Fund name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |

Goose Hollow Tactical Allocation ETF | $122 | 1.11% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
The Fund returned 20.07% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, underperforming its benchmark, MSCI World Large & Mid Cap Index, which returned 32.04%
Positive contributors included tactical trades in global equity markets such as South Africa and Poland, benefiting from stronger growth and political shifts. Agency mortgages, long-dated treasuries, and treasury floaters gained from lower inflation. However, hedges in sectors like Semiconductors, SPX, and NASDAQ weighed on performance. Additionally, Chinese equities underperformed due to weak stimulus measures and economic challenges.

How did the Fund perform since inception?
The Fund returned 9.09% since inception (November 14, 2023), for the period ending September 30, 2024, underperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 10.41% during the same period.
A global rally in rates contributed to the Fund’s performance. Short-dated treasuries provided steady coupon income, and various positions benefited from inflation coming down this year, including in inflation-linked bonds, treasury floaters, and variable-rate preferreds. The Fund benefited from appreciation in mortgage REITS, and found attractive yields in emerging market debt. The Fund’s hedge against interest rate volatility detracted from performance using CMS curve caps.

Mindful Conservative ETF | $113 | 1.08% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
The Fund returned 9.47%, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, underperforming its benchmark, the Dow Jones U.S. Moderately Conservative Portfolio Index, which returned 17.68% for the period.
The Federal Reserve’s rate cut and easing inflation contributed to broader stock gains. Globally, interest rate policy also influenced markets, with notable moves in Japan and China. The fixed income market also rallied, largely due to the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and signs of slower inflation and employment growth in the U.S. Higher yielding and longer-duration sectors outperformed as confidence grew in the Federal Reserve's ability to manage the economy while curbing inflation. The Fund participated in the fixed income gains while benefiting from a broader equity market participation in its more conservative equity holdings.
Underperformance could be attributed to the benchmark’s greater weighting in equities and its higher risk profile.

• The anticipation and then reality of Federal Reserve rate cuts came mostly as no surprise and generally aided broader market gains. The Fund was well positioned to capture gains in value-oriented constituents without concentration in the magnificent seven stocks as market leadership shifted throughout the year within market caps and styles.
• Any underperformance could be attributed to the Fund having a more value-oriented constituency and not having concentration in the top technology stocks.

How did the Fund perform last year?
The Fund returned 23.70%, for the year ended September 30, 2024, underperforming its benchmark, the Morningstar US Large-Mid Cap Index, which returned 36.30% for the year.
• While U.S. stocks continued their upward trajectory throughout the year, market leadership shifted within sectors. The Federal Reserve’s rate cut and easing inflation contributed to broader stock gains, benefiting rate-sensitive sectors like utilities and real estate. Sector selection played an important role in performance along with the ability to pick up gains from market indexes like SPY and RSP.
• The biggest detractor in performance was the lack of market-cap concentration among the sector and index allocations.

How did the Fund perform last year?
The Fund returned 28.51%, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index, which returned 32.35% for the period.
• The Fund used long-term and short-term behavior models to take long and short positions. The Fund seeks to add value by owning regional markets when expected returns are positive and taking defensive positions when expected returns are negative.
• Performance was bifurcated. The Fund outperformed MSCI EAFE, U.S. Small Cap, and MSCI Emerging Market Equities. The Fund underperformed U.S. Large Cap Equities.
• The underperformance is primarily the result of the benchmark composition of the MSCI ACWI Index. The MSCI ACWl is predominantly a large cap index with a measured allocation to emerging markets.

How did the Fund perform last year?
The Fund returned 2.87%, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, underperforming its benchmark, the Index IQ Merger Arbitrage Index, which returned 3.70% for the period.
The Fund was up 2.87% for the year. Over the year, the SPAC market continues to be challenging. There are few SPAC IPOs, few SPAC deal announcements, and the current SPACs aren’t trading nearly as much as they did during the height of the SPAC market. The Fund has continued to find SPACs trading below cash in trust and our strategy remains the same: scour the SPAC landscape for SPACs trading below trust and raise cash by selling SPACs trading above cash in trust.

