Letter to Shareholders

November 30, 2022

 

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

In the following paragraphs we will recap the key factors affecting broad markets and the Horizon Funds through the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022.

 

Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund

 

The Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) returned -9.63% for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022. Domestic equities (as measured by the S&P 500 Total Return Index) returned -9.21%, while international equities returned -13.05% (as measured by the S&P Global ex-US BMI ) over the Fund’s fiscal year.

 

The Federal Reserve’s new messaging on inflation kicked-off the year on a sour note as markets grappled with a hawkish policy pivot by the Fed. Following new all-time highs set during the thinly traded holidays, the early part of the year was characterized by a re-rating of risk in market sectors most sensitive to interest rates. Volatility seized markets in February as tensions boiled over in Eastern Europe, culminating in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The economic repercussions stemming from the sanction’s regime imposed on Russia further fueled pre-existing global inflationary dynamics. Monetary policy grew more hawkish in response, which prompted further a re-rating of interest rate sensitive sectors in addition to a recalibration lower of the near-term global economic growth path.

 

Within domestic equity markets, an amalgamation of high inflation, hawkish monetary policy, and increasing recession risk benefitted historically defensive sectors and large-cap value. International equities spent much of the year struggling against geopolitical risks, a strong dollar, and pessimism on global growth. The Fund maintained a preference for U.S. equities throughout the year and benefitted from exposure to the domestic energy sector, the Fund’s largest contributor to absolute and relative performance throughout the period. As the year went on, Fund positioning reflected growing conviction in favor of domestic value and small- and mid-cap stocks over domestic growth and international equities. The Fund maintained this positioning into the end of the period.

 

Outside of market direction, the key driver of Fund performance was U.S. equity positioning, especially allocations to domestic energy, value, and defensive stocks. Small- and mid-cap domestic stocks also contributed strongly to returns throughout the year. Key detractors include international market exposures, specifically broad emerging markets and regionally-focused holdings.

 

Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund

 

The Horizon Active Risk Assist Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) realized a return of -14.24% for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022. Domestic equities (as measured by the S&P 500 Total Return Index) returned -9.21%, while international equities returned -13.05% (as measured by the S&P Global ex-US BMI ) over the same period. The Fund exhibited an average beta of 0.49 to the S&P 500 Index over the period.

 

As a risk mitigation strategy designed with the goal to mitigate catastrophic loss of portfolio value, the Fund performed in line with expectations during the period. The Fund’s realized volatility for the period was 13.26%, much less than domestic and international equities (realized volatilities for the period of 24.11% and 18.04% respectively) driven by the tactical de-risking of the strategy. The Fund also realized a maximum drawdown of 20.84%, which was smaller than the 24.49% drawdown experienced by the S&P 500 and less than the 28.57% drawdown of the S&P Global ex-US BMI. In a volatile down period for global equities, the Fund had significant de-risking or re-risking activity via the Risk Assist algorithm, in line with our expectations. The Fund ended the fiscal year 60% de-risked after peaking at an 80% de-risked allocation near the end of the third quarter of 2022.

 

In terms of the underlying allocation of the equity portfolio, the Fund began the period with balanced domestic and international exposures relative to our longer term strategic views, with an overweight towards value stocks domestically. Volatility increased in February and March from the Russian-Ukraine war, prompting the Fund to

increase exposure towards domestic larger cap companies to buffer the volatility. As the drawdown deepened and Risk Assist engaged more meaningfully, the underlying equity allocation increased exposure towards beaten down growth stocks in order to position for improved up capture on a recovery. Due to the elevated volatility between value and growth exposures and the disappointing performance of growth stocks during equity rallies, the Fund ended the period with neutral allocations towards value and growth stocks and balanced domestic and international exposures relative to our longer-term strategic views.

 

While market direction was the main driver of returns during the period, the underlying allocation decisions and the actions of the Risk Assist algorithm played a role as well. In terms of performance of the underlying allocations, large-cap domestic value and dividend holdings contributed the most to the Fund’s return, while allocations to large-cap domestic growth stocks and emerging markets detracted the most from the Fund’s return over the fiscal year. The de-risking and re-risking activities of Risk Assist resulted in a performance drag versus the unhedged portfolio during the period, an expected result in a volatile, prolonged drawdown of the magnitude global equities experienced.

