Hawaiian
Tax-Free Trust
“Municipal Bond Fund
Investing – The Basics”
Serving Hawaii investors since 1985

May, 2019

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

We have found over the years that it never hurts to reinforce for shareholders the fundamentals of Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust. Therefore, this Annual Report letter is intended to provide you with a brief synopsis of the Trust’s objectives, how we seek to achieve those objectives and the benefits that your Trust provides to you as well as to your fellow Hawaii residents.

The Trust’s stated objective is to seek to provide as high a level of current income exempt from Hawaii state and regular federal income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.

In simple terms, Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust is managed to minimize, to the extent feasible, changes in the Net Asset Value of Trust shares. The high-quality, intermediate maturity strategy of the Trust was developed, and is adhered to, in an effort to manage and seek to minimize the range of share price variation.

Another benefit from an investment in Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust is the ability to earn monthly income that is double tax-free. Trust dividends can be used by you to help you pay your living expenses, or they can be reinvested in additional shares of the Trust, thereby providing you the opportunity to benefit from compounding.

How does Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust strive to ensure that its objective of capital preservation and tax-free income is accomplished?

The Trust’s investment strategy was developed to facilitate the management of particular types of risk. For example,

·

The average maturity of bonds in the Trust falls in the intermediate range in order to facilitate the management of interest rate risk since, over time, that portion of the yield curve tends to experience less volatility. More detailed information related to interest rate risk is available on our website (www.aquilafunds.com) athttps://bit.ly/2EKr69I. The high credit quality of bonds in the Trust facilitates the management of credit risk. Bonds of investment grade quality, such as those held by the Trust, are considered, by the rating agencies, as being capable of making principal and interest payments as scheduled.

Another attribute of the Trust is diversification of the individual municipal bonds across various locations in the State and various kinds of projects. Not only does this help to reduce risk, but it also enhances the quality of life of all shareholders and other residents of the State and helps the economic development of Hawaii.

NOT A PART OF THE ANNUAL REPORT

We well recognize that you have entrusted your hard-earned dollars to our care. It is a responsibility which your Trustees and Management take very seriously. Rest assured that we intend to continue to do our utmost to merit your confidence.

Sincerely,

Diana P. Herrmann, Vice Chair and President

Hawaiian
Tax-Free Trust
ANNUAL REPORT Management Discussion
Serving Hawaii investors since 1985

U.S. Economy

After raising short-term rates four times during calendar year 2018, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) announced in March that it would hold off raising rates in 2019 with the possibility that this pause could be further extended, depending on U.S. economic growth and inflation prospects. We see a low probability of a recession this year, with the possibility of it creeping up towards next year. Although the AAA municipal yield curve flattened, unlike the U.S. Treasury curve, it did not invert. During the first quarter of 2019, rates on shorter-term (maturity out to 3 years) municipal bonds declined by 25-35 basis points, while intermediate (7-10 year maturity) to longer term (maturity more than 10 years) declined 40 to 45 basis points. Investors, reassured by the Fed’s more dovish pronouncements, have extended out the yield curve to pick up more yield. Yield ratios for intermediate maturity municipal bonds compared to U.S. Treasuries are near 80%.

In managing Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust (the “Trust”), one of our primary foci is capital preservation (in addition to seeking to provide a high level of double tax-free income). Accordingly, we have become cautious about extending the maturity of the Trust’s bonds to reach for yield.

Fund Performance

For the 12 months ended 3/31/19, there were 5 new bond issues in the State: Hawaii State Airport System, City and County of Honolulu General Obligation (General Obligation (“G.O.”)) and Maui County G.O. in the latter half of 2018; City & County of Honolulu G.O. in January, 2019 and Hawaii State G.O. in February, 2019. The Trust participated in each of these new, high quality issues that offered additional yield and diversification benefits.

Throughout the period, Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust’s exposure to interest rate changes has been a bit lower than the Bloomberg Barclays Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), its benchmark index, as reflected by its duration. At the March 31st fiscal year-end, the Trust’s effective duration was 4.05 years compared to the Index effective duration of 4.30 years. The Bloomberg Barclays Quality Intermediate Municipal Index posted a +4.83% return for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to the Trust’s Class Y shares total return of +3.62% for the 12-month period. (Note -- Unlike the Trust, the Index does not have any operating expense nor applicable sales charges; additionally, being nationally oriented it does not reflect state-specific bond market performance.) The Trust holds higher quality issues exempt from State of Hawaii and Federal taxes, whereas the Index includes bonds from all states.

