Shareholders' Letter (Unaudited) April 30, 2024

Dear Shareholders,

"We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run." - Roy Amara

At Alger, we integrate our focus on change and the uncertainty it brings with a deep commitment to fundamental bottom-up research. As Roy Amara aptly states, we recognize that while the immediate impacts of new technologies like artificial intelligence ("AI") may grab headlines, their long-term effects often hold even greater transformative potential. While attention has been focused on recent stock price action of companies involved in enabling and adopting AI technologies, our focus is on their long-term earnings potential, particularly as AI becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives. In the realm of investing, where uncertainty and change are constants, we base our decisions on forward-looking corporate fundamentals-such as sales, earnings, and cash flow-to generate alpha and foster long-term wealth creation. Our investment approach is centered on identifying companies that we believe are not only positioned for sustained earnings growth but also capable of capitalizing on technological innovations that lead to market disruptions. By focusing on businesses poised to expand their market share and accelerate earnings growth, we strive to create portfolios that reflect growth opportunities amid change and especially positioning our investments for the often-underestimated long-term potential of technological innovations.

Reflecting on the fiscal six-month period ending April 30, 2024, increased confidence in a soft-landing scenario-an economic slowdown without a recession-and continued AI enthusiasm drove U.S. equities higher, with the S&P 500 Index finishing up 20.98%. Companies within the Financials and Information Technology sectors outperformed relative to the S&P 500 Index, while the Real Estate and Utilities sectors underperformed during the period. U.S. equities rose steadily for most of the period but declined in April, precipitated by a shift in market expectations from three anticipated Federal Reserve ("Fed") rate cuts in 2024 to just one, due to higher-than-expected inflation readings, among other inputs. The yield on the U.S. 10-year note began the fiscal six-month period at a peak of 4.90%, then fell by 111 basis points to reach its lowest point of 3.79% on December 27, 2023, before rising to 4.68% by April 30, 2024.

Disinflation emerged as a prominent market theme in the final two months of 2023, boosting equity markets as the October Core Consumer Price Index ("CPI") report came in below consensus estimates. Further, the October Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price ("PCE") Index, the Fed's preferred inflation measure, dropped to its lowest level since March 2021. In late November, Fed Governor Christopher Waller indicated that continued disinflation over the next several months could prompt rate cuts in 2024. This dovish outlook was further supported at the December Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") meeting, where the median projection for the 2024 Federal Funds rate indicated an easing of 75 basis points, with the first rate cut anticipated to be in March 2024.

- 2 -

During the first quarter of 2024, U.S. equities continued their strong rally, largely driven by increased confidence in a soft-landing scenario. Although the January PCE report met expectations, both headline and core CPI figures for that month exceeded estimates, prompting the Fed to postpone the expected March rate cut to June 2024. This cautious approach was affirmed at the March FOMC meeting, where rates were held steady. Despite speculation that the Fed might reduce its rate cut projections following a higher-than-expected February core CPI, the updated Summary of Economic Projections maintained three rate cuts by year's end.

U.S. GDP for the fourth quarter grew by 3.4%, substantially exceeding the initial 2.0% consensus, driven by robust consumer spending. This economic strength was underscored by strong corporate earnings, with many companies reporting better-than-expected fourth-quarter results, thanks to improved profit margins. However, U.S. equities faced a downturn in April after a revision in market expectations. Although six rate cuts were initially anticipated for the year, the projection was lowered to just one following higher-than-expected March CPI figures and a March PCE Index that, while meeting expectations, was deemed too high to start an easing cycle by the Fed.

Among non-U.S. equities, Developed Markets demonstrated strong performance during the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2024, with the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index rising by 17.98%. The Financials and Information Technology sectors outperformed the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index, whereas the Real Estate and Consumer Staples sectors underperformed during the period. Notably, Europe showed encouraging economic growth with moderating inflation, while Japan benefited from well-received corporate governance reforms. Further, the Bank of Japan moved from a negative short-term interest rate policy, reflecting renewed confidence in the economy. In Emerging Markets, technology-focused countries such as Taiwan and Korea displayed strong equity market performance, supported by the ongoing recovery in the semiconductor industry. India also recorded strong results, driven by robust household consumption, moderating inflation, and an uptick in foreign investment, underpinned by strong structural growth from increased government spending and a growing middle class. Consequently, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index climbed 15.56% during the period, with the Financials and Information Technology sectors outperforming, while the Real Estate and Health Care sectors underperformed.

