Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to present the semi-annual report for Cantor Fitzgerald Infrastructure Fund (the “Fund”) covering the period from April 1, 2024, through September 30, 2024.
The Fund is a continuously offered, non-diversified, closed-end interval fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that commenced operations on June 30, 2022. The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return, with an emphasis on current income, while seeking to invest in issuers that are helping to address certain United Nations Sustainable Goals through their products and services.
The Fund pursues its investment objective by strategically investing in a portfolio of private institutional infrastructure investment funds as well as public infrastructure securities. The Fund’s strategy is centered around three global megatrends expected to shape our future markets: (i) digital transformation, (ii) energy transition, and (iii) the enhancement of aging infrastructure.
During the semi-annual period ending September 30, 2024, the Fund’s load-waived Class A shares (NASDAQ: CAFIX) delivered a total return of 12.30% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index, which returned 10.42%, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Global Infrastructure Index which returned 16.46%, and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index which returned 5.26% (without deduction for fees, expenses or taxes). The Fund announced a third-quarter distribution of $0.1170 per Class A share (NASDAQ: CAFIX), $0.1156 per Class C share (NASDAQ: CFCIX), $0.1174 per Class I share (NASDAQ: CFIIX), and $0.1174 per Class S share (NASDAQ: CFISX) representing a 4.00% annualized distribution rate based on the average daily NAV/share over the quarter. The Fund’s distribution rate since inception is 4.68%.1,2,3
As of September 30, 2024, 88.94% of the Fund’s net assets were invested in infrastructure investments with 61.96% in publicly traded infrastructure holdings and 26.98% in private infrastructure holdings. The remaining 11.06% of net assets were in short-term instruments and other assets.
The overall focus of capital markets and the U.S. Federal Reserve gradually shifted over the six months ending September 30, 2024, from taming inflation to the pace of job growth in the U.S., as measured by CPI inflation dropped during this period from 3.5% to 2.4%, and payroll growth fell to an average of 166,000 jobs per month, down from 230,000 per month. The 10-year U.S. Treasury interest rate responded to the slowing economy when the Federal Reserve decided to cut the benchmark interest rate range by 50 basis points. The Federal Reserve joined over 50% of other global central banks in cutting benchmark interest rates by mid-year, compared to none at the start of 2024. Interest-sensitive market sectors such as utilities, real estate, homebuilders, and financials had already begun discounting the expected September rate cut well before it was implemented. Long-duration assets, like large-capitalization growth stocks, continued their strong relative performance. Nevertheless, there were positive signs that the market was beginning to broaden, including other sectors.
While the decline in interest rates helped the utility group’s relative performance, the improving macro backdrop for the utility industry was key. Power demand in the U.S. is accelerating for the first time in decades due to the electrification of the country and the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. The Fund’s largest holdings in the sector, including Constellation Energy, Vistra, and NextEra Energy all gained during the period. There is an underlying tailwind in performance from these names, which have positive exposure to growing demand and a tightening supply/demand fundamental for power. Moreover, as a matter of national security policy, we expect that the U.S. government will continue to prioritize energy security and AI dominance, benefiting the sector regardless of the outcome of the upcoming November elections.
The Fund’s continued overweight to independent power producers (IPPs) provided a material boost to the fund. Texas IPPs performed well due to volatile energy markets in their service territories and recent power auctions held in Texas, which priced future power delivery at twice current rates. Over the six months ending September 30, 2024, several purchase power agreements (PPAs) were signed by nuclear power utilities with hyper-scalers like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google to provide clean energy for AI-driven data centers. A top Fund holding Constellation Energy appreciated 41.1% in the six months ending September 30, 2024, primarily due to their new agreement with Microsoft to provide clean nuclear power to new data centers. This follows closely an agreement between Amazon Web Services and Talen Nuclear facility to provide power for data centers. Forward power prices surged in Texas as AI-driven data centers needed to back up clean power sources with more traditional sources like natural gas. Our two Fund holdings in midstream energy companies, DT Midstream and Williams Co. also contributed to relative Fund performance as the value of their existing natural gas pipeline networks grows to support natural gas-fired co-generation units. We expect this dynamic to continue as Texas emerges as the second-largest home to AI-powered data centers, which require substantially more power compared to traditional data centers. Overall power demand in the U.S. is expected to increase significantly versus past decades as electrification and energy transition macro trends proceed. This should benefit U.S. utilities broadly, as revenue growth accelerates and supports strong dividend growth.
Residential solar company SolarEdge Technologies was the largest detractor from the Fund’s relative performance over the period ending September 30, 2024, as supply chain issues and changes in California residential solar incentives resulted in excess inventories and the need to work down those inventories at the expense of current sales demand. Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure Company also detracted from Fund performance during the period due to the company initiating an evaluation process to determine if shareholders were better served by going private. Ultimately, the company decided against it, and the shares declined materially.
Consistent with the theme of Enhancement of Aging Infrastructure, during the period the Fund made its first co-investment in a private senior secured facility plus warrants co-investment opportunity with Irradiant Orchid Partners, LP. This investment recapitalizes the leading provider of vehicle emissions testing services and equipment in the U.S., Opus Inspection Inc., and supports the Fund’s allocation to transportation infrastructure.
Consistent with the theme of Energy Transition, the Fund completed its largest co-investment alongside Blackstone Infrastructure Partners’ flagship renewables platform in Invenergy, the leading independent renewables energy developer in the U.S. Invenergy develops, builds, owns, and operates power generation and energy storage projects across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, including wind, solar, and natural gas power generation facilities.
Having invested in Digital Bridge Credit Fund L.P., which closed in November of 2023 and consistent with the investment theme of Digital Transformation the Fund committed to DigitalBridge Credit Fund II, L.P. which primarily targets private direct lending to companies operating in digital infrastructure focused on edge computing, last-mile connectivity, and cloud- enabled technologies. Additionally, the Fund added its first secondary market transaction in Peppertree Fund VIII, LP, as well as an investment in Peppertree Fund X, LP. Peppertree Capital Management, Inc. is a private equity firm focused on making investments in communication infrastructure companies, with more than $6.5 billion under management. Formed in 2004, the company has invested in the development or acquisition of more than 8,000 communication infrastructure assets, as well as making fiber and spectrum investments.
We have positioned the portfolio consistent with such megatrends and are strategically adding to investments that we believe have attractive growth and income potential.
We believe the Fund is well-positioned to benefit from the enduring and fundamental needs of today’s global population and deliver on its stated investment objective through measured and mindful infrastructure investing. We value your trust and confidence and thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Underhill

