Atlas U.S. Tactical Income Fund, Inc.
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
March 31, 2022
 

The Fund’s performance figures for the periods ended March 31, 2022, compared to its benchmark:

 

  6 Months One Year
Atlas U.S. Tactical Income Fund, Inc.:    
Class A without Load (8.72)% (6.57)%
Class A with load (11.94)% (9.88)%
Class C (9.04)% (7.25)%
Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate 1-3 Year Index * (3.05)% (2.91)%
     
 
*The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate 1-3 Year Index is an unmanaged index of publicly issued investment grade corporate, US Treasury and government agency securities with remaining maturities of one to three years.

 

The performance data quoted is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Total returns would have been lower had the adviser not waived its fees and reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The Fund’s investment adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund, at least until January 31, 2023, to ensure that the net annual Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses and certain other non-operating expenses) will not exceed 1.15% and 1.90% of gross assets, respectively for Class A and Class C, subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years. The Fund’s total gross annual operating expenses, per its prospectus dated February 1, 2022, including underlying funds, are 1.91% for Class A and 2.65% for Class C. Class A shares are subject to a maximum sales charge imposed on purchases of 3.50%. Class A and Class C shares are subject to a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount redeemed if held less than 60 days. The above performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would have to pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. For performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call 1-787-781-1301.

Note 1 -Organization

 

Prior to June 17, 2021, Atlas U.S. Tactical Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was a diversified, leveraged, open-end, redeemable at will, mutual fund investment company registered under the Puerto Rico Investment Companies Act of 2013 (the Act), as amended, and organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The Fund was incorporated on June 17, 2015, and started operations on October 1, 2015. Since June 17, 2021, the Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return, consistent with preservation of capital.

 

The Fund currently offers Class A and Class C shares. Class A shares are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 3.50%. Class C shares are offered at net asset value. The Fund charges a fee of 1% on redemptions of shares held for less than 60 days. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s 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.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to investment companies. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standard Update ASU 2013-08.

 

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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Net Asset Value

 

The net asset value per share of the Fund is determined as of the close of regular trading on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business by adding the assets value of all securities and other assets of the Fund, then subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the total number of shares outstanding.

Note 1 -Organization – (continued)

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Fund follows the provisions of FASB ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of non-financial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Investment Transactions

 

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Differences between cost and fair values are reflected as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The Fund uses the high cost method for determining realized gains or losses on investments.

 

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.

 

Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are accreted or amortized using the interest yield method.

 

Taxation

 

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is more likely than not to be sustained on its merits in examination by the tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years. As of March 31, 2022, there were no uncertain tax positions for the Fund or unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund remains subject to income tax examinations for its PR income taxes for the fiscal years 2017 to 2021.

 

The Fund can invest in taxable and tax-exempt securities. In general, distributions of taxable income dividends, if any, to Puerto Rico individuals, estates, and trusts are subject to a tax of 15%. Moreover, distribution of capital gain dividends, if any to (a) Puerto Rico individuals, estates, and trusts are subject to a tax of 15% and (b) Puerto Rico corporations are subject to a tax of 20%. The tax withholdings are effected at the time of payment of the corresponding dividend. Otherwise, tax distributions will be subject to regular income tax. Individual shareholders may be subject to alternate basic tax on certain fund distributions. Certain Puerto Rico entities receiving taxable income dividends are entitled to claim an 85% dividends received deduction. Fund shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers.

Note 1 -Organization – (continued)

 

In addition, the Fund is exempt from United States income taxes, except for dividends received from United States sources, which are subject to a 10% United States withholding tax, if certain requirements are met. Dividend income is recorded net of taxes. In the opinion of the Fund’s legal counsel, the Fund is not required to file a U.S. federal income tax return.

 

Shares Issues and Redemptions

 

In accordance with the terms of the Fund, a net asset value per share is determined for each share class, as of the close of business on every business day for the purposes of issuance and redemption of the Fund’s shares.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund distributes income on a monthly basis. The Fund does not generally intend to distribute capital gains, unless the Board of Directors (Board) determines that capital gains must be distributed to holders of shares in order to ensure advantageous tax treatment for the Fund or its shareholders.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Fund is designated as a diversified fund, which may not invest more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets in a single issuer, with the exception of obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Government or one of its agencies.

