Letter to Shareholders
November 30, 2021
Dear Shareholder:
In the following paragraphs we will recap the key factors affecting broad markets and the Horizon Funds through the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021.
Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund
The Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) returned 22.63% for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. Domestic equities (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) returned 27.92%, while international equities returned 9.90% (as measured by the S&P Global BMI ex-US Index) over the same period.
The positive news around vaccinations in early November 2020 kicked off a strong year for equity markets generally. The early part of the year was characterized by a re-rating in some of the market sectors that were more heavily impacted by the contraction in economic activity in 2020, including emerging market equities, domestic value stocks, and domestic small- and mid-caps. As volatility increased across markets in February and March, however, these early trends gave way to a continuation of the U.S. large cap dominance present for much of 2019 and 2020. There was considerable volatility in equity market leadership for the balance of the year, a reflection of how uncertain the economic outlook remains. Picking up on these trend changes was a key factor in the Fund’s performance throughout the year. The Fund maintained a preference for U.S. equities throughout the year, but managed to take advantage of some of the risk-on market action early in the year through substantial overweights to emerging markets and domestic small- and mid-caps. As the year went on, this positioning was trimmed in favor of higher quality and larger cap domestic stocks. Near the end of the year, the Fund’s positioning in the year’s winners, especially U.S. large-cap growth and technology, was decreased in favor of slightly smaller cap domestic equities in anticipation of investor rebalancing activity after a strong year.
The key driver of Fund performance was U.S. equity positioning, especially allocations to large-cap growth stocks. Small- and mid-cap domestic stocks also contributed strongly to returns when used opportunistically throughout the year. Key detractors include international developed market exposures, including core and regionally focused holdings. Emerging market equity exposure also lagged slightly, although it did contribute strongly to returns in the early part of the year.
Horizon Active Risk Assist Fund
The Horizon Active Risk Assist Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) realized a return of 20.64% for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. Domestic equities (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) returned 27.92%, while international equities returned 9.90% (as measured by the S&P Global BMI ex-US Index) over the same period. The Fund exhibited an average beta of 0.91 to the S&P 500 Index over the period.
As a risk mitigation strategy designed with the goal to mitigate catastrophic loss of portfolio value, the Fund performed in line with expectations during the period. The Fund’s realized volatility for the period was 14.23%, similar to than that of domestic and international equities (realized volatilities for the period of 14.90% and 13.38% respectively). The Fund also realized a maximum drawdown of 5.55%, which was in line with the 5.12% drawdown experienced by the S&P 500 and less than the 7.26% drawdown of the S&P Global BMI ex-US.
The Fund began the year positioned for a pro-cyclical rally in equity markets, including overweights to emerging markets and domestic small- and mid-caps. As cross-asset volatility increased in February and March, the Fund increased domestic equity positioning and moved away from emerging markets. The Fund maintained a general overweight to the U.S. for the remainder of the year, and moved higher up the quality spectrum as the year progressed. Toward the end of the year, the Fund’s positioning in the year’s winners, especially U.S. growth and technology, was

