Dear Shareholders:

This semi-annual report for the Hundredfold Select Alternative Fund considers the period from September 1, 2023 - February 29, 2024. The Hundredfold Select Alternative Fund Investor Class Shares (HFSAX) earned 8.81%, while the Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.35% for the period. The Standard & Poor's 500 Total Return Index returned 13.93%. The Hundredfold Select Alternative Fund Service Class Shares (SFHYX) earned 8.33% during this time.

The Federal Reserve continued to take center stage in September. The Fed Funds Rate remained unchanged at 5.25-5.50%, a 22-year high. A rise in oil prices during the month added fuel to the inflation fire. This led to pressure in both risk-off and risk-on assets. Treasury prices fell to new 52-week lows, continuing to push up yields and, in turn, the US Dollar. The sub-advisor reduced the Fund's exposure in multiple fixed income categories, most significantly in high yield and, to a lesser extent, in floating rate investments. Equity exposure was tactically adjusted throughout the month, ending with lower absolute exposure.

Economic growth, as measured by the October release of Q-3 GDP data, beat expectations. Treasury bond prices touched a new low (yield high) for the rate cycle mid-month before closing the month of October slightly above the worst levels. Most interest sensitive bond sectors followed suit. Economically sensitive fixed income sectors displayed jagged patterns in response to the resilient economy and the pressure being applied to slow it down to dampen inflation. The Fund remained in a mostly defensive stance. The sub-advisor added floating rate investments and then reduced them as momentum faded. Securitized credit investments remained steady at a light exposure. The sub-advisor also added a few modest equity positions in the first half of the month as equity markets gained momentum, and then eliminated the exposure in the second half as markets reversed course.

Interest rates declined and Treasuries rose in November, as investors expressed conviction that the Federal Reserve was in the latter stage of the rate hiking cycle. Trends changed rapidly in both risk-on economically sensitive and risk-off interest sensitive fixed income categories. The sub-advisor adjusted the Fund for the rapid shift in sentiment by adding exposure particularly in high yield and municipal bonds. The sub-advisor increased the Fund's equity exposure as the stock market's technical conditions improved.

Treasury yields fell in December, negatively impacting the US Dollar. The Fed's Chairman Powell expressed concern the market might be prematurely factoring in lower rates; yet bond and equity markets remained resilient. The sub-advisor made only modest adjustments in the Fund's bond holdings, and increased equity exposure to more than 20% of the portfolio as conditions improved throughout the month. Weakness on the last day of the year spurred a reduction in equity exposure.

Treasury yields rose modestly in January as Treasury bond prices eased back. Other interest sensitive bond sectors such as municipals also moved modestly lower. Economically sensitive issues such as high yield and bank loan/floating rate were less affected. The sub-advisor trimmed some municipal exposure and increased high yield and floating rate investments.

Treasury yields rose again in February as the Federal Reserve signaled that a rate lowering cycle should not be expected to begin in early 2024. This helped lift the US Dollar. The sub-advisor made only modest changes to the Fund's portfolio during the month, primarily increasing exposure in floating rate/bank loan investments which had been in a major bull market for more than twelve months.

1

For the entire period, commodities with the exception of Gold, mostly lacked discernable trends as the Fed continued its fight against inflation, resulting in very limited opportunistic trading in this area. The sub-advisor used swaps as substitutes for various underlying reference assets to implement its strategy during the period.

(1) For centrally cleared swaps, when a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap contract, the Fund as a seller of credit protection will either (i) pay a net amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity and receive the reference entity or (ii) pay a net amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity less its recovery value.
(2) For centrally cleared swaps, implied credit spread, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of the credit default swap contracts as of period end, will serve as an indicator of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a reference entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the contract. Generally, wider credit spreads represent a perceived deterioration of the reference entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the swap contract.
(3) For centrally cleared swaps, the notional amounts represents the maximum potential the Fund may pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap contract, for each security included in the reference entity.

The Hundredfold Select Alternative Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Advisors Preferred Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust") organized on August 15, 2012 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund currently offers Service Class Shares and Investor Class Shares with commencement of operations on September 1, 2004 and October 24, 2012, respectively. The Fund was reorganized on August 9, 2019 from a predecessor fund to a series of Advisors Preferred Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is a "fund of funds", in that the Fund will generally invest in other investment companies.

Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the respective Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund's income, expenses (other than class specific distribution and shareholding servicing fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.

