurchase agreement. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the counterparty of the security, realization of the collateral by a Fund may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2025, the Funds’ ongoing exposure to the economic return on repurchase agreements is shown on the Schedules of Investments in Securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

At June 30, 2025, Polen Capital Global Growth ETF and Polen Capital International Growth ETF had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $6,132,000 and $667,000, respectively, which are reflected as repurchase agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2025.

 

D

Securities Lending. The Funds may make secured loans of their portfolio securities amounting to not more than one-third of their total assets. Securities loans are required to be collateralized by cash or securities in an amount equal to the securities loaned (marked to market daily). Loans are collateralized at a value at least equal to 105% of the then current market value of any loaned security that are foreign, or 102% of the then current market value of any other loaned security. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the following business day. Funds participating in securities lending receive compensation for lending their securities and/or net investment income earned on the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and fees paid to the lending agent. Cash collateral received is invested in State Street Navigator Government Money Market Portfolio. The remaining contractual maturity of this investment is overnight and continuous. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, each Fund has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Funds’ lending agent.

A Fund that lends its portfolio securities bears certain risks, including the risk of delay in the recovery of loaned securities, possible impairment of the Fund’s ability to vote the securities, the inability to invest proceeds from the sales of such securities and the loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. A Fund also bears the risk that the value of investments made with collateral may decline and bears the risk of total loss with respect to the investment of collateral.

At June 30, 2025, securities on loan at value and collateral from securities on loan are listed below:

 

    Fund   Value of securities
on loan
   

Cash

Collateral

    Non-cash Collateral     

Total

Collateral

 
 

Polen Capital International Growth ETF

  $ 687,760     $ 713,757     $      $ 713,757  

The Trust’s securities lending policies and procedures require that the borrower: (i) deliver cash or U.S. Government securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% or 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and (ii) at all times thereafter mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral is at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. From time to time the collateral may not be 102% or 105% due to end of day market movement. The next business day, additional collateral is obtained/received from the borrower to replenish/reestablish 102% or 105%.

 

E

Foreign Currency Translation. The Funds’ records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The currencies are translated into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rates quoted at the close of the London Stock Exchange prior to when each Fund’s net asset value is next determined. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of their net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the impact arising from changes in market prices. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Net realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency transactions gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

 

F

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from securities transactions (if any) are generally distributed annually to shareholders. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition – “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis.

 

G

Income Taxes. The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes are required. The Funds have reviewed the tax positions, taken on federal income tax returns, for each of the three open tax years (as applicable) and as of June 30, 2025, and have determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Foreign securities held by the Funds may be subject to foreign taxation on dividend and interest income received. Foreign taxes, if any, net of any reclaims, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Funds’ invest.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Taxes on foreign interest and dividend income are generally withheld in accordance with the applicable country’s tax treaty with the United States. The foreign withholding rates applicable to a Fund’s investments in certain jurisdictions may be higher if a significant portion of the Fund is held by non-U.S. shareholders. Each Fund may be subject to taxation on realized capital gains, repatriation proceeds and other transaction-based charges imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Taxes related to capital gains realized during the period ended June 30, 2025, if any, are reflected as part of net realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations.

Changes in tax liabilities related to capital gain taxes on unrealized investment gains, if any, are reflected as part of change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount.

The Funds may have previously filed for and/or may file for additional tax refunds with respect to certain taxes withheld by certain countries. Generally, the amount of such refunds that a Fund reasonably determines are collectible and free from significant contingencies are reflected in a Fund’s net asset value and are reflected as foreign tax reclaims receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In certain circumstances, a Fund’s receipt of such refunds may cause the Fund and/or its shareholders to be liable for U.S. federal income taxes and interest charges.

Foreign taxes paid by each Fund may be treated, to the extent permissible by the Code (and other applicable U.S. federal tax guidance) and if that Fund so elects, as if paid by U.S. shareholders of that Fund.

 

H

Security Transactions, Dividend and Interest Income and Expenses. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. Dividend income and, where applicable, related foreign tax withholding expenses are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on fixed-income securities are accreted and amortized to maturity using the effective interest method and reflected within interest income on the Statements of Operations. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, if any, are recorded as components of interest income in the Statements of Operations. Many expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a specific Fund. Each Fund is charged for expenses directly attributed to it. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a specific Fund are allocated among the Funds in the Trust in proportion to their respective net assets or other appropriate method.

 

I

Restricted Securities. A restricted security cannot be resold to the general public without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933. If the security is subsequently registered and resold, the issuers would typically bear the expense of all registrations at no cost to the Fund. Restricted securities are valued according to the guidelines and procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. As of June 30, 2025, there were no restricted securities held in the Funds.

