MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (Unaudited)
December 31, 2023
The equity markets in 2023 fluctuated with changing perspectives about the future trajectory of interest rates. Uncertainty about a reduction in inflation and central bank promises of maintaining tight policies for longer dominated the conversation for most of the year. From the end of October, clarity emerged that the rate hike cycle had come to an end and the markets rallied substantially on speculation that rate cuts would be coming in 2024. In 2023, the S&P 500 benchmark rallied 26.26% and the Nasdaq Composite rallied 44.70%. The particularly strong performance of technology shares in the Nasdaq composite was driven by enthusiasm over developments in artificial intelligence, reversing almost the entire 2022 loss of -32.51%.
During 2023, the fund returned 12.35% (using the net asset value (NAV) price of the fund) compared to 25.47% for the benchmark S&P 1500 index. This divergence can be attributed to the robust rebound in technology names, to which the fund had an underweight allocation, and other depressed sectors of the market. Looking at the two-year period from the beginning of 2022, which includes both the decline and the rebound in the more volatile sectors of the market, the fund returned 1.96% (using the market price of the fund) compared to 2.86% for the S&P 1500 index.
Sector performance in the fund mirrored broader market trends. The information technology sector posted a return of 48.34% and despite an underweight allocation of approximately 11.44% accounted for more than a third of the fund’s total gain at 4.87%. The second most significant estimated contribution of 2.92% was from the communication services sector, which posted a performance of 28.49%. Only three sectors exhibited negative performance during 2023: materials, utilities, and consumer staples. These sectors reduced the fund’s overall return by estimates of -.49%, -.23%, and -.11% respectively.
Focusing on the individual company level, the top five contributing companies were Alphabet, Microsoft, Apple, Eli Lilly, and Amazon with estimated return contributions of 2.16%, 1.81%, 1.25%, 1.13% and .66% respectively. The dominant presence of technology names among the fund’s top performers reflected the overall strength of the sector. These were joined by Eli Lilly, which rallied 60.91% for the year on excitement over the health benefits associated with Mounjaro and Zepbound. The five largest detractors from performance were Pfizer, FMC, Corteva, Bristol-Meyers and Archer-Daniels-Midland, with estimated return contributions of -1.02%, -.48%, -.36%, -.34% and -.26% respectively. The poor performance was largely driven by a significant inventory correction in the agricultural supplies sector and idiosyncratic pipeline concerns in the case of the two large pharmaceutical companies.

| * | The performance data quoted here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception (2/23/2021) to the first day of secondary market trading shares of the Fund, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. The Fund’s total annual operating expenses are 0.11% per the April 30, 2023 prospectus. Please see the Financial Highlights for a most recent expense ratio.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
December 31, 2023 |
Humankind Benefit Corporation (the “Company”), is organized as a Benefit Corporation pursuant to the laws of the State of Maryland. The Company was incorporated on July 6, 2020. The Humankind US Stock ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of the Company and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Humankind US Equity Index (the “Index”). The Fund’s investment objective may be changed without the consent of the shareholders of the Fund. The Fund commenced operations on February 24, 2021.
| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements 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 income and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are 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 Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
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 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. 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. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) 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. Securities traded on a foreign exchange which has not closed by the valuation time or for which the official closing prices are not available at the time the net asset value per share (“NAV”) is determined may use alternative market prices provided by a pricing service.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
December 31, 2023 |
The Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities are valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has designated the Adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to execute these procedures. The Board may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, approval of which shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.
Fair Valuation Process. The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that affects the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine, the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii), where applicable “the size and nature of the Fund’s holdings”; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and 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 in 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 tables summarize the inputs used as of December 31, 2023 for the Fund’s investments measured at fair value:
Assets* | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ Level 3 private investment position in the Abiomed CVR, are as follows: (1) updates from Johnson and Johnson including new clinical trials data (2) the revenue trajectory from Abiomed as an independent public company before the acquisition and (3) existing information about the efficacy and safety of the company’s devices in related indications. A significant series of clinically adverse events associated with the Impella heart pump system could decrease the potential fair value of the CVR.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ Level 3 private investment position in the Novartis A.G CVR, are as follows: (1) updates from Novartis on the efficacy and safety of atrasentan from the phase 3 trial for IgA Nephropathy, (2) FDA communications specific to an NDA filing for atrasentan or more generally about risk mitigation for hepatoxicity of endothelin receptor antagonists, and (3) updates from clinical trials of atrasentan or other pharmaceuticals for the treatment of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. A significant series of clinically adverse events associated with atrasentan could decrease the potential fair value of the CVR.
The total change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation included in the Statement of Operations attributable to Level 3 investments still held at December 31, 2023 was $578 for the Fund.
Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities using effective yield method. Dividend income and expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are included in dividend income on the ex-dividend date at the fair market value of the shares received. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and foreign capital gain taxes have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. These “book/

tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards, etc.) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of the Fund.
Federal Income Tax – The Fund complies with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2022, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s December 31, 2023, year-end tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Maryland, and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses in the Statement of Operations. The Fund is 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 twelve months.
Indemnification – The Company indemnifies its officers and directors for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Company. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

professional services provided by others. The Adviser pays all operating expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payments under the Advisory Agreement, brokerage fees and commissions, indirect costs of investing in other investment companies, taxes, borrowing costs (such as (a) interest and (b) dividend expenses on securities sold short), such extraordinary or non-recurring expenses as may arise, including litigation to which the Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Company’s Directors and officers with respect thereto, and authorized expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser, the Fund pays the Adviser a management fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.11% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund incurred $140,278 in advisory fees, and $13,334 was due to the Adviser.
Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as the principal underwriter and national distributor for the shares of the Fund. The Company, with respect to the Fund, has adopted the Company’s ETF Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act (the “Plan”), which allows the Fund to pay the Fund’s distributor an annual fee for distribution and shareholder servicing expenses of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. As of December 31, 2023, the Plan has not been activated. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund did not incur any distribution fees.
The Adviser’s unitary management fee is designed to pay the Fund’s expenses and to compensate the Adviser for providing services for the Fund. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser pays substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services and Independent Directors’ fees, but not payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan, brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, borrowing costs (such as dividend expense on securities sold short and interest), fees and expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund may invest, and extraordinary or non-recurring expenses (including litigation to which the Company or the Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Directors and officers with respect thereto). The Adviser, and not the Fund’s shareholders, would benefit from any reduction in fees paid for third-party services, including reductions based on increases in net assets.
Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”) – UFS, an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration and fund accounting services to the Company. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Adviser pays UFS customary fees for providing administration and fund accounting services to the Fund.

| 5. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Fund at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” Shares are created and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 shares. Only Authorized Participants or transactions done through an Authorized Participant are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Fund. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per share of the Fund on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant, or as a result of other market circumstances. In addition, the Fund generally imposes transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Fund shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund in effecting trades, which is payable to the custodian (“Fixed Fee”). Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for cash or involving cash-in-lieu are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate the Fund and its ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions (“Variable Charge,” and together with the Fixed Fee, the “Transaction Fees”). Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income/(loss), accumulated net realized gain/(loss), and unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies, and adjustments for partnerships, and C-Corporation return of capital distributions.
At December 31, 2023, the Fund had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains, as follows:

| 8. | INVESTMENT IN RESTRICTED SECURITIES |
Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. Each Fund may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and investment strategies. A Fund will not invest in a restricted security if, immediately after and as a result of the investment in such security, more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets would be invested in illiquid securities. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Investments in restricted securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. It is possible that the estimated value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material.
As of December 31, 2023, the Fund was invested in the following restricted securities:
| | Initial | | | | | | | | | | | % of | |

On January 24, 2023, 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 not 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 Fund.
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.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited) |
December 31, 2023 |
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur ongoing costs, which include management 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 from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (the “period”).
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” line in the table below provides 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” line in the table below provides 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 contingent deferred 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.
| | Beginning | | Ending | | Annualized | | Expenses Paid |
| | Account Value | | Account Value | | Expense | | During Period |
| | 7/1/23 | | 12/31/23 | | Ratio | | 7/1/23-12/31/23 |
Actual* | | $1,000.00 | | $1,050.20 | | 0.11% | | $0.57 |
Hypothetical* | | | | | | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,024.65 | | 0.11% | | $0.56 |

