Dear AlphaCentric SWBC Municipal Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) Investor:

 

The six-month period ended September 30, 2022, added to the already historic negative returns in the municipal market. Continued inflationary pressures and a hawkish Federal reserve aggressively raising short-term interest rates put significant upward pressure on both intermediate and long-term interest rates. Nervous retail investors continued to sell their municipal assets at a frantic pace in the six-month period, exacerbating the freefall of bond prices. Economic indicators also added to the volatility of the bond market, as employment numbers continued to show strength in the economy, while other indicators showed a building weakness. The volatility led to a -12.45% return for the Fund vs -6.30% for the Bloomberg Municipal Index for the six-month period ended September 30. While the Bloomberg Municipal Index is a broad index, it doesn’t fully capture the differentiated strategy of the Fund. A more appropriate way to analyze the returns would be a blended index of the Bloomberg Long Term Muni Index and the First Trust Municipal Closed End Fund Index. For the six-month period, the Fund outperformed this index -12.45% vs -13.47%. The year-to-date returns show a more pronounced outperformance for the Fund of -20.73% vs -23.94% for the index. While it has been an historically bad year for fixed income, keep in mind that the Fund was designed to provide a high level of federally tax-exempt income and over the last 12 months has consistently been one of the highest yielding open-end funds in the market.

 

The disastrous environment for bonds so far this year is creating value in the fixed income markets not seen in decades. Federally tax-exempt municipal bond rates have risen approximately 250 basis points across the entire yield curve, and while this may hurt the value of bonds currently held, it offers investors an opportunity to reposition portfolios to produce significantly more income. Municipal bonds, which have long been considered the second safest fixed income security behind U.S. Treasuries, are offering federally tax-free yields above comparable Treasuries and tax-equivalent yields above corporate bonds. A deeper dive shows that municipal closed end funds which have seen an historic drawdown this year, are offering tax-equivalent yields higher than corporate junk bonds. Based on the lower risk profile of municipal bonds, these types of comparable yields are rarely achieved and offer investors a superior income stream to help get through the remaining volatility and strong return potential as the market stabilizes.

 

Looking forward, management expects the Federal Reserve to increase short-term interest rates a couple more times this year then hold off while prior increases work their way into the economy. The aggressive actions by the Federal Reserve so far this year and the increased inflation should lead the economy into an expected recession in 2023. The economy has already seen two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth in 2022 and economic growth in 2023 should show additional weakness as higher interest rates work their way into the economy. This type of economic scenario should cause long-term interest rates to fall, providing a positive total return, while short term interest rates remain stable until the Federal Reserve is forced to lower rates once again.

Thank you for your support.

 

Sincerely,

 

The SWBC Management Team

These financial statements include the following series: AlphaCentric Income Opportunities Fund, AlphaCentric Premium Opportunity Fund, AlphaCentric Robotics and Automation Fund, AlphaCentric Symmetry Strategy Fund, AlphaCentric LifeSci Healthcare Fund, AlphaCentric SWBC Municipal Opportunities Fund and AlphaCentric Strategic Income Fund. Each series is individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds” throughout these financial statements. The AlphaCentric Robotics and Automation Fund, AlphaCentric Symmetry Strategy Fund, AlphaCentric LifeSci Healthcare Fund, AlphaCentric SWBC Municipal Opportunities Fund and AlphaCentric Strategic Income Fund are registered as non-diversified series of the Trust. The AlphaCentric Income Opportunities Fund and AlphaCentric Premium Opportunities Fund are diversified series of the Trust. The Funds’ investment manager is AlphaCentric Advisors, LLC (the “Manager” or “AlphaCentric”).

 

AlphaCentric Income Opportunities Fund (“AIOF”), commenced operations on May 28, 2015. AIOF’s investment objective is current income. The Fund’s sub-advisor is Garrison Point Capital, LLC.

 

AlphaCentric Premium Opportunity Fund (“APOF”) , commenced operations as a series of the Trust on September 30, 2016. The predecessor fund of APOF Class I commenced operations on August 31, 2011, as a private investment fund. APOF’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.

AlphaCentric Symmetry Strategy Fund (“ASSF”), class A and C commenced operations on August 8, 2019, and class I commenced operations on September 1, 2014. ASSF’s investment objective is capital appreciation. The Fund’s sub-advisor is Mount Lucas Management LP.