trimmed in favor of slightly smaller cap domestic equities. In terms of performance of the underlying allocations, large-cap domestic growth holdings contributed the most to the Fund’s return, while allocations to international developed markets detracted the most from the Fund’s return over the fiscal year.
The Fund had no de-risking or re-risking activity via the Risk Assist algorithm throughout the fiscal year. The Fund has been fully invested in global equities since July 2020.
Horizon Active Income Fund
The Horizon Active Income Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) was up 0.11% for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021, outpacing the -1.15% return for the broader bond market (as measured by Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index). Measures of Fund risk, including standard deviation and maximum drawdown, were in line with the benchmark during the period. The Fund displayed significant positive alpha during the period as a result of the Fund’s tactical process and opportunistic allocations to non-traditional fixed income market segments.
It was a fairly volatile year for broad fixed income markets, an environment that afforded the Fund plenty of opportunities. Early in the year, the combination of positive vaccine news and larger than expected fiscal stimulus in the U.S. caused core interest rates to rise and the yield curve to steepen. As inflation increased during the spring and summer, markets reacted by bringing forward actions by the Federal Reserve, leading to a fall in long-term bond yields and higher volatility in short-term interest rates. This flattening price action continued for the rest of the period as the Federal Reserve’s concern around inflation increased. Throughout the period, credit spreads declined broadly as strong corporate earnings and a desire for yield supported risk appetite. Hybrid fixed income exposures, such as convertible bonds and preferred equities, generally struggled in this environment, although they did display some periods of notable strength.
The Fund’s actively managed approach resulted in a below benchmark duration profile throughout the year. However, the Fund did take advantage of tactical opportunities in the yield curve, and meaningfully increased duration and long-end interest rate exposure toward the end of the period. The Fund maintained an overweight to credit, a beneficial tilt as credit spreads declined, and opportunistically rotated through various segments of the investment grade and high yield corporate credit market. Early in the period, exposure to non-traditional fixed income segments, including convertible bonds, preferred equities, and emerging market bonds, was relatively elevated. These less-liquid market segments were more heavily impacted by the increase in bond market volatility that began in February and March, and exposure was decreased substantially toward the end of the year.
The key drivers of Fund performance include corporate credit allocations, especially in various segments of the high yield market, in addition to the opportunistic use of convertible bonds. Long duration allocations in both U.S. government debt and investment-grade corporate bonds were the biggest detractors to performance over the period.
Horizon Defined Risk Fund
For the year ended November 30, 2021, the Defined Risk Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) had a total return of 12.38% and a standard deviation of 7.97%. Over the same period, the S&P 500 Index had a total return of 27.92% and a standard deviation of 14.90%. The Fund exhibited a 0.50 beta to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund had a maximum drawdown of 2.62% while the S&P 500 Index had a maximum drawdown of 5.12%.
The objective of the Fund is capital appreciation and capital preservation. The Fund pursues its objective by investing in a basket of U.S. large-cap equities that track the S&P 500 Index, while seeking to generate income, hedge volatility, and reduce downside risk by buying and selling put and call options. The Fund’s strategy is intended to outperform the S&P 500 Index in a down market and underperform in an up market, while realizing less volatility in any market. As shown by the performance statistics above, the Fund performed in line with the expectations during the period.

The Fund allows for active positioning within its options collar structure. The goal of this active positioning is to generate income, hedge volatility and reduce downside risk. This active positioning had no material impact to the Fund’s performance over the fiscal year.
Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund
The Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) returned 23.70% for the year ended November 30, 2021, while realizing a volatility of 14.65%. The return on the S&P 500 Index for the same period was 27.92%, with a realized volatility of 14.90%. Over the period, the Fund exhibited an average beta of 0.93 to the S&P 500 Index.
The Fund started the fiscal year fully invested and saw no Risk Assist activity. The Risk Assist algorithm was removed from the Fund during this fiscal year, as communicated to investors on January 28, 2021.
The Fund is actively managed, selecting and weighting securities using a proprietary quantitative approach to allocate the Fund’s portfolio between issuers, sectors, and/or factors (e.g. value, momentum, quality, and volatility). This process is designed to be defensive in nature in order to help the Fund navigate volatile market swings. The Fund’s strategy is intended to outperform the S&P 500 Index in a down market and underperform in an up market, while realizing less volatility. As shown by the performance statistics above, the Fund performed in line with the expectations during the period.
Outside of overall market direction, the main driver of the performance of the Fund is stock selection. Key highlights in the period include selection in Information Technology and Healthcare, while selection in Financials and Communication Services lagged in the period.
Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund
The Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) returned 28.91% for the year ended November 30, 2021. The return of domestic equities (as measured by the MSCI USA Index) for the same period was 27.18%. The Fund exhibited an average beta of 0.89 to the MSCI USA Index over the period.
As a risk mitigation strategy designed with the goal to mitigate catastrophic loss of portfolio value, the Fund performance exceeded expectations during the period. The Fund outperformed its benchmark during the period with a lower beta, an indication of positive alpha. The Fund’s realized volatility for the period was 14.19%, which was lower than the 15.56% volatility realized by domestic equities. The Fund also realized a maximum drawdown of 5.55%, which was in line with the 5.14% drawdown experienced by domestic equities.
The Fund had no de-risking or re-risking activity via the Risk Assist algorithm throughout the fiscal year. The Fund has been fully invested in domestic equities since May 2020.
The Fund’s investment sub-adviser, DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc., manages the equity portion of the Fund through a quantitative process while integrating ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria. After a challenging 2020 for most quantitative strategies, 2021 saw a rebound in performance for quantitative managers as value stocks kept pace with growth stocks on the back of re-opening of the U.S. economy. The Fund’s quantitative process benefitted from this market environment as well. During a period when there is no Risk Assist activity, stock selection is the primary driver of performance. Key highlights for the period include selection in Technology, Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples, while Healthcare selection was a key detractor during the period.

