Shareholder Letter June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

Dear Shareholder,

Thank you for investing in the Cognios Large Cap Growth Fund (“the Growth Fund”) and/or the Cognios Large Cap Value Fund (“the Value Fund”) and for taking the time to review the Annual Report for the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017. We appreciate this opportunity to offer insight into the funds’ investment strategies and to offer commentary on performance and evolving global market conditions.

Market Commentary

Total Return Performance
October 3, 2016 (Inception) – June 30, 2017
S&P 500	Russell 1000	Russell 1000 Growth	Russell 1000 Value
13.88%	13.82%	15.44%	12.07%

As the table indicates, returns for large capitalization indices have been robust over the past nine months, especially for growth oriented companies. On a year-to-date(“YTD”) basis (January 2017- June 30, 2017), there has been a meaningful return divergence between the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index as of June 30, 2017, as the Russell 1000 Growth Index has gained 14.0% YTD on total return basis while the Russell 1000 Value Index has only gained 4.66% YTD.

The elevated returns in the equity markets may be disguising troubles that could surface in the future. We are concerned about the elevated implied valuation multiples for the S&P 500 index at current levels. On nearly every valuation metric, whether it be price to trailing earnings¹, price to forward earnings², price to revenues³, etc., the implied valuation multiple for the S&P 500 is above its historical average. The only valuation metrics that are below historical norms are those that compare equities to Treasuries; For example, the spread of the dividend yield of the S&P 500 to the yield on the ten year Treasury bond is wider than the historical average which generally indicates a fairly priced market, but this is likely the result of unprecedented intervention by the Federal Reserve in the Treasury market rather than an indication that the market is fairly valued.

The macroeconomic view that we developed here at Cognios Capital, LLC (“Cognios” or the “Adviser”) is based on what we consider to be a straightforward model of market behavior over time. This model is based on the belief that corporate profits, market multiples, and interest rates drive stock price returns over very long periods of time. In the post-recession period of 2009-2012, all three of those factors were favorably disposed to provide above average market returns to investors throughout that period to the present time. Corporate profits were growing rapidly from recession lows, market multiples were inexpensive and interest rates were low, and actually still declining at that time. Now, market multiples are elevated, interest rates are rising and it is not yet clear if corporate profits will start growing again following a period of stagnation. Now, market valuations and interest rates are probably working against investors, while corporate profits are, at best, neutral given that rising interest rates are likely to hurt corporate profits.

This is not to say that a market correction or crash will occur in the near future. John Maynard Keynes famously said, “Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” However, should an adverse market event occur, we believe both our growth and value strategies are well positioned to mitigate volatility relative to their respective benchmarks.

The Value Fund

The Value Fund invests in high quality companies that trade at attractive valuations relative to the broader market. We utilize our proprietary ROTA/ROME^® investment selection and portfolio construction methodology. ROTA/ROME^® focuses on a company’s Return on Tangible Assets (“ROTA”) and Return on Market Value of Equity (“ROME”) in order to identify companies whose per share intrinsic value has diverged significantly from the current market price of its stock. We believe that companies that exhibit sustainable long-term high ROTA are higher quality companies that most likely have a competitive advantage within the marketplace. ROME is a measure of profit yield, and like a yield on a bond, the higher the ROME, the more likely that shares in the company can be purchased at a better valuation compared to a company with a lower ROME.

During the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017, the total return for the Institutional Class Shares (COGVX) was 8.09% and the total return for the Investor Class Shares (COGLX) was 7.92%. Over the course of the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017, the Value Fund maintained investment positions in one hundred sixteen positions. Of those investment positions, seventy-six were profitable for a .655 batting average. The tables below display the sector contribution to gross profit as well as the top five positions that contributed to gross profit:

The Growth Fund

The Growth Fund invests in companies that have accelerating revenue and earnings growth by combining proven quantitative and traditional investment practices into a rigorous framework that allows for highly systematic and adaptable alpha⁴ capture. Our investment process is focused on building a robust and tempered investment portfolio that may be comprised of traditional growth stocks or stocks that fall outside of the classic growth stock classification but are currently exhibiting growth characteristics. This allows us the flexibility to navigate all market environments, regardless of whether or not a particular style is in favor.