The Fund’s sub-advisor is Goshen Rock Capital, LLC (“GRC”). GRC is under common control with Strategos Capital Management, LLC (“SCM”) an SEC registered investment advisor founded in 2004.

 

ASIF acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Strategos Deep Value Fund LP (the “Predecessor Fund”) in a tax-free reorganization on May 28, 2021. In connection with this acquisition, net assets of the Predecessor Fund were exchange for Class I shares of ASIF, so the Predecessor Fund became the Class I shares of ASIF. The net asset value of ASIF’s shares resulting from these tax-free transactions at the close of business on May 28, 2021, after the reorganization, was $18.48 for Class I shares and ASIF received in-kind capital contributions of securities valued at $9,944,195, cash valued at $2,160,007 and other net assets/liabilities valued at $17,036 in exchange for 655,911 Class I shares. Class A and Class C shares commenced operations on May 28, 2021. The Fund’s investment objective, policies, restrictions and guidelines are, in all material respects, equivalent to the Predecessor Fund’s investment objectives, policies, restrictions, and guidelines. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investment received was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of ASIF’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

 

Each Fund offers three classes of shares, Class A, Class C and Class I. Each share class represents an interest in the same assets of the respective Fund, has the same rights and is identical in all material respects except that (i) each class of shares may bear different distribution fees; (ii) each class of shares may be subject to different (or no) sales charges; (iii) certain other class specific expenses borne solely by the class to which such expenses are attributable; and (iv) each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its own distribution arrangements.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Financial Services – Investment Companies including FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and based on methods which include the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type. The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “underlying funds”). Open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The underlying funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the boards of the underlying funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as “odd lots” and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as “round lots”. A Fund may fair value a particular bond if the Manager does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Fund’s holding. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost, provided each such valuation represent fair value. Investments in total return swap contracts are priced daily based on the underlying equity securities held in the swap. Futures and future options are valued at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Options are valued at their closing price on the exchange they are traded on. When no closing price is available, options are valued at their mean price. Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or at fair value based on daily price reporting from the swap counterparty issuing the swap.

 

Securities traded on a foreign exchange which has not closed by the valuation time or for which the official closing prices are not available at the time the NAV is determined will be valued using alternative market prices provided by a pricing service.

 

In certain circumstances, instead of valuing securities in the usual manner, the Funds may value securities at “fair value” as determined in good faith by the Board, pursuant to the procedures (the “Procedures”) approved by the Board. The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security. Fair value may also be used by the Board if extraordinary events occur after the close of the relevant world market but prior to the New York Stock Exchange close.

 

Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the potential lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

*Derivative instruments include cumulative net unrealized gain or loss on futures contracts open as of September 30, 2022.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased, a Fund generally enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign currency contracts are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency contracts in the Statements of Operations.

 

Foreign Currency – Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Each Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

 

Futures Contracts – Each Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts. A Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. Upon entering into a contract, a Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. For the six months ended September 30, 2022, APOF, ASSF and AMOF invested in futures contracts.

 

Swap Agreements – The Funds that invest in swaps are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, currency risk, counterparty risk and/or commodity risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Funds may enter into various swap transactions for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, foreign exchange (currency), or credit risk. These would be two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments.

 

The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index or market segment. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day.

Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Funds amortize upfront payments and/or accrue for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount recorded as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Periodic payments and receipts and liquidation payments received or made at the termination of the swap agreement are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that that amount is positive. During the six months ended September 30, 2022, ASSF was invested in a credit default swap contract and realized a gain of $23,924. During the six months ended September 30, 2022, AMOF was invested in a credit default swap contract with a realized loss of $13,466. For the six months ended September 30, 2022 there were no other Funds invested in swap contracts.

 

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

 

Certain Funds may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in a Fund’s portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Funds to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Funds upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Funds. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Funds, the benefits realized by the Funds as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into options contracts are satisfied by the deposits of cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Funds’ agent in acquiring the options). For the six months ended September 30, 2022, APOF invested in options.

(1)Collateral pledged is limited to the net outstanding amount due to/from one individual counterparty. The actual collateral amounts pledged may exceed these amounts and fluctuate in value.

 

The value of derivative instruments outstanding as of September 30, 2022 as disclosed in the Schedules of Investments and the amounts realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the six months ended September 30, 2022, as disclosed above and within the Statements of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the APOF, ASSF and AMOF.

 

b)        Federal Income Tax – The Funds qualify as regulated investment companies and to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required.

