The following tables provide information on the underlying components of each option on dispersion basket. Underlying components are equally weighted. The payout will equal the notional amount multiplied by the average absolute difference between the return of each underlying security and the return of the basket in excess of the strike. If the average difference is less than the strike, the option will expire worthless.

Infinity Q Diversified Alpha Fund
Consolidated Schedule of Investments (continued)
November 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
 
Consolidation of Subsidiary:

The Consolidated Schedule of Investments of the Infinity Q Diversified Alpha Fund (the “Fund”) includes the holdings of the Infinity Q Commodity Fund Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary, a Cayman Islands Exempted Company, was incorporated on July 15, 2014, and is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund. The Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity index swaps and other commodity-linked derivative instruments, and the Fund may invest up to 25% of its totals assets in the Subsidiary. The Fund’s policy is to consolidate entities when it is the sole or principal owner of such entity. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The net assets of the Subsidiary at November 30, 2018, were $23,058,383, which represented 6.65% of the Fund’s net assets.

Valuation
 
The Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). The inputs or methodology used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad categories as defined below:

 Level 1-
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.  An active market for a security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.
 
 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-
Significant unobservable inputs, including the Fund's own assumptions in determining fair value of investments
   
Equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 Debt securities including corporate, convertible, U.S. government agencies, U.S. treasury obligations, and sovereign issues are normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The service providers’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risk/spreads and default rates. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Short-term investments classified as money market instruments are valued at net asset value price. These investments are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Other financial derivative instruments, such as foreign currency contracts, options contracts, futures, or swap agreements, derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the derivative contracts can be estimated by the Adviser or a pricing service using model pricing tailored to the type of security held. The pricing models use various inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, implied volatility and exchange rates.
 
The liquidity of individual options is dynamic and changes as a function of the market environment for the underlying security. The Fund values exchange traded options at mean price. For currency and barrier options, valuation models are employed using available market data. These option positions are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
Credit Default Swaps (CDS) are valued using the ISDA Standard Upfront Model and available market data. These positions are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
The Fund makes investments in various types of volatility and variance swaps. The Adviser deems vanilla volatility and variance swaps as Level 2 positions and corridor variance swaps as Level 3 positions in the fair value hierarchy. The Adviser uses model pricing to calculate the fair volatility level for each corridor variance swap trade. The Adviser uses quotes from a pricing service and brokers to estimate implied volatility levels as an input to these models. A significant change in implied volatility could have a significant impact on the value of a position.
 
The Fund makes dispersion investments using volatility and variance swaps and options on dispersion. With the exception of dispersion trades, single stock volatility and variance swaps rarely trade. As a result, the Adviser deems these positions to be illiquid and classifies these positions as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Adviser uses model pricing to calculate the fair volatility level for each leg of the dispersion trade. The Adviser uses quotes from a pricing service and brokers to estimate implied volatility levels as an input to these models. A significant change in implied volatility could have a significant impact on the value of a position, and depending on the direction of the change, could either increase or decrease a position’s value.
 
The Fund makes cross-asset correlation investments using correlation and covariance swaps. The Adviser deems these positions to be illiquid and classifies these positions as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Adviser uses a third party calculation agent to value these positions. The local volatility model is used to calculate the fair correlation level for correlation swaps. Quotes from a pricing service are used to estimate the implied correlation levels as an input to these models. A significant change in implied volatility could have a significant impact on the value of a position, and depending on the direction of the change, could either increase or decrease a position’s value.

 The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments, including swap contracts, foreign currency contracts, and written options. Total return swap contracts, credit default swap contracts, other swap contracts, and foreign currency contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument, while written options are valued at fair value.