 

J

Illiquid Securities. Each Fund may not invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets in illiquid securities, including restricted securities that are not deemed to be liquid by the Sub-Advisors. The Advisor and the Sub-Advisors will monitor the amount of illiquid securities in a Fund’s portfolio, under the supervision of the Board, to ensure compliance with a Fund’s investment restrictions. In accordance with procedures approved by the Board, these securities may be valued using techniques other than market quotations, and the values established for these securities may be different than what would be produced through the use of another methodology or if they had been priced using market quotations. Illiquid securities and other portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.

 

K

Indemnification Obligations. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its current and former officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred or that would be covered by other parties.

Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

 

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Litman Gregory Fund Advisors, LLC. Effective October 1, 2021, Litman Gregory Fund Advisors, LLC has changed its name to iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC and also subsequently referred to as “iM Global”. Under the terms of the Agreement, each Fund pays a monthly investment advisory fee to the Advisor at the annual rate below of the respective Fund’s average daily net assets:

 

Fund   Contractual

Polen Capital China Growth ETF

    1.00

Polen Capital Emerging Markets ex-China Growth ETF

Polen Capital International Growth ETF

    0.85

 

 
Notes to Financial Statements         21


Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The investment advisory fee covers ordinary operating expenses other than taxes, brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses.

The Advisor engages a sub-advisor to manage the Funds and pays the sub-advisor from its advisory fees.

State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the Administrator, Transfer Agent, Custodian and Fund Accountant to the Funds.

The Funds’ distributor is ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”).

An employee of the Advisor serves as the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The CCO receives no compensation from the Funds for his services, however, the Funds in the Trust reimbursed the Advisor $80,362 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 for the services of the CCO.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, each independent Trustee, within the meaning of the 1940 Act, was compensated by the Trust in the amount of $67,500. The Chairperson of the Board was compensated in the amount of $73,750.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor.

Note 4 – Distribution Plan

 

The Funds issue and redeem Shares at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) only in Creation Units. Only Authorized Participants (“APs”) may acquire Shares directly from the Funds, and only APs may tender their Shares for redemption directly to the Funds, at NAV. APs must be a member or participant of a clearing agency registered with the SEC and must execute a Participant Agreement that has been agreed to by the Distributor, and that has been accepted by the Transfer Agent, with respect to purchases and redemptions of Creation Units. Once created, Shares trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit.

Individual Shares may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange through brokers. Shares will be listed for trading on NYSE Arca and because the Shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount).

Note 5 – Investment Transactions

 

The cost of securities purchased and the proceeds from securities sold for the six months ended June 30, 2025, excluding short-term investments and in-kind transactions were as follows:

Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Investments

 

The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Funds’ own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 –

Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2 –

Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and fair value estimates for foreign securities indices).

 

Level 3 –

Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

Repurchase agreements are short-term investments, and are fair valued approximately at their principal amounts. Repurchase agreements are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 8 – Principal Risks

 

Below are summaries of the principal risks of investing in one or more of the Funds, each of which could adversely affect a Fund’s net asset value, yield and total return. Each risk listed below does not necessarily apply to each Fund, and you should read a Fund’s prospectus carefully for a description of the principal risks associated with investing in a particular Fund.

 

 

China Risk. This is the risk that the value of the Polen Capital China Growth ETF’s investments in China may decline due to nationalization, expropriation, and confiscation of assets and property. Losses may also occur due to new or expanded restrictions on foreign investments or repatriation of capital. Participants in the Chinese market are subject to less regulation and oversight than participants in the U.S. market. This may lead to trading volatility, difficulty in the settlement and recording of transactions, and uncertainty in interpreting and applying laws and regulations. Reduction in spending on Chinese products and services, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in the economies of any of China’s key trading partners may adversely affect the securities of Chinese issuers. Regional conflict could also have an adverse effect on the Chinese economy.

 

 

Communications Sector Risk. Companies in the communications sector may be affected by competitive pressures (including innovation by competitors and pricing competition), substantial capital requirements, government regulation, revenues and earnings, obsolescence of communications products and services due to technological advancement, a potential decrease in the discretionary income of targeted individuals and fluctuating demand due to changing consumer tastes and interests.

 

 

Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The success of consumer product manufacturers and retailers is tied closely to the performance of domestic and international economies, interest rates, exchange rates, supply chains, competition, consumer confidence, changes in demographics and consumer preferences. Companies in the consumer discretionary sector depend heavily on disposable household

 

 
Notes to Financial Statements         25

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

  income and consumer spending, and may be strongly affected by social trends and marketing campaigns. These companies may be subject to severe competition, which may have an adverse impact on their profitability.

 

 

Country/Regional Risk. World events – such as political upheaval, financial troubles, or natural disasters – may adversely affect the value of securities issued by companies in foreign countries or regions. Because each Fund may invest a large portion of its assets in securities of companies located in any one country or region, including emerging markets, the Fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that area. This risk is heightened in emerging markets.

 

 

Currency Risk. This is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund’s investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies.

