2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds follow accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
Segment reporting – The Funds have adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (“Topic 280”) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of ASU 2023-07 impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect a Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. The intent of ASU 2023-07 is, through segment disclosures, to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance. The Adviser and Salient Advisors (where applicable) act as the Funds’ chief operating decision makers (“CODM”). The CODMs have determined that each Fund has a single operating segment as the CODMs monitor the operating results of each Fund as a whole and each Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Adviser and Salient Advisors, where applicable. The CODMs allocate resources and assess performance based on the operating results of each Fund, which is consistent with the results presented in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.
New Accounting Pronouncement – In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (“Topic 740”) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Fund Management is evaluating the impacts of these changes on the Funds’ financial statements.
Securities valuation – Each Fund values its portfolio securities at market value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open for business. The Funds value their listed securities on the basis of the security’s last sale price on the security’s primary exchange, if available, otherwise at the exchange’s most recently quoted mean price. NASDAQ-listed securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Investments representing shares of other open-end investment companies, other than exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), if any, but including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by such companies. Option contracts are valued at the closing price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded; if no closing price is available at the time of valuation, the option will be valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices for that day. Future contracts are valued at
83
| WESTWOOD FUNDS |
the final settlement price, or, if a settled price is not available, at the last sale price as of the close of regular trading on the primary exchange on which they are traded. When using a quoted price and when the market is considered active, these securities will be classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy (see below). Fixed income securities are generally valued using prices provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The independent pricing service uses information with respect to transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities, and various relationships between securities in determining these prices. Total return swaps are valued as the change in the value of the underlying security plus/minus the accrued income payment based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or some other form of indices on the notional amount. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, the Funds value their securities and other assets at fair value as determined by the Adviser and Salient Advisors, as the Funds’ valuation designees, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Under these procedures, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used. Unavailable or unreliable market quotes may be due to the following factors: a substantial bid-ask spread; infrequent sales resulting in stale prices; insufficient trading volume; small trade sizes; a temporary lapse in any reliable pricing source; and actions of the securities or futures markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading. As a result, the prices of securities used to calculate each Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Securities traded on foreign exchanges, if any, are fair valued by an independent pricing service and translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service.
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| ● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs |
Fixed income securities held by the Funds are classified as Level 2 since values are based on prices provided by an independent pricing service that utilizes various “other significant observable inputs” including bid and ask quotations, prices of similar securities, and interest rates, among other factors.
For most securities, both the latest transaction prices and adjustments are furnished by independent pricing services. The Adviser and Salient Advisors as the Funds’ valuation designee is responsible for carrying out pricing and valuation duties in accordance with the Adviser’s Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value determined in good faith.
The inputs or methods used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

| WESTWOOD FUNDS |
Share valuation – The NAV per share of each class of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares outstanding of that class. The offering price and redemption price per share of each class of each Fund is equal to the NAV per share of such class except for A Class Shares. A Class Shares have a front-end sales charge, which is deducted from your purchase price when you buy your shares.
Investment income – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the security received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been recorded in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that pay distributions to their shareholders based on available funds from operations. It is common for these distributions to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such distribution to be designated as return of capital. Distributions received from REITs are generally recorded as dividend income and, if necessary, are reclassified annually in accordance with tax information provided by the underlying REITs. Distributions received for each Fund’s investments in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) may be comprised of both income and return of capital. Each Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities, if any, are amortized using the effective interest method.
Investment transactions – Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on a specific identification basis.
Allocation among Classes – Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are allocated daily to each Class of a Fund based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of that Fund. Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the Class incurring the expense. Common expenses which are not attributable to a specific Class are allocated daily to each Class of shares of a Fund based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of that Fund. Distribution fees are class specific expenses.
Common expenses – Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds and the other series of the Trust based on the relative net assets of each series, the number of series in the Trust, or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each series.
Futures contracts – A Fund may use futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance a Fund’s returns. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. When a Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, no price is paid to or received by a Fund. Instead, a Fund is required to deposit in a segregated asset account an amount of cash or qualifying securities. This is called the “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 asset. A Fund recognizes an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily valuation margin. If market conditions move unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The margin deposits for futures contracts and the variation receivable/payable are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Options written/purchased – The Funds may utilize longer maturity options for stock replacement when and as price and volatility relationships become more favorable for options versus underlying stocks or for tax and liquidity management purposes. The Funds are authorized to write (sell) and purchase put and call options. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity to profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes.

| WESTWOOD FUNDS |
Swap contracts – The Funds are authorized to enter into swap contracts for the purposes of managing the Funds’ interest rate duration, yield curve exposure and yield spread sensitivity. Swaps are a two-party contract in which the seller (buyer) will pay to the buyer (seller) the difference between the current value of a security and its value at the time the contract was entered. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitment to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments) with respect to a notional amount of principal. Swap contracts are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC Swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“Centrally Cleared Swaps”).
