ITEM 1. REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
Dear Shareholder,
Redwood Managed Volatility Fund (RWDIX): +3.43%*
* | Class I – From November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2021 Source: Ultimus Fund Solutions. |
During the Redwood Managed Volatility Fund’s (the “Fund”) fiscal year, risk markets and the economy benefitted from recovery from the global spread of Covid-19 . The Federal Reserve maintained highly accommodative monetary policy of low interest rates and asset purchases which supported corporate credits including high yield bonds.
The Fund returned +3.43% (Source: Ultimus). The Fund’s performance during the period was mainly driven by yield received from corporate bonds and credit spreads modestly tightening. The Fund derived most of its total return from derivative products, such as total-return swaps and CDX, tied to U.S. corporate high -yield bond exposure. The Fund outperformed in comparison to its benchmark, the BoFA Merrill Lynch 3-5 Year Treasury Index which returned -1.52% (Source: Ultimus) as treasuries experienced a modest sell off in response to stronger economic data.
Capital markets are infinitely complex. Every day, new information becomes available that changes the risk and return dynamic of any investment. In our view, capital markets are only a tool to capture opportunities in favorable risk -return dynamic, wherever they exist to work towards an investor’s long-term goal or objective. We do not attempt to forecast or suggest what may lie ahead. Instead, we utilize a disciplined, quantitative approach, aiming to minimize the subjectivity of investing.

Dear Shareholder,
Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund (RWMIX): +8.30%*
* | Class I – From November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2021. Source: Ultimus Fund Solutions. |
During the Redwood Managed Volatility Fund’s (the “Fund”) fiscal year risk markets and the economy benefitted from recovery from the global spread of Covid -19. The Federal Reserve maintained highly accommodative monetary policy of low interest rates and asset purchases which supported the broader bond market.
The Fund returned +8.30% (Source: Ultimus). The Fund’s performance during the period was mainly driven by two factors. First, due to low absolute interest rates, investors sought premium yields such as available in high yield municipal bonds. Second, a fear of increasing income tax rates spurred incremental demand for federal tax free income bonds. The Fund outperformed in comparison to its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond Index which returned 2.64% (Source: Ultimus) as investment - grade municipal bonds underperformed their high-yield municipal bond counterparts as investors sought premium yields.

Dear Shareholder,
Redwood AlphaFactor® Tactical International Fund (RWIIX): 25.54%*
* | Class I – From November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2021. Source: Bloomberg. |
During the Redwood AlphaFactor® Tactical International Fund’s (the “Fund”) fiscal year, the global economy began to stabilize as recovery from the spread of Covid-19 became more widespread. International equities, represented by the MSCI All Country World ex-US Index** (MSCI ACWI ex-US), recovered from their steep decline experienced in early 2020.
The Fund posted gains of 25.54% (Source: Ultimus). During the entire period, the Fund was invested in a portfolio of international stock exposure, and international equity derivatives. While risk-on during the entire period, the Fund derived most of its total return from derivative products, namely equity swaps reflecting international long equity exposure. The fund underperformed its benchmark, the Redwood AlphaFactor® Tactical International Index (RWTINT), which returned 32.74% (Source: Bloomberg) during the same period. The Fund will continue to implement its disciplined quantitative stock selection and risk management process.

Dear Shareholder,
Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (“SMarT”) Fund (RWSIX): 36.79%*
* | Class I – From November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2021. Source: Ultimus Fund Solutions. |
During the Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (“SMarT”) Fund’s (the “Fund”) fiscal year, the global economy began to stabilize as recovery from the spread of Covid-19 became more widespread. The US economy led the global recovery with US equities achieving multiple new highs.
The Fund posted gains of 36.79% (Source: Ultimus), and outperformed its benchmark, 40% S&P 500/60% Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Index which returned 15.36% (Source: Ultimus). During the entire period, the Fund was invested in a combination of exposures including U.S. equity, convertible bond, preferred stock, high yield corporate bond, and international stock. The Fund was able to outperform its benchmark given the Fund’s higher equity exposure (through stock positions and its convertible bonds) which rallied strongly versus investment grade fixed income which experienced flat to negative performance. The Fund will continue to implement its disciplined quantitative security selection and risk management process.

