Dear
Shareholder:

 

During
the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, the Chadwick & D’Amato Fund (the “Fund”) continued to pursue
a disciplined, risk-managed and historically informed investment approach focused on the complete market cycle. The global economy
that appeared to be gaining strength at the beginning of the year has noticeably weakened over the past 6-months ended October
31, 2018. Time will tell whether this is due to investor perception and sentiment toward the global trade “war”, the
slow reduction of stimulus from Central Banks, the unprecedented expansion of debt as interest rates rise or the natural ebb and
flow of the business cycle.

 

Investing
is an activity in which consumption today is sacrificed to allow greater consumption in the future. “Risk” is the
possibility that this objective won’t be achieved. The time between savings, investing and consumption is non- linear. The
world changes around us and we must adapt to ensure that future consumption is possible. The financial media and much of academia
would have us believe markets are linear – contribute X amount to your 401k for X number of years earning a historical rate
of return and you will have a nicely calculated future amount. There have been many studies conducted on this topic with (in our
opinion) the best identifying the most non-linear variable of them all, human emotion and psychology.

 

The
purpose of this brief review in non-linear markets and investor psychology is to emphasize that markets are generally rational,
but occasionally do crazy things. We think there will be more crazy than rational in the coming months. Those of us that keep
our head, stay calm and are ready to adapt will emerge from this investment cycle with greater financial security than most.

 

The
Fund returned -3.79% versus -1.58% for its benchmark, the S&P Target Risk Moderate Index* over the six- months ended October
31, 2018. The primary detractor from performance was the expiration of hedge positions. We will continue working with the evidence
and will remain rational and disciplined as we translate evidence into investment policy that best serves your needs and goals
over the long-term.

 

Historically
we believe that patient investors have achieved better results by evaluating their goals, diversifying their assets globally and
maintaining a disciplined investment program. These are the hallmarks of the Chadwick & D’Amato investment philosophy.

 

We
thank you for investing with us, welcome your questions and comments and look forward to serving your investment needs in the
years ahead.

 

Sincerely,

 

Thomas M. Chadwick, CFP®	Anthony J. D’Amato, CFP®

The Standard & Poor’s Target Risk Index Series is comprised of four multi-asset class indices, each corresponding to a particular risk level. The asset class mix is determined once per year through a process designed to reflect the overall opportunity of the markets represented, adjusted for specific risk levels. Each index is fully investable, with varying levels of exposure to equities and fixed income through a family of exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Total
Returns as of October 31, 2018

 

			Annualized
Chadwick & D’Amato Fund	Six Months	One Year	Five Years	Since Inception*
	(3.79)%	(7.35)%	(0.14)%	3.09%
S&P Target Risk Moderate Index**	(1.58)%	(1.25)%	3.89%	5.62%

**

The S&P Target Risk Moderate Index provides exposure to a diversified array of financial assets corresponding to a moderate risk level. This index offers significant exposure to fixed income, while also increasing opportunities for higher returns through equities. The asset class mix is determined once a year through a process designed to reflect the overall investment opportunity of the represented markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

***

The Global DowSM is a 150-stock index of corporations from around the world. The underlying philosophy of The Global DowSM is much like that of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. For example, the index includes companies with a long history of success, and a wide following among investors. Its components, like those of The Dow, are selected by the Averages Committee, which is comprised of the Managing Editor of The Wall Street Journal, the head of Dow Jones Indexes research and the head of CME Group research. While stock selection is not governed by quantitative rules, a stock typically is added only if the company has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth and is of interest to a large number of investors. Maintaining adequate sector representation within the index is also a consideration in the selection process. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

Past
performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An
investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Total return is calculated assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Fund’s total gross annual operating expenses, including underlying
funds, are 2.72%, as per the prospectus dated August 28, 2018. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a
shareholder would have to pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For performance information current to the
most recent month-end, please call 1- 877-610-1671.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment
company and accordingly follows the Investment Company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”
including FASB Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

 

Security
Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular
trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed
on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued
at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on the day of valuation. Exchange traded options, futures
and options on futures are valued at the final settle price or, in the absence of a settle price, at the last sale price on the
day of valuation. Index options shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Investments
valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services.
Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less, at the time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

 

Valuation
of Fund of Funds – The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the
“underlying funds”). Underlying open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as
reported by such investment companies. 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 by the methods established by the boards 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 the Fund will not change.

