IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE
All investing involves risk including the possible loss of principal. Shares in the Fund are highly illiquid, and you may not be able to sell your shares when, or in the amount that, you desire. The Fund intends to primarily invest in securities of private, late-stage, venture-backed growth companies. There are significant potential risks relating to investing in such securities. Because most of the securities in which the Fund invests are not publicly traded, the Fund’s investments will be valued by the Investment Adviser pursuant to fair valuation procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board of Trustees.
There are significant potential risks associated with investing in venture capital and private equity-backed companies with complex capital structures. The Fund focuses its investments on a limited number of securities, which could subject it to greater risk than that of a larger, more varied portfolio. There is a greater focus in technology securities which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. The inclusion of various indices is for comparison purposes only. The performance of an index is not an exact representation of any particular investment, as you cannot invest directly in an index.
If the Fund does not have at least 500 shareholders for an entire taxable year, you could receive an adverse tax treatment.
The Fund’s quarterly repurchase policy may require the Fund to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Investment Adviser would otherwise do so, and may also result in an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. This is not a complete enumeration of the Fund’s risks. Please read the Fund prospectus for other risk factors related to the Fund, its investment strategy and your investment in the Fund, and other additional details.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
SharesPost 100 Fund (the “Fund”) was established as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 20, 2012 and converted into a Delaware statutory trust on March 22, 2013. The Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that operates as an “interval fund” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The shares of beneficial interest of the Fund (the “Shares”) will be continuously offered under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As an interval fund, the Fund will make quarterly repurchase offers for 5% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares at net asset value (“NAV”), with no repurchase fee incurred. The Fund’s inception date was March 25, 2014. Prior to March 25, 2014, the Fund had been inactive except for matters relating to the Fund’s establishment, designation and planned registration of the Fund’s Shares under the Securities Act and the sale of 5,000 Shares (“Initial Shares”) for $100,000 to SP Investments Management, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”), which occurred on July 30, 2013.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors capital appreciation, which it seeks to achieve by primarily investing in the equity securities of certain private, operating, late-stage, growth companies primarily comprising the SharesPost 100, a list of companies selected and maintained by the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser’s primary strategy will be to invest in portfolio companies (each, a “Portfolio Company”) and generally to hold such securities until a liquidity event with respect to such Portfolio Company occurs, such as an initial public offering, which generally includes a restrictive period of 180 days commonly known as a lock-up period, or a merger or acquisition transaction. The Fund currently offers three different classes of shares: Class A, Class I, and Class L shares. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any) and shareholder servicing fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/ losses pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without discrimination between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a class are charged directly to that class. Dividends are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees.
2. Significant accounting policies
The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Investment transactions and income recognition — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net realized gains and losses on securities are computed on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as known if after the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily.
Use of estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement, as well as reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment valuation — The Fund’s NAV is based in large part on the value of its securities which are carried at fair value in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Where reliable market prices are available for those securities, the Investment Adviser will rely on those prices. However, because the securities in which the Fund invests are often illiquid, market prices may not be readily available or, where available, may be unreliable. At any point in