Notes to Financial StatementsSeptember 30, 2024
(1) Organization
Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on July 26, 2017 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is comprised of several funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of Goose Hollow Tactical Allocation ETF and Goose Hollow Multi-Strategy Income ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are diversified actively-managed exchange-traded funds. The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of the Funds are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Goose Hollow Multi-Strategy Income ETF commenced operations on November 14, 2023.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (‘’Cboe’’). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (‘’NAV’’). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, currently 25,000 Shares, called Creation Units (‘’Creation Units’’). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of each Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (‘’Authorized Participants’’). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Paralel Distributors LLC (the ‘’Distributor’’). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds.
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 12
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
The following is a summary of significant policies consistently followed by each Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘’GAAP’’). 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’’ including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
For the period ended September 30, 2024, Goose Hollow Multi-Strategy Income ETF will be reimbursed $12,977 from the Sub-administrator as a result of an accounting error. This is included as a Receivable due from sub-administrator on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
A. Investment Valuations
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds’ securities. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market as determined using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the execution of these procedures to the Advisor as fair value designee. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below
• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Funds have the ability to access.
• Level 2 - Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 13
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and preferred stocks traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last traded price or official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the fund is primarily traded. Funds and preferred stocks traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last traded price. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at their settlement price on the exchange on which they are traded and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Exchange-traded options contracts are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange for that option as recorded by an approved pricing vendor. If an option is not traded on the valuation date, exchange traded options are valued at the composite price. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded.
The Funds did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2024.
The following table summarizes the Funds’ investments, based on their valuation inputs, as of September 30, 2024, while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for the Funds:

B. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities’ gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and dividend expense, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Funds is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on its current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.
The Funds may own shares of ETFs that may invest in real estate investments trusts (‘’REITs’’) and master limited partnerships (‘’MLPs’’) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs or MLPs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the ETF.
C. Cash
Idle cash may be swept into various interest-bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Goose Hollow Tactical Allocation ETF intends to distribute to its shareholders net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Goose Hollow Multi Strategy Income ETF intends to distribute to its shareholders net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least semi-annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 15
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
In addition, the Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
E. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a fund are allocated proportionally among all funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis.
F. Derivative Instruments:
All open derivative positions at year end are reflected on each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Funds, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Futures Contracts:
The Funds may enter into futures contracts for the purpose of hedging existing portfolio securities or securities they intend to purchase against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest conditions. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Funds recognize an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as variation margin. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Funds and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The Funds did not hold any futures during the year and did not hold any futures at September 30, 2024.
Options Contracts:
Purchased Options – The Funds pay a premium which is included in “Investments, at value” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. When a put option is exercised or closed, premiums paid for purchasing options are offset
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 16
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
against proceeds to determine the realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Funds bear the risk of loss of the premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.
Written Options – The Funds receive a premium which is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. The risk associated with writing an option is that the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of an underlying asset and are required to buy or sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price different from the current value.
The gross notional amount of purchased and written options outstanding as of September 30, 2024, and the monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the year ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:
| | |
| Outstanding Notional Amount (000) | Monthly Average Notional Amount (000) |

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind transactions are reflected as a receivable or a payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of September 30, 2024, there were no unsettled in-kind capital transactions.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Management of the Funds has reviewed the tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including U.S. federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
As of and during the year ended September 30, 2024, 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 on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
As of September 30, 2024, the tax cost of securities, including written options, and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:
| | | | |
| Tax Cost of Securities | Unrealized Appreciation | Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
Goose Hollow Tactical Allocation ETF | $36,477,966 | $1,793,883 | $(133,899) | $1,659,984 |
Goose Hollow Multi-Strategy Income ETF | 17,369,842 | 387,007 | (57,276) | 329,731 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily attributable to wash sale activity.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024 were as follows:
| | | | | |
| | Distributions paid from |
| | Ordinary Income | Net Long Term Capital Gains | Total Taxable Distributions | Total Distributions Paid |

(7) Investment Risks
ETF Risk
The NAV of a Fund can fluctuate up or down, and you could lose money investing in the Fund if the prices of the securities owned by the Fund decline. In addition, a Fund may be subject to the following risks: (1) the market price of the Fund’s shares may trade above or below its NAV; (2) an active trading market for the Fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of the Fund’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Market and Geopolitical Risk
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Funds may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate-change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds. The coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and the aggressive responses taken by many governments, had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
(9) Subsequent Events
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of September 30, 2024.

Renewal of Management AgreementSeptember 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Goose Hollow Capital Management LLC
In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) held on August 30, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement between Goose Hollow Capital Management LLC (“GHCM”) and the Trust, with respect to the Goose Hollow Tactical Allocation ETF (the “Fund”). In considering the renewal of the investment advisory agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between GHCM and the Trust. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the investment advisory agreement on behalf of the Fund and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the renewal of the investment advisory agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board noted that GHCM was an investment adviser with $41 million in assets under management as of June 30, 2024. The Board reviewed the background information of the key personnel responsible for the Fund. The Board discussed the services GHCM provided the Fund, which included making investment decisions using macro-economic analysis with a focus on longer-term price changes. The Board noted that GHCM used a third-party firm for its risk management software that monitored position risk using various measures. The Board acknowledged that GHCM conducted daily monitoring and utilized internal investment checklists before making investment decisions as a practice for monitoring compliance. The Board reviewed GHCM’s best execution policy in selecting broker-dealers and noted that GHCM had a management committee that provided oversight of the firm’s brokerage practices. The Board noted that GHCM had no material compliance issues, no SEC or state regulator examination or investigation nor any material litigation or administrative action in the past 36 months. The Board concluded that it expected GHCM to continue to provide satisfactory service to the Fund and its shareholders.
Performance. The Board observed that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index, Bloomberg Cash Index, with a 16.95% return for the 1-year period. The Board remembered that the inception of the Fund occurred in November 2021, so there were no data for the 5-year and 10-year periods. The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

