Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
The Alger Global Focus Fund Class A, excluding sales load, returned 13.68% for the fiscal twelve-month period ended October 31, 2025, compared to the 23.19% return of the MSCI ACWI. During the reporting period, the largest sector weightings were Information Technology and Industrials. The largest sector overweight was Industrials and the largest sector underweight was Financials.
Contributors to Performance
The Industrials and Health Care sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance. Regarding individual positions, NVIDIA Corp., Nebius Group N.V., Shopify, Inc., Broadcom Inc., and Amazon.com, Inc. were the top five contributors to absolute performance.
Detractors from Performance
The Financial and Information Technology sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Agilysys, Inc., Alphabet Inc., Accenture Plc, PT Bank Central Asia Tbk, and Shift4 Payments, Inc. were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Resilient Corporate Earnings Positive Strong corporate earnings were driven by profit margin improvement and robust consumer spending. Themes such as cloud-based computing growth and artificial intelligence proliferation also supported market sentiment.
Structural Policy Reforms in Europe Positive Governments across Europe shifted from austerity to pro-growth policies following several elections. These policy initiatives included fiscal stimulus and streamlined regulations. These measures improved corporate profitability prospects and signaled a more capital-friendly environment for international equities generally.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative In early April 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced aggressive "reciprocal" tariffs that were more severe than anticipated, triggering concerns of retaliatory trade actions, supply-chain cost pressure, and weaker global demand for U.S. exports. While subsequent adjustments were made, tariff uncertainty persisted throughout 2025.
Rising Economic Uncertainty in the U.S. Negative U.S. economic uncertainty increasingly reflected consumer sentiment rather than broad spending trends. Confidence declined amid fears of tariff-driven inflation and signs of a softening labor market, which tempered expectations for future growth despite resilient headline U.S. consumption.
Fund Performance
The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed ten fiscal years of Class A shares of the Fund.

ALGER GLOBAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - General:
Alger Global Equity Fund (the "Fund") is an open-end registered investment company organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Fund qualifies as an investment company as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification 946 - Financial Services - Investment Companies. The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. It seeks to achieve its objective by investing in equity securities of both U.S. and foreign companies. The Fund's foreign investments will include securities of companies in both developed and emerging market countries.
The Fund offers Class A, C, I and Z shares. Class A shares are generally subject to an initial sales charge while Class C shares are generally subject to a deferred sales charge. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on the fifth business day of the month following the eighth anniversary of the purchase date of a shareholder's Class C shares, without the imposition of any sales load, fee or other charge. Class C shares held at certain dealers may not convert to Class A shares or may be converted on a different schedule. At conversion, a proportionate amount of shares representing reinvested dividends and distributions will also be converted into Class A shares. Effective August 27, 2019, Class C shares were closed to direct shareholders and are only available for purchase through certain financial intermediaries and group retirement plan recordkeeping platforms. Class I shares are generally sold to institutional investors and are sold without an initial or deferred sales charge. Class Z shares are generally subject to a minimum initial investment of $500,000. Each class has identical rights to assets and earnings, except that each share class bears the pro rata allocation of the Fund's expenses other than a class expense (not including advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the Fund's assets).
NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies:
(a) Investment Valuation: The Fund values its financial instruments at fair value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board"). Investments held by the Fund are valued on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") is open, as of the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time).
The Board has designated, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), Fred Alger Management, LLC, the Fund's investment adviser ("Alger Management" or the "Investment Manager"), as its valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee") to make fair value determinations subject to the Board's review and oversight. The Valuation Designee has established a Valuation Committee ("Committee") comprised of
- 14 -
ALGER GLOBAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
representatives of the Investment Manager and officers of the Fund to assist in performing the duties and responsibilities of the Valuation Designee.
The Valuation Designee has established valuation processes including but not limited to: (i) making fair value determinations when market quotations for financial instruments are not readily available in accordance with valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board; (ii) assessing and managing material risks associated with fair valuation determinations; (iii) selecting, applying and testing fair valuation methodologies; and (iv) overseeing and evaluating pricing services used by the Fund. The Valuation Designee regularly reports its fair valuation determinations and related valuation information to the Board. The Committee generally meets quarterly and on an as-needed basis to review and evaluate the effectiveness of the valuation policies and procedures in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-5.
Investments in short-term securities held by the Fund having a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Investments in other open-end investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, including money market funds, are valued at such investment companies' net asset value per share.
