HOW
DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS
PERFORMANCE?
Exchanges,
or more broadly, positions with exposure to trading platforms, drove positive
performance for the Fund. This segment
has remained the focus of BCDF, as digital assets have been legitimized by
regulators in ways that allow capital market
participants more avenues for continued development and execution. Many
exchanges took a step forward this year
to position themselves for markets in the process of adapting to the growing
digital asset markets. Trading activity across
many traditional asset classes was elevated, as many exchanges announced another
record year. Traditional asset classes
remain the core operational driver of business results for most exchanges,
though continued execution within core business
lines is welcomed as exchanges continue to integrate digital
assets.

HOW
DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS
PERFORMANCE?
The
Fund’s performance was influenced by energy prices, primarily natural gas and
oil. While oil prices (WTI) declined by almost
20% in 2025, natural gas prices (Henry Hub) increased by 28%, enabling the Fund
to provide a return of 9.4%. However,
price is only part of the equation; volumes matter as well. U.S. oil and gas
production continued to edge higher in 2025,
which supported activity levels and benefited the companies in which the Fund
invests. Infrastructure development is
another key driver. Ongoing investment in pipelines and related
assets—particularly in Texas—has remained robust, enabling
increased throughput and sustaining elevated levels of industry
activity.

HOW
DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS
PERFORMANCE?
The
Fund benefited from its exposure to real asset end markets including precious
metals, financial exchanges and nuclear
power/uranium. Precious metal (gold, silver, platinum metal group) prices rose
sharply during the year as central banks
and investment flows drove demand, while exchanges benefited from volatility and
product development driving volumes.
Energy and related land assets detracted from returns as the market forecasts a
short-term excess of supply that
obscures attractive long-term balances and incremental growth related to AI data
center demand.

HOW
DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS
PERFORMANCE?
The
Fund performance for calendar year 2025 was largely contributed by investment in
a defense and shipping technology
company. The portfolio of owner operator companies continued to capture
opportunities in their niche business areas
through leveraging their competitive strength and advantages, and the strategy
benefited from what we believe attractive
valuations. JAPN primarily invests in Japanese domestic businesses where the
impact of currency moves and geopolitical
changes are limited. This resulted in performance diversion from the overall
Japan equity market, which benefited
from weaker JPY versus USD and outperformance by multinational large
market capitalization companies during the
relevant period.
HOW
DID THE FUND PERFORM SINCE
INCEPTION?*
The
$10,000
chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000
investment in the class of shares noted and assumes the maximum sales
charge. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains. Fund

deducted.

HOW
DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS

The
Fund benefited from its exposure to various major pharmaceutical businesses that
develop drugs in the diabetes, oncology,
immunology and neuroscience fields. Diabetes drugs continue to have rapid growth
amongst GLP-1 agonists that
are being used for weight loss applications. The Fund also benefited to a lesser
extent from exposure to biotechnology
companies targeting various rare and neurological
diseases.

HOW
DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS
PERFORMANCE?
2025
saw a resurgence in special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) initial public
offerings (IPOs), which were led by experienced
sponsor teams, and an increase in deal announcements. A still sluggish
traditional IPO market and a lighter regulatory
environment are some of the factors that contributed to a benign environment for
SPACs. Our focus on SPACs led
by sponsor teams with a proven track record and backed by a solid underwriter
helped drive performance.
HOW
DID THE FUND PERFORM SINCE
INCEPTION?*
The
$10,000
chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000
investment in the Fund. The chart uses total return NAV performance and
assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses (management
fees) were deducted.

