Rational ReSolve Adaptive Asset Allocation Fund (RDMIX | RDMAX | RDMCX) | Semi Annual Shareholder Letter (unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
Portfolio Review
The Strategy underwent two notable phases during the first half of the year. The first quarter saw losses, particularly in March, following a severe jolt to the US banking system. This shock led to “the biggest one-day decline (of the 2-year Treasury note yield) since October 1, 1982” - a date that marked the first discount rate cut after the September 1981 peak in yields. Notably, the decline in the 2-year yield on March 13th surpassed any single-day drop during significant events such as the 2007-2009 financial crisis, the aftermath of 9/11 terrorist attacks, and the 1987 stock market crash.1
It is a testament to the strategy’s agility and risk management tools that, despite a net short exposure to government bonds coming into this episode (which had been an important source of positive returns over the previous 18 months), it experienced a relatively small loss. In contrast, the strategy regained some lost ground in the second quarter, largely due to a robust performance in April. The uplift came mainly from equity indices and currencies, while commodity positions largely detracted.
The Adaptive Asset Allocation strategy offers exposure to a global risk parity “beta” core stacked with an active macro trading “alpha” strategy. Losses on the alpha overlay, especially in March and June, were largely countered by gains from the risk parity core.

Equity indices were by far the best performers, led by longs in Japanese Nikkei and TOPIX, followed by longs in the Italian MIB, French CAC40 and Spanish IBEX. Short UK FTSE and active trading in the Aussie200 and S&P500 also contributed positively.
Currencies also offered important gains, primarily from short the Japanese Yen against the US Dollar. Short Aussie Dollar and active trading in the British Pound further enhanced returns.
Energies were the worst performers, largely from active trading in Brent crude and long WTI crude. Active trading in natural gas and heating oil offered important offsetting gains.
Grains also detracted, especially from longs in soy meal, Kansas City wheat and corn, and active trading soybeans and bean oil. Short wheat contributed positively.
Bonds saw losses primarily from active trading in the Canadian 10-year and US 5-year Treasury, long US 10-year Treasury, and short German 5-year Bobl. Long UK 10-year Gilt and short German 30-year Buxl countered some of the losses.
Metals underperformed primarily due to short exposure to gold, and long copper and platinum.
General Market Review
The seesaw of cyclical and structural forces pulling in opposite directions continues to add increasing complexity to the future path of US interest rates, one of the most critical variables in determining risk appetite for global assets. Rates, bonds, equities, and energies have been mired in loose ranges for many months while economic forces play out against a backdrop of policy ambiguity along several axes.
The year began with a rebound in global equities and bonds, as decelerating inflation in the US and Europe rekindled hopes that a potential pause in monetary tightening was in sight, even though central bank Chairs on both sides of the Atlantic continued to emphasize a tightening bias. During the second week of March, huge (albeit unrealized) losses from Treasury holdings that had been accumulating across the US banking system since the Fed began raising rates precipitated the first bank run of the digital age.1 A tsunami of depositor capital was rapidly drained from smaller regional banks and financial institutions otherwise perceived as “non-systematically important”, and into the (relative) safety and extra yield offered by Treasuries and other sovereign debt.
Extraordinary short-term measures at the Treasury to manage the debt-ceiling conflagrations resulted in a surge in short-term liquidity. Once negotiations in Congress were concluded and the debt-ceiling once again extended, Secretary Yellen elected to replenish the Treasury General Account by issuing short-term Treasury bills (as opposed to longer dated bonds) in an apparent attempt to minimize the expected impact on liquidity. This will likely dampen the effects of Quantitative Tightening and further complicate the Fed’s fight against inflation. Concerns over financial stability following the failure of important US banks in March appear to have somewhat moderated, though growing signs of non-performing loans to the commercial real estate sector could add further strain to the industry.2
After 10 consecutive hikes, the Fed kept rates unchanged in its latest FOMC meeting in June, though optimism about a “pause” was tempered by comments by Chairman Powell indicating that the tightening cycle was not over yet, and an expected increase in terminal rates (as indicated by so-called Dot Plots). Inflation slowed but remained well above the Fed’s target, while a stronger-than-expected labor market and revised Q1 GDP3 data signaled activity remains robust. An unusually large dispersion in growth measures across different segments of the economy is further complicating the jobs of policymakers as they attempt to pursue a “data driven” approach.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept its ultra-loose monetary policy unchanged while suggesting an inflationary overshoot would unlikely lead to tighter conditions in the short-term.4 The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) reduced interest rates for both its one-year medium-term lending facility (MLF) and reverse repo rate, indicating further easing might be warranted to boost a weakening economy5. Warning that inflation is far from vanquished, the European Central Bank (EBC) increased its policy rate to the highest level since 20016, days before inflation data for the Eurozone showed an acceleration in core CPI7 despite headline figures falling more than expected. Across the Channel, the Bank of England (BoE) also raised rates (by more than anticipated) as stubbornly high inflation – the highest among major economies8 – showed no signs of abating.