 

 

Cybersecurity Risk. Information and technology systems relied upon by the Funds, the Advisor, the sub-advisors, the Funds’ service providers (including, but not limited to, Fund accountants, custodians, transfer agents, administrators, distributors and other financial intermediaries) and/or the issuers of securities in which a Fund invests may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons, security breaches, usage errors, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. Although the Advisor has implemented measures to manage risks relating to these types of events, if these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, significant investment may be required to fix or replace them. The failure of these systems and/or of disaster recovery plans could cause significant interruptions in the operations of the Funds, the Advisor, the sub-advisors, the Funds’ service providers and/or issuers of securities in which a Fund invests and may result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information relating to investors (and the beneficial owners of investors). Such a failure could also harm the reputation of the Funds, the Advisor, the sub-advisors, the Funds’ service providers and/or issuers of securities in which a Fund invests, subject such entities and their respective affiliates to legal claims or otherwise affect their business and financial performance.

 

 

Emerging Markets Risk. A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries are those with immature economic and political structures, and investing in emerging markets entails greater risk than in developed markets. Such risks could include those related to government dependence on a few industries or resources, government-imposed taxes on foreign investment or limits on the removal of capital from a country, unstable government, and volatile markets.

 

 

Equity Securities Risk. This is the risk that the value of equity securities may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to factors affecting the general market, an entire industry or sector, or particular companies. These factors include, without limitation, adverse changes in economic conditions, the general outlook for corporate earnings, interest rates or investor sentiment; increases in production costs; and significant management decisions. This risk is greater for small- and medium-sized companies, which tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments than larger companies.

 

 

ESG Investing Risk. Because a Fund may take into consideration the environmental, social and governance characteristics of portfolio companies in which it may invest, the Fund may select or exclude securities of certain issuers for reasons other than potential performance. The Fund’s consideration of ESG characteristics in making its investment decisions may reduce or increase the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors, regions or countries or cause the Fund to forego certain investment opportunities which may lower the performance of the Fund as compared to funds that do not utilize these considerations. Consideration of ESG characteristics is qualitative and subjective by nature, and there is no guarantee that the criteria used by the Sub-Advisor or any judgment exercised by the Sub-Advisor will reflect the opinions of any particular investor. Although an investment by the Fund in a company may satisfy one or more ESG and sustainability factors in the view of the portfolio managers, there is no guarantee that such company actually promotes positive environmental, social or economic developments, and that same company may also fail to satisfy other ESG factors. In addition, the Sub-Advisor may utilize third party data to evaluate ESG factors which may be incomplete or inaccurate and cause the Sub-Advisor to incorrectly assess the ESG characteristics a security or issuer. Funds with ESG investment strategies are generally suited for long-term rather than short-term investors.

 

 

ETF Risk. As a result of the Funds’ ETF’s structure, each is exposed to the following risks:

 

   

Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, shares of the Fund (“Shares”) may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.

 

   

Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute

 

 
26       Litman Gregory Funds Trust


Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

  redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used.

 

   

Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

 

   

Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any losses caused by a decrease in NAV.

 

   

Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares.

 

 

Europe Investing Risk. The Polen Capital Global Growth ETF may invest a significant portion of its assets in issuers based in Western Europe and the United Kingdom (“UK”). The economies of countries in Europe are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one country in Europe can have an adverse impact on other European countries. Efforts by the member countries of the European Union (“EU”) to continue to unify their economic and monetary policies may increase the potential for similarities in the movements of European markets and reduce the potential investment benefits of diversification within the region. However, the substance of these policies may not address the needs of all European economies. European financial markets have in recent years experienced increased volatility due to concerns with some countries’ high levels of sovereign debt, budget deficits and unemployment. Markets have also been affected by the decision by the UK to withdraw from the EU (an event commonly known as “Brexit”). There continues to be uncertainty surrounding the ultimate impact of Brexit on the UK, the EU and the broader global economy. An exit by any member countries from the EU or the Economic and Monetary Union of the EU, or even the prospect of such an exit, could lead to increased volatility in European markets and negatively affect investments both in issuers in the exiting country and throughout Europe.

 

 

Financial Sector Risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a significant portion of its assets in the financial sector. The financial sector can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, government regulation, the rate of defaults on corporate, consumer and government debt, the availability and cost of capital, and the impact of more stringent capital requirements.

 

 

Foreign Investment and Emerging Markets Risks. This is the risk that an investment in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may cause the Funds to experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to factors such as currency conversion rate fluctuations, currency blockages, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, accounting and auditing standards, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, and smaller and less-strict regulation of securities markets. These risks are greater in emerging markets.

 

 

General Market Risk; Recent Market Events. The value of a Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Fund’s investments and other factors affecting the securities markets generally. Certain investments selected for a Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time. The value of a Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes dramatically and unpredictably, based on current market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse political or economic conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in certain markets or adverse investor sentiment.

 

 

Geopolitical Events Risk. The interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in a Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasigovernmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets.