During the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017, the total return for the Institutional Class Shares (COGEX) was 12.14% and the total return for the Investor Class Shares (COGGX) was 11.98%.

The investment process utilized in the Growth Fund has two main components: a quantitative foundation coupled with a discretionary overlay. The quantitative process is driven by two proprietary scores, a fundamental score that measures growth in company fundamentals and a technical score that measures price momentum. Since inception of the Growth Fund, the market has not sufficiently rewarded companies that score well using these two factors. These factors are cyclical in nature which is why the Growth Fund’s investment process is complemented with a discretionary layer which can guide the strategy in markets that are not rewarding our proprietary fundamental and technical factors. When the quantitative factors are out of favor, we generally expect the Growth Fund’s performance to look more similar to the benchmark; whereas, in times that our factors are in favor by the market we generally expect to see the Growth Fund’s performance deviate from that of the benchmark. Despite the recent headwinds faced by the Growth Fund, performance is in line with expectations in the current market environment and we look forward to our quantitative factors coming back into favor by the market.

Since the Growth Fund’s inception, the Growth Fund maintained an active exposure to Information Technology which had the largest contribution to the Growth Fund’s performance over the period, as seen in the table below. This is consistent with our view of a well-built portfolio – the largest active weights contributing more meaningfully to a fund’s performance than sectors or positions with less active, or no active, weight.

Performance (as of June 30, 2017)

Cognios Large Cap Value Fund Investor Class shares	7.92%
Cognios Large Cap Value Fund Institutional Class shares	8.09%
S&P 500® Total Return Index(b)	13.88%
Russell 1000® Value Total Return Index(c)	12.07%

^(a) The Cognios Large Cap Value Fund (the “Value Fund”) commenced operations on October 3, 2016. Aggregate total return, not annualized.

^(b) The S&P 500^® Total Return Index is a broad unmanaged index of 500 stocks, which is widely recognized as representative of the equity market in general. Please note that indices do not take into account any fees and expenses of investing in the individual securities that they track and individuals cannot invest directly in any index.

^(c) The Russell 1000^® Value Total Return Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Please note that indices do not take into account any fees and expenses of investing in the individual securities that they track and individuals cannot invest directly in any index.

The performance information quoted in this annual report assumes the reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, if any, and represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and, therefore, an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Updated performance data current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling 888-553-4233.

As with any fund, save an index fund, that commonly compares its performance to the S&P 500^® Total Return Index and the Russell 1000^® Value Total Return Index, such a comparison may be said to be inappropriate because of the dissimilarity between the Fund’s investments and the securities comprising the indices; so too with the Cognios Large Cap Value Fund, which will generally not invest in all the securities comprising each index.

Total Fund operating expense ratios as stated in the current Fund prospectus dated October 3, 2016 for the Funds were as follows:

Cognios Large Cap Value Fund Investor Class Shares, gross of fee waivers or expense reimbursements	1.36%

Cognios Funds

Disclosure of Fund Expenses June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The example below 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 period and held for the entire period as indicated below.

Actual Expenses – The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses (relating to the example $1,000 investment made at the beginning of the period). You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are 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 Funds to 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 exchange fees. Therefore, the second section 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. For more information on transactional costs, please refer to the Funds’ prospectus.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Cognios Large Cap Value Fund (the “Value Fund”) and the Cognios Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”), (collectively, the “Funds”) are each a series of M3Sixty Funds Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust was organized on May 29, 2015 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Each Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Funds are non-diversified Funds. As non-diversified Funds, they may invest a significant portion of their assets in a small number of companies. The Funds’ investment adviser is Cognios Capital, LLC (the “Adviser”).

The Funds each have two classes of shares, Investor Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares. Each Fund’s Investor Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares commenced operations on October 3, 2016. Prior to that date, the only activity was the receipt of $100,000 on September 23, 2016 from principals of the Adviser as follows:

Value Fund:	Shares		Amount
Investor Class Shares		500	$	5,000
Institutional Class Shares		4,500		45,000
Growth Fund:	Shares		Amount
Investor Class Shares		500	$	5,000
Institutional Class Shares		4,500		45,000

Income and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of each Fund on the basis of the net asset value of each class in relation to the net asset value of its Fund.