Macro Outlook
In early June, Ukraine began its long-awaited counteroffensive, which appears to be making slow progress 9 as of this writing. As the conflict escalated over the past few weeks, the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam will likely have dire effects over huge swathes of grain producing regions in southern Ukraine, while Russian officials have indicated the Black Sea Grain Initiative would not be extended past July.10 These events could have severe implications for global food supplies.11 Still on the geopolitical front, Italy announced it will no longer participate in China’s Belt and Road Initiative12, in yet another sign that great power competition is leading to a more fragmented global economy. Meanwhile, a top US military officer warns of an arms race in the Western Pacific.13
A study released by Deutsche Bank expects an imminent wave of debt defaults in the US and Europe, likely peaking in the fourth quarter of 202414, while odds of an economic hard landing appear to be rising.15 As the interplay between economics and geopolitics grows more complex every day, it’s not surprising that macro uncertainty appears high relative to other historical periods, at least according to these measures.16

While range-bound conditions are especially difficult for intermediate-term quantitative strategies, the biggest payoffs tend to occur when equilibrium transitions to disequilibrium, setting the stage for new trends and sustained price moves. It’s impossible to know when major shifts will happen, but it seems likely we are closer to the end than the beginning of this process.

The Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Chesapeake Fund, LLC (the “Predecessor Fund”) in a tax free reorganization on September 30, 2016. In connection with this acquisition, shares of the Predecessor Fund were exchanged for Institutional Shares of the Fund.

Effective February 27, 2018, the Fund’s investment strategy changed, and the current Sub Advisor replaced the prior sub-advisor. Consequently, prior performance may not reflect the Fund’s current operations.

Rational Inflation Growth Fund (“Inflation Growth”) | SL Advisors, LLC | Long-term capital appreciation. |
The Funds are classified as diversified funds under the 1940 Act, except Pier 88 and Inflation Growth, which are classified as non-diversified funds.
Currently, all Funds offer Class A, Class C and Institutional shares. Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to distribution (12b-1) and service fees, if any, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, exchange privileges of each class of shares and sales charges. The price at which the Funds will offer or redeem shares is the net asset value (“NAV���) per share next determined after the order is considered received, subject to any applicable front end or contingent deferred sales charges. Class A shares have a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.75% for ReSolve Adaptive and Inflation Growth and 4.75% for all other Funds as a percentage of the original purchase price. Class C shares have a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% on shares sold within one year of purchase. Each Fund’s prospectus provides a description of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered.
| (2) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts increases and decreases in net assets resulting from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuations
All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. In computing the NAV of the Funds, fair value is based on market valuations with respect to portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available. Pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”), the Trust relies on certain security pricing services to provide the current market value of securities. Those security pricing services value

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
June 30, 2023 | SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT |
equity securities (including foreign equity securities, exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds) traded on a securities exchange at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. Equity securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and in the case of over-the counter securities, equity securities are valued at a bid price estimated by the security pricing service. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and based on methods which include the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type. Option contracts are generally valued at the close. If the close price is outside the bid and the ask price; the quote closest to the close is used. When there is no trading volume the mean of the bid and ask is used. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect as of the close of the NYSE. Investments in open -end investment companies (except for exchange-traded funds) are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. Futures, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the settlement price determined by the exchange. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value under Trust procedures approved by the Board. In these cases, a valuation designee, determines in good faith, subject to Trust procedures, the fair value of portfolio securities held by a Fund (“good faith fair valuation”). When a good faith fair valuation of a security is required, consideration is generally given to a number of factors including, but not limited to the following: dealer quotes, published analyses by dealers or analysts regarding the security, transactions which provide implicit valuation of the security (such as a merger or tender offer transaction), the value of other securities or contracts which derive their value from the security at issue, and the implications of any other circumstances which have caused trading in the security to halt. With respect to certain categories of securities, the procedures utilized by the valuation designee detail specific valuation methodologies to be applied in lieu of considering the aforementioned list of factors.
Fair valuation procedures are also used when a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which is when each Fund’s NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Significant events include significant securities’ market movements occurring between the time the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For securities normally priced at their last sale price in a foreign market, such events can occur between the close of trading in the foreign market and the close of trading on the NYSE.
In some cases, events affecting the issuer of a portfolio security may be considered significant events. Examples of potentially significant events include announcements concerning earnings, acquisitions, new products, management changes, litigation developments, a strike or natural disaster affecting the company’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For securities of foreign issuers, such events could also include political or other developments affecting the economy or markets in which the issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded.
There can be no assurance that a Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. In the case of good faith fair valued portfolio securities, lack of information and uncertainty as to the significance of information may lead to a conclusion that a prior valuation is the best indication of a portfolio security’s present value. Good faith fair valuations generally remain unchanged until new information becomes available. Consequently, changes in good faith fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations.
Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed -end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). Open -end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
June 30, 2023 | SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT |
trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.
The Trust calculates the NAV for each of the Funds by valuing securities held based on fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds’ investments 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 quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
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 June 30, 2023, for each Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Consolidation of Subsidiaries – The consolidated financial statements of ReSolve Adaptive include the accounts of RDMF Fund Ltd. (“RDMF” or “CFC”), a wholly-owned and controlled foreign subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
ReSolve Adaptive may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”), which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with ReSolve Adaptive’s investment objectives and policies.
| Inception Date of | CFC Net Assets as of | % of Net Assets as of |