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expense. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax expense as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations as incurred. As of September 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended March 31, 2020 to March 31, 2022, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ March 31, 2023 year-end tax returns.

 

c)        Distribution to Shareholders – Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for APOF, ARAF, ASSF and ALHF. AIOF, AMOF and ASIF make monthly dividend distributions from net investment income. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually.

 

d)        Multiple Class Allocations – Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative net assets. Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds in the Trust. Distribution fees are charged to each respective share class in accordance with the distribution plan.

 

e)       Other – Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities utilizing the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Withholding taxes and capital gains on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 

f)         Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

g)        Commitments and Contingencies – In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

 

h)        Sales charges (loads) – A maximum sales charge of 5.75% is imposed on Class A shares of the APOF, ARAF, ASSF, and ALHF. A maximum sales charge of 4.75% is imposed on Class A shares of AIOF, AMOF ASIF.

 

i)         Short Sales – The Funds may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which the Funds sell securities they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. To deliver the securities to the buyer, the Funds must arrange through a broker to borrow the securities and, in so doing, the Funds become obligated to replace the securities borrowed at their market price at the time of replacement, whatever that price may be. The Funds will make a profit or incur a loss as a result of a short sale depending on whether the price of the securities decrease or increase between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Funds purchased the securities to replace the borrowed securities that have been sold.

 

j)        Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Funds consider their investment in a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Funds maintain cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high quality financial institution.

 

Consolidation of Subsidiaries – ACSSF Fund Limited (“ASSF-CFC”) - The Consolidated Financial Statements of ASSF include the accounts of ASSF-CFC, which is a wholly-owned and controlled foreign subsidiary. ASSF consolidates the results of subsidiaries in which ASSF holds a controlling economic interest. Controlling economic interest is generally deemed to exist with investment interests comprising greater than 50% of the net asset value of the subsidiary. However, ASSF may also consider qualitative aspects of control in determining if a controlling economic interest exists. These qualitative control considerations include the nature and organizational structure of the investment, as well as ASSF’s ability to control the circumstances leading to majority ownership. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

ASSF may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”), which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with ASSF’s investment objectives and policies.

 

A summary of ASSF’s investments in ASSF-CFC is as follows:

 

     Inception            
     Date of    ASSF-CFC’s Net Assets at% of Net Assets at       
     ASSF-CFC    September 30, 2022   September 30, 2022   
ASSF-CFC    8/8/2019    $3,155,151    6.91%   

 

The CFC utilizes commodity-based derivative products to facilitate ASSF’s pursuit of its investment objectives. In accordance with its investment objectives and through their exposure to the aforementioned commodity-based derivative products, ASSF may have increased or decreased exposure to one or more of the following risk factors defined below:

 

Taxation Risk - By investing in commodities indirectly through a CFC, ASSF obtains exposure to the commodities markets within the federal tax requirements that apply to ASSF.

 

For tax purposes, the CFC is an exempted Cayman investment company. The CFC has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the CFC is a Controlled Foreign Corporation which generates and is allocated no income which is considered effectively connected with U.S. trade or business and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporation, ASSF- CFC’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the ASSF’s investment company taxable income.

Tax equalization allows a Fund to treat as distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable and net capital gains. The AlphaCentric Premium Opportunity Fund utilized equalization in the amount of $1,603,446 which resulted in a difference between tax distributions and book distributions as disclosed on the Statement of Changes for the year ended March 31, 2021. Net investment income and net realized gains, as disclosed on the Statements of Operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

 

As of each Fund’s tax year-ended of March 31, 2022 (for the tax period-ended November 30, 2021 for the AlphaCentric Income Opportunities Fund and for the tax period-ended April 30, 2021 for the AlphaCentric SWBC Municipal Opportunities Fund), the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

AlphaCentric Strategic Income Fund                            842,390    842,390 

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains, and unrealized appreciation(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market on open futures, swap contracts and passive foreign investment companies, and the ASSF Fund’s wholly owned subsidiary.

 

The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency gains(losses) of $(144), $26,770 and $(364) for AlphaCentric Robotics and Automation Fund, AlphaCentric Symmetry Strategy Fund and AlphaCentric LifeSci Healthcare Fund, respectively.

 

Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The funds incurred and elected to defer such late year losses as follows:

(8)UNDERLYING FUND RISK

 

The Funds in the normal course of business make investments in financial instruments and derivatives where the risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market or failure or inability of the counterparty to a transaction to perform. See below for a detailed description of select principal risks.

