This semi-annual shareholder report contains important information about the IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy Fund (the "Fund"), Institutional Class Shares, for the period ended June 30, 2024, as well as certain changes to the Fund. You can find additional information at https://idxfunds.com or 800-403-4349.
Dear Shareholders,
We are pleased to present the semi-annual report for the IDX Funds for the period ended June 30, 2024. This letter will focus on the performance and positioning of the IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy Fund.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy Fund returned 28.18% versus 42.89% for the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate. The Fund benefited from strong performance in bitcoin futures contracts during this period, as the cryptocurrency market showed signs of recovery. The Fund's net asset value increased from $7.73 per share on December 31, 2023 to $8.81 per share on June 30, 2024.
Key points regarding the Fund's positioning and performance:
As we look ahead, we believe the outlook for Bitcoin remains bullish given the recent approval of spot bitcoin ETFs and the upcoming halving event. While the future remains uncertain, our core tenet remains: you can invest for the path or the destination, but not both. For assets such as bitcoin - with significantly higher volatility than traditional assets - we believe that investing for the path is the prudent choice.
We appreciate your continued trust and investment in the IDX Funds. As always, we remain focused on serving your long-term investment goals.
Sincerely,
Josh Myers

This semi-annual shareholder report contains important information about the IDX Commodity Opportunities Fund (the "Fund"), Institutional Class Shares, for the period ended June 30, 2024, as well as certain changes to the Fund. You can find additional information at https://idxfunds.com or 800-403-4349.
Dear Shareholders,
We are pleased to present the semi-annual report for the IDX Funds for the period ended June 30, 2024. This letter will focus on the performance and positioning of the IDX Commodity Opportunities Fund.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the IDX Commodity Opportunities Fund returned -1.50% versus 5.14% for the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return. The Fund faced headwinds from volatility in commodity markets during this period as well as an overweight position in metals miners which saw considerable weakness in Q2.
The Fund's net asset value decreased from $9.46 per share on December 31, 2023 to $9.32 per share on June 30, 2024.
Key points regarding the Fund's positioning and performance:
The Fund maintained a diversified portfolio across commodities and commodity related equities with next exposure ranging from 30% to 125% over the period.
Top holdings included gold miners, corporate bonds, uranium miners, and MLPs.
The Fund remained net long, but defensively positioned at the end of the period.
Looking ahead, we see several factors that could favor commodities as an asset class, including infrastructure spending, the potential for a weakening dollar and increased geo-political risks despite near-term by concerns about a global slowdown in growth.
While the Fund faced different market environments in the first half of 2024, we remain committed to our disciplined, risk-managed investment approaches.
We appreciate your continued trust and investment in the IDX Funds. As always, we remain focused on serving your long-term investment goals.
Sincerely,
Josh Myers

IDX Funds | SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT |
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2024
IDX Funds (the “Trust”) was organized on May 29, 2015, as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Each fund is an investment company and follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies. The IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Strategy Fund (the “Bitcoin Fund”) and the IDX Commodity Opportunities Fund (the “Commodity Fund”) (individually a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are each a series within the Trust. The Funds are each non-diversified funds.
The Bitcoin Fund’s primary investment objective seeks long-term capital appreciation. In order to achieve their investment objective, the Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through actively managed exposure to bitcoin futures contracts. The Fund does not invest in bitcoin or other digital assets directly or through other funds. Additionally, the Fund does not invest in, or seek exposure to, the current “spot” or cash price of Bitcoin.
The Commodity Fund’s primary investment objective seeks total return, which includes long-term capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing globally across a wide range of asset classes, including commodities, equities, fixed income, and currencies, and may take both long and short positions in each of the asset classes or Instruments (as defined below). The Adviser expects that the Fund will predominantly invest in long and short derivative positions within commodities, but it will make strategic allocations to other asset classes as it deems appropriate. The Fund has the flexibility to shift its allocation across asset classes and markets around the world based on the investment adviser’s assessment of their relative attractiveness. This means the Fund may concentrate its investments in any one asset class or geographic region, subject to any limitations imposed by the federal securities and tax laws, including the 1940 Act.
