PROPOSAL 1

TO APPROVE A NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY
AGREEMENT FOR THE FUND
You are being asked to approve an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "New Advisory Agreement") between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Mission Investment Advisors LLC (the "New Adviser"), a copy of which is provided in Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement. Additional information about the New Adviser is provided below under the heading "Information About the New Adviser" and in Exhibit B to this Proxy Statement.
Why are shareholders of the Fund being asked to approve the New Advisory Agreement?
As part of a management-led buyout, on February 11, 2024, Aspiration Partners Inc. ("Aspiration Partners"), the parent entity of Aspiration Fund Adviser, LLC (the "Current Adviser"), and MFP Capital Group, Inc. ("MFP Capital Group"), the parent entity of the New Adviser, entered into a purchase agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, Aspiration Partners agreed to sell certain assets related to Aspiration Partners' consumer finance business to MFP Capital Group, including the Aspiration brand and the intellectual property and technology held by Aspiration Partners (the "Transaction"), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the agreement (including obtaining certain third-party consents). Mission Financial Partners LLC ("Mission Financial"), a subsidiary of MFP Capital Group, relatedly has entered into services agreements with Aspiration Partners pursuant to which Mission Financial has agreed to provide operational support to the Current Adviser during this transition period and to oversee the eventual winding down and termination of the Current Adviser. In addition, Mission Financial agreed to offer employment to, and currently does employ, certain employees who were involved in Aspiration Partners' consumer financial business to continue managing the business and the operations of the Current Adviser and the Fund. Aspiration Partners has also granted MFP Capital Group a license to use its intellectual property until the closing of the purchase agreement or such other mutually agreed time.
MFP Capital Group, a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on September 18, 2023 to acquire and restructure Aspiration Partners' consumer finance business as part of a management-led buyout. Timothy L. Newell, the current Chief Executive Officer of the Current Adviser and the head of its consumer finance business, is the sole shareholder of MFP Capital Group. The New Adviser, a Delaware limited liability company, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MFP Capital Group. The New Adviser was formed on December 7, 2023 to serve as the investment manager to the Fund.
The Board approved the New Advisory Agreement at meeting held on December 18, 2023.
What are the terms of the New Advisory Agreement?
The form of the New Advisory Agreement is attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement. The description in this section of the terms of the New Advisory Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to that exhibit. The terms of the New Advisory Agreement approved by the Board and proposed for shareholder approval are similar to the last investment advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund (the "Previous Advisory Agreement") except for the structure of the management fee (discussed in more detail below). In addition, if the New Advisory Agreement is approved by shareholders, the New Adviser will replace the Current Adviser as the investment manager to the Fund and, in that capacity, the New Adviser will oversee the investment performance, operations and compliance of UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"). The services to be provided by the New Adviser under the New Advisory Agreement are intended to be identical to the services provided by the Current Adviser.
1
Under the New Advisory Agreement, the New Adviser will, subject to the supervision of the Board, provide a program of continuous investment management for the Fund in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and limitations. The Previous Advisory Agreement contained identical provisions.
The New Advisory Agreement will run for an initial term of two years and may be renewed annually thereafter so long as it is approved by a majority of the Fund's Trustees, including a majority of the Fund's Independent Trustees, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Like the Previous Advisory Agreement, the New Advisory Agreement is terminable as to the Fund at any time without penalty on 60 days' written notice by the Trust or by the New Adviser. The New Advisory Agreement also contains a provision that it will automatically terminate in the event of any "assignment," as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").
The Fund is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair the financial ability of the New Adviser to fulfill its commitment to the Fund under the New Advisory Agreement.
When was the Fund's advisory agreement last approved by shareholders?
The shareholders of the Fund last approved a prior advisory agreement with respect to the Fund on December 15, 2015.
A transfer of shares of Aspiration Partners, the parent entity of the Current Adviser, occurred on June 26, 2023, that could be deemed an assignment of the Previous Advisory Agreement for purposes of the 1940 Act and therefore resulting in the automatic termination of the agreement. To provide continuity in the operation of the Fund, on November 25, 2023, the Board approved an Interim Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser, (the "Initial Interim Advisory Agreement"), that substantively met the requirements of Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act and SEC staff guidance, other than the condition that the interim agreement be approved before the previous agreement is terminated. The Initial Interim Advisory Agreement had identical terms and conditions as the Previous Advisory Agreement, except for the effective and termination dates, a provision requiring that the advisory fees payable to the Current Adviser during the 150-day period following the June 26, 2023 share transfer be held in escrow consistent with the requirements of Rule 15a-4, and other immaterial changes. The Board approved the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement with an effective date of June 26, 2023 and a termination date of January 9, 2024. The Initial Interim Advisory Agreement also contained a provision that it would automatically terminate in the event of any "assignment," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. After the 150-day period expired, the Current Adviser was no longer entitled to receive compensation for the services it provided to the Fund. The advisory fees continue to be held in escrow in an interest-bearing account pending shareholder approval of the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement.
At a meeting held on December 18, 2023, the Board called a shareholder meeting to consider the approval of the New Advisory Agreement. To provide additional time for the Fund to solicit shareholders to consider the New Advisory Agreement, on December 18, 2023, the Board unanimously approved a Second Interim Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Second Interim Advisory Agreement") with an initial termination date of March 31, 2024, and the Board subsequently has approved extensions to the term of the agreement. The Second Interim Advisory Agreement substantively meets the requirements of Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act and SEC staff guidance, other than the condition that the interim agreement be approved before the previous agreement is terminated. The Second Interim Advisory Agreement has identical terms and conditions as the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement, except for the effective and termination dates. The Second Interim Advisory Agreement also contains a provision that it will automatically terminate in the event of any "assignment," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. The Interim Advisory Agreement will terminate in the event that shareholders of the Fund approve the New Advisory Agreement. The Fund is relying on SEC staff guidance for the Second Interim Advisory Agreement to be effective. Consistent with the SEC staff guidance, the Current Adviser has agreed that it will not take any compensation under the Second Interim Advisory Agreement.
How would the New Adviser be compensated for its services to the Fund under the New Advisory Agreement?
Under the Previous Advisory Agreement, the Current Adviser was entitled to an annual advisory fee of 0.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Current Adviser has not imposed a set fee to manage individual advisory accounts with respect to the Fund. Instead, advisory clients have been permitted to pay the Current Adviser a fee in the amount they believe is fair to manage their individual advisory accounts (or "Pay What Is Fair"), and only investors who were advisory clients of the Fund's Current Adviser have been permitted to invest in the Fund. However, the New Advisory Agreement will remove the Pay What is Fair Program and, unlike the Previous Advisory Agreement, the New Adviser would be entitled to receive a fixed advisory fee, quarterly in arrears, from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The New Adviser would no longer receive fees from the individual advisory accounts and would instead receive its fee directly from the Fund, and investors would not be required to be advisory clients of the New Adviser to invest in the Fund.
The following table compares the amount of advisory fees earned by the Current Adviser for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 under the Pay What is Fair model to a hypothetical example of advisory fees that would have been paid by the Fund to the New Adviser for the same period under the New Advisory Agreement and also shows the percentage difference between the actual and hypothetical values:

*The Current Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement ("Agreement") with the Fund under which it has agreed to waive or reduce its management fees and assume other expenses of the Fund in an amount that limits the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to 0.95% ("Maximum Operating Expense Limit"). As discussed in more detail below, the Board has approved an increase in the expense limit in connection with the approval of the New Advisory Agreement. The Current Adviser implements the expense limit by reimbursing the Fund for certain direct expenses and fees, such as transfer agency, custodial, auditing and legal fees. The Fund also incurs certain indirect expenses, and expenses paid by the Fund when it invests as a shareholder in underlying investment companies. The Current Adviser has not agreed to waive or reimburse brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments, borrowing costs, taxes, or extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses. Because the Current Adviser is not obligated under the Agreement to pay these expenses, the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses may exceed the Maximum Operating Expense Limit. The Agreement is in effect through January 31, 2025, unless earlier terminated by a majority of the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or the "Trustees") who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or a majority vote of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust. The Agreement will be amended as discussed below if the New Advisory Agreement is approved. Any fees or expenses waived or reimbursed by the Adviser are subject to repayment by the Fund within three years following the date on which waiver or reimbursement occurred if the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding its current Maximum Operating Expense Limit or the Maximum Operating Expense Limit in place at the time of the waiver and/or reimbursement. Prior to April 1, 2023, the Maximum Operating Expense Limit was 0.50%.
3
At a meeting held on December 18, 2023, the Board approved an increase in the Fund's expense limit from 0.95% to 1.35%, to take effect upon shareholder approval of the New Advisory Agreement and to continue through January 31, 2026. The Board noted that the current expense limit of 0.95% did not include an advisory fee and, in connection with the proposed increase of the investment advisory fee paid by the Fund from 0.00% to 0.50%, the Board approved the increase to the expense limit to account for most of the increase in that fee. The Board also determined, based on information provided by the New Adviser, that the increase in the expense limit would help enhance the long-term viability of the Fund, in part by allowing the New Adviser to earn compensation at a level that may permit the continuation of advisory services to be provided to the Fund.
How does the Proposal affect shareholders of the Fund?
Other than the change in the management fee structure and the expense limitation agreement, the Transaction and the New Advisory Agreement are not expected to have any material effect on shareholders of the Fund. The change to the management fee structure will affect shareholders by no longer allowing them to set their advisory fees and may result in the advisory fees charged by the Fund at a rate that is higher than a shareholder would pay under the Pay What is Fair model. The goal of these changes and the Transaction is to enhance the long-term viability of the Fund and increase its attractiveness to investors and distribution channels while preserving similar advisory service levels. In particular, the material terms of the New Advisory Agreement are identical to those of the Previous Advisory Agreement, except for the advisory fee structure. No changes are proposed to the level of services that the Current Adviser currently provides, and that the New Adviser will provide, to the Fund. Assuming that the Proposals are approved by shareholders, UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the current sub-adviser to the Fund, will continue to serve as the sub-adviser to the Fund under the oversight of the New Adviser, and Joseph Elegante and Adam Jokich, the current portfolio managers, will continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. Further, there are no changes contemplated to be made to the Fund's investment objectives or principal investment strategies. See Exhibit D for additional detail on the Fund's expenses.
What if the Fund's shareholders do not approve the New Advisory Agreement?
Should the Fund's shareholders not approve the New Advisory Agreement, the Board will consider what other action is necessary, appropriate and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders under the circumstances, including, among other things, a liquidation of the Fund.
What did the Board consider when approving the New Advisory Agreement?
At a meeting of the Board held on December 18, 2023, the Trustees approved the New Advisory Agreement with the New Adviser in anticipation of the Transaction. Prior to the December 18, 2023 meeting, the Board requested, and the Current Adviser provided, information about the Transaction. Representatives of the Current Adviser also provided an overview of the Transaction to, and responded to questions from, the Trustees. The Current Adviser also confirmed that the executive team and portfolio managers serving the Fund would not change as a result of the Transaction. In considering whether to approve the New Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed and considered the information they deemed reasonably necessary with respect to the New Advisory Agreement, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the New Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and fall-out benefits to be realized by the New Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Fund; (iv) the projected profitability of the New Adviser; and (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether management fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund's investors. The Trustees also noted that they had reviewed other pertinent information. The Board also reviewed, among other materials, a copy of the form of the New Advisory Agreement.
4
In deciding whether to approve the New Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
(i)Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees noted that they had considered the responsibilities of the Current Adviser under the Previous Advisory Agreement and that the responsibilities of the New Adviser under the New Advisory Agreement would be substantially the same. The Trustees also evaluated the anticipated staffing, personnel, and methods of operation and the financial condition of the New Adviser and the background and experience of its personnel. After reviewing the foregoing information and other information provided by the New Adviser, the Board concluded that the New Adviser is capable of providing satisfactory investment management services for the Fund.
(ii)Performance. The Board considered that all of the portfolio managers and other key investment personnel currently managing the Fund are expected to continue to do so following the Transaction. The Trustees considered the performance of the Fund over various historical periods and compared it with the performance of its benchmark index, comparable funds with similar strategies managed by other investment advisers, and applicable peer group data (e.g., peer group averages provided by Broadridge). Based on this information, the Board concluded that the New Adviser, in supervising the Sub-Adviser, is capable of generating investment performance that is appropriate for the Fund in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies.
(iii)Fees and Expenses; Fall-out Benefits to the New Adviser. The Board considered the proposed fees and expenses of the Fund in connection with the New Adviser's management of the Fund under the New Advisory Agreement, including any fall-out benefits derived by the New Adviser and its affiliates resulting from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the projected financial condition of the New Adviser; the level of commitment to the Fund and the New Adviser by the principals of the New Adviser; the asset levels of the Fund; the overall expenses of the Fund; and the nature and frequency of management fee payments. The Trustees reviewed financial projections for the New Adviser and discussed its financial stability following the Transaction. The Trustees also considered the potential benefits for the New Adviser in managing the Fund, including promotion of the New Adviser's name. The Trustees concluded that other benefits derived by New Adviser from its relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees compared the fees and expenses of the Fund (including the management fees) to those of a peer group of other funds comparable in terms of the type of fund, the nature of its investment strategy, and its style of investment management, among other factors. The Trustees discussed the changes to the Fund's expense limit, including the nature and scope of such expenses. Upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the increase in management fee to be paid by the Fund to the New Adviser was fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the New Adviser and that it reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm's length.
5
(iv)Profitability. The Trustees considered the projected profitability of the New Adviser in connection with the investment management services to be provided to the Fund under the New Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the projected profitability of the New Adviser depends on its ability to enhance the attractiveness of the Fund to investors and distribution channels and that these goals may be difficult to achieve. The Trustees recognized the competitiveness of the mutual fund industry and the importance of an investment adviser's long-term profitability, including for maintaining company and management stability, and that the Current Adviser believes that the Transaction is necessary for the Fund to be sustainable in the long term. The Board noted that the provision of services by the Current Adviser had not been profitable. Based on this information, the Board determined that the projected profitability of the New Adviser was not excessive.
(v)Economies of Scale. The Board evaluated potential or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services that the New Adviser would provide to the Fund under the New Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that at this time, the Fund was a relatively small size and economies of scale were unlikely to be achieved in the near future. The Trustees noted that the proposed fee structure under the New Advisory Agreement provides for a flat percentage rate, and that should assets under management grow to substantially higher levels, economies of scale may begin to take effect and benefit the New Adviser. The Board noted that at such future time, it may be appropriate for the Board to review the fee structure to determine whether the management fees as a percent of assets under management might be reduced.
Based upon all of the foregoing considerations, and after further discussion and careful review, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the New Advisory Agreement for the Fund.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, INCLUDING ALL OF THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT. SIGNED BUT UNMARKED PROXIES WILL BE SO VOTED.

