Rule 30e-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, permits funds to transmit only one copy of a proxy statement, annual report or semi-annual report to shareholders (who need not be related) with the same residential, commercial or electronic address, provided that the shareholders have consented in writing and the reports are addressed either to each shareholder individually or to the shareholders as a group. This process is known as "householding" and is designed to reduce the duplicate copies of materials that shareholders receive and to lower printing and mailing costs for funds. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at (855) 273-7227 to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Fund receives notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request.

| (UNAUDITED) |
| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
1. Organization:
The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund III (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated December 4, 2013. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with 44 funds. The financial statements herein are those of the Strategas Macro Momentum ETF, Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF and Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF (each a "Fund" and together, the "Funds"). The investment objective of the Funds is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Each Fund is classified as a "diversified" investment company and operate as an exchange traded fund ("ETF"). Strategas Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. Vident Advisory, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as sub-adviser. Prior to July 14, 2023, Vident Investment Advisory, LLC ("VIA" or the "Prior Sub-Adviser") served as sub-adviser to Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF and Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF. Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF and Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF commenced operations on January 24, 2022. The Strategas Macro Momentum ETF commenced operations on April 3, 2024. The financial statements of the remaining funds of the Trust are presented separately. The assets of each fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the fund in which shares are held.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca (the "Exchange"), Inc. Market prices for the Fund shares ("Shares") may be different from their net asset value ("NAV"). The Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV only in a large specified number of Shares, called "Creation Units." Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and are presented in U.S. dollars which is the functional currency of the Fund. The Funds are each an investment company and therefore apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The following are significant accounting policies which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of assets and liabilities and disclosure 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 those estimates and such differences could be material.

Security Valuation - Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the "NASDAQ")), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on an exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time if a security's primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Prices for most securities held in the Fund are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Fund seeks to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the "Fair Value Procedures") established by the Adviser and approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the "valuation designee" to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the "Committee") of the Adviser.
Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, 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). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
23
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND III | STRATEGAS ASSET |
| MANAGEMENT | |
| JUNE 30, 2026 | |
| (UNAUDITED) |
| ● | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| ● | Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (includes quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, adjusted quoted prices on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board, etc. ); and |
| ● | Level 3 - Prices, inputs or proprietary modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
Federal Income Taxes - It is the Funds' intention to qualify as regulated investment companies for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely- than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management's conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., from commencement of operations, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

| MANAGEMENT | |

| (UNAUDITED) |
As of and during the period ended June 30, 2026, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Open tax years are subject to examination by tax authorities.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. The Funds or their agent files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover certain amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction's applicable laws, payment history and market convention.
Security Transactions and Investment Income - Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income and expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from settlement date and includes the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discount. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date.
Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") - With respect to the Funds, dividend income is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of any estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from estimated amounts.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. To the extent applicable, the Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the relevant Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.

Expenses - Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a particular fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a particular fund are apportioned among the funds of the Trust based on the number of funds and/or relative net assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Idle cash may be swept into various time deposit accounts and is classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts invested are available on the same business day.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Funds distribute their net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
Creation Units - The Funds issue and redeem Shares at NAV and only in large blocks of Shares (each block of Shares for a Fund is a Creation Unit of 10,000 Shares, or multiples thereof).
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain Authorized Participants. 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 Depository Trust Company (''DTC'') participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with SEI Investments Distribution Co. (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 when buying or selling Shares. If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee will be charged.
To the extent contemplated by an Authorized Participant Agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, by the time as set forth in the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant's delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the Authorized Participant Agreement. An Authorized Participant Agreement may permit the Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of the Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and Collateral Payable upon Return of Deposit Securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

Segment Reporting - Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07") as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Fund's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer act as the Fund's CODM. Each Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and each Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with each Fund's single investment objective which is executed by each Fund's portfolio managers. The financial information in the form of each Fund's schedule of investments, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance versus each Fund's comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for each Fund's single segment, is consistent with that presented within each Fund's financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities as "Total Assets" and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statements of Operations.
3. Transactions with Affiliates:
Certain officers of the Trust are also employees of SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the "Administrator"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor"). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust, other than the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") as described below, for serving as officers of the Trust.

