Dear Shareholder,

 

LeaderShares® Activist Leaders® ETF (ACTV)*: +58.60%

During the LeaderShares® Activist Leaders® ETF’s (the “Fund”) fiscal year the global economy began to stabilize as recovery from the spread of Covid-19 became more widespread. The US economy led the global recovery with US equities achieving multiple new highs.

 

The Fund posted a return of 58.60% (Source: Ultimus) during the period as compared to 42.91% for the S&P 500. During the period, the Fund was invested in a portfolio of stocks based on its quantitative selection methodology. The Fund is an active fund and does not track an index. The Fund’s concentrated exposure in companies benefitting from shareholder activism and the global economic recovery seemed to drive the outperformance against the S&P 500 Index, which returned 42.91% (Source: Ultimus) for the reporting period. Generally, however, systematic correlation to the overall U.S. equity market was as expected on both down and up trends. The Fund will continue to implement its disciplined quantitative stock selection process.

During the LeaderShares® AlphaFactor® US Core Equity ETF’s (the “Fund”) fiscal year the global economy began to stabilize as recovery from the spread of Covid-19 became more widespread. The US economy led the global recovery with US equities achieving multiple new highs.

 

The Fund posted a return of +36.84% (Source: Ultimus) for the year ended October 31, 2021, as compared to the +38.37% return of its benchmark AlphaFactor® US Core Equity Index (Source: Ultimus). During the period, the Fund was invested in a portfolio of stocks based on its quantitative selection methodology. The Fund’s under-exposure to quantitative factors such as growth and size, both categories which continued to lead the recovery post Q1 2020 market correction and had a large attribution within the S&P 500 Index, drove some of the Fund’s equity underperformance against the S&P 500 Index, which returned 42.91% (Source: Ultimus) for the reporting period. Generally, however, systematic correlation to the overall U.S. equity market was as expected on both down and up trends. The Fund will continue to implement its disciplined quantitative stock selection process.

 

Capital markets are infinitely complex. Every day, new information becomes available that changes the risk and return dynamic of any investment. In our view, capital markets are only a tool to capture opportunities in favorable risk -return dynamic, wherever they exist to work towards an investor’s long-term goal or objective. We do not attempt to forecast or suggest what may lie ahead. Instead, we utilize a quantitative approach, aiming to minimize the subjectivity of investing.

Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception (10/26/2020) to the first day of secondary market trading shares of the Fund, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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 investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standards Update ASU 2013-08.

 

Securities valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the 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. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Options contracts listed on a securities exchange or board of trade (not including Index Options contracts) 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 current bid and ask prices on the valuation date. Index Options listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the valuation date. The Funds may fair value a particular bond if the adviser does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Funds’ holding. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value). Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Valuation of Underlying 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 to the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.

 

Open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. 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 premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.

 

The Funds 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 a fair value committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor.  The committee may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value.  The Board has also engaged a third party valuation firm to, as needed, attend valuation meetings held by the Trust, review minutes of such meetings and report to the Board on a quarterly basis.   The Board reviews and considers the determinations reached by the Fair Value Committee in ratifying the Fair Value Committee’s application of the fair valuation methodologies employed.

 

Fair Valuation Process –The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each group within the fair value committee.  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 advisor, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the advisor to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask 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 securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the advisor 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

 

 
LeaderShares® ETF’s
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

appropriate under the circumstances).  If the advisor is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value committee 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.

 

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 Fund has the ability to access.

 

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

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s 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.

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. 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – For the LeaderShares® AlphaFactor® US Core Equity ETF Fund, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. For the LeaderShares® Activist Leader® ETF, LeaderShares® AlphaFactor® Tactical Focused ETF, and the LeaderShares® US Equity Skew ETF, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. For the LeaderShares® Dynamic Yield ETF, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. 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. Quarterly distributions in excess of ordinary taxable income are treated as returns of capital. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Option Transactions – The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against risk. When a Fund writes put and call options, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the statement of assets and liability as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Funds have no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retain the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in the Funds’ portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Funds to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call

option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Funds upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Funds. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Funds, the benefits realized by the Funds as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.

 

Federal Income Taxes – It is the Funds’ policy 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 has been recorded.

