How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
During the Redwood AlphaFactor® Tactical International Fund’s (the “Fund”) During the fiscal year, international equity markets experienced a significant upswing as Central Banks around the world initiated rate cuts materialized, boosting investor confidence and propelling global stock indices to new highs. This resurgence was supported by favorable economic indicators and policy shifts across various regions. However, concerns about potential recessions and geopolitical tensions, such as trade disputes and regional conflicts, introduced caution among investors, leading to increased market volatility. Despite these challenges, the overall trend remained positive, reflecting a renewed appetite for risk in the international equity landscape.
The Fund posted a gain of 16.80% (Source: Ultimus), underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World ex-US Index** (MSCI ACWI ex-US), which returned 24.33% (Source: Ultimus). Following our quantitative risk-managed process, the broad rally in international equities resulted in the Fund remaining fully exposed to international equities for the entire period. An additional positive contribution to Fund’s total return came from adding exposure to an affiliated, short duration, private debt fund, the Redwood Real Estate Income Fund (ticker: CREMX). The Fund will continue to implement its disciplined quantitative stock selection and risk management process.
Capital markets are infinitely complex. Every day, new information becomes available that changes the risk and return dynamic of any investment. We do not attempt to forecast or suggest what may lie ahead. Instead, we utilize a quantitative approach, aiming to minimize the subjectivity of investing.

Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund
Annual Shareholder Report - October 31, 2024

You can find additional information about the Fund at www.redwoodmutualfunds.com. You can also request this information by contacting us at 855-733-3863.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
During the Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) fiscal year, bond markets faced a complex environment as the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cuts materialized, directly impacting the demand for fixed-income securities. U.S. Treasury fell overall driven by resilient economic data and tempered expectations for further cuts. Both investment-grade and high-yield municipal bonds performed strongly.
The Fund's Class I shares returned 9.55% (Source: Ultimus). Utilizing our quantitative risk-managed process, the Fund began the period in a defensive position. This approach caused the Fund to miss a significant rally in high-yield municipal bonds early in the period. However, the Fund subsequently shifted back into a risk position, gaining exposure to high-yield municipal bonds, which accounted for the majority of its total return. Another notable contributor to the Fund’s performance was the addition of the Redwood Real Estate Income Fund (ticker: CREMX), an affiliated short-duration private debt fund. The Fund performed in line with its benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, which returned 9.70% (Source: Ultimus). Although the Fund was not fully exposed to high-yield municipal bonds for the entire period, their outperformance relative to investment-grade municipal bonds significantly supported the Fund’s overall return.
Capital markets are infinitely complex. Every day, new information becomes available that changes the risk and return dynamic of any investment. We do not attempt to forecast or suggest what may lie ahead. Instead, we utilize a quantitative approach, aiming to minimize the subjectivity of investing.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
During the Redwood Managed Volatility Fund’s (the “Fund”) fiscal year, bond markets faced a complex environment as the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cuts materialized, directly impacting the demand for fixed-income securities. U.S. Treasury fell overall driven by resilient economic data and tempered expectations for further cuts. Corporate bonds performed strongly, with investment-grade spreads tightening to 36 basis points and high-yield spreads narrowing to their lowest point since 2021.
The Fund's Class I shares, Class N shares and Class Y shares returned 11.94%, 11.57% and 12.05%, respectively (Source: Ultimus). Following our quantitative risk-managed process, the Fund followed the trend of high-yield corporates higher, and as a result remained in risk assets for the entire duration. This resulted in the Fund being exposed to risk assets for the entirety of the period. The Fund derived its total return primarily from high-yield corporate bond mutual funds as well as from derivative products, such as CDX, tied to U.S. corporate high-yield bond exposure. A positive contribution to Fund’s total return came from adding exposure to an affiliated, short duration, private debt fund, the Redwood Real Estate Income Fund (ticker: CREMX). These exposures resulted in the fund outperforming in comparison to its benchmark, the BofA 3-5 Year Treasury Index which returned 6.84% (Source: Ultimus).
