ALTERNATIVES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 2026
| 1. | ORGANIZATION |
New Alternatives Fund (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 12, 2014. The Trust currently offers one series of shares, also known as “New Alternatives Fund” (the “Fund”) . The Fund is the successor to New Alternatives Fund, Inc. (the “Predecessor Company”), a New York corporation that commenced operations in 1982. The Fund is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). On November 14, 2014, the Predecessor Company was reorganized into the Fund. The Fund was organized for the purpose of continuing the investment operations and performance history of the Predecessor Company and prior to the reorganization had no substantial assets or prior history of investment operations. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares: Class A Shares and Investor Shares. Class A Shares represent a continuance of the original class of shares offered by the Predecessor Company. Class A Shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge. Investor Shares are also subject to 12b-1 fees. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation, with income as a secondary objective. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in equity securities. The equity securities in which the Fund invests consist primarily of common stocks. Other equity securities in which the Fund may invest include “Yieldco’s”, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and publicly-traded master limited partnerships (“MLPs”). The Fund makes investments in a wide range of industries and in companies of all sizes. The Fund invests in equity securities of both U.S. and foreign companies, and has no limitation on the percentage of assets invested in the U.S. or abroad. Under normal market conditions, at least 25% of the Fund’s total assets will be invested in equity securities of companies in the alternative energy industry. “Alternative Energy” or “Renewable Energy” means the production, conservation, storage and transmission of energy to reduce pollution and harm to the environment, particularly when compared to conventional coal, oil or nuclear energy.
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The Fund is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.
Segment Reporting - An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is comprised of the portfolio manager and Chief Financial Officer of the Trust. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund’s income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION – The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued based on the official closing price or the last reported sale price on national securities exchanges where they are primarily traded or on the National Association of Securities. Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. That is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. If there were no sales on that day or the securities are traded on other over- the-counter markets, the mean of the last bid and asked prices prior to the market close is used. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are amortized based on their cost. Certificates of Deposit are valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates market value and are categorized in Level 2.
Non-U.S. equity securities are valued based on their most recent closing market prices on their primary market and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates on the day of valuation. The Fund may hold securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. As such, the Fund’s NAV may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Fund shares.
If the market price of a security held by the Fund is unavailable at the time the Fund prices its shares at 4:00 p.m. Eastern

time, the Fund will use the “fair value” of such security as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment advisor as “valuation designee” under methods established by and under the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investments. The Fund may use fair value pricing if the value of a security it holds has been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund’s pricing time but after the close of the primary markets or exchange on which the security is traded. This most commonly occurs with foreign securities, but may occur in other cases as well. Certain foreign securities are fair valued by utilizing an external pricing service in the event of any significant market movements between the time the Fund valued such foreign securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets. On a quarterly basis, the valuation designee’s fair value determinations will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees. The Fund does not invest in unlisted securities.
The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s net assets are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of June 30, 2026 in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:
New Alternatives Fund
| Assets* | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
| Common Stock | $ | 296,235,237 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 296,235,237 | ||||||||
| Certificate of Deposits | — | 317,117 | — | 317,117 | ||||||||||||
| Total | $ | 296,235,237 | $ | 317,117 | $ | — | $ | 296,552,354 | ||||||||
The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period ended June 30, 2026.
| * | Refer to the Schedule of Investments for security classifications. |
At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the classification of Level 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
The Fund utilizes an external pricing service to fair value certain foreign securities in the event of any significant market movements between the time the Fund valued certain foreign securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Significant market movements were not deemed to have occurred at June 30, 2026, and therefore, the Fund did not utilize the external pricing service model adjustments. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period.
B. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION – 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

NEW
ALTERNATIVES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2026
securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. If foreign currency translations are not available, the foreign exchange rate(s) will be valued at fair market value using procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
The 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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Such gains or losses are included in net realized gain or loss from currency transactions on the Statement of Operations.
C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date order to buy or sell is executed). The cost of investments sold is determined by use of specific lots for both financial reporting and income tax purposes in determining realized gains and losses on investments.
D. INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION – Dividend income is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as possible after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable diligence. Interest income, including amortization/accretion of premium and discount, is accrued daily. Return of capital distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of the related investments. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and reclaims as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which that Fund invests. The Fund applies for refunds where available. Expenses are accrued on a daily basis. Fund level expenses common to all classes are allocated to each class based upon relative daily net assets of each class. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received.
E. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually to shareholders and recorded on ex-date. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on unrealized and realized gains on certain foreign investments. The Fund will accrue such taxes and reclaims, as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the market in which the Fund invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
F. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES – The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and annually distributing substantially all net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the current tax year or on returns filed in previous tax years which are still open to examination by all major tax authorities (generally, federal returns are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing) The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations when incurred. During the fiscal year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund typically intend to annually distribute sufficient net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains if any, so that they will not be subject to the excise tax on undistributed income of RICs. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed annually, the Fund could incur a tax expense.
G. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses

during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. OTHER – In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss for such claims is considered remote.
I. ALLOCATION – Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses, which are not attributable to a specific class, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund.
J. CASH – Cash represents amounts held on deposit with the Fund’s custodian bank. Balances at times may exceed federally insured limits.

