3.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 Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. Each Fund prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and follows the significant accounting policies described below.

(a)Use of Estimates

Management makes certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(b)Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

(c)Security Valuation

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

Equity securities and exchange traded funds are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded. Securities regularly traded in an over-the-counter market are valued at the latest quoted sale price in such market or in the case of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), at the NYSE Official Closing Price. Such valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has designated Virtus Investment Advisers, LLC (“VIA”) with respect to each Fund (other than the Virtus AlphaSimplex Global Macro ETF and Virtus AlphaSimplex Managed Futures ETF) and Virtus Alternative Investment Advisers, LLC (“VAIA”) with respect to the Virtus AlphaSimplex Global Macro ETF and Virtus AlphaSimplex Managed Futures ETF (VIA and VAIA, each an “Adviser”) to serve as its valuation designee, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, to perform the fair value determinations relating to any of the Funds’ investments. References to the “Adviser” shall mean VIA or VAIA, as the case may be, with respect to the applicable Fund. Accordingly, if market quotations are not readily available, or if it is determined that a quotation of a security does not represent fair value, then the security is valued by the Adviser at fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Such valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, and current day trade information, as well as dealer-supplied prices. Pricing services generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Such valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Debt securities that are not widely traded, are illiquid, or are internally fair valued using procedures adopted by the Board are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Listed derivatives, such as futures, that are actively traded are valued at the last posted settlement price from the exchange where they are principally traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on their net asset value each business day and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

January 31, 2026 (unaudited)

(d)Fair Value Measurement

Accounting Standards Codification, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the 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 measurement. Under ASC 820, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. These inputs are summarized in the following hierarchy:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have 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 Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value each Fund’s investments at January 31, 2026, is disclosed at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

(e)Security Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities are calculated using specific identification. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Expenses and interest income are recognized on the accrual basis. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Each Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method.

(f)Expenses

Each Fund pays all of its expenses not assumed by its Sub-Adviser, if any, as defined in Note 3, or the Adviser. General Trust expenses that are allocated among and charged to the assets of the Funds are done so on a basis that the Board deems fair and equitable, which may be on a basis of relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and relative applicability to each Fund.

(g)Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP in the United States of America.

(h)When-issued Purchases and Forward Commitments (Delayed Delivery)

The Funds may engage in when-issued or forward commitment transactions. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis are also known as delayed delivery transactions. Delayed delivery transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell a security at a future date, ordinarily up to 90 days later. When-issued or forward commitments enable a Fund to lock in what is believed to be an attractive price or yield on a particular security for a period of time, regardless of future changes in interest rates. The Funds record when-issued and delayed delivery securities on the trade date. The Funds maintain collateral for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis begin earning interest on the settlement date.

(i)Loan Agreements

The Funds may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. Loan agreements are generally non-investment grade and often involve borrowers that are highly leveraged. The Funds may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Loan agreements are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The lender administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund’s investment in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When investing in loan participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan participation and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of

71

both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.

A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Loan agreements may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Direct indebtedness of emerging countries involves a risk that the government entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay the principal and interest when due.

The loan agreements have floating rate loan interests which generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), the prime rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. When a loan agreement is purchased, a Fund may pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, a Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a loan agreement. Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a loan agreement by a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid.

(j)Private Credit CLOs

CLOs are generally privately-issued securities, and are normally purchased pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Privately-issued securities typically may be resold only to qualified institutional buyers, in a privately negotiated transaction, to a limited number of purchasers, or in limited quantities after they have been held for a specified period of time and other conditions are met for an exemption from registration. Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such securities, especially under adverse market or economic conditions or in the event of adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer, a Fund may find it more difficult to sell such securities when it may be advisable to do so or it may be able to sell such securities only at prices lower than if such securities were more widely held and traded. At times, it also may be more difficult to determine the fair value of such securities for purposes of computing the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”) due to the absence of an active trading market. There can be no assurance that a privately-issued security previously deemed to be liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid for as long as it is held by the Fund, and its value may decline as a result. The risks of investing in CLOs include both the economic risks of the underlying loans, which are rated below investment grade (i.e., junk bonds), combined with the risks associated with the CLO structure governing the priority of payments. The degree of such risk will generally correspond to the specific tranche in which a Fund is invested.

There are certain risks inherent in investing in CLOs that provide exposure to private credit, in particular the risks of their underlying investments, which include liquidity risk, industry risk, foreign security risk, currency risk, valuation risk and credit risk. Private credit securities also carry risks associated with unclear ownership.