Total return swaps allow an investor to benefit from the cash flow without ever actually owning the underlying security. The receiver must pay any decline in value to the payer at the end of the total return swaps. However, the investor does not need to make a payment if there is no decline in price. Payments can be made on various indices, bonds (i.e. mortgage backed securities, bank debt and corporate), loans or commodities. The value of a total return swap is equal to the change in value of the underlying asset versus the accrued income payment based on SOFR or some other form of indices on the notional amount. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or loss. A Fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or if the counterparty defaults on its obligation to perform. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest rate and Total Return swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after a Fund’s portfolio. In connection with swap agreements, securities may be set aside as collateral by a Fund’s custodian.
Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. The Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect, if any, unrealized appreciation or depreciation and accrued periodic payments for swap contracts the Funds may have open.
Entering into swap contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these contracts, that the counterparty to the contract may default on its obligation to perform and that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions or fluctuations in interest rates. Swaps outstanding at year end, if any, are listed on the Schedules of Investments. Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding open swap contracts, if applicable.
There is the risk that the counterparty refuses to continue to enter into swap agreements with the Funds in the future, or requires increased fees, which could impair the Funds’ ability to achieve their investment objective. A counterparty may also increase its collateral requirements, which may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and reduce investment returns. In addition, if the Funds cannot locate a counterparty willing to enter into transactions with the Funds, they will not be able to implement their investment strategy.
Foreign currency translation – Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in or expected to settle in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates on the following basis:
| A. | The fair values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated as of the close of the NYSE each day. |
| B. | Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the respective date of such transactions. |
| C. | The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations caused by changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from those caused by changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments. |
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from 1) purchases and sales of foreign currencies, 2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and 3) the difference between the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Reported net unrealized foreign exchange gains and
91
| WESTWOOD FUNDS |
losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities that result from changes in exchange rates.
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received, capital gain on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions (a portion of which may be reclaimable). All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which a Fund invests.
Forward foreign currency contracts – The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to offset the exposure to foreign currency. All foreign currency contracts are “marked- to-market” daily at the applicable translation rates, resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized and unrealized gains or losses from transactions in foreign contracts, if any, will be included on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Risks associated with these contracts include the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
Borrowing costs – From time to time, the Funds may have an overdrawn cash balance at the custodian due to redemptions or market movements. When this occurs, the Funds will incur borrowing costs charged by the custodian. Borrowing costs for each Fund, if any, for the year ended October 31, 2025 can be found on the Statements of Operations.
ReFlow transactions – Certain Funds may participate in ReFlow, a program designed to provide an alternative liquidity source for mutual funds experiencing redemptions of their shares. In order to pay cash to shareholders who redeem their shares on a given day, a mutual fund typically must hold cash in its portfolio, liquidate portfolio securities, or borrow money, all of which impose certain costs on the fund. ReFlow provides participating mutual funds with another source of cash by standing ready to purchase shares from a fund equal to the amount of the fund’s net redemptions on a given day. ReFlow then generally redeems those shares when the fund experiences net sales. In return for this service, the fund will pay a fee to ReFlow at a rate determined by a daily auction with other participating mutual funds. The costs to a Fund for participating in ReFlow are generally expected to be influenced by and comparable to the cost of other sources of liquidity, such as the Fund’s short-term lending arrangements or the costs of selling portfolio securities to meet redemptions. ReFlow is prohibited from acquiring more than 2.95% of the total net assets of any Fund. The Board has adopted certain procedures to govern the Funds’ participation in ReFlow. During the year ended October 31, 2025, no ReFlow fees were incurred.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Redemption fees – In an effort to discourage short-term trading and defray costs incurred by shareholders as a result of short-term trading, the Alternative Income Fund charges a 1.00% redemption fee on redemptions (including exchanges) of shares that have been held for less than 30 days. The redemption fee is deducted from the Fund’s sale proceeds and cannot be paid separately, and any proceeds of the fee are credited to the assets of the Fund from which the redemption was made. The fee does not apply to shares purchased with reinvested dividends or distributions. Redemption fees collected, if any, are shown on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Distributions to shareholders – Value, MidCap, SMidCap, SmallCap, and AllCap Funds distribute to shareholders any net investment income dividends and net realized capital gains distributions, if any, at least once each year. Income Opportunity and Alternative Income Funds distribute to shareholders any net investment income dividends quarterly up until June 30, 2025 and then switched to monthly, and net realized capital gains distributions, if any, at least once each year. Multi-Asset Income Fund distributes to shareholders any net investment income dividends monthly and net realized capital gains distributions, if any, at least once each year. MLP & Energy Infrastructure and Real Estate Income Funds distribute substantially all of their net income to shareholders on a quarterly basis and their net capital gains to shareholders at least annually in December. Tactical Growth and Tactical Plus Funds distribute to shareholders any net investment income and net realized capital gains annually in December. The amount of such
92
| WESTWOOD FUNDS |
dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The character of dividends paid to shareholders of the Funds for federal income tax purposes during the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, ten months ended October 31, 2024 and year December 31, 2023 if applicable, was as follows:

Federal income tax – Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Qualification generally will relieve the Funds of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of their net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed in accordance with the Code.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The difference between the federal income tax cost of investments and the financial statement cost of investments are due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, constructive dividend income, partnership adjustments, straddle loss deferral, contingent debt adjustment, perpetual bond and options, future and swap mark to market adjustments.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” of being sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed each Fund’s tax positions for the current and all open tax years (generally, three years) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
In order to meet the distribution requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and maintain regulated investment company status, the MLP & Energy Infrastructure Fund paid a “deficiency dividend,” as such term is defined by Section 860(f) of the Code, to the MLP & Energy Infrastructure Fund’s shareholders totaling $5,648,856 from ordinary income on July 12, 2023. The Adviser reimbursed the MLP & Energy Infrastructure Fund in the amount of $32,497 for the amount of excise tax associated with the under-distribution. An estimated amount of $300,000 is accrued in the MLP & Energy Infrastructure Fund to cover any additional interest and penalties that may still be charged. The Adviser has committed to reimbursing the MLP & Energy Infrastructure Fund for this expense once the final amount is known and has $300,000 accrued in the Fund to cover the estimated amount.