Going Forward

We continue to believe that an unprecedented level of innovation is creating compelling investment opportunities - corporations are digitizing their operations, cloud computing growth continues to support future innovation, and artificial intelligence, which, in our view, is at an inflection point, is potentially enabling significant increases in productivity. In the Health Care sector, we believe that advances in surgical technologies and innovations within biotechnology offer attractive opportunities ahead. As such, we remain committed to deep, fundamental research, as we aim to identify and support the pioneers of these innovations. We believe this approach not only reflects Roy Amara's insight into managing and understanding the near-term excitement around new innovations, but also strategically positions our investments to capitalize on their long-term potential, ultimately fulfilling our shareholders' long-term investment goals.

- 3 -

2024 marks Alger's 60th anniversary in our pursuit of growth investing. Over the past six decades, we have seen much change, including change itself, and believe accelerating change is one of the key reasons why growth stocks have outperformed value investing over the past 20 years. As innovations in areas like artificial intelligence, genomics, and surgical technologies evolve, we see a bright future for our style of growth investing.

Portfolio Matters

Alger Global Focus Fund

Effective February 1, 2024, Redwood Investments, LLC began sub-advising the Alger Global Focus Fund. The Alger Global Focus Fund returned 24.89% for the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2024, compared to the 20.05% return of the MSCI ACWI Index. During the reporting period, the largest sector weightings were Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary. The largest sector overweight was Consumer Discretionary and the largest sector underweight was Communication Services.

Contributors to Performance

The Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors provided the largest contributions to relative performance. Regarding individual positions, NVIDIA Corporation; Eli Lilly and Company; ASML Holding NV; Amazon.com, Inc.; and MakeMyTrip Ltd. were among the top contributors to absolute performance.

NVIDIA is a leading supplier of graphics processing units (GPUs) for a variety of end markets, such as gaming, PCs, data centers, virtual reality and high-performance computing. The company is leading in most secular growth categories in computing, and especially artificial intelligence and super-computing parallel processing techniques for solving complex computational problems. Simply put, NVIDIA's computational power is a critical enabler of AI and therefore critical to AI adoption, in our view. During the period, the company reported strong operating results above analyst expectations, driven by strong demand from data centers. Further, large cloud service providers were over 50% of revenue, and over 40% of data center revenue was due to inference (i.e., trained AI models working on new data, not activity that is training related to the AI). Management also raised their fiscal first quarter guidance, noting that demand is estimated to outstrip supply over the next year. We continue to believe the company is well positioned to potentially benefit from the growing AI data center workloads, which are driving demand for the increased interconnections and fully accelerated software stacks, thereby enabling leading application performance and fast result times.

Detractors from Performance

The Communication Services and Energy sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Verbio SE; BYD Company Ltd.; SLB; Polycab India Ltd.; and Accenture Plc were among the top detractors from absolute performance.

Verbio is a global producer of biodiesel, bioethanol, biomethane and related by-products into fertilizer and animal feed. With its proprietary technology and energy efficiency, Verbio's higher quality products allow for its customers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Coming off a period of high spreads for biodiesel and bioethanol, the company anticipated an earnings re-acceleration coupled with next generation biofuels expansion into the international market. However, the company issued a profit warning during the period, driven by compressed ethanol spreads with low confidence for expansion in the near-term. Given the disappointing operating results, shares detracted from performance.

I thank you for putting your trust in Alger.

