Dear Fellow Shareholders,
In reflecting over the last six months, it has been quite a journey for risk assets marked by elevated volatility in both directions. As such, the backdrop as of 10/31/22 remained challenging. The equity markets faced several headwinds over the last six months including a strong US Dollar, rising rates in hand with less accommodative central bank policy, elevated inflation, and a general slowing in earnings and macroeconomic data. In light of these headwinds, domestic indexes finished negative to flat during the six-month period ending 10/31/22. Over this time, the S&P 500 lost -5.5% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.33%.
Fixed Income has traditionally acted as a buffer against equity volatility, but that asset class has been under pressure as well for several of the same headwinds cited for equities. For the six months ending 10/31/22, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index declined by -6.86%.
As of the end of the six-month period, several themes continued to play out in the equity markets. From a style standpoint, Value continued to lead Growth. Similarly, high dividend payers and defensive names were generally leading. From a sector view, Energy and defensive sectors (i.e., Healthcare, Consumer Staples, & Utilities) were generally leading their growth and momentum counterparts (such as Technology, Consumer Discretionary, & Communication Services).
Despite the challenging market, the PFG Funds largely performed in-line with their benchmark and objective during this time, though all of the benchmarks produced negative returns for the six-month period ending 10/31/22. Notable outliers in terms of outperformance of their benchmarks include the PFG Fidelity Institutional AM Equity Sector Strategy and the PFG Meeder Strategy. While there were no notable underperforming outliers as compared to their benchmarks over the six-month period, we continue to monitor the PFG American Funds Growth Strategy and the Invesco Thematic ESG Strategies, which have lagged their benchmarks over the trailing year ending 10/31/22.
While the investment backdrop has seen better days, there is reason for optimism. Recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) readings from September and October show that inflation may be peaking, which would be welcomed by the consumer and could signal that the Federal Reserve may slow the pace of interest rate hikes. In addition, valuation multiples have settled into ranges that are more in-line with historical averages. While the environment for fixed income remains challenging, yields have improved measurably across bond categories. Lastly, equities have responded favorably since early October, largely on optimism that inflation may be peaking.
While the case for optimism builds, we remain cautiously optimistic as we continue to monitor key market drivers including inflation, the Federal Reserve, earnings, technicals, and other factors.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership in The Pacific Financial Group.
Sincerely,
Daniel Helmick, Portfolio Manager

PFG Active Core Bond Strategy Fund
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The PFG Active Core Bond Strategy provides investors with a globally diversified fixed income allocation. This PFG Strategy returned (7.52)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned (6.86)% for the same period. The Strategy performed about in line with the benchmark over what has been a challenging period for fixed income investors as elevated inflation and less accommodative central bank policy have weighed on returns. During that period, the Strategy was positioned in high quality, resilient assets, and was neutral on duration. As such, Investment Grade Corporates as well as Agency and Non-Agency Mortgages were favored with a secondary emphasis on Municipal Bonds given their improving after-tax yields. To combat inflationary pressures, Commodities and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) have been favored in the Real Assets space. Equity exposure remained underweight in general with a defensive tilt. Over the trailing six months, the best performers on a relative basis included the PIMCO Mortgage Opportunities and Bond Fund and the PIMCO Income Fund with returns of (4.97)% and (4.17)%, respectively, while the PIMCO Investment Grade Credit Bond Fund, PIMCO Total Return Fund, and PIMCO Real Return Fund saw the largest declines with returns of (8.16)%, (16.96)%, and (8.19)%, respectively.

PFG American Funds® Conservative Income Strategy Fund
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The PFG American Funds® Conservative Income Strategy provides investors with a broadly diversified strategic allocation that seeks current income and limited price volatility, including exposure to high-quality bonds and dividend-paying equities. This PFG Strategy returned (5.81)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Morningstar Conservative Target Risk Index (Total Return) returned (7.46)% for the same period. Tilts to Value equities as well as short duration fixed income categories were positive contributors while Balanced, Core Bond, and Unconstrained Fixed Income were among the largest detractors. As such, the American Funds American Mutual Fund and American Funds Short-Term Bond Fund of America saw the largest gains on a relative basis, though their absolute returns were negative at (2.11)% and (1.73)%, respectively. The American Funds Bond Fund of America, American Funds Strategic Bond, and the American Funds Multi-Sector Income saw the largest declines over this period, with returns of (6.89)%, (8.93)%, and (6.73)%, respectively.

PFG American Funds® Growth Strategy Fund
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The PFG American Funds® Growth Strategy provides investors with a broadly diversified, strategic global equity allocation that is designed to take advantage of opportunities across various market segments with active stock picking taking place in the underlying fund holdings. This PFG Strategy returned (9.63)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Morningstar Aggressive Target Risk Index (Total Return) returned (8.96)% for the same period. An outsized growth tilt has generally detracted from performance over the trailing six months as an environment marked by elevated inflation, rising rates, and slowing growth prospects has repriced multiples to the downside. As such, value and more defensive-oriented equites generally led over their growth and momentum counterparts over this six-month time period. Weakness was broad across all sizes and geographic locations as growth in general has underperformed over the last year. As for attribution, the American Funds Fundamental Investors Fund posted the largest gain over this six-month period on a relative basis with a return of (5.96)%. The American Funds New Perspective saw the largest decline with a return of (11.20)%.

