KAYNE ANDERSON RENEWABLE INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Series Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated July 27, 2015. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Kayne Anderson Renewable Infrastructure (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The Fund’s investment adviser, Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. (the “Adviser”), is responsible for investment advisory services, day-to-day management of the Fund’s assets, as well as compliance, sales, marketing and operation services to the Fund. The primary investment objective of the Fund is to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.
The 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 (the “Codification”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Fund does not hold itself out as related to any other series of the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor does it share the same investment adviser with any other series of the Trust.
The Fund offers two share classes, Class I and Retail Class shares. The Fund commenced operations on July 23, 2020, with Class I and the Retail Class commenced operations on November 30, 2020. Neither class of shares have any front end sales loads or deferred sales charges. Retail Class shares are subject to a distribution fee and shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets. Class I shares are not subject to a distribution fee.
The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Fund have equal rights and privileges except with respect to distribution fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single share class.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
A.
| Investment Valuation – The following is a summary of the Fund’s pricing procedures. It is intended to be a general discussion and may not necessarily reflect all the pricing procedures followed by the Fund. Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global Select Market® and the Nasdaq Capital Market® exchanges (collectively “Nasdaq”), are valued at the last reported sale price on that exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. If a non-exchanged traded equity security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. 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. |
Fixed income securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity less than 60 days, are valued at the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved independent third-party pricing service (“Pricing Service”). These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In the case of foreign securities, the occurrence of events after the close of foreign markets, but prior to the time the Fund’s NAV is calculated will result in an adjustment to the trading prices of foreign securities when foreign markets open on the following business day. The Fund will value foreign securities at fair value, taking into account such events in calculating the NAV. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time the NAV is calculated. These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Exchange traded funds and closed-end funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded fund does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. 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.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds, are typically valued at their reported NAV per share. To the extent these securities are valued at their NAV per share, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Forward currency contracts maturing in two or fewer days are valued at the spot rate. Forward currency contracts maturing in three days or more are valued at the midpoint prices calculated by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services” or the “Administrator”) using an “interpolation” methodology that incorporates foreign-exchange prices obtained from an approved pricing service for standard forward-settlement periods, such as one month, three months, six months and one year. These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Exchange traded options and Flexible Exchange® options (“FLEX options”) are valued at the composite mean price, which calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is principally traded. If the composite mean price is not available, the last sale or settlement price may be used. For non-exchange traded options, models such as Black-Scholes can be used to value the options. On the last trading day prior to expiration, expiring options may be priced at intrinsic value. These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they are principally traded. The settlement price is the average of the prices at which a futures contract trades immediately before the close of trading for the day. Equity swap contract prices are determined by using the same methods used to price the underlying security. These securities are categorized in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Fund and its Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating the Fund’s NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has designated the Adviser as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of the portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
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 relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s 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 fair value of the Fund’s investment represents the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of June 30, 2024. |
During the period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities, nor were there any transfers into or out of Level 3.
B.
| Forward Currency Contracts – The Fund is subject to foreign currency rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund utilizes forward contracts for foreign currency hedging purposes, volatility management purposes or otherwise to gain, or reduce, long or short exposure to one or more asset classes or issuers. The Fund holds forward currency exchange contracts obligating the Fund to deliver and receive a currency at a specified future date. Forward contracts are valued daily, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded daily as the difference between the contract exchange rate and the closing forward rate applied to the face amount of the contract. Refer to Note 2 A. for a pricing description. A realized gain or loss is recorded at the time the forward contract expires. Credit risk may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to comply with the terms of the contract. Refer to Note 2 I. for further counterparty risk disclosure. |
The use of forward currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund’s investment securities. The use of forward currency exchange contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward currency exchange contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it would also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the net amount receivable or payable reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to Note 2 K. for further derivative disclosures.
C.
| Foreign Securities and Currency Translation – Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the |

