How did the Fund perform in the past 12 months and what affected its performance?

Equity markets experienced significant volatility over the Period, as investors navigated post-election optimism and renewed policy uncertainty. Following a strong 2024, during which the S&P 500® Index gained 26.5%, markets reversed course in early 2025 after newly elected President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on imports triggering the sharpest two-day market decline since 2020. Recession concerns rose, yet corporate earnings remained resilient. Equity markets rallied sharply after the market bottomed on April 8, 2025 as economic data continued to improve throughout the year as trade tensions eased. While large-cap stocks recovered swiftly, small caps continued to lag amid shifting market leadership and persistent valuation gaps.

For the Period, the Fund underperformed the Russell 2000® Growth Index (-7.63% vs. +13.56%) and underperformed the Russell 3000® Index (-7.63% vs. +17.41%). The relative shortfall was a combination of style headwinds where low-quality, unprofitable stocks outperformed, coupled with negative stock selection. Technology was the largest detractor, particularly within Software, while Health Care provided some offset earlier in the period.

In Technology, holdings such as Exponent, Inc. and Novanta, Inc. weighed most heavily. Exponent (-38.85%) detracted -211 basis points to relative performance as margins and utilization weakened amid regulatory delays. Novanta (-44.03%) detracted -195 basis points, pressured by tariffs and supply-chain challenges despite exceeding earnings expectations and expanding its share repurchase program.

On a positive note, sector allocation effects within Real Estate added modestly to results, while Health Care contributed during late 2024. The Fund's relative positioning in Basic Materials and Telecommunications was positive from an allocation standpoint, though offset by weaker stock selection.

Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC remains confident that small-cap growth companies are well positioned for long-term recovery as valuations normalize, economic clarity improves, and company fundamentals are once again rewarded by the marketplace.

For the Period, the Fund underperformed the Russell 2500® Growth Index (-3.66% vs. +12.62%) and underperformed the Russell 3000® Index (-3.66% vs. +17.41%). The relative shortfall was a combination of style headwinds where low-quality, unprofitable stocks outperformed, coupled with negative stock selection. Positive sector allocation was a modest contributor. Technology was the largest detractor, particularly within Software (-2.64%), while Real Estate provided a modest positive contribution.

Within Technology, Exponent (-38.85%) detracted -185 basis points as lower utilization, margin pressure, and regulatory delays hindered results despite earnings above estimates. Novanta (-44.03%) detracted -142 basis points amid trade disruptions, tariffs, and softness in life sciences markets, though management reaffirmed long-term confidence through a $200 million share repurchase authorization.

Sector performance in the benchmark was led by Utilities and Basic Materials, areas where the Fund's allocation was favorable, but stock selection limited relative gains. Real Estate was the weakest benchmark sector but had minimal portfolio impact.

Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC remains confident in the long-term potential of high-quality small- and mid-cap growth companies, particularly as earnings visibility improves, valuation spreads normalize, and company fundamentals are once again rewarded by the marketplace.

How did the Fund perform in the past 12 months and what affected its performance?

Equity markets experienced significant volatility over the Period, as investors navigated post-election optimism and renewed policy uncertainty. Following a strong 2024, during which the S&P 500® Index gained 26.5%, markets reversed course in early 2025 after newly elected President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on imports triggering the sharpest two-day market decline since 2020. Recession concerns rose, yet corporate earnings remained resilient. Equity markets rallied sharply after the market bottomed on April 8, 2025 as economic data continued to improve throughout the year as trade tensions eased. While large-cap stocks recovered swiftly, small caps continued to lag amid shifting market leadership and persistent valuation gaps.

For the Period, the Fund underperformed the Russell Midcap® Growth Index (-3.99% vs. 22.02%) and underperformed the Russell 3000® Index for the Period (-3.99% vs. +17.41%). Stock selection was the primary driver of underperformance, led by weakness in the Technology sector. Software holdings detracted most, as investors favored hardware and semiconductor companies benefiting from AI-driven demand. Style headwinds were also a detractor as low-quality, unprofitable stocks outperformed.