PROPOSAL 2

TO APPROVE A NEW SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY
AGREEMENT FOR THE FUND
You are being asked to approve a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement (the "New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement") between the New Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, with respect to the Fund, a copy of which is provided in Exhibit E to this Proxy Statement.
Why are shareholders of the Fund being asked to approve the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement?
The Sub-Adviser currently serves as sub-adviser to the Fund pursuant to an Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between the Current Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. If shareholders approve Proposal 1, the New Adviser will replace the Current Adviser as the investment manager to the Fund. In connection with the New Adviser replacing the Current Adviser, the interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement would terminate, and the Sub-Adviser would need to enter into a sub-investment advisory agreement with the New Adviser to continue serving as the sub-adviser to the Fund. Shareholder approval of the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement will allow the Sub-Adviser to continue providing sub-advisory services to the Fund.
What are the terms of the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement?
The form of the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement is attached as Exhibit E to this Proxy Statement. The description in this section of the terms of the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to that exhibit. The terms of the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement approved by the Board and proposed for shareholder approval are the same as the prior Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement except for the rate of the sub-advisory fee payable to the Sub-Adviser, which, consistent with the prior Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, will be paid by the New Adviser and will not be paid by the Fund. The services provided by the Sub-Adviser under the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement will be identical to the services provided by the Sub-Adviser under the prior Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement.
Under the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will, subject to the supervision of the New Adviser, provide a program of continuous investment management for the Fund in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and limitations. The prior Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement contained identical provisions.
The New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement will run for an initial term of two years and may be renewed annually thereafter so long as it is approved by a majority of the Fund's Trustees, including a majority of the Fund's Independent Trustees, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Like the prior Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the New Advisory Agreement is terminable as to the Fund at any time without penalty on 60 days' written notice by the Trust or by the Adviser. The New Advisory Agreement also contains a provision that it will automatically terminate in the event of any "assignment," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act.
7
The Fund is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair the financial ability of the Sub-Adviser to fulfill its commitment to the Fund under the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement.
When was the Fund's sub-investment advisory agreement last approved by shareholders?
The shareholders of the Fund last approved a prior advisory agreement with respect to the Fund on November 15, 2015. The Fund obtained regulatory authority to hire one or more additional sub-advisers to manage portions of the Fund's portfolio without obtaining the approval of Fund shareholders.
As previously discussed, a transfer of shares of Aspiration Partners, the parent entity of the Current Adviser, occurred on June 26, 2023, that could be deemed an assignment of the previous Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement for purposes of the 1940 Act and therefore resulting in the automatic termination of the agreement. To provide continuity in the operation of the Fund, the Board approved an Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between the Current Adviser and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund on November 25, 2023 (the "Initial Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement"). The Initial Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement had identical terms and conditions as the previous Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, except for the effective and termination dates and other immaterial changes. The Board approved the Initial Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with an effective date of June 26, 2023 and a termination date of January 9, 2024. The Initial Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement also contained a provision that it would automatically terminate in the event of any "assignment," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act.
At a meeting held on December 18, 2023, the Board called a shareholder meeting to consider the approval of the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement. To provide additional time for the Fund to solicit shareholders to consider the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, on December 18, 2023, the Board unanimously approved a Second Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Second Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement") with an initial termination date of March 31, 2024, and the Board subsequently has approved extensions to the term of the agreement. The Second Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement has identical terms and conditions as the Initial Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, except for the effective and termination dates. The Second Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement also contains a provision that it will automatically terminate in the event of any "assignment," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. The Second Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement will terminate in the event that shareholders of the Fund approve the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement.
How would the Sub-Adviser be compensated for its services to the Fund under the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement?
Under the previous Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Initial Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement and the Second Interim Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Current Adviser agreed to pay the Sub-Adviser 50% of the advisory fees received by the Current Adviser in respect of the Fund on the first $250 million, 30% of the advisory fees received by the Current Adviser on the next $750 million, and 20% of the advisory fees received by the Current Adviser on the amounts thereafter.
8
Under the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the New Adviser will pay the Sub-Adviser a sub-advisory fee, quarterly in arrears, at an annual rate based on the average daily nets asset of the Fund of 0.17% on the first $175 million of net assets, and 0.15% on assets over $175 million.
The following table compares the actual sub-advisory fees paid by the Current Adviser to the Sub-Adviser for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 to a hypothetical example of sub-advisory fees that would have been paid by the New Adviser to the Sub-Adviser for the same period under the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, and also shows the percentage difference between the actual and hypothetical values.

How does the Proposal affect shareholders of the Fund?
The New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement is not expected to have any material effect on shareholders of the Fund.
In particular, the material terms of the New Advisory Agreement are identical to those of the previous Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, except for the sub-advisory fee. No changes are proposed to the level of services that the Sub-Adviser currently provides to the Fund. Assuming the Proposals are approved by shareholders, UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the current sub-adviser to the Fund, will continue to serve as the sub-adviser to the Fund under the oversight of the New Adviser, and Joseph Elegante and Adam Jokich, the current portfolio managers, will continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. Further, there are no changes contemplated to be made to the Fund's investment objectives or principal investment strategies.
What if the Fund's shareholders do not approve the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement?
Should the Fund's shareholders not approve the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board will consider what other action is necessary, appropriate and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders under the circumstances, including, among other things, a liquidation of the Fund.
What did the Board consider when approving the New Sub-Advisory Agreement?
At a meeting of the Board held on December 18, 2023, the Trustees approved the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with the Sub-Adviser in anticipation of the Transaction. In considering whether to approve the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed and considered the information they deemed reasonably necessary with respect to the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Adviser; (ii) investment performance of the Fund and Sub-Adviser; (iii) the costs of the services provided and fall-out benefits realized by the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; (iv) the profitability of the Sub-Adviser; and (v) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund's investors.
9
The Board reviewed the information prepared by the Sub-Adviser relating to the approval of the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, including the Sub-Adviser's Form ADV, experience, profitability with respect to the Fund, financial strength and capability, and other pertinent information. The Board also reviewed, among other materials, the Sub-Adviser's income statement, fee and performance comparisons, and a copy of the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement.
In deciding whether to approve the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
(i)Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees noted that they had considered the responsibilities of the Sub-Adviser under the previous Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement and that those responsibilities would not change under the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by the Sub-Adviser to the Fund including, without limitation, the quality of its investment advisory services since the Fund's inception (including research and recommendations with respect to portfolio securities) and its procedures for formulating investment recommendations and assuring compliance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies, and limitations. The Trustees evaluated: the Sub-Adviser's staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the background and experience of the Sub-Adviser's personnel; the Sub-Adviser's compliance program; and the financial condition of the Sub-Adviser.
After reviewing the foregoing information and further information in the memorandum from the Sub-Adviser (e.g., descriptions of the Sub-Adviser's business, the Sub-Adviser's compliance program, and the Sub-Adviser's Form ADV), the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services being provided by the Sub-Adviser were satisfactory for the Fund.
(ii)Performance. The Trustees compared the performance of the Fund with the performance of its benchmark index, comparable funds with similar strategies managed by other investment advisers, and applicable peer group data (e.g., peer group averages provided by Broadridge). The Trustees also considered the consistency of the Sub-Adviser's management of the Fund with its investment objective, policies and limitations. After reviewing the investment performance of the Fund, the Sub-Adviser's experience managing the Fund, the Sub-Adviser's historical investment performance, and other factors, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Fund and the Sub-Adviser was satisfactory. The Trustees evaluated the Sub-Adviser's compliance program; the asset level of the Fund; and the overall expenses of the Fund.
10
(iii)Fees and Expenses; Fall-out Benefits to the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees compared the proposed fees for the Sub-Adviser to those of other funds comparable in terms of the type of fund, the nature of its investment strategy, and its style of investment management, among other factors. The Trustees also considered potential benefits for the Sub-Adviser in managing the Fund, including promotion of the Sub-Adviser's name and the potential for the Sub-Adviser to generate soft dollars from Fund trades that may benefit the Sub-Adviser's other clients. Following discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid by the Fund to the Sub-Adviser were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Adviser and that they reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm's length.
(iv)Profitability. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fee is the product of arm's-length negotiation between the New Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and will be paid by the New Adviser and not the Fund. As a result, the Board focused on the projected profitability of the New Adviser with respect to the Fund.
(v)Economies of Scale. The Board evaluated potential or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services that the Sub-Adviser would provide to the Fund under the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the Fund's operational history and considered that the Fund was a relatively small size. The Board also considered the Sub-Adviser's sub-advisory fee schedule and the existence of breakpoints. The Trustees concluded that the Fund's proposed fee structure reflected an appropriate sharing of any efficiencies or economies of scale that are expected to be realized by the Sub-Adviser and noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine the appropriateness of the fee paid to the Sub-Adviser in light of any economies of scale experienced in the future.
Based upon all of the foregoing considerations, and after further discussion and careful review, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the New Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, INCLUDING ALL OF THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED NEW SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT. SIGNED BUT UNMARKED PROXIES WILL BE SO VOTED.