Capital markets are infinitely complex. Every day, new information becomes available that changes the risk and return dynamic of any investment. 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.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
During the Redwood Managed Volatility Fund’s (the “Fund”) fiscal year, bond markets faced a complex environment as the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cuts materialized, directly impacting the demand for fixed-income securities. U.S. Treasury fell overall driven by resilient economic data and tempered expectations for further cuts. Corporate bonds performed strongly, with investment-grade spreads tightening to 36 basis points and high-yield spreads narrowing to their lowest point since 2021.
The Fund's Class I shares, Class N shares and Class Y shares returned 11.94%, 11.57% and 12.05%, respectively (Source: Ultimus). Following our quantitative risk-managed process, the Fund followed the trend of high-yield corporates higher, and as a result remained in risk assets for the entire duration. This resulted in the Fund being exposed to risk assets for the entirety of the period. The Fund derived its total return primarily from high-yield corporate bond mutual funds as well as from derivative products, such as CDX, tied to U.S. corporate high-yield bond exposure. A positive contribution to Fund’s total return came from adding exposure to an affiliated, short duration, private debt fund, the Redwood Real Estate Income Fund (ticker: CREMX). These exposures resulted in the fund outperforming in comparison to its benchmark, the BofA 3-5 Year Treasury Index which returned 6.84% (Source: Ultimus).
Capital markets are infinitely complex. Every day, new information becomes available that changes the risk and return dynamic of any investment. 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.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
During the Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (“SMarT”) Fund’s (the “Fund”) fiscal year, risk markets extended their upward trajectory as the long-anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts materialized, reigniting investor risk appetite and driving equity markets to all-time highs. Although favorable economic indicators and policy shifts helped buoy markets, concerns about potential recessions and geopolitical tensions introduced caution among investors.
The Fund's Class I shares and Class N shares posted gains of 19.28% and 19.39%, respectively (Source: Ultimus). In response to the strong uptrend in equity markets, our quantitative risk-managed process strategically positioned the Fund to remain fully invested in risk assets throughout the period, capitalizing on favorable market conditions. The Fund derived its total return from a combination of exposures including U.S. equity, convertible bonds, preferred stock, high yield corporate bonds, domestic small-cap, and international small-cap stock. These exposures underperformed the large-cap equities that encompass the S&P 500 TR Index. A positive contribution to Fund’s total return came from adding exposure to an affiliated, short duration, private debt fund, the Redwood Real Estate Income Fund (ticker: CREMX). The Fund will continue to implement its disciplined quantitative security selection and risk management process.

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’s investment objective is to seek to generate tax-efficient income, while focusing on managing downside risk. The Tactical International Fund’s investment objective is to seek to generate long-term total return with capital preservation as a secondary objective. The SMarT Fund’s investment objective is to seek to generate capital appreciation while focusing on managing downside risk. The Funds are “fund of funds”, in that the Funds will generally invest in other investment companies.
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. The Municipal Income Fund Class N had zero shares outstanding at October 31, 2024. All classes are sold at net asset value (“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 their 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting 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 quoted 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 current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Debt securities not traded on an exchange may be valued at prices supplied by a pricing agent(s) based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics, such as rating, interest rate and maturity. 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 Redwood Investment Management, LLC (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.
Open-end funds and certain non-exchange traded closed-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many exchange-traded funds (such as closed-end funds and ETFs), 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 exchange-traded fund purchased by the Funds will not change.
The Funds may hold securities, such as private investments, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities are valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board)”. The Board has appointed the Funds’ Adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) for all fair value determinations and responsibilities, other than overseeing pricing service providers used by the Trust. This designation is subject to Board oversight and certain reporting and other requirements designed to facilitate the Board’s ability effectively to oversee the Valuation Designee’s fair value determinations. The Valuation Designee may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, approval of which shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures approved by the Board.
