How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

Stocks continued positive momentum through the 2nd quarter to post strong first-half gains. While the large cap S&P 500 was again the leader, a small group of stocks in the index delivered most of the outperformance. Nvidia has almost singlehandedly pushed the S&P 500 far beyond the results of other global indices year to date (YTD). As the size of Nvidia grew, the representation in the TOPS portfolios also increased. Fortunately, in the case of NVIDIA, this has richly rewarded our investors. Nvidia represents roughly 12% of the exposure in the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF, a top holding in the TOPS allocations. The Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate Bond Index finished the first half slightly negative. However, the bond positioning in the Portfolios has significantly benefited investors, as the portfolio management team's portfolio decisions resulted in a positive return YTD for fixed income, outperforming the index by about 1%, depending on the portfolio. Most equities remain positive for the year. Growth stocks (S&P 500 Growth) are outperforming value stocks (S&P 500 Value), returning +23.6% and +5.8%, respectively. Midcap (S&P 400, +6.2%) has outperformed small cap (S&P 600, -0.7%) year-to-date. Emerging markets (MSCI Emerging Markets) have returned +7.5%, outpacing developed international (MSCI EAFE), which has returned +5.3%. Natural resources (S&P GSSI NA Natural Resources, +9.6%) is up for the year, while real estate (MSCO World Real Estate, -3.0%) is down so far this year.

Year-to-date, the Barclay’s US TIPS Index had a +0.7% return, while the Barclay’s US Aggregate Bond Index was down -0.7%. Credit (ICE BofA US Corporate Index, +0.0%) has outperformed government (ICE BofA US Treasury Index, -0.8%) so far this year. Investment grade corporates (iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index, -1.2%) and international bond indexes (Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD,    -0.3%) are negative on the year, while high yield (Solactive USD High Yield Corporates, +2.2%) is positive. The 10-year US Treasury yield increased from 3.88% to 4.36% in the first half of the year.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

Stocks continued positive momentum through the 2nd quarter to post strong first-half gains. While the large cap S&P 500 was again the leader, a small group of stocks in the index delivered most of the outperformance. Nvidia has almost singlehandedly pushed the S&P 500 far beyond the results of other global indices year to date (YTD). As the size of Nvidia grew, the representation in the TOPS portfolios also increased. Fortunately, in the case of NVIDIA, this has richly rewarded our investors. Nvidia represents roughly 12% of the exposure in the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF, a top holding in the TOPS allocations. The Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate Bond Index finished the first half slightly negative. However, the bond positioning in the Portfolios has significantly benefited investors, as the portfolio management team's portfolio decisions resulted in a positive return YTD for fixed income, outperforming the index by about 1%, depending on the portfolio. Most equities remain positive for the year. Growth stocks (S&P 500 Growth) are outperforming value stocks (S&P 500 Value), returning +23.6% and +5.8%, respectively. Midcap (S&P 400, +6.2%) has outperformed small cap (S&P 600, -0.7%) year-to-date. Emerging markets (MSCI Emerging Markets) have returned +7.5%, outpacing developed international (MSCI EAFE), which has returned +5.3%. Natural resources (S&P GSSI NA Natural Resources, +9.6%) is up for the year, while real estate (MSCO World Real Estate, -3.0%) is down so far this year.

Year-to-date, the Barclay’s US TIPS Index had a +0.7% return, while the Barclay’s US Aggregate Bond Index was down -0.7%. Credit (ICE BofA US Corporate Index, +0.0%) has outperformed government (ICE BofA US Treasury Index, -0.8%) so far this year. Investment grade corporates (iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index, -1.2%) and international bond indexes (Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD,    -0.3%) are negative on the year, while high yield (Solactive USD High Yield Corporates, +2.2%) is positive. The 10-year US Treasury yield increased from 3.88% to 4.36% in the first half of the year.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

