Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Additional Information
December 31, 2025
Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting www.agf.com/us/products/btal/index.jsp. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
Risks: There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The value of an investment in the Fund may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may utilize derivatives and, as a result, the Fund could lose more than the amount it invests. For further risk information on each Fund, please read the prospectus.
AGF U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund (BTAL)(AGF ETF) specific risks: The Fund invests in securities based on a single investment factor and is designed to be used as part of broader asset allocation strategies. There is a risk that during a ''bull'' market, when most equity securities and long only Exchange Traded Funds (''ETFs'') are increasing in value, the Fund's short positions will likely cause the Fund to underperform the overall U.S. equity market and such ETFs. If the Fund sells a stock short and subsequently has to buy the security back at a higher price, the Fund will realize a loss on the transaction. The amount the Fund could lose on a short sale is potentially unlimited because there is no limit on the price a shorted security might attain (as compared to a long position, where the maximum loss is the amount invested). There is a risk that the present and future volatility of a security, relative to the market index, will not be the same as it has historically been and thus that the Fund will not be invested in the less volatile securities in the universe. Derivatives, including swap agreements and futures contracts, may involve risks different from, or greater than, those associated with more traditional investments. As a result of investing in derivatives, the Fund could lose more than the amount it invests, and can be subject to increased market risk.
Shares of the AGF ETF are bought and sold at market price (not net assets value ("NAV"), as defined below) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market Price (as defined below) returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 PM Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Fund returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Some performance results reflect expense subsidies and waivers in effect during certain periods shown. Absent these waivers, results would have been less favorable.
Betais a measure of an asset's sensitivity to an underlying index. Longis purchasing a stock with the expectation that it is going to rise in value. Shortis selling stock with the expectation of profiting by buying it back later at a lower price. Spread Returnis the return earned between the long and short portfolios within the ETF. One cannot invest directly in an index.
Shares are not individually redeemable and can be redeemed only in Creation Units, and the purchase and sale price of individual Shares trading on an Exchange may be below, at, or above the most recently calculated NAV for such Shares.

AGF U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund invests in certain securities long and certain securities short, and the performance of the Fund depends on the difference in the rates of return (i.e., the spread return) between the long positions and the short positions. If the long positions appreciate more or decline less than the short positions, then the Fund will generate a positive return. If the long positions appreciate less or decline more than the short positions, however, the Fund will generate a negative return.

(1)Agreements may be terminated at will by either party without penalty. Payment is due at termination/maturity.
(2)Reflects the floating financing rate (based on the U.S. effective federal funds rate), as of December 31, 2025, on the notional amount of the swap agreement paid to the counterparty or received from the counterparty, excluding any commissions. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the agreement or periodically during its term.
(3)The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at year end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or ''net'' these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(4)Represents the ''uncollateralized'' amount due from or (to) the counterparty at year end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum ''thresholds'' that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from the counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default.
(5)The Dow Jones U.S. Low Beta Total Return Index (DJTLABT) is designed to measure the performance of 200 companies ranked as having the lowest beta. Beta is calculated using weekly returns for the previous 52 weeks. Dividends are reinvested. The 50 largest components of DJTLABT can be found on the following page.
(6)The Dow Jones U.S. High Beta Total Return Index (DJTSABT) is designed to measure the performance of 200 companies ranked as having the highest beta. Beta is calculated using weekly returns for the previous 52 weeks. Dividends are reinvested. The 50 largest components of DJTSABT can be found on the following page.
(7)Reflects all or a portion of the amount disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as "Segregated cash balance with custodian for swap agreements." Under U.S. GAAP, the amount disclosed under this caption may not exceed the amount of the liability being collateralized for the benefit of the counterparty.