The Funds accepted securities at fair value, pursuant to the Funds’ valuation procedures, from certain clients of the Adviser on October 3, 2016 and November 30, 2016 in exchange for the Funds’ shares, which were deemed to be tax-free transactions. For book purposes, the cost basis recorded was equal to the securities’ fair value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The net assets contributed and shares issued from the tax-free transactions were as follows:

Fund	Date of Contribution	Net Assets		Share Issued
Value Fund	November 30, 2016	$	37,397,104		3,655,631
Growth Fund	October 3, 2016		1,485,622		148,562

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds are investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.

a)         Security Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in note 2.

28 www.cogniosfunds.com

Cognios Funds

Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2017

b)         Non-Diversified Funds – The Funds are non-diversified Funds. Non-diversified Funds may or may not have a diversified portfolio of investments at any given time, and may have large amounts of assets invested in a very small number of companies, industries or securities. Such lack of diversification substantially increases market risks and the risk of loss associated with an investment in the Funds, because the value of each security will have a greater impact on the Funds’ performance and the value of each shareholder’s investment. When the value of a security in a non-diversified fund falls, it may have a greater impact on the Funds than it would have in a diversified fund.

c)         Federal Income Taxes – The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Funds recognize tax benefits of certain tax positions only where the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained assuming examination of tax authorities.

Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that as of and during the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statements of operations. During the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Delaware state.

d)         Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash is held with a financial institution. The assets of the Funds may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks and such deposits generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The FDIC insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 for each account holder. The counterparty is generally a single bank rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The Funds place deposits only with those counterparties which are believed to be creditworthy.

e)         Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. GAAP requires that permanent financial reporting differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid-in capital or net realized gains. There were no reclassifications made during the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017.

f)          Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust may be allocated equally across the funds, or to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or another basis (as determined by the Board), whichever method is deemed appropriate as stated in the Trust’s expense allocation policy. Expenses incurred specific to a particular fund are allocated entirely to that fund.

g)         Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2017

h)         Other – Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an 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.

2. INVESTMENT VALUATIONS

Processes and Structure

The Funds’ Board of Trustees has adopted guidelines for valuing investments and other derivative instruments including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated authority to the Adviser to apply those guidelines in determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.

Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs

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

● Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or 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. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

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

Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2017

Fair Value Measurements

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

Equity securities (common stock) – Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and that are categorized in Level 2. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized in Level 2.

Money market funds – Money market funds are valued at their net asset value of $1.00 per share and are categorized as Level 1.

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2017:

Categories (a)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Value Fund:
Common Stock (b)	$	39,850,335		—		—	$	39,850,335
Total Investments	$	39,850,335		—		—	$	39,850,335
Growth Fund:
Common Stock (b)	$	4,763,837		—		—	$	4,763,837
Total Investments	$	4,763,837		—		—	$	4,763,837

^(a) As of and during the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017, the Funds held no securities that were considered to be “Level 3” securities (those valued using significant unobservable inputs). Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value is not applicable.

^(b) All common stock held in the Funds are Level 1 securities. For a detailed break-out of common stock by industry, please refer to the Schedules of Investments.

The Funds recognize transfers, if any, between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no transfers between levels during the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017.

5. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Funds have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the operations of the Funds and manages the Funds’ investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Funds. As compensation for the investment advisory services provided to the Funds, the Adviser receives a monthly management fee equal to an annual rate of each Fund’s net assets as follows:

Fund	Management Fee Rate			Management Fees Accrued
Value Fund		0.65	%	$	148,991
Growth Fund		0.70	%		19,042

The Adviser and the Funds have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement (“Expense Agreements”) under which the Adviser has agreed to waive or reduce its fees and to assume other expenses of each Fund, if necessary, in an amount that limits annual operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, acquired fund fees and expenses, shareholder servicing fees, extraordinary expenses, dividend and interest expenses in connection with securities sold short and payments, if any, under the Rule 12b-1 Plan) to not more than the following average daily net assets of each of the Funds through October 31, 2018:

Fund	Expense Limitation			Management Fees Waived		Expenses Reimbursed
Value Fund		0.85	%	$	97,135	$	—
Growth Fund		0.90	%		19,042		42,820

The current contractual agreement cannot be terminated prior to at least one year after the effective date of the Registration Statement without the Board of Trustees’ approval.

