PORTFOLIO REVIEW (Unaudited)

October 31, 2019

The Fund’s performance figures* for the periods ended October 31, 2019, compared to its benchmark:

			Annualized
	Six Months	One Year	Since Inception**
Trend Aggregation Dividend and Income Fund - Institutional Class	(3.64)%	(1.28)%	(1.84)%
Morningstar Tactical Asset Allocation Category Index(a)	1.36%	6.41%	1.74%

* The performance data quoted here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemptions of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. See the financial highlights for the current expense ratios. Per the fee table in the Fund’s September 1, 2019 Prospectus, the total annual operating expense is 1.43% before fee waivers. For performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call toll-free 1-844-828-3203.

** Inception date is May 17, 2018.

(a) Morningstar Tactical Asset Allocation Category Index - Tactical Allocation portfolios seek to provide capital appreciation and income by actively shifting allocations across investments. These portfolios have material shifts across equity regions, and bond sectors on a frequent basis. To qualify for the tactical allocation category, a fund must have minimum exposures of 10% in bonds and 20% in equity. Next, the fund must historically demonstrate material shifts in sector or regional allocations either through a gradual shift over three years or through a series of material shifts on a quarterly basis. Within a three year period, typically the average quarterly changes between equity regions and bond sectors exceeds 15% or the difference between the maximum and minimum exposure to a single equity region or bond sector exceeds 50%. Investors cannot directly invest in an index and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges.

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Mutual Fund and Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 23, 2006. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of October 31, 2019, the Trust operated 13 separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objective and strategy. This report contains financial statements and financial highlights of the funds listed below (individually referred to as a “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”):

Fund	Primary Objective
Trend Aggregation Dividend and Income Fund (“Dividend & Income”)	Seek current income while maintaining a secondary emphasis on long-term capital appreciation and low volatility.
Trend Aggregation Growth Fund (“Growth”)	Seek long-term capital appreciation while maintaining a secondary emphasis on capital preservation.

The Funds are registered as non-diversified.

Currently, the Funds offer Institutional Class shares, which commenced operations on May 17, 2018. The price at which the Funds will offer or redeem shares is the net asset value (“NAV”) per share next determined after the order is considered received. Each Fund’s prospectus provides a description of each Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 –Financial Services – Investment Companies including FASB Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Investment Valuations

In computing the NAV of the Funds, fair value is based on market valuations with respect to portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available. Pursuant to trustee-approved policies, the Trust relies on certain security pricing services to provide the current market value of securities. Those security pricing services value equity securities (including foreign equity securities, exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds) traded on a securities exchange at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. Equity securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and in the case of over-the counter securities, equity securities are valued at a bid price estimated by the security pricing service. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value under Trust procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In these cases, a Pricing Committee, established and appointed by the Trustees, determines in good faith, subject to Trust procedures, the fair value of portfolio securities held by a Fund (“good faith fair valuation”). When a good faith fair valuation of a security is required, consideration is generally given to a number of factors including, but not limited to the following: dealer quotes, published analyses by dealers or analysts regarding the

12

TREND FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
October 31, 2019	SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

security, transactions which provide implicit valuation of the security (such as a merger or tender offer transaction), the value of other securities or contracts which derive their value from the security at issue, and the implications of any other circumstances which have caused trading in the security to halt. With respect to certain categories of securities, the procedures utilized by the Pricing Committee detail specific valuation methodologies to be applied in lieu of considering the aforementioned list of factors.

Fair valuation procedures are also used when a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which is when each Fund’s NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Significant events include significant securities’ market movements occurring between the time the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For securities normally priced at their last sale price in a foreign market, such events can occur between the close of trading in the foreign market and the close of trading on the NYSE.

In some cases, events affecting the issuer of a portfolio security may be considered significant events. Examples of potentially significant events include announcements concerning earnings, acquisitions, new products, management changes, litigation developments, a strike or natural disaster affecting the company’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For securities of foreign issuers, such events could also include political or other developments affecting the economy or markets in which the issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded.

There can be no assurance that a Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. In the case of good faith fair valued portfolio securities, lack of information and uncertainty as to the significance of information may lead to a conclusion that a prior valuation is the best indication of a portfolio security’s present value. Good faith fair valuations generally remain unchanged until new information becomes available. Consequently, changes in good faith fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations.

Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Open-end investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based on the methods established by the board of directors of the open-end investment companies.

The Trust calculates the NAV for each of the Funds by valuing securities held based on fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds’ investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

● Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date.

● Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

● Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

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 October 31, 2019, for each Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

* Refer to the Portfolios of Investments for industry classifications.

There were no 3 securities held during the period.

B. Security Transactions and Related Income

During the period, investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends, less foreign tax withholding (if any), are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes and capital gains on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

C. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains recorded on the ex-dividend date are determined in accordance with the federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP and are recorded on ex-date. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. tax treatment of foreign currency gain/loss, non-deductible stock issuance costs, distributions and income received from pass through investments and net investment loss adjustments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary differences are primarily due to market discounts, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales, straddles and return of capital from investments.

Certain Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.

D. Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionally among various Funds or all Funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis.