 

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 years or expected to be taken in the Funds’ October 31, 2021 year-end tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably expected that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

 

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

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, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

For the year (except as indicated) ended October 31, 2021 the funds incurred the following advisory fees:

 

    Investment Advisory Fees
LeaderShares® Activist Leaders ETF    $                           448,583
LeaderShares® AlphaFactor® Tactical Focused ETF                                 977,442
LeaderShares® AlphaFactor® US Core Equity ETF                                 714,425
LeaderShares® Equity Skew ETF                                 597,411
LeaderShares® Dynamic Yield ETF*                                 151,005

 

* Advisory fees shown for the period from inception to October 31, 2021

 

The Advisor’s unitary management fee is designed to pay the Funds’ expenses and to compensate the Advisor for providing services for the Funds. Out of the unitary management fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services and Independent Trustees’ fees, but not payments under the Funds’ 12b-1 plan, brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, borrowing costs (such as dividend expense on securities sold short and interest), fees and expenses of other investment companies in which the Funds may invest, and extraordinary or non-recurring expenses (including litigation to which the Trust or the Funds may be a party and indemnification of the Trustees and officers with respect thereto). The Advisor, and not the Funds’ shareholders, would benefit from any reduction in fees paid for third-party services, including reductions based on increases in net assets.

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. Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, the Funds’ distributor, its affiliates, and the Funds’ Advisor or its affiliates may, at their own expense and out of their own legitimate profits, provide additional cash payments to financial intermediaries who sell shares of the Funds, including affiliates of the Advisor.

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sale, adjustments for debt modification and adjustments for real estate investment trusts and C-Corporation return of capital distributions.

 

Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The LeaderShares® Activist Leaders ETF incurred and elected to defer such capital losses of $33,460.

 

At October 31, 2021, the LeaderShares® AlphaFactor® US Core Equity ETF and LeaderShares Equity Skew ETF had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains, as follows:

7. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Funds at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.”  Shares are created and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 25,000 shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. 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 Depository Trust Company 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 the Funds 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, the Funds may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Funds shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Funds in effecting trades. A fixed fee payable to the custodian is 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 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”).  Transactions in capital shares for the Funds are disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

 

Investors who use the services of a broker, or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services. The Transaction Fees for the Fund are listed in the table below:

 

Fee for In-Kind and Minimum Additional Variable Maximum Additional Variable 
Cash Purchases Charge for Cash Purchases* Charge for Cash Purchases*
$600 0.20% 2.00%

* As a percentage of the amount invested.

LeaderShares® ETF’s
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
October 31, 2021

 

ETF Structure Risks. Each Fund is structured as an ETF and as a result is subject to special risks. Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Fund at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.”

 

    Trading in shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility. There can be no assurance that shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of the Exchange. An active trading market for the Fund’s shares may not be developed or maintained. If the Fund’s shares are traded outside a collateralized settlement system, the number of financial institutions that can act as authorized participants that can post collateral on an agency basis is limited, which may limit the market for the Fund’s shares.

 

    The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares and will include a “bid-ask spread” charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. There may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly.

 

Equity Risk. Equity securities are susceptible to general market fluctuations and volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. Factors that may influence the price of equity securities include developments affecting a specific company or industry, or the changing economic, political or market conditions.

 

Fluctuation of Net Asset Value Risk. The NAV of the Fund’s shares will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of the shares will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of and demand for the shares on the Exchange. The Advisor cannot predict whether the shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for the shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. Unlike conventional ETFs, Activist Leaders ETF, Tactical Focused ETF, Equity SKEW ETF, and Dynamic Yield are not index funds. The Funds are actively managed and do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified Index. Actively managed ETFs have a limited trading history and, therefore, there can be no assurance as to whether and/or the extent to which the shares will trade at premiums or discounts to NAV.

 

Index Tracking Error Risk. As with all index funds, the performance of the Fund and the Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, the Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times, may deviate from the relative weightings of Index or may hold securities not included in the Index. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times or market volatility or other unusual market conditions.

 

Market Risk. Overall market risk may affect the value of individual instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities markets will move down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based on overall economic conditions and other factors, which may negatively affect

 

 
LeaderShares® ETF’s
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
October 31, 2021

 

the Fund’s performance. Factors such as domestic and foreign (non-U.S.) economic growth and market conditions, real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rate levels, lack of liquidity in the bond or other markets, volatility in the securities markets, adverse investor sentiment affect the securities markets and political events affect the securities markets. Securities markets also may experience long periods of decline in value. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.

 

Local, state, regional, national or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and could result in decreases to the Fund’s net asset value. Political, geopolitical, natural and other events, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, government shutdowns, market closures, natural and environmental disasters, epidemics, pandemics and other public health crises and related events and governments’ reactions to such events have led, and in the future may lead, to economic uncertainty, decreased economic activity, increased market volatility and other disruptive effects on U.S. and global economies and markets. Such events may have significant adverse direct or indirect effects on the Fund and its investments. For example, a widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and affect Fund performance. A health crisis may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks. In addition, the increasing interconnectedness of markets around the world may result in many markets being affected by events or conditions in a single country or region or events affecting a single or small number of issuers.

