The Tocqueville Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
The Tocqueville Trust (the "Trust") is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and organized on September 17, 1986, consisting of one fund, The Tocqueville Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is an open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation, which it seeks to achieve by investing primarily in securities of United States issuers. Tocqueville Asset Management L.P. is the investment adviser to the Fund ("Tocqueville," or the "Adviser").
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statement. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, "Financial Services - Investment Companies."
|
a)
|
Security Valuation and Security Transactions. Investments in securities, including foreign securities, traded on an exchange or quoted on the over-the-counter market are valued at the last sale price or, if no sale occurred during the day, at the mean between closing bid and ask prices, as last reported by a pricing service approved by the Trustees. Securities that are principally traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National Market ("NASDAQ") are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). If there is no NASDAQ Official Closing Price for a NASDAQ-listed security or sale price available for an over-the-counter security, the mean of the latest bid and asked quotations from NASDAQ will be used. When market quotations for securities are not readily available, or when restricted securities or other assets are being valued, such assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under procedures approved by the Trustees. Money market funds are valued at net asset value ("NAV"). Fixed income securities, such as corporate bonds, convertible bonds and U.S. government agency issues are valued based on evaluated mean prices supplied by independent pricing services using matrix pricing formulas and/or independent broker bid quotations.
|
Trading in securities on foreign securities exchanges normally is completed before the calculation of the Fund's NAV. Trading on these foreign exchanges may not take place on all days on which there is regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), or may take place on days on which there is no regular trading on the NYSE. Similarly, the Fund may hold securities traded in domestic markets where the market may close early on a given day prior to calculation of the Fund's NAV. Events affecting the value of such securities held by the Fund that occur between the close of trading in the security and the close of trading on the NYSE normally will not be reflected in the Fund's calculation of the NAV. However, significant events will be closely monitored, and where it is determined that an adjustment should be made to the security's value because significant interim events may materially affect the value of the security, the security will be priced at its fair value in accordance with the procedures approved by the Trustees.
Cash and cash equivalents may exceed federal insurance limits. Money market deposit accounts are considered cash equivalents and reflected at cost.
Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Net realized gains and losses from sales of securities are determined on the specific identification cost method.
|
b)
|
Restricted and Illiquid Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and a prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.
|
|
c)
|
Fair Valuation Measurements. The Trust has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These
|