(k)Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Back Securities

Certain Funds may invest in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, which collectively are securities backed by mortgages, installment contracts, credit card receivables or other financial assets. Asset-backed securities represent interests in “pools” of assets in which payments of both interest and principal on the securities are made periodically, thus in effect “passing through” such payments made by the individual borrowers on the assets that underlie the securities, net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities. The average life of asset-backed securities varies with the maturities of the underlying instruments, and the average life of a mortgage-backed instrument, in particular, is likely to be less than the original maturity of the mortgage pools underlying the securities as a result of mortgage prepayments, where applicable. For this and other reasons, an asset-backed security’s stated maturity may be different, and the security’s total return may be difficult to predict precisely.

Mortgage-related securities are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, or issued by non-government entities, such as commercial banks and other private lenders. Mortgage-related securities represent ownership in “pools” of mortgage loans assembled for sale to investors by various government agencies, such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), and government-related organizations, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), as well as by non-government issuers such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers and private mortgage insurance companies.

Prepayments of principal of mortgage-related securities by mortgagors or mortgage foreclosures affect the average life of the mortgage-related securities in the Fund’s portfolio. Mortgage prepayments are affected by the level of interest rates and other factors, including general economic conditions and the underlying location and age of the mortgage. In periods of rising interest rates, the prepayment rate tends to decrease, lengthening the average life of a pool of mortgage-related securities. The longer the remaining maturity of a security the greater the effect of interest rate changes will be. Changes in the ability of an issuer to make payments of interest and principal and in the market’s perception of its creditworthiness also affect the market value of that issuer’s debt securities.

4.Derivative Financial Instruments and Transactions

Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to enable investors to understand how and why the Virtus AlphaSimplex Global Macro ETF and Virtus AlphaSimplex Managed Futures ETF use derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect each Fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are such disclosures and accounting policies for each specific type of derivative instrument used by each Fund.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase (long) or sell (short) a security at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to the “initial margin” requirements of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract expires or is closed, gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed is realized. This is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net realized gain (loss) on futures.”

During the period ended January 31, 2026, each Fund utilized futures to optimize performance by gaining exposure to broad markets or to hedge the risk of securities within the portfolio. The potential risks of doing so are that 1) the use of futures may result in larger losses or smaller gains than the use of more traditional investments, 2) the prices of futures and the price movements of the securities that the future is intended to simulate may not correlate well, 3) the Fund’s success in using futures will be dependent upon the sub adviser’s ability to correctly predict such price movements, 4) liquidity of futures can be adversely affected by market factors, and the prices of such securities may move in unexpected ways, and 5) if each Fund cannot close out a futures position, it may be compelled to continue to make daily cash payments to the broker to meet margin requirements, thus increasing transaction costs. Futures contracts outstanding at period end are listed after each Fund’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Cash deposited as margin is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Cash pledged as collateral for futures contracts, if any.

If during the term of the Sub-Advisory Agreement the Adviser later recaptures some or all of fees waived or expenses reimbursed by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser together, then the Adviser will pay to the Sub-Adviser 50% of the amount recaptured.

Principal Underwriter

Pursuant to the terms of a Distribution Agreement with the Trust, VP Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as the Funds’ principal underwriter. The Distributor receives compensation from the Adviser for the statutory underwriting services it provides to the Funds.

6.CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS

The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at net asset value in aggregate blocks of shares or multiples thereof called “Creation Units.” The Funds’ Creation Units may be issued and redeemed generally for cash or an in-kind deposit of securities held by the Funds. In each instance of cash creations or redemptions, the Trust may impose transaction fees based on transaction expenses related to the particular exchange that will be higher than the transaction fees associated with in-kind purchases or redemptions. Only “Authorized Participants” who have entered into contractual arrangements with the Distributor 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 the 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.

Authorized participants pay a fixed transaction fee of $500 to the shareholder servicing agent when purchasing and redeeming Creation Units of each Fund other than the the Virtus International Dividend ETF. For the Virtus International Dividend ETF, the authorized participants pay a fixed transaction fee of $750. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. In addition to the fixed transaction fee, the Funds may charge an additional variable fee to the extent a Fund permits or requires Authorized Participants to purchase Creation Units for cash, or otherwise substitute cash for any Deposit Security. Such cash-in-lieu fees are payable to a Fund and are charged to defray the transaction costs incurred by a Fund when buying Deposit Securities, and also to cover spreads and slippage costs and protect existing shareholders. Variable fees received by a Fund, if any, is disclosed in the shareholder transaction section of the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

7.FEDERAL INCOME TAX

Each Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. Virtus AlphaSimplex Global Macro ETF and Virtus AlphaSimplex Managed Futures ETF’s investment in each Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code. Therefore, each Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the respective Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of each Subsidiary cannot be deducted by its respectively Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements, and requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Interest and penalties related to income taxes would be recorded as income tax expense. Management of the Funds is required to analyze all open tax years (2023, 2024 and 2025), as defined by IRS statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of January 31, 2026, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Funds have no examination in progress and are 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. Certain Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments, a portion of which may be recoverable. Each Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

The Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. For the period ended January 31, 2026, the Funds had no accrued penalties or interest.