AGF Investments Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2025
1. Organization
AGF Investments Trust (the ''Trust''), a Delaware statutory trust, was formed on November 19, 2009. The Trust consists of the AGF U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund, (the "Fund"). AGF Investments LLC (the "Adviser") is the investment adviser to the Fund. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide a consistent negative beta exposure to the U.S equity market. The Fund will invest primarily in long positions in low beta U.S equities and short positions in high beta U.S equities on a dollar neutral basis, within sectors. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund is classified as a "diversified" Fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund, which is an investment company, 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 significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
Investment Valuation
The NAV of the Fund's shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (''NYSE''), generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. NAV per share is computed by dividing the Fund's net assets (i.e. total assets, less liabilities) by the number of shares it has outstanding.
The value of the Fund's securities is based on such securities' closing price on local markets when available. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below. If market quotations are not readily available, securities are priced at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust's and Adviser's valuation procedures. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees has designated the Adviser as "Valuation Designee" to perform fair value determinations with respect to all the investments of the Fund as well as to perform all the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee ("Committee") and may carry out its responsibilities as Valuation Designee with respect to the Fund through the Committee, pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Board. The Committee is responsible for, among other things, determining and monitoring the value of the Fund's assets and providing such information to the Adviser as Valuation Designee.
The Fund may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when the value of the Fund's security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of such security) or trading in such security has been suspended or halted. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. Securities of non-exchange traded and exchange traded investment companies are valued at their NAV and market value, respectively.
Generally, the Fund prices its swap agreements daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors (unless the underlying reference security is closed or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the quotations will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing source approved by the Trustees) and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements or reset dates, as appropriate.
14
AGF Investments Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2025
The Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund's (observable inputs) and (2) the Fund's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access.
•Level 2- Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
•Level 3- Significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a of the valuations as of December 31, 2025 for the Fund based upon the three levels defined above:

***The information in this table is based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. The uncertainties surrounding the valuation inputs for a derivative are likely to be more significant to the Fund's NAV than the uncertainties surrounding inputs for a non-derivative security with the same market value.
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs")
The Fund may invest in REITs. Equity REITs invest primarily in real property while mortgage REITs make construction, development and long term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the REIT, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment.
REITs are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers, self-liquidation and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax free income status under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and failing to be exempt from registration as a registered investment company under the 1940 Act.
15
AGF Investments Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2025
Distributions from REIT investments may be comprised of return of capital, capital gains and income. The actual character of amounts received during the year is not known until after the REIT's fiscal year end. The Fund records the character of distributions received from REITs during the year based on estimates available. The characterization of distributions received by the Fund may be subsequently revised based on information received from the REITs after their tax reporting periods have concluded.
Derivatives Regulatory Matters
Pursuant to Commodity Futures Trading Commission-imposed limitations on commodities trading by certain regulated entities, in order to qualify for an exclusion from registration and regulation as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"), the Fund may only use a de minimis amount of commodity interests (such as futures contracts, options on futures contracts and swaps) other than for bona fide hedging purposes (as defined by the CFTC). A de minimis amount is defined as an amount such that the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish these positions (after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such positions and excluding the amount by which options that are "in-the-money" at the time of purchase) may not exceed 5% of the Fund's NAV, or alternatively, the aggregate net notional value of those positions, determined at the time the most recent position was established, may not exceed 100% of the Fund's NAV (after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such positions). Because the Fund is expected to engage only in a de minimis amount of such transactions, the Adviser has claimed such an exclusion. Therefore, it is not subject to the registration requirements of the CEA.