Municipal Market

Strong demand and moderate supply propelled robust returns for municipal bonds for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019.  The 3-month return for the period ending March 31st was the strongest since early 2014. The municipal market rally is attributed to

1  |  Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (continued)

several factors: (i) a decrease in the supply of new issue municipal bonds coupled with a sharp increase in investor demand, (ii) weaker than expected global and U.S. economic data in the latter half of the period, (iii) the Federal Reserve’s surprise announcement in March to pause further interest rate hikes based on its analysis of economic growth and inflation, and (iv) a rise in recession fears stemming from the last two factors.

Hawaii Economy

Although the Hawaii economy saw slower growth in 2018 compared with 2017, it was still positive and economic performance was solid. Visitor arrivals are expected to expand by 1-2% for the next two calendar years, with stable visitor spending. Hawaii is dependent on economic conditions on the U.S. Mainland and also Japan. Both geographic areas are generally expected to have positive growth but forecasts have recently been adjusted lower.

Labor market conditions in Hawaii remain healthy, but the unemployment rate is expected to creep up over the next couple of years, according to the First Quarter 2019 Report from the State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism. Looking forward, we intend to be watchful for any indications of weakness. We are mindful that the Hawaii economy has had record years of growth and that some slowing in the rate of expansion is likely. Our local government has, in our view, been proactive in taking steps to mitigate economic volatility by increasing reserves.  

Outlook and Strategy

As always, we seek to manage Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust prudently, both in terms of credit quality and interest rate risk, by investing in higher quality bonds with intermediate maturities.

Mutual fund investing involves risk and loss of principal is possible.

The market prices of the Trust’s securities may rise or decline in value due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. When market prices fall, the value of your investment may go down. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.

The value of your investment may go down when interest rates rise. A rise in interest rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term securities. Interest rates in the U.S. have begun to rise after having been at historical lows for some time, so the Trust faces a heightened risk that interest rates may continue to rise. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to move out of fixed income securities and could also result in increased redemptions from the Trust.

Investments in the Trust are subject to possible loss due to the financial failure of the issuers of underlying securities and their inability to meet their debt obligations.

The value of municipal securities can be adversely affected by changes in the financial condition of one or more individual municipal issuers or insurers of municipal issuers, regulatory developments, legislative actions, and by uncertainties and public perceptions concerning these and other factors. The Trust may be affected significantly by adverse economic, political or other events affecting state and other municipal issuers in which it invests, and may be more volatile than a more geographically diverse fund.

A portion of income may be subject to local, state, Federal and/or alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to capital gains tax.

These risks may result in share price volatility.

Any information in this Annual Report regarding market or economic trends or the factors influencing the Trust’s historical or future performance are statements of opinion as of the date of this report. These statements should not be relied upon for any other purposes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and there is no guarantee that any market forecasts discussed will be realized.

The performance of each of the other classes is not shown in the graph but is included in the table below. It should be noted that the Bloomberg Barclays Quality Index does not include any operating expenses nor sales charges, and being nationally oriented, does not reflect state-specific bond market performance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of March 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trust’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust 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 have served as the auditor for the Trust since 2005.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.   Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

HAWAIIAN TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2019

1. Organization

Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust (the “Trust”), a non-diversified, open-end investment company, was organized on May 7, 1984, as a Massachusetts business trust and commenced operations on February 20, 1985. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Class A Shares are sold at net asset value plus a sales charge of varying size (depending upon a variety of factors) paid at the time of purchase and bear a distribution fee. Class C Shares are sold at net asset value with no sales charge payable at the time of purchase but with a level charge for service and distribution fees for six years thereafter. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after six years. Class F Shares and Class Y Shares are sold only through authorized financial institutions acting for investors in a fiduciary, advisory, agency, custodial or similar capacity, and are not offered directly to retail customers. Class F Shares and Class Y Shares are sold at net asset value with no sales charge, no redemption fee, no contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) and no distribution fee.  As of the date of this report, there were no Class T Shares outstanding. All classes of shares represent interests in the same portfolio of investments and are identical as to rights and privileges but differ with respect to the effect of sales charges, the distribution and/or service fees borne by each class, expenses specific to each class, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and the exchange privileges of each class.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.

a)

Portfolio valuation: Municipal securities are valued each business day based upon information provided by a nationally prominent independent pricing service and periodically verified through other pricing services. In the case of securities for which market quotations are readily available, securities are valued by the pricing service at the mean of bid and ask quotations. If a market quotation or a valuation from the pricing service is not readily available, the security is valued at fair value determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.

b)

Fair value measurements: The Trust follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Trust’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Trust’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

23  |  Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust

HAWAIIAN TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

MARCH 31, 2019

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Trust’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, based on the best information available.