KAYNE ANDERSON RENEWABLE INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal year-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Investments in foreign securities entail certain risks. There may be a possibility of nationalization or expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability, and diplomatic developments that could affect the value of the Fund’s investments in certain foreign countries. Since foreign securities normally are denominated and traded in foreign currencies, the value of the Fund’s assets may be affected favorably or unfavorably by currency exchange rates, currency exchange control regulations, foreign withholding taxes, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies. There may be less information publicly available about a foreign issuer than about a U.S. issuer, and foreign issuers are not generally subject to accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The securities of some foreign issuers are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
D.
| Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Fund considers highly liquid short-term fixed income investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are included in short-term investments on the Schedule of Investments as well as in investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
E.
| Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The 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. |
F.
| Security Transactions, Income and Expenses – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and expense is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Certain dividends received from the Fund’s investments are comprised of ordinary income and return of capital. At the time such dividends are received, the Fund allocates dividends between investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on information provided by each portfolio company and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on actual allocations received from the portfolio companies after final tax reporting information is received. The return of capital portion of the dividends is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments. During the period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund received $278,730 dividends allocated to return of capital. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method. |
G.
| Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses – Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of the Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most Fund expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. 12b-1 fees are expensed at 0.25% of average daily net assets of Retail Class shares (See Note 5). Trust Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means. |

H.
| Share Valuation – The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund’s shares will not be priced on days which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for trading. |
I.
| Counterparty Risk – The Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor its obligations. The Adviser considers the credit worthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk. The counterparty risk for forward currency exchange contracts to the Fund includes the amount of any net unrealized appreciation on the contract. The counterparty risk for equity swaps contracts to the Fund includes the risk of loss of the full amount of any net unrealized appreciation on the contract, along with dividends receivable on long equity contracts and interest receivable on short equity contracts. Written and purchased options and futures contracts sold on an exchange do not expose the Fund to counterparty risk; the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the options and futures against counterparty nonperformance. Over-the-counter options counterparty risk includes the risk of loss of the full amount of any net unrealized appreciation.
|
J.
| 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
K.
| Derivatives – The Fund may utilize derivative instruments such as options, forward currency exchange contracts and other instruments with similar characteristics to the extent that they are consistent with the Fund’s respective investment objectives and limitations. The use of these instruments may involve additional investment risks, including the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying securities. Derivatives also may create leverage which will amplify the effect of their performance on the Fund and may produce significant losses. |
L.
| Statement of Cash Flows – Pursuant to the Cash Flows Topic of the Codification, the Fund qualifies for an exemption from the requirement to provide a statement of cash flows and has elected not to provide a statement of cash flows. |
The Fund has adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities and how they affect the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations. For the period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund’s average derivative volume is described below:
| | | | | | |
Long Forward Contracts | | | 23,016,281 | | | 21,094,749 |

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Trust has an agreement with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee equal to 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed in an Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement to reduce its management fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding 12b-1 fees – Retail Class (see Note 5), shareholder servicing fees, redemption fees, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage fees (including commissions, mark-ups and mark-downs), any acquired fund fees and expenses, annual account fees for margin accounts, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) do not exceed 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser may request recoupment of previously waived fees and reimbursed Fund expenses from the Fund for three years from the date they were waived or reimbursed, provided that, after payment of the recoupment, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed the lesser of the Expense Cap: (i) in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement; or (ii) in effect at the time of recoupment. The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is intended to be continual in nature and cannot be terminated within one year after the effective date of the Fund’s prospectus and subject thereafter to termination at any time upon 60 days written notice and approval by the Board or the Advisor, with consent of the Board. Waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery during the fiscal year of expiration are as follows:
| | | |
July 2024 to December 2024 | | | $127,710 |
January 2025 to December 2025 | | | 244,559 |
January 2026 to December 2026 | | | 258,354 |

