Management’s Discussion of Fund PerformanceSeptember 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF

WHAT IS THE FUND’S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective principally through investments in closed-end funds. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in fixed income closed-end funds trading at a discount or premium to their underlying net asset value and that pay regular periodic cash distributions.

WHAT CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FUND’S RELATIVE PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD?

The Fund underperformed during the period.

The Fund gained 2.59% during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Since its inception on October 20, 2020, through September 30, 2023, the Fund gained 0.10%.

Relative to a 50/50 blend1 of Investment Grade and High Yield credit, the Fund underperformed by 4.61% during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, and outperformed 1.99% since inception on October 20, 2020.

Performance was positive as the speed of the Federal Reserve tightening slowed, and longer-term interest rates generally stabilized. The discount-to-Net Asset Value widened in most of the Fund’s closed-end fund holdings as the US Treasury yield curve inverted further and the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates, which created higher financing costs for the underlying holdings.

A higher allocation to emerging market fixed income positively contributed to performance. Reduced exposure to more risky fixed income detracted from performance on a relative basis. The risk overlay process positively contributed to performance.

1 Investments cannot be made in an index. Unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The 50/50 blend index consists of 50% ICE BofA 5-10 Year US Corporate Index and 50% iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index. The ICE BofA 5-10 Year US Corporate Index tracks the performance of US dollar-denominated investment grade rated corporate debt publicly issued in the US domestic market. The Markit iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index consists of liquid USD high yield bonds, selected to provide a balanced representation of the broad USD high yield corporate bond universe.

Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF

WHAT IS THE FUND’S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF). The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective principally through investments in closed-end funds. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in municipal bond closed-end funds trading at a discount or premium to their underlying net asset value and that pay regular periodic cash distributions.

WHAT CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FUND’S RELATIVE PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD?

The Fund underperformed during the period.

The Fund lost 4.84% during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Since its inception on October 20, 2020, though September 30, 2023, the Fund lost 6.99%.

Relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond Index1, the Fund underperformed by 7.50% during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, and 4.77% since inception on October 20, 2020.

A rise in interest rates and higher short-term financing costs detracted from performance. The discount-to-Net Asset Value widened in most of the Fund’s closed-end fund holdings as the US Treasury yield curve inverted further and the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates, which created higher financing costs for the underlying holdings. The risk overlay process positively contributed to performance.

1 Investments cannot be made in an index. Unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Index covers the USD-denominated long-term tax-exempt bond market. The index has four main sectors: state and local general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, insured bonds, and pre-refunded bonds.

Management’s Discussion of Fund PerformanceSeptember 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

Rareview Inflation/Deflation Income ETF

WHAT IS THE FUND’S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective through investments in inflation-protected U.S. Treasury securities (“TIPS”), exchange traded funds that primarily invest in TIPS, or other U.S. Treasury securities. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective over a business cycle which it defines as approximately 60 months. The Adviser invests the Fund’s assets in TIPS or ETFs that primarily invest in TIPS when the Adviser believes the market is in an inflationary environment. The Adviser invests in U.S. Treasury securities when the Adviser believes the market is in a deflationary environment. The Fund will also either invest in a combination of cash, cash equivalents, and exchange traded and over-the-counter fixed income derivatives based on the Adviser’s outlook on current interest rates.

WHAT CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FUND’S RELATIVE PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD?

The Fund underperformed during the period.

The Fund lost 11.76% during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Since its inception on January 5, 2022, through September 30, 2023, the Fund lost 11.34%.

Relative to the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index1, the Fund underperformed by 12.40% during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, and 3.58% since inception on January 5, 2022.

Fixed income securities holdings positively contributed to performance. The yield curve being deeply inverted for a prolonged period and interest rate strategies related to the Federal Reserve tightening cycle ending detracted from performance.

1 Investments cannot be made in an index. Unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and non-agency).

Rareview Systematic Equity ETF

WHAT IS THE FUND’S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in exchange traded funds that primarily invest in equity securities of domestic, foreign or emerging market issuers of any market capitalization.

WHAT CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FUND’S RELATIVE PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD?

The Fund underperformed during the period.

The Fund gained 3.20% during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Since its inception on January 20, 2022, though September 30, 2023, the Fund gained 0.76%.

Relative to the MSCI ACWI Index1, the Fund underperformed by 18.21% during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, and outperformed by 4.18% since inception on January 20, 2022.

The Fund used long-term and short-term behavior models to take long and short positions. The Fund seeks to add value by owning regional markets when expected returns are positive and take defensive positions when expected returns are negative.

The underperformance is mostly the result of the benchmark composition of the MSCI ACWI Index¹. The MSCI ACWI Index¹ is predominantly a large cap index with a measured allocation to emerging markets. The Fund allocates 33% of its exposure to US small caps and emerging markets. Large cap developed markets materially outperformed US small caps and emerging markets.

1 Investments cannot be made in an index. Unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) is a stock index designed to track broad global equity-market performance. The index comprises the stocks of nearly 3,000 companies from 23 developed countries and 25 emerging markets.

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 1-888-783-8637 or visit http://www.rareviewcapital.com.

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.

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.

Expense ExamplesSeptember 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

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.

Annual Shareholder Report | 32

Notes to Financial StatementsSeptember 30, 2023

(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, as amended (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 (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are diversified actively-managed exchange-traded 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. The Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF and the Rareview Systematic Equity ETF are commodity pools under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act and their advisor, Rareview Capital, LLC, is registered as a commodity pool operator with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

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 10,000 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

Annual Shareholder Report | 33

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2023

whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds.