PFG BNY Mellon Diversifier Strategy Fund
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The PFG BNY Mellon® Diversifier Strategy utilizes a blend of alternative asset classes alongside traditional fixed income in an effort to outperform bonds during periods of both rising and falling interest rates. This PFG Strategy returned (6.57)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned (6.86)% for the same period. The Strategy strives to be a diversifier away from traditional asset classes like equity and fixed income. As such, the 10/31/22 positioning of the Strategy reflected underweights in Liquid Real Assets (9% allocation – 1% underweight) and fixed income (54% allocation – 6% underweight), with an overweight in Real Return (37% allocation – 7% overweight). The Strategy’s Commodity/Natural Resource exposure was a key contributor as the BNY Natural Resources Fund rose by 5.53% over the trailing six months. The BNY Floating Rate Income Fund outperformed on a relative basis with a return of (2.55)%. The BNY Global Real Estate Securities Fund saw the largest decline given rising interest rates with a return of (21.08)%. The BNY Mellon Core Plus Bond is the largest weighting at around 50% and modestly lagged its benchmark with a return of (7.45)% as the general backdrop for fixed income remains challenging due to elevated inflation and less accommodative central bank policy.

PFG BR Equity ESG Strategy Fund
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The PFG BR Equity ESG Strategy’s tactical allocation provides investors with global exposure, emphasizing companies that exhibit positive environmental, social, and governance characteristics. This PFG Strategy returned (9.23)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Morningstar Aggressive Target Risk Index (Total Return) returned (8.96)% for the same period. To mitigate volatility, the strategy had reduced small cap exposure and was allocating more to large caps with a low-carbon focus. Though the Strategy remained underweight Emerging Market equities, the weighting to this category was increased. In general, ESG-focused equities tend to have more of a growth bias and as a result have generally lagged over the trailing six months as more value and defensive counterparts have outperformed on a relative basis. The iShares ESG Aware USA Small-Cap ETF performed best on a relative basis, though trailing six-month returns were negative on an absolute basis with a return of (2.17)%. International and Emerging Markets ESG-focused vehicles posted the largest declines over this time as the iShares ESG Aware MSCI EM ETF, iShares MSCI Advanced MSCI EAFE ETF, and the iShares ESG Aware MSCI EAFE ETF led declines with returns of (20.23)%, (13.06)%, and (12.33)%, respectively.

PFG Fidelity Institutional AM® Bond ESG Strategy Fund
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The inception for this Strategy was 10/29/2021. The PFG Fidelity Institutional AM® Bond ESG Strategy provides investors with a strategic, broadly diversified fixed income allocation with a focus on securities that emphasize environmental, social, and governance factors. This PFG Strategy returned (7.33)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index retuned (6.86)% over the same period. The Strategy experienced some underperformance in the first couple weeks after its launch due to the timing of fund flows. Since that time, the Strategy has performed in line with its benchmark. As for attribution, most of the underlying funds performed in line with the benchmark over the past six months. While at a much smaller weighting, the iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF outperformed, rising 42 bps over this six-month period given its lower duration and interest rate sensitivity.

October 31, 2022
The PFG Fidelity Institutional AM® Equity Index Strategy provides investors with a passive, globally diversified, strategic equity allocation. This PFG Strategy returned (8.42)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Morningstar Aggressive Target Risk Index (Total Return) returned (8.96)% for the same period. The Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund led returns followed by the Fidelity 500 Index and Fidelity Mid Cap Index Fund with returns of (0.13)%, (5.50)%, and (5.26)%, respectively. In comparison, a significant weighting (30%) to the Fidelity Global ex-US Index Fund was the largest detractor from performance as that fund declined (13.63)% over the six-month period.

PFG Fidelity Institutional AM® Equity Sector Strategy Fund
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The PFG Fidelity Institutional AM® Equity Sector Strategy provides investors with a tactically managed, diversified allocation that tilts exposure to sectors based on shifts in the business cycle. This PFG Strategy returned (0.81)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Morningstar Aggressive Target Risk Index (Total Return) returned (8.96)% for the same period. Stock selection in Healthcare, Energy, Utilities, and Communication Services added value over this period. Positioning as of the end of the six-month period reflected an overweight to inflation-sensitive sectors like Energy and Materials, along with defensive sectors like Utilities and Healthcare. The Strategy was underweight in Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials. Over the last six months, exposure to defensives and commodities have been the top performers as the Fidelity MSCI Energy ETF, Fidelity Health Care Fund, and Fidelity Financial Services Fund led gains with returns of 22.38%, 4.68%, and 2.59%, respectively. Growth and cyclical sectors generally lagged as the Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund, Fidelity MSCI Materials ETF, the Fidelity MSCI Real Estate ETF saw the largest declines with returns of (13.37)%, (11.61)%, and (18.72)%, respectively.

