EVERCORE EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Evercore Equity Fund (the "Fund") is the sole series of Wall Street EWM Funds Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 12, 2011. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund is a diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The Fund seeks to produce growth of capital by investing principally in a diversified portfolio of common stocks. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), which require 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 results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
(a)
Investment Valuation- Securities which are traded on a national stock exchange are valued at the last sale price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities traded on the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which there were no transactions are valued at the last sale price. Investments in open-end mutual funds (other than exchange-traded funds) are valued at their respective net asset values ("NAV") on the valuation date.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Fund and its Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating the Fund's NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has designated Evercore Wealth Management, LLC (the "Adviser") as its "Valuation Designee" to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
U.S. GAAP requires disclosures regarding the valuation inputs and techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in such valuation inputs and techniques. The various inputs used in determining the value of each of the Fund's investments are summarized in the following three broad categories:
Level 1 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or 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 on 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.

(b)
Federal Income and Excise Taxes - The Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all net investment company taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
The Fund has adopted financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there is no impact on the Fund's net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Fund is not subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities for tax years prior to the year ended December 31, 2020. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.
(c)
Distributions to Shareholders- Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gain, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
(d)
Securities Transactions and Investment Income- Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial statement purposes. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and regulations.
Distributions received from the Fund's investments in real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and master limited partnerships ("MLPs") may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or a return of capital. The proper characterization of REIT and MLP distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. The Fund must use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions for financial statement purposes. Due to the nature of REIT and MLP investments, a portion of the distributions received by the Fund's shareholders may represent a return of capital. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results of operations or NAV per share.
3. Investment Transactions
The aggregate purchases and sales of securities for the period ended June 30, 2024, excluding short-term investments, were $23,815,882 and $6,443,542, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Adviser, with whom certain trustees and officers of the Fund are also officers and directors of the Adviser. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and reimburse the Fund's other expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the total annual operating expenses (excluding all federal, state and local taxes, interest, dividends and interest on short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and other costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of securities and extraordinary items) do not exceed 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of three fiscal years following the fiscal period during which such waiver or reimbursement was made if such recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time the waiver and reimbursement occurred. As of June 30, 2024, the Adviser has recouped all eligible previously waived expenses.
Mr. Frederick Taylor serves as an Interested Trustee on the Trust as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act because of his association with the Adviser. For his services on the Board of Trustees, Mr. Taylor receives an annual fee of $15,000 from the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)
The basis of investments for tax and financial reporting purposes differs principally due to the deferral of losses on wash sales and C-corporation basis adjustments.
The were no distributions made during the period ended June 30, 2024.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
2023
2022
Ordinary Income
$2,088,290
$1,737,257
Long-Term Capital Gain
$-
$5,112
The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. At December 31, 2023, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryover of $2,046,619, which may be carried forward for an unlimited period under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss arising on the first day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain capital losses which occur during the portion of the Fund's taxable year subsequent to October 31. The Fund does not plan to defer any later year ordinary or post-October capital losses.
7. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
8. Control Ownership
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of June 30, 2024, SEI Private Trust Company, for the benefit of Fund shareholders, owned 80.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that no additional items require recognition or disclosure.