Renewal of Management AgreementSeptember 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Fees and Expenses. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee of 0.85% and net expense ratio of 1.14% were below the averages of its peer group. The Board discussed and considered the Fund’s advisory fee relative to its peer group. The Board concluded that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by GHCM and noted that there was a net loss for GHCM with regard to its management of the Fund. After discussion, the Board determined that excessive profitability was not an issue for GHCM at this time.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale would be realized in connection with the services provided to the Fund by GHCM. The Board discussed GHCM’s position on breakpoints and noted GHCM would continue to monitor the Fund’s asset levels as the Fund continued to grow.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from GHCM as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that approval of the renewal of the investment advisory agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Notes to Financial StatementsSeptember 30, 2024
(1) Organization
Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on July 26, 2017 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is comprised of several funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of Mindful Conservative ETF, Adaptive Core ETF, and Mohr Sector Nav ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are diversified actively-managed exchange-traded funds. The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of the Funds are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, currently 25,000 Shares, called Creation Units (“Creation Units”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of each Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Paralel Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 15
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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” including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
For the year ended September 30, 2024, Mohr Sector Nav ETF will be reimbursed $41,087 from Citi (the “sub-administrator”) as a result of a NAV error. This is included as Receivable due from sub-administrator on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
A. Investment Valuations
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds’ securities. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market as determined using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the execution of these procedures to the Advisor as fair value designee. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Funds have the ability to access.
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 16
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
• Level 2 - Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Common stocks and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last traded price or official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the fund is primarily traded. Funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last traded price.

B. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities’ gains and losses
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 17
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and dividend expense, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Funds is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on their current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.
The Funds may own shares of ETFs that may invest in real estate investments trusts (‘’REITs’’) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the ETF.
C. Cash
Idle cash may be swept into various interest-bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders net investment income, if any, at least quarterly and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
In addition, the Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
E. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a fund are allocated proportionally among all funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis.

(3) Investment Advisory and Other Contractual Services

Subject at all times to the oversight and approval of the Board, the Advisor is responsible for the overall management of the Funds. The Funds pay the Advisor a management fee of 0.70% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, calculated daily and paid monthly.
Tuttle Capital Management, LLC (“Tuttle”) served as subadvisor for the Funds until October 31, 2023, and was paid for its services directly by the Advisor, not the Funds. Tuttle’s contractual fee was 0.10% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective November 1, 2023, the Advisor assumed all sub-advisor duties for the Funds.
B. Administration, Custodian, Transfer Agent and Accounting Fees
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) serves as the sub-administrator, fund accountant, and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds pursuant to a Services Agreement. Citibank, N.A. serves as the custodian and transfer agent of the Funds pursuant to a Global Custodial and Agency Services Agreement.
Collaborative Fund Services LLC (“CFS”) serves as the administrator for the Funds and provides the Funds with various administrative services. For these services, the Funds pay CFS an administrative fee that is the greater of an annual minimum fee or an asset-based fee, which scales downward based upon net assets.
C. Distribution and Shareholder Services Fees
Effective July 22, 2024, the distributor changed from Foreside Fund Services, LLC to Paralel Distributors LLC. Paralel Distributors LLC is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Funds’ Shares. The Distributor is compensated by the Advisor in accordance with an ETF Distribution Agreement between the Advisor and the Distributor.
D. Compliance Services
Beacon Compliance Consulting provides compliance services to the Trust and receives a monthly fee paid by the Funds for these services.
E. Treasurer Fees
The Treasurer of the Trust receives a fee that is calculated monthly using each Fund’s net assets at month-end and is paid by the Funds on a quarterly basis as previously approved by the Board. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Funds paid a total of $10,025 to the Treasurer.

