Note 1 – Organization

Mast Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the “Managed Futures Strategy Fund”) and Mast Multialternative Strategy Fund (the "Multialternative Strategy Fund") (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are organized as a non-diversified series of Investment Managers Series Trust III (the "Trust"), which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Manteio Scalable Technologies LLC (the “Advisor”) serves as the investment advisor to the Funds and is a registered commodity pool operator with respect to the Funds.

 

The Managed Futures Strategy Fund’s investment objective is to seek absolute returns that have a low correlation to the returns of broad stock and bond markets. The Fund currently has three classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares.

 

The Multialternative Strategy Fund’s investment objective is to seek positive absolute returns. The Fund currently has two classes of shares: Class A Shares and Class I Shares.

 

On November 22, 2024, the Managed Futures Strategy Fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund, a series of Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds (the “Managed Futures Predecessor Fund”), which offered three classes of shares, Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares, in a tax-free reorganization as set out in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization was approved by the Trust’s Board on August 14, 2025. The Managed Future Predecessor Fund’s Board approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization on August 15, 2025. As a result of the reorganization, the Managed Futures Strategy Fund assumed the performance and accounting history of the Managed Futures Predecessor Fund. Financial information included for the dates prior to the reorganization is that of the Managed Futures Predecessor Fund.

 

The reorganization was accomplished by the following tax-free exchange in which each shareholder of the Managed Futures Predecessor Fund received the same aggregate share net asset value in the corresponding classes of the Managed Futures Strategy Fund as noted below:

 

  Shares Issued Net Assets
Class A Shares 976,395 8,324,703
Class C Shares 2,360 18,644
Class I Shares 20,381,321 177,156,432

 

The net unrealized depreciation of investments transferred was $820,601 as of the date of acquisition.

 

On November 22, 2024, the Multialternative Strategy Fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund, a series of Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds (the “Multialternative Predecessor Fund”), which offered two classes of shares, Class A shares and Class I shares, in a tax-free reorganization as set out in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization was approved by the Trust’s Board on August 14, 2025. The Multialternative Predecessor Fund’s Board approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization on August 15, 2025. As a result of the reorganization, the Multialternative Strategy Fund assumed the performance and accounting history of the Multialternative Predecessor Fund. Financial information included for the dates prior to the reorganization is that of the Multialternative Predecessor Fund.

The reorganization was accomplished by the following tax-free exchange in which each shareholder of the Multialternative Predecessor Fund received the same aggregate share net asset value in the corresponding classes of the Multialternative Strategy Fund as noted below:

 

  Shares Issued Net Assets
Class A Shares 226,731 2,051,228
Class I Shares 24,288,704 223,720,052

 

The net unrealized appreciation of investments transferred was $3,350,132 as of the date of acquisition.

 

On December 30, 2025, the Trust’s Board approved, based on the recommendation of the Advisor, to change the name of the Manteio Managed Futures Strategy Fund to the Mast Managed Futures Strategy Fund and the Manteio Multialternative Strategy Fund to the Mast Multialternative Strategy Fund.

 

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services — Investment Companies".

 

Each Fund is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The

objective and strategy of each Fund is used by the Advisor to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Highlights for each Fund is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Funds. Each Fund is party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and there are no resources allocated to a Fund based on performance measurements. The management of the Funds’ Advisor is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker with respect to the Funds’ investment decisions.

 

(a) Consolidation of Subsidiary

Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the shares of its respective wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary, Manteio Cayman Managed Futures Strategy Fund, Ltd. and Manteio Cayman Multialternative Strategy Fund, Ltd. (each, a “Subsidiary”). Each Subsidiary is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is overseen by its own board of directors. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Consolidated Financial Highlights of each Fund include the accounts of its respective Subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation for each Fund. Each Subsidiary is advised by the Advisor, and has the same investment objective as the corresponding Fund. Each Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-linked derivative instruments, including swaps, commodity options, futures and options on futures. As of April 30, 2026, total assets of the Managed Futures Strategy Fund were $33,159,788 of which $6,930,193, or approximately 20.9%, represented the Fund’s ownership of the shares of the Fund’s Subsidiary. As of April 30, 2026, total assets of the Multialternative Strategy Fund were $215,265,430 of which $31,597,830, or approximately 14.7%, represented the Fund’s ownership of the shares of the Fund’s Subsidiary.