| MANAGEMENT | |
| JUNE 30, 2026 | |
| (UNAUDITED) |
The services provided by the CCO and his staff are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust's Advisors and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO's services and fees have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board.
4. Administration, Distribution, Custodian and Transfer Agent Agreements:
The Funds and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement under which the Administrator provides administration services to the Funds. For these services, the Administrator is paid an asset based fee, which will vary depending on the number of share classes and the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the period ended June 30, 2026, the Adviser paid the administration expenses of the Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF and Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF pursuant to the unitary fee arrangement described in Note 5. For the period ended June 30, 2026, the Strategas Macro Momentum ETF paid $9,276 for such services.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") applicable to the Funds in accordance with the provisions of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which regulates circumstances under which an investment company may directly or indirectly bear expenses relating to the distribution of its shares.
Under the Plan, the Distributor or financial intermediaries may receive up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund as compensation for distribution and shareholder services. For the period ended June 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any fees for these services.
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. acts as custodian (the "Custodian") for the Funds. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds.
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust.
5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement:
The Adviser oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds, subject to the oversight of the Board. The Adviser also arranges for sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, distribution and all other services necessary for the Funds to operate. Further, the Adviser continuously reviews, supervises, and administers the Funds' investment program. In particular, the Adviser provides investment and operational oversight of the Sub-Adviser. The Board supervises the Adviser and establishes policies that the Adviser must follow in its day-to-day management activities. For its services to the Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF and Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF the Adviser is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.65% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. For its services to the Strategas Macro Momentum ETF the Adviser is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

Under the investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF and Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF, and the Adviser, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses incurred by each Fund except for the advisory fee, interest, 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 each Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Adviser, in turn, compensates the Sub-Adviser from the management fee it receives.
For the Strategas Macro Momentum ETF, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or to reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to keep Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (not including "excluded expenses") from exceeding 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Fund until April 30, 2027 (the "contractual expense limit"). In addition, the Adviser may recoup from the Fund all or a portion of its prior fee waivers or expense reimbursements made during the rolling three-year period preceding the date of the recoupment if at any point Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (not including excluded expenses) are below the contractual expense limit (i) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement and (ii) at the time of the recoupment. The agreement may be terminated: (i) by the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund III (the "Trust"), for any reason at any time; or (ii) by the Adviser, upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice to the Trust, effective as of the close of business on April 30, 2027. During the period ended June 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any recoupments. Recapture of previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses would be recognized as Recovery of Investment Advisory Fees previously waived in the Statements of Operations.

On September 26, 2023, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF and Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF. Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for trading portfolio securities for the Funds, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, pre- and post-trade compliance, and monitoring of Fund trading activity, subject to the oversight of the Adviser and the Board. The Sub-Advisory Agreement was amended and restated effective April 2, 2024 to include the Strategas Macro Momentum ETF as a fund to which investment sub-advisory services are performed.

| (UNAUDITED) |
For its services, the Sub-Adviser is entitled to a fee from the Adviser, which fee is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.07% based on the average daily net assets of the respective Fund for assets up to $250 million, 0.065% based on the average daily net assets of each Fund when assets exceed $250 million, and 0.06% based on the average daily net assets of each Fund when assets exceed $500 million, subject to a minimum annual fee of $35,000.
As part of an acquisition transaction that resulted in the change in control of VIA, the Sub-Adviser replaced the Prior Sub-Adviser to Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF and Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF, effective as of July 14, 2023. Prior to this date, the Prior Sub-Adviser served as subadvisor to Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF and Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement entered into between the Adviser and the Prior Sub-Adviser (the "Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement"). The terms and fees of the Sub-Advisory Agreement are the same as the terms and fees of the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement, except for the date.
There was no change in either Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF and Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF portfolio managers, investment objective, principal investment strategy, or investment policies in connection with the aforementioned acquisition transaction.