 

 

Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks, as a group, may be out of favor with the market and underperform value stocks or the overall equity market. Growth stocks are generally more sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks primarily because their prices are based heavily on the future expectations of the economy and the stock’s issuing company.

 

 
Notes to Financial Statements         27


Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

Investing Through Stock Connects Risk. This is the risk that the Polen Capital China Growth ETF’s investments in China A Shares and/or China B Shares through the Stock Connects may be subject to trading, clearance, settlement, and other procedures, which could pose risks to the Polen Capital China Growth ETF and which may restrict the Polen Capital China Growth ETF’s ability to invest in or sell China A and/or China B Shares in a timely manner. Specifically, trading can be affected by market or bank closures, quota limits, and certain pre-delivery and pre-validation requirements, such that the Polen Capital China Growth ETF may not be able to purchase or dispose of its shares in a timely manner. In addition, the Polen Capital China Growth ETF’s purchase of China A and/or China B Shares through the Stock Connects may only be subsequently sold through the Stock Connects and is not otherwise transferable. The Polen Capital China Growth ETF’s shares will be registered in its custodian’s name on the Hong Kong Central Clearing and Settlement System, which may limit the Polen Capital Management, LLC’s ability to effectively manage the Polen Capital China Growth ETF’s holdings, including the potential enforcement of equity owner rights.

 

 

Investment Selection Risk. The specific investments held in the Fund’s investment portfolio may underperform other funds in the same asset class or benchmarks that are representative of the general performance of the asset class because of a portfolio manager’s choice of securities.

 

 

Japan Investing Risk. The Japanese economy has only recently emerged from a prolonged economic downturn. Since the year 2000, Japan’s economic growth rate has remained relatively low. The Japanese economy is characterized by an aging demographic, declining population, large government debt and highly regulated labor market. Economic growth in Japan is dependent on domestic consumption, deregulation and consistent government policy. International trade, particularly with the U.S., also impacts growth of the Japanese economy and adverse economic conditions in the U.S. or other trade partners may affect Japan. Japan also has a growing economic relationship with China and other Southeast Asian countries, and thus Japan’s economy may also be affected by economic, political or social instability in those countries (whether resulting from local or global events). Other factors, such as the occurrence of natural disasters and relations with neighboring countries (including China, South Korea, North Korea and Russia), may also negatively impact the Japanese economy.

 

 

Large Shareholder Purchase and Redemption Risk. This is the risk that a Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell its securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s net asset value and liquidity. Similarly, large share purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. In addition, a large redemption could result in the Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio.

 

 

Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. A Fund may invest in the securities of large-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be adversely affected if securities of these companies underperform securities of smaller capitalization companies or the market as a whole. Large-capitalization companies may adapt more slowly to new competitive challenges and be subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

 

 

Latin America Investing Risk. The economies of Latin American countries have in the past experienced considerable difficulties, including high inflation rates, high interest rates, high unemployment, government overspending and political instability. Similar conditions in the present or future could impact the Fund’s performance. Many Latin American countries are highly reliant on the exportation of commodities and their economies may be significantly impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices and the global demand for certain commodities. Investments in Latin American countries may be subject to currency risks, such as restrictions on the flow of money in and out of a country, extreme volatility relative to the U.S. dollar, and devaluation, all of which could decrease the value of the Fund’s investments. Other Latin American investment risks may include inadequate investor protection, less developed regulatory, accounting, auditing and financial standards, unfavorable changes in laws or regulations, natural disasters, corruption and military activity. The governments of many Latin American countries may also exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector, and any such exercise could have a significant effect on companies in which the Fund invests. Securities of companies in Latin American countries may be subject to significant price volatility, which could impact Fund performance.

 

 

Management Risk. The Funds are actively-managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the portfolio managers’ success or failure to implement investment strategies for a Fund.

 

 

Market Risk. The value of a Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Fund’s investments and other factors affecting the securities markets generally. Certain investments selected for a Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time. The value of a Fund’s investment may go up or down, sometimes dramatically and unpredictably, based on current market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse political or economic conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the fixed income markets or adverse investor sentiment.

 

 

Mid-Sized Companies Risk. Securities of companies with mid-sized market capitalizations are generally more volatile and less liquid than the securities of large-capitalization companies. Mid-sized companies may be more reliant on a few products, services or key personnel, which can make it riskier than investing in larger companies with more diverse product lines and structured management. Mid-sized

 

 
28       Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

  companies may have relatively short operating histories or may be newer public companies. Some of these companies have more aggressive capital structures, including higher debt levels, than large-cap companies, or are involved in rapidly growing or changing industries and/or new technologies, which pose additional risks.

 

 

New Fund Risk. A Fund that is newly formed and has limited operating history for investors to evaluate. Its performance may not represent how the Fund is expected to or may perform in the long term. In addition, new funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies.

 

 

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Because a Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio.

