Notes to the Financial Statements |
April 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The DCM/INNOVA High Equity Income Innovation Fund (formerly known as the DCM/ INNOVA High Dividend Income Innovation Fund) (the “DCM/INNOVA Fund”) and the Lebenthal Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Lebenthal Fund”) (each a “Fund” and, collectively the “Funds”), are each organized as diversified series of the Centaur Mutual Funds Trust (the “Trust”). The DCM/INNOVA Fund commenced operations on March 16, 2005 and was formally known as the Centaur Total Return Fund. The Lebenthal Fund commenced operations on December 30, 2019. The Trust is an open ended-management investment company and is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended.
The investment objective of the DCM/INNOVA Fund is to seek maximum total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. The investment objective of the Lebenthal Fund is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax consistent with relative stability of principal. The Lebenthal Fund invests primarily in municipal securities, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax.
The Lebenthal Fund currently offers two classes of shares; Class A Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares represents an interest in the Lebenthal Fund, has the same rights and is identical in all material respects, except that the classes bear different (or no) levels of sales loads and different expenses, certain class specific expenses will be borne solely by the class to which such expenses are attributable, and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its own distribution arrangements. Class A Shares are subject to a front-end sales charge of 0.50% which is waived for purchases of $250,000 or greater. Unless you are otherwise eligible to purchase Class A shares without a sales charge, a CDSC of up to 0.25% will be charged on Class A shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase if you paid no sales charge on the original purchase and a finder’s fee was paid.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies” including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Centaur Mutual Funds Trust |
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
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 and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation
The Funds’ investments in securities are carried at fair value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are valued at the last sales price as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Securities traded in the Nasdaq over-the-counter market are generally valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price.
Fixed income securities will ordinarily be traded on the over-the-counter market. When market quotations are readily available, fixed income securities will be valued based on prices provided by independent third-party pricing service. The prices provided by the independent third-party pricing service are generally determined with consideration given to institutional bid and last sale prices and take into account securities prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings, institutional trading in similar groups of securities, and developments related to specific securities. Such fixed income securities may also be priced based upon a matrix system of pricing similar bonds and other fixed income securities.
Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Funds’ or Trusts’ normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Fair value pricing may be used, for example, in situations where (i) a portfolio security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that security over an extended period of time; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; or (iii) trading of the portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Funds’ net asset value calculation. A portfolio security’s “fair value” price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Trust’s normal pricing procedures.

Fair Value Measurement
GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| ● | Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement.
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the six months ended April 30, 2023 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Funds’ assets and liabilities as of April 30, 2023.
DCM/INNOVA Fund | | Valuation Inputs | | | | |

Total | | $ | 797,420 | | | $ | 33,794,019 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 34,591,439 | |
The Funds did not hold any investments at the end of the reporting period in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period.
Municipal Securities Risk
The Lebenthal Fund invests primarily in municipal securities. The risk of municipal securities generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. Municipal obligations can be significantly affected by political and economic changes, including inflation, as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the rights of municipal security holders. Municipal bonds have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk is generally lower for shorter-term municipal bonds and higher for long term municipal bonds.
Sector Focus Risk
While the DCM/INNOVA Fund does not focus its investments on a particular sector, the DCM/INNOVA Fund may, at times, be more heavily invested in certain sectors, which may cause the value of its shares to be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect those sectors and may cause the DCM/INNOVA Fund’s share price to fluctuate more widely than the shares of a mutual fund that invests in a broader range of industries. As of April 30, 2023, the Fund had 28.49% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Technology sector.
Foreign Currency Translation
Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The DCM/INNOVA Fund does not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Centaur Mutual Funds Trust |
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of discounts and premiums. Gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.
Expenses
Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly billed to a particular Fund are allocated proportionally among all series in the Trust in relation to net assets of each Fund or another reasonable allocation method. Expenses specifically attributable to any class are borne by that class. Income, realized gains and losses, unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and fund-wide expenses not allocated to a particular class shall be allocated to each class based on the net assets of that class in relation to the net assets of the entire Fund.
Dividend Distributions
Dividends from net investment income are generally declared and paid monthly for the DCM/INNOVA Fund. Dividends from net investment income are generally declared daily and paid monthly for the Lebenthal Fund. Distributions from capital gains (if any) are generally declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date.
