How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

During the past 6 months, the Chesapeake Growth Fund (the "Fund") delivered a positive return of 2.40% compared to 6.03% for the S&P 500® Index ("S&P 500®").

The Fund's return was positively influenced by our strategic allocation to the Information Technology, Communications, and Financials sectors of the S&P 500®, while at the same time hindered by our exposure to the Health Care, Consumer Staples, and Materials sectors. Top performing individual holdings included Alphabet, Inc. - Class C (GOOG), NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA), and Citigroup, Inc. (C), whereas performance was most negatively impacted by ServiceNow, Inc. (NOW), Gartner, Inc. (IT), and Netflix, Inc. (NFLX).

The Fund and the S&P 500® generated positive returns during the period, supported by resilient and accelerating earnings revision breadth, accommodative fiscal policy, and continued advances in artificial intelligence that drove meaningful revenue and productivity growth. These positive factors were partially offset by geopolitical uncertainty, a 60% increase in oil prices, and rising interest rates, with the 30-year Treasury yield climbing above 5%. We remain committed to our disciplined, fundamental investment approach, focusing on companies with durable competitive advantages, best in class management teams, identifiable growth catalysts, and attractive valuations.

We believe the Fund is well positioned to continue generating positive returns and look forward to updating shareholders at the end of fiscal year 2027.

The Chesapeake Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

The Chesapeake Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of The Chesapeake Investment Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services - Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies used in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Segment reporting - The management team of Gardner Lewis Asset Management, L.P. (the “Adviser”) acts as the Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the 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. The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance based on the operating results of the Fund, which is consistent with the results presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments, Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.

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. Management concludes there is no material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

Securities valuation - Securities that are traded on any stock exchange, including common stocks, are generally valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued at its last bid price. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Investments representing shares of money market funds and other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by such companies.

8

The Chesapeake Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

When using a quoted price and when the market for the security is considered active, the security will be classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy (see below). Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Fund’s normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined by the Advisor, as the Fund’s valuation designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (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. Fair value pricing may be used, for example, in situations where (i) a portfolio security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that security over an extended period of time; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; or (iii) trading of the portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Fund’s NAV calculation. A portfolio security’s “fair value” price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Fund’s normal pricing procedures.

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 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly; these inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment seeds, credit risks, 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 a Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and based on the best information available

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. 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.

9

The Chesapeake Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments based on the inputs used to value the investments as of April 30, 2026:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Common Stocks $ 41,917,687 $ - $ - $ 41,917,687
Money Market Funds 3,949,426 - - 3,949,426
Total $ 45,867,113 $ - $ - $ 45,867,113

Refer to the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a listing of the securities by sector and industry type. The Fund did not hold 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 six months ended April 30, 2026.

Share valuation - The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the Exchange is open for business. The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the total value of the Fund’s assets, minus liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share is equal to the NAV per share.

Investment transactions and investment income - Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Cost of investments sold is determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the security received. Interest income, if any, is accrued as earned and includes amortization of discounts and premiums.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized gains and unrealized appreciation as such income and/or gains are earned. Where available, the Fund will file for claims on foreign taxes withheld. Tax reclaims receivable, if any, are recorded based upon the Fund’s interpretation of country specific taxation of accrued income and interest income, which may be subject to change due to changes in country-specific tax regulations regarding amounts reclaimable or the Fund’s interpretation of country-specific taxation of dividend income and related amounts reclaimable.

Distributions to shareholders - Distributions arising from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP, and are

10

The Chesapeake Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

recorded on the ex-dividend date. During the six months ended April 30, 2026 and the year ended October 31, 2025, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders was long-term capital gains.

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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of change in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal income tax - The 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 Fund of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of its 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 the 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 following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of October 31, 2025:

Tax cost of investments $ 29,917,241
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 18,174,295
Gross unrealized depreciation (328,815 )
Net unrealized appreciation 17,845,480
Undistributed long-term capital gains 3,416,525
Accumulated capital and other losses (251,155 )
Distributable earnings $ 21,010,850

The federal tax cost, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of April 30, 2026 is as follows:

Tax cost of investments $ 28,481,269
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 17,923,837
Gross unrealized depreciation (537,993 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 17,385,844

The Chesapeake Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

The difference between the federal income tax cost of investments and the financial statement cost of investments is 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 due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions taken on federal income tax returns 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 and does not expect this to change over the next twelve months. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

3. Investment Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2026, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, amounted to $12,780,146 and $15,471,799, respectively.

4. Trustees and Officers

A Trustee and certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Advisor, and certain officers are affiliated with Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus”), the Fund’s administrator, transfer agent and fund accounting agent, and Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (“UFD”), the Fund’s principal underwriter.

Each Trustee of the Trust who is not affiliated with the Advisor (“Independent Trustee”) receives an annual retainer of $10,000. In addition, the Fund pays each Independent Trustee $600 for attendance at each Board meeting, either in person or by telephone, plus reimbursement of any travel and other expenses incurred in attending meetings.

5. Transactions with Related Parties

Investment Advisory Agreement

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor, the Advisor serves as the investment advisor to the Fund. For its services, the Fund pays the Advisor a management fee, which is computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

12

The Chesapeake Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

The Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust is an employee of the Advisor. The Fund reimburses the Advisor $60,000 annually for the services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust.

Administrator

Pursuant to servicing agreements between the Trust and Ultimus, Ultimus provides administrative, pricing, accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer agent services for the Fund. The Fund pays Ultimus fees in accordance with the agreements for such services. In addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses including, but not limited to, postage, supplies and certain costs related to the pricing of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

Distribution And Service Fees

The Trust has adopted a distribution plan, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Rule 12b-1 Plan”), pursuant to which the Fund may incur certain costs for distribution and/or shareholder servicing expenses not to exceed 0.25% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets. During the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Fund incurred $17,257 in distribution and service plan fees under the Rule 12b-1 Plan.

Distribution Agreement

Under the terms of a Distribution Agreement with the Trust, UFD provides distribution services to the Trust and serves as principal underwriter to the Fund. UFD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultimus. UFD receives compensation from the Fund for such services, which is paid pursuant to the Rule 12b-1 Plan discussed above.

Principal Holder of Fund Shares

A beneficial owner of 25% or more of a Fund’s outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That shareholder’s vote could have a more significant effect on matters presented at a shareholders’ meeting. As of April 30, 2026, no individual shareholders owned of record 25% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

6. Sector Risk

If the Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers in industries within a particular 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 net asset value per share. From time to time, a particular set of circumstances may affect this sector or companies within the 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 the Fund’s portfolio will be adversely affected. As of April 30, 2026, the Fund had 31.2% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Technology sector.

7. Contingencies and Commitments

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

8. Subsequent Events

The Fund is 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Fund is 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.
