TABLE OF CONTENTS
Semi-Annual Shareholder Report | 1
As a Fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including commissions on trading, as applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The expense examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period ended March 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, 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 table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Further, the expenses do not include any brokerage commissions on investors’ purchases or redemptions of Fund shares as described in each Fund’s prospectus. 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.

Market value is determined by the composite closing price. Composite closing security price is defined as the last reported sale price from any primary listing market (e.g., Cboe BZX) or participating regional exchanges or markets. The composite closing price is the last reported sale price from any of the eligible sources, regardless of volume and not an average price and may have occurred on a date prior to the close of the reporting period. Market value may be greater or less than net asset value, depending on the Fund’s closing price on the listing market.

Semi-Annual Shareholder Report | 25
(1) Organization
Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on July 26, 2017 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is comprised of several funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of the Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF, Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF, Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF, and Rareview Systematic Equity ETF (the “Funds”). The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of each Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of each Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF commenced operations on January 5, 2022. Rareview Systematic Equity ETF commenced operations on January 20, 2022.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“CBOE”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, currently 25,000 Shares, called “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of each Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). 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 Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund.

Notes to Financial
Statements (continued)March 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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.
A. Investment Valuations
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to 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 used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds’ securities. When reliable market quotations are not readily available for any security, the fair value of that security will be determined by a committee established by the Board in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust has a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Funds have the ability to access.
• Level 2 - Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Shares of closed-end funds, unlike those of open-end investment companies, are not redeemable by the fund on a daily basis. A closed-end fund’s value increases or decreases due to various factors, including but not limited to general market conditions, the market’s confidence in the closed-end fund advisor’s ability to generate desired investment returns, and investor confidence in the closed-end fund’s underlying assets. A closed-end fund’s shares that are traded on an exchange may be bought or sold at a market price that is lower or higher than the per-share value of the closed-end fund’s underlying assets; when this occurs, the shares are considered to be traded at a discount or premium, respectively. Common stocks, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last traded price or official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the fund is primarily traded. Funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last traded price. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fixed income securities, including those with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at their settlement price on the exchange on which they are traded and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Exchange traded option contracts are valued at the closing price or last sale price on the primary instrument for that option as recorded by an approved pricing service and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Funds did not hold any Level 3 investments during the period ended March 31, 2022.

B. Security Transactions and Related Income
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. 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. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by a Fund is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on its current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which it invests.
C. Cash
Idle cash may be swept into various interest bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF, Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF, and Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF intend to distribute to their shareholders any net investment income, if any, at least monthly. Rareview Systematic Equity ETF intends to distribute to its shareholders any net investment income, if any, at least semi-annually. The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders any net realized cap gains, if any, at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
The Funds may own shares of ETFs that may invest in real estate investments 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 ETF.
The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.

E. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionally among all Funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis.
F. Derivative Instruments:
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Funds, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Futures Contracts:
The Funds may enter into futures contracts for the purpose of hedging existing portfolio securities or securities they intend to purchase against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest conditions. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Funds recognize an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as variation margin. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Funds and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The gross notional amount of futures contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2022, and the monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the period ended March 31, 2022 were as follows:

Options Contracts:
Purchased Options Contracts – The Funds pay a premium which is included in “Investments, at value” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. When a put option is exercised or closed, premiums paid for purchasing options are offset against proceeds to determine the realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Funds bear the risk of loss of the premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.
Written Options Contracts – The Funds receive a premium which is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. The risk associated with writing an option is that the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of an underlying asset and is required to buy or sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price different from the current value. As of March 31, 2022, the Funds hold deposits at brokers for written options collateral, which is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The gross notional amount of purchased and written options outstanding as of March 31, 2022, and the monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the period ended March 31, 2022 were as follows:

(5) Capital Share Transactions
Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Fund’s specified universe, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The standard transaction fee charge is $250.
From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind transactions are reflected as a receivable or a payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of March 31, 2022, there were no unsettled in-kind capital transactions.
(6) Investment Risks
ETF Risk
The NAV of a Fund can fluctuate up or down, and you could lose money investing in the Fund if the prices of the securities owned by the Fund decline. In addition, the Fund may be subject to the following risks: (1) the market price of the Fund’s shares may trade above or below its NAV; (2) an active trading market for a Fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of the Fund’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem

Statements (continued)March 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Market Risk
Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Funds. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Funds’ NAV, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.
An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now been detected globally. This coronavirus has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.