RDMF Fund, Ltd. | 8/5/2016 | $ 15,257,542 | 11.32% |
For tax purposes, the CFC is an exempted Cayman investment company. The CFC has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, a CFC is a Controlled Foreign Corporation which generates and is allocated no income which is considered effectively connected with U.S. trade or business and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly -owned Controlled Foreign Corporation, RDMF’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the ReSolve Adaptive’s investment company taxable income.

B. Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange each business day to determine the value of investments, and other assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of foreign securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuation arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency transactions.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities; sales and maturities of short term securities; sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period-end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
C. Derivative Instruments
Certain of the Funds may be subject to equity price risk, commodity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Certain of the Funds may invest in various financial instruments including positions in foreign currency contracts, written and purchased option contracts and futures contracts to gain exposure to or hedge against changes in the value of equities or foreign currencies. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Funds, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Futures Contracts – Certain of the Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts. A Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of underlying reference assets, such as equities, interest rates, commodities prices or foreign currencies. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Options Contracts – Certain Funds may purchase put and call options and write put and call options. The premium paid for a purchased put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by a Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Funds. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Funds, the benefits realized by the Funds as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs.
When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Funds have realized gains or losses. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Funds.
Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange traded options and guarantees against a possible default. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into options

contracts are satisfied by the deposits of cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund’s agent in acquiring the options).
Convertible Securities – Pier 88 invests in convertible securities, which include fixed income securities that may be exchanged or converted into a predetermined number of shares of the issuer’s underlying common stock at the option of the holder during a specified period. Convertible securities may take the form of convertible preferred stock, convertible bonds or debentures, units consisting of “usable” bonds and warrants or a combination of the features of several of these securities. The investment characteristics of each convertible security vary widely, which allows convertible securities to be employed for a variety of investment strategies. The Fund will exchange or convert the convertible securities held in its portfolio into shares of the underlying common stock when, in the Advisor’s or Sub-Advisor’s opinion, the investment characteristics of the underlying common shares will assist the Fund in achieving its investment objective. Otherwise, the Fund may hold or trade convertible securities.

D. Security Transactions and Related Income
During the period, investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized. Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends, less foreign tax withholding (if any), are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes and capital gains on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
E. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains recorded on the ex-dividend date are determined in accordance with the federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP and are recorded on ex-date. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. tax treatment of foreign currency gain/loss, non -deductible stock issuance costs, distributions and income received from pass through investments and net investment loss adjustments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary differences are primarily due to market discounts, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales, straddles and return of capital from investments. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Certain Funds may own shares of real estate investments trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT, when such information is available.
F. Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionally among various Funds or all Funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative net assets. Distribution fees are charged to each respective share class in accordance with the distribution plan.
G. Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
The Funds recognize 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 each 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, 2020 to December 31, 2022 (as applicable), or expected to be taken in the Funds’ December 31, 2023 year-end tax returns. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits, as income tax expenses in the Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
H. Indemnification
The Trust indemnifies its Officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. 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 risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

Investment Advisory Fee — Rational Advisors, Inc., (the “Advisor”) serves as the Funds’ investment adviser. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor manages the investment operations of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s respective investment policies and restrictions. The Funds’ sub-advisors are responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund’s portfolios. The Advisor provides the Funds with investment advice and supervision and furnishes an investment program for the Funds. For its investment management services, the Funds pay to the Advisor, as of the last day of each

