Dear Shareholder,

The great bond bear market of 2022 left a swath of destruction in financial assets, especially in long-duration fixed income. Market participants around the globe were completely offsides for the parabolic inflation experienced in 2022, leading to a surge in rates, a spike in interest rate volatility, wider credit spreads, significant fixed-income outflows, and the worst performance of the traditional 60/40 portfolio since 1931. A Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) that was supposed to be on hold at zero until 2023 hiked rates 17 times in 2022, humbling market participants in a historic policy panic. Not only did implied interest rate volatility spike, but it also has remained elevated for the longest period of time since the Global Financial Crisis. While we expected higher inflation, a higher target rate, and quantitative tightening (QT), we did not foresee the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the subsequent food and energy shock, the historic policy panic of the Federal Open Market Committee, or the volatility storm that ensued.

While shorter-duration areas of securitized credit, which we focused on, outperformed areas of traditional fixed income for most of 2022, persistently elevated interest rate volatility, QT, and a buyer’s strike by banks and money managers led to an eventual spread blowout in securitized credit. The sharp move wider in credit spreads began at the end of the third quarter of 2022 and bled into the fourth quarter, weighing on performance heading into year-end.

The interest rate volatility storm of 2022 put immense pressure on mortgage-backed securities and our favored areas of securitized credit, but we believe encouraging signs are emerging to indicate we are nearing peak policy and can expect declining volatility in 2023. In our view, a decline in interest rate volatility will be very supportive for mortgage and securitized product spreads in 2023. In addition, while we expect the Fed and banks will remain largely absent from purchase activity in 2023 because QT will continue for most of the year, we believe money manager and pension allocations back into fixed income (in order to take advantage of the opportunities in securitized credit) will be enough to offset the lack of demand, particularly in the most risk-remote areas of the capital structure.

Pandemics and wars are difficult to anticipate using our typical macroeconomic indicators, but we believe our focus on sustainable fundamentals in high-quality areas of securitized credit positions us to outperform over the long-run credit cycle, as the bond bear market of 2022 created years of total return potential. For most investors, loss-adjusted yields have potentially reached equity-like return hurdles, ranging from 6% to 15% in senior secured cash flows. In our view, bonds are the new stocks in 2023, and we encourage investors to take note of that when they assess the carnage of the 2022 bond bear market. We believe the relative value of securitized credit stands out across risk assets when considering the new 40/60 portfolio in 2023.

As we move into 2023, we leave behind a year that marked the worst performance of the traditional 60/40 portfolio since 1931. While investors spent 2022 focused on weathering the storm, investors will spend 2023 taking advantage of the opportunities it created. Most fixed-income asset classes look cheap today, but we believe that very few exhibit the sustainable fundamentals, robust structural protections, and crisis-level credit spreads that we see in U.S. securitized credit. Presenting the possibility of equity-like returns, we believe securitized credit should be a focal point of fixed-income portfolios as the era of the 40/60 portfolio begins.

Thank you for your continued support.

Respectfully yours,

Sam Dunlap

Angel Oak Multi-Strategy Income Fund

How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023, the Fund’s Institutional Shares (ANGIX) returned -10.98%, while the Fund’s A Shares (ANGLX) and C Shares (ANGCX) returned -11.28% and -11.88%, respectively.1 During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -8.36%.

What were the main contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance during the period?

Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (NA RMBS) currently stand at approximately 68% of the Fund and produced a total return of -12.27% during the period, detracting 8.64% from Fund performance. From a dollar price perspective, NA RMBS prices in our strategy are at levels last seen in 2011, and loss-adjusted yields range from 6% to 15% in high-quality cash flows with robust structural credit protection and backed by U.S. homes. We favor most subsectors of NA RMBS due to deeply discounted dollar prices with prepayment and call upside potential, as the market is currently priced for maximum extension. The opportunity to own very attractive loss-adjusted yields is available in most NA RMBS subsectors, but in the current environment, we prefer the following subsectors: senior and mezzanine tranches of prime jumbo 2.0, senior and mezzanine tranches of non-qualified mortgages, senior legacy NA RMBS, mortgage insurance, and reperforming loan securitizations. These sectors have been under significant pressure, particularly in the second half of 2022, but in our view offer extraordinarily attractive total return potential from here. We expect NA RMBS spreads to tighten on the heels of declining implied volatility and peak policy in 2023. Spread tightening coupled with current loss-adjusted yields approaching 10% in our strategy increase the potential for double-digit total return opportunities on the heels of the prior volatility storms.

Stable fundamentals have been evident in NA RMBS over the past several years, but the technical picture has been challenging due to robust issuance in 2021 and 2022. However, we expect the technical picture to improve in 2023, as the bond bear market of 2022 made securitization and mortgage origination dynamics extraordinarily challenging. Not only is mortgage origination expected to decline dramatically, but NA RMBS supply also is expected to plummet in 2023 after years of significant gross issuance. In fact, we expect gross issuance to decline by 60% in 2023. Given our expectations of improving demand from money managers and pensions in 2023, the lack of supply in a shrinking market with stable fundamentals presents a favorable technical backdrop for potential spread tightening.

Asset-backed securities (ABS) are the Fund’s second-largest exposure, at 10%, and they produced a total return of -6.64% during the period, detracting 0.17% from Fund performance. Delinquency rates on consumer loan products such as credit cards and auto loans are also starting to normalize, increasing from historically low levels. While we are cautious about subprime versus prime consumer areas of ABS, often the perceived credit weakness ahead is less than what is priced into current valuations. ABS spreads are near their widest levels since April/May 2020. In our view, even the bottom tranches of the subprime auto and consumer loan ABS sectors should hold up well, as the cushions are sufficient for a slow deterioration to a mild recession. Diversification with respect to issuers, deals, and tenure shows attractive value within the space. Seasoning and robust structural support coupled with the deeply discounted prices of most areas of consumer ABS more than compensate investors for the perceived credit risk ahead, considering our expectations of a mild recession in 2023.

What is your outlook for 2023, and how is the Fund positioned?

Looking to 2023, we believe equity earnings will begin to come under pressure as the Fed rate hikes take hold. We think this will be beneficial to fixed-income flows, and we see them turning positive in the first quarter of 2023, considering how under-allocated U.S. households are to fixed income and how enticing yield levels are. Also, we expect interest rate volatility to decline as the Fed reaches the end of this hiking cycle, and we expect issuance volumes to slow, which should be very supportive of mortgage and structured product spreads. We believe structured credit will be a primary focus for allocators, as some areas of AAA structured credit trade wider than BBB corporate bonds, and current coupon agency mortgage-backed securities spreads are comparable to the entire Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index and come with government backing.

Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower-rated and nonrated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities do. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of, including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity, and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Derivatives involve risks different from – and in certain cases, greater than – the risks presented by more traditional investments. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as illiquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management, and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lead to losses that are greater than the amount invested. The Fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. The Fund may use leverage, which may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio or higher and duplicative expenses when it invests in mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment companies. For more information on these risks and other risks of the Fund, please see the Prospectus.

Bond ratings are grades given to the bonds to indicate their credit quality as determined by rating agencies including, but not limited to, S&P and Moody’s. The firm evaluates a bond issuer’s financial strength, or its ability to pay a bond’s principal and interest in a timely fashion. Ratings are expressed as letters ranging from AAA, which is the highest grade, to D, which is the lowest grade. In limited situations, when a rating agency has not issued a formal rating, the adviser will classify the security as nonrated.

Definitions:

Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (AMBS): Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE).

Asset-Backed Securities (ABS): Securities created by buying and bundling loans – such as residential mortgage loans, commercial loans or student loans – and creating securities backed by those assets, which are then sold to investors.

Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index: An unmanaged index that measures the performance of the investment-grade universe of bonds issued in the United States. The index includes institutionally traded U.S. Treasury, government-sponsored, mortgage, and corporate securities. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index: An index that measures the investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bond market. It includes USD-denominated securities publicly issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility and financial issuers.

Cash Flow: Periodic coupons received by the bondholder during their holding period.

Non-Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (NA RMBS): Securities issued by private institutions such as trusts and special-purpose vehicles. These bonds are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or GSEs. They typically have a more sophisticated subordination structure, which redirects the aggregate principal and interest cash flow of the underlying collateral to the individual RMBS bonds based on a set of rules, which are designed to create tranches with specific risk, coupon, and maturity characteristics.

Non-Qualified Mortgage (Non-QM): A loan that does not meet the standards of a qualified mortgage and uses non-traditional methods of income verification to help a borrower get approved for a home loan.

Prime Jumbo: Prime jumbo mortgages are non-agency loans typically because the lending amount exceeds the conforming loan limits. These tend to be high-quality mortgages with high credit scores that, for the most part, comply with agency mortgage underwriting guidelines.

Reperforming Loan (RPL): A mortgage that had become delinquent because the borrower fell behind on payments by at least 90 days but returned to “performing” status because the borrower has resumed making payments.

Spread: The difference in yield between two bonds of similar maturity but different credit quality.

Subprime: Subprime mortgages are extended to borrowers with low credit scores. In general, these borrowers have damaged credit or limited credit history along with minimal income and asset verification. Due to the higher default risk associated with these borrowers, lenders tend to charge a higher interest rate on subprime loans.

Tranche: A portion of debt or structured financing. Each portion, or tranche, is one of several related securities offered at the same time but with different risks, rewards, and maturities.

Angel Oak Financials Income Impact Fund

How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023, the Fund’s Institutional Shares (ANFIX) returned -5.37% while the Fund’s A Shares (ANFLX) and C Shares (AFLCX) returned -5.59% and -6.79%, respectively.1 During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate 3-5 Year Index, returned -4.85%.

What were the main contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance during the period?