For each share class of each Fund, the Base Fee and Performance Adjustment are each calculated and accrued daily based on the average daily net assets of the share class during the Performance Period. |
| (a) | The Base Fee is an annual rate of 0.38%. The Index Hurdle is the Blended 80/20 Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index/S&P 500® Index plus 1.00%. The Performance Adjustment is calculated according to a schedule that adds or subtracts 0.0032% of the share class’s average daily net assets for each 0.01% by which the performance of the share class exceeds or lags the performance of the Index Hurdle over the Performance Period. The maximum Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) will not exceed an annual rate of +/- 0.32% of the share class’s average daily net assets during the Performance Period, which would occur when the performance of the share class exceeds, or is exceeded by, the performance of the Index Hurdle by 1.00% over the Performance Period. Accordingly, the management fee will range from a minimum annual rate of 0.06% to a maximum annual rate of 0.70%. |
| (b) | The Base Fee is an annual rate of 0.53%. The Index Hurdle is the FTSE 1-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index plus 2.00%. The Performance Adjustment is calculated according to a schedule that adds or subtracts 0.0016% of the share class’s average daily net assets for each 0.01% by which the performance of the share class exceeds or lags the performance of the Index Hurdle over the Performance Period. The maximum Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) will not exceed an annual rate of +/- 0.32% of the share class’s average daily net assets during the Performance Period, which would occur when the performance of the share class exceeds, or is exceeded by, the performance of the Index Hurdle by 2.00% over the Performance Period. Accordingly, the management fee will range from a minimum annual rate of 0.21% to a maximum annual rate of 0.85%. |
Under the terms of the ELA, investment management fee reductions and expense reimbursements by the Adviser are subject to repayment by the Funds for a period of three years after the date on which such fees and expenses were incurred or waived, provided that the repayments do not cause total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of such reductions and reimbursements) to exceed (i) the expense limitation then in effect, if any, and (ii) the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be repaid were incurred. Fee waivers/expense reimbursements for the Predecessor Funds prior to the Reorganization on November 1, 2021 are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser. The prior 0.25% contractual management fee waiver for Real Estate Income Fund is not subject to recoupment. As of October 31, 2025, the Adviser may seek repayment of investment management fee reductions and expense reimbursements no later than the dates below:

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities:
Alternative Income, MLP & Energy Infrastructure, Real Estate Income, Tactical Growth, and Tactical Plus Funds are required to disclose the impact of offsetting assets and liabilities represented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on its financial position for recognized assets and liabilities. These recognized assets and liabilities are financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement or meet the following right of setoff criteria: the amounts owed by these Funds to another party are determinable, the Funds have the right to set off the amounts owed with the amounts owed by the other party, the Funds intend to set off, and the Funds’ right of setoff is enforceable at law.
A fund is subject to various netting arrangements with select counterparties (“Master Agreements” or “MNAs”). Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow a fund to close out and net its total exposure to a specific counterparty entity in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a specific counterparty entity.
Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold, which typically ranges from zero to $250,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. United States Treasury Securities and U.S. dollar cash are generally the preferred forms of collateral. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of investments at value (securities) or deposits due from counterparties (cash). Cash collateral received is not typically held in a segregated account and as such is reflected as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as deposits due to counterparties. The market value
109
| WESTWOOD FUNDS |
of any securities received as collateral is not reflected as a component of net asset value. A fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement.
Customer account agreements and related addendums govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared Over The Counter (“OTC”) derivatives. Cleared derivative transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency which is segregated at a broker account registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or the applicable regulator. In the U.S., counterparty risk is believed to be reduced as creditors of the futures broker do not have claim to fund assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk to the funds. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but generally may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives.
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by a fund and select counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements. In limited circumstances, the ISDA Master Agreement may contain additional provisions that add additional counterparty protection beyond coverage of existing daily exposure if the counterparty has a decline in credit quality below a predefined level. These amounts, if any, may be segregated with a third party custodian.
As of October 31, 2025, derivative assets and liabilities by type by Fund are as follows:

6. Investments in Money Market Funds
In order to maintain sufficient liquidity to implement investment strategies, or for temporary defensive purposes, the Funds may at times invest a significant portion of their assets in shares of money market funds. As of October 31, 2025, Tactical Growth Fund and Tactical Plus Fund had 32.9% and 83.6%, respectively, of the value of its net assets invested in shares of a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act. The annual report, along with the report of the independent registered public accounting firm is included in the money market fund’s N-CSR available at www.sec.gov. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, entity or person. While investor losses in money market funds have been rare, they are possible. The Funds, as investors in money market funds, indirectly bear the fees and expenses of those funds, which are in addition to the fees and expenses of the respective Fund.