7. Federal Tax Information:
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

8. Concentration of Risks:
As with all management investment companies, a shareholder of a Fund is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Funds' NAV and ability to meet their investment objective.
Active Management Risk (All Funds) - The success of each Fund's strategy is dependent on the Adviser's ability and its stock selection process to correctly identify the Fund's investments. The portfolio securities selected by the Adviser may decline in value or not increase in value when the stock market in general is rising, in which case the Fund could experience losses regardless of the overall performance of the U.S. equity market.
Artificial Intelligence Risk (All Funds) - Issuers of investments increasingly use artificial intelligence (AI) systems in various aspects of their business operations, creating competitive market pressures to increase the development and use of AI systems. Failure to effectively develop or use AI systems may place an issuer at a competitive disadvantage. At the same time, AI systems present significant risks that could materially affect an issuer's business and financial performance. AI tools rely on complex models, large datasets, and evolving algorithms. AI tools are highly-useful but complex and fallible systems that can exhibit bias, hallucinations, deceptive behaviors and other flaws due to the construction of their underlying models and the composition of their training data, which can result in outputs that seem plausible but are in fact inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. The use of erroneous outputs can undermine customer trust and expose issuers to litigation, regulatory scrutiny, substantial remediation costs, and reputational harm.

| MANAGEMENT | |
| JUNE 30, 2026 | |
| (UNAUDITED) |
Business Development Companies ("BDCs") Risk (Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - Investments in closed-end funds that are BDCs may be subject to a high degree of risk. BDCs typically invest in small and medium-sized companies that may not have access to public equity markets for capital raising. As a result, a BDC's portfolio typically will include a substantial amount of securities purchased in private placements, and the portfolio may carry risks similar to those of a private equity or venture capital fund. Securities that are not publicly registered may be difficult to value and may be difficult to sell at a price representative of their intrinsic value.
Depositary Receipts Risk (Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - Investments in depositary receipts may be less liquid and more volatile than the underlying securities in their primary trading market. If a depositary receipt is denominated in a different currency than its underlying securities, the Fund will be subject to the currency risk of both the investment in the depositary receipt and the underlying security. Holders of depositary receipts may have limited or no rights to take action with respect to the underlying securities or to compel the issuer of the receipts to take action. The prices of depositary receipts may differ from the prices of securities upon which they are based.
Emerging Market Company Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - Investments in emerging market companies are considered speculative and subject to heightened risks in addition to the general risks of investing in foreign companies. Unlike more established markets, emerging markets may have governments that are less stable and economies that are less developed. Furthermore, future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization or creation of government monopolies. The Fund considers an emerging market company to be a company designated as from an emerging market country by the MSCI All Country World Index.
Equity Market Risk (All Funds) - The risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of equity securities will fluctuate in response to factors affecting a particular company, as well as broader market and economic conditions. Broad movements in financial markets may adversely affect the price of the Fund's investments, regardless of how well the companies in which the Fund invests perform. A variety of factors can lead to volatility in local, regional, or global markets, including regulatory events, inflation, interest rates, government defaults, government shutdowns, war, regional conflicts, acts of terrorism, social unrest, the imposition of tariffs, trade disputes, and substantial economic downturn or recessions. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund's performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund. Moreover, in the event of a company's bankruptcy, claims of certain creditors, including bondholders, will have priority over claims of common stockholders such as the Fund.

ETF Risks (All Funds) - The Funds are ETFs and, as a result of this structure, they are exposed to the following risks.
Trading Risk - Shares of the Fund may trade on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange") above or below their NAV. The NAV of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings. In addition, although the Fund's shares are currently listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in Fund shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares of the Fund inadvisable.
Limited Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Risk - Because the Funds are ETFs, only a limited number of institutional investors (known as "Authorized Participants") are authorized to purchase and redeem shares directly from the Fund. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Fund shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value and possibly face delisting: (i) Authorized Participants exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other Authorized Participants step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.
Foreign Company Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF and Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - Investing in foreign companies poses additional risks since political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. These risks will not necessarily affect the U.S. economy or similar issuers located in the United States. Securities of foreign companies may not be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and foreign companies are generally not subject to the same level of regulatory controls imposed on U.S. issuers and, as a consequence, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Income from foreign securities owned by the Fund may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce income received from the securities comprising the Fund's portfolio. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers and foreign markets and securities may be less liquid. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the Fund to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the Fund.