The financial sector accounts for substantially all of the Fund’s assets. There are three areas of primary focus within the financial sector: community bank debt, nonbank financials debt, and community bank equity. The Fund’s financial sector asset allocation comprises 72% of assets in community bank debt, 20% of assets in nonbank financials, and 6% of assets in community bank equities. In addition, 1% of Fund assets are in cash and other assets.

Financials debt modestly underperformed the benchmark due to the rally in rates in January 2023. Community bank sub-debt in particular tends to lag broader corporate credit spread tightening and widening given the niche market characteristics of the asset class and its low duration profile.

Despite the significant volatility of 2022, banks have proven resilient, helped by top line growth, strong credit quality, and higher earnings. Net interest margin (NIM) expanded rapidly as the Fed raised rates faster than anticipated, and loan demand surged post-pandemic. As a minor offset, fee income declined, with mortgage refinancings grinding to a halt as interest rates rose, posing only a modest headwind when compared with the growth in net interest income.

By contrast, the normalization of liquidity proved more of a trial than anticipated. The unprecedented deposit inflows from the Paycheck Protection Program and negligible loan growth during COVID-19 drove historically low loan-to-deposit ratios and rapid growth in banks’ securities portfolios. As rates rose, unrealized losses began accruing in investment portfolios, impacting accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and tangible capital levels. Given the conservative nature of banks’ securities portfolios, we do not expect material permanent impairments, but the unrealized losses have caused banks to become more prudent in terms of capital management (pausing share buybacks) as well as to take steps to minimize further volatility (moving parts of portfolios from “available for sale” to “held to maturity”). While the subsequent rate moves should help alleviate some of the AOCI pressure, these constraints could negatively impact banks that are running on thinner levels of capital and liquidity.

What is your outlook for 2023, and how is the Fund positioned?

As we sit late in the Fed rate hike cycle, banks are nearing peak NIM expansion while credit remains early cycle. We believe 2023 is setting up to be a more difficult year from a fundamental earnings perspective, as banks hit peak NIM early in 2023 and top-line slows while credit costs increase over the balance of the year. Underlying balance sheet strength, including historically low levels of credit losses, coupled with tighter underwriting and high levels of capital, drives our positive view on bank debt in the year ahead. By contrast, we expect bank equities will generally be under pressure from slowing earnings growth, though there are pockets of opportunity in the community bank space, particularly as mergers and acquisitions (M&A) rebound.

We expect banks are near peak NIM expansion and higher funding costs will supersede higher loan yields going forward. Concurrently, we expect loan growth will decelerate in the face of tighter financial conditions (tighter underwriting, wider spreads, and slowing demand).

Additionally, we expect pandemic-related stimulus programs will make for a credit cycle unlike any other. Consumers and businesses benefited from these government stimulus programs throughout the COVID-19 period, resulting in higher levels of liquidity and historically low credit losses for the banking sector. As inflation eats into excess savings, higher interest rates impact loan affordability, and unemployment rises, loan losses will rise from today’s trough levels. Lower-income consumers in particular will increasingly have to prioritize their payments, focusing first on food, shelter, and energy. The good news? Banks are well equipped to handle the coming credit normalization given high levels of reserves and capital. We also note that banks have significantly de-risked their lending portfolios post-Global Financial Crisis (GFC).

We believe 2023 could experience heightened M&A activity. Expenses remain high against the current inflationary backdrop, and we expect M&A will accelerate as rate hikes run their course and funding costs move higher. Compensation costs account for the bulk of banks’ expense bases, and technology remains a necessary investment, both from a cybersecurity and a competitive perspective. Bank M&A is a value-enhancing proposition to both the acquirer and acquiree, as cost savings are material and measurable.

We prefer traditional spread-based business models (community banks) versus regional and money center banks at this point in the cycle. We expect community banks will benefit from their relationship-driven business models, strong core deposit franchises, and lower consumer exposure.

We expect credit normalization over the course of 2023, from levels that are currently better than 2019/pre-COVID-19. Nonperforming asset levels remain strong, sitting at the lowest level since the GFC. Industry profitability and capital levels remain strong, providing a sizable cushion for any adverse credit events. We remain disciplined in our underwriting, with particular emphasis on credit, liquidity, and interest rate risks.

Across the financial services landscape more broadly, we see select opportunities for investment-grade small-cap insurance senior debt and residential mortgage REIT common and preferred equities. We do not anticipate our subsector allocations within financial services will change materially in 2023.

The Fund may use leverage, which may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio or higher and duplicative expenses when it invests in mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment companies. The Fund will invest in high-yield securities (also known as “junk bonds”), and securities that are not rated by any rating agencies. These high-yield securities will generally be rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group or will be of equivalent quality rating from another Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization. The Fund’s ESG impact investment strategy limits the universe of investment opportunities available to the Fund and will affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers, sectors, regions and types of investments, which may result in the Fund forgoing opportunities to buy or sell certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so. For more information on these risks and other risks of the Fund, please see the Prospectus.

On September 22, 2022, the Fund’s name was changed to “Angel Oak Financials Income Impact Fund,” and certain changes were made to the Fund’s investment strategies. As a result, the Fund’s performance during periods prior to this date may have differed had the Fund’s current investment policies and strategies been in place at those times.

Angel Oak High Yield Opportunities Fund

How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023, the Fund’s Institutional Shares (ANHIX) returned -2.89% while the Fund’s A Shares (ANHAX) returned -3.13%.1 During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index, returned -5.22%.

What were the main contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance during the period?

The corporate bond allocation, which accounted for 78.4% of the Fund’s asset allocation as of January 31, 2023, returned -2.26%, outperforming the benchmark return of -5.22%, and accounted for -313 basis points of the total return of the Fund. The largest positive contributor to performance was the energy sector, which was primarily driven by investment selection. The contribution was broad-based across holdings, with the biggest contribution from a position in an offshore jack-up driller that is benefiting from the favorable supply-demand fundamentals for oil and gas, strong demand for drilling rigs, and rising day rates.

Consumer noncyclical was the second-largest positive contributor to performance. The positive attribution was also driven primarily by investment selection. The largest contribution was from a position in a global meat processor and packager that has benefited from an improved supply-demand balance, partly driven by the pandemic, and was upgraded to investment grade.

The largest detractor from performance was the electrics sector. The negative attribution was due to investment selection and entirely attributable to an independent power producer whose primary market is the PJM (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland), where capacity prices had been weak. The issuer’s financial stress, arising from weak power prices and unexpected losses due to winter storm Uri, was compounded by the need to post additional collateral related to existing hedges that were underwater as forward prices rose.

The Fund initiated its repositioning to include a minimum allocation of 20% to structured products as described in the Fund’s prospectus dated December 31, 2022. The repositioning is taking advantage of the multiple standard deviation widening of non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (NA RMBS). The structured production allocation contributed 24 basis points to the total return of the Fund.

What is your outlook for 2023, and how is the Fund positioned?

Corporate operating performance has remained relatively positive, with corporations able to raise prices, offsetting inflationary pressures, and maintain margins and cash flow. However, early economic indicators are flashing caution. As a result of tightening monetary policy, economic fundamentals as measured by weakening Institute for Supply Management surveys, sharply tighter commercial and industrial lending standards, and early signs that loan growth has peaked are pointing to weaker aggregate demand and slowing economic growth. Although the Fed has reduced its pace of interest rate increases and could potentially engineer a soft landing, the cumulative interest rate increases to date are having an impact. Corporate credit valuations potentially are not reflective of the impact on corporate credit fundamentals and credit profiles associated with a weaker economic environment. Interest rate-sensitive sectors such as housing, which is also under pressure from the Fed’s quantitative tightening program, have significantly underperformed. Given the recent underperformance of structured products, including NA RMBS and asset-backed securities, relative to corporate credit and in conjunction with the focus on risk and reward, the Fund will increase its allocation to structured products and reduce its allocation to corporate bonds while continuing to emphasize high-quality issuers that generate positive free cash flow and have improving credit profiles.

Angel Oak UltraShort Income Fund

How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023, the Fund’s Institutional Shares (AOUIX) returned -2.24%, while the Fund’s A Shares (AOUAX) returned -2.42%. During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Short Treasury: 9-12 Months Index, returned 0.18%. Additionally, since inception on July 22, 2022, the Fund’s A1 Shares (AOUNX) returned -0.25% for the period ended January 31, 2023.1 The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Short Treasury: 9-12 Months Index, was up 0.86% over the same period.

What were the main contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance during the period?

The primary contributors to annual performance were income, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), asset-backed securities (ABS), and Treasuries. The primary detractors were a longer spread duration and higher allocation to securitized credit than the benchmark. The Fund maintained an effective duration similar to the benchmark during the year, while widening credit spreads were the primary cause of underperformance, given the higher allocation to securitized credit and a longer spread duration in credit. Given current valuations, the Fund is set up well to potentially benefit from this much higher-yielding environment and the wide spread basis between securitized and corporate credit.

The government/credit allocation was decreased, as securitized spreads ended the year wider relative to government assets. Government/credit ended the period at 10%/90%. As credit underperformed rates for the period, the Fund looked to make allocation changes in each sector to better position the portfolio for 2023. The government allocation continues to focus on a diversified mix of primarily fixed- and floating-rate agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), Treasuries, and cash. The cash allocation was reduced, as the government allocation focused on floating-rate agency CMBS as spreads underperformed and the average price of that allocation reached $98.50, to end the year with an average spread of 76 basis points (bps). The duration of the government allocation is approximately four months.

Shareholder outflows across the entire industry looked to be a headwind for securitized spreads in the fourth quarter of 2022, setting up for a much better technical environment in the first quarter of 2023. Seasonal technicals have the potential to drive spread performance in the first half of the year. We believe markets are beginning to price in peak Fed policy, which would set up an attractive opportunity to own 1-year, fixed-rate, high-quality assets.