If, at any time, the annualized expenses of Funds are less than the annualized expense limitation ratios, the Funds would reimburse the Adviser for any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed; provided, however, that repayment would be payable only to the extent that it (a) can be made during the three (3) years following the time at which the adviser waived fees or assumed expenses for the Funds, and (b) can be repaid without causing the expenses of Funds to exceed the annualized expense limitation ratios.

At June 30, 2017, the cumulative unreimbursed amounts paid and/or waived by the Adviser on behalf of the Funds that may be recouped no later than the dates stated below are as follows:

Fund	June 30, 2020		Totals
Value Fund	$	97,135	$	97,135
Growth Fund		61,862		61,862

Annual Report  |  June 30, 2017 33

Cognios Funds

Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2017

The Funds have entered into an Investment Company Services Agreement (“Services Agreement”) with M3Sixty Administration, LLC (“M3Sixty”). Under the Services Agreement, M3Sixty is responsible for a wide variety of functions, including but not limited to: (a) Fund accounting services; (b) financial statement preparation; (c) valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments; (d) pricing the Funds’ shares; (e) assistance in preparing tax returns; (f) preparation and filing of required regulatory reports; (g) communications with shareholders; (h) coordination of Board and shareholder meetings; (i) monitoring the Funds’ legal compliance; (j) maintaining shareholder account records; and, (k) Chief Compliance Officer services.

For the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017, the Funds accrued fees pursuant to the Services Agreement as follows:

Fund	Services Agreement Fees Accrued
Value Fund	$	70,830
Growth Fund		17,088

Certain officers and an Interested Trustee of the Funds are also employees or officers of M3Sixty.

The Funds have entered into a Distribution Agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Distributor will provide distribution services to the Funds. The Distributor serves as underwriter/distributor of the Funds.

The Funds have adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for its Investor Class shares. Under the Plan, the Funds may use 12b-1 fees to compensate broker-dealers (including, without limitation, the Distributor) for sales of the Funds’ shares, or for other expenses associated with distributing the Funds’ shares. The Funds may expend 0.25% for Investor Class shares of a Fund’s average daily net assets annually to pay for any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Funds and the servicing of shareholder accounts, provided that the Trustees have approved the category of expenses for which payment is being made.

For the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017, the Funds accrued 12b-1 expenses attributable to Investor Class shares as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2017

7. TAX MATTERS

For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned, gross appreciation, gross depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments at June 30, 2017 were as follows:

Fund	Tax Cost		Gross Unrealized Appreciation		Gross Unrealized Depreciation			Net Unrealized Appreciation
Value Fund	$	35,473,702	$	5,945,971	$	(1,569,338	)	$	4,376,633
Growth Fund		4,592,880		223,494		(52,537	)		170,957

The difference between book basis unrealized appreciation and tax-basis unrealized appreciation for the Funds is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the tax treatment of the cost of securities received as in-kind subscriptions.

The Funds’ tax basis distributable earnings are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. As of June 30, 2017, the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, the components of distributable earnings presented on an income tax basis were as follows:

Fund	Undistributed Ordinary Income		Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains		Net Unrealized Appreciation		Total Distributable Earnings
Value Fund	$	309,786	$	540,524	$	4,376,633	$	5,226,943
Growth Fund		383,201		3,241		170,957		557,399

As of June 30, 2017, the Funds had no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

In accordance with GAAP, the Funds have recorded reclassifications in the capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and are designed generally to present accumulated undistributed realized gains and paid-in capital on a tax basis which is considered to be more informative to the shareholder. The reclassifications listed below are as a result of differing book/tax treatment of capital gains from sales of securities received from in-kind subscriptions. As of June 30, 2017, the Fund recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the capital accounts as follows:

Fund	Undistributed Net Realized Gain		Paid-in Capital
Value Fund	$	3,104,712	$	(3,104,712	)
Growth Fund		134,265		(134,265	)

The tax character of distributions paid by the Funds during the period from October 3, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017, were as follows.

Fund	Ordinary Income
Value Fund	$	30,778
Growth Fund		2,888

Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2017

8. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of a fund’s voting securities creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of June 30, 2017, the Value Fund and the Growth Fund had omnibus shareholder accounts 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 the Funds.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that may contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events of the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has evaluated the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures. Any required changes will be implemented for interim and annual periods after August 1, 2017.
