How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
For the year ending September 30, 2024, the Cantor Fitzgerald Equity Dividend Plus Fund – Class A shares returned 27.7%, just behind the Russell 1000 Value Index at 27.8%. The strong equity market was led early on by stocks with a growth bias but finished the final quarter with a rotation to stocks with a value/dividend bias and a broadening of leadership. The Fund’s equities performed well over this period with securities in the Information Technology, Real Estate and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributing most positively to return, while the contribution from securities in the Health Care and Energy sectors held back returns. Individually, Broadcom, Tapestry, JP Morgan, Ventas and RTX Corp were strong performers. The largest individual laggards relative to the strong environment over the past year were Pfizer, Comcast, UPS and CVS. Premiums received from option writing were higher than we anticipated and contributed positively to returns. Cash flow generation from dividends and call option premiums is a focus of your Fund. Therefore, its investment discipline utilizes the sale of covered call options as individual securities approach the top of the Adviser’s growth and price expectations. In very strong stock markets, this approach may limit the upside of the underlying securities against which options have been written, but in flat to negative markets, it may provide additional return. The Fund will continue to focus on identifying attractively valued companies with above average dividend yields. Covered call options will be used opportunistically to enhance cash flow to the Fund and as part of its sell discipline.

Class A | $135 | 1.24% |
How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
The Cantor Fitzgerald International Equity Fund, Class A shares, climbed 18.1%, net of fees, from inception 12.15.23 to 9.30.24, compared to a 16.8% rise in the MSCI All-Country World Index ex-US, over the same period. Developed EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa)was the largest contributor to excess return, led by stock selection in France and Germany. Spain was the lone detractor of note in the region. Developed Asia was the second largest contributor due to outperformance by Japanese holdings. Emerging Asia was the largest detractor although performance was bar belled with Chinese and Thai holdings outperforming while Indonesia and South Korea holdings underperformed. Emerging Americas was also a drag on stock selection due to Mexico. Allocation effect at the country level detracted from excess return due to the underweight to India and China and overweight to South Korea. On average for the period, the Fund had the largest overweight to Developed Asia and largest underweight to Emerging EMEA. From a sector view, outperformance was concentrated in the Industrials sector, led by Japanese machinery manufacturer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (+176%). French inspection services company Bureau Veritas (+40%) and UK aero engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce Holdings (+29%) claimed second and third place among sector holdings. The Materials sector was the second largest contributor due to Canadian miner Kinross Gold (+57%). The Communications Services sector was the largest detractor, with both Canadian-based Rogers Communications (-17%) and Brazilian-based TIM S.A. (-1%) underperforming. The Consumer Staples sector had the second worst relative return, driven by Mexico-based hyper mart operator Wal-Mart de Mexico (-25%) and South Korean confectionary maker ORION Corp (-26%). Sector allocation was a drag on excess return largely due to the underweight to Communication Servies and overweight to Consumer Staples. On average for the period, the Fund had the largest overweight to Industrials and largest underweight to Utilities.

