* Fund commenced operations on May 26, 2016. The performance data quoted for periods prior to May 26, 2016 is that of the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund commenced operations on February 29, 2012. The Predecessor Fund was not a registered mutual fund and was not subject to the same investment and tax restrictions as the Fund.

The total cumulative returns are historical in nature and measure net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments assuming reinvestments of dividends. Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

The Barclays Aggregate Bond Index measures the performance of the U.S. investment grade bond market. The index invests in a wide spectrum of public, investment grade, taxable, fixed income securities in the United States - including government, corporate and international dollar denominated bonds as well as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, all with maturities of less than one year.

* Fund commenced operations on May 26, 2016. The performance data quoted for periods prior to May 26, 2016 is that of the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund commenced operations on February 29, 2012. The Predecessor Fund was not a registered mutual fund and was not subject to the same investment and tax restrictions as the Fund. If it had been, the Predecessor Fund’s performance might have been lower. Performance shown for periods of one year and greater are annualized.

Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of shares. The total cumulative returns are historical in nature and measure net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments assuming reinvestments of dividends. Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

The S&P 500® Index is a broad-based unmanaged index of 500 stocks, which is widely recognized as representative of the equity market in general.

The Predecessor Fund commenced operations on February 29, 2012. The Predecessor Fund was not a registered mutual fund and was not subject to the same investment and tax restrictions as the Fund.

The total cumulative returns are historical in nature and measure net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments assuming reinvestments of dividends. Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

The E-Valuator Very Conservative (0%-15%) RMS Fund (“Very Conservative”), The E-Valuator Conservative (15%-30%) RMS Fund (“Conservative”), The E-Valuator Conservative/Moderate (30%-50%) RMS Fund (“Conservative/Moderate”), The E-Valuator Moderate (50%-70%) RMS Fund (“Moderate”), The E-Valuator Growth (70%-85%) RMS Fund (“Growth”), and The E-Valuator Aggressive Growth (85%-99%) RMS Fund (“Aggressive Growth”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, “Funds”) are diversified series of the World Funds Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 9, 2007 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management company. The Funds commenced operations on May 26, 2016. Note that prior to March 27, 2017, R4 Class Shares and Service Class Shares were named Investor Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares, respectively.

The investment objectives of the Funds are as follows:

Fund

 

Objective

Very Conservative

to provide income and, as a secondary objective, stability of principal.

Conservative

to provide income but will at times seek growth and income within the stated asset allocation range.

Conservative/Moderate

Security Valuation

Each Fund’s securities are valued at fair values. Investments in securities traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price. For securities and ETFs traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sales are reported on a given date are valued at the last reported bid price. Debt securities are valued by appraising them at prices supplied by a pricing agent approved by the Trust, which prices may reflect broker-dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Short-term debt securities (less than 60 days to maturity) are valued at their fair value using amortized cost. Investments in investment companies and money market funds are valued at net asset value per share. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last available sale price in the over-the-counter market prior to time of valuation. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued on a consistent basis at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. Fair value pricing may be used, for example, when market prices are unavailable as well as under special circumstances, such as: (i) if the primary market for a portfolio security suspends or limits trading or price movements of the security; and (ii) when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded that is likely to have changed the value of the security. If a security is valued at “fair value,” such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price. Investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”). If values of foreign securities have been materially affected by events occurring after the close of a foreign market, foreign securities may be valued by another method that the Trustees believe reflects fair value. Generally, trading in corporate bonds, U.S. government securities and money market instruments is substantially completed each day at various times before the scheduled close of the New York Stock Exchange. The value of these securities used in computing the Funds’ NAV is determined as of such times. To the extent a Fund is invested in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, that are registered under the 1940 Act, the Fund’s NAV per share is calculated based upon the NAVs reported by such registered open-end investment companies, and the prospectuses for these companies explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. When using quoted prices or NAVs reported by underlying investment companies and when the market is considered to be active, securities will be classified as Level 1.

