managment’s discussion of fund performance
The Small Cap Fund’s fiscal year faced challenges due to the Federal Reserve’s ongoing monetary tightening and “higher for longer” stance. The Fed Funds rate remained at 5.33%, with the last 25 basis point hike in July 2023. Despite no policy changes, economic releases caused volatile shifts in rate expectations. The Fund returned 7.7% for the fiscal year, underperforming the Russell 2000 Growth index’s 12.8% due to brief periods of low-quality stock leadership.
Rate expectation volatility drove market reactions, swinging between optimism and concern. By the end of Q3 2023, the Fund had a 10.1% year-to-date return, compared to the Russell 2000 Growth index’s 5.2%. Economic resilience and persistent core inflation pushed 10-year Treasury yields to 4.99% in mid-October. Sentiment shifted as the Fed reduced inflation, with core CPI dropping to 3.9% in December 2023 from 5.7% a year earlier. A rally began on October 27th, fueled by the Fed’s December signal of accommodation.
In Q4 2023, the Fund returned 9.2%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Growth index by 3.5%. Low-quality stocks led the late-quarter rally, with non-earning companies and the biotech sector performing strongly. December’s accommodative policy indication for 2024 suggested a potential soft landing, with the Fed hinting at three rate cuts. Q4 2023 GDP grew by 3.4%, marking six consecutive quarters of better-than-expected growth. By Q1 2024, GDP revisions continued to rise, and the Fed projected only one rate cut for the year.
In May, economic data weakened, and the Russell 2000 Growth index fell by 2.9% in Q2 2024. Over 30 central banks cut rates, and the Fed’s stance wavered as unemployment rose. For H1 2024, the Fund returned 1.8%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Growth index’s 4.4%. Quality stocks outperformed, while high-leverage and high-beta stocks also did well. Market capitalization disparities were significant, with the highest quintile returning 46.4% and the lowest quintiles underperforming.
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) was a standout, returning 188% in H1 2024 and significantly impacting the Russell 2000 Growth index. Mega Cap stocks dominated, with the top seven S&P 500 stocks generating 115% of Q2 returns. Micro and small-cap stocks traded at a discount to large caps. In July, as economic conditions supported monetary accommodation, small-cap stocks rallied. The Russell 2000 Growth index returned 8.2%, while the Fund returned 4.8%, led by low-quality stocks.
Short-term underperformance in a concentrated portfolio can create opportunities, especially in a normalized interest rate environment where quality growth stocks may excel.

managment’s discussion of fund performance
The Micro Cap Fund’s fiscal year faced challenges due to the Federal Reserve’s ongoing monetary tightening and “higher for longer” stance. The Fed Funds rate remained at 5.33%, with the last 25 basis point hike in July 2023. Despite no policy changes, economic releases caused volatile shifts in rate expectations. The Fund returned 1.8% for the fiscal year, underperforming the Russell Microcap Growth index’s 11.1% due to brief periods of low-quality stock leadership.
Rate expectation volatility drove market reactions, swinging between optimism and concern. By the end of Q3 2023, the Fund had a 5.3% year-to-date return, compared to the Russell Microcap Growth index’s -5.6%. Economic resilience and persistent core inflation pushed 10-year Treasury yields to 4.99% in mid-October. Sentiment shifted as the Fed reduced inflation, with core CPI dropping to 3.9% in December 2023 from 5.7% a year earlier. A rally began on October 27th, fueled by the Fed’s December signal of accommodation.
In Q4 2023, the Fund underperformed the Russell Microcap Growth index by 12.0%. Low-quality stocks led the late-quarter rally, with non-earning companies and the biotech sector performing strongly. December’s accommodative policy indication for 2024 suggested a potential soft landing, with the Fed hinting at three rate cuts. Q4 2023 GDP grew by 3.4%, marking six consecutive quarters of better-than-expected growth. By Q1 2024, GDP revisions continued to rise, and the Fed projected only one rate cut for the year.
In May, economic data weakened, and the Russell Microcap Growth index fell by 5.6% in Q2 2024. Over 30 central banks cut rates, and the Fed’s stance wavered as unemployment rose. For H1 2024, the Fund returned 7.7%, outperforming the Russell Microcap Growth index’s 0.7%. Quality stocks outperformed, while high-leverage and high-beta stocks also did well. Market capitalization disparities were significant, with the highest quintile returning 13.2% and the lowest quintiles underperforming.
Mega Cap stocks dominated, with the top seven S&P 500 stocks generating 115% of Q2 returns. Micro and small-cap stocks traded at a discount to large caps. In July, as economic conditions supported monetary accommodation, small-cap stocks rallied. The Russell Microcap Growth index returned 10.2%, while the Fund returned 6.7%, led by low-quality stocks.
