PREAMBLE
Both in investing and in other aspects of life, it can be easier to act virtuously when circumstances are smooth than when they are difficult or unpredictable. You often see someone’s true character in how they handle difficult times more than in how they act when things are easy. The past three years have tested the character of many investors as each quarter has been marked by a sensational headline encouraging dramatic investor behavior.
Something about our human nature seems to draw us to sensational headlines— and currently, it seems apparent that we’re especially drawn to negative sensational headlines. As humans, we long to feel something and it can be easier to create headlines that cause others to feel fearful, envious, or angry than it is to encourage them to feel hopeful, confident, or joyful.
At Eventide, we consider this in how we promote ourselves and our investing process. Our recent cultural environment has been polarized by hot takes. In our view, it’s cheap and easy to gain a following by inciting a group of people to become judgmental and angry at another group of people. It’s a way to prey on our complex desires as humans and exploit some of our ugly inclinations.
On the other hand, it’s also easy to retreat from the conversation completely and take a “to each their own” approach, even on very consequential topics. While this approach appeals to our virtuous desires for peace, it can become a crutch to not speak about injustices impacting vulnerable people.
We started Eventide with strong convictions about how we wanted to impact other people. We have a belief that businesses should be blessings to their customers, employees, suppliers, their communities, the environment, and society as a whole. Being a blessing includes valuing all human lives at any stage, promoting strong families and communities, addressing injustices to any people group, and caring for the environment.
Along with this conviction about what businesses should be doing comes a strong conviction about what they should not be doing: they shouldn’t be harming people, they shouldn’t be exploiting people’s addictions, they shouldn’t be creating products that are mainly used for the destruction of life and they shouldn’t be encouraging people through their products or messaging to pursue a path that leads to a life that isn’t flourishing.
Our impact not only comes from us doing what we believe is right and good but encouraging others to join us. This leaves us with a difficult question: Since we know that hot takes gain attention and a “to each their own” passivity keeps us out of the negative press, how do we faithfully pursue our mission in a way that appeals to the brighter side of our human nature?
In a polarized climate, marked by anger and fear, we seek to be both bold and inspiring.
Being bold involves having strong convictions based on enduring values, and being willing to voice our convictions even when they aren’t popular. Being inspiring means being deeply empathetic to those who may not agree with us and being winsome in our actions and communications with a goal of bringing people together rather than tearing them apart.
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
Just like a volatile market tests the character of investors—forcing them to choose between remaining faithful to their guiding virtues or abandoning them to respond to the fear or greed enticed by headlines, so it is that a polarized cultural climate tests the character of all of us engaged with our society— it forces us to choose between gaining a following with quick, easy, and angry hot-takes, completely retreating, or being faithfully bold and inspirational.
Thank you for your trust.

FUND REVIEWS (UNAUDITED)
Eventide Core Bond Fund
The Eventide Core Bond Fund (Class I) posted a total return of -0.67% for the 12 months ended 06/30/2023 compared to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index of -0.94%.
Interest rates experienced heightened volatility for the period as the capital markets continued to anticipate and react to Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) interest rate policy action. As the FOMC began to downshift the pace of interest rates hikes and macroeconomic data began to show the deflationary effects of previous hikes, credit spreads remained very resilient which benefited the portfolio’s positions in both investment grade and high yield credit sectors.
Interest rate volatility is expected to remain elevated, despite a resolution to the debt ceiling and stabilization in the banking sector. The market’s focus has now turned to the resiliency of the economy, stickiness of inflation, and the response from the Federal Reserve (“Fed”). While the yield curve could flatten further over the near term, a steepening trend may emerge later this year as the FOMC likely nears the end of their tightening cycle. Corporate bonds have been resilient in the face of a highly uncertain economic outlook. While we recognize the recent spread tightening tilts the risk/reward profile somewhat less favorably looking forward, we are reluctant to reduce corporate exposure further as recession odds have become milder than previously thought. Our preference on the security selection side is centered on credit exposures more at the front end of the curve with a greater emphasis on higher quality and lower beta in intermediate and longer-term maturities. We have become more constructive on the agency mortgage-backed sector given its underperformance over the last few years. The relative cheapness of the sector combined with limited origination may offset the bank-related selling pressures and the fact that the Fed is no longer an indiscriminate buyer of mortgages.
Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund
The Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund (Class I) reported a total return of 10.87% for the 12-month period ended 06/30/2023, leading the Russell Midcap® Value Index (+10.50%) and lagging the Russell Midcap Index (+14.92%).
The Fund’s trailing 12-month performance relative to the Russell Midcap Index derived largely from underperformance among higher-quality and interest rate-sensitive stocks amid unprecedented policy tightening and surging interest rates over the past year. The Fund’s higher-quality, dividend-growth positioning helped the Fund outperform its secondary benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index during this period. Among sectors for the 12-month period, the Fund enjoyed particularly strong relative results in the Information Technology, Industrials, and Materials sectors, partially offset by underperformance, as mentioned, in more interest rate sensitive sectors, as Utilities and Financials. Overweights to Semiconductors, Software, Industrials, and Energy positioned the Fund well in relationship to key secular growth themes in technology, electrification, supply chain resiliency, energy efficiency, and energy infrastructure. The Fund avoids areas with high leverage, high and rising costs of financing, and high exposure to external financing. The Fund remains focused on pursuing companies we see as resilient, well-managed, and well-positioned in long-term secular growth themes of human flourishing. The resilience we seek includes generation of robust free cash flow, self-financing, attractive dividend growth, and strong execution through volatile macroeconomic and market environments. For the Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund, we continue to see many opportunities for investing in companies that we believe have this resilience to ride out the macro and market storms and can achieve attractive long-term

