“Jumbo Shrimp”
A strange combination of several ancient and modern languages, English is littered with idiosyncrasies and nuances that can prove confounding to even native speakers. Two words spelled the same yet pronounced differently is often confusing, as is the creative pairing of seemingly contradictory terms regularly found in oxymorons. None other than William Shakespeare may have provided the most classic example of an oxymoron in English literature. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo exclaims “O brawling love! O loving hate” as the start to a string of thirteen oxymorons. Though popularized by The Bard, the first recorded use of the term oxymoron dated back to 400 AD. Derived from the Greek words oksus, meaning “sharp or pointed” and moros, meaning “stupid or foolish,” the word itself is an example of an oxymoron. Popularity grew modestly for several centuries before ramping up significantly over the past fifty years.
Phrases including jumbo shrimp, small crowd, virtual reality, original copy, and civil war have become commonplace in our everyday conversations, though new oxymorons are occasionally introduced and prove to have some potential staying power. Most recently, with the interpretation of Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary actions, the financial media should be credited with popularizing two new contradictory terms – the “dovish hike” and “hawkish pause.” As a reminder, central bank hawks are those that argue for higher interest rates to combat inflation and growth, while doves push for looser monetary policy to spur growth and inflation. Thus, at the early May meeting of the policy setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), though the result was a 25-basis point increase in the federal funds rate, it was positioned as possibly the last hike before a prolonged pause. The introduction of this dovish hike was intended to let investors know that the Fed was likely finished or almost done with its rate hikes.
After a punishing tightening cycle, comprising ten rate hikes and 500 basis points, the signal of its completion should be welcomed by financial markets, corporations, and households. Of course, that is assuming the Fed has successfully carried out its mandate of stable prices and full employment. In the passing weeks since this decision, this presumption has been called into question. Despite numerous predictions by well-respected pundits, the domestic economy has weathered the storm and continues to grow at a reasonable rate. More concerning, of course, is that inflation, while having dropped meaningfully from its heights, remains sticky and well above the Fed’s 2% target. As of the May releases, though CPI has fallen to 4%, the core CPI measure of 5.3% and the Fed’s preferred core PCE price index at 4.6% have not dropped nearly as much and continue to haunt policymakers and investors. While most expect the employment sector to wane, the demand for labor continues to exceed supply. With 339,000 new jobs created in May, considerably
above consensus, the slowdown is not yet evident in the broad numbers and the average monthly number of non-farm payrolls must decelerate to enable equilibrium.
Therefore, shortly after the dovish hike in May, economic releases continued to indicate stubbornly high inflation and modest growth, not the impending recession that most had anticipated. With the June FOMC meeting fast approaching, Fed members began publicly declaring that additional tightening may be necessary to quell lingering inflation. While rates were left unchanged at 5.25%, the updated predictions from the central bank, termed the dot plot, revealed surprisingly hawkish estimates. The Fed policymakers upgraded their consensus expectations for growth and inflation and, thus, projected two more rate hikes by the end of 2023. In his press conference immediately following the June meeting, Fed Chairman Powell reiterated the inflation-fighting rhetoric, helping to solidify the understandably deemed “hawkish pause.”
Great weight has historically been placed on the Fed’s economic projections, but is it justified? Despite more than 300 PhD economists on staff, the Fed has a very poor track record in predicting the economic future. With its recent blunders, most notably its characterization of inflation as transitory and the 2008 housing crisis as contained and unlikely to spread to other parts of the economy, investors should be weary of altering portfolios based upon Fed economic estimates.