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

The following is a summary of the valuation inputs, representing 100% of the Trust’s investments, used to value the Trust’s net assets as of March 31, 2019:

Valuation Inputs*	Investments in Securities
Level 1 – Quoted Prices — Short-Term Investment	$	2,271,768
Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs — Municipal Bonds		655,466,660
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs		—
Total	$	657,738,428
* See schedule of investments for a detailed listing of securities.

c)

Subsequent events: In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date these financial statements were issued.

d)

Securities transactions and related investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are reported on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and is adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of original issue discount and market discount.

e)

Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to certain investment companies. The Trust intends to make distributions of income and securities profits sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, Federal income and excise taxes.

Management has reviewed the tax positions for each of the open tax years (2016 – 2018) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2019 tax returns and has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements.

f)

Multiple class allocations: All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class-specific expenses, which include distribution and service fees and any other items that are specifically attributed to a particular class, are also charged directly to such class on a daily basis.

HAWAIIAN TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

MARCH 31, 2019

g)

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

h)

Reclassification of capital accounts: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended March 31, 2019, there were no items identified that have been reclassified among components of net assets.

i)

The Trust 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”.

j)

New Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continue to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management has reviewed this provision and has concluded that there is no impact to the Trust.

3. Fees and Related Party Transactions

a)

Management Arrangements:

The Asset Management Group of Bank of Hawaii (the “Adviser”), serves as Investment Adviser to the Trust. In this role, under an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the Trust’s investments. Aquila Investment Management LLC (the “Administrator/Business Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aquila Management Corporation, the Trust’s founder and sponsor, serves as the Administrator/Business Manager for the Trust under an Administration and Business Management Agreement with the Trust. The Administrator/Business Manager provides all administrative services to the Trust other than those relating to its investment portfolio. These include providing the office of the Trust and all related services as well as overseeing the activities of all the various support organizations to the Trust such as the shareholder servicing agent, fund accounting agent, custodian, legal counsel, auditors and distributor.

The Trust pays the Adviser a fee which is payable monthly and computed on the net assets of the Trust as of the close of business each day at the annual rate of 0.23% of the Trust’s net assets up to and including $875 million; 0.17% of the Trust’s net assets between $875 million and $1.5 billion; and 0.155% of the Trust’s net assets over $1.5 billion. For its services, the Administrator/Business Manager is entitled to receive a fee which is payable monthly and computed as of the close of business each day at the annual rate of 0.22% of the Trust’s net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

MARCH 31, 2019

Under a Compliance Agreement with the Administrator/Business Manager, the Administrator/Business Manager is additionally compensated by the Trust for Chief Compliance Officer related services provided to enable the Trust to comply with Rule 38a-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

Specific details as to the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser and the Administrator/Business Manager are more fully defined in the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

b)

Distribution and Service Fees:

The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Rule”) under the 1940 Act. Under one part of the Plan, with respect to Class A Shares, the Trust is authorized to make distribution fee payments to broker-dealers or others (“Qualified Recipients”) selected by Aquila Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”), including, but not limited to, any principal underwriter of the Trust, with which the Distributor has entered into written agreements contemplated by the Rule and which have rendered assistance in the distribution and/or retention of the Trust’s shares or servicing of shareholder accounts. The Trust makes payment of this distribution fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the Trust’s average net assets represented by Class A Shares. For the year ended March 31, 2019, distribution fees on Class A Shares amounted to $1,119,793 of which the Distributor retained $52,011.

Under another part of the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments with respect to Class C Shares to Qualified Recipients which have rendered assistance in the distribution and/or retention of the Trust’s Class C shares or servicing of shareholder accounts. These payments are made at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Trust’s average net assets represented by Class C Shares and for the  year ended March 31, 2019, amounted to $254,297. In addition, under a Shareholder Services Plan, the Trust is authorized to make service fee payments with respect to Class C Shares to Qualified Recipients for providing personal services and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. These payments are made at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Trust’s average net assets represented by Class C Shares and for the year ended March 31, 2019, amounted to $84,766. The total of these payments made with respect to Class C Shares amounted to $339,063 of which the Distributor retained $80,093.

Specific details about the Plans are more fully defined in the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Under a Distribution Agreement, the Distributor serves as the exclusive distributor of the Trust’s shares. Through agreements between the Distributor and various brokerage and advisory firms (“financial intermediaries”), the Trust’s shares are sold primarily through the facilities of these financial intermediaries having offices within Hawaii, with the bulk of any sales commissions inuring to such financial intermediaries. For the year ended March 31, 2019, total commissions on sales of Class A Shares amounted to $130,641, of which the Distributor received $18,441.

c)

Transfer and shareholder servicing fees:

The Trust occasionally compensates financial intermediaries in connection with the sub-transfer agency related services provided by such entities in connection with their respective Fund shareholders so long as the fees are deemed by the Board of Trustees to be reasonable in relation to (i) the value of the services and the benefits received by the Fund and certain shareholders; and (ii) the payments that the Fund would make to another entity to perform similar ongoing services to existing shareholders.

4. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended March 31, 2019, purchases of securities and proceeds from the sales of securities aggregated $66,388,782 and $114,645,642, respectively.

At March 31, 2019, the aggregate tax cost for all securities was $638,664,123.

in attendance at regularly scheduled quarterly Board Meetings and meetings of the Independent Trustees held prior to each quarterly Board Meeting, as well as additional meetings (such as Audit, Nominating, Shareholder and special meetings). Trustees are reimbursed for their expenses such as travel, accommodations and meals incurred in connection with attendance at Board Meetings and the Annual and Outreach Meetings of Shareholders. For the year ended March 31, 2019, such meeting-related expenses amounted to $67,388.

8.  Securities Traded on a When-Issued Basis

The Trust may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis. When-issued transactions arise when securities are purchased or sold by the Trust with payment and delivery taking place in the future in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield to the Trust at the time of entering into the transaction. Beginning on the date the Trust enters into a when-issued transaction, cash or other liquid securities are segregated in an amount equal to or greater than the value of the when-issued transaction. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

9.  Income Tax Information and Distributions

The Trust declares dividends daily from net investment income and makes payments monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually and are taxable. These distributions are paid in additional shares at the net asset value per share or in cash at the shareholder’s option. The Trust intends to maintain, to the maximum extent possible, the tax-exempt status of interest payments received from portfolio municipal securities in order to allow dividends paid to shareholders from net investment income to be exempt from regular Federal and State of Hawaii income taxes. Due to differences between financial statement reporting and Federal income tax reporting requirements, distributions made by the Trust may not be the same as the Trust’s net investment income, and/or net realized securities gains. Further, a portion of the dividends and distributions may, under some circumstances, be subject to taxes at ordinary income and/or capital gain rates. For certain shareholders, some dividend income may, under some circumstances, be subject to the alternative minimum tax. As a result of the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Act of 2010 (the “Act”), losses incurred in this fiscal year and beyond retain their character as short-term or long-term, have no expiration date and are utilized before capital losses incurred prior to the enactment of the Act. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Trust utilized $62,542 of capital loss carry forward.

MARCH 31, 2019

The tax character of distributions was as follows:

	Year Ended March 31, 2019		Year Ended March 31, 2018
Net tax-exempt income	$	13,430,185	$	14,385,149
Ordinary Income		53,327		46,141
	$	13,483,512	$	14,431,290

As of March 31, 2019, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were:

Unrealized appreciation	$	19,074,305
Undistributed tax-exempt income		258,416
Other temporary differences		(258,145)
Undistributed net realized gains		163,165
	$	19,237,741

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed  income is due to the timing difference, and other temporary differences, in recognizing dividends paid and the tax treatment of market discount amortization and the deduction of distributions payable.

10. Credit Facility

The Bank of New York Mellon and the Aquila Group of Funds have been parties to a $40 million credit agreement, which currently terminates on August 28, 2019 (per the August 29, 2018 amendment). In accordance with the Aquila Group of Funds Guidelines for Allocation of Committed Line of Credit (the Aquila Group of Funds is comprised of nine funds), each fund is responsible for payment of its proportionate share of

a)

a 0.17% per annum commitment fee; and,

b)

interest on amounts borrowed for temporary or emergency purposes by the Fund (at the applicable rate selected by the Aquila Group of Funds at the time of the borrowing of either (i) the one-month Eurodollar Rate or (ii) a rate equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day, or (c) the Overnight Eurodollar Rate in effect on such day).

There were no borrowings under the credit agreement for the year ended March 31, 2019.

As a Trust shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front-end sales charges with respect to Class A shares or contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) with respect to Class C shares; and (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution “12b-1” and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses.  The table below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Trust and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.  The table below assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses.  You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.  To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period”.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Funds

Under the heading, “Hypothetical” in the table, information is provided about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Trust’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Trust’s actual return.  This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period, but it can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other funds.  To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs and do not reflect any transactional costs.  Therefore, information under the heading “Hypothetical” is useful comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds.  In addition, if transactional costs were included, your total costs would have been higher.

(2)

Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the six-month period as indicated above - in the far right column - multiplied by the simple average account value over the period indicated, and then multiplied by 182/365 to reflect the one-half year period.
