ORGANIZATION

The Altegris Futures Evolution Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 19, 2005, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s commencement date, diversification status and investment objective is as follows:

	Commencement	Diversification
	Date	Status	Investment Objective
Altegris Futures Evolution Strategy Fund	October 31, 2011	Diversified	Long term capital

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class N shares. Class A shares are offered at net asset value (“NAV”) plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Investors that purchase $1,000,000 or more of a Fund’s Class A shares will not pay any initial sales charge on the purchase. However, purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) on shares redeemed during the first 18 months after their purchase of up to 1.00% (the amount of the commissions paid on the shares redeemed). Class C and Class N shares of the Funds are offered at their NAV without an initial sales charge. Purchases of $1,000,000 of more of Class C shares are subject to a CDSC of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. If you redeem Class C shares within one year after purchase, you will be charged a CDSC of up to 1.00%. The charge will apply to the lesser of the original cost of the Class C shares being redeemed or the proceeds of your redemption and will be calculated without regard to any redemption fee. When you redeem Class C shares, the redemption order is processed so that the lowest CDSC is charged. Class I shares of the Funds are sold at NAV without an initial sales charge and are not subject to 12b-1 distribution fees, but have a higher minimum initial investment than Class A and Class C shares. All classes are subject to a 1.00% redemption fee on redemptions made with 30 days of the original purchase. Each share class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund operates as an investment company and accordingly follows the Investment Company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. 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 ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the 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. 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. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value). Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Fund may invest in portfolios of open- end or closed-end investment companies (the “underlying funds”) .. Underlying open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

December 31, 2022

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 will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Valuation Designee 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 in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, which approval 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 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; and (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 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.

The Fund utilizes 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 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 in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the 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 December 31, 2022 for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Refer to the Schedule of Investments for security classification.

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities as of December 31, 2022.

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. 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. 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.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and determined in accordance with federal 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.

Federal Income Taxes – It is the Fund’s policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended 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 has been recorded.

The Fund recognizes tax benefits only for tax positions where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on returns filed for all open tax years (2020-2022) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2023 tax return. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments; however, the Fund is 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.

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a particular 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.

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 Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

December 31, 2022

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’s portfolio 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.

Option Transactions – When the Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non -income producing securities. The Fund invests in options which are not traded on an exchange. In doing so, it is assuming a credit risk with regard to the party with which it trades and also bears the risk of settlement default. These risks may differ materially from risks associated with transactions effected on an exchange, which generally are backed by clearing organization guarantees, daily mark-to-market and settlement, segregation and minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries. Relying on a counterparty exposes the Fund to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a transaction in accordance with its terms and conditions because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem, thus causing the Fund to suffer a loss. If a counterparty defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, this default will cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. In addition, to the extent the Fund deals with a limited number of counterparties, it will be more susceptible to the credit risks associated with those counterparties. The Fund is neither restricted from dealing with any particular counterparty nor from concentrating any or all of its transactions with one counterparty. The ability of the Fund to transact business with any one or number of counterparties and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement may increase the potential for losses by the Fund. The Fund holds fully funded options with Nomura Securities (Bermuda), Ltd. The options provide exposure to the daily returns of a reference asset on a 1 to 1 basis. According to the terms of the option, the Adviser may increase or decrease this exposure on a daily basis. The Fund pays an upfront premium of 1.10% per annum, which is charged based on the contract year, which is accrued daily over the contract period. The option contracts were initially entered into as of August 16, 2017, and have a two year valuation period, which may be extended or reduced to zero at any time. Based on the terms of the call option agreement, the Fund amortizes the option premiums on a straight-line basis on a quarterly period with the unamortized balance due from the counterparty (paid back to the Fund) in the case of an decreasing exposure or full exercise subject to an early exercise fee. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, $481,193 of option premiums was amortized.