Over the past quarter, pundits have begun to question one of the most reliable economic predictors, the inverted yield curve. The presence of the inverted curve, in which the yield on short-term Treasuries exceeds those of longer-term ones, has foreshadowed all ten U.S. recessions since 1955. However, during this cycle, the 2-year yield began topping the 10-year as far back as April 1st, 2022, though it quickly steepened until early July 2022. Since then, the yield curve has remained inverted, having deepened over the past month to end the second quarter at negative 106 basis points. Yet, a year has passed and the economy has maintained positive growth, prompting numerous analysts to revisit their recessionary calls, often updating estimates for a soft landing.
Have the yield curve’s predictive abilities failed, ruining its perfect record since World War II? Not so fast proclaim many economists. Since monetary policy works with a lag, many estimate that the recession should begin within 6 to 24 months,
with a 12-to-18-month window most likely. Therefore, the U.S. economy only recently entered the narrower window, providing some additional time before the current inversion signal may be considered fallible. Others advocate employing an alternative yield curve with superior predictive capabilities, the spread between the yield of the 3-month T-bill and the 10- year Treasury note. While also deeply inverted, this curve has been consistently negative only since November 2022, thus much earlier in the typical window for a recessionary environment.
Although recent strength has bolstered the outlooks for a soft landing, signs of weakness are plentiful. Contracting since late last year, manufacturing struggles have worsened, evinced by the ISM Manufacturing PMI reading in June of 46.0, the lowest of the current cycle. The service sector has slowed considerably from a year ago, though the June ISM Services reading of 50.3 indicated that this sector remained just above 50.0 and still in expansionary mode. Higher interest rates and inflation have weighed on household budgets, which should continue to crimp consumer spending and retail sales. Global growth has waned, with the hope that the reopening of the Chinese economy would boost other economies turning out to be a great disappointment.
As noted earlier, the beacon of strength in the U.S. has been the employment sector, but a closer examination uncovers some cracks that have already formed. Observing the job market at a more local level illustrates that many states have experienced a sizeable increase in the unemployment rate. In fact, according to the Sahm Rule, which posits that a recession has commenced when the three-month moving average of the unemployment rate rises by 0.5% or more relative to the prior twelve months, 18 states have already entered recession. This relatively straightforward measure has great accuracy in calling a recession, though it is intended to do so at the national level of unemployment rather than that of the state. Nonetheless, there has been a noticeable weakening in some industries and regions, likely a precursor to a more broad- based retrenchment.
The purportedly positive resolution on the debt ceiling, while avoiding a potential catastrophe in financial markets, may produce liquidity strains and volatility. In reviewing the final days before the deal was finally reached, the Treasury’s General Account (GA), used to pay various government obligations, dropped all the way down to $23 billion. The Treasury often carries a balance between $400 billion to $500 billion and intends to build this fund back up to that range. But doing so will require very heavy issuance of Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, with much of the funds for these purchases coming out of the banking system. Thus, the economy had enjoyed a boost in liquidity when the GA was drained, yet now must endure a drain in liquidity as the account is replenished. Prior instances of sizeable liquidity tightening have resulted in financial market downturns. In fact, it is no coincidence that the yield curve inversion worsened following the suspension of the debt limit, with the deal announced at the end of May and signed in early June. The deluge of Treasury issuance will be heavily tilted to the shortest maturities, placing upward pressure on these yields and exacerbating the spread between short and long-term rates.
Certainly, the domestic economy has withstood the multitude of rate hikes in impressive fashion, confusing many prognosticators and even convincing some to adjust their forecasts. Though a soft landing is possible, it remains highly unlikely. The magnitude of monetary tightening will prove too onerous to overcome. Regardless of which yield curve one favors, both predict a recession with only a variation in timing. With oxymorons such as “dovish hike” and “hawkish pause” in vogue, it seems appropriate to forecast the “near certainty” of an upcoming recession. Considering the probability of difficult economic times ahead, equity and bond indices have fared rather well. Going forward, though, a reduction of risk is warranted.

The Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund (OHFIX)
The economy continued to display resilience, overcoming eleven rate hikes, a regional banking crisis, and a debt ceiling showdown to maintain modest growth. To be certain, there are a growing number of concerns, including a contraction in manufacturing, strained household finances, and earnings pressure for corporations, to name a few. Inflation has fallen meaningfully from last year’s heights, though it remains above the Fed’s 2% target and may prove sticky on its remaining descent. Employment has held up well, with healthy monthly job creation and an unemployment rate just above its multi-decade low. Again, though, emerging signs of a weaker outlook for the employment sector may remove the primary area of strength in the domestic economy.
Following the regional bank crisis in March, a flight-to-safety caused U.S. Treasury yields to fall dramatically and yield spreads for corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities to widen considerably. As the markets overcame each challenge, a chorus of economists moved from the recessionary camp to the soft-landing view, further pushing benchmark yields higher to approach the earlier year peaks. While the Fund has lengthened maturities over the past few quarters, its duration remains below that of the index, which helped minimize the impact of higher rates over the past fiscal year. The reduction in corporate bonds also proved beneficial, enabling the Fund to outperform with a net return of -0.62% versus -1.19% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. While the lower duration strategy has aided performance over the past several years, with real rates approaching fair value, additional portfolio lengthening is warranted. The Fund experienced modest outflows over the past year, falling from $119.9 million to $115.4 million.
The Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund (OHSDX)
The recognition of economic durability, as well as persistent core inflation measures, will likely result in resumption of Fed rate hikes in July. As the market anticipated the end of the brief Fed pause, bond yields rose, with short maturities feeling the brunt of the impact. Coupled with the sizeable increase in U.S. Treasury issuance in the short end of the yield curve, benchmark yields for shorter maturities soared during the quarter, compounding the increase over the past few quarters, resulting in losses across most sectors. Fortunately, the Fund had minimal exposure to Treasuries, instead targeting significant overweight allocations to corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. The additional income generated from this strategy, in addition to the more recent reduction in the Fund’s interest rate sensitivity, proved quite beneficial. Over the past fiscal year, the Fund generated a positive net return of 2.23% versus a gain of 1.64% for the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate & Government Index. While maintaining an overweight to corporate bonds, the anticipation of a recession and expected pressure on profit margins led to a reduction in this allocation and focus on higher quality credits. Despite its strong performance and the attractiveness of short duration bond yields, Fund outflows continued over the year, with assets dropping from $57.9 million to $27.1 million.
The Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund (OHSHX)
The credit fundamentals of high yield issuers held up relatively well considering the uncertain economic backdrop. High yield bonds delivered strong returns over the past year, helped recently by an expanding soft-landing narrative, lower inflation, and optimism for tech. All ratings segments of the high yield market participated in the spread tightening, though lower quality CCC-rated bonds outperformed meaningfully, gaining 9.03%, compared to BB-rated and B-rated bonds, gaining 5.70% and 7.94%, respectively. Investors became enthusiastic about the sector, resulting in high yield funds posting positive inflows of $3.6 billion during the second quarter. Calendar year-to-date outflows have fallen to -$11.7 billion, an improvement relative to the -$49.2 billion of outflows over the same period in 2022. The new issue market perked up a bit during the second quarter, totaling $54.5 billion, up from $40.5 billion over the first quarter. Through August, year-to-date issuance totaled $112.1 billion versus $81.0 billion for the same period last year. Default rates have remained subdued, with the trailing twelve-month default rate at 1.29%, or 2.40% including distressed exchanges. Having upgraded the credit quality and liquidity of the Fund, the rally in the lowest rated sector of the market proved difficult to overcome. The Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund generated a net return of 4.05% in the fiscal period, trailing the 7.74% gain for the ICE BofA 1-5 Year U.S. Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index. Outflows continued to impact the Fund, with assets falling from $66.8 million to $43.8 million.