 

COVID-19 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, business and school closings, 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.

 

9. UNDERLYING INVESTMENT IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

 

The Funds invest in other ETFs. Each ETF is subject to specific risks depending on the nature of the ETF. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, foreign and related currency risk and high yield risk. Investors in the Funds will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying investment companies in which the Funds invest in addition to the Funds’ direct fees and expenses.

 

The performance on the LeaderShares® Equity Skew ETF will be directly affected by the performance of the SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Growth ETF and SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Value ETF. The annual report for these securities, along with the report of the independent registered public accounting firms are included in those securities N-CSR’s available at “www.sec.gov”. As of October 31, 2021, the percentage of the LeaderShares® Equity Skew ETF’s net assets invested in SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Growth ETF and SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Value ETF were 34.8% and 25.6%, respectively.

10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (‘‘ASU 2020-04’’). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any of applying this ASU.

In October 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new regulations governing the use of derivative by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a Fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Funds will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19,2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Funds. When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how a Fund uses derivatives, adversely affect the Fund’s performance and increase costs related to the Funds’ use of derivatives.

 

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

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 events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 their 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 procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the Two Roads Shared Trust since 2016.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)
October 31, 2021

 

As a shareholder 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 a unitary management fee and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The example for LeaderShares® Activist Leaders® ETF, LeaderShares® AlphaFactor® Tactical Focused ETF, LeaderShares® AlphaFactor® US Core Equity ETF, and LeaderShares® Equity Skew ETF is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2021 through October 31, 2021. The Dynamic Yield ETF Fund commenced operation on June 28, 2021. Therefore, this funds example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at inception and held for the remainder of the period from June 28, 2021 through October 31, 2021.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The “Actual” expenses line in the table below provides 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” line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. 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.

Approval of Advisory Agreement

 

LeaderShares Dynamic Yield ETF

 

At a meeting held on June 15, 2021 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Two Roads Shared Trust (the “Trust”), each of whom is not an “interested person” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees” or the “Trustees”), as such term is defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered the approval of an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Redwood Investment Management LLC (“Redwood” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the LeaderShares Dynamic Yield ETF (“DYLD” or the “Fund”).

 

In connection with the Board’s consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board received written materials in advance of the Meeting, which included information regarding: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by Redwood; (ii) a description of the Adviser’s investment management personnel; (iii) an overview of the Adviser’s operations and financial condition; (iv) a description of the Adviser’s brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements); (v) a comparison of the Fund’s proposed advisory fees and overall expenses with those of comparable funds; (vi) the anticipated level of profitability from the Adviser’s fund-related operations; (vii) the Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures, including policies and procedures for personal securities transactions, business continuity and information security and (viii) information regarding the performance record of other funds with similar investment strategies to those of the Fund.

 

Throughout the process, including at the meeting, the Board had numerous opportunities to ask questions of and request additional materials from Redwood. During the Meeting, the Board was advised by, and met in executive session with, the Board’s independent legal counsel, and received a memorandum from such independent counsel regarding their responsibilities under applicable law. The Board also noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser was an ongoing one and that in this regard, the Board took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Adviser.

 

Matters considered by the Board in connection with its approval of the Advisory Agreement included, among others, the following:

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed materials provided by Redwood related to the Advisory Agreement with the Trust with respect to DYLD, including: the Advisory Agreement; a description of the manner in which investment decisions are made and executed; an overview of the personnel that perform services for DYLD and their background and experience; a summary of the financial condition of Redwood; an overview of Redwood’s compliance program, including its business continuity and cybersecurity policies, a Code of Ethics containing provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons, as that term is defined in Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, from engaging in conduct prohibited by Rule 17j-1(b); information

 

 
LeaderShares® ETF’s
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)
October 31, 2021

 

regarding risk management processes and liquidity management; an annual review of the operation of Redwood’s compliance program; information regarding Redwood’s compliance and regulatory history; and independent reports prepared by Broadridge, an independent third party data provider, analyzing the proposed fees and expenses of DYLD as compared to other ETFs with similar investment strategies.

