OAKHURST STRATEGIC DEFINED RISK FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Series Portfolios Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated July 27, 2015. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Oakhurst Strategic Defined Risk Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The primary investment objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation while seeking to limit short-term risk. The Fund commenced operations on May 10, 2017. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The Fund does not hold itself out as related to any other series of the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor does it share the same investment adviser with any other series of the Trust.
The Fund offers two share classes, Institutional Class and Advisor Class. Institutional Class shares have no front end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. Advisor Class shares have a front end sales load of 5.75%, a deferred sales charge of 1.00%, and no redemption fee. Advisor Class shares are subject to a 0.25% distribution fee and a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.10% of average daily net assets. As of October 31, 2024, Advisor Class shares are not available. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a distribution fee, and are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.10% of average daily net assets.
The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Fund have equal rights and privileges except with respect to distribution fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single share class.
Effective May 20, 2019, the Fund changed its principal investment strategy. Under this new strategy, the Fund invests in a portfolio of equity securities of companies that are representative of the S&P 500® Index (the "Index") or exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that are designed to replicate the performance of the Index or whose holdings are representative of the Index. The Fund will simultaneously use options on ETFs in which the Fund may invest and will invest in U.S. Treasury securities to enhance the Fund's potential returns during up markets while seeking to limit losses during down markets. The performance of the Fund is not intended to match the performance of the Index.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").
|
A.
|
Investment Valuation - The following is a summary of the Fund's pricing procedures. It is intended to be a general discussion and may not necessarily reflect all the pricing procedures followed by the Fund. Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and real estate investment trusts ("REITS") that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global Select Market® and the Nasdaq Capital Market® exchanges (collectively "Nasdaq"), are valued at the last reported sale price on that exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). If, on a particular day, an exchange traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchanged traded equity security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
|
Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds) are typically valued at their reported net asset value ("NAV") per share. To the extent these securities are valued at their NAV per share, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Exchange traded funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded fund does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quote bid and asked prices will be used. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Exchange traded options are valued at the composite mean price, which calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask prices across the exchanges where the options are principally traded. If the composite mean price is not available, last sale or settlement price may be used. For non-exchange traded options, models such as Black- Scholes can be used to value the options. On the last trading day prior to expiration, expiring options may be priced at intrinsic value. These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fixed income securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity less than 60 days, are valued at the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved independent third-party pricing service ("Pricing Service"). These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Fund and its Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating the Fund's NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has designated Lido Advisers, LLC (the "Adviser") as its "Valuation Designee" to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of the portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation Levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
|
Level 1 -
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
|
|
Level 2 -
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
|
Level 3 -
|
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's securities by Level within the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2024:

As of the period ended October 31, 2024, the Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities, nor were there any transfers into or out of Level 3. Refer to the Fund's Schedule of Investments for further information on the classification of investments.
|
B.
|
Transactions with Brokers - The Fund's written options contracts' cash deposits are monitored daily by the Adviser and counterparty. Cash deposits by the Fund are presented as deposits at broker for written option contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These transactions may involve market risk in excess of the assets or liabilities reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
|
|
C.
|
Written Option Contracts - The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund will write call or put options. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will write or purchase options on ETFs that are designed to replicate the performance of the Index or whose holdings are representative of the Index. The use of options may give rise to leverage. Leverage is investment exposure which exceeds the initial amount invested. Leverage can cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. When a Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently priced daily to reflect the current value of the option written. Refer to Note 2 A. for a pricing description. By writing an option, a Fund may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the amounts receivable or payable reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to Note 2 M. for further derivative disclosures and Note 2 J. for further counterparty risk disclosure.
|
When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes gains or losses if the cost of the closing purchase transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold without regard to any unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying security, and the liability related to such an option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the security and the Fund realizes gains or losses from the sale of the underlying security. When a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium received for the put.
|
D.
|
Purchased Option Contracts - The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund will purchase call or put options. In connection with the Fund's written option contracts, the Fund will simultaneously use options on ETFs. When the Fund purchases an option contract, an amount equal to the premiums paid is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Investments at value, and is subsequently priced daily to reflect the value of the purchased option contract. Refer to Note 2 A. for a pricing description. Refer to Note 2 M. for further derivative disclosures and Note 2 J. for further counterparty risk disclosure. When option contracts expire or are closed, realized gains or losses are recognized without regard to any unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying securities that may be held by the Fund. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, the premium paid for the put option increases the cost of the underlying security and a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security.
|
|
E.
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Fund considers highly liquid short-term fixed income investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are included in short- term investments on the Schedule of Investments as well as in investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Any temporary cash overdrafts by the Fund are reported as a payable to the custodian.

