NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018 (UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AmericaFirst Quantitative Funds (the“Trust”) was reorganized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 4, 2013. Prior to January 4, 2013, the series of the Trust, other than AmericaFirst Seasonal Rotation Fund and AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund, were each a part of the Mutual Fund Series Trust, an Ohio business trust organized on February 27, 2006. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the“1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of six series: AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund, AmericaFirst LargeCap Share Buyback Fund, AmericaFirst Quantitative Strategies Fund, AmericaFirst Seasonal Rotation Fund (formerly AmericaFirst Seasonal Trends Fund), AmericaFirst Tactical Alpha Fund (formerly AmericaFirst Absolute Return Fund), AmericaFirst Income Fund (formerly AmericaFirst Income Trends Fund), and (each a“Fund”and collectively, the“Funds”). The Funds are registered as diversified series of the Trust, except the Large Cap Share Buyback Fund which is non-diversified. The investment objectives of each Fund are set forth below. AmericaFirst Capital Management, LLC (the“Manager”) is investment advisor to the Funds.
AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund (“Defensive Growth Fund”) commenced operations on May 23, 2011. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation through all market cycles.
AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund (“Large Cap Share Buyback Fund”) commenced operations on January 31, 2017. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide growth of capital.
AmericaFirst Quantitative Strategies Fund (“Quantitative Strategies Fund”) commenced operations on September 28, 2007. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation and to achieve positive returns through all market cycles.
AmericaFirst Seasonal Rotation Fund (“Seasonal Rotation Fund”) commenced operations on October 31, 2013. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation with a focus on producing positive returns regardless of the direction of the financial markets.
AmericaFirst Tactical Alpha Fund (“Tactical Alpha Fund”) commenced operations on February 26, 2010. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation with a focus on producing positive returns regardless of the direction of financial markets.
AmericaFirst Income Fund (“Income Fund”) commenced operations on July 1, 2010. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a high rate of current income with less volatility than common stocks as measured by standard deviation. The Fund seeks total return as a secondary investment objective.
The Defensive Growth Fund, Large Cap Share Buyback Fund, Seasonal Rotation Fund, Tactical Alpha Fund, and Income Fund, each offer three classes of shares, Class A, Class I, and Class U. The Quantitative Strategies Fund offers three classes of shares, 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 Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
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 primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies and exchange traded funds (the “underlying funds”). Open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The underlying funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the Boards of the underlying funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies and exchange traded funds, 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 or exchange traded fund purchased by the Funds will not change.
In unusual circumstances, instead of valuing securities in the usual manner, the Funds may value securities at “fair value” as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, pursuant to the procedures (the “Procedures”) approved by the Board. The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security. Fair value may also be used by the Board if extraordinary events occur after the close of the relevant world market but prior to the NYSE close (generally 4:00 pm eastern time).
Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”)–The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds. ETFs are typically a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and typically represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Funds may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. There are risks of owning the underlying securities the ETFs are designed to track, and the lack of liquidity of an ETF may result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Each Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of December 31, 2018 for each Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

As of and during the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Large Cap Share Buyback Fund, Seasonal Rotation Fund, and Income Fund held no securities that were considered to be “Level 3”securities (those valued using significant unobservable inputs). Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value is not applicable.

AMR Corporation – The Fund uses a cash flow forecast and valuation model, approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“the Board”), to value AMR Corp. The model focuses on forecasting the disposition of pending creditor claims related to the bankruptcy estate of AMR Corp. as well as the timing of such disposition. The model incorporates numerous observable factors such as amount of unresolved bankruptcy claims, the current share price of America Airlines Group, Inc. (America Airlines Group, Inc. shares are used to pay settled bankruptcy claims), and yields on debt of various maturities. The model also includes a number of unobservable factors and assumptions, such as percent of bankruptcy claims deemed to be meritorious, time to disposition, and appropriate discount factor to apply to projected payments to AMR Corp. owners upon ultimate resolution of pending bankruptcy claims. Using assumptions in this manner is a part of the Fund’s valuation policy and procedures and provides consistency in the application of valuation assumptions.
The following table provides quantitative information about the Fund’s Level 3 values, as well as its inputs, as of December 31, 2018. The table is not all-inclusive, but provides information on the significant Level 3 inputs.