The ABS allocation produced a total return of 0.10%, contributing 9 bps to Fund performance. ABS spreads remained volatile throughout the year, ending at +266 in the Fund. The Fund continued to reposition into more-attractive, short-duration ABS bonds throughout the year. The average spread in ABS auto increased to an approximate maximum of 300 bps in the fourth quarter of 2022 but started to tighten in January 2023. Spreads ended the period well wide of the since-inception average.

The residential mortgage credit allocation continued to be under pressure but appears to offer the best relative value in short-duration credit. Residential mortgage credit detracted 2.84% from Fund performance for the period. Agency mortgage spreads reached their widest levels of the cycle at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2022, putting upward pressure on short-duration AAA non-agency spreads as well. The mortgage credit allocation widened in the fourth quarter of 2022, to an average nominal spread wide of 300 in the Fund but ended the period at 251 bps. Issuance finally eased in the fourth quarter of 2022, and buy axes started to appear late in the quarter after agency mortgage-backed securities (AMBS) spreads started to normalize. From a positioning perspective, the Fund looked to effectively maintain exposure in short-duration, investment-grade tranches of non-QM and prime jumbo floating-rate bonds, as the portfolio management team became more convicted within non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (NA RMBS) spreads heading into 2023. The allocation to NA RMBS overall decreased to 25% of Fund assets to right-size the allocation amid current levels of high volatility. As volatility subsides over the coming months and quarters, in addition to an expected sharp fall in supply, we believe the NA RMBS allocation should outperform, given current valuations.

CLOs returned 3.32% for the period, contributing 34 bps to Fund performance. CLOs were the star performer in the Fund for the period. The floating-rate component has been a major contributor to performance in 2022. Underlying bank loan performance outperformed fixed-rate, high-yield corporate credit. The Fund’s focus on very-short-maturity, primarily AAA-rated tranches helped reduce the impact of market volatility on prices. Given spread widening and the rapid run-up in front-end rates, short-duration AAA-rated CLO yields are now in the 6%-7% range, providing investors with historically attractive return potential in very high-quality assets that should act like a buffer in uncertain times. The CLO allocation was maintained during the year to end the period at 12% of Fund assets. As of the end of the period, the average price was $99.6 and the yield to effective maturity was 6.2% (a 150 spread). Corporate bonds and CMBS continue to be minor, tactical allocations within the Fund, at approximately 7% of Fund assets in total.

What is your outlook for 2023, and how is the Fund positioned?

Looking to 2023, we believe equity earnings will begin to come under pressure as the Fed rate hikes take hold. We think this will be beneficial to fixed-income flows, and we see them turning positive in the first quarter of 2023, considering how under-allocated U.S. households are to fixed income and how enticing yield levels are. Also, we expect interest rate volatility to decline as the Fed reaches the end of this hiking cycle, and we expect issuance volumes to slow, which should be very supportive of mortgage and structured product spreads. We believe structured credit will be a primary focus for allocators, as some areas of AAA structured credit trade wider than BBB corporate bonds and current coupon AMBS spreads are comparable to the entire Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index and come with government backing.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. The Fund’s derivative investments have risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and the underlying asset, rate or index, which creates the possibility that the loss on such instruments may be greater than the gain in the value of the underlying asset, rate or index; the loss of principal; the possible default of the other party to the transaction; and illiquidity of the derivative investments. The Fund may invest in illiquid securities and restricted securities. Investments in restricted securities could have the effect of increasing the amount of the Fund’s assets invested in illiquid securities if qualified institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase these securities. Changes in interest rates generally will cause the value of fixed-income instruments held by the Fund to vary inversely to such changes. Below investment grade instruments are commonly referred to as “junk” or high-yield instruments and are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Lower grade instruments may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns. The price paid by the Fund for asset-backed securities, including CLOs, the yield the Fund expects to receive from such securities and the average life of such securities are based on a number of factors, including the anticipated rate of prepayment of the underlying assets. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to the general risks associated with investing in real estate securities; that is, they may lose value if the value of the underlying real estate to which a pool of mortgages relates declines. For more information on these risks and other risks of the Fund, please see the Prospectus.

Bond ratings are grades given to the bonds to indicate their credit quality as determined by rating agencies including, but not limited to, S&P and Moody’s. The firm evaluates a bond issuer’s financial strength, or its ability to pay a bond’s principal and interest in a timely fashion. Ratings are expressed as letters ranging from AAA, which is the highest grade, to D, which is the lowest grade. In limited situations, when a rating agency has not issued a formal rating, the adviser will classify the security as nonrated.

Angel Oak Total Return Bond Fund

How did the Fund perform during the period?

For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023, the Fund’s Institutional Shares (AOIIX) returned -8.32%. During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -8.36%. The Fund outperformed the benchmark by 4 basis points (bps) during the period.

What were the main contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance during the period?

The positive contribution from income and the Fund’s more than 150 bps yield advantage over the benchmark was more than offset by the negative contribution from price performance. Within the credit strategies, the securitized bonds overweight versus corporate bonds was a detractor, as corporate bond spreads outperformed securitized bond spreads. The Fund’s duration was shorter than the benchmark for most of the fourth quarter of 2022 during a period when the yield curve bear flattened significantly, with the 3s/10s curve flattening 276 bps and the 2s/10s curve flattening 130 bps. Duration strategies were a positive contributor to performance, while the underweight to longer-spread-duration corporate credit was a primary detractor.

The Fund’s yield-to-maturity increased to end the period at 6.3%, rising approximately 350 bps over the year, from 2.8%. The effective duration of the Fund increased to a more neutral position as the portfolio management team became more constructive on duration heading into 2023. The average duration ended the year at 6.5, longer than the benchmark of 6.3, and with an average spread of 249 bps. The Fund ended the quarter positioned with a longer duration and a higher yield than the benchmark.

GOVERNMENT ATTRIBUTION

The government and cash allocation increased year over year, from 32% to 38%. The U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities (AMBS) allocation ended the period at 35%, with an overweight to agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) at 31%, versus agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) at 4%. The agency RMBS allocation increased sharply year over year, from 5% to 31%. Agency RMBS are at historically attractive spreads, as rate volatility remains elevated. Agency CMBS was reduced sharply year over year from 17% to 4%. The contribution from the agency RMBS allocation was 15 bps, while the attribution from agency CMBS was -2.68%. The Treasury allocation attribution was -1.12%, while the cash and equivalents attribution was 5 bps.

CREDIT ATTRIBUTION

For the year, the corporate credit allocation decreased 4%, to 21% of Fund assets. The corporate credit allocation had a contribution of -1.19% for the period. The contribution from corporate bonds outperformed the benchmark, primarily due to the underweight duration positioning, in the 4-to-5-year range versus over 7 years for the benchmark. The corporate credit allocation ended the period with a spread advantage of 319 bps versus the benchmark of 117 bps.

Securitized credit underperformed corporate credit for the period, but the spread duration was much shorter than investment-grade corporate bonds in the benchmark. Sharp widening of agency RMBS spreads at the end of the third quarter of 2022 and widening liquidity premiums versus corporate bonds were the main drivers of spread underperformance in the period. The securitized credit allocation had a negative contribution of 2.94% for the period.

What is your outlook for 2023, and how is the Fund positioned?

Looking to 2023, we believe equity earnings will begin to come under pressure as the Fed rate hikes take hold. We think this will be beneficial to fixed-income flows, and we see them turning positive in the first quarter of 2023, considering how under-allocated U.S. households are to fixed income and how enticing yield levels are. Also, we expect interest rate volatility to decline as the Fed reaches the end of this hiking cycle, and we expect issuance volumes to slow, which should be very supportive of mortgage and structured product spreads. We believe structured credit will be a primary focus for allocators, as some areas of AAA structured credit trade wider than BBB corporate bonds, and current coupon AMBS spreads are comparable to the entire Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index and come with government backing.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Derivatives involve risks different from, and in certain cases, greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as illiquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested. The Fund may use leverage, which may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio or higher and duplicative expenses when it invests in mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment companies. For more information on these risks and other risks of the Fund, please see the Prospectus.

Angel Oak UltraShort Income ETF

How did the Fund perform during the period?

Since inception on October 24, 2022, the Angel Oak UltraShort Income ETF (the Fund) returned 1.90% based on market price and 1.92% based on net asset value for the period ended January 31, 2023. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bills Index, was up 1.10% over the same period. The Fund, which launched during the fourth quarter of 2022, was focused on ramping up the allocation toward the strategic allocation.

What were the main contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance during the period?

The primary contributors to performance were income return from asset-backed securities (ABS) and Treasuries and price return from ABS. The Fund maintained an effective duration in the range of 3-10 months since Fund inception. Given current valuations, the Fund is set up well to potentially benefit from this much higher-yielding environment and the wide basis between securitized and corporate credit.

The government/credit allocation continued to decrease since inception as opportunities were identified in securitized credit, corporate credit, and agencies. Government/credit ended the period at 20%/80%. The portfolio was initially allocated to Treasury bills with a yield north of 4%. By the end of the period, the 20% allocation to government exposure was allocated 67% to Treasuries, 22% to agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), and 11% to agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). The duration of the government allocation is approximately 12 months.

The ABS allocation produced a total return of 2.79%, contributing 1.03% to Fund performance. ABS spreads remained volatile in the fourth quarter of 2022 but started to tighten in January 2023, ending the period at 142 bps (basis points) in the Fund. The Fund continued to reposition into more-attractive, short-duration ABS opportunities. Shareholder outflows across the entire industry looked to be a headwind for securitized spreads in 2022, setting up for a much better technical environment in the first quarter of 2023. Seasonal technicals have the potential to drive spread performance in the first half of 2023. We believe markets are beginning to price in peak Fed policy, setting up an attractive opportunity to own 1-year, fixed-rate, high-quality assets.