Other Investment Companies or Exchange Traded Funds – The Fund may invest up to 100% of their net assets in shares of affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including money market mutual funds, other mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). An ETF generally is an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or a portfolio of securities deposited with a depository in exchange for depository receipts. ETFs provide investors the opportunity to buy or sell throughout the day an entire portfolio of securities in a single security. Although index mutual funds are similar to index-based ETFs, they are generally sold and redeemed only once per day at market close. The ETFs in which a Fund invests may be subject to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the sale of the security at an advantageous time or price. To the extent that the ETFs in which a Fund invests hold securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations or securities with substantial market risk, they will have a greater exposure to liquidity risk. In addition, ETFs are subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds that can be found in “Exchange-Traded Funds” below: (1) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to their net asset value; (2) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally. Additionally, ETFs have management fees, which increase their cost. In addition to the advisory and operational fees a Portfolio bears directly in connection with its own operation, the Portfolio also bears its pro rata portion of the advisory and operational expenses incurred indirectly through investments in other investment companies.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments and U.S. Government securities, amounted to the following:

		Purchases				Sales
Futures Evolution Strategy Fund		$	18,300,000			$	62,750,000

During the normal course of business, the Fund purchases and sells various financial instruments, which may result in market, credit and liquidity risks, the amount of which is not apparent from the financial statements.

Market Risk: Overall securities and derivatives market risks may affect the value of individual instruments in which the Fund invests. Factors such as domestic and foreign economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the securities and derivatives markets. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.

Counterparty Risk: The Fund invests in derivative instruments issued for the Funds by Nomura Securities (“Nomura”), a Nomura product or other counterparty’s products, as applicable (the “Product”). If Nomura or a counterparty becomes insolvent, it may not be able to make any payments under the Product and investors may lose their capital invested in the Product. A decline in Nomura’s or any counterparty’s financial standing is likely to reduce the market value of the Product and therefore the price an investor may receive for the Product if they sell it in the market.

Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Altegris Advisors, L.L.C., serves as the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”).

Pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Advisor, the Fund pays the Advisor a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, based on each respective Fund’s average daily net assets computed at the following annual rates: 1.15% on the first $1 billion, 1.05% on net assets greater than $1 billion and less than or equal to $1.5 billion, 0.95% on net assets greater than $1.5 billion and less than or equal to $2 billion and 0.90% on net assets greater than $2 billion. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Advisor earned $757,140.

Pursuant to a written agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”) the Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least until October 31, 2023, to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads; brokerage fees and commissions; acquired fund fees and expenses; fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); taxes; expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization; and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) will not exceed the amounts below (the “Expense Limitation”). The Board may terminate this expense reimbursement arrangement at any time upon 60 days’ notice to the Advisor.

Class A		Class C		Class I		Class N
1.59%		2.34%		1.34%		1.59%

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Advisor waived $127,435 pursuant to the Waiver Agreement.

If the Advisor waives any fee or reimburses any expense pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and a Fund’s operating expenses are subsequently lower than its respective Expense Limitation, the Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund provided that such reimbursement does not cause the Fund’s operating expense to exceed the respective Expense Limitation. If the Fund’s operating expenses subsequently exceed the respective expense limitation, the reimbursement for the Fund shall be suspended. The Advisor may seek reimbursement only for expenses waived or paid by it during the three years prior to such reimbursement; provided, however, that such expenses may only be reimbursed to the extent they were waived or paid after the date of the Waiver Agreement (or any similar agreement). Cumulative expenses previously waived or reimbursed subject to the aforementioned conditions will expire as presented in the table below:

	Fiscal Year Ended		Fiscal Year Ended
	June 30, 2022		June 30, 2021
Ordinary Income	$	11,196,351	$	4,015,974
Long-Term Capital Gain		—		—
Return of Capital		—		—
	$	11,196,351	$	4,015,974

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments, and accumulated net investment income (loss) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

At June 30, 2022, the Fund had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as follows:

Short-Term				Long-Term				Total
$	10,041,342			$	21,672,119			$	31,713,461

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to differences in book and tax treatment of controlled foreign corporations held through the options issued from Nomura resulted in reclassifications for the Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 as follows:

Paid In		Accumulated
Capital		Earnings (Losses)
$	1,277,465	$	(1,277,465	)

UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

The Fund invests in other investment companies. Each underlying fund, including each ETF, is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying fund. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, foreign and related currency risk and high yield risk. Investors in the Funds will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying investment companies in which the Funds invest in addition to the Funds’ direct fees and expenses. The Fund may invest in investment companies. Such investments would subject the Fund to similar risks.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

December 31, 2022

Altegris Advisors, LLC - Adviser to AACA Altegris Opportunistic Real Estate Fund (“Altegris Opportunistic”) and Altegris Futures Evolution Strategy Fund (“Altegris Futures Evolution”)*