 

Each underlying fund, including each ETF, is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying fund. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, foreign and related currency risk, as well as risks associated with real estate investments and commodities. Investors in the Funds will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying investment companies in which the Funds invest in addition to the Funds’ direct fees and expenses.

 

Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Risk: ASSF-CFC is not registered under the 1940 Act and is not be subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which ASSF and ASSF-CFC, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of ASSF and/or ASSF-CFC to operate as described in the Prospectus and could negatively affect ASSF and their shareholders. Your cost of investing in ASSF will be higher because you indirectly bear the expenses of ASSF-CFC.

 

Credit Risk: There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held by a Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by a Fund may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security and in shares of the Fund. Lower credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult for a Fund to sell the security. The Funds may invest, directly or indirectly, in high yield fixed-income securities (also known as “junk bonds”), which are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations. This means that, compared to issuers of higher rated securities, issuers of medium and lower rated securities are less likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due in the event of adverse business, financial or economic conditions and/or may be in default or not current in the payment of interest or principal. The market values of medium- and lower-rated securities tend to be more sensitive to company-specific developments and changes in economic conditions than higher-rated securities. The companies that issue these securities often are highly leveraged, and their ability to service their debt obligations during an economic downturn or periods of rising interest rates may be impaired. In addition, these companies may not have access to more traditional methods of financing, and may be unable to repay debt at maturity by refinancing. The risk of loss due to default in payment of interest or principal by these issuers is significantly greater than with higher-rated securities because medium- and lower-rated securities generally are unsecured and subordinated to senior debt. Default, or the market’s perception that an issuer is likely to default, could reduce the value and liquidity of securities held by a Fund. In addition, default may cause a Fund to incur expenses in seeking recovery of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings.

 

Swap Counterparty Credit Risk: The Funds are subject to credit risk on the amount the Funds expect to receive from swap agreement counterparties. With certain exchange traded credit default swaps, there is minimal counterparty risk to a Fund in that the exchanges, clearinghouse, as counter party, guarantees against default.

 

Commodity Risk: Investing in the commodities markets may subject the Funds to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodity prices may be influenced by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and environmental factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes or burdensome production rules and restrictions.

 

Foreign Currency Risk: Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates in the currencies the Fund is long or short. Credit risk results because a currency-trade counterparty may default. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

 

Foreign Exchanges Risk: A portion of the derivatives trades made by the Funds may take place on foreign markets. Neither existing CFTC regulations nor regulations of any other U.S. governmental agency apply to transactions on foreign markets. Some of these foreign markets, in contrast to U.S. exchanges, are so-called principals’ markets in which performance is the responsibility only of the individual counterparty with whom the trader has entered into a commodity interest transaction and not of the exchange or clearing corporation. In these kinds of markets, there is risk of bankruptcy or other failure or refusal to perform by the counterparty.

 

Fixed Income Risk: When the Funds invest in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in each will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Funds. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). If the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) raises the federal funds interest rate target, interest rates across the U.S. financial system may rise. However, the magnitude of rate changes across maturities and borrower sectors is uncertain. Rising rates may decrease liquidity and increase volatility, which may make portfolio management more difficult and costly to each Fund and its shareholders. Additionally, default risk increases if issuers must borrow at higher rates. These risks could affect the value of

92

 

AlphaCentric Funds
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
September 30, 2022

 

a particular investment by each Fund, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

 

Futures and Forwards Contract Risk: For APOF, ASSF and AMOF the successful use of futures contracts draws upon the Manager’s skill and experience with respect to such instruments and are subject to special risk considerations. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are (a) the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held by the Fund and the price of the forward or futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a forward or futures contract and the resulting inability to close a forward or futures contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the Manager’s inability to predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors; (e) the possibility that the counterparty will default in the performance of its obligations; and (f) if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to meet daily variation margin requirements, and the Fund may have to sell securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.

 

Derivatives Risk: APOF, ASSF and AMOF may use derivatives (including options, futures, forwards, swaps and options on futures) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines. Each Fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: changing supply and demand relationships; government programs and policies; national and international political and economic events, changes in interest rates, inflation and deflation and changes in supply and demand relationships.

 

Options Risk: There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. As the seller (writer) of a covered call option, APOF assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the purchase price of the underlying security less the premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security above the exercise option price. As the buyer of a put or call option, the Fund risks losing the entire premium invested in the option if the Fund does not exercise the option. As a seller (writer) of a put option, the Fund will lose money if the value of the security falls below the strike price. If unhedged, the Fund’s written calls exposes it to potentially unlimited losses.

