Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance numbers are net of all Fund operating expenses.

For the period July 16, 2018 through December 31, 2018, PPM Core Plus Fixed Income Fund underperformed its benchmark providing a return of 0.07% (Net) for Institutional Class shares compared to 1.23% (Net) for the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.

The Fund’s underweight allocation to sovereign debt was the primary contributor to relative return, while the Fund’s security selection and overweight allocation to investment grade (“IG”) corporate bonds and high yield bonds were the primary detractors from relative return. However, in the fourth quarter we tactically added to our overweight position in IG corporate bonds as yield spreads became more attractive.

We believe IG market fundamentals remain constructive. The US gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5% in 2019, with areas of concern (e.g. housing) anticipated to represent a small portion of overall GDP. In our view, earnings will likely slow down absent a boost from tax reform. We will continue to seek opportunities to increase the allocation to IG corporate bonds if spreads continue to widen.

For the period July 16, 2018 through December 31, 2018, PPM Credit Fund underperformed its benchmark providing a return of -1.11% (Net) for Institutional Class shares compared to -0.35% (Net) for ICE BofAML Custom 85/15 Index.

The Fund’s out of index allocations to US Treasury securities and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) were the primary contributors to relative return over the period. The Fund’s security selection within corporate bonds was the primary detractor from relative return since the Fund’s inception. In the fourth quarter we tactically added to our position in investment grade (“IG”) corporate bonds as yield spreads became more attractive.

We believe IG market fundamentals remain constructive. The US gross domestic product (“GDP”) is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5% in 2019, with areas of concern (e.g. housing) anticipated to represent a small portion of overall GDP. In our view, earnings growth will likely slow in 2019. We subsequently trimmed risk into January strength. We will continue to seek opportunities to increase the allocation to IG corporate bonds and to add risk if yield spreads continue to widen.

The graph shows the change in value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the Fund's Institutional Class shares over 10 years, or since inception if the inception is less than 10 years, as well as the Fund's benchmark(s) performance for the same period.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance numbers are net of all Fund operating expenses.

Composition as of December 31, 2018:
Senior Loan Interests	94.1	%
Corporate Bonds and Notes	3.5
Investment Companies	0.1
Short Term Investments	2.0
Securities Lending Collateral	0.3
Total Investments	100.0	%

For the period May 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, PPM Floating Rate Income Fund underperformed its benchmark providing a return of -3.05% (Net) for Institutional Class shares compared to -1.40% (Net) for the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index.

Trading costs, initial loan settlement timing and cash holdings associated with the Fund’s launch detracted from performance since the Fund’s inception.

In our view, the US economic story through 2018 continued to be relatively solid, especially in the first half of 2018, although there were some signs of slowing. Into 2019, we find that jobs numbers remain solid, inflation appears under control, earnings are encouraging and defaults are low. We also believe that the overall decline in market prices of loans seen in the last quarter of 2018 has been driven by significant fund outflows rather than underlying changes in fundamentals. Our outlook includes risks consistent with 2018 themes. A global growth slowdown and growing European/Brexit headwinds could cause difficulty, and any slowdown could be potentially exacerbated by trade and tariff policy. Central banks also remain a risk, with the market anticipating fewer foreign interest rate increases, as well as potential rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve in 2019.

For the period July 16, 2018 through December 31, 2018, PPM High Yield Core Fund underperformed its benchmark providing a return of -4.74% (Net) for Institutional Class shares compared to -2.84% (Net) for the ICE BofAML US High Yield Index.

The Fund’s allocation to corporate loans and bonds in the leisure industry were the largest contributors for the period, while the Fund’s allocation to equity-like investments and bonds in the energy industry were the largest detractors.

We expect economic and earnings growth to slow from 2018’s brisk pace but to remain positive and supportive for HY performance in 2019. As of the date of this report, the HY market does not appear to have 2008 level imbalances, and we do not believe leverage is extended for most of the market. We find defaults remain quite low, and while the distress ratio has increased, it remains below long-term averages. We expect HY issuance to remain low during 2019.

While the HY market experienced significant outflows in 2018, as of the date of this report, we believe investors could reverse course given currently elevated yields. Risks to our outlook include a sharper economic and profit slowdown, potentially exacerbated by trade disputes. Further declines in commodity prices are also a risk. Central banks are a concern, with the market anticipating fewer foreign interest rate increases and potential rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve in 2019.

For the period July 16, 2018 through December 31, 2018, PPM Long Short Credit Fund underperformed its benchmark providing a return of -3.08% (Net) for Institutional Class shares compared to 0.99% (Net) for the ICE BofAML US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. As the Fund is benchmarked against a cash equivalent benchmark, the Fund was positioned almost entirely out of index throughout the period. The Fund’s short credit positions in credit default swap agreements on indices (“CDX”) and out of index allocation to asset-backed securities (“ABS”) contributed most to the Fund’s performance since the Fund’s inception. Long credit positions in corporate bonds, notably energy related issues, detracted most from Fund performance. In the fourth quarter we tactically added to our overweight position in investment grade (“IG”) corporate bonds as yield spreads became more attractive.

We believe IG and high yield (“HY”) market fundamentals remain constructive. The US gross domestic product (“GDP”) is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5% in 2019, with areas of concern (e.g. housing) anticipated to represent a small portion of overall GDP. In our view, earnings will likely slow down absent aa boost from tax reform.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, PPM Strategic Income Fund underperformed its primary benchmark providing a return of - 3.76% (Net) for Institutional Class shares compared to 0.01% (Net) for the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund also underperformed the returns of its other benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned -2.08% (Net) and -1.20% (Net), respectively. The Fund also underperformed its blended benchmark return of -1.02%. The blended benchmark is comprised of 45% Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, 45% Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index, and 10% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (“Custom Index”).

Effective July 2, 2018, PPM Strategic Income Fund acquired JNL/PPM America Strategic Income Fund. See Note 9 in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional details about the reorganization.

For the period January 1, 2018 through July 1, 2018, the Fund was sub-advised by PPM America, Inc. and was the sole series of JNL Strategic Income Fund LLC. During the period, the Fund provided a return of -1.73% (Net) for Class A shares compared to -1.62% (Net) for the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, 0.16% (Net) for the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index, - 1.46% (Net) for the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index and -0.79% (Net) for the Fund’s Custom Index. The Fund’s out of index allocation to corporate loans was the primary contributor to relative return while the Fund’s security selection within corporate bonds and underweight allocation to US Treasury securities were the primary detractors during this period. In the fourth quarter we tactically added to our overweight position in investment grade “IG” corporate bonds as yield spreads became more attractive.