 

Horizon Active Income Fund

 

The Horizon Active Income Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) returned -14.04% for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, while the broader bond market, as measured by Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Index), returned -12.84%. Measures of Fund risk, including standard deviation, beta, and down capture, were lower than the Index during the period. In general, the Fund maintained a more defensive posture than the Index during the period as a result of the Fund’s tactical process and opportunistic allocations that expressed a more cautious view of fixed income risk.

 

The year was a volatile one for fixed income markets as the rushed transition away from easy Federal Reserve (Fed) policy drove broad-based selloffs and volatility across the fixed income universe. Early in the period, the Fed was forced to accelerate its pivot due to price pressures unleashed from the Russia-Ukraine War and intermittent COVID lockdowns out of China. As inflation increased throughout the spring and summer, expectations for the path of interest rates increased, fueling additional fixed income volatility. Numerous yield curve measures first inverted around the end of June, and these inversions deepened into year end. Credit spreads exhibited above-average volatility during the period, increasing throughout the period as restrictive monetary policy increased recession risk. Hybrid fixed income exposures, such as convertible bonds and preferred equities, generally struggled in this environment, although they did display some periods of notable strength.

 

The Fund’s actively managed approach resulted in a below benchmark duration profile held in varying degrees throughout the year. The Fund maintained an overweight allocation to corporate credit and opportunistically rotated through various credit quality segments and between fixed- and floating-rate instruments during the period. Exposure to non-traditional fixed income segments, including convertible bonds, preferred equities, and emerging market bonds, remained low throughout the year. At the end of the period, the Fund was positioned conservatively, including an overweight to U.S. government debt and a duration shorter than the Index, although the Fund did increase spread positioning through higher quality allocations to investment grade credit and mortgage-backed securities.

 

The key drivers of Fund performance include corporate credit allocations, especially floating rate instruments, in addition to coupon- and non-coupon-bearing short-tenor U.S. Treasuries. Allocations with greater interest rate risk, within both U.S. government and investment-grade corporate credit sectors, were the biggest detractors to performance over the period.

 

Horizon Defined Risk Fund

 

For the year ending November 30, 2022, the Defined Risk Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) had a total return of -3.67% and a standard deviation of 12.74%. Over the same period, the S&P 500 Total Return Index had a total return of -9.21% and a standard deviation of 24.11%. The Fund exhibited a 0.51 beta to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund had a maximum drawdown of 13.98% while the S&P 500 Index had a maximum drawdown of 24.49%.

The objective of the Fund is capital appreciation and capital preservation. The Fund pursues its objective by investing in a basket of U.S. large-cap equities that track the S&P 500 Index, while seeking to generate income, hedge volatility, and reduce downside risk by buying and selling put and call options. The Fund is expected to outperform the S&P 500 Index in a down market and underperform in an up market, while realizing less volatility in any market. As shown by the performance statistics above, the Fund performed in line with the expectations during the period.

 

The Fund allows for active positioning within its options collar structure. The goal of this active positioning is to generate income, hedge volatility and reduce downside risk. This active positioning had no material impact to the Fund’s performance over the fiscal year.

 

Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

 

The Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) returned -1.62% for the year ended November 30, 2022, while realizing a volatility of 21.30%. The return on the S&P 500 Total Return Index for the same period was -9.21%, with a realized volatility of 24.11%. Over the period, the Fund exhibited an average beta of 0.86 to the S&P 500 Index.

 

The Fund is actively managed, selecting and weighting securities using a proprietary quantitative approach to allocate the Fund’s portfolio between issuers, sectors, and/or factors (e.g. value, momentum, quality, and volatility). This process is designed to be defensive in nature in order to help the Fund navigate volatile market swings. The Fund is expected to outperform the S&P 500 Index in a down market and underperform in an up market, while realizing less volatility. As shown by the performance statistics above, the Fund performed in line with the expectations during the period.

 

Outside of overall market direction, the main driver of the performance of the Fund is stock selection. Key highlights in the period include selection in Consumer Discretionary and Financials. Selection in Industrials and Consumer Staples lagged in the period. The Fund’s overweight to Energy also played a role due to the large outperformance of this sector during the period.

