This report and the financial statements contained herein are submitted for the general information of shareholders and are not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless preceded or accompanied by an effective prospectus, which contains information about the Fund’s investment objective, risks, fees and expenses. Investors are reminded to read the prospectus carefully before investing in the Fund. |
Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to update you on the developments of the DGI Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (this “Period”). The Fund continues to seek long -term positive returns for its shareholders. It has done so by participating in equity markets while attempting to limit volatility of the Fund’s net asset value by investing a significant portion of the portfolio in fixed income securities.
The financial markets saw significant market volatility during this Period. Short- term interest rates rose significantly during this Period, as the Federal Reserve raised their target rates in an effort to reduce inflation, which resulted in bonds underperforming. Long-term interest rates also increased to levels not seen for many years. Equity markets weakened in the first part of this Period based on fears of an economic recession. Equity markets began to improve in October of 2022 and continued to show positive returns through the end of this Period.
During this Period, the Fund had a total return of 1.32%. This positive return lagged the returns of the major equity indices because of the negative returns of the Fund’s fixed income holdings for this Period. The Fund’s emphasis on financial stocks during this Period was also detrimental to returns.
The investment outlook for the markets is clouded somewhat by uncertainty from rising interest rates and economic volatility, but in the opinion of the Fund’s investment adviser the long-term economic outlook is positive. Participation in equity investments over time has historically been important when seeking to achieve returns that maintain and grow the real value of savings. The Fund’s strategy seeks to provide participation in that potential growth while attempting to cushion the risk of possible equity market declines with a significant position in fixed income securities.
We thank you for your continued investment in the Fund.
| Sincerely, |
| |
|  |
DGI Balanced Fund

DGI Balanced Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
The DGI Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of DGI Investment Trust (the “Trust”), a collective investment trust formed and organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Commonwealth” or “Puerto Rico”) pursuant to a certain Deed of Constitution of Trust, dated January 28, 2021, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Deed of Trust”), and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund offers Class P, Class T, and Class NT shares. The Fund also offers Class A, Class C, and Class I shares, which are not yet available for purchase. The Fund commenced investment operations on May 23, 2021. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation and current income. Investment in the Fund is intended for residents of Puerto Rico.
Each class of shares will represent interests in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and are identical in all respects to each other class of the Fund, except as set forth in the Fund’s multiple class plan pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act.
| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) . The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
Securities Valuation – The Fund’s assets will be valued based upon market quotations when such quotations are available. A security listed or traded on any exchange in the United States will be valued at its last sales price on the principal exchange on which it is traded prior to the time the assets of the Fund are valued. If no sale is reported at that time or the security is traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, the most recent bid will be used for purposes of the valuation. Assets for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) . Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. These prices may change depending on market conditions.
Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Funds may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
DGI Balanced Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2023
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2023 for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

| ^ | For the year ended June 30, 2023, the investments were valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The investments do not have a material impact on the net assets of the Fund and, therefore, disclosure of unobservable inputs used in formulating the valuations are not presented. |

Security Transactions and Investment Income – Security transactions are accounted for on trade date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
DGI Balanced Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2023
Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Dividends and Distributions - The Fund expects to declare and distribute all of its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends at least annually. The amount of any distribution will vary, and there is no guarantee the Fund will pay either an income dividend or a capital gains distribution. Distributions will be reinvested in shares of the Fund, unless otherwise directed by the shareholder. Generally, distributions within taxable accounts are taxable events for shareholders whether the distributions are received in cash or reinvested.
Dividends consisting of Ordinary Dividends to individual shareholders will be distributed net of the 15% tax imposed by the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended (the “PR Code”), which will be automatically withheld at source by the Fund. All dividend distributions by the Fund to a tax advantaged account, such as a Puerto Rico tax-qualified retirement plan or IRA account, will be made on a gross basis, without any tax withholding, and will be reinvested automatically in shares of the Fund. Such distributions may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from the tax-advantaged account.
In general, the Fund’s distributions will be subject to Puerto Rico income taxes as dividend income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax advantaged arrangement, such as a Puerto Rico tax-qualified retirement plan or an IRA, in which case your distributions may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from the tax-advantaged account. Such distributions will also be subject to U.S federal income taxes and the PFIC rules if received by a U.S. person not residing in Puerto Rico. Distributions to residents of Puerto Rico who own, directly or indirectly, less than 10% of the total shares of the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes.