Horizon Active Dividend Fund
The Horizon Active Dividend Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) posted a total return of 16.58% for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index, returned 12.03% over the same period.
Horizon’s Active Dividend Fund invests in high quality companies with well-supported dividend yields that are trading at a discount to their intrinsic value. This past year saw the stocks of these high quality companies rebound from depressed levels as investors, who sold during the initial COVID scare, returned to markets and began buying following the news that COVID vaccines were approved in the fourth quarter of 2020. The realization that broad-based COVID vaccinations could allow economies to reopen prompted investors to reassess the earnings potential of companies after consumers emerged from lockdowns and re-engaged with the economy. Companies’ earnings potential suddenly improved dramatically, and their stock prices followed.
Energy holdings EOG Resources and Exxon Mobil contributed the most to outperformance during the period. The dramatic rise in energy prices – oil rose nearly 50% and natural gas more than doubled at its peak – drove strong earnings growth for these holdings.
The Fund also benefited from holdings in Semiconductor companies Broadcom, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Qualcomm. Accelerating demand for technology led to increased spending in enterprise, cloud, and broadband applications, driving strong earnings growth despite the semiconductor shortage.
Holdings in the Materials sector benefited from a return to global growth following the re-opening. Air Products & Chemicals, Steel Dynamics, and Reliance Steel contributed the most to Fund outperformance. Companies in the Materials sector benefited broadly from rising commodity prices as a resurgence in economic growth following the reopening spurred a rapid increase in demand in the face of limited supply due to supply chain disruptions.
Consumer Staples holdings detracted the most from performance for the year. Fund holdings Clorox, Walmart and Unilever had the largest impact. As the economic reopening pushed inflation higher, Consumer Staples company’s margins suffered from their inability to raise prices in the face of rising input costs, resulting in disappointing earnings.

Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the entire market or a benchmark. Beta is calculated by dividing the product of the covariance of the security’s returns and the benchmark’s returns by the product of the variance of the benchmark’s returns over a specified period.
Alpha is a measure of the excess return, after accounting for systematic risk as measured by beta, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the entire market or a stated benchmark. Alpha is calculated by comparing the security’s returns over a given period with the product of the security’s beta measure and the returns of the benchmark over that same period.
Realized volatility, as known as standard deviation, is a statistical measure of dispersion of returns for a given security or market index over a given period of time. This measure is typically calculated by determining the average deviation from the average price of a financial instrument in the given time period. The higher the realized volatility value, the riskier the security.
Duration is a measure of risk for fixed income securities. It measures the sensitivity of the price of a fixed income instrument or portfolio of fixed income instruments to a change in interest rates. All else equal and for a given change in interest rates, a security or portfolio of securities with a larger duration will exhibit greater price changes than that with a smaller duration.
A call option is a contract that provides the buyer with the right, but not the obligation, to buy a security at a specified price on or before a specified date. A put option is a contract that provides the buyer with the right, but not the obligation, to sell a security at a specified price on or before a specified date.
With regard to the Risk Assist algorithm, a de-risking activity is a sale of a portion of a Fund’s equity portfolio and a purchase of a highly liquid short-term U.S. Treasury obligation, or other cash-like equivalents, with the goal to mitigate catastrophic loss of portfolio value. Similarly, a re-risking activity is a sale of a highly liquid short-term U.S. Treasury obligation, or other cash-like equivalents and a purchase of a portion of a Fund’s equity portfolio, with the goal to reduce the potential performance drag when compared with the fully-invested equity portfolio.
Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund: Many factors affect the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) Fund’s performance. The Fund’s share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions in response to economic, political, and financial developments. The direction and extent of those price changes will be affected by the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographical location of the securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund is not federally insured or guaranteed by any government agency. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. Investing primarily in investments that meet ESG criteria carries the risk that the Fund may forgo otherwise attractive investment opportunities or increase or decrease its exposure to certain types of companies and, therefore, may underperform funds that do not consider ESG factors.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. In addition to the costs, fees, and expenses involved in investing in ETFs, ETFs are subject to additional risks including the risks that the market price of the shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares. The Funds may invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater in emerging markets. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Funds in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Small and Medium capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large capitalization companies. Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) involve additional risks such as declines in the value of real estate and increased susceptibility to adverse economic or regulatory developments. The Funds may also use options, which have the risks of unlimited losses of the underlying holdings due to unanticipated market movements and failure to correctly predict the direction of securities’ prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. The investment in options is not suitable for all investors.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk. Please refer to the Portfolio of Investments in this report for a complete list of fund holdings.
Earnings growth is not a measure of the Fund’s future performance.

The Performance data quoted is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

In the absence of fee waivers and reimbursements, when they are necessary to keep expenses at the expense cap, total return would be reduced. Performance figures for periods greater than one year are annualized.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the 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 income and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Funds value their investments and financial instruments at fair value as follows. In determining a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share, equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and exchange traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value using the last reported sales price. NASDAQ traded securities are valued using the NASDAQ official closing price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange. When market quotations received are from an active market, the securities will be classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If market quotations are not readily available, then securities are valued at fair value as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) or its delegate. Short-term debt instruments with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, intermediate and long-term bonds, convertible bonds, and other debt securities are generally valued on the basis of dealer supplied quotations or by a pricing system selected by the Adviser and approved by the Board. Where such prices are not available, valuations will be obtained from brokers who are market makers for such securities. However, in circumstances where the Adviser deems it appropriate to do so, the mean of the bid and asked prices for over-the-counter securities or the last available sale price for exchange-traded debt securities may be used. Where no last sale price for exchange traded debt securities is available, the mean of the bid and asked prices may be used. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are amortized to maturity, provided such valuations represent fair value. Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds, are valued at their reported NAVs. Purchased and written options are valued primarily at the 4:15 ET composite mean of the bid and the ask.
Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which valuation cannot be provided, as described above, are valued as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.
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. Generally, these inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. For an option position, these inputs may include, among other things, the implied price volatility of the underlying investment, the current market value of the underlying investment, the time remaining until expiration of the option, the relationship of the strike price to the market price of the underlying investment, and general market conditions.
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.