2. Significant accounting policies — (continued)
time, there may be few recent purchase or sale transactions or offers on which to base the value of a given private share. In addition, the prices reflected in recent transactions or offers may be extremely sensitive to changes in supply or demand, including changes fueled by investor perceptions or other conditions.
When reliable market values are not available, the Fund’s investments will be valued by the Investment Adviser pursuant to fair valuation procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board of Trustees. While the Fund and the Investment Adviser will use good faith efforts to determine the fair value of the Fund’s securities, fair value will be dependent on the judgment of the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser may also rely to some extent on information provided by the Portfolio Companies.
From time to time, the Fund may determine that it should modify its estimates or assumptions, as new information becomes available. As a consequence, the value of the securities and therefore the Fund’s NAV may vary. This may adversely affect Shareholders. Other than in connection with a liquidity event of a Portfolio Company, the Fund will generally sell Portfolio Company securities only in order (and only to the extent necessary) to fund quarterly repurchases of Fund Shares. However, because of the uncertainty and judgment involved in the fair valuation of the private shares, which do not have a readily available market, the estimated fair value of such shares may be different from values that would have been used had a readily available market existed for such shares. In addition, in the event that the Fund desires to sell Portfolio Company shares, the Fund may also not be able to sell these securities at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books or may have to delay their sale in order to do so. This may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV.
The Board of Trustees has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining these fair values to the Investment Adviser, but the Board of Trustees has the ultimate responsibility for determining the fair value of the portfolio of the Fund. The Investment Adviser has developed the Fund’s fair valuation procedures and methodologies, which have been approved by the Board of Trustees, and will make fair valuation determinations and act in accordance with those procedures and methodologies, and in accordance with the 1940 Act. Fair valuation determinations are to be reviewed and, as necessary, ratified or revised quarterly by the Board of Trustees (or more frequently if necessary), including in connection with any quarterly repurchase offer.
There were no changes to the valuation approaches or techniques applied during 2020.
Federal income taxes — The Fund’s policy is to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gain. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required.
Management has evaluated all tax positions taken or expected to be taken by the Fund to determine whether each tax position is more likely than not (i.e. greater than 50%) to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the current year. If the Fund were to incur an income tax liability in the future, interest on any income tax liability would be reported as interest expense and penalties on any income tax liability would be reported as income taxes. No interest expense or penalties have been recognized as of or for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Management of the Fund also is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of recognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Management has determined that the Fund has not taken any tax positions which do not meet the more likely than not threshold and as such, no liabilities related to uncertain tax positions have been reflected in the Fund’s financial statements.
Management analyzed all open tax years, as defined by the applicable statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions in which it files tax returns, which includes federal and certain states. The Fund’s 2015 - 2018 tax years are open to examination as of June 30, 2020.

2. Significant accounting policies — (continued)
Distributions to shareholders — The Fund distributes net investment income and net realized gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, annually. The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatment of net operating loss, wash sales, non-deductible offering costs and capital loss carryforwards. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, based on their federal tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Shareholder service fee plan — Under the terms of the Fund’s Shareholder Services Plan, the Fund may compensate financial industry professionals for providing ongoing services with respect to clients to whom they have distributed Shares of the Fund’s Class A and Class L. Both Class A and Class L may incur shareholder servicing fees on an annual basis up to 0.25% of its daily average NAV. Class I is not subject to a shareholder servicing fee. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Class A and Class L incurred $120,585 and $1,208, respectively, in shareholder servicing fees.
Distribution fee plan — Under the terms of the Fund’s Distribution Plan, the Fund may compensate financial industry professionals for providing ongoing services in respect to certain activities relating to the distribution of Class L to investors and maintenance of shareholder accounts, as well as for payments to the Class L platform sponsors. Although the Fund is not an open-end investment company, it has undertaken to comply with the terms of Rule 12b-1 as a condition of an exemptive order under the 1940 Act which permits it to have asset based distribution fees. Under the Distribution Plan, Class L pays the Distributor a Distribution Fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily NAV. Class A and Class I are not subject to a distribution fee. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Class L incurred $1,208 in distribution fees.
Transactions with affiliates — SharesPost Financial Corporation (“SharesPost Financial”) is a registered broker-dealer, member of FINRA and SIPC, and wholly owned subsidiary of SharesPost, Inc. Since the Investment Advisor is also wholly owned by SharesPost, Inc., SharesPost Financial and the Investment Adviser are affiliates.
To the extent any affiliate of the Investment Adviser or the Fund (“Affiliated Broker”) receives any fee, payment, commission, or other financial incentive of any type (“Broker Fees”) in connection with the purchase and sale of securities by the Fund, such Broker Fees will be subject to policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees pursuant to Section 17(e) and Rule 17e-1 of the 1940 Act. These policies and procedures include a quarterly review of Broker Fees by the Board of Trustees. Among other things, Section 17(e) and those procedures provide that, when acting as broker for the Fund in connection with the purchase or sale of securities to or by the Fund, an affiliated broker may not receive any compensation exceeding the following limits: (1) if the transaction is effected on a securities exchange, the compensation may not exceed the “usual and customary broker’s commission” (as defined in Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act); (2) in the case of the purchase of securities by the Fund in connection with a secondary distribution, the compensation cannot exceed 2% of the sale price; and (iii) the compensation for transactions otherwise effected cannot exceed 1% of the purchase or sale price. Rule 17e-1 defines a “usual and customary broker’s commission” as one that is fair compared to the commission received by other brokers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities being purchased or sold on an exchange during a comparable period of time. The Fund has adopted a policy that it will not utilize the services of Affiliated Brokers (although Affiliated Brokers may be engaged by sellers or buyers in transactions opposite the Fund). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Affiliated Broker will receive any undisclosed fees from the Fund in connection with any transaction involving the Fund and such Affiliated Broker, and to the extent any transactions involving the Fund are effected by an Affiliated Broker, such Affiliated Broker’s Broker Fees for such transactions shall be limited in accordance with Section 17(e)(2) of the 1940 Act and the Fund’s policies and procedures concerning Affiliated Brokers. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund paid $0 in commissions to Affiliated Brokers.
The Fund has implemented certain written policies and procedures to ensure that the Fund does not engage in any transactions with any prohibited affiliates. Under the 1940 Act, our Board of Trustees has a duty to evaluate, and shall oversee the analysis of, all conflicts of interest involving the Fund and its affiliates, and shall do so in accordance with the aforementioned policies and procedures.