The total change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) included in the statement of operations attributable to level 3 investments still held at December 31, 2018 was $(51,022), $(35,381), and $(23,588) for the Defensive Growth Fund,Quantitative Strategies Fund, and Tactical Alpha Fund, respectively.
On April 9, 2018, the Defensive Growth Fund purchased a security from Moneta Ventures Fund II in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, originally in the amount of $271,517. As such, the shares are subject to restrictions such as transferability and market quotations that are not readily available for the purpose of valuing this portfolio holding.
On March 26, 2018, the Quantitative Strategies Fund purchased a security from Moneta Ventures Fund II in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, originally in the amount of $203,638. As such, the shares are subject to restrictions such as transferability and market quotations that are not readily available for the purpose of valuing this portfolio holding.
On March 26, 2018, the Tactical Alpha Fund purchased a security from Moneta Ventures Fund II in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, originally in the amount of $135,758. As such, the shares are subject to restrictions such as transferability and market quotations that are not readily available for the purpose of valuing this portfolio holding.
As of December 31, 2018, the Board valued the shares of Moneta Ventures Fund II having taken into consideration certain pertinent factors. Because there are no market quotations for this security, it is possible that the valuation assigned by the Board may differ significantly from the amount that might be ultimately realized in near term and the difference could be material.
As of December 31, 2018,the percentage of the Defensive Growth Fund’s total net assets represented by illiquid securities was 3.23%, the percentage of the Quantitative Strategies Fund’s total net assets represented by illiquid securities was 2.58%, and the percentage of the Tactical Alpha Fund’s total net assets represented by illiquid securities was 1.86%. No Fund may invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.
The Funds had no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended December 31, 2018. It is the Funds’ policy to record transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 at the end of the reporting period.
b) Short Sales–A “short sale” is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own, but has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. A Fund is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it on the open market at a later date. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time a Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a loss, unlimited in size. Conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a gain, limited to the price at which a fund sold the security short.
c) Federal Income Tax – The Funds intend to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all of their taxable income, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. 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 has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions on returns filed for open tax years (2015-2017) or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2018 tax returns. The Funds identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
d) Distribution to Shareholders - Distributions from investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, mark-to-market on open Section 1256 contracts) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
e) Other – Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. 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 using the effective interest method. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized over their respective lives. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
f) Multiple Class Allocations – Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on average 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) Foreign Currency – The accounting records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
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) Commitments and Contingencies – 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)
ETF and ETN Investments - ETF, Mutual Fund and Exchange Traded Note (“ETN”) Risk – ETFs, mutual funds and ETNs are subject to investment advisory or management and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by each Fund. Each is subject to specific risks, depending on investment strategy. Also, each may be subject to leverage risk, which will magnify losses. ETNs are subject to default risks.
k) Restricted securities are generally acquired directly or indirectly from an issuer in a nonpublic offering. Because restricted securities are generally subject to restrictions on transfer, market quotations for such securities are generally not readily available, and they are considered to be illiquid securities. The Board of Trustees (“Board”) has adopted Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures that, among other things, provide guidelines for the valuation of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available (“Valuation Procedures”). The Valuation Procedures delegate the responsibility for determining the fair value of securities for which market quotations are not readily available to a Valuation Committee, subject to review and oversight by the Board of Trustees (“Board”). Under circumstances where the Adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by a pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, such securities are also valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, subject to review and oversight by Board of Trustees.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation), undistributed net investment income/loss and accumulated net realized gains/ (losses) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles, and adjustments for real estate investment trusts, partnerships, grantor trusts and constructive sales of securities held short. In addition, the amount listed under other book/tax differences is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on straddles and adjustments for constructive sales of securities held short.

These regulations were effective November 5, 2018, and the Fund is complying with them effective with these financial statements.
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), “Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which amends the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), “Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 includes new, eliminated, and modified disclosure requirements for ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2018-13 clarifies that materiality is an appropriate consideration of entities when evaluating disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted and the Fund has adopted ASU 2018-13 with these financial statements.
AMERICAFIRST QUANTITATIVE FUNDS
EXPENSE ILLUSTRATION
DECEMBER 31, 2018 (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The example below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period July 1, 2018 and held for the entire period through December 31, 2018.
Actual Expenses
The first section of each table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period/year.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of each table provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of 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. For more information on transactional costs, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus.

Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the AmericaFirst Quantitative Funds and the Adviser
At an in person meeting held on September 18, 2018, the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or the "Trustees") including the Trustees who are not "interested persons", as such term is defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Independent Trustees"), considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the AmericaFirst Quantitative Funds (the "Trust") and AmericaFirst Capital Management, LLC (the "Adviser"), with respect to the AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund (the "Defensive Growth Fund"), AmericaFirst Income Fund (the "Income Fund"), AmericaFirst Tactical Alpha Fund (the "Tactical Alpha Fund"), AmericaFirst Quantitative Strategies Fund (the "Quantitative Strategies Fund"), AmericaFirst Seasonal Rotation Fund (the "Seasonal Rotation Fund"), and AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund (the "Buyback Fund") (each a "Fund" and together, the "Funds"). In its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summarizes matters considered.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board examined the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds. The Trustees reviewed materials provided by the Adviser related to the Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Funds, a description of investment decisions and trade execution, both parts of the Adviser's Form ADV, a revenue and expenses summary, current and projected assessment of financial condition, an overview of the personnel that perform services for the Funds, the compliance policies and procedures of the Adviser, including a certification that the Adviser has adopted a Code of Ethics containing provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons, as that term is defined in Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, from engaging in conduct prohibited by Rule 17j-1(b), historical and comparative performance information, and other policies and procedures of the Adviser. The Trustees considered Adviser summaries regarding the Funds' investment strategies. The Trustees discussed the nature of the Adviser's operations, increased financial flexibility, the quality of the Adviser's compliance infrastructure, and both the experience of and recent changes to its fund management support personnel. The Trustees also noted that the Trust and the Adviser jointly participate in a $2 million errors and omissions insurance policy with a $50,000 deductible. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the Adviser has sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided by the Adviser generally meet the Board's expectations.
Performance. Next, the Board compared the performance of each Fund against a respective benchmark and peer group over the one-year, three-year, five-year, and ten-year periods, as applicable. The Quantitative Strategies Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the time periods shown; and outperformed the Morningstar Tactical Allocation peer group for the one-year period, but underperformed for the other periods. The Tactical Alpha Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the time periods shown; and outperformed the Morningstar Tactical Allocation peer group for the one-year and five-year periods, but underperformed slightly for the three-year period. The Income Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, for the one-year and three-year periods, and slightly lagged over the five-year period; and underperformed the Morningstar Tactical Allocation peer group for the periods shown. The Defensive Growth Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the time periods shown, and underperformed the Morningstar Long/Short Equity peer group for the periods shown. The Seasonal Rotation Fund underperformed its benchmark, the DJ Moderate US Portfolio Index, for the one-year period and only somewhat for the three-year period; and underperformed the Morningstar Tactical Allocation peer group for the one-year period and only slightly for the three-year period. The Buyback Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the one-year period; and outperformed the Morningstar Large Blend peer group for the one-year period.
Overall, the Board found performance somewhat below expectations but, considered that the novel nature of the Funds' strategies is likely to lead to periods of underperformance from time to time. Based, in part, upon the analysis provided by the Adviser, the Board agreed that it would be inadvisable for the Adviser to deviate from its long-term approach and the Board was satisfied with the strategy fine tuning being undertaken by the Adviser. In total, the Board found performance to be satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses. The Trustees reviewed information regarding comparative fees charged by the Adviser to fees charged by other advisers to respective peer groups of funds. The Board noted that the advisory fee for the Funds was above the average for each respective peer group, but within the range of reasonable advisory fees charged by advisers in each respective peer group. The Trustees noted that Tactical Alpha Fund class A net expenses were slightly above the upper end of the peer group range. They also noted that each other Fund share class had net expense ratios that were above average when compared to the respective peer group, but within the range of reasonable fees for the respective class of the peer group. It was also noted that the Adviser continues to provide an expense limitation for each Fund. The Trustees considered the level of sophistication utilized by the Adviser in executing its investment strategies and concluded that the level of advisory fees paid to the Adviser was not unreasonable in light of the quality of the services received from the Adviser.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there will be economies of scale in respect of the management of the Funds. The Board considered the Adviser's expectation for growth and the current level of assets of each Fund, and agreed that the absence of breakpoints was acceptable at present. However, the Board noted they would revisit the matter as assets in the Funds' grow.
Profitability. The Trustees considered that the Adviser did not receive its full fee because of the effect of the expense limitation agreement. They also considered the Adviser's expenses for serving the Funds as well as each Fund's projected growth. The Trustees discussed a profitability summary analysis provided by the Adviser as well as an income statement from the Adviser. The Trustees noted that the advisory fees are reasonable and not excessively profitable to the Adviser taking into account the totality of the relationship with each Fund. The Trustees concluded that based on current and projected asset levels, that they were satisfied that the Adviser's level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds is not excessive.
Conclusion. During the Board's deliberations, it was noted that the Board did not identify any single piece of information that was all-important or controlling with respect to the Advisory Agreement for each Fund. Based on the Board's deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved renewal of the Advisory Agreement on behalf of each Fund.
