Navigator® Equity Hedged Fund
K. Sean Clark, CFA — Chief Investment Officer
The U.S. economy came into 2020 on solid footing with jobless claims and the unemployment rate hovering near 50-year lows, housing starts and building permits hitting cycle highs. It appeared that the U.S. economy was going to continue its record long expansion, but that all changed quickly. A global recessions and bear market took hold in March as governments around the world implemented social distancing and “shelter-in-place” restrictions to slow the spread of COVID-19. This is something that we have never seen before as it is a combination of global health and economic crisis that led to a market liquidity crisis.
Countries representing an estimated 92% of global GDP were placed under some form of social distancing restrictions. That caused a sudden stop of economic activity the likes of which we have never seen before. The US economy will likely suffer its largest ever quarterly decline in GDP in the second quarter. The Federal Reserve has gone all in. The Fed pulled out its entire playbook from 2008 and executed it in a matter of weeks. It dropped interest rates and its balance sheet has swelled to a record high and is likely to hit $9 trillion by year-end.
No risk asset class was spared in the carnage as the turmoil roiled equities and fixed income asset classes. The S&P 500 experienced its fastest ever slide into bear market territory from new all-time highs reached on 2/19/20 to its low on 3/23/20, just 23 days later. The S&P 500 fell almost 34% from peak to bottom, before rallying into month-end. In the midst of the decline volatility spiked with the CBOE Volatility Index hitting it highest level ever. For the six-month period ended 4/30/20, the S&P 500 declined 3.17%, the MSCI All Country World Index fell 7.68%, and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index declined 6.62%. Treasuries were the main benefactor of the risk off environment as the yields across the curve sank to record lows with the 10-year Treasury Note Yield hitting a low of 40 bps on March 9th. Over the same six-month period ended 4/30/20 the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 4.86% and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 7-10 Year Treasury Index gained 9.32%.
Attribution
The Navigator Equity Hedged Fund (the “Fund”) institutional shares performed relatively well and provided good relative performance in a very difficult market environment. For the six-month period ended 4/30/20, the Fund lost 2.93%, compared to a 7.29%% loss in the MSCI World Index and a 7.53%% loss for the HFRX Equity Hedged Index.
The Fund’s overweight position in U.S equities and underweight in international equities was again a positive return factor as the U.S. outperformed international markets during the period. The Fund’s focus on Large Cap and Growth kept it more defensively positioned during the worst of the market declines. When the virus hit, it was a sudden shock, altering the economy in ways even beyond a normal recession; but Large Cap and Growth stock leadership continued, even into the 3/23/20 lows. Normally in a sharp decline the prior leaders are eventually dragged down and underperform as a bear market accelerates. That did not happen during this decline. Finally, the hedge strategy was an overall net detractor during the six-month period ended 4/30/20, but it
did help limit downside and reduce risk, gaining 62.96% during the panic selling from the market’s peak on 2/19/20 into the 3/23/20 lows.
Outlook
In our opinion the outlook for the markets is dependent on several factors:
| 1. | Stabilization or flattening of the infection rate curve |
| 2. | Sufficiently large global monetary and fiscal stimulus |
| 3. | Improvement in credit conditions |
There is no doubt that economic data is going to deteriorate further and the economy is facing its worst ever quarterly contraction in history. We are already seeing the signs economic damage with record numbers of people filing for first time unemployment benefits. We know the news is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. First quarter GDP was reported at -4.8%. We expect second quarter GDP to contract the most it ever has in history and then begin to stabilize as social distancing measure are relaxed, the record amount of global stimulus takes hold, and credit conditions show signs of improvement. Layoffs, downgrades and defaults won’t be a surprise. The markets are forward looking and typically bottom before the worst of the news is out.

Navigator Duration Neutral Bond Fund
Jonathan Fiebach – Portfolio Manager
April 30, 2020
For the six months ended April 30, 2030, the Navigator Duration Neutral Bond Fund (“the Fund”) Class I shares returned -2.94%, compared to the Bloomberg Barclay Municipal Index return of -1.33%, and the broader bond market’s return, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, of 4.86%. The Fund stuck to its mandate to be fully hedged against interest rate moves and, therefore, suffered large losses on its hedges. Furthermore, municipal bonds underperformed the aggregate fixed income market, adding to greater under performance compared to the broader market. The economic impact of COVID-19 is weighing heavily on the credit quality of municipal bond issuers, and the future path of many municipal credits remains uncertain as we write this report, with many municipalities in dire need of revenue.
We expect to remain fully hedged and only invest opportunistically in securities expected to out-perform. Though municipal bonds have cheapened, due to a combination of lower domestic demand, credit deterioration, and greater financing needs from issuers, we are not finding many opportunities that make sense.