1 | The Fund’s distribution policy is to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. The level of quarterly distributions (including any return of capital) is not fixed, and this distribution policy is subject to change. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. All or a portion of the distributions consist of a return of capital based on the character of the distributions received from the underlying holdings. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all distributions will be made after the end of each year. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares. There is no assurance that the Fund will continue to declare distributions or that they will continue at these rates. There can be no assurance that any investment will be effective in achieving the Fund’s investment objectives, delivering positive returns, or avoiding losses. The Fund accrues distributions daily. The current distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the daily accrual rate of the Fund as of the date listed. The Fund’s distribution policy is to make quarterly distributions to its shareholders, but the amount of such distributions is not fixed. A portion of the distributions since inception has included a return of capital (non-dividend distributions) based on the character of the distributions received from the underlying holdings and may do so in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s most recent Section 19(a) notice for an estimate of the composition of the Fund’s most recent distribution, available at www.cantorinfrastructurefund.com/literature. The actual components of the Fund’s distributions for U.S. tax reporting purposes can only be determined as of the end of each calendar year and will be reported on Form 1099-DIV. A distribution comprised in whole or in part by a return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with yield, income, or net profit. |
| 2 | The total annual fund operating expense ratio, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements, is 11.12% for Class A, 11.87% for Class C, and 10.87% for Class I. The Adviser and the Fund have entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) under which the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its fees and to pay or absorb the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund (including all organizational and offering expenses, but excluding interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses), to the extent that such expenses exceed 2.50%, 3.25%, and 2.25% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, C, and I shares, respectively (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect at least until July 31, 2025, unless and until the Board approves its modification or termination for Class A, C, and I shares. |
| 3 | The Fund’s inception date was June 30, 2022, and its initial net asset value was $10.00. |

Performance Metrics1
As of September 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
1 | The performance data quoted represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. The performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Fund performance based on load-waived Class A shares and does not reflect any sales charge but does reflect management fees and other expenses. The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.75%. If the data reflected the deduction of such charges, the performance would be lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For current performance information, visit www.cantorinfrastructurefund.com. |
Due to financial statement adjustments, performance information presented herein for the Fund may differ from the Fund’s financial highlights, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Inception Date: June 30, 2022
Gross Expense Ratio: 4.98% Net Expense Ratio: 3.01% (inclusive of estimated Acquired Fund Fees & Expenses)
The Adviser and the Fund have entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement to the extent that they exceed 2.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the Expense Limitation). In consideration of the Adviser’s agreement to limit the Fund’s expenses, the Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser in the amount of any fees waived and Fund expenses paid or absorbed, subject to the limitations that: (1) the reimbursement for fees and expenses will be made only if payable not more than three years from the date in which they were incurred; and (2) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the lesser of the Expense Limitation in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement to be exceeded.

The Fund defines an infrastructure company as a company that derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from, or devotes at least 50% of its assets to, the ownership, management, development, construction, renovation, enhancement, or operation of infrastructure assets or the provision of services to companies engaged in such activities. Infrastructure assets may include, among other asset types, regulated assets (such as electricity generation, transmission and distribution facilities, gas transportation and distribution systems, water distribution, and wastewater collection and processing facilities), transportation assets (such as toll roads, airports, seaports, railway lines, intermodal facilities), renewable power generation (wind, solar and hydropower) and communications assets (including broadcast and wireless towers, fiber, data centers, distributed network systems and satellite networks).
Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its investment objective. There is no guarantee that any investing strategy will be successful. The Fund is a closed-end investment company.
ESG and sustainable investing may take into consideration factors beyond traditional financial information to select securities, which could result in relative investment performance deviating from other strategies or broad market benchmarks, depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market. Further, ESG and Sustainable investing strategies may rely on certain values-based criteria to eliminate exposures found in similar strategies or broad market benchmarks, which could also result in relative investment performance deviating. There is no assurance that employing ESG and sustainable strategies will result in more favorable investment performance.
The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investment in infrastructure- related companies. Risks associated with infrastructure-related companies include: (a) realized revenue volume may be significantly lower than projected and/or there will be cost overruns; (b) infrastructure project sponsors will alter their terms making a project no longer economical; (c) macroeconomic factors such as low gross domestic product growth or high nominal interest rates will raise the average cost of infrastructure funding; (d) government
regulation may affect rates charged to infrastructure customers; (e) government budgetary constraints will impact infrastructure projects; (f) special tariffs will be imposed; and (g) changes in tax laws, regulatory policies or accounting standards could be unfavorable. Other risks include environmental damage due to a company’s operations or an accident, a natural disaster, changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure and terrorist acts. Any of these events could cause the value of the Fund’s investments in infrastructure- related companies to decline.
By investing in the Fund, a shareholder will not be deemed to be an investor in any underlying fund and will not have the ability to exercise any rights attributable to an investor in any such underlying fund related to their investment. The Fund’s investment in Private Investment Funds will require it to bear a pro rata share of the vehicles’ expenses, including management and performance fees. Also, once an investment is made in a Private Investment Fund, neither the Adviser nor any Sub-Adviser will be able to exercise control over investment decisions made by the Private Investment Fund. The Fund may invest in securities of other investment companies, including ETFs. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management fees and other expenses paid by investment companies in which it invests, in addition to the management fees (and other expenses) paid by the Fund.