The Funds’ investment adviser is IDX Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”).
Wholly owned and Controlled Subsidiaries
In order to achieve their investment objectives, the Funds each invest up to 25% of their total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in wholly owned subsidiaries, IDX Bitcoin Subsidiary (“IDXBS”) and IDX Commodity Subsidiary (“IDXCS”), respectively (collectively the “Subsidiaries”); each company is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. IDXBS and IDXCS commenced operations on November 17, 2021, and November 1, 2022, respectively, each as an exempted Cayman Islands company with limited liability. The Subsidiaries act as investment vehicles in order to enter into certain investments for the Subsidiaries, consistent with their investment objectives and policies specified in the Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information.
As of June 30, 2024, investments in the Subsidiaries represented 24.27% and 7.45% of the total net assets of Bitcoin Fund and Commodity Fund, respectively.
Share Classes
Each Fund has Institutional Class Shares only. The Bitcoin Fund’s Institutional Class Shares commenced operations on November 17, 2021. The Commodity Fund’s Institutional Class Shares commenced operations on November 1, 2022.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
| a) | Security Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at fair value, as described in note 3. |
| b) | Cryptocurrency Risk – Cryptocurrency (notably, Bitcoin), often referred to as “virtual currency” or “digital currency,” operates as a decentralized, peer-to-peer financial exchange and value storage that is used like money. The Bitcoin Fund may have exposure to Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, indirectly through an investment in an investment vehicle. Cryptocurrencies operate |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
without central authority or banks and are not backed by any government. Cryptocurrencies may experience very high volatility and related investment vehicles may be affected by such volatility. Cryptocurrency is not legal tender. Federal, state, or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of cryptocurrency, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing. Cryptocurrency trading platforms may stop operating or permanently shut down due to fraud, technical glitches, hackers, or malware.
| c) | Commodity Investments – The Commodity Fund may allocate assets among various commodity sectors (including agricultural, energy, livestock, softs (e.g., non-grain agricultural products such as coffee, sugar, cocoa, etc.) and precious and base metals). The Commodity Fund will obtain exposure to commodity sectors by investing in commodity-linked Derivatives, directly or through the subsidiary, not through direct investments in physical commodities. Certain investments such as commodity pools are measured based upon NAV as a practical expedient to determine fair value and are not required to be categorized in the fair value hierarchy. |
| d) | Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a portfolio of securities. The Funds may purchase an ETF to gain exposure to a specific asset class. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value. |
| e) | Futures Contracts – The Funds use of futures involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) leverage risk (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the reference asset. Investments in futures involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in futures can have a disproportionately large impact on the Funds. Counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Funds that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives. |
| f) | Short Sales of Investments – The Funds may engage in short sales of securities to realize appreciation when a security that the Funds do not own declines in value. A short sale is a transaction in which a fund sells a security it does not own to a third party by borrowing the security in anticipation of purchasing the same security at the market price on a later date to close out the borrow and thus the short position. The price a fund pays at the later date may be more or less than the price at which the fund sold the security. If the price of the security sold short increases between the short sale and when the fund closes out the short sale, the fund will incur a loss, which is theoretically unlimited. The Funds will realize a gain, which is limited to the price at which the fund sold the security short if the security declines in value between those dates. Dividends on securities sold short are recorded as dividend expense for short sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. While the short positions are open, the Funds will post cash or liquid assets at least equal in value to the fair value of the securities should short. |
| | Interest related to the loan is included in interest expense for short sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All collateral is marked to market daily. The Funds may also be required to pledge on the books of the Funds’ additional assets for the benefit of the security and cash lender. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Short positions, if any, are reported at value and listed on the Funds’ Consolidated Schedules of Investments. |
| g) | Options on Securities – The Funds may purchase and write (i.e., sell) put and call options. Such options may relate to particular securities or stock indices and may or may not be listed on a domestic or foreign securities exchange and may or may not be issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. Option trading is a highly specialized activity that entails greater than ordinary investment risk. Options may be more volatile than the underlying instruments, and therefore, on a percentage basis, an investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
| | A call option for a particular security gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer (seller) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option, regardless of the market price of the security. The premium paid to the writer is in consideration for undertaking the obligation under the option contract. A put option for a particular security gives the purchaser the right to sell the security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option, regardless of the market price of the security. |