9.BORROWINGS

The Virtus Seix Senior Loan ETF (“Seix Fund”) and one other affiliated fund entered into a $125,000,000 unsecured syndicated line of credit agreement dated March 15, 2018, as amended, (“Seix Credit Agreement”), with two commercial banks. On March 8, 2024, the unsecured line of credit was renewed as a bilateral credit agreement with one of the commercial banks and the credit amount was reduced to $100,000,000. The Seix Credit Agreement allows the Seix Fund to borrow cash from the bank to manage large, unexpected redemptions and trade fails, up to a limit of one-fifth its total net assets. Each fund, that is a party to the Seix Credit Agreement, is individually, and not jointly, liable for its borrowings, if any. The lending bank could require repayment of outstanding borrowings upon certain circumstances such as an event of default. Unless renewed, the Seix Credit Agreement will terminate on March 5, 2027.

Under the Credit Agreement interest is charged at the higher of a SOFR or the Federal Funds Rate plus an additional percentage rate on the amount borrowed. Commitment fees are charged on the undrawn balance. Total commitment fees paid for the period ended January 31, 2026, are included in the “Interest expense and/or commitment fees” line on the Statements of Operations.

For the period ended January 31, 2026, the Seix Fund did not have outstanding borrowings.

10.INVESTMENT RISKS

As with any investment, an investment in a Fund could result in a loss or the performance of a Fund could be inferior to that of other investments. An investor should consider a Fund’s investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. Each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information contain this and other important information. Local, regional or global events such as war or military conflict, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s) to invest each Fund’s assets as intended.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

January 31, 2026 (unaudited)

Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation.

Since these markets are often small, they may be more likely to suffer sharp and frequent price changes or long-term price depression because of adverse publicity, investor perceptions or the actions of a few large investors. They may also have policies that restrict investment by foreigners, or that prevent foreign investors from withdrawing their money at will.

Certain emerging markets may also face other significant internal or external risks, including the risk of war and civil unrest. Each of these factors can affect the value and liquidity of the assets of a Fund. Failure to generate adequate earnings from foreign trade would make it difficult for an emerging market country to service foreign debt. Disruptions resulting from social and political factors may cause the securities markets of emerging market countries to close. If this were to occur, the liquidity and value of a Fund’s assets invested in corporate debt obligations of emerging market companies would decline.

The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact a Fund’s liquidity and performance.

Sanctions threatened or imposed may result in a decline in the value and liquidity of a Fund’s assets. The securities of a Fund may be deemed to have a zero value. A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Funds investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.

For all these reasons, investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. To the extent that a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a particular emerging market, the Fund will be more vulnerable to financial, economic, political and other developments in that country, and conditions that negatively impact that country will have a greater impact on the Fund as compared with a fund that does not have its holdings concentrated in a particular country.

11.CREDIT RISK

Junk Bonds or High Yield Securities: High yield securities are generally subject to greater levels of credit quality risk than investment grade securities. The retail secondary market for these “junk bonds” may be less liquid than that of higher-rated fixed income securities, and adverse conditions could make it difficult at times to sell these securities or could result in lower prices than higher-rated fixed income securities. These risks can reduce the value of a Fund’s shares and the income it earns.

13. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments enhance income tax disclosures by requiring greater disaggregation in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction, while removing certain disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact.

14. SEGMENT REPORTING

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting, established disclosure requirements relating to operating segments in financial statements. The Funds have adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to enhance reportable operating segment disclosure requirements. Operating segments are defined as components of a reporting entity about which separate financial information, including disclosures about income and expenses, is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess its performance. The Trust is organized as a series of Funds, each of which is structured as an investment company and represents a single operating segment. Subject to the oversight and, when applicable, approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, management of each Fund’s Adviser acts as the respective Fund’s CODM. The CODM monitors the Fund’s operating results as a whole, and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus based on its defined investment objective. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Fund’s financial statements. Adoption of the new standard impacted the Funds financial statement note disclosures only and did not affect any Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations.

15.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