(5) Capital Share Transactions
Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Fund’s specified universe, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The transaction fees for each Fund are listed below:
| | | |
| Fee for In-Kind and Cash Purchases | | Maximum Additional Variable Charge for Cash Purchases(a) |
Mindful Conservative ETF | $250 | | 2.00% |
Adaptive Core ETF | $250 | | 2.00% |
Mohr Sector NAV ETF | $250 | | 2.00% |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind transactions are reflected as a receivable or a payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2024, there were no unsettled in-kind capital transactions.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Management of the Funds has reviewed the tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including U.S. federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
As of and during the year ended September 30, 2024, 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 on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
As of September 30, 2024, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:
| | | | |
| Tax Cost of Securities | Unrealized Appreciation | Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
Mindful Conservative ETF | $44,996,923 | $1,044,907 | $(32,335) | $1,012,572 |

Mohr Sector Nav ETF | 56,209,671 | 1,819,257 | (5,433) | 1,813,824 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily attributable to wash sale activity.

(7) Investment Risks
ETF Risk
The NAV of a Fund can fluctuate up or down, and you could lose money investing in the Fund if the prices of the securities owned by the Fund decline. In addition, a Fund may be subject to the following risks; (1) the market price of the Fund’s shares may trade above or below its NAV; (2) an active trading market for the Fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of the Fund’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Market and Geopolitical Risk
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Funds may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, may result in market volatility
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 23
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds. The COVID-19 global pandemic had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
(8) Concentration of Investments
As of September 30, 2024, the Mohr Sector Nav ETF’s investment in the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF represented 26.72% of the Fund’s net assets. The financial statements of the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF can be found by accessing the fund’s website at http://www.invesco.com.
(9) Subsequent Events
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of September 30, 2024.

Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2022.

Renewal of Management AgreementSeptember 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Retireful, LLC (Adaptive Core ETF, Mindful Conservative ETF and Mohr Sector Nav ETF)
In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) held on August 23, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreements between Retireful, LLC d/b/a Mohr Capital Management (“Retireful”) and the Trust, with respect to the Adaptive Core ETF, Mindful Conservative ETF and Mohr Sector Nav ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). In considering the renewal of the investment advisory agreements, the Board received materials specifically relating to the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the renewal of the investment advisory agreements between Retireful and the Trust. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Funds and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the renewal of the investment advisory agreements.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board noted that Retireful had approximately $383,450,000 in assets under management as of June 30, 2024. The Board reviewed the business experience of the key personnel servicing the Funds. The Board reviewed the investment advisory services provided by Retireful, including selection of investments, placing trades, monitoring best execution, and monitoring compliance. The Board noted that Retireful utilized an order management system and various reports to monitor compliance with each Fund’s investment limitations. The Board observed that Retireful selected broker-dealers for portfolio transactions in accordance with its best execution policies and procedures. The Board discussed the two ongoing SEC examinations of Retireful. The Board noted that Retireful did not report any material compliance issues, any material litigation nor administrative action. The Board concluded that it expected Retireful to continue to provide satisfactory service to the Funds and their shareholders.
Performance.
Adaptive Core ETF. The Board observed that the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the 1-year period ended June 30, 2024 and since inception. The Board acknowledged Retireful’s assertion that the 1-year period underperformance could be attributed to the Fund having a
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 27
Renewal of Management Agreement (continued)September 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
more value-oriented constituency and not having concentration in the top technology stocks. The Board further acknowledged Retireful’s explanation that the underperformance since inception could be attributed to the Fund’s shorter time frame and a period of being overly defensive as the market rallied. The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was acceptable and agreed to continue to monitor performance.
Mindful Conservative ETF. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Dow Jones U.S. Moderately Conservative Portfolio Index, for the 1-year period ended June 30, 2024. The Board observed Retireful’s explanation that the Fund’s underperformance could be attributed to the benchmark’s greater weighting in equities and its higher risk profile. The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was acceptable and agreed to continue to monitor performance.
Mohr Sector Nav ETF. The Board observed that the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Index ETF, for the 1-year period ended June 30, 2024 and since inception period. The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses.
Adaptive Core ETF. The Board observed that the advisory fee with respect to the Fund of 0.70% and the net expense ratio of 1.17% as of June 30, 2024 were below the averages of the peer group identified by Retireful. The Board concluded that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Mindful Conservative ETF. The Board observed that the advisory fee with respect to the Fund of 0.70% and net expense ratio of 1.07% as of June 30, 2024 were below the averages of its peer group selected by Retireful. The Board concluded that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Mohr Sector Nav ETF. The Board observed that the advisory fee with respect to the Fund of 0.70% was in line with the average advisory fee of the Fund’s peer group selected by Retireful. The Board further observed that the Fund’s net expense ratio of 1.30% as of June 30, 2024 was below the average of its peer group. The Board concluded that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by Retireful and noted that there was a modest profit for Retireful with regard to its management of each Fund. After discussion, the Board determined that excessive profitability was not an issue for Retireful at this time.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale would be realized in connection with the services provided to the Fund by Retireful. The Board noted that the current fee schedule did not currently provide breakpoints, but that Retireful indicated it was amenable to the discussion of adding breakpoints as the Funds’ assets experienced growth.

Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Retireful as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreements, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that approval of the renewal of the investment advisory agreements were in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.

(1) Organization
Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on July 26, 2017 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is comprised of several funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of the Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF, Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF, Rareview Systematic Equity ETF, and Review Total Return Bond ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are diversified actively-managed exchange-traded funds. The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of each Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of each Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Rareview Systematic Equity ETF is a commodity pool under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act and its advisor, Rareview Capital, LLC (the “Advisor”), is registered as a commodity pool operator with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, currently 10,000 Shares, called Creation Units (“Creation Units”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of each Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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” including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuations
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds’ securities. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market as determined using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the execution of these procedures to the Advisor as fair value designee. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Funds have the ability to access.
• Level 2 - Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 26
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Shares of closed-end funds, unlike those of open-end investment companies, are not redeemable by the Funds on a daily basis. A closed-end fund’s value increases or decreases due to various factors, including, but not limited to general market conditions, the market’s confidence in the closed-end fund advisor’s ability to generate desired investment returns, and investor confidence in the closed-end fund’s underlying assets. A closed-end fund’s shares that are traded on an exchange may be bought or sold at a market price that is lower or higher than the per-share value of the closed-end fund’s underlying assets; when this occurs, the shares are considered to be traded at a discount or premium, respectively. Common stocks, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last traded price or official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the fund is primarily traded. Funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last traded price. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at their settlement price on the exchange on which they are traded and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Exchange-traded options contracts are valued at the closing price or last sale price on the primary instrument for that option as recorded by an approved pricing service and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. If an option is not traded on the valuation date, exchange traded options are valued at the composite price. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded.
Fixed income securities, including those with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. In certain countries, market maker prices are used since they are the most representative of the daily trading activity. In the case of certain foreign exchanges, the closing price reported by the exchange (which may sometimes be referred to by the exchange or one or more pricing agents as the “official close” or the “official closing price” or other similar term) will be considered the most recent sale price. Securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 27
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
between the last reported bid and asked quotes or the last sale price where appropriate; otherwise, fair value will be determined in accordance with fair value procedures approved by the Board.
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
The Funds did not hold any Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2024.
The following table provides the fair value measurement as of September 30, 2024, while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for each Fund:

(a) Other financial instruments include derivative instruments, such as futures contracts which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument and written options, which are valued at fair value.
B. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities’ gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and dividend expense, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Funds is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on its current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.
The Funds may own shares of ETFs that may invest in real estate investments trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the ETF.
C. Cash
Idle cash may be swept into various interest-bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 29
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF, Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF and Rareview Total Return Bond ETF intend to distribute to their shareholders net investment income, if any, at least monthly. Rareview Systematic Equity ETF intends to distribute to its shareholders net investment income, if any, at least semi-annually. The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders any net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
In addition, the Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
E. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a fund are allocated proportionally among all funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis.
F. Short Sales
The Funds may engage in short sales against the box (i.e., where the Funds own or have an unconditional right to acquire at no additional cost a security substantially similar to the security sold short) for hedging purposes to limit exposure to a possible market decline in the value of their portfolio securities. In a short sale, the Funds sell a borrowed security and have a corresponding obligation to the lender to return the identical security. The Funds may also incur dividend and interest expense on securities sold short. When the Funds engage in a short sale, the Funds record a liability for securities sold short and record an asset equal to the proceeds received. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the securities sold short. To borrow the security, the Funds also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. There were no open short positions as of September 30, 2024.

G. Derivative Instruments:
All open derivative positions at year end are reflected on each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Funds, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Futures Contracts:
The Funds may enter into futures contracts for the purpose of hedging existing portfolio securities or securities they intend to purchase against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest conditions. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Funds recognize an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as variation margin. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Funds and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The gross notional amount of futures contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2024, and the monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the year ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| Outstanding Notional Amount (000) | | Monthly Average Notional Amount (000) |

Rareview Systematic Equity ETF | 35,658 | | — | | 24,620 | | 6,162 |
Options Contracts:
Purchased Options – The Funds pay a premium which is included in “Investments, at value” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 31
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. When a put option is exercised or closed, premiums paid for purchasing options are offset against proceeds to determine the realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Funds bear the risk of loss of the premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.
Written Options – The Funds receive a premium which is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. The risk associated with writing an option is that the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of an underlying asset and are required to buy or sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price different from the current value. As of September 30, 2024, the Funds hold deposits at brokers for written options collateral, which is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The gross notional amount of purchased and written options outstanding as of September 30, 2024, and the monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the year ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:

Management of the Funds has reviewed the tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including U.S. federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
As of and during the year ended September 30, 2024, 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 on the Statements of Operations.