Following the reorganization on July 2, 2018, PPM America, Inc. assumed sole management responsibility for the Fund. Class A shares were exchanged for Institutional Shares and the total net annual fund operating expense ratio and management fee were lowered. For the period July 2, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund provided a return of -2.06% (Net) for Institutional Class shares compared to 1.66% (Net) for the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, 2.24% (Net) for the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index, 0.26% (Net) for the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, and -.23% (Net) for the Fund’s Custom Index.

The Fund’s overweight allocation to asset-backed securities was the primary contributor, while the Fund’s overweight to corporate bonds and out of index allocation to equity-like investments were the primary detractors from relative return since the Fund’s July 2, 2018 inception date.

We believe IG and HY market fundamentals remain constructive. The US gross domestic product (“GDP”) is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5% in 2019, with areas of concern (e.g. housing) anticipated to represent a small portion of overall GDP. In our view, earnings will likely slow down absent a boost from tax reform.

As of the date of this report, the HY market does not appear to have 2008 level imbalances, and we do not believe leverage is extended for most of the market.

For the period May 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, PPM Large Cap Value Fund underperformed its benchmark by posting a return of -12.45% (Net) for Institutional Class shares compared to -6.07% (Net) for the S&P 500 Value Index.

The Fund’s underperformance relative to the S&P 500 Value Index can be attributed to both individual security selection and the related sector allocation as a result of the Fund’s bottom-up security selection process.

Positive security selection influences on relative performance included names in industrials (Lockheed Martin Corp. (“Lockheed”) up 0.1% and not holding General Electric Co. down 45.1%) and materials (underweight Berry Global Group Inc. (“Berry Global”) down 1.5%). Negative security selection influences on relative performance included names in financials (Bank OZK down 50.7% and Lincoln National Corp. down 26.7%) and energy (Halliburton Co. down 49.1%).

Positive sector influence on relative performance primarily included overweight positions in consumer discretionary and health care. Negative sector influence on relative performance included underweight positions in consumer staples and real estate.

Positions added to the Fund during the period included AES Corp., Alliance Data Systems Corp., Berry Global, Leidos Holdings Inc. and Vistra Energy Corp. Positions sold included Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., HP Inc., Lockheed and Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc.

Relative to the benchmark during the period, the Fund’s overweight positions include health care, energy, financials, consumer discretionary and communication services. The Fund’s underweight positions include consumer staples, real estate, information technology, utilities, industrials and materials.

We see the US equity market environment as supportive going into 2019, though trade remains a significant wild card. Following the correction in the fourth quarter, equity market valuations and earnings growth expectations have been reset near long term averages. Although late cycle fears persist, consensus expectations are for only a slight moderation in the economic growth seen in 2018. In our view, it appears that a recession is unlikely in 2019, but we would expect increased market volatility amid tariff and trade uncertainty, as well as US Federal Reserve (“Fed”) overtightening fears. Fed policy was less accommodative in 2018. Going forward, the pace of monetary policy could be more dovish than expected if benign inflation expectations continue despite the much improved labor market. Overall, we remain optimistic going into 2019.

The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Russell MidCap Value Index was attributed to both individual security selection and the related sector allocation as a result of the Fund’s bottom-up security selection process.

Certain comments in this annual report are based on current management expectations and are considered “forward-looking statements.” Actual future results, however, may prove to be different from our expectations. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “anticipate” and other similar terms. We cannot promise future returns. Our opinions are a reflection of our best judgment at the time this report is compiled, and we disclaim any obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

The discussion of the Funds’ investments and investment strategy (including current investment themes, the portfolio managers’ research and investment process, and portfolio characteristics) represents the Funds’ investments and the views of the portfolio managers and PPM America, Inc., the Funds’ investment adviser, at the time of this report, and are subject to change without notice.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance shown. All returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. The value of your investment in a Fund could go down as well as up. Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including market, credit, interest rate and liquidity. Investments in asset-backed securities including residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and other structured finance investments, are subject to declines in prepayment activity during times of rising interest rates, which may lengthen the duration of the security. Investments in derivatives can be highly volatile, and the gains or losses from derivatives can be substantially greater than those that would have occurred if a Fund had not used such instruments. Additionally, a Fund’s use of derivative instruments may involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional investments including leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market, counterparty and credit risk. Investments in equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed-income securities. As a result of such factors as a company’s business performance, investor perceptions, stock market trends and general economic conditions, the price of equity or equity-related securities will fluctuate and can decline and reduce the value of a portfolio investing in equity or equity-related securities.

(a)The Adviser has deemed this security which is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to be liquid based on procedures approved by the PPM Funds' Board of Trustees. Determinations of liquidity are unaudited. As of December 31, 2018, the value and the percentage of net assets of these liquid securities were $10,776,327 and 21.5%, respectively.

(b)Security has a variable rate. Interest rates reset periodically. Rate stated was in effect as of December 31, 2018. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread are presented. Certain variable rate securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread because they are determined by the issuer, remarketing agent, or offering documents and are based on current market conditions. The coupon rate for securities with certain features outlined in the offering documents may vary from the stated reference rate and spread. This includes, but is not limited to, securities with deferred rates, contingent distributions, caps, floors, and fixed-rate to float-rate features. In addition, variable rates for government and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are determined by tranches of underlying mortgage-backed security pools’ cash flows into securities and pass-through rates which reflects the rate earned on the asset pool after management and guarantee fees are paid to the securitizing corporation. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

(c)The interest rate for this security is inversely affected by upgrades or downgrades to the credit rating of the issuer.

(d)All or a portion of the security was on loan as of December 31, 2018.

(e)Perpetual security. Next contractual call date presented, if applicable.

(a)Security has a variable rate. Interest rates reset periodically. Rate stated was in effect as of December 31, 2018. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread are presented. Certain variable rate securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread because they are determined by the issuer, remarketing agent, or offering documents and are based on current market conditions. The coupon rate for securities with certain features outlined in the offering documents may vary from the stated reference rate and spread. This includes, but is not limited to, securities with deferred rates, contingent distributions, caps, floors, and fixed-rate to float-rate features. In addition, variable rates for government and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are determined by tranches of underlying mortgage-backed security pools’ cash flows into securities and pass-through rates which reflects the rate earned on the asset pool after management and guarantee fees are paid to the securitizing corporation. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

liquid securities were $854,562 and 1.7%, respectively.

(c)All or a portion of the security was on loan as of December 31, 2018.