Stocks continued positive momentum through the 2nd quarter to post strong first-half gains. While the large cap S&P 500 was again the leader, a small group of stocks in the index delivered most of the outperformance. Nvidia has almost singlehandedly pushed the S&P 500 far beyond the results of other global indices year to date (YTD). As the size of Nvidia grew, the representation in the TOPS portfolios also increased. Fortunately, in the case of NVIDIA, this has richly rewarded our investors. Nvidia represents roughly 12% of the exposure in the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF, a top holding in the TOPS allocations. The Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate Bond Index finished the first half slightly negative. However, the bond positioning in the Portfolios has significantly benefited investors, as the portfolio management team's portfolio decisions resulted in a positive return YTD for fixed income, outperforming the index by about 1%, depending on the portfolio. Most equities remain positive for the year. Growth stocks (S&P 500 Growth) are outperforming value stocks (S&P 500 Value), returning +23.6% and +5.8%, respectively. Midcap (S&P 400, +6.2%) has outperformed small cap (S&P 600, -0.7%) year-to-date. Emerging markets (MSCI Emerging Markets) have returned +7.5%, outpacing developed international (MSCI EAFE), which has returned +5.3%. Natural resources (S&P GSSI NA Natural Resources, +9.6%) is up for the year, while real estate (MSCO World Real Estate, -3.0%) is down so far this year.

Year-to-date, the Barclay’s US TIPS Index had a +0.7% return, while the Barclay’s US Aggregate Bond Index was down -0.7%. Credit (ICE BofA US Corporate Index, +0.0%) has outperformed government (ICE BofA US Treasury Index, -0.8%) so far this year. Investment grade corporates (iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index, -1.2%) and international bond indexes (Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD,    -0.3%) are negative on the year, while high yield (Solactive USD High Yield Corporates, +2.2%) is positive. The 10-year US Treasury yield increased from 3.88% to 4.36% in the first half of the year.

Stocks continued positive momentum through the 2nd quarter to post strong first-half gains. While the large cap S&P 500 was again the leader, a small group of stocks in the index delivered most of the outperformance. Nvidia has almost singlehandedly pushed the S&P 500 far beyond the results of other global indices year to date (YTD). As the size of Nvidia grew, the representation in the TOPS portfolios also increased. Fortunately, in the case of NVIDIA, this has richly rewarded our investors. Nvidia represents roughly 12% of the exposure in the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF, a top holding in the TOPS allocations. The Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate Bond Index finished the first half slightly negative. However, the bond positioning in the Portfolios has significantly benefited investors, as the portfolio management team's portfolio decisions resulted in a positive return YTD for fixed income, outperforming the index by about 1%, depending on the portfolio. Most equities remain positive for the year. Growth stocks (S&P 500 Growth) are outperforming value stocks (S&P 500 Value), returning +23.6% and +5.8%, respectively. Midcap (S&P 400, +6.2%) has outperformed small cap (S&P 600, -0.7%) year-to-date. Emerging markets (MSCI Emerging Markets) have returned +7.5%, outpacing developed international (MSCI EAFE), which has returned +5.3%. Natural resources (S&P GSSI NA Natural Resources, +9.6%) is up for the year, while real estate (MSCO World Real Estate, -3.0%) is down so far this year.

Year-to-date, the Barclay’s US TIPS Index had a +0.7% return, while the Barclay’s US Aggregate Bond Index was down -0.7%. Credit (ICE BofA US Corporate Index, +0.0%) has outperformed government (ICE BofA US Treasury Index, -0.8%) so far this year.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

Stocks continued positive momentum through the 2nd quarter to post strong first-half gains. While the large cap S&P 500 was again the leader, a small group of stocks in the index delivered most of the outperformance. Nvidia has almost singlehandedly pushed the S&P 500 far beyond the results of other global indices year to date (YTD). As the size of Nvidia grew, the representation in the TOPS portfolios also increased. Fortunately, in the case of NVIDIA, this has richly rewarded our investors. Nvidia represents roughly 12% of the exposure in the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF, a top holding in the TOPS allocations. The Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate Bond Index finished the first half slightly negative. However, the bond positioning in the Portfolios has significantly benefited investors, as the portfolio management team's portfolio decisions resulted in a positive return YTD for fixed income, outperforming the index by about 1%, depending on the portfolio. Most equities remain positive for the year. Growth stocks (S&P 500 Growth) are outperforming value stocks (S&P 500 Value), returning +23.6% and +5.8%, respectively. Midcap (S&P 400, +6.2%) has outperformed small cap (S&P 600, -0.7%) year-to-date. Emerging markets (MSCI Emerging Markets) have returned +7.5%, outpacing developed international (MSCI EAFE), which has returned +5.3%. Natural resources (S&P GSSI NA Natural Resources, +9.6%) is up for the year, while real estate (MSCO World Real Estate, -3.0%) is down so far this year.

