The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a widely used indicator of the bond market. The index is market capitalization-weighted and is made up of U.S. bonds that are primarily investment grade and has a greater number of securities than is found in the Fund's portfolio. Please note that the index does 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 data quoted here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemptions of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.Performance figures for periods greater than 1 year are annualized. Updated performance data current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling (833) 974-3787.
How did the Fund perform last year?
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 5.78%, trailing the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index which returned 7.30%, its best performance since 2020. As a "Non-Traditional" bond fund, the Fund had a large exposure to lower-quality grade bonds (aka "high yield") in 2025. This sector became overvalued relative to investment grade and government bonds during the year causing the Fund's underperformance compared to its benchmark.
In addition, the Fund's subadvisers employ multiple tactical strategies including econometric allocation, trend-following for high yield sector, unconstrained trend/momentum-based relative strength, AI-based equity exposure, and individual stock selection strategies based on fundamental and relative strength. During the year, the trend-following strategies led to underperformance due to whipsaw trades that occurred.
What factors influenced performance during the past year?
•Gains in the bond market were driven by Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, declining yields in parts of the curve, attractive coupon income, and tightening credit spreads in riskier segments.
•Stocks were supported by a positive macro backdrop including record corporate earnings, a surprisingly strong economy and resilient consumer spending, declining inflation, persistent enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, and a Federal Reserve that shifted decisively toward a more friendly stance in the second half of the year.
•One of the Fund's key features to its management style is the use of multiple investment strategies and to rotate amongst multiple strategies as market environments evolve. Such an approach can create higher turnover than more traditional management styles. In 2025, the Fund utilized between 5 and 8 strategies. The changes between strategies during the year created higher turnover than traditional bond funds. In addition, the timing of some of the rotations created a degree of underperformance.
•Risk management is a key component of the tactical allocation style. Management strategies utilizing trend-following, momentum, and econometric allocations are designed to reduce exposure to securities trending downward in a meaningful fashion and/or are no longer in favorable macroeconomic environments.

How did the Fund perform last year?
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 11.54%, trailing the Morningstar Mod AGG TR which returned 18.45%. The underperformance versus the benchmark was primarily attributable to whipsaw trades during the year and lower foreign market exposure than the benchmark.
What factors influenced performance during the past year?
•Stocks were supported by a positive macro backdrop including record corporate earnings, a surprisingly strong economy and resilient consumer spending, declining inflation, persistent enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, and a Federal Reserve that shifted decisively toward a more friendly stance in the second half of the year.
•The management style employed by the Fund employs multiple tactical strategies that change throughout the year. In 2025, the trend-following strategies were whipsawed in the spring as the stock market reacted negatively to the announcement of tariffs. By design, the strategies reduced exposure into the event as prices declined. However, the news-driven environment changed quickly, and prices rebounded in a swift fashion, causing the trend-following strategies to reenter positions at higher prices than where they had been sold. In addition, the Fund employed a stock selection strategy focused on growth stocks during much of the year. These positions performed well for much of the year but declined as the sector underwent a correction late in the year.
•Allocations to the strategies utilized in the Fund have two layers of oversight. First, the sub-advisers review the performance of each strategy on a short-term basis (daily/weekly). Second, the Adviser to the Fund reviews the performance of each sub-adviser's performance daily. Reallocations to strategies by the sub-advisers occur several times during the year on an as-needed, case-by-case basis.
•Tactical risks are monitored by both the Adviser and the sub-advisers. Sub-advisers monitor risks on a daily basis while the Adviser monitors risks more broadly using the status of the market cycle.

How did the Fund perform last year?
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 11.43%, trailing the Morningstar Agg TR and the S&P 500 which returned 20.43% and 17.88%, respectively. The primary reason for the underperformance versus the benchmarks was the fact that the Fund's market timing strategies were whipsawed by the two meaningful pullbacks seen in the market during the year.
What factors influenced performance during the past year?
•Stocks were supported by a positive macro backdrop including record corporate earnings, a surprisingly strong economy and resilient consumer spending, declining inflation, persistent enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, and a Federal Reserve that shifted decisively toward a more friendly stance in the second half of the year.
•The Fund's sub-adviser strategies were negatively impacted by two meaningful and short-term corrections seen in the stock market during the year. The strategies primarily impacted were based on trend and breadth metrics of the overall market. During both the spring and fall corrections, the strategies reduced exposure after prices had declined in a swift fashion only to reenter positions at higher prices as the market recovered very quickly. Such is often the case during news-driven environments and is a risk of employing trend-based approaches.
•Performance during the two corrective phases was negatively impacted by reducing exposure into the decline and then adding positions after the rebound had occurred.

How did the Fund perform last year?
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 18.17%, outperforming the 17.88% return of the S&P 500 while trailing the 20.43% return of the Morningstar Agg TR. The outperformance versus the S&P 500 can be attributed primarily to the Fund's focus on longer-term holding strategies, the increased exposure to individual stock selection strategies targeting Artificial Intelligence issues, and enhanced exposure to the U.S. large-capitalization technology sector. The Fund's underperformance relative to the Morningstar Agg TR benchmark can be attributed to the fact that the benchmark is more broadly diversified across cap-sizes, styles, and regional allocations than the Fund during the year. The Fund's management style focuses on market leadership, which for a lengthy period had been focused very narrowly on the U.S. megacap technology sector. During the second half of the year, market leadership broadened causing the Fund's focused positioning to lag the more diversified Morningstar benchmark.

•Stocks were supported by a positive macro backdrop including record corporate earnings, a surprisingly strong economy and resilient consumer spending, declining inflation, persistent enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, and a Federal Reserve that shifted decisively toward a more friendly stance in the second half of the year.

*Per share net investment income (loss) has been determined on the basis of average shares outstanding.
**Total return in the above table represents the rate that the investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the Fund assuming reinvestment of dividends. Had the Advisor not waived a portion of its fees, total return would have been lower.
(a)Expenses include 0.09% of administrative fees which were voluntarily waived by the predecessor administrators for the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.
(b)Expenses before waivers (excluding interest expense of 0.00% and 0.00%) was 2.31% and 2.21% for the years ended 2022 and 2021, respectively.
(c)Expenses after waivers (excluding interest expense of 0.00% and 0.00%) was 1.97% and 1.92% for the years ended 2022 and 2021, respectively.
(d)Recognition of net investment income (loss) by the Fund is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying investment companies in which the Fund invests. The ratio does not include net investment income (loss) of the underlying investment companies in which the Fund invests.
(e)Does not include expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests.
(f)Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, consequently, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns for shareholder transactions.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of each Fund's significant accounting policies. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
As an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-08, the Funds follow accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, "Financial Services - Investment Companies."
SECURITY VALUATIONS:All investments in securities are recorded at their fair value, as described in Note 3.
SECURITY TRANSACTION TIMING:For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividend income is recorded at fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Funds use the specific identification method in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with each Fund's understanding of the appropriate country's rules and tax rates.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:The Funds make no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify each year as regulated investment companies ("RIC") under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of their taxable income. 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. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Fund management has evaluated the impact of ASU 2023-09and determined that adoption will not have a material effect on the Funds' financial statements, as each Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M and generally does not incur significant income tax expense.
36
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2025
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2022, 2023, 2024) or expected to be taken on each Fund's 2025 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal, 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 12 months.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:Each Fund typically distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized gains in the form of dividends and taxable capital gains to its shareholders. The Funds intend to distribute dividends and capital gains at least annually. Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income taxes purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value ("NAV") per share of a Fund.
SHORT SALES: A Fund may sell a security that it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which a Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale. A Fund is also subject to the risk that it may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially in excess of the last quoted price. A Fund's borrowing agreements with broker-dealers are not subject to master netting or similar agreements or collateral agreements. A Fund is liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. Dividend expense is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest expense is accrued daily.
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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
37
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2025
EXPENSES:Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust will be allocated to the individual funds based on each Fund's relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Trustees).
SHARE VALUATION:Each Fund's NAV is calculated once daily, at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open. The net assets are determined by totaling the value of all portfolio securities, cash and other assets held by a Fund, and subtracting from that total all liabilities, including accrued expenses. The total net assets are divided by the total number of shares to determine the NAV of each share.
SEGMENT REPORTING: An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. Each Fund operates as a single reportable segment, an investment company whose investment objective is included in Note 1. The President of the Adviser has been designated as the Funds' CODM, who is responsible for assessing the performance of each Fund's single segment and deciding how to allocate each segment's resources. To perform this function, the CODM reviews the information in the Funds' Financial Statements.
3. SECURITY VALUATIONS
Fair Value Pricing Policy
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") adopted Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), which established an updated regulatory framework for registered investment company fair valuation practices. The Funds' fair value policies and procedures and valuation practices were updated to comply with Rule 2a-5. Specifically, the Board designated the Adviser as the Funds' "Valuation Designee" to make fair value determinations.
The Adviser acts through its Rule 2a-5 Committee (the "Valuation Committee") in accordance with the Trust's and the Adviser's policies and procedures (collectively, the "Valuation Procedures"). While fair value determinations will be based upon all available factors that the Valuation Designee deems relevant at the time of the determination, fair value represents only a good faith approximation of the value of an asset or liability.
If market quotations are not readily available, the security will be valued at fair value (the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale) as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee ("Fair Value Pricing"), subject to oversight by the Board. The Valuation Designee must use reasonable diligence in
38
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2025
determining whether market quotations are readily available. If, for example, the Valuation Designee determines that one source of market value is unreliable, the Valuation Designee must diligently seek market quotations from other sources, such as other brokers or pricing services, before concluding that market quotations are not available. Fair Value Pricing is not permitted when market quotations are readily available.
Fixed income securities generally are valued using market quotations provided by a pricing service. If the Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, may be valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, when the Valuation Designee has determined that it will represent fair value.
The Funds' policies regarding fair value pricing are intended to result in a calculation of a Fund's net asset value that fairly reflects portfolio security values as of the time of pricing. A portfolio security's fair value price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using a Fund's normal pricing procedure, and may differ substantially from the price at which the portfolio security may ultimately be traded or sold. If such fair value price differs from the price that would have been determined using a Fund's normal pricing procedures, a shareholder may receive more or less proceeds or shares from redemptions or purchases of Fund shares, respectively, than a shareholder would have otherwise received if the portfolio security was priced using a Fund's normal pricing procedures. The performance of a Fund may also be affected if a portfolio security's fair value price were to differ from the security's price using a Fund's normal pricing procedures.
Fair Value Measurements
GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-tier hierarchy seeks to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
39
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2025
developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect each Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Equity securities (domestic and foreign common stocks and exchange-traded funds/notes) - Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price of valuation or NASDAQ Official Close Price. 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 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.
Valuation of Fund of Funds- The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the "Underlying Funds"). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based upon the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed end investment company purchased by a Fund will not change.
Money market funds- Money market funds are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the money market fund. The money market funds will be categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board, the Valuation Designee reports all fair valued securities to the Board at least quarterly. The Board monitors and evaluates the Fund's use of fair value pricing. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.
40
Tactical Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2025
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 Fund has 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.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
INVESTMENT ADVISER: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, with respect to the Funds (the "Advisory Agreement"), the Adviser, subject to the oversight of the Board, provides investment advice as it deems advisable and will furnish a continuous investment program for the Funds consistent with each Fund's investment objective and policies. As compensation for its management services, each Fund is obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.30% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. The Adviser delegates daily management of the Funds' assets to multiple sub-advisers. The Adviser is responsible for the overall management of the Funds, supervision of the sub-advisers, and for determining the amount of each Fund's assets that each sub-adviser will manage. The Adviser, not the Funds, pays each sub-adviser.
The Advisory Agreement continues for an initial term of two years and is renewed annually thereafter, provided that continuance is approved at least annually by specific approval of the Board or by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund. In either event, it must also be approved by a majority of the Trustees who are neither parties to the agreement nor interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds on not more than 60 days' written notice to the Adviser. In the event of its assignment, the Advisory Agreement will terminate automatically.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least through April 30, 2026, to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waivers and reimbursements (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, interest, borrowing expenses, distribution fees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 Plans, shareholder service fees pursuant to a Shareholder Service Plan, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees and commissions, dividend expenses on short sales, litigation expenses, expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of such Fund's business) will not exceed 1.99% of each Fund's average daily net assets. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to recoupment from the Funds within three years of the date on which the waiver or reimbursement occurs, provided that the recoupment payments do not cause Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed (i) the expense limitation then in effect, if any, and (ii) the expense limitation in
43