(d)Security has a variable rate. Interest rates reset periodically. Rate stated was in effect as of December 31, 2018. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread are presented. Certain variable rate securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread because they are determined by the issuer, remarketing agent, or offering documents and are based on current market conditions. The coupon rate for securities with certain features outlined in the offering documents may vary from the stated reference rate and spread. This includes, but is not limited to, securities with deferred rates, contingent distributions, caps, floors, and fixed-rate to float-rate features. In addition, variable rates for government and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are determined by tranches of underlying mortgage-backed security pools’ cash flows into securities and pass-through rates which reflects the rate earned on the asset pool after management and guarantee fees are paid to the securitizing corporation. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

(e)This senior loan will settle after December 31, 2018. The reference rate and spread presented will go into effect upon settlement.

(f)Security fair valued in good faith as a Level 3 security in accordance with the procedures approved by the PPM Funds' Board of Trustees.

(c)Perpetual security. Next contractual call date presented, if applicable.

(d)The Adviser has deemed this security which is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to be liquid based on procedures approved by the PPM Funds' Board of Trustees.

(e)Issuer was in bankruptcy and/or was in default relating to principal and/or interest. Partial or no payments were paid on the last interest or dividend date. The aggregate value of these securities represented 1.1% of the Fund’s net assets.

(f)Security fair valued in good faith as a Level 3 security in accordance with the procedures approved by the PPM Funds' Board of Trustees. Good faith fair valued securities are classified for Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement" based on the applicable valuation inputs.

The coupon rate for securities with certain features outlined in the offering documents may vary from the stated reference rate and spread. This includes, but is not limited to, securities with deferred rates, contingent distributions, caps, floors, and fixed-rate to float-rate features. In addition, variable rates for government and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are determined by tranches of underlying mortgage-backed security pools’ cash flows into securities and pass-through rates which reflects the rate earned on the asset pool after management and guarantee fees are paid to the securitizing corporation. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

(l)Convertible security.

(m)This senior loan will settle after December 31, 2018. The reference rate and spread presented will go into effect upon settlement.

(a)Non-income producing security.

(b)All or a portion of the security is pledged or segregated as collateral.

(c)The Adviser has deemed this security which is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to be liquid based on procedures approved by the PPM Funds' Board of Trustees. Determinations of liquidity are unaudited. As of December 31, 2018, the value and the percentage of net assets of these liquid securities were $14,948,196 and 30.8%, respectively.

(d)Security has a variable rate. Interest rates reset periodically. Rate stated was in effect as of December 31, 2018. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread are presented. Certain variable rate securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread because they are determined by the issuer, remarketing agent, or offering documents and are based on current market conditions. The coupon rate for securities with certain features outlined in the offering documents may vary from the stated reference rate and spread. This includes, but is not limited to, securities with deferred rates, contingent distributions, caps, floors, and fixed-rate to float-rate features. In addition, variable rates for government and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are determined by tranches of underlying mortgage-backed security pools’ cash flows into securities and pass-through rates which reflects the rate earned on the asset pool after management and guarantee fees are paid to the securitizing corporation. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

(e)Issuer was in bankruptcy and/or was in default relating to principal and/or interest. Partial or no payments were paid on the last interest or dividend date.

(f)The interest rate for this security is inversely affected by upgrades or downgrades to the credit rating of the issuer.

(m)Security fair valued in good faith as a Level 3 security in accordance with the procedures approved by the PPM Funds' Board of Trustees. Good faith fair valued securities are classified for Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement" based on the applicable valuation inputs.

(a)The Adviser has deemed this security which is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to be liquid based on procedures approved by the PPM Funds' Board of Trustees. Determinations of liquidity are unaudited. As of December 31, 2018, the value and the percentage of net assets of these liquid securities were $18,237,697 and 37.4%, respectively.

(b)Security has a variable rate. Interest rates reset periodically. Rate stated was in effect as of December 31, 2018. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread are presented. Certain variable rate securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread because they are determined by the issuer, remarketing agent, or offering documents and are based on current market conditions. The coupon rate for securities with certain features outlined in the offering documents may vary from the stated reference rate and spread. This includes, but is not limited to, securities with deferred rates, contingent distributions, caps, floors, and fixed-rate to float-rate features. In addition, variable rates for government and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are determined by tranches of underlying mortgage-backed security pools’ cash flows into securities and pass-through rates which reflects the rate earned on the asset pool after management and guarantee fees are paid to the securitizing corporation. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

(c)All or a portion of the security was on loan as December 31, 2018.

(d)Non-income producing security.

(e)Issuer was in bankruptcy and/or was in default relating to principal and/or interest. Partial or no payments were paid on the last interest or dividend date.

(f)Perpetual security. Next contractual call date presented, if applicable.

(g)Pay-in-kind security. Stated coupon is the pay-in-kind rate. The interest earned by the security may be paid in cash or additional par.

(h)The interest rate for this security is inversely affected by upgrades or downgrades to the credit rating of the issuer.

(i)The Adviser has deemed this security to be illiquid based on procedures approved by the PPM Funds' Board of Trustees. Determinations of liquidity are unaudited.

(j)Security is restricted to resale to institutional investors. See Restricted Securities in the Schedules of Investments.

(k)Convertible security.

(l)Security fair valued in good faith as a Level 3 security in accordance with the procedures approved by the PPM Funds' Board of Trustees. Good faith fair valued securities are classified for Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement" based on the applicable valuation inputs. See FASB ASC Topic 820 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

(m)This senior loan will settle after December 31, 2018. The reference rate and spread presented will go into effect upon settlement.

(n)All or a portion of the security was purchased on a delayed delivery basis. As of December 31, 2018, the total payable for investments purchased on a delayed delivery basis was $20,642.

¹Par and notional amounts are listed in USD unless otherwise noted. Options are quoted in number of contracts or notional. Futures are quoted in contracts.

²For Funds with derivatives that received or paid periodic payments, the frequency of periodic payments are defined as follows: (A) - Annually; (E) - Expiration Date; (M) - Monthly; (Q) - Quarterly; (S) - Semi-Annually.

³If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the referenced obligation agreement and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap agreement less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

⁴If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the referenced obligation and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap agreement less the recovery value of the reference obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

⁵Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues and sovereign issues serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the applicable agreement.

⁶The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

⁷The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs is limited to the total notional amount which is defined under the terms of each swap agreement.

⁸If the Fund is a buyer of protection, the Fund pays the fixed rate. If the Fund is a seller of protection, the Fund receives the fixed rate.