Class A | $134 | 1.16% |
How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
The Cantor Fitzgerald Large Cap Focused Fund – Class A shares posted a net of fee return of 30.3% during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, lagging the benchmark S&P 500 Index return of 36.4% over the same period. After the index declined to a low point on October 27, 2023, the equity market has rallied almost 40%, albeit with occasional interruptions, largely from the stock performance of the mega-capitalization Magnificent 7 companies Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Tesla. Fund underperformance over the period was largely a function of not owning NVIDIA, a stock that posted a gain of almost 180% over the 12 months, and carrying underweight positions of other mega-capitalization companies. As excitement about the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence technology on the economy and profitability, and the related capital expenditures this necessitates, technology stocks did gain the most benefit. But signaling from the Federal Reserve about a more accommodative posture brought benefit to other sectors as well. Among sectors, the Fund’s holdings in Consumer Staples, Financials, and Energy provided positive contribution to performance. On the negative side, the Information Technology (IT), Industrials, and Health Care sectors delivered the most negative relative performance. While not owning NVIDIA caused 4.3% of negative relative performance, IT- holdings Applovin (+108%) and KLA Corporation (+70%) provided the largest positive relative performance for the fiscal year. American Express (+85%) in the Financials sector, Parker-Hannifin (+65%) in Industrials, and Consumer Staples company Costco Wholesale (+62%) were the other strongest performers in the Fund. At the bottom of the list as providing the most disappointing relative performance during the fiscal year, we find Nextracker (-38%) in the Industrials sector, IT companies Okta (-34%) and Jabil (-6%), Pinterest (-5%) in the Communication Services sector, and Health Care company Zimmer Biomet (-3%). After reporting year-over-year earnings growth of 1.5% in 2023, the S&P 500 is now poised for double digit earnings growth of 10.0% for the full calendar year 2024 and 15.0% for 2025. If growth holds up and recession risks abate, risk assets should continue to rise as the earnings backdrop appears favorable and most central banks have a clear accommodative posture.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
September 30, 2024 |
Securities valuation —The Funds’ portfolio securities are valued as of the close of business of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Securities traded on a national stock exchange, including common stocks and closed-end investment companies, if any, are valued based upon the closing price on the principal exchange where the security is traded, if available, otherwise, at the last quoted bid price. Securities that are quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Covered call options written by the Cantor Fitzgerald Equity Dividend Plus Fund are valued at the last quoted sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the ask price on the principal exchanges on which they are traded. Investments representing shares of money market funds and other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by such companies. Options contracts listed on a securities exchange or board of trade (not including Index Options contracts or OTC Options) for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted sales price. In the absence of a sale, the option shall be fair valued either at the most recently quoted bid for purchased options or the most recently quoted ask for written options. Index Options contracts, which may be thinly traded, whether listed on a securities exchange or board of trade, shall be fair valued either at the most recently quoted bid for purchased options or the most recently quoted ask for written options. OTC Options (i.e. those not listed on a securities exchange or board of trade) shall be fair valued, either at the most recently quoted bid for purchased options or the most recently quoted ask for written options.
Securities will be valued at fair value when market quotations (or other market valuations such as those obtained from a pricing service) are not readily available or are deemed unreliable. The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) has designated the advisor 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 will 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. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. 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) 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
CANTOR FITZGERALD FUNDS |

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.
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 the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| ● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities 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 determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following is a summary of each Fund’s investments and other financial instruments based on the inputs used to value the investments and other financial instruments as of September 30, 2024, by security type:

Refer to the Funds’ Schedule of Investments for a listing of the common stocks by sector type. There were no Level 3 investments held by the Funds as of or during the period/year ended September 30, 2024.
Share valuation — The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of its assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding.
Allocation between classes — Class accounting investment income, common expense, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expense relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. Class R6 shares will not be allocated any expenses related to services fees, sub-accounting fees, and /or sub-transfer agency fees paid to brokers, dealers, or other financial intermediaries.
Investment 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. Interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities purchased are amortized using the interest method. Withholding taxes, if any, on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s rules and tax rates.
Distributions to shareholders — Dividends arising from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly to shareholders of the Cantor Fitzgerald Equity Dividend Plus Fund and annually to the shareholders of the Cantor Fitzgerald International Equity & Cantor Fitzgerald Large Cap Focused Fund. Net realized short-term capital gains, if any, may be distributed throughout the year, and net realized long-term capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. 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. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Investment transactions — Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on a specific identification basis.
Options transactions — When the Fund’s investment advisor believes that individual portfolio investment securities held by the Fund are approaching the top of the advisor’s growth and price expectations, covered call options can be written (sold) against such securities and the Fund will receive a premium in return. The Fund writes options only for income generation and hedging purposes and not for speculation. The premiums received from writing the options are recorded as a liability and are subsequently valued daily at the closing prices on their primary exchanges. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are exercised increase the proceeds used to calculate the realized gain or loss on the sale of the underlying security. If a closing purchase transaction is used to terminate a Fund’s obligation on a call option, a gain or loss will be realized, depending upon whether the price of the closing purchase transaction is more or less than the premium previously received on the call option written.
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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, each as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

September 30, 2024 |
Federal Income Tax — The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Qualification generally will relieve the Funds of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains are distributed in accordance with the Code. Management has analyzed the Funds’ 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 September 30, 2021 through September 30, 2023 (and March 31, 2023 for the Equity Dividend Plus Fund) or expected to be taken in the Funds’ September 30, 2024 tax returns.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year/period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also the Funds’ 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.