 

The
Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily
illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities
will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to a fair value team composed of one or more representatives from each of
the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) adviser. The team may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist
at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in
determining a security-specific fair value. The Board has also engaged a third party valuation firm to attend valuation meetings
held by the Trust, review minutes of such meetings and report to the Board on a quarterly basis. The Board reviews and ratifies
the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.

Fair
Valuation Process – As noted above, the fair value team is composed of one or more representatives from each of the
(i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) adviser. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from the fair
value team. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market
quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short
and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of
the adviser, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the adviser
to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask price is available; the spread
between bid and ask prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and
actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid;
(iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred since the closing prices were established
on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to the Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically,
interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of
each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as
private investments or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the adviser based upon the current bid for the security
from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who
should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the adviser is unable to
obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value team shall determine the fair
value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size
and nature of the Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time
of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature
and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield
of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades
of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi)
the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

 

The
Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy
that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

 

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

 

Level
2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

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

 

The
availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including,
for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets,
and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less
observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment
exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

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

Please refer to the Portfolio of Investments for Industry Classification.

 

Exchange
Traded Funds (“ETFs”) – The Fund may invest in ETFs. ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities
exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities. The Fund may purchase an ETF to gain
exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market. There are risks of owning the underlying securities the ETFs are designed
to track, and the lack of liquidity of an ETF may result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses
that reduce their value.

 

Options
Transactions – The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and
may purchase or sell options to help hedge against risk. When the Fund writes put and call options, an amount equal to the premium
received is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market
to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters
into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized
for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer
of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an
unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

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

Offsetting
of Financial Assets and Derivative Assets

 

The
following table presents the Fund’s asset derivatives available for offset under a master netting arrangement net of collateral
pledged as of October 31, 2018.

As
of October 31, 2018, the change in unrealized depreciation and amount of realized loss on options contracts subject to equity
price risk amounted to $(955,494) and $(1,283,741), respectively. The value of the derivative instruments of $2,239,188 is included
in Investments at Value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional value of the derivative instruments outstanding
as of October 31, 2018 as disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments and the realized loss amounts and changes in unrealized losses
on derivative instruments during the year as disclosed above and within the Statement of Operations serve as indicators of the
volume of derivative activity for the Fund.

 

Security
Transactions and Investment Income – Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost
is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal
income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities.

 

Expenses
– Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which
are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration
the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.

 

Federal
Income Taxes – The Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all of its taxable income, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly,
no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

 

The
Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be
sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that
no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open
tax years ended April 30, 2016 to April 30, 2018, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s April 30, 2019 year-end tax return.
The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Nebraska and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant
investments. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized
tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

 

Distributions
to Shareholders – Distributions from net investment income and capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least
annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance
with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either
temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification.

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

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

Chadwick
& D’Amato, LLC serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

 

Advisory
Fees – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Trust and the Adviser with respect to the Fund, the Adviser,
under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the performance of administrative and
professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser, the
Fund pays the Adviser a management fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average
daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended October 31, 2018, the Adviser earned advisory fees of $334,363.

 

Distributor
– The distributor of the Fund is Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”). The Board has adopted,
on behalf of the Fund, the Trust’s Master Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”), as amended,
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay for certain distribution activities and shareholder services. Under the Plan,
the Fund may pay up to 0.25% per year of its average daily net assets for such distribution and shareholder service activities.
The Fund is currently approved to pay 0.23% per year of its average daily net assets. For the six months ended October 31, 2018,
the Fund incurred distribution fees of $76,903.

