Letter to Shareholders of the Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund (AFLIX)
The Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund” or “AFLIX”) completed its sixth full fiscal year on October 31, 2019, and over this time period we are pleased to report that the Fund reached the $300M Assets Under Management threshold. The Fund’s performance over the most recent fiscal year: A shares -1.54%, C shares -2.34%, I shares -1.29%, net of all fees and expenses. Benchmark performance over the most recent fiscal year: Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, 11.51%; Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate US Aggregate Index, 8.83%; Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury: 1-3 Year Index, 4.62%. Over the period in question, we saw a strong interest rate / duration driven rally in fixed income markets. As the Adviser’s investment goal, although there is no guarantee, is for the Fund to be a stable, low volatility instrument under normal market conditions, the Fund did not fully participate in this rally. Nevertheless, and while noting that past results are no guarantee of future performance, we believe the Fund is currently doing what it is designed to do.
What is AFLIX Fund Designed to Do?
When designing fixed income portfolios, we believe the best approach is to utilize a large, flexible core with smaller, selectively chosen satellites which have intermediate holding periods. AFLIX is designed to be that large, opportunistic, flexible core—many tactical trades are made within the Fund. As a result, we seek to target a lower volatility, higher yielding profile. Therefore, we generally do not expect the Fund to be a “high-flyer” with recurring, extreme episodes of out or under performance. Despite a tough fiscal year, and although past performance is no guarantee of future performance, we believe over the long term, the Fund has and continues to accomplish this purpose.
In light of the Fund’s fiscal year performance, we believe it is prudent to reflect on the year and examine what contributed to overall performance and what detracted from overall performance.
Performance Contributors:
Corporate bond, CLO, & term loan positions – though (by choice) our positions are shorter in duration than broad corporate fixed income indices, they still performed well over the Fund’s fiscal year.
In addition, we are very comfortable with our portfolio from a credit perspective. At this stage of the credit cycle, with a record amount of BBB debt, bloated corporate balance sheets, and a looming maturity wall over the next several years, we believe our bottom-up, fundamental-driven security selection process will be invaluable for investors looking to navigate these uncertain times.
Performance Detractors:
Duration positioning – primarily expressed by our agency mortgage holdings, particularly those with negative duration.
Mortgage sleeve mix – we were overweight agency mortgages with negative duration exposures. Though attractive from a yield perspective, we underestimated the affect these positions would have on the portfolio as Treasuries rallied sharply.
Over the fiscal year in question, the yield on the 10- Year US Treasury fell from 3.14% to 1.69% (source: US Treasury), signifying a massive rally in longer- dated, high-duration bonds. Due to our overweight to negative duration MBS’, we did not participate in this rally, and the Fund’s performance was materially impacted.
What Have We Done to Correct our Positioning?
Duration Positioning – In August we added duration by adjusting our mortgage holdings and by taking long positions in the Treasury markets through futures. We believe the current portfolio is properly hedged against interest rate movements.
1
Potential Upside in Select Mortgages – We believe that some of the Fund’s mortgage positions have underperformed our expectations, but we believe these positions will outperform in the long run. In addition, these positions are very seasoned agency mortgages (virtually zero credit risk) offering very attractive yields in this low interest rate environment. Overall, we are comfortable with all of our holdings and believe there is potential upside to these positions, even after possible pricing adjustments.