Cantor Fitzgerald Infrastructure Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2021 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), as a continuously offered, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund is an interval fund that will provide limited liquidity by offering to make quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value (“NAV”), which will be calculated on a daily basis. The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return, with an emphasis on current income, while seeking to invest in issuers that are helping to address certain United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) through their products and services.
The Fund currently offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class S shares. Class A shares commenced operations on June 30, 2022, Class C and I commenced operations on March 20, 2023, and Class S commenced operations on May 22, 2024. Class A shares are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75%, while Class C and I are not subject to a sales load.
| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries: The Fund may make investments through wholly owned subsidiaries (each a “Subsidiary” and together, the “Subsidiaries”). Such Subsidiaries will not be registered under the Investment Company Act; however, the Fund will wholly own and control any Subsidiaries. The Board of Trustees (“Board”) has oversight responsibility for the investment activities of the Fund, including its investment in any Subsidiary, and the Fund’s role as sole shareholder owner of any Subsidiary. To the extent applicable to the investment activities of a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. The Fund would “look through” any such Subsidiary to determine compliance with its investment policies. The Fund complies with Section 8 of the 1940 Act governing investment policies on an aggregate basis with any Subsidiary. The Fund also complies with Section 18 of the 1940 Act governing capital structure and leverage on an aggregate basis with each Subsidiary so that the Fund treats a Subsidiary’s debt as its own for purposes of Section 18. Further, each Subsidiary complies with the provisions of Section 17 of the 1940 Act relating to affiliated transactions and custody. Any Subsidiary would use UMB Bank, n.a. as custodian. The Fund will not create or acquire primary control of any entity which engages in investment activities in securities or other assets, other than entities wholly owned by the Fund.
As of September 30, 2024, there is one active Subsidiary: CF IIX Holdings LLC (the “Sub Fund”), formed in Delaware. The Subsidiary has the same investment objective as the Fund. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets, and Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Fund include the accounts of the Subsidiary. All inter company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation for the Fund.
As of September 30, 2024, the total value of investments held by the Sub Fund is $3,276,317 or approximately 1.5% of the Fund’s net assets.

Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) |
September 30, 2024 |
Securities Valuation – The Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Cantor Fitzgerald Investment Advisors, L.P. (the “Adviser”) as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Board may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, which approval shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.
Valuation of Public Securities – Readily marketable portfolio securities listed on a public exchange are valued at their current market values determined on the basis of market quotations obtained from independent pricing services approved by the Board. Such quotes typically utilize official closing prices, generally the last sale price, reported to the applicable securities exchange if readily available. Portfolio securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined as reflected by the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Securities trading on NASDAQ are valued at NASDAQ official closing price.
If market or dealer quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the Adviser will determine in good faith, the fair value of such securities. For securities that are fair valued in the ordinary course of Fund operations, the Board has designated the performance of fair value determinations to the Adviser as valuation designee, subject to the Board’s oversight. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee to help oversee the implementation of procedures for fair value determinations. In determining the fair value of a security for which there are no readily available market or dealer quotations, the Adviser and the Valuation Committee, will take into account all reasonably available information that may be relevant to a particular security including, but not limited to: pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; the enterprise value of the portfolio company; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, comparison to the values and current pricing of publicly traded securities that have comparable characteristics; comparison to publicly traded securities including factors such as yield, maturity, and credit quality; knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; fundamental analytical data, such as periodic financial statements, and other factors or information relevant to the security, issuer, or market. Fair valuation involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.
Valuation of Private Investment Funds – The Fund’s allocation to Private Investment Funds generally includes open end private institutional infrastructure investment funds that invest in the ownership, management, development, construction, renovation, enhancement, or operation of infrastructure assets or the provision of services to companies engaged in such activities. The Private Investment Funds have generally adopted valuation practices consistent with the valuation standards and techniques established by the FASB Auditing Standards Codification.
The sponsors or agents of the Private Investment Funds measure their investment assets at fair value and report a NAV per share no less frequently than quarterly (“Sponsor NAV”). Such Sponsor NAVs are reviewed by the Adviser upon receipt and subsequently applied to the Fund’s NAV following consultation with the Private Investment Fund sponsor, if necessary. In between receipt of Sponsor NAVs, where applicable, the value of each Private Investment Fund is adjusted daily by the change in a proprietary index (the “Index”) that the Fund’s Board has deemed representative of the private infrastructure market. This process is applied daily to each respective Private Investment Fund until the receipt of the next Sponsor NAV. The Index seeks to reflect market conditions of the broader private infrastructure market in an effort to ensure any such changes in market conditions are reflected in the NAV of the Fund. The Index incorporates data from third -party data providers and broad securities indices (the “Index Constituents”) . The Index is monitored by the Adviser on a regular basis, and the Adviser will consult with the Valuation Committee if monitoring suggests a modification to the Index Constituents or other change(s) to the Index to better reflect market conditions. Further, in the event that a Sponsor NAV is not provided by a Private Investment Fund following the conclusion of such Private Investment Fund’s valuation period, the Adviser shall inform the Valuation Committee and a meeting may be called to determine fair value.