Year-to-date, the Barclay’s US TIPS Index had a +0.7% return, while the Barclay’s US Aggregate Bond Index was down -0.7%. Credit (ICE BofA US Corporate Index, +0.0%) has outperformed government (ICE BofA US Treasury Index, -0.8%) so far this year. Investment grade corporates (iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index, -1.2%) and international bond indexes (Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD,    -0.3%) are negative on the year, while high yield (Solactive USD High Yield Corporates, +2.2%) is positive. The 10-year US Treasury yield increased from 3.88% to 4.36% in the first half of the year.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

Stocks continued positive momentum through the 2nd quarter to post strong first-half gains. While the large cap S&P 500 was again the leader, a small group of stocks in the index delivered most of the outperformance. Nvidia has almost singlehandedly pushed the S&P 500 far beyond the results of other global indices year to date (YTD). As the size of Nvidia grew, the representation in the TOPS portfolios also increased. Fortunately, in the case of NVIDIA, this has richly rewarded our investors. Nvidia represents roughly 12% of the exposure in the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF, a top holding in the TOPS allocations. The Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate Bond Index finished the first half slightly negative. However, the bond positioning in the Portfolios has significantly benefited investors, as the portfolio management team's portfolio decisions resulted in a positive return YTD for fixed income, outperforming the index by about 1%, depending on the portfolio. Most equities remain positive for the year. Growth stocks (S&P 500 Growth) are outperforming value stocks (S&P 500 Value), returning +23.6% and +5.8%, respectively. Midcap (S&P 400, +6.2%) has outperformed small cap (S&P 600, -0.7%) year-to-date. Emerging markets (MSCI Emerging Markets) have returned +7.5%, outpacing developed international (MSCI EAFE), which has returned +5.3%. Natural resources (S&P GSSI NA Natural Resources, +9.6%) is up for the year, while real estate (MSCO World Real Estate, -3.0%) is down so far this year.

Year-to-date, the Barclay’s US TIPS Index had a +0.7% return, while the Barclay’s US Aggregate Bond Index was down -0.7%. Credit (ICE BofA US Corporate Index, +0.0%) has outperformed government (ICE BofA US Treasury Index, -0.8%) so far this year. Investment grade corporates (iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index, -1.2%) and international bond indexes (Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD,    -0.3%) are negative on the year, while high yield (Solactive USD High Yield Corporates, +2.2%) is positive. The 10-year US Treasury yield increased from 3.88% to 4.36% in the first half of the year.

While the large cap S&P 500 was again the leader, a small group of stocks in the index delivered most of the outperformance. Nvidia has almost singlehandedly pushed the S&P 500 far beyond the results of other global indices year to date (YTD).

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The TOPS® ETF Portfolios (each a “Portfolio”, collectively the “Portfolios”) are comprised of five different actively managed portfolios. Each Portfolio is a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Variable Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized on November 2, 2005 under the laws of the State of Delaware and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Portfolios are intended to be funding vehicles for variable annuity contracts and flexible premium variable life insurance policies offered by the separate accounts of various insurance companies. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Portfolio in which shares are held. Each Portfolio pays its own expenses. The TOPS® ETF Portfolios are “fund of funds”, in that the Portfolios will generally invest in other investment companies. The investment objective of each Portfolio is as follows:

 

Portfolio Primary Objective
   
Aggressive Growth ETF Portfolio Capital appreciation.
   
Balanced ETF Portfolio Income and capital appreciation.
   
Conservative ETF Portfolio Preserve capital and provide moderate income and moderate capital appreciation.
   
Growth ETF Portfolio Capital appreciation.
   
Moderate Growth ETF Portfolio Capital appreciation.
   

The Portfolios currently offer four classes of shares: Class 1 Shares, Class 2 Shares, Investor Class Shares and Service Class Shares. Each class of shares of the Portfolios has identical rights and privileges except with respect to arrangements pertaining to shareholder servicing or distribution, class-related expenses, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares. The Portfolios’ share classes differ in the fees and expenses charged to shareholders. The Portfolios’ 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.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Portfolios are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services Investment Companies”, including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.