E. Federal Income Taxes

It is the policy of each Fund to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

The Funds recognize 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 Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the Funds’ April 30, 2019 period-end tax returns. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are 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. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

F. 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 Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

(3) FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

Investment Advisory Fee — Tuttle Tactical Management, LLC, (the “Advisor”) serves as the Funds’ investment adviser. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Advisor manages the investment operations of the Funds in accordance with each Fund’s respective investment policies and restrictions. The Advisor oversees the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Advisor provides the Funds with investment advice and supervision and furnishes an investment program for the Funds. For its investment management services, the Funds pay to the Advisor, as of the last day of each month, an annualized fee shown in the below table, such fees to be computed daily based upon daily average net assets of the Funds.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee (based on average daily net assets) and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of each Fund to the extent necessary in order to limit each Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (after the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, and exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends on securities sold short, and extraordinary expenses) as listed below:

Fund	Advisory Fee	Expense Limitation	Expense Cap Expiration Date
Dividend & Income - Institutional Class	1.00%	1.50%	August 31, 2020
Growth - Institutional Class	1.00%	1.50%	August 31, 2020

Amounts waived or reimbursed in the contractual period may be recouped by the Advisor within three years of the waiver and/or reimbursement. As of October 31, 2019, there were no waivers and/or reimbursement for the Funds.

The Independent Trustees are paid a quarterly retainer, and receive compensation for each committee meeting, telephonic Board meeting, and special in-person Board meeting attended. Officers receive no compensation from the Trust. The Trust reimburses each of the Independent Trustees for travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attendance at such

meetings. The Trust has no retirement or pension plans. Additional information regarding the Trust’s Trustees is available in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.

The Board has adopted the Trust’s Distribution Plan (the “12b-1 Plan”) which allows each Fund to pay fees up to 0.25% for the Institutional shares based on average daily net assets of each class to financial intermediaries (which may be paid through the Funds’ distributor) for the sale and distribution of these shares. Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan, the Funds may finance from their assets certain activities or expenses that are intended primarily to result in the sale of Fund shares and to reimburse Northern Lights Distributors, LLC. (the “Distributor” or “NLD”) and Advisor for distribution related expenses. However, the 12b-1 Plan has not been implemented.

Shareholder Servicing Fees –The Trust has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan pursuant to which the Funds may pay Shareholder Services Fees up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets to financial intermediaries for providing shareholder assistance, maintaining shareholder accounts and communicating or facilitating purchases and redemptions of shares for Institutional Class.

In addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Funds as follows:

Gemini Fund Services, LLC(“GFS”) – GFS, an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administrative, fund accounting, and transfer agency services to the Funds pursuant to agreements with the Trust, for which it receives from each Fund the greater of an annual minimum fee or an asset based fee, which scales downward based upon net assets for fund administration, fund accounting and transfer agency services and are reflected as such on the Statements of Operations. The Funds also pay GFS for any out-of-pocket expenses. Officers of the Trust are also employees of GFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Trust for serving in such capacity.

Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”) – Blu Giant, an affiliate of GFS and the Distributor, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Funds on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from the Funds, which is included in printing expense on the Statements of Operations.

On February 1, 2019, NorthStar Financial Services Group, LLC, the parent company of GFS and its affiliated companies including NLD, and Blu Giant (collectively, the “Gemini Companies”), sold its interest in the Gemini Companies to a third party private equity firm that contemporaneously acquired Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (an independent mutual fund administration firm) and its affiliates (collectively, the “Ultimus Companies”). As a result of these separate transactions, the Gemini Companies and the Ultimus Companies are now indirectly owned through a common parent entity, The Ultimus Group, LLC.

Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement between the Trust and MFund Services LLC (“MFund”), an affiliate of the Advisor, MFund provides the Funds with various management and administrative services. For these services, the Funds pay MFund an annual base fee plus an annual asset-based fee, which scales downward based upon net assets. In addition, the Funds reimburse MFund for any reasonable out- of- pocket expenses incurred in the performance of its duties under the Management Services Agreement. These fees are included in MFund Services Fees on the Statements of Operations.

Pursuant to the Compliance Services Agreement, MFund provides chief compliance officer services to the Funds. For these services, the Funds pay MFund an annual base fee plus an annual asset-based fee based upon net assets. In addition, the Funds reimburse MFund for any reasonable out- of- pocket expenses incurred in the performance of its duties under the Compliance Services Agreement. The amounts due to MFund at October 31, 2019 for management and chief compliance officer services are listed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under “Fees payable to related parties.”

An Officer of the Trust is also the controlling member of MFund, and is not paid any fees directly by the Trust for serving in such capacity.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)

Shareholder Expense Examples

Fund Expenses.As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from May 1, 2019 to October 31, 2019.

Actual Expenses.The “Actual” lines of the table provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line together with the amount you invested to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.The “Hypothetical” lines of the table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical examples 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 withdrawal charges, mortality and expense risk fees and other charges that may be assessed by participating insurance companies under the separate accounts, variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies. Therefore, the “Actual” and “Hypothetical” lines of the table are 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.

	Beginning	Annualized	Ending	Expenses
	Account	Expense Ratio	Account	Paid During
	Value 5/1/2019	For the period	Value 10/31/2019	the Period