 

 

Operational Risk. Operational risks include human error, changes in personnel, system changes, faults in communication, and failures in systems, technology, or processes. Various operational events or circumstances are outside an Advisor’s or Sub-Advisor’s control, including instances at third parties. A Fund, its Advisor and Sub-Advisor seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address these risks.

 

 

Public Health Emergency Risk. This is the risk that pandemics and other public health emergencies, including outbreaks of infectious diseases such as the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), can result, and in the case of COVID-19 is resulting, in market volatility and disruption, and materially and adversely impact economic conditions in ways that cannot be predicted, all of which could result in substantial investment losses. Containment efforts and related restrictive actions by governments and businesses have significantly diminished and disrupted global economic activity across many industries. Less developed countries and their health systems may be more vulnerable to these impacts. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 or other health emergencies on global economic conditions and businesses is impossible to predict accurately. Ongoing and potential additional material adverse economic effects of indeterminate duration and severity are possible. The resulting adverse impact on the value of an investment in a Fund could be significant and prolonged.

 

 

Regulatory Risk. Governments, agencies or other regulatory bodies may adopt or change laws or regulations that could adversely affect the issuer, or market value, of an instrument held by a Fund or that could adversely impact the Fund’s performance.

 

 

Sector Concentration Risk. A Fund may concentrate its investments in a narrow segment of the total market. At June 30, 2025, the Polen Capital Global Growth Fund has 25.1% of its net assets invested in the Software industry of the stock market. Because of this, the Fund is subject to certain additional risks as compared to investing in a more diversified portfolio of investments.

 

 

Sector Weightings Risk. To the extent that a Fund emphasizes, from time to time, investments in a particular sector, the Fund will be subject to a greater degree to the risks particular to that sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single sector. By focusing its investments in a particular sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous sectors.

 

 

Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. As a result, the value of the Fund’s shares may fall. The value of a Fund’s shares could also fall if a loan is called and the Fund is required to liquidate reinvested collateral at a loss or if the Fund is unable to reinvest cash collateral at rates which exceed the costs involved.

 

 

Settlement Risk. Settlement and clearance procedures in certain foreign markets differ significantly from those in the United States. Foreign settlement procedures and trade regulations also may involve certain risks (such as delays in payment for or delivery of securities) not typically generated by the settlement of U.S. investments. If a Fund cannot settle or is delayed in settling a sale of securities, it may lose money if the value of the security then declines or, if it has contracted to sell the security to another party, the Fund could be liable to that party for any losses incurred. Dividends or interest on, or proceeds from the sale of, foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes on income from sources in such countries.

 

 

Smaller Companies Risk. A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in the securities of small- and mid-sized companies. Securities of small and mid-cap companies are generally more volatile and less liquid than the securities of large-cap companies. This is because smaller companies may be more reliant on a few products, services or key personnel, which can make it riskier than investing in larger companies with more diverse product lines and structured management.

 

 

Technology Investment Risk. A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in the technology sector, which is a very volatile segment of the market. The nature of technology is that it is rapidly changing. Therefore, products or services that may initially look promising may subsequently fail or become obsolete. In addition, many technology companies are younger, smaller and unseasoned companies which may not have established products, an experienced management team, or earnings history.

 

 

U.S. Trade Policy Risk. In the U.S., the Trump administration recently enacted and proposed to enact significant new tariffs on imports from certain countries. Additionally, President Trump has directed various federal agencies to further evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy and there has been ongoing discussion and commentary regarding potential significant changes to U.S. trade policies, treaties and

 

 
Notes to Financial Statements         29


Litman Gregory Funds Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

  tariffs. There continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict a portfolio company’s access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operations, which in turn could negatively impact a Fund.

 

 

Variable Interest Entity Risk. The Polen Capital China Growth ETF may invest a substantial portion of its assets in certain operating companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (“VIEs”). In China, ownership of companies in certain sectors by foreign individuals and entities (including U.S. persons and entities such as the Polen Capital China Growth ETF) is prohibited. In order to facilitate foreign investment in these businesses, many Chinese companies have created VIEs. In such an arrangement, a China-based operating company typically establishes an offshore shell company in another jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands. That shell company enters into service and other contracts with the China-based operating company, then issues shares on a foreign exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Foreign investors hold stock in the shell company rather than directly in the China-based operating company. This arrangement allows U.S. investors to obtain economic exposure to the China-based company through contractual means rather than through formal equity ownership.

Note 9 – New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In this reporting period, the Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds’ financial position or the results of their operations. An operating segment is a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in making resource allocation decisions and assessing segment performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Funds’ Advisor acts as the Funds’ CODM. The CODM has determined that the Funds have a single operating segment because the CODM monitors the operating results of the Funds as a whole and evaluates performance in accordance with the Funds’ principal investment strategies disclosed in their prospectus. The CODM uses these measures to assess Funds performance and allocate resources effectively. The Funds’ total returns, expense ratios, and changes in net assets which among others are used by the CODM to assess Funds performance and to make resource allocation decisions for the Funds’ single segment are consistent with that presented within the Funds’ financial statements.

