The above line graph shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Income Fund’s Class I shares versus the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Income Fund’s regulatory benchmark. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a widely used indicator of the bond market.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024 (UNAUDITED)

 

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   Sub-Adviser
Income Fund  

Synergy Asset Management, LLC

Heritage Capital Advisors, LLC

Growth Fund  

Synergy Asset Management, LLC

Heritage Capital Advisors, LLC

Howard Capital Management, Inc.

Quantitative Fund  

Heritage Capital Advisors, LLC

Howard Capital Management, Inc.

AlphaGen Fund     Heritage Capital Advisors, LLC

 

Each Fund offers only Class I shares, which have no distribution fees.

 

The primary investment objective of each of the Funds is as follows:

 

Fund   Investment Objective
Income Fund   To provide high current income relative to the Fund’s benchmark, with a secondary objective of capital preservation.
Growth Fund   To provide capital appreciation.
Quantitative Fund   To provide capital appreciation.
AlphaGen Fund   To provide capital appreciation.

 

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 is 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 continue 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.

Tactical Funds 

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

JUNE 30, 2024 (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 (2021, 2022, 2023) or expected to be taken on each Fund’s 2024 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, 2024, 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.

 

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 VALUATION: Each Fund’s NAV is calculated once daily, 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, are divided by the total number of shares, to determine the NAV of each share.

 

3. SECURITY VALUATIONS

 

Fair Value Pricing Policy

The SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), which established an updated regulatory framework for registered investment company fair valuation practices. 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 Valuation Designee has determined that it will represent fair value.

Tactical Funds

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2024 (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 of valuation or NASDAQ Official Close Price. 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 (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.

 

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.

 

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.

INVESTMENT ADVISER:  Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, with respect to the Funds (the “Advisory 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 Advisory 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 the purpose of voting on such approval. The Advisory 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 Advisory Agreement will terminate automatically.

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. DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX MATTERS

 

For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned, gross appreciation, gross depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments at June 30, 2024, were as follows:

 

   

Cost 

  

Gross Appreciation 

  

Gross Depreciation 

   Net Appreciation 
Income Fund   $26,045,945   $356,597   $(153,367)  $203,230 
Growth Fund    28,331,618    3,663,962    (113,224)   3,550,738 
Quantitative Fund    45,594,792    7,838,003    (4,687)   7,833,316 
AlphaGen Fund    34,870,850    4,541,483    (685)   4,540,798 

 

The difference between the book cost and tax cost of investments of each Fund represents disallowed wash sales for tax purposes and return of capital from underlying investments.

 

Each Fund’s distributable earnings on a tax basis is determined only at the end of each fiscal year. As of December 31, 2023, each Fund’s most recent fiscal year end, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

 

    Undistributed Ordinary Income   Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains  

Capital Loss Carryforwards

  

Other Book/Tax Differences

   Unrealized Apprecation / (Depreciation)  

Total Accumulated Earnings / (Deficit)

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, 2023, the Funds elected to defer post-October capital losses as follows:

 

    Post-October Capital Losses Deferred 
Income Fund   $(579,220)
Growth Fund     
Quantitative Fund    (444,909)
AlphaGen Fund    (253,193)

 

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 in excess of accumulated earnings, resulted in reclassifications for the year ended December 31, 2023, as follows:

 

    Paid-In Capital   Accumulated Earnings/ (Losses) 
Income Fund   $(10,060)  $10,060 
Growth Fund    (63,657)   63,657 
Quantitative Fund    (46,862)   46,862 
AlphaGen Fund         

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 31, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term. As of December 31, 2023, the Funds had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains.

 

    Non-Expiring Short-Term   Non-Expiring Long-Term 
Income Fund   $5,620,461   $94,238 
Growth Fund    5,329,921    812,401 
Quantitative Fund    4,203,770    745,055 
AlphaGen Fund    8,023,201    827,574 

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Growth Fund utilized $531,192 of capital loss carryforwards. The Income Fund, Quantitative Fund and AlphaGen Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforwards during the fiscal year.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Funds did not pay any distributions.

 

The tax character of distributions paid by the Funds during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, were as follows:

 

    Ordinary Income   Long-Term Capital Gains 
Income Fund   $1,248,445   $ 
Growth Fund    52,181     
Quantitative Fund    12,247     
AlphaGen Fund    73,279     

 

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, 2024, Charles Schwab and Co., Inc. (formerly TD Ameritrade, Inc.) held approximately 100% of the voting securities of the Income Fund, 100% of the voting securities of the Growth Fund, 100% of the voting securities of the Quantitative Fund and 100% 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, 2024, none of the Funds had more than 25% of their net assets invested in one security.

 

13.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no events requiring disclosure or recognition.

 

14.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In September 2023, the SEC adopted a final rule relating to “Names Rule” under the 1940 Act. The amendments expanded the rule to require more funds to adopt an 80 percent investment policy, including funds with names suggesting a focus in investments with particular characteristics (e.g., growth or value) or with terms that reference a thematic investment focus (e.g., environmental, social, or governance factors). The amendments will require that a fund review its name for compliance with the rule. If needed, a fund may need to adopt an 80 percent investment policy and review its portfolio assets’ treatment under such policy at least quarterly. The rule also requires additional prospectus disclosure and reporting and record keeping requirements. Depending on the size of the fund, the rule will take effect about 24 to 36 months after its publication date. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new rule.