Equity securities, including traded rights, warrants and option contracts for which valuation information is readily available, are valued at the last quoted sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded as reported by an independent pricing service. In the absence of quoted sales, such securities are generally valued at the bid price or, in the absence of a recent bid price, the equivalent as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for the securities to be valued.
Securities in which the Fund invests may be traded in foreign markets that close before the close of the NYSE. Developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and the close of the NYSE may result in adjustments to the closing foreign prices to reflect what the Valuation Designee, through its Committee, believes to be the fair value of these securities as of the close of the NYSE. The Fund may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the NYSE is open.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy 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 and may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available in these circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below. The Fund's quantitative summary by Level can be found in Note 9.
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar or identical investments, amortized cost, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The Fund's valuation techniques are generally consistent with either the market or the income approach to fair value. The market approach considers prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets to measure fair value. The income approach converts future amounts to a current, or discounted, single amount. These fair value measurements are determined on the basis of the value indicated by current market expectations about such future events. Inputs for Level 1 include exchange-listed prices and broker quotes in an active market. Inputs for Level 2 include the last trade price in the case of a halted security, an exchange-listed price which has been adjusted for fair value factors, and prices of closely related securities. Additional Level 2 inputs include an evaluated price which is based upon a compilation of observable market information such as spreads for fixed income and preferred securities. Inputs for Level 3 include, but are not limited to, revenue multiples, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") multiples, transaction pricing, performance of comparable publicly traded securities, discount rates, time to exit and the probabilities of success of certain outcomes. Such unobservable market information may be obtained from a company's financial statements and from industry studies, market data, and market indicators such as benchmarks and indexes. Because of the inherent uncertainty and often limited markets for restricted securities, the valuations assigned to such securities by the Fund may significantly differ from the
- 16 -
ALGER GLOBAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
valuations that would have been assigned by the Fund had there been an active market for such securities.
(b) Cash: Cash includes U.S. dollars, if applicable.
(c) Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized or accreted over the lives of the respective securities.
(d) Foreign Currency Transactions: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade dates and settlement dates of security transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included in realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
(e) Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts: The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated securities or to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency.
These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the base currency.
- 17 -
ALGER GLOBAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(f) Dividends to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions payable to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if available, annually. Distributions from net realized gains, offset by any loss carryforward, are declared and paid annually after the end of the fiscal year in which earned. Each share class is treated separately in determining the amount of dividends from net investment income payable to holders of its shares.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of the Fund's distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from, or in excess of, net investment income, net realized gain on investment transactions, or return of capital, depending on the type of book/tax differences that may exist. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications result primarily from the differences in tax treatment of net operating losses, passive foreign investment companies, and foreign currency transactions. The reclassifications are done annually at year-endand have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and are designed to present the Fund's capital accounts on a tax basis.
(g) Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code Subchapter M applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Provided that the Fund maintains such compliance, no U.S. federal income tax provision is required.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740 - Income Taxes ("ASC 740") requires the Fund to measure and recognize in its financial statements the benefit of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) on an income tax return if such position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. No tax years are currently under investigation. The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, as well as the New York State and New York City jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund's tax returns remains open for the tax years 2021-2024. Alger Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
(h) Allocation Methods: Income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and expenses of the Fund are allocated among the Fund's classes based on relative net assets, with the exception of distribution fees, transfer agency fees, and shareholder servicing and related fees.
(i) Segment Reporting: During the year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting ("Topic 280") - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-
- 18 -
ALGER GLOBAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
07"). An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses and, 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. The Principal Executive Officer of the Fund acts as the Fund's CODM. The Fund represents a single operating segment. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund, including the Fund's portfolio composition, total return, expense ratio, and changes in net assets. The Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of the Fund's prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Investment Manager.
(j) Estimates: These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require using estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Actual results may differ from those estimates. All such estimates are of a normal recurring nature.
(k) Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In December 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance income tax disclosures. The main provisions are the categorization and disclosure of income tax rates and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. At this time, Alger Management is currently evaluating the amendment's impact to the Fund's financial statements.

The Fund accrues tax on unrealized gains in foreign jurisdictions that impose a foreign capital tax, if applicable.
Permanent differences, primarily from net operating losses and equalization, resulted in the following reclassifications among the Fund's components of net assets at October 31, 2025:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund's securities are revenue and EBITDA multiples, publicly traded comparable securities' market value and revenue multiples, transaction pricing, discount rates, and the probability of success of certain outcomes. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between these inputs would have resulted in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. Generally, all other things being equal, increases in revenue and EBITDA multiples, decreases in discount rates, and increases in the probability
- 26 -
ALGER GLOBAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
of success result in higher fair value measurements, whereas decreases in revenues and EBITDA multiples, increases in discount rates, and decreases in the probability of success result in lower fair value measurements. For the year ended October 31, 2025, there were no changes in valuation methodology on Level 3 investments.