Gartner, Inc. was the largest individual detractor, as slowing contract value growth, reduced federal renewals, and tariff-related cost pressures weighed on results. Copart, Inc., an off-benchmark position, also detracted due to lower purchased vehicle margins, despite solid service revenue growth.

Additional weakness came from Industrials and Consumer Discretionary holdings, which produced positive absolute returns but trailed strong benchmark sector gains. Health Care provided a modest offset, supported by select medical technology holdings, while Utilities modestly detracted.

Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC remains confident that its focus on high-quality, mid-cap growth companies with sustainable earnings, strong balance sheets, and durable competitive advantages will position the Fund for long-term success despite near-term challenges.

Material Fund Changes

On November 19, 2025, the Board decided to close and liquidate the Conestoga Mid Cap Fund, following the Adviser's recommendation. The Fund will cease accepting orders for new shares after the close of business on November 24, 2025, and will be fully liquidated on or around January 31, 2026. At that time, all assets will be distributed in cash to shareholders, and all shares will be redeemed and cancelled. Until the liquidation, proceeds from the sale of portfolio securities will be invested in cash equivalents or held in cash, potentially impacting the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective.

Equity markets rallied sharply after the market bottomed on April 8, 2025 as economic data continued to improve throughout the year as trade tensions eased. While large-cap stocks recovered swiftly, small caps continued to lag amid shifting market leadership and persistent valuation gaps.

For the Period, the Fund underperformed the Russell Microcap® Growth Index (+30.15% vs. +33.08%) but overperformed the Russell 3000® Index (+30.15% vs. +17.41%). The relative shortfall was primarily due to negative stock selection, although positive sector allocation offset some of the losses. Industrials detracted most significantly, particularly within electronic equipment, while Consumer Discretionary added positively, led by education services.

At the security level, Transcat, Inc. and OrthoPediatrics Corp. were the largest detractors. Transcat (-39.39%) detracted -298 basis points due to weaker calibration demand, margin pressure, and hurricane-related disruptions, despite 15% year-over-year revenue growth and a strengthened regulatory position via acquisition. OrthoPediatrics (-13.29%) detracted -253 basis points amid slowing revenue growth and margin compression, though its Specialty Bracing business and MY01 partnership supported longer-term growth prospects.

Benchmark sector performance was led by Financials (+65.63%) and Industrials (+53.99%), both areas where allocation helped but stock selection lagged.

Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC remains confident that disciplined stock selection and a focus on high-quality micro-cap growth companies position the Fund well as market volatility normalizes.

* Annualized

**Performance prior to December 20, 2021, is that of another investment vehicle (the "Predecessor Fund") before the commencement of the Fund's operations. The Predecessor Fund was converted into the Fund on December 20, 2021. The Predecessor Fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and thus was not subject to certain investment and operational restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act on registered investment companies and by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 on regulated investment companies. If the Predecessor Fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. Returns for the Fund's shares reflect all charges, expenses and fees of the Predecessor Fund.

Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC remains confident that disciplined stock selection and a focus on high-quality micro-cap growth companies position the Fund well as market volatility normalizes.

The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares.

* Annualized

**Performance prior to December 20, 2021, is that of another investment vehicle (the "Predecessor Fund") before the commencement of the Fund's operations. The Predecessor Fund was converted into the Fund on December 20, 2021. The Predecessor Fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and thus was not subject to certain investment and operational restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act on registered investment companies and by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 on regulated investment companies. If the Predecessor Fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. Returns for the Fund's shares reflect all charges, expenses and fees of the Predecessor Fund.

CONESTOGA FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2025

1. Organization

Conestoga Funds (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 5, 2002. The Trust consists of four series, the Conestoga Small Cap Fund (the "Small Cap Fund"), the Conestoga SMid Cap Fund (the "SMid Cap Fund"), the Conestoga Mid Cap Fund (the "Mid Cap Fund") and the Conestoga Discovery Fund (the "Discovery Fund") (individually, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). The Trust is registered as an open-end diversified management investment company of the series type under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund's investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital. Each Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Institutional Class and Investors Class. The Mid Cap Fund commenced operations on June 29, 2021 and the Discovery Fund commenced operations on December 20, 2021.