Sincerely,

Daniel C. Chung, CFA

The views and opinions of the Fund's management in this report are as of the date of the Shareholders' Letter and are subject to change at any time subsequent to this date. There is no guarantee that any of the assumptions that formed the basis for the opinions stated herein are accurate or that they will materialize. Moreover, the information forming the basis for such assumptions is from sources believed to be reliable; however, there is no guarantee that such information is accurate. Any securities mentioned, whether owned in the Fund or otherwise, are considered in the context of the construction of an overall portfolio of securities and therefore reference to them should not be construed as a recommendation or offer to purchase or sell any such security. Inclusion of such securities in the Fund and transactions in such securities, if any, may be for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, in response to cash flows, inclusion in a benchmark, and risk control. The reference to a specific security should also be understood in such context and not viewed as a statement that the security is a significant holding in the Fund. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for the Fund which is included in this report for a complete list of Fund holdings as of April 30, 2024.

Risk Disclosures

Investing in the stock market involves risks, including the potential loss of principal. 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. Local, regional or global events such as environmental or natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases and similar public health threats, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on investments. 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 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.

For a more detailed discussion of the risks associated with the Fund, please see the prospectus.

ALGER GLOBAL FOCUS FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - General:

Alger Global Focus 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 in the United States and foreign countries. 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).

Alger Group Holdings, LLC the parent company of Fred Alger Management, LLC ("Alger Management" or the "Investment Manager") acquired Redwood Investments, LLC ("Redwood") effective January 31, 2024. Redwood became the sub-advisor to the Fund effective February 1, 2024. No changes were made to the investment objective, principal investment strategies, principal risks or investment restrictions as a result of this change.

On May 23, 2023, the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board") approved the transition of the Fund's custodian and administrator from Brown Brothers Harriman & Company to The Bank of New York (collectively, the "Custodian"). This change became effective on January 29, 2024.

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. 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).

- 21 -

ALGER GLOBAL FOCUS FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

The Board has designated, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Fund's investment adviser, Fred Alger Management, LLC ("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 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 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.

ALGER GLOBAL FOCUS FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

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 the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.


Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar 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, 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 valuations that would have been assigned by the Fund had there been an active market for such securities.

ALGER GLOBAL FOCUS FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include U.S. dollars and foreign cash.

(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.

(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. Dividends from net realized gains, offset by any loss carryforward, are declared and paid annually after the end of the fiscal year in which they were earned. Each share class is treated separately in determining the amount of dividends from net investment income payable to holders of its shares.

ALGER GLOBAL FOCUS FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

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-end and 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 2020-2023. 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) 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. This unaudited Semi-Annual Report reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of results of the semi-annual period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. All such estimates are of a normal recurring nature.

NOTE 3 - Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Investment Advisory Fees: Fees incurred by the Fund, pursuant to the provisions of the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement with the Investment Manager, are payable monthly and computed based on the following rates. The actual rate paid as a percentage of average daily net assets, for the six months ended April 30, 2024, is set forth below under the heading "Actual Rate":

Alger Global FocusFund(a) 0.80 % 0.70 % 0.80 %

(a) Tier 1 rate is paid on assets up to $500 million, Tier 2 rate is paid on assets in excess of $500 million.

The sub-adviser to the Alger Global Focus Fund, Redwood, is paid a sub-advisory fee from the advisory fee that Alger Management receives at no additional cost to the Fund. The sub-advisory fee is equal to 100% of the net management fee paid by the Fund to Alger Management with respect to the assets sub-advised by Redwood. For the six months ended April 30, 2024, Alger Management paid a sub-advisory fee of $7,869 to Redwood.

Alger Management has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse Fund expenses (excluding advisory fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expense on short sales, net borrowing costs, interest, taxes, brokerage and extraordinary expenses, to the extent applicable) through October 31, 2025 to the extent necessary to limit other expenses and any other applicable share class-specific expenses to the rates, based on average daily net assets, as listed in the table below.

(a) Prior to February 29, 2024, Alger Management agreed to waive and/or reimburse Fund expenses for Class A shares and Class I shares to limit operating expenses to 0.70% and 0.45%.

Alger Management may recoup any fees waived or expenses reimbursed pursuant to the contract; however, the Fund will only make repayments to the Investment Manager if such repayment does not cause the Fund's expense ratio after the repayment is taken into account, to exceed both (i) the expense cap in place at the time such amounts were waived or reimbursed, and (ii) the Fund's current expense cap. Such recoupment is limited to two years from the date the amount is initially waived or reimbursed. For the six months ended April 30, 2024, there were no recoupments made by the Investment Manager.