 

In reaching its conclusions with respect to the nature and quality of services to be provided by Redwood under the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered its regular review of Redwood’s asset management, risk management, operations, and compliance experience in connection with Redwood’s existing suite of funds. The Board noted that the Trust’s CCO has reviewed Redwood’s compliance policies and procedures and had discussed the operation of Redwood’s compliance program, including recent additions Redwood had made to improving its operations, and that his conclusions regarding Redwood’s compliance program continue to find that Redwood’s compliance program is reasonably designed to ensure compliance with federal securities laws.

 

With respect to DYLD, the Board considered that the Fund’s proposed investment strategy and the efficiencies Redwood would gain from managing a fund with this particular investment strategy. The Board considered Redwood’s operational track record with its other funds, including its experience with actively managed ETFs and with funds that use derivatives to execute their strategies, and determined that Redwood had the requisite experience and sophistication to manage DYLD’s investment strategy. In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Redwood, the Board also took into account its knowledge, acquired through multiple discussions and reports during the preceding year and in past years, of Redwood’s management and the quality of the performance of Redwood’s duties.

 

The Board concluded that Redwood had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methodologies and compliance policies and procedures to perform its duties under the Advisory Agreement with respect to DYLD and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided by Redwood has been satisfactory.

 

Performance. The Board considered the Adviser’s discussion of its experience with respect to the proposed strategy of the Fund and that the Adviser did not currently run a comparable fund but had experience with a similar strategy within certain of its model portfolios. The Board noted that although no comparable returns had been provided for consideration with respect to DYLD, based on Redwood’s experience and expertise, Redwood could be expected to operate the Fund’s investment strategy. The Board concluded that Redwood’s overall historical performance was satisfactory, and that Redwood was expected to obtain acceptable level of investment returns for shareholders of DYLD.

 

Fees and Expenses. Regarding the costs of the services provided by Redwood with respect to DYLD, the Board considered a comparison of DYLD’s unitary fee and net operating expense ratio to those of the funds in its Peer Group. The Board noted that Redwood charged a unitary fee of 0.75% (exclusive of brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, borrowing costs such as dividend expense on securities sold short and interest, fees and expenses of other investment companies in which DYLD might invest, extraordinary or non-recurring expenses, and DYLD’s allocated pro-

rata portion of fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees and their legal counsel). The Board noted that DYLD’s unitary fee and estimated total operating expenses were above the median of its Peer Group but were not the highest in its Peer Group. The Board took into account Redwood’s discussion of DYLD’s estimated expenses and specifically Redwood’s review of certain comparable funds in the Peer Group that they believed did not provide an applicable strategy comparison to DYLD because they were primarily high yield bond funds and not actively managed and/or tactical fixed income funds, and that if those funds were excluded, DYLD’s unitary fee would be lower than the mean and median of the fees and expenses of the remaining Peer Group. The Board concluded that the advisory fee of DYLD is consistent with Redwood’s fees for its other tactical strategy ETFs and is not unreasonable.

 

Profitability. The Board considered Redwood’s anticipated profitability and whether these expected profits are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to DYLD. The Board reviewed a profitability analysis prepared by Redwood based on projected asset levels of DYLD and considered the anticipated net profits of Redwood after its expenses were deducted from the unitary fee. The Board noted the direct and indirect costs of operating DYLD in that analysis and concluded that Redwood’s estimated profitability from its relationship with the Fund was not excessive.

 

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Redwood would realize economies of scale with respect to its management of DYLD as it grew and whether fee levels reflected these economies. The Board noted that DYLD’s current advisory fee does not include breakpoints. The Board also noted the unitary fee structure of the Fund. The Board concluded that, at current and projected asset levels for the initial term of the Advisory Agreement with respect to DYLD, economies of scale were not a consideration at this time but that the Board would consider whether economies of scale exist in the future.

 

Other Benefits . The Board also considered the character and amount of other direct and incidental benefits to be received by Redwood from its association with DYLD. The Board considered that Redwood expected to use DYLD as one of the components of model portfolios it builds for its clients and that DYLD would reduce trading and custodial costs for its clients using its models. The Board noted that Redwood did not anticipate receiving any other direct, indirect or ancillary material “fall-out” benefits from its relationship with DYLD.

 

Conclusion. The Board, having requested and received such information from Redwood as it believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement with respect to DYLD, and having been advised by independent counsel that the Board had appropriately considered and weighed all relevant factors, determined that approval of the Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term was in the best interests of DYLD and its future shareholders.

 

In considering the Advisory Agreement’s approval, the Board considered a variety of factors, including those discussed above, and also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets, and the industry) . The Board did not identify any one factor as determinative, and each Independent Trustee may have weighed each factor differently. The Board’s conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regular review of fund performance and operations throughout the year.