Delaware statutory trust on August 26, 2016, under a Declaration of Trust
amended on December 21, 2018, and is registered with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an open-end management investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
BCDF
is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks long-term growth
of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing
primarily in equity securities that benefit, either directly or indirectly, from
the use of blockchain technology in connection with the issuance, facilitation,
custody, trading and administration of digital assets, including
cryptocurrencies.
NVIR
is an actively managed ETF that seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund
seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in the equity
securities of domestic and foreign companies expected to benefit, either
directly or indirectly, from the increasing focus on climate change and
environmentally sensitive carbon-based energy production. The Fund employs a
dual, reality-based mandate: (1) companies that produce carbon-based energy
positioned to benefit from long-term global demand growth and developing
structural supply insufficiency, and (2) remediation companies with
existing and/or developing technologies that can alleviate the negative
environmental impacts derived from the production and consumption of
hydrocarbons.
INFL
is an actively managed ETF that seeks long-term growth of capital in real
(inflation- adjusted) terms. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective
by investing primarily in the equity securities of domestic and foreign
companies that are expected to benefit, either directly or indirectly, from
rising prices (inflation).
JAPN
is an actively managed ETF that seeks long-term capital growth by investing
primarily in Japanese companies that are operated by individuals that have
significant ownership in the company.
MEDX
is an actively managed ETF that seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund will
invest primarily in patented first line pharmaceuticals and biologics as these
products tend to have high profit margins and significant barriers to entry. The
Fund employs a long-term perspective, seeking to capture returns of both
intrinsic valuation realization and scientific discovery.
SPAQ
is an actively managed ETF that seeks to generate realized capital gains in
excess of short-term interest rates on a risk adjusted basis that pursues its
investment objective primarily by investing, under normal circumstances, in
special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) that Ryan Heritage, LLP, the
Fund’s investment sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”), believes will generate
net realized capital gains in excess of the income derived from bank
certificates of deposit with similar maturities.
MEDX
and SPAQ are the successors in interest to the Kinetics Medical Fund (the
“Medical Fund”) and Kinetics Alternative Income Fund (the “Alternative Income
Fund”), respectively, each a series of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc., (the
“Predecessor Funds”) pursuant to a tax-free reorganization that took place at
7:01 p.m. Eastern Time on January 27, 2023. MEDX is the accounting and
performance information successor of the Kinetics Medical Fund. SPAQ is the
accounting information successor of the Kinetics Alternative Income Fund, but it
has a different investment objective and strategy. Costs incurred by the Funds
in connection with the reorganization were paid by Horizon Kinetics Asset
Management LLC (“Horizon Kinetics” or “Adviser”), the Funds’ Investment Adviser.
JAPN
commenced operations on May 12, 2025. Costs incurred in connection with the
organization, registration and the initial public offering of shares were paid
by the Adviser.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Each
Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company
accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services − Investment Companies.
Each Fund prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and
follows the significant accounting policies described below.
Accounting
Pronouncements. In December 2023,
the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income
Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to provide
transparency and enhanced details for taxes paid and is designed to help
investors better understand an entity's exposure to taxes by type and
jurisdiction. Management has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 with
respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no
material impact for the Funds.
Use
of Estimates − The preparation of the
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Share
Transactions − The net asset value (“NAV”) per
share of each Fund will be equal to the Fund’s total assets minus the Fund’s total liabilities divided by the
total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to
the nearest cent. The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally,
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open
for trading.
Fair
Value Measurement − In calculating the NAV,
each Fund’s exchange-traded equity securities, including ETFs, will be
valued at fair value, which will
generally be determined using the last reported official closing or last trading
price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the
time of valuation. Such valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in
the fair value hierarchy described below. If, on a particular day, an
exchange-traded security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent
quoted bid and asked prices may be used.
Securities
listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. are generally valued at the NASDAQ
official closing price.
The
valuation of each Funds’ investments is performed in accordance with the
principles found in Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. The Board of Trustees of the
Trust (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has designated a fair valuation committee
at the Adviser as the valuation designee of the Funds. In its capacity as
valuation designee, the Adviser has adopted procedures and methodologies to fair
value the Funds’ investments whose market prices are not “readily available” or
are deemed to be unreliable. The circumstances in which a security may be fair
valued include, among others: the occurrence of events that are significant to a
particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults; the occurrence
of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in
a particular region or government actions; trading restrictions on securities;
thinly traded securities; and market events such as trading halts and early
market closings. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, fair values may
differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active
market existed. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV
determined by using market quotations. Such valuations are typically categorized
as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
Cash
and money market deposit accounts may be swept into various interest bearing
overnight demand deposits and is classified as a cash equivalent on the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit
accounts which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next
business day.
Rights
and warrants are valued at the last reported sale price at the time the Funds
calculate their NAV on the exchange on which they are principally traded.
An
amortized cost method of valuation may be used with respect to debt obligations
with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Adviser determines in
good faith that such method does not represent fair value.