Federal Income Taxes
As of and during the six months ended April 30, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
the filing of the tax return. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
The Funds’ policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all their taxable income to their shareholders. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise tax provision is required.

Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences.
Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the previous three tax years ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable), and has determined that the Funds do not have a liability for uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds entered into contracts with its service providers, on behalf of the Funds, and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. The Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote, however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.
NOTE 8. TRUSTEE COMPENSATION
As of April 30, 2023, there were two Trustees, each of whom are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”). Each Independent Trustee receives a fee of $2,000 each year plus $500 per series of the Trust per meeting. The officers of the Trust will not receive compensation from the Trust for performing the duties of their offices. All Trustees and officers are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings.
NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date at which these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, management has determined there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Summary of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution fees [and/or service] (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. 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 as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table for each class provides 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 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare 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.
Expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (Unaudited)
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval – DCM/INNOVA Fund
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees voting separately, reviewed and approved the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the DCM/INNOVA High Equity Income Innovation Fund (the “DCM/INNOVA Fund”) and DCM Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) for an additional 1-year term commencing December 30, 2022. The Board approved the Investment Advisory Agreements at a video conference meeting in lieu of an in-person meeting, pursuant to SEC Order. The meeting was held on December 12, 2022 and all of the Trustees were present in person.
Legal counsel advised the Board during its deliberations. Additionally, the Board received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Advisor in response to requests of the Board and counsel. In deciding whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered the best interests of the DCM/INNOVA Fund and its shareholders. The Board considered, among other things: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor; (2) the investment management capabilities and experience of the Advisor; (3) the performance of the Advisor; (4) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the DCM/INNOVA Fund; (5) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the DCM/INNOVA Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors; (6) the Advisor’s practices regarding brokerage and portfolio transactions; (7) possible conflicts of interest; and (8) other topics or issues
(i) The nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor. In this regard, the Board considered the services being provided by the Advisor to each Fund including, without limitation, it providing a continuous investment program for the Funds, adhering to each Funds’ investment restrictions, complying with the Trust’s policies and procedures and voting proxies on behalf of the Funds. The Board considered the qualifications and experience of the portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to day management of each Fund’s portfolio. The Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services provided by the Advisor are satisfactory for the Funds.
(ii) The Performance of the DCM/INNOVA Fund and the Advisor. The Board compared the DCM/INNOVA Fund’s performance to the performance of its Broadridge peer category, Morningstar Category, custom peer group, and various indices. Among other measures, the Board also considered the DCM/INNOVA Fund’s dividend yield as compared to the dividend yield of its Morningstar Category and custom peer group. After evaluating the performance of the Advisors in such capacities, the Board concluded that the performance of the Advisor was satisfactory.
(iii) Cost of Services and Profits Realized by the Advisor with respect to the DCM/ INNOVA Fund. In this regard, the Board considered the Advisor’s staffing, personnel and methods of operations; each Fund’s management fee and expense ratio, each as compared to the Fund’s respective peer group and Morningstar category; each Fund’s asset levels; the current and anticipated profitability of the Funds to the Advisor, if any; the Advisor’s commitment to the Funds; and the differences in fees and services provided to the Advisor’s other clients that may be similar to the Funds. The Board also considered the Advisor’s past fee reductions and expense reimbursements for the Funds and the indirect benefits that the Advisor received from its management of the Funds. In addition, the Board considered the Advisor’s representation that it intends to continue the ELA
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (Unaudited) (continued)
for each Fund until at least December 2023. After considering these and other items, the Board concluded that the advisory fee to be paid to the Advisor by each Fund is reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided by the Advisor.
The Board also compared the advisory fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement to the fees the Advisor charges other clients. The Board noted that the fee structure applicable to the Advisor’s other clients was not indicative of any unreasonableness with respect to the advisory fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Following these comparisons and upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the advisory fee paid to the Advisor by the DCM/INNOVA Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement is fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor.
(iv) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the DCM/ INNOVA Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors. In this regard, the Board considered that the fee arrangement of the Fund with the Advisor involves both an advisory fee and an expense limitation agreement. The Board determined that while the advisory fee rate under the Advisory Agreements remains the same at all asset levels, the shareholders of each Fund have experienced benefits from the Fund’s ELA and will continue to experience benefits from the Fund’s ELA until the Fund’s assets grow to a level where its expenses otherwise fall below the expense cap limit. In addition, the Board noted that the Funds could benefit from economies of scale under its agreements with service providers other than the Advisor if the Funds were to gather additional assets. Following further discussion of the asset level of the Funds and expectations for growth and levels of fees, the Board determined that the advisory fee for each Fund was reasonable in light of the information that was provided to the Trustees by the Advisor with respect to economies of scale.