"-” Amount rounds to less than 0.05%.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

PPM Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-ended management investment company, organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, by a Declaration of Trust, dated November 9, 2017, as amended and restated March 12, 2018. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("the 1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("the 1933 Act"). The Trust consists of nine series (collectively, the “Funds” and each individually a “Fund”): PPM Core Plus Fixed Income Fund, PPM Credit Fund, PPM Floating Rate Income Fund, PPM High Yield Core Fund, PPM Long Short Credit Fund, PPM Strategic Income Fund, PPM Large Cap Value Fund, PPM Mid Cap Value Fund and PPM Small Cap Value Fund. The Funds initially intend to offer only Institutional Class shares. Each Fund represents shares of beneficial interest in a separate portfolio of securities and other assets, each with its own investment objective, policies and strategies. PPM Floating Rate Income Fund, PPM Large Cap Value Fund, PPM Mid Cap Value Fund and PPM Small Cap Value Fund commenced operations on May 1, 2018. PPM Strategic Income Fund commenced operations on July 2, 2018. PPM Core Plus Fixed Income Fund, PPM Credit Fund, PPM High Yield Core Fund and PPM Long Short Credit Fund commenced operations on July 16, 2018. On the commencement date, PPM Core Plus Fixed Income Fund, PPM Credit Fund, PPM High Yield Core Fund and PPM Long Short Credit Fund received in-kind contributions in the form of securities in the amounts of $48,522,472, $47,365,077, $47,719,286 and $34,928,621, respectively. The Funds are classified as diversified under the 1940 Act, except PPM Floating Rate Income Fund, which is classified as a non-diversified fund.

PPM America, Inc. (“PPM” or “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser of the Funds, with responsibility for the professional investment supervision and management of the Funds. The Adviser is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential plc, a publicly traded company incorporated in the United Kingdom. Prudential plc is not affiliated in any manner with Prudential Financial, Inc., a company whose principal place of business is in the United States of America. Jackson National Asset Management LLC (“JNAM” or “Administrator”), an affiliate of PPM, serves as the administrator. JNAM is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Jackson National Life Insurance Company^® (“Jackson”), a US-based financial services company, which in turn is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential plc.

The initial shares of each Fund were sold to PPM at a net asset value of $10.00 per share (aggregate purchase amount of $100,000). As of December 31, 2018, PPM or affiliates under common ownership owned 100% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest in each of the Funds.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Security Valuation. Under the Trust’s valuation policy and procedures, the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) has delegated the daily operational oversight of the securities valuation function to the JNAM Valuation Committee (“Valuation Committee”), which consists of certain officers of the Trust and certain members of JNAM management. The Valuation Committee is responsible for determining fair valuations for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. For those securities fair valued under procedures adopted by the Board, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the fair valuation determinations after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. For fair valuation determinations that are deemed material, the Board is promptly notified of the fair valuation.

The net asset value ("NAV") of a Fund's shares is generally determined once each day on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, at the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday). Equity securities are generally valued at the official closing price of the exchange where the security is principally traded. If there is no official closing price for the security on the valuation date, the security may be valued at the most recent sale or quoted bid price prior to close. Stocks not listed on a national or foreign stock exchange may be valued at the closing bid price on the over the counter (“OTC”) market. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the NAV per share determined as of the close of the NYSE on each valuation date. Short-term securities maturing within sixty (60) days are valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that such practice does not approximate market value. Debt securities are generally valued by independent pricing services approved by the Board. Pricing services utilized to value debt and derivative instruments may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as: yield; credit quality; coupon rate; maturity; type of issue; trading characteristics; call features; credit ratings; broker quotes; and other relevant data. Term loans are generally valued at the composite bid prices provided by approved pricing services. Futures contracts traded on an exchange are generally valued at the exchange’s settlement price. If the settlement price is not available, exchange traded futures are valued at the last sales price as of the close of business on the primary exchange. If the last trade is determined to not be representative of fair value, exchange traded options are valued at the current day’s mid-price.

Market quotations may not be readily available for certain investments or it may be determined that a quotation of an investment does not represent fair value. In such instances, the investment is valued as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Situations that may require an investment to be fair valued may include instances where a security is thinly traded, halted or restricted as to resale. In addition, investments may be fair valued based on the occurrence of a significant event. Significant events may be specific to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults. Alternatively, significant events may affect an entire market, such as natural disasters, government actions, and significant changes in the value of US securities markets. Securities are fair valued based on observable and unobservable inputs, including the Administrator's or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of an investment. Under the procedures approved by the Board, the Administrator may utilize pricing services or other sources in determining the fair value of an investment. Factors considered to determine fair value may include fundamental analytical data relating to the security; the nature and duration of restrictions, if any, on the disposition of the security; trading volume on markets, exchanges, or among dealers;

evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which the security is traded; the type of security; the financial statements of the issuer, or other financial information about the issuer; the cost of the security at its date of purchase; the size of the Fund’s holding; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class, if applicable, at the time of purchase or at a later date; reports prepared by analysts; information as to any transactions in or offers for the security; the existence of any merger proposal, tender offer or other extraordinary event relating to the security; the price and extent of public or dealer trading in similar securities or derivatives of the issuer or of comparable companies; trading in depositary receipts; foreign currency exchange activity; changes in the interest rate environment; trading prices of financial products that are tied to baskets of foreign securities; and any other matters considered relevant.

If an investment is valued at a fair value for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV, the value may be different from the last quoted price for the investment depending on the source and method used to determine the value. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale.

Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for PPM Core Plus Fixed Income Fund, PPM Credit Fund, PPM Floating Rate Income Fund, PPM High Yield Core Fund, PPM Long Short Credit Fund and PPM Strategic Income Fund. PPM Large Cap Value Fund, PPM Mid Cap Value Fund and PPM Small Cap Value Fund declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, annually. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually for all the Funds only to the extent they exceeded available capital loss carryovers. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.

Other Service Providers. State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street” or "Custodian") acts as custodian and securities lending agent for the Funds. The Custodian has custody of all securities and cash of the Trust maintained in the United States and attends to the collection of principal and income and payment for and collection of proceeds of securities bought and sold by the Trust.

The Trust has entered into a Transfer Agency Agreement with UMB Fund Services, Inc. UMB Fund Services, Inc. is the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of all shares.

Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses are determined on the specific identification basis. Dividend income, net of applicable withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Corporate actions involving foreign securities, including dividends, are recorded when the information becomes available. Income received in lieu of dividends for securities loaned is included in dividends in the Statements of Operations. Interest income, including level-yield amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities and convertible bonds, is accrued daily. A Fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Expenses. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses of the Trust that are directly attributable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Other Trust level expenses are allocated to the Funds based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.

