What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Large Capitalization Value Fund, Class A | $245 | 2.28% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
The Fund’s top contributor during the fiscal year was CACI International. This government IT services leader beat consensus expectations for margins and revenue. Throughout the year, they also announced meaningful new IT wins with key government entities. Clean Harbors Inc. was the Fund’s 2nd top performing stock during this period. This hazardous waste collection and disposal company has benefitted from pricing actions and increased volume. The company has consistently beat and raised expectations in their Environmental Solutions segment which has led to a re-rating. Favorable tailwinds in environmental regulation around PFAS has also propelled the stock. Clean Harbors and CACI are both top positions currently. The Fund’s main detractors were Lamb Weston, and Dollar General. Lamb Weston underperformed due to a large earnings and revenue cut. They experienced issues with their ERP transition which led to volumes meaningfully missing estimates. They also issued guidance for their 2025 fiscal year that raised caution around overcapacity and pricing. As a result, the stock de-rated significantly. We exited Lamb Weston after the 2025 fiscal year guide. Dollar General underperformed due to concerns around the lower end consumer. This led to sales and earnings missing estimates. Concerns around ceding market share to Walmart and Amazon has also led to a multiple de-rating. We still own Dollar General, but we are evaluating the merits of the original investment thesis and whether it should remain a long-term holding. |
How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?
The chart below represents the historical performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment over the past 10 years in the class of shares noted and assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the maximum sales charge, if any. Fund expenses, including management fees, 12b-1 fees, if any, and other expenses were deducted.

Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Large Capitalization Growth Fund, Class A | $249 | 2.11% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
Despite rising equity prices during the period, the Fund remained focused on stock selection, which amounted for the entirety of the Fund's excess return. This stock selection impact was most apparent in the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Smaller sectors such as Energy, Utilities, Materials, and Real Estate had little impact due to limited stock selection opportunities. AppLovin Corp. (+121.4%) was the top Fund holding. We view AppLovin as a high-growth mobile app platform that excels in monetization, marketing, and analytics. We see potential double-digit growth in the company's software revenue, driven primarily by its gaming division, through 2026. Due to threshold limits set by mutual fund diversification rules that this Fund is privy to, the Fund held a significant underweight position in Mega-Cap Technology, Communication Services, and Consumer Discretionary stocks relative to common growth indexes, which was a headwind to relative performance. For example, key stocks such as Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Amazon made up 43.4% of the Russell 1000 Growth Index, while the Fund allocated 32.7% on average to these names. These stocks outpaced the index and returned 48.5%, and the Fund's underweight position created a 1.4% performance drag. From a risk perspective, the Fund's active weight constraints helped reduce exposure to market volatility and sentiment shifts during the period. |

What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Large Capitalization Growth Fund, Class C | $314 | 2.67% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
Despite rising equity prices during the period, the Fund remained focused on stock selection, which amounted for the entirety of the Fund's excess return. This stock selection impact was most apparent in the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Smaller sectors such as Energy, Utilities, Materials, and Real Estate had little impact due to limited stock selection opportunities. AppLovin Corp. (+121.4%) was the top Fund holding. We view AppLovin as a high-growth mobile app platform that excels in monetization, marketing, and analytics. We see potential double-digit growth in the company's software revenue, driven primarily by its gaming division, through 2026. Due to threshold limits set by mutual fund diversification rules that this Fund is privy to, the Fund held a significant underweight position in Mega-Cap Technology, Communication Services, and Consumer Discretionary stocks relative to common growth indexes, which was a headwind to relative performance. For example, key stocks such as Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Amazon made up 43.4% of the Russell 1000 Growth Index, while the Fund allocated 32.7% on average to these names. These stocks outpaced the index and returned 48.5%, and the Fund's underweight position created a 1.4% performance drag. From a risk perspective, the Fund's active weight constraints helped reduce exposure to market volatility and sentiment shifts during the period. |
How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?
The chart below represents the historical performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment over the past 10 years in the class of shares noted and assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the maximum sales charge, if any.