Current Fixed Income Investment Strategy
● | While maintaining a defensive position relative to interest rates, gradually increase treasury exposure and duration as we expect rates to remain within a range and potentially go lower |
● | Emphasize high quality yield enhancing corporate credit / MBS / ABS fixed income allocations |
● | Continue to seek select opportunities in hybrid securities |
● | Remain vigilant and opportunistic while monitoring stretched high yield markets |
● | Favor front-end of the yield curve for quality paper as we are not being compensated to extend further out. Compensation beyond 2-3 years requires on boarding excess risk that we feel is not prudent unless it is a special circumstance |
Directional (top-down macro) | Defensive, positioned for current rates and potentially going lower; target duration between 1 to 3 years |
Yield Curve | 1 – 5 years (short-intermediate) mainly driven by directional, duration, sector, and yield views |
Sector | Emphasize all grade yield enhancing corporate credits with strong cash positions and improving fundamentals & MBS and ABS allocations |
Security Selection | Active and selective |
Liquidity | Continue to focus on strong liquidity—which tends to be undervalued in uncertain markets |
Volatility | Target between 1% and 2% annualized standard deviation |
On behalf of the entire staff at Anfield Capital Management, we thank you for your continued support.

(a) | Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund commenced investment operations on June 28, 2013. |
(b) | The BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index is designed to track the performance of a synthetic asset paying LIBOR to a stated maturity. The index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day’s fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following business day (priced at a yield equal to the current day fixing rate) and rolled into a new instrument. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark. Index returns are gross of any fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2019 |
1. | ORGANIZATION |
The Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”), is a series of shares of beneficial interest of the Two Roads Shared Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 8, 2012, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on June 28, 2013. The investment objective is to seek current income.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, and Class I shares. Class A shares are offered at net asset value (“NAV”) plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Investors that purchase $1,000,000 or more of the Fund’s Class A shares will pay a 1.00% sales charge on the purchase. Class C shares of the Fund are sold at NAV without an initial sales charge. Class I shares of the Fund are sold at NAV without an initial sales charge and are not subject to 12b-1 distribution fees, but have a higher minimum initial investment than Class A and Class C shares. Each share class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standards Update ASU 2013-08.
Security Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale such securities shall be valued at the mean between the last 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”) 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. Futures and future options are valued at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Short-term debt obligations, excluding U.S. Treasury Bills, having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.
The Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to a fair value team composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) Advisor. The team may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board has also engaged a third party valuation firm to attend, as needed, valuation meetings held by the Trust, review minutes of such meetings and report to the Board on a quarterly basis. The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2019 |
Futures Contracts – The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates, foreign currencies, or commodities. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund’s agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. If the Fund was unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Valuation of Fund of Fund –The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). 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 according to the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.
Fair Valuation Process – The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each group within the fair value team. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Advisor, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the Advisor to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the Advisor based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the Advisor is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value team shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
Open-ended funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. 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 Fund will not change.

Exchange Traded Fund – The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Fund may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all 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 Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 –Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2019, for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on trade date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Due from broker balance is comprised of margin balance held at the broker.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders –Dividends from net investment income are declared and distributed monthly. Distributable net realized capital gains are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on ex dividend date and determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Federal Income Taxes– It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been recorded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2019 |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended October 31, 2016 to October 31, 2018, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s October 31, 2019 year end tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments; however the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a 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.
Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
3. | PRINCIPLE INVESTMENT RISKS |
The Fund’s investments in securities, financial instruments and derivatives expose it to various risks, certain of which are discussed in these Notes to Financial Statements. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information for a full listing of risks associated with the Fund’s investments which include, but are not limited to: active trading risk, common stock risk, credit risk, cybersecurity risk, emerging markets risks, futures contract risk, hedging transactions risk, high yield risk, index risk, issuer-specific risk, investment companies and exchange-traded funds risks, leveraging risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market risk, market events risk, MLP risk, prepayment and extension risk, regulatory risk, securities lending risk, short sales risk, swap risk, valuation risk and variable or floating rate securities.
Bank Loan Risk –The Fund’s investments in secured and unsecured participations in bank loans and assignments of such loans may create substantial risk. In making investments in such loans, which are made by banks or other financial intermediaries to borrowers, the Fund will depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of principal and interest.
Currency Risk –The risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies.
Convertible Securities Risk – The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Since it derives a portion of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock.