The residential mortgage credit allocation continued to be under pressure in the fourth quarter of 2022 but appears to offer the best relative value in short-duration credit. Residential mortgage credit has contributed 18 bps to Fund performance since inception. Agency mortgage spreads reached their widest levels of the cycle at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2022, putting upward pressure on short-duration AAA non-agency spreads as well. The mortgage credit allocation widened in the fourth quarter of 2022 but started to improve in January 2023. Issuance finally eased in the fourth quarter of 2022, and buy axes started to appear late in the quarter after agency mortgage-backed securities (AMBS) spreads started to normalize. From a positioning perspective, the Fund ramped up exposure in a diversified mix of primarily investment-grade tranches of non-qualified mortgage, nonperforming loans, reperforming loans, prime jumbo, and single-family rental. The portfolio management team believes non-agency mortgage-backed securities spreads are at the most attractive level since the summer of 2020. The allocation ended the year at 19% of Fund assets, with an average spread of 399 bps.

Collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) returned 2.53% since inception, contributing 20 bps to Fund performance. The floating-rate component was a major contributor to CLO performance in 2022 overall. Underlying bank loan performance outperformed fixed-rate, high-yield corporate credit. The Fund’s focus was on very-short-maturity, AAA-rated tranches. The rapid run-up in front-end rates in 2022 had led to short-duration AAA-rated CLO yields in the 6%-7% range, providing investors with historically attractive return potential in very high-quality assets. The CLO allocation ended the period at 8% of Fund assets, with an average price of $99.2 and a yield to effective maturity of 6.2% (a 165 spread). Corporate bonds are a minor, tactical allocation within the Fund, at approximately 4% of Fund assets.

What is your outlook for 2023, and how is the Fund positioned?

Looking to 2023, we believe equity earnings will begin to come under pressure as the Fed rate hikes take hold. We think this will be beneficial to fixed-income flows, and we see them turning positive in the first quarter of 2023, considering how under-allocated U.S. households are to fixed income and how enticing yield levels are. Also, we expect interest rate volatility to decline as the Fed reaches the end of this hiking cycle, and we expect issuance volumes to slow, which should be very supportive of mortgage and structured product spreads. We believe structured credit will be a primary focus for allocators, as some areas of AAA structured credit trade wider than BBB corporate bonds and current coupon AMBS spreads are comparable to the entire Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index and come with government backing.

Angel Oak Income ETF

How did the Fund perform during the period?

Since inception on November 7, 2022, the Angel Oak Income ETF (the Fund) returned 2.49% based on market price and 2.41% based on net asset value for the period ending January 31, 2023. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, was up 7.07% over the same period. The Fund, which launched during the fourth quarter of 2022, was focused on ramping up the allocation toward the strategic allocation.

What were the main contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance during the period?

The primary contributors to performance were price return from collateralized loan obligations, interest return from Treasuries, and both price and interest return from non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (NA RMBS). The Fund maintained an effective duration of around three years once ramping up from Fund inception. Inflation data remained challenging and continued to result in dramatically more-hawkish Fed rhetoric and expectations. Structured credit spreads, notably NA RMBS, also continued to widen, while agency mortgage-backed securities (AMBS) reversed course slightly as interest rate volatility continued to soar.

NA RMBS currently stands at approximately 45% of the Fund and produced a total return of 4.00% during the period, contributing 0.87% to Fund performance. From a dollar price perspective, NA RMBS prices in our strategy are at levels last seen in 2011, and loss-adjusted yields range from 6% to 15% in high-quality cash flows, with robust structural credit protection, and are backed by U.S. homes. We favor most subsectors of NA RMBS due to deeply discounted dollar prices with prepayment and call upside potential, as the market is currently priced for maximum extension. The opportunity to own very attractive loss-adjusted yields is available in most NA RMBS subsectors, but in the current environment, we prefer the following subsectors: senior and mezzanine tranches of prime jumbo 2.0, senior and mezzanine tranches of non-qualified mortgages, senior legacy NA RMBS, mortgage insurance, and reperforming loan securitizations. These sectors have been under significant pressure, particularly in the second half of 2022, but in our view offer extraordinarily attractive total return potential from here. We expect NA RMBS spreads to tighten on the heels of declining implied volatility and peak policy in 2023. Spread tightening coupled with current loss-adjusted yields approaching 10% in our strategy increase the potential for double-digit total return opportunities on the heels of the prior volatility storms.

Stable fundamentals have been evident in NA RMBS over the past several years, but the technical picture has been challenging due to robust issuance in 2021 and 2022. However, we expect the technical picture to improve in 2023, as the bond bear market of 2022 made securitization and mortgage origination dynamics extraordinarily challenging. Not only is mortgage origination expected to decline dramatically, but NA RMBS supply also is expected to plummet in 2023 after years of significant gross issuance. In fact, we expect gross issuance to decline by 60% in 2023. Given our expectations of improving demand from money managers and pensions in 2023, the lack of supply in a shrinking market with stable fundamentals presents a favorable technical backdrop for potential spread tightening.

Asset-backed securities (ABS) are the second-largest credit exposure, at 18%, and they produced a total return of 4.45% during the period, contributing 0.38% to Fund performance. Delinquency rates on consumer loan products, such as credit cards and auto loans, are also starting to normalize, increasing from historically low levels. While we are cautious about subprime versus prime consumer areas of ABS, often the perceived credit weakness ahead is less than what is priced into current valuations. ABS spreads are near their widest levels since April/May 2020. In our view, even the bottom tranches of the subprime auto and consumer loan ABS sectors should hold up well, as the cushions are sufficient for a slow deterioration to a mild recession. Diversification with respect to issuers, deals, and tenure shows attractive value within the space. Seasoning and robust structural support coupled with the deeply discounted prices of most areas of consumer ABS more than compensate investors for the perceived credit risk ahead, considering our expectations of a mild recession in 2023.

What is your outlook for 2023, and how is the Fund positioned?

Looking to 2023, we believe equity earnings will begin to come under pressure as the Fed rate hikes take hold. We think this will be beneficial to fixed-income flows, and we see them turning positive in the first quarter of 2023, considering how under-allocated U.S. households are to fixed income and how enticing yield levels are. Also, we expect interest rate volatility to decline as the Fed reaches the end of this hiking cycle, and we expect issuance volumes to slow, which should be very supportive of mortgage and structured product spreads. We believe structured credit will be a primary focus for allocators, as some areas of AAA structured credit trade wider than BBB corporate bonds, and current coupon AMBS spreads are comparable to the entire Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index and come with government backing.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower- rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record or history on which to base their investment decisions. Derivatives involve risks different from, and in certain cases, greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as illiquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested. The Fund may use leverage, which may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio or higher and duplicative expenses when it invests in mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment companies. For more information on these risks and other risks of the Fund, please see the Prospectus.

ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market prices (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The Fund is an actively managed ETF, which is a fund that trades like other publicly traded securities. The Fund is not an index fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

Bond ratings are grades given to the bonds to indicate their credit quality as determined by rating agencies including, but not limited to, S&P and Moody’s. The firm evaluates a bond issuer’s financial strength, or its ability to pay a bond’s principal and interest in a timely fashion. Ratings are expressed as letters ranging from AAA, which is the highest grade, to D, which is the lowest grade. In limited situations, when a rating agency has not issued a formal rating, the adviser will classify the security as nonrated.

Definitions:

Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (AMBS): Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE).

Asset-Backed Securities (ABS): Securities created by buying and bundling loans – such as residential mortgage loans, commercial loans or student loans – and creating securities backed by those assets, which are then sold to investors.

Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index: An unmanaged index that measures the performance of the investment-grade universe of bonds issued in the United States. The index includes institutionally traded U.S. Treasury, government sponsored, mortgage and corporate securities.

Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index: An index that measures the investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bond market. It includes USD-denominated securities publicly issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility and financial issuers.

Cash Flow: Periodic coupons received by the bondholder during their holding period.

Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO): A single security backed by a pool of debt.

Credit Spread: The difference in yield between two bonds of similar maturity but different credit quality.

Current Coupon: Refers to a security that is trading closest to its par value without going over par. In other words, the bond’s market price is at or near to its issued face value.

Duration: Measures a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Generally, the longer the duration, the greater the price change relative to interest rate movements.

Non-Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (NA RMBS): Securities issued by private institutions such as trusts and special-purpose vehicles. These bonds are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or GSEs. They typically have a more sophisticated subordination structure, which redirects the aggregate principal and interest cash flow of the underlying collateral to the individual RMBS bonds based on a set of rules, which are designed to create tranches with specific risk, coupon, and maturity characteristics.

Non-Qualified Mortgage (Non-QM): A loan that does not meet the standards of a qualified mortgage and uses non-traditional methods of income verification to help a borrower get approved for a home loan.

Prime Jumbo: Prime jumbo mortgages are non-agency loans typically because the lending amount exceeds the conforming loan limits. These tend to be high-quality mortgages with high credit scores that, for the most part, comply with agency mortgage underwriting guidelines.

Reperforming Loan (RPL): A mortgage that had become delinquent because the borrower fell behind on payments by at least 90 days but returned to “performing” status because the borrower has resumed making payments.

Spread: The difference in yield between two bonds of similar maturity but different credit quality.

Subprime: Subprime mortgages are extended to borrowers with low credit scores. In general, these borrowers have damaged credit or limited credit history along with minimal income and asset verification. Due to the higher default risk associated with these borrowers, lenders tend to charge a higher interest rate on subprime loans.