What affected the Fund’s performance this period? |
During the period, stock selection in Utilities was the largest contributor to positive relative performance, with Vistra Corp as the top name. Industrials stock selection delivered outperformance with Vertiv Holdings Co. the strongest performer. Stock selection within Consumer Discretionary contributed to performance with Royal Caribbean Group as the top performer. Within Health Care, stock selection delivered outperformance with Cencora, Inc the leading name. Stock selection within Information Technology contributed, led by Monolithic Power Systems. Stock selection within Energy, with top name Diamondback Energy, Inc., contributed to outperformance. Outperformance within Financials came from both an overweight to the sector, and security selection, with Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated leading. The portfolio was underweight Communication Services and Consumer Staples, which underperformed the benchmark, benefitting performance. The greatest detractor to performance was an overweight in Materials which underperformed the benchmark, while an underweight in Real Estate, an outperforming sector, detracted from performance as well. |

Saratoga Mid Capitalization Fund, Class I | $182 | 1.63% |
What affected the Fund’s performance this period? |
During the period, stock selection in Utilities was the largest contributor to positive relative performance, with Vistra Corp as the top name. Industrials stock selection delivered outperformance with Vertiv Holdings Co. the strongest performer. Stock selection within Consumer Discretionary contributed to performance with Royal Caribbean Group as the top performer. Within Health Care, stock selection delivered outperformance with Cencora, Inc the leading name. Stock selection within Information Technology contributed, led by Monolithic Power Systems. Stock selection within Energy, with top name Diamondback Energy, Inc., contributed to outperformance. Outperformance within Financials came from both an overweight to the sector, and security selection, with Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated leading. The portfolio was underweight Communication Services and Consumer Staples, which underperformed the benchmark, benefitting performance. The greatest detractor to performance was an overweight in Materials which underperformed the benchmark, while an underweight in Real Estate, an outperforming sector, detracted from performance as well. |

Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Small Capitalization Fund, Class A | $251 | 2.28% |
What affected the Fund’s performance this period? |
During the period, portfolio management was keenly focused on the impacts of balance sheet health and interest rates on smaller companies. The stress of the higher cost of capital on the sector led the portfolio to overweight sectors sometimes viewed as more defensive and value-based: Materials, Industrials, and Consumer Staples. These localized producers, distributors, and consumer staples companies have realized an uptick in demand over the past several years. As supply chain disruptions have occurred - Covid-19, the Evergreen running aground in the Suez Canal, the tragic Baltimore bridge collapse – some national and multinational distributors and manufacturers have faced issues importing and exporting their goods. The overweight in these defensive sectors helped performance during the period. Towards the end of the period, the portfolio trimmed its Consumer Staples holdings and added to Consumer Discretionary in light of positive economic data, including sustained consumer spending and falling inflation, benefitting performance. The portfolio held underweights in Financials, Energy, and Real Estate. Smaller banks have been under more pressure from higher interest rates than larger national and global banks. Smaller banks are generally paying higher interest premiums, which has dented their bottom line; the portfolio’s underweight to these companies benefitted performance. The underweight to Energy and Real Estate were a detractor from performance. |

What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga International Equity Fund, Class A | $298 | 2.80% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
In the Fund, Emerging Asia accounted for the bulk of underperformance. The largest negative impact was due to China based holdings, although the underweight to the country mitigated some of the drag. Conversely, the underweight to India was a detriment. Developed Europe was the top contributing region, led by holdings in the UK, Denmark, and Switzerland. Developed Americas (Canada) was the second largest contributor despite its small weight. From a sector view, the Information Technology sector was the main detractor largely due to stocks not held (e.g. SAP, ASML) while Consumer Staples was the largest detractor in terms of stock selection. Haidilao International (-34%), a Chinese operator of hot pot restaurants, and ORION Corp (-24%), a South Korean confectionary manufacturer, were the primary underperformers. Industrial holdings were the largest outperformers, led by Japanese machinery maker Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (+136%). The Materials sector was the second largest contributor to excess return, thanks to Canadian gold miner Kinross Gold (+89%). |

