ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Shareholder Letter
  March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

Discussion of the Fund:

 

The ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index (the “Fund”) is a “no-load” index fund with no commissions and no 12b-1 fee. The Fund’s ticker symbol is INDEX. The Fund’s portfolio holds approximately 500 of the largest publicly traded companies on Wall Street, as selected by Standard & Poor’s. This puts INDEX in the “Large Cap Blend” category.

 

The Fund seeks to track the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index. The S&P 500® Equal Weight Index uses the same 500 constituents as the S&P 500® Market Cap Index. The primary difference is that the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index rebalances its holdings periodically so that, over time, they remain substantially equal.* In our view, this even distribution of holdings leads to better diversification of the Fund’s portfolio and a broader exposure to the growth cycles of all 500 companies instead of overweighting the largest companies.

 

Discussion of Fund Performance:

 

During the 12 months ended March 31, 2023, INDEX returned -6.52% while the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index fell by 6.31%. The performance of the Fund relative to the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index showed tracking error due to our trading process, cash drag, our cash management process, expenses and trading costs of the Fund. Because the Fund equal weights its holdings over time, sharp price movements of individual holdings have the potential to materially affect the performance of the Fund. A historical chart of tracking error for INDEX is provided below.

 

HISTORICAL TRACKING ERROR FOR INDEX
  2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Q1
INDEX 18.79% -7.82% 28.98% 12.76% 29.11% -11.82% 3.09%
S&P 500® EQUAL WEIGHT INDEX 18.90% -7.64% 29.24% 12.83% 29.63% -11.45% 2.93%
TRACKING ERROR -0.11% -0.18% -0.26% -0.07% -0.52% -0.37% 0.16%

 

During the 12 months ended March 31, 2023, the S&P 500® Index (Market Cap) fell by 7.73%. As noted above, the Fund seeks to track the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index, which is not the same as the S&P 500® Index (Market Cap). The better performance of the Fund relative to the market capitalization version of the S&P 500® Index generally occurs when the largest 50 companies within the S&P 500® Index underperform the other 450 companies within the index. This is because the S&P 500® Market Cap Index overweight’s the top 50 companies within the index to approximately half of the index, whereas the Equal-Weight methodology seeks to hold all 500 companies equal over time. This data is provided for informational purposes only, and you should not regard the S&P 500® Index (Market Cap) as a benchmark for the Fund.

ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Shareholder Letter
  March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

During the first quarter of 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB) and Signature Bank (SBNY) were fair value priced to zero in the Fund’s portfolio because these two banks failed before Standard & Poor’s removed them from the underlying index. Exiting the fiscal year, if there are additional abrupt bankruptcies in the banking industry, or other industries, this could affect the performance of the portfolio negatively.

 

Because money supply is still at historically high levels (see chart on page 1), higher inflation than normal may continue to be a factor in 2023. Historically, the S&P 500® Index strategies have given investors the potential to keep up with inflation and grow their portfolios over time. We created INDEX to simplify investing for retail investors. With one simple purchase, you gain access to the potential growth of Americas’ 500 leading companies according to Standard & Poor’s.

 

Warm Regards,

 

Michael G. Willis

President, ONEFUND, LLC

The S&P 500® Equal Weight Index includes the same constituents as the capitalization weighted S&P 500®, but each company in the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index is allocated a fixed weight - or 0.2% of the index total at each quarterly rebalance.

ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Notes to Financial Statements
  March 31, 2023

 

1.ORGANIZATION

 

The ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index (formerly known as the Index Funds S&P 500® Equal Weight) (the “Fund”) is a separate series of ONEFUND Trust (formerly known as Index Funds), an open-end management investment company that was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 9, 2005 (the “Trust”). The Fund currently offers one class of shares: No Load Shares. The Fund is diversified, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

 

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of assets whose performance, before fees and expenses, is expected to match approximately the performance of the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index (the “Index”). The Fund expects that its portfolio will consist primarily of securities of issuers included in the Index. The Index is designed to measure the performance of approximately 500 U.S. issuers chosen for market size, liquidity and industry grouping, among other factors.

 

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America (“GAAP”). The 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.”

 

Use of Estimates — 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Transactions — Investment security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis.

 

Investment Income — Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis.

 

Investment Valuation — The Fund’s portfolio securities are valued as of the close of trading of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). Each security, excluding short-term investments, is valued at the last sale price reported by the principal security exchange on which the issue is traded. Money market funds, representing short-term investments, are valued at their daily net asset value. Securities that are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price or if no sale is reported, the mean between the bid and the ask. Securities which are traded over-the-counter are valued at the last sale price or, if no sale, at the mean between the bid and the ask. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Valuation Designee appointed by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), in accordance with procedures approved by the Board. The fair value of a security is the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon a current sale. The fair value of a security may differ from the last quoted price and the Fund may not be able to sell a security at the fair value. Market quotations may not be available, for example, if trading in particular securities was halted during the day and not resumed prior to the close of trading on the NYSE. As of March 31, 2023, there were no securities that were internally fair valued.