| (UNAUDITED) |
Foreign Currency Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF and Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - As a result of the Fund's investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies, the Fund will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, in which case the dollar value of an investment in the Fund would be adversely affected.
Geographic Focus Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - To the extent that it focuses its investments on a particular country or geographic region outside the U.S., the Fund may be more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries within that country or geographic region. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss than a fund holding more geographically diverse investments.
European Risk - The Fund may invest a higher percentage of its total assets in securities of issuers located in the European region. As a result, the Fund is more exposed to the economic and political risks of Europe and of the European countries in which it invests. Any adverse economic or political events in Europe may cause the Fund's investments to decline in value. The economies and markets of European countries are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one country in Europe can have an adverse impact on other European countries. Countries in Europe will be significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary controls of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union ("EU"). Changes in regulations on trade, decreasing imports or exports, changes in the exchange rate of the Euro, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and recessions among European countries may have a significant adverse effect on the economies of other European countries. In addition, one or more countries may abandon the Euro and/or withdraw from the EU, such as the United Kingdom's ("U.K.'s") formal exit on January 31, 2020, which could potentially have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund's investments. There is still considerable uncertainty relating to the potential consequences associated with the U.K.'s exit from the EU and the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine that has now passed its fourth anniversary.

Geopolitical Risk & Foreign Relations Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility due to a number of economic, political and other global macro factors. Some geopolitical risks are normal, while others are in a heightened state. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility due to a number of economic, political and other global macro factors, including elevated inflation levels, trade tensions, tariff arrangements and wars in Europe and in the Middle East. Geopolitical risks have increased as the U.S. has taken military action against Iran. Retaliatory acts against the U.S. or other Middle East countries could lead to a lengthy period of military engagement. In addition, the war between Ukraine and Russia is now passing its fourth anniversary, and relations between the U.S. and China and other countries are strained. The current U.S. administration has implemented policy changes which may contribute to market volatility. Domestically, inflation remains a concern as the price of many goods and services remains elevated compared to levels from a few years ago. In addition, the level of political discord remains high. The uncertain course of these various factors may have a significant negative impact on the global economy, may result in an elevated risk environment with increased volatility in asset prices, which could impact performance of the Fund's holdings.
Gold Risk (Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - Price movements in gold may fluctuate quickly and dramatically, have a historically low correlation with the returns of the stock and bond markets, and may not correlate to price movements in other asset classes. Some factors that impact the price of gold include, but are not limited to, overall market movements, changes in interest rates, changes in the global supply and demand for gold, the quantity of gold imports and exports, factors that impact gold production, such as drought, floods and weather conditions, technological advances in the processing and mining of gold, an increase in the hedging of precious metals, such as gold, and changes in economic and/or political conditions, including regulatory developments.
Inflation Risk (All Funds) - Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the value of the Fund's assets can decline. Measures of inflation have increased to levels not experienced in several decades. Uncertainty regarding the magnitude of interest rate increases, and the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility.
Information Security, Cybersecurity and Technology-Related Risk (All Funds) - As issuers and their service providers increasingly rely on digital technologies, such as the internet, cloud computing, and AI-enabled systems, they face heightened information security, cybersecurity, and other technology-related risks, including incidents that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of their systems, data, or technology infrastructure. Technology-related incidents may have a materially adverse impact on the issuer's performance and operations and can impede critical functions, compromise sensitive business and protected customer information, and may result in financial losses and increased compliance or operational expenses. Similar adverse consequences may arise from technology-related incidents affecting governmental authorities, regulatory bodies, financial market systems, exchanges, brokers-dealers, banks, insurance companies, custodians, or other market participants. Although issuers and their service providers may adopt measures designed to prevent or mitigate such incidents, there remains a possibility that certain risks may not be identified or fully addressed.

