TABLE OF CONTENTS
Annual Shareholder Report | 1
The Mohr Growth ETF maintained a defensive posture in 1st quarter 2023. The market, supported by a select group of tech stocks, moved higher albeit with a high level of volatility. The lack of breadth among those stocks participating in performance coupled with continued turbulence, prevented foundational, sustained trends from taking shape. This trendless volatility led the Mohr Growth ETF to stay defensive.
Based on continued volatility and overall range-bound performance of the equity market, the Mohr Growth ETF maintained defensive allocation into 2nd quarter 2023. The pricing activity of the index breached the upper bounds of the long-term range, putting into motion a dollar cost-averaged allocation to full market risk through the end of the quarter. Performance opportunities were limited relative to the level of market exposure throughout 2nd quarter 2023.
3rd quarter 2023 was characterized by rising longer term yields and volatility in equities, especially in the latter half of the quarter. The ETF performed in-line with the overall market as market volatility limited opportunities for technology-driven momentum and trending exposure.

Mindful Conservative ETF
The Mindful Conservative ETF held firm in ultra-short Treasury bills from 1st quarter 2023 until mid 2nd quarter 2023. These bills offered the portfolio stable value and a yield that’s growing higher as interest rates rise. Given the historic slaughter of the bond market and extreme volatility in all stocks, defensives included, the portfolio determined the safest harbor was ultra-short U.S. government paper.
Significant downdrafts and volatility in the fixed income space prevented the Mindful Conservative ETF portfolio from taking any positions. Both stock and bond markets exhibited significant negative volatility and showed no durable trends to which our quantitative software would allocate.
As markets anticipated the end to the Fed tightening cycle, fixed income volatility subsided, and equities extended beyond long-term upper bounds. This presented the opportunity to assume full risk using a dollar-cost averaging approach. By end of Q2, the portfolio was fully engaged with software analytics. Performance opportunities were limited relative to the level of market exposure throughout Q2 2023.
Q3 2023 was characterized by rising longer term yields and volatility in equities, especially in the latter half of the quarter. The ETF performed in-line with the overall market as market volatility limited opportunities for technology-driven momentum and trending exposure.

Adaptive Core ETF
Throughout 1st quarter 2023, the Adaptive Core ETF held steady in its defensive positioning based on the quantitative software’s analysis of continued trendless volatility. The persistent downtrends in equities and bonds meant there were no durable upward trends that would signal to buy.
Defensive positioning continued into 2nd quarter 2023 as the quantitative software’s analysis evaluated a volatile and trendless market environment. Range-bound behavior in equities resulted in a lack of durable upward trends that would typically signal a buying opportunity.
The pricing activity of the index breached the upper bounds of the long-term range, putting into motion a dollar cost-averaged allocation to full market risk through the end of 2nd quarter.
Adaptive Core ETF performed in-line with the overall market in 3rd quarter 2023 as market volatility limited opportunities for technology-driven momentum and trending exposure.