PROPOSAL 3

TO RATIFY AND APPROVE THE INTERIM INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT, DATED NOVEMBER 25, 2023, BETWEEN THE TRUST, ON BEHALF OF THE FUND, AND ASPIRATION FUND ADVISER, LLC
You are being asked to ratify and approve an Interim Investment Advisory Agreement, dated November 25, 2023, between the Current Adviser and the Trust, with respect to the Fund, a copy of which is provided in Exhibit F to this Proxy Statement.
As previously discussed, a transfer of shares of Aspiration Partners, the parent entity of the Current Adviser, occurred on June 26, 2023, that could be deemed an assignment of the Previous Advisory Agreement for purposes of the 1940 Act and therefore resulting in the automatic termination of the agreement.
Section 15 of the 1940 Act, requires an advisory agreement with a registered investment company to automatically terminate in the event of the assignment of the agreement. An assignment of an advisory agreement under the 1940 Act includes any transaction that results in a change in control of the investment adviser. In the event of an assignment and termination of an advisory agreement with a registered investment company, a fund must arrange for a new advisory agreement to be approved by the fund's board of trustees and by shareholders pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act. Section 15 requires that any investment advisory agreement be in writing and be approved initially by both: (i) the fund's board of trustees (including a majority of those trustees who are not considered to be "interested persons" of the fund or a party to the agreement, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) and (ii) the fund's shareholders. The 1940 Act allows investment advisory agreements to have an initial term of two years and to be renewable annually thereafter by the vote of a majority of the fund's trustees, including a majority of its independent trustees. Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act provides a temporary exemption from the shareholder approval requirement after the termination of an advisory contract under certain circumstances and conditions.
To provide continuity in the operation of the Fund, the Board approved the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Current Adviser, on November 25, 2023, that substantively met the requirements of Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act and SEC staff guidance, other than the condition that the interim agreement be approved before the previous agreement is terminated. The Initial Interim Advisory Agreement had identical terms and conditions as the Previous Advisory Agreement, except for the effective and termination dates, a provision requiring that the advisory fees payable to the Current Adviser during the 150-day period following the June 26, 2023 change of control be held in escrow consistent with the requirements of Rule 15a-4, and other immaterial changes. The Board approved the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement with an effective date of June 26, 2023 and a termination date of January 9, 2024. The Initial Interim Advisory Agreement also contained a provision that it would automatically terminate in the event of any "assignment," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. After the 150-day period expired, the Current Adviser was no longer entitled to receive compensation for the services it provided to the Fund. The advisory fees continue to be held in escrow in an interest-bearing account pending shareholder approval of the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement.

12
How does the Proposal affect shareholders of the Fund?
Ratification and approval of the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement is not expected to have any material effect on shareholders of the Fund. The Initial Interim Advisory Agreement was terminated by the Board on December 18, 2023 and replaced by the Second Interim Advisory Agreement. The Fund's shareholders are being asked to ratify and approve the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement to confirm the Current Adviser's authority under that Agreement and to confirm that the Current Adviser will be entitled to receive from the advisory fees that were already paid by shareholders and are currently held in escrow the lesser of: (i) any costs the Current Adviser incurred in performing the interim agreement (plus interest earned on that amount while in escrow); or (ii) the total amount in the escrow account (plus interest earned).
What if the Fund's shareholders do not approve the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement?
Should the Fund's shareholders not ratify and approve the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement, the advisory fees plus any interest currently held in escrow will be returned to the shareholders that paid the advisory fees.
What did the Board consider when approving the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement?
At a meeting of the Board held on November 25, 2023, the Trustees approved the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement with the Current Adviser. Prior to the November 25, 2023 meeting, the Board requested, and the Current Adviser provided, information about the June 26, 2023 change of control. In considering whether to approve the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed and considered the information they deemed reasonably necessary with respect to the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Current Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and Current Adviser; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and fall-out benefits to be realized by the Current Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Fund; (iv) the profitability of the Current Adviser; and (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund's investors.
In considering the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement, the Trustees took into consideration the information that had been provided to them throughout the year and, in particular, at their December 22, 2022 meeting, at which the Trustees most recently considered and approved the Previous Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed, among other things, a copy of the form of the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement, noting that it was substantially the same as the Previous Advisory Agreement, except for the effective and termination dates, a provision requiring that the advisory fees payable to the Current Adviser during the 150-day period following the June 26, 2023 change of control be held in escrow consistent with the requirements of Rule 15a-4, and other immaterial changes.
In deciding whether to approve the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
13
(i)Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees noted that they had considered the responsibilities of the Current Adviser under the Previous Advisory Agreement and that those responsibilities would not change under the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by the Current Adviser to the Fund including, without limitation, the quality of its investment advisory services since the Fund's inception; its procedures for overseeing the Sub-Adviser's investment process and decisions, and assuring compliance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and limitations; its coordination of services for the Fund among the Fund's service providers; and its efforts to promote the Fund, grow the Fund's assets and assist in the distribution of the Fund's shares. The Trustees also evaluated: the Current Adviser's staffing, personnel, and methods of operation; the background and experience of the Current Adviser's personnel; the Current Adviser's compliance program; and the financial condition of the Current Adviser. The Trustees also considered that the Current Adviser is expected to continue providing the same level of compliance operational support to the Fund under the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement. After reviewing the foregoing information and further information from the Current Adviser, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Current Adviser were satisfactory and adequate for the Fund.
(ii)Performance. The Trustees considered that they had previously compared the performance of the Fund with the performance of its benchmark index, comparable funds with similar strategies managed by other investment advisers, and applicable peer group data (e.g., peer group averages provided by Broadridge); the consistency of the Current Adviser's management of the Fund with its investment objective, policies and limitations; the short-term investment performance of the Fund; the Current Adviser's experience overseeing the management of the Fund; and the Current Adviser's historical investment performance. Upon further consideration, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Fund and the Current Adviser was satisfactory.
(iii)Fees and Expenses; Fall-out Benefits to the Current Adviser. The Board considered the fees and expenses in connection with the Current Adviser's management of the Fund, including any fall-out benefits derived by the Current Adviser and its affiliates resulting from its relationship with the Fund. In considering the costs of the services provided by the Current Adviser and the benefits derived by the Current Adviser and its affiliates, the Trustees noted that the management fee for the Fund is 0% of average daily net assets, with shareholders being made up entirely of clients of the Current Adviser, and that those clients pay the Current Adviser directly, rather than through the Fund via a management fee charged to the Fund. The Trustees noted that the clients of the Current Adviser may choose to pay the Current Adviser between 0% and 2%. The Trustees considered the Current Adviser's staffing, personnel, and methods of operation; the background and experience of the Current Adviser's personnel; the Current Adviser's compliance program; the financial condition of the Current Adviser; the level of commitment to the Fund and the Current Adviser by the principals of the Current Adviser; the asset levels of the Fund; the overall expenses of the Fund, including certain prior fee waivers and reimbursements by the Current Adviser; and the nature and frequency of advisory fee payments. The Trustees also considered the potential benefits for the Current Adviser in managing the Fund, including the promotion of the Current Adviser's name and the ability for the Current Adviser to place small accounts into the Fund. The Trustees considered that they had previously compared the fees and expenses of the Fund (including the management fees) to other funds comparable in terms of the type of fund, the nature of its investment strategy, and its style of investment management, among other factors, in connection with the approval of the Previous Advisory Agreement. Upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that, due to the Current Adviser's receipt of payment directly from its clients, the lack of fees to be paid to the Current Adviser by the Fund was fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Current Adviser and that it reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm's length.
14
(iv)Profitability. The Trustees considered that they had previously reviewed the Current Adviser's profitability in connection with its management of the Fund in connection with the renewal of the Previous Advisory Agreement, and they noted the Current Adviser's representation that the management of the Fund was not profitable to the Current Adviser. The Board considered the quality of the Current Adviser's service to the Fund, in connection with the Current Adviser's "Pay What Is Fair" model.
(v)Economies of Scale. The Trustees noted that the Fund does not have a traditional advisory fee. The Trustees noted that shareholders would benefit from their ability to individually allocate between 0.0% and 2.0% of the net asset value of their account per year as payment to the Current Adviser. The Trustees noted that, in connection with their review of the Previous Advisory Agreement, they had previously reviewed the Fund's operational history (and noted that the size of the Fund had not provided an opportunity to realize economies of scale) and noted that the Fund was a relatively small size and economies of scale were unlikely to be achieved during the term of the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement. Following further discussion of the Fund's asset levels and expectations for growth, the Board determined that the Fund's fee arrangements were fair and reasonable at the present time in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Current Adviser.
Based upon all of the foregoing considerations, and after further discussion and careful review, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement for the Fund.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, INCLUDING ALL OF THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF THE INITIAL INTERIM ADVISORY AGREEMENT. SIGNED BUT UNMARKED PROXIES WILL BE SO VOTED.