| | A fund’s obligation to sell an instrument subject to a call option written by it, or to purchase an instrument subject to a put option written by it, may be terminated prior to the expiration date of the option by the fund’s execution of a closing purchase transaction, which is effected by purchasing on an exchange an option of the same series (i.e., same underlying instrument, exercise price and expiration date) as the option previously written. A closing purchase transaction will ordinarily be affected to realize a profit on an outstanding option, to prevent an underlying instrument from being called, to permit the sale of the underlying instrument or to permit the writing of a new option containing different terms on such underlying instrument. The cost of such a liquidation purchase plus transactions costs may be greater than the premium received upon the original option, in which event the Fund will have incurred a loss in the transaction. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option. An option writer unable to affect a closing purchase transaction will not be able to sell the underlying instrument or liquidate the assets held in a segregated account, as described below, until the option expires, or the optioned instrument is delivered upon exercise. In such circumstances, the writer will be subject to the risk of market decline or appreciation in the instrument during such period. |
| h) | U.S. Government Securities – The Funds also invest in U.S. government securities. Risks arise from investments in U.S. government securities due to possible market illiquidity. U.S. government securities are also sensitive to changes in interest rates and economic conditions. The Funds have established procedures to actively monitor market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no assurance that they will, in fact, succeed in doing so. |
| i) | Consolidation of the Subsidiaries – The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bitcoin Fund and the Commodity Fund each include the investment activity and financial statements of IDXBS and IDXCS, respectively. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Because each Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in its respective subsidiary, the Funds may be considered to be investing indirectly in some of those investments through its Subsidiaries. For that reason, references to the Funds may also encompass its subsidiary. The Subsidiaries will be subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations and follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Funds when viewed on a consolidated basis. Each Fund and its subsidiary are a “commodity pool” under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act and the Adviser is a “commodity pool operator” registered with and regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). As a result, additional CFTC-mandated disclosure, reporting, and recordkeeping obligations apply with respect to each Fund and its respective subsidiary under CFTC and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) harmonized regulations. As of June 30, 2024, IDXBS had net assets of $5,420,964 comprising 24.27% of the net assets and IDXCS had net assets of $3,861,462 comprising 7.45% of the net assets of the Bitcoin Fund and the Commodity Fund, respectively. |
| j) | Non-Diversified Fund Risk – A non-diversified fund’s greater investment in a single issuer makes the Funds more susceptible to financial, economic or market events impacting such issuer. A decline in the value of or default by a single investment may have a greater negative effect than a similar decline or default by a single security in a diversified portfolio. |
| k) | Federal Income Taxes – The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Funds recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is more-likely-than-not-to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
| | Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on all open tax years and expected to be taken as of and during the period ended June 30, 2024, and has concluded that the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds identify its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and State of Delaware. |
| | For tax purposes, the Funds’ Subsidiaries are exempted Cayman Islands investment companies. The Subsidiaries have received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting them from all local income, profits, and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the Subsidiaries are a Controlled Foreign Corporations (“CFCs”) and as such are not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned CFC, the net income and capital gain of each CFC, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the respective Funds’ investment company taxable income. |
| l) | Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash is held with a financial institution. The assets of the Funds may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks and such deposits generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The FDIC insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 for each account holder. The counterparty is generally a single bank rather than a group of financial institutions; thus, there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The Funds place deposits only with those counterparties which are believed to be creditworthy. |
| m) | Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. GAAP requires that permanent financial reporting differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid-in capital or net realized gains. |
| n) | Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific Fund of the Trust may be allocated equally across all Funds of the Trust, or to the individual Fund based on each Fund’s relative net assets or another basis as determined by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), whichever method is deemed appropriate as stated in the Trust’s expense allocation policy. Expenses incurred specific to a particular Fund are allocated entirely to that Fund. |
| o) | Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 statements and the reported amounts of increase/decrease in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| p) | Other – Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes the amortization / accretion of premiums and discounts based on effective yield. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. |
| q) | Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under the arrangement is unknown and would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. |

Processes and Structure
The Funds’ Board has adopted guidelines for valuing investments and derivative instruments including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has delegated authority to the Valuation Designee to apply those guidelines in determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs
The Funds utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
| ● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. |
| ● | Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data. |
| ● | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available. |
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.