Investments in Investment Company Risk (Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - When the Fund invests in an investment company, including closed-end funds and ETFs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company's expenses. Further, while the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, the Fund may be subject to additional or different risks than if the Fund had invested directly in the underlying investments. For example, the lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its share price being more volatile than that of the underlying portfolio securities. Certain closed-end investment companies issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange at a premium or a discount to their net asset value ("NAV"). As a result, a closed-end fund's share price fluctuates based on what another investor is willing to pay rather than on the market value of the securities in the fund.
Large Capitalization Risk (All Funds) - The risk that larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies.
Liquidity Risk (All Funds) - The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Fund would like. The Fund may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.
Lobbying Focused Investments Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - The Adviser's investment process utilizes lobbying intensity as the primary input when selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio. The Adviser does not consider a company's traditional financial metrics when constructing the Fund's portfolio. A company's financial performance is determined by a number of factors, and the degree to which a company engages in lobbying activities may have little or no impact on whether the company performs well or poorly financially. Further, a company may be lobbying due to a threat to its operations created by proposed or anticipated regulations and if such lobbying efforts are unsuccessful and the regulations are adopted, the regulations could lead to increased operational costs or other effects causing underperformance. Companies with significant lobbying expenditures may underperform companies with lower lobbying expenditures. The Fund may forego some market opportunities available to funds that do not focus on securities of companies with significant lobbying activity, and therefore the Fund may underperform such other funds. Additionally, U.S. federal law imposes obligations on companies to disclose certain information on lobbying spend. If the law were to change in a manner so as to limit or eliminate such disclosures, it could have a material, negative impact on the Adviser's ability to gather information regarding corporate lobbying spend.

Macro-Momentum Investing Strategy Risk (Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - The Adviser selects securities for the Fund's portfolio pursuant to a macro momentum investment strategy. The value of the Fund may decline if, among other reasons, macro momentum strategy believed to be beneficial to the Fund does not develop as anticipated or maintain over time, securities selected for inclusion in the Fund's portfolio due to their security characteristics that the Adviser believes are most highly correlated to a macro momentum strategy do not perform as anticipated, the Adviser fails to identify or declines to include in the Fund's portfolio profitable companies that would have been beneficial to a macro momentum portfolio, or other investment strategies generally outperform a macro momentum strategy of investing based on a variety of factors.
Macro-Thematic Trend Investing Strategy Risk (Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF) - The Adviser selects securities for the Fund's portfolio pursuant to a macro-thematic trend investment strategy. The value of the Fund may decline if, among other reasons, macro-thematic trends believed to be beneficial to the Fund do not develop as anticipated or maintain over time, securities selected for inclusion in the Fund's portfolio due to their security characteristics that the Adviser believes are most highly correlated to a macro-thematic trend do not perform as anticipated, the Adviser fails to identify or declines to include in the Fund's portfolio profitable companies that would have been beneficial to a macro-thematic trend, or other investment strategies generally outperform macro-thematic trends investing based on a variety of factors.
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) Risk (Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - MLPs are limited partnerships in which the ownership units are publicly traded. MLPs often own several properties or businesses (or own interests) that are related to oil and gas industries or other natural resources, but they also may finance other projects. To the extent that an MLP's interests are all in a particular industry, the MLP will be negatively impacted by economic events adversely impacting that industry. Additional risks of investing in a MLP also include those involved in investing in a partnership as opposed to a corporation, such as limited control of management, limited voting rights and tax risks. MLPs may be subject to state taxation in certain jurisdictions, which will have the effect of reducing the amount of income paid by the MLP to its investors.