The regulation of the derivatives markets has increased over the past several years, and additional future regulation of the derivatives markets may make derivatives more costly, may limit the availability or reduce the liquidity of derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives. Any such adverse future developments could impair the effectiveness or raise the costs of the Fund's derivative transactions, impede the employment of the Fund's derivatives strategies, or adversely affect the Fund's performance. For instance, in October 2020, the SEC adopted a final rule related to the use of derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies (the "derivatives rule"). Subject to certain exceptions, the derivatives rule requires the Fund to trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations subject to a value-at-risk ("VaR") leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless the Fund qualifies as a "limited derivatives users" exception that is included in the derivatives rule. Under the derivatives rule, when the Fund trades reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions, including certain tender option bonds, it needs to aggregate the amount of indebtedness associated with the reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions with the aggregate amount of any other senior securities representing indebtedness (e.g., bank borrowings, if applicable) when calculating the Fund's asset coverage ratio or treat all such transactions as derivatives transactions. In addition, under the derivatives rule, the Fund is permitted to invest in a security on a when-issued or forward-settling basis, or with a non-standard settlement cycle, and the transaction will be deemed not to involve a senior security under the Investment Company Act, provided that (i) the Fund intends to physically settle the transaction and (ii) the transaction will settle within 35 days of its trade date (the "Delayed-Settlement Securities Provision"). The Fund may otherwise engage in such transactions that do not meet the conditions of the Delayed-Settlement Securities Provision so long as the Fund treats any such transaction as a derivatives transaction for purposes of compliance with the derivatives rule. Furthermore, under the derivatives rule, the Fund will be permitted to enter into an unfunded commitment agreement, and such unfunded commitment agreement will not be subject to the asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act, if the Fund reasonably believes, at the time it enters into such agreement, that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet its obligations with respect to all such agreements as they come due. These requirements may limit the ability of the Fund to use derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions, and unfunded commitments as part of its investment strategies. These requirements may increase the cost of the Fund's investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect investors. The Adviser cannot predict the effects of these requirements on the Fund. The Adviser intends to monitor developments and seek to manage the Fund in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund's investment objective.

Short Sales
The Fund enters into short sales. A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security it does not own. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by borrowing the same security from another lender, purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement or paying the lender an amount equal to the cost of purchasing the security. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Untilthe security is replaced, the Fund is required to repay the lender any dividends it receives, or interest which accrues, during the period of the loan. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. The net proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, until the short position is closed out. The Fund also will incur transaction costs in effecting short sales.
The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund closes out the short sale. The Fund will realize a gain if the price of the security declines in price between those dates. The amount of any gain will be decreased, and the amount of any loss increased, by the amount of the premium, dividends or interest the Fund may be required to pay, if any, in connection with a short sale. Short sales may be subject to unlimited losses as the price of a security can rise infinitely.
The Fund is required to comply with the derivatives rule when it engages in short sales.
The expenses of the Fund, include Dividend, Interest and Brokerage Expenses for Short Positions because the Fund engages in short sales as a primary investment strategy. When the Fund engages in short sales, it will normally incur two types of expenses, each of which increases the Fund's expense ratio: borrowing expenses and dividend expenses.
Brokerage Expenses. When the Fund sells a security it does not own, it receives cash from the buyer, borrows the security from a lender for delivery to the buyer and invests the cash received, earning a return. However, the Fund is normally required to pay the lender a borrowing fee, which is calculated on a daily basis, based upon the market value of the borrowed stock and a variable rate that is dependent upon the availability of the stock. When the return earned by the Fund exceeds the borrowing fee, the net amount is recorded on the Fund's Statement of Operations as "Interest Income on securities sold short." Conversely, when the borrowing fee exceeds the return, the net amount is recorded as a "Borrowing expense on securities sold short" on the Fund's Statement of Operations.
Dividend Expenses.When the Fund sells a security short, it must pay the lender the amount of any dividends declared on the stock during the time the securities are on loan to the Fund. Having sold the borrowed stock, the Fund does not itself collect the dividends from the issuer. Thus, it incurs an expense that is recorded as a "Dividend on securities sold short" on the Fund's Statement of Operations. Such a dividend expense generally reduces the market value of the stock by the amount of the dividend declared, increasing the Fund's unrealized gain or reducing the Fund's unrealized loss on the stock sold short.