 

In
addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Fund as follows:

 

Gemini
Fund Services, LLC (“GFS”) – GFS, an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration, fund accounting,
and transfer agent services to the Fund. Pursuant to a separate servicing agreement with GFS, the Fund pays GFS customary fees
for providing administration, fund accounting, and transfer agency services to the Fund. Certain officers of the Trust are also
officers of GFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving in such capacities.

 

Northern
Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”) – NLCS, an affiliate of GFS and the Distributor, provides a chief compliance
officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under
the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives customary fees from the Fund.

Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”) – Blu Giant, an affiliate of GFS and the Distributor, provides EDGAR conversion and
filing services as well as print management services for the Fund on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu
Giant receives customary fees from the Fund.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

 

There
were no distributions for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017. The tax character of fund distributions paid for the year ended
April 30, 2018 was as follows:

 

		Fiscal Year Ended				Fiscal Year Ended
		April 30, 2018				April 30, 2017
Long-Term Capital Gain		$	3,009,438			$	—

 

As
of April 30, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Undistributed				Undistributed				Post October Loss				Capital Loss				Other				Unrealized				Total
Ordinary				Long-Term				and				Carry				Book/Tax				Appreciation/				Accumulated
Income				Gains				Late Year Loss				Forwards				Differences				(Depreciation)				Earnings/(Deficits)
$	—			$	3,458,715			$	(158,453	)		$	—			$	—			$	9,540,063			$	12,840,325

 

The
difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net realized gains, and unrealized appreciation from investments is
primarily attributable to mark-to-market on open Section 1256 contracts.

 

Late
year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal
year for tax purposes. The Fund incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of $158,453.

 

Permanent
book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the re-class of net operating losses, resulted in reclassification for the
period ended April 30, 2018 as follows:

 

Paid				Undistributed				Accumulated
In				Net Investment				Net Realized
Capital				Income (Loss)				Gains (Loss)
$	(925,213	)		$	925,212			$	1

 

 

The
beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates presumption of
control of the fund under section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of October 31, 2018 National Financial Services LLC, accounts holding
shares for the benefit of others, held approximately 99.24%, of the voting securities of the Fund.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU,
in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between
Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the policy for the timing of transfers between levels. For investment companies,
the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of the ASU and any
impact on the financial statement disclosures.

In
August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted amendments to certain disclosure requirements under Regulation S-X
to conform to US GAAP, including: (i) an amendment to require presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributable
earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and (ii) an amendment to require presentation of the total, rather than the
components, of distributions to shareholders, except for tax return of capital distributions, if any, on the Statement of Changes
in Net Assets. The amendments also removed the requirement for parenthetical disclosure of undistributed net investment income
on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. These amendments have been adapted with these financial statements.

 

 

Subsequent
events after the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements
were issued. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial

DISCLOSURE
OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

October
31, 2018

 

As
a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1 fees) fees and
other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund
and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables
are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs.

 

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

 

Actual
Expenses: The first line of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use
the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply
divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by
the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses
you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical
Examples for Comparison Purposes: The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values
and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses,
which is 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 Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the
shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please
note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional
costs which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only,
and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs
were included, your costs would have been higher.

 

		Beginning
		Account		Ending Account		Expenses Paid During
		Value		Value		the Period*
		(5/1/18)		(10/31/18)		(5/1/18 to 10/31/18)
Actual		$1,000.00		$962.10		$7.57
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)		$1,000.00		$1,017.49		$7.78

 

*

Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the average account value over the period, multiplied by the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.53% multiplied by the number of days in the period (184) divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (365).

RENEWAL
OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

October
31, 2018

 

Chadwick
& D’Amato Fund (Adviser – Chadwick & D’Amato LLC)*

 

In
connection with the regular meeting held on March 28-29, 2018 of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board”)
of Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,”
as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the re-approval of an investment advisory
agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Chadwick & D’Amato, LLC (“Adviser”) and the Trust,
with respect to the Chadwick & D’Amato Fund (referred to as the “Fund”). In considering the re-approval
of the Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Advisory Agreement.

 

The
Trustees were assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the Advisory Agreement review process. The Trustees relied upon
the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in
evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were
based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each
Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement.

 

Nature,
Extent and Quality of Service. The Trustees noted that the Adviser was founded in 2000 and that it provided financial planning
and investment management services to individuals, business, municipalities and the Fund. They further noted that the Adviser
had assets under management of approximately $ 132 million. They discussed the backgrounds of the key personnel who service the
Fund, noting that the investment team members have had substantial careers in financial services. They noted that all research
and analysis used to manage the Fund was performed by the Adviser’s two principals, observing that they conduct a due diligence
process that involved gathering data, screening, discussion and implementation. They further noted that the Adviser monitored
market trends, business cycles and the micro-economy. The Trustees observed that the Adviser continued to focus on risk mitigation
and capital preservation, utilizing diversification, hedging strategies and defensive tactics. The Trustees considered that the
Adviser formally reviewed execution data received from brokers used to execute portfolio trades, and performed comparative analysis
to meet its duty to seek best execution. They noted that the Adviser reported no material compliance or litigation issues since
its previous advisory contract renewal. The Trustees further noted that the Adviser was a small boutique firm and that all Fund
shareholders were advisory clients of the Adviser who receive personalized service from the firm’s principals, and they
expressed their appreciation of the Adviser’s continued commitment to compliance and risk mitigation efforts. After discussion,
the Trustees concluded that the Adviser should continue to provide quality service to the Fund and its shareholders.

 

Performance.
The Trustees discussed the Fund’s investment objective and strategy, as well as its somewhat unfavorable historical
Morningstar ratings and rankings. They noted that the Fund had underperformed its benchmark, Morningstar category median and Broadridge
peer group median over the 3-year, 5-year, and since inception periods. They further discussed that the Fund had outperformed
its benchmark and peer group median and only slightly underperformed its Morningstar category over the 1-year period. They also
considered that the Adviser had taken steps to adjust its investment strategy in response to current market environments, and
they noted the Adviser’s consistency in its overall approach. The Trustees reiterated that all shareholders of the Fund
are also clients of the Adviser, and that the Adviser noted its belief that the shareholders’ needs were being met by the
Fund. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was adequate.

 

Fees
and Expenses. The Trustees noted the advisory fee charged by the Adviser to the Fund of 1.00%. They observed that the fee
was equal with its Broadridge peer group median and slightly higher than its

Chadwick
& D’Amato Fund

RENEWAL
OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued)

average
while also being equal to its Morningstar category median but higher than the category average. They acknowledged that the advisory
fee was well within the range of both comparable metrics. The Trustees also considered that all shareholders were advisory clients
of the Adviser and received individualized financial services from the Adviser, apart from those provided through the Fund, at
no additional cost. The Trustees also considered that the net expense ratio of the Fund was the highest among its peer group and
Morningstar category. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s belief that underlying funds in the portfolio, which tend to raise
the Fund’s net expense ratio, provide a cost effective means of executing the Fund’s strategy. After discussion, it
was the consensus of the Trustees that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.

 

Economies
of Scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale had been achieved with respect to the management of the Fund.
The Trustees considered the Adviser’s assertion that the Fund was relatively capacity constrained due to the Adviser’s
current personnel limitations. They further noted the Adviser’s willingness to consider breakpoints in the future at a higher
asset level. After discussion, the Trustees concluded that while no breakpoint levels or fee reductions had been negotiated at
this time, economies of scale would be revisited as the asset size of the Fund increases.

 

Profitability.
The Trustees considered the profits realized by the Adviser in connection with operation of the Fund and whether the amount of
profit was a fair entrepreneurial profit with respect to the advisory services provided to the Fund. The Trustees considered the
slight net profits realized by the Adviser with respect to the Fund over the past 12 months, and they concluded that such profits
were not excessive.

 

Conclusion.
Having requested and received such information from the Adviser as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate
the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee structure
was reasonable and that renewal of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund.

Due to the timing of the contract renewal schedule, these deliberations may or may not relate to the current performance results of the Fund.