Market Risk – Overall market risks may also affect the value of a Fund. The market values of securities or other investments owned by a Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, exchange rates and political events affect the securities markets. Changes in market conditions and interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. Unexpected local, regional or global events and their aftermath, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; recessions and depressions; or other tragedies, catastrophes and events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund’s net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. Such events can cause investor fear and panic, which can adversely affect the economies of many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. A Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. In times of severe market disruptions, you could lose your entire investment.
In accordance with its investment objectives and through its exposure to futures contracts, each of Equity Armor, Strategic Allocation, ReSolve Adaptive and Inflation Growth may have increased or decreased exposure to one or more of the following risk factors defined below:
Commodity Risk – Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk – Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk – Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a
RATIONAL FUNDS |

relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
In accordance with its investment objectives and through its exposure to options, Tactical Return and Equity Armor may have increased or decreased exposure to Option Risk factors defined below:
Options Risk – Tactical Return and Equity Armor are subject to equity price risks in the normal course of pursuing their investment objective and may purchase or sell options. The seller (writer) of a call option which is covered (e.g., the writer holds the underlying security) assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of an underlying security below the purchase price of an underlying security less the premium received and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The seller of an uncovered call option assumes the risk of a theoretical unlimited increase in the market price of an underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The securities necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase except at much higher prices. Purchasing securities to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of securities to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of losing its entire premium invested in the call option. The seller (writer) of a put option which is covered (e.g., the writer has a short position in the underlying security) assumes the risk of an increase in the market price of the underlying security above the sales price (in establishing the short position) of the underlying security plus the premium received and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The seller of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of losing his entire premium invested in the put option.
Activist Strategies Risk – As part of Special Situation’s principal investment strategy, the Sub-Advisor seeks to identify “special situations” where it can seek to remedy legal, technical or structural issues it has identified in the securities held by the Fund through activist strategies, including through litigation or the threat of litigation. Such activist strategies may not be successful and may have a negative impact on the Fund, including causing the Fund to incur legal related costs and expenses and portfolio turnover if the Sub-Advisor determines to sell such securities.
Please refer to the Funds’ prospectus for a full listing of risks associated with these investments.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed ordinary income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market on open futures and Section 1256 option contracts, and adjustments for C-Corporation return of capital distributions, partnerships and perpetual bonds, trust preferred securities, income on contingent convertible debt securities, and Section 305(c) deemed dividend distributions. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency losses of $22,990 for the Resolve Adaptive Asset Allocation Fund.

| * | The Rational Tactical Return Fund experienced a shareholder change in ownership resulting in an annual limitation on the amount of pre-change capital loss carry forwards available to be recognized in each year. Due to IRC Section 382 limitations, utilization of these carry forwards is limited to a maximum of $92,691 per year. |
Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax basis treatment of net operating losses, non-deductible expenses, distributions in excess, and adjustments for the Resolve Adaptive Asset Allocation Fund’s wholly owned subsidiary, which has a November 30 tax year end, resulted in reclassifications for the Funds for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 as follows:

June 30, 2023 | SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT |
Effective December 8, 2022, the Trust has a $100,000,000 uncommitted line of credit provided by U.S. Bank National Association (the “Bank”) under an agreement (the “Uncommitted Line”). Any advance under the Uncommitted Line is contemplated primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Interest on borrowings is payable on a monthly basis. The Uncommitted Line is not a “committed” line of credit, which is to say that the Bank is not obligated to lend money to the Funds. Accordingly, it is possible that the Funds may wish to borrow money for a temporary or emergency purpose but may not be able to do so.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the average amount of borrowings outstanding based on days borrowed was as follows:
| | Average | | | Maximum | | | | | | Average | | | Current | |
| | borrowings | | | Outstanding | | | Interest | | | borrowings | | | Interest | |

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2023, the companies that held more than 25% of the voting securities of the Funds, and may be deemed to control each respective Fund, are as follows:

Each underlying fund, including each ETF, is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying fund. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, foreign and related currency risk, as well as risks associated with real estate investments and commodities. Investors in the Funds will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying investment companies in which the Funds invest in addition to the Funds’ direct fees and expenses.
The performance of Resolve Adaptive will be directly affected by the performance of the First American US Treasury Money Market Fund, including the Schedule of Investments, can be found at the SEC’s website www.sec.gov and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements. As of June 30, 2023, the percentage of Resolve Adaptive’ s net assets invested in First American US Treasury Money Market Fund were 28.0%.
Subsequent events after the date of the Statements 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.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR FUNDS’ EXPENSES (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund(s), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The example below is 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.
The example below illustrates an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period 01/01/23 and held for the entire period through 6/30/23
Actual Expenses
The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these sections, 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 first row 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 second section of each table provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of 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. For more information on transactional costs, please refer to the Funds’ prospectus.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (Unaudited) |
June 30, 2023 |
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. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the respective Fund’s investment strategy 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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the “Committee”) reviewed each Fund’s 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 Committee 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.
