NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
|
A.
|
Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
|
|
B.
|
Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required.
|
|
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 Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The tax returns for the Fund for the prior three
fiscal years are open for examination. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Delaware.

|
C.
|
Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions: Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities
sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities
are amortized using the effective interest method.
|
|
The Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income, if any, which is declared daily as a dividend and paid monthly. Any net capital gain realized by the Fund will be distributed
annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders
from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within
the capital accounts based on their federal tax treatment.
|
||
The Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to it, such as investment advisory, custody and transfer agent fees. Expenses that are not attributable to a Fund are
typically allocated among the funds in the Trust proportionately based on allocation methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust based on a fund’s
respective net assets, or by other equitable means.
|
||
D.
|
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
E.
|
Redemption Fees: The Fund does not charge redemption fees to shareholders.
|
|
F.
|
Reclassification of Capital Accounts: GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between
financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
|
|
G.
|
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End: In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and through the date the financial statements
were available to be issued, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and concluded that no additional disclosures are necessary.