PROPOSAL 4

TO RATIFY AND APPROVE THE SECOND INTERIM INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT, DATED DECEMBER 18, 2023, BETWEEN THE TRUST, ON BEHALF OF THE FUND, AND ASPIRATION FUND ADVISER, LLC
You are being asked to ratify and approve a Second Interim Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, with respect to the Fund, a copy of which is provided in Exhibit G to this Proxy Statement.
As previously discussed, on February 11, 2024, Aspiration Partners, the parent entity of the Current Adviser, and MFP Capital Group, the parent entity of the New Adviser, entered into a purchase agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, Aspiration Partners agreed to sell certain assets to MFP Capital Group, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (including obtaining certain third party consents). Mission Financial, a subsidiary of MFP Capital Group, relatedly has entered into services agreements with Aspiration Partners pursuant to which Mission Financial has agreed to provide operational support to the Current Adviser during this transition period and to oversee the eventual winding down and termination of the Current Adviser. As discussed in Proposal 1, shareholders are being asked to approve a New Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the New Adviser.
At a meeting held on December 18, 2023, the Board called a shareholder meeting to consider the approval of the New Advisory Agreement. To provide additional time for the Fund to solicit shareholders to consider the New Advisory Agreement, on December 18, 2023, the Board unanimously approved the Second Interim Advisory Agreement with an initial termination date of March 31, 2024, and the Board subsequently has approved extensions to the term of the agreement. The Second Interim Advisory Agreement substantively meets the requirements of Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act and SEC staff guidance, other than the condition that the interim agreement be approved before the previous agreement is terminated. The Second Interim Advisory Agreement has identical terms and conditions as the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement, except for the effective and termination dates. The Second Interim Advisory Agreement also contains a provision that it will automatically terminate in the event of any "assignment," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. The Interim Advisory Agreement will terminate in the event that shareholders of the Fund approve the New Advisory Agreement. The Fund is relying on SEC staff guidance for the Second Interim Advisory Agreement to be effective. Consistent with the SEC staff guidance, the Current Adviser has agreed that it will not take any compensation under the Second Interim Advisory Agreement.
How does the Proposal affect shareholders of the Fund?
Ratification and approval of the Second Interim Advisory Agreement is not expected to have any material effect on shareholders of the Fund. The Second Interim Advisory Agreement will terminate upon the approval by shareholders of the Fund of the New Advisory Agreement. The Fund's shareholders are being asked to ratify and approve the Second Interim Advisory Agreement to confirm the Current Adviser's authority under that Agreement.
16
What if the Fund's shareholders do not approve the Second Interim Advisory Agreement?
Should the Fund's shareholders not ratify and approve the Second Interim Advisory Agreement, the Board will consider what other action is necessary, appropriate and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders under the circumstances.
What did the Board consider when approving the Second Interim Advisory Agreement?
At a meeting of the Board held on December 18, 2023, the Trustees approved the Second Interim Advisory Agreement with the Current Adviser. In considering whether to approve the Second Interim Advisory Agreement, the Trustees noted that the primary goal of approving the Second Interim Advisory Agreement was to permit sufficient time to consider and approve the New Advisory Agreement. The Trustees further reviewed and considered the information they deemed reasonably necessary with respect to the Second Interim Advisory Agreement, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Current Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and Current Adviser; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and fall-out benefits to be realized by the Current Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Fund; (iv) the profitability of the Current Adviser; and (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund's investors.
In considering the Second Interim Advisory Agreement, the Trustees took into consideration the information that had been provided to them throughout the year and, in particular, at their December 22, 2022 meeting, at which the Trustees most recently considered and approved the Previous Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed, among other things, a copy of the form of the Second Interim Advisory Agreement, noting that it was substantially the same as the Initial Interim Advisory Agreement, except for the effective and termination dates.
In deciding whether to approve the Second Interim Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
(i)Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees noted that they had considered the responsibilities of the Current Adviser under the Previous Advisory Agreement and that those responsibilities would not change under the Second Interim Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by the Current Adviser to the Fund including, without limitation, the quality of its investment advisory services since the Fund's inception; its procedures for overseeing the Sub-Adviser's investment process and decisions, and assuring compliance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and limitations; its coordination of services for the Fund among the Fund's service providers; and its efforts to promote the Fund, grow the Fund's assets and assist in the distribution of the Fund's shares. The Trustees also evaluated: the Current Adviser's staffing, personnel, and methods of operation; the background and experience of the Current Adviser's personnel; the Current Adviser's compliance program; the financial condition of the Current Adviser; and the potential impact of the Transaction on the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Current Adviser. The Trustees also considered that the Current Adviser is expected to continue providing the same level of compliance operational support to the Fund under the Second Interim Advisory Agreement. After reviewing the foregoing information and further information from the Current Adviser, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Current Adviser were satisfactory and adequate for the Fund.
17
(ii)Performance. The Trustees considered that they had previously compared the performance of the Fund with the performance of its benchmark index, comparable funds with similar strategies managed by other investment advisers, and applicable peer group data (e.g., peer group averages provided by Broadridge); the consistency of the Current Adviser's management of the Fund with its investment objective, policies and limitations; the short-term investment performance of the Fund; the Current Adviser's experience overseeing the management of the Fund; and the Current Adviser's historical investment performance. Upon further consideration, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Fund and the Current Adviser was satisfactory.
(iii)Fees and Expenses; Fall-out Benefits to the Current Adviser. The Board considered the fees and expenses in connection with the Current Adviser's management of the Fund, including any fall-out benefits derived by the Current Adviser and its affiliates resulting from its relationship with the Fund. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Current Adviser would not be entitled to management fees from the Fund or its clients under the Second Interim Advisory Agreement. The Trustees considered the Current Adviser's staffing, personnel, and methods of operation; the background and experience of the Current Adviser's personnel; the Current Adviser's compliance program; the financial condition of the Current Adviser; the level of commitment to the Fund and the Current Adviser by the principals of the Current Adviser; the asset levels of the Fund; and the overall expenses of the Fund, including certain prior fee waivers and reimbursements by the Current Adviser. The Trustees also considered the potential benefits for the Current Adviser in managing the Fund, including the promotion of the Current Adviser's name and the ability for the Current Adviser to place small accounts into the Fund. The Trustees considered that they had previously compared the fees and expenses of the Fund (including the management fees) to other funds comparable in terms of the type of fund, the nature of its investment strategy, and its style of investment management, among other factors, in connection with the approval of the Previous Advisory Agreement. Upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the lack of fees to be paid to the Current Adviser by the Fund was fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Current Adviser and that, because the lack of fees is required by SEC staff guidance, it reflected charges that were better than what could have been negotiated at arm's length.
(iv)Profitability. The Trustees considered that they had previously reviewed the Current Adviser's profitability in connection with its management of the Fund in connection with the renewal of the Previous Advisory Agreement. In considering the profitability of the Current Adviser, the Trustees noted that the Current Adviser would not be entitled to management fees from the Fund or its clients under the Second Interim Advisory Agreement.
(v)Economies of Scale. The Trustees noted that, in connection with their review of the Previous Advisory Agreement, they had previously reviewed the Fund's operational history (and noted that the size of the Fund had not provided an opportunity to realize economies of scale) and noted that the Fund was a relatively small size and economies of scale were unlikely to be achieved during the term of the Second Interim Advisory Agreement. In considering economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that the Current Adviser would not be entitled to management fees from the Fund or its clients under the Second Interim Advisory Agreement. Following further discussion of the Fund's asset levels and expectations for growth, the Board determined that the Fund's fee arrangements were fair and reasonable at the present time in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Current Adviser.
18
Based upon all of the foregoing considerations, and after further discussion and careful review, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Second Interim Advisory Agreement for the Fund.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, INCLUDING ALL OF THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF THE SECOND INTERIM ADVISORY AGREEMENT. SIGNED BUT UNMARKED PROXIES WILL BE SO VOTED.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Current Adviser