NOTE 10 - Derivatives:
FASB Accounting Standards Codification 815 - Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.
There were no derivative instruments held by the Fund throughout the year or as of October 31, 2025.
NOTE 11 - Principal Risks:
Investing in the stock market involves risks, including the potential loss of principal. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what was invested, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks as their prices tend to be higher in relation to their companies' earnings and may be more sensitive to market, political, and economic developments. A significant portion of assets may be invested in securities of companies in related sectors, and may be similarly affected by economic, political, or market events and conditions and may be more vulnerable to unfavorable sector developments. Assets may be focused in a small number of holdings, making them susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory event than a more diversified portfolio. Foreign securities, Frontier Markets, and Emerging Markets involve special risks including currency fluctuations, inefficient trading, political and economic instability, and increased volatility. Investing in companies of small capitalizations involves the risk that such issuers may have limited product lines or financial resources, lack management depth, or have limited liquidity. At times, cash may be a larger position in the portfolio and may underperform relative to equity securities.

Alger Management has evaluated events that have occurred subsequent to October 31, 2025, through the issuance date of the Financial Statements. No material events have been identified which require recognition and/or disclosure.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Alger Global Equity Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Alger Global Equity Fund (the "Fund"), including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2025, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements and financial highlights"). In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2025, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights 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 Fund 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2025, by correspondence with

Fund Holdings
The Board has adopted policies and procedures relating to disclosure of the Fund's portfolio securities. These policies and procedures recognize that there may be legitimate business reasons for holdings to be disclosed and seek to balance those interests to protect the proprietary nature of the trading strategies and implementation thereof by the Fund.
Generally, the policies prohibit the release of information concerning portfolio holdings, which have not previously been made public, to individual investors, institutional investors, intermediaries that distribute the Fund's shares and other parties which are not employed by the Investment Manager or its affiliates except when the legitimate business purposes for selective disclosure and other conditions (designed to protect the Fund) are acceptable.

No compensation or other consideration is received for the non-public disclosure of portfolio holdings information.
In accordance with the foregoing, the Fund provides portfolio holdings information to third parties including financial intermediaries and service providers who need access to this information in the performance of their services and are subject to duties of confidentiality (1) imposed by law, including a duty not to trade on non-public information, and/or (2) pursuant to an agreement that confidential information is not to be disclosed or used (including trading on such information) other than as required by law. From time to time, the Fund will communicate with these third parties to confirm that they understand the Fund's policies and procedures regarding such disclosure. These agreements must be approved by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer.
The Board periodically reviews a report disclosing the third parties to whom the Fund's holdings information has been disclosed and the purpose for such
- 31 -

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
At a meeting held on September 18, 2025 (the "Meeting"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Fund, including a majority of the trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Fund (the "Independent Trustees"), reviewed and approved the continuation of (i) the investment advisory agreement between Fred Alger Management, LLC ("Alger") and the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") and (ii) the investment sub-advisory agreement between Alger and Redwood Investments, LLC ("Redwood"), an affiliate of Alger, on behalf of the Fund (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement," and together with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the "Management Agreements," and each, a "Management Agreement") for an additional one-year period. Alger and Redwood are collectively referred to herein as the "Manager."
In considering the continuation of each Management Agreement, the Board reviewed and considered information provided by the Manager and its representatives at the Meeting and throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. The Board also reviewed and considered information the Manager provided in response to a request for information Independent Trustee counsel submitted to the Manager on behalf of the Independent Trustees in connection with the Board's annual contract consideration, as well as information provided in response to a supplemental request from Independent Trustee counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees. The materials for the Meeting included reports from FUSE Research Network LLC ("FUSE"), an independent consulting firm, that contained extensive analyses of the Fund and the Manager's services to the Fund. The Board also received a presentation from FUSE representatives at the Meeting, and, among other things, received a description of the methodology FUSE used to select the mutual funds included in the Fund's Peer Universe and Peer Group (as described below). Moreover, at a meeting held on September 17, 2025, prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees met with representatives from FUSE to receive an overview of, and to discuss the methodology by which FUSE prepared, its reports.