 

Securities Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary 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 (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on the day of valuation. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

 

Valuation of Funds of Funds – The Portfolios may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Open-end investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based on the methods established by the boards of directors or trustees of the open-end investment companies.

TOPS® ETF Portfolios
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2024
 

The Portfolios 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 are valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has designated the adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to execute these procedures. The Board may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, approval of which 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 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 asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked 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 affects 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 Portfolio’s 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 Portfolios’ 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.

 

Each Portfolio 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 that the Portfolios have 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 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 Portfolios’ 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.

40

 

TOPS® ETF Portfolios
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2024
 

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 tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2024 for each Portfolio’s investments measured at fair value:

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. 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 paid annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards) 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. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results from operations or net asset values per share of the Portfolios.

 

Federal Income Tax – It is each Portfolio’s 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 their taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

Each Portfolio will recognize 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 Portfolios’ 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 open tax years ended December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2023 or expected to be taken in the Portfolios’ December 31, 2024 year-end tax returns. Each Portfolio identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolio makes significant investments. The Portfolios are 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.

 

Exchange Traded Funds – The Portfolios may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). An ETF is a type of open-end fund, however, unlike a mutual fund, its shares are bought and sold on a securities exchange at market price and only certain financial institutions called authorized participants may buy and redeem shares of the ETF at net asset value. ETF shares can trade at either a premium or discount to net asset value. Each ETF like a mutual fund is subject to specific risks depending on the type of strategy (actively managed or passively tracking an index) and the composition of its underlying holdings. Investing in an ETF involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the ETF’s underlying holdings. ETFs pay fees and incur operating expenses, which reduce the total return earned by the ETFs from their underlying holdings. An ETF may not achieve its investment objective or execute its investment strategy effectively, which may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.

 

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific portfolio are charged to that portfolio. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific portfolio, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the portfolios 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, the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnities. Each Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Portfolios expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

 

Security Loans – The Portfolios have entered into a securities lending arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Borrower”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Portfolios are authorized to loan securities to the Borrower. In exchange, the Portfolios receive cash and securities as collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments as noted in the Schedules of Investments. Securities received as collateral are U.S. government securities; securities received as collateral, if any, are not recognized as portfolios assets. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Portfolios could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the Borrower fails to return them.

Gain or loss in the fair value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of each Portfolio. Each Portfolio has the right under the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the Borrower on demand. If the fair value of the collateral falls below 102% plus accrued interest of the loaned securities, the lender’s agent shall request additional collateral from the Borrower to bring the collateralization back to 102%. Under the terms of the securities lending agreement, each Portfolio is indemnified for such losses by the security lending agreement. Should the Borrower fail financially, the Portfolios have the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market.

 

The following table is a summary of the Portfolios’ securities loaned and related collateral which are subject to a netting agreement as of June 30, 2024:

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

ValMark Advisers, Inc. serves as the Portfolios’ investment advisor (the “Advisor”). The Advisor has engaged Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC as the Portfolios’ sub-advsior (the “Sub-Advisor”). Pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily investment operations of the Portfolios and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Advisor, the Portfolios pay the Advisor a management fee, computed on average daily net assets and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.10% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets. For the six months period ended June 30, 2024, the Portfolios paid the following in advisory fees.

The Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, has adopted the Trust’s Master Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (“12b-1 Plan” or “Plan”) for each of Class 2 shares and Investor Class shares. The fee is calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to each Portfolio’s Class 2 shares and Investor Class shares, respectively, and is paid to Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) to provide compensation for ongoing shareholder servicing and distribution related activities and/or maintenance of each Portfolio’s shareholder accounts, not otherwise required to be provided by the Advisor. For the six months period ended June 30, 2024, the Portfolios paid the following in distribution fees under the Plan.

In addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Portfolios as follows:

 

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Trust. Pursuant to the terms of an administrative servicing agreement with UFS, each Portfolio pays to UFS a monthly fee for all operating expenses of the Portfolio, which is calculated by each Portfolio on its average daily net assets. Operating expenses include but are not limited to Fund Accounting, Fund Administration, Transfer Agency, Legal Fees, Audit Fees, Compliance Services, Shareholder Reporting Expenses, Trustees Fees and Custody Fees.

 

For the six months period ended June 30, 2024, the Trustees received fees in the amount of $9,791 on behalf of each Portfolio.