In accordance with GAAP, “fair value” is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. Various inputs are used in determining the value of a Fund’s investments. GAAP requires a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of September 30, 2020:

Security Transactions and Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is determined generally on a specific identification basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Long-term capital gain distributions from underlying funds are classified as realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized to interest income using the effective interest method.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents, if any, consist of overnight deposits with the custodian bank which earn interest at the current market rate. Disbursements made in excess of cash available have been recorded as Due to Custodian in the Statements of Assets & Liabilities, if applicable.

ANNUAL REPORT

 

THE E-Valuator FUNDS

Notes To Financial Statements - continuedSeptember 30, 2020

Accounting Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to their shareholders. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise tax provision is reported. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions to be taken in the Funds’ tax returns. The Funds have no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense as incurred. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities for tax years prior to the period ended September 30, 2017.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications, if any, have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. As of September 30, 2020, there were no such reclassifications.

Class Net Asset Values and Expenses

All income, expenses not attributable to a particular class, and realized and unrealized gains, are allocated to each class proportionately on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Each class bears different distribution expenses. Ratios are calculated by adjusting the expense and net investment income ratios for the Fund for the entire period for the

103

ANNUAL REPORT

 

THE E-Valuator FUNDS

Notes To Financial Statements - continuedSeptember 30, 2020

effect of expenses applicable for each class. Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each Fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis as determined by the Board.

Each Fund offers two classes of shares: R4 Class Shares and Service Class Shares (named Investor Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares, respectively, prior to March 27, 2017). Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets of the Funds, and the classes are identical except for differences in their ongoing distribution and service fees. Income, expenses (other than distribution and service fees, shareholder servicing and reports fees, state registration fees and transfer agent fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon its relative net assets. All classes have equal voting privileges, except where otherwise required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines that the matter to be voted on affects only the interests of the shareholders of a particular class.

NOTE 2 — INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, Systelligence, LLC (the “Adviser”) provides investment advisory services for an annual fee equal to 0.45% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Effective February 1, 2018, the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee with respect to each Fund from 0.45% to 0.38% until January 31, 2021.

The Adviser has entered into a written expense limitation agreement under which it has agreed to limit the total expenses of the Funds (exclusive of interest, distribution fees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 Plans, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business) to an annual rate of 0.80% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Each waiver and/or reimbursement of an expense by the Adviser is subject to repayment by the Fund within three years following the date that such waiver was made or such expense was incurred, provided that the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitation in place at the time of the waiver or reimbursement and at the time the waiver or reimbursement is recouped. The Adviser may not terminate these contractual arrangements prior to January 31, 2021. Effective October 1, 2019, the Adviser has elected to recoup such waivers, as applicable. During the year ended September 30, 2020, none of the waived expenses have been recouped by the Adviser.

The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for each Fund’s R4 Class Shares (the “12b-1 Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan, each Fund may finance from the assets of its R4 Class Shares certain activities or expenses that are intended primarily to result in the sale of shares of such class. Each Fund finances these distribution and service activities through payments made to the Funds’ principal underwriter (the “Distributor”). The fee paid to the Distributor by each class is computed on an annualized basis reflecting the average daily net assets of a class, up to a maximum of 0.25% for R4 Class Shares. Because these fees are paid out of a class’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost more than paying other types of sales charges.

The 12b-1 Plan, while primarily intended to compensate for shareholder services and expenses, was adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and it therefore may be used to pay for certain expenditures related to financing distribution related activities for each of the Funds.