The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of registered investment company that is typically purchased and redeemed at NAV in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units”, and bought and sold in secondary markets on a securities exchange, where its shares trade like common stock. An index-based ETF represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. Alternatively, ETFs may be actively managed in accordance with a particular investment strategy. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they hold, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile.
Option Transactions – Options are derivative financial instruments that give the buyer, in exchange for a premium payment, the right, but not the obligation, to either purchase from (call option) or sell to (put option) the writer a specified underlying instrument at a specified price on or before a specified date. The Funds enter into option contracts to meet the requirements of their trading activities. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.
When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the statement of assets and liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current fair value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call or put 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 the writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an unfavorable change in price of the security underlying the written option.
A Fund may purchase put and call options. The Funds engage in options transactions on individual securities, ETFs, or indices to hedge against market declines or generate returns from falling asset prices. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund 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 Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. 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 Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such a 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 Fund 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 Investment Income – Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and expense is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Long-term capital gain distributions from investment companies if any, are recorded separately from dividend income. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method.
Investment in Other Investment Companies – To the extent that a Fund invests in other investment companies, shareholders may obtain a copy of the underlying investment companies’ financial statements on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s internet site at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of information on the SEC’s internet site may also be obtained, upon payment of a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following e-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov.
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. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
Federal Income Taxes – It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
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 open tax years or expected to be taken on the Funds’ 2021 tax returns. The Funds identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, North Carolina State and Delaware State; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.
Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions from investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, Horizon Defined Risk, Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, and Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund and quarterly for the Horizon Active Income Fund and Horizon Active Dividend Fund and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds will declare and pay net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Shareholder Services Plan – The Board has adopted a shareholder serving plan (the “Plan”) for Investor Class Shares of the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, and the Horizon Active Income Fund. The Plan allows the Funds to use part of their assets for shareholder servicing expenses. The Shareholder Servicing Expenses for the Investor Class shares of the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, and Horizon Active Income Fund are currently 0.10% of average daily net assets. For these services, the Funds pay a fee up to 0.10% of average net assets attributable to Investor Class shares of the Funds on an annualized basis. Payments under the Plan are made for the provision of support services to shareholders, including administrative or other shareholder support services such as responding to customer inquiries or assisting the Funds in establishing or maintaining shareholder accounts and records. The entities providing shareholder services may provide such services directly, or may arrange for such services to be provided by another entity that has a servicing relationship with one or

more shareholders. However, payments under the Plan are an operating expense of each Fund that is not subject to the expense limitation provided by the Adviser. Payments under the Plan may vary and are determined by the respective Fund in its sole discretion, in amounts up to 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Investor Class shares of the Fund on an annualized basis.
Rule 12b-1 – The Trust, with respect to all Funds, has adopted a Distribution Plan for Advisor Class shares of each Fund, and also for Investor Class shares of the Horizon Active Dividend Fund, Horizon Defined Risk Fund, the Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund and the Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”). However, payments under the 12b-1 Plan are an operating expense of each Fund that is not subject to the expense limitation provided by the Adviser. The 12b-1 Plan provides for the payment of a distribution fee to Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) at an annualized rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the applicable classes. During the year ended November 30, 2021 the distribution fees accrued for the Investor Class shares of the Horizon Active Dividend Fund, Horizon Defined Risk Fund, Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund and for the Advisor Class shares of all Funds were 0.10% and 0.25% of average daily net assets, respectively. During the year ended November 30, 2021, the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, Horizon Active Income Fund, Horizon Active Dividend Fund, Horizon Defined Risk Fund, Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund and Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund Advisor Class shares incurred $10,157, $17,271, $9,616, $25,522, $51,476, $1,468, and $47,130, respectively, pursuant to the plan. During the year ended November 30, 2021, the Horizon Active Dividend Fund, Horizon Defined Risk Fund, Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund and Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund Investor Class shares incurred $117,644, $210,082, $148,523 and $66,427, respectively, pursuant to the plan. Investor Class shares of the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund and Horizon Active Income Fund and Institutional Class shares of all Funds do not pay any 12b-1 distribution fees.
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. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
LIBOR Discontinuation Risk – Many financial instruments use or may use a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” which is the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As such, the potential impact of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or the financial instruments in which the Funds invest cannot yet be determined. The elimination of LIBOR or changes to other reference rates or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of reference rates could have an adverse impact on the market for, or value of, any securities or payments linked to those reference rates, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and/or net asset value. Furthermore, the risks associated with the expected discontinuation of LIBOR and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. Because the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021.
General Risk – The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depends on future developments, including
103