Tranche: A portion of debt or structured financing. Each portion, or tranche, is one of several related securities offered at the same time but with different risks, rewards, and maturities.

Angel Oak Multi-Strategy Income Fund

Multi-Strategy 10 Year Plot Points

 

LOGO

The Fund is the successor to the investment performance of the Angel Oak Multi-Strategy Income Fund (the “Predecessor Multi-Strategy Income Fund”) as a result of the reorganization of the Predecessor Multi-Strategy Income Fund into the Fund on April 10, 2015. Accordingly, the performance information shown in the chart above and table below for periods prior to April 10, 2015 is that of the Predecessor Multi-Strategy Income Fund. The Predecessor Multi-Strategy Income Fund was also advised by the Fund’s investment adviser, Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), and had the same investment objective, policies, and strategies as the Fund.

The chart above assumes an initial investment of $500,000 made on January 31, 2013. Returns shown include the reinvestment of all dividends. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. In the absence of fee waivers and reimbursements, when they are necessary to keep expenses at the expense cap, total return would be reduced. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Index returns do not reflect the effects of fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Summary of Funds’ Expenses – (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Funds, 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 expenses of the Funds. This example 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 is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period.

Actual Expenses

The first lines of the tables below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, 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 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the numbers in the first lines 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 lines of the tables below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios 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 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), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second lines of the tables below are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

A reverse repurchase agreement, although structured as a sale and repurchase obligation, acts as a financing transaction under which the Fund will effectively pledge certain assets as collateral to secure a short-term loan. Generally, the other party to the agreement makes the loan in an amount less than the fair value of the pledged collateral. At the maturity of the reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund will be required to repay the loan and interest and correspondingly receive back its collateral. While used as collateral, the pledged assets continue to pay principal and interest which are for the benefit of the Fund.

The Multi-Strategy Income Fund, Financials Income Impact Fund, High Yield Opportunities Fund, and UltraShort Income Fund are diversified series of the Trust. The Total Return Bond Fund, UltraShort Income ETF, and Income ETF are non-diversified series of the Trust, which means that they can invest a higher percentage of assets in any one issuer. Investing in a non-diversified fund may entail greater risks than is normally associated with more widely diversified funds.

The Financials Income Impact Fund commenced operations on November 3, 2014, under the name “Angel Oak Flexible Income Fund.” On March 16, 2016, shareholders approved a change to the Fund’s fundamental investment policy on the concentration of investments. On December 16, 2018, the Fund’s name was changed to “Angel Oak Financials Income Fund,” and the Fund adopted a new investment policy pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act and made certain other changes to the Fund’s investment strategies. On September 22, 2022, the Fund’s name was changed to “Angel Oak Financials Income Impact Fund.” As a result, the Fund’s performance during periods prior to these dates may have differed had the Fund’s current investment policies and strategies been in place at those times.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION – (continued)

 

The Total Return Bond Fund commenced operations on June 4, 2021, under the name “Angel Oak Core Impact Fund.” On January 3, 2023, the Fund’s name was changed to “Angel Oak Total Return Bond Fund,” and the Fund adopted certain changes to its investment objective and principal investment strategies. As a result, the Fund’s performance during periods prior to these dates may have differed had the Fund’s current investment policies and strategies been in place at those times.

The UltraShort Income ETF and Income ETF (alone, an “ETF”, together, the “ETFs”) list and principally trade their shares on the New York Stock Exchange Arca (“NYSE”) (“Exchange”). Shares of the ETFs trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above the ETFs’ net asset value (“NAV”). The UltraShort Income ETF, will issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares, typically 20,000 shares, called “Creation Units.” The Income ETF will issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in creation units of, typically 50,000 shares. Creation Units will be issued and redeemed in exchange for a portfolio of securities and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash, all of which were in cash during the period. Once created, shares generally will trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in quantities less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of an ETF.

Shares of the ETFs may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed an Authorized Participant Agreement with Quasar Distributors, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Foreside Financial Group, LLC (doing business as ACA Group) (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the ETFs. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. A purchase or redemption (i.e. creation or redemption) transaction fee of $300, payable by the Authorized Participant or Adviser, is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or redemption of Creation Units

Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries – As part of its investment strategy, the Multi-Strategy Income Fund invests directly or, to comply with certain regulations, through its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries, Hyperion Loan Funding Trust (“Hyperion”) and Titan Loan Funding Trust (“Titan”), each a statutory trust organized under the laws of the state of Delaware and incorporated on August 2, 2018. Hyperion and Titan act as investment vehicles in order to purchase residential and commercial real estate whole loans, participations in such loans, or instruments representing the right to receive interest payments and principal due on such loans. The allocation of the Multi-Strategy Income Fund’s investments, if any, in Hyperion or Titan will vary over time and might not include all of the types of investments described below.

On January 31, 2023, investments in Hyperion and Titan represented 0.22% and 0.00% of the total net assets of the Multi-Strategy Income Fund, respectively.

The consolidated financial statements of the Multi-Strategy Income Fund include the investment activity and financial statements of Hyperion and Titan. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Because the Multi-Strategy Income Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in its respective subsidiaries, the Multi-Strategy Income Fund may be considered to be investing indirectly in some of those investments through its subsidiary. For that reason, references to the Multi-Strategy Income Fund may also encompass its subsidiaries.

At January 31, 2023, investments held by Hyperion and Titan included whole loans, valued at $6,684,495 and $–, respectively. In addition, Hyperion and Titan held $104,320 and $252,363 in cash, respectively.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

 

Securities Valuation and Fair Value Measurements: The Funds record their investments at fair value in accordance with fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, during the period. In addition, these standards require expanded disclosure for each major category of assets. 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 (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

   

Level 3: significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

Investments in registered open-end management investment companies, including money market funds, will be valued based upon the NAV of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair values for long-term debt securities, including asset-backed securities (“ABS”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”), collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), corporate obligations, whole loans, and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are normally determined on the basis of valuations provided by independent pricing services. Vendors typically value such securities based on one or more inputs, including but not limited to, benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, quotations from dealers and trading systems, new issues, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities; and pricing models such as yield measurers calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data. In addition to these inputs, MBS and ABS may utilize cash flows, prepayment information, default rates, delinquency and loss assumptions, collateral characteristics, credit enhancements and specific deal information. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent the significant inputs are unobservable; the values generally would be categorized as Level 3.

Equity securities, including preferred stocks, that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global Select Market® and the Nasdaq Capital Market® exchanges (collectively, “Nasdaq”), are valued at the last sale price at the close of that exchange. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-listed or Nasdaq security does not trade, then: (i) the security shall be valued at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices at the close of the exchange; or (ii) the security shall be valued at the latest sales price on the Composite Market (defined below) for the day such security is being valued. “Composite Market” means a consolidation of the trade information provided by national securities and foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets (“OTC”) as published by a pricing service. In the event market quotations or Composite Market pricing are not readily available, fair value will be determined in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (“Board”). All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the over- the counter market. If a non-exchange listed security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted bid and asked price will be used as long as it continues to reflect the value of the security. If the mean is not available, then bid price can be used as long as the bid price continues to reflect the value of the security. Otherwise, fair value will be determined in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Board. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 3 securities. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Funds will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security.

Short term debt securities having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. These investments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements are priced at their acquisition cost, and assessed for credit adjustments, which represents fair value. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 2 securities.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

 

Financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, that are traded on a national securities or commodities exchange are typically valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Swaps, such as credit default swaps, interest-rate swaps and currency swaps, are valued by a pricing service. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as certain futures contracts or swap agreements, derive their values from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, other inputs or a combination of these factors. These instruments are normally valued on the basis of evaluations provided by independent pricing services or broker dealer quotations. Derivatives that use similar valuation techniques as described above are typically categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities may be fair valued in accordance with the fair valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Valuation and Risk Management Oversight Committee is generally responsible for overseeing the Funds’ valuation processes and reports quarterly to the Board. The Board has selected Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) as the Valuation Designee. As such, the Valuation Committee of the Adviser has been delegated the day-to-day responsibilities for making all necessary determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if the prices obtained from independent pricing services are deemed to be unreliable indicators of market or fair value. Representatives of the Valuation Designee’s Valuation Committee report quarterly to the Valuation and Risk Management Oversight Committee.

The following is a summary of the investments by their inputs used to value each Fund’s net assets as of January 31, 2023:

During the year ended January 31, 2023, the Fund recognized $1,552,738 of transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 due to an increase in relevant market activity. See the summary of quantitative information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements for more information.

Significant increases and decreases in the unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. An increase to the unobservable input would result in an increase to the fair value. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect.

Significant increases and decreases in the unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. An increase to the unobservable input would result in an increase to the fair value. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect.

Federal Income Taxes: The Funds intend to elect and continue to qualify to be taxed as “regulated investment companies” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Funds generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. The Funds generally intend to operate in a manner such that they will not be liable for federal income or excise taxes.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

 

The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year or period ended January 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds have reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ Federal and state income and Federal excise tax returns for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Security Transactions and Income Recognition: Investment security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized using the effective yield method, based on each security’s estimated life and recoverable principal and recorded in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Dividend income and corporate transactions, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other ABS are recorded as components of interest income on the Statements of Operations. Payments received from certain investments held by the Funds may be comprised of dividends, capital gains and return of capital. The Funds originally estimate the expected classification of such payments. The amounts may subsequently be reclassified upon receipt of the information from the issuer. The actual character of distributions to the Funds’ shareholders will be reflected in the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year.

Expenses: Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific Fund are allocated to the individual Funds based on each Fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis. Expenses attributable to any class are borne by that class. Income, realized gains and losses, unrealized appreciation and depreciation and expenses are allocated to each class based on the net assets in relation to the relative net assets of each Fund.