Each Fund's two classes of shares represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, and have the same rights, but the share classes differ primarily in the expenses to which they are subject and have differing investment minimums. Institutional Class shares are sold without any sales loads or distribution fees but are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets allocable to Institutional Class shares and require a $250,000 initial investment. Investors Class shares are sold without any sales loads but are subject to a distribution fee of up to 0.25% and a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets allocable to Investors Class shares and require a $2,500 initial investment. The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board" and the members thereof, "Trustees") has determined to limit the shareholder servicing fees paid by Investors Class shares of each Fund to 0.05% of the average daily net assets allocable to Investors Class shares until at least September 30, 2026.

The Funds have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting ("Topic 280") - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of ASU 2023-07 impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each 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 Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser" or "Management"). Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each 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 each Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the Funds' significant accounting policies. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Funds follow accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, "Financial Services - Investment Companies."

New Accounting Pronouncement - In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes ("Topic 740") - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Management does not believe there will be any impact on the Funds' financial statements.

Securities valuation - Each Fund values its portfolio securities at market value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE") (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each business day the NYSE is open for business. The Funds value their listed securities on the basis of the security's last sale price on the security's primary exchange, if available, otherwise at the exchange's most recently quoted bid price. NASDAQ-listed securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Investments representing shares of other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value ("NAV") as reported by such companies. When using a quoted price and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy (see below). In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, the Funds value their securities and other assets at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Adviser as the Funds' valuation designee (in such capacity, the "Valuation Designee"), in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are "readily available" for purposes of Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires a fund to fair value a security when market quotations are not readily available. The Funds adopted Pricing and Valuation Guidelines conforming to Rule 2a-5, effective September 8, 2022, and designated the Adviser as Valuation Designee for each of the Funds. Under these procedures, securities held by the Funds may be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used. Unavailable or unreliable market quotes may be due to the following factors: a substantial bid-ask spread; infrequent sales resulting in stale prices; insufficient trading volume; small trade sizes; a temporary lapse in any reliable pricing source; and actions of the securities or

32

CONESTOGA FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

futures markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading. As a result, the prices of securities used to calculate each Fund's NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets 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 risks, 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 a Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and based on the best information available

The inputs or methods used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is a summary of the Funds' investments based on the inputs used to value the investments as of September 30, 2025:

Refer to each Fund's Schedule of Investments for a listing of the common stocks by industry and sector type. The Funds did not hold any derivative instruments or any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of or during the year ended September 30, 2025.

Share valuation - The NAV per share of each class of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares outstanding of that class. The offering price and redemption price per share of each class of each Fund is equal to the NAV per share of such class.

Cash - Each Fund's cash may be held in a bank account with balances which may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. As of September 30, 2025, none of the Funds had a cash balance held in a deposit sweep account.

Investment income - Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the security received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's rules and tax rates.

Investment transactions - Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on a specific identification basis.

Common expenses - Common expenses of the Trust are allocated between the Funds based on the relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each Fund.

Distributions to shareholders - Each Fund distributes to its shareholders any net investment income dividends and net realized capital gains distributions at least once each year. The amount of such dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends and distributions

Allocation between classes - Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are allocated daily to each class of a Fund based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of that Fund. Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses that are not attributable to a specific class are allocated daily to each class of shares of a Fund based upon its proportionate share of total net assets.

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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CONESTOGA FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Federal income tax - Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Qualification generally will relieve each Fund of liability for federal income taxes to the extent each Fund distributes substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed in accordance with the Code.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund's intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of September 30, 2025:

Small Cap Fund

Tax cost of investments

$ 2,088,340,593 $ 477,874,599

The difference between the federal income tax cost of investments and the financial statement cost of portfolio investments for the Funds are due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are temporary in nature and are primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

For the year ended September 30, 2025, the following reclassifications were made on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the Funds as a result of a permanent difference between the financial statements and income tax reporting requirements due in most part to net investment loss:

Such reclassifications, the result of permanent differences between financial statement and income tax reporting requirements, had no effect on each Fund's net assets of NAV per share.