Fixed income securities are subject to certain risks including, but not limited to: interest rate (changes in interest rates may cause a decline in market value or an investment), credit, prepayment, call (some bonds allow the issuer to call a bond for redemption before it matures), and extension (principal repayments may not occur as quickly as anticipated, causing the expected maturity of a security to increase).
Municipal bonds 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 or 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.

Attribution
For the six-month period ended 4/30/20, the Navigator Sentry Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”) institutional lost 24.56%. The S&P 500 Inverse Daily Index declined 4.93%.
The Fund’s objective is to provide a hedge component to a more broadly diversified portfolio in order to protect against large market declines. The Fund is designed to provide negative correlation to the market and is intended to be only a small allocation to a multi asset class allocation mix. The Fund maintains its strategy of always owning protection in the form of S&P 500 Index put options, and to use methods to short volatility to partially offset the cost of the hedge. For the six-month period ended 4/30/20 the cost of protection outweighed the benefit, resulting in the hedge strategy being a net detractor from performance. It did however limit
downside and reduce risk during the panic selling, gaining 62.96% from the market’s peak on 2/19/20 into the 3/23/20 lows.

Attribution
Amidst the turmoil the Navigator Tactical Fixed Income Fund institutional shares (the “Fund”) performed well. For the six-month period ended 4/30/20, the Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Corporate High Yield Bond Index and underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund gained 2.22% compared to -6.62% for the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index and 4.86% for the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.
The Fund came into the period fully allocated to high yield as risk asset classes enjoyed strong momentum from a record long economic expansion and bull market. However, the strategy had several allocation changes as the investing environment changed as a result of COVID-19 spreading and roiling the markets. The high yield index hit a record high on 2/20/20 and just
four trading days later the Fund began de-risking with COVID-19 fears hitting the markets as concerns mounted that the virus was accelerating outside of China. At that point, high yield bonds had held up well and the allocation shift was more a result of Treasury strength than high yield weakness. The Fund sold half of its high yield exposure and bought intermediate term U.S. Treasuries. On 3/9/20 the strategy de-risk further as weakness in credit and astonishing strength in U.S. Treasuries prompted a further allocation shift. The Fund sold the remaining high yield exposure and its intermediate-term U.S. Treasuries with yields hitting record lows, rolling down into 2-year U.S. Treasuries.
While the Fund was in a risk-off position, credit conditions deteriorated with high yield bonds pressured along with deteriorating economic expectations. Credit spreads of high yield bonds over Treasuries surged to 1100 bps and yields on the high yield bond index rose to 11.69%. Both spreads and yields on high yield bonds hit their highest levels since the 2008/09 Credit Crisis.
The Fund returned to a risk-on position in late March as the markets staged a remarkable recovery rally. Aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus plans settled the markets, with credit stabilizing and risk assets staging a recovery. The stabilization in credit markets turned our models positive on high yield debt and, as a result, the Fund allocated back into high yield bonds where it stands today.
Outlook
In our opinion the outlook for the markets is dependent on several factors:
| 1. | Stabilization or flattening of the infection rate curve |
| 2. | Sufficiently large global monetary and fiscal stimulus |
| 3. | Improvement in credit conditions |
There is no doubt that economic data is going to deteriorate further and the economy is facing its worst ever quarterly contraction in history. We are already seeing the signs economic damage with record numbers of people filing for first time unemployment benefits. We know the news is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Navigator Ultra Short Bond Fund
Jonathan Fiebach – Portfolio Manager
April 30, 2020
For the semi- annual period ended April 30, 2020, the Navigator Ultra Short Bond Fund (“the Fund”) Class I shares returned -.23%, compared to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S Bellwethers 1 Year Index return of 1.84%%. The Fund was heavily invested in corporate floating rate paper and kept its interest rate duration shorter than the index, leading to under-performance as the Federal Reserve lowered rates more aggressively than the market had been estimating and credit spreads widened substantially due to the economic effects related to COVID-19.
We expect to continue to invest opportunistically and to keep the Fund duration shorter than the benchmark. This means the Fund may continue under- performing the benchmark if the Federal Reserve continues to lower rates more aggressively than priced in by the marketplace.