The Fund underperformed its benchmark largely due to its greater-than benchmark exposures to small- and mid-cap high-growth stocks. Indeed, our data shows that for Q2 2023, five mega-cap stocks accounted for roughly 25% of the S&P market capitalization. Further, for the first half of 2023, roughly 90% of the S&P 500’s return was attributable to the S&P’s top seven stocks, with a similar dynamic seen for the NASDAQ. We note this to put Fund performance in context.
The past year continued to see unprecedented challenges for small- and mid-cap growth investing. This has been particularly evident in the technology space where the spread between the largest and smaller companies reached historical levels. This meant that the Fund lagged popular technology benchmarks and peers in the technology category that invest the vast majority of their funds in the largest technology companies. The market saw challenges like continued persistence of higher inflation led by sticky wage growth in a resilient labor market, expectations of higher for longer interest rates, the regional banking crisis, quantitative tightening, and de-globalization trends for economic self-sufficiency. These multifaceted factors have limited historical proxies, and the uncertainty led the market to sell small- and mid-cap growth technology companies versus their large-cap peers. Looking forward, we have now been able to upgrade the portfolio to include what we believe to be the best growth Business 360® investment opportunities. We believe these companies are in attractive industries, possess strong and growing moats, are well capitalized, have longer-term-focused, stakeholder-oriented, and high-quality-incentivized management teams who are likely to take advantage of the economic turbulence to improve their competitive positions. While these types of sell-offs can lead to significant short-termism among investors, history has shown that patient longer-term-oriented investors will likely be rewarded positively over time when owning portfolios of outstanding companies. We are excited for the journey ahead.

Eventide Gilead Fund
The Eventide Gilead Fund (Class I) posted a total return of 16.00% for the 12-month period ended 06/30/2023, while the Russell Midcap Growth Index returned 23.13% and the S&P 500 Total Return Index, 19.59%.
Underperformance relative to the primary benchmark was primarily due to weak stock selection within the Information Technology, Utilities, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Cash allocation was also a drag on relative returns. These weaknesses were largely offset by strong performance from the Fund’s investments in the Healthcare sector, with Biotechnology stocks leading to the upside after emerging from a period of weak performance. Many of the detractors from relative performance in the last half of 2022 became relative performance contributors in the first half of 2023 as market dynamics and industry leadership shifted. Despite concerns of stock market valuation and concentration, looking forward we are finding opportunities to invest in companies whose valuations remain depressed, particularly within the small and mid-cap areas of the market.

The underperformance relative to the primary benchmark was primarily from stock selection, where not owning megacaps such as Apple, Microsoft, and Meta proved to be a headwind, while we also saw some negative selection effects in financials and information technology (partly due to this lack of exposure). This was partially offset by positive stock selection in consumer discretionary and an overweight in information technology.
The Fund seeks high active share and is a concentrated portfolio of high conviction holdings. We seek to invest in companies that can achieve or sustain leadership in secular growth industries, while also creating compelling value for society. Examples of themes we invest in include cybersecurity, life sciences innovation, and energy efficiency.
We are confident that our portfolio companies are well-positioned for the long-term, with strong fundamentals and attractive valuations. Even in a volatile economic environment, we believe that our companies create intrinsic (long-term) value every day by providing innovative products and services to solve their customers’ most challenging problems and by creating a strong culture for employees. As the stock market has continued to concentrate the large cap space into a few megacap names, we are excited to provide our investors with a large cap fund that contains high quality companies that fit our Business 360® framework, while also being high conviction, concentrated, and high active share without owning most of the well-known megacaps.

The Fund’s fixed income positions posted strong outperformance compared to its fixed income benchmark for the 12-month period ended 6/30/2023. The Fund’s fixed income outperformance was primarily due to both an overweight allocation to corporate bonds and positive selection within credit sectors. Within the benchmark, corporate bonds outperformed treasuries as both high yield and investment grade credit spreads stabilized during this period after rising sharply off of the lows of 2021.
The Fund’s equity positions trailed their equity benchmark, Russell Midcap Index, largely from underperformance among higher-quality and interest rate-sensitive stocks amid unprecedented policy tightening and surging interest rates over the past year. Among sectors for the 12-month period, the Fund enjoyed particularly strong relative results in the Information Technology, Industrials, and Materials sectors, partially offset by underperformance, as mentioned, in more interest rate sensitive sectors, such as Utilities and Financials.

CIO OUTLOOK (UNAUDITED)
Several quarters of recession calls from economists and market pundits have caused many investors to be too defensively postured in a surprisingly strong market. The economy and stock market have been more resilient than anticipated in the face of higher Fed interest rates, a regional bank crisis, and weak leading indicators. The weaker leading indicators have manifested as a set of “rolling recessions” rather than a single, broad-based recession. As the Fed has successfully cooled inflation, markets remain uncertain if there is “another shoe to drop” or if there is a light at the end of the tunnel. A few strategies we’ve employed to weather this environment are investing into companies that are currently pricing in a slowdown or recession and thus offer a potential margin of safety, or investing in companies whose outcomes are less or not macro-sensitive. While mega cap tech-stocks have been the most recent beneficiaries of this perceived change in regime, they have become expensive. In contrast, there are many attractive valuations in small and mid-cap stocks. When fears subside, we believe these companies should do well.
While there is much to consider on the macro front, we do not use our macro view as a market timing tool, but rather as another lens to view our companies as we work to build our long-term conviction from a bottom-up perspective. We seek to be long-term investors in companies that create compelling value for their stakeholders, operate in attractive industries, exhibit excellent management teams, and trade at reasonable valuations. We believe this approach will produce strong returns for our clients over the long-term.