1. | ORGANIZATION |
Redwood Managed Volatility Fund (the “Managed Volatility Fund”), Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund (the “Municipal Income Fund”), Redwood AlphaFactor® Tactical International Fund (the “Tactical International Fund”), Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (“SMarT”) Fund (the “SMarT Fund”), each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds” are each 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 registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as diversified, open-end management investment companies. The Managed Volatility Fund commenced investment operations on December 19, 2013. The Municipal Income Fund commenced operations on March 9, 2017. The Tactical International Fund, and SMarT Fund commenced operations on November 2, 2017. The Managed Volatility Fund’s investment objective is to seek a combination of total return and prudent management of portfolio downside volatility and downside loss. The Municipal Income Fund seeks to generate tax-efficient income, while focusing on managing downside risk. The Tactical International Fund seeks to generate long- term total return with capital preservation as a secondary objective. The SMarT Fund seeks to generate capital appreciation while focusing on managing downside risk.
The Managed Volatility Fund offers Class I, Class N and Class Y shares. The Municipal Income Fund, Tactical International Fund, and SMarT Fund each offer Class I and Class N shares. All classes are sold at NAV. Each share class of a Fund represents an interest in the same assets of that Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their fees 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. Each 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 of the Fund.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds 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 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”.
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. Options contracts listed on a securities exchange or board of trade (not including Index Options contracts) for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the valuation date. Index Options listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the valuation date. Total return swaps on exchange-listed securities shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation on each underlying exchange-listed security. Exchange listed swaps shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as “odd lots” and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as “round lots”. Each Fund may fair value a particular bond if the adviser does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Fund’s holding. Short-term debt obligations, excluding U.S. Treasury Bills, having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.
Valuation of Underlying Funds – The Funds 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 to the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.
Redwood Funds |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2021 |
Open -end 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 premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.
The Funds 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 committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor. The committee 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, as needed, attend valuation meetings held by the Trust, review minutes of such meetings and report to the Board on a quarterly basis. The Board reviews and considers the determinations reached by the fair value committee in ratifying the fair value committee’s application of the fair valuation methodologies employed.
Fair Valuation Process – The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each group within the fair value committee. 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; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued 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 committee shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
The Funds utilize 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 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 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 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.
Redwood Funds |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2021 |
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, 2021 for the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Swap Agreements – The Funds are subject to equity price risk and/or interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their respective investment objectives. The Funds may enter into various swap transactions for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, foreign exchange (currency) or credit risk. These would be two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments. The average month end notional value of the total return swaps that the Managed Volatility Fund, Tactical International Fund and SMarT Fund invested in during the year ended October 31, 2021 was $298,443,259, $216,466,655 and $39,287,819, respectively.
Credit Default Swaps – Credit default swaps (“CDS”) are typically two -party (bilateral) financial contracts that transfer credit exposure between the two parties. One party to a CDS (referred to as the credit protection “buyer”) receives credit protection or sheds credit risk, whereas the other party to a CDS (referred to as the credit protection “seller”) is selling credit protection or taking on credit risk. The seller typically receives pre-determined periodic payments from the other party. These payments are in consideration for agreeing to make compensating specific payments to the buyer should a negative credit event occur, such as (1) bankruptcy or (2) failure to pay interest or principal on a reference debt instrument, with respect to a specified issuer or one of the reference issuers in a CDS portfolio. In general, CDS may be used by the Funds to obtain credit risk exposure similar to that of a direct investment in high yield bonds. Credit default swaps involve risks because they are difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial difficulty). The Fund bears the loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap counterparty. The maximum risk of loss for sell protection on a credit default swap is the notional value of the total underlying amount of the swap.
The amounts to be exchanged or “swapped” between parties are calculated with respect to the notional amount. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. The maximum pay-outs for these contracts are limited to the notional amount of each swap. CDS may involve greater risks than if the Funds had invested in the referenced obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The average month end notional value of the credit default swaps that the Managed Volatility Fund invested in during the year ended October 31, 2021 was $71,615,385.

