Multi-Strategy Fund
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 2024
1. | ORGANIZATION |
Altegris/Crabel Multi-Strategy Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Fund Trust (the Trust), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 19, 2005 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on December 30, 2022 and seeks long term capital appreciation by allocating its assets among multiple investment strategies with a goal of delivering an all weather solution that has the potential to provide positive returns in all market environments.
The Fund offers Class A and Class I shares. Class A shares are offered at net asset value (NAV) plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75% and are subject to 12b-1. Investors that purchase $1,000,000 or more of the Funds Class A shares will not pay any initial sales charge on the purchase; however, may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on shares redeemed during the first 18 months after their purchase in the amount of the commissions paid on the shares redeemed. Class I shares of the Fund are sold at NAV without an initial sales charge and are not subject to distribution fees, but have a higher minimum initial investment than Class A shares. Each share class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Funds income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class of the Fund.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The 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.
Security Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE). Futures, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the settlement price determined by the exchange. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value).
The Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Adviser as its valuation designee (the Valuation Designee). The Valuation Designee may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, which approval shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.
Fair Valuation Process – The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a significant event) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Funds calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine, the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Funds holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
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 in 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 Funds 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 necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table summarizes the level of inputs used as of June 30, 2024, for the Funds assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities as of June 30, 2024.
Consolidation of Subsidiary – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACMS Fund Limited (ACMS or CFC), a wholly-owned and controlled foreign subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a controlled foreign corporation (CFC), which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Funds investment objectives and policies. As of June 30, 2024 the Fund had net assets of $349,115 invested in ACMS representing 9.63% of the net assets of the Fund.
For tax purposes, the CFC is an exempted Cayman investment company. The CFC has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the CFC is a controlled foreign corporation which generates no income which is considered effectively connected with U.S. trade of business and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned controlled foreign corporation, the CFCs net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Funds investment company taxable income.
Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on ex-dividend date and determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Federal Income Taxes – It is the Funds policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been recorded.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for the open tax year ended December 31, 2023, or expected to be taken in the Funds December 31, 2024, year-end tax return. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio, and any foreign jurisdiction where the Fund makes

significant investments; 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 twelve months.
Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.
Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, if the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities, the Funds 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, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.
Market and Geopolitical Risk - The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in a Funds portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions.
3. | INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS |
The cost of purchases and the proceeds for the Fund from sales of investments, other than short-term investments and U.S. Government securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were as follows:
Purchases | Sales | |||||
$ | — | $ | — |
During the normal course of business, the Fund purchases and sells various financial instruments, which may result in market, liquidity and currency risks, the amount of which is not apparent from the consolidated financial statements.
Market Risk: Market risk is the risk that changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates or equity prices will affect the positions held by the Fund. The Fund is exposed to market risk on financial instruments that are valued at market prices as disclosed in the portfolio of investments. The prices of derivative instruments, including options, forwards and futures prices, can be highly volatile. Price movements of derivative contracts in which the Funds assets may be invested are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events and policies. The Fund may be exposed to market risk on derivative contracts if the Fund is not able to readily dispose of its holdings when they choose and also that the price obtained on disposal is below that at which the investment is included in its consolidated financial statements. All financial instruments are recognized at fair value, and all changes in market conditions directly affect net income. Derivative instruments and exposure to market risk will be disclosed in the Funds Portfolio of Investments.
Derivatives Risk: Futures, options, options on futures, swaps and structured notes involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: changing supply and demand relationships; government programs and policies; national and international political and economic events, changes in interest rates, inflation and deflation and changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities including:
14
Altegris/Crabel
Multi-Strategy Fund
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2024
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments. Liquidity risk may result in an inability to sell investments quickly at close to fair value. The Funds financial instruments include investments in securities which are not traded on organized public exchanges and which generally may be illiquid. As a result, the Fund may not be able to quickly liquidate its investments in these instruments at an amount close to its fair value in order to meet its liquidity requirements. The Fund does not anticipate any material losses as a result of liquidity risk.
Currency Risk: The Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into transactions that are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. Consequently, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the exchange rate of the Funds currency relative to other foreign currencies may change in a manner that has an adverse effect on the fair value or future cash flows of that portion of the Funds assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the USD.
Counterparty Risk: Counterparty risk is the risk that the Funds counterparties might default on their obligation to pay or perform generally on their obligations.
Foreign Currency Translations – All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.
The Funds investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased, the Fund generally enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. 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. The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as an investment strategy consistent with the Funds investment objective. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains (losses) from investments and forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the Statements of Operations.
Futures Contracts – The Fund is subject to equity risk, interest rate risk and forward currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Funds agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking to market on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each days trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Funds basis in the contract. If the Fund was unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. The Fund segregates cash having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

percentages with respect to the Fund (the Expense Limitations). Pursuant to the Expense Limitations, the Funds Operating Expenses will not exceed 1.99% and 1.74% through August 31, 2025 of the daily average net assets attributable to Class A and Class I shares, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Advisor waived $126,126 of advisory fees and expenses.
The Advisor may seek reimbursement only for expenses waived or paid by it during the three fiscal years prior to such reimbursement; provided, however, that such expenses may only be reimbursed to the extent they were waived or paid after the date of the waiver agreement (or any similar agreement). The Board may terminate this expense reimbursement arrangement at any time. Cumulative expenses previously waived or reimbursed subject to the aforementioned conditions will expire as presented in the table below:
December 2026 | $ | 288,909 |
The Trust has adopted, on behalf of the Fund, the Trusts Master Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the Plan) for Class A shares, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that a monthly service and/or distribution fee is calculated by the Fund at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. The fee is paid to Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the Distributor) to provide compensation for ongoing distribution-related activities or services and/or maintenance of the Funds shareholder accounts, not otherwise required to be provided by the Advisor. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, pursuant to the Plan, Class A shares paid the amount of $14.
The Distributor acts as the Funds principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds Class A and Class I shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, for Class A shares, the Distributor received $0 in underwriting commissions for sales of the Fund, of which $0 was retained by the principal underwriter for the Fund.

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income, and unrealized appreciation from investments is primarily attributable to the mark-to-market on open Section 1256 and foreign currency contracts and tax adjustments for the Funds holding in ACMS Fund Limited.
The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency gains of $417.
Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of $ 118,573.
Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the Funds holding in ACMS Fund Limited, resulted in reclassifications for the Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as follows:

Capital | Deficit | |||||
$ | (9,742 | ) | $ | 9,742 |
7. | BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP |
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the outstanding shares of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of June 30,2024, Charles Schwab and Co. Inc. was the record owner of 40.82% of the Funds outstanding shares. Charles Schwab and Co. Inc. may be the beneficial owner of some or all the shares or may hold the shares for the benefit of others. As a result, Charles Schwab and Co. Inc. may be deemed to control the Fund.
8. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