Navigator Equity Hedged Fund (“Equity Fund”), Navigator Duration Neutral Bond Fund (“Bond Fund”), Navigator Sentry Managed Volatility Fund (“Sentry Fund”), Navigator Tactical Fixed Income Fund (“Tactical Fund”) and Navigator Ultra Short Bond Fund (“Ultra Fund”) are series of shares of beneficial interest of the Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on January 19, 2005 (the Equity Fund, Bond Fund, Sentry Fund, Tactical Fund and Ultra Fund are each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Bond Fund is a non-diversified series of the Trust, and the Equity Fund, Sentry Fund, Tactical Fund and Ultra Fund are each a diversified series of the Trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Each Fund offers three classes of shares designated as Class A, Class C and Class I except the Ultra Fund which offers only Class A and Class I shares. Class A shares are offered at net asset value (“NAV”) plus a maximum sales charge of 5.50% for the Equity Fund and 3.75% for all other Funds. Class C and Class I shares are offered at NAV. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Funds and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. The Funds’ income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class. The primary investment objective of the Equity Fund, which commenced operations on December 28, 2010, is long-term capital appreciation. The primary investment objective of the Bond Fund, which commenced operations on September 23, 2013, is to maximize total return, which is comprised of income and capital appreciation, while hedging interest rate exposure. The primary investment objective of the Sentry Fund, which commenced operations on March 6, 2014, is to seek negative correlation to the U.S. equity markets, including positive returns in unfavorable equity markets. The primary investment objective of the Tactical Fund, which commenced operations on March 27, 2014, is to seek total return with a secondary goal of current income. The primary investment objective of the Ultra Fund, which commenced operations on March 21, 2019, is current income consistent with the preservation of capital.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.
Securities Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Futures and future options are valued at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Options contracts listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Option contracts not listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Index options shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods that include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as “odd lots” and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as “round lots”. The Funds may fair value a particular bond if the advisor does not believe that the
Navigator Funds |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
April 30, 2020 |
round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Funds’ holding. Short-term debt obligations, having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at NAV. Swaps are valued through an independent pricing service or at fair value based upon the daily price reporting based on the underlying index or asset.
A Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily avail or able are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to a fair value committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor. The committee may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board has also engaged a third party valuation firm to attend valuation meetings held by the Trust, review minutes of such meetings and report to the Board on a quarterly basis. The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.
Fair Valuation Process – As noted above, the fair value committee is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the advisor, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the advisor to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the advisor based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the advisor is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value committee shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Funds’ holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Navigator Funds |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
April 30, 2020 |
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2020 for the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “underlying funds”). Underlying funds that are open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs as reported by such investment companies. The underlying funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the boards of the underlying funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the NAV per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.
Security Transactions and Investment Income – Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the highest cost method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities.
Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the potential lack of liquidity of an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Short Sales – A “short sale” is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own but has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. The Fund is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it on the open market at a later date. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a loss which could potentially be unlimited in size. Conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short.

Swap Agreements – The Funds are subject to equity price risk and/or interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their respective investment objectives. The Funds may hold fixed-rate bonds, the value of which may decrease if interest rates rise, and equities which are subject to equity price risk. The Funds may enter into various swap transactions for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, foreign exchange (currency) or credit risk. These would be two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments.
Credit Default Swaps - Credit default swaps (“CDS”) are typically two-party (bilateral) financial contracts that transfer credit exposure between the two parties. One party to a CDS (referred to as the credit protection “buyer”) receives credit protection or sheds credit risk, whereas the other party to a CDS (referred to as the credit protection “seller”) is selling credit protection or taking on credit risk. The seller typically receives pre-determined periodic payments from the other party. These payments are in consideration for agreeing to make compensating specific payments to the buyer should a negative credit event occur, such as (1 bankruptcy ) or (2) failure to pay interest or principal on a reference debt instrument, with respect to a specified issuer or one of the reference issuers in a CDS portfolio. In general, CDS may be used by the Funds to obtain credit risk exposure similar to that of a direct investment in high yield bonds.
The amounts to be exchanged or “swapped” between parties are calculated with respect to the notional amount. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. The maximum pay-outs for these contracts are limited to the notional amount of each swap. CDS may involve greater risks than if the Funds had invested in the referenced obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.
ETF, Mutual Fund and Exchange Traded Note (“ETN”) Risk - ETFs, mutual funds and ETNs are subject to investment advisory or management and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by each Fund. Each is subject to specific risks, depending on investment strategy. Also, each may be subject to leverage risk, which will magnify losses. ETNs are subject to default risks.
Futures – The Bond Fund and Tactical Fund are subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. To help manage interest rate risk, the Bond Fund and Tactical Fund may enter into futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract with a broker, the Bond Fund and Tactical Fund are required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities which are classified as deposits with broker in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Periodically, the Bond Fund and Tactical Fund will receive from or pay to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Bond Fund and Tactical Fund recognize a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Bond Fund and Tactical Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Futures contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Bond Fund an Tactical Fund’s Portfolios of Investments.
Option Transactions – The Funds are subject to equity price and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objective and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against risk. When a Fund writes put and call options, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Funds have no