Dividends and Distributions: Distributions from each Fund’s net investment income are accrued daily and typically paid monthly. The Funds intend to distribute their net realized long term capital gains and their net realized short term capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the period from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or NAV per share of the Funds. For the year or period ended January 31, 2023, there were no reclassifications.

Share Valuation: The NAV per share of a class of shares of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, attributable to that class, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) attributable to that class by the total number of shares of that class outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ NAV will not be calculated on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Indemnifications: Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust will indemnify its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid assets including coin, currency and short-term investments that typically mature in 30-90 days. Short-term investments can include U.S. Government and government agency securities, investment grade money market instruments, investment grade fixed-income securities, repurchase agreements, commercial paper and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are extremely low risk assets that are liquid and easily converted into cash. These investments are only considered equivalents if they are readily available and are not restricted by some agreement. When the Adviser believes market, economic or political conditions are unfavorable for investors, the Adviser may invest up to 100% of a Fund’s net assets in cash, cash equivalents or other short-term investments. Unfavorable market or economic conditions may include excessive volatility or a prolonged general decline in the securities markets or the U.S. economy. The Adviser also may invest in these types of securities or hold cash while looking for suitable investment opportunities or to maintain liquidity. Included in Investments in unaffiliated securities at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are investments in First American money market funds held at major financial institutions as follows:

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Funds of a security to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Funds to repurchase that security from that party on a future date at a higher price. Proceeds from securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements are reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made are recorded as a component of interest expense on the Statements of Operations. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the counterparty will become subject to bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings or fail to return a security to the Funds. In such situations, the Funds may incur losses as a result of a possible decline in the value of the underlying security during the period while the Funds seek to enforce their rights, a possible lack of access to income on the underlying security during this period, or expenses of enforcing its rights.

The gross obligations for secured borrowing by the type of collateral pledged and remaining time to maturity on reverse repurchase contracts is as follows:

NOTE 3. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PORTFOLIO ASSETS

 

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities and Whole Loan Risks: Prepayment risk is associated with mortgage-backed and ABS, including CLOs, and whole loans. If interest rates fall, the underlying debt may be repaid ahead of schedule, reducing the value of the Funds’ investments. If interest rates rise, there may be fewer prepayments, which would cause the average bond maturity to rise, increasing the potential for the Funds to lose money. The value of these securities may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of issuers, and the creditworthiness of the parties involved. The ability of the Funds to successfully utilize these instruments may depend on the ability of the Funds’ Adviser to forecast interest rates and other economic factors correctly. These securities may have a structure that makes their reaction to interest rate changes and other factors difficult to predict, making their value highly volatile. Certain MBS may be secured by pools of mortgages on single-family, multi-family properties, as well as commercial properties. Similarly, ABS may be secured by pools of loans, such as corporate loans, student loans, automobile loans and credit card receivables. Whole loans are sold in their entirety rather than being pooled with other mortgages. Whole loans are mortgage loans sold to an investor in a secondary market. The investor purchasing the loan assumes full responsibility of the loan and all the contractual terms and rights associated with the funds. The credit risk on such loans is affected by homeowners or borrowers defaulting on their loans. The values of assets underlying mortgage-backed and ABS, including CLOs, may decline and therefore may not be adequate to cover underlying investors. To the extent the Funds focus their investments in particular types of mortgage-backed or ABS, including CLOs, and whole loans, the Funds may be more susceptible to risk factors affecting such types of investments.

Subordinated Debt of Banks and Diversified Financial Companies: The Funds may invest in subordinated debt securities, sometimes also called “junior debt”, which are debt securities for which the issuer’s obligations to make principal and interest payments are secondary to the issuer’s payment obligations to more senior debt securities. Such investments will consist primarily of debt issued by community banks or savings institutions (or their holding companies), which are subordinated to senior debt issued by the banks and deposits held by the bank, but are senior to trust preferred obligations, preferred stock and common stock issued by the bank.

Investment Company Securities: The Funds may invest in the securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), closed-end funds and open-end (mutual) funds (also called underlying funds). When a Fund invests in underlying funds it will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable directly by the underlying fund. In connection with its investments in other investment companies, a Fund will incur higher expenses, many of which may be duplicative. Furthermore, because the Funds may invest in shares of ETFs and underlying funds, their performances are directly related to the ability of the ETFs and underlying funds to meet their respective investment objectives as well as the allocation of each Fund’s assets among the ETFs and underlying funds by the Adviser. Accordingly, the Funds’ investment performance will be influenced by the investment strategies of, and risks associated with, the ETFs and underlying funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets the Funds allocate to the ETFs and underlying funds utilizing such strategies. The Adviser may be subject to potential conflicts of interest in allocating a Fund’s assets to underlying funds, such as a potential conflict in selecting affiliated underlying funds over unaffiliated underlying funds. In addition, a Fund’s portfolio managers may be subject to potential conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund’s assets among underlying funds, as certain of the Fund’s portfolio managers may also manage an affiliated underlying fund in which the Fund may invest. Both the Adviser and a Fund’s portfolio managers have a fiduciary duty to the Fund to act in the Fund’s best interest when selecting underlying funds. Under the oversight of the Board of Trustees, the Adviser will carefully analyze any such potential conflicts of interest and will take steps to minimize and, where possible, eliminate them.

High Yield Securities: The Funds may invest in below investment grade securities. These “high-yield” securities, also known as “junk bonds,” will generally be rated BB or lower by S&P or will be of equivalent quality rating from another Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization, or if unrated, considered by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

Structured Products: The Funds may invest in certain structured products. Normally, structured products are privately offered and sold (that is, they are not registered under the securities laws); however, an active dealer market may exist for structured products that qualify for Rule 144A transactions. The risks of an investment in a structured product depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the structured product in which the Funds invest. In addition to the normal interest rate, default and other risks of fixed income securities, structured products carry additional risks, including the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, the quality of the collateral may

decline in value or default, the Funds may invest in structured products that are subordinate to other classes, values may be volatile and disputes with the issuer may produce unexpected investment results.

Common and Preferred Stocks: The Funds may invest in common stock and preferred stock. Common stock represents an equity (ownership) interest in a company, and usually possesses voting rights and earns dividends. Dividends on common stock are not fixed but are declared at the discretion of the issuer. Common stock generally represents the riskiest investment in a company. In addition, common stock generally has the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential because increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company’s stock price. The Funds may also invest in preferred stock. Preferred stock is a class of stock having a preference over common stock as to the payment of dividends and the recovery of investment should a company be liquidated, although preferred stock is usually junior to the debt securities of the issuer. Preferred stock typically does not possess voting rights and its market value may change based on changes in interest rates.

The fundamental risk of investing in stock is the risk that the value of the stock might decrease. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of an individual company or in response to general market and/or economic conditions. Historically, common stocks have provided greater long-term returns and have entailed greater short-term risks than preferred stocks, fixed-income and money market investments. The market values of all securities, including common and preferred stocks, is based upon the market’s perception of value and not necessarily the book value of an issuer or other objective measures of a company’s worth. If you invest in the Funds, you should be willing to accept the risks of the stock market (to the extent that a Fund invests in common stock) and should consider an investment in the Funds only as a part of your overall investment portfolio.

Warrants: The Funds may invest in warrants. Warrants are securities, typically issued with preferred stock or bonds that give the holder the right to purchase a given number of shares of common stock at a specified price and time. The price of the warrant usually represents a premium over the applicable market value of the common stock at the time of the warrant’s issuance. Warrants have no voting rights with respect to the common stock, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. Investments in warrants involve certain risks, including the possible lack of a liquid market for the resale of the warrants, potential price fluctuations due to adverse market conditions or other factors and failure of the price of the common stock to rise. If the warrant is not exercised within the specified time period, it becomes worthless.

Futures Contracts: The Funds may enter into futures contracts to hedge various investments for risk management as well as speculative purposes. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and can be either cash or securities. Secondary margin limits are required to be maintained while futures are held, as defined by each contract.

During the period a futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the fair value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from the closing transaction and the Fund’s cost of entering into a contract. The use of futures contracts involves the risk of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract and may realize a loss. See Note 4 for information on futures contract activity during the year ended January 31, 2023.

To-Be-Announced Securities: The Funds may invest in to-be-announced securities (“TBAs”). TBAs is a term that is generally used to describe forward-settling MBS. These TBAs are generally issued by U.S. Government Agencies or U.S. Government Sponsored Entities such as Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae. The actual mortgage-backed security that will be delivered to the buyer at the time TBA trades are entered is not known, however, the terms of the acceptable pools of loans that will comprise the mortgage-backed security are determined at the time the trade is entered into (coupon rate, maturity, credit quality, etc.). Investment in TBAs will generally increase the Funds’ exposure to interest rate risk and could also expose the Funds to counterparty default risk. In order to mitigate counterparty default risk, the Funds only enter TBAs with counterparties for which the risk of default is determined to be remote.

NOTE 3. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PORTFOLIO ASSETS – (continued)

 

Macroeconomic Risks: The COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian-Ukrainian war, rising interest rates, heightened inflation, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risks, and economic sanctions have disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invests depends on future developments, including the duration, spread, and conclusion of these global events, and such uncertainty may in turn impact the value of the Funds’ investments.

Balance Sheet Offsetting Information

During the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable netting agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows the Funds to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreement. Generally, the Funds manage their cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of January 31, 2023, the Funds were not subject to any netting agreements.

NOTE 5. FEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS – (continued)

 

Operating Expenses of the Financials Income Impact Fund, the High Yield Opportunities Fund, and Total Return Bond Fund were limited to 0.85%, 0.65%, and 0.59%, respectively.