Fair Value Measurements
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.
Equity securities – Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market), including common stock, ETFs, and options purchased, 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. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American depositary receipts, financial futures, ETFs, and the movement of certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and are categorized in Level 2. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized in Level 2.
Fixed Income Securities – Fixed income securities and certificates of deposit with maturities more than 60 days when acquired generally are valued using an evaluated price supplied by an independent pricing service. Inputs used by the pricing service for U.S. government and treasury securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker dealer quotes, yields, bids, offers and reference data. Agency issued debt securities, foreign issued bonds and municipal bonds are generally valued in a manner similar to U.S. government securities. Evaluations for corporate bonds are typically based on valuation methodologies such as market pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations based on observable inputs. Fixed income securities are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.
Money Market Funds – Money market funds are valued at their net asset value of $1.00 per share and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

4. | DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS |
The Funds may buy or sell future contracts to increase exposure to the market, hedge market exposure of an existing portfolio, or decrease overall market exposure. The Adviser may invest in futures in this way to achieve a desired portfolio exposure. The Funds currently invest only in exchange-traded futures, which are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker) and are recorded within deposit with brokers for derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. During the year, the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts daily. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Funds recognize a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Funds’ basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The fair value of derivative instruments, not accounted for as hedging instruments, as reported within the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2024, for the Bitcoin Fund was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fair Value | |

7. | TAX MATTERS (Continued) |
Undistributed income or net realized gains for financial statement purposes may differ from amounts recognized for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition and characterization of income, expense, and capital gain items. The primary difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed ordinary income, undistributed long-term capital gains, unrealized appreciation/(depreciation), and other accumulated earnings relates to the tax amortization of organizational costs, deferral of losses due to wash sales, and tax adjustments related to the Funds’ investments in their Subsidiaries.
Under current law, capital losses and specified gains realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. For the current period, the Funds did not elect to defer any post-October and late year losses.
As of December 31, 2023, the Funds had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains:
| | Capital Loss Carryover | | | | | |
Fund | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Year of Expiration | |
The Bitcoin Fund | | $ | 209,553 | | | $ | — | | | | Indefinitely | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Commodity Fund | | $ | 565,637 | | | $ | — | | | | Indefinitely | |
In accordance with GAAP, the Funds may record reclassifications in the capital accounts, if necessary. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and are designed generally to present total distributable earnings and paid-in capital on a tax basis, which is considered to be more informative to the shareholder. the following reclassifications were made as of December 31, 2023:
Fund | | Total Distributable Earnings / (Accumulated Losses) | | | Paid-in Capital | |
The Bitcoin Fund | | $ | (501,955 | ) | | $ | 501,955 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Commodity Fund | | $ | 2,236,797 | | | $ | (2,236,797 | ) |
The Funds’ reclassifications are primarily attributable to the net operating loss forfeiture, non-deductible expenses, utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, and the Funds’ investment in their Subsidiaries.
There were no distributions paid by the Funds during the period ended June 30, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Funds paid the following distributions:
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long Term Capital Gains | | | Return of Capital | | | Total | |
The Bitcoin Fund | | $ | 1,807,769 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,807,769 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Commodity Fund | | $ | 998,760 | | | $ | 9,112 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,007,872 | |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2024
The following risks are specifically attributable to making investments in bitcoin. Each of these risks could adversely impact the value of an investment in the Bitcoin Fund.