For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread (in basis points) are indicated parenthetically. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions. These securities, therefore, do not indicate a reference rate and spread. |

| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
Regulatory update – Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) – Effective January 24, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted rule and form amendments to require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Securities valuation – Securities are generally valued at fair value using prices provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board��). The independent pricing service uses information with respect to transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities in determining these prices. The methods used by the independent pricing service and the quality of valuations so established are reviewed by Oakhurst Capital Advisors, LLC (formerly known as Oakhurst Capital Management, LLC) (the “Adviser” and “Valuation Designee”) under the general supervision of the Board.
In the event that market prices are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, the Funds value their securities and other assets at fair value using procedures approved by the Valuation Designee and the Board.
Investments in registered investment companies, including money market funds, are reported at their respective net asset values (“NAVs”) as reported by those companies.
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| ● | Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
Fixed income securities held by the Funds are typically classified as Level 2 since values are typically provided by an independent pricing service that utilizes various “other significant observable inputs,” including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data and industry and market events. The inputs or methodology used are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. 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 based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Share valuation – The NAV per share of each class of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares outstanding of that class. The offering price and redemption price per share of each class of each Fund is equal to the NAV per share of such class.
Common expenses – Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds based on relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each Fund.
Investment income – Interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities purchased are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method and recognized within interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the security received.
Investment transactions – Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on a specific identification basis.
Distributions to shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly to shareholders. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least once each year. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the years ended August 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:
| | Ordinary | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Year Ended | | Income | | | Capital Gains | | | Distributions* | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal income tax – Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the Funds intend to distribute their taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is provided in the Funds’ financial statements.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.
The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of August 31, 2023:
| | | | | Oakhurst Short | | | Oakhurst Short | |
| | Oakhurst Fixed | | | Duration Bond | | | Duration High | |
| | Income Fund | | | Fund | | | Yield Credit Fund | |
Tax cost of investments | | $ | 125,706,107 | | | $ | 28,816,509 | | | $ | 44,508,911 | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 270,159 | | | $ | 59,830 | | | $ | 217,309 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (11,067,212 | ) | | | (1,558,181 | ) | | | (1,609,856 | ) |
Net unrealized depreciation on investments | | | (10,797,053 | ) | | | (1,498,351 | ) | | | (1,392,547 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | 170,671 | | | | 10,439 | | | | 29,178 | |
Accumulated capital and other losses | | | (6,294,048 | ) | | | (4,484,098 | ) | | | (11,725,290 | ) |
Distributions payable | | | (137,143 | ) | | | (1,965 | ) | | | (7,793 | ) |
Accumulated deficit | | $ | (17,057,573 | ) | | $ | (5,973,975 | ) | | $ | (13,096,452 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The difference between the federal income tax cost of investments and the financial statement cost of investments for each Fund is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains and losses under income tax regulations and GAAP. These timing differences are temporary in nature and are due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
F/m FUNDS TRUST |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
As of August 31, 2023, the Funds had the following capital loss carryforwards (“CLCFs”) for federal income tax purposes:
| | | | | Oakhurst Short | | | Oakhurst Short | |
| | Oakhurst Fixed | | | Duration Bond | | | Duration High | |
| | Income Fund | | | Fund | | | Yield Credit Fund | |
Short-term loss carryforwards | | $ | 812,224 | | | $ | 2,003,293 | | | $ | 4,797,340 | |
Long-term loss carryforwards | | | 5,481,824 | | | | 2,480,805 | | | | 6,927,950 | |
Total | | $ | 6,294,048 | | | $ | 4,484,098 | | | $ | 11,725,290 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
These CLCFs may be carried forward indefinitely and are available to offset net realized capital gains in future years, thereby reducing future taxable capital gain distributions.
The Funds recognize the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed each Fund’s tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for the current and all open tax years (generally, three years) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements and does not expect this to change over the next year. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.
Each Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended August 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

During the year ended August 31, 2023, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities, other than short-term investments and U.S. government securities, were as follows:

| 4. | Transactions with Related Parties |
Oakhurst Capital Advisors, LLC (formerly known as Oakhurst Capital Management, LLC) (the “Adviser” or “Oakhurst”) is the investment adviser for the Funds. Prior to January 31, 2023, Oakhurst was jointly owned by Lido Advisors, LLC and F/m Acceleration, LLC.
On January 31, 2023, Diffractive Managers Group (“Diffractive”), a multi-boutique asset management company, acquired the assets of F/m Acceleration, LLC, the parent company of F/m Investments, LLC, d/b/a Oakhurst Capital Advisors (“F/m Investments” or the “Sub-Adviser”), the Funds’ sub-adviser (the “F/m Transaction”). Also on January 31, 2023, Rowhouse Capital Partners, LLC acquired F/m Acceleration, LLC’s ownership interest in Oakhurst (the “Oakhurst Transaction” and with the F/m Transaction, the “Transactions”). In connection with the Transactions, Oakhurst was renamed Oakhurst Capital Advisors, LLC and F/m d/b/a Oakhurst Capital Advisors was renamed F/m d/b/a Oakhurst Capital Management.
In connection with the Transactions, the investment advisory agreements (the “Previous Advisory Agreements”) between Oakhurst and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the sub-advisory agreements (the “Previous Sub-Advisory Agreements”) among Oakhurst, F/m Investments and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, were terminated, effective January 31, 2023, and the Board approved (i) interim investment advisory agreements (the “Interim Advisory Agreements”) between Oakhurst and the Trust on behalf of the Funds, effective January 31, 2023; (ii) interim sub-advisory agreements (the “Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements”) among Oakhurst, F/m Investments and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, effective January 31, 2023; (iii) new investment advisory agreements (the “New Advisory Agreements”) between Oakhurst and the Trust on behalf of the Funds; and (iv) new sub-advisory agreements (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreements”) among Oakhurst, F/m Investments and the Trust on behalf of the Funds. The Interim Advisory Agreements and the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements have the same material terms and fee arrangements as the Previous Advisory Agreements and the Previous
F/m FUNDS TRUST |

Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively. The New Advisory Agreements and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements were approved by the shareholders of the Funds at a Special Meeting of Shareholders.
PREVIOUS INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Prior to January 31, 2023, under the terms of the Previous Investment Advisory Agreements, Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund paid the Adviser a fee, which was computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.50% of its average daily net assets; Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund paid the Adviser a fee, which was computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.35% of its average daily net assets and Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund paid the Adviser a fee, which was computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75% of its average daily net assets.
The Adviser contractually agreed until December 31, 2023 to reduce its investment advisory fees and to pay other operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit annual ordinary operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs, taxes, borrowing costs, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to 0.60% of the average daily net assets allocable to Institutional Shares of each of Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund and Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund and to 0.95% of the average daily net assets allocable to Institutional Shares of Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund. During the period from September 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $115,983, $76,934, and $64,684 for Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund, Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund and Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund, respectively. These amounts are not recoverable by the Adviser due to the change in Investment Advisory Agreement.
INTERIM INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Effective January 31, 2023 through June 29, 2023 with respect to the Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund and Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund, and through July 31, 2023 with respect to the Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund, under the terms of the Interim Investment Advisory Agreements, Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund paid the Adviser a fee, which was computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.50% of its average daily net assets; Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund paid the Adviser a fee, which was computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.35% of its average daily net assets and Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund paid the Adviser a fee, which was computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75% of its average daily net assets.

Effective June 29, 2023 with respect to the Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund and Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund, and through July 31, 2023 with respect to the Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund, under the terms of the New Advisory Agreements, Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund paid the Adviser a fee, which was computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.50% of its average daily net assets; Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund paid the Adviser a fee, which was computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.35% of its average daily net assets and Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund paid the Adviser a fee, which was computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75% of its average daily net assets.
The Adviser has contractually agreed until December 31, 2023 to reduce its investment advisory fees and to pay other operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit annual ordinary operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs, taxes, borrowing costs, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to 0.60% of the average daily net assets allocable to Institutional Shares of each of Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund and Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund and to 0.95% of the average daily net assets allocable to Institutional Shares of Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund.

Advisory fee reductions and expense reimbursements by the Adviser are subject to repayment by the Funds for a period of three years after such fees and expenses were incurred, provided that the repayments do not cause a Fund’s ordinary operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs, taxes, borrowing costs, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to exceed the agreed upon expense limitations. As of August 31, 2023, the Adviser may in the future recover advisory fee reductions and expense reimbursements totaling $101,106, $101,322, and $83,799 for Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund, Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund, and Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund, respectively. The Adviser may recover these amounts no later than the date stated below:

Compensation of the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Adviser (not the Funds) at the annual rate of the average value of each Fund’s daily net assets.

PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF FUND SHARES
As of August 31, 2023, the following shareholders owned of record 25% or more of the outstanding shares of each Fund:

| | |
Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund | | |
Charles Schwab & Company (for the benefit of its customers) | | 83% |
A beneficial owner of 25% or more of a Fund’s outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That shareholder’s vote could have a more significant effect on matters presented at a shareholders’ meeting.
| 5. | Contingencies and Commitments |
The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund has an uncommitted senior secured line of credit up to $6,000,000 with its custodian bank which expires on December 15, 2023. Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund has an uncommitted senior secured line of credit up to $3,000,000, previously the amount was up to $5,500,000, with its custodian bank which expires on December 15, 2023. Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund has an uncommitted senior secured line of credit up to $3,500,000, previously the amount was up to $4,500,000, with its custodian bank which expires on December 15, 2023. All portfolio securities held by each Fund are pledged as collateral for its line of credit. Borrowings under the lines of credit bear
F/m FUNDS TRUST |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
interest at a rate per annum equal to the bank’s Prime Rate at the time of borrowing. As of August 31, 2023, the Prime Rate was 8.50%. During the year ended August 31, 2023, none of the Funds borrowed under their respective lines of credit.
| 7. | Risks Associated with Collateralized Mortgage Obligations |
Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund and Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund have each adopted a fundamental policy to concentrate its investments in collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). This means each Fund will invest at least 25% of its total assets in agency and non-agency CMOs. The Funds’ investments in CMOs are subject to prepayment risk, especially when interest rates decline. Prepayment risk is the risk that the principal on CMOs, other asset-backed securities or any fixed-income security with an embedded call option may be prepaid at any time, which could reduce yield and market value. This could reduce the effective maturity of a CMO and cause the Funds to reinvest their assets at a lower prevailing interest rate. CMOs are also subject to extension risk, which is the risk that rising interest rates will increase the effective maturity of CMOs due to the deceleration of prepayments. CMOs may also be subject to risks unique to the housing industry, including mortgage lending practices, defaults, foreclosures and changes in real estate values. The Funds’ investments in CMOs are subject to default risk, prepayment and extension risk and market risk when interest rates rise. As a result of each Fund’s policy to concentrate in CMOs, the Funds will be subject to the risks associated with these securities to a greater degree than a fund that does not concentrate in CMOs. As of August 31, 2023, Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund and Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund had 34.6% and 44.6%, respectively, of the value of their net assets invested in CMOs.
| 8. | Risks Associated with Lower Rated Debt Securities |
Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund invests primarily in lower-rated debt securities (commonly called “junk” bonds). These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of default or price changes than higher-rated securities due to changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness. Prices of lower-rated securities have been found to be less sensitive to interest rate changes and more sensitive to adverse economic changes and individual corporate developments than more highly rated investments. An economic downturn tends to disrupt the market for lower-rated securities and may adversely affect their values. Such an economic downturn may be expected to result in increased defaults by the issuers of such securities. Securities rated below Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or BBB by S&P Global Ratings or Fitch Ratings, Inc. are generally considered to be “junk” bonds.