Administrator
The Nottingham Company, located at 116 S. Franklin Street, Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804, serves as the administrator for the Fund.
Reliance on Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act
The Board has been advised that, in connection with the Transaction, the parties to the Transaction Agreement intend to rely on Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, which provides a non-exclusive safe harbor for an investment adviser to an investment company, and any of the investment adviser's affiliated persons (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act), to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a change in control of an investment adviser subject to certain conditions being met. Because affiliates of the Current Adviser may be deemed to receive a "benefit" in connection with the Transaction, the parties to the Transaction Agreement seek to rely on Section 15(f).
To rely on Section 15(f), two conditions must be met. First, for a period of three years after the closing of the Transaction, at least 75% of the Board must be comprised of persons who are not "interested persons" (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Current Adviser or successor adviser. The Fund intends to use its best efforts to comply with this 75% requirement with respect to the Board for the three-year period from the date the Transaction closed.
The second condition of Section 15(f) is that, for a period of two years following the closing of the Transaction, there must not be imposed on the Fund any "unfair burden" as a result of the Transaction or any express or implied terms, conditions, or understandings related to it. An "unfair burden" would include any arrangement whereby an "adviser" or an "interested person" of the adviser, would receive or be entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Fund or their shareholders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the Fund (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for a Fund). If approved, the changes to the management fee and the expense limit could result in an increase to the Fund's expense ratio. However, the Current Adviser has indicated that the average advisory fee paid to the Current Adviser by Fund shareholders as of September 30, 2023 is 0.45%, and that the average advisory fee paid to the Adviser by Fund shareholders who have chosen to pay a non-zero fee as of September 30, 2023 is 0.88%. In addition, themaximum "Pay What Is Fair" fee of 2.00% is reflected in the Fund's fee table and the Fund's performance in the Fund's prospectus, and thus the proposed fee and expense levels will be well within reasonable expectations regarding an investment in the Fund. Furthermore, the Current Adviser and the New Adviser believe that the proposed change to the management fee structure and the related change to the expense limit are necessary and appropriate for the Fund to be sustainable in the long term. The higher fees and expenses resulting from the change to the management fee structure and the related change to the expense limit will compensate the New Adviser and the Fund's other service providers for bona fide advisory and other services and will not be used to finance the costs of the Transaction. In light of these considerations, the Current Adviser and the New Adviser do not believe that the higher fees and expenses will constitute an "unfair burden" on shareholders.
21
Voting Information
Shareholders of record of the Trust on the Record Date are entitled to be present and to vote at the Meeting. Exhibit H to this Proxy Statement sets forth the number of shares of the Fund issued and outstanding on the Record Date.
With respect to the actions to be taken by the shareholders of the Fund on the matters described in this Proxy Statement, one-third of the outstanding shares present at the Meeting by proxy or in person of the Funds shall constitute a quorum at the Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting and determining whether sufficient votes have been received for approval of the Proposals, abstentions, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting. Accordingly, abstentions effectively will be a vote against the Proposals, for which the required vote is a percentage of the shares present or outstanding.
Vote Required for the Proposal
Approval of each of the Proposals requires the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" entitled to vote on the proposal, as defined in the 1940 Act, which means the vote of 67% or more of the voting securities entitled to vote on the proposal that are present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or the vote of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote on the proposal, whichever is less.
Proxy-Related Expenses
The Current Adviser will bear all of the costs and expenses associated with Proposals, including all of the costs associated with the solicitation of proxies from Fund shareholders, which consists of the costs associated with the preparation, printing and distribution of the proxy materials. Solicitations may be made by regular mail, telephone, e-mail, or other personal contact by officers or employees of the Current Adviser or by the proxy soliciting firm retained by the Fund to assist with the solicitation process. EQ Fund Solutions, LLC has been retained to provide proxy solicitation services in connection with the Meeting and the costs of the firm are being borne solely by the Current Adviser and not by the Fund. In addition, the Current Adviser may reimburse persons holding shares in their names or names of their nominees for expenses incurred in forwarding solicitation material to their beneficial owners.
Affiliated Brokerage
During its most recent fiscal year, no commissions were paid to any affiliated brokers in connection with the purchase or sale of securities for the Fund by the Current Adviser.
22
Ownership of Shares
[As of the Record Date, no person owned of record and/or beneficially 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund.]
[As of the Record Date, each of the Trustees and executive officers of the Trust beneficially owned individually and, collectively as a group, less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.]
Shareholder Communications and Proposals
The Fund has not received any shareholder proposals for this Meeting. Under the proxy rules of the SEC, shareholder proposals may, under certain conditions, be included in the Fund's proxy materials for a particular meeting. Under these rules, proposals submitted for inclusion in the Fund's proxy materials must be received within a reasonable period of time before the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials. The submission by a shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in a proxy statement does not guarantee that it will be included. Shareholder proposals are subject to certain regulations under the federal securities laws relating to inclusion.
A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at any future meetings of the Fund's shareholders should be sent to Aspiration Funds, 4551 Glencoe Avenue Marina Del Rey, CA 90292. The Fund does not hold annual meetings of shareholders.
Rescission Offer

In connection with the transfer of shares of Aspiration Partners, the parent entity of the Current Adviser, that occurred on June 26, 2023 and that could be deemed an assignment of the Previous Advisory Agreement for purposes of the 1940 Act and therefore resulting in the automatic termination of the agreement, and related interim advisory contracts, the Trust is offering shareholders an opportunity to rescind any purchases of shares of the Fund ("Eligible Shares") that were made between October 31, 2022 and [ ], 2024 (the "Affected Period"). The rescission offer is being made through a separate offer letter sent to eligible Fund shareholders.

Under the rescission offer, the Trust is offering to rescind all sales of Eligible Shares for the following amount: (1) shareholders' purchase price for the shares; (2) plus interest, calculated from the purchase date until the date the rescission payment is made by the Fund using the greater of (i) the interest rate for Federal judgments, determined in accordance with the rate and method of calculation set forth in 28 U.S.C.ss.1961(a) and (b), or (ii) the applicable interest rate designated by the state law of the state of the shareholder's residence; (3) minus any dividends declared and paid or payable with respect to such shares. In addition, for shares redeemed prior to receiving this redemption offer, prior redemption proceeds would be subtracted from the amount payable under the rescission offer.

The outcome of the proxy will not affect the rescission offer.

FORM OF NEW ADVISORY AGREEMENT
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made this [ ]th day of [ ], between Aspiration Funds (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust having its principal place of business at 4551 Glencoe Avenue, Marina Del Rey, California 90292, on behalf of the Fund(s) listed on Schedule A, and Mission Investment Advisors LLC (the "Investment Adviser"), an investment adviser having its principal place of business at One Embarcadero Center, Suite 800, San Francisco, CA 94111.
WHEREAS, the Trust is registered as an open-end, management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act");
WHEREAS, the Investment Adviser is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended; and
WHEREAS, the Trust desires to retain the Investment Adviser to furnish investment advisory and administrative services to certain investment portfolios of the Trust and may retain the Investment Adviser to serve in such capacity with respect to certain additional investment portfolios of the Trust, all as now or hereafter may be identified in Schedule A hereto as such Schedule may be amended from time to time (each investment portfolio is individually referred to herein as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds") and the Investment Adviser represents that it is willing and possesses legal authority to so furnish such services without violation of applicable laws and regulations;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed between the parties hereto as follows:
1.
Appointment. The Trust hereby appoints the Investment Adviser to act as investment adviser to the Fund(s) for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Investment Adviser accepts such appointment and agrees to furnish the services herein set forth for the compensation herein provided. Additional investment portfolios may from time to time be added to those covered by this Agreement by the parties executing a new Schedule A, which shall become effective upon its execution and shall supersede any Schedule A having an earlier date.
2.
Delivery of Documents. The Trust has furnished the Investment Adviser with copies, properly certified or authenticated, of each of the following:
(a)
the Trust's Certificate of Trust, filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 22, 2013, and any and all amendments thereto or restatements thereof (the "Certificate of Trust");
(b)
The Trust's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated May 12, 2014, and any and all amendments thereto or restatements thereof;

Exh. A-1
(c)
the Trust's By-Laws and any and all amendments thereto or restatements thereof;
(d)
resolutions of the Trust's Board of Trustees authorizing the appointment of the Investment Adviser and approving this Agreement;
(e)
the Trust's Notification of Registration on Form N-8A under the 1940 Act, as filed with the Commission, and all amendments thereto;
(f)
the Trust's Registration Statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and under the 1940 Act as filed with the Commission and all amendments thereto; and
(g)
the most recent Prospectus, Summary Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of each of the Funds (such Prospectus, Summary Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as presently in effect, and all amendments and supplements thereto, are herein collectively referred to as the "Prospectus").
The Trust will furnish the Investment Adviser from time to time with copies of all amendments of or supplements to the foregoing.
3.
Management. Subject to the supervision of the Trust's Board of Trustees, the Investment Adviser will provide a continuous investment program for the Fund(s), including investment research and management with respect to all securities and investments and cash equivalents in the Fund(s). The Investment Adviser will determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the Trust with respect to the Fund(s). The Investment Adviser will provide the services under this Agreement in accordance with each Fund's investment objectives, policies, and restrictions as stated in the Prospectus and resolutions of the Trust's Board of Trustees.

