* The performance data quoted here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemptions of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance figures for periods greater than 1 year are annualized. Tactical Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least through April 30, 2024, to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waivers and reimbursements (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, interest, borrowing expenses, distribution fees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 Plans, shareholder service fees pursuant to a Shareholder Service Plan, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees and commissions, dividend expenses on short sales, litigation expenses, expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of such Fund’s business) will not exceed 1.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to recoupment from the Fund within three years of the date on which the waiver or reimbursement occurs, provided that the recoupment payments do not cause Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed (i) the expense limitation then in effect, if any, and (ii) the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be repaid were incurred. This agreement may be terminated only by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), on 60 days’ written notice to the Fund’s Adviser. Per the Fund’s most recent prospectus, total annual Fund estimated expenses after waivers are 2.69% and 2.44% for Class A shares and Class I shares, respectively. Without waiver the expense ratios are 2.86%, and 2.61% for Class A shares and Class I shares, respectively. For performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call toll-free 1-833-974-3787.
** The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a widely-used indicator of the bond market. The index is market capitalization-weighted and is made up of U.S. bonds that are primarily investment grade and has a greater number of securities than is found in the Fund’s portfolio. Individuals cannot invest directly in the Index; however, an individual can invest in exchange-traded funds or other investment vehicles that attempt to track the performance of a benchmark index. The annual total returns included for the above Fund are net of the total annual operating expenses for the Fund, while no annual operating expenses are deducted for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

1. ORGANIZATION
The TFA Tactical Income Fund (“Income Fund”), Tactical Growth Allocation Fund (“Growth Fund”), TFA Quantitative Fund (“Quantitative Fund”) and TFA AlphaGen Growth Fund (“AlphaGen Fund”), (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are organized as diversified series of the Tactical Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is an open-end investment company established under the laws of Delaware. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value. The Funds are the only series currently authorized by the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”). Each Fund commenced operations (excluding the AlphaGen Fund), on August 20, 2021, as a result of a reorganization in which each Fund assumed all of the assets and liabilities of its respective predecessor fund, as discussed in the Trust’s most recent Statement of Additional Information. Each Fund (except the AlphaGen Fund and Income Fund) has substantially similar investment strategies as its predecessor fund. Each Fund (including the Income Fund but excluding the AlphaGen Fund) has adopted the historical performance of its respective predecessor fund. The AlphaGen Fund commenced investment operations on August 23, 2021.
The adviser to the Funds is Tactical Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”). The sub-advisers to the Funds are as follows (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively the “Sub-Advisers”):
Fund |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of each Fund’s significant accounting policies. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
As an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, the Funds follow accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
SECURITY VALUATIONS: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
SECURITY TRANSACTION TIMING: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recognized on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividend income is recorded at fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Funds use the specific identification method in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with each Funds’ understanding of the appropriate country’s rules and tax rates.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Funds make no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Funds have qualified and intend to qualify each year as regulated investment companies (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of their taxable income. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
43
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2020, 2021 and 2022) or expected to be taken on each Fund’s 2023 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal, however the Funds 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 12 months.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Each Fund typically distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized gains in the form of dividends and taxable capital gains to its shareholders. The Funds intend to distribute dividends and capital gains at least annually. Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income taxes purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value (“NAV”) per share of a Fund.
SHORT SALES: A Fund may sell a security that it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which a Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale. A Fund is also subject to the risk that it may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially in excess of the last quoted price. A Fund’s borrowing agreements with broker-dealers are not subject to master netting or similar agreements or collateral agreements. A Fund is liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. Such amounts are recorded on the ex-dividend date as a dividend or interest expense.
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 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.
44
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
OPTIONS: The Funds may invest in put and call options. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by a Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining if a Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by a Fund. A Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
The Funds may utilize call and put options to attempt to protect against possible changes in the market value of securities held in or to be purchased for a Fund’s portfolio and to generate income or gain for a Fund. The ability of a Fund to successfully utilize options will depend on the Adviser’s ability to predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The Funds will comply with applicable regulatory requirements when implementing these techniques and instruments. See Note 7 for additional disclosures related to derivative instruments.
EXPENSES: Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust will be allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Trustees).
SHARE CLASS ACCOUNTING: Investment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated to the two classes of shares of the Income and Growth Funds on the basis of the daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that share class.
SHARE VALUATION: Each Fund’s NAV is calculated once daily for each class of shares, at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. The net assets are determined by totaling the value of all portfolio securities, cash and other assets held by a Fund, and subtracting from that total all liabilities, including accrued expenses. The total net assets for each class, are divided by the total number of shares outstanding for each class, to determine the NAV of each share.