Investments in the Funds are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of some or the entire principal amount invested. The Funds are subject to certain risks, including the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Funds’ net asset value per shares, trading price, yield, total return, and ability to meet their investment objectives. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit or obligation of any bank, is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank, and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The prospectus states the individual risks for each individual fund, generally, the Funds will be subject to the following principal risks:
Active management and selection risk — The risk that the securities selected by a fund’s management will underperform the markets, the relevant indices, or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. The securities and sectors selected may vary from the securities and sectors included in the relevant index.
Company size risk — The risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines.
Covered call option risk -The use of options requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than those normally required for purchasing and selling securities. If the Advisor is incorrect in its price expectations and the market price of a security subject to a call option rises above the exercise price of the option, the Fund will lose the opportunity for further appreciation of that security but continue to bear the risk of a decline in the value of the underlying stock.
Cybersecurity risk - As part of its business, the Sub-Advisor processes, stores, and transmits large amounts of electronic information, including information relating to the transactions of the Funds. The Sub-Advisor and the Funds are therefore susceptible to cybersecurity risk. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of the Funds or their service providers have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Funds shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties and/or reputational damage. The Funds and their shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.
Distribution policy risk -The Funds seek to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. All or a portion of a distribution may consist solely of a return of capital (i.e. from your original investment) and not a return of net profit. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Funds is net profit. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares.
Dividend strategy risk - The Funds’ focus on dividend-paying stocks could cause it to underperform relative to funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends. An issuer of a stock held by the Funds may choose not to declare a dividend or the dividend rate might not remain at current levels or increase over time. Dividend paying stocks might not experience the same level of earnings growth or capital appreciation as non-dividend paying stocks. Changes in the dividend policies or capital resources of companies in which the Fund invests may affect the Fund’s ability to generate income.
ETF risk - An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional investment company, including the risk that the general level of security prices owned by the ETF may decline, thereby affecting the value of the shares of the ETF. In addition, ETFs are subject to certain risks that do not apply to conventional open-end mutual funds, including the risk that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value, or that an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not be developed or maintained.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
September 30, 2024 |
Equity securities risk - The return on and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate in response to stock market movements. Stocks tend to move in cycles and may decline in tandem with a drop in the overall value of the markets based on negative developments in the U.S. or global economies. Stocks and other equity securities are subject to inherent market risks and fluctuations in value due to earnings and other developments affecting a particular company or industry, stock market trends and general economic conditions, investor perceptions, interest rate changes and other factors beyond the control of the Advisor. The price of a company’s stock may decline if the company does not perform as expected, if it is not well managed, if there is a decreased demand for its products or services, or during periods of economic uncertainty or stock market turbulence. Economies and financial markets throughout the world have become interconnected which increases the possibility that economic, financial, or political events in one country, sector or region could have potentially adverse effects on global economies or markets. Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, the responses and sanctions by other countries, and the potential for wider conflicts, could continue to have adverse effects on regional and global economies and may further strain global supply chains and negatively affect global growth and inflation. Policy changes by the U.S. government and/or Federal Reserve and political events with the U.S. and abroad, such as changes in the U.S. presidential administration and Congress, may affect investor and consumer confidence, and adversely impact the financial markets.
Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes and tsunamis, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and the markets. For example, the outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19, and efforts to contain its spread, have resulted, and may continue to result in labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand for certain products and services, and significant disruptions to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies, sectors, industries, interest rates and investor sentiment.
Growth stock risk — Growth stocks (such as those in the information technology sector) reflect projections of future earnings and revenue. These prices may rise or fall dramatically depending on whether those projections are met. These companies’ stock prices may be more volatile, particularly over the short term.
Large company risk - Larger capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, have fewer opportunities to expand the market for their products or services, and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies.
Limited number of securities risk — The possibility that a single security’s increase or decrease in value may have a greater impact on a fund’s value and total return because the fund may hold larger positions in fewer securities than other Funds. In addition, a Fund that holds a limited number of securities may be more volatile than those funds that hold a greater number of securities.
Liquidity risk — The possibility that investments cannot be readily sold within seven calendar days at approximately the price at which a Fund has valued them.
Management risk -The Advisor’s method of security selection may not be successful and the securities in the Fund’s portfolio may not perform as well as the market as a whole. Value stocks are subject to the risks that they may not appreciate in value as expected or their prices may decline.
Market risk — The risk that all or a majority of the securities in a certain market — such as the stock or bond market — will decline in value because of factors such as adverse political or economic conditions, future expectations, investor confidence, or heavy institutional selling.
CANTOR FITZGERALD FUNDS |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
September 30, 2024 |
Mid-cap company risk -Mid-capitalization (“mid-cap”) companies often involve higher risks because they may lack the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies. In many instances, the securities of mid-cap companies are traded only over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, and the frequency and volume of their trading is substantially less than is typical of larger companies.
8. Sector Risk
If the Cantor Fitzgerald Large Cap Focused Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers in industries within a particular business sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss of an investment in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share. From time to time, circumstances may affect a particular sector and the companies within such sector. For instance, economic or market factors, regulation or deregulation, or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector and, therefore, the value of the Fund’s portfolio would be adversely affected. As of September 30 2024, the Cantor Fitzgerald Large Cap Focused Fund had 29.5% of its net assets invested in the Technology sector.
9. Contingencies and Commitments
The Trust indemnifies the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
10. Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Capital
The following table represents aggregate cost for federal tax purposes, including options written, for the Funds as of September 30, 2024 and differs from market value by net unrealized appreciation/depreciation which consisted of:

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 mark to market on passive foreign investment companies and the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes Cantor Fitzgerald International Equity Fund unrealized foreign currency gains of $545.
Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Funds incurred and elected to defer such late year losses as follows:

During the fiscal period ended September 30, 2024, certain of the Funds utilized tax equalization which is the use of earnings and profits distributions to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the use of tax equalization credits, and the book/tax treatment of non-deductible expenses, resulted in reclassifications for the year ended September 30, 2024 for the Funds as follows:
| | Paid | | | | |

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits.

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 September 30, 2024, 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 estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Cantor Fitzgerald Investment Advisors, L.P. since 2016.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) |
September 30, 2024 |
Cantor Fitzgerald Large Cap Focused Fund - Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor
In connection with the Board meeting held on June 18, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, discussed the approval of a management agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and the Advisor, with respect to the Cantor Fitzgerald Large Cap Focused Fund (the “Large Cap Focused Fund”).
The Trustees were assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In connection with their deliberations regarding approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials prepared by the Advisor.
In deciding on whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the responsibilities of the Advisor under the Management Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by the Advisor to the Large Cap Focused Fund including, without limitation, the quality of its investment advisory services since inception and its coordination of services among the service providers. The Trustees evaluated the Advisor’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of the Advisor’s personnel; the Advisor’s compliance program; and the Advisor’s financial condition. After reviewing the foregoing information and further information in the memorandum from the Advisor (e.g., descriptions of the Advisor’s business, compliance program, and ADV), the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor were satisfactory and adequate.
Performance. The Trustees compared the performance of the Large Cap Focused Fund with the performance of comparable funds with similar strategies managed by other investment advisers, and applicable peer group data (e.g., Morningstar category and peer group average) . The Trustees noted that the Large Cap Focused Fund underperformed the peer group average, category average, and the primary benchmark for the one-year period. The Trustees noted that the Advisor believed that the underperformance was attributable to the underweight of the Large Cap Focused Fund in mega-cap technology holdings compared to the peer group, category, and benchmark. The Trustees also considered the Advisor’s role in supervising the investment activity of the Sub-Advisor. After reviewing the investment performance of the Large Cap Focused Fund and other factors, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Large Cap Focused Fund and the Advisor were satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses . The Trustees next considered information regarding the management fee for the Large Cap Focused Fund. The Trustees noted that the management fee for the Large Cap Focused Fund was slightly lower than the peer group average and slightly higher than the Morningstar category average. The Trustees noted that the Advisor believed that the Large Cap Focused Fund’s management fee is higher than the Morningstar category average due to the smaller size of the Large Cap Focused Fund compared to the funds in the category, which did not allow the Large Cap Focused Fund to benefit from economies of scale. Following this comparison, and upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to the Advisor were not unreasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor and that they reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm’s length.