Redwood Funds |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2021 |
As a result of the decreases in market value of the Fund’s assets pledged at derivative counterparties, the Fund has been required to post additional collateral relating to its margin requirements. The Fund has posted all required collateral; however, the Fund’s ability to meet future margin calls may be impacted by continued unfavorable market conditions.
Option Transactions – The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against risk. When a Fund writes put and call options, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the statement of assets and liability as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Funds have no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retain the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in the Funds’ portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Funds to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Funds upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Funds. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Funds, the benefits realized by the Funds as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.
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.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared and distributed quarterly for the Managed Volatility Fund, and monthly for the Municipal Income Fund, Tactical International Fund and SMarT Fund. 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 each 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 their taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been recorded.
The Funds recognize 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 Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for the open tax years ended October 31, 2018 to October 31, 2020 for the Managed Volatility Fund and Municipal Income Fund, and the open tax year ended October 31, 2019 to October 31, 2020 for the Tactical International Fund and SMarT Fund or positions expected to be taken in the Funds’ October 31, 2021 year-end tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably expected that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax

benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
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 Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS
The cost of purchases and proceeds from the sale of securities, other than short-term investments, for the year ended October 31, 2021 amounted to the following:

The Funds’ investments in securities, financial instruments and derivatives expose them to various risks, certain of which are discussed below. Each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”) include a more full listing of risks associated with each Fund’s investments. These risks include, but are not limited to:
Managed Volatility Fund: active trading risk, asset allocation risk, bank loan risk, borrowing risk, cash positions risk, counterparty risk, credit default swaps risk, credit risk, cybersecurity risk, derivatives risk, fixed income risk, gap risk, high-yield fixed income securities (“junk bonds”) risk, LIBOR risk, leveraging risk, liquidity risk, managed volatility strategy risk, management risk, market events risk, market risk, model risk, money market instrument risk, portfolio turnover risk, rules-based strategy risk, swap risk, swaptions risk, total return swaps risk, U.S. government securities risk, valuation risk and volatility risk.