(v) The Advisor’s practices regarding brokerage and portfolio transactions. In this regard, the Board considered the historical and anticipated portfolio turnover rates for Fund. The Board also considered the Advisor’s policies and procedures, to seek best execution for the Fund’s portfolio transactions. The Board considered the process by which evaluations are made of the overall reasonableness of commissions paid; the Advisor’s method and basis for selecting and evaluating broker-dealers used; any anticipated allocation of portfolio business to persons affiliated with the Advisor; and the extent to which the Advisor anticipates allocating portfolio business to broker-dealers who provide research, statistical or other services (“soft dollars”). After further review and discussion, the Board determined that the Advisor’s practices regarding brokerage and portfolio transactions are satisfactory.
(vi) Possible conflicts of interest. In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as the experience and abilities of the Advisor’s personnel to be assigned to the DCM/INNOVA Fund; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the DCM/ INNOVA Fund and/ or the Advisor’s other accounts; the process for allocating trades amongst the Advisor’s clients; the method for bunching of portfolio securities transactions; and the substance and administration of the Advisor’s code of ethics, specifically as it relates to possible conflicts of interest. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board found for the DCM/INNOVA Fund, that the Advisor’s standards and practices relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interests to be satisfactory.
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (Unaudited) (continued)
(vii) Other topics or issues. In this regard, the Board considered the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures. The Board also considered the Advisor’s insurance coverage, risk management program and regulatory history and the Advisor’s discussion of the recent SEC exam. After further review and discussion, the Board indicated its satisfaction with the Advisor’s operations as they related to the DCM/INNOVA Fund.
Following its consideration of all of the foregoing and taking into account the totality of all factors discussed at this Board Meeting and previous meetings, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees voting separately, unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement. No single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the decision of the Trustees to approve the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors noted above. Rather, the Trustees concluded, in light of their weighing and balancing all factors, that approval of the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the DCM/INNOVA Fund and its shareholders.
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval – Lebenthal Fund
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees voting separately, reviewed and approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Lebenthal Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Lebenthal Fund”) and DCM Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) for an additional 1-year term commencing December 30, 2022. The Board approved the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on December 12, 2022, and all of the Trustees were present.
Legal counsel advised the Board during its deliberations. Additionally, the Board received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Advisor in response to requests of the Board and counsel. In deciding whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered the best interests of the Lebenthal Fund and its shareholders. The Board considered, among other things: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor; (2) the investment management capabilities and experience of the Advisor; (3) the performance of the Advisor; (4) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Lebenthal Fund; (5) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Lebenthal Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors; (6) the Advisor’s practices regarding brokerage and portfolio transactions; (7) possible conflicts of interest; and (8) other topics or issues.
(i) The nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by the Advisor. In this regard, the Board considered the services being provided by the Advisor to each Fund including, without limitation, the Advisor providing a continuous investment program for the Fund, adhering to the Lebenthal Fund’s investment restrictions, complying with the Trust’s policies and procedures and voting proxies on behalf of the Fund. The Board considered the qualifications and experience of the portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to day management of the Lebenthal Fund’s portfolio. The Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services provided by the Advisor are satisfactory for the Lebenthal Fund. After reviewing the foregoing information and further information provided by the Advisor (e.g., descriptions of the Advisor’s business and the
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (Unaudited) (continued)
Advisor’s Form ADV), the Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services to be provided by the Advisor are satisfactory and adequate for the Lebenthal Fund.
(ii) The investment management capabilities and experience of the Advisor. In this regard, the Board considered the investment management experience of the Advisor. The Board considered its discussion with representatives of the Advisor regarding the investment objective and strategies for the Lebenthal Fund and the Advisor’s experience and the implementation of such strategies. In particular, the Board reviewed information from the Advisor regarding the portfolio manager’s experience in managing portfolios with an investment objective and strategy similar to the Lebenthal Fund. After consideration of these and other factors, as well as the Advisor’s capabilities and experience in managing the Leventhal Fund, the Board determined that the Advisor has the requisite knowledge and experience to continue serving as investment advisor for the Lebenthal Fund.
