The X-Square Balanced Fund (the "Fund") registered net gains for calendar year 2025, marking a third consecutive year of strong double-digit performance. The 60/40 benchmark portfolio (S&P 500 Index with the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index) gained 13.65% for the period. While all three major U.S. equity indices-the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow-posted double-digit gains, the year was defined by heightened volatility across global markets, creating attractive opportunities for active management. Early-year turbulence driven by tariff uncertainty, geopolitical risk, and policy ambiguity pushed volatility measures to multi-year highs before conditions stabilized and risk appetite recovered.
Monetary policy remained a central theme as the Federal Reserve delivered rate cuts and formally concluded its quantitative tightening program, improving liquidity conditions despite continued funding-market pressures. Corporate confidence rebounded, with accelerating capital expenditures and renewed merger activity supporting earnings resilience, particularly across technology and financial sectors.
Looking ahead, elevated valuations emphasize earnings delivery, broader participation, disciplined capital deployment, diversification, and attractive risk-adjusted returns for shareholders.
The X- Square Balanced Fund - A Fund returned 11.72% for the period November 1, 2019 to December 31, 2025. This is in contrast to the S&P 500® Total Return Index, which had a 17.88% return for the same time period. Please see below tables for additional indexes.

Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights |
December 31, 2025
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND REGISTRATION
X-Square Balanced Fund, LLC (the "Fund") is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund is a diversified investment company with an investment objective which seeks conservation of capital, current income and long-term growth of capital and income. The Fund currently offers Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Shares. Each share class of the Fund represents an investment in the same portfolio of securities, but each share class has its own expense structures. The Fund's Investment Adviser is X-Square Capital, LLC (the "Adviser"). The Fund is a related party to the Adviser.
Subject to certain exceptions, investments in Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge if shares are sold within 12 months of purchase. The contingent deferred sales charge is expected to be calculated based on the lesser of the offering price and market value of shares being sold.
NOTE 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. The financial statements are prepared in United States Dollars and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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 may differ from these estimates. The Fund is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The financial statements have been prepared as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") as of the fiscal year end of the Fund.
Portfolio Valuation: The net asset value ("NAV") per common share of the Fund is determined daily, on each day that there is a regular trading session on the NYSE as of the close of regular trading. The Fund's NAV per common share is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund's total assets, less its liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding and rounding the result to the nearest full cent.
The Fund generally values its securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally, 4 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day (Monday through Friday). The Fund will not value its securities on any day that the NYSE is closed, including the following observed holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The Fund's currency valuations are done as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally, 4 p.m. Eastern time).
For equity securities that are traded on an exchange, the market price is usually the closing sale or official closing price on that exchange, provided such price is not deemed stale, and that it represents fair value. In the case of securities not traded on an exchange, or if such closing prices are not otherwise available, the market price is typically determined by independent third party pricing vendors approved by the Fund's Board of Managers ("the Board") using a variety of pricing techniques and methodologies.

Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights |
December 31, 2025
The market price for debt obligations (including short-term debt obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) is generally the price supplied by an independent third-party pricing service approved by the Board, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. In certain circumstances, bid and ask prices may be obtained from: (i) a broker/ dealer specified and deemed reliable by the Adviser, (ii) pink sheets, yellow sheets or the blue list, or (iii) a pricing agent that obtains quotations from broker/dealers or evaluates the value of the respective bid and ask prices. If vendors are unable to supply a price, or if the price supplied is deemed to be unreliable, the market price may be determined using quotations received from one or more brokers/dealers that make a market in the security.
When such prices or quotations are not available, or when the Adviser believes that they are unreliable, securities may be priced using fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Fund may also use fair value procedures if the Adviser determines that a significant event has occurred between the time at which a market price is determined and the time at which the Fund NAV is calculated. In particular, the value of foreign securities may be materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which they are traded, but before the Fund prices its shares.
The Fund may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by pricing services and other third-party vendors, which may recommend fair value prices or adjustments with reference to other securities, indices or assets. In considering whether fair value pricing is required and in determining fair values, the Fund may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indices) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the Fund values its securities. In addition, the Fund may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of foreign securities.
Valuing securities at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuation of securities based on readily available market quotations. A fund that uses fair value to price securities may value those securities higher or lower than another fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV.
The information above is not intended to reflect an exhaustive list of the methodologies that may be used to value portfolio investments. The Fund's valuation procedures permit the use of a variety of valuation methodologies in connection with valuing portfolio investments. The methodology used for a specific type of investment may vary based on the market data available or other considerations. The methodologies summarized above may not represent the specific means by which portfolio investments are valued on any particular business day.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Idle cash may be swept into various overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the identified cost basis method for financial reporting purposes. Dividends are recorded net of foreign withholding taxes. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
Allocation of Income, Fund-level Expenses, and Realized and Unrealized Gain or Losses: The Fund's income, expenses (other than class specific service and distribution fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Prevailing foreign exchange rates may be generally obtained at the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. EST).
Income Taxes: The Fund is taxed under the dispositions applicable to Registered Investment Companies established by the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended ("the Code"), its regulations and the administrative pronouncements promulgated thereunder. The Code states that every registered investment company will be exempt from Puerto Rico income tax for a taxable year if it distributes to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable net investment income for such taxable year. The Fund intends to meet the 90% distribution requirement on a yearly basis to maintain the income tax exemption.
For U.S. federal income taxes, the Fund will be treated as a foreign corporation not engaged in a trade or business in the United States for purposes of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "U.S. Code") and does not intend to derive income treated as effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States. As a foreign corporation not engaged in a trade or business in the United States, the Fund will only be subject to United States federal income taxes if it realizes certain items of U.S. source income of a fixed or determinable annual or periodic nature, in which case the Fund will be subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a 30% gross rate on such U.S. source income (not including interest received by the Fund on certain registered obligations).
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings arise when certain items, of income gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. As of period end, the tax-basis component of total distributable earnings are detailed as follows:
| Undistributed ordinary loss: | ($ | 51,269 | ) | |
| Undistributed capital gains: | $ | 3,435,389 | ||
| Unrealized appreciation: | $ | 14,478,827 |

| X-Square Balanced Fund |
Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights |
December 31, 2025
The Puerto Rico income tax basis of the Fund's investments at December 31, 2025, was $68,087,518, and net unrealized appreciation for income tax purposes was $14,478,827 (gross unrealized appreciation $17,230,775; gross unrealized depreciation $2,751,948).
The Fund distributed $1,185,097 as a return of capital for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund's 2024 tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; however, the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. The Fund remains subject to income tax examinations for its PR income taxes generally for the years 2021 through 2024.
Indemnification: The Fund indemnifies its officers and managers for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnities. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Fund discloses the classification of its fair value measurements following a three-tier hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments as of the end of the reporting period. When inputs used fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments.
These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
| Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| Level 2 - | Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
| Level 3 - | Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
As compensation for its services, the Fund pays to the Adviser a monthly management fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets.
The Adviser, a related party to the Fund, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Expense Reimbursement Agreement (the "Agreement"), has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund, at least until one year from the date of the Fund's prospectus (through April 30, 2025), to ensure that Net Annual Operating Expenses (excluding taxes, extraordinary expenses, reorganization expenses, brokerage commissions, interest, other expenditures that are not capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business) will not exceed 2.75%, 3.50% and 2.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets, respectively for Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Shares, respectively. The Adviser will be permitted to recover, on a class-by-class basis, any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed pursuant to the Agreement described above to the extent that the Fund expenses in later periods fall below the lesser of (i) the expense limitation in effect at the time the fees and/or expenses to be recovered were waived and/or reimbursed and (ii) the expense limitation in effect at the time the Adviser seeks to recover the fees or expenses. The Adviser will not be entitled to recover any such waived or reimbursed fees and expenses more than three years after the date on which the fees were waived or expenses were reimbursed. This Agreement will renew automatically for periods of one year (each such one year period, a "Renewal Year"). This Agreement may be terminated, as to any succeeding Renewal Year, by either party upon 60 days' written notice prior to the end of the then current Renewal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Managers at any time if it determines that such termination is in the best interest of the Fund and its Members. The Adviser may not terminate this waiver arrangement without the approval of the Fund's Board of Managers.