Redwood Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
October 31, 2024
Fair Valuation Process – The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board. 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 Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked 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 affects 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 each 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 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 a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee 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 their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument 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.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
October 31, 2024
Swap Agreements – The Funds are subject to equity price risk and/or interest rate risk and credit 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, Municipal Income Fund, Tactical International Fund and SMarT Fund invested in during the year ended October 31, 2024 was $211,386, $273,690, $105,317,132, and $45,058,055, 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 average month end notional value of the credit default swaps that the Managed Volatility Fund invested in during the year ended October 31, 2024 was $21,908,333. Municipal Income Fund, Tactical International Fund and SMarT Fund did not invest in credit default swaps during the year ended October 31, 2024.
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.
Foreign Currency – Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Redwood Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
October 31, 2024
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared and distributed quarterly for the Managed Volatility Fund, monthly for the Municipal Income Fund and annually for the 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, 2021, to October 31, 2023, for the Managed Volatility Fund, Municipal Income Fund, Tactical International Fund and SMarT Fund or positions expected to be taken in the Funds’ October 31, 2024, 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 Statements 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.

5. | PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS |
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 further information regarding the 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 securities risk, gap risk, high-yield fixed income securities (“junk bonds”) risk, Investment Companies 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, underlying funds risk, U.S. government securities risk and valuation risk.
Municipal Income Fund: active trading risk, asset allocation risk, borrowing risk, cash positions risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, cybersecurity risk, derivatives risk, fixed income securities risk, gap risk, high yield risk, investment companies risk, leveraging risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market events risk, market risk, model risk, money market instrument risk, municipal bond risk, portfolio turnover risk, real estate investment trusts risk, rules-based strategy risk, swap risk, taxability risk, underlying funds risk, U.S. government securities risk and volatility risk.
Tactical International Fund: active trading risk, American depositary receipts risk, calculation methodology risk, cash positions risk, cybersecurity risk, derivatives risk, emerging markets risk, equity risk, fixed income securities risk, foreign custody risk, foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk, gap risk, geographic and sector risk, index risk, index tracking error risk, investment companies risk, leveraging risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market capitalization risk, market events risk, market risk, money market instrument risk, passive investment risk, portfolio turnover risk, quantitative investing risk, real estate investment trusts risk, rules based strategy risk, underlying funds risk, U.S. government securities risk, valuation risk and volatility risk.
SMarT Fund: bank loan risk, borrowing risk, cash positions risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, currency risk, cybersecurity risk, derivatives risk, emerging markets risk, equity risk, fixed income securities risk, foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk, gap risk, geographic and sector risk, high yield risk, investment companies risk, leveraging risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market capitalization risk, market events risk, market risk, money market instrument risk, portfolio turnover risk, preferred securities risk, quantitative investing risk, real estate investment trust 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 a Fund’s investment in cash or cash equivalent securities increases, a Fund may not participate in market advances or declines to the same extent that it would if a Fund was more fully invested.
Derivatives Risk – The Funds may invest in derivative instruments. The derivative instruments held by a Fund 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 a 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 and unexpected trading activity among retail investors. Factors that may influence the price of equity securities include developments affecting a specific company or industry, or changing economic, political or market conditions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
October 31, 2024
Fixed Income Securities Risk – When a Fund invests in fixed income securities or derivatives, the value of your investment in a 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. 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 a 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.
High Yield Risk – Investment in or exposure to high yield (lower rated) debt instruments (also known as “junk bonds”) may involve greater levels of interest rate, credit, liquidity and valuation risk than for higher rated instruments. High yield debt instruments are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments and, therefore, such instruments generally involve greater risk of default or price changes than higher rated debt instruments. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the liquidity and value of these securities. If the issuer of a security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the underlying investment company or ETF could lose its entire investment. Furthermore, the transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of high yield debt instruments may vary greatly depending on a number of factors and may adversely affect a Fund’s performance.