7. Certain Investments and Risks
Below are summaries of some, but not all, of the principal risks of investing in one or more of the Funds, each of which could adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, yield and total return. Each risk listed below does not necessarily apply to each Fund, and you should read each Fund’s prospectus carefully for a description of the principal risks associated with investing in a particular Fund.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH LOWER RATE DEBT SECURITIES
Multi-Asset Income Fund invests substantially all of its assets in high yield, or “junk,” bonds, and such investments represent highly speculative securities that are usually issued by smaller, less creditworthy and/or highly leveraged (indebted) companies. Compared with investment-grade bonds, high yield bonds are considered to carry a greater degree of risk and are considered to be less likely to make payments of interest and principal. In particular, lower-quality high yield bonds (rated CCC, CC, C, or unrated securities judged to be of comparable quality) are subject to a greater degree of credit risk than higher-quality high yield bonds and may be near default. High yield bonds rated D are in default. Market developments and the financial and business conditions of the corporation issuing these securities generally influence their price and liquidity more than changes in interest rates, when compared to investment-grade debt securities. In addition, insufficient liquidity in the non-investment grade bond market may make it more difficult to dispose of non-investment grade bonds and may cause the Fund to experience sudden and substantial price declines.
SECTOR RISK
If a Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers in industries within a particular business sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss of an investment in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share. From time to time, circumstances may affect a particular sector and the companies within such sector. For instance, economic or market factors, regulation or deregulation, or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector and therefore the value of a Fund’s portfolio would be adversely affected. As of October 31, 2025, Alternative Income Fund had 34.8% of the value of its net assets invested in securities in the Technology sector, and Real Estate Income Fund had 82.3% of the value of its net assets invested in securities in the Real Estate sector.

8. Contingencies and Commitments
The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which 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. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
9. In-Kind Transactions
During the year ended October 31, 2025, there were no redeemed shares of beneficial interest in exchange for securities.
10. Subsequent Events
The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted the following:
Subsequent to October 31, 2025, the Westwood Quality AllCap Fund had net capital redemptions in the amount of $21,444,113, which represented 97.5% of the net assets of the Fund.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits include performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and underlying issuers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies within the Westwood Family of Funds since 2023.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees voting separately, has reviewed and approved the continuance of the: (i) Investment Advisory Agreement with Westwood Management Corp. (“Westwood”) with respect to the Westwood Alternative Income Fund, Westwood Income Opportunity Fund, Westwood Multi-Asset Income Fund, Westwood Quality AllCap Fund, Westwood Quality MidCap Fund, Westwood Quality SmallCap Fund, Westwood Quality SMid Cap Fund, and Westwood Quality Value Fund, (ii) Investment Advisory Agreement with Westwood with respect to the Westwood Real Estate Income Fund, Westwood Broadmark Tactical Growth Fund, and Westwood Salient MLP & Energy Infrastructure Fund; (iii) Investment Advisory Agreement with Salient Advisors, L.P. (“Salient”) with respect to the Westwood Broadmark Tactical Plus Fund; (iv) Sub-Advisory Agreement between Salient and Broadmark Asset Management LLC (“Broadmark”) with respect to the Westwood Broadmark Tactical Plus Fund; and (v) Sub-Advisory Agreement between Westwood and Broadmark with respect to the Westwood Broadmark Tactical Growth Fund (individually, a “Westwood Fund” and collectively, the “Westwood Funds”) for an additional one year term.
The Board approved the Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a meeting held on July 21-22, 2025, at which all of the Trustees were present (the “Meeting”).
Prior to the Meeting, each of Westwood and Salient (each a “Westwood Adviser” and together, the “Westwood Advisers”) and Broadmark (the “Sub-Adviser”) provided a response to a letter sent by the counsel to the Independent Trustees, on their behalf, requesting various information relevant to the Independent Trustees’ consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to the Funds. In approving the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees considered all information they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The principal areas of review by the Independent Trustees were: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Westwood Advisers and the Sub-Adviser; (2) the investment performance of the Funds; (3) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Westwood Advisers and the Sub-Adviser from their relationships with the Funds; (4) the financial condition of the Westwood Advisers and the Sub-Adviser; (5) the fall out benefits derived by the Westwood Advisers and their affiliates (including the Sub-Adviser) from their relationships with the Funds and (6) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ shareholders. The Independent Trustees’ evaluation of the quality of the Westwood Advisers’ services and the Sub-Adviser’s services also took into consideration their knowledge gained through presentations and reports from the Westwood Advisers and the Sub-Adviser over the course of the preceding year. The Independent Trustees’ analysis of these factors is set forth below.