You can find additional information about the Fund at www.saratogacap.com/fund-reports or by contacting us at 1-888-672-4839. |

Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Health & Biotechnology Fund, Class A | $298 | 2.72% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
From a sub-industry perspective, strength in the Fund's performance came from facilities and distributors while managed healthcare and life sciences tools & services lagged on a relative basis. Facilities companies benefitted as continued improvement in utilization rates drove revenues higher and moderating labor costs aided margins. Tenet Healthcare, a leading provider of healthcare services, led in this sub-industry as increased cash flows and strong execution combined with the positive aforementioned trends drove shares higher. Within distributors, consistent drug volumes, growth in specialty pharmaceuticals such as GLP-1's (weight-loss drugs) and improved generics pricing were all tailwinds for the segment. McKesson, one of the largest specialty drug distributors outperformed as a result. Managed healthcare stocks in the Fund lagged due to concerns surrounding Medicare Advantage utilization and reimbursement rates. Progyny, a benefits management company, was a detractor as it remains unclear in the near-term as to when visibility regarding utilization rates might improve. Tools & equipment companies trailed in the period as they continue to work down excess inventories that have weighed on the group in recent quarters causing Illumina, a leading provider of tools for genetic analysis, to underperform within the Fund. |

What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Health & Biotechnology Fund, Class C | $362 | 3.32% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
From a sub-industry perspective, strength in the Fund's performance came from facilities and distributors while managed healthcare and life sciences tools & services lagged on a relative basis. Facilities companies benefitted as continued improvement in utilization rates drove revenues higher and moderating labor costs aided margins. Tenet Healthcare, a leading provider of healthcare services, led in this sub-industry as increased cash flows and strong execution combined with the positive aforementioned trends drove shares higher. Within distributors, consistent drug volumes, growth in specialty pharmaceuticals such as GLP-1's (weight-loss drugs) and improved generics pricing were all tailwinds for the segment. McKesson, one of the largest specialty drug distributors outperformed as a result. Managed healthcare stocks in the Fund lagged due to concerns surrounding Medicare Advantage utilization and reimbursement rates. Progyny, a benefits management company, was a detractor as it remains unclear in the near-term as to when visibility regarding utilization rates might improve. Tools & equipment companies trailed in the period as they continue to work down excess inventories that have weighed on the group in recent quarters causing Illumina, a leading provider of tools for genetic analysis, to underperform within the Fund. |

Saratoga Technology & Communications Fund, Class A | $289 | 2.62% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
The largest contributors to performance during the period were Meta Platforms and Nvidia. Meta benefitted from strong revenue growth driven by solid global advertising demand and improved capital allocation which allowed margins to expand. Nvidia outperformed as AI-driven chip demand has remained ahead of investors’ expectations, elevating growth in both revenues and earnings. From a sub-industry perspective, the semiconductor and semiconductor capital equipment subsectors have been the biggest beneficiaries of AI spending as have those software companies that have been able to implement AI-features into new products. The biggest detractor during the period was Intel, which was sold from the Fund, as persistent company-specific headwinds now look to be longer-term in nature. Cisco Systems, a provider of networking systems and services, also underperformed as capital equipment spending by enterprise customers decelerated as concerns of slowing economic growth rose with the Federal Reserve’s persistently tight policy. |

What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Technology & Communications Fund, Class I | $246 | 2.22% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
The largest contributors to performance during the period were Meta Platforms and Nvidia. Meta benefitted from strong revenue growth driven by solid global advertising demand and improved capital allocation which allowed margins to expand. Nvidia outperformed as AI-driven chip demand has remained ahead of investors’ expectations, elevating growth in both revenues and earnings. From a sub-industry perspective, the semiconductor and semiconductor capital equipment subsectors have been the biggest beneficiaries of AI spending as have those software companies that have been able to implement AI-features into new products. The biggest detractor during the period was Intel, which was sold from the Fund, as persistent company-specific headwinds now look to be longer-term in nature. Cisco Systems, a provider of networking systems and services, also underperformed as capital equipment spending by enterprise customers decelerated as concerns of slowing economic growth rose with the Federal Reserve’s persistently tight policy. |

Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Energy & Basic Materials Fund, Class A | $344 | 3.40% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
The Fund’s Energy holdings (59% of Fund weight on average) returned 8.8% for the period. Integrated Oil and Gas holdings were the biggest detractors, while Exploration and Production holdings were the largest contributors. However, the overweight to the Exploration and Production subindustry and underweight to Integrated Oil and Gas detracted from excess return. Diamondback Energy (+36%) was the top contributor among sector holdings while PBF Energy (-26%) was the largest underperformer. The Fund’s Basic Materials holdings (39% of Fund weight on average) returned 2.5% for the period. Holdings in the Steel subindustry were the worst detractors, led by POSCO Holdings (-42%), which was a top performer in the portfolio last year. The lead contributor was Diversified Chemicals, however, the negative allocation effect from being overweight this subindustry more than offset the positive stock selection effect. The underweight to Copper also hurt relative performance. Canada-based gold miner Kinross Gold (+52%), was the top individual contributor over the period. |

Annual Shareholder Report | 8/31/2024 | SFPAX | Class A | |
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Saratoga Financial Services Fund for the period 9/1/2023 through 8/31/2024, as well as certain changes to the Fund, if applicable. You can find additional information about the Fund at www.saratogacap.com/fund-reports or by contacting us at 1-888-672-4839. |
What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Financial Services Fund, Class A | $391 | 3.40% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
Top performers in the Fund were Property & Casualty Insurance company Progressive Corporation (+90.3%) and Consumer Finance company American Express (+66.2%). Progressive underwrites auto, property and specialty lines of insurance; with almost 20 million personal auto policies in force, it is one of the largest auto insurers in the US. Progressive is benefiting from a stronger pricing environment that is boosting underwriting results and higher interest rates producing stronger investment income. The Fund’s underweight to Transaction & Payment Processing Services firms Visa (+13.4%) and Mastercard (+17.8%) was additive to relative performance as both companies underperformed financial services peers for the period. Transaction & Payment Processors experienced slowing volume growth in mid-2024 which weighed on earnings and share prices. Key detractors to performance were the Transaction & Payment Processing firm WEX, Inc. (-4.2%, for the period held) and Property & Casualty Insurance company W.R. Berkley (-1.1%, for the period held). WEX provides payment processing services to the commercial and government vehicle fleets around the globe and came under pressure during the year due to softness in its online travel agent client base. The Fund’s underweight to Diversified Bank JP Morgan detracted from performance. The Fund generally held smaller companies than the financial services holdings in the S&P 500 Index. Owning smaller companies was a headwind to relative performance while the Fund’s tilt toward lower price-earnings and price-book ratio stocks was modestly additive to relative performance. |

Annual Shareholder Report | 8/31/2024 | SQBAX | Class A | |
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Saratoga Investment Quality Bond Fund for the period 9/1/2023 through 8/31/2024, as well as certain changes to the Fund, if applicable. You can find additional information about the Fund at www.saratogacap.com/fund-reports or by contacting us at 1-888-672-4839. |
What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Investment Quality Bond Fund, Class A | $180 | 1.76% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
The Fund held a core investment position in passive index funds with varying duration targets; this strategy benefitted performance during the period as the Fund's main holding, the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond Index passive strategy, outperformed its peergroup and the bond market at large. Likewise, the Fund's overweight to Intermediate-Term Bonds over Long-Term, Short-Term, and Ultra Short-Term Bond strategies benefited performance. A smaller, but not insubstantial, allocation to Short-Term Bonds was the cause of relative underperformance, as the Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index strategy underperformed its Intermediate-Term strategy and its peergroup. Within the satellite strategy of the Fund, the Fund chose not to hold the High Yield, Interest-Rate Hedged, or Inflation-Protected strategies it can deploy as a small part of its portfolio. Broadly, this was a benefit to performance, as these strategies largely underperformed their more traditional counterparts during the period. |
How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Investment Quality Bond Fund, Class C | $237 | 2.32% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
The Fund held a core investment position in passive index funds with varying duration targets; this strategy benefitted performance during the period as the Fund's main holding, the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond Index passive strategy, outperformed its peergroup and the bond market at large. Likewise, the Fund's overweight to Intermediate-Term Bonds over Long-Term, Short-Term, and Ultra Short-Term Bond strategies benefited performance. A smaller, but not insubstantial, allocation to Short-Term Bonds was the cause of relative underperformance, as the Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index strategy underperformed its Intermediate-Term strategy and its peergroup. Within the satellite strategy of the Fund, the Fund chose not to hold the High Yield, Interest-Rate Hedged, or Inflation-Protected strategies it can deploy as a small part of its portfolio. Broadly, this was a benefit to performance, as these strategies largely underperformed their more traditional counterparts during the period. |
How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