Index Tracking Error Risk – The Tactical 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, a Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, a 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 Risk – When a Fund invests in other investment companies, including open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds or ETFs, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the other investment company’s operating expenses, including the management fees of unaffiliated funds in addition to those paid by the Funds. The risk of owning an investment company generally reflects the risk of owning the underlying investments held by the investment company. The Fund will be indirectly exposed to the risks of the portfolio assets held by an ETF or other investment company, which may include, but is not limited to, those of debt securities, real estate industry or other sectors, mortgage loans and participations and illiquid securities. A Fund may also incur brokerage costs when it purchases and sells shares of investment companies.
Liquidity Risk – Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of a Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing a Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring a Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations. In the past, in stressed markets, certain types of securities suffered periods of illiquidity if disfavored by the market. These risks may increase during periods of market turmoil and could have a negative effect on a Fund’s performance. Illiquidity may result from the absence of an established market for investments as well as legal, contractual or other restrictions on their resale and other factors. For example, with respect to a Fund’s investment in interval funds, there may not be a secondary market for the shares and limited liquidity is provided only through such fund’s regular repurchase offers. There is no guarantee that a Fund will be able to sell all of the shares it desires in a regular repurchase offer.
Market Capitalization Risk – The Fund’s anticipated weighting towards larger-sized companies subjects the Fund to the risk that larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during strong economic periods, and that they may be less capable of responding quickly to competitive challenges and industry changes. Because the Fund may invest in companies of any size, its share price could be more volatile than a Fund that invests only in large companies. Small and medium–sized companies typically have less experienced management, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, and less publicly available information than larger companies.

October 31, 2024
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 conditions and other factors, which may negatively affect a 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, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, changes in interest rate levels, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats, lack of liquidity in the bond or other markets, volatility in the securities markets, adverse investor sentiment and political events affect the securities markets. U.S. and foreign stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future. Securities markets also may experience long periods of decline in value. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer or market may adversely impact securities markets as a whole. Rates of inflation have recently risen. The value of assets or income from an investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money.
As inflation increases, the real value of a Fund’s assets can decline as can the value of a Fund’s distributions. 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 a 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.
Money Market Instrument Risk – The value of money market instruments may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the credit ratings of the investments. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. Recently, the SEC proposed amendments to money market fund rules that are intended to address potential systemic risks associated with money market funds and to improve transparency for money market fund investors. The money market fund reforms may impact the structure, operations and return potential of the money market funds in which a Fund invests.
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 significantly stressed the financial resources of many municipal issuers ability to meet their financial obligations when due and adversely impacting the value of their bonds.
Quantitative Investing Risk – The value of securities or other investments selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected performance. This may be as a result of the factors used in building the multifactor quantitative model, the weights placed on each factor, the accuracy of historical data supplied by third parties, and changing sources of market returns.
Swap Risk – The Managed Volatility Fund, Municipal Income Fund, 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 a Fund and the risk that a 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 a Fund may not be able to seek to achieve its investment objective. See Note 3 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of swaps and credit default swaps.
Redwood Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
October 31, 2024
Credit Default Swaps Risk – Managed Volatility Fund is subject to 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. 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.
Real Estate Investment Trust Risk – There is risk that investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) will make a Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for special tax treatment under the Code.
Taxability Risk – Municipal Income Fund is subject to 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. Income from municipal bonds held by the Fund or an underlying fund in which it invests could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, or non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer. A 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 a 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 a Fund to shareholders to be taxable. If a Fund fails to meet the requirements 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).
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 Funds may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. The value of an investment in a Fund’s portfolio may fluctuate due to events or factors that affect industries, sectors or markets generally or that affect a particular investment, industry or sector. The value of an investment in a Fund’s portfolio may also be more volatile than the market as a whole. This may cause a Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time. Events or financial circumstances affecting individual investments, industries or sectors may increase the volatility of a Fund.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Redwood Managed Volatility Fund, Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund, Redwood AlphaFactor® Tactical International Fund and Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (“SMarT”) Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Two Roads Shared Trust, as of October 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the years in the three- year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Fund’s financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2021, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 30, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies from brokers were not received, 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2022.