Notes to Financial Statements

standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
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 the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
When using the market quotations or closing price provided by the pricing service for equity investments-including common stocks, preferred stocks, foreign issued common stocks, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds and real estate investment trusts-which are traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price reported by the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded on the day of valuation and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. When using the mean between the latest bid and ask price, the security will be classified as Level 2.
Investment in mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds and will be classified as Level 1 securities.
Fixed income securities, such as corporate bonds, convertible bonds, commercial paper, money market deposit accounts and U.S. government agency issues are valued based on evaluated mean prices supplied by independent pricing services using matrix pricing formulas and/or independent broker bid quotations and are classified as Level 2.
Options are valued at the composite last price reported by the exchange on which the options are primarily traded on the day of the valuation and are classified as Level 1. If there is no composite last price on a given day, the mean between the latest bid and ask price will be used. These contracts are classified as Level 2.
Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of Trustees pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act and may be classified as Level 3 securities. In determining fair value, the Fund will seek to assign a value to the security that it believes represents the amount the Fund could reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. With respect to securities that are actively traded on U.S. exchanges, the Fund expects that market quotations will generally be available and that fair value might be used only in limited circumstances, such as when trading for a security is halted during the trading day.
In determining whether a significant event has occurred with respect to securities traded principally in foreign markets, the Fund may engage a third party fair value service provider to systematically recommend the adjustment of closing market prices of non-U.S. securities based upon changes in a designated U.S. securities market index occurring from the time of close of the relevant foreign market and the close of the NYSE. Fair value pricing may also be used to value restricted securities held by the Fund or securities with little or no trading activity for extended periods of time. Fair value pricing involves judgments that are inherently subjective and inexact and it is not possible to determine with certainty when, and to what extent, an event will affect a market price. As a result, there can be no assurance that fair value pricing will reflect actual market value and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of April 30, 2026, involving the Fund's assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The inputs of methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Trust's valuation procedures have been adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees, which has established a Valuation Committee to oversee the valuation process. The Valuation Committee meets on an as needed basis, or at least annually to evaluate changes in the valuation of portfolio securities. The full findings and valuations are then reviewed quarterly by the Independent Trustees. The Board of Trustees has appointed the Adviser as valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act.
During the period ended April 30, 2026 the Fund held $5,297,600 of investments with significant inputs that would be classified as Level 3. The significant input was transaction cost.
Below is a reconciliation that details the activity of securities in Level 3 during the current fiscal period:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Adviser may use derivative instruments, such as purchased and written options, as a means to manage exposure to different types of risk, including market risk and exchange rate risk, and to gain exposure to underlying securities. The Trust has adopted disclosure standards in order to enable the investor to understand how and why an entity used derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivatives affect an entity's results of operations and financial position.
|
In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price (commonly knows as the "strike price").
When the Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment and subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a purchased call or put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call, or in the case of a put, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Purchased options are non-income producing securities.
When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Tocqueville Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)(Continued)
options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gain from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a written call or put option is exercised, the premium is added or subtracted, respectively, from the proceeds or cost basis, respectively, to the related transaction of the underlying security. The Fund, as writers of an option, would bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
Derivatives Risk
The risks of using the types of derivatives in which the Fund may engage include: the risk that movements in the value of the derivative may not fully offset or complement instruments currently held in the Fund in the manner intended by the Adviser; the risk that the counterparty to a derivative contract may fail to comply with their obligations to the Fund; the risk that the derivative may not possess a liquid secondary market at a time when the Fund would look to disengage the position; the risk that additional capital from the Fund may be called upon to fulfill the conditions of the derivative contract; and the risk that the cost of the derivative contracts may reduce the overall returns experienced by the Fund. The measurement of risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related offsetting transactions are considered. The Fund may enter into written call options to hedge against changes in the value of equities. The Fund's option component of the overall investment strategy is often referred to as a "buy-write" strategy (also called a "covered call" strategy), in which the Adviser (as defined below) writes (sells) a call option contract while at the same time owning an equivalent number of shares of the underlying stock to generate moderate current income. The writing of call options is intended to reduce the volatility of the portfolio and to earn premium income. Written call options expose the Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk since they are exchange traded and the exchange's clearing house guarantees the options against default. As the writer of a call option the Fund has the obligation to sell the security at the exercise price during the exercise period in the event the option is exercised. The use of options does not create leverage in the Fund. The Fund did not transact in written options during the period ended April 30, 2026.

Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange, in accordance with the Trust's Portfolio Securities Valuation and Foreign Exchange Contracts Procedures. The Fund has engaged in transactions in securities denominated in foreign currencies and, as a result, entered into foreign exchange transactions. The Fund is exposed to additional market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying currency in relation to the U.S. dollar. Risks include the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their obligations. The value of foreign currencies are marked-to-market on a daily basis, which reflects the changes in the market value of the contract at the close of each day's trading, resulting in daily unrealized gains and/or losses. When the transactions are settled or the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.
|
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are reflected as net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

|
Shareholder Transactions and Distributions. Shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually by the Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Permanent differences between financial and tax reporting may result in reclassification to capital stock.
|
|
g)
|
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
|
|
h)
|
Indemnification. In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
|
|
i)
|
Subsequent Events Evaluation. In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure resulting from subsequent events through the date financial statements were issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events, that necessitated disclosure and/or adjustments.
|
|
j)
|
Segment Reporting. The Fund has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Fund.
|
The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
In this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments enhance income tax disclosure requirements, including increased disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction and tax type. The Fund did not pay any federal, state, or local income taxes during the reporting period, and adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Fund's financial position or results of operations.
3. FEDERAL INCOME TAX
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the tax return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, or for any other tax years which are open for exam. As of October 31, 2025, open tax years include the tax years ended October 31, 2022 through 2024. The Trust is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next six months. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has not been made since the Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as Regulated Investment Companies and intend to distribute substantially all taxable income to shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to Regulated Investment Companies. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income to

shareholders for tax purposes. Additionally, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. For the year ended October 31, 2025, the following table shows the reclassifications made:
