TABLE OF CONTENTS
A
|
Securities Valuation- The Board has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Funds and its Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating the Funds' NAVs. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have designated the Adviser as their "Valuation Designee" to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
B
|
Use of Estimates- The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires the Funds' management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
C
|
General- Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Daily realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on the specific lot identification basis. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and regulations. Any distributions received from investments in ETFs which represent long-term capital gains are recorded by the Funds as a realized gain.
|
D
|
Expenses- Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses are allocated to the Funds on several bases, including relative net assets of all the Funds within the Monetta Trust.
|
E
|
Federal Income Taxes- It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of and during the period ended June 30, 2025, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the "more-likely-than- not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. As of and during the period ended June 30, 2025, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of and during the period ended June 30, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest and penalties. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities for tax years prior to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
|
F
|
Distributions of Incomes and Gains- Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date. Due to inherent differences in the characterization of short-term capital gains under U.S. GAAP, and for federal income tax purposes, the amount of distributable net investment income for book and federal income tax purposes may differ.

Fair Value Measurements- In accordance with ASC 820-10, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
|
Level 1 -
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;
|
Level 2 -
|
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.);
|
Level 3 -
|
Significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
