PORTFOLIO REVIEW (Unaudited)
August 31, 2023

The Fund’s performance figures* for the six months ended August 31, 2023, as compared to its benchmarks:

The Fund’s per share net asset value or NAV is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the Market Price Return is based on the Market Price per share of the Fund. Market price returns are calculated using the closing price and account for distributions from the Fund. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. The Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund until at least June 30, 2024 to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation which may include imdemnification of Fund Officers and Trustees, contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the Advisor)) will not exceed 1.25% of average daily net assets. The fee waiver and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund by the adviser in future years (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed), if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits or those in place at the time of recapture. This agreement may be terminated by the Trust’s Board of Trustees only on 60 days’ written notice to the Fund’s adviser. The Fund’s total annual operating expenses, before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, are 1.56% per the June 28, 2023 prospectus. After fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the Fund’s total annual expenses are 1.49% of net assets per the June 28, 2023 prospectus. The Fund’s total return would have been lower had the adviser not waived a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Please see the Financial Highlights for a more recent expense ratio.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

The Fund’s holdings by asset class as of August 31, 2023 are as follows:

The Monarch Ambassador Income ETF (“MAMB”), Monarch Blue Chips Core ETF (“MBCC”), and Monarch ProCap ETF (“MPRO”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are each diversified series of Northern Lights Fund Trust IV (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 2, 2015, which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. MAMB’s investment objective seeks to replicate investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Kingsview Ambassador Income Index. MBCC’s investment objective seeks to replicate investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Kingsview Blue Chips Core Index. MPRO’s investment objective seeks to replicate investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Kingsview ProCap Index. The investment objectives are non-fundamental. MAMB and MPRO are “fund of funds”, in that they will generally invest in other investment companies. The Funds commenced operations on March 23, 2021.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are each investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

Securities valuation – Securities listed on an exchange, including exchange – traded funds, are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined or, in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ, at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. Short- term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Each Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Board may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, which approval shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.

Fair Valuation Process – Applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid investments, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine, the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

Exchange Traded Funds – Each Fund may invest in ETFs. An ETF is a type of open-end fund, however, unlike a mutual fund, its shares are bought and sold on a securities exchange at market price and only certain financial institutions called authorized participants may buy and redeem shares of the ETF at net asset value. ETF shares can trade at either a premium or discount to net asset value. An ETF, like a mutual fund, is subject to specific risks depending on the type of strategy (actively managed or passively tracking an index) and the composition of its underlying holdings. Investing in an ETF involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the ETF’s underlying holdings. ETFs pay fees and incur operating expenses, which reduce the total return earned by the ETFs from their underlying holdings. An ETF may not achieve its investment objective or execute its investment strategy effectively, which may adversely affect a Fund’s performance.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of their 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 Funds 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 in 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 Funds’ 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 value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure 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, 2023 for the Funds’ assets measured at value:

The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period.

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities using the effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for the Funds. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually no later than December 31 of each year. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences

are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

Federal Income Taxes – The Funds comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.

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 taken on returns filed for open tax year ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2023, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ February 29, 2024 year-end tax returns. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. Each Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses, in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended August 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. 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.

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable (as determined by the Board), taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds in the Trust.

Cash – The Funds consider their investments in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Funds maintain cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high quality financial institution.

Foreign Currency – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains and losses on the purchase and sale of foreign currencies and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

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.

For the six months ended August 31, 2023, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) for the Funds were as follows:

For the six months ended August 31, 2023, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities for in-kind transactions for the Funds were as follows:

The business activities of the Funds are overseen by the Board. Kingsview Wealth Management LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the Funds’ investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser has engaged Penserra Capital Management LLC, as the sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”), to manage the assets of the Funds.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Funds and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.85% of it’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended August 31, 2023, the Adviser earned $183,345, $160,339, and $330,301 in investment advisory fees for MAMB, MBCC, and MPRO, respectively.

Pursuant to a written contract (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed, at least until June 30, 2024, to waive a portion of its advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse each Fund for other expenses to the extent necessary so that total expenses incurred (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation (which may include indemnification of Fund Officers and Trustees, contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the Advisor))) will not exceed 1.25% of average daily net assets for each Fund, herein referred to as the “Expense Limitation.”

If the Adviser waives any fee or reimburses any expenses pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and a Fund’s operating expenses are subsequently lower than its Expense Limitation, the Adviser, on a rolling three- year period, shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund provided that such reimbursement does not cause that Fund’s operating expenses to exceed the Expense Limitation in place at the time of waiver and at the time of reimbursement. If a Fund’s operating expenses subsequently exceed the Expense Limitation, the reimbursements

for the Fund shall be suspended. For the six months ended August 31, 2023, the Adviser waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the amount of $6,667, $16,385, and $0 for MAMB, MBCC and MPRO, respectively, pursuant to the Waiver Agreement.

The following amounts previously waived by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Funds by the following dates:

The Adviser may seek reimbursement only for expenses waived or paid by it during the three years prior to such reimbursement; provided, however, that such expenses may only be reimbursed to the extent they were waived or paid after the effective date of the Waiver Agreement (or any similar agreement). The Board may terminate this expense reimbursement arrangement at any time.

The Trust has entered into a Global Custody Agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the “Custodian”) to serve as custodian and to act as transfer and shareholder services agent. The Trust has also entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, (the “Distributor”) to serve as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Funds.

No distribution or service fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees were charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in the Funds.

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”) – UFS, an affiliate of the distributor, provides administration and fund accounting services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Funds pay UFS customary fees for providing administration and fund accounting services to the Funds. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Funds for serving in such capacities.

Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”) – NLCS, an affiliate of UFS and the distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives customary fees from each Fund.

Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”) – Blu Giant, an affiliate of UFS and the distributor, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Funds on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from the Funds.

Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Funds at net asset value (“NAV”) only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 25,000 shares. Only Authorized Participants or transactions done through an Authorized Participant are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from a Fund. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per share of a Fund on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient

quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. In addition, each Fund may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Fund shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund in effecting trades. A fixed fee may be imposed on each creation and redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units involved in the transaction (“Fixed Fee”). Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for cash or involving cash- in-lieu are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate the Funds and their its ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions (“Variable Charge,” and together with the Fixed Fee, the “Transaction Fees”). Transaction Fees may be used to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by a Fund.

The Transaction Fees for the Funds are listed in the table below:

For the Six Months ended August 31, 2023, the fixed and variable fees were as follows:

The tax character of fund distributions paid for the periods ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022 was as follows:

As of February 28, 2023, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

The difference between book basis and tax basis accumulated net realized losses and unrealized depreciation from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Capital losses incurred after October 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Funds incurred and elected to defer such capital losses as follows:

At February 28, 2023, the Funds had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as follows:

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to tax adjustments for realized gain (loss) on in-kind redemptions, resulted in reclassifications for the Funds for the year ended February 28, 2023 as follows:

MPRO currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (“iShares”). MPRO may redeem its investment in iShares at any time if the Adviser determines that it is in the best interest of MPRO and its shareholders to do so. MPRO’s performance will be directly affected by the performance of iShares. The financial statements of iShares, including the portfolio of investments, can be found on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website www.sec.gov and should be read in conjunction with MPRO’s financial statements. As of August 31, 2023, MPRO’s investment in iShares represented 40.5% of MPRO’s net assets.

On January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will not appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Funds.

Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that no other events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares; (2) 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 funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2023 through August 31, 2023.

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The “Hypothetical” lines in the table below 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 balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