NOTE 7 - Income Tax Information:

At October 31, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards of $224,510. This amount will not be subject to expiration under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, and this amount may be applied against future net realized gains until its utilization.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is determined annually and is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 988 currency transactions, nondeductible expenses on dividends sold short, tax treatment of partnership investments, the realization of unrealized appreciation of passive foreign investment companies, and the return of capital from real estate investment trust investments.

The Fund accrues tax on unrealized gains in foreign jurisdictions that impose a foreign capital tax.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund's securities are revenue and EBITDA multiples, 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 than those noted in the table above. Generally, all other things being equal, increases in revenue and EBITDA multiples, decreases in discount rates, and increases in the probability 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 six months ended April 30, 2024, there were no changes in valuation methodology on Level 3 investments.

NOTE 9 - 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 period or as of April 30, 2024.

NOTE 10 - 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. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions. Local, regional or global events such as environmental or natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases and similar public health threats, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on investments. 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 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.

NOTE 11 - Affiliated Securities:

During the six months ended April 30, 2024, as disclosed in the following table, the Fund held 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the issuers listed below. As such, these issuers were "affiliated persons" of the Fund for purposes of the 1940 Act. Transactions during the six months ended April 30, 2024 with such affiliated persons are summarized below.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, if applicable, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees; and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, if applicable, 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.

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period starting November 1, 2023 and ending April 30, 2024 and held for the entire period.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each class of shares in the table below 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 Six Months Ended April 30, 2024" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for each class of the Fund's shares 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 other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) and redemption fees. Therefore, the second line under each class of shares in 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.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

At a meeting held on December 12, 2023 (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 sub-investment advisory agreement between Fred Alger Management, LLC ("Alger") and Redwood Investments, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser") on behalf of the Fund (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement"), for an initial term through September 2025.

In considering the initial approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board reviewed and considered information provided by Alger and the Sub-Adviser and their representatives at the Meeting. The Trustees noted that it is anticipated that the parent company of Alger will acquire the Sub-Adviser (the "Transaction") and that after such Transaction the Sub-Adviser will become an affiliate of Alger and adopt various policies, procedures, controls, and operations of Alger. The Board reviewed and considered information Alger and the Sub-Adviser provided in response to a request for information that Independent Trustee counsel submitted to Alger and the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Independent Trustees in connection with the Board's consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the services to be provided thereunder are substantially similar to the terms of the existing sub-investment advisory agreement for other series of the Alger Family of Funds.

The Independent Trustees also received advice from, and met separately with, Independent Trustee counsel in considering whether to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from Independent Trustee counsel discussing the legal standards and their duties in considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. In determining whether to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered an opinion of Fund counsel that the appointment of the Sub-Adviser would not constitute an "assignment" of the Fund's investment advisory agreement with Alger, or a material amendment of the advisory agreement, and therefore did not require a vote of the Fund's shareholders on a new or amended investment advisory agreement between the Fund and Alger, and that the Sub-Advisory Agreement did not require approval by the Fund's shareholders.

The Board reviewed the materials provided and considered all of the factors it deemed relevant in initially approving the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, including, but not limited to: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of similarly managed investment strategies managed by the Sub-Adviser; (iii) the estimated costs of the services proposed to be provided by the Sub-Adviser; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows; and (v) whether the proposed fee levels reflect these estimated economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.

ALGER GLOBAL FOCUS FUND

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

In particular, in approving the Sub-Advisory 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 proposed to be provided by the Sub-Adviser to the Fund. This information included, among other things, the qualifications, background and experience of the professional personnel who will perform services for the Fund; the structure of investment professional compensation; short- and long-term investment performance of strategies managed by the Sub-Adviser that are similar to the Fund's strategies; legal and compliance matters; and risk controls.