3. Fair value measurements
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a three-tier framework for measuring fair value based on a hierarchy of inputs, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement. The hierarchy distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| ● | Level 1 — quoted prices for active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. |
| ● | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc. and quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active). Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement. |
| ● | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs, including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were transfers of $5,179,313 out of Level 3 and into Level 2, due to changes in the liquidity restrictions of private holdings.
The following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no changes to these techniques or approaches during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Securities traded on a national exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Stocks traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments which are marketable and to the extent the inputs are observable and timely, are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Fund’s portfolio holdings are primarily in Level 3 investments. As they are not publicly traded, and many are subject to restrictions on resale, the investments are less liquid than publicly traded securities, resulting in increased liquidity risk to the Fund.
The Fund’s portfolio investments will generally not be in publicly traded securities. Investments for which observable market prices in active markets do not exist are reported at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Investment Adviser under consistently applied policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees in accordance with GAAP. In connection with that determination, members of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management team will prepare Portfolio Company valuations using the most recent Portfolio Company financial statements and forecasts when and if available. The types of factors that the Investment Adviser will take into account in determining fair value, subject to review and ratification where required by the Board of Trustees with respect to such non-traded investments, will include, as relevant and, to the extent available, the Portfolio Company’s earnings, the markets in which the Portfolio Company does business, comparison to valuations of publicly traded companies in the Portfolio Company’s industry, comparisons to recent sales of comparable companies, the discounted value of the cash flows of the Portfolio Company, the rights and preferences of the specific securities held, and other relevant factors. This information may not be available because it is difficult to obtain financial and other information with respect to private companies. In considering the extent and nature of information utilized in the valuation process, management will generally apply a greater weighting to that information which is recent and observable. Because such valuations are inherently uncertain and may be based on estimates, the determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would be assessed if a readily available market for these securities existed. Based on these factors, the investments in private companies will generally be presented as a Level 3 investment. Changes in accounting standards, such as the recent change in revenue recognition policies, may not be adopted consistently by issuers or at the same time,

3. Fair valuation measurements — (continued)
and as a result varied implementation may make it more difficult for the Fund to properly evaluate or compare financial information provided by Portfolio Companies of the Fund or to determine the validity of data of publicly traded company comparables for purposes of valuing the Fund’s portfolio holdings.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to determine fair value of the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:
Investment in Securities | | Level 1 - Quoted Prices | | | Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs | | | Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | Total | |