paid by the Fund for administration and accounting, transfer agency, custody and compliance services for the period ended June 30, 2024, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
Quasar Distributors, LLC is the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”). The Distributor is not affiliated with the Adviser, Fund Services, or its affiliated companies.
4. TAX FOOTNOTE
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of and during the period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority and did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund is subject to examination by taxing authorities for the tax periods since the commencement of operations.
As of December 31, 2023, the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year end, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | |
Tax cost of investments* | | | $34,381,047 |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | | $4,991,411 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (4,601,648) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 389,763 |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | — |
Other accumulated losses | | | (20,524,540) |
Total accumulated losses | | | $(20,134,777) |
| | | |
*
| Represents cost for federal income tax purposes and differs from the cost for financial reporting purposes due to wash sales, partnership adjustments, and securities transferred in-kind. |
As of December 31, 2023, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryover of $9,682,729 and a long-term capital loss carryover of $10,841,811 which will be permitted to be carried over for an unlimited period of time. A regulated investment company (“RIC”) may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the Fund’s taxable period subsequent to December 31. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund does not plan to defer any qualified late year losses.
Distributions to Shareholders – The Fund distributes net investment income quarterly and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, GAAP requires that they be reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.
The tax character of distributions paid for the period ended June 30, 2024, and the year ended December 31,2023 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
2024 | | | $43,520 | | | — | | | — | | | $43,520 |
2023 | | | $1,440,582 | | | — | | | $1,279,716 | | | $2,720,298 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
*

5. DISTRIBUTION & SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES
The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) for the Retail Class. The Plan permits the Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of 0.25% average daily net assets of the Retail Class. Amounts paid under the Plan are paid to the Distributor to compensate it for costs of the services it provides to the Retail Class shares of the Fund and the expenses it bears in the distribution of the Fund’s Retail Class shares, including overhead and telephone expenses; printing and distribution of prospectuses and reports used in connection with the offering of the Fund’s Retail Class shares to prospective investors; and preparation, printing, payments to intermediaries and distribution of sales literature and advertising materials.
Under the Plan, the Trustees will be furnished quarterly with information detailing the amount of expenses paid under the Plan and the purposes for which payments were made. The Plan may be terminated at any time by vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons. Continuation of the Plan is considered by such Trustees no less frequently than annually. For the period ended June 30, 2024, the Retail Class incurred expenses of $2,906 pursuant to the Plan.
Distribution and fees are not subject to the Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement to reduce management fees and/or absorb Fund expenses by the Adviser. Distribution fees will increase the expenses beyond the Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement rate of 1.00% for the Retail Class, respectively.

During the course of business, the Fund may enter into transactions subject to enforceable netting agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows the Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the Fund did not enter into any netting agreements which would require any portfolio securities to be netted.

8. LINE OF CREDIT
On October 24, 2023, the Fund renewed its secured line of credit (“LOC”) in the amount of $12,500,000, 20% of the Fund’s gross market value or 33.33% of the fair market value of the Fund’s investments, whichever is less. When utilized the LOC would be collateralized by a first priority security interest in the assets of the Fund. The LOC matures, unless renewed on October 22, 2024. The LOC is intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions and covenants, in connection with shareholder redemptions. The LOC is with the Custodian. Interest is charged at the prime rate which was 8.50% as of June 30, 2024. The weighted interest paid on outstanding borrowings was 8.50%. The Fund has authorized the Custodian to charge any of the Fund’s accounts for any missed payments. For the period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund’s LOC activity was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
$4,198

9. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of June 30, 2024, Charles Schwab and National Financial Services, for the benefit of their customers, combined owned more than 95.03% of the outstanding shares of the fund.
10. CONCENTRATION & FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK
The Fund invests in Renewable Infrastructure Companies, the value of Fund shares may be affected by events that adversely affect companies in that industry. These can include contract counterparty defaults, adverse political and regulatory changes, poor weather conditions for renewable power generation, falling power prices, losses on financial hedges, technological obsolescence, competition and general economic conditions.
Securities of non-U.S. issuers, including those located in foreign countries, may involve special risks caused by foreign political, social and economic factors, including exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed and less efficient trading markets, political instability and less developed legal and auditing standards. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers organized or operating in developing countries.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued and there were no additional subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.