Notes To Financial Statements - continuedSeptember 30, 2020

Each of the Funds has adopted a shareholder services plan (the “Plan”) with respect to its R4 Class and Service Class Shares. Under the Plan, each of the Funds may pay an authorized firm up to 0.25% on an annualized basis of average daily net assets attributable to its customers who are shareholders. For this fee, the authorized firms may provide a variety of services, including but not limited to: (i) arranging for bank wires; (ii) responding to inquiries from shareholders concerning their investment in the Funds; (iii) assisting shareholders in changing dividend options, account designations and addresses; (iv) providing information periodically to shareholders showing their position in Fund shares; (v) forwarding shareholder communications from the Funds such as proxies, shareholder reports, annual reports, and dividend distribution and tax notices to shareholders; (vi) processing purchase, exchange and redemption requests from shareholder and placing orders with the Funds or their service providers; (vii) providing sub-accounting with respect to shares beneficially owned by shareholders; and (viii) processing dividend payments from the Funds on behalf of shareholders.

NOTE 6 — RECENT MARKET EVENTS

In early 2020, an outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged globally. As a result, there have been mandates from federal, state and local authorities resulting in an overall decline in economic activity. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the financial performance of the Funds’ investments is not reasonably estimable at this time.

NOTE 7 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated all transactions and events subsequent to the date of the statements of assets and liabilities through the date on which these financial statements were issued and has noted no additional items require disclosure.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of The E-Valuator Very Conservative (0%-15%) RMS Fund, The E-Valuator Conservative (15%-30%) RMS Fund, The E-Valuator Conservative/Moderate (30%-50%) RMS Fund, The E-Valuator Moderate (50%-70%) RMS Fund, The E-Valuator Growth (70%-85%) RMS Fund and The E-Valuator Aggressive Growth (85%-99%) RMS Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of World Funds Trust, as of September 30, 2020, the related statements 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, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five periods 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 Funds as of September 30, 2020, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five periods 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 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 audits 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 September 30, 2020, 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2016.

ADVISORY AGREEMENT RENEWAL

At a meeting held on June 24, 2020 (the “June 24 Special Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the World Funds Trust (the “Trust”) began their consideration of the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Systelligence, LLC (“Systelligence”) on behalf of The E-Valuator Funds1. The Trustees noted that the Board had last approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement at a special meeting held on June 25, 2019 for a term of one year ending June 30, 2020. The Trustees considered that previously the Board had determined to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for shorter periods because, among other things, Systelligence’s responses to requests for information directed to it on behalf of the Trustees were not received in a timely manner. The Board also reflected on its on-going evaluation and discussions with respect to Systelligence’s efforts to enhance The E-Valuator Funds’ portfolio trading processes and the implementation of a new trade order management system, most recently at special meetings of the Board held on March 27, 2020 and March 31, 2020 and at the quarterly meeting held on May 28-29, 2020. The Trustees noted that, on their behalf, Trust counsel (“Counsel”) had sent a letter to Systelligence requesting information pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) in conjunction with the Board’s consideration of the Advisory Agreement at this June 24 Special Meeting and that Systelligence’s response to that request (“15c Response”) had been received.

1“The E-Valuator Funds” include: The E-Valuator Very Conservative (0%-15%) RMS Fund, The E-Valuator Conservative (15%-30%) RMS Fund, The E-Valuator Conservative/Moderate (30%-50%) RMS Fund, The E-Valuator Moderate (50%-70%) RMS Fund, The E-Valuator Growth (70%-85%) RMS Fund and The E-Valuator Aggressive Growth (85%-99%) RMS Fund.

ANNUAL REPORT

 

THE E-Valuator FUNDS

Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued

It was noted that the 1940 Act requires the approval of investment advisory agreements by a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”). Counsel reviewed with the Board a memorandum from Counsel, which had been previously provided to the Trustees and which summarized, among other things, the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees discussed the types of information and factors that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Systelligence; (ii) the investment performance of The E-Valuator Funds; (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by Systelligence from its relationship with The E-Valuator Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if The E-Valuator Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ investors; and (v) Systelligence’s practices regarding possible conflicts of interest.