Foreign
securities, currencies and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the
U.S. dollar using the applicable currency exchange rates as of the close of the
NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
FASB
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides
guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in volume and
level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly,
and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurements.
Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s
investments. These inputs are summarized in the following hierarchy:
|
Level 1
–
|
Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that
the Fund has the ability to access. |
|
Level 2
–
|
Observable
inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an
inactive market, prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment
speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
|
Level 3
–
|
Unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable
inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about
the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or
liability, and would be based on the best information available.
|
The
fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). See the Schedules of Investments
for a summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2025, for each Fund based
upon the three levels described above.
The
availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is
affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of
security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the
marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to
the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are
less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value
requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in
determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
All
other securities and investments for which market values are not readily
available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is
inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned
procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under
procedures adopted by the Board, although the actual calculations may be done by
others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not
limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the
appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the
issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary,
available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. The
inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Security
Transactions − Investment transactions are
recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from
the sale or disposition of securities are calculated based on the specific
identification basis.
The
Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and currency gains or losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions from
the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from
investments.
The
Funds report net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales
of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on foreign currency transactions, and the difference between
the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on
each Fund’s books and the
TABLE OF CONTENTS

KINETICS ETFs
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. dollar
equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign
exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the values of assets and
liabilities, other than investments in securities at year end, resulting from
changes in exchange rates.
Investment
Income − Dividend income is recognized on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Withholding taxes on foreign
dividends, a portion of which may be reclaimable, has been provided for in
accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and
regulations. Dividend withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to
recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. Discounts/premiums on debt
securities are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities
using the effective interest method. Dividends and distributions which exceed
earnings and profits for tax purposes are reported as a tax return of capital
and are classified as a reduction of cost of investments.
Tax
Information, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders and Uncertain Tax
Positions − The Funds are treated as a separate entity for Federal income tax
purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”)
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Internal Revenue Code”). To qualify and remain eligible for the special tax
treatment accorded to RICs, each Fund must meet certain annual income and
quarterly asset diversification requirements and must distribute annually at
least 90% of the sum of (i) its investment company taxable income (which
includes dividends, interest and net short-term capital gains) and
(ii) certain net tax-exempt income, if any. If so qualified, each Fund will
not be subject to Federal income tax. For the fiscal year, Horizon Kinetics
Inflation Beneficiaries ETF paid excise taxes on undistributed income, which are
presented on the Statements of Operations as Tax Expense.
Distributions
to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds generally pay
out dividends from net investment income, if any, at least annually, and
distribute their net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually.
The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to
comply with Federal tax requirements. The amount of dividends and distributions
from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in
accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts
are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax
basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Management
evaluates the Funds’ tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet
the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for
uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the
purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial
statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required
only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming
examination by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to income
taxes would be recorded as income tax expense. The Funds’ Federal income tax
returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service
(the “IRS”) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State
and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal
year depending on the jurisdiction. As of December 31, 2025, the Funds’
fiscal year end, the Funds had no examination in progress and management is not
aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the amounts
of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve
months.
The
Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax
benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds
recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in the
2025 fiscal year. At December 31, 2025, the Funds’ fiscal year end, the tax
periods from previous three fiscal years (or commencement of operations, if
shorter) remained open to examination in the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions.
Indemnification
− In the normal course of business, the Funds
expects to enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide
general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these anticipated
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.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Investment
Advisory Agreement − The Trust has entered
into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser. Under the Advisory
Agreement, the Adviser provides a continuous investment program for the Funds’
assets in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and limitations,
and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds subject to the supervision
of the Board, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the