Counterparty Credit Risk –The stability and liquidity of many derivative transactions depends in large part on the creditworthiness of the parties to the transactions. If a counterparty to such a transaction defaults, exercising contractual rights may involve delays or costs for the Fund. Furthermore, there is a risk that a counterparty could become the subject of insolvency proceedings, and that the recovery of securities and other assets from such counterparty will be delayed or be of a value less than the value of the securities or assets originally entrusted to such counterparty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2019 |
Derivatives Risk – The derivative instruments in which the Fund may invest, including futures, options, credit default swaps, total return swaps, repurchase agreements and other similar instruments, may be more volatile than other instruments. The risks associated with investments in derivatives also include leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the market value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, if a derivative is being used for hedging purposes there can be no assurance given that each derivative position will achieve a perfect correlation with the security or currency against which it is being hedged, or that a particular derivative position will be available when sought by the portfolio manager.
Fixed Income Risk –When the Fund invests in fixed income securities or derivatives, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities or derivatives owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities or durations will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.
Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk –Foreign (non-U.S.) securities present greater investment risks than investing in the securities of U.S. issuers and may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than the securities of U.S. companies, due to less information about foreign (non-U.S.) companies in the form of reports and ratings than about U.S. issuers; different accounting, auditing and financial reporting requirements; smaller markets; nationalization; expropriation or confiscatory taxation; currency blockage; or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign (non-U.S.) securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers.
Foreign securities include direct investments in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities traded primarily outside of the United States and dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. Foreign securities also include indirect investments such as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). ADRs are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts representing shares of foreign-based corporations. ADRs are receipts that are traded in the United States and entitle the holder to all dividend and capital gain distributions that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares. EDRs and GDRs are receipts that often trade on foreign exchanges. They represent ownership in an underlying foreign or U.S. security and generally are denominated in a foreign currency. Foreign government obligations may include debt obligations of supranational entities, including international organizations (such as The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, also known as the World Bank) and international banking institutions and related government agencies.
LIBOR Risk – The Fund may invest in securities and other instruments whose interest payments are determined by references to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). According to various reports, certain financial institutions, commencing as early as 2005 and throughout the global financial crisis, routinely made artificially low submissions in the LIBOR setting process, which have subsequently resulted in investigations and fines. These developments may have adversely affected the interest rates on securities whose interest payments were determined by reference to LIBOR. Any future similar developments could, in turn, reduce the value of such securities owned by the Fund. In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority warned that LIBOR may cease to be available or appropriate for use by 2021. The unavailability of LIBOR presents risks to the Fund, including the risk that any pricing or adjustments to the Fund’s investments resulting from a substitute reference rate may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and/or NAV. It remains uncertain how such changes would be implemented and the effects such changes would have on the Fund, including any negative effects on the Fund’s liquidity and valuation of the Fund’s investments, issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests and financial markets generally.
Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk –The risk of investing in mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, including prepayment risk, extension risk, interest rate risk, market risk and management risk. Mortgage-backed securities include caps and floors, inverse floaters, mortgage dollar rolls, private mortgage pass-through securities, resets and stripped mortgage securities.
28
Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2019 |
U.S. Government Securities Risk –Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. In addition, the value of U.S. Government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the U.S. Government.
Volatility Risk – The Fund may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time.
4. | INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from the sale of securities, other than short-term securities, for the year ended October 31, 2019, amounted to $209,498,731 and $104,837,284, respectively.
5. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES |
Advisory Fees – Anfield Capital Management, LLC serves as the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”). Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Fund, the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Advisor, the Fund pays the Advisor an investment advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets totaling $2,322,542 for the year ended October 31, 2019.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund (The “Waiver Agreement”), until at least March 1, 2020, to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (excluding any front-end or contingent deferred loads; brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses; borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); taxes; and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 1.50%, 2.25%, and 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C, and Class I shares, respectively; subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years on a rolling three year basis (within the three years after the date such fees have been waived or reimbursed) if such recoupment can be achieved within the foregoing expense limits as well as any expense limitation that was in effect at the time the reimbursement was made. The expense limits in effect prior to their expiration on March 1, 2018 were 1.20%, 1.95% and 0.95% for Class A, Class C and Class I shares. If the Advisor waives any fee or reimburses any expense pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and the Portfolios’ Operating Expenses are subsequently less than 1.50%, 2.25%, and 1.25% or 1.20%, 1.95% and 0.95% for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively, prior to March 1, 2018 of average daily net assets, the Advisor will be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund for such waived fees or reimbursed expenses provided that such reimbursement does not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time of the waiver. If the Fund’s Total Operating Expenses subsequently exceed 1.50%, 2.25%, and 1.25% or 1.20%, 1.95% and 0.95% for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively, prior to March 1, 2018 per annum of the average daily net assets the reimbursements shall be suspended. No recoupment amount will be paid to the Advisor in any fiscal quarter unless the Board has determined in advance that a recoupment is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Advisor did not waive any fees or expenses. The Advisor can recoup waived and reimbursed expenses of $355,837 until October 31, 2020 and $128,740 until October 31, 2021.
The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that a monthly service and/or distribution fee is calculated by the Fund at an annual rate of 0.25% and 1.00% of its average daily net assets for Class A and Class C, respectively, and is paid to Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor” and “NLD”), an affiliate of GFS, to provide compensation for ongoing shareholder servicing and distribution-related activities or services and/or maintenance of the Fund’s shareholder accounts not otherwise required to be provided by the Advisor.
The Distributor acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares. During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Distributor received $11,616 and $0 in underwriting commissions for sales of Class A and Class C shares, respectively, of which $1,665 and $0 was retained by the principal underwriter for Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2019 |
Class C shares and Class I shares of the Fund are not subject to an initial sales charge.
In addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Fund as follows:
Gemini Fund Services, LLC (“GFS”) – an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with GFS, the Fund pays GFS customary fees for providing administration, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the Fund. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of GFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving in such capacities.
Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”) – an affiliate of GFS and the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives customary fees from the Fund.
BluGiant, LLC (“BluGiant”) – BluGiant, an affiliate of GFS and the Distributor, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Fund on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, BluGiant receives customary fees from GFS under the administrative servicing agreement.
On February 1, 2019, NorthStar Financial Services Group, LLC, the parent company of GFS and its affiliated companies including NLD, NLCS and Blu Giant (collectively, the “Gemini Companies”), sold its interest in the Gemini Companies to a third party private equity firm that contemporaneously acquired Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (an independent mutual fund administration firm) and its affiliates (collectively, the “Ultimus Companies”). As a result of these separate transactions, the Gemini Companies and the Ultimus Companies are now indirectly owned through a common parent entity, The Ultimus Group, LLC.
6. | DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL |
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities represents cost for financial reporting purposes. As of October 31, 2019, aggregate cost for federal tax purposes is $319,086,311 and differs from market value by net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) consisted of:
Gross unrealized appreciation: | $ | 5,856,724 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation: | (14,784,687 | ) | ||
Net unrealized depreciation: | $ | (8,927,963 | ) | |
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 was as follows:
Fiscal Year Ended | Fiscal Year Ended | |||||||
October 31, 2019 | October 31, 2018 | |||||||
Ordinary Income | $ | 9,418,535 | $ | 4,681,912 | ||||
Long-Term Capital Gain | — | — | ||||||
Return of Capital | 98,706 | — | ||||||
$ | 9,517,241 | $ | 4,681,912 | |||||
As of October 31, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings/ (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed | Undistributed | Post October Loss | Capital Loss | Other | Unrealized | Total | ||||||||||||||||||||
Ordinary | Long-Term | and | Carry | Book/Tax | Appreciation/ | Accumulated | ||||||||||||||||||||

$ | — | $ | — | $ | — | $ | (526,905 | ) | $ | — | $ | (8,927,963 | ) | $ | (9,454,868 | ) |
The difference between book basis and tax basis accumulated net realized loss, and unrealized appreciation from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market on open futures and adjustments to perpetual bonds.

7. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.
In August 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, which changed certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removed the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the policy for the timing of transfers between levels. For investment companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. These amendments have been adopted with these financial statements.
8. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Two Roads Shared Trust
and the Shareholders of Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund (the Fund) as of October 31, 2019, the related statement 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, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 Fund in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit 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 audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) |
October 31, 2019 |
Approval of Advisory Agreement – Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund
At a meeting held on March 6 and 7, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Two Roads Shared Trust (the “Trust”), including all of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act), which independent Trustees constitute all of the Trustees, considered the approval of an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) Anfield Capital Management, LLC (“Anfield” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust, each on behalf of the Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust.
In considering the Advisory Agreement with respect to Anfield, the Board took into account information received, as well as discussions with Anfield, at the November 2018 quarterly meeting and at a special meeting on February 6, 2019, as well as information received at a special meeting held on December 21, 2018. In connection with the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board also took into account the information and factors that the Board had considered in connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, as well as in approval of a new investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement with Regents Park Funds, LLC (“Regents Park”), an affiliate of Anfield, and Anfield (the “New Agreements”), respectively, at its June 2018 meeting (the “Prior Meeting”). The Board additionally considered its review of the materials submitted by Anfield at the Meeting related to the consideration of the sub-advisory agreement between the Trust and Anfield on behalf of the Anfield Diversified Alternatives ETF, another fund in the Trust that is sub-advised by Anfield (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”).
In connection with the Board’s consideration of the Agreement, the Board had received written materials which included information regarding: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser; (ii) a description of the Adviser’s investment management personnel; (iii) an overview of the Adviser’s respective operations and financial condition; (iv) a description of the Adviser’s brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements); (v) a comparison of the Fund’s advisory fee and overall expenses with those of comparable mutual funds; (vi) the level of profitability from the Adviser’s fund-related operations; (vii) the Adviser’s respective compliance policies and procedures, including policies and procedures for personal securities transactions, business continuity and information security; and (viii) information regarding the performance record of the Fund as compared to other funds with similar investment strategies.
Throughout the process, including at the meeting, the Board had numerous opportunities to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Adviser. During the Meeting, the Board was advised by, and met in executive session with, the Board’s independent legal counsel, and received a memorandum from such independent counsel regarding its responsibilities under applicable law.
Matters considered by the Board in connection with its approval of the Agreement included, among others, the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Anfield under the Advisory Agreement, the Board took into account information received at the November 2018 quarterly meeting and at special meetings on December 21, 2019 and February 6, 2019. The Board also took into account the materials submitted in connection with the Sub-Advisory Agreement at this Meeting in addition to the materials previously submitted by Anfield with respect to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement at the Prior Meeting. The Board considered the materials submitted by Anfield , including an overview of the Fund’s investment strategies, including a description of the manner in which investment decisions were made and executed; risk management processes and liquidity management; information relating to Anfield’s financial condition; an overview of the personnel that perform services for the Fund and their background and experience, including the portfolio management team with respect to the Fund; and the Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures, inclusive of its business continuity policy and cybersecurity policy and 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).
The Board considered Anfield’s current level of staffing and the firm’s overall resources, as well as information received relating to Anfield’s internal compensation program. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and performance of Anfield’s investment and compliance personnel who provide services to the Fund. The Board also considered, among other things, Anfield’s compliance program and any disciplinary history and noted Anfield’s risk assessment and monitoring processes. The Board considered Anfield’s policies and procedures in the areas of business continuity and with respect to information systems security and the Trust’s CCO’s review and evaluation of the same, which found them to be satisfactory. With respect to Anfield, the Board took into account the recent changes and enhancements made at Anfield with respect to its compliance program and operational staff. The Board also reviewed Anfield’s regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Trust’s CCO and his staff conducted regular, periodic compliance reviews with Anfield presented reports to the Board regarding the same, which included evaluating the regulatory compliance systems and procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. After discussion and taking into account the report provided by the CCO, the Board concluded that Anfield had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures for performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement.