Effective December 1, 2016, through December 30, 2022, the Adviser voluntarily agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the total annual fund operating expenses after Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursement to 0.69% of the Financials Income Impact Fund’s average daily net assets. This voluntary waiver was in addition to the contractual fee waiver/expense limitation agreement discussed above.

During the year ended January 31, 2023, the Adviser voluntarily waived $615,523 of the Financial Income Impact Fund’s expenses. Fees waived under these voluntary waivers are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.

The contractual waiver and/or reimbursement by the Adviser with respect to the Funds is subject to repayment by the Funds within 36 months following the month in which that particular waiver and/or reimbursement occurred, provided that the Funds are able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitations described above or the expense limitation in effect at the time of the reimbursement (whichever is lower).

Under the Facility, interest is charged a floating rate based on the SOFR rate plus 1.85% and is payable on the last day of each interest period, which was 6.15% as of January 31, 2023. Prior to August 19, 2022, interest was charged a floating rate based on the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 1.60%. For the year ended January 31, 2023, the average principal balance and interest rate was approximately $309,582,418 and 3.96%, respectively. The Multi-Strategy Income Fund is required to pay a commitment fee under the Facility on undrawn amounts, and an additional fee if the level of debt outstanding falls below a certain percentage. During the reporting period the Multi-Strategy Income Fund was required to pay these commitment fees on undrawn amounts, which was 0.40% as of January 31, 2023. For the year ended January 31, 2023, these expense and commitment fees, amounted to $12,751,493 and is included in the Interest expense line item that is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 11. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on the financial statements.

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments other than the following:

On January 31, 2023, the UltraShort Income ETF and Income ETF declared ordinary income distributions to shareholders of record as of February 2, 2023, payable February 3, 2023, as follows:

 

      UltraShort
Income ETF
   Income ETF
Distribution Paid    $207,197    $166,786
Distribution Paid Per Share    $0.22521402    $0.10108238

Management has considered the effects of the current volatility in the banking sector on the portfolio assets of the Financials Income Impact Fund. Management expects the sector to continue to experience volatility in the near term but the measures taken by regulators such as the Bank Term Funding Program and implicit guarantee on deposits have helped reassure the market of the stability of the sector. The Adviser remains confident in the fundamentals of the broader banking sector and community bank sector in particular and expects attractive relative-value investment opportunities in the future.

5. Statement Regarding the Basis for the Approval of the Continuance of Investment Advisory Agreement

Pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), at a telephonic meeting held on August 18, 2022, and an in-person meeting held on September 28-29, 2022 (the “Meetings”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Angel Oak Funds Trust (the “Trust”) considered the approval of the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement” or the “Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Angel Oak Multi-Strategy Income Fund (the “Multi-Strategy Income Fund”), the Angel Oak Financials Income Impact Fund (the “Financials Income Impact Fund”) (formerly the Angel Oak Financials Income Fund), the Angel Oak High Yield Opportunities Fund (the “High Yield Opportunities Fund”), the Angel Oak UltraShort Income Fund (the “UltraShort Income Fund”), and the Angel Oak Total Return Bond Fund (the “Total Return Bond Fund”) (formerly the Angel Oak Core Impact Fund) (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), and Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser” or “Angel Oak”) for a one-year period. The Multi-Strategy Income Fund is the successor in interest to a fund having the same name and investment objective that was included as a series of another investment company, Valued Advisers Trust, and that was also advised by Angel Oak (the “Predecessor Multi-Strategy

Income Fund”). The Predecessor Multi-Strategy Income Fund was reorganized into the Fund on April 10, 2015. The High Yield Opportunities Fund is the successor to the investment performance of the Rainier High Yield Fund (the “Predecessor High Yield Fund”) as a result of the reorganization of the Predecessor High Yield Fund into the Fund on April 15, 2016.

The relevant provisions of the 1940 Act specifically provide that it is the duty of the Board to request and evaluate such information as the Board determines is necessary to allow it to properly consider the renewal of the Agreement, and it is the duty of the Adviser to furnish the Trustees with information that is responsive to their request. Accordingly, in determining whether to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust with respect to the Funds, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information and data relevant to the Board’s consideration. This included materials prepared by the Adviser, the Funds’ administrator and an independent third-party data provider (the “Outside Data Provider”) that provided the Board with information regarding the fees and expenses of each Fund, as compared to other similar mutual funds.

Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds would enable shareholders of the Funds to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including those Trustees who are not considered to be “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from the Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also carefully considered profitability data and the comparative fee and expense information prepared by the Adviser. In considering the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds, the Trustees evaluated a number of factors that they believed, in light of their reasonable business judgment, to be relevant. They based their decision on the following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any one specific consideration or any particular information that was controlling of their decision:

The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. The Trustees concluded that Angel Oak is capable of providing high quality services to each Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past to each Fund, Angel Oak’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to each Fund, the professional qualifications and experience of the portfolio managers of each Fund, Angel Oak’s investment and management oversight processes, and the competitive investment performance of the Funds. The Trustees also determined that Angel Oak proposed to provide investment advisory services that were of the same quality as services it provided to each Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Funds’ operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by Angel Oak, the Trustees concluded that Angel Oak is capable of continuing to generate a level of long-term investment performance that is appropriate in light of each Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other comparable investment companies.

The investment performance of the Funds. With respect to each Fund, the Trustees concluded on the basis of information derived from independent third-party data that Angel Oak had achieved investment performance that was competitive relative to the Fund’s category, as established by the Outside Data Provider (the “Category”), and a smaller peer group of comparable funds (the “Peer Group”) over longer-term trailing periods, and the Trustees took into consideration the fact that Angel Oak focuses on long-term performance results with respect to its management of the Funds and the Funds may have periods of underperformance when measured on a more short-term basis. In considering the performance of the Funds, the Trustees reviewed reports comparing each Fund’s performance to: (i) a Peer Group of comparable mutual funds; (ii) the Fund’s Category; and (iii) the Fund’s benchmark index.

With respect to the Multi-Strategy Income Fund (which commenced operations in June 2011), the Trustees observed that the Fund’s Institutional Class shares had ranked in the third quartile of the Fund’s Peer Group over the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2022, in the second quartile over the five-year period ended June 30, 2022, and in the first quartile over the ten-year period ended June 30, 2022, and for the period since the inception of the Institutional Class shares. They noted that the Fund’s Institutional Class shares had ranked in the third quartile of the Fund’s Category over the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2022, and in the first quartile over the one- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2022, and for the period since the Fund’s inception. The Trustees further noted that the Multi-Strategy Income Fund’s Institutional Class shares had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, over the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2022, and for the period since the inception of the Institutional Class shares.

The Trustees also determined that the net expense ratio of the Multi-Strategy Income Fund, Financials Income Impact Fund, and Total Return Bond Fund was higher than the median net expense ratio in its Peer Group. They noted that the net expense ratio of each of the UltraShort Income Fund and the High Yield Opportunities Fund was lower than the median net expense ratio for funds in their respective Peer Groups. The Board noted that the quality of services provided by Angel Oak and the past long-term performance of the Funds demonstrated that the advisory fee still offered an appropriate value for the Funds and their shareholders. In addition, the Trustees noted that Angel Oak had agreed to limit the operating expenses of each of the classes of shares of the Funds through May 31, 2023.

The Board also reviewed the fees that Angel Oak charges its other clients for discretionary portfolio management services, noting that the firm has a variety of account types with different fee arrangements, including non-U.S. registered funds (UCITS funds) and sub-advised funds that have investment strategies similar to certain of the Funds. The Board considered the fee rates charged by Angel Oak to manage such funds and accounts. The Board took into account the unique management requirements involved in managing a registered investment company as opposed to other types of client accounts.

The Board also reviewed detailed profitability information and considered Angel Oak’s current level of profitability with respect to each Fund, and noted that Angel Oak’s profitability was acceptable and not excessive and consistent with applicable industry

averages and that Angel Oak is committed to using its own resources to help improve the services it provides for the benefit of the Funds. The Trustees also noted that Angel Oak had provided information regarding its methodology for attributing profitability to each Fund, as opposed to its other lines of business. The Trustees also took into consideration the nature and extent of expenses that are borne directly by Angel Oak from its own financial resources to help to market and promote the Funds. Accordingly, on the basis of the Board’s review of the fees to be charged by Angel Oak for investment advisory services, the investment advisory and other services provided to the Funds by Angel Oak, and the estimated profitability of Angel Oak’s relationship with each Fund, the Board concluded that the level of investment advisory fees and Angel Oak’s profitability are appropriate in light of the investment advisory fees, overall expense ratio and investment performance of comparable investment companies and the historical profitability of the relationship between each Fund and Angel Oak. The Trustees considered the profitability of Angel Oak both before and after the impact of the marketing-related expenses that Angel Oak incurs out of its own resources in connection with its management of the Funds.

The extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether the advisory fees reflect possible economies of scale. While it was noted that each Fund’s investment advisory fee will not decrease as the Fund’s assets grow because the Funds are not subject to investment advisory fee breakpoints, the Trustees concluded that each Fund’s investment advisory fee was appropriate in light of the projected size of the Fund and appropriately reflected the current economic environment for Angel Oak and the competitive nature of the mutual fund market. The Trustees then noted that they would have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether each Fund had achieved economies of scale and the appropriateness of investment advisory fees payable to Angel Oak with respect to each Fund, in the future, at which time the implementation of fee breakpoints could be considered. Finally, the Trustees noted the continued improvements made to the Adviser’s infrastructure and services provided to each Fund, which had been funded by the advisory fees received by the Adviser.

Benefits to Angel Oak from its relationship with the Funds (and any corresponding benefits to the Funds). The Trustees concluded that other benefits derived by Angel Oak from its relationship with the Funds are reasonable and fair and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.