117
| WESTWOOD FUNDS |
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board evaluated the level and depth of knowledge of the Westwood Advisers as well as the Sub-Adviser, including the professional experience and qualifications of senior personnel. The Board noted the affiliation of the Westwood Advisers and the Sub-Adviser and the fact that they shared many of the same personnel and resources. In evaluating the quality of services provided by the Westwood Advisers and the Sub-Adviser, the Board took into account its familiarity with the Westwood Advisers and Sub-Adviser’s senior management through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year. The Board also took into account the Westwood Advisers and the Sub-Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures based on discussion with the Westwood Advisers, the Sub-Adviser and the CCO. The quality of administrative and other services, including each Westwood Adviser’s role in coordinating the activities of each Westwood Fund’s other service providers, was also considered. The Board also considered the Westwood Advisers’ relationship with their affiliates (including the Sub-Adviser) and the resources available to them, as well as any potential conflicts of interest. The Board discussed the nature and extent of the services provided by the Westwood Advisers and the Sub-Adviser including, without limitation, each Westwood Adviser’s continuous review, supervision and administration of the investment program of the Westwood Funds and the Sub-Adviser’s provision of the continuous investment program of the Westwood Funds. The Board also considered the Westwood Advisers and the Sub-Adviser’s succession planning for senior personnel. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Westwood Funds by each Westwood Adviser under its respective Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Fees and Expenses and Comparative Accounts
The Board compared each of the advisory and sub-advisory fees, as applicable, and the total expense ratio for each Westwood Fund with various comparative data. In particular, the Board compared each Westwood Fund’s advisory fee and overall expense ratio to the median advisory fees and expense ratios for its custom peer group provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) and fees charged to the Westwood Advisers and the Sub-Adviser’s other client accounts. In reviewing the comparison in fees and expense ratios between each Westwood Fund and comparable funds, the Board also considered the differences in types of funds being compared, the styles of investment management, the size of each Westwood Fund relative to the comparable funds, and the nature of the investment strategies. The Board also considered each Westwood Adviser’s commitment to limit each Westwood Fund’s expenses under the Westwood expense limitation agreement until at least March 1, 2026. The Board noted that the net expense ratio for each of the Alternative Income Fund, the Tactical Growth Fund, the AllCap Fund, the MidCap Fund, the Small Cap Fund, the SMidCap Fund, the Value Fund and the MLP and Energy Infrastructure Fund were all in the first or second quartile for expenses relative to their respective custom peer groups provided by Broadridge, while the net expense ratio for each of the Income Opportunity Fund, Multi-Asset Income Fund, Real Estate Income Fund and Tactical Plus Fund were all in the third or fourth quartile for expenses relative to their respective custom peer groups provided by Broadridge. The Board also noted that the contractual advisory fee for each of the Alternative Income Fund, the AllCap Fund, the MidCap Fund, the SMidCap Fund, the Value Fund and the MLP and Energy Infrastructure Fund were all in the first or second quartile for advisory fees relative to their respective custom peer groups provided by Broadridge, while the contractual advisory fee for each of the Income Opportunity Fund, Multi-Asset Income Fund, Real Estate Income Fund, the Small Cap Fund, the Tactical Growth Fund, and Tactical Plus Fund were all in the third or fourth quartile for advisory fees relative to their respective custom peer groups provided by Broadridge. The Board further noted Westwood’s response in the Board Materials that it seeks for each Fund to be within the top two quartiles of comparable expenses to its peers, and that if fees and expenses fell out of the top two quartiles, Westwood would consider a reduction in advisory fee or further limiting the Funds’ expenses, as appropriate. The Board also noted that the Alternative Income Fund and the Multi-Asset Income Fund each had a base fee coupled with a positive or negative performance adjustment.
The Board also compared the sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Adviser and the fees charged to the Sub-Adviser’s other client accounts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fee under the Sub-Advisory Agreements was paid by each Westwood Adviser out of its respective advisory fees it receives from the Tactical Funds. The Board considered the
118
| WESTWOOD FUNDS |
amount to be retained by each Westwood Adviser and the sub-advisory fee to be paid to the Sub-Adviser with respect to various services that they each provided to the Westwood Funds. The Board discussed each Westwood Adviser’s process for monitoring the performance of the Sub-Adviser, which included an examination of both qualitative and quantitative elements of the Sub-Adviser’s organization, personnel, procedures, investment discipline, infrastructure and performance. The Board considered that the Westwood Advisers conduct periodic compliance due diligence of the Sub-Adviser, during which each Westwood Adviser examines a wide variety of factors, such as the financial condition of the Sub-Adviser, the quality of the Sub-Adviser’s systems, the effectiveness of the Sub-Adviser’s disaster recovery programs, trade allocation and execution procedures, compliance with the Sub-Adviser’s policies and procedures, results of regulatory examinations and any other factors that might affect the quality of services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser to the Fund. The Board noted that the Westwood Advisers’ compliance monitoring processes also would include quarterly reviews of compliance certifications, and that any issues arising from such certifications and the Advisor’s compliance reviews of the Sub-Adviser would be reported to the Board.
Fund Performance
The Board also considered, among other data, each Westwood Fund’s performance results during certain periods ended April 30, 2025 and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about each Westwood Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted Westwood’s efforts to address underperforming Funds. The Board also took into account current market conditions and their effect on each Fund’s performance.