Processes and Structure
The Board has adopted guidelines for valuing securities including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Valuation Designee (as described below) the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board.
Fair Value Pricing Policy
The SEC recently adopted Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), which establishes an updated regulatory framework for registered investment company fair valuation practices. Under the new rule a greater number of the Funds’ securities may be subject to fair value pricing. The Funds’ fair value policies and procedures and valuation practices were updated to comply with Rule 2a-5. Specifically, the Board designated the Adviser as the Funds’ “Valuation Designee” to make fair value determinations. The Adviser acts through its Rule 2a-5 Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) in accordance with the Trust’s and the Adviser’s policies and procedures (collectively, the “Valuation Procedures”). While fair value determinations will be based upon all available factors that the Valuation Designee deems relevant at the time of the determination, fair value represents only a good faith approximation of the value of an asset or liability.
If market quotations are not readily available, the security will be valued at fair value (the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale) as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee (“Fair Value Pricing”), subject to oversight by the Board. The Valuation Designee must use reasonable diligence in determining whether market quotations are readily available. If, for example, the Valuation Designee determines that one source of market value is unreliable, the Valuation Designee must diligently seek market quotations from other sources, such as other brokers or pricing services, before concluding that market quotations are not available. Fair Value Pricing is not permitted when market quotations are readily available.
Fixed income securities generally are valued using market quotations provided by a pricing service. If the Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, may be valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, when the Board has determined that it will represent fair value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
The Fund’s policies regarding fair value pricing are intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects portfolio security values as of the time of pricing. A portfolio security’s fair value price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using a Fund’s normal pricing procedure, and may differ substantially from the price at which the portfolio security may ultimately be traded or sold. If such fair value price differs from the price that would have been determined using a Fund’s normal pricing procedures, a shareholder may receive more or less proceeds or shares from redemptions or purchases of Fund shares, respectively, than a shareholder would have otherwise received if the portfolio security was priced using a Fund’s normal pricing procedures. The performance of a Fund may also be affected if a portfolio security’s fair value price were to differ from the security’s price using a Fund’s normal pricing procedures.
Fair Value Measurements
GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-tier hierarchy seeks to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect each Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Equity securities (domestic and foreign common stocks and exchange-traded funds/notes) – Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange-traded funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and that are categorized in Level 2. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized in Level 2.
Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values
47
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
(generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based upon the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed end investment company purchased by a Fund will not change.
Derivative instruments (put and call options) – Under normal circumstances, options are valued at the closing bid and ask quotations on the valuation date. On days when the closing market quotations are not considered to be reflective of fair value, options will be valued at the average of the bid and ask quotations on the valuation date. These securities will be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy if valued at other than closing price.
Fixed income securities (corporate bonds) – The fair value of fixed income securities is estimated using various techniques, which may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (when observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. Although most fixed income securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances when lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in Level 3.
Money market funds – Money market funds are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the money market fund. The money market funds will be categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board, the Valuation Designee reports all fair valued securities to the Board at least quarterly. The Board monitors and evaluates the Fund’s use of fair value pricing. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
•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.
48
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
•Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that 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 the security.
The following tables present information about each Fund’s investments measured at fair value as of June 30, 2023, by major security type:

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
INVESTMENT ADVISER: Under the terms of a management agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, with respect to the Funds (the “Agreement”), the Adviser, subject to the oversight of the Board, provides investment advice as it deems advisable and will furnish a continuous investment program for the Funds consistent with each Fund’s investment objective and policies. As compensation for its management services, each Fund is obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.30% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. The Adviser delegates daily management of the Funds’ assets to multiple sub-advisers. The Adviser is responsible for the overall management of the Funds, supervision of the sub-advisers, and for determining the amount of each Fund’s assets that each sub-adviser will manage. The Adviser, not the Funds, pays each sub-adviser.
The Agreement continues for an initial term of two years and is renewed annually thereafter, provided that continuance is approved at least annually by specific approval of the Board or by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund. In either event, it must also be approved by a majority of the Trustees who are neither parties to the agreement nor interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, at a meeting called for
50

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
the purpose of voting on such approval. The Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds on not more than 60 days, written notice to the Adviser. In the event of its assignment, the Agreement will terminate automatically.
Effective May 1, 2022, the Adviser had contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least through April 30, 2023, to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waivers and reimbursements (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, interest, borrowing expenses, distribution fees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 Plans, shareholder service fees pursuant to a Shareholder Service Plan, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees and commissions, dividend expenses on short sales, litigation expenses, expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of such Fund’s business) will not exceed 1.89% and 2.14% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Class I and A shares, respectively. Effective May 1, 2023, the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least through April 30, 2024, to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waivers and reimbursements (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, interest, borrowing expenses, distribution fees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 Plans, shareholder service fees pursuant to a Shareholder Service Plan, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees and commissions, dividend expenses on short sales, litigation expenses, expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of such Fund’s business) will not exceed 1.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to recoupment from the Funds within three years of the date on which the waiver or reimbursement occurs, provided that the recoupment payments do not cause Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed (i) the expense limitation then in effect, if any, and (ii) the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be repaid were incurred. This agreement may be terminated only by the Board, on 60 days’ written notice to the Funds’ Adviser.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that may contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against a Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.
9. TAX MATTERS

Under current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31st and net ordinary losses incurred after December 31st may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of December 31, 2022, the Income Fund, Growth Fund, Quantitative Fund and AlphaGen Fund elected to defer post-October capital losses of $19,708, $1,417,228, $319,236 and $96,691, respectively
In accordance with accounting pronouncements, the Funds may record reclassifications in the capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and are designed generally to present distributable earnings on a tax basis which is considered to be more informative to the shareholder. Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the reclassifications of net investment losses, capital losses and distributions to paid-in-capital, resulted in reclassifications for the year ended December 31, 2022, as follows:

10. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2023, TD Ameritrade, Inc. held approximately 92% of the
58
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
voting securities of the Income Fund, 93% of the voting securities of the Growth Fund, 93% of the voting securities of the Quantitative Fund and 92% of the voting securities of the AlphaGen Fund and may be deemed to control the Funds.
11. MARKET RISK
Overall market risks may also affect the value of each Fund. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund’s NAV, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.
12. UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES
The Funds may invest a significant portion of their assets in shares of one or more Investment Companies (i.e., ETFs and Money Market Funds). From time to time, the Funds may invest greater than 25% of their net assets in one security. As of June 30, 2023, none of the Funds had more than 25% of their net assets invested in one security.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective August 31, 2023, the Income Fund and Growth Fund converted their Class A shares into Class I Shares through a tax-free conversion. As a result of the conversion, the Trust will no longer offer Class A shares in any Fund, and its Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 was terminated.
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no other events requiring disclosure or recognition.
14. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2022, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies the guidance in ASC 820, related to the measurement of the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions, where it eliminates
59
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
the ability to apply a discount to fair value of these securities, and introduces disclosure requirements related to such equity securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, and allows for early adoption. For RICs, such as the Fund, ASU 2022-03 will be applicable to equity securities with contractual sale restrictions executed, or modified, after the date of adoption. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund(s) and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held during the entire six-month period, January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023.
Actual Expenses
The first line of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in these Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