NOTE 7 - LINE OF CREDIT
As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had secured a bank line of credit through U.S. Bank, subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act for borrowings. As of the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund had no outstanding borrowings.
NOTE 8 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Risks and uncertainties for the Fund include, but are not limited to, any economic disruption brought upon by artificial intelligence, inflation, tariffs, supply disruptions, and potential fiscal pressures. These matters could erode purchasing power, among other risks, pressuring central banks to delay rate cuts, and negative affecting bond prices while squeezing margins and consumer spending. Developed market indebtedness at elevated levels can also trigger inflationary waves as governments try to monetize these insurmountable debt loads. Geopolitical risks could also result in market and economic disruptions. A continuation or escalation of the Ukrainian war, or any kinetic conflict in the middle east could also alter, disrupt and even destroy important supply chains.
NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Adviser has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure or would be required to be recognized in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Shareholders and Board of Managers of X-Square Balanced Fund, LLC:
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of X-Square Balanced Fund, LLC ("the Fund") as of December 31, 2025, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended December 31, 2025, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of X-Square Balanced Fund, LLC as of December 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Fund's auditor since 2021.

Item 11 - Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract |
December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
In connection with a meeting held on November 14, 2025, the Board of Managers (the "Managers" or the "Board") of X-Square Balanced Fund, LLC (the "Fund"), including a majority of the Managers who are not "interested persons," as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between X-Square Capital, LLC ("X2") and the Fund. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Advisory Agreement.
The Managers relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Managers were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Manager may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services: The Board noted that X-Square was a registered investment adviser since 2015 and that X-Square managed approximately $766 million in assets as of September 30, 2025. The Board reviewed the background information of X-Square's key investment professionals servicing the Fund, noting their educations and wide range of industry experience, and that the Fund had benefited from X-Square's experience and expertise. The Board acknowledged that X-Square's specialty was identifying unique investment opportunities based on their extensive knowledge of idiosyncratic themes, industry and market fundamentals, coupled with a strong liability and risk management framework. They considered X-Square's efforts and resources required to effectively allocate 60% of assets towards U.S. equity securities and a 40% towards fixed-income securities. The Board noted that X-Square selects broker-dealers based on best execution at the most favorable price and several other factors, and that X-Square has a Best Execution Committee that meets annually to assess factors influencing the execution of trades. The Board considered X-Square's cybersecurity policies and acknowledged Mr. Canto's assertion that X-Square's back-up systems and disaster recovery plan had proven effective in various circumstances. The Board noted that it appeared that X-Square's compliance program was working well, and that the Adviser did not report any material compliance or litigation issues in their responses. The Board discussed the routine regulatory examination of the Adviser. The Board also noted the X-Square maintained insurance, including cyber insurance. The Board concluded that X-Square had demonstrated that it was focused on providing high quality of service to the Fund and its shareholders.
Performance: The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund for various periods ended September 30, 2025, compared to peer group of comparable balanced funds, the S&P 500 Index, and 60% S&P 500 and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Board noted that the peer group constructed by X-Square was composed of funds with a similar investment mandate and local characteristics. The Managers acknowledged X-Square's explanation that although the Fund's outperformance relative to the peer group year-to-date and across all time periods, its performance is hindered due to the size of the Fund and expenses as a percentage of assets under management. The Board discussed that X-Square was working to raise additional assets to mitigate the drag on performance. After discussion, the Board concluded that X-Square had provided reasonable returns for the Fund and its shareholders.

Item 11 - Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract |
December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
Fees and Expenses: The Board acknowledged that X-Square's advisory fee for the Fund was higher than the average of its peer group but below the peer group high. The Board also noted that the X-Square's net expense ratio was higher than the average of its peer group but below the peer group high. The Board discussed the impact of the expense limitation agreement, and further recognized X-Square's explanation that many of the funds in its peer group had much larger assets than the Fund or were part of a larger fund family. Given these and other considerations, the Board concluded that X-Square's advisory fee for the Fund was not unreasonable.
Profitability: The Board reviewed X-Square's profitability analysis in connection with its management of the Fund and acknowledged that X-Square was earning a modest profit. The Board concluded that excessive profitability was not an issue for X-Square at this time.
Economies of Scale: The Board discussed the asset size of the Fund and its prospects for continued growth, concluding that it had not yet achieved meaningful economies that would necessitate the establishment of breakpoints. The Board recognized that X-Square agreed to discuss the implementation of breakpoints as the Fund's assets grew and X-Square achieved material economies of scale related to its operation. The Board agreed to monitor and revisit the issue at the appropriate time.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from X2 as the Board believed it to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