Economies of Scale
The Board also considered the effect of each Westwood Fund’s growth and size on its performance and expenses. The Board noted that the Westwood Advisers limited fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Westwood Funds in order to reduce each Fund’s operating expenses to targeted levels. The Board considered the effective advisory fee under the Advisory Agreement as a percentage of assets at different asset levels and possible economies of scale that might be realized if the assets of the Westwood Funds increased. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fee under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is paid by each Westwood Adviser out of the advisory fee that it receives from a Westwood Fund. The Board also noted that the advisory fee schedule for the Westwood Funds currently did not have breakpoints, and considered Westwood’s assertion that adding breakpoints was not necessary at this time. The Board noted that if a Westwood Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board further noted that the advisory fee payable to each Westwood Adviser from the Westwood Funds was reduced by the sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser, as applicable.
Financial Condition and Profitability
Additionally, the Board took into consideration the financial condition and profitability of each Westwood Adviser and its affiliates (including the Sub-Adviser) and the direct and indirect benefits derived by each Westwood Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for each Fund, each Westwood Adviser’s business as a whole, as well as the Sub-Adviser’s business. The Board considered each Westwood Adviser’s commitment to contractually limit each Westwood Fund’s net operating expenses and its payment of the sub-advisory fee out of the advisory fee it received from each Westwood Fund. The Board reviewed the profitability of each Westwood Adviser’s relationship with the Westwood Funds both before and after tax expenses. The Board recognized that each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services each provides to the Fund and the entrepreneurial risk that each Westwood Adviser assumes as investment adviser. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that each Westwood Adviser and Sub-Adviser’s level of profitability, if any, from their relationship with the Funds was reasonable and not excessive. The Board also considered whether each Westwood Adviser and Sub-Adviser has the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to each Fund, noting its ongoing commitment to provide support and resources to the Fund as needed.
119
| WESTWOOD FUNDS |
Fall-Out Benefits
The Board also noted that each Westwood Adviser and the Sub-Adviser derive benefits to their reputations and other benefits from their association with the Funds. The Board recognized that each Westwood Adviser and the Sub-Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to the Westwood Funds and the entrepreneurial risk that it assumes as an investment adviser or sub-adviser, as applicable. Based upon its review the Board concluded that each Westwood Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Westwood Funds was reasonable and not excessive.
In considering the renewal of each of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them. The Board concluded the following: (a) each of the Westwood Advisers and Sub-Adviser demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively; (b) each of the Westwood Advisers and Sub-Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program; (c) the overall performance of each Westwood Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices; and (d) each Westwood Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are reasonable in light of the services received by each Westwood Fund from a Westwood Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the other factors considered. Based on their conclusions, the Trustees determined with respect to each Westwood Fund that continuation of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

WESTWOOD FUNDS
| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
1. Organization
Westwood Salient Enhanced Midstream Income ETF (“Midstream Income ETF”), Westwood Salient Enhanced Energy Income ETF (“Energy Income ETF”) and Westwood LBRTY Global Equity ETF (“Global Equity ETF”) (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a series of Ultimus Managers Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end investment company established as an Ohio business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated February 28, 2012. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). Other series of the Trust are not included in this report. The Midstream Income ETF commenced operations on April 8, 2024, the Energy Income ETF commenced operations on April 30, 2024 and the Global Equity ETF commenced operations on March 26, 2025.
The Midstream Income ETF and Energy Income ETF are non-diversified, exchange-traded funds (“ETF”) that seek to provide current income and capital appreciation. The Global Equity ETF seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the TOBAM LBRTY® All World Equity Index. The Fund is classified as diversified, however, the Fund may operate as a non-diversified fund to the approximate extent the TOBAM LBRTY® All World Equity Index is non-diversified.
Shares of the Midstream Income ETF are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Shares of the Energy Income ETF are listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). Shares of the Global Equity ETF are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange Arca (“NYSE Arca”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”.) The Funds issue and redeem shares solely to certain financial institutions such as registered broker-dealers and banks (“Authorized Participants” or “APs”) that have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor on a continuous basis at the NAV per share in aggregations of a specified number of shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units generally are issued in exchange for a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”), together with the deposit of a specified cash payment (“Balancing Amount”). Shares are not individually redeemable, but are redeemable only in Creation Unit aggregations, and generally in exchange for portfolio securities and a specified cash payment. A Creation Unit of the Funds consists of a block of shares.
Westwood Management Corporation (the “Adviser” or “Westwood”) serves as investment advisor to the Funds. Westwood is wholly owned subsidiary of Westwood Holdings Group, Inc., an institutional asset management company.
The Adviser has retained Vident Asset Management (the “Sub-Adviser”) to serve as the trading sub-adviser for the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is responsible for trading portfolio securities for the Funds, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, subject to supervision of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
Other series of the Trust, that are also managed by the Adviser, invest in the Midstream Income ETF and Energy Income ETF, therefore making them affiliates of the other series.