Profitability . The Trustees considered the Advisor’s profitability in connection with its management of the Large Cap Focused Fund. The Trustees also took into account the services the Advisor provides under
CANTOR FITZGERALD LARGE CAP FOCUSED FUND |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued) |
September 30, 2024 |
the Management Agreement including the Advisor’s costs in managing the Large Cap Focused Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor realized a profit for the prior twelve months of operations. The Trustees discussed the profitability level of the Advisor, noting, among other factors and circumstances, that the level of profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. In this regard, the Trustees reviewed the Large Cap Focused Fund’s operational history and noted that the size of the Large Cap Focused Fund had not provided an opportunity to realize economies of scale. The Trustees then reviewed the fee arrangements for breakpoints or other provisions that would allow shareholders to benefit from economies of scale in the future as the Large Cap Focused Fund grew. The Trustees determined that the advisory fee would stay the same regardless of the asset levels. It was pointed out that breakpoints in the advisory fee could be reconsidered in the future as the Large Cap Focused Fund grows.
Conclusion. The Trustees, having requested and received such information from the Advisor as they believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Management Agreement, with the Independent Trustees having met in executive session with counsel, determined that approval of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year term should be approved.
Cantor Fitzgerald Large Cap Focused Fund - Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Sub-Advisor
In connection with the Board meeting held on June 18, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, discussed the approval of a sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, with respect to the Fund (the “Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement”).
The Trustees were assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Investment Sub- Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the approval of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In connection with their deliberations regarding approval of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials prepared by the Sub-Advisor.
In deciding on whether to approve the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the responsibilities of the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by the Sub-Advisor to the Large Cap Focused Fund including, without limitation, the quality of its investment sub-advisory services since the Large Cap Focused Fund’s inception (including research and recommendations with respect to portfolio securities); its procedures for formulating investment recommendations and assuring compliance with the Large Cap Focused Fund’s investment objectives, policies and limitations. The Trustees evaluated the Sub- Advisor’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of the Sub-Advisor’s personnel; compliance program; and financial condition. It was noted that the Sub-Advisor did not have any changes to their personnel since the last review. After reviewing the foregoing information and further information in the memorandum from the Sub- Advisor (e.g., descriptions of the Sub-Advisor’s business, compliance program, and Form ADV), the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Advisor were satisfactory and adequate for the Large Cap Focused Fund.

After reviewing the investment performance of the Large Cap Focused Fund and other factors, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Large Cap Focused Fund and the Sub-Advisor were satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses. The Trustees first noted the sub-advisory fee for the Large Cap Focused Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees compared the sub- advisory fee of the Large Cap Focused Fund to other comparable accounts managed by the Sub-Advisor and noted that the Sub-Advisor fee paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to its services to the Large Cap Focused Fund was the same or lower than that paid to comparable accounts. Following this comparison, and upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to the Sub-Advisor were not unreasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Advisor and that they reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm’s length.

Cantor Fitzgerald International Equity Fund - Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor
In connection with the Board meeting held on September 15, 2023, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, discussed the approval of a management agreement between the Trust and the Advisor, with respect to the Cantor Fitzgerald International Equity Fund (the “International Fund”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”).
The Trustees were assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In connection with their deliberations regarding approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials prepared by the Advisor.
In deciding on whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees reviewed materials provided by the Advisor regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the International Equity Fund by the Advisor, including an overview of the Advisor and the personnel that would perform services for the International Equity Fund. The Trustees reviewed the most recent Form ADV for the Advisor and considered the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the members of the Advisor’s portfolio management team who would oversee the day-to-day investment management and operations of the International Equity Fund.
Performance. The Trustees considered that the International Equity Fund was a new fund, so it had no performance history for the Trustees to evaluate. The Trustees noted that the Advisor has historically acted as a “manager of managers” and reviewed the performance of the Large Cap Focused Fund presented by the Advisor. The Trustees concluded that based on the International Equity Fund’s investment strategy and the Advisor’s presentation, the Advisor had the expertise to fulfill the International Equity Fund’s investment mandate.
Fees and Expenses. The Trustees next considered information regarding the International Equity Fund’s projected expense ratio and its various components, including the proposed management fee for the International Equity Fund. They compared the International Equity Fund’s proposed fees, projected expenses and overall expense ratio to expense information for the International Equity Fund’s peer group and category, as presented by the Advisor, noting that the management fee for the International Equity Fund was slightly below peer group average, but slightly above the category average. The Trustees found that the proposed management fee rate appeared to be not unreasonable for the management of the International Equity Fund’s portfolio under the strategy described for the initial term of the Management Agreement.
Profitability. The Trustees considered the Advisor’s anticipated profitability. The Board concluded that the estimated profitability of the Advisor in connection with the management of the International Equity Fund was not unreasonable and at a level to adequately incentivize the Advisor to provide high quality services. The Trustees also took into account the Advisor’s estimated costs of managing the International Equity Fund and information provided by the Advisor regarding its financial condition.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether the Advisor would realize economies of scale with respect to its management of the International Equity Fund. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the International Equity Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect

a reasonable sharing of economies of scale for the benefit of the International Equity Fund’s investors. The Board noted that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Advisor to share its economies of scale if the International Equity Fund experiences substantial asset growth; however, the Board recognized that the International Equity Fund may take some time to reach an asset level where the Advisor could realize significant economies of scale. The Board observed that economies of scale will be considered in the future as the International Equity Fund’s asset level grows.
Conclusion. The Trustees, having requested and received such information from the Advisor as it believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Management Agreement, with the Independent Trustees having met in executive session with counsel, determined that approval of the Management Agreement for an initial two-year term is in the best interests of the International Equity Fund and its shareholders.
Cantor Fitzgerald International Equity Fund - Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Sub-Advisor
In connection with the Board meeting held on September 15, 2023, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, discussed the approval of a sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, with respect to the Fund (the “Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement”).
The Trustees were assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Investment Sub- Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the approval of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In connection with their deliberations regarding approval of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials prepared by the Sub-Advisor.
In deciding on whether to approve the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees reviewed materials provided by the Sub-Advisor regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the International Equity Fund by the Sub-Advisor, including an overview of the Sub-Advisor and the personnel that would perform services for the International Equity Fund. The Trustees reviewed the most recent Form ADV for the Sub-Advisor and considered the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the members of the Sub-Advisor’s portfolio management team.
Performance. The Trustees compared the performance of an international composite of the Sub-Advisor and another international fund managed by the Sub- Advisor with the performance of a benchmark index. The Trustees noted the composite had outperformed the MSCI All-Country World ex-US Index benchmark for the 10-year and since-inception periods but underperformed for the 1-year and 5-year periods and that the international fund underperformed for all periods shown. After reviewing the investment performance of the accounts, the Sub-Advisor’s experience managing similar strategies, the Sub-Advisor’s historical investment performance, and other factors, the Board concluded that the Sub-Advisor had the expertise to fulfill the International Equity Fund’s investment mandate.
Fees and Expenses. The Trustees next considered information regarding the proposed sub-advisory fee for the International Equity Fund noting that it was lower than the fee charged to similar accounts managed by the Sub-Advisor. The Trustees determined that the overall sub-advisory fee paid was not unreasonable in relation to the services provided. The Trustees found that the proposed sub-advisory fee rate appeared

to be not unreasonable for the management of the International Equity Fund’s portfolio under the strategy described for the initial term of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Profitability. The Trustees considered the Sub-Advisor’s anticipated profitability. The Trustees also took into account the Sub-Advisor’s estimated costs of managing the International Equity Fund and information provided by the Sub-Advisor regarding its financial condition.
Conclusion. The Trustees, having requested and received such information from the Sub-Advisor as it believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement, with the Independent Trustees having met in executive session with counsel, determined that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term is in the best interests of the International Equity Fund and its shareholders.