Foreign Taxes. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or foreign currency purchases and repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretations of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest.

Guarantees and Indemnifications. Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, certain of the Funds’ contracts with service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Funds cannot be determined and the Funds have no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU require that certain callable debt securities held at a premium be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the amendments and determined that they will not have a significant impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. Among the requirements, entities will be required to make additional disclosures about significant unobservable inputs in developing Level 3 fair value measurements and are permitted to remove disclosure of the amount and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management has elected early adoption for the removal of the transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 disclosure and is currently evaluating the impact that the remainder of the ASU will have on the Funds’ financial statements.

December 31, 2018

In August 2018, the SEC adopted Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The rule intends to simplify financial statement disclosures by removing duplicative, redundant or outdated disclosure requirements. The rule was effective November 5, 2018, and the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the year ended December 31, 2018 have been modified to conform to the rule.

NOTE 3. FASB ASC TOPIC 820, “FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT”

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement". This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of a Fund’s investments under FASB ASC Topic 820 guidance. The inputs are summarized into three broad categories:

Level 1 includes valuations based on quoted prices of identical securities in active markets, including valuations for securities listed on a national or foreign stock exchange or investments in mutual funds.

Level 2 includes valuations determined from significant direct or indirect observable inputs. Direct observable inputs include broker quotes, third party prices, closing prices of similar securities in active markets, closing prices for identical or similar securities in non-active markets or corporate action or reorganization entitlement values. Indirect significant observable inputs include factors such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds or credit ratings. Level 2 includes valuations for fixed income securities, including certain term loans, OTC derivatives, centrally cleared swap agreements, broker quotes in active markets, securities subject to corporate actions, securities valued at amortized cost, swap agreements valued by pricing services, ADRs and GDRs for which quoted prices in active markets are not available or securities limited by foreign ownership.

Level 3 includes valuations determined from significant unobservable inputs including the Administrator's own assumptions in determining the fair value of the investment. Inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 3 securities include security specific inputs such as: credit quality, credit rating spreads, issuer news, trading characteristics, call features, maturity or anticipated cash flows; or industry specific inputs such as: trading activity of similar markets or securities, changes in the security’s underlying index or changes in comparable securities’ models. Level 3 valuations include securities; term loans that do not meet certain liquidity thresholds; securities where prices may be unavailable due to halted trading, restricted to resale due to market events, or newly issued; private placements; or investments for which reliable quotes are otherwise not available.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuation, the Administrator regularly compares current day prices with prior day prices, transaction prices and alternative vendor prices. When the comparison results exceed pre-defined thresholds, the Administrator challenges the prices exceeding tolerance levels with the pricing service or broker. To verify Level 3 unobservable inputs, the Administrator uses a variety of techniques as appropriate to substantiate these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transaction back-testing or disposition analysis and review of related market activity.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table summarizes each Fund’s investments in securities and other financial instruments as of December 31, 2018, by valuation level.

¹Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Schedules of Investments. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment using the NAV per share practical expedient is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale. As of December 31, 2018, no investments were valued using the NAV per share practical expedient.

²Derivatives are reflected at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

³Unfunded commitments in PPM Floating Rate Income Fund are not reflected in the Schedules of Investments. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected as an asset or liability in the table. See Unfunded Commitments in the Schedules of Investments.

Significant changes in unobservable valuation inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement than the one used in a security’s valuation. The Funds recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the period for financial reporting purposes. There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3 for the year. There were no significant Level 3 valuations for which unobservable valuation inputs were developed at December 31, 2018.

NOTE 4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Securities Lending and Securities Lending Collateral. All Funds are approved to participate in agency based securities lending with the Funds’ custodian, State Street. Per the securities lending agreements, State Street is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved borrowers and is required to maintain collateral. Each Fund receives either cash or non-cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Generally, cash and non-cash collateral received for the following types of securities on loan are as follows: US equities – 102%; US corporate fixed income – 102%; US government fixed income – 102%; international equities – 105%; international corporate fixed income – 105%; sovereign fixed income – 102%; and asset backed investments – 102%. Collateral requirements are evaluated at the close of each business day; any additional collateral required is generally delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The duration of each loan is determined by the agent and borrower and generally may be terminated at any time. Certain loans may be negotiated to mature on a specified date. State Street has agreed to indemnify the Funds in the event of default by a third party borrower. A Fund may experience a delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss if the borrower breaches its agreement with the Fund or becomes insolvent. For cash collateral, the Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates negotiated with the borrower. The Funds bear the market risk with respect to the collateral investment and securities loaned. The Funds also bear the risk that State Street may default on its obligations to the Funds. Non-cash collateral may include US government securities; US government agencies’ debt securities; and US government-sponsored agencies’ debt securities and mortgage-backed securities. Certain Funds receive non-cash collateral in the form of securities received, which the Funds may not sell or re-pledge and accordingly are not reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-cash collateral, the Funds receive lending fees negotiated with the borrower. State Street has agreed to indemnify the Funds with respect to the market risk related to the non-cash collateral investments.

The cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market fund and a series of State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust, which is an open-end management company registered under the 1940 Act. The Funds also bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of collateral available for return to a borrower due to a decline in value of the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio.

Cash collateral received from the borrower is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as payable for return of securities loaned. Investments acquired with such cash collateral are reported as Investments - unaffiliated, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities on loan is disclosed as Securities on loan included in investments - unaffiliated, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Each Fund’s net exposure to a borrower is determined by the amount of any excess or shortfall in cash collateral received compared to the value of securities on loan.

US Government Agencies or Government Sponsored Enterprises. Certain Funds may invest in US government agencies or government sponsored enterprises. US government securities are obligations of, and in certain cases, guaranteed by, the US government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Some US government securities, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association, are supported by the full faith and credit of the US government; others, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Bank, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the US Department of the Treasury (“US Treasury”); others, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”), are supported by the discretionary authority of the US government to purchase the agency’s obligations; and still others, such as those of the Student Loan Marketing Association, are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. US government securities may include zero coupon securities, which do not distribute interest on a current basis and tend to be subject to greater risk than interest paying securities of similar maturities.

Government-related guarantors (i.e., guarantors that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the US government) include FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). FNMA purchases conventional (i.e., not insured or guaranteed by any government

agency) residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers, which include state and federally chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions and mortgage bankers. Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. FHLMC issues Participation Certificates (“PCs”), which are pass-through securities, each representing an undivided interest in a pool of residential mortgages. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but PCs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the US government.