 

Horizon ESG & Defensive Core Fund

 

The Horizon ESG & Defensive Core Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) returned -11.99% for the year ended November 30, 2022. The return of domestic equities (as measured by the MSCI USA Index) for the same period was -11.47%. The Fund exhibited an average beta of 0.72 to the MSCI USA Index over the period.

 

As a risk mitigation strategy designed with the goal to mitigate catastrophic loss of portfolio value, the Fund performed in line with expectations during the period. The Fund’s realized volatility for the period was 18.49%, much less than domestic equities (realized volatility for the period of 24.53%) driven by the tactical de-risking of the strategy. The Fund also realized a maximum drawdown of 20.62%, which was 3.76% lower than the 24.38% drawdown experienced by domestic equities. In a volatile down period for domestic equities, the Fund had significant de-risking or re-risking activity via the Risk Assist algorithm, in line with our expectations. The Fund ended the fiscal year 40% de-risked.

 

During the period, the Fund transitioned the management of its underlying equity portfolio from DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. as the Fund’s investment sub-adviser to a Horizon-managed index replication strategy. The index replication strategy seeks to track the performance of MSCI USA ESG Leaders Index (the Index), which uses MSCI ESG Ratings, MSCI ESG Controversies, and MSCI Business Involvement Screening Research, each of which is provided by MSCI ESG Research Inc., a subsidiary of MSCI, Inc. to determine the securities that comprise the Index. The change in the management of the underlying equity portfolio did not materially impact Fund performance during the period.

Horizon Active Dividend Fund

 

The Horizon Active Dividend Fund (Investor Class) (the Fund) posted a total return of 1.90% for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index, returned 4.98% over the same period.

 

Horizon’s Active Dividend Fund invests in companies that Horizon Investments believes are high quality and with well-supported dividend yields.; these stocks held up better than broad equity indices over the past twelve months as investors sought comfort in steady dividend streams in an increasingly uncertain global environment. The Fund’s overweight to the United States and underweight to Europe benefited performance relative to the benchmark during the period, as did the Fund’s overweight to the Energy sector.

 

Selection within the Energy sector contributed the most to performance versus the benchmark. Chevron, Devon Energy Exxon Mobil & Coterra Energy were the largest contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the period as underlying energy prices rose significantly, boosting Energy companies’ sales and profits. For the year ended November 30, 2022, crude oil prices increased more than 50%, natural gas prices nearly doubled, and the price of gasoline rose more than 140%. Selection in Industrials (Lockheed Martin) and Health Care (Eli Lilly) also contributed to performance.

 

An underweight allocation to Asia-related securities detracted from performance relative to the benchmark during the period, as did selection within the region as portfolio holdings Taiwan Semiconductor and Toyota Motor underperformed. Selection in the United States also detracted from relative performance with Home Depot and capital markets-focused Financials (Blackrock, T Rowe Price and Blackstone) having the largest impact. Home Depot experienced slowing growth in the past year as a slowdown in housing, broad inflation and poor sentiment weighed on consumers following extraordinary growth during the COVID-era lockdown period. Capital markets-focused Financials faced uncertain markets during the year with economic and monetary-policy risks and geopolitical tensions weighing on investor sentiment.

 

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

 

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged composite of 500 large capitalization companies. This index is widely used by professional investors as a performance benchmark for large-cap stocks. The S&P 500 Total Return Index is a version of the S&P 500 Index that includes reinvestment of regular cash dividends. The S&P Global ex-US BMI (Broad Market Index) comprises the S&P Developed BMI and S&P Emerging BMI, and is a comprehensive, rules-based index measuring stock market performance globally, excluding the U.S. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index tracks the U.S. fixed income markets. The index includes government securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and corporate securities to simulate the universe of bonds in the market. The S&P Global 100 Index measures the performance of 100 multi-national, blue-chip companies of major importance in the global equity markets, including 100 large-cap companies drawn from the S&P Global 1200 whose businesses are global in nature, a substantial portion of their operating income, assets, and employees deriving from multiple countries. The MSCI USA Index is a broad measure of the performance of the U.S. equity market, composed of over 600 constituents in the large- and mid-cap market segments. The MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index measures the performance of large- and mid-cap equities in Developed Markets that pay higher than average dividends while omitting lower quality stocks with questionable dividend-sustainability characteristics. The MSCI USA ESG Leaders Index is designed to measure the performance of the large and mid-cap segments of the U.S. market through investing in U.S. common stocks screened by the Index Provider with regard to certain ESG criteria. You cannot invest directly into an index.

Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the entire market or a benchmark. Beta is calculated by dividing the product of the covariance of the security’s returns and the benchmark’s returns by the product of the variance of the benchmark’s returns over a specified period.

 

Alpha is a measure of the excess return, after accounting for systematic risk as measured by beta, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the entire market or a stated benchmark. Alpha is calculated by comparing the security’s returns over a given period with the product of the security’s beta measure and the returns of the benchmark over that same period.

 

Realized volatility, as known as standard deviation, is a statistical measure of dispersion of returns for a given security or market index over a given period of time. This measure is typically calculated by determining the average deviation from the average price of a financial instrument in the given time period. The higher the realized volatility value, the riskier the security.

 

Maximum drawdown is a measure of downside risk for a security or portfolio. Maximum drawdown is calculated by measuring the largest observed loss, in terms of total return, of a security or portfolio from its highest value to its lowest during a given period.

 

Down capture is a measure of a security’s or portfolio’s performance in periods of negative returns for the overall market or benchmark. Typically computed monthly, it is defined as a ratio of portfolio return to benchmark return during periods when the benchmark return is negative.

 

Duration is a measure of risk for fixed income securities. It measures the sensitivity of the price of a fixed income instrument or portfolio of fixed income instruments to a change in interest rates. All else equal and for a given change in interest rates, a security or portfolio of securities with a larger duration will exhibit greater price changes than that with a smaller duration.

 

A call option is a contract that provides the buyer with the right, but not the obligation, to buy a security at a specified price on or before a specified date. A put option is a contract that provides the buyer with the right, but not the obligation, to sell a security at a specified price on or before a specified date.

 

With regard to the Risk Assist algorithm, a de-risking activity is a sale of a portion of the Fund’s equity portfolio and a purchase of a highly liquid short-term U.S. Treasury obligation, or other cash-like equivalents, with the goal to mitigate catastrophic loss of portfolio value. Similarly, a re-risking activity is a sale of a highly liquid short-term U.S. Treasury obligation, or other cash-like equivalents and a purchase of a portion of the Fund’s equity portfolio, with the goal to reduce the potential performance drag when compared with the fully-invested equity portfolio.

 

Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.

 

Horizon ESG & Defensive Core Fund: Many factors affect the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) Fund’s performance. The Fund’s share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions in response to economic, political, and financial developments. The direction and extent of those price changes will be affected by the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographical location of the securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund is not federally insured or guaranteed by any government agency. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. Investing primarily in investments that meet ESG criteria carries the risk that the Fund may forgo otherwise attractive investment opportunities or increase or decrease its exposure to certain types of companies and, therefore, may underperform funds that do not consider ESG factors.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. In addition to the costs, fees, and expenses involved in investing in ETFs, ETFs are subject to additional risks including the risks that the market price of the shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares. The Funds may invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater in emerging markets. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Funds in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Small and Medium capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large capitalization companies. Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) involve additional risks such as declines in the value of real estate and increased susceptibility to adverse economic or regulatory developments. The Funds may also use options, which have the risks of unlimited losses of the underlying holdings due to unanticipated market movements and failure to correctly predict the direction of securities’ prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. The investment in options is not suitable for all investors.

 

Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk. Please refer to the Portfolio of Investments in this report for a complete list of fund holdings.