However, a broker or dealer's sale or promotion of Fund shares shall not be a factor considered by the Investment Adviser or its personnel responsible for selecting brokers or dealers to effect securities transactions on behalf of the Fund(s), nor shall the Investment Adviser enter into any agreement or understanding under which it will direct brokerage transactions or revenue generated by those transactions to brokers or dealers to pay for distribution of Fund shares. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Trust's principal underwriter, the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Trust, the Trust's principal underwriter, or the Investment Adviser, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the Commission;

The Investment Adviser may, subject to the approval of the Trust's Board of Trustees, appoint a sub-adviser to provide the services contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that the Investment Adviser shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by the appointment of such sub-adviser and provided further, that the Investment Adviser shall be responsible, to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof for all acts of such sub-adviser as if such acts were its own.
4.
Services Not Exclusive. The investment management services furnished by the Investment Adviser hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Investment Adviser shall be free to furnish similar services to others so long as its services under this Agreement are not impaired thereby.
5.
Books and Records. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Investment Adviser hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund(s) are the property of the Trust and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Trust any of such records upon the Trust's request.

6.
Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, the Investment Adviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement other than the cost of securities (including brokerage commissions, if any, taxes, borrowing costs (such as dividend expenses on securities sold short and interest)) purchased for the Fund.

Exh. A-3
7.
Compensation. For the services provided and the expenses assumed pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund(s) will pay the Investment Adviser and the Investment Adviser will accept as full compensation therefor a fee as set forth on Schedule A hereto. The obligation of the Fund(s) to pay the above-described fee to the Investment Adviser will begin as of the date of the initial public sale of shares in the Fund(s). The fee attributable to a Fund shall be the obligation of that particular Fund and not of any other Fund. Such fee will be paid quarterly in arrears.
8.
Limitation of Liability. The Investment Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Investment Adviser in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
9.
Duration and Termination. This Agreement will become effective with respect to each Fund listed on Schedule A as of the date first written above (or, if a particular Fund is not in existence on that date, on the date a registration statement relating to that Fund becomes effective with the Commission), provided that it shall have been approved by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund, in accordance with the requirements under the 1940 Act, and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, shall continue for an initial term of two years.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated as to a particular Fund at any time on 60 days' written notice, without the payment of any penalty, by the Trust (by vote of the Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund) or by the Investment Adviser. This Agreement will immediately terminate in the event of its assignment. As used in this Agreement, the terms "majority of the outstanding voting securities", "interested persons" and "assignment" shall have the same meanings as ascribed to such terms in the 1940 Act.
10.
Investment Adviser's Representations. The Investment Adviser hereby represents and warrants that it is willing and possesses all requisite legal authority to provide the services contemplated by this Agreement without violation of applicable law and regulations.

12.
Confidentiality. Without the prior consent of the other party, no party shall disclose Confidential Information (as defined below) of any other party received in connection with the services provided under this Agreement.

The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any information that (i) is, at the time of disclosure, or thereafter becomes, part of the public domain through a source other than the receiving party, (ii) is subsequently learned from a third party that, to the knowledge of the receiving party, is not under an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party, (iii) was known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure, or (iv) is generated independently by the receiving party, or (v) is disclosed pursuant to applicable law, subpoena, applicable professional standards, request of a governmental or regulatory agency, or other process after reasonable notice to the other party. The parties further agree that a breach of this provision would irreparably damage the other party and accordingly agree that each of them is entitled, in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity, to an injunction or injunctions without bond or other security to prevent breaches of this provision.
Exh. A-4
For the purpose of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall mean NPPI (as defined below), any information identified by either party as "Confidential" and/or "Proprietary" or which, under all of the circumstances, ought reasonably to be treated as confidential and/or proprietary, or any nonpublic information obtained hereunder concerning the other party.
Nonpublic personal information relating to shareholders of the Trust ("NPPI") provided by, or at the direction of, the Trust to the Adviser, or collected or retained by the Investment Adviser in the course of performing its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement shall remain the sole property of the Trust. The Investment Adviser shall not give, sell or in any way transfer such Confidential Information to any person or entity, other than affiliates of the Investment Adviser except in connection with the performance of the Investment Adviser's duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, at the direction of the Trust or as required or permitted by law (including applicable anti-money laundering laws). The Investment Adviser represents, warrants and agrees that it has in place and will maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards reasonably designed to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of, and to prevent unauthorized access to or use of records and information relating to shareholders of the Trust. The Investment Adviser represents to the Trust that it has adopted a statement of its privacy policies and practices as required by Regulation S-P and agrees to provide the Trust with a copy of that statement annually.
The parties agree to comply with any and all regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or other applicable laws regarding the confidentiality of shareholder information.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Exh. A-5
13.
Amendment of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be effective until approved by the Board, including a majority of the trustees who are not interested persons of the Adviser or of the Trust, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (if required under interpretations of the 1940 Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff) by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund to which the amendment relates.
14.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
15.
Miscellaneous. A copy of the Certificate of Trust is on file with the Secretary of State of Delaware, and notice is hereby given that this Agreement is executed by the Trust on behalf of the Fund(s) by an officer of the Trust as an officer and not individually and that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property belonging to the Trust.

The information in the tables describe the fees and expenses that an investor may pay if the investor buys, holds, and sells shares of the Fund under the current Pay What is Fair ("PWIF") fee model (including both the minimum and maximum management fee payable under PWIF, 0.00% and 2.00%, respectively) and pro forma fees and expenses reflecting the changes to the Fund's management fee and the expense limit that will take effect if shareholders approve Proposal 1. The information in the tables is based on fees and expenses as shown in the Fund's prospectus, except with respect to certain of the pro forma information, which has been revised to reflect a new management fee and expense limit.

8.
Services Not Exclusive.
(a)
The Sub-Adviser and its officers may act and continue to act as investment managers for others, and nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be deemed to restrict the right of the Sub-Adviser to perform investment management or other services for any other person or entity, and the performance of such services for others shall not be deemed to violate or give rise to any duty or obligation to the Fund or the Trust.
(b)
Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the Sub-Adviser, affiliates, or any of either of their respective members, partners, officers, or employees from buying, selling or trading in any securities for its or their own account.

The Sub-Adviser shall have no obligation to acquire for the Fund a position in any investment which the Sub-Adviser, any affiliate, or any of their respective members, partners, officers, or employees may acquire for its or their own accounts or for the account of another client, so long as it continues to be the policy and practice of the Sub-Adviser not to favor or disfavor consistently or consciously any client or class of clients in the allocation of investment opportunities so that, to the extent practical, such opportunities will be allocated among clients over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis.
(c)
The Sub-Adviser agrees that this Section does not constitute a waiver by the Trust or the Investment Adviser of the obligations imposed upon the Sub-Adviser to comply with Sections 17(d) and 17(j) of the 1940 Act, and the rules thereunder, nor constitute a waiver by the Trust or the Investment Adviser of the obligations imposed upon the Sub-Adviser under Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the rules thereunder.

The Sub-Adviser agrees that this Section 8 shall be interpreted consistent with the provisions of Section 17(i) of the 1940 Act.

If the Sub-Adviser is registered as a Commodity Trading Advisor under the Commodity Exchange Act, the Investment Adviser consents to the Sub-Adviser's compliance with the alternative disclosure and recordkeeping standard available to exempt accounts under CFTC Rule 4.7 with respect to the Fund's trading in commodity interests, provided that the Sub-Adviser has duly filed a notice of claim for such relief pursuant to Rule 4.7(d).

Exh. E-8
(d)
The Investment Adviser acknowledges that the Sub-Adviser is not the compliance agent for the Fund or for the Investment Adviser, and does not have access to all of the Fund's books and records necessary to perform certain compliance testing. To the extent that the Sub-Adviser has agreed to perform the services specified under this Agreement in accordance with applicable law (including Section 851 of the IRC, the Act and the Advisers Act ("Applicable Law")) and in accordance with the Trust Documents, policies and determinations of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and the Investment Adviser, and the Fund's Prospectus (collectively the "Charter Requirements") the Sub-Adviser shall perform such services based upon its books and records with respect to the Fund, which comprise a portion of the Trust's books and records, and upon written instructions received from the Funds, the Adviser or the Trust's administrator, and shall not be held responsible under this Agreement so long as it performs such services in accordance with this Agreement, the Charter Requirements and Applicable Law based upon such books and records and such instructions provided by the Funds, the Adviser or the Trust's administrator.