FNMA and FHMLC were placed into conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”). As the conservator, FHFA succeeded to all rights, titles, powers and privileges of FNMA and FHLMC and of any stockholder, officer or director of FNMA and FHLMC with respect to FNMA and FHLMC and each enterprise’s assets. In connection with the conservatorship, the US Treasury entered into a Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with FNMA and FHLMC. This agreement contains various covenants that severely limit each enterprise’s operations. In exchange for entering into these agreements, the US Treasury received senior preferred stock in each enterprise and warrants to purchase each enterprise’s common stock. The US Treasury created a new secured lending facility, which is available to FNMA and FHLMC as a liquidity backstop and created a temporary program to purchase mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC. FNMA and FHLMC are continuing to operate as going concerns while in conservatorship and each remains liable for all of its obligations, including its guaranty obligations, associated with its mortgage-backed securities.

Unregistered Securities. The Funds may own certain investment securities that are unregistered and thus restricted as to resale. These securities may also be referred to as “private placements”. Unregistered securities may be “illiquid” because there is no readily available market for sale of the securities. Where future dispositions of the securities require registration under the 1933 Act, the Funds have the right to include those securities in such registration generally without cost to the Funds. The Funds have no right to require registration of unregistered securities.

Senior and Junior Loans. Certain Funds may invest in Senior loans or secured and unsecured subordinated loans, second lien loans and subordinated bridge loans (“Junior loans”) which are purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis and may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Interest income on these loans is accrued based on the terms of the securities. Senior and Junior loans can be acquired through an agent, by assignment from another holder of the loan, or as a participation interest in another holder’s portion of the loan.

Unfunded Commitments. Certain Funds may enter into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrowers’ discretion. Unfunded loan commitments and funded portions of credit agreements are marked-to-market daily. Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on unfunded commitments is reflected in other assets or payable for investment securities purchased in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as applicable, and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments - unaffiliated in the Statements of Operations.

NOTE 5. INVESTMENT TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND COLLATERAL

Under various agreements, certain investment transactions require collateral to be pledged to or from a Fund and a counterparty or segregated at the Custodian and the collateral is managed pursuant to the terms of the agreement. US Treasury Bills and US dollars are generally the preferred forms of collateral, although other forms of high quality or sovereign securities may be used. Securities held by a Fund that are used as collateral are identified as such within the Schedules of Investments. Collateral for OTC financial derivative transactions paid to or received from brokers and counterparties is included in receivable from deposits with brokers and counterparties or payable for deposits from counterparties in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as applicable.

Counterparty Agreements. Certain Funds enter into various types of agreements with counterparties, which govern the terms of certain transactions and mitigate the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. A Fund may net exposure and collateralize multiple transaction types governed by the same agreement with the same counterparty and may close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default and/or termination event with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. Each agreement defines whether the Fund is contractually able to net settle daily payments. Additionally, certain circumstances, such as laws of a particular jurisdiction or settlement of amounts due in different currencies, may prohibit or restrict the right of offset as defined in the agreements.

These agreements also help limit credit and counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral) governed under the relevant agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of agreement. A Fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant agreement. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds’ Adviser attempts to limit counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that the Adviser believes to have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. For swap agreements executed with a Derivatives Clearing Organization (“DCO”) in a multilateral or other trade facility platform (“centrally cleared swaps”), counterparty risk is reduced by shifting exposure from the counterparty to the DCO. Additionally, the DCO has broad powers to provide an orderly liquidation in the event of a default.

Customer Account Agreements. Customer Account Agreements and related addendums govern exchange traded or centrally cleared derivative transactions such as futures, options on futures and centrally cleared derivatives. If a Fund transacts in exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives, the Adviser is a party to agreements with (1) a Futures Commissions Merchant (“FCM”) in which the FCM facilitates the execution of the exchange traded and centrally cleared derivative with the DCO and (2) with an executing broker/swap dealer to agree to the terms of the swap and resolution process in the event the centrally cleared swap is not accepted for clearing by the designated DCO. Exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives transactions require posting an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount known as the “initial margin” as determined by each relevant clearing agency and is segregated at an FCM which is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or the

applicable regulator. The Fund receives from, or pays to, the counterparty an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as the “variation margin”. Variation margin on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities may include variation margin on closed unsettled derivative transactions. Variation margin received may not be netted between exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives. In the event of default, counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors to the FCM do not have claim to the Fund’s assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk.

International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”). ISDA Master Agreements govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by PPM and select counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, events of default, termination and maintenance of collateral. Termination includes conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election of early termination could be material to the financial statements. In the event of default, the total financial derivative value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty. The amount of collateral exchanged is based on provisions within the ISDA Master Agreements and is determined by the net exposure with the counterparty and is not identified for a specific OTC derivative instrument.

Prime Brokerage Arrangements and Other Securities Borrowing Agreements. Certain Funds may enter into Prime Brokerage Arrangements or Securities Borrowing Agreements to facilitate execution and/or clearing of listed equity option transactions or short sales of securities between the Fund and select counterparties. The arrangements provide general guidelines surrounding the rights, obligations and other events, including but not limited to, margin, execution and settlement. These arrangements maintain provisions for, among other things, payments, maintenance of collateral, events of default, and termination. Cash margin and securities delivered as collateral are typically in the possession of the prime broker or lending agent and offset any obligations due to the prime broker or lending agent. Cash collateral held at the prime broker is reflected in Cash collateral segregated for short sales in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In the event of default, the value of securities sold short will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.

NOTE 6. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Futures Contracts. A Fund may buy and sell futures on equities and indices. A futures contract is a standardized contract obligating two parties to exchange a specified asset at an agreed upon price and date. Variation margin is recorded by the Fund until the contracts are terminated at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. Futures contracts involve to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin recorded by the Fund. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held by the Fund or the change in the value of an underlying entity and the prices of the futures contracts and the possibility the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. With futures, counterparty risk to the Fund is reduced because futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, acting as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Swap Agreements. Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between a Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements may be privately negotiated in the OTC market or executed and centrally cleared with a DCO.

Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. For OTC swaps, premiums paid or received at the beginning of the measurement period are recorded as an asset or liability by the Fund and represent payments made or received upon entering into the OTC swap to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the OTC swap and prevailing market conditions relating to credit spreads, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other relevant factors as appropriate. These upfront payments are recorded as a realized gain or loss upon termination or maturity of the OTC swap. For centrally cleared swaps, daily changes in valuation are recorded as a receivable or payable, as appropriate, and received from or paid to the DCO on a daily basis until the contracts are terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded. The use of centrally cleared swaps may require a Fund to commit initial and variation margin that may otherwise not be required under an OTC swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gain or loss.

Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss recorded by a Fund. Such risks include that there is no liquid market for OTC swaps, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreement and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates or value of underlying securities. Centrally cleared swaps involve to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin recorded by the Fund.

Credit Default Swap Agreements. Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs for the referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a premium in return for such protection and/or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap if there is no credit event. A credit event is defined under the terms of each swap agreement and may include, but is not limited to, underlying entity default, bankruptcy, restructuring, write-down, principal shortfall or interest shortfall. As a seller, a Fund adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the credit default swap. If a Fund is a seller or buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular credit default swap agreement, the Fund will either pay to or receive from the buyer or seller of protection an amount prescribed in that particular swap agreement. Until a credit event occurs, recovery values are determined by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations. When a credit event occurs, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction, administered by ISDA, whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

A Fund may use credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issues to provide a measure of protection against defaults of an issuer (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event).

A Fund may use credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the referenced obligation or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular referenced obligation’s default. Unlike credit default swaps on corporate or sovereign issues, deliverable obligations in most instances would be limited to the specific referenced obligation because performance for asset-backed securities can vary across deals. Write-downs, such as prepayments and principal pay downs, or loss events on the underlying mortgage loans will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the referenced obligation. These reductions may be temporary or permanent as defined under the terms of the swap agreement and the notional amount for the swap agreement will be adjusted by corresponding amounts.

A Fund may use credit default swap agreements on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swap agreements or bonds, to protect investors owning bonds against default and to speculate on changes in credit quality. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to represent a portion of the credit market. These indices consist of reference credits that are considered to be the liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the index sector. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities and emerging market securities. These components can be determined based upon various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the issuers in the index, and if there is a credit event, the credit event is settled based on that issuer’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each issuer has an equal weight in the index.

Either as a seller of protection or a buyer of protection of a credit default swap agreement, a Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement as disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and Financial Instruments Eligible for Offset. FASB ASC Topic 815 includes the requirement for enhanced qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments and disclosures regarding credit related contingent features in derivative instruments, as well as quantitative disclosures in the semi-annual and annual financial statements about fair value, gains and losses, and volume of activity for derivative instruments. Information about these instruments is disclosed in the context of each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure which is categorized as credit, commodity, equity price, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The following disclosures include: (1) Objectives and strategies for each Fund’s derivative investments during the year; (2) A summary table of the fair valuations of each Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure, which references the location on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations for each derivative instrument as of December 31, 2018. Funds which held only one type of derivative during the year are not included in the tables as the location on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the realized and unrealized gain loss on the Statements of Operations can be referenced directly on each Fund’s respective statements; (3) A summary table of derivative instruments and certain investments of each Fund, which are subject to master netting agreements or a similar agreement and are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2018.For Funds which held only one type of derivative during the year, amounts eligible for offset are presented gross in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Net exposure can be referenced in the assets and liabilities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and, if collateral exists, the net exposure is offset by collateral identified in the segregated or pledged collateral table; and (4) A table reflecting each Fund’s average monthly derivative volume for the year ended December 31, 2018.

NOTE 7. INVESTMENT RISKS AND REGULATORY MATTERS

The Funds' risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Market Risk. Stock market risk refers to the fact that stock (equity securities) prices typically fluctuate more than the values of other types of securities, typically in response to changes in the particular company’s financial condition and factors affecting the market in general. Over time, the stock market tends to move in cycles, with periods when stock prices rise, and periods when stock prices decline. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the price of the various stocks held by the Fund. Consequently, a broad-based market drop may also cause a stock’s price to fall. Bond market risk generally refers to credit risk and interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk. When interest rates increase, fixed-income securities generally will decline in value. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates and general economic conditions. Fixed-income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than those with shorter durations.

Issuer Risk. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the market as a whole. A security’s value may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, corporate governance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

Prepayment Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, there is the risk that a debt security with a high stated interest rate will be prepaid before its expected maturity date and that a Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment that may have a lower interest rate. In addition, prepayment rates are difficult to predict and the potential impact of prepayment on the price of a debt instrument depends on the terms of the instrument.

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the actual or perceived risk that the issuer of a bond, borrower, guarantor, counterparty, or other entity responsible for payment will not pay interest and principal payments when due. The price of a debt security can decline in response to changes in the financial condition of the issuer, borrower, guarantor, counterparty, or other entity responsible for payment. The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of the issuer’s financial strength or in a security’s credit rating, which reflects a third party’s assessment of the credit risk presented by a particular issuer, may affect debt securities’ value. When a fixed-income security is not rated, PPM may have to assess the risk of the security itself. The Fund may incur substantial losses on debt securities that are inaccurately perceived to present a different amount of credit risk by the market, PPM or the rating agencies than such securities actually do. In addition, to the extent the Fund invests in municipal bonds, they are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions, or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest.

Counterparty Risk. A Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative contracts (whether a clearing corporation in the case of exchange-traded instruments or another third party in the case of over-the-counter instruments) and other instruments, such as repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, entered into directly by a Fund or held by special purpose or structured vehicles in which a Fund invests. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent or otherwise fails or is unwilling to perform its obligations to a Fund due to financial difficulties or for other reasons, the Fund may experience significant losses or delays in realizing on any collateral the counterparty has provided to a Fund in respect of the counterparty’s obligations to the Fund or recovering collateral that a Fund has provided to the counterparty and is entitled to recover. In addition, in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency or other event of default (e.g., cross-default) of a counterparty to a derivative transaction, the derivative transaction would typically be terminated at its fair market value. If a Fund is owed this fair market value in the termination of the derivative transaction and its claim is

76

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

unsecured, the Fund will likely be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty. A Fund may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

Leverage Risk. Certain transactions, such as reverse repurchase agreements, futures, forwards, swaps, or other derivative instruments, include the use of leverage and may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions at disadvantageous times to satisfy its obligations or to meet asset segregation requirements. The effect of using leverage is to increase the Fund’s potential gains and losses in comparison to the amount of the Fund’s assets (that is, assets other than borrowed assets) at risk, which may cause the Fund’s portfolio to be more volatile. If the Fund uses leverage, the Fund has the risk of capital losses that exceed the net assets of the Fund.

Senior Loans Risk. The senior loans in which a Fund invests are usually rated below investment grade. The amount of public information with respect to loans may be less extensive than that available for registered or exchange listed securities. An economic downturn generally leads to a higher non-payment, and a senior loan may lose significant value before a default occurs. A secured senior loan may not be adequately collateralized. Moreover, any specific collateral used to secure a senior loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the senior loan’s value.