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Fund to certain concentrations of credit risk include cash in bank accounts. The cash deposits, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

 

Deposit accounts, including checking and savings accounts, money market deposit accounts and certificates of deposit are standardly insured for up to $250,000 by the FDIC. The standard insurance coverage is per depositor, per insured bank. In addition, deposits with broker dealers are insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $250,000. Cash deposit with counter parties for futures and options are uninsured. At March 31, 2022, the Fund had no uninsured cash deposits fully related to broker deposits and variation funds for futures and options. The Fund has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

 

Futures Contracts – The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of interest rates. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund’s agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the

21

 

Atlas U.S. Tactical Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

Note 1 -Organization – (continued)

 

Fund’s basis in the contract. If the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. The Fund segregates cash having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

 

As of March 31, 2022, the change in unrealized loss and the amount of realized gain on futures contracts subject to interest rate risk amounted to $(65,091) and $878,400, respectively.

 

Options Transactions – The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and may purchase options to help hedge against risk.

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in the Fund’s portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.

The notional value of the derivative instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2022, as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the realized loss amounts and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed above and within the Statement of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Fund.

 

The cost of purchases and proceeds from the sale of securities, other than short-term securities, for the six months ended March 31, 2022, amounted to $84,723,449 and $79,126,110, respectively.

 

Note 2 -Fair Value Measurements

 

Security valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the 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 day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as “odd lots” and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as “round lots”. The Fund may fair value a particular bond if the adviser does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Fund’s holding. Futures contracts are valued at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Exchange traded options are valued at the last sale price or in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

 

Open-end underlying funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. 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 by the methods established by the Boards of the underlying funds.

 

The Fund determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on the Fair Value Measurement framework, which establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

23

 

Atlas U.S. Tactical Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
March 31, 2022

 

Note 2 -Fair Value Measurements – (continued)

 

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 relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2022, for the Fund’s assets measured at fair value:

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period.

 

*Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for industry classifications.

 

**Represents cumulative appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts at March 31, 2022.

 

The following is a description of the Fund’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

 

Equity Securities – Equity securities include common stock, exchange traded funds and master limited partnerships. Equity securities with quoted market prices obtained from an active exchange market are classified as Level 1.

 

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) – ETFs are priced continuously during normal trading hours in an active exchange market. The net asset value (NAV) of ETFs is calculated at the end of each trading day, at market close. ETFs are classified as Level 1.

 

U.S. Government Agency Debentures, Mortgage-Backed and Instrumentalities – Fair value for these securities is obtained from third-party pricing service providers that use a pricing methodology based on an active exchange market and quoted market prices for similar securities. Other US Government debt securities, other than U.S. Treasury Notes, are classified as Level 2.

 

Corporate Bonds – The fair value of corporate bonds 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 corporate bonds 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.

Note 3 -Management, Advisory, Distribution and Other Fees

 

Investment Advisory Fees

 

Atlas Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Adviser charges an investment advisory fee at an annual rate of 0.65% on the first $100 million, 0.60% on the next $200 million and 0.55% on assets exceeding $300 million on the Fund’s average daily gross assets. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, $521,820 of investment advisory fees was paid by the Fund of which $109,311 was waived by the Adviser.

 

The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund until at least January 31, 2023 to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 1.15% of the average daily gross assets of the Fund’s Class A shares and 1.90% of the average daily gross assets of the Fund’s Class C shares. Fees waived or reimbursed by the Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser from the Fund, to the extent that overall expenses fall below the expense limitation within three years following when such amounts were waived and/or reimbursed if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits or the expenses limits in place at the time of the recoupment. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Adviser waived fees of $202,727 which are subject to recapture by the Adviser before September 30, 2024.

Note 6 -Tax Information

 

The Fund should be exempt from Puerto Rico income tax for a taxable year if it distributes to its shareholders at least 90% of its net income for the taxable year within the time period provided by the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended.

 

The Fund will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “US Code”). As such, the Fund will not qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the US Code and will be treated as a non-U.S. corporation whose only business activity in the United States is trading in stocks or securities for its own account, which, under the US Code, does not constitute engaging in the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, even if its principal office is located therein. As a result, the Fund will be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding only with respect to certain types of income from United States sources considered fixed, determinable, annual and periodic income (such as dividends and interest paid by U.S. payors).