The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any information that (i) is, at the time of disclosure, or thereafter becomes, part of the public domain through a source other than the receiving party, (ii) is subsequently learned from a third party that, to the knowledge of the receiving party, is not under an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party, (iii) was known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure, or (iv) is generated independently by the receiving party, or (v) is disclosed pursuant to applicable law, subpoena, applicable professional standards, request of a governmental or regulatory agency, or other process after reasonable notice to the other party. The parties further agree that a breach of this provision would irreparably damage the other party and accordingly agree that each of them is entitled, in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity, to an injunction or injunctions without bond or other security to prevent breaches of this provision.

Subject to the supervision of the Trust's Board of Trustees, the Investment Adviser will provide a continuous investment program for the Fund(s), including investment research and management with respect to all securities and investments and cash equivalents in the Fund(s). The Investment Adviser will determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the Trust with respect to the Fund(s).

Exh. F-2
(a)
will use the same skill and care in providing such services as it uses in providing services to its other accounts for which it has investment responsibilities;
(b)
will conform with all applicable Rules and Regulations of the Commission under the 1940 Act and, in addition, will conduct its activities under this Agreement in accordance with any applicable regulations of any governmental authority pertaining to the investment advisory activities of the Investment Adviser;
(c)
will place or cause to be placed orders for a Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer. Subject to the provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Investment Adviser may effect securities transactions which cause the Fund to pay an amount of commission in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged, provided that the Investment Adviser determined in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer utilized by the Investment Adviser. However, a broker or dealer's sale or promotion of Fund shares shall not be a factor considered by the Investment Adviser or its personnel responsible for selecting brokers or dealers to effect securities transactions on behalf of the Fund(s), nor shall the Investment Adviser enter into any agreement or understanding under which it will direct brokerage transactions or revenue generated by those transactions to brokers or dealers to pay for distribution of Fund shares. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Trust's principal underwriter, the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Trust, the Trust's principal underwriter, or the Investment Adviser, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the Commission;
(d)
will maintain all books and records with respect to the securities transactions of the Fund(s) and will furnish the Trust's Board of Trustees with such periodic and special reports as the Board may request; and
(e)
will treat confidentially and as proprietary information of the Trust all records and other information relative to the Trust and the Fund(s), including a Fund's portfolio holdings, and prior, present, or potential shareholders, and will not use such records and information for any purpose other than performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, except after prior notification to and approval in writing by the Trust, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where the Investment Adviser may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities, or when so requested by the Trust.
The Investment Adviser may, subject to the approval of the Trust's Board of Trustees, appoint a sub-adviser to provide the services contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that the Investment Adviser shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by the appointment of such sub-adviser and provided further, that the Investment Adviser shall be responsible, to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof for all acts of such sub-adviser as if such acts were its own.
Exh. F-3
4.
Services Not Exclusive. The investment management services furnished by the Investment Adviser hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Investment Adviser shall be free to furnish similar services to others so long as its services under this Agreement are not impaired thereby.

In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Investment Adviser hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund(s) are the property of the Trust and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Trust any of such records upon the Trust's request.

6.
Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, the Investment Adviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement other than the cost of securities (including brokerage commissions, if any, taxes, borrowing costs (such as dividend expenses on securities sold short and interest)) purchased for the Fund.

7.
Compensation. For the services provided and the expenses assumed pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund(s) will pay the Investment Adviser and the Investment Adviser will accept as full compensation therefor a fee as set forth on Schedule A hereto, subject to the following conditions:
(a)
the compensation earned under this Agreement will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account with the Fund(s)' custodian (the "Escrow Account");
(b)
if a majority of the Fund(s)' outstanding voting securities approve a new investment advisory agreement within the 150 days from the effective date of this Agreement (the "150-day Period"), then the Investment Adviser will be paid the entire amount in the escrow account (including interest earned); and
(c)
if a majority of the Fund (s)' outstanding voting securities do not approve the new investment advisory agreement within the 150-day Period, then the Investment Adviser will be paid, out of the escrow account, the lesser of:
1)
any costs incurred in performing the interim contract (plus interest earned on that amount while in escrow); or
2)
the total amount in the escrow account (plus interest earned).
(d)
Except for the payment made pursuant to Section 7(c), the Fund shall pay no compensation to the Adviser after the 150-day Period.
The fee attributable to a Fund shall be the obligation of that particular Fund and not of any other Fund.
Exh. F-4

Limitation of Liability. The Investment Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Investment Adviser in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

This Agreement may be terminated as to a particular Fund at any time on 10 days' written notice, without the payment of any penalty, by the Trust (by vote of the Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund) or, upon 60 days' written notice, by the Investment Adviser. This Agreement will immediately terminate in the event of its assignment. As used in this Agreement, the terms "majority of the outstanding voting securities", "interested persons" and "assignment" shall have the same meanings as ascribed to such terms in the 1940 Act.
10.
Investment Adviser's Representations. The Investment Adviser hereby represents and warrants that it is willing and possesses all requisite legal authority to provide the services contemplated by this Agreement without violation of applicable law and regulations.
11.
Use of Name. The Trust and the Investment Adviser acknowledge that all rights to the name "Aspiration" or any variation thereof belong to Aspiration Partners LLC ("Aspiration Partners"). Aspiration Partners has consented to the use by the Trust and by each Fund to the identifying word "Aspiration" in the name of the Trust and of each Fund. Such consent is conditioned upon the Trust's employment of an affiliate of Aspiration Partners as investment adviser to the Trust and to each Fund. There is no charge to the Trust for the consent to use this name.
12.
Confidentiality. Without the prior consent of the other party, no party shall disclose Confidential Information (as defined below) of any other party received in connection with the services provided under this Agreement.

The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any information that (i) is, at the time of disclosure, or thereafter becomes, part of the public domain through a source other than the receiving party, (ii) is subsequently learned from a third party that, to the knowledge of the receiving party, is not under an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party, (iii) was known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure, or (iv) is generated independently by the receiving party, or (v) is disclosed pursuant to applicable law, subpoena, applicable professional standards, request of a governmental or regulatory agency, or other process after reasonable notice to the other party. The parties further agree that a breach of this provision would irreparably damage the other party and accordingly agree that each of them is entitled, in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity, to an injunction or injunctions without bond or other security to prevent breaches of this provision.
Exh. F-5
For the purpose of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall mean NPPI (as defined below), any information identified by either party as "Confidential" and/or "Proprietary" or which, under all of the circumstances, ought reasonably to be treated as confidential and/or proprietary, or any nonpublic information obtained hereunder concerning the other party.
Nonpublic personal information relating to shareholders of the Trust ("NPPI") provided by, or at the direction of, the Trust to the Adviser, or collected or retained by the Investment Adviser in the course of performing its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement shall remain the sole property of the Trust. The Investment Adviser shall not give, sell or in any way transfer such Confidential Information to any person or entity, other than affiliates of the Investment Adviser except in connection with the performance of the Investment Adviser's duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, at the direction of the Trust or as required or permitted by law (including applicable anti-money laundering laws). The Investment Adviser represents, warrants and agrees that it has in place and will maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards reasonably designed to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of, and to prevent unauthorized access to or use of records and information relating to shareholders of the Trust. The Investment Adviser represents to the Trust that it has adopted a statement of its privacy policies and practices as required by Regulation S-P and agrees to provide the Trust with a copy of that statement annually.
The parties agree to comply with any and all regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or other applicable laws regarding the confidentiality of shareholder information.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be effective until approved by the Board, including a majority of the trustees who are not interested persons of the Adviser or of the Trust, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (if required under interpretations of the 1940 Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff) by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund to which the amendment relates.
14.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
15.
Miscellaneous. A copy of the Certificate of Trust is on file with the Secretary of State of Delaware, and notice is hereby given that this Agreement is executed by the Trust on behalf of the Fund(s) by an officer of the Trust as an officer and not individually and that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property belonging to the Trust.