Cash – The Fund considers its investment in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Fund maintains cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund maintains these balances with a high-quality financial institution.
Indemnification – The Fund indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.
3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS
For the year ended June 30, 2023, the aggregate purchases and sales of investments (excluding U.S. Government securities and short-term investments) were $- and $226,362, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the aggregate purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities were $4,578,639 and $16,364,371, respectively.
The Fund is subject to the risks of investing in equity securities. Equity securities are subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than other asset classes, as a result of such factors as a company’s business performance, investor perceptions, stock market trends and general economic conditions. The Fund may invest in smaller companies, which may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies. The Fund may also invest in large-cap stocks, which as a group could fall out of favor with the market, causing the Fund to underperform investments that focus solely on small- or medium-capitalization stocks. Large cap companies may trail the returns of the overall stock market. The Fund may also invest in investment companies and exchange- traded funds (“ETFs”), which may not achieve their investment objectives or execute their investment strategies effectively, or a large purchase or redemption activity by shareholders might negatively affect the value of the shares.
The Fund may also invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, which are subject to credit and interest rate risks, as well as extension and prepayment risks. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of mortgage -related securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, if the Fund holds mortgage-related securities, it may exhibit additional volatility. When interest rates decline, the value of mortgage-related securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed-income securities because borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner than expected. Moreover, to the extent the Fund invests in FHA/VA Mortgage Securities, the yield of the shares will depend in some part on the rate at which principal payments are made on such securities, which in turn will
DGI Balanced Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2023
depend on the rate at which principal prepayments are made on the underlying mortgage loans. These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying mortgage or asset, particularly during periods of economic downturn. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities.
The Fund may also invest in debt securities, which are subject to similar risks. For instance, increases in the federal funds rate may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility and may reduce liquidity for certain Fund investments, which could cause the value of the Fund’s investments and share price to decline. The Fund may invest in corporate debt securities, which are subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on the obligations and may also be subject to price volatility due to factors such as market interest rates, market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity. The market value of a debt security generally reacts inversely to interest rate changes. Furthermore, issuers of fixed -income securities could default or be downgraded if they fail to make required payments of principal or interest. The Fund only invests in investment grade securities; however, the Fund will not be required to dispose of a debt that has its rating downgraded subsequent to the Fund’s purchase.
The Fund may invest in U.S. government obligations, which have different levels of credit support and, therefore, different degrees of credit risk. The U.S. government does not guarantee the market value of the securities it issues, so those values may fluctuate. In addition, the payment obligations on certain securities in which the Fund may invest, including securities issued by certain U.S. Government agencies and U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.
To the extent that the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Puerto Rico”), the Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico’s economy suffered a severe and prolonged recession from 2007 to 2017, with real gross national product contracting approximately 15% during this period. Since 2017, Puerto Rico and several of its instrumentalities have entered debt-restructuring proceedings under Titles III and VI of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management & Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”). However, Puerto Rico has begun to implement the plan of adjustment approved on January 18, 2022 in the court-supervised debt-restructuring process under Title III of PROMESA, setting the stage for its exit from bankruptcy. Puerto Rico is also susceptible to hurricanes, major storms and earthquakes that affect the local economy and its population has declined over the past decade. Therefore, any factors affecting Puerto Rico will have a greater effect on the Fund’s performance than they would in a more geographically diversified fund.
Overall, the value of stocks and other securities can be highly volatile, and prices may fluctuate widely, which means you should expect a wide range of returns and could lose money, even over a long time period. Various economic, industry, regulatory, political, or other factors (such as natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, war, terrorism, conflicts or social unrest) may disrupt U.S. and world economies and can dramatically affect markets generally, certain industry sectors, and/or individual companies.
| 4. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTION WITH RELATED PARTIES |
Oriental Trust, a separately identifiable division of Oriental Bank, the “Adviser”, acts as investment adviser to the Fund under an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Fund. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays to the Adviser a monthly advisory fee at an annual rate of 0.93% of its average daily net assets. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Fund incurred $2,888,603 in advisory fees for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Effective June 30, 2023, Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, (the “Distributor”) is the distributor for the Fund. Prior to June 30, 2023, the distributor of the Fund was Oriental Financial Services LLC.