The Independent Trustees received advice from, and met separately with, their Independent Trustee counsel in considering whether to approve the continuation of each Management Agreement. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards and their duties in considering the continuation of the Management Agreements, and counsel reviewed those standards with the Independent Trustees during their separate meeting. The Independent Trustees also met separately with senior management of Alger, during which time the Independent Trustees discussed various matters related to proposed continuation of the Management Agreements.
The Board reviewed the materials provided and considered all of the factors it deemed relevant in approving the continuance of each Management Agreement,
- 38 -
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
including, but not limited to: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Manager; (ii) the short- and long-term investment performance of the Fund; (iii) the costs of the services the Manager provided and profits it realized; (iv) the extent to which the Manager realizes economies of scale as the Fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.
In the discussions that follow, reference is made to the "median" in the Peer Group and Peer Universe categories. With respect to performance, below median performance represents performance that is worse relative to the median, and above median performance represents performance that is better relative to the median of the funds in the relevant Performance Universe. With respect to expenses, below median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses that are lower relative to the median, and above median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses that are higher relative to the median of the funds in the relevant Expense Group (as described below). FUSE information is calculated on a share class basis. References appearing below with regard to the Fund's performance results and comparative fees and expenses relate to Class Z shares of the Fund.
In particular, in approving the continuance of each Management Agreement, the Board considered the following factors:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of investment management services provided by the Manager to the Fund. This information included, among other things, the qualifications, background and experience of the professional personnel who perform services for the Fund; the structure of investment professional compensation; oversight of third-party service providers, including the Fund's sub-adviser; short- and long-terminvestment performance, fee and expense information; fees and payments to affiliates and intermediaries for fund administration, transfer agency and shareholder services; legal and compliance matters; risk controls; pricing and other services provided by the Manager; and the range of advisory fees the Manager charges to other funds and accounts under its management, including the Manager's explanation of differences among such funds and accounts and the Fund, where relevant. The Board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by the Manager concerning the management of the Fund's affairs, including certain portfolio manager presentations, and Alger's role in coordinating and overseeing providers of other services to the Fund. The Board also noted the work undertaken by the Manager with respect to implementing various regulatory requirements applicable to the Fund.
- 39 -
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
The Board noted Alger's history and expertise in the "growth" style of investment management, as well as Alger's consistency in applying its "growth" style investment philosophy and process. The Board also considered the investment approach of the Fund's sub-adviser. The Board noted the length of time the Manager has provided services as an investment adviser (or sub-adviser, as applicable) to the Fund.
The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits provided to Fund shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Alger Family of Funds. The Board noted the continuing strong financial position of the Manager and the Manager's commitment to its fund, and overall, business.
Following consideration of such information, the Trustees determined that they remain satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager to the Fund under the Management Agreements.
Fund Performance
The Board reviewed and considered the performance results of the Fund over various time periods ended June 30, 2025. The Board considered the performance returns for the Fund in comparison to the performance returns of a universe of mutual funds deemed comparable to the Fund based on various investment, operational, and pricing characteristics ("Peer Universe"), and a group of mutual funds from within such Peer Universe deemed comparable to the Fund based primarily on investment strategy similarity ("Peer Group"), each as selected by FUSE, as well as to the Fund's benchmark index. The Board noted the Manager's statement that long-term performance could be impacted by one period of significant outperformance or underperformance.
The Board also reviewed and considered Fund performance reports provided by management and discussions that occurred with investment personnel and Alger senior management at Board meetings throughout the year. The Board further noted that representatives of Alger review with the Trustees the recent and longer-term performance of the Fund, including contributors to, and detractors from, Fund performance at every quarterly meeting of the Board throughout the year. In considering the Fund's performance generally, the Board observed the Manager's consistency in implementing its growth style investment process and philosophy for the Fund and considered how a strategy's "growthiness" as compared to peers can impact relative performance results, even among comparisons that either FUSE or the Manager already have identified as having growth characteristics. In this regard, the Board considered information provided by FUSE on the Fund's "style factor," reflecting a three-year average of Morningstar's Raw Growth-Value score to indicate a value or growth bias as compared to the Fund's Peer Group and benchmark.
The Trustees concluded that the Fund's performance was acceptable. The Board noted that the Fund's annualized total return for the one- and three-year periods
- 40 -
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
outperformed the median of its Peer Group, and for the five- and 10-year periods underperformed the median of its Peer Group. The Board also noted the Fund's annualized total return for the one-year period was in the second quartile of its Peer Universe, for the three- and five-year periods was in the third quartile of its Peer Universe, and for the 10-year period was in the fourth quartile of its Peer Universe. The Board considered FUSE's commentary regarding (i) the Fund's improved performance over the short term and (ii) the negative impact on Fund performance of the Fund's higher exposure to emerging markets as compared to peers. The Board also noted that as of February 1, 2024, Redwood became the sub-adviser to the Fund and that the Fund's performance reflects that of Redwood for periods on and after February 1, 2024.
Comparative Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (the "Contractual Management Fee") payable by the Fund to Alger in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Alger pursuant to the Management Agreement, and considered the actual fee rate (after taking any waivers and reimbursements into account) payable by the Fund (the "Actual Management Fee"). The Board also reviewed and considered the sub-advisory fee payable to Redwood by Alger out of the management fee Alger receives from the Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Redwood pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements for the Fund, and specific share classes thereof, as applicable, including representations from Alger that any such waivers and/or reimbursements do not, and are not currently expected to, result in cross-subsidization by one share class of another share class of the Fund. Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the Fund's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and overall expenses, including administrative fees payable to Alger, with those of the funds in the Peer Group provided by FUSE. The Board reviewed the methodology used by FUSE in calculating expense information, including that, for purposes of the comparisons below, the Contractual Management Fee used by FUSE for the Fund and peers includes the advisory fee and administrative fee (if a fund reports both). The Board considered limitations with respect to the comparative fee and expense information included in the reports prepared by FUSE, including that the reports reflected information for a specific period and that historical asset levels and expenses may differ from current levels.
The Board discussed the factors that could contribute to the Fund's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee or total expenses being above or below the median of the Fund's Peer Group and the Board concluded that the Contractual Management Fee charged to the Fund and the sub-advisory fee
- 41 -
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
payable to Redwood for the Fund each are reasonable in relation to the services rendered by the Manager and is the product of arm's length negotiations.
The Board noted that the Fund's Contractual Management Fee was below the median and in the second quartile of its Peer Group and that total expenses were above the median and in the third quartile of its Peer Group. The Board considered FUSE's remarks that the Fund has yet to reach critical scale, which contributes to its slightly higher total net expenses versus peers. The Board also noted that, with respect to the Fund, Redwood is paid by Alger out of the management fee Alger receives from the Fund.
In connection with its consideration of the Fund's fees payable under the Management Agreement, the Board also received information on the range of fees charged by the Manager for funds and accounts of a similar investment strategy to the Fund that are under its management. The Board noted management's explanation that comparisons with such accounts may be of limited relevance given the different structures and regulatory requirements of mutual funds, such as the Fund, versus those accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by the Fund as compared to those accounts.
Profitability
The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the profits realized by Alger in connection with the operation of the Fund. In this respect, the Board considered overall profitability, as well as the profits of Alger in providing investment management and other services to the Fund, during the year ended June 30, 2025. The Board also noted management's representations that the Manager is not profitable with respect to the Fund. The Board reviewed the methodology by which Alger's profitability is calculated, and any changes that were made since last year, noting that management maintains a generally consistent methodology year to year. The Board considered FUSE's view that Alger's expense allocation policies are reasonable and align with accepted industry practices. The Board also reviewed Alger's profitability in comparison to certain investment advisory peers, noting limitations with respect to such comparison. The Board noted that Alger compensates Redwood from its fee and that Alger provided information on Alger's profitability with respect to the Fund.
The Board also considered the extent to which the Manager might derive ancillary benefits from Fund operations including, for example, through soft dollar arrangements. Based upon its consideration of all these factors, the Trustees concluded that the level of profits realized by Alger and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund was not excessive in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
- 42 -
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed and considered the extent to which the Manager may realize economies of scale, if any, as the Fund grows larger and whether the Fund's management fee structure reflects any economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. The Board noted the existence of a management fee breakpoint for the Fund, which is designed to share economies of scale with the Fund's shareholders by reducing the Fund's effective management fees as the Fund grows in size. The Board considered the Manager's view that the overall size of Alger allows it to realize other economies of scale, such as with office space, purchases of technology, and other general business expenses.
The Trustees concluded that for the Fund, to the extent economies of scale may be realized by Alger, the benefits of such economies of scale would be shared with the Fund and its shareholders as the Fund grows, including through the management fee breakpoint in place for the Fund.
Conclusion
The Board's consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement also benefitted from the number of years the Board had considered the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and representatives of the Manager. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board's conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of the Fund's arrangements in prior years.
Based on its review, consideration and evaluation of all factors it believed relevant, including the above-described factors and conclusions, the Board, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, unanimously approved the continuation of each Management Agreement for an additional one-year period.