 

Note 2 – Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(a) Valuation of Investments

The Funds value equity securities at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or in the principal over the counter (“OTC”) market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if the last-quoted sales price is not readily available, the securities will be valued at the last bid or the mean between the last available bid and ask price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Debt securities are valued by utilizing a price supplied by independent pricing service providers. The independent pricing service providers may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. If a price is not readily available for a portfolio security, the security will be valued at fair value (the amount which the Funds’ might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale). The Board of Directors has designated the Advisor as the Funds’ valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to make all fair value determinations with respect to the Funds’ portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight. As the Valuation Designee, the Advisor has adopted and implemented policies and procedures to be followed when the Fund’s must utilize fair value pricing.

 

(b) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Funds record a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Premiums for callable debt securities are amortized to the earliest call date, if the call price was less than the purchase price. If the call price was not at par and the security was not called, the security is amortized to the next call price and date. Income and expenses of the Funds are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares relative net assets, except for distribution and service fees which are unique to each class of shares relative net assets. Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to more than one fund are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund except where allocation of direct expenses to each fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately made.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Translation

The Funds’ records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The currencies are translated into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rates quoted as of 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

The Funds do not isolate that portion of their net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the impact arising from changes in market prices. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency.

 

Net realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

(d) Swaps

The Funds may enter into interest rate, currency and index swaps and the purchase or sale of related caps, floors and collars. Each Fund may enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, to protect against currency fluctuations or to protect against any increase in the price of securities it anticipates purchasing at a later date. Swaps may be used in conjunction with other instruments to offset interest rate, currency or other underlying risks. For example, interest rate swaps may be offset with “caps,” “floors” or “collars”. A “cap” is essentially a call option which places a limit on the amount of floating rate interest that must be paid on a certain principal amount. A “floor” is essentially a put option which places a limit on the minimum amount that would be paid on a certain principal amount. A “collar” is essentially a combination of a long cap and a short floor where the limits are set at different levels.

 

A Fund will usually enter into swaps on a net basis; that is, the two payment streams will be netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments.

 

Total Return Swaps. The Funds may enter into total return swaps for investment purposes. Total return swaps are contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market value of the underlying assets, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or security indexes during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate of the total return from other underlying assets. Total return swaps may be used to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or market, including in cases in which there may be disadvantages associated with direct ownership of a particular security. In a typical total return equity swap, payments made by a Fund or the counterparty are based on the total return of a particular reference asset or assets (such as an equity security, a combination of such securities, or an index). That is, one party agrees to pay another party the return on a stock, basket of stocks, or stock index in return for a specified interest rate. By entering into an equity index swap, for example, the index receiver can gain exposure to stocks making up the index of securities without actually purchasing those stocks. Total return swaps involve not only the risk associated with the investment in the underlying securities, but also the risk of the counterparty not fulfilling its obligations under the agreement.

 

Credit Default Swaps. The Funds may enter into credit default swaps for investment purposes. A credit default swap may have as reference obligations one or more securities that are not currently held by the Funds. The Funds may be either the buyer or seller in the transaction. Credit default swaps may also be structured based on the debt of a basket of issuers, rather than a single issuer, and may be customized with respect to the default event that triggers purchase or other factors. As a seller, a Fund would generally receive an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap, which typically is between six months and three years, provided that there is no credit event. If a credit event occurs, generally the seller must pay the buyer the full face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference obligations that may have little or no value. If a Fund were a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Funds would recover nothing if the swap is held through its termination date. However, if a credit event occurs, the buyer may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference obligation that may have little or no value. The use of swaps by a Fund entails certain risks, which may be different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the securities and other investments that are the referenced asset for the swaps. Swaps are highly specialized instruments that require investment techniques, risk analyses, and tax planning different from those associated with stocks, bonds, and other traditional investments. The use of a swap requires an understanding not only of the referenced asset, reference rate, or index, but also of the swap itself, without the benefit of observing the performance of the swap under all the possible market conditions. Because some swaps have a leverage component, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate, or index can result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the swap itself. Certain swaps have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment.

Each Fund may also purchase credit default swaps in order to hedge against the risk of default of the debt of a particular issuer or basket of issuers, in which case the Fund would function as the counterparty referenced in the preceding paragraph. This would involve the risk that the investment may expire worthless and would only generate income in the event of an actual default by the issuer(s) of the underlying obligation(s) (or, as applicable, a credit downgrade or other indication of financial instability). It would also involve the risk that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Fund in the event of a default. The purchase of credit default swaps involves costs, which will reduce the Fund’s return.