F.
|
Guarantees and Indemnifications - In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
|
|
G.
|
Security Transactions, Income and Expenses - The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and regulations. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method.
|
|
H.
|
Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses - Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of the Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most Fund expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. 12b-1 fees are expensed at 0.25% of average daily net assets of Advisor Class shares (See Note 5). Shareholder servicing fees are expensed at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of average daily net assets of each class of shares (See Note 5). Trust Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means.
|
|
I.
|
Share Valuation - The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund's shares will not be priced on days which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed for trading.
|
|
J.
|
Counterparty Risk - The Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor its obligations. The Adviser considers the credit worthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk. All of the Fund's written and purchased options are held with one counterparty. Written and purchased option contracts sold on an exchange have minimal counterparty risk; the exchange's clearinghouse guarantees the options against counterparty nonperformance. Over-the-counter options counterparty risk includes the risk of loss of the full amount of any net unrealized appreciation.
|
|
K.
|
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
L.
|
Statement of Cash Flows - Pursuant to the Cash Flows topic of the Codification, the Fund qualifies for an exemption from the requirement to provide a statement of cash flows and have elected not to provide a statement of cash flows.
|
|
M.
|
Derivatives - The Fund may utilize derivative instruments such as options and other instruments with similar characteristics to the extent that they are consistent with the Fund's respective investment objectives and limitations. The use of these instruments may involve additional investment risks, including the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying securities. Derivatives also may create leverage which will amplify the effect of their performance on the Fund and may produce significant losses. Refer to Note 8 for further derivative disclosure.
|
The Fund writes call options with strike prices and expiration dates designed to reduce the volatility of the Fund's investment portfolio and to earn premiums. A call option gives the holder (buyer) the right to purchase a security at a specified price (the exercise price) at any time until a certain date (the expiration date). The

The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is intended to be continual in nature and cannot be terminated within a year after the effective date of the Fund's prospectus and subject thereafter to termination at any time upon 60 days written notice and approval by the Trust's Board or the Adviser, with consent of the Board. There were no waived fees, reimbursed expenses or recoupment by the Adviser for the period ended October 31, 2024.

4. TAX FOOTNOTE
Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of and during the period ended October 31, 2024, the Fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority and did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund is not subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities for tax years prior to the year ended April 30, 2021.
At April 30, 2024, the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year end, the components of accumulated loss on a tax basis were as follows:

OAKHURST STRATEGIC DEFINED RISK FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)
As of April 30, 2024, the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year end, the Fund had short-term capital loss carryovers of $1,644,022 and long-term carryovers of $63,572 which will be permitted to be carried over for an unlimited period of time. A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain capital, and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the Fund's taxable year subsequent to October 31 and December 31, respectively. For the taxable year ended April 30, 2024, the Fund did not defer, on a tax basis, any qualified late year losses.
Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund distributes substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the period from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, GAAP requires that they be reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.
There were no distributions paid for the six months ended October 31, 2024.
The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended April 30, 2024 are as follows:

5. DISTRIBUTION & SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan") for the Advisor Class. The Plan permits the Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of 0.25% average daily net assets of the Advisor Class. The expenses covered by the Plan may include the cost of preparing and distributing prospectuses and other sales material, advertising and public relations expenses, payments to financial intermediaries and compensation of personnel involved in selling shares of the Fund. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent reimbursement for distribution and service activities. As of October 31, 2024, Advisor Class shares are not available.
In addition, pursuant to a Shareholder Service Plan (the "Shareholder Servicing Plan") adopted by the Trust on behalf of the Fund, the Advisor is authorized to engage financial institutions, securities dealers and other industry professionals ("Shareholder Servicing Agent") to provide personal shareholder services relating to the servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts not otherwise provided to the Fund. Payments made pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan shall not exceed 0.10% of the average daily net asset value of the Institutional Class or the Advisor Class. For the six months ended October 31, 2024, the Institutional Class incurred expenses of $44 to the plan. As of October 31, 2024, the Advisor Class shares were not available for purchase. Payments made under the Shareholder Servicing Plan shall be used to compensate Shareholder Servicing Agents for providing general shareholder liaison services, including, but not limited to: (i) answering inquiries from shareholders regarding account status and history, the manner in which purchases and redemptions of the Fund shares may be effected, and other matters pertaining to the Fund; (ii) assisting shareholders in designating and changing dividend options, account designations and addresses; (iii) arranging for wiring of funds and transmitting and receiving funds in connection with orders to purchase or redeem Fund shares; (iv) verifying and guaranteeing shareholder signatures in connection with orders to purchase or redeem Fund shares; (v) providing such other similar services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts; and (vi) providing necessary personnel and facilities to conduct the activities described above.

7. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

8. OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Fund is subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement. Interactive Brokers is the prime broker for the Fund's exchange traded derivatives. Refer to Note 2 M. for further derivative disclosure.

OAKHURST STRATEGIC DEFINED RISK FUND
Board Consideration of Investment Advisory Agreement
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Under Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or the "Trustees") of Series Portfolios Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment advisory agreement and who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust's investment advisory agreements.
At a meeting held on July 24-25, 2024 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and approved the continuance of the investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust, on behalf of the Oakhurst Strategic Defined Risk Fund (the "Fund"), and Lido Advisors, LLC ("Lido"), for an additional one-year term. At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below in reviewing and approving Lido to continue serving as the Fund's investment adviser for another year.
In connection with the annual review process and in advance of the Meeting, Lido provided information to the Board in response to requests submitted to it by U.S. Bank Global Fund Services ("Fund Services"), the Fund's administrator, on behalf of the Board, to facilitate the Board's evaluation of the terms of the Advisory Agreement. The information furnished by Lido included materials describing, among other matters: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Lido, including Lido's portfolio manager and other personnel, and the investment practices and techniques used by Lido in managing the Fund; (ii) the historical investment performance of the Fund; (iii) the management fees payable by the Fund to Lido and the Fund's total operating expenses compared with those of a peer group of registered funds; (iv) the financial condition of Lido; (v) Lido's profitability with respect to managing the Fund; (vi) the extent to which any economies of scale realized by Lido in connection with its services to the Fund are shared with Fund shareholders; and (v) other ancillary or "fall-out" benefits Lido and/or its affiliates, if any, may receive based on Lido's relationship with the Fund. In addition to the Meeting, the Board met on June 20, 2024, with Fund Services and counsel to the Independent Trustees to discuss the materials that had been furnished by Lido in response to the information requests. The Board also considered information furnished to the Board at its meetings periodically over the course of the year. At these meetings, representatives of Lido furnished quarterly reports and other information to the Board regarding the performance of the Fund, the services provided to the Fund by Lido, Lido's personnel and business operations, marketing and distribution activity for the Fund, and compliance and operational matters related to the Fund and Lido. The Board also considered the presentation by representatives of Lido received at the Board's meeting held on January 24-25, 2024.
In considering and approving the Advisory Agreement for another year, the Board considered the information it deemed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge and experience gained over time through previous interactions with Lido in overseeing the Fund. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Lido, Fund Services and the Interested Trustee. The following summarizes a number of relevant, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE FUND
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Lido under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the range of services provided by Lido. The Board received and considered information regarding, among other things, the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of the portfolio managers who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Board also received and considered information about Lido's investment process and investment strategy for the Fund, Lido's approach to security selection, Lido's investment research capabilities and resources, and the overall positioning of the Fund's portfolio. The Board also considered Lido's trade execution capabilities and experience. The Board noted that Lido had been managing the Fund's portfolio following the transition of the investment management business of Oakhurst Advisors, LLC, and affiliate of Lido, to Lido. The Board also considered that the Fund's portfolio managers had each served as a portfolio manager to the Fund since its inception. In addition, the Board considered the quality of Lido's communications with the Board and Fund Services and responsiveness to inquiries and requests made from time to time with respect to the Fund.