securities risk, quantitative investing risk, real estate investment trusts risk, swap risk, U.S. government securities risk, underlying funds risk, valuation risk, and volatility risk.
Cash Positions Risk – The Funds may hold a significant position in cash and/or cash equivalent securities. When the Funds’ investment in cash or cash equivalent securities increases, the Funds may not participate in market advances or declines to the same extent that it would if the Funds were more fully invested. With respect to the Municipal Income Fund, the Fund or an underlying fund in which it invests may sell securities that lose their tax-exempt statuses at inopportune times, which may cause tax consequences or a decrease in the Fund’s value.
Derivatives Risk – The Funds may invest in derivative instruments. The derivative instruments held by the Funds may be more volatile than other instruments and may be subject to unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited. The risks associated with investments in derivatives also include leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuations. Certain derivatives require a Fund to make margin payments, a form of security deposit intended to protect against nonperformance of the derivative contract. A Fund may have to post additional margin if the value of the derivative position changes in a manner adverse to the Fund. Changes in the market value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and a 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.
Equity Risk – Tactical International Fund, and SMarT Fund are subject to equity risk. Equity securities are susceptible to general market fluctuations volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. Factors that may influence the price of equity securities include developments affecting a specific company or industry, or changing economic, political or market conditions.
Fixed Income Risk – The Managed Volatility Fund, Municipal Income Fund and SMarT Fund are subject to fixed income securities risk. When a 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 a Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. currently remain near historic lows. 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 a Fund, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. For example, a general rise in interest rates may cause investors to move out of fixed income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities and could also result in increased redemptions for a Fund.
Index Tracking Error Risk – The International Fund is subject to index tracking error risk. As with all index funds, the performance of a Fund and its Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, the Fund may not be fully invested in securities of the Index at all times, may deviate from the relative weightings of the Index, or may hold securities not included in the Index. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.
Investment Companies and ETFs Risk – When a Fund invests in other investment companies, including ETFs, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the other investment company’s or ETF’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an investment company or ETF generally reflects the risk of owning the underlying investments held by the investment company or ETF. A Fund will also incur brokerage costs when it purchases and sells ETFs.
Market Risk – Overall market risk may affect the value of individual instruments in which a Fund invests. A Fund is subject to the risk that the securities markets will move down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based on overall economic
Redwood Funds |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2021 |
conditions and other factors, which may negatively affect the Fund’s performance. Factors such as domestic and foreign (non - U.S.) economic growth and market conditions, real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rate levels, lack of liquidity in the bond or other markets, volatility in the securities markets, adverse investor sentiment affect the securities markets and political events affect the securities markets. Securities markets also may experience long periods of decline in value. When the value of a Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.
Local, state, regional, national or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments and could result in decreases to the Fund’s net asset value. Political, geopolitical, natural and other events, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, government shutdowns, market closures, natural and environmental disasters, epidemics, pandemics and other public health crises and related events and governments’ reactions to such events have led, and in the future may lead, to economic uncertainty, decreased economic activity, increased market volatility and other disruptive effects on U.S. and global economies and markets. Such events may have significant adverse direct or indirect effects on a Fund and its investments. For example, a widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and affect Fund performance. A health crisis may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks. In addition, the increasing interconnectedness of markets around the world may result in many markets being affected by events or conditions in a single country or region or events affecting a single or small number of issuers.
COVID-19 has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, business and school closings, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.
Municipal Bond Risk – The underlying funds in which the Municipal Income Fund may invest may be affected significantly by the economic, regulatory or political developments affecting the ability of issuers of debt securities whose interest is, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer at the time of issuance, exempt from federal income tax to pay interest or repay principal. For example, COVID- 19 has significantly stressed the financial resources of many municipal issuers, which may impair a municipal issuer’s ability to meet its financial obligations when due and could adversely impact the value of its bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the Fund.
Swap Risk – The Managed Volatility Fund, Municipal Income, SMarT Fund, and Tactical International Fund are each subject to swap risk. Swap agreements are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its obligation to pay the Fund and the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its obligations to pay the counterparty to the swap. In addition, there is the risk that a swap may be terminated by a Fund or the counterparty in accordance with its terms. If a swap were to terminate, a Fund may be unable to implement its investment strategies and the Fund may not be able to seek to achieve its investment objective. See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of swaps and credit default swaps.
Credit Default Swaps Risk – A credit default swap enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a credit event with respect to an issuer. Credit default swaps involve risks because they are difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial difficulty). A Fund bears the loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty.
Taxability Risk – There is no guarantee that all of the Municipal Income Fund’s income will remain exempt from federal or state or local income taxes. The Fund or an underlying fund in which it invests may sell securities that lose their tax-exempt statuses at inopportune times, which may cause tax consequences or a decrease in the Fund’s value. In order to pay tax-exempt interest, tax- exempt securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable. If the Fund fails to meet the requirements
Redwood Funds |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
October 31, 2021 |
necessary to pay out exempt-interest dividends to its shareholders, the income distributions resulting from all of its investments, including its municipal securities, may be subject to federal income tax when received by shareholders.
Total Return Swaps Risk – A total return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of the assets underlying the contract, which may include a specified security, basket of securities, or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from other underlying assets. Total return swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. Total return swap agreements may effectively add leverage to the Fund’s portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The primary risks associated with total returns swaps are credit risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and market risk (if there is no liquid market for the agreement or unfavorable changes occur to the underlying asset).
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 ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES |
Advisory Fees – Redwood Investment Management, LLC serves as the Funds’ Investment Advisor (the “Advisor”) . Pursuant to investment advisory agreements with the Funds, the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Funds and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others.

9. | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020 -04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (’‘ASU 2020-04’’). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank- offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any of applying this ASU.
In October 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new regulations governing the use of derivative by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a Fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Funds will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19,2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Funds. When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how a Fund uses derivatives, adversely affect the Fund’s performance and increase costs related to the Funds’ use of derivatives.

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. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits 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 Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. | |
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 October 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. | |
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the Two Roads Shared Trust since 2016. | |

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited) |
October 31, 2021 |
As a shareholder of the Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (such as front-end loads and redemption fees) and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1 fees) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the period of time beginning May 1, 2021 and held through October 31, 2021.
Actual Expenses: The “Actual Expenses” column 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 Examples for Comparison Purposes: The “Hypothetical” column in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 front-end 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.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the 1940 Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Funds’ investment strategy and the liquidity of their portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; their short and long-term cash flow projections; and their cash holdings and access to other funding sources.
During the fiscal period ended October 31, 2021, the Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the “Committee”) reviewed the Funds’ investments and determined that the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that (i) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.