 

Market Risk: Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Funds. The market values of securities or other investments owned by the Funds will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, exchange rates and political events affect the securities markets. Changes in market conditions and interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. Unexpected local, regional or global events and their aftermath, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; climate- change or climate -related events; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; recessions and depressions; or other tragedies, catastrophes and events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to a Fund’s net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. Such events can cause investor fear and panic, which can adversely affect the economies of many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. In times of severe market disruptions, you could lose your entire investment.

 

LIBOR Risk: Changes in the level of LIBOR will affect the amount of interest payable on the LIBOR-based floating rate debt instruments, and it is impossible to predict whether LIBOR will rise or fall. A decline in the level of LIBOR would likely result in a reduction of interest collections on such debt instruments, which would have an adverse effect on the return of the Fund. Some floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund may have LIBOR floors (or minimum interest rate to which the spread or margin is added, to calculate the debt instrument’s overall interest rate), but there is no guarantee that any such LIBOR floor will fully mitigate the risk of falling LIBOR.

 

The UK Financial Conduct Authority and LIBOR’s administrator, ICE Benchmark Administration, ceased the publication of the mid-week and two month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021 and have announced that the three-, six- and twelve-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. Not all LIBOR-based instruments have an alternative to LIBOR and there is significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of alternative methodologies and the potential for market instability. These matters may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported benchmark rates, benchmark rates being more volatile than they have been in the past, and/or fewer debt instruments utilizing given benchmark rates as a component of interest payments. Additionally, in connection with the adoption of another benchmark as a replacement for LIBOR in a debt instrument’s documentation, the interest rate (or method for calculating the interest rate) applicable to that debt instrument may be modified to account for differences between LIBOR and the applicable replacement benchmark used to calculate the rate of interest payable in respect of that instrument, which modification may be based on industry-accepted spread adjustments or recommendations from various governmental and non- governmental bodies. The Funds cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the anticipated transition away from LIBOR at this time. If the LIBOR replacement rate is lower than market expectations, there could

93

be an adverse impact on the value of debt instruments with floating or fixed-to-floating rate coupons and, in turn, a material adverse impact on the value of the Funds.

 

Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus for a full listing of risks associated with the investments.

 

(9)SECURITIES LENDING

 

ARAF has entered into a Securities Lending Agreement with the US Bank NA (“US Bank”). ARAF can lend its securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. The cash collateral is invested in short-term investments as noted in the ARAF’s Schedule of Investments. ARAF also continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. Loans are collateralized at a value at least equal to 105% of the then current market value of any loaned security that are foreign, or 102% of the then current market value of any other loaned security. All interest and dividend payments received on securities which are held on loan, provided that there is no material default, will be paid to the ARAF. A portion of the income generated by the investment in the ARAF’s collateral, net of any rebates paid by US Bank to the borrowers is remitted to US Bank as lending agent and the remainder is paid to ARAF.

 

Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the ARAF could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, ARAF has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market.

 

ARAF receives cash as collateral in return for securities lent as part of the securities lending program. The collateral is invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC of which the investment objective is to seek to maximize current income to the extent with the preservation of capital and liquidity and maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 per unit. ARAF held $5,128,575 as of September 30, 2022. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities lending transactions is overnight and continuous. ARAF is not subject to a master netting agreement with respect to securities lending; therefore no additional disclosures are required. The income earned by ARAF on investments of cash collateral received from borrowers for the securities loaned to them are reflected in the ARAF’s Statement of Operations.

 

(10)RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND REPORTING UPDATES

 

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (’‘ASU 2020-04’’). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any of applying this ASU.

 

(11)SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

AlphaCentric Funds
EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)
September 30, 2022

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the AlphaCentric Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases of Class A shares; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022.

 

Actual Expenses

 

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The “Hypothetical” columns in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the AlphaCentric Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not either Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

 

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

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Trust’s Liquidity Program Administrator, which is a committee (the “Committee”), and the Board reviewed the Funds’ investments and they determined that, generally, the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Board and Committee concluded that (i) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.

How does Mutual Fund Series Trust protect my personal information?

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.

Why can’t I limit all sharing?

●    affiliates from using your information to market to you.

 

●    sharing for non-affiliates to market to you.