Short-term underperformance in a concentrated portfolio can create opportunities, especially in a normalized interest rate environment where quality growth stocks may excel. Long-term Fund performance demonstrates the durability of quality growth, particularly during periods of lower speculation.

Ranger Funds Investment Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
July 31, 2024
Note 1. Organization
Ranger Funds Investment Trust (the “Trust”), is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The affairs of the Trust are managed by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”). The Trust was organized on June 21, 2011, as a Delaware Statutory Trust. The Trust currently offers shares of beneficial interest (“shares”) of two series: Ranger Small Cap Fund and Ranger Micro Cap Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). Ranger Small Cap Fund (“Small Cap Fund”) is a diversified portfolio with an investment objective to seek long-term capital appreciation. Ranger Micro Cap Fund (“Micro Cap Fund”) is a diversified portfolio with an investment objective to seek long-term capital appreciation. Each Fund has Institutional Class Shares and Investor Class Shares; however, the Funds do not currently offer their Investor Class shares for sale. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board to create additional funds and share classes.
Ranger Investment Management, L.P. (“Ranger Investment”) serves as investment adviser to the Funds. Ranger Investment is referred to as the “Adviser.”
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. 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 Updated 2013-08.
Trust expenses for the Funds are allocated based on their relative net assets within the Trust or allocated based on the number of Funds within the Trust.
Security Valuations: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 4.
Federal Income Taxes: The Funds make no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Funds intend to qualify each year as “regulated investment companies” (“RICs”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of their taxable income. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2021-2023) or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2024 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal, however the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended July 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. For financial reporting purposes the treatment of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income, net realized capital, or return of capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value per share of the Funds.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment transactions and related investment income: The Funds record security transactions on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statement and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. 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 certain investments held by the Funds may be comprised of dividends, realized gains and returns of capital. The amounts may subsequently be reclassified upon receipt of information from the issuer.
Share Valuation: The net asset value per share of each class of shares for the Funds are calculated daily by dividing the total value of each Fund’s assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares of that class outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share of each class of the Funds is equal to the net asset value per share.
Share Class Accounting: Investment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated to each respective share class of the respective Fund on the basis of the daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that share class.
Each class of shares has proportionate rights as to assets of the respective Funds, and the classes are identical except for ongoing distribution fees. Investor Class shares are subject to distribution fees, whereas Institutional Class shares are not. All classes have equal voting privileges, except where otherwise required by law or when the Trustees determine that the matter to be voted on affects only the interests of the shareholders of a particular class.
Guarantees and Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and would involve future claims against the Funds that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Funds would expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 3. Risks
An investment in the Funds is subject to a variety of risk, including the possible loss of investment capital. Additional risks associated with the Funds include, but are not limited to:
Micro and Small Capitalization Risk: Micro or small capitalization companies may be more at risk than large capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. The prices of securities of micro and small capitalization companies generally are more volatile than those of large capitalization companies and are more likely to be adversely affected by changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions than large capitalization companies. Securities of small capitalization companies may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate, and may offer greater potential for losses.
Equity Market Risk: Equity markets can be volatile and the prices of common stocks can fluctuate significantly. In addition, the Small Cap Fund portfolio and Micro Cap Fund portfolio invests in small capitalization companies and micro capitalization companies, respectively, which may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies.
Liquidity Risk: Some small cap and micro cap securities may have few market-makers and low trading volume, which can increase transaction costs and may make it difficult or impossible for the Funds to dispose of a security position at all or at a price which represents current or fair market value.
A number of other risks are associated with an investment in the Fund, including: issuer specific risks, liquidity risks, and risks associated with the Adviser’s judgment. Greater detail on each of the above stated risks may be found in the Funds’ prospectuses.
Note 4. Security Valuations
In computing net asset value, portfolio securities of the Funds are generally valued at their current market values determined on the basis of readily available market quotations, when available. If market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in its capacity as the Board’s valuation designee, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As a general matter, fair value represents the amount that a Fund could reasonably expect to receive if such Fund’s investment in the security were sold at the time of valuation. The Adviser may utilize third parties to assist the Adviser in its capacity as valuation designee available at the time the valuation is made and that the Adviser believes to be reliable. The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or 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.
Fair Value Measurements: A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.
Equity securities (common stock including ADRs) - Equity securities are valued by using market quotations furnished by a pricing service when the valuation designee believes such prices accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Generally, if the security is traded in an active market and is valued at the last sale price, the security is categorized as a Level 1 security. When the security position is not considered to be part of an active market or when the security is valued at the bid price, the position is generally categorized as a Level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the valuation designee determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value or when illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued at fair value as determined by the valuation designee in good faith, in accordance with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board and are categorized as Level 3.