 

Earnings growth is not a measure of the Fund’s future performance.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make 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 net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Funds value their investments and financial instruments at fair value as follows. In determining a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share, equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and exchange traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value using the last reported sales

 

101

 

 

Horizon Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

price. NASDAQ traded securities are valued using the NASDAQ official closing price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange. When market quotations received are from an active market, the securities will be classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If market quotations are not readily available, then securities are valued at fair value as determined by the Adviser, as the Funds’ valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5. Short-term debt instruments with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, intermediate and long-term bonds, convertible bonds, and other debt securities are generally valued on the basis of dealer supplied quotations or by a pricing system, as determined by the Adviser, as the Funds’ valuation designee. Where such prices are not available, valuations will be obtained from brokers who are market makers for such securities. However, in circumstances where the Adviser deems it appropriate to do so, the mean of the bid and asked prices for over-the-counter securities or the last available sale price for exchange-traded debt securities may be used. Where no last sale price for exchange traded debt securities is available, the mean of the bid and asked prices may be used. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are amortized to maturity, provided such valuations represent fair value. Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds, are valued at their reported NAVs. Purchased and written options are valued at the composite mean of the bid and the ask as of the closing of the applicable market, provided that in circumstances deemed appropriate by the Adviser options may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, as the Fund’s valuation designee.

 

Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which valuation cannot be provided, as described above, are valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to the Adviser’s fair valuation policies and procedures.

 

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Generally, these inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. For an option position, these inputs may include, among other things, the implied price volatility of the underlying investment, the current market value of the underlying investment, the time remaining until expiration of the option, the relationship of the strike price to the market price of the underlying investment, and general market conditions.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

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.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of registered investment company that is typically purchased and redeemed NAV in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units”, and bought and sold in secondary markets on a securities exchange, where its shares trade like common stock. An index-based ETF represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of

 

104

a particular domestic or foreign market index. Alternatively, ETFs may be actively managed in accordance with a particular investment strategy. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they hold, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile.

 

Option Transactions – Options are derivative financial instruments that give the buyer, in exchange for a premium payment, the right, but not the obligation, to either purchase from (call option) or sell to (put option) the writer a specified underlying instrument at a specified price on or before a specified date. The Funds enter into option contracts to meet the requirements of their trading activities. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.

 

When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the statement of assets and liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current fair value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call or put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As the writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an unfavorable change in price of the security underlying the written option.

 

A Fund may purchase put and call options. The Funds engage in options transactions on individual securities, ETFs, or indices to hedge against market declines or generate returns from falling asset prices. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such a favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.

The amount is limited to the derivative liability balance and, accordingly, does not include excess collateral pledged.

 

Due to the absence of a master netting agreement relating to the Funds’ participation in securities lending, no additional disclosures have been made on behalf of the Funds. Please reference Note 5 for collateral related to securities on loan.

 

Security Transactions and Investment Income – Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and expense is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Long-term capital gain distributions from investment companies if any, are recorded separately from dividend income. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method.

 

Investment in Other Investment Companies – To the extent that a Fund invests in other investment companies, shareholders may obtain a copy of the underlying investment companies’ financial statements on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s internet site at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of information on the SEC’s internet site may also be obtained, upon payment of a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following e-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov.

Horizon Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
November 30, 2022

 

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds in the Trust. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

 

Federal Income Taxes – It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.

 

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years or expected to be taken on the Funds’ 2021 tax returns. The Funds identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, North Carolina State and Delaware State; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

 

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.

 

Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions from investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, Horizon Defined Risk, Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, and Horizon ESG & Defensive Core Fund and quarterly for the Horizon Active Income Fund and Horizon Active Dividend Fund and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds will declare and pay net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

 

Shareholder Services Plan – The Board has adopted a shareholder serving plan (the “Plan”) for Investor Class Shares of the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, and the Horizon Active Income Fund. The Plan allows the Funds to use part of their assets for shareholder servicing expenses. The Shareholder Servicing Expenses for the Investor Class shares of the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, and Horizon Active Income Fund are currently 0.10% of average daily net assets. Payments under the Plan are made for the provision of support services to shareholders, including administrative or other shareholder support services such as responding to customer inquiries or assisting the Funds in establishing or maintaining shareholder accounts and records. The entities providing shareholder services may provide such services directly, or may arrange for such services to be provided by another entity that has a servicing relationship with one or more shareholders. However, payments under the Plan are an operating expense of each Fund that is not subject to the expense limitation provided by the Adviser. Payments under the Plan may vary and are determined by the respective Fund in its sole discretion, in amounts up to 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Investor Class shares of the Fund on an annualized basis.