 

Currency Swaps. The Funds may enter into currency swaps for investment purposes. Currency swaps are similar to interest rate swaps, except that they involve multiple currencies. A Fund may enter into a currency swap when it has exposure to one currency and desires exposure to a different currency. Typically, the interest rates that determine the currency swap payments are fixed, although occasionally one or both parties may pay a floating rate of interest. Unlike an interest rate swap, however, the principal amounts are exchanged at the beginning of the contract and returned at the end of the contract. In addition to paying and receiving amounts at the beginning and termination of the agreements, both sides will also have to pay in full periodically based upon the currency they have borrowed. Change in foreign exchange rates and changes in interest rates, as described above, may negatively affect currency swaps.

 

Interest Rate Swaps. Each Fund may enter into an interest rate swap in an effort to protect against declines in the value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. In such an instance, the Fund may agree to pay a fixed rate (multiplied by a notional amount) while a counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate (multiplied by the same notional amount). If interest rates rise, resulting in a diminution in the value of the Fund’s portfolio, the fund would receive payments under the swap that would offset, in whole or in part, such diminution in value.

 

Options on Swaps. Each Fund may enter into options on swaps. An option on a swap, or a “swaption,” is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a new swap or to shorten, extend, cancel or otherwise modify an existing swap, at some designated future time on specified terms. In return, the purchaser pays a “premium” to the seller of the contract. The seller of the contract receives the premium and bears the risk of unfavorable changes on the underlying swap. The Funds may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions. Each Fund may also enter into swaptions on either an asset-based or liability-based basis, depending on whether the Fund is hedging its assets or its liabilities. Each Fund may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions to the same extent it may make use of standard options on securities or other instruments. A Fund may enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its holdings, as a duration management technique, to protect against an increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, or for any other purposes, such as for speculation to increase returns. Swaptions are generally subject to the same risks involved in the Fund’s use of options.

 

Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, a Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it writes a swaption than it will incur when it purchases a swaption. When a Fund purchases a swaption, it risks losing only the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the option expire unexercised. However, when a Fund writes a swaption, upon exercise of the option the Fund will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

(e) Futures Contracts

The Funds may use interest rate, foreign currency, index and other futures contracts. The Funds may use options on futures contracts. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified quantity of the security or other financial instrument at a specified price and time. A futures contract on an index is an agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract originally was written. Although the value of an index might be a function of the value of certain specified securities, physical delivery of these securities is not always made. A public market exists in futures contracts covering a number of indexes, as well as financial instruments, including, without limitation: U.S. Treasury bonds; U.S. Treasury notes; GNMA Certificates; three-month U.S. Treasury bills; 90-day commercial paper; bank certificates of deposit; Eurodollar certificates of deposit; the Australian dollar; the Canadian dollar; the British Pound; the Japanese Yen; the Swiss Franc; the Mexican Peso; and certain multinational currencies, such as the Euro. It is expected that other futures contracts will be developed and traded in the future.

 

The Funds may invest in stock index futures only as a substitute for a comparable market position in the underlying securities. A stock index future obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to accept), effectively, an amount of cash equal to a specific dollar amount times the difference between the value of a specific stock index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the agreement is made. No physical delivery of the underlying stocks in the index is made. With respect to stock indices that are permitted investments, the Fund intends to purchase and sell futures contracts on the stock index for which it can obtain the best price with consideration also given to liquidity.

 

(f) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Funds may enter into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. A forward involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains/(losses) from forward foreign currency contracts in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

(g) Illiquid Securities

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that the Funds limit their illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any security which may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If the Advisor, at any time determines that the value of illiquid securities held by a Fund exceeds 15% of its net asset value, the Advisor will take such steps as it considers appropriate to reduce them as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with the Funds’ written LRMP.

 

(h) Use of Estimates

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

(i) Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Funds.

 

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (the “Income Tax Statement”) requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Funds to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund’s current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of April 30, 2026, and during the prior three open tax years, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examinations in progress and are 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 twelve months.

 

(j) Distributions to Shareholders

The Funds will make distributions of net investment income quarterly and net capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

 

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain (loss) items for financial statement and tax purposes.