Pursuant to a separate servicing agreement with Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”), an affiliate of the Distributor, the Fund pays UFS fees for providing administration, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the Fund. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving in such capacities.
DGI Balanced Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2023
In addition, certain affiliates of UFS provide ancillary services to the Fund as follows:
Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”), an affiliate of the Distributor and UFS, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives fees from the Fund.
Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”), an affiliate of the Distributor and UFS, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Fund on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives fees from the Fund.
The Fund is intended solely for residents of Puerto Rico. The Fund will be treated as a registered investment company under the PR Code. As such, the Fund will be exempt from Puerto Rico income tax for a taxable year if it distributes to its shareholders at least 90% of its net income for the taxable year within the time period provided by the PR Code.
The Fund did not distribute 90% of its income to shareholders for the taxable year June 30, 2021 and therefore recorded a tax expense of $445,825 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, it was determined that the Fund was not responsible for this tax expense and the accrual was reversed.
The Fund will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “US Code”). As such, the Fund will not qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the US Code and will be treated as a non-U.S. corporation whose only business activity in the United States is trading in stocks or securities for its own account; which, under the US Code, does not constitute engaging in the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, even if its principal office is located therein. As a result, the Fund will be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding only with respect to certain types of income from United States sources considered fixed, determinable, annual and periodic income (such as dividends and interest paid by U.S. payors).
In general, the Fund’s distributions will be subject to Puerto Rico income taxes as dividend income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a Puerto Rico tax-qualified retirement plan or an IRA, in which case your distributions may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from the tax-advantaged account. Such distributions will also be subject to U.S federal income taxes and the PFIC rules if received by a U.S. person not residing in Puerto Rico. Distributions to residents of Puerto Rico who own, directly or indirectly, less than 10% of the total shares of the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes.
| 6. | TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL |
The tax attributes of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, were as follows:
| | Fiscal Year Ended | | | Fiscal Year Ended | |

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of the Fund creates presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a) 9 of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2023, Pershing, holding shares for the benefit of others in nominee name, held approximately 99.6% of the voting securities of the Fund.
Subsequent events after the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of DGI Balanced Fund and Board of Trustees of DGI Investment Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of DGI Balanced Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest in DGI Investment Trust (the “Fund”) as of June 30, 2023, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2023, the results of its operations, the changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2022, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 29, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 Fund 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2023.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)
June 30, 2023
As a shareholder of the DGI Balanced Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and certain Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual Expenses” line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales loads, or redemption fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (Unaudited)
June 30, 2023
The Fund has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the appointment of the Fund’s investment adviser to serve as Liquidity Program Administrator (the “LPA”). The LPA is responsible for the Program’s administration and oversight and for reporting to the Board on at least an annual basis regarding the Program’s operation and effectiveness. The annual written report assessing the Program (the “Report”) was presented to the Board at the June 13, 2023 Board meeting and covered the period from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023 (the “Review Period”).
During the Review Period, the Fund did not experience unusual stress or disruption to its operations related to purchase and redemption activity. Also, during the Review Period, the Fund held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. During the Review Period, the Fund held more than 99.9% of its assets in highly liquid investments and the Fund was not required to establish a highly liquid investment minimum. The Report concluded that the Liquidity Program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and has been effectively implemented.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
At a meeting held on March 7, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of DGI Investment Trust (the “Trust”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) for an additional one-year period between the Trust, on behalf of the DGI Balanced Fund (the “Fund”), and Oriental Trust, a separately identifiable division of Oriental Bank (“Oriental Trust” or the “Adviser”). The Board noted that the Adviser would be the Trust Department of Oriental Bank, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of OFG Bancorp (“OFG”), a publicly traded financial holding company.
Prior to making this approval, the Board considered the materials and presentations related to the Advisory Agreement provided by the Adviser, which included the qualifications of Oriental Trust to serve as investment adviser to the Fund and other information requested by the Independent Trustees in advance of, and at, the Meeting. Additionally, the Trustees received assistance and advice from counsel to the Trust and the Independent Trustees (“Counsel”) regarding legal and industry standards in connection with their duties and responsibilities when approving an investment advisory agreement, including the specific duties imposed on the Board under the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees also met separately with Counsel.
The following summary does not identify all the matters considered by the Board, but provides a summary of the principal matters the Board considered in concluding that the fee payable to the Adviser was supported by the services that are provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement and approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services; Fund Performance
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed, among other items, certain background materials supplied by the Adviser, including its Form ADV.