(iii) The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Lebenthal Fund. In this regard, the Board considered the Advisor’s methods of operation; the education and experience of the Advisor’s personnel; its compliance program, policies, and procedures; its financial condition and the level of commitment to the Lebenthal Fund; the projected asset levels of the Lebenthal Fund; and the overall expenses of the Lebenthal Fund, including the advisory fee. The Board reviewed the expense limitation agreement and noted the benefit to the Lebenthal Fund from the Advisor’s commitment to reduce its advisory fee or reimburse other operating expenses through December 31, 2023. The Board discussed the Advisor’s financial condition and its ability to satisfy its financial commitments to the Lebenthal Fund. The Board considered the support of the Advisor’s parent company in assuring that the Advisor has adequate capital to meet its obligations. The Board also considered potential benefits for the Advisor in managing the Lebenthal Fund, including promotion of the Advisor’s name. The Board compared the Lebenthal Fund’s advisory fee and overall expense ratio to other comparable funds (in terms of the type of fund, the style of investment management, the size of the Lebenthal Fund, and the nature of the investment strategies). The Board also considered the investment style and strategy of the Lebenthal Fund versus its peer group. Upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the advisory fee and total expense limit for the Lebenthal Fund were within the range of what would have been negotiated at arms-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances and were fair and reasonable.
(iv) The extent to which the Lebenthal Fund and its investors would benefit from economies of scale. In this regard, the Board considered the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Expense Limitation Agreement. The Board determined that while the proposed advisory fee was flat and would stay the same as asset levels increased, the shareholders of the Lebenthal Fund would benefit from the expense limitation agreement until the Lebenthal Fund’s assets grew to a level where its expenses otherwise fall below the expense limit. Following further discussion of the Lebenthal Fund’s asset levels, expectations for growth, and level of fees, the Board determined that the Lebenthal Fund’s fee arrangements with the Advisor would provide benefits through the Expense Limitation Agreement, and the Board would review the arrangements going forward as necessary. After further discussion, the Board concluded the Lebenthal Fund’s arrangement with the Advisor was fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be provided by the Advisor and would benefit the Lebenthal Fund and its shareholders.
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (Unaudited) (continued)
(v) Brokerage and portfolio transactions. The Board considered the Advisor’s policies and procedures as they relate to seeking best execution for its clients. The Board also considered the portfolio turnover rate for the Lebenthal Fund; the method and basis for selecting and evaluating broker-dealers used to complete the Lebenthal Fund’s portfolio transactions; any allocation of portfolio business to persons affiliated with the Advisor; and the extent to which the Lebenthal Fund’s trades may be allocated to soft-dollar arrangements. After further review and discussion, the Board determined that the Advisor’s practices regarding brokerage and portfolio transactions for the Lebenthal Fund were satisfactory.
(vi) Possible conflicts of interest. In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as the experience and abilities of the advisory personnel to be assigned to the Lebenthal Fund and the Advisor’s process for allocating trades among the Lebenthal Fund and clients with similar types of investment objectives and strategies. The Board also considered the substance and administration of the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board determined that Advisor’s standards and practices relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interests for the Lebenthal Fund were satisfactory.
After discussion of the factors noted above and in reliance of the information provided by the Advisor and Trust management and taking into account the totality of all factors discussed and information presented, the Board indicated its desire to approve the investment Advisory Agreement and the Expense Limitation Agreement. It was noted that in the Trustees’ deliberations regarding the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and that each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors listed above.
Other topics or issues.
In this regard, the Board considered the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures. The Board also considered the Advisor’s insurance coverage, risk management program and regulatory history. After further review and discussion, the Board indicated its satisfaction with the Advisor’s operations as they related to the Funds.
Following its consideration of all of the foregoing and taking into account the totality of all factors discussed at this Board Meeting and previous meetings, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees voting separately, unanimously approved the continuance of the Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Leventhal Fund. It was noted that in the Trustees’ deliberations with respect to the approval of the Advisory Agreement, no single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the decision of the Trustees to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors noted above. Rather, the Trustees concluded, in light of their weighing and balancing all factors, that approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Leventhal Fund was in the best interests of that Fund and its shareholders.