 

In general, the Fund’s distributions will be subject to Puerto Rico income taxes as dividend income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a Puerto Rico tax-qualified retirement plan or an IRA, in which case your distributions may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from the tax-advantaged account. Such distributions will also be subject to U.S federal income taxes and the PFIC rules if received by a U.S. person not residing in Puerto Rico. Distributions to residents of Puerto Rico who own, directly or indirectly, less than 10% of the total shares of the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes.

 

Note 7 -Tax Components of Capital

 

The tax attributes of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, were as follows:

 

   Fiscal Year Ended 
   September 30, 2021 
Ordinary Income  $(3,073,610)
Long-Term Capital Gain    
Return of Capital    
Total  $(3,073,610)

 

The Fund’s net investment income and net realized gain (loss) on investments and futures contracts reflected in the financial statements differ from distributable net investment income and net realized gain (loss) on investments and futures contracts for tax purposes. Permanent book and tax differences are primarily attributable to the tax adjustments for real estate investment trusts and partnerships, and paydowns from mortgage-backed securities, as follows:

 

   2021 
Net investment income per statement of operations  $1,807,963 
Tax adjustments for real estate investment trusts and partnerships    
Reclassification of realized loss on securities’ paydown for tax purposes   845,870 
Distributable net investment income for tax purposes  $2,653,833 
      
Net realized gain (loss) on investments and derivatives per statement of operations  $625,339 
Tax adjustments for real estate investment trusts and partnerships    
Reclassification of realized loss on securities’ paydown for tax purposes   (845,870)
Net realized loss on investments and futures contracts for tax purposes  $(220,531)

Note 8 -Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

 

Reverse Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of a security by the Fund and a simultaneous agreement by the seller (generally a bank or dealer) to repurchase the security from the Fund at a specified date or upon demand. This technique offers a method of earning income on idle cash. These securities involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, the Fund will bear the risk of market value fluctuations until the security can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the security.

 

If a reverse repurchase agreement counterparty defaults, the Fund may suffer time delays and incur costs or possible losses in connection with the disposition of the securities underlying the reverse repurchase agreement. In the event of a default, instead of the contractual fixed rate of return, the rate of return to the Fund will depend on intervening fluctuations of the market values of the underlying securities and the accrued interest thereon. In such an event, the Fund would have rights against the counterparty for breach of contract with respect to any losses resulting from those market fluctuations.

 

At March 31, 2022, the Fund had outstanding $55,391,000 in securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

 

Summarized information on such borrowing was as follows:

 

Weighted-average interest rate at end of the year   0.44%
      
Maximum aggregate balance outstanding at any time during the year  $67,153,000 
      
Average balance outstanding during the year  $64,249,753 
      
Weighted-average interest rate during the year   0.22%

 

At March 31, 2022, the interest rates on three outstanding agreements with maturities of April 7, 2022, were 0.50%, 0.50% and 0.39%.

 

At March 31, 2022, investment securities amounting to $57,390,431 were pledged as collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The counterparties under such agreements to repurchase have the right to sell or repledge the investment securities. Interest payable on securities sold under agreements to repurchase amounted to $18,945 at March 31, 2022.

 

No trades were executed by any affiliate of the Adviser.

Note 9 -Risks and uncertainties

 

The business, results of operations and financial condition of the Fund may be adversely affected by public health epidemics, such as the recent novel coronavirus spread. A public health epidemic poses the risk that the Fund, its employees, business partners and investors may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to lockdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. As of the date of issuing these financial statements, the Fund has not experienced financial losses or operating disruptions that adversely affects the Fund’s performance.

 

Leverage Risk. The use of leverage by the Fund creates an opportunity for increased net income, but at the same time, creates special risks. Because, under normal market conditions, obligations with longer-term or medium-term maturities produce higher yields than short-term obligations, the Adviser believes that the spread inherent in the difference between the short-term rates paid by the Fund in the course of leveraging and the longer-term rates received by the Fund from securities purchased with the proceeds of such leverage will provide holders of the shares with a potentially higher yield. Investors should note, however, that leverage creates certain risks for holder of shares, including higher volatility in the net asset value and market value of the shares as well as in the dividend rate paid by the Fund on the shares. Since any decline in the value of the Fund’s investment will be borne entirely by the holders of shares, the effect of leverage in the declining market would result in a greater decrease in net asset value per share than if the Fund were not leveraged, which will result in a lower redemption price of the shares. The effect of leverage may cause a shareholder to lose all or a portion of its investment in the Fund.