New Technology Adoption Risks – Investing in bitcoin represents an investment in a new technological innovation with a limited history. The limited market trading history may limit the ability of the Adviser to assess opportunities and risks.
Industry Uncertainty Risks – Bitcoin and the marketplace for bitcoin is relatively new, which means that this type of investment is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Uncertainty surrounding the adoption of bitcoin, growth in its usage and in the blockchain for various applications and an accommodating regulatory environment creates a risk for the Fund.
Bitcoin Volatility Risks – Bitcoin trading prices are volatile. As a result, bitcoin may be more likely to fluctuate in value due to changing investor confidence in future appreciation in the price of bitcoin. Historically realized volatility may not be indicative of future volatility. Due to this limitation, changes in market conditions, or other factors, the actual realized volatility of the Bitcoin Fund for any particular period may be materially higher or lower than the volatility targeted by the Adviser. The return of the Bitcoin Fund for any given period could be directionally different than the price direction of bitcoin or bitcoin Futures depending on allocation decisions made by the Adviser in its attempt to implement the managed volatility strategy.
Regulatory Risks – While the bitcoin and the trading platforms and infrastructure on which bitcoin is traded is largely unregulated, both domestic and foreign regulators and governments have given significant attention to fraud and other manipulative acts that have occurred related to bitcoin. To the extent that future regulatory actions or policies limit or restrict bitcoin usage, bitcoin trading or the ability to convert bitcoin to government currencies, the demand for bitcoin may be reduced, which may adversely affect an investment in the Bitcoin Fund. Moreover, additional regulation or changes to existing regulation may also require changes to the Bitcoin Fund’s investment strategies.
Excess Supply Risks – Newly created bitcoin are generated through a process referred to as “mining,” and such bitcoin are referred to as “newly mined bitcoin.” If entities engaged in bitcoin mining choose not to hold the newly mined bitcoin, and, instead, make them available for sale, this increase in the supply of such bitcoin can create downward pressure on the price of bitcoin. The supply of bitcoin is constrained or formulated by its protocol, such that the number of newly minted Bitcoins is reduced over time until bitcoin issuance halts completely with a total of 21 million bitcoins in existence.
Disruptions and Failures at Bitcoin – Bitcoin trading platforms operate websites on which users can trade bitcoin for US dollars, other government currencies or other digital assets. Bitcoin trading platforms have a limited history with a record of disruptions. In many of these instances, the customers of such trading platforms were not compensated or made whole for the partial or complete losses of their funds held at the trading platforms. The potential for instability of bitcoin trading platforms and the closure or temporary shutdown of trading platforms due to fraud, business failure, hackers, distributed denial of service attacks or malware, or government-mandated regulation may reduce confidence in bitcoin, which may result in greater volatility in bitcoin.
Risks Associated with Demand for Specific Digital Assets – As the market for bitcoin evolves, it is possible that a digital asset other than bitcoin held by the Bitcoin Fund could have features that make it more desirable to a material portion of the digital asset user base, resulting in a reduction in demand for bitcoin held by the Bitcoin Fund (and thus negatively impacting the value of the Bitcoin Fund). Bitcoin hold a “first-to-market” advantage over other digital assets. Despite the market first-mover advantage of bitcoin, it is possible that other digital assets could become materially popular due to either a perceived or exposed shortcoming of a network protocol that is not immediately addressed or a perceived advantage of an alternative digital assets that includes features not incorporated into bitcoins held by the Fund. In such circumstances, the demand for the bitcoin held by the Bitcoin Fund could be negatively impacted. Decreased demand for bitcoin may adversely affect its price, which may adversely affect an investment in the Bitcoin Fund.