| 9. | Risks Associated with Rule 144A Securities |
Rule 144A securities are securities that are exempt from registration in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules thereunder, and may have legal restrictions on resale. Under Rule 144A, these privately placed securities may be resold to qualified institutional buyers (“QIBs”), subject to certain conditions. An insufficient number of QIBs interested in purchasing Rule 144A securities at a particular time could adversely affect the marketability of the securities and a Fund might be unable to dispose of the securities promptly or at a reasonable price. As of August 31, 2023, Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund, Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund and Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund had 17.2%, 19.6% and 69.2%, respectively, of the value of their net assets invested in Rule 144A securities.
The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events other than the following:
On September 29, 2023, Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund, Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund and Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund paid net investment income dividends of $0.0268, $0.0323, and $0.0446 per share, respectively, to shareholders of record on September 28, 2023.

On March 29, 2023, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization for the Funds relating to the reorganization of each of the Funds (the “Reorganizations”) into a newly created series of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the “Acquiring Funds”). The Acquiring Funds will have substantially similar investment objectives, investment policies and restrictions as the current Funds and will continue to be managed by the same investment management team that currently manages the Funds. The Reorganizations were approved by shareholders of the Oakhurst Short Duration Bond Fund and Oakhurst Short Duration High Yield Credit Fund at a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 29, 2023. The Special Meeting of Shareholders was adjourned with respect to the Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund and reconvened on July 31, 2023, at which point shareholders of the Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund approved the Reorganization with respect to the Oakhurst Fixed Income Fund. The Reorganizations are expected to occur on or about October 27, 2023. The Reorganizations are expected to be tax-free reorganizations for federal income tax purposes. Shareholders of the Funds should consult their own tax advisers regarding possible tax consequences of the Reorganizations, including possible state and local tax consequences.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant

About Your Funds’ Expenses (Unaudited) |
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other operating expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The expenses in the table below are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the most recent period (March 1, 2023) and held until the end of the period (August 31, 2023).
The table below illustrates each Fund’s ongoing costs in two ways:
Actual fund return – This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount of operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Funds. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, 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 given for the Funds under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% return – This section is intended to help you compare the Funds’ ongoing costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that each Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Funds’ actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess each Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor do they carry a “sales load.” The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
More information about the Funds’ expenses can be found in this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to each Fund’s prospectus.

Liquidity Risk Management Disclosure (Unaudited) |
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The program is reasonably designed to assess, manage, and periodically review each Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Fund’s investment strategies and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of F/m Funds Trust approved the appointment of a Liquidity Risk Management Program Administrator (the “Liquidity Administrator”), which includes representatives from the Funds’ investment adviser. The Liquidity Administrator is responsible for the administration of the program and its policies and procedures and for reporting to the Board on an annual basis regarding the program’s operation, adequacy and effectiveness, as well as any material changes to the program. The Liquidity Administrator assessed each Fund’s liquidity risk profile and the adequacy and effectiveness of the liquidity risk management program’s operations during the period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022 (the “Review Period”) in order to prepare a written report for the Board (the “Report”) for consideration at its meeting held on October 28, 2022. During the Review Period, none of the Funds experienced unusual stress or disruption to its operations from any purchase and redemption activity. Also, during the Review Period the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. The Report concluded that (i) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented during the Review Period.