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 accounting principles generally accepted 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.).

Annual Shareholder Report | 34

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2023

• 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 Funds 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.

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 options 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. If an option is not traded on the valuation date, exchange traded options are valued at the composite price. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded.

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.

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. In certain countries, market maker prices are used since they are the most representative of the daily trading activity. In the case of certain foreign exchanges, the closing price reported by the exchange (which may sometimes be referred to by the exchange or one or more pricing agents as the “official close” or the “official closing price” or other similar term) will be considered the most recent sale price. Securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked quotes or the last sale price where appropriate; otherwise, fair value will be determined in accordance with fair value procedures approved by the Board.

Annual Shareholder Report | 35

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2023

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

The Funds did not hold any Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2023.

(a) Other financial instruments include derivative instruments, such as futures contracts which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument and written options, which are valued at fair value.

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 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 its current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which it invests.

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.

Annual Shareholder Report | 37

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2023

D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF, Rareview Tax Advantaged Income, and Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF intend to distribute to their shareholders net investment income, if any, at least monthly. Rareview Systematic Equity ETF intends to distribute to its shareholders net investment income, if any, at least semi-annually. The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders any 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.

F. Short Sales

The Funds may engage in short sales against the box (i.e., where the Funds own or has an unconditional right to acquire at no additional cost a security substantially similar to the security sold short) for hedging purposes to limit exposure to a possible market decline in the value of their portfolio securities. In a short sale, the Funds sell a borrowed security and has a corresponding obligation to the lender to return the identical security. The Funds may also incur dividend and interest expense on securities sold short. When the Funds engage in a short sale, the Funds record a liability for securities sold short and record an asset equal to the proceeds received. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the securities sold short. To borrow the security, the Funds also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. There were no open short positions as of September 30, 2023.

G. Derivative Instruments:

All open derivative positions at year 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.

Annual Shareholder Report | 38

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2023

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 September 30, 2023, and the monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the year ended September 30, 2023 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.

Annual Shareholder Report | 39

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2023

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 are 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 September 30, 2023, 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 September 30, 2023, and the monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the year ended September 30, 2023 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 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.

Annual Shareholder Report | 45

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2023

As of and during the year ended September 30, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.

(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 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

Annual Shareholder Report | 48

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)September 30, 2023

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.

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. 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.

Approval of Management AgreementSeptember 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) held on August 30, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement between Rareview Capital LLC (“Rareview”) and the Trust, with respect to the Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF (“Fixed Income ETF”) and Rareview Tax Advantaged ETF (“Tax Advantaged ETF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). In considering the renewal of the investment advisory agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the investment advisory agreement.

The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between Rareview and the Trust. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the investment advisory agreement on behalf of the Fund and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the renewal of the investment advisory agreement.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board noted that Rareview was an SEC registered investment adviser with $197.18 million in assets under management as of June 30, 2023. The Board reviewed the background information of the key personnel responsible for the Funds and noted that there were no material changes. The Board discussed the services Rareview provided the Funds, including general portfolio management, asset allocation, trading and risk management. The Board noted that Rareview prepared monthly reports monitoring compliance with each Funds’ investment limitation. The Board noted that Rareview had no material compliance issues nor any material litigation or administrative action in the past 36 months. The Board reviewed Rareview’s policies and procedures for selection of broker-dealers for portfolio transactions, which included quantitative and qualitative factors. The Board recalled that Rareview was previously audited by the SEC in 2021 which identified minor deficiencies related to outside business activities. The Board acknowledged Rareview’s assertion that, currently, there was no outside business activities. The Board concluded that it expected Rareview to continue to provide satisfactory service to the Funds and their shareholders.

Performance.

Fixed Income ETF. The Board observed that the Fixed Income ETF underperformed its benchmark index, 50% ICE BofA 5-10Y US Corp TR USD and 50% Markit iBoxx Liquid High Yield TR USD, with a 0.89% return

Annual Shareholder Report | 52

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

for the 1-year period but outperformed its benchmark with a 1.77% return since inception. The Board remembered that the inception of the Fund occurred in October 2020, so there were no data for the 5-year and 10-year periods. The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was acceptable.

Tax Advantaged Income ETF. The Board observed that the Tax Advantaged Income ETF underperformed its benchmark index, the Bloomberg Municipal TR USD, with a -4.24 return for the 1-year period and -3.63% return since inception. The Board remembered that the inception of the Fund occurred in October 2020, so there were no data for the 5-year and 10-year periods. The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was acceptable and agreed to continue to monitor performance.

Fees and Expenses.

Fixed Income ETF. The Board noted that the advisory fee and net expense ratio with respect to the Fixed Income ETF was 0.97%, which was the lowest of the range of its actively managed peer group. The Board noted Rareview’s intention to renew the expense limitation agreement for an additional year and concluded that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Tax Advantaged Income ETF. The Board noted that the advisory fee and net expense ratio with respect to the Tax Advantaged Income ETF was 0.75%, which was within the range of its peer group. The Board noted Rareview’s intention to renew the expense limitation agreement for an additional year and concluded that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by Rareview and noted that there was a net loss for Rareview with regard to its management of the Funds. After discussion, the Board determined that excessive profitability was not an issue for Rareview at this time.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale would be realized in connection with the services provided to the Funds by Rareview. The Board noted that there were no breakpoints 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 the Funds continued 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 renewal of the investment advisory agreement was in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.