The valuations of the Private Investment Funds have a considerable impact on the Fund’s NAV as, under normal market conditions, a significant portion of the Fund’s assets will be invested in Private Investment Funds. Market and dealer quotations are generally not readily available for the Private Investment Funds in which the Fund invests, and as such, the Fund utilizes Sponsor NAVs or other valuation methodologies when determining the fair value of the Private Investment Funds. The Fund may also use a third party valuation specialist to assist in determining fair value of the Private Investment Funds held in the Fund’s portfolio. As of September 30, 2024, the Fund invested $57,629,708 in Private Investment Funds.
Distributions from Private Investment Funds will be received as underlying investments of the Private Investment Funds are liquidated. Distributions from Private Investment Funds occur at irregular intervals, and the exact timing of distributions from the Private Investment Funds has not been communicated from the Private Investment Funds. It is estimated that distributions will occur over the life of the Investment Funds.
Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. Dollars using foreign exchange rates provided by a recognized pricing service.
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurement. 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 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The 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 September 30, 2024 for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Common Stocks | | $ | 130,797,105 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 130,797,105 | |

The Fund did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 securities during the period.

In determining fair values as of September 30, 2024, the Advisor has, as a practical expedient, estimated fair value of each Private Investment Fund using the NAV (or its equivalent) provided by the Portfolio Fund Management of each Private Investment Fund as of that date. Each investment for which fair value is measured using the Private Investment Fund’s NAV as a practical expedient is not required to be categorized within the fair value hierarchy. Accordingly, Private Investment Funds with a fair value of $57,629,708 for the Fund, have not been categorized.
The Fund’s investments in Private Investment Fund, along with their corresponding unfunded commitments and other attributes, as of September 30, 2024, are briefly summarized in the table below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Notice | | Redemption |
Financing | | Investment | | Fair | | | Unfunded | | | Remaining | | Redemption | | Period | | Restriction |
Stage | | Strategy | | Value | | | Commitments | | | Life | | Frequency | | (In Days) | | Terms |
Buyout | | Control investments in established companies | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | N/A | | None | | N/A | | N/A |
Growth Capital | | Non-control investments in established companies with strong growth characteristics | | | — | | | | — | | | N/A | | None | | N/A | | N/A |
Special | | Investments in mezzanine, distressed debt, energy/utility investments and turnarounds | | | 57,629,708 | | | | 55,839,091 | | | 8 years | | None | | N/A | | N/A |
The information summarized in the table above represents the general terms for the specified financing stage. Individual Private Investment Funds may have terms that are more or less restrictive than those terms indicated for the asset class as a whole. In addition, most Private Investment Funds have the flexibility, as provided for in their constituent documents, to modify and waive such terms.
Private equity fund and private debt fund are common terms for investments that typically are made in non public companies through privately negotiated transactions. Private equity and private debt fund investors generally seek to acquire or lend on quality assets at attractive valuations and use operational expertise to enhance value and improve portfolio company performance. Buyout funds acquire private and public companies, as well as divisions of larger companies. Private equity specialists then seek to uncover value enhancing opportunities in portfolio companies, unlock the value of the portfolio company and reposition it for sale at a multiple of invested equity.
The following outlines the primary investment strategies of the Portfolio Funds held by the Fund as of September 30, 2024.
Buyouts: Control investments in established, cash flow positive companies are usually classified as buyouts. Buyout investments may focus on small , mid or large capitalization companies, and such investments collectively represent a substantial majority of the capital deployed in the overall private equity market. The use of debt financing, or leverage, is prevalent in buyout transactions — particularly in the large cap segment.
Growth Capital: Investments in new and emerging companies are usually classified as venture capital. Such investments are often in technology, healthcare or other high growth industries. Companies financed by venture capital are generally not cash flow positive at the time of investment and may require several rounds of financing before the company can be sold privately or taken public. Venture capital investors may finance companies along the full path of development or focus on certain sub stages (usually classified as seed, early and late stages) in partnership with other investors.

Special Situations: A broad range including mezzanine, distressed debt, energy/utility investments and turnarounds.
Types of private investments that the Fund may make include:
Primary Investments. Primary investments (primaries) are interests or investments in newly established private equity and private debt funds. Primaries investors subscribe for interests during an initial fundraising period, and their capital commitments are then used to fund investments in a number of individual operating companies during a defined investment period.
Secondary Investments. Secondary investments (secondaries) are interests in existing private equity and private debt funds that are acquired in privately negotiated transactions, typically after the end of the private equity fund’s fundraising period.
Direct Investments. Direct investments involve taking an interest in securities issued by an operating company, whether equity or debt. Direct equity investments generally involve new owners taking a material stake in the target company, frequently a controlling interest, and exercising significant influence on the growth and development of the company through work with the company’s management and board of directors. Debt investments often represent financing for buyout or growth investments and may have various features and covenants designed to protect the lender’s interests; such investments may include both secured and unsecured loans, bonds and/or other forms of debt. Direct investments may vary in duration, but usually are exited within two to six years.
Investments Valued at NAV — GAAP permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value based on the NAV per share, or its equivalent, of the investment fund as a practical expedient, without further adjustment, unless it is probable that the investment would be sold at a value significantly different than the NAV. If the practical expedient NAV is not as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, then the NAV should be adjusted to reflect any significant events that may change the valuation. In using the NAV as a practical expedient, certain attributes of the investment that may impact its fair value are not considered in measuring fair value. Attributes of those investments include the investment strategies of the investment and may also include, but are not limited to, restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date and any unfunded commitments. The Fund is permitted to invest in alternative investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and, as such, has elected to use the NAV as calculated on the reporting entity’s measurement date as the fair value of the investment.
Adjustments to the NAV provided by the Portfolio Fund Manager would be considered if the practical expedient NAV was not as of the Fund’s measurement date; if it was probable that the alternative investment would be sold at a value materially different than the reported expedient NAV; or if it was determined by the Fund’s Valuation Procedures that the private investment is not being reported at fair value.
Unfunded Commitments — Typically, when the Fund invests in a Private Investment Fund, the Fund makes a commitment to invest a specified amount of capital in the applicable Private Investment Fund. The capital commitment may be drawn by the general partner of the Private Investment Fund either all at once or through a series of capital calls at the discretion of the general partner. Thus, an Unfunded Commitment represents the portion of the Fund’s overall capital commitment to a particular Private Investment Fund that has not yet been called by the general partner of the Private Investment Fund. Unfunded Commitments may subject the Fund to certain risks. For example, the Fund may be required to: liquidate other portfolio investments, potentially at inopportune times, in order to obtain the cash needed to satisfy its obligations with respect to a capital call; borrow under a line of credit which may result in additional expenses to the Fund; or, to the extent a buyer can be identified and subject to the provisions of the limited partnership agreement of the relevant Private Investment Fund, seek to sell/assign the interest subject to the capital call to a third party thereby eliminating the obligation. In addition, should the Fund be unable to satisfy its commitment obligation on a timely basis and defaults on a called capital commitment, the underlying Private Investment Fund, pursuant to its limited partnership agreement, typically has a number of potential remedies, including, by way of illustration, a reallocation of the Fund’s defaulted commitment amount to other limited partners, a reallocation of a portion of the Fund’s existing interest to the other limited partners as a penalty for the default, or the general partner of underlying Private Investment Fund could sue the Fund for breach of contract. As of September 30, 2024, the Fund had total Unfunded Commitments in the amount of $55,839,091.