CIO OUTLOOK (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Many of the headwinds we had experienced heading into 2023 have now become short-term tailwinds for the themes, sectors, industries, and styles we invest in. However, this does not deter us from seeking to find companies that have resilient, self-funding business models or companies whose outcome is less dependent on capital markets, especially as the risk of an economic slowdown remains. Our investments in the Biotechnology sector are a prime example of companies whose stock prices had suffered in recent years because of the market environment, but whose outcomes are less macro-sensitive but tied to the success of their drugs and therapies.
We would like to thank our investors who have participated with us through strong markets and weak markets. It is during weak markets like we have recently experienced where investment conviction is often tested. We believe our disciplined approach, informed by value creation, helps fight the tendency to make poor investment decisions informed by emotion. It is our hope that our investors are encouraged as we humbly continue to seek to invest in a way that makes the world rejoice!

Investors in the Eventide Core Bond Fund should be aware that interest rates may change at any time based on government policy. In general, the price of a fixed income security falls when interest rates rise. Longer term securities may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. A rise in interest rates may result in volatility and increased redemptions, which in turn could result in the Fund being forced to liquidate portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices. Interest rates are sensitive to changes in inflation, and investing in bonds exposes investors to inflation risk. Bonds may be subject to default, causing loss of invested capital. Fixed income investments may be of any maturity or credit quality, but the Fund’s weighted average effective portfolio duration will be between three years and nine years. The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, in “junk bonds.” Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks than higher quality debt securities.

The Eventide Healthcare & Life Sciences Fund can invest in smaller-sized companies which may experience higher failure rates than larger companies and normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies. The Fund can have risk associated with the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry in which these companies may be heavily dependent on clinical trials with uncertain outcomes and decisions made by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Fund can have risk related to option investing. There are special risks associated with investments in foreign companies including exposure to currency fluctuations, less efficient trading markets, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. The Fund can invest in private companies. Private investments include various risks including but not limited to lack of liquidity, capital commitment risk, and valuation risk. Private companies may not be financially profitable and have uncertain futures, subjecting them to additional risks.
Investors in the Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund should be aware that interest rates may change at any time based on government policy. In general, the price of a fixed income security falls when interest rates rise. A rise in interest rates may result in volatility and increased redemptions, which in turn could result in the Fund being forced to liquidate portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices. Longer term securities may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. Interest rates are sensitive to changes in inflation, and investing in bonds exposes investors to inflation risk. Bonds may be subject to default, causing loss of invested capital. Fixed income investments may be of any maturity or credit quality, but the Fund’s weighted average effective portfolio duration will not exceed five years. The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, in “junk bonds.” Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks than higher quality debt securities. The Fund can invest in smaller-sized companies which may experience higher failure rates than larger companies and normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies. There are unique risks associated with asset-backed securities, convertible securities, credit, foreign securities, income, interest rates, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, preferred stocks, prepayment, securities, sovereign debt, and U.S. Agency securities that are covered in the Fund’s prospectus and SAI.

| 1. | The performance data quoted here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemptions of Fund shares. Total returns would have been lower absent the manager’s fee waiver. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance figures for periods greater than 1 year are annualized. The Fund’s manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to limit operating expenses (excluding front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expenses on securities sold short, underlying fund fees and expenses or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) at 0.80%, 1.55%, 0.75% and 0.55% for Class A shares, Class C shares, Class N shares and Class I shares, respectively, through October 31, 2023. Per the Fund’s most recent prospectus as supplemented, total annual Fund expenses before waiver are 0.87%, 1.62%, 0.82% and 0.62% for Class A shares, Class C shares, Class N shares and Class I shares, respectively. Class A shares are subject to a maximum sales charge of 5.75% imposed on purchases and have a maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00% on purchases of $1 million or more made without an initial sales charge and applies to shares sold within 18 months.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. |

| 2. | The Russell Midcap Total Return Index measures the performance of the mid-cap segment of the US equity universe. It is a subset of the Russell 1000 Index. It includes approximately 800 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership, representing approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 companies. It is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the mid-cap segment.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Mutual Fund Series Trust (the “Trust”), was organized as an Ohio business trust on February 27, 2006. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of thirty-six series. These financial statements include the following series: Eventide Core Bond Fund, Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund, Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund, Eventide Gilead Fund, Eventide Healthcare & Life Sciences Fund, Eventide Large Cap Focus Fund, Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund and the Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund (each a “Fund” or collectively the “Funds”). Each Fund except Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund and Eventide Large Cap Focus Fund is a diversified series of the Trust. Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund and Eventide Large Cap Focus Fund are non-diversified series of the Trust. The Funds’ investment manager is Eventide Asset Management, LLC (the “Manager”).
Eventide Core Bond Fund commenced operations on July 31, 2020. The Fund’s investment objective is total return consistent with income generation.
Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund commenced operations on September 29, 2017. The Fund’s investment objectives are dividend income and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s secondary objective is dividend growth.
Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2020. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.

Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund (formerly Epiphany FFV Strategic Income Fund) Class A and Class I shares commenced operations on July 28, 2010. On March 29, 2017, the Board of Trustees of Epiphany Funds voted to reclassify (the “Conversion”) all outstanding Class C Shares of the Epiphany FFV Strategic Income Fund to Class I shares to be effective on May 30, 2017 (the “Conversion Date”). On the Conversion Date, each Class C share was reclassified as a Class I shares equal in value to the Class C shares owned by that shareholder. The Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund’s Class N and Class C shares commenced operations December 14, 2018. The Fund changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to June 30. The Fund’s investment objective is income.
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund commenced operations on July 15, 2015. The Fund’s investment objective is current income while maintaining the potential for capital appreciation.
Each Fund offers four classes of shares, Class N, Class A, Class C and Class I. Each class differs as to sales and redemption charges and ongoing fees.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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 Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.
a) 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 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 last bid price on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and based on methods which include the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type. The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “underlying funds”). 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 trustees 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 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. 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 manager does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Fund’s holding. Short term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost, provided each such valuations represent fair value. Options are valued at their closing price on the exchange they are traded on. When no closing price is available, options are valued at their mean price.
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.
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most 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. |
| ■ | 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 June 30, 2023 for the Funds’ assets measured at fair value:

b) Accounting for Options - When the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written.
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Funds have realized gains or losses. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Funds.
The Manager may use options strategies, such as puts and covered calls on individual securities, as well as options on securities indices, to generate income, to reduce portfolio volatility, or to reduce downside risk when the manager believes adverse market, political or other conditions are likely. The Manager may also utilize a combination of puts and/or calls regarding the same security (sometimes referred to as “straddles,” “collars” or “spreads”) or utilize puts and calls on related securities. The Funds may purchase a call option on a stock (including securities of exchange traded funds (“ETFs”)) it may purchase at some point in the future. When the Funds purchase an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset. Each day the option contract is valued in accordance with the procedures for security valuation discussed above. When an offsetting option is written (a closing transaction) or the option contract expires, the Funds realize a gain or loss and the asset representing such option contract is eliminated. When a put option is exercised, the Funds realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are decreased by the premiums originally paid. When a call option is exercised, the Funds purchase the underlying security and the cost basis of such purchase is increased by the premium originally paid.
c) Short Sales - The Funds may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which the Funds sell securities they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. To deliver the securities to the buyer, the Funds must arrange through a broker to borrow the securities and, in so doing, the Funds become obligated to replace the securities borrowed at their market price at the time of replacement, whatever that price may be. The Funds will make a profit or incur a loss as a result of a short sale depending on whether the price of the securities decrease or increase between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Funds purchased the securities to replace the borrowed securities that have been sold.
d) Federal Income Tax - The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies and to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required.
As of and during the year ended June 30, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expense. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax expense as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. 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 June 30, 2020, to June 30, 2022, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ June 30, 2023, year-end tax return.
e) Distributions to Shareholders - Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund typically distributes substantially all of its net investment income in the form of dividends, interest and taxable capital gains to its shareholders. These distributions are automatically reinvested in the Fund unless you request cash
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
distributions on your application or through a written request to the Fund. Each Fund expects that its distributions will consist of both capital gains and net investment income. Each Fund may make distributions of its net realized capital gains (after any reductions for capital loss carry forwards) annually. Each Fund intends to make annual capital gains distributions if applicable. The Eventide Core Bond Fund, Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund and Eventide Large Cap Focus Fund intend to make quarterly income distributions if applicable. The Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund and Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund intend to make monthly income distributions if applicable.
f) Multiple Class Allocations - Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative net assets. Distribution fees are charged to each respective share class in accordance with the distribution plan. 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.
g) Security Transactions and Investment Income - Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the specific identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized over their respective lives using the effective interest method, except certain callable debt securities that are held at premium and will be amortized to the earliest call date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from a Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record these distributions as investment income and subsequently adjusts these distributions within the components of net assets based upon their tax treatment when the information becomes available. Distribution from REITs are initially recorded as dividend income and, to the extent such represent a return of capital or capital gain for tax purposes, are reclassified when such information becomes available.
h) Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
i) Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.
j) Redemption Fees and Sales Charges (loads) - A $15 fee may be charged for redemptions made by wire. Redemptions of Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund within 180 days of purchase were subject to a redemption fee of 1.00% effective until June 26, 2023. A maximum sales charge of 5.75% is imposed on Class A shares of the Funds. The maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00% on Class A shares applies only to purchases of $1 million or more made without an initial sales charge and applies to shares sold within 18 months of purchase.
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
The maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00% on Class C shares applies to shares sold within 12 months of purchase. The respective shareholders pay such CDSC charges, which are not an expense of the Funds. For the year ended June 30, 2023, there were the following redemption fees paid to the Funds and CDSC fees paid to the distributor:
| | | | | CDSC Fees | |
Fund | | Redemption Fees | | | Class A | | | Class C | |
Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | 82 | | | $ | 712 | |
Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund | | | 122,525 | | | | — | | | | 641 | |
Eventide Gilead Fund | | | — | | | | 22 | | | | 3,051 | |

Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund | | | — | | | | — | | | | 178 | |
Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund | | | — | | | | 37 | | | | 283 | |
k) Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents are held with a financial institution. Cash and cash equivalents of the Funds may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks and such deposits generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The FDIC insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 for each accountholder. The counterparty is generally a single bank rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The Funds place deposits only with those counterparties which are believed to be creditworthy and there has been no history of loss.

A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
extraordinary expenses, if any) of securities purchased for the Funds and certain other expenses paid by the Funds (as detailed in the Management Agreement). The Manager pays for all employees, office space and facilities required by it to provide services under the Management Agreement, with the exception of specific items of expense (as detailed in the Management Agreement).

Each Fund is authorized to pay the Manager an annual fee based on its average daily net assets. The management fee is paid monthly. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, but only to the extent necessary to maintain each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expenses on securities sold short, underlying fund fees and expenses or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) at a certain level through October 31, 2023. This agreement may be terminated by the Board only on 60 days’ written notice to the Manager and upon the termination of the Management Agreement between the Trust and the Manager. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment by the Manager from the Funds in future years on a rolling three-year basis (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed) if, after the recoupment is taken into account, such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limitation in place at the time of waiver/reimbursement and the expense limitation in place at the time of recapture. Each waiver or reimbursement by the Manager is subject to repayment by the Fund within the three years following the year in which that particular expense is incurred, if the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitation in effect at that time and the repayment is approved by the Board.

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income/(loss), accumulated net realized gain/(loss), and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and adjustments for partnerships, real estate investment trusts, and C-Corporation return of capital.