Saratoga Aggressive Balanced Allocation Fund | |
Annual Shareholder Report | 8/31/2024 | SABAX | Class A | |
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Saratoga Aggressive Balanced Allocation Fund for the period 9/1/2023 through 8/31/2024, as well as certain changes to the Fund, if applicable. You can find additional information about the Fund at www.saratogacap.com/fund-reports or by contacting us at 1-888-672-4839. |
What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Aggressive Balanced Allocation Fund, Class A | $134 | 1.24% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
During the period the Fund benefitted from a significant overweight to Large Cap Growth versus Mid Cap and Small Cap holdings, and by using the Saratoga Large Cap Growth Fund’s active strategy over its passive alternative. The Fund’s use of an active strategy for its Large Cap Value exposure was a drag on performance, as it underperformed its passive alternative. The Fund also benefitted from its overweight to Mid Cap versus Small Cap holdings and use of active Saratoga strategies in the Mid Cap and Small Cap sectors benefited performance. An underweight to International Equity, and use of the Vanguard passive strategy in that asset class, was a benefit to performance. Within the sector equity asset classes, an overweight to Technology and Health versus Financials and Energy was neutral, as Financials were the best performing sector the Fund allocates to, while Energy was the worst. The Fund generally applies its allocation strategy for its bond exposure by allocating to passive index bond funds with varying duration targets; Fund performance benefitted during the period by overweighting the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond Index strategy over its Long-Term, Short-Term, and Ultra-Short-Term alternatives. A smaller allocation to the Short-Term Bond strategy was a drag on performance. Generally, the Fund’s slight underweight to equities versus the benchmark resulted in negative relative performance during the period, as every equity asset class the Fund allocates to outperformed their bond and money market counterparts, save Energy. Likewise, an overweight to Alternatives and Cash equivalents versus the benchmark detracted from relative performance. |
How has the Fund performed since its inception?
The chart below represents the historical performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment since inception in the class of shares noted and assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the maximum sales charge, if any. Fund expenses, including management fees, 12b-1 fees, if any, and other expenses were deducted.

Annual Shareholder Report | 8/31/2024 | SCAAX | Class A | |

What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Conservative Balanced Allocation Fund, Class A | $131 | 1.24% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
During the period the Fund benefitted from a significant overweight to Large Cap Growth versus Mid Cap and Small Cap holdings, and by using the Saratoga Large Cap Growth Fund’s active strategy over its passive alternative. The Fund’s use of an active strategy for its Large Cap Value exposure was a drag on performance, as it underperformed its passive alternative. The Fund also benefitted from its overweight to Mid Cap versus Small Cap holdings and use of active Saratoga strategies in the Mid Cap and Small Cap sectors benefited performance. An underweight to International Equity, and use of the Vanguard passive strategy in that asset class, was a benefit to performance. The Fund generally applies its allocation strategy for its bond exposure by allocating to passive index bond funds with varying duration targets; Fund performance benefitted during the period by overweighting the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond Index strategy over its Long-Term, Short-Term, and Ultra-Short-Term alternatives. A smaller allocation to the Short-Term Bond strategy was a drag on performance. Generally, the Fund’s slight underweight to equities versus the benchmark resulted in negative relative performance during the period, as every equity asset class the Fund allocates to outperformed their bond and money market counterparts, save Energy. Likewise, an overweight to Alternatives and Cash equivalents versus the benchmark detracted from relative performance. |
How has the Fund performed since its inception?
The chart below represents the historical performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment since inception in the class of shares noted and assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the maximum sales charge, if any. Fund expenses, including management fees, 12b-1 fees, if any, and other expenses were deducted.