Swap Agreements
The Fund may enter into swap agreements. The Fund currently enters into equity or equity index swap agreements for purposes of attempting to gain exposure to an index or group of securities without actually purchasing those securities. Although some swap agreements may be exchange-traded, others are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a day to more than one year. Most, if not all, swap agreements entered into by the Fund will be two-party contracts. In connection with the Fund's positions in a swaps contract, the Fund will segregate liquid assets or will otherwise cover its position in accordance with applicable SEC requirements. In such a standard ''swap'' transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or ''swapped'' between the parties are calculated with respect to a ''notional amount,'' i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a ''basket'' of securities representing a particular index or group of securities. The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.
17
AGF Investments Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2025
The Fund may enter into swap agreements to invest in a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities in circumstances in which direct investment is restricted for legal reasons or is otherwise impracticable. The counterparty to any swap agreement will typically be a bank, investment banking firm or broker/dealer. On a long swap, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the Fund the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap agreement would have increased in value had it been invested in the particular stocks, plus the dividends that would have been received on those stocks.
The Fund agrees to pay to the counterparty a floating rate of interest on the notional amount of the swap agreement plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such stocks. Therefore, the return to the Fund on any swap agreement will generally be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the stocks less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount. As a trading technique, the Adviser may substitute physical securities with a swap agreement having risk characteristics substantially similar to the underlying securities.
Swap agreements typically are settled on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Payments may be made at the conclusion of a swap agreement or periodically during its term. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to swap agreements is limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults, the Fund's risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that such Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. In as much as these transactions are entered into for hedging purposes or are offset by cash or liquid assets identified on the Fund's books to cover its exposure, the Fund and the Adviser believe that these transactions will not constitute senior securities within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and will not be subject to the Fund's borrowing restrictions.
The swap market has grown substantially in recent periods with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid in comparison with the markets for other similar instruments which are traded in the OTC market. The Adviser, under the oversight of the Trustees, is responsible for determining and monitoring the liquidity of the Fund's transactions in swap agreements.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (''ISDA'') agreements with certain counterparties for derivative transactions. These agreements contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations. Certain of the Fund's ISDA agreements contain provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund's NAV over specific periods of time, which may or may not be exclusive of redemptions. If the Fund triggers such provisions and has open derivative positions at that time, counterparties to the ISDA agreements could elect to terminate such ISDA agreements and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any, under the relevant ISDA agreement. Pursuant to the terms of its ISDA agreements, the Fund will have already collateralized its liability under such agreements, in some cases only in excess of certain threshold amounts.

Taxes and Distributions
The Fund intends to qualify (or continue to qualify) as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that the Fund distributes substantially all its taxable net investment income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax should be required. Management of the Fund is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of December 31, 2025. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Management of the Fund is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that the Fund does not have any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require a provision for income tax. Accordingly, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties for the period ended December 31, 2025.
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Net capital gains are distributed at least annually.
As of December 31, 2025, the gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments based on the aggregate cost of investments (including derivative contracts, if any) for federal income tax purposes was as follows:
|
Fund |
Federal income tax cost of investments, long positions |
Federal income tax proceeds of investments, short positions |

3. Investment Transactions and Related Income
Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are accounted for one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the
19
AGF Investments Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2025
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of any applicable foreign withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Foreign withholding taxes and foreign capital gains taxes, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund is presented separately on the Statement of Operations as ''Special Dividends'' and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
4. Investment Management Fees
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement ("Advisory Agreement"), the Adviser manages the investment and reinvestment of the Fund's assets and administers the affairs of the Fund under the oversight of the Board of Trustees. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a management fee for its services payable on a monthly basis at the annual rate of 0.45% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive the fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund until at least November 1, 2028, so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, dividend, interest and brokerage expenses for short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses ("AFFE"), and extraordinary expenses) ("Operating Expenses") are limited to 0.45% of average daily net assets for the Fund (the "Expense Cap"). In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees to the extent of any acquired fund fees and expenses incurred by the Fund that are attributable to the management fee paid to the Adviser (or an affiliated person of the Adviser) by an underlying fund in which the Fund invests. AFFE are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of share in other investment companies. Because AFFE are not direct expenses of the Fund, they are not reflected separately on the Fund's financial statements. This undertaking can only be changed with the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Fund.