Referring to the materials that had been provided to the Trustees in advance of the June 24 Special Meeting in connection with the approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees again reviewed the types of information and factors that the Board should consider in order to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the Advisory Agreement. In assessing these factors and reaching its decisions, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, as well as information specifically prepared and/or presented in connection with the approval process with respect to The E-Valuator Funds, including information regarding fee waiver and expense limitation arrangements, the manner in which the Funds were managed during the period, and the status of the conversion to a new trade order management system for Systelligence and custodian for the Funds. The Board requested and/or was provided with information and reports relevant to the approval of the Advisory Agreement, including: (i) reports regarding the services and support being provided to The E-Valuator Funds and their shareholders; (ii)  the investment performance of The E-Valuator Funds; (iii) information addressing the investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operations being utilized in managing The E-Valuator Funds; (iv) information on the process enhancements and improvements Systelligence has implemented to its portfolio trading processes and details on the results of any portfolio trading for The E-Valuator Funds’ conducted using the new processes; (v) disclosure information contained in the registration statement of the Trust with respect to The E-Valuator Funds and the Form ADV of Systelligence;

and (vi) the memorandum from Counsel that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving the Advisory Agreement, including, among other considerations, the material factors set forth above and the types of information included in each factor that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision.

The Board also requested and received various informational materials including, without limitation: (i) documents containing information about Systelligence, including financial information, a description of personnel and the services provided to The E-Valuator Funds, information on investment advice, performance, summaries of expenses for the Funds, its compliance program, current legal matters, and other general information; (ii) comparative expense and performance information for other mutual funds with strategies similar to The E-Valuator Funds; (iii) the anticipated effect of size on The E-Valuator Funds’ performance and expenses; and (iv) benefits realized by Systelligence from its relationship with the Trust and The E-Valuator Funds. In evaluating the costs and performance of The E-Valuator Funds, the Board relied heavily on the comparative peer group performance and expense information included in the Report to the Board of Trustees prepared by Broadridge using Morningstar data, although they also considered certain comparative information provided by Systelligence.

The Board discussed and reviewed in detail Systelligence’s 15c Response and the other information it had been provided regarding Systelligence and The E-Valuator Funds throughout the period. After extensive discussions and consultation with Counsel and the Independent Trustees’ separate independent legal counsel (K&L Gates), the Trustees determined that certain additional information was necessary in order for the Board to evaluate fully and determine whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement. The Board directed Counsel to request, on its behalf, that Systelligence clarify and supplement the information in its 15c Response regarding: (i) its management of The E-Valuator Funds during the current COVID-19 global pandemic; (ii) certain aspects of its trading processes; (iii) its marketing initiatives during the global pandemic; (iv) its processes to achieve best execution and manage cash balances; and (v) the performance of The E-Valuator Funds vis-à-vis the comparative data provided by an independent third-party. In addition, the Board directed Counsel to request a representative of Systelligence and Systelligence’s counsel attend a special meeting of the Board to be convened on June 30, 2020 to consider further the continuance of the Advisory Agreement in order to review and discuss this additional information and Systelligence’s 15c Response with the Trustees.

THE E-Valuator FUNDS

Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued

The Board reconvened on June 30, 2020 (the “June 30 Special Meeting”) to consider the continuation of the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed and discussed their deliberations conducted at the June 24 Special Meeting. The Trustees reviewed and discussed Systelligence’s response to the Board’s request for additional information (the “Supplemental 15c Response”) and its report on the effectiveness of The E-Valuator Funds’ portfolio trading processes. The Trustees also considered their discussions with the representative of Systelligence and Systelligence’s counsel during the June 30 Special Meeting.

Further discussion ensued regarding the information provided in the Initial 15c Response, the Supplemental 15c Response and the discussions held with the representative of Systelligence and Systelligence’s counsel. The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. In deciding whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:

(1)The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Systelligence.