Consideration and Approval of Management Agreement between Collaborative Investment Series Trust and Rareview Capital, LLC with respect to the Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF, Rareview Systematic Equity ETF
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service. The Trustees noted that Rareview was founded in 2016 and was registered with the SEC as an investment adviser with approximately $145 million in assets under management as of September 30, 2021. They further noted that Rareview provided advisory services to investment companies and separately managed accounts. The Trustees reviewed the background information on the key investment personnel who would be responsible for servicing the Funds including Mr. Azous, taking into account their education and financial industry experience. They discussed the adviser’s research process and acknowledged the process allowed the adviser to rebalance the Fund tactically and strategically. They commented that the adviser would utilize a sub-adviser’s signals for the execution of Rareview Systematic Equity ETF’s strategy but maintained oversight of the sub-adviser’s investment activities, monitored the Fund’s risk characteristics, and ensured that the Fund’s strategy remained in compliance with the Fund’s prospectus. They noted that the adviser retained ultimate authority but collaborated with the sub-adviser to select broker-dealers and discussed the adviser’s multi-factor process for broker-dealer selection. The Trustees expressed its satisfaction with Rareview’s overall experience, operations, and compliance culture.
Performance. The Trustees noted that although neither Fund was operational, the adviser managed both the Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF and Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF. They further noted that both the Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF and Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF returned 22.35% and 14.49% for the since inception period, respectively. The Trustees’ acknowledged that the adviser’s existing ETFs both ranked in the top 1% in both of their Morningstar categories. They reviewed hypothetical back-tested performance data provided by the adviser on behalf of Rareview Systematic Equity ETF. The Trustees commented that the hypothetical back-tested data indicated that the Fund would have returned 18.42% on an annual basis from its inception in April 1, 2003. They acknowledged the limitations of back-tested performance data, noting that (i) in generating the data, no market risk was involved because no actual trading was done; (ii) because the data was created with the benefit of hindsight, it may be difficult to account for all factors that would have affected Rareview’s decision-making process; (iii) assumptions used to generate the data may not be indicative of current or future market conditions and (iv) due to the benefit of hindsight, back-tested performance tends to show favorable results. The Trustees acknowledged the strong performance of the adviser’s existing funds and agreed that the adviser should be given an opportunity to advise each Fund.

Fees and Expenses.
Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF. The Trustees reviewed the proposed advisory fee of 0.73% and net expense ratio of 0.87%. The Trustees noted that the proposed advisory fee was lower than the Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF and Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF’s advisory fees of 0.97% and 0.75%, respectively. The Trustees considered the peer group’s average advisory fee charged and noted that at 0.82% it was slightly higher than the Fund’s proposed advisory fee. They reviewed the Fund’s net expense ratio of 0.87% and acknowledged that it was lower than the average net expense ratio for the Fund’s peer group. The Trustees concluded that Rareview’s proposed advisory fees and the overall fees on behalf of the Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF were not unreasonable.
Rareview Systematic Equity ETF. The Trustees acknowledged the proposed advisory fee of 0.85% and net expense ratio of 0.97%. They compared the Fund’s advisory fee and expense ratio to the Fund’s peer group and noted that both were lower than the peer group’s average advisory fee and net expense ratio of 1.12% and 0.98%, respectively. The Trustees reviewed the advisory fee’s charged by Rareview for managing its other ETFs and noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was higher than the Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF but lower than the Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF and Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF. The Board concluded that Rareview’s proposed advisory fees and the overall fees on behalf of the Rareview Systematic Equity ETF were not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Trustees reviewed profitability analysis for each Fund and noted that the adviser did not anticipate earning a profit for the Rareview Systematic Equity ETF during its first year of operation and anticipated earning a modest profit in connection with the Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF. They further noted the adviser anticipated earning a profit in year two for both Funds. The Trustees acknowledged that the profitability estimates were based assumptions that may not materialize. The Trustees determined that the estimated profitability for Rareview with regard to each Fund was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale would be realized in connection with the advisory services provided to the Funds. They noted that based on each Fund’s projected asset size and profit level, the absence of breakpoints was acceptable at this time. The Board discussed Rareview’s position on breakpoints and agreed to continue to monitor each Fund’s asset levels and revisit the matter as each Fund continues to grow.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Rareview as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that approval of the advisory agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its future shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Service. The Trustees noted that GST was founded in 2017 to provide discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to registered investment companies and separately managed accounts. They further noted that GST was in the process of registering with the SEC as an investment adviser and would be fully registered before the Fund became operational. They reviewed the background information of Mr. Jones and took into consideration his diverse education and financial industry experience. The Trustees noted that GST, as the sub-adviser, would provide the adviser non-discretionary signals that the adviser utilizes when determining whether to buy, sell, or hold a security. The Trustees, based upon their review, concluded that the sub-adviser would likely provide a high level of service to the Fund and its shareholders.
Performance. The Trustees reviewed sub-adviser’s hypothetical back-tested performance and noted that the sub-adviser’s strategy would have returned approximately 18.42% on an annual basis from the since inception period beginning April 1, 2003. They acknowledged the limitations of back-tested performance data and noted that (i) in generating the data, no market risk was involved because no actual trading was done; (ii) because the data was created with the benefit of hindsight, it may be difficult to account for all factors that would have affected the sub-adviser’s decision-making process; (iii) assumptions used to generate the data may not be indicative of current or future market conditions and (iv) due to the benefit of hindsight, back-tested performance tends to show favorable results. The Trustees agreed that the sub-adviser should be given an opportunity to sub-advise the Fund.
Fees and Expenses. The Trustees noted that sub-adviser would receive 40% of the Fund’s net management fee. They compared the proposed sub-advisory fee to the fees charged by the sub-adviser for managing other accounts and noted that Fund’s sub-advisory was lower than the fees typically charged by the sub-adviser. The Trustees agreed that the sub-advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Trustees reviewed the profitability analysis provided by the sub-adviser in connection with the services provided to the Fund. They noted that the sub-adviser estimated that it would receive a profit in connection with its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees noted that the profits were reasonable in terms of actual dollars and as a percentage of revenue.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether the sub-adviser had realized economies of scale with respect to the sub-advisory services provided to the Fund. The Trustee agreed that this was primarily an adviser level issue

and had been considered with respect to the overall advisory agreement, taking into consideration the impact of the sub-advisory expense and the breakpoints in the sub-advisory fee.