6. INVESTMENT IN RESTRICTED SECURITIES
Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. Each Fund may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and investment strategies. A Fund will not invest in a restricted security if, immediately after and as a result of the investment in such security, more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets would be invested in illiquid securities. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Investments in restricted securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. It is possible that the estimated value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material.
As of June 30, 2023, the Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund, Eventide Gilead Fund, Eventide Healthcare & Life Sciences Fund and Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund were invested in the following restricted securities:

7. SECTOR EXPOSURE RISK
The Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund invests primarily in equity and equity-related securities of companies in the technology sectors that derive or are expected to derive 50% or more of their revenue from technology products and services including, but not limited to, information technology, communications companies, internet and direct marketing retail services and healthcare technology and devices companies. Because of its focus on technology companies, the Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund’s investment performance will be closely tied to many factors which affect those companies. As a result, the Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund’s net asset value is more likely to have greater fluctuations than that of a fund which invests in other industries.
The Eventide Healthcare & Life Sciences Fund invests primarily in equity and equity-related securities of companies in the healthcare and life sciences sectors that derive or are expected to derive 50% or more of their
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
revenue from healthcare and life science products and services including, but not limited to, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, life science tools, medical devices, healthcare information technology, healthcare services, synthetic biology, agricultural and environmental management, and pharmaceutical manufacturing products and services. Because of its focus on healthcare and life science companies, the Eventide Healthcare & Life Sciences Fund’s investment performance will be closely tied to many factors which affect those companies. As a result, the Eventide Healthcare & Life Sciences Fund’s net asset value is more likely to have greater fluctuations than that of a fund which invests in other industries.
8. OPTIONS RISK
There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. The seller (writer) of a call option which is covered (e.g., the writer holds the underlying security) assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of an underlying security below the purchase price of an underlying security less the premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The seller of an uncovered call option assumes the risk of a theoretical unlimited increase in the market price of an underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The securities necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase except at much higher prices. Purchasing securities to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of securities to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of losing its entire premium invested in the call option. The seller (writer) of a put option which is covered (e.g., the writer has a short position in the underlying security) assumes the risk of an increase in the market price of the underlying security above the sales price (in establishing the short position) of the underlying security plus the premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The seller of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of losing his entire premium invested in the put option.
9. MARKET RISK
Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Funds. The market values of securities or other investments owned by the Funds will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, exchange rates and political events affect the securities markets. Changes in market conditions and interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. Unexpected local, regional or global events and their aftermath, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; climate-change and climate-related events; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; recessions and depressions; or other tragedies, catastrophes and events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to a Fund’s net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. Such events can cause investor fear and panic, which can adversely affect the economies of many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. The Funds 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. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future could adversely affect, the economies of many nations and the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of these effects cannot be determined with certainty.
10. LINE OF CREDIT
Effective January 25, 2023, the Eventide Funds have a $150,000,000 uncommitted line of credit provided by U.S. Bank National Association (the “Bank”) under an agreement (the “Uncommitted Line”), that is set to expire on January 24, 2024. Borrowings under the Uncommitted Line bear an interest at Prime Rate minus 0% per month. Any advance under the Uncommitted Line is contemplated primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Interest on borrowings is payable on an annualized basis. The Uncommitted Line is not a “committed” line of credit, which is to say that the Bank is not obligated to lend money to the Funds. Accordingly, it is possible that Funds may wish to borrow money for a temporary or emergency purpose but may not be able to do so. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Eventide Core Bond Fund, the Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund and the Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund accessed the line of credit. Based only on the days borrowed, the average amount of borrowings outstanding was $459,000, $7,399,500 and $5,977,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the line of credit was used a total of one day for the Eventide Core Bond Fund and the Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund and two days for the Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund. The maximum borrowings amount during the year ended June 30, 2023 was $459,000, $14,298,000 and $5,977,000 for the Eventide Core Bond Fund, the Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund and the Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund, respectively. The maximum borrowings rate during the year ended June 30, 2023 was 5.50%, 6.25% and 7.75%, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the interest expense for the Eventide Core Bond Fund, the Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund and the Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund is $70, $3,983 and $1,286, respectively. The average interest rate for the Eventide Core Bond Fund, the Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund and the Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund during the year ended June 30, 2023 was 5.50%, 5.50% and 7.75%, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, each Fund paid $489 in line of credit fees. As of June 30, 2023, the Eventide Core Bond Fund, the Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund, and the Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund had $0, $0, and $0 in outstanding borrowings on the Uncommitted Line, respectively.
11. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2023, Charles Schwab & Co, Inc. Special Custody Account for the Exclusive Benefit of Customers held 60.87%, 29.39% and 37.15% of the Eventide Core Bond Fund, Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund and Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, TD Ameritrade, Inc. for the Exclusive Benefit of Customers held 34.39% of the Eventide Large Cap Focus Fund. As of June 30, 2023, National Financial Services LLC held 28.26% of the Eventide Large Cap Focus Fund.