Trust as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”).
Pursuant
to the Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and Horizon
Kinetics, each Fund pays a unified management fee to the Adviser, which is
calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s
average daily net assets. Horizon Kinetics has agreed to pay all expenses of the
Funds except the fee paid to Horizon Kinetics under the Advisory Agreement,
interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities
sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing
orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments,
acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary
expenses, and distribution (12b-1) fees and expenses (if any).
The
Adviser previously agreed to waive management fees and reimburse Predecessor
Medical Fund (Successor is MEDX) expenses so that Total Annual Fund Operating
Expenses after Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursements do not exceed 1.39%,
excluding acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”). The Adviser previously
agreed to waive management fees and reimburse Predecessor Alternative Income
Fund (Successor is SPAQ) expenses so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
after Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursements do not exceed 0.95%, excluding
AFFE. These Predecessor Fund waivers and reimbursements terminated upon the
closing of the reorganization.
The
Sub-Adviser, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the sub-adviser to
SPAQ. Pursuant to a Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the
Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), the Sub-Adviser is responsible for
trading portfolio securities on behalf of the Fund, including selecting
broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, subject to the
supervision of the Adviser and the Board, including the independent Trustees.
For its services, the Sub-Adviser is entitled to a sub-advisory fee paid by the
Adviser, at an annual rate of 0.425% of the average daily net assets of the SPAQ
ETF.
Distribution
Agreement and 12b-1 Plan − Foreside Fund
Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Foreside Financial Group, LLC (dba ACA Group) (the
“Distributor”), serves as the Fund’s distributor pursuant to a Distribution
Services Agreement. The Distributor receives compensation for the statutory
underwriting services it provides to the Funds. The Distributor enters into
agreements with certain broker-dealers and others that will allow those parties
to be “Authorized Participants” and to subscribe for and redeem shares of the
Funds. The Distributor will not distribute shares in less than whole Creation
Units and does not maintain a secondary market in shares.
The
Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1 Plan”). In accordance with the
Rule 12b-1 Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of
the Fund’s average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related
activities. As authorized by the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently
paid by the Funds and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the
event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of
each Fund’s assets. The Adviser and its affiliates may, out of their own
resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services
on behalf of the Funds.
Administrator,
Accountant, Custodian and Transfer Agent −
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services” or
“Administrator”) serves as administrator, transfer agent and fund accountant of
the Funds pursuant to a Fund Servicing Agreement. U.S. Bank N.A. (the
“Custodian”), an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as the Funds’ custodian
pursuant to a Custody Agreement. Under the terms of these agreements, the
Adviser pays each Fund’s administrative, accounting, custody and transfer agency
fees.
All
officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Administrator and the Custodian.
4.
CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS
Shares
of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. except for JAPN, MEDX
and SPAQ, which are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, (each an “Exchange”
and collectively the “Exchanges”). Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a
continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.”
Creation Units
TABLE OF CONTENTS
HORIZON
KINETICS ETFs
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2025(Continued)
are
to be issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a
balancing cash amount, unless determined otherwise at the discretion of the
Adviser. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less
than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Market
prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The NAV is determined as
of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE
is open for trading. The NAV of the shares of each Fund will be equal to the
Fund’s total assets minus the Fund’s total liabilities divided by the total
number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the
nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of Creation Units,
the NAV will be calculated to four decimal places.
Creation
Unit Transaction Fee − Authorized Participants
may be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (the “Creation Unit Transaction
Fee”) in connection with the issuance or redemption of Creation Units. The
standard Creation Unit Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number
of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable business day. The
Creation Unit Transaction Fee charged by each Fund for each creation order is
$300.
An
additional variable fee of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation
Units subject to the transaction may be imposed for (1) creations effected
outside the Clearing Process and (2) creations made in an all cash amount (to
offset the Trust’s brokerage and other transaction costs associated with using
cash to purchase the requisite Deposit Securities). Investors are responsible
for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the Deposit Securities
to the account of the Trust. Each Fund may determine to not charge a variable
fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that doing so is in the
best interests of Fund shareholders. Variable fees, if any, received by the
Funds are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions section on the Statements
of Changes in Net Assets.
Only
“Authorized Participants” may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds.
An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in
the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National
Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case,
must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail
investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to
buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or
redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will
purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will
be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Securities received or
delivered in connection with in-kind creates and redeems are valued as of the
close of business on the effective date of the creation or redemption.
A
Creation Unit will generally not be issued until the transfer of good title of
the deposit securities to the Funds and the payment of any cash amounts have
been completed. To the extent contemplated by the applicable participant
agreement, Creation Units of the Funds will be issued to such authorized
participant notwithstanding the fact that the Funds’ deposits have not been
received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the authorized
participant to deliver the missing deposit securities as soon as possible. If
the Funds or its agents do not receive all of the deposit securities, or the
required cash amounts, by such time, then the order may be deemed rejected and
the authorized participant shall be liable to the Fund for losses, if any.