The following is a summary of quantitative information about significant unobservable valuation inputs for Level 3 Fair Value Measurements for investments held as of June 30, 2020:
Type of Level 3 Investment | | Fair Value as of June 30, 2020 | | Valuation Technique* | Unobservable Inputs | | Range (Avg) | |
Common stock in private companies | | $ | 124,230,683 | | Precedent Transactions | Precedent Transactions | | | N/A | |

| | | | | | Execution Discount Rates | | | 15% - 90% (43.45%) | |
| | | | | | Discounts For Lack of Marketability | | | 15.00% (15.00%) | |
Preferred stock in private companies | | | 49,498,342 | | Precedent Transactions | Precedent Transactions | | | N/A | |

Warrant in private company | | | 810 | | Option Pricing Model | Industry Volatility | | | 177.45% | |
| | | | | | Estimated Time to Exit | | | 84 months | |
For valuing Common and Preferred stock, to the extent the revenue multiples increase, there is a corresponding increase in fair value; while as discount rates increase, there is a decrease in fair value. For valuing Warrants, the increase in industry volatility leads to an increase in fair value.
4. Expense limitation agreement
The Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund so that its total annual operating expenses, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary costs, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, do not exceed 2.50% of the Class A average net assets per year, 2.25% of the Class I average net assets per year, and 2.75% of Class L average net assets per year, through May 1, 2021.
Under the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement, at any time that the expenses of the Fund are less than the expense limitation, the Investment Adviser retains the right to seek reimbursement for any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed, to the extent that such reimbursement will not cause the Classes’ annualized expenses to exceed 2.50%, 2.25%, and 2.75%, for Class A, Class I, and Class L respectively, of their average net assets on an annualized basis. The Fund is not obligated to reimburse the Investment Adviser for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Investment Adviser more than three years before the date of such waiver or expense reimbursement. For the periods ended December 31, 2017, December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019, and June 30, 2020 the investment advisory fees and expense reimbursements by the Investment Adviser waived in the amounts of $1,121,021, $982,239, $1,467,342, and $494,109 respectively, are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser through December 31, 2020, December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

5. Investment advisory agreement
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Investment Adviser, pursuant to which the Investment Adviser provides general investment advisory services for the Fund. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives a fee from the Fund, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate equal to 1.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund accrued $1,911,864 in investment advisory fees.
Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Investment Adviser. None of the Fund officers who are affiliated with the Adviser receives any compensation from the Fund.
6. Capital share transactions
The Fund Shares will be continuously offered under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had registered 25,000,000 shares.
Investors may purchase shares each business day at a price equal to the NAV per share next determined after receipt of a purchase order. Any sales load will be deducted from the proceeds to the Fund.
As of June 30, 2020, ownership from affiliated parties represents 0.03% of the Fund.
The Fund’s shares are not redeemable each business day, are not listed for trading on an exchange, and no secondary market currently exists for Fund shares. As an interval fund and as described in the Fund’s prospectus, the Fund will make quarterly repurchase offers of 5% of the total number of shares outstanding at its NAV, unless postponed in accordance with regulatory requirements, and each repurchase pricing shall occur no later than the 14th day after the repurchase request deadline, or the next business day if the 14th day is not a business day. Rule 23c-3 of the 1940 Act permits repurchases between 5% and 25% of the Fund’s outstanding shares at NAV.
In every full quarter since the commencement of operations, the Fund has offered shareholders the opportunity to participate in this program. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund had Repurchase Offers as follows:

From time to time, the Fund may be a party to arbitration, or legal proceedings, in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of provisions of such contracts.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into agreements to purchase investments. Such agreements are subject to certain rights of the issuer’s and ultimately, issuer approval. At June 30, 2020, the Fund had entered into agreements to purchase equity securities totaling $2,578,750. If approved by the issuer, the Fund would record such amount in purchase costs.
The Fund reasonably believes its assets will provide adequate cover to satisfy all its unfunded commitments. The Fund has ensured through its policies and procedures that it does not enter into an unfunded commitment unless it has reserved enough cash to meet the funding requirements thereof.
10. Offering price per share
A maximum front-end sales load of 5.75% for Class A shares and 4.25% for Class L is imposed on purchases. Class I shares are not subject to sales charge. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund was advised that various broker dealers received $129,924 of sales charges from sales of the Fund’s shares, of which $2,530 represented sales load received by affiliates.
11. Recent Market and Economic Developments
An outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) detected in Asia in December 2019 and which has spread globally has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. Certain impacts to public health conditions particular to the coronavirus may have a significant negative or magnified impact on the operations and performance of the Fund’s investments. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Fund will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the health restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
12. Subsequent events
Management of the Fund has evaluated events occurring after June 30, 2020 and through the date the financials were issued, to determine whether any subsequent events would require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. No subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure within the financial statements were noted.