Cybersecurity Risk. Cyber-attacks could disrupt daily operations related to trading and portfolio management. In addition, technology disruptions and cyber-attacks may impact the operations or securities prices of an issuer or a group of issuers, and thus may have an adverse impact on the value of a Fund’s investments. Cyber-attacks on PPM and service providers could cause business failures or delays in daily processing and a Fund may not be able to issue a NAV per share. As a result, cyber-attacks could impact the performance of a Fund.

NOTE 8. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Advisory and Administrative Fees. The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") with PPM. Subject to the oversight of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, PPM is responsible for managing the affairs of the Trust including, but not limited to, continuously providing the Trust with investment advice and business management to the Funds. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, PPM receives an annual fee accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the PPM Core Plus Fixed Income Fund, 0.45% of the average daily net assets of the PPM Credit Fund, 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the PPM Floating Rate Income Fund, 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the PPM High Yield Core Fund, 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the PPM Long Short Credit Fund, 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the PPM Strategic Income Fund, 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the PPM Large Cap Value Fund, 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the PPM Mid Cap Value Fund and 0.80% of the average daily net assets of the PPM Small Cap Value Fund.

The Trust has entered into an Administration Agreement with JNAM, an affiliate of PPM. JNAM is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Jackson, a US-based financial services company, which in turn is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential plc. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, JNAM receives an annual fee accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. In return for the fees paid under the Administration Agreement, JNAM provides or procures all necessary administrative functions and services for the operation of the Funds. This includes, among other things, fund accounting; calculation of the daily NAV of each Fund; monitoring the Funds’ expense accruals; calculating monthly total return; prospectus and statement of additional information compliance monitoring; preparing certain financial statements of the Trust; and preparing the Trust’s regulatory filings. In addition, JNAM, at its own expense, arranges for legal, audit, custody (except overdraft and interest expense), printing and mailing of financial statements and prospectuses, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer costs, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds. Each Fund is responsible for investment advisory services; transfer agency services; trading expenses including brokerage commissions; interest expenses; taxes; costs and expenses associated with short sales; nonrecurring and extraordinary expenses; registration fees; license fees; directors’ and officers’ insurance; the fees and expenses of the independent Trustees; independent legal counsel to the independent Trustees; and a portion of the costs associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.

Advisory Fee Waivers. The Trust and the Adviser have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement whereby PPM has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for each of the Funds to the extent necessary to limit the annualized ordinary operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, all commissions and other normal charges incident to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, indirect expenses of investing in other investment companies, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.50% for the PPM Core Plus Fixed Income Fund, 0.55% for the PPM Credit Fund, 0.70% for the PPM Floating Rate Income Fund, 0.70% for the PPM High Yield Core Fund, 0.70% for the PPM Long Short Credit Fund, 0.65% for the PPM Strategic Income Fund, 0.75% for the PPM Large Cap Value Fund, 0.90% for the PPM Mid Cap Value Fund and 1.00% for the PPM Small Cap Value Fund for an initial term expiring on April 30, 2019. Any waived amounts are not subject to future recoupment by the Adviser.

Security Transactions. Security transactions can occur in the Funds where both the buyer and seller of the security are portfolios or accounts for which PPM serves as the Adviser. Such transactions occur to eliminate transaction costs normally associated with security trading activity. Such transactions are subject to compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 17a-7 transactions”) and are reviewed by the Chief Compliance Officer. Rule 17a-7 trades are executed at current market price at the time of the transaction. There were no 17a-7 transactions that were deemed significant by the Administrator during the year ended December 31, 2018.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAX MATTERS

Each Fund is treated as a separate tax payer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") and to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to RICs. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The following information for the Funds is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statements and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing and character differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. Permanent differences between financial statement and federal income tax reporting are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Permanent differences may include but are not limited to the following: expired capital loss carryforwards, foreign currency reclassifications, premium amortization or paydown reclassifications, reclassifications on the sale of passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") or Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") securities, net operating losses, accounting treatment of notional principal contracts and partnerships, equalization and other distribution adjustments. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets.

	Net Increase(Decrease)
	Total Distributable Earnings (Loss)($)		Paid-in Capital($)
PPM Core Plus Fixed Income Fund	13,468		(13,468	)

FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FASB ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would result in the Funds recording a tax expense in the current year. FASB ASC Topic 740 requires that management evaluate the tax positions taken in returns which remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and certain other jurisdictions. Management completed an evaluation of the Funds’ tax positions and based on that evaluation, determined that no provision for federal income tax was required in the Funds’ financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2018.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated subsequent events for the Funds through the date the financial statements are issued and has concluded there are no events that required adjustments to the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of each series within PPM Funds including PPM Core Plus Fixed Income Fund (commenced operations July 16, 2018), PPM Credit Fund (commenced operations July 16, 2018), PPM Floating Rate Income Fund (commenced operations May 1, 2018), PPM High Yield Core Fund (commenced operations July 16, 2018), PPM Long Short Credit Fund (commenced operations July 16, 2018), PPM Strategic Income Fund (commenced operations July 2, 2018), PPM Large Cap Value Fund (commenced operations May 1, 2018), PPM Mid Cap Value Fund (commenced operations May 1, 2018), and PPM Small Cap Value Fund (commenced operations May 1, 2018) (the “Funds”), as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the period since commencement of operations then ended and the statements of changes in net assets for the period since commencement of operations then ended and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for the period since commencement of operations in the period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for the period since commencement of operations then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodians, transfer agents and brokers or other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Additional Disclosures(Unaudited)

December 31, 2018

Disclosure of Fund Expenses. Shareholders incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services and other operating expenses. Operating expenses such as these are deducted from each Fund’s gross income and directly reduce the final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund’s expense ratio. The examples below use the expense ratio and are intended to help the investor understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

Expenses Using Actual Fund Return. This section provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses incurred by the Fund. Use the information in this section, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses paid during this period.

Expenses Using Hypothetical 5% Return. This section provides information that can be used to compare each Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund’s expense ratio for the period is unchanged and assumes an annual 5% return before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. This example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to make the 5% calculation.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant had adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of FormN-CSR, applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. There were no substantive amendments or any waivers to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report. A copy of this code of ethics is filed as Exhibit 12(a)(1) to this FormN-CSR.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant has named Kevin Callahan as an Audit Committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee.

An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or Board of Trustees.