For the period ended December 31, 2025, management fee waivers were $443,677.
The Fund has agreed that it will repay the Adviser for fees and expenses forgone or reimbursed for the Fund pursuant to the contractual expense limitation described above. Such repayment would increase the Fund's expenses and would appear on the Statement of Operations as "Repayment of prior expenses waived and/or reimbursed by the Adviser." However, repayment would only occur up to the point of the Fund's expense cap.
Any such repayment must be made within three years from the date the expense was borne by the Adviser. Any such repayment made under any prior expense cap cannot cause the Fund's Operating Expenses to exceed the lower of 0.45% of average daily net assets for the Fund, or the annual rate of daily net assets for the Fund under the terms of a prior expense cap. For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not repay expenses to the Adviser.
As of December 31, 2025, the amounts eligible for repayment and the associated period of expiration are as follows:

5. Administration, Accounting, Custodian and Transfer Agent Fees
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan") acts as administrator (the "Administrator"), fund accounting agent, transfer agent and custodian to the Fund. The Administrator provides the Fund with all required general administrative services, including, without limitation, office space, equipment, and personnel; clerical and general back office services; bookkeeping, internal accounting, and secretarial services; the determination of NAVs; and the preparation and filing of all reports, registration statements, proxy statements, and all other materials required to be filed or furnished by the Fund under federal and state securities laws. The Administrator pays all fees and expenses that are directly related to the services provided by the Administrator to the Fund; the Fund reimburses the Administrator for all fees and expenses incurred by the Administrator which are not directly related to the services the Administrator
20
AGF Investments Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2025
provides to the Fund under the service agreement. The Fund pays the Administrator for all fees and expenses incurred by the Administrator which are not directly related to the services the Administrator provides to the Fund under the service agreement. The Fund may also reimburse the Administrator for such out-of-pocket expenses as incurred by the Administrator in the performance of its duties. As custodian, JPMorgan holds cash, securities and other assets of the Fund as required by the 1940 Act. As compensation for the services, the Custodian is entitled to fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
6. Distribution and Fund Officers
Foreside Fund Services, LLC serves as the Fund's distributor (the ''Distributor''). The Trust has adopted a distribution and service plan (''Plan'') pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay distribution fees to the Distributor and other firms that provide distribution and shareholder services (''Service Providers''). If a Service Provider provides such services, the Fund may pay fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of its average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
No distribution or service fees are currently paid by the Fund and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees were charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in the Fund and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.
Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC (''FFOS''), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer as well as certain additional compliance support functions to the Fund. Foreside Management Services, LLC(''FMS''), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides a Principal Financial Officer and Treasurer to the Fund. Neither FFOS nor FMS have a role in determining the investment policies of the Trust or the Fund, or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Trust or the Fund.
7. Issuance and Redemption of Fund Shares
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund or ETF. Individual Fund shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer and investors may pay a commission to such broker-dealers in connection with its purchase or sale. The price of Fund shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). Information regarding how often the shares of the Fund traded on the Exchange at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV of the Fund for the most recently completed five fiscal years and the most recently completed calendar quarters can be found at www.agf.com/us. This information represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
The Fund will only issue or redeem shares aggregated into blocks of 50,000 shares or multiples thereof (''Creation Units'') to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund's Distributor. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a ''Participating Party,'' (i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process of the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC) (''Clearing Process''), or (2) a participant of DTC (''DTC Participant''), and, in each case, must have executed an agreement (''Participation Agreement'') with the distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units. The Fund will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a basket of assets that the Fund specify each day.
Shares are listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc.TMand are publicly traded. If you buy or sell Fund shares on the secondary market, you will pay or receive the market price, which may be higher or lower than NAV. Your transaction will be priced at NAV if you purchase or redeem Fund shares in Creation Units.