Methodology Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - The Adviser's methodology to determine a company's "lobbying intensity" is derived from publicly available lobbying data filed and disclosed pursuant to the LDA. To the extent that a company fraudulently or accidentally reports incorrect lobbying expenditures, such data may affect the Adviser's methodology and cause securities of a company to be included in or excluded from the Fund's portfolio when such securities otherwise would have been excluded or included, respectively. Further, there may be ways to influence legislation or public policy that may not be legally classified as "lobbying" or reported as such pursuant to the LDA. Additionally, the LDA only covers U.S. federal lobbying and does not include state or local lobbying or the lobbying of foreign governments. To the extent that the data disclosed pursuant to the LDA does not fully capture all lobbying expenditures or is otherwise incomplete, the Adviser's methodology may be affected and result in securities of companies being included or excluded in the portfolio of the Fund that otherwise may have been excluded or included, respectively. The exclusion or inclusion of such securities may negatively affect the value of the Fund's portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover Risk (All Funds) - Due to its investment strategy, a Fund may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains tax liabilities, which may affect a Fund's performance.
REITs Risk (Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - REITs are pooled investment vehicles that own, and usually operate, income-producing real estate. REITs are susceptible to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, such as the following: declines in property values; increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition; overbuilding; zoning changes; and losses from casualty or condemnation. REITs typically incur fees that are separate from those of the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund's investments in REITs will result in the layering of expenses such that shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the REITs' operating expenses, in addition to paying Fund expenses. REIT operating expenses are not reflected in the fee table and example included in the Fund's most current prospectus.
Sector Focus Risk (All Funds) - Because the Funds may, from time to time, be more heavily invested in particular sectors, the value of their shares may be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect those sectors. As a result, each Fund's share price may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a mutual fund that invests in a broader range of sectors. The Funds' sector exposures may change over time, as macroeconomic, market, sector and company-specific conditions change.

Communication Services Sector Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - The Fund has significant exposure to securities of issuers in the communication services sector. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of issuers in the communication services sector will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the communication services sector. The communication services sector may be dominated by a small number of companies which may lead to additional volatility in the sector. Communication services companies are particularly vulnerable to the potential obsolescence of products and services due to technological advances and the innovation of competitors. Communication services companies may also be affected by other competitive pressures, such as pricing competition, as well as research and development costs, substantial capital requirements, and government regulation. Fluctuating domestic and international demand, shifting demographics, and often unpredictable changes in consumer demand can drastically affect a communication services company's profitability. Compliance with governmental regulations, delays or failure to receive regulatory approvals, or the enactment of new regulatory requirements may negatively affect the business of communication services companies. Certain companies in the communication services sector may be particular targets of network security breaches, hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information, or disruptions in services, which would have a material adverse effect on their businesses.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - The Fund has significant exposure to securities of issuers in the consumer discretionary sector. The manufacturing segment of the consumer discretionary sector includes automotive, household durable goods, leisure equipment and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, media production and services, and consumer retailing and services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the consumer discretionary sector. Many companies in the manufacturing segment rely on foreign nations for sourcing of raw materials and/or final goods. Changes in tariff rates imposed by the U.S., or addition of new trade barriers, could create additional costs or uncertainty. Additionally, U.S. imposition of tariffs could create retaliatory actions abroad which negatively impact multinational companies' non-U.S. customer basis. The performance of companies operating in the consumer discretionary sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, tax cuts or hikes on individuals, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the consumer discretionary sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.