Consideration and Renewal of Management Agreement (Unaudited) | June 30, 2023 |
Consideration and Renewal of Management Agreement between Mutual Fund Series Trust and Eventide Asset Management, LLC with respect to Eventide Gilead Fund, Eventide Healthcare and Life Sciences Fund, Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund, Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund, Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund, Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund, and Eventide Core Bond Fund
In connection with a meeting held on May 9, 10 and 22, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Mutual Fund Series 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 the management agreement (the “Eventide Agreement”) between the Trust and Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”) with respect to Eventide Gilead Fund (“Eventide Gilead”), Eventide Healthcare and Life Sciences Fund (“Eventide HLS”), Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund (“Eventide MAI”), Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund (“Eventide DO”), Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund (“Eventide LTB”), Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund (“Eventide ET”) and Eventide Core Bond Fund (“Eventide CB”) (collectively, the “Eventide Renewal Funds”)
The Board examined Eventide’s responses to a series of questions regarding, among other things, its management services provided to the Eventide Renewal Funds, comparative fee and expense information, and profitability from managing the Eventide Renewal Funds. The Board was assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process and relied upon the advice of legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Eventide Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board 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 renewal of the Eventide Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed Eventide’s management team, noting that Eventide continued to invest in talented personnel, and the key personnel that provided both investment related and non-investment related services to the Eventide Renewal Funds. The Board discussed Eventide’s services provided to the Eventide Renewal Funds, including portfolio positioning, security selection, compliance oversight and ethical screening services. The Board commented that Eventide used a third-party service to ensure compliance with the Eventide Renewal Funds’ investment limitations and guidelines on a pre- and post-trade basis and that there had been no material compliance issues since the Eventide Agreement’s most recent renewal. The Board acknowledged Eventide’s transition to a new managed service provider to enhance its cybersecurity protocols and that Eventide reported no material data security incidents. The Board noted that an SEC examination that began in July 2022 was concluded with a “no further action” letter from the SEC. The Board agreed that Eventide’s team members had demonstrated a strong, collaborative working relationship with the Trust. The Board concluded it expected Eventide to continue providing high quality service to each Eventide Renewal Fund and its shareholders.
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
Performance. The Board reviewed the performance of each Eventide Renewal Fund relative to its peer group and Morningstar category.
| ■ | Eventide Gilead: The Board commented that Eventide Gilead had outperformed all benchmarks over the 5-year and 10-year periods, though it underperformed all benchmarks for the 1-year period. The Board observed that Eventide attributed the underperformance to Eventide Gilead’s selection in the information technology and industrials sectors, as well as the impact of inflation and rising interest rates on the industrial sector. The Board acknowledged that Eventide remained committed to Eventide Gilead’s long-term investment strategy. |
| ■ | Eventide HLS: The Board noted that Eventide HLS outperformed all benchmarks for the 1-year and 10-year periods and outperformed the S&P Biotechnology Select Industry TR Index for the 3-year and 5-year periods. The Board discussed Eventide’s explanation that Eventide HLS’s underperformance to the peer group and US Fund Health Morningstar category for the 3-year and 5-year periods could be attributed to its high conviction portfolio, which led to greater volatility. |
| ■ | Eventide MAI: The Board observed that Eventide MAI outperformed all benchmarks for the 3-year, 5-year and since inception periods and outperformed its peer group and Morningstar category over the 1-year period. The Board noted that Eventide MAI outperformed a blended benchmark comprised of 50% Russell Mid Cap Value Index and 50% Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index over the 3-year and 5-year periods. |
| ■ | Eventide DO: The Board noted that Eventide DO outperformed all benchmarks across the 3-year and 5-year periods and its peer group and Morningstar category over the since inception period with strong positive returns, though it underperformed all of its benchmarks for the 1-year period and the Russell Mid Cap Total Return Index over the since inception period due to elevated market volatility. |
| ■ | Eventide LTB: The Board recognized that Eventide LTB outperformed the Bloomberg Government 1-5 year Index over the 1-year and 10-year period but trailed its benchmarks for all other periods. The Board noted that fixed income securities experienced elevated interest rate volatility because of heightened concerns of inflation and restrictive monetary policy. The Board observed that the 3-year and 5-year performance data reflected performance of Eventide LTB under a different sub-advisor. |
| ■ | Eventide ET: The Board remarked that Eventide ET outperformed its peer group for the since inception period but underperformed all of its benchmarks for the 1-year period with negative returns. The Board acknowledged Eventide’s explanation that the underperformance over the 1-year period was a result of Eventide ET’s focus on smaller cap companies and stock selection. The Board took notice of Eventide’s confidence in the long-term performance of Eventide ET’s investment strategy and process. |
| ■ | Eventide CB: The Board discussed that Eventide CB had slightly outperformed the Morningstar category over the 1-year period but underperformed all other benchmarks across all periods. The Board noted that fixed income securities experienced elevated interest rate volatility because of heightened inflation concerns and restrictive monetary policy. The Board considered Eventide’s explanation that the underperformance of Eventide CB compared to its benchmarks was due to Eventide CB’s launch coinciding with the rise in interest rates. |
After discussion, the Board concluded that the performance of each Eventide Renewal Fund was acceptable.
Fees and Expenses: The Board reviewed the management fee for each Eventide Renewal Fund, and the average fees charged by each Eventide Renewal Fund’s peer group and Morningstar category. The Board considered the soft dollar benefits received by Eventide, the sub-advisory fees paid with respect to certain of the Eventide Renewal Funds and the indirect benefits of Rule 12b-1 fees paid with respect to the distribution of the Eventide Renewal Funds. The Board acknowledged Eventide’s belief that its management fees were fair considering its expertise in dividend producing equity sectors, biotechnical research, ethical screening and active management of the Eventide Renewal Funds. The Board noted the uniqueness of the Eventide Renewal Funds in the
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
marketplace. The Board concluded that the management fee for each Eventide Renewal Fund was not unreasonable.
| ■ | Eventide Gilead: The Board commented that Eventide Gilead’s management fee and net expense ratio were above the medians and averages of its peer group and Morningstar category but well below the highs of each. The Board noted that Eventide Gilead’s involved a specialized due diligence process due to the nature of the smaller market capitalization size of portfolio companies than Eventide Gilead’s relevant category or peer group. |
| ■ | Eventide HLS: The Board discussed that Eventide HLS’s management fee and net expense ratio were higher than the medians and averages of its peer group and Morningstar category, but below the highs of each. The Board noted that Eventide employed a highly differentiated values-based screening process to align Eventide HLS’s holdings with its stated objective and required investment personnel with specific training and educational degrees. |
| ■ | Eventide MAI: The Board remarked that Eventide MAI’s management fee was higher than the averages of its peer group and Morningstar category but well below the highs of each. The Board noted that Eventide MAI’s net expense ratio was slightly higher than the medians of its peer group and Morningstar category and average of its peer group but lower than the average of its Morningstar category. The Board acknowledged Eventide’s explanation that the Eventide MAI was the only fund in its peer group that provided values-based screening across a multi-asset base, which provided significant value to Eventide MAI for attracting investors. |
| ■ | Eventide DO: The Board observed that the management fee for Eventide DO was slightly lower than the median of the peer group and on par with the median of its Morningstar category. The Board acknowledged that Eventide DO’s net expense ratio was in line with the median of its peer group and only slightly higher than the median and average of its Morningstar category. |
| ■ | Eventide LTB: The Board noted that Eventide LTB’s management fee was lower than the averages and medians of its peer group and Morningstar category. The Board observed that Eventide LTB’s net expense ratio was lower than the median and average of its peer group and within the range of its Morningstar category. The Board noted that Eventide reduced its management fee for Eventide LTB by two basis points and acknowledged that the sub-advisor proposed to reduce its sub-advisory fee by one basis point once the aggregate asset level of the Funds and investment products offered by Eventide and sub-advised by the sub-advisor exceeded $500 million. |
| ■ | Eventide ET: The Board commented that the management fee and net expense ratio for Eventide ET were higher than the averages and medians of its peer group and Morningstar category, but significantly below the highs of each. |
| ■ | Eventide CB: The Board observed that the management fee for Eventide CB was slightly below the median management fee of the peer group and Morningstar category and slightly higher than the average of its Morningstar category. The Board noted that Eventide CB’s net expense ratio was slightly higher than the averages and medians of the peer group and Morningstar category but well within the range of each. The Board noted that Eventide reduced its management fee for Eventide CB by two basis points and acknowledged that the sub-advisor proposed to reduce its sub-advisory fee by one basis point once the aggregate asset level of the Funds and investment products offered by Eventide and sub-advised by the sub-advisor exceeded $500 million. |
After further discussion, the Board concluded that based on the information and advisory services provided by Eventide and its sub-advisor, including the payment of the sub-advisory fees by Eventide, that the management fee for each Eventide Renewal Fund was not unreasonable.
Profitability: The Board discussed Eventide’s profitability from its relationship with each Eventide Renewal Fund based on the information that Eventide provided and took note of other revenue and expenses related to
A N N U A L R E P O R T | June 30, 2023 |
each Eventide Renewal Fund. The Board noted that some of Eventide’s senior personnel received compensation in the form of ownership distributions that, if included as an operating expense in Eventide’s calculations, would reduce the estimated profit levels. The Board discussed that Eventide calculated its indirect expenses for each Eventide Renewal Fund based on the Fund’s percentage of Eventide’s gross revenue. The Board noted that Eventide was managing Eventide LTB and Eventide CB at a loss. The Board therefore concluded that excessive profitability of Eventide with respect to either of Eventide LTB or Eventide CB was not an issue at this time.
The Board commented that Eventide earned a reasonable profit from its relationship with each of Eventide Gilead, Eventide HLS, Eventide MAI, Eventide DO and Eventide ET. After further discussion, the Board determined that Eventide’s profit in connection with these Eventide Renewal Funds was not excessive.
Economies of Scale: The Board noted that Eventide Gilead had breakpoints in its management fee schedule, but that the other Eventide Funds did not. The Board discussed that each Eventide Renewal Fund had an expense cap and that shareholders benefitted from economies of scale from being in a family of funds. The Board discussed the breakpoints on the fee schedule of the sub-advisor to Eventide MAI, Eventide LTB and Eventide CB and how such breakpoints could benefit Eventide. The Board agreed to revisit the issue of breakpoints at the Eventide Agreement’s next renewal.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Eventide as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Eventide Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded that renewal of the Eventide Agreement was in the best interests of each Eventide Renewal Fund and its respective shareholders.