the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Funds’ performance.
3. | ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with each Fund (the “Advisory Agreements”), investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Horizon Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”). Under the terms of the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser receives monthly fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.99% of the average daily net assets of the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, 0.99% of the average daily net assets of the Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, 0.77% of the average daily net assets of the Horizon Active Income Fund, 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Horizon Active Dividend Fund, 0.80% of the average daily net assets of the Horizon Defined Risk Fund, 0.80% of the average daily net assets of the Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund and 0.75% of the average daily net assets up to $150,000,000 and 0.70% thereafter of the Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund.
Pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed, until March 31, 2022 for the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, Horizon Active Income Fund, Horizon Active Dividend Fund and Horizon Defined Risk Fund, and June 26, 2022 for the Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund and Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund, to waive a portion of the Fund’s advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse the Fund for other expenses to the extent that the aggregate expenses of every character, including but not limited to investment advisory fees of the Adviser (but excluding front-end or contingent sales loads; brokerage fees and commissions; acquired fund fees and expenses; borrowing costs, such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short; payments by the Fund, if any, under the Trust’s Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan; payments by the Fund, if any, under the Trust’s Shareholder Services Plan; expenses paid with securities lending expense offset credits; taxes; and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) incurred by a class of shares of the Fund in any fiscal year do not exceed the percentage of average daily net assets in the below table.

The Funds may lend domestic securities in their portfolios to approved brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program effective December 20, 2017, which is administered by U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”). The net income to which the Funds are entitled may be used

to offset against costs and other charges incurred by the Funds with the Custodian or its affiliates or, as directed in writing by the Funds, other service providers. Investment Advisory Fees, Shareholder Servicing Fees - Investor Class, Distribution Fees (12b-1) - Advisor Class and Distribution Fees (12b-1) - Investor Class as noted in the Statements of Operations are not eligible to be offset by securities lending income. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized in an amount equal to at least 102% at the outset of the loan and at least 100%, at all times thereafter, of the value of any loaned securities. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. Amounts earned from security lending is disclosed in each Fund’s Statement of Operations as a securities lending credit. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing year. Gain or loss on the fair value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand. During the year ended November 30, 2021, the Funds had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral is invested by the Custodian in accordance with approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines allow the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays, declines in the value of collateral provided, default on the part of the issuer or counterparty, or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The Funds could also experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Funds are indemnified from this risk by contract with the securities lending agent.
As of the year ended November 30, 2021, the value of the securities on loan and payable for collateral due to broker were as follows:
Value of Securities on Loan and Collateral Received

Horizon Funds
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Continued)
November 30, 2021
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.
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 November 30, 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2015.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
November 30, 2021
As a shareholder of the Funds you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, sales charges, and other Fund operating 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 as indicated in the table below.
Actual Expenses: The column labeled “Actual” of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes: The column labeled “Hypothetical” of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Horizon Funds
Approval of the Management Agreements (Unaudited)
November 30, 2021
The Adviser entered into an agreement pursuant to which ACP Horizon Holdings, L.P. acquires a majority ownership interest in the Adviser (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which closed on November 15, 2021 (“the “Closing”) was deemed to result in a change of control of the Adviser and therefore resulted in the termination of the existing investment advisory agreements between the Trust, on behalf of each of the Funds, and Horizon (the “Existing Advisory Agreements”). Because the Existing Advisory Agreements, by their terms, would otherwise expire before the Closing, the Board approved the continuation of the Existing Advisory Agreements and also the Board approved the new investment advisory agreements (“New Advisory Agreements” and together with the Existing Advisory Agreements, the “Advisory Agreements”) to take effect upon the Closing, subject to approval of each Fund’s shareholders.
At a meeting held on July 26, 2021, at which all of the Trustees were present, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, reviewed and approved the continuance of each Investment Advisory Agreement (each, an “Advisory Agreement”, and together the “Advisory Agreements”) between the Trust and the Adviser for each of the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, the Horizon Active Risk Assist Fund, the Horizon Active Income Fund the Horizon Active Dividend Fund, the Horizon Defined Risk Fund, the Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund and the Horizon ESG Defensive Core Fund (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”). In the course of their deliberations, the Board was advised by independent legal counsel. The Board received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Adviser in response to requests of the Board and counsel.
In considering the approval of the renewal and continuance of the Advisory Agreements and reaching their conclusions with respect thereto, the Board reviewed a memorandum, provided by independent legal counsel, which summarized the Board’s fiduciary duties and responsibilities in reviewing and approving the Advisory Agreements and other matters to be considered by the Board at the Meeting and the types of information that should be reviewed by them and their responsibilities in making an informed decision regarding the approval of the Advisory Agreements. The Board also reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to each Fund; (ii) the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds; (iii) the investment performance of each Funds and the Adviser; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized as each Fund grows; and (iv) whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale to the benefit of each Fund’s shareholders, including the following:
Nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the services to be provided to the Funds, the experience, qualifications and key personnel of the Adviser, the Adviser’s compliance program, the Adviser’s sales force, the Adviser’s assets under management and relationships with other registered investment advisers for distribution purposes. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s financial statements and considered the Adviser’s financial condition.
The Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser. In this regard, the Board considered each Fund’s past performance, including comparisons to peer funds. The Board also considered each Fund’s portfolio turnover, use of soft dollars and best execution policies. The Board also considered the performance of other accounts managed by the Adviser.
Costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Board considered the management fees proposed to be charged to each Fund, and each Fund’s total expense ratios, each as compared to each Fund’s peer group, and took into account the differences in managing the Funds compared to other products that the Adviser offers, as well as the fees charged by Horizon to its separately managed accounts. The Board considered the terms and conditions of each Advisory Agreement, including the management fee and the services to be provided by the Adviser thereunder. The Board also considered the indirect benefits that the Adviser receives through soft dollars, cross sales of other products the Adviser sells and third-party marketing materials.