 

Rule 12b-1 – The Trust, with respect to all Funds, has adopted a Distribution Plan for Advisor Class shares of each Fund, and also for Investor Class shares of the Horizon Active Dividend Fund, Horizon Defined Risk Fund, the Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund and the Horizon ESG & Defensive Core Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”). However, payments under the 12b-1 Plan are an operating expense of each Fund that is not subject to the expense limitation provided by the Adviser. The 12b-1 Plan provides for the payment of a distribution fee to Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) at an annualized rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the applicable classes. During the year ended November 30, 2022 the distribution fees

 

109

 

 

Horizon Funds

accrued for the Investor Class shares of the Horizon Active Dividend Fund, Horizon Defined Risk Fund, Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, Horizon ESG & Defensive Core Fund and for the Advisor Class shares of all Funds were 0.10% and 0.25% of average daily net assets, respectively. During the year ended November 30, 2022, the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, Horizon Active Income Fund, Horizon Active Dividend Fund, Horizon Defined Risk Fund, Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund and Horizon ESG & Defensive Core Fund Advisor Class shares incurred $7,900, $16,963, $8,205, $19,024, $38,359, $877, and $85,633, respectively, pursuant to the plan. During the year ended November 30, 2022, the Horizon Active Dividend Fund, Horizon Defined Risk Fund, Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund and Horizon ESG & Defensive Core Fund Investor Class shares incurred $109,857, $293,974, $124,873 and $132,759, respectively, pursuant to the plan. Investor Class shares of the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund and Horizon Active Income Fund and Institutional Class shares of all Funds do not pay any 12b-1 distribution fees.

 

Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

 

General Risk – The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Funds’ performance.

ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with each Fund (the “Advisory Agreements”), investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Horizon Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”).

Prior to October 1, 2022, the Adviser received a fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Horizon ESG & Defensive Core Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

Pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed, until December 31, 2023 for the Horizon Active Asset Allocation Fund, Horizon Active Risk Assist® Fund, Horizon Active Income Fund, Horizon Active Dividend Fund and Horizon Defined Risk Fund, Horizon U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, and the Horizon ESG & Defensive Core Fund, to waive a portion of the Fund’s advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse the Fund for other expenses to the extent that the aggregate expenses of every character, including but not limited to investment advisory fees of the Adviser (but excluding front-end or contingent sales loads; brokerage fees and commissions; acquired fund fees and expenses; borrowing costs, such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short; payments by the Fund, if any, under the Trust’s Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan; payments by the Fund, if any,

In every instance, the cost of the fees are to be allocated among the participating Funds in accordance with a formula that takes into account the overall asset size of each affected Fund. The Trust also reimburses the Trustees for travel and other expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board. Officers of the Trust and Trustees who are interested persons of the Trust do not receive any direct compensation from the Trust.

SECURITIES LENDING

 

The Funds may lend domestic securities in their portfolios to approved brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program effective December 20, 2017, which is administered by U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”). The net income to which the Funds are entitled may be used to offset against costs and other charges incurred by the Funds with the Custodian or its affiliates or, as directed in writing by the Funds, other service providers. Investment Advisory Fees, Shareholder Servicing Fees - Investor Class, Distribution Fees (12b-1) - Advisor Class and Distribution Fees (12b-1) - Investor Class as noted in the Statements of Operations are not eligible to be offset by securities lending income. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized in an amount equal to at least 102% at the outset of the loan and at least 100%, at all times thereafter, of the value of any loaned securities. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. Amounts earned from security lending is disclosed in each Fund’s Statement of Operations as a securities lending credit. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing year. Gain or loss on the fair value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand. During the year ended November 30, 2022, the Funds had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral is invested by the Custodian in accordance with approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines allow the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays, declines in the value of collateral provided, default on the part of the issuer or counterparty, or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The Funds could also experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Funds are indemnified from this risk by contract with the securities lending agent.

LINE OF CREDIT ARRANGEMENT

 

Throughout the year ended November 30, 2022, and renewed effective February 24, 2022, the Funds are party to an unsecured line of credit arrangement with the Custodian. The Loan Agreement has an expiration date of February 23, 2023, under which borrowing is limited to the lesser of 15% of the market value of a Fund, 33.33% of the market value of specific marketable securities of a Fund acceptable to the Custodian, or $75,000,000 for all the Funds subject to the line of credit. The Funds may utilize the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. The applicable Funds have authorized the Custodian to charge any of the Funds subject to the line of credit for any missed payments by the Funds. The Funds will be charged the prime rate, which was 7.00% as of November 30, 2022, if they borrow.