Performance. With respect to the Fund, the Board considered that at the Prior Meeting it had considered the performance of the Fund as compared to the performance of each of the Funds as compared to that of a group of funds that employ a similar investment strategy, as provided by Broadridge, an independent third-party data provider (the “Peer Group”) for the one-year and three-year period and since inception, as well as compared to the other funds in the Fund’s Morningstar category (Nontraditional Bond) and to the Fund’s selected benchmark indices. The Board considered that for both the one-year and three-year periods ended April 30, 2018, the Fund outperformed the median of the Peer Group and its primary benchmark index, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index. The Board took into account the Fund’s outperformance in terms of risk-adjusted return, the Fund’s generally lower volatility relative to the Peer Group, and Anfield’s consistent approach to risk management. The Board also took into account more recent performance returns, finding that for the one-year period ended February 28, 2019 the Fund was underperforming its primary benchmark, but was ranked within the top quintile of its Morningstar category based on performance for the period and was currently rated four stars by Morningstar. The Board concluded that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory and that Anfield was obtaining an acceptable level of investment returns for shareholders.
Fees and Expenses. With respect to the Fund, the Board noted that it had considered information at the Prior Meeting that the Adviser’s contractual advisory fee was slightly higher than the median of the Peer Group, but that it was lower than the Peer Group average and was not the highest among the funds within the Peer Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee had not changed since the Prior Meeting, nor had the Fund’s investment strategy or Morningstar categorization. The Board also noted that the Fund’s net total expenses after taking into account the Fund’s current expense limitation agreement was above the median of the Peer Group. The Board noted that the Adviser had agreed to reimburse expenses to limit net annual operating expenses to 1.50%, 2.25% and 1.25% of the average net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively (exclusive of (i) any front-end or contingent deferred loads; (ii) brokerage fees and commissions; (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses; (iv) borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); (v) taxes; and (vi) extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses).
The Board also received information regarding the nature and scope (including their significance to the Adviser and its affiliates) of any material relationships with respect to the Adviser and received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest the Adviser might have in connection with the Advisory Agreement with respect the Fund.

The Board concluded that the contractual advisory fee with respect to the Fund was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board considered the profitability of Anfield and whether these profits are excessive in light of the services provided to the Fund. With respect to the Fund, the Board noted that in its review during the Prior Meeting, it had considered Anfield’s profits from its relationship with the Fund, and had concluded that Anfield’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Anfield would realize economies of scale with respect to its advisory services provided to the Fund. The Board considered the profitability analysis with respect to the Fund from the Prior Meeting and noted that expenses of managing the Fund as a percentage of assets under management were expected to decrease as the Fund’s assets continue to grow. The Board noted that at current asset levels, economies of scale were not a relevant consideration and it would revisit whether economies of scale exist in the future once the Fund had achieved sufficient size.
Other Benefits. The Board also considered the character and amount of other direct and incidental benefits to be received by Anfield from its association with the Fund. The Board noted that Anfield did not believe they would receive any direct, indirect or ancillary material “fall-out” benefits from its relationship with their the Fund, although the Board noted that certain reputational benefits may result from their relationships with the Fund. The Board considered these benefits would be expected and appeared not to be unreasonable.
Conclusion. The Board, having requested and received such information from Anfield as it believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, and having been advised by independent counsel that the Board had appropriately considered and weighed all relevant factors, determined that approval of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In considering the Advisory Agreement renewal, the Board did not identify any one factor as all important, and each Independent Trustee may have considered different factors as more important.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited) |
October 31, 2019 |
As a shareholder of Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases of Class A shares; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number 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” line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). 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.