Healthcare Sector Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - The Fund has significant exposure to securities of issuers in the healthcare sector. Companies in the healthcare sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines, tariffs and trade barriers, and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the healthcare sector can also be significantly affected by product liability claims, rapid obsolescence of products or services, and patent expirations, as well as government approval of products and services.
Industrials Sector Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - The Fund has significant exposure to securities of issuers in the industrials sector. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of issuers in the industrials sector will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the industrials sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the industrials sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar, import controls, worldwide competition, tariffs and trade barriers, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices.
Information Technology Sector Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - The Fund has significant exposure to securities of issuers in the information technology sector. The information technology sector has been among the most volatile sectors of the stock market. Because the Fund's investments are significantly exposed to companies in the information technology sector, its performance will be significantly affected by developments in that sector. The information technology sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals, electronic equipment and related instruments and semiconductors. Companies in the information technology sector involve greater risk because their revenue and/or earnings tend to be less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing significant losses) and their share prices tend to be more volatile. Certain companies in the information technology sector may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, or may depend on a limited management group. Companies within the information technology sector may rely on foreign countries for sourcing of components or materials for products, as well as manufacture of finished goods. As such, changes in trade relationships between the U.S. and foreign countries may impact these companies in the form of higher costs, reduced market access, and higher uncertainty. In addition, these companies are strongly affected by worldwide technological developments, and their products and services may not be economically successful or may quickly become outdated. Investor perception may play a greater role in determining the day-to-day value of information technology stocks than it does in other sectors. Fund investments may decline dramatically in value if anticipated products or services are delayed or cancelled. The risks associated with companies in the information technology sector are magnified in the case of small-cap technology companies.

Shareholder Concentration Risk (All Funds) - A large percentage of each Fund's shares are held by a small number of shareholders, including persons and entities related to the Adviser. A large redemption by one or more of these shareholders could materially increase a Fund's transaction costs, which would negatively impact the Fund's performance and could cause adverse tax consequences for the remaining shareholders of the Fund.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies Risk (All Funds) - The risk that small and medium capitalization companies in which the Fund may invest may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.
Tax Risk (Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - Income from certain ETPs that invest in commodities and other non-security based asset classes, as well as direct investments in such alternative asset classes such as gold, may not be qualifying income for purposes of the qualifying income test that must be met by the Fund in order to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Fund will seek to restrict its income from direct investments in such alternative investments that do not generate qualifying income to a maximum of 10% of its gross income (when combined with its other investments that produce non-qualifying income) to comply with certain qualifying income tests necessary for the Fund to qualify as a RIC under the Code. However, there is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in this regard. If the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC and to avail itself of certain relief provisions, it would be subject to tax at the regular corporate rate without any deduction for distributions to shareholders, and its distributions would generally be taxable as dividends. Please see the Fund's Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI") for a more detailed discussion, including the availability of certain relief provisions for certain failures by the Fund to qualify as a RIC. The tax treatment of certain commodity investments and other non-security based instruments may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions. The Fund's pursuit of its investment objective will potentially be limited by the Fund's intention to qualify for treatment as a RIC. The Fund can make certain investments, the treatment of which is unclear under the Code and could adversely affect the Fund's ability to qualify as a RIC.

U.S. Fiscal Risk (Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF) - As discussed in the Fund's most current Prospectus, the U.S. federal government is running fiscal deficits as a percentage of GDP above historical averages. The U.S.' debt to GDP ratio is also elevated. Efforts by the administration to improve the U.S.' fiscal state via reducing spending or increasing revenue could impact certain holdings of the Fund as well as the overall economy of the U.S. Additionally, failure for the U.S. to improve its fiscal state or take necessary actions such as raising the federal debt ceiling could result in U.S. debt being downgraded, which could have follow-on ramifications for the U.S. economy and investing environment. Certain companies held by the Fund rely on the U.S. as a customer and may be negatively impacted by any reductions in available spending or failure by the U.S. to pay its contractors and vendors for their services.
U.S. Government Securities Risk (Strategas Macro Momentum ETF) - Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources. Therefore, such obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
Valuation Risk (All Funds) - The risk that a security may be difficult to value. A Fund may value certain securities at a price higher than the price at which they can be sold. This risk may be especially pronounced for investments that are illiquid or may become illiquid.
Please also refer to the Funds' Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information for more comprehensive descriptions of the risk factors affecting shareholder investments in the Funds.
9. Other:
At June 30, 2026, all shares issued by the Funds were in Creation Unit aggregations to Authorized Participants through primary market transactions (e.g., transactions directly with the Fund). However, the individual shares that make up those Creation Units are traded on the Exchange (e.g., secondary market transactions). Some of those individual shares have been bought and sold by persons that are not Authorized Participants. Each Authorized Participant has entered into an agreement with the Funds' Distributor.