Note 10 - Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no significant events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

At an in-person meeting held on June 4, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Litman Gregory Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved for an additional one-year term through June 30, 2026 (i) the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “ETF Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to the Polen Capital Global Growth ETF (the “Global Growth ETF”), the Polen Capital China Growth ETF (the “China Growth ETF”), the Polen Capital Emerging Markets Growth ex-China ETF (the “Emerging Markets Growth ex-China ETF”) and the Polen Capital International Growth ETF (the “International Growth ETF”) (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), and (ii) the investment sub-advisory agreements (the “Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements,” and collectively with the ETF Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”) between the Advisor and (a) Polen Capital with respect to the Global Growth ETF; (b) Polen Capital with respect to the China Growth ETF; (c) Polen Capital with respect to the Emerging Markets Growth ETF; and (d) Polen Capital with respect to the International Growth ETF. Because Polen Capital is the Sub-Advisor to each Fund, it is referred to in each instance as the Sub-Advisor.

Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees had requested detailed information from the Advisor regarding the Funds. The materials provided by the Advisor were extensive, including advisory fee and expense comparisons, performance comparisons, Advisor profitability information, and a summary of compliance programs of the Sub-Advisor. In addition, the Independent Trustees discussed the renewal of the Agreements with representatives of the Advisor and were advised by independent counsel on these and other relevant matters.

The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also noted that they had received extensive information about, and presentations from, various members of senior management at the Advisor regarding the Funds throughout the year, including, without limitation, information on and/or discussion of the Funds’ and the Sub-Advisor’s investment results; portfolio composition; portfolio trading practices; shareholder services; advisory fees and expense comparisons; the Advisor’s financial condition and profitability; compliance monitoring by the Advisor; the personnel at the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor providing investment management, compliance and other services to the Funds; and the Advisor’s process for selecting the Sub-Advisor for the Funds as well as the Advisor’s ongoing oversight of the Sub-Advisor.

The information provided to the Board at the Meeting, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations. The Board did not identify any single issue or particular datum point that, in isolation, would be a controlling factor in its decision to approve or renew the Agreements. Rather, the Board considered the total mix of information provided. The following summary describes the key factors considered by the Independent Trustees (as well as the Board).

1. Nature, extent and quality of services

The Independent Trustees considered the depth and quality of the Advisor’s investment management process, including its sophisticated monitoring and oversight of the Sub-Advisor; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; the low turnover rates of its key personnel involved in the day-to-day operations of the Funds; and the overall financial strength and stability of its organization. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Advisor provided personnel to serve as officers of the Trust, including the Trust’s CCO, and that the services of the CCO were provided at a reasonable allocated cost to the Trust. The Independent Trustees discussed the high level of sub-advisor due diligence continually being undertaken by the Advisor. The Independent Trustees also noted the high quality of the non-advisory management services provided by the Advisor, such as responsiveness to shareholder inquiries and requests of the Board, as well as the preparation of high quality shareholder communications and the development of targeted marketing programs for the Funds. In addition, the Independent Trustees noted that, because the Litman Gregory Wealth Management, an affiliate of the Advisor, is a significant shareholder in certain Funds, the Advisor has an additional incentive to ensure that the Funds perform well for the shareholders. The Independent Trustees also noted that the members of senior management of the Advisor as well as many of the Independent Trustees themselves have made significant investments in certain of the Funds.

The Independent Trustees, based on guidance and information provided by the Trust’s CCO, also considered the Advisor’s policies, procedures and systems to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and its adherence to and continual enhancement of those programs; its efforts to keep the Board informed; and its attention dedicated to matters that may involve potential conflicts of interest with a Fund. The Independent Trustees considered the extent and effectiveness of the Advisor’s compliance operations and the Advisor’s oversight of the Sub-Advisor’s and other service providers’ compliance operations.

The Independent Trustees then reviewed various materials relating to the Sub-Advisor, including copies of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements; copies of the Form ADV for the Sub-Advisor; information on assets of the Funds managed and fees charged by the Sub-Advisor, as well as the fee levels of other funds managed by the Sub-Advisor; a summary of the compliance programs of the Sub-Advisor; and an oral report by the CCO on the Sub-Advisor’s commitment to compliance. The Independent Trustees also considered the Advisor’s lengthy and extensive due diligence process for selecting and monitoring the Sub-Advisor and the value of goodwill between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor.

The Independent Trustees concluded that the nature, overall quality, and extent of the services provided and to be provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor are fully satisfactory.