Additional Information
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

Portfolio holdings — The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on form N-PORT. The Fund’s Form N-PORT is available on the SEC’s website at http://sec.gov. You may also obtain copies by calling the Fund at 1-800-834-8707.
Consideration for the approval of the Investment Advisory agreement — At a meeting held on May 13, 2020 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Fund (including the trustees who are not “interested” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”, voting separately) approved the extension of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with SP Investments Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) for a one-year period.
In the course of their consideration of the renewal of the Agreement, the Independent Trustees met in executive session and were advised by their independent counsel. The Independent Trustees evaluated the terms of the Agreement and reviewed with counsel their duties and responsibilities in evaluating and approving the continuation of the Agreement. In considering renewal of the Agreement, the Board reviewed the materials provided to it by the Adviser, as supplemented by oral information at the Meeting. As part of its evaluation, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered, among other things, the following factors: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (2) the comparative investment performance of the Fund; (3) the cost of the services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders; and (5) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived and identified by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund. The Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s written response, as supplemented by the Adviser’s additional oral responses at the meeting, and determined that the content of the Adviser’s response was sufficiently responsive to their request for information to support their decision to consider the renewal of the Agreement.
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided under the Agreement by the Adviser. The Board considered the financial resources of the Adviser and its parent, and staffing required to manage the Fund and provide oversight of the Fund’s third-party service providers.
In considering the investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to the Fund’s performance since the Fund’s inception on March 25, 2014 through March 31, 2020. The Board considered the performance of the Fund to other (“peer funds”) with materially similar investment strategies, but also took into consideration the Adviser’s observation that that the Fund’s investment strategy was not common, and as a result the Fund had a limited range of peers. The Independent Trustees took into consideration the Adviser’s explanation of the methodology by which the Adviser identified the peer funds. The Board considered the Fund’s performance in comparison to its benchmark indices during periods relevant to such indices since the Fund’s inception, noting that the Fund underperformed the Russell 2000 Index and S&P 500 Index for certain time periods and outperformed them for other periods.
In considering the cost of the services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund, the Board considered the advisory fees paid to the Adviser under the Agreement for the year ended March 31, 2020 and on an annualized basis since the Fund’s inception. The Board also considered the advisory fees and total expense ratio of the Fund compared to those of the funds contained in its peer group. The Board considered that some peer funds charge a base management similar to the Fund’s 1.9% management fee, but may also charge incentive fees of up to 20% of certain performance measures. The Fund’s net expense ratio was also lower than the majority of the other peer funds, which have net expense ratios of between 1.86% and 11.00%. The Board noted that: (1) the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio are reasonable when compared to the expense ratios of the funds included in the Fund’s peer group; (2) the Adviser does not charge the Fund a performance fee; and (3) the Adviser has agreed to

Additional Information (Continued)
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
limit the total expenses for the Fund to 2.5% of net assets (subject to certain exceptions) through an expense limitation agreement through May 1, 2021. Further, the Board considered the overall profits realized by the Adviser in connection with the operation of the Fund and the financial resources of the Adviser’s parent entity.
The Board considered whether the Adviser has realized, or will realize, economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund’s fee levels reflect such economies of scale. In this regard, the Board considered that the Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund, under which the Adviser has agreed to limit the total expenses of the Fund. The Board also noted that, due to the Fund’s asset size, advisory fee breakpoints did not appear to be appropriate at this time. The Board considered any potential fall-out benefits that might accrue to the benefit of the Adviser or its affiliates.
The Board reviewed these considerations and determined, taking into account the factors described and such other matters deemed relevant, with no one factor being determinative, and with each trustee weighing the various factors independently, that the Agreement should be extended for a one year period.