(7) Investment Risks
ETF Risk
The NAV of a Fund can fluctuate up or down, and you could lose money investing in the Fund if the prices of the securities owned by the Fund decline. In addition, a Fund may be subject to the following risks: (1) the market price of the Fund’s shares may trade above or below its NAV; (2) an active trading market for the Fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of the Fund’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Market and Geopolitical Risk
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Funds may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds. The COVID-19 global pandemic had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
(8) Subsequent Events
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of September 30, 2024.

Renewal and Approval of Management AgreementSeptember 30, 2024
Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Rareview Capital LLC (Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF and Rareview Tax Advantaged ETF)
In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) held on August 23, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement between Rareview Capital LLC (“Rareview”) and the Trust, with respect to the Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF (“Fixed Income ETF”) and Rareview Tax Advantaged ETF (“Tax Advantaged ETF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). In considering the renewal of the investment advisory agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between Rareview and the Trust. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the investment advisory agreement on behalf of the Funds and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the renewal of the investment advisory agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board noted that Rareview was an SEC registered investment adviser with approximately $400 million in assets under management as of June 30, 2024. The Board acknowledged that there were no changes to the key professionals servicing the Funds. The Board reviewed the investment advisory services provided by Rareview, noting that Rareview provided portfolio management services, including asset allocation and risk management services to the Funds. The Board noted that, to monitor compliance, Rareview provided monthly reports regarding compliance with each Fund’s investment limitations, which included information with respect to each Fund’s positions, investments and trading activity, among others. The Board reviewed the factors Rareview considered when selecting a broker-dealer to obtain best execution, noting that Rareview implemented an operational framework to monitor the selection of broker-dealers on an ongoing basis. The Board observed that Rareview reported no material compliance issues, material litigation or administrative action, nor any regulatory examinations since the last renewal of the advisory agreement. The Board concluded that it expected Rareview to continue to provide satisfactory service to the Funds and their shareholders.

Performance.
Fixed Income ETF. The Board noted that the Fixed Income ETF outperformed its benchmark index, 50% ICE BofA 5-10Y US Corp TR USD and 50% Markit iBoxx Liquid High Yield TR USD, with a 12.02% return for the 1-year period ended June 30, 2024 and 4.45% return since inception. The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.
Tax Advantaged Income ETF. The Board noted that the Tax Advantaged Income ETF outperformed its benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal TR USD, for the one-year period ended June 30, 2024 with returns of 9.72%. The Board further noted that the Fund trailed its benchmark since inception. The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was acceptable and agreed to continue to monitor performance.
Fees and Expenses.
Fixed Income ETF. The Board observed that the advisory fee with respect to the Fixed Income ETF of 0.97% was above the average of its peer group selected by Rareview, but below the high of 1.10%. The Board acknowledged Rareview’s assertion that the advisory fee was lower or in line with actively managed bond funds. The Board further observed that the net expense ratio of 1.50% as of June 30, 2024 was below the average of its peer group. The Board noted Rareview’s intention to renew the expense limitation agreement for an additional year and concluded that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Tax Advantaged Income ETF. The Board observed that the advisory fee with respect to the Tax Advantaged Income ETF of 0.75% and net expense ratio of 1.25% as of June 30, 2024 were below the averages of its peer group selected by Rareview. The Board noted Rareview’s intention to renew the expense limitation agreement for an additional year and concluded that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by Rareview and noted that there was a modest profit for Rareview with regard to its management of the Funds. After discussion, the Board determined that excessive profitability was not an issue for Rareview at this time.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale would be realized in connection with the services provided to the Funds by Rareview. The Board noted that there were no breakpoints at this time. The Board discussed Rareview’s position on breakpoints and agreed to continue to monitor each Fund’s asset levels and revisit the matter as the Funds continued to grow.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Rareview as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement, and as assisted by the advice of

In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) held on May 17, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the approval of an investment advisory agreement between Rareview Capital LLC (“Rareview”) and the Trust, with respect to the Rareview Total Return Bond ETF (the “Fund”). In considering the approval of the investment advisory agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the approval of the investment advisory agreement between Rareview and the Trust. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the investment advisory agreement on behalf of the Fund and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the approval of the investment advisory agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board noted its familiarity with Rareview as the investment adviser to other series in the Trust. The Board reviewed the business experience of each of the key persons that would service the Fund, noting the extensive experience of each. The Board noted the various services that Rareview would provide for the Fund, including the implementation and execution of investment decisions and selecting the Fund’s investments in accordance with its investment objective, policies and restrictions. The Board acknowledged the routine examination Rareview underwent in April of 2021 with immaterial deficiencies and the steps that Rareview has taken to address all comments. The Board noted that Rareview reported no compliance issues, or any material litigation or administrative actions in the past 36 months. The Board reviewed the quantitative and qualitative factors that Rareview took into account in its selection of broker-dealers for portfolio transactions. The Board concluded that Rareview had sufficient quality and depth of personnel and resources to perform its duties under the proposed investment advisory agreement in a manner and at a level that was consistent with the Board’s expectations.