U.S.
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent
differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These
reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The permanent
differences primarily relate to redemptions in-kind, prior year true ups, and
taxable overdistributions. For the fiscal period ended December 31, 2025, the
following reclassifications were made for permanent tax differences on the

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Funds realized net capital gains
resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares
for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such gains are
not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have
been reclassified from total distributable earnings (accumulated losses) to paid
in-capital. The amount of realized gains and losses from in-kind redemptions
included in realized gain/(loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations
is as follows:

SECURITIES LENDING
The
Funds may lend domestic and foreign securities in its portfolio to approved
brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of
participation in a securities lending program, which is administered by the
Custodian. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are initially
collateralized in an amount equal to at least 105% of the then current market
value of any loaned securities that are foreign securities, or 102% of the then
current market value of any other loaned securities. The custodian performs on a
daily basis marking to market loaned securities and collateral. Each borrower is
required, if necessary, to deliver additional collateral so that the total
collateral held in the account for all loans of the Funds to the borrower will
equal at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. The cash
collateral is invested by the Custodian in accordance with approved investment
guidelines. Those guidelines allow the cash collateral to be invested in readily
marketable, high quality, short-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the
United States Government; however, such investments are subject to risk of
payment delays, declines in the value of collateral provided, default on the
part of the issuer or counterparty, or otherwise may not generate sufficient
interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The Funds
could also experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of
income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities,
although the Funds are indemnified from this risk by contract with the
securities lending agent. Additionally, the Funds are subject to the risk of
loss from investments that it makes with the cash received as collateral. The
Funds manage credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in
appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and
collateral agreements with third-party borrowers that provide the Fund, in the
event of default (such as bankruptcy or a borrower’s failure to pay or perform),
the right to net a third-party borrower’s rights and obligations under such
agreement and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed by
the counterparty.
The
collateral invested in the Funds, if any, is reflected in each Fund’s Schedule
of Investments and is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities in
the line item labeled “Cash – money market deposit account.” A liability of
equal value to the cash collateral received and subsequently invested in the
Funds is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Payable upon
return of collateral on securities loaned.” During the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2025, the Funds loaned securities and received cash collateral for
the loans, which was invested in the U.S. Bank Money Market Deposit Account. The
Funds receive compensation in the form of loan fees owed by borrowers and income
earned on collateral investments and pays a fee to the Custodian for
administering the securities lending program. The net amount of interest earned,
after the interest rebate and the allocation to the Custodian, is included in
the Statements of Operations as “Securities lending income, net.” The Funds
continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned
during the borrowing period.

PRINCIPAL RISKS
As
with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their
investment could lose money. Each Fund is subject to the principal risks, any of
which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return
and ability to meet its investment objective.
A
complete description of principal risks is included in the prospectus under the
heading “Principal Investment Risks”.