PFG JP Morgan Tactical® Aggressive Strategy Fund
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The PFG JP Morgan® Tactical Aggressive Strategy provides a globally diversified allocation with the ability to dynamically adjust the equity and fixed income exposure based upon current market conditions. The PFG Strategy returned (9.32)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Morningstar Aggressive Target Risk Index (Total Return) returned (8.96)% for the same period. This Strategy has had a more defensive equity tilt towards the end of the six-month period, favoring defensives like Healthcare and Utilities. In addition, the Strategy had a higher than usual allocation to cash to mitigate volatility and provide optionality for adding new securities or increasing weightings to existing ones. The defensive tilt is reflected in performance as defensive and value positions were among the top performers. The JPMorgan Large Cap Value and JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF led gains despite having negative absolute returns over the last six months with returns of (1.18)% and (1.49)%, respectively. International/Emerging Markets exposure was generally a detractor as the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund, JPMorgan Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund, and the JPMorgan Diversified Return International Equity ETF led declines with returns of (17.12)%, (19.72)%, and (15.26)%, respectively.

PFG JP Morgan® Tactical Moderate Strategy Fund
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The PFG JP Morgan® Tactical Moderate Strategy provides a globally diversified allocation with the ability to dynamically adjust the equity and fixed income exposure based upon market conditions. The PFG Strategy returned (8.08)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index (Total Return) returned (8.44)% for the same period.

By the end of the six-month period, the Strategy was about up to its equity target currently but was still maintaining a higher cash weighting. Value and Short Duration Income exposure were among the top performers as the JPMorgan Large Cap Value Fund, JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF, and JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF led gains with returns of (1.18)%, 0.57%, and (1.49)%, respectively.

PFG Meeder Tactical Strategy Fund
Portfolio Review (Unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The PFG Meeder Tactical Strategy provides a highly tactical allocation by shifting equity and fixed income exposure during various market conditions. This PFG Strategy returned (4.50)% for the six-month period ending 10/31/2022, while the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index (Total Return) returned (8.44)% for the same period. During the third quarter, the Strategy had a 41% allocation to equity. The other 59% was positioned defensively, which was almost entirely held in cash. Further, the Strategy entered the year with a 33% cash position. Speaking to sectors, the Strategy has added value during the year through security selection mostly within industrials, financials, and energy. The Strategy remained cautious on and underweight Technology and Consumer Discretionary. Overall, the Strategy’s longer-term model remains defensive, driven by elevated valuations on an inflation-adjusted basis as well as factoring in a rising interest rate environment. As for attribution, the Meeder Muirfield Fund and Meeder Spectrum Fund were relative outperformers with returns of (2.64)% and (3.05)%, respectively, while the Meeder Dynamic Allocation Fund and Performance Trust Strategic Bond Funds led declines with returns of (6.17)% and (7.23)%, respectively.

| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the 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 primary exchange on the day of valuation. 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 net asset value.
Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies. Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Open-end 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 based upon methods established by the board of directors of the open-end funds.
THE PACIFIC FINANCIAL FUNDS |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
October 31, 2022 |
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 net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.
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 Funds may purchase an ETF to gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
The 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 available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities are valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has designated the adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to execute these procedures. The Board may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, approval of which shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.
Fair Valuation Process –The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affects the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine, the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the 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.
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 a Fund has 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 on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
THE PACIFIC FINANCIAL FUNDS |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
October 31, 2022 |
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing a Fund’s 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 October 31, 2022 for each Fund’s investments measured at fair value:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
October 31, 2022 |
Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities under the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income and distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually by the Funds. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards) 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; and temporary differences do not require reclassification. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of each Fund.
Federal Income Tax – It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions, taken on returns filed for open tax years ended April 30, 2019 through April 30, 2021, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ April 30, 2022 year-end tax returns. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio, and foreign jurisdictions where a Fund makes significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Funds recognized interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and other expenses, respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 2022, the Funds did not have any interest or penalties.
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 Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

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.
| 12. | MARKET AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK |
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in a Fund may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of a Fund. The current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and the aggressive responses taken by many governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes to, many retail and other businesses, has had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, a Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions, you could lose your entire investment.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES |
October 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
Example
As a shareholder of a Fund you will pay ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, distribution and service fees (12b-1), and other fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a Fund 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, such as sales charges (loads), or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions which may be assessed by mutual funds. This 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 columns under the heading entitled “Actual” help you estimate the actual expenses you paid over the period. The “Actual Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund’s actual return, and the “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this 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 column under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period”.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes
The columns under the heading entitled “Hypothetical” provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 a Fund 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 which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the last column of the table (Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period) 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.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM |
October 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the 1940 Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the respective Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources.
During the fiscal period ended October 31, 2022, the Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the “Committee”) reviewed each Fund’s investments and determined that the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that (i) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.