The Funds have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (“Topic 280”) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of ASU 2023-07 impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or the results of their operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as 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 public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is the Adviser of the Funds. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each Fund’s income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and
16
WESTWOOD FUNDS
assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of each Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
New accounting pronouncement – In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (“Topic 740”) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Fund Management does not believe there will be any impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds follow accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
Securities valuation – Each Fund values its portfolio securities at market value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open for business. The Funds value their listed securities on the basis of the security’s last sale price on the security’s primary exchange, if available, otherwise at the exchange’s most recently quoted mean price. NASDAQ-listed securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Investments representing shares of other open-end investment companies, other than exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), if any, but including money market funds, are valued at their NAV as reported by such companies. Option contracts are valued at the closing price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded; if no closing price is available at the time of valuation, the option will be valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices for that day. When using a quoted price and when the market is considered active, these securities will be classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy (see below). Fixed income securities, if any, are generally valued using prices provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board. The independent pricing service uses information with respect to transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities, and various relationships between securities in determining these prices. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, the Funds value its securities and other assets at fair value as determined by the Adviser, as the Funds’ valuation designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Under these procedures, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used. Unavailable or unreliable market quotes may be due to the following factors: a substantial bid-ask spread; infrequent sales resulting in stale prices; insufficient trading volume; small trade sizes; a temporary lapse in any reliable pricing source; and actions of the securities or futures markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading. As a result, the prices of securities used to calculate the Funds’ NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Securities traded on foreign exchanges, if any, are fair valued by an independent pricing service and translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service.
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| ● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs |
17
WESTWOOD FUNDS
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs |
The inputs or methods used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Refer to the Funds’ Schedules of Investments for a listing of securities by sector and industry type. The Funds did not hold any derivative instruments or any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of or during the year or period ended October 31, 2025.
Cash – The Funds’ cash, if any, is held in a bank account with balances which may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limit of $250,000. The cash balances reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the Funds represent the amount held as of October 31, 2025.
Share valuation – The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the assets, less the liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share is equal to the NAV per share.
Investment income – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the security received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been recorded in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received for the Funds’ investments in Master Limited
18
WESTWOOD FUNDS
Partnerships (“MLPs”) may be comprised of both income and return of capital. The Funds record investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
Investment transactions – Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on a specific identification basis.
Common expenses – Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds and the other series of the Trust based on the relative net assets of each series, the number of series in the Trust, or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each series.
Options written/purchased – The Midstream Income ETF and Energy Income ETF may utilize longer maturity options for stock replacement when and as price and volatility relationships become more favorable for options versus underlying stocks or for tax and liquidity management purposes. The Funds are authorized to write (sell) and purchase put and call options. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity to profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes.
Foreign currency translation – Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in or expected to settle in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates on the following basis:
A. The fair values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated as of the close of the NYSE each day.
B. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the respective date of such transactions.
C. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations caused by changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from those caused by changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from 1) purchases and sales of foreign currencies, 2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and 3) the difference between the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Reported net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities that result from changes in exchange rates.
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received, capital gain on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions (a portion of which may be reclaimable). All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Distributions to shareholders – The Midstream Income ETF and Energy Income ETF each distributes substantially all of its net income to shareholders on a monthly basis and its net capital gains to shareholders at least annually in December. The Global Equity ETF distributes substantially all of its net income to shareholders on a quarterly basis and its net capital gains to shareholders at least annually in December. The amount of such dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Federal income tax – Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Qualification generally will relieve the Funds of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of their net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed in accordance with the Code.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The difference between the federal income tax cost of investments and the financial statement cost of investments are due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are primarily due to the tax deferral on losses on wash sales, partnership adjustments, options mark to market adjustments, and C-corp basis adjustments.
As of November 30, 2024, the Midstream Income ETF had short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, which may be carried forward indefinitely.

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under current income tax regulations. These permanent differences that are credited or charged to Paid-in capital and Distributable earnings as of October 31, 2025 are primarily related to adjustments for publicly traded partnerships, return of capital distributions and/or redemptions in-kind.
As of October 31, 2025, the following adjustments were made:

The Funds recognize the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” of being sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for the current and open periods and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. The Funds identify its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the period ended October 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities:
The Funds are required to disclose the impact of offsetting assets and liabilities represented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on its financial position for recognized assets and liabilities. These recognized assets and liabilities are financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement or meet the following right of setoff criteria: the amounts owed by the Funds to another party are determinable, the Funds have the right to set off the amounts owed with the amounts owed by the other party, the Funds intend to set off, and the Funds’ right of setoff is enforceable at law.
A fund is subject to various netting arrangements with select counterparties (“Master Agreements” or “MNAs”). Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow a fund to close out and net its total exposure to a specific counterparty entity in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a specific counterparty entity.
Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at prearranged exposure levels. Under the Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold, which typically ranges from zero to $250,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. United States Treasury Securities and U.S. dollar cash are generally the preferred forms of collateral. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of investments at value (securities) or deposits due from counterparties (cash). Cash collateral received is not typically held in a segregated account and as such is reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as deposits due to counterparties. The market value of any securities received as collateral is not reflected as a component of net asset value. A fund’s overall exposure to
24
WESTWOOD FUNDS
counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement.