8. | BITCOIN RISK (Continued) |
Competition from central bank digital currencies (“CBDCs”) – Central banks have introduced digital forms of legal tender. China’s CBDC project, known as Digital Currency Electronic Payment, has reportedly been tested in a live pilot program conducted in multiple cities in China. A recent study published by the Bank for International Settlements estimated that at least 36 central banks have published retail or wholesale CBDC work ranging from research to pilot projects. Whether or not they incorporate blockchain or similar technology, CBDCs, as legal tender in the issuing jurisdiction, could have an advantage in competing with, or replacing, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange or store of value. Central banks and other governmental entities have also announced cooperative initiatives and consortia with private sector entities, with the goal of leveraging blockchain and other technology to reduce friction in cross-border and interbank payments and settlement, and commercial banks and other financial institutions have also recently announced a number of initiatives of their own to incorporate new technologies, including blockchain and similar technologies, into their payments and settlement activities, which could compete with, or reduce the demand for, bitcoin. As a result of any of the foregoing factors, the value of bitcoin could decrease, which could adversely affect an investment in the Bitcoin Fund.
Risks from Decreased Incentives for Miners – Miners generate revenue from both newly created bitcoin (known as the “block reward”) and from fees taken upon verification of transactions. If the aggregate revenue from transaction fees and the block reward is below a miner’s cost, the miner may cease operations. An acute cessation of mining operations would reduce the collective processing power on the blockchain. A large-scale cessation, either due to policy intervention or other reasons, may also cause higher volatility in bitcoin price, lower process power of the bitcoin network, and higher transaction costs. Any reduction in confidence in the transaction verification process or mining processing power may adversely impact the price of bitcoin. Furthermore, the block reward will decrease over time. As the block reward continues to decrease over time, the mining incentive structure will transition to a higher reliance on transaction verification fees in order to incentivize miners to continue to dedicate processing power to the blockchain. If transaction verification fees become too high, the marketplace may be reluctant to use bitcoin. Decreased demand for bitcoin may adversely affect its price, which may adversely affect an investment in the Bitcoin Fund.
Risks of Changes to Bitcoin Network – A small group of individuals can propose refinements or improvements to the bitcoin Network’s source code through one or more software upgrades that alter the protocols and software that govern the bitcoin network and the properties of bitcoin, including the irreversibility of transactions and limitations on the mining of new bitcoin. However, if less than a substantial majority of users and miners consent to the proposed modification, and the modification is not compatible with the software prior to its modification, the consequence would be what is known as a “fork”.
9. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that may contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

10. | MARKET DISRUPTIONS AND GEOPOLITCAL EVENTS |
Geopolitical and other events, such as war, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, epidemics, or pandemics could result in unplanned or significant securities market closures, volatility, or declines. Russia’s recent military invasion of Ukraine and the resulting broad-ranging economic sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries may continue to disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and companies, thereby decreasing the value of the Funds’ investments. Additionally, sudden, or significant changes in the supply or prices of commodities or other economic inputs may have material and unexpected effects on both global securities markets and individual countries, regions, industries, or companies, which could reduce the value of the Funds’ investments.
Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and ETFs – Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024.
On June 25, 2024, the Trust filed an amendment to its registration statement to change the Bitcoin Fund’s name to the IDX Risk-Managed Digital Assets Strategy Fund and amend its principal investment strategies to permit investments in ether and treasury futures and securities of digital asset-related operating companies. The amended registration statement is subject to review and comment by the SEC, and is expected to take effect on or about August 30, 2024 and mailed to shareholders of the Funds shortly thereafter.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
June 30, 2024
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales loads; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2024, through June 30, 2024.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” columns in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” columns in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales loads, or redemption fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | | | | | | | | Actual | | | Hypothetical | |
| | Fund’s Annualized Expense Ratio | | | Beginning Account Value 1/1/2024 | | | Ending Account Value 6/30/2024 | | | Expenses Paid During Period* | | | Ending Account Value 6/30/2024 | | | Expenses Paid During Period* | |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Bitcoin Fund | | | 2.49% | | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,070.06 | | | $ | 13.29 | | | $ | 1,057.44 | | | $ | 12.77 | |
The Commodity Fund | | | 1.79% | | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 992.50 | | | $ | 8.86 | | | $ | 1,016.01 | | | $ | 9.00 | |
* | Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182 days and divided by 366 (to reflect the number of days in the six-month period ending June 30, 2024). |