 

Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Manteio Scalable Technologies LLC. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Funds pay a monthly investment advisory fee to the Advisor based on each Fund’s average daily net assets. The annual rates are listed by Fund in the table below. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of each Fund to ensure that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding, as applicable, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with Form N-1A), professional fees related to services for the collection of foreign tax reclaims, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) do not exceed the limits (as a percentage of average daily net assets) set forth below:

In addition, the Advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive its advisory fees by 0.19% to 0.85% for Multialternative Strategy Fund until November 22, 2026, and it will not seek recoupment of the voluntary advisory fees waived. The agreement to limit annual operating expenses is in effect through February 28, 2027, with respect to each Fund and it may only be terminated or amended prior to the end of the term with the approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Any reduction in advisory fees or payment of a Fund’s expenses made by the Advisor in a fiscal year may be reimbursed by the Fund for a period ending three years after the date of reduction or payment if the Advisor so requests. This reimbursement may be requested from a Fund if the reimbursement will not cause the Fund’s annual expense ratio to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limitation in effect at the time such fees were waived or payments made, or (b) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the reimbursement. However, the reimbursement amount may not exceed the total amount of fees waived and/or Fund expenses paid by the Advisor and will not include any amounts previously reimbursed to the Advisor by the Fund. Any such reimbursement is contingent upon the Board’s subsequent review of the reimbursed amounts. A Fund must pay current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursement of fees and/or Fund expenses. For the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Advisor waived all or a portion of its advisory fee totaling $175,007 for the Managed Futures Strategy Fund, and $453,482 for the Multialternative Strategy Fund of which $193,994 was the voluntary waived advisory fee portion that the Advisor will not seek recoupment. These potential recoverable amounts are noted as “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Advisor may recapture all or a portion of these amounts no later than the dates stated below:

 

    Managed Futures Strategy Fund     Multialternative Strategy Fund  
October 31, 2028   $ 311,375     $ 443,586  
October 31, 2029     186,063       259,488  
Total   $ 497,438     $ 703,074  

 

The Advisor is responsible for each Subsidiary’s day-to-day business pursuant to an advisory agreement with each Subsidiary. Under this agreement, the Advisor provides each Subsidiary with the same type of management services, under substantially the same terms, as are provided to the Funds. The Subsidiary advisory agreement provides for automatic termination upon the termination of the investment advisory agreement with respect to each Fund. The Advisor receives no compensation for the services it provides to each Subsidiary. 

 

UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”) serves as the Funds’ fund accountant, transfer agent and co-administrator; and Mutual Fund Administration, LLC (“MFAC”) serves as the Funds’ other co-administrator. UMB Bank, n.a., an affiliate of UMBFS, serves as the Funds’ custodian. The Funds’ allocated fees incurred for fund accounting, fund administration, transfer agency and custody services for the six months ended April 30, 2026 are reported as “Fund services fees” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Funds have a fee agreement with their custodian, UMB Bank, N.A., which provides for custody fees to be reduced by earnings credit based on cash balances left on deposit with the custodian. For the six months ended April 30, 2026, the fees waived for the Managed Futures Strategy Fund and Multialternative Strategy Fund were $0 and $30,793, respectively. These amounts are shown as a reduction of expenses, “Fees paid indirectly” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Distribution Services, LLC, serves as the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”). The Distributor does not receive compensation from the Fund for its distribution services except the distribution/service fees with respect to the shares of those classes for which a Rule 12b-1 distribution plan is effective. The Advisor pays the Distributor a fee for certain distribution-related services.

 

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are employees of UMBFS or MFAC. The Funds do not compensate trustees and officers affiliated with the Funds’ co-administrators. For the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Managed Futures Strategy Fund and Multialternative Strategy Fund allocated fees incurred to Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (collectively, the “Independent Trustees”) are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The Funds’ Board of Trustees has adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for the Independent Trustees that enables Trustees to elect to receive payment in cash or the option to select various fund(s) in the Trust in which their deferred accounts shall be deemed to be invested. If a trustee elects to defer payment, the Plan provides for the creation of a deferred payment account. The Funds’ liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes in the invested fund and remains a liability to the Funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The Trustees’ Deferred compensation liability under the Plan constitutes a general unsecured obligation of the Funds and is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Contributions made under the plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in the Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Dziura Compliance Consulting, LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) services to the Trust. The Managed Futures Strategy Fund and Multialternative Strategy Fund allocated fees incurred for CCO services for the six months ended April 30, 2026 are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Note 4 – Federal Income Taxes

 

At April 30, 2026, gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

    Managed Futures Strategy Fund     Multialternative Strategy Fund  
Cost of investments   $ 25,219,684     $ 192,312,126  
                 
Gross unrealized appreciation   $ 1,106     $ 5,249,416  
Gross unrealized depreciation     (1,499 )     (11,130,393 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)   $ (393 )   $ (5,880,977 )

 

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to wash sale loss and straddle loss deferrals.