 

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-backed securities are classified generally as either commercial mortgage-backed securities or residential mortgage-backed securities, each of which is subject to certain specific risks. Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than other types of debt securities. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are subject to both extension risk, where borrowers extend the duration of their mortgages in times of rising interest rates, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their mortgages sooner than expected in times of declining interest rates. These risks may reduce the Fund’s returns. In addition, investments in mortgage-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime mortgages, may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk than various other types of fixed-income securities.

Note 10 -Investment and Other Requirements and Limitations

 

The Fund is subject to certain requirements and limitations related to investments and leverage. Some of these requirements and limitations are imposed statutorily or by regulation while others are imposed by procedures established by the Board of Directors. The most significant requirements and limitations are discussed below. Commencing on May 1, 2014 and in accordance with the requirements of the Puerto Rico Investment Companies Act and rulings issued by the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (“OCFI”), the Fund will be required to invest at least 20% of the Fund’s total assets in Puerto Rico Assets (the “20% investment requirement”). The balance of the Fund’s assets will be invested in U.S. debt and other fixed-income obligations. Under the new investment objective, the Fund will continue to be required to invest at least 90% of its assets in securities that are rated, at the time of purchase, within the highest rating category by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or are deemed of comparable quality by the Fund’s investment adviser. With this amended Ruling, the OCFI granted a waiver that permits the Fund to maintain PR assets acquired prior to the effective date of the change in investment policy. Therefore, the Fund will gradually achieve the approved investment policy and applicable compliance ratios with the gradual disposal of assets as market and economic conditions permits.

 

The Fund’s investment objective and fundamental policies may not be changed without the vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares of common stock and the consent of the Commissioner. All other investment policies and limitations, however, subject to applicable Puerto Rico law, may be changed by the Board of Directors of the Fund without the approval of either the Fund’s shareholders or the Commissioner. The Fund’s leverage, as measured by the ratio of total assets, may not exceed 33 1⁄3%. Should this ratio be exceeded, the Fund is precluded from further leverage transactions until the maximum 33 1⁄3% ratio is restored. The Fund may issue preferred stock, debt securities and other forms of leverage to the extent that immediately after their issuance the value of the Fund’s total assets less all the Fund’s liabilities and indebtedness which are not represented by preferred stock, debt securities, or other forms of leverage being issued or already outstanding is equal to or greater than 300% of the aggregate par value of all outstanding preferred stock (not including any accumulated dividends or other distributions attributable to such preferred stock) and the total amount outstanding of debt securities and other forms of leverage.

 

Note 11 -Control Ownership

 

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of March 31, 2022, Pershing LLC., an account holding shares for the benefit of others in nominee name, held approximately 80% of the voting securities for the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge as to whether any beneficial owner included in these nominee accounts holds more than 25% of the voting shares of the Fund.

Note 12 -Recent Regulatory Updates

 

In October 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new regulations governing the use of derivative by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives funds can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Funds will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Fund. When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how the Fund uses derivatives, adversely affect the Fund’s performance and increase costs related to the Fund’s use of derivatives.

 

Note 13 -Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent events after the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Atlas U.S. Tactical Income Fund, Inc.
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
March 31, 2022

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 for the entire period beginning October 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The “Actual” lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The “Hypothetical” lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

 

    Ending Account Expenses Paid
  Beginning Account Value During Period *
  Value (10/1/21) (3/31/22) (10/1/21 to 3/31/22)
Actual      
Class A $1,000.00 $912.80 $7.53
Class C $1,000.00 $909.60 $7.52
Hypothetical      
(5% return before expenses)      
Class A $1,000.00 $1,017.05 $7.95
Class C $1,000.00 $1,013.56 $7.93

 

*Expenses are equal to the average account value over the period, multiplied by the Fund’s annualized expense ratios of 1.58% and 2.28% for Class A and Class C, respectively, multiplied by the number of days in the period (182) divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (365).