The Horizon Defined Risk Fund utilized capital loss carry forwards of $22,477,168 during the fiscal year.

 

Additionally, GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. These reclassifications were primarily due to the use of equalization and non-deductible excise tax paid. Each Fund may use earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. For the year ended November 30, 2022, the following table shows the reclassifications made:

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

 

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of that fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of November 30, 2022, the Funds had omnibus shareholder accounts (comprised of a group of individual shareholders), which amounted to more than 25% of the total shares outstanding of the respective Fund. Shareholders with a controlling interest could affect the outcome of proxy voting or direction of management of a Fund.

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 November 30, 2022, 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 2015.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

November 30, 2022

 

 

As a shareholder of the Funds you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, sales charges, and other Fund operating 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. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs.

 

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the period of time as indicated in the table below.

 

Actual Expenses: The column labeled “Actual” of the table 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 entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes: The column labeled “Hypothetical” of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 Funds 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 which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the second line of 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.

(b)Not applicable for this Registrant

 

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

 

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

 

Incorporated by reference to the Registrant’s Form N-CSR filed February 1, 2018.

 

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Todd Gaylord is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

 

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant, Cohen & Company, Ltd., to perform audit services, audit-related services, and tax services during the past fiscal year. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal year. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including review of the registrant’s tax returns and taxable income and excise calculations and year to date estimates for book-to-tax differences. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

 

  FYE 11/30/2022 FYE 11/30/2021
Audit Fees $108,500 $108,500
Audit-Related Fees $0 $0
Tax Fees $24,500 $24,500
All Other Fees $7,500 $7,500

 

The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company, Ltd. for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively, applicable to non-audit services pursuant to a waiver of the pre-approval requirement was as follows:

 

  FYE 11/30/2021 FYE 11/30/2021
Audit-Related Fees 0% 0%
Tax Fees 0% 0%
All Other Fees 0% 0%

 

 

 

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant. The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountants for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser or Service Affiliates (as defined below) for the last two years.

 

Non-Audit Related Fees FYE 11/30/2022 FYE 11/30/2021
Registrant $3,232.50 $3,600
Registrant’s Investment Adviser $0 $0

 

Because the registrant’s accountants have not rendered any non-audit services during the last two fiscal years to the registrant’s investment adviser, or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant (together with the registrant’s investment adviser, “Service Affiliates”) that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, the registrant’s board of directors has not considered whether the provision of such services to the registrant’s investment adviser or the Service Affiliates is compatible with maintaining the independence of the registrant’s accountant.

 

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

 

Not applicable to registrants who are not listed issuers (as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

 

Item 6. Investments.

 

(a)Schedule of Investments is included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this Form.

 

(b)Not Applicable.

 

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

 

Not applicable to open-end investment companies.

 

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

 

Not applicable to open-end investment companies.

 

Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

 

Not applicable to open-end investment companies.

 

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

The registrant has not adopted any procedure by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors.

 

 

 

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)The registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on an evaluation of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Form N-CSR, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in this Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by the filing date, including ensuring that information required to be disclosed in this Form N-CSR is accumulated and communicated to the registrant's management, including the registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b)There were no significant changes in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 12. Disclosure of Securities Lending Activities for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

 

Not applicable to open-end investment companies.

 

Item 13. Exhibits.

 

(a)(1) Any code of ethics or amendment thereto, that is the subject of the disclosure required by Item 2, to the extent that the registrant intends to satisfy Item 2 requirements through filing an exhibit. Incorporated by reference to the Registrant’s Form N-CSR filed February 1, 2018.

 

(2) A separate certification for each principal executive and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Filed herewith.

 

(3) Any written solicitation to purchase securities under Rule 23c-1 under the Act sent or given during the period covered by the report by or on behalf of the registrant to 10 or more persons. Not applicable to open-end investment companies.

 

(4) Change in the registrant’s independent public accountant. There was no change in the registrant’s independent public accountant for the period covered by this report.

 

(b)Certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Furnished herewith.