Consideration and Renewal of Sub-Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) | June 30, 2023 |
Consideration and Renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements between Eventide Asset Management, LLC and Boyd Watterson Asset Management LLC with respect to Eventide Core Bond Fund, Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund and Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund
In connection with a meeting held on May 9, 10 and 22, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Mutual Fund Series 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 the sub-advisory agreements (the “Boyd Agreements”) between Eventide Asset Management, LLC (“Eventide”) and Boyd Watterson Asset Management LLC (“Boyd”) with respect to Eventide Core Bond Fund (“Eventide CB”); Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund (“Eventide LTB”) and Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund (“Eventide MAI”).
The Board examined Boyd’s responses to a series of questions regarding, among other things, its sub-advisory services provided to Eventide CB, Eventide LTB and Eventide MAI, comparative fee and expense information, and profitability from sub-advising Eventide CB, Eventide LTB and Eventide MAI. The Board was assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process and relied upon the advice of legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Boyd Agreements and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board 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 renewal of the Boyd Agreements.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services: The Board noted that there were no recent departures or additions to Boyd’s key personnel servicing Eventide CB, Eventide LTB or Eventide MAI. The Board observed that Boyd provided a variety of investment advisory services to Eventide CB, Eventide LTB and Eventide MAI, including portfolio management and trading and settling of securities. The Board noted that Boyd’s portfolio management team met regularly to assess sector valuation and new issues, purchase and sale candidates, changes in credit ratings and economic and market news. The Board commented that Boyd’s credit research team utilized a bottom-up approach to invest in high quality strategic issuers that could be held throughout a full credit cycle. The Board acknowledged that Boyd drew upon various members of its fixed income team, in addition to the portfolio manager, to fulfill the investment needs of Eventide CB, Eventide LTB and Eventide MAI. The Board observed that Boyd’s proprietary informational technology system was designed to ensure compliance with investment objectives and guidelines. The Board noted that Boyd selected broker-dealers on the basis of best execution and acknowledged that Boyd had reported no material compliance or litigation issues in the past year. The Board acknowledged that Boyd reported that its in-house staff was continuously monitoring and improving its cybersecurity systems and software and that there were no material data security incidents in the past year. After further discussion, the Board concluded that Boyd had the ability to continue providing high quality service to Eventide CB, Eventide LTB, Eventide MAI and their respective shareholders.