As of October 31, 2025, derivative assets and liabilities by type by Fund are as follows:
| Descriptions | Assets | Liabilities | ||||||
| Midstream Income ETF | ||||||||
| Derivatives Financial Instruments: | ||||||||
| Options contract | $ | — | $ | (651,123 | ) | |||

| Total assets and liabilities subject to a MNA | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
Certain derivative contracts are executed under either standardized netting agreements or, for exchange-traded derivatives, the relevant contracts for a particular exchange that contain enforceable netting provisions. A derivative netting arrangement creates an enforceable right of set-off that becomes effective and affects the realization of settlement on individual assets, liabilities and collateral amounts, only following a specified event of default or early termination. Default events may include the failure to make payments or deliver securities timely, material adverse changes in financial condition or insolvency, the breach of minimum regulatory capital requirements, or loss of license, charter or other legal authorization necessary to perform under the contract.
6. Capital Share Transactions
Only certain financial institutions such as registered broker-dealers and banks that have entered into agreements with the APs may acquire shares directly from the Funds and tender their shares for redemption directly to the Funds. Such purchases and redemptions are made at NAV per share and only in large blocks, or Creation Units, of shares. Purchases and redemptions directly with the Funds must follow the Funds’ procedures, which are described in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).
A creation transaction, which is subject to acceptance by the Funds’ Distributor and the Funds, generally takes place when an AP deposits into the Funds a designated portfolio of securities (“Deposit Securities”) (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash approximating the holdings of the Funds in exchange for a specified number of Creation Units. The composition of such portfolio generally corresponds pro rata to the holdings of the Funds. However, the Funds may, in certain circumstances, offer Creation Units partially or solely for cash. Similarly, shares can be redeemed only in Creation Units, generally for a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) held by the Funds and a specified amount of cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable. The prices at which creations and redemptions occur are based on the next calculation of NAV after a creation or redemption order is received in an acceptable form under the AP agreement. Realized gains (losses) resulting from in-kind redemption of shares, if any, are reflected separately on the Statements of Operations.
25
WESTWOOD FUNDS
The Funds charge APs standard creation and redemption transaction fees (“Transaction Fees”) to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. The standard creation and redemption transaction fees are set forth in the table below. The standard creation transaction fee is charged to the AP on the day such AP creates a Creation Unit, and is the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by the AP on the applicable business day. Similarly, the standard redemption transaction fee is charged to the AP on the day such AP redeems a Creation Unit, and is the same regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed by the AP on the applicable business day. Creations and redemptions for cash (when cash creations and redemptions (in whole or in part) are available or specified) are also subject to an additional charge (up to the maximum amounts shown in the table below). This charge is intended to compensate for brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution, price movement and other costs and expenses related to cash transactions (which may, in certain instances, be based on a good faith estimate of transaction costs). For the period ended October 31, 2025, the Midstream Income ETF, Energy Income ETF and Global Equity ETF received $42,500, $6,500 and $18,000, respectively, in transaction fees.
The Transaction Fees for the Funds are listed in the table below:
| Fee for In-Kind and Cash Purchases |
Maximum Additional Variable Charge for Cash Purchases * |
|||||||
| Midstream Income ETF | $ | 500 | 2.00 | % | ||||
| Energy Income ETF | $ | 500 | 2.00 | % | ||||
| Global Equity ETF | $ | 1,800 | 2.00 | % | ||||
| * | As a percentage of the amount invested. |
7. Sector Risk
If the Funds have significant investments in the securities of issuers in industries within a particular business sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Funds than would be the case if the Funds did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss of an investment in the Funds and increase the volatility of the Funds’ NAV per share. From time to time, circumstances may affect a particular sector and the companies within such sector. For instance, economic or market factors, regulation or deregulation, or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector and therefore the value of a Funds’ portfolio would be adversely affected. As of October 31, 2025, the Midstream Income ETF had 25.1% and 25.2% of the value of its net assets invested in securities in the Gathering & Processing and Natural Gas Liquids Infrastructure sectors, respectively, and the Energy Income ETF had 64.0% of the value of its net assets in securities in the Exploration & Production sector.
8. Non-Diversification Risk
The Midstream Income ETF and Energy Income ETF are non-diversified funds. Because each Fund may invest in securities of a smaller number of issuers, each Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting and individual issuer than a fund that invests more widely, which may, therefore, have a greater impact on each Funds’ performance.
26
WESTWOOD FUNDS
9. Contingencies and Commitments
The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
10. Subsequent Events
The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events except for the following:
The following funds paid distributions to shareholders subsequent to October 31, 2025:
| Record Date | Ex-Date | Income Per Share |
||||||
| Midstream Income ETF | 11/26/2025 | 11/26/2025 | $ | 0.225 | ||||
| Energy Income ETF | 11/26/2025 | 11/26/2025 | 0.225 | |||||
Effective December 12, 2025, for its services, the Sub-Adviser is paid fee by the Adviser, which fee is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate based on the average daily net assets of each Fund at the following rate: 0.05% of the Fund’s first $100 million of average daily net assets; 0.04% of the Fund’s next $250 million of average daily net assets; and 0.02% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $350 million (subject to a minimum of $35,000 per year per Fund on the first six Westwood-managed funds that use the Sub-Adviser as well as subject to a maximum cap).