OPERATING SEGMENTS
Management
has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect to the financial
statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the
Funds. Each Fund operates as a single segment entity. Each Fund’s income,
expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the
Portfolio Managers, who serve as the chief operating decision maker, using the
information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
10.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In
preparing these financial statements, management of the Funds has evaluated
events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date
the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there were
no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements.

auditors whose report dated March 1, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion
on those financial highlights.
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
HORIZON
KINETICS ETFs
REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM(Continued)
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers; 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.

At meetings held on December 2, 2025 (the
“Pre-Meeting”) and December 10-11, 2025 (the “Regular Meeting” and together
with the Pre-Meeting, the “Meetings”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of
Listed Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including those trustees who are not
“interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the following
agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”):
|
• |
the
approval of the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the
“Advisory Agreement”) between Kinetics Asset Management LLC (the
“Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of Horizon Kinetics Inflation
Beneficiaries ETF, Horizon Kinetics Blockchain Development ETF, Horizon
Kinetics Energy and Remediation ETF, Horizon Kinetics Medical ETF, and
Horizon Kinetics SPAC Active ETF (each, a “Fund” and together, the
“Funds”); and |
|
• |
the
approval of the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the
“Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together with the Advisory Agreement, the
“Agreements”) between the Adviser, the Trust, on behalf of Horizon
Kinetics SPAC Active ETF, and Ryan Heritage, LLP (the “Sub-Adviser”).
|
Pursuant
to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the continuation of the Agreements after
their initial two-year term must be approved annually by: (i) the vote of the
Board or shareholders of each Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the
Independent Trustees, cast at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval. As discussed in greater detail below, in preparation for the Meetings,
the Board requested from, and reviewed responsive information provided by, the
Adviser and Sub-Adviser.
In
addition to the written materials provided to the Board in advance of the
Meetings, during the Regular Meeting representatives from the Adviser and the
Sub-Adviser provided the Board with an overview of their advisory business,
including their investment personnel, financial resources, experience,
investment processes, and compliance program. The representatives discussed the
services provided to each Fund by the Adviser and, in the case of Horizon
Kinetics SPAC Active ETF, the Sub-Adviser, as well as each Fund’s fees and
information with respect to the Fund’s strategy and certain operational aspects
of the Fund. The Board considered the materials it received in advance of the
Meetings, including a memorandum from legal counsel to the Trust regarding the
responsibilities of the Board in considering the approval of the Agreements, and
information conveyed during the Adviser’s and the Sub-Adviser’s oral
presentations. The Board also considered the information it received throughout
the year about each Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board considered
the approval of the continuation of the Agreements for an additional one-year
term in light of this information. Throughout the process, the Board was
afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and request additional materials
from, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in
executive session with counsel to the Trust to further discuss the advisory and
sub-advisory arrangements and the Independent Trustees’ responsibilities
relating thereto.
At
the Regular Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, evaluated a number of factors, including, among other things: (i) the
nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the
Sub-Adviser; (ii) each Fund’s expenses and performance; (iii) the cost of
the services provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser and the
Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the applicable Funds;
(iv) comparative fee and expense data for each Fund and other investment
companies with similar investment objectives and strategies; (v) the extent to
which the advisory fee for each Fund reflects economies of scale shared with its
shareholders; (vi) any fall-out benefits derived by the Adviser and the
Sub-Adviser from the relationship with the applicable Fund; and (vii) other
factors the Board deemed relevant. In its deliberations, the Board considered
the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the advisory
and sub-advisory arrangements and renewal of the Agreements. In its
deliberations, the Board did not identify any single piece of information that
was paramount or controlling and the individual Trustees may have attributed
different weights to various factors.