Authorized Participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Fund's Administrator to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Additionally, a portion of the transaction fee is used to offset transactional costs typically accrued in the Fund's custody expenses directly related to the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such fees would be included in the receivable for capital shares issued on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Transaction fees assessed during the period, which are included in the proceeds or cost from shares issued or redeemed on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the period ended December 31, 2025 was $203,942.

9. In-Kind Transactions
During the period presented in this report, the Fund delivered securities of the Fund in exchange for the redemption of shares (redemption-in-kind). Cash and securities were transferred for redemptions at fair value. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund recorded net realized gains and losses in connection with each transaction.
For the period ended December 31, 2025, the value of the securities transferred for redemptions, and the net realized gains recorded in connection with the transactions was $113,395,903 and $7,040,808 respectively.
During the period, the Fund received cash and securities in exchange for subscriptions of shares (subscriptions-in-kind). For the period ended December 31, 2025, the value of the securities received for subscriptions was $181,971,372.
10. Principal Investment Risks
This section discusses certain principal risks encountered by the Fund. The Fund may be subject to additional principal risks. A more complete description of the principal risks is included in the Fund's prospectus.
Single Factor Risk: The Fund invests in securities based on a single investment factor and is designed to be used as part of broader asset allocation strategies. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program. There is no guarantee that a stock that exhibited characteristics of a single factor in the past will exhibit that characteristic in the future.
Anti-Beta Risk:There is a risk that the present and future volatility of a security, relative to the market index, will not be the same as it has historically been and thus that the Fund will not be invested in the less volatile securities in the universe. In addition, the Fund may be more volatile than the universe since it will have short exposure to the most volatile stocks in the universe. Volatile stocks are subject to sharp swings in price.
Market Neutral Style Risk:During a "bull" market, when most equity securities and long-only equity ETFs are increasing in value, the Fund's short positions will likely cause the Fund to underperform the overall U.S. equity market and such ETFs. In addition, because the Fund employs a dollar-neutral strategy to achieve market neutrality, the beta of the Fund (i.e., the relative volatility of the Fund as compared to the market) will vary over time and may not be equal to zero.
Short Sale Risk: If the Fund sells a stock short and subsequently has to buy the security back at a higher price, the Fund will realize a loss on the transaction. The amount the Fund could lose on a short sale is potentially unlimited because there is no limit on the price a shorted security might attain (as compared to a long position, where the maximum loss is the amount invested). The use of short sales increases the exposure of the Fund to the market, and may increase losses and the volatility of returns. If the short portfolio (made up of the securities with the highest betas within each sector) outperforms the long portfolio (made up of the securities with the lowest betas within each sector), the performance of the Fund would be negatively affected. Short sales also may be subject to operational and legal risk. In addition, when the Fund is selling a stock short, it may maintain a segregated account of cash and/or liquid assets with its custodian to satisfy collateral requirements. As a result, the Fund may maintain high levels of cash or liquid assets and will not be fully invested.
Derivatives Risk:Derivatives, including swap agreements and futures contracts, may involve risks different from, or greater than, those associated with more traditional investments. As a result of investing in derivatives, the Fund could lose more than the amount it invests, and can be subject to increased market risk. Derivatives may be highly illiquid, and the Fund may not be able to close out or sell a derivative position at a particular time or at an anticipated price. Derivatives also may be subject to counterparty risk, which includes the risk that a loss may be
22
AGF Investments Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2025
sustained by the Fund as a result of the insolvency or bankruptcy of, or other noncompliance by, the other party to the transaction. Derivatives also may create risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments to counterparties and may be subject to operational and legal risk.
Equity Investing Risk:An investment in the Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund holding equity securities, such as market fluctuations. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally.