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) |
December 31, 2023 |
Approval of Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement
At its meeting in November 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”), including the Independent Directors, considered the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Humankind Benefit Corporation (the “Company”) and Humankind Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”) with respect to the Humankind U.S. Stock ETF (separately, the “Fund” and the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis of the Board’s determination to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement are summarized below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided. The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the scope of services that the Adviser provides under the Investment Advisory Agreement, noting that such services include but are not limited to the following: (1) investing the Fund’s assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies; (2) determining the portfolio securities to be purchased, sold or otherwise disposed of and the timing of such transactions; (3) voting proxies with respect to the Fund’s portfolio securities; (4) maintaining the required books and records for transactions that the Adviser effects on behalf of the Fund; (5) selecting broker-dealers to execute orders on behalf of the Fund; and (6) performing compliance services on behalf of the Fund. The Independent Directors noted no changes to the services that the Adviser provides to the Fund under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the Adviser’s capitalization and its assets under management. The Board, including the Independent Directors further considered the investment philosophy and investment industry experience of the portfolio managers, and noted the investment methodology developed by the Adviser and utilized to manage the Fund’s portfolio consistent with the index it tracks, and in accordance with its investment strategy. The Board, including the Independent Directors also noted the Fund’s performance compared to its benchmark index for the one-year and since inception periods as of September 30, 2023. Based upon the foregoing, the Board, including the Independent Directors concluded that they are satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services that the Adviser provides to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Cost of Advisory Services and Profitability. The Board, including the Independent Directors considered the unitary management fee that the Fund pays to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as the Adviser’s profitability from the services that it renders to the Fund, noting the said services were unprofitable during the last fiscal year and were projected to be unprofitable in the current fiscal year, absent substantial growth in the Fund’s assets. The Board, including the Independent Directors considered the Adviser’s business plans, as further discussed earlier in executive session, aimed at growing the

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued) |

business and the path toward profitability. The Board, including the Independent Directors noted that, while a Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan had been approved on behalf of the Fund, 12b-1 fees were neither accrued nor paid pursuant to the Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan. The Independent Directors also considered Humankind’s commitment with respect to the Fund and the growth of assets in the Fund over time.
Comparative Fee and Expense Data. The Board, including the Independent Directors noted that the Fund’s unitary fee was less than the Morningstar category median and the Morningstar category average, and the Fund’s unitary fee was lower than both the median and average for the Broadridge custom peer group. While recognizing that it is difficult to compare advisory fees because the scope of advisory services provided may vary from one investment adviser to another, or from one investment product to another, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s advisory fee continues to be reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board, including the Independent Directors considered whether the Fund may benefit from any economies of scale and did not find that any meaningful economies of scale were realized and noted the relatively low level of assets in the Fund. The Board, including the Independent Directors also noted the Adviser’s view that due to the Fund’s total net asset and the Adviser’s current unprofitability with respect to the Fund, fee breakpoints are not necessary or appropriate at this time.
Other Benefits. The Board, including the Independent Directors noted that the Adviser does not utilize soft dollar arrangements with respect to portfolio transactions and does not use affiliated brokers to execute the Fund’s portfolio transactions. The Board, including the Independent Directors concluded that all things considered, the Adviser does not receive material additional financial benefits from services rendered to the Fund.
General Conclusion. After considering and weighing all of the above factors, with various written materials and verbal information presented by the Adviser throughout the course of the year and since the inception of the Fund, the Board, including the Independent Directors voting separately, concluded in its business judgment that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Company were fair and reasonable, and that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to approve renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In reaching this conclusion the Board, including the Independent Directors, did not give particular weight to any single piece of information or factor examined. The Board, including the Independent Directors considered various factors and information over the course of the year and since inception in numerous meetings, some of which were in executive session. It is possible that individual Board members may have weighed these factors, and the information presented, differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Fund has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Funds’ investment strategy and the liquidity of their portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; their short and long-term cash flow projections; and their cash holdings and access to other funding sources.
During the fiscal period ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Administrator (the “Administrator”) reviewed the Funds’ investments and determined that the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Administrator 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.