Mohr Sector Nav ETF
The Mohr Sector NAV ETF launched January 10, 2023. The start of Q1 was the onset of an upward trend, with Mohr Sector NAV ETF inception date occurring late into this upward cycle and thus missing a portion of this opportunity. The quantitative software’s analysis has been actively engaged across all sectors since inception. Volatility has persisted and has served as a headwind in establishing sustainable trends among the sectors.
2nd quarter 2023 represented the first full quarter of active engagement across all sectors. Concentration in performance among select mega-cap tech stocks persisted throughout Q2 2023. The ETF captured good performance but, as a sector-focused ETF, could not specifically invest in the 7 stocks that accounted for a large portion of the full index performance.
3rd quarter 2023 was characterized by rising longer term yields and volatility in equities, especially in the latter half of the quarter. The ETF performed in-line with the overall market as market volatility pushed exposure more heavily into broad market constituents as opposed to single sector exposure.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Return calculations assume the reinvestment of distributions and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The performance data quoted represent past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. The performance above reflects any fee reductions during the applicable periods. If such fee reductions had not occurred, the quoted performance would be lower. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-464-6608 or visit http://www.mohrfunds.com.
*The chart represents historical performance of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in Mohr Growth ETF and represents the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains in the Fund.
(a) The total expense ratio reflects the gross expense ratio as reported in the Fund’s Prospectus dated February 1, 2023. Please see the Fund’s most recent prospectus for details. Additional information pertaining to the Fund’s expense ratio as of September 30, 2023 can be found in the Financial Highlights.
(b) Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions, including dividends and return of capital, at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at net asset value. This percentage is not an indication of the performance of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund based on market value due to differences between the market price of the shares and the net asset value per share of the Fund.
(c) Market value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the market value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions, including dividends and return of capital, at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at market value. 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.
(d) The S&P 500 Index measures the performance of 500 widely held stocks in US equity market. Standard and Poor’s chooses member companies for the index based on market size, liquidity and industry group representation. Included are the stocks of industrial, financial, utility and transportation companies. Since mid 1989, this composition has been more flexible and the number of issues in each sector has varied. It is market capitalization-weighted. Index returns, unlike the Fund’s returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

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 six-month period ended September 30, 2023.
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.

Annual Shareholder Report | 28
(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 Mohr Growth ETF, Mindful Conservative ETF, Adaptive Core ETF, and Mohr Sector Nav ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are diversified actively-managed exchange-traded funds. The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of the Funds are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Mohr Sector Nav ETF commenced operations on January 10, 2023.
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”). 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 the Funds.
Annual Shareholder Report | 29
Notes to Financial
Statements (continued)September 30,
2023
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” including, Accounting Standards Update 2013-08. 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 Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to 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. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market as determined using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the execution of these procedures to the advisor as fair value designee. 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 uses 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).
Annual Shareholder Report | 30
Notes to Financial
Statements (continued)September 30,
2023
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Common stocks 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.
The Funds did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2023.
The following table summarizes the Funds’ investments, based on their valuation inputs, as of September 30, 2023, while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for the Funds:

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
Annual Shareholder Report | 31
Notes to Financial
Statements (continued)September 30,
2023
are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and dividend expense, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Funds 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 their current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.
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.
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 the 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. The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders net investment income and net realized capital 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.
In addition, the Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
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.

(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 transaction fees for each Fund are listed below:

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 September 30, 2023, there were no unsettled in-kind capital transactions.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Management of the Funds has reviewed the tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including U.S. federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
As of and during the year or period ended September 30, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
As of September 30, 2023, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:
|

(7) 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 the 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 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 and Geopolitical Risk
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the
Annual Shareholder Report | 37
Notes to Financial
Statements (continued)September 30,
2023
value and risk profile of the Fund. The COVID-19 global pandemic had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Fund 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. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
(8) Concentration of Investments
As of September 30, 2023, the Mohr Sector Nav ETF’s investment in SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust represented 46.44% of the Fund’s net assets. The financial statements of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust can be found by accessing the fund’s website at http://www.ssga.com.
(9) Subsequent Events
Effective November 1,2023, Tuttle Capital Management LLC will no longer serve as investment sub-advisor to the Funds. Subsequent to this date, Retireful, LLC will assume all sub-advisor duties for the funds and will retain the fees currently paid to Tuttle Capital Management, LLC for sub-advisory services.
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of September 30, 2023.

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.
Annual Shareholder Report | 39
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 September 30, 2023, 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2022.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the 1940 Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Funds’ investment strategy and the liquidity of their portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; their short and long-term cash flow projections; and their cash holdings and access to other funding sources.
The Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the “Committee”) reviewed the Funds’ investments and determined that the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that (i) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.
TAILORED SHAREHOLDER REPORTS FOR MUTUAL FUNDS AND ETFS
Effective 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 no longer 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.