What were the Fund’s costs for the last year (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)? |
Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Moderate Balanced Allocation Fund, Class I | $106 | 0.99% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
During the period the Fund benefitted from a significant overweight to Large Cap Growth versus Mid Cap and Small Cap holdings, and by using the Saratoga Large Cap Growth Fund’s active strategy over its passive alternative. The Fund’s use of an active strategy for its Large Cap Value exposure was a drag on performance, as it underperformed its passive alternative. The Fund also benefitted from its overweight to Mid Cap versus Small Cap holdings and use of active Saratoga strategies in the Mid Cap and Small Cap sectors benefited performance. An underweight to International Equity, and use of the Vanguard passive strategy in that asset class, was a benefit to performance. Within the sector equity asset classes, an overweight to Technology and Health versus Financials and Energy was neutral, as Financials were the best performing sector the Fund allocates to, while Energy was the worst. The Fund generally applies its allocation strategy for its bond exposure by allocating to passive index bond funds with varying duration targets; Fund performance benefitted during the period by overweighting the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond Index strategy over its Long-Term, Short-Term, and Ultra-Short-Term alternatives. A smaller allocation to the Short-Term Bond strategy was a drag on performance. An overweight to Alternatives and Cash equivalents versus the benchmark detracted from relative performance. |

Fund | Costs of a $10,000 Investment | Costs paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment |
Saratoga Moderately Conservative Balanced Allocation Fund, Class A | $133 | 1.24% |
What affected the Fund’s performance during this period? |
During the period the Fund benefitted from a significant overweight to Large Cap Growth versus Mid Cap and Small Cap holdings, and by using the Saratoga Large Cap Growth Fund’s active strategy over its passive alternative. The Fund’s use of an active strategy for its Large Cap Value exposure was a drag on performance, as it underperformed its passive alternative. The Fund also benefitted from its overweight to Mid Cap versus Small Cap holdings and use of active Saratoga strategies in the Mid Cap and Small Cap sectors benefited performance. An underweight to International Equity, and use of the Vanguard passive strategy in that asset class, was a benefit to performance. The Fund generally applies its allocation strategy for its bond exposure by allocating to passive index bond funds with varying duration targets; Fund performance benefitted during the period by overweighting the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond Index strategy over its Long-Term, Short-Term, and Ultra-Short-Term alternatives. A smaller allocation to the Short-Term Bond strategy was a drag on performance. Generally, the Fund’s slight underweight to equities versus the benchmark resulted in negative relative performance during the period, as every equity asset class the Fund allocates to outperformed their bond and money market counterparts, save Energy. Likewise, an overweight to Alternatives and Cash equivalents versus the benchmark detracted from relative performance. |
How has the Fund performed since its inception?

Currently, all Portfolios offer Class A, Class C and Class I shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the applicable Portfolio, and the classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios 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. Each Portfolio 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” including FASB Accounting Standard Update ASU 2013-08.
(a) Valuation of Investments
Investment securities listed on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price on the valuation date. NASDAQ traded securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (NOCP). If there are no such reported sales, the securities are valued at the mean between current bid and ask. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and trader-reviewed “matrix” prices. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost or amortized value, which approximates market value. U.S. Government Money Market values all of its securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. Options listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the last bid and ask price. Options not listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices. Futures are valued based on their daily settlement value. Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or at fair value based on daily price reporting from the swap counterparty issuing the swap. Total return swaps on securities listed on an exchange shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices. Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. There is no single standard for determining the fair value of such securities. Rather, in determining the fair value of a security, the board appointed Saratoga Capital Management, LLC as the valuation designee. The Valuation designee shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, a few of which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of a security. The International Equity Portfolio uses fair value prices as provided by an independent pricing vendor on a daily basis for those securities traded on a foreign exchange. Foreign currency and Forward currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the London close each day. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the portfolios to meet their obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific state, industry or region. Investments in foreign countries may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with domestic investments, including, but not limited to, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.
Valuation of Fund of Funds - The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds 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 upon the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by a Fund will not change.