Money market funds are generally priced at the ending net asset value (“NAV”) provided by the service agent of the Funds. These securities will be classified as Level 1 of the value hierarchy.
The following table presents information about the Small Cap Fund’s investments measured at fair value as of July 31, 2024:
| Assets | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| Common Stocks | $34,766,383 | $ - | $ - | $34,766,383 |
| Short-Term Investment | 1,478,409 | - | - | 1,478,409 |
| Total | $36,244,792 | $ - | $ - | $36,244,792 |
The following table presents information about the Micro Cap Fund’s investments measured at fair value as of July 31, 2024:
| Assets | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| Common Stocks | $10,174,420 | $ - | $ - | $10,174,420 |
| Short-Term Investment | 615,747 | - | - | 615,747 |
| Total | $10,790,167 | $ - | $ - | $10,790,167 |
The Funds did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 assets as of July 31, 2024. Therefore a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value is not applicable. For more detail on the investments, please refer to the Schedules of Investments. The Funds also did not have transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the year ended July 31, 2024.
Note 5. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Adviser may recoup any waived or reimbursed amount from each respective Fund pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement if such reimbursement does not cause the respective Fund to exceed existing expense Fund limitations at the time of the original waiver/reimbursement and the reimbursement is made within three years after the respective adviser incurred the expenses. As of July 31, 2024, Ranger Investment is entitled to recapture $370,114 in expenses pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement from the Small Cap Fund and $168,652 in expenses pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement from the Micro Cap Fund.

Note 9. Federal Income Taxes
Small Cap Fund
During the year ended July 31, 2024, a long-term capital gain distribution of $ 1.084743 per share was paid on December 27, 2023, for shareholders on record as of December 26, 2023, for a total distribution of $1,946,692.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended July 31, 2024, was as follows:
Capital Gain $ 1,946,692
During the year ended July 31, 2023, a long-term capital gain distribution of $0.566958 per share was paid on December 28, 2022, for shareholders on record as of December 27, 2022, for a total distribution of $1,202,235.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended July 31, 2023, was as follows:
Capital Gain $ 1,202,235
As of July 31, 2024, for federal tax purposes the total investment aggregate cost is $31,219,844, the gross unrealized appreciation is $8,079,606 and the gross unrealized depreciation is $3,054,658 resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $5,024,948. The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. As of July 31, 2024, for tax purposes the Small Cap Fund’s other accumulated capital losses is $611,974. Additionally, the Small Cap Fund has elected to defer late year ordinary losses of $79,419. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the following fiscal year. Small Cap Fund adjusts certain components of capital to reflect permanent differences between financial statement amounts and net income and realized gains/losses determined in accordance with income tax rules. Accordingly, during the year ended July 31, 2024, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid in capital of $138,391, and a corresponding increase in distributable earnings of $138,391, which primarily resulted from net operating losses. The total distributable earnings for the Small Cap Fund are $4,333,556. As of July 31, 2024, the Small Cap Fund has capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, if any, subject to the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended July 31, 2023, was as follows:
Capital Gain $ 1,968,499
As of July 31, 2024, for federal tax purposes the total investment aggregate cost is $9,697,244, the gross unrealized appreciation is $2,062,747 and the gross unrealized depreciation is $969,824 resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $1,092,923. The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. As of July 31, 2024, for tax purposes the Micro Cap Fund’s undistributed ordinary income is $31,543 and its other temporary losses is $2,596. Additionally, the Micro Cap Fund has elected to defer post-October capital losses of $249,934 and late year ordinary losses of $21,903. These losses are deemed to arise on the first day of the following fiscal year. The total distributable earnings for the Micro Cap Fund are $850,034.
Note 10. Control 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 July 31, 2024, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. held in omnibus accounts for the benefit of others, approximately 49.89% of the voting securities of the Small Cap Fund and may be deemed to control the Small Cap Fund. As of July 31, 2024, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. held in omnibus accounts for the benefit of others, approximately 45.00% of the voting securities of the Micro Cap Fund and may be deemed to control the Micro Cap Fund. As of July 31, 2024, R. E. Smith Sub S Trust held approximately 28.71% of the voting securities of the Small Cap Fund and may be deemed to control the Small Cap Fund. However, the above ownership does not constitute control with respect to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC's”) auditor independence rules as they are not beneficial owners with significant influence over the Funds.
Note 11. Market 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 the Funds may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions, you could lose your entire investment.
Note 12. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has noted no such events required adjustment or disclosure.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Ranger Funds Investment Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Ranger Funds Investment Trust comprising Ranger Small Cap Fund and Ranger Micro Cap Fund (the “Funds”) as of July 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of July 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Funds’ financial highlights for the years ended July 31, 2021, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 29, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2021.