Other Considerations. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees determined that Angel Oak has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Funds in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees also concluded that Angel Oak has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Funds, which entails a substantial financial and professional commitment, including the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement under which Angel Oak has undertaken to waive a portion of its fees to the benefit of Fund shareholders to the extent necessary in accordance with the terms of the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement. The Trustees observed that those waivers were subject to recoupment under the terms of the Operating Expense Limitation. The Board also considered matters with respect to the brokerage practices of Angel Oak, including its best-execution procedures, and noted that these were reasonable and consistent with standard industry practice.

Following further discussion and the consideration of questions raised by the Independent Trustees, the Trustees determined that they had received sufficient information relating to each Fund in order to consider the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. It was noted that, in making their determinations, the Trustees had considered and relied upon not only the materials provided to them for use at the Meetings with respect to the proposed contract renewal, but also the information about the Funds and Angel Oak that had been provided to them at the Meetings and throughout the past year in connection with their regular Board meetings. In reaching their conclusion with respect to the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the level of fees paid under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one single factor as being controlling, but, rather, the Board took note of a combination of factors that had influenced their decision-making process. They noted the level and quality of investment advisory services provided by the Adviser to each of the Funds, and they found that these services continued to benefit the shareholders of the Funds and also reflected management’s overall commitment to the continued growth and development of the Funds.

Statement Regarding the Basis for the Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement

Pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), at the organizational meeting held on September 28, 2022 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Angel Oak Funds Trust (the “Trust”) considered and approved the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement” or the “Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Angel Oak UltraShort Income ETF (the “UltraShort Income ETF”) and the Angel Oak Income ETF (the “Income ETF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser” or “Angel Oak”) for an initial two-year period. The relevant provisions of the 1940 Act specifically provide that it is the duty of the Board to request and evaluate such information as the Board determines is necessary to allow it to properly consider the

 

157


Table of Contents

adoption of the Agreement, and it is the duty of the Adviser to furnish the Trustees with information that is responsive to their request.

Accordingly, in determining whether to adopt the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Funds, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information and data relevant to the Board’s consideration. This included materials prepared by the Adviser and by the Funds’ administrator that provided the Board with information regarding the estimated fees and expenses of the Funds, as compared to other similar funds.

Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund would enable shareholders of such Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including those Trustees who are not considered to be “interested persons” of the Funds, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the adoption of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from the Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also carefully considered the projected profitability data and comparative fee and expense information prepared by Fund management. In considering the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds, the Trustees evaluated a number of factors that they believed, in light of their reasonable business judgment, to be relevant. They based their decision on the following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any one specific consideration or any particular information that was controlling of their decision:

The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. The Trustees concluded that Angel Oak is capable of providing high quality services to the Funds, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past to the existing series of the Trust, as well as the Angel Oak Strategic Credit Fund (a registered closed-end management investment company that is operated as an “interval fund”) and Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust (a closed-end management investment company listed on the New York Stock Exchange) (the “Existing Funds”), Angel Oak’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the Existing Funds, the professional qualifications and experience of each of the portfolio managers of the Funds, Angel Oak’s investment and management oversight processes, and the competitive investment performance of the Existing Funds. The Trustees also determined that Angel Oak proposed to provide investment advisory services that were of the same quality as services provided to the Existing Funds, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Funds’ proposed operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided by Angel Oak, the Trustees concluded that Angel Oak is capable of generating a level of long-term investment performance that is appropriate in light of each Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other comparable investment companies, including other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).

The investment performance of the Funds. The Trustees noted that the Funds had not yet commenced operations, and consequently, the Funds’ performance was not relevant to their considerations. The Board considered the past performance of the Existing Funds based on materials provided by Angel Oak and information obtained from an independent third-party data provider. In particular, the Board considered the past performance of the Angel Oak Multi-Strategy Income Fund and the Angel Oak UltraShort Income Fund, which have investment strategies similar to those of the Income ETF and the UltraShort Income ETF, respectively. The Board noted that the performance of the Existing Funds reflected positively on Angel Oak’s experience and ability to successfully implement each Fund’s strategies, and the Trustees observed that the portfolio management team for the Funds would include individuals currently responsible for the Existing Funds.

The cost of advisory services to be provided and the level of profitability. On the basis of comparative information derived from the expense data that was provided to the Board, the Trustees determined that the overall projected expense ratio of each Fund is generally higher than the median expense ratio for funds in its peer group. However, the Board noted that the quality of services provided by Angel Oak and the past performance of the Existing Funds demonstrated that the proposed advisory fees still offered an appropriate value for each Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees also noted that Angel Oak had proposed to contractually limit each Fund’s total operating expenses through at least May 31, 2024.

The Board also reviewed the fees that Angel Oak charges its other clients for discretionary portfolio management services, noting that Angel Oak has a variety of account types with different fee arrangements, noting in particular the Angel Oak Multi-Strategy Income Fund and the Angel Oak UltraShort Income Fund have investment strategies similar to those of the Funds, respectively, as well as certain unregistered funds and accounts that are comparable to the Funds. The Trustees took into account the unique management requirements involved in managing a registered investment company as opposed to other types of client accounts. The Trustees further considered that, unlike the Angel Oak Multi-Strategy Income Fund and the Angel Oak UltraShort Income Fund, each of the Funds would operate pursuant to a unitary fee arrangement, which covers expenses not

 

158


Table of Contents

covered by the Angel Oak Multi-Strategy Income Fund and the Angel Oak UltraShort Income Fund’s investment advisory fees. The Board also noted that, due to the proposed expense limitation agreement, the anticipated net expense ratios of the Funds were considerably lower than those of the Angel Oak Multi-Strategy Income Fund and the Angel Oak UltraShort Income Fund, respectively.

The Board also focused on Angel Oak’s projected level of profitability with respect to the Funds and noted that Angel Oak did not expect to experience profitability with respect to either of the Funds during their first year of operations. Accordingly, on the basis of the Board’s review of the proposed fees to be charged by Angel Oak for the investment advisory and other services to be provided to the Funds by Angel Oak, and the estimated level of profitability from Angel Oak’s relationship with each Fund, the Board concluded that the proposed level of investment advisory fees and Angel Oak’s projected profitability were appropriate in light of the investment advisory fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance of comparable investment companies and the historical profitability of the relationship between the Existing Funds and Angel Oak. The Trustees considered the profitability of Angel Oak both before and after the impact of the marketing-related expenses that Angel Oak expected to incur out of its own resources in connection with its management of the Funds.

The extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether the proposed advisory fee reflects possible economies of scale. Although it was noted that each Fund’s investment advisory fee will not decrease as the Fund’s assets grow because it will not be subject to investment advisory fee breakpoints, the Trustees concluded that each Fund’s proposed investment advisory fee is appropriate and appropriately reflects the current economic environment for Angel Oak and the competitive nature of the market. In this regard, they observed that nearly all of the ETFs in the Funds’ peer groups operate without advisory fee breakpoints and that most of the ETFs in the Funds’ peer groups operate pursuant to a unitary advisory fee structure. The Trustees then noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Funds have achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of the investment advisory fee payable to Angel Oak with respect to the Funds, in the future, at which time the implementation of fee breakpoints on the Funds could be considered.

Benefits to Angel Oak from its relationship with the Funds (and any corresponding benefits to the Funds). The Trustees concluded that other benefits that will be derived by Angel Oak from its relationship with the Funds are reasonable and fair and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.

Other Considerations. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees determined that Angel Oak has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Funds in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees also concluded that Angel Oak has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of each Fund, which entails a substantial financial and professional commitment. The Board also considered matters with respect to the brokerage practices of Angel Oak, including its best-execution procedures, and noted that these were reasonable and consistent with standard industry practice.

Following further discussion and the consideration of questions raised by the Independent Trustees, the Trustees determined that they had received sufficient information relating to the Funds in order to consider the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. It was noted that, in making their determinations, the Trustees had considered and relied upon the materials provided to them for use at the Meeting with respect to the proposed contract and the presentation of the representatives of Angel Oak. In reaching their conclusion with respect to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the level of fees to be paid under the Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one single factor as being controlling; rather, the Trustees took note of a combination of factors that had influenced their decision-making process. They noted the level and quality of investment advisory services provided by Angel Oak to the Existing Funds, and they found that these services will benefit the Funds and their shareholders and also reflected management’s overall commitment to the growth and development of the Funds.

(b) Not applicable.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Mr. Alvin R. Albe, Jr. is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

 

     FYE 01/31/2023      FYE 01/31/2022  

(a) Audit Fees

   $ 250,330      $ 182,500  

(b) Audit-Related Fees

   $ 0      $ 0  

(c) Tax Fees

   $ 28,000      $ 20,000  

(d) All Other Fees

   $ 0      $ 0  

The Audit, Financial and Administrative Oversight Committee has not adopted written pre-approval policies and procedures. Instead, the Committee has the duty and responsibility to pre-approve all auditing services and permissible non-auditing services to be provided to the Funds in accordance with its Charter and the 1940 Act. In addition, the Committee considers matters with respect to the principal accountant’s independence each year. The Committee did not approve any of the audit- related, tax or other non-audit fees described above pursuant to the “de minimis exceptions” set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X.


Table of Contents

The Audit, Financial and Administrative Oversight Committee also has the duty and responsibility to pre-approve those non-audit services provided to the Funds’ investment adviser (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Funds in accordance with the Charter of the Committee and the 1940 Act. The Committee considered whether the provision of any non-audit services rendered to the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Funds that were not pre-approved by the Committee because the engagement did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company, Ltd. applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

 

     FYE 01/31/2023     FYE 01/31/2022  

Audit-Related Fees

     0     0

Tax Fees

     0     0

All Other Fees

     0     0

The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was less than fifty percent.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