 

Fair Value Measurements — A three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, the Fund discloses fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

Level 2 — Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

Level 3 — Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

Annual Report   |  March 31, 2023 17

 

 

ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Notes to Financial Statements
  March 31, 2023

 

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.

 

An investment level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2023:

 

Investments in Securities at Value  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Assets                    
Common Stocks*  $101,330,484   $   $   $101,330,484 
Exchange-Traded Funds   116,676            116,676 
TOTAL  $101,447,160   $   $   $101,447,160 
                     
*See Schedule of Investments for sector classifications.

 

The Fund did not hold any investments at the end of the reporting period for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Idle cash may be swept into various interest bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as a cash equivalent on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.

 

Expenses — The Fund bears expenses incurred specifically for the Fund and general Trust expenses.

 

Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Fees on Redemptions — The Fund charges a redemption fee of 0.25% on redemptions of Fund’s shares occurring within 30 days following the issuance of such shares. The redemption fee is not a fee to finance sales or sales promotion expenses but is paid to the Fund to defray the costs of liquidating an investor and discourage short-term trading of the Fund’s shares. No redemption fee will be imposed on the redemption of shares representing dividends or capital gains distributions, or on amounts representing capital appreciation of shares.

 

Federal Income Taxes — As of and during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes. Therefore, no provision is made by the Fund for federal income or excise taxes. The Fund intends to continue to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable or tax-exempt income, if any, for its tax year ended March 31, 2023. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund will not be subject to a federal excise tax. Interest or penalties, if any, will be recorded in the Statement of Operations when incurred.

 

3.ADVISORY FEES, ADMINISTRATION FEES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

 

Investment Advisory Agreement — ONEFUND, LLC (the “Adviser”) currently provides investment advisory services for individuals, trusts, estates and institutions. The Adviser commenced operations in 2004 and is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Adviser is entitled to an investment advisory fee, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Mike Willis, an officer of the Trust is also an officer of the Adviser.

 

The Adviser has agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver/expense reimbursement (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for No Load Shares. The Adviser intends to reimburse fund expenses no less frequently than on a quarterly basis,

ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Notes to Financial Statements
  March 31, 2023

 

but there have been and there may continue to be instances where the Adviser reimburses fund expenses on a less frequent basis. This agreement is in effect through July 31, 2023, and may not be terminated or modified by the Adviser prior to this date except with the approval of the Fund’s Board. Amounts previously waived or reimbursed by the Adviser under this agreement are not subject to subsequent recapture by the Adviser.

 

Fund Accounting and Administration Fees and Expenses — Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus” or the “Administrator”) provides administrative, fund accounting and other services to the Fund under a Master Services Agreement with the Trust (the “Master Services Agreement”). Under the Master Services Agreement, Ultimus is paid fees for its services and is reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Administrator fees paid by the Fund for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.

 

Transfer Agent and Shareholder Services Agreement — Ultimus serves as transfer, dividend paying and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund (the “Transfer Agent”) under the Master Services Agreement. Transfer Agent fees paid by the Fund for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.

 

Compliance Services — Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”), an affiliate of Ultimus, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives fees from the Fund, which are approved annually by the Board. Prior to November 9, 2022, Ultimus provided Chief Compliance Officer services to the Fund.

 

Distributor — The Fund has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) to provide distribution services to the Fund. The Distributor serves as underwriter/distributor of shares of the Fund. Distribution services fees are paid by the Adviser pursuant to the terms set forth in the Distribution Agreement.

 

4.PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

 

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, are shown below for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

 

   Cost of Investments   Proceeds from 
   Purchased   Investments Sold 
ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index  $47,905,129   $40,489,541 

 

5.TAX BASIS INFORMATION

 

Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP, and, therefore, may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The amounts and characteristics of tax basis distributions and composition of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) are finalized at fiscal year-end.

 

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, were as follows:

 

       Long-Term 
   Ordinary Income   Capital Gains 
ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index  $2,323,947   $777,547 

 

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, were as follows:

 

       Long-Term 
   Ordinary Income   Capital Gains 
ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index  $1,761,805   $61,661

ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index  $22,896,737   $(4,066,839)  $18,829,898   $82,617,262 

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis is primarily attributable to wash sales.

 

At March 31, 2023, components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

 

   ONEFUND S&P 500® 
   Equal Weight Index 
Accumulated ordinary income  $823,963 
Accumulated capital and other losses   (1,154,047)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments   18,829,899 
Total  $18,499,815 

 

Capital Losses — As of March 31, 2023, the Fund had short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards of $466,593 and $687,454, respectively. These capital loss carryforwards may reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus may reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax pursuant to the Code. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforwards.

 

6.BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

 

As of March 31, 2023, the following entities owned beneficially 25% or greater of the Fund’s outstanding shares. The shares are held under omnibus accounts (whereby the transactions of two or more shareholders are combined and carried in the name of the origination broker rather than designated separately).

 

ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index  Percentage
Charles Schwab & Co.  42%
TD Ameritrade, Inc.  29%

 

7.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust entered into contracts with its service providers, on behalf of the Fund, and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. The Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

8.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management of the Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date at which these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, management has determined there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

Board of Trustees of ONEFUND Trust

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of ONEFUND Trust (formerly known as Index Funds) (the “Trust”) comprising ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index (formerly known as Index Funds S&P 500® Equal Weight) (the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s 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 Fund 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.