Performance. The Board reviewed the performance of each of Eventide CB, Eventide LTB and Eventide MAI relative to its benchmarks.
| ■ | Eventide CB: The Board discussed that Eventide CB had slightly outperformed the Morningstar category over the 1-year period but underperformed all other benchmarks across all periods. The Board noted that fixed income securities experienced elevated interest rate volatility because of heightened inflation concerns and restrictive monetary policy. The Board considered Eventide’s explanation that the underperformance of Eventide CB compared to its benchmarks was due to Eventide CB’s launch coinciding with the rise in interest rates. |
| ■ | Eventide LTB: The Board recognized that Eventide LTB outperformed the Bloomberg Government 1-5 year over the 1-year and 10-year period but trailed its benchmarks for all other periods. The Board noted that fixed income securities experienced elevated interest rate volatility because of heightened concerns of inflation and restrictive monetary policy. The Board observed that the 3-year and 5-year performance data reflected performance of Eventide LTB under a different sub-advisor. |
| ■ | Eventide MA: The Board observed that Eventide MAI outperformed all benchmarks for the 3-year, 5-year and since inception periods and outperformed its peer group and Morningstar category over the 1-year period. The Board noted that Eventide MAI outperformed a blended benchmark comprised of 50% Russell Mid Cap Value Index and 50% Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index over the 3-year and 5-year periods. |
Fees and Expenses. The Board discussed Boyd’s tiered sub-advisory fee schedule for Eventide CB, Eventide LTB and Eventide MAI, including the levels at which breakpoints would reduce the fee. The Board noted that Boyd added a larger breakpoint at $500 million and a sub-advisory fee of 0.06% at that breakpoint, which was a one basis point reduction once the aggregate asset level of the Funds and investment products offered by Eventide and sub-advised by Boyd exceeded $500 million. The Board acknowledged Boyd’s assertion that there would be no changes in the services and quality provided as a result of the fee reduction. The Board reviewed the allocation of fees between Eventide and Boyd relative to their respective duties and other factors and agreed the allocations for Eventide CB, Eventide LTB and Eventide MAI were appropriate. They also considered the sub-advisory fee breakpoints, the benefit of which accrued to the Funds. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory fees for Eventide CB, Eventide LTB and Eventide MAI were not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board recognized that Boyd earned a modest profit from sub-advising each of Eventide CB, Eventide LTB and Eventide MAI. The Board determined that Boyd’s profits were not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Boyd had realized economies of scale with respect to the sub-advisory services provided to any of Eventide CB, Eventide LTB or Eventide MAI. The Board agreed that this was primarily an advisor-level issue and should be considered with respect to the overall management agreement taking into consideration the impact of the sub-advisory expense. The Board concluded that, based on the current size of Eventide CB, Eventide LTB, and Eventide MAI, it was unlikely that Boyd was benefitting from any material economies of scale, but would be monitored alongside the advisor fees.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Boyd as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Boyd Agreements, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded that renewal of the Boyd Agreements was in the best interests of Eventide CB, Eventide LTB, Eventide MAI and their shareholders.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited) | June 30, 2023 |
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Funds’ investment strategies and the liquidity of their 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 year ended June 30, 2023, the Board and the Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the “Committee”) reviewed the Funds’ investments and they 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 Board and 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.

Expense Examples (Unaudited) | June 30, 2023 |
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases of Class A shares; and 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 a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example for Eventide Core Bond Fund, Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund, Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund, Eventide Gilead Fund, Eventide Healthcare & Life Sciences Fund, Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund and Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023.
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 entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” columns in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each of Eventide Core Bond Fund, Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund, Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund, Eventide Gilead Fund, Eventide Healthcare & Life Sciences Fund, Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund and Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual returns. 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.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited) | June 30, 2023 |
On March 9, 2023, BBD, LLP (“BBD”) ceased to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Eventide Core Bond Fund, Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund, Eventide Exponential Technologies Fund, Eventide Gilead Fund, Eventide Healthcare & Life Sciences Fund, Eventide Large Cap Focus Fund, Eventide Limited-Term Bond Fund and the Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund (The “Funds”), each a series of Mutual Fund Series Trust. The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees approved the replacement of BBD as a result of Cohen & Company, Ltd.’s (“Cohen”) acquisition of BBD’s investment management group.
The reports of BBD on the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through March 9, 2023, (i) there were no disagreements between the registrant and BBD on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BBD, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its report on the financial statements of the Funds for such years or interim period; and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 3041,(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The registrant requested that BBD furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed as an exhibit to Form N-CSR.
On May 22, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees also recommended and approved the appointment of Cohen as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through May 22, 2023, neither the registrant, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Cohen on behalf of the Funds regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds’ financial statements, or any matter that was either: (i) the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 3041,(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto; or (ii) “reportable events,” as defined in Item 3041,(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
(a) | Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the registrant's principal accountant for the audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years are as follows: |

| | | |
(b) | Audit-Related Fees. There were no fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurances and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this item. |
(c) | Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance are as follows: |

Eventide Large Cap Focus Fund | 3,000 | - |
(d) | All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the registrant’s principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this item were $0 and $0 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively. |
(e)(1) | The audit committee does not have pre-approval policies and procedures. Instead, the audit committee or audit committee chairman approves on a case-by-case basis each audit or non-audit service before the principal accountant is engaged by the registrant. |
(e)(2) | There were no services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |
(f) | Not applicable. The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees was zero percent (0%). |
(g) | All non-audit fees billed by the registrant's principal accountant for services rendered to the registrant for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively are disclosed in (b)-(d) above. There were no audit or non-audit services performed by the registrant's principal accountant for the registrant's adviser. |
(h) | Not applicable. The registrant's audit committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence. |
(i) | Not applicable. |
(j) | Not applicable. |