control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retain the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
The Funds may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in the Funds’ portfolios or to gain inverse exposure to market index. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Funds to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. Call options are purchased to allow the Funds to enter a futures contract or purchase an exchange-traded note at a specified price. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by a Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security, index, or future rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security, index, or future in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to a Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since these operations exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.
Repurchase Agreements – The Tactical Fund may purchase securities from financial institutions subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the Tactical Fund’s agreement to resell the securities at par. The Advisor only enters into repurchase agreements with financial institutions that are primary dealers and deemed to be creditworthy by the Advisor in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are maintained with a custodian of the Fund and must have, at all times, an aggregate market value plus accrued interest greater than or equal to the repurchase price. If the market value of the underlying securities falls below 102% of the value of the repurchase price, the Fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. In the event the seller at under the agreement defaults on its repurchase obligation or fails to deposit sufficient collateral, the Fund has the contractual right, subject to the requirements of applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws, to sell the underlying securities and may claim any resulting loss from the seller.
The notional value of the derivative instruments outstanding as of April 30, 2020 as disclosed in the Portfolios of Investments and the amounts realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed above and within the Statements of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Funds.
Offsetting of Financial Assets and Derivative Assets and Liabilities – International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by the Tactical Fund and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreements. Any election to early terminate could be material to the financial statements. Additionally, the Tactical Fund and each derivative counterparty enter into a Credit Support Annex which becomes part of the ISDA Master Agreement. The Credit Support Annex governs the margin collateral arrangements between the Tactical Fund and the derivative counterparty.
Under an ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination. In the event of a default by a counterparty, the return of collateral with market value in excess of the Funds net liability, held by the defaulting party, may be delayed or denied.
The Funds’ policy is to re cognize a net asset or liability equal to the net appreciation (depreciation) of the derivative. The following tables show additional information regarding derivatives and the offsetting of assets and liabilities at April 30, 2020.

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income tax is required. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended September 30, 2017 to September 30, 2019 and October 31, 2019, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ October 31, 2020 year end tax returns. The Funds have identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio, Nebraska (for fiscal years prior to fiscal year ended October 31, 2019) and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from investment income are declared and paid annually for the Equity Fund and Sentry Fund and declared and paid quarterly for the Bond Fund, Tactical Fund and Ultra Fund, and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds will declare and pay net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results from operations or NAV per share of the Funds.
Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

The Funds have entered into a securities lending arrangement (the “Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Lending Agent”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Funds are authorized to loan securities to the Lending Agent. In exchange, the Funds receive cash and “non-cash” or “securities” collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned. The value of securities loaned is disclosed in a footnote on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and on the Portfolios of Investments. Securities lending income is disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the Lending Agent fails to return the securities on loan. The Funds’ cash collateral received in securities lending transactions is invested in the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds Government Portfolio, as presented below. The Lending Agent retains the right to offset amounts payable to the Funds under the Agreement against amounts payable by the Lending Agent. Accordingly, the Agreement does not permit the Funds to enforce a netting arrangement.
As of April 30,2020, the Equity Fund and Tactical Fund loaned securities which were collateralized by cash and other securities. The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral were as follows:
Fund | | Value of Securities Loaned | | | Value of Collateral* | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
April 30, 2020 |
| 11. | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In August 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, which changed certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removed the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels. For investment companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed and the Funds have adopted this amendment early.
Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements other than the following.
On May 22, 2020, the Board of Trustees’ approved the liquidation of the Bond Fund. In connection with that liquidation, all outstanding shares of the Bond Fund will be redeemed on June 30, 2020.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited) |
April 30, 2020 |
As a shareholder of the Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (such as front-end loads) and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1 fees) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of in vesting in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the period of time beginning November 1, 2019 and held through April 30, 2020.
Actual Expenses: The “Actual” columns in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading en titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes: The “Hypothetical” columns in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as front-end sales charges (loads). Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