Performance. The Board noted that there was no prior performance of the Fund for the Board to evaluate.
Fees and Expenses. The Board discussed the proposed advisory fee of 0.67% and net expense ratio of 0.67% for the Fund. The Board noted that the advisory fee and net expense ratio was higher than the average and median of the Fund’s peer group identified by Rareview. The Board acknowledged Rareview’s assertion that Fund’s flexible strategy and the investments of the Fund required a higher degree of expertise to analyze, execute and monitor. The Board noted that Rareview intended to have an expense limitation agreement in place with respect to the Fund. The Board considered the services to be provided by Rareview, as well as the costs of providing such services and, after discussion, the Board concluded that the proposed fees were not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board discussed that Rareview anticipated to earn a reasonable profit from its relationship with the Fund during the first two years. The Board determined that excessive profitability was not an issue for the Fund at this time.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Rareview would realize economies of scale during the initial period of the investment advisory agreement. The Board noted that Rareview was open to consider breakpoints as the Fund grew in assets under management.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Rareview as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that approval of the investment advisory agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its future shareholders.

Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on July 26, 2017 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is comprised of several funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of The SPAC and New Issue ETF (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified actively-managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund’s prospectus provides a description of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of the Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange (“Nasdaq”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, currently 25,000 Shares, called Creation Units (“Creation Units”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 13
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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 Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Payment from affiliate – For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Fund was reimbursed $93,250 from Tuttle Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”), as a result of a NAV error. This is included in capital transactions on the Fund’s Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
A. Investment Valuations
The Fund holds investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Fund’s securities. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market as determined using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the execution of these procedures to the Advisor as fair value designee. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Fund would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Fund’s investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access.
• Level 2 - Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 14
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Common stocks, closed-end funds, and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last traded price or official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the Fund is primarily traded. The Fund traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last traded price. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments, based on their valuation inputs, as of September 30, 2024, while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for the Fund:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total Investments |

The following is a summary of quantitative information about significant unobservable valuation inputs approved by the Fair Value Committee in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board for Level 3 Fair Value Measurements for investments held at September 30, 2024.
| | | | | |
Asset | Fair Value at September 30, 2024 | Valuation Techniques | Unobservable Input(s)(a) | Value Range/Value | Weighted Average |
SPAC Founder Shares and Private Placement Units | $125,302 | Discount to Public Share Price | Discount for lack of marketability | 85% discount to Public Share Price | 85% discount to Public Share Price |

(a) A change to the unobservable input may result in a significant change to the value of the investment as follows:
| | |
Unobservable Input | Impact to Value if Input Increases | Impact to value if Input Decreases |
Discount for lack of marketability | Decrease | Increase |
Final Residual Value | Increase | Decrease |
Unlisted Transactions | Increase | Decrease |
B. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities’ gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and dividend expense, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Fund is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, based on its current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which it invests.
C. Cash
Idle cash may be swept into various interest-bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 16
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
The Fund maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
The Fund may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.
E. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a fund are allocated proportionally among all funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis.
(3) Investment Advisory and Other Contractual Services
A. Investment Advisory Fees
The Advisor serves as the Funds’ investment advisor pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. Subject at all times to the oversight and approval of the Board, the Advisor is responsible for the overall management of the Fund. The Fund pays the Advisor a management fee of 0.83% of its average daily net assets, calculated daily and paid monthly.
The Advisor contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, to ensure that Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of any (i) front-end or contingent deferred loads, (ii) brokerage fees and commissions, (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses, (iv) fees and expenses associated with instruments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example options and swap fees and expenses); (v) borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), (vi) taxes, (vii) other fees related to underlying investments, (such as option fees and expenses or swap fees and expenses); or (viii) extraordinary expenses such as litigation (which may include indemnification of Fund officers and trustees or contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the Advisor)) would not exceed 0.95%. This expense limitation agreement was terminated