In connection with the regular meeting held on December 14-15, 2022 of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) of the Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Altegris Advisors, LLC (“Altegris” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust, with respect to Altegris Opportunistic and Altegris Futures Evolution (collectively the “Altegris Funds”). In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees were assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the Advisory Agreement review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board noted that Altegris was founded in 2002 and specialized in identifying, evaluating and monitoring alternative strategies and managers for the purpose of offering these strategies to financial professionals and individuals. They also noted that Altegris managed approximately $500 million in assets. The Board remarked positively on the educational and professional backgrounds of the firm’s key personnel. They discussed the Adviser’s supervision of the sub-adviser, AACA and oversight in managing each Altegris Fund’s compliance with its respective investment limitations. They noted that, with respect to Altegris Opportunistic, the Adviser delegated selection of broker dealers for trade execution to AACA, while also performing best execution analysis. The Board concluded that the Adviser should continue to provide a high level of quality service to the Altegris Funds for the benefit of each Fund’s shareholders.

Performance.

Altegris Futures Evolution. The Board discussed the Fund’s investment objective and investment strategy. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index over all periods presented in the report. They considered the Adviser’s rationale for the Fund’s underperformance of the peer group over the one-year, three-year and five-year and the category median over the three-year and five- year periods. The Board agreed that the Adviser was managing the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment strategy.

Altegris Opportunistic. The Board considered the Fund’s investment objective and principal investment strategy. They noted that the Fund outperformed its peer group, category and benchmark index over the since inception period. The Board recognized that the Fund substantially underperformed over the last year, resulting in the Fund underperforming all metrics over the one-year, three-year and five-year periods. They considered the Adviser’s assertion that one contributor to the underperformance was speculation related to Chinese stocks and its impact on the Fund’s positions. The Board considered the Adviser’s observations on the sub-adviser’s long term track record, including the sub-adviser’s performance prior to the launch of the Fund. They determined that the strategy had delivered reasonable long term returns to shareholders.

Fees and Expenses.

Altegris Futures Evolution. The Board reviewed the Fund’s advisory fee of 1.15% (with breakpoints at various levels) and considered the fee relative to the peer group and category medians and averages. They acknowledged that Altegris’ maximum advisory fee was higher than the Fund’s peer group median and average, but lower than the category average and in-line with the category median. They recognized the Adviser’s assertion that the Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable based on the strategy and structure of the Fund and substantial time and resources in the process of managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Altegris Futures Evolution Strategy Fund

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

December 31, 2022

Altegris Opportunistic. The Board noted the Fund’s advisory fee of 1.30%. They observed that the Fund’s advisory fee was higher than all metrics provided in the report. They acknowledged the short component of the Fund’s strategy as a differentiator from its peers. They noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was higher than all of the metrics included in the report but would not exceed the limits provided by the Adviser in the expense limitation agreement. The Board discussed the Adviser’s assertion that the Fund’s fee was reasonable given the nature of its strategy and the cost of the sub-adviser. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale.

Altegris Futures Evolution. The Board considered whether economies of scale would be realized by the Adviser in connection with the advisory services provided to the Fund. They noted the advisory fee breakpoints. The Board confirmed that the breakpoints remained appropriate.

Altegris Opportunistic. The Board considered whether economies of scale had been realized in connection with Altegris’ advisory services. They discussed the Adviser’s assertion that breakpoints could be appropriate as the Fund’s assets increase noting the sub-adviser fee currently did not include breakpoints. The Board concluded that based on the Fund’s current asset size, the absence of breakpoints was acceptable at this time.

Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by the Adviser, with respect to each Altegris Fund. They commented that the Adviser had realized a profit in connection with its services provided to each Altegris Fund. They considered the Adviser’s profits in light of the services provided to each Altegris Fund and concluded that excessive profitability was not a concern at this time.

Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Altegris as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded that the renewal of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of Altegris Funds and its shareholders.

Due to the timing of the contract renewal schedule, these deliberations may or may not relate to the current performance results of the Altegris Funds.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)

December 31, 2022

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs) and redemption fees; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution 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 six-month period beginning July 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022.

Actual Expenses

The “Actual Expenses” section of each table provides 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 provided under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The “Hypothetical” section of each table below provides 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 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 sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. 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.