In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities Systelligence has under the Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the services provided by Systelligence to The E-Valuator Funds including, without limitation: Systelligence’s procedures for formulating investment recommendations and assuring compliance with The E-Valuator Funds’ investment objectives and limitations, including its proprietary investment models; its coordination of services for The E-Valuator Funds among the Funds’ service providers, its efforts to promote The E-Valuator Funds, grow their assets, and assist in the distribution of the Funds’ shares; and its efforts to enhance its trading processes for The E-Valuator Funds and implement a new trade order management system. The Board considered that Systelligence had, in fact, implemented enhancements to the trading systems. The Board reflected on the fact that it had dedicated significant time and resources in overseeing the implementation of those enhancements and that in determining that the trading systems appeared adequate at this time it was giving significant weight to representations and reports made by representatives from Systelligence regarding the enhanced trading processes and how well they were working. The Board considered: Systelligence’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of Systelligence’s personnel; and Systelligence’s compliance program, policies, and procedures. The Board also took into consideration the efforts of Systelligence with respect to its management of The E-Valuator Funds

121

ANNUAL REPORT

 

THE E-Valuator FUNDS

Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued

during the global pandemic. The Board also considered and concluded that the services provided by Systelligence to The E-Valuator Funds were separate and distinct from services provided by the respective investment adviser(s) to the underlying funds in which the Funds invested. Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by Systelligence was adequate although it noted its desire to continue to receive regular reports regarding the implementation and performance of the enhanced trading processes.

(2)Investment performance of The E-Valuator Funds and Systelligence.

The Board noted that Systelligence does not have any clients other than The E-Valuator Funds and, as such, no performance as to separate accounts comparable to the Funds existed. The Trustees considered the performance of each of The E-Valuator Funds relative to its peer group of funds identified by Broadridge using Morningstar data (“Peer Group”) and its Morningstar category (each a “Category”). The Trustees generally considered information that was as of March 31, 2020, although they took into consideration other performance information that had been provided to them since the previous approvals of the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that, for the 1-year and 3-year periods ended March 31, 2020, each of The E-Valuator Funds trailed its Category and Peer Group median and its benchmark index, except that The E-Valuator Growth (70%-85%) RMS Fund outperformed its Peer Group median for the 3-year period. The Trustees noted that each of The E-Valuator Funds’ relatively high allocation to equity hurt the Funds’ performance and had an even more pronounced negative effect as a result of the COVID-19 market downturn in the first quarter of 2020. The Board also considered the inherent limitations of peer group comparisons for a fund-of-funds, such as each of The E-Valuator Funds, as reported by Systelligence. The Board also considered information and commentary from Systelligence with respect to performance as provided by and related to the Supplemental 15c Response. The Trustees considered that The E-Valuator Funds’ investment strategy is to remain invested at target asset allocation weights and not make defensive allocations to cash, but that certain other funds in the Funds’ comparison groups appear to have positioned themselves more defensively in response to the COVID-19 market downturn. Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that the investment performance information presented for The E-Valuator Funds was satisfactory.

(3)The costs of the services provided and profits realized by Systelligence from the relationship with The E-Valuator Funds.