Board Consideration of Investment Advisory Agreement
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)
The Board evaluated the ability of Lido, based on attributes such as its financial condition, resources and reputation, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals to service the Fund. The Board further considered Lido's compliance program and its compliance record since the inception of the Fund, including past reports from the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") regarding the CCO's review of Lido's compliance program. The Board also considered the entrepreneurial and other risks assumed by Lido in connection with the services provided to the Fund.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that Lido is capable of continuing to provide services of the nature, extent and quality contemplated by the terms of the Advisory Agreement.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
The Board considered the Fund's investment performance. In this regard, the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund as of June 30, 2024, as compared to its benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the index for the year-to-date, one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods. Additionally, the Board considered the Fund's investment performance as compared to a universe of peer funds compiled by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), an independent provider of investment company data, based on Morningstar fund classifications (the "Performance Universe"). The Board considered that the performance data provided by Broadridge included, among other things, performance comparisons for the one-year, two-year, three-year, four-year and five-year periods ended April 30, 2024. The Board noted that the Institutional Class shares of the Fund outperformed the Performance Universe median and average for the one-year and two-year periods, but underperformed the Performance Universe median and average for the five-year period ended April 30, 2024. The Board also noted that for the three-year and four-year periods, the Institutional Class shares of the Fund outperformed the Performance Universe average but underperformed the Performance Universe median. The Board noted that while it found the comparative data provided by Broadridge generally useful in evaluating the Fund's performance, the Board recognized the limitations of such data, including that notable differences may exist between the Fund and its peers. Additionally, at the Board's request, Lido identified the funds it considered to be the Fund's top competitors and/or peers (the "Selected Peer Group") and provided the Selected Peer Group's performance results. The Board also considered that, in connection with its meetings held during the course of the prior year, the Board received and considered reports regarding the Fund's performance over various time periods and Lido's analysis of the Fund's performance for these time periods.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the performance results achieved by Lido for the Fund were satisfactory given market conditions. The Board further concluded that it continued to have confidence in Lido's overall capabilities to manage the Fund.
FEES AND EXPENSES
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment management fee rate payable by the Fund to Lido for investment management services (the "Management Fee Rate"). Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Fee Rate of the Fund with those of a group of peer funds (the "Expense Group"), as determined by Broadridge, based on Morningstar fund classifications. The Board noted that the Management Fee Rate was higher than the Expense Group average and median.
The Board noted that Lido reported that it does not serve as an investment adviser or sub-adviser to registered funds other than the Fund, but the Board received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Lido to other types of clients. The Board considered the fee comparisons in view of any differences between Lido's services to the Fund and the services it provides to these other types of clients.
The Board received and considered information regarding the Fund's gross and net total operating expense ratio and its various components, including management fees, transfer agency fees, custodian fees, other non-management fees and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees, as well as the Fund's fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board noted that Lido had entered into an expense limitation agreement (the "Expense Limitation Agreement") to limit the total annual fund operating expenses of the Fund (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees, redemption fees, swap fees and expenses, dividends and interest on short positions, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage fees (including commissions, mark-ups and mark-downs), annual account fees for margin accounts, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation). The Board considered the

net operating expense ratio in comparison to the average and median of the Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund's net expense ratio was higher than both the average and median of the Expense Group.
The Board received a description of the methodology and screening criteria used by Broadridge to determine the registered funds and share classes in the Expense Group. While the Board recognized that comparisons between the Fund and Expense Peer Group may be imprecise, the comparative, independently selected information provided by Broadridge assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of the Fund's Management Fee Rate and net expense ratio. Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the Fund's Management Fee Rate and net expense ratio to the Fund's Selected Peer Group.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the Management Fee Rate was reasonable in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreement and that the expense structure of the Fund supported the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.
PROFITABILITY AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The Board requested and received a report on Lido's revenue and expenses resulting from services provided to the Fund pursuant to the Advisory Agreement for the twelve months ended March 31, 2024. The Board noted information about the profitability to Lido from its advisory relationship with the Fund for the twelve months ended March 31, 2024.The Board received and considered a description of the expense allocation methodology used by Lido in calculating profitability in connection with the continuation of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered Lido's financial resources and information regarding Lido's commitment with respect to the Fund and its ability and financial wherewithal to support its management of the Fund and obligations under the Advisory Agreement and Expense Limitation Agreement. The Board concluded that Lido's profit from managing the Fund had not been, and currently was not, excessive.
With respect to economies of scale, the Board considered information regarding the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund's shareholders. The Board reviewed the Fund's operating history and changes in the Fund's asset levels since it commenced operations. The Board then considered information regarding whether and the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund's assets grow and whether the Fund's fee structure reflects these economies of scale for the benefit of for shareholders. The Board considered that the Expense Limitation Agreement limits costs to shareholders and provides a means of sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund's shareholders. The Board noted that it would continue to monitor any future growth in the Fund's assets and the appropriateness of implementing management fee breakpoints or other methods to share benefits from economies of scale as part of its future annual review of the Advisory Agreement.
ANCILLARY BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND
The Board received and considered information regarding ancillary or "fall-out" benefits to Lido and/or its affiliates, if any, as a result of Lido's relationship with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits attributable to research credits generated by Fund portfolio transactions. In this regard, the Board considered that Lido confirmed it had benefited firm-wide from research credits generated by Fund portfolio transactions over the past twelve months. Ancillary benefits could also include benefits potentially derived from an increase in Lido's business as a result of its relationship with the Fund (such as the ability to market to shareholders other potential financial products and services offered by Lido, or to operate other products and services that follow investment strategies similar to those of the Fund). Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that ancillary benefits received by Lido and/or its affiliates, if any, were unreasonable.
CONCLUSIONS
In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Fund's surrounding circumstances. Based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information and factors described above, among others, the Board unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term.