The Portfolios utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Portfolios have 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.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Portfolios’ 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 August 31, 2024, for the Portfolios’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

(b) Federal Income Tax
It is each Portfolio’s policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Capital loss carry forwards, as of each Portfolio’s most recent tax year-ended August 31, 2024, available to offset future capital gains, and utilized capital gains, if any, are as follows:

The Portfolios recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions taken on its 2021-2023 returns and expected to be taken in the Portfolios’ 2024 returns and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. The Portfolios identify its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, Arizona and foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolios make significant investments. The Portfolios recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the Portfolios did not incur any interest or penalties.
(c) Security Transactions and Other Income
Security transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis including premium amortized and discount accreted. All paydown gains and losses are classified as interest income in the accompanying Statements of Operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized, over the lives of the respective securities with a corresponding increase/decrease in the cost basis of that security using the yield to maturity method, or where applicable, the first call date of the security. 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
(d) Dividends and Distributions
The following table summarizes each Portfolio’s intended dividend and capital gain declaration policy:

Each Portfolio records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book-tax” differences are either permanent or temporary in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the net asset accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in-surplus or tax return of capital. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results from operations or net asset value per share of each Portfolio.
(e) Allocation of Expenses
Expenses specifically attributable to a particular Portfolio are borne by that Portfolio. Other expenses are allocated to each Portfolio based on its net assets in relation to the total net assets of all the applicable Portfolios of the Trust or another reasonable basis. Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than the class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionally each day between the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
(f) Repurchase Agreements
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Trust may be delayed or limited.
(g) 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 Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.
(h) Other
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Trust 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 from investments.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Year Ended August 31, 2024 |
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Market Risk. The value of the Portfolio’s securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. The Portfolio is subject to investment and operational risks associated with social, financial, economic and other global market developments (such as recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, war, natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts and social unrest) and disruptions, which can negatively impact issuers, industries, governments and other systems, including the securities markets and cause the Portfolio to lose value. As global systems, economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, events that once had only local impact are now more likely to have regional or even global effects and may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. These events may have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance of the Portfolio’s investments, increase the Portfolio’s volatility and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Portfolio. The Portfolio’s common shares at any point in time may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account any reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Under an agreement with the BNY Mellon Corp. (“BNY Mellon”), the Portfolios can lend their portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board of Trustees to earn additional income. Loans are collateralized by cash, in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest, which is invested in highly liquid, short-term instruments such as repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities and money market funds in accordance with the Portfolios’ security lending procedures. A portion of the income generated by the investment in the collateral, net of any rebates paid by BNY Mellon to the borrowers, is remitted to BNY Mellon as lending agent, and the remainder is paid to the Portfolios. The Portfolios continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Portfolios have the right under the Master Securities Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand; if the borrower fails to deliver the securities on a timely basis, the Portfolios could experience delays or losses on recovery. Additionally, the Portfolios are subject to the risk of loss from investments made with the cash received as collateral. The Portfolios manage credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral agreements with third party borrowers that provide in the event of default (such as bankruptcy or a borrower’s failure to pay or perform), the right to net a third party borrower’s rights and obligations under such agreement and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty.
At August 31, 2024, the following portfolio loaned securities and received U.S. Government securities and cash collateral for the loan. This cash was invested in repurchase agreements as shown in the Schedule of Investments. The aggregate market value of the collateral shown below includes non-cash U.S Treasury securities and is calculated based on prior day’s prices.