The Board reviewed and considered the Adviser’s history as an asset manager, its performance and the amount of assets currently under management by the Adviser, and reviewed the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the portfolio manager who is responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of actual and potential investments. The Board also reviewed the research and decision-making processes utilized by the Adviser, including the methods adopted to seek to achieve compliance with the investment objective, policies and restrictions of the Fund. The Board also considered the Adviser’s experience and expertise with respect to Puerto Rico investment vehicles and in providing investment management services catering to Puerto Rico residents. The Board also reviewed accompanying compliance-related materials with respect to the Trust, that they received reports on these services and compliance issues from Trust officers and the Adviser periodically throughout the year.
The Board then reviewed the performance information for the Fund over various periods since the inception of the Fund on May 23, 2021. The Board reviewed the one -month, three- month, six-month, and year-to-date performance for the periods ended December 31, 2022. The Board noted that the Fund had slightly underperformed its benchmark the DGI Blended Benchmark (67% Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index/33% S&P 500 Total Return Index) for each of the periods, with the exception of the year-to-date performance in which it slightly outperformed its benchmark. The Board also reviewed the Fund’s performance against a peer universe of funds provided by Morningstar in the “Allocation Funds – 30-50% Equity” category (the “Peer Universe”), noting that the Fund underperformed the average and median performance of the Peer Universe for the 1-year period. The Board also considered the annualized total returns for the predecessor fund. In connection with their review, the Board noted the
DGI Balanced Fund
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued)
June 30, 2023
challenging market environment and the Adviser’s explanation that the Fund’s performance was generally in line with expectations given the risk profile of the Fund and the investment restrictions associated with conversion of the predecessor fund (organized as a collective investment vehicle under Puerto Rico regulations) into a 1940 Act-registered fund.
Taking into account the totality of the information considered, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services rendered by the Adviser to the Trust supported the renewal of the Advisory Agreement.
Adviser’s Costs and Profitability
The Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by the Adviser. In that regard, the Board was provided with information regarding the gross advisory fee received by the Adviser, as well as the extent to which internal OFG expenses are allocated in connection with such analysis. The Board was also provided with the audited financial statements of Oriental Bank and the Annual Report for its financial holding company OFG. The Board noted that both Oriental Bank and OFG are considered well capitalized under bank regulatory frameworks supervised by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Board concluded that the Adviser’s profitability in connection with its management of the Fund is not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale; Breakpoints
The Board next considered the impact of economies of scale on the Fund’s size and whether the advisory fee level reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors. In light of its ongoing consideration of the Fund’s asset levels, expectations for growth in the Fund, and fee levels, the Board determined that the Fund’s fee arrangements, in light of all the facts and circumstances, were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser.
Comparative Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the comparative Peer Universe expense information provided by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the management fees for the peer group average, peer group median, and the highest in the peer group. It noted that, although the fee payable to the Adviser is higher than the median and average of the Fund’s peer group and falls within the twenty-fifth percentile of comparable funds, it is significantly lower than the highest fee in such peer group. The Board acknowledged that the Fund differs from its peer group due to the unique issues of being organized as a Puerto Rican fund subject to the Puerto Rico tax regime. The Board also considered the nature and structure of other funds in the Peer Universe, noting the Adviser’s explanation that certain funds did not charge advisory fees at the fund level given their allocation structure.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, and such other matters as were deemed relevant, and with no single factor being determinative to their decision, the Board—including a majority of the Independent Trustees with the assistance of independent counsel—approved the Agreement and concluded that the investment advisory fee structure provided for in the Agreement was fair and reasonable.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On March 6, 2023, BBD LLP (“BBD”) ceased to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees approved the replacement of BBD as a result of Cohen & Company, Ltd.’s (“Cohen”) acquisition of BBD’s investment management group.
The report of BBD on the financial statements of the Fund as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through March 6, 2023: (i) there were no disagreements between the registrant and BBD on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BBD, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its report on the financial statements of the Fund for such years or interim period; and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The registrant requested that BBD furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed as an exhibit to Form N-CSRS.
On March 7, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees also recommended and approved the appointment of Cohen as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through March 7, 2023, neither the registrant, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Cohen on behalf of the Fund regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund’s financial statements, or any matter that was either: (i) the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto; or (ii) “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