2. Investment results

The Independent Trustees reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of each Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to peer funds and benchmark indices over various periods ended March 31, 2025. They also considered information regarding the selection, and discussed the appropriateness, of such peer funds and benchmark indices. The Independent Trustees considered the overall performance of the Funds as well as the performance of the Sub-Advisor within each Fund as compared to the Sub-Advisor’s own comparable mutual fund(s) or private fund(s) (if applicable). The Independent Trustees focused on longer-term performance, which they believe is more important than short, isolated periods for purposes of evaluating each Fund’s success in meeting its investment objective.

In particular, the Independent Trustees relied upon, among other information, the FUSE Report. The Independent Trustees noted that FUSE, and not the Advisor, selected the peer funds used in the FUSE Report and that the Advisor had supplemented the FUSE Report with additional performance comparisons.

For the Global Growth ETF, the Independent Trustees compared its investment results to the MSCI ACWI Index and the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the Global Growth ETF underperformed the benchmark for the one-year period and the period since inception but performed above the median of its peer group for the same periods. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance.

For the International Growth ETF, the Independent Trustees compared its investment results to the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Growth Index and the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the International ETF underperformed the benchmark and the median of its peer group for the one-year period and the period since inception. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance.

For the China Growth ETF, the Independent Trustees compared its investment results to the MSCI All Shares Index and the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the China Growth ETF underperformed the benchmark but performed above the median of its peer group for the one-year period and the period since inception. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance.

The Independent Trustees noted that no performance information was provided for the Emerging Markets ex-China Growth ETF because the Fund had less than one year of performance history.

The Independent Trustees noted that the performance of the Sub-Advisor varies over time and noted and acknowledged the Advisor’s detailed monitoring of the Sub-Advisor’s investment results, and interactions with the Sub-Advisor, particularly if the Sub-Advisor was experiencing periods of underperformance. The Independent Trustees noted and considered the comments by the Advisor with respect to if the Sub-Advisor was underperforming, discussions at Board meetings throughout the year regarding the potential sources of underperformance and actions taken by the Advisor in response to underperformance by the Sub-Advisor. The Independent Trustees considered the Advisor’s process for terminating the Sub-Advisor and noted the Advisor’s continued willingness to terminate the Sub-Advisor if the Advisor determined that the termination would be in the best interest of a Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees also noted and considered the Advisor’s ability to attract and retain high-quality investment managers to serve as the Sub-Advisor to the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s extensive screening process before hiring the Sub-Advisor.

The Trustees noted the difficulty of fairly benchmarking the Funds in terms of performance. Ultimately, the Independent Trustees concluded that the Funds’ overall performance records were satisfactory taking into account the Advisor’s explanation for the periods of underperformance, but the Independent Trustees noted that they will remain attentive to the Advisor’s monitoring of the Sub-Advisor and Funds experiencing on-going underperformance. The Independent Trustees further concluded that the Advisor was applying appropriate discipline and oversight to ensure that each Fund adhered to its stated investment objective and strategies, and the performance and services of the Sub-Advisor supported the decision to renew the Advisory Agreements.

3. Advisory fees and total expenses

The Independent Trustees reviewed the net and gross advisory fees and total expenses of each Fund and compared them with the gross advisory fees and total expenses of funds in the FUSE Report for each Fund, noting that a Fund’s gross advisory fee is the actual advisory fee as reported in the Fund’s most recent annual report. The Independent Trustees noted that the FUSE Peer Group for each Fund was selected independently by FUSE using a selection methodology designed to identify those funds most comparable to each Fund. The Independent Trustees further noted that in selecting the FUSE Peer Group for each Fund, FUSE considered various screening criteria, including, without limitation, fund type, category as determined by FUSE, load/sales charge type, average net assets, and fund attributes. The Independent Trustees then discussed various areas in which the Funds are different from the funds included in the FUSE Peer Groups, such as distribution channels and investment strategies or approaches.

The Independent Trustees noted that the components of a Fund’s total expense ratio in the FUSE Report included non-operating costs, including acquired fund fees and interest expense, as applicable.

The Independent Trustees noted that both the total expenses and the advisory fee of the Global Growth ETF were above the average of the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s fees and expenses.

The Independent Trustees noted that both the total expenses and the advisory fee of the International Growth ETF were above the average of the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s fees and expenses.

The Independent Trustees noted that both the total expenses and the advisory fee of the China Growth ETF were above the average of the Fund’s FUSE Peer Group. The Independent Trustees took account of management’s discussion of the Fund’s fees and expenses.

The Independent Trustees noted that no comparative information on total expenses and advisory fees was provided for the Emerging Markets ex-China Growth ETF because the Fund had less than one year of performance history.

For each Fund with higher than average total expenses, the Independent Trustees reviewed the categories of expenses contributing to the higher expense ratios of those Funds. The Independent Trustees also agreed that the use of a multi-manager structure is a primary contributor to the relatively higher advisory fees for certain Funds, and noted that the higher advisory fees allow shareholders of the Funds to have access to the Sub-Advisor to which they otherwise might not have access and that the higher fees are not unreasonable given the long-term performance results of certain Funds and potential performance results for currently underperforming Funds.