(c) The Portfolios have adopted a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plan”) with respect to the sale and distribution of Class A and C shares of the Portfolios. The Plan provides that each Portfolio will pay the Distributor or other entities, including the Manager, a fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares (0.25% of the average daily net assets of Aggressive Balanced Allocation, Conservative Balanced Allocation, Moderate Balanced Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Balanced Allocation and Moderately Conservative Balanced Allocation Class A shares) and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolios’ Class C shares. A portion of the fee payable pursuant to the Plan, equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets, is currently characterized as a service fee and it may be paid directly to the Manager, or other entities for providing support services. A service fee is a payment made for personal service and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The aggregate of such service fee payments will not exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets.
Class A shares are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales load of 5.75%. Class C shares are offered subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. Class I shares are offered at net asset value.

(b) Certain Portfolios may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts. Because various Portfolios may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, they may seek to hedge foreign currency risks by engaging in foreign currency exchange transactions. These may include buying or selling foreign currencies on a spot basis, entering into foreign currency forward contracts, and buying and selling foreign currency options, foreign currency futures, and options on foreign currency futures. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods and can be subject to unpredictable change based on such factors as political developments and currency controls by foreign governments.
(c) Other Investment Companies or Exchange Traded Funds – Certain Portfolios may invest up to 100% of their net assets in shares of affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including money market mutual funds, other mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). An ETF generally is an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or a portfolio of securities deposited with a depository in exchange for depository receipts. ETFs provide investors the opportunity to buy or sell throughout the day an entire portfolio of securities in a single security. Although index mutual funds are similar to index-based ETFs, they are generally sold and redeemed only once per day at market close. The ETFs in which a Portfolio invests may be subject to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the sale of the security at an advantageous time or price. To the extent that the ETFs in which a Portfolio invests hold securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations or securities with substantial market risk, they will have a greater exposure to liquidity risk. In addition, ETFs are subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds that can be found in “Exchange-Traded Funds” below: (1) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to their net asset value; (2) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally. Additionally, ETFs have management fees, which increase their cost. In addition to the advisory and operational fees a Portfolio bears directly in connection with its own operation, the Portfolio also bears its pro rata portion of the advisory and operational expenses incurred indirectly through investments in other investment companies.
The derivative instruments outstanding, as of August 31, 2024, as disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the amounts of realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Fund. The derivatives are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, the Funds utilized tax equalization which is the use of earnings and profits distributions to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax basis treatment of distributions in excess, net operating losses and short-term capital gains, tax adjustments for prior year tax returns, reclassification of Fund distributions, adjustments for nondeductible payments and foreign tax credit pass-through, and the use of tax equalization credits, resulted in reclassification for the tax year ended August 31, 2024, as follows:

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from security transactions are primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, adjustments for real estate investment trusts, mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies, and C-Corporations adjustments. The unrealized appreciation in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency gain/(loss) of $186 for the International Equity Portfolio.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
of Saratoga Advantage Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Large Capitalization Value Portfolio, Large Capitalization Growth Portfolio, Mid Capitalization Portfolio, Small Capitalization Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, Health and Biotechnology Portfolio, Technology and Communications Portfolio, Energy and Basic Materials Portfolio, Financial Services Portfolio, Investment Quality Bond Portfolio, Municipal Bond Portfolio, U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio, Aggressive Balanced Allocation Portfolio, Conservative Balanced Allocation Portfolio, Moderate Balanced Allocation Portfolio, Moderately Aggressive Balanced Allocation Portfolio, Moderately Conservative Balanced Allocation Portfolio, (referred to as the “Funds”) each a series of the Saratoga Advantage Trust, including the schedules of investments, as of August 31, 2024, the related statements of operations, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the 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 Funds as of August 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their 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 Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ 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 Funds 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 of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2003.
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 Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ 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 Funds’ 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 August 31, 2024 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