The Board noted the Sub-Adviser's history and expertise in the "growth" style of investment management, as well as the Sub-Adviser's statements to the Board regarding the Sub-Adviser's consistency in applying its "growth" style investment philosophy and process. The Board also considered the investment approach of the Sub-Adviser, which takes a fundamental, bottom-up research approach to investing in growth equities, similar to that of Alger and Weatherbie Capital, LLC, an affiliate of Alger and sub-advisor to other series of the Alger Family of Funds. The Board noted the length of time the Sub-Adviser has provided services as investment adviser to clients and noted the Sub-Adviser's long-term performance record to support its view on its overall investment capabilities.

Following consideration of such information, the Board determined that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided by Sub-Adviser to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Performance

The Board received and considered information about the Sub-Adviser's investment performance for the investment strategies the Sub-Adviser manages that are similar to the Fund's investment strategies. The Board, however, did not consider the performance history of the Fund under the Sub-Adviser's management because the Sub-Adviser had not yet been appointed to manage the Fund.

Comparative Fees and Expenses

The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by the Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser will be paid by Alger out of the advisory fee Alger receives from the Fund.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

Profitability

The Board then noted that the Sub-Adviser could not report any financial results from its relationship with the Fund because the Sub-Adviser had not yet commenced investment advisory services, and thus, the Board could not evaluate the Sub-Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund. The Board noted Alger's commitment to waive fees and reimburse expenses in order to cap certain "other expenses" of each share class of the Fund during the term of the existing fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement agreement and that the proposed sub-advisory fee payable to the Sub-Adviser would be reduced proportionally in the amount of such fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The Board also considered the extent to which the Sub-Adviser might derive ancillary benefits from Fund operations, including, for example, through soft dollar arrangements.

Economies of Scale

The Board reviewed and considered the extent to which the Sub-Adviser may be able to realize economies of scale, if any, as the Fund grows larger and whether the Fund's advisory fee structure reflects any economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Because the Sub-Adviser had not yet commenced providing investment advisory services to the Fund, the Board determined to monitor whether the Sub-Adviser may share with the Fund any benefits that occur if the Fund experiences economies of scale.

Conclusion

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 Sub-Advisory Agreement between Alger and the Sub-Adviser, effective upon the closing of the Transaction, for an initial term through September 2025.

These policies and procedures recognize that there may be legitimate business reasons for holding 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.

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC semi-annually in shareholder reports on Form N-CSR and after the first and third fiscal quarters as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT. The Fund's Forms N-CSR and N-PORT are available online on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

In addition, the Fund makes publicly available its month-end top 10 holdings with a 10 day lag and its month-end full portfolio with a 60 day lag on its website www.alger.com and through other marketing communications (including printed advertising/sales literature and/or shareholder telephone customer service centers). 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 Trust'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 disclosure, and it considers whether or not the release of information to such third parties is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act (the "Liquidity Rule"), the Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP"), which is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk.

The Board met on December 12, 2023 (the "Meeting") to review the LRMP. The Board previously appointed Alger Management as the program administrator for the LRMP and approved an agreement with ICE Data Services ("ICE"), a third party vendor that assists the Fund with liquidity classifications required by the Liquidity Rule. Alger Management also previously delegated oversight of the LRMP to the Liquidity Risk Committee (the "Committee"). At the Meeting, the Committee, on behalf of Alger Management, provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the LRMP and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, and any material changes to the LRMP (the "Report"). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2023 (the "Review Period").

The Report stated that the Committee assessed the Fund's liquidity risk by considering qualitative factors such as the Fund's investment strategy, holdings, diversification of investments, redemption policies, cash flows, cash levels, shareholder concentration, and access to borrowings, among others, in conjunction with the quantitative classifications generated by ICE. In addition, in connection with the review of the Fund's liquidity risks and the operation of the LRMP and the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation, the Committee also evaluated the levels at which to set the reasonably anticipated trade size ("RATS") and market price impact. The Report described the process for determining that the Fund primarily holds investments that are highly liquid. The Report noted that the Committee also performed stress tests on the Fund and concluded that the Fund remained primarily highly liquid. The Report stated that during the Reporting Period, based on updates to Alger Management's Rule 144A Policy and Procedures, the reporting of Rule 144A securities was updated to reflect the factors used to determine whether such securities, which are deemed illiquid, are liquid and freely tradeable.