The Fund seeks a moderate total rate of return (income plus capital appreciation) on an annual basis. Although the Fund may invest directly in equity and fixed-income securities, it will primarily invest in such securities indirectly through securities that invest in or are a derivative of such securities, primarily including futures contracts, swap agreements, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), naked and covered options on such instruments, currencies, and other unaffiliated investment companies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies. The preparation of the 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 increase and decrease in net assets from operations during the fiscal year. 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's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies".

a) Investment Valuation - Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the 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"). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last bid on the day of valuation. Financial futures, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the last quoted sales price determined by the exchange. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Total return swaps on exchange-listed securities shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices. Exchange listed swaps shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices. Credit default swaps are valued by a pricing agent covering the specific type of swap. Certain credit default swaps ("CDS") and credit indices are valued independently by Markit; or if no valuation is available from a pricing agent, at the price received from the broker-dealer/counterparty that issued the swap. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as "odd lots" and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as "round lots". The Fund may fair value a particular bond if the adviser does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Fund's holding. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

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 committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor and/or sub-advisor. The committee 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.

b) Fair Valuation Process - As noted above, the fair value committee is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, (iii) advisor and/or sub-advisor. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups. 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 advisor and/or sub-advisor, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the advisor and/or sub advisor to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked 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 (a "significant event") since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a 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 advisor 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 advisor and/or sub-advisor is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value committee 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.

Valuation of Fund of Funds - The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the "Underlying Funds"). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value to the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.

Open-ended investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. 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 each Fund will not change.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all 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 that are observable 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.

Consolidation of Subsidiaries - Hundredfold Select Alternative Fund Limited ("HFSA Fund Limited")

The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Hundredfold Select Alternative Fund include the accounts of HFSA Fund Limited, a wholly owned and controlled subsidiary. HFSA Fund Limited is a fund incorporated as an exempted company under the companies' law of the Cayman Islands on June 19, 2018 and is a controlled foreign corporation for tax purposes. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Hundredfold Select Alternative Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a controlled foreign corporation ("CFC") which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies.

c) Swap Contracts - The Fund is subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and counterparty risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, such as total return swaps and portfolio swaps for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, or credit risk. These would be two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments.

Standard equity swap contracts are between two parties that agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross amount to be exchanged is calculated with respect to a "notional amount" (i.e. the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index or industry sector). Most equity swap agreements entered into by the Fund calculate the obligations of the parties on a "net basis". Consequently, a Fund's current obligations under a swap agreement generally will be equal to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative value of the positions held by each party. The Fund's obligations are accrued daily (offset by any amounts owed to the Fund).

In a "long" equity swap agreement, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the Fund the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap contract would have increased in value if the Fund had been invested in the particular securities, plus dividends that would have been received on those securities. The Fund will agree to pay the counterparty a floating rate of interest on the notional amount of the swap contract plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such securities plus, in certain instances, commissions or trading spreads on the notional amounts. Thus, the return on the swap contract should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount. However, in certain instances, market factors such as the interest rate environment and the demand to borrow the securities underlying the swap agreement can cause a scenario in which the counterparty will pay the Fund interest. Payments may be

13

Hundredfold Select Alternative Fund
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
February 29, 2024

made at the conclusion of the contract or periodically during its term. Swap contracts do not include the delivery of securities. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund's obligations over its entitlement with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets, having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained in a segregated account. Until a swap contract is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount are recorded as "unrealized gains or losses on swaps" and when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss is recorded as "realized gains or losses on swaps".

The Fund may enter into swap contracts that provide the opposite return of the particular benchmark or security ("short" the index or security). The operations are similar to that of the swaps disclosed above except that the counterparty pays interest to the Fund on the notional amount outstanding and the dividends on the underlying securities reduce the return of the swap. However, in certain instances, market factors such as the interest rate environment and the demand to borrow the securities underlying the swap agreement can cause a scenario in which the Fund pays the counterparty interest. These amounts are netted with any unrealized appreciation or depreciation to determine the value of the swap. The Fund will typically enter into equity swap agreements in instances where the Advisor believes that it may be more cost effective or practical than buying a security or the securities represented by a particular index.

The Fund may enter into credit default swaps ("CDS"). CDS are typically two-party (bilateral) financial contracts that transfer credit exposure between the two parties. One party to a CDS (referred to as the credit protection "buyer") receives credit protection or sheds credit risk, whereas the other party to a CDS (referred to as the credit protection "seller") is selling credit protection or taking on credit risk. The seller typically receives pre-determined periodic payments from the other party. These payments are in consideration for agreeing to make compensating specific payments to the buyer should a negative credit event occur, such as (1) bankruptcy or (2) failure to pay interest or principal on a reference debt instrument, with respect to a specified issuer or one of the reference issuers in a CDS portfolio. In general, CDS may be used by the Fund to obtain credit risk exposure similar to that of a direct investment in high yield bonds.