The Fund’s share price is based upon the daily net asset value of its shares. The Fund’s offering price for its Class A Shares is the net asset value per share plus a front-end sales charge. The front-end sales charge provides payment to brokers or the underwriter and/or sub-distributor of the Fund. The Class A Shares of the Fund do not have any distribution (i.e., Rule 12b-1) charges, service charges or redemption fees. The front-end sales charge you pay depends on the dollar amount invested, as shown in the table below. Front-end sales charges are not imposed upon reinvested dividends or distributions. Investor Shares are subject to 12b-1 fees, as discussed below in Note 4. Investor Shares are not subject to a sales charge but are subject to a 2.00% redemption fee imposed on any Investor Shares redeemed within sixty days of their purchase. For the period ended June 30, 2026, the redemption fees charged by the Funds are included in the capital share amount in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and can also be found broken out above.

principal underwriter) of the Fund’s shares pursuant to a Sub-Distribution Agreement. For its investment advisory services, the Fund pays Accrued Equities an annual management fee of 1.00% of the first $25 million of average daily net assets; 0.50% of the next $475 million of average daily net assets; and 0.40% of average daily net assets more than $500 million. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly, in arrears. The Fund incurred management fees of $800,033 for the period ended June 30, 2026.
The Fund pays no remuneration to two of its trustees, David J. Schoenwald and Murray D. Rosenblith, who are also officers and owners of Accrued Equities.
Foreside Funds Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as the principal underwriter of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement for the limited purpose of acting as statutory underwriter to facilitate the distribution of shares of the Fund. The Distributor has entered into a Sub-Distribution Agreement with Accrued Equities. The Fund charges a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.50% on most new sales of the Fund’s Class A Shares. Of this amount, the Distributor and Accrued Equities receive the net underwriter commission and pay out the remaining sales commission to other brokers who actually sell new Class A Shares. Their share of the sales commission may vary. The aggregate underwriter commissions on all sales of Class A Shares of the Fund for the period ended June 30, 2026, was $5,982 and the amounts received by the Distributor and Accrued Equities were $1,994 and $3,988, respectively. The Distributor and Accrued Equities are also entitled to receive sales commissions for the sale of Class A Shares. For the period ended June 30, 2026, the Distributor and Accrued Equities received $1,133 and $647 in sales commissions, respectively, for the sale of Class A Shares of the Fund. Underwriter commissions and sales commissions received by the Distributor are set aside by the Distributor and used solely for distribution-related expenses.
Investor Shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the “Rule 12b-1 Plan”) for its Investor Shares in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b- 1 under the 1940 Act. The Rule 12b-1 Plan provides that the Fund may pay a fee to Accrued Equities, the Distributor, or certain broker-dealers, investment advisers, banks or other financial institutions at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investor Shares to finance certain activities primarily intended to sell such Investor Shares. For the period ended June 30, 2026, 12b-1 Fees of $21,151 were accrued by the Investor Shares of the Fund.
The Board of Trustees has authorized the Class A Shares of the Fund to pay sub-transfer agent fees to financial intermediaries, including securities dealers, that provide shareholder account-related services to their customers who own Class A Shares of the Fund, or to reimburse Accrued Equities for such expenses it reimbursed on behalf of the Class A Shares. The sub-transfer agent services provided must be necessary and may not duplicate services already provided by a Fund service provider. The sub-transfer agent services may not be for distribution-related services. The fees paid by the Class A Shares may not exceed the fees that would have been incurred by customers of the financial intermediaries if they maintained their customer account directly with the Fund.
| 5) | TRUSTEES’ FEES |
For the period ended June 30, 2026, the Fund paid trustees’ fees of $19,424 to its Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”).