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF CONTINUATION OF
ADVISORY AGREEMENTS & SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
December 31, 2025
(Unaudited)(Continued)
Approval of the Continuation of the Advisory
Agreement
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The
Board considered the scope of services provided under the Advisory Agreement,
noting that the Adviser expected to continue to provide substantially similar
investment management services to each Fund with respect to implementing its
investment program, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and
sale of portfolio securities, monitoring adherence to its investment
restrictions, overseeing the activities of the service providers, including the
Sub-Adviser in the case of the Horizon Kinetics SPAC Active ETF, monitoring
compliance with various policies and procedures with applicable securities
regulations, and monitoring the extent to which the Fund achieved its investment
objective as an actively managed fund. In considering the nature, extent, and
quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board considered the
quality of the Adviser’s compliance infrastructure and past and current reports
from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding her review of the
Adviser’s compliance infrastructure, as well as the Board’s experience with the
Adviser and the investment management services it has provided to each Fund. The
Board noted that it had received a copy of the Adviser’s registration on
Form ADV, as well as the response of the Adviser to a detailed series of
questions which requested, among other information, information about the
background and experience of the firm’s key personnel, the firm’s cybersecurity
policy, and the services provided by the Adviser. The Board also considered the
Adviser’s operational capabilities and resources and its experience in managing
investment portfolios, including the Funds.
Historical
Performance. The Board next considered each
Fund’s performance. The Board observed that information regarding each Fund’s
past performance for periods ended September 30, 2025 had been included in
the Materials. The Board noted that it had been provided with the Barrington
Report, which compared the performance results of each Fund with the returns of
a group of ETFs selected by Barrington Partners as most comparable to the Fund
(each, a “Peer Group”), as well as with funds in each Fund’s respective
Morningstar category (each, a “Category Peer Group”). Additionally, at the
Board’s request, the Adviser identified the funds the Adviser considered to be
each Fund’s most direct competitors (each, a “Selected Peer Group”) and provided
the Selected Peer Group’s performance results.
Horizon Kinetics Inflation Beneficiaries
ETF: The Board noted that, for each of the one-year and since-inception
periods, the Fund outperformed its broad-based benchmark, the S&P 500 Index,
but underperformed it for the three-year period. The Board also noted that, for
each of the one-year and three-year periods, the Fund outperformed the average
of its Peer Group and Category Peer Group.
Horizon Kinetics Blockchain Development
ETF: The Board noted that, for each of the one-year, three-year and since
inception periods, the Fund underperformed its broad-based benchmark, the
S&P 500 Index. The Board also noted that, for the one-year and three-year
periods, the Fund underperformed the average of its Peer Group and Category Peer
Group, as well as the funds in its Selected Peer Group. The Board considered the
Adviser’s explanation for the Fund’s underperformance relative to its peers, and
agreed to closely monitor the Fund’s performance going forward.
Horizon Kinetics Energy and Remediation
ETF: The Board noted that, for each of the one-year and since inception
periods, the Fund underperformed its broad-based benchmark, the S&P 500
Index. The Board also noted, however, that for the one-year period, the Fund
outperformed the average of its Peer Group and its Category Peer Group.
Horizon Kinetics Medical ETF: The
Board noted that, for each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception
periods, the Fund underperformed its broad-based benchmark, the S&P 500
Index. The Board also noted, however, that for each of the one-year and
five-year periods, the Fund outperformed the average of its Peer Group and
Category Peer Group, but for the three-year period, the Fund underperformed its
Peer Group and Category Peer Group. The Board also noted that for the ten-year
period, the Fund outperformed its Peer Group but underperformed its Category
Peer Group.
Horizon Kinetics SPAC Active ETF: The
Board noted that, for each of the one-year and since inception periods, the Fund
underperformed its broad-based benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The Board also
noted, however, that for the one-year period, the Fund outperformed the average
of its Peer Group and its Category Peer Group.
Cost
of Services Provided and Profitability. The
Board reviewed the management fee for each Fund, including in comparison to the
management fees of its respective Peer Group as provided in the Barrington
Report.
The
Board took into consideration that the Adviser charges a “unitary fee,” meaning
the Funds pay no expenses except for the fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the
Advisory Agreement, interest charges on any borrowings,