The Fund may enter into Interest Rate Swaps. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount. The Funds may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional principal amount.

The amounts to be exchanged or "swapped" between parties are calculated with respect to the notional amount. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The maximum pay-outs for these contracts are limited to the notional amount of each swap. CDS may involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

The Fund collateralizes swap agreements with cash and certain securities, if indicated on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Such collateral is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated account at the Custodian to protect the counterparty against non-payment by the Fund. The Fund does not net collateral. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Fund will seek return of this collateral and may incur certain costs exercising their rights with respect to the collateral. Amounts expected to be owed to the Fund are regularly collateralized either directly with the Fund or in a segregated account at the Custodian.

A Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty to the extent that posted collateral is insufficient. A Fund will enter into swap agreements only with large, well-capitalized and established financial institutions. The creditworthiness of each of the firms that is counterparty to a swap agreement is monitored by the Advisor. The financial statements of these counterparties may be available by accessing the SEC's website, at www.sec.gov.

d) Stock Index Futures Contracts and Options on Futures Contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures contracts and options on such futures contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of equities, interest rates, commodities or foreign currencies. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss 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. As collateral for futures contracts, the Fund is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the market value of the purchase obligation for long futures contracts or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract, but not less than the market price at which the futures contract was established, for short futures contracts.

e) Risks of Options, Futures Contracts, Options on Futures Contracts and Short Positions - The risks inherent in the use of options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and short positions include 1) adverse changes in the value of such instruments; 2) imperfect correlation between the price of options and futures contracts and options thereon and movements in the price of the underlying securities, index or futures contracts; 3) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; 4) the possible need to defer closing out certain positions to avoid adverse tax consequences; and 5) the possible nonperformance by the counterparty under the terms of the contract. The Fund designates all cash, cash equivalents and liquid securities as collateral for futures contracts and options on futures contracts.

f) Exchange Traded Funds - The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs"). Passive ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. A passive ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. A Fund may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

g) Security Transactions and Related Income - Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Fund determines the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes, with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount, and dividends received from money market funds, is recognized on an accrual basis. Upfront payments on Credit Default Swaps are amortized over the life of the contract.

h) 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 (as determined by the Board), taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.

i) Federal Income Taxes - The Fund has complied, and intends to continue to comply, with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income tax. No provision for federal income taxes has been made.

For tax purposes, HFSA Fund Limited ("HFSA") is an exempted Cayman Islands investment company. HFSA has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits, and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, HFSA is a CFC and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned CFC, the net income and capital gain of the CFC, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the respective Fund's investment company taxable income.

The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

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 August 31, 2021 through August 31, 2023 or expected to be taken in the Fund's August 31, 2024 year-end tax returns.

j) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least quarterly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on ex-date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are considered either temporary (e.g., 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. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of the Fund.

k) Indemnifications - 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 risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

l) Market Risks - Unexpected local, regional or global events, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; and recessions and depressions could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair market liquidity. Such events can cause

investor fear, which can adversely affect the economies of nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited)
February 29, 2024

As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held the entire period September 1, 2023 - February 29, 2024.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below; 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 provided under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example 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 balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to 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 transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, 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.

Annualized Beginning Ending Expenses
Expense Account Value Account Value Paid During
Ratio September 1, 2023 February 29, 2024 Period (1)
Service Class
Based on actual fund return 2.20% $1,000.00 $1,083.30 $11.40
Based on hypothetical 5% return 2.20% 1,000.00 1,013.92 11.02
Investor Class
Based on actual fund return 1.29% 1,000.00 1,088.10 6.70
Based on hypothetical 5% return 1.29% 1,000.00 1,018.45 6.47
(1) Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (182), then divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (366).

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Fund has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the "Liquidity Rule") under the Investment Company Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Fund's investment strategies and the liquidity of portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; short and long-term cash flow projections; and cash holdings and access to other funding sources.

During the six months ended February 29, 2024, the Trust's Liquidity Program Administrator ("LPA") and the Board reviewed the Fund's investments and they determined that, generally, the Fund held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Board and the LPA concluded that (i) the Fund's liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Fund's liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.