 

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 March 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 auditor of one or more investment companies within the Trust since 2006.

ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Disclosure Regarding Approval of
  Advisory Agreement
  March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on March 31, 2023, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered whether to approve the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between ONEFUND, LLC (the “Adviser”) and ONEFUND Trust (formerly known as Index Funds) (the “Trust”), on behalf of the ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index (formerly known as Index Funds S&P 500® Equal Weight)(the “Fund”).

 

In considering the approval of the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees were advised by legal counsel and received materials from such counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In advance of the meeting, the Independent Trustees requested, received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Adviser related to the Adviser and the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees met with and asked questions of representatives of the Adviser and also discussed the Investment Advisory Agreement with legal counsel.

 

In considering the approval of the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those described below. The determinations made with respect to the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement were based on each Trustee’s business judgment after consideration of all information presented to the Board. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single item that was paramount or controlling and individual Trustees may have attributed different weights to various factors. The Board considered all information available to them. The summary set forth below highlights a number of the key factors considered by the Board.

 

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Board examined the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund. The Board reviewed the information presented in the Adviser’s memorandum, including a copy of the Adviser’s current Form ADV and information regarding the Adviser’s organizational structure and the personnel who service the Fund. The Board considered the responsibilities of the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered that the Trust’s President, Treasurer and Secretary is an employee of the Adviser and serves the Trust without additional compensation. The Board also evaluated the investment management experience of the Adviser.

 

The Board discussed the nature of the Adviser’s operations, the quality of the Adviser’s compliance infrastructure, and the experience and background of all key personnel on its management team, including the portfolio management team. The Board considered the Adviser’s capabilities and concluded that the Adviser has sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods, and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality, and extent of the management services provided by the Adviser to the Trust are satisfactory and adequate.

 

Performance. The Board compared the performance of the Fund with the performance of its benchmark index and the Fund’s limited peer group based on data presented by the Adviser. The Board noted that the Fund had outperformed its peer group since its inception (April 30, 2015) and that the Fund had underperformed its benchmark index during the same period. Following discussion of the investment performance of the Fund, the Adviser’s experience in managing the Fund and the impact of other factors, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Fund has been satisfactory.

 

Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the advisory fee and the total expenses paid by the Fund. The Board reviewed a report provided by the Adviser showing the advisory fees and net expense ratios of a group of funds that the Adviser deemed comparable to the Fund. The Board evaluated the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio in light of the comparative information with respect to fees paid by similar funds, noting that the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were below the average advisory fee and average net expense ratio paid by similar funds. The Board noted that the Adviser committed to renew the expense limitation agreement for the Fund and keep the Fund’s expense ratio at 0.25% of its average daily net assets. Based on these considerations and other factors, the Board concluded that the advisory fee charged by the Adviser was fair and reasonable for the services provided under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

Profitability. The Board considered the Adviser’s estimated profitability for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 attributable to its management of the Fund, and considered information pertaining to the Adviser’s financial condition and commitment to the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser had not accrued a profit since the Fund commenced operations in 2015 and that the Adviser did not expect to accrue a profit in 2023. The Board considered the Adviser’s ability to meet its obligations under the expense limitation agreement, as well as the Adviser’s liquidity, capital resources and proposed financings. The Board concluded that based on the services provided and the projected asset growth of the Fund, the profits from the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund were not excessive and not unreasonable to the Fund.

 

Economies of Scale. The Board considered that the Adviser has not realized economies of scale with respect to its management of the Fund and that the Adviser will not begin to realize economies of scale until the Fund achieves significant growth in assets. The Board will continue to consider whether economies of scale exist in the future as Fund assets grow.

 

Fall-out Benefits. The Board noted that the Adviser has not received any material fallout benefits from its relationship with the Fund at this stage.

 

Conclusion. Based on their consideration of all materials and information presented to them, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded (without any single factor being identified as determinative) that: the quality of services provided by the Adviser is acceptable; the investment performance of the Fund has been satisfactory; the profit, if any, to be realized by the Adviser in connection with its management of the Fund was not unreasonable to the Fund; any economies of scale or other incidental benefits accruing to the Adviser were not material; the fees and expenses associated with the Fund are reasonable; and the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Summary of Fund Expenses
  March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index (the “Fund”), you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2022 and held until March 31, 2023.

 

Actual Expenses. The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second line of 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs only and do not reflect transaction fees, such as redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and may 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.

 

   Beginning  Ending  Expenses  Annualized
   Account Value  Account Value  Paid During  Expense
ONEFUND S&P 500® Equal Weight Index  October 1, 2022  March 31, 2023  Period(a)  Ratio
Actual  $1,000.00  $1,148.10  $1.34  0.25%
Hypothetical(b)  $1,000.00  $1,023.69  $1.26  0.25%

 

(a)Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 

(b)Hypothetical assumes 5% annual return before expenses.