Horizon Funds
Approval of the Management Agreements (Unaudited) (Continued)
November 30, 2021
The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Fund grows and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale to the benefit of shareholders. In this regard, the Board considered that the Adviser was still waiving a portion of its advisory fees under the Expense Limitation Agreements with each Fund and considered how these waivers supported the Funds, noting that the Adviser expected to receive its full fees from all of the Funds as the Funds continue to grow. The Board considered the terms of the expense limitation agreement for each Fund, and the fact that the Adviser had agreed to continue the expense limitation agreements through at least March 31, 2023, and noted that the expense waivers and reimbursements were subject to recoupment during a three-year look-back window. The Board also considered that the Adviser agreed to consider implementing breakpoints in its management fee after such time as each Fund grows to a size that the Adviser is receiving its full fee.
After full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors, the Board unanimously approved the continuance and renewal of each Advisory Agreement.

The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Todd Gaylord is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant, Cohen & Company, Ltd., to perform audit services, audit-related services, and tax services during the past fiscal year. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal year. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including review of the registrant’s tax returns and taxable income and excise calculations and year to date estimates for book-to-tax differences. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
| | FYE 11/30/2021 | FYE 11/30/2020 |
| Audit Fees | $108,500 | $97,500 |
| Audit-Related Fees | $0 | $0 |
| Tax Fees | $24,500 | $21,000 |
| All Other Fees | $7,500 | $3,000 |
The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company, Ltd. for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively, applicable to non-audit services pursuant to a waiver of the pre-approval requirement was as follows:
| | FYE 11/30/2021 | FYE 11/30/2020 |
| Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
| Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
| All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant. The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountants for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser or Service Affiliates (as defined below) for the last two years.
| Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 11/30/2021 | FYE 11/30/2020 |
| Registrant | $3,600 | $3,730 |
| Registrant’s Investment Adviser | $0 | $0 |
Because the registrant’s accountants have not rendered any non-audit services during the last two fiscal years to the registrant’s investment adviser, or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant (together with the registrant’s investment adviser, “Service Affiliates”) that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, the registrant’s board of directors has not considered whether the provision of such services to the registrant’s investment adviser or the Service Affiliates is compatible with maintaining the independence of the registrant’s accountant.

| (a) | The registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on an evaluation of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Form N-CSR, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in this Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by the filing date, including ensuring that information required to be disclosed in this Form N-CSR is accumulated and communicated to the registrant's management, including the registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. |