effect at the time the expenses to be repaid were incurred. This agreement may be terminated only by the Board on 60 days' written notice to the Funds' Adviser.

9. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2025, Charles Schwab and Co., Inc. held approximately 100% of the voting securities of the Income Fund, 100% of the voting securities of the Growth Fund, 100% of the voting securities of the Quantitative Fund and 100% of the voting securities of the AlphaGen Fund and may be deemed to control the Funds.
10. MARKET RISK
Overall market risks may also affect the value of each Fund. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to a Fund's NAV, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.
11. UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES
The Funds may invest a significant portion of their assets in shares of one or more Investment Companies (i.e., ETFs and Money Market Funds). From time to time, the Funds may invest greater than 25% of their net assets in one security. As of December 31, 2025, none of the Funds had more than 25% of their net assets invested in one security.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no events requiring disclosure or recognition.
13. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2023, the SEC adopted a final rule relating to "Names Rule" under the 1940 Act. The amendments expanded the rule to require more funds to adopt an 80 percent investment policy, including funds with names suggesting a focus in investments with particular characteristics (e.g., growth or value) or with terms that reference a thematic investment focus (e.g., environmental, social, or governance factors). The amendments required that a fund review its name for compliance with the rule. If needed, a fund may need to adopt an 80 percent investment policy and review its portfolio assets' treatment under such policy at least quarterly. The rule also requires additional prospectus disclosure and reporting and record keeping requirements. Depending on the size of the fund, the rule will take effect about 24 to 36 months after its publication date. For funds with less than $1 billionin net assets, such as the Funds, the compliance date is May 18, 2028. Management has evaluated the amendments and determined that effective April 30, 2026, the Tactical Growth Allocation Fund will change its name to "Tactical Allocation Fund" and the TFA AlphaGen Growth Fund will change its name to "TFA AlphaGen Fund." The changes will be reflected in the annual update to the Trust's registration statement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of TFA Tactical Income Fund, Tactical Growth Allocation Fund,
TFA Quantitative Fund and TFA AlphaGen Growth Fund
and Board of Trustees of Tactical Investment Series Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of TFA Tactical Income Fund, Tactical Growth Allocation Fund, TFA Quantitative Fund and TFA AlphaGen Growth Fund (the "Funds"), each a series of Tactical Investment Series Trust, as of December 31, 2025, 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, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2025, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial highlights of the Funds for the years or periods ended December 31, 2022, and prior, were audited by other auditors, whose report dated March 1, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
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 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 December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 2023.