Market Risk:The value of the Fund's investments may fluctuate because of changes in the markets in which the Fund invests, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. Changes in these markets may be rapid and unpredictable. War and occupation, terrorism and related geopolitical risks, natural disasters, and public health emergencies, including an epidemic or pandemic, may lead to increased short term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output; result in market closures, changes in interest rates, inflation/deflation, travel restrictions or quarantines; and significantly adversely impact the economy. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. government, Federal Reserve and/or other government actors, such as changing interest rates or threatened or imposed tariffs, could cause increased volatility in financial markets. From time to time, markets may experience stress for potentially prolonged periods that may result in: (i) increased market volatility; (ii) reduced market liquidity; and (iii) increased redemptions. Such conditions may add significantly to the risk of volatility in the NAV of the Fund's shares.
Leverage Risk: The Fund's use of short selling and swap agreements allows the Fund to obtain investment exposures greater than its NAV by a significant amount, i.e., use leverage. Use of leverage tends to magnify increases or decreases in the Fund's returns and may lead to a more volatile share price. Leverage may magnify the Fund's gains or losses.
Cash Transactions Risk: The Fund may effect creations and redemptions partly or wholly for cash, rather than through in-kind distributions of securities. Accordingly, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distributeredemption proceeds and it may subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the Fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that primarily or wholly effects redemptions in-kind. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities markets are relatively illiquid at the time the Fund must sell securities and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in-kind, will be passed on to Authorized Participants in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. As a result of these factors, the spreads between the bid and the offered prices of the Fund's shares may be wider than those of shares of ETFs that primarily or wholly transact in-kind.
REIT Risk:Through its investments in REITs, the Fund will be subject to the risks of investing in the real estate market, including decreases in property values and revenues. Additionally, increases in interest rates may cause a decline in the value of REITs held by the Fund.
ETF Risks
Authorized Participants Concentration Risk:Only a member or participant of a clearing agency registered with the SEC, which has a written agreement with the Fund or one of its service providers that allows such member or participant to place orders for the purchase and redemption of Creation Units (as defined below) (an "Authorized Participant") may purchase and redeem Shares directly from the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of Authorized Participants. To the extent Authorized Participants cannot or are otherwise unwilling to engage in creation and redemption transactions with the Fund, shares of the Fund may trade like closed-end fund shares at a significant discount to NAV and may face trading halts and/ or delisting from the Exchange. Risk may be heightened for a fund that invests in securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes.
Premium/Discount and Bid/Ask Risk: Fund shares may trade at prices that are above or below NAV. The market prices of Fund shares will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Fund shares. Although market makers will generally take advantage of differences between the NAV and the trading price of Fund shares through arbitrage opportunities, there is no guarantee that they will do
23
AGF Investments Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2025
so. Decisions by market makers or Authorized Participants to reduce their role or "step away" from market making or creation/redemption activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying value of the Fund's portfolio securities and the Fund's market price. This reduced effectiveness could result in Fund shares trading at a discount to NAV and also in greater than normal intraday bid/ask spreads for Fund shares. Large bid/ask spreads may adversely impact the performance of an investment in the Fund.
Secondary Market Trading Risk:Investors buying or selling Fund shares in the secondary market may pay brokerage commissions or other charges, which may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Fund shares. Although the Fund's shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Fund shares on the Exchange may be halted.
11. Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Fund's organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Fund. Based on experience, the Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Fund in connection with the Fund's indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Fund.
12. Accounting Pronouncements and/or Regulatory Updates
The Fund has one reportable segment. Business activities are managed on a consolidated basis and revenues are derived primarily through Fund's investments in accordance with its investment objective. The Fund's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Principal Executive Officer of the Trust and Senior Vice President, Head of Quantitative Investing and Portfolio Manager at the Adviser. The CODM assesses performance based on a Fund's Total Return as reported in the Financial Highlights, and the same accounting policies are applied as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Fund's Total Return is utilized by the CODM to compare results, including the impact of the Fund's costs, to the Fund's competitors and to the Fund's benchmark index.
The Fund adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). Adoption of the new standard by the Fund impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or results of operations. A disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction is presented when significant income taxes are paid. Income taxes paid by the Fund for the period were determined to not be significant.
13. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
Management has determined that there are no other material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds' financial statements.