In considering the costs of the services provided and profits realized by Systelligence and its affiliates from the relationship with The E-Valuator Funds, the Board considered Systelligence’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the financial condition of Systelligence and its affiliates and the level of commitment to The E-Valuator Funds by Systelligence and its principals; the current asset levels of The E-Valuator Funds; and the overall expenses of The E-Valuator Funds. The Trustees considered the management fee and total expenses of each of The E-Valuator Funds relative to its Peer Group and Category. The Trustees noted that the Peer Groups included funds that were largely funds of funds using affiliated funds as underlying vehicles and thus charge a lower management fee than The E-Valuator Funds and in some cases charge no management fee. They further noted that, while The E-Valuator Funds charge a relatively high, top-level management fee compared to such affiliated funds of funds, the Funds’ use of low-cost share classes and exchange-traded funds reduces costs to shareholders, which appeared to be beneficial compared to other funds of funds that may use active managers. The Board noted that the asset size of each of The E-Valuator Funds is significantly lower than its Peer Group’s median asset size. The Board considered that the net expenses of The E-Valuator Very Conservative (0%-15%) RMS Fund and The E-Valuator Conservative (15%-30%) RMS Fund were each higher than its Category and Peer Group medians but within the Peer Group range. The Trustees further considered that the net expenses and net advisory fee of The E-Valuator Conservative/Moderate (30%-50%) RMS Fund were each higher than its Category and Peer Group medians, but were within the range of its Peer Group. The Board further considered that the net expenses of The E-Valuator Moderate (50%-70%) RMS Fund were higher than the Category median and higher than the Peer Group median, but within the Peer Group range. The Trustees considered that the net expenses of The E-Valuator Growth (70%-85%) RMS Fund were lower than its Peer Group median and in line with the Category Median. The Board considered that the net expenses of The E-Valuator Aggressive Growth (85%-99%) RMS Fund were lower than both the Category and Peer Group medians and that its net advisory fee was within the Category range. In its consideration of the fees provided for under the Advisory Agreement, the Board noted that the services provided by Systelligence for The E-Valuator Funds were separate and distinct from the services that were provided by the investment adviser to the underlying funds in which The E-Valuator Funds invested. The Board noted that Systelligence indicated that it expects to be profitable across the complex of The E-Valuator Funds. In light of the relative fee comparisons, the Board

123

ANNUAL REPORT

 

THE E-Valuator FUNDS

Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued

considered other surrounding circumstances and factors, including the services provided by Systelligence and the performance of The E-Valuator Funds, and the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to Systelligence by The E-Valuator Funds were fair and reasonable at this time.

(4)The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as The E-Valuator Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of The E-Valuator Funds’ investors.

In this regard, the Board considered The E-Valuator Funds’ fee arrangements with Systelligence. The Trustees determined that although the management fee would stay the same as asset levels increased, the shareholders of The E-Valuator Funds would benefit from the current expense limitation arrangements for the Funds. The Board noted Systelligence’s indications that it would continue in the future to attempt to manage the expenses of The E-Valuator Funds so as to keep them competitive, and that Systelligence has contractually committed to maintain its current fee waiver and expense limitation arrangements until January 31, 2021. The Trustees also noted that The E-Valuator Funds would benefit from economies of scale under its agreements with some of its service providers other than Systelligence. Following further discussion of The E-Valuator Funds’ expected asset levels and growth of assets, and levels of fees, the Board determined that The E-Valuator Funds’ fee arrangements, in light of all the facts and circumstances, were fair and reasonable and that the expense limitation arrangements provided potential savings or protection for the benefit of The E-Valuator Funds’ shareholders.

(5)Possible conflicts of interest and benefits derived by Systelligence.

In considering Systelligence’s practices regarding conflicts of interest, the Board evaluated the potential for conflicts of interest and considered such matters as the experience and ability of the advisory and compliance personnel assigned to The E-Valuator Funds; the fact that Systelligence does not utilize soft dollars; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for The E-Valuator Funds; and the substance and administration of Systelligence’s code of ethics. The Board considered the relationship of Systelligence with its affiliates and the nature of those affiliates’ business, including how the affiliates are paid by plan sponsors who may purchase shares of The E-Valuator Funds. The Board considered the disclosure of any potential conflicts and the procedures in place to identify, and, where appropriate to mitigate, such conflicts. Based on the foregoing, the Board determined that Systelligence’s standards and practices relating to the identification and mitigation of possible conflicts of interest were satisfactory. Systelligence noted no expected benefits, other than receipt of advisory fees, or detriments to managing The E-Valuator Funds.

After additional consideration of the factors delineated in the memorandum previously provided by Counsel and other information deemed relevant by the Trustees, and further discussion among the Board, the Board determined that the compensation payable under the Advisory Agreement was fair, reasonable and within a range of what could have been negotiated at arms-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)

Fund Expenses Example

As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six months, April 1, 2020 and held for the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Actual Expenses Example

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, 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 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 second line of the table below also 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 funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the 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 contingent deferred sales charges on certain redemptions. Therefore, the hypothetical account values are 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.