Net qualified late year ordinary losses represent losses incurred after December 31, 2024. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the Funds' next taxable year. For the year ended September 30, 2025, the Small Cap Fund, SMid Cap Fund, Mid Cap Fund and Discovery Fund deferred until October 1, 2025 qualified late year ordinary losses of $18,399,287, $1,972,070 & $4,711 and $40,868 for federal income tax purposes, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025, the Funds utilized the following capital loss carryforwards ("CLCFs") against current year gains for federal income tax purposes:

CONESTOGA FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Funds recognize the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" of being sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed each Fund's tax positions for all open tax years (generally, three years) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest and penalties.

7. Industry Risk

If a Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers within a particular industry, any development affecting that industry will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that industry. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund's NAV per share. Occasionally, market conditions, regulatory changes or other developments may negatively impact a particular industry. Under the Russell ICB Industry and Sector classification, equity companies are categorized within 11 industries and 45 sectors and 171 subsectors. As of September 30, 2025, the Funds had a significant value of their net assets invested in stocks within the Russell ICB industries as follows:

Fund

CONESTOGA FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Funds consider companies to be "in the same industry" for purposes of industry concentration if the companies are categorized in the same Russell ICB subsector. None of the Funds concentrated their investments by investing more than 25% of their net assets in a single Russell ICB subsector.

8. Contingencies and Commitments

The Funds indemnify the Trust's officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

9. Recent Market Risk

Certain local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illnesses and/or other public health issues, financial institution instability, trade disruption or other events may have a significant impact on a security or a Fund. These types of events and others like them may have adverse impacts on the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Some of the impacts noted in recent times include, but are not limited to, embargos, political actions, tariffs, supply chain disruptions, bank failures, restrictions to investment and/or monetary movement, including the forced selling of securities or the inability to participate in impacted markets. The duration of these events could adversely affect a Fund's performance, the performance of the securities in which a Fund invests and may lead to losses on an investment. The ultimate impact of these events on the financial performance of a Fund's investments is not reasonably estimable at this time. Management is actively monitoring these events.

10. Borrowing Costs

From time to time, the Funds may have an overdrawn cash balance at the custodian due to redemptions or market movements. When this occurs, the Funds will incur borrowing costs charged by UMB Bank, NA (the "Custodian"). Accordingly, during the year ended September 30, 2025, the Small Cap Fund and SMid Cap Fund incurred $7,336 and $4,144 of borrowing costs charged by the Custodian, respectively.

11. Subsequent Events

The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events except for the following:

On November 19, 2025, the Board determined to close and liquidate the Conestoga Mid Cap Fund (for this section, the "Fund") at the recommendation of the Adviser. The Fund will be closed and liquidated on or about January 31, 2026. In connection with the pending liquidation, the Fund discontinued accepting orders for the purchase of Fund shares after the close of business on November 24, 2025. On or around the close of business on January 31, 2026, the Fund will distribute, pro rata, all of its assets in cash to its shareholders, and all outstanding shares will be redeemed and cancelled. Prior to that time, the proceeds from the liquidation of portfolio securities will be invested in cash equivalent securities or held in cash. During this time, the Fund may hold more cash, cash equivalents or other short-term investments than normal, which may prevent the Fund from meeting its stated investment objective.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Conestoga Funds

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Conestoga Funds comprising Conestoga Small Cap Fund, Conestoga SMid Cap Fund, Conestoga Mid Cap Fund, and Conestoga Discovery Fund (the "Funds") as of September 30, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, 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 each of the Funds as of September 30, 2025, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Funds' financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2022, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 21, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' 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 Funds 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 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.

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 September 30, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Funds' auditor since 2023.