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
on February 1, 2024. The Advisor retains its right to receive reimbursement of any excess expense payments paid by it pursuant to this Agreement for three years from the date on which the waiver or reimbursement occurs, if such reimbursement can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits or the expense limits in place at the time of recoupment.
As of September 30, 2024, the Advisor may recoup amounts from the Fund as follows:
| | | | |
| Waived/ Reimbursed FY 2022 Expires 09/30/2025 | Waived/ Reimbursed FY 2023 Expires 09/30/2026 | Waived/ Reimbursed FY 2024 Expires 09/30/2027 | Total |
The SPAC and New Issue ETF | $182,529 | $195,405 | $54,619 | $432,553 |
B. Administration, Custodian, Transfer Agent and Accounting Fees
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) serves as the sub-administrator, fund accountant, and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund pursuant to a Services Agreement. Citibank, N.A. serves as the custodian and transfer agent of the Fund pursuant to a Global Custodial and Agency Services Agreement.
Collaborative Fund Services LLC (“CFS”) serves as the administrator for the Fund and provides the Fund with various administrative services. For these services, the Fund pays CFS an administrative fee that is the greater of an annual minimum fee or an asset-based fee, which scales downward based upon net assets.
C. Distribution and Shareholder Services Fees
Foreside Fund Services, LLC is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Fund’s Shares. The Distributor is compensated by the Advisor in accordance with an ETF Distribution Agreement between the Advisor and the Distributor.
D. Compliance Services
Beacon Compliance Consulting provides compliance services to the Trust and receives a monthly fee paid by the Fund for these services.
E. Treasurer Fees
The Treasurer of the Trust receives a fee that is calculated monthly using the Fund’s net assets at month-end and is paid by the Funds on a quarterly basis as previously approved by the Board. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund paid a total of $3,600 to the Treasurer.
F. General

(4) Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments, for the year ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:
| | |
| Purchases | Sales |
The SPAC and New Issue ETF | $34,982,075 | $39,735,719 |
There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities during the year ended September 30, 2024.
(5) Capital Share Transactions
Shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Fund’s specified universe, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The transaction fees for the Fund are listed below:
| | | |
| Fee for In-Kind and Cash Purchases | | Maximum Additional Variable Charge for Cash Purchases(a) |
The SPAC and New Issue ETF | $250 | | 2.00% |
(a) As a percentage of the amount invested.
From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind transactions are reflected as a receivable or a payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of September 30, 2024, there were no unsettled in-kind capital transactions.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 19
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
Management of the Fund has reviewed the tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including U.S. federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
As of and during the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
As of September 30, 2024, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:
| | | | |
| Tax Cost of Securities | Unrealized Appreciation | Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
The SPAC and New Issue ETF | $11,041,532 | $202,843 | $(212,763) | $(9,920) |
The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily attributable to wash sale activity, partnership investments, and passive foreign investment companies mark to market.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| Distributions paid from |
| Ordinary Income | Net Capital Gains | | Total Taxable Distributions | | Total Distributions Paid |

(7) Investment Risks
ETF Risk
The NAV of the Fund can fluctuate up or down, and you could lose money investing in the Fund if the prices of the securities owned by the Fund decline. In addition, the Fund may be subject to the following risks: (1) the market price of the Fund’s shares may trade above or below its NAV; (2) an active trading market for the Fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of the Fund’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 21
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
Market and Geopolitical Risk
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate-change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund. The coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic, had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
SPAC Risk
The Fund invests in SPACs and companies that have completed an IPO. SPACs are companies that may be unseasoned and lack a trading or operational history, a track record of reporting to investors, and widely available research coverage. The Fund may purchase SPACs through an IPO. IPOs are thus often subject to extreme price volatility and speculative trading. These stocks may have above-average price appreciation in connection with the IPO. In addition, IPOs may share similar illiquidity risks of private equity and venture capital. The free float shares held by the public in an IPO are typically a small percentage of the market capitalization. The ownership of many IPOs often includes large holdings by venture capital and private equity investors who seek to sell their shares in the public market in the months following an IPO when shares restricted by lock-up are released, causing greater volatility and possible downward pressure during the time that locked-up shares are released. Public stockholders of SPACs may not be afforded a meaningful opportunity to vote on a proposed initial business combination because certain stockholders, including stockholders affiliated with the management of the SPAC, may have sufficient voting power, and a financial incentive, to approve such a transaction without
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 22
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2024
support from public stockholders. As a result, a SPAC may complete a business combination even though a majority of its public stockholders do not support such a combination. The Fund may invest in vehicles formed by SPAC sponsors to hold founder shares, which may be subject to forfeiture or expire worthless and which generally have less liquidity than SPAC shares issued in an IPO. The Fund may experience material losses as a result of forfeited founder shares or founder shares that expire worthless.
Additional investment risks are outlined in the Fund’s prospectus.
(8) Subsequent Events
Management of the Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of September 30, 2024.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits.

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 September 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and private investments. 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.