 

Note 5 – Investment Transactions

For the six months ended April 30, 2026, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were as follows:

 

    Purchases     Sales

Note 6 – Distribution and Service (Rule 12b-1) Plan

The Trust has adopted a plan on behalf of the Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 which allows each Fund to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of its Class A shares and Class C shares and/or shareholder liaison service fees in connection with the provision of personal services to shareholders of Class A shares and Class C shares and the maintenance of their shareholder accounts. The 12b-1 Plan provides for the payment of such fees at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares and up to 1.00% of average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. Since these fees are paid out of each Fund’s assets attributable to the Fund’s Class A shares and Class C shares, these fees will increase the cost of your investment and, over time, may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. The net income attributable to Class A shares and Class C shares will be reduced by the amount of distribution and shareholder liaison service fees and other expenses of a Fund associated with that class of shares. For the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Managed Futures Strategy Fund and Multialternative Strategy Fund distribution fees incurred are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Note 7 – Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which 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, the Funds expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or a liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.

Under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad Levels as described 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 availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

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 in its entirety.

 

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, as of April 30, 2026, in valuing the Funds’ assets carried at fair value:

Note 9 – Derivatives and Hedging Disclosures

 

Derivatives and Hedging requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds’ derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effects on the Funds’ financial position and performance.

 

The effects of these derivative instruments on the Funds’ financial position and financial performance as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Consolidated Statements of Operations are presented in the tables below.

Note 10 - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented.

 

A Fund mitigates credit risk with respect to OTC derivative counterparties through credit support annexes included with International Swaps and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements or other Master Netting Agreements which are the standard contracts governing most derivative transactions between the Funds and each of its counterparties. These agreements allow the Funds and each counterparty to offset certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables against each other and/or with collateral, which is generally held by the Funds’ custodian. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts specified in the agreement. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

 

The Fund’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities presents financial instruments on a gross basis, therefore there are no net amounts and no offset amounts within the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities to present below. Gross amounts of the financial instruments, amounts related to financial instruments/cash collateral not offset in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and net amounts are presented below:

Note 11 – Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks

Certain local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness and/or other public health issues, financial institution instability or other events may have a significant impact on a security or instrument. These types of events and other like them are collectively referred to as “Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks” and they 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, supply chain disruptions, tariffs, bank failures, restrictions to investment and/or monetary movement including the forced selling of securities or the inability to participate impacted markets. The duration of these events could adversely affect the Funds’ performance, the performance of the securities in which the Funds invest and may lead to losses on your investment. The ultimate impact of “Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks” on the financial performance of the Funds’ investments is not reasonably estimable at this time. Management is actively monitoring these events.

 

Note 12 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In the reporting period, the Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard is an annual disclosure requirement and Fund Management is evaluating the impacts of these changes to the Funds’ financial statements.

 

Note 13 – Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End

The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules regarding subsequent events which require an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. Management has evaluated the Funds’ related events and transactions that occurred through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements.

Based on the recommendation of the Advisor, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the reorganization of the Mast Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) into an exchange-traded fund (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization of the Fund is subject to approval by its shareholders and will occur pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby the Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the Mast HedgeIndex Managed Futures Strategy ETF (the “ETF”), a newly created series of the Trust.

 

There will be no change in the Fund’s investment objective or portfolio management in connection with the Reorganization, and the ETF will have substantially similar investment strategies as the Fund. Following the Reorganization, the Advisor will serve as the investment advisor to the ETF. The Reorganization is not generally expected to result in the recognition of gain or loss by the Fund or its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes (except with respect to cash received by shareholders in lieu of fractional shares, if any, or with respect to redemptions of shares held through an account that is not permitted to hold ETF shares may result in the recognition of gain or loss for federal tax purposes). The costs of the Reorganization will be borne by the Advisor.

 

At the meeting held on May 22, 2026, shareholders of the Fund approved the Reorganization and the results of the shareholder meeting are as follows:

 

  Shares Voted % of Voted % of Total
For 2,978,176.096 99.952% 72.014%
Against 331.374 0.011% 0.008%
Abstain/Withheld 1,105.308 0.037% 0.026%
Total 2,979,612.778 100.000% 72.048%

 

The Reorganization is expected to take effect in the third quarter of 2026.

 

There were no other events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements.