Security Transactions and Related Income — Security transactions are accounted for on a 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least quarterly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Organization and Offering Costs — Organization costs of the Trust were paid by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement as discussed in Note 4, while offering costs consisting of the initial prospectus and registration of the Fund were paid by the Fund and amortized over the first 12 months of operations.
Fund Expenses — The Fund bears all expenses incurred in the course of its operations, including, but not limited to, the following: all fees and expenses of Portfolio Funds in which the Fund invests (“acquired fund fees”), management fees, fees and expenses associated with any credit facility, legal fees, administrator fees, audit and tax preparation fees, custodial fees, transfer agency fees, registration expenses, expenses of the Board and other administrative expenses. Certain of these operating expenses are subject to an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement” as further discussed in Note 4). Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Closing costs associated with the purchase of Portfolio Funds and Direct Investments are included in the cost of the investment.
Foreign Currency Transactions — All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all of its taxable income, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2024, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s September 30, 2025 year-end tax return. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio, and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund may make significant investments. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties related to income taxes would be recorded as tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
The Sub Fund is taxed as a regular C corporation for federal income tax purposes and as such is obligated to pay federal and state income tax. This treatment differs from most investment companies, which elect to be treated as “regulated investment companies” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) in order to avoid paying entity level income taxes. Under current law, the Sub Fund is not eligible to elect treatment as a regulated investment company. However, the amount of taxes paid by the Sub Fund will vary depending on the amount of capital appreciation of its investments and such taxes will reduce a Fund shareholders return from an investment in the Fund.

Since the Sub Fund will be subject to taxation on the capital appreciation of its investments, the NAV of the Fund shares will also be reduced by the accrual of any deferred tax liability. As a result, the Fund’s after tax performance would be impacted.
The Sub Fund will accrue deferred income taxes for any future tax liability associated with capital appreciation of its investments. Upon the sale of an investment, the Sub Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes. The Sub Fund will rely to some extent on information, which is not necessarily timely, to estimate the deferred tax liability for purposes of financial statement reporting and determining the Fund’s NAV. From time to time, the Adviser will modify the estimates or assumptions related to the Sub Fund’s deferred tax liability as new information becomes available. The Sub Fund will generally compute deferred income taxes based on the federal income tax rate applicable to corporations and an assumed rate attributable to state taxes.
Indemnification — The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. 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 six months ended September 30, 2024 cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments, amounted to $126,741,334 and $1,025,201, respectively.
Associated Risks — During the normal course of business, the Fund may purchase, sell or hold various securities, which may result in certain risks, the amount of which is not apparent from the financial statements.
Market Risk — An investment in the Fund’s shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in the Fund’s shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.
Private Investment Fund Risk — The Fund’s investment in Private Investment Funds will require it to bear a pro rata share of the vehicles’ expenses, including management and performance fees. The fees the Fund pays to invest in a Private Investment Fund may be higher than if the manager of the Private Investment Fund managed the Fund’s assets directly. The performance fees charged by certain Private Investment Funds may create an incentive for its manager to make investments that are riskier and/or more speculative than those it might have made in the absence of a performance fee. Furthermore, Private Investment Funds, like the other Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest, are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the vehicle, and also may employ leverage such that their returns are more than one times that of their benchmark, which could amplify losses suffered by the Fund when compared to unleveraged investments. Shareholders of the Private Investment Funds are not entitled to the protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). For example, Private Investment Funds need not have independent boards, shareholder approval of advisory contracts may not be required, the Private Investment Funds may utilize leverage and may engage in joint transactions with affiliates. These characteristics present additional risks for shareholders.
Liquidity Risk — There currently is no secondary market for the Fund’s shares and the Adviser does not expect that a secondary market will develop. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of the Fund’s shares outstanding at NAV. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer. The Fund’s investments also are subject to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations.