dividends
and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and
other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of
securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses,
accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution fees
and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board noted that the Adviser is
responsible for compensating each Fund’s other service providers and, with the
exception of the expenses noted above, paying each Fund’s other operating
expenses out of its own fee and resources. The Board also evaluated whether the
Adviser received any other compensation or fall-out benefits from its
relationship with the Funds, taking into account analyses of the Adviser’s
profitability with respect to each Fund.
Horizon Kinetics Inflation Beneficiaries
ETF: The Board noted that the management fee for the Fund was higher than
the average and median of its Peer Group.
Horizon Kinetics Blockchain Development
ETF: The Board noted that the management fee for the Fund was higher than
the average and median of its Peer Group, but within the range of funds in such
group. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance in comparison to its
management fee and agreed to continue to monitor the Fund closely.
Horizon Kinetics Energy and Remediation
ETF: The Board noted that the management fee for the Fund was higher than
the average and median of its Peer Group, but within the range of funds in such
group.
Horizon Kinetics Medical ETF: The
Board noted that the management fee for the Fund was higher than the average and
median of its Peer Group, but within the range of funds in such group.
Horizon Kinetics SPAC Active ETF: The
Board noted that the management fee for the Fund was slightly higher than the
average and median of its Peer Group, but within the range of funds in such
group.
The
Board accordingly noted that each Fund’s unitary fee is reasonable and
competitive with the fees of its respective peer funds.
Economies
of Scale. The Board determined that, based on
the amount and structure of each Fund’s unitary fee, any such economies of scale
would be shared with such Fund’s respective shareholders. The Board stated that
it would monitor fees as the Funds grow and consider whether fee breakpoints may
be warranted in the future.
Conclusion.
No single factor was determinative of the
Board’s decision to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement; rather,
the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to
it. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that
the terms of the Advisory Agreement, including the compensation payable under
the Advisory Agreement, are fair and reasonable with respect to each Fund. The
Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore determined
that the approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement was in the best
interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with
the Sub-Adviser
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The
Board considered the scope of services provided to the Horizon Kinetics SPAC
Active ETF under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that the Sub-Adviser would
continue to provide investment management services to the Fund. The Board
reviewed and considered the performance of the Sub-Adviser of its
responsibilities pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including
its responsibility for the day-to-day investment and reinvestment of the assets
of the Horizon Kinetics SPAC Active ETF consistent with its investment program,
executing portfolio security trades for purchases and redemptions of the Fund’s
shares, monitoring the portfolio for compliance with investment limitations and
policies, applicable compliance policies and procedures, and applicable law;
responsibility for periodic reporting to the Board, and implementation of Board
directives as they relate to the Fund.
In
considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser, the Board considered past and current reports of the Trust’s CCO
with respect to the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program and general responsiveness
of the Sub-Adviser. The Board noted that it had received a copy the
Sub-Adviser’s registration on Form ADV, as well as the response of the
Sub-Adviser to a detailed series of questions which requested, among other
information, information about the background and experience of the firm’s key
personnel, the firm’s cybersecurity policy, and the services provided by the
Sub-Adviser.

ADVISORY AGREEMENTS & SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)(Continued)
Historical
Performance. The Board noted that it had
received information regarding the Fund’s performance for various time periods
in the Materials and primarily considered the Fund’s performance for periods
ended September 30, 2025, as noted above.
Costs
of Services Provided and Economies of Scale.
The Board reviewed the sub-advisory fees paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser
for its services to the Fund. The Board considered that the fees paid to the
Sub-Adviser are paid by the Adviser and noted that the fees reflect arm’s-length
negotiations between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also took into
account analyses of the Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Fund.
The
Board expressed the view that the Sub-Adviser might realize economies of scale
in managing its applicable Fund as assets grow in size. Consequently, the Board
determined that it would continue to monitor the Fund’s sub-advisory fees as the
Fund grows to determine whether breakpoints might be necessary and if economies
of scale were being effectively shared with the Fund and its respective
shareholders.
Conclusion.
No single factor was identified by the Board as
determinative of its decision to approve the continuation of the Sub-Advisory
Agreement; rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix of
information available to it. Based on a consideration of all the factors in
their totality, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
determined that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the
compensation payable under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, are fair and reasonable
with respect to the Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the continuation of the
Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its
shareholders.