The Independent Trustees also noted the Advisor’s continued willingness to waive fees or reimburse operating expenses to maintain a competitive fee structure for each Fund and to pass through savings from fee breakpoints in the Sub-Advisor’s fee schedule to the applicable Fund’s shareholders.

The Independent Trustees noted that the sub-advisory fees payable to the Sub-Advisor are separately negotiated with the Advisor and are paid out of the advisory fees the Advisor receives from the Funds. The Independent Trustees also noted that the fees charged by the Sub-Advisor are discounted relative to the fees the Sub-Advisor charges to its own funds and separately managed accounts, and that the Advisor from time to time attempts to renegotiate lower fees with the Sub-Advisor. Given the existence of arm’s-length bargaining between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, even with respect to if the Sub-Advisor has some degree of joint interest or remote affiliation with the Advisor due to a minority interest of an affiliate of the Advisor in the Sub-Advisor, the Independent Trustees did not engage in an extensive discussion of sub-advisory fees and expenses.

The Independent Trustees further noted the Advisor’s efforts to reduce Fund expenses, including the renegotiation of the Trust’s custodial, transfer agency and administrative fees, which resulted in savings to the Funds.

Based on such review, the Independent Trustees concluded that the advisory fees and the total expenses of the Funds are reasonable in relation to the services the Funds receive from the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor.

4. The Advisor’s financial information

The Independent Trustees reviewed information regarding the Advisor’s costs of managing the Funds and information regarding the profitability of the Advisor. The Independent Trustees also considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect economies of scale if the Funds grow in size. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Advisor had voluntarily forgone profits to subsidize the Funds when they were at lower asset levels.

The Advisor’s Costs and Profitability. The Independent Trustees noted that the Advisor appeared to be providing products that are competitively priced with other funds, especially funds with multiple sub-advisors. The Independent Trustees reviewed the total advisory fees, the amounts paid by the Advisor to the Sub-Advisor, the general cost of the services provided by the Advisor and the Advisor’s retained portion of the total advisory fee. The Independent Trustees took note of information provided on advisory fees waived by the Advisor, noting that the Advisor had waived substantial advisory fees otherwise payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement over the most recent year, and that the Advisor follows a policy of not charging advisory fees on unallocated cash.

The Independent Trustees also considered the Advisor’s continued willingness to invest in staff dedicated to the Funds, including new hires when needed. The Independent Trustees received information that assured them that the Advisor and its parent company were financially sound and able to honor the Advisor’s sponsorship commitments to the Funds and that the Advisor’s expected profits under the Advisory Agreement are in the range of reasonableness for the mutual fund management industry. The Independent Trustees did not engage in an analysis of Fund-by-Fund profitability given the integrated nature of the Advisor’s management of the Funds.

The Independent Trustees did not engage in an extended analysis of Sub-Advisor profitability given the arm’s-length nature of the bargaining between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, even with respect to if the Sub-Advisor has some degree of joint interest or remote affiliation with the Advisor as discussed above, and the difficulty in interpreting profitability information with respect to the Sub-Advisor due to, among other factors, the use of disparate accounting conventions, and disparate ownership structures. The Independent Trustees

also reviewed information regarding the structure and manner in which the Advisor’s and the Sub-Advisor’s investment professionals are compensated and how the compensation structures are designed to attract and retain high caliber personnel and to promote the long-term performance of the Funds.

Economies of Scale. The Independent Trustees noted that the Advisor has continued to take steps to reduce expenses of the Funds, including agreeing to amendments to the breakpoints in its fee schedules to provide for higher fee waivers, negotiating favorable terms with service providers and providing certain support services to the Funds on a cost-only basis, which represents a sharing of economies of scale. In addition, the Independent Trustees took note of the investments in the Funds made by other accounts managed by affiliates of the Advisor, which help reduce costs for the Funds by increasing the asset base of the Funds. The Independent Trustees also took favorable note of the Advisor’s efforts to invest in its advisory organization to ensure strong research, analytic, compliance and marketing capabilities.

Ancillary Benefits. The Independent Trustees considered other actual and potential financial benefits to the Advisor, noting that the Advisor does not have any direct affiliates that have a relationship with the Funds. The Independent Trustees are, however, aware that the Advisor’s parent company, iM Global, benefits from the Sub-Advisor being an affiliate of that parent company, which could be viewed as providing an indirect benefit to the Advisor and creating a conflict of interest for the Advisor. The consensus of the Independent Trustees is that they would remain attentive to those potential indirect benefits and conflicts of interest.

5. Conclusions

Based on their review, including their non-exclusive consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Independent Trustees as well as the Board concluded that the Agreements are fair and reasonable to each Fund and its shareholders, that each Fund’s shareholders received or would receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Advisor, and that the renewal or approval, as applicable, of the Agreements would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. Each of the factors discussed above supported such approval.