September 30, 2024 |
Infrastructure Industry Risk — The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investment in infrastructure-related companies. Risks associated with infrastructure -related companies include: (a) realized revenue volume may be significantly lower than projected and/or there will be cost overruns; (b) infrastructure project sponsors will alter their terms making a project no longer economical; (c) macroeconomic factors such as low gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth or high nominal interest rates will raise the average cost of infrastructure funding; (d) government regulation may affect rates charged to infrastructure customers; (e) government budgetary constraints will impact infrastructure projects; (f ) special tariffs will be imposed; and (g) changes in tax laws, regulatory policies or accounting standards could be unfavorable. Other risks include environmental damage due to a company’s operations or an accident, a natural disaster, changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure and terrorist acts. Any of these events could cause the value of the Fund’s investments in infrastructure-related companies to decline.
Underlying Funds Risk — The Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and also may be higher than other funds that invest directly in securities. The Underlying Funds are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the specific Underlying Fund.
Lack of Control Over Private Investment Funds and Other Portfolio Investments — Once the Adviser has selected a Private Investment Fund or Other Investment Vehicle, the Adviser will have no control over the investment decisions made by any such Underlying Fund. Although the Fund and the Adviser will regularly evaluate each Underlying Fund and its manager to determine whether their respective investment programs are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the Adviser will not have any control over the investments made by any Underlying Fund. Even though the Underlying Funds are subject to certain constraints, the managers may change aspects of their investment strategies. The managers may do so at any time (for example, such change may occur immediately after providing the Adviser with the quarterly unaudited financial information for a Private Investment Fund). The Adviser may reallocate the Fund’s investments among the Underlying Funds, but the Adviser’s ability to do so may be constrained by the withdrawal limitations imposed by the Underlying Funds, which may prevent the Fund from reacting rapidly to market changes should an Underlying Fund fail to effect portfolio changes consistent with such market changes and the demands of the Adviser. Such withdrawal limitations may also restrict the Adviser’s ability to terminate investments in Underlying Funds that are poorly performing or have otherwise had adverse changes. The Adviser will be dependent on information provided by the Underlying Fund, including quarterly unaudited financial statements, which if inaccurate, could adversely affect the Adviser’s ability to manage the Fund’s investment portfolio in accordance with its investment objective. By investing in the Fund, a shareholder will not be deemed to be an investor in any Underlying Fund and will not have the ability to exercise any rights attributable to an investor in any such Underlying Fund related to their investment.
Use of Leverage by the Fund — Although the Fund has the option to borrow, there are significant risks that may be assumed in connection with such borrowings. Investors in the Fund should consider the various risks of financial leverage, including, without limitation, the matters described below. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy would be successful. Financial leverage involves risks and special considerations for shareholders including: (i) the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV of the shares than a comparable portfolio without leverage; (ii) the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings and short - term debt that the Fund must pay will reduce the return to the shareholders; (iii) the effect of financial leverage in a market experiencing rising interest rates, which would likely cause a greater decline in the NAV of the shares than if the Fund were not leveraged; and (iv) the potential for an increase in operating costs, which may reduce the Fund’s total return.
Use of Leverage by Underlying Funds — In addition to any borrowing utilized by the Fund, the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests may utilize financial leverage, subject to the limitations of their charters and operative documents. In the case of Private Investment Funds, such Funds are not subject to the limitations imposed by the 1940 Act regarding the use of leverage with respect to which registered investment companies, including the Fund, are subject. In that regard, the Fund intends to limit its borrowing to an amount that does not exceed 33 1/3% of the Fund’s gross asset value. Leverage by Underlying Funds and/or the Fund has the effect of potentially increasing losses.

Valuation of Private Investment Funds — The Private Investment Funds are not publicly traded and the Fund may consider information provided by the institutional asset manager of each respective Private Investment Fund to determine the estimated value of the Fund’s investment therein. The valuation provided by an institutional asset manager as of a specific date may vary from the actual sale price that may be obtained if such investment were sold to a third party. To determine the estimated value of the Fund’s investment in Private Investment Funds, the Adviser considers, among other things, information provided by the Private Investment Funds, including quarterly unaudited financial statements, which if inaccurate could adversely affect the Adviser’s ability to value accurately the Fund’s shares. Private Investment Funds that invest primarily in publicly traded securities are more easily valued.
ESG Investing Risk — The Fund intends to screen out particular companies and industries pursuant to certain criteria established by the Sub-Adviser, and to incorporate ESG investment insights into its portfolio construction process. The Fund may forego certain investment opportunities by screening out certain companies and industries. The Fund’s results may be lower than other funds that do not apply certain exclusionary screens or use different ESG criteria to screen out certain companies or industries. The Fund’s incorporation of ESG investment insights may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain companies or industries. The Fund’s results may be lower than other funds that do not consider ESG characteristics or use a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate ESG characteristics. Further, investors may differ in their views of what constitutes positive or negative ESG characteristics of a security. As a result, the Fund may invest in securities that do not reflect the beliefs of any particular investor. In addition, the Fund may not be successful in its objectives related to ESG. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be achieved, and ESG-related assessments are at the discretion of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser are dependent upon certain information and data from third party providers of ESG research, which may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. As a result, there is a risk that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser may incorrectly assess a security or issuer. There is also a risk that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser may not apply the relevant ESG criteria correctly or that the Fund could have indirect exposure to issuers who do not meet the relevant ESG criteria used by the Fund. Neither the Fund, the Adviser, nor the Sub-Adviser make any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the fairness, correctness, accuracy, reasonableness or completeness of such ESG assessment. There may be limitations with respect to availability of ESG data in certain sectors, as well as limited availability of investments with positive ESG assessments in certain sectors. The evaluation of ESG criteria is subjective and may change over time.
Preferred Securities Risk — Preferred securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is, in general, the risk that the price of a preferred security falls when interest rates rise. Securities with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a security may not be able to make principal and interest or dividend payments on the security as they become due. Holders of preferred securities may not receive dividends, or the payment can be deferred for some period of time. In bankruptcy, creditors are generally paid before the holders of preferred securities.
Convertible Securities Risk — Convertible securities are typically issued as bonds or preferred shares with the option to convert to equities. As a result, convertible securities are a hybrid that have characteristics of both bonds and common stocks and are subject to risks associated with both debt securities and equity securities. The market value of bonds and preferred shares tend to decline as interest rates increase. Fixed income and preferred securities also are subject to credit risk, which is the risk that an issuer of a security may not be able to make principal and interest or dividend payments as due. Convertible securities may have characteristics similar to common stocks especially when their conversion value is higher than their value as a bond. The price of equity securities into which a convertible security may convert may fall because of economic or political changes. Stock prices in general may decline over short or even extended periods of time. Additionally, the value of the embedded conversion option may be difficult to value and evaluate because the option does not trade separately from the convertible security.
Fixed Income Risk — Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. Fixed income securities are also subject to default risk.

September 30, 2024 |
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk — The Fund may have investments in foreign securities. Foreign securities have investment risks different from those associated with domestic securities. Changes in foreign economies and political climates are more likely to affect the Fund with investments in foreign securities than another fund that invests exclusively in domestic securities. The value of foreign currency denominated securities or foreign currency contracts is affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. There may be less government supervision of foreign markets, resulting in non-uniform accounting practices and less publicly available information about issuers of foreign securities.
The Fund may also invest in emerging markets, which are markets of countries in the initial stages of industrialization and have low per capita income. In addition to the risks of foreign securities in general, countries in emerging markets are more volatile and can have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of issues which could reduce liquidity.
Leveraging Risk — The use of leverage, such as borrowing money to purchase securities, will cause the Fund to incur additional expenses and magnify the Fund’s gains or losses.
Credit Risk — Issuers of debt securities may not make scheduled interest and principal payments, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes.
| 4. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES |
Cantor Fitzgerald Investment Advisors, L.P. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, the Adviser, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser, the Fund pays the Adviser a management fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 the Adviser earned $1,010,265 in advisory fees.
The Adviser has engaged Capital Innovations, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act, to provide ongoing research, recommendations, and day- to-day portfolio management with respect to the Fund’s investment portfolio. Sub-advisory services are provided to the Fund pursuant to an agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Under the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser based on a portion of the Fund’s average daily net assets that have been allocated to the Sub-Adviser to manage. Fees paid to the Sub-Adviser are not an expense of the Fund. Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a monthly management fee computed at the annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s daily net assets. The Sub-Adviser is currently receiving the reduced fee rate of 0.15% per the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Pursuant to a written contract (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed, at least until July 31, 2025, to waive a portion of its advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse the Fund for other expenses to the extent necessary so that the total expenses incurred by the Fund (including all organizational and offering expenses, but excluding interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 2.50%, 3.25%, 2.25%, and 1.25% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class S shares, respectively (the “expense limitation”). The Adviser has also contractually agreed to waive 1.00% of its management fee for Class S shares until July 31, 2027. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 the Adviser waived fees and reimbursed expenses in the amount of $123,495 pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement.
In consideration of the Adviser’s agreement to limit the Fund’s expenses, the Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser in the amount of any fees waived and Fund expenses paid or absorbed, subject to the limitations that: (1) the reimbursement will be made only for fees and expenses incurred not more than three years from the date in which they were incurred; and (2) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the lesser of the Expense Limitation in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement to be exceeded. $76,340 is subject to recapture by the Adviser until April 11, 2025, $457,504 is subject to recapture by the Adviser until March 31, 2026 and $564,033 is subject to recapture by the Adviser until March 31, 2027.

The Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect, at least until July 31, 2025, unless and until the Board approves its modification or termination. This agreement may be terminated only by the Board on 60 days written notice to the Adviser. After July 31, 2025, the Expense Limitation Agreement may be renewed at the Adviser’s discretion.
The distributor of the Fund is Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”). The Board has adopted, on behalf of the Fund, a Shareholder Services Plan under which the Fund may compensate financial industry professionals for providing ongoing services in respect of clients with whom they have distributed shares of the Fund. Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the Fund may pay up to 0.25% per year of its average daily net assets of each of Class A and Class C, respectively, for such services. Class I and Class S shares are not subject to a Shareholder Service Fee. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Fund incurred shareholder servicing fees of $10,936 and $2,591 for Class A and Class C, respectively.
Class C shares will pay to the Distributor a Distribution Fee that will accrue at an annual rate equal to 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares and is payable on a monthly basis. Class A shares and Class I shares are not currently subject to a Distribution Fee. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Fund incurred distribution fees of $2,224 for Class C.
The Distributor acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s Class A shares. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Distributor received $ 155,821 and $25,491 in underwriting commissions for sales of Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively, of which $23,655 and $0, respectively, were retained by the principal underwriter or other affiliated broker-dealers.
In addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Fund as follows:
Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”)
UFS, an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Trust. Pursuant to a separate servicing agreement with UFS, the Fund pays UFS customary 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.
Employees of PINE Advisor Solutions, LLC (“PINE”) serve as officers of the Fund. PINE receives a monthly fee for the services provided to the Fund. The Fund also reimburses PINE for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred on the Fund’s behalf.
Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”)
Blu Giant, an affiliate of UFS and the Distributor, 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 customary fees from the Fund.

Fund management has elected a tax year-end of September 30. The tax character of Fund distributions paid for the tax years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were as follows:
| | Tax Year Ended | | | Tax Year Ended | |
| | September 30, 2023 | | | September 30, 2022 | |
Ordinary Income | | $ | 142,758 | | | $ | — | |

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income/(loss), accumulated net realized gain/(loss), and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, adjustments for partnerships, and REIT basis adjustments and C Corp ROC.
At September 30, 2023, the Fund had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains, along with capital loss carryforwards utilized as follows:

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of September 30, 2024, Charles Schwab & Co., and National Financial Services LLC held 52% and 28% respectively of the voting securities and may be deemed to control the Fund.
Pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Fund offers shareholders on a quarterly basis the option of redeeming shares, at net asset value, of no less than 5% and no more than 25% of the shares outstanding. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer, although each shareholder will have the right to require the Fund to purchase up to and including 5% of such shareholder’s shares in each quarterly repurchase. Limited liquidity will be provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchases.

Expense Examples (Unaudited) |
September 30, 2024 |
As a shareholder of the Cantor Fitzgerald Infrastructure Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including (a) redemption fees on redemptions made within 30 days of purchase and (b) sales charges (loads) on purchases of, or contingent deferred sales charges on certain redemptions; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Cantor Fitzgerald Infrastructure Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” column in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” column in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Cantor Fitzgerald Infrastructure 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 charges (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.

Cantor Fitzgerald Infrastructure Fund - Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor
In connection with the Board meeting held on June 18, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, discussed the approval of a management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”).
The Trustees were assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In connection with their deliberations regarding approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials prepared by the Advisor.
In deciding on whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the responsibilities of the Advisor under the Management Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by the Advisor to the Fund including, without limitation, the quality of its investment advisory services since inception and its coordination of services among the service providers. The Trustees evaluated the Advisor’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of the Advisor’s personnel; the Advisor’s compliance program; and the Advisor’s financial condition. After reviewing the foregoing information and further information in the memorandum from the Advisor (e.g., descriptions of the Advisor’s business, compliance program, and ADV), the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor were satisfactory and adequate.
Performance. The Trustees compared the performance of the Fund with the performance of comparable funds with similar strategies managed by other investment advisers, and applicable peer group data (e.g., Morningstar category and peer group average). The Trustees noted that the Fund outperformed the peer group, category, and benchmark indices for all periods shown with the exception of the S&P 500 TR Index. The Trustees noted that the Advisor believed the underperformance compared to the S&P 500 TR Index during the period was attributable to industries outside the scope of the Fund’s infrastructure-focused strategy. The Trustees also considered the Advisor’s role in supervising the investment activity of the Sub-Advisor. After reviewing the investment performance of the Fund and other factors, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Fund and the Advisor were satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses. The Trustees next considered information regarding the management fee for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the management fee and net expense ratio for the Fund were each slightly lower than the peer group average and higher than the Morningstar category average. The Trustees noted that the Advisor believed that the Fund’s management fee and net expense ratio are higher than the Morningstar category average due to the fact that the other funds in the category are infrastructure mutual funds, which only hold publicly traded securities. Following this comparison, and upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to the Advisor were not unreasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor and that they reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm’s length.
Profitability. The Trustees considered the Advisor’s profitability in connection with its management of the Fund. The Trustees also took into account the services the Advisor provides under the Management Agreement including the Advisor’s costs in managing the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor did not realize a profit for the prior twelve months of operations. The Trustees discussed the profitability level of the Advisor, noting, among other factors and circumstances, that the level of profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. In this regard, the Trustees reviewed the Fund’s operational history and noted that the size of the Fund had not provided an opportunity to realize economies of scale. The Trustees then reviewed the fee arrangements for breakpoints or other provisions that would allow shareholders to benefit from economies of scale in the future as the Fund grew. The Trustees determined that the advisory fee would stay the same regardless of the asset levels. It was pointed out that breakpoints in the advisory fee could be reconsidered in the future as the Fund grows.
Conclusion. The Trustees, having requested and received such information from the Advisor as they believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Management Agreement, with the Independent Trustees having met in executive session with counsel, determined that approval of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year term should be approved.
Cantor Fitzgerald Infrastructure Fund - Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Sub-Advisor
In connection with the Board meeting held on June 18, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, discussed the approval of a sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, with respect to the Fund (the “Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement”).
The Trustees were assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the approval of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In connection with their deliberations regarding approval of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials prepared by the Sub-Advisor.
In deciding on whether to approve the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the responsibilities of the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by the Sub-Advisor to the Fund including, without limitation, the quality of its investment sub-advisory services since the Fund’s inception (including research and recommendations with respect to portfolio securities); its procedures for formulating investment recommendations and assuring compliance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and limitations. The Trustees evaluated the Sub-Advisor’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of the Sub-Advisor’s personnel; compliance program; and financial condition. It was noted that the Sub-Advisor did not have any changes to their personnel since the last review. After reviewing the foregoing information and further information in the memorandum from the Sub-Advisor (e.g., descriptions of the Sub-Advisor’s business, compliance program, and Form ADV), the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Advisor were satisfactory and adequate for the Fund.
Performance. The Trustees compared the performance of the Fund with the performance of comparable funds with similar strategies managed by other investment advisers, and applicable peer group data (e.g., Morningstar category and peer group average). The Trustees noted that the Fund outperformed the peer group, category, and benchmark indices for all periods shown with the exception of the S&P 500 TR Index. The Trustees noted that the Sub-Advisor believed the underperformance compared to the S&P 500 TR Index during the period was attributable to industries outside the scope of the Fund’s infrastructure-focused strategy. After reviewing the investment performance of the Fund and other factors, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Fund and the Sub-Advisor were satisfactory.

Fees and Expenses. The Trustees first noted the sub-advisory fee for the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees compared the sub-advisory fee of the Fund to other comparable accounts managed by the Sub-Advisor and noted that the Sub-Advisor fee paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to its services to the Fund was lower than that paid to comparable accounts. Following this comparison, and upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to the Sub-Advisor were not unreasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Advisor and that they reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm’s length.
Profitability. The Trustees considered the Sub-Advisor’s profitability in connection with its management of the Fund. The Trustees also took into account the services the Sub-Advisor provides under the Sub-Advisory Agreement including the Sub-Advisor’s costs in managing the Fund. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisor did not realize a profit for the prior twelve months of operations.