| 9) | RISKS |
Foreign Securities – Investing in foreign securities (including depositary receipts traded on U.S. exchanges but representing shares of foreign companies) involves more risks than investing in U.S. securities. Risks of investing in foreign companies include currency exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. The political, economic and social structures of some foreign countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the U.S. Brokerage commissions and other fees may be higher for foreign securities. Foreign companies may not be subject to the same disclosure, accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards as U.S. companies. These risks can increase the potential for losses in the Fund and affect its share price.
Cash and Foreign Currency Concentration – Cash and foreign currency consists of cash and foreign currency on deposit with financial institutions. Cash held in banks periodically exceeds the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) insurance coverage of $250,000, and as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance coverage.
Concentration – Under normal market conditions, at least 25% of the Fund’s total asset will be invested in equity securities of companies in the Alternative Energy industry. A downturn in this group of industries would have a larger impact on the Fund than on a fund that does not concentrate its investments. As of June 30, 2026 the Fund had 33.7% of its net assets invested in Alternative Energy companies.
| 10) | ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT |
The Fund adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements and modifies or eliminates certain existing disclosure provisions. The amendments in this ASU are intended to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information and to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Fund’s adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.
| 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 determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
Accrued Equities, Inc. (the “Advisor”) serves as the investment adviser to New Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”) . The Board of Trustees most recently approved the continuance of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”) at a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on March 17, 2026. The March 17, 2026 meeting was called, in part, to act upon the continuance of such Advisory Agreement. At this meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the continuance of such Advisory Agreement for a period of one year beginning March 31, 2026, under the same terms and conditions, including the provision for fees. This approval by the Board of Trustees included the approval by a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and by a majority of the entire Board.
The Advisor serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. The Advisor previously served as the investment adviser to New Alternatives Fund, Inc. (the “Predecessor Company”), a New York corporation that commenced operations in 1982. On November 14, 2014, the Predecessor Company was reorganized into the Class A Shares of the Fund. The Fund was organized to continue the investment operations and performance history of the Predecessor Company.
It was noted that the Independent Trustees were represented at this meeting by independent counsel.
Prior to the Meeting, the Board received and reviewed certain materials concerning the Advisory Agreement renewal. The materials included: (i) a proposed resolution; (ii) a copy of Accrued Equities’ responses to a request for information necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement renewal (the “Adviser Questionnaire”); (iii) an executed compliance program certificate; (iv) a copy of Accrued Equities’ current Form ADV, Part I; (v) audited financial information for Accrued Equities for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2025; (vi) an organizational chart for Accrued Equities; (vii) a copy of Accrued Equities’ Written Supervisory Procedures/Compliance Procedures; and (viii) a copy of the Investment Advisory Agreement.
At the meeting, the Board was given the opportunity to speak with the Advisor’s Chief Compliance Officer and the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.
The Board noted that some of the information received in the Board materials referred to the historical relationship between the Advisor and the Predecessor Company.
The Adviser Questionnaire provided to the Board contained detailed information concerning the Investment Adviser and the Advisory Agreement, including: (i) information on the Investment Adviser, its business and its services; (ii) information concerning the employees of the Investment Adviser who service the Fund; (iii) information on the Investment Adviser’s investment process; (iv) performance information comparing the Fund and the Predecessor Company to other, similar mutual funds and to its benchmark index; (v) information on the Investment Adviser’s trading and brokerage practices; (vi) information concerning investment advisory fees paid to the Investment Adviser by the Fund; (vii) information concerning other fees earned by the Investment Adviser with respect to its relationship with the Fund, such as net underwriting fees, sales commissions for the sale of the Fund’s shares and Rule 12b-1 fees; (viii) information concerning investment advisory fees and total operating expenses as a percentage of net assets paid

by the Fund and other, similar mutual funds; and (ix) other information concerning the Investment Adviser such as information concerning its compliance procedures, code of ethics and insurances.
It was noted that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Advisor established its remote work procedures and has been able to provide uninterrupted service to the Fund. Generally, at least one person has been in the office every business day.
Independent counsel reviewed with the Board various sections of the Advisor Questionnaire and the Advisor’s audited financial statements.
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, decided to approve the renewal of the Advisory Agreement for a one year period commencing March 31, 2026, based upon their evaluation of: (i) the long-term relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Fund, including the Predecessor Company; (ii) the Investment Adviser’s commitment to the Fund’s investment objectives and its socially responsible investment policies, and the Investment Adviser’s ability to manage the Fund’s portfolio in a manner consistent with those objectives and policies; (iii) the depth of experience and expertise of the Investment Adviser with regard to the alternative energy market; (iv) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided; (v) the historical performance of the Fund, including the Predecessor Company; and (vi) the costs of the services provided and the profitability of the Investment Adviser from its relationship with the Fund.
In general, the Independent Trustees considered it to be most significant that the proposed investment advisory arrangements would assure a continuity of relationships to service the Fund. The Board also noted that the Advisor continued to provide investment advisory services exclusively to the Fund and that the firm has been committed to alternative energy investing since the Predecessor Company’s commencement of operations over 40 years ago.
The Board considered the nature, quality and scope of the investment advisory services that had been provided to the Fund and the Predecessor Company by the Advisor in the past and the services that were expected to continue in the future. Further, the Board considered the Advisor’s personnel assigned to service the Fund. The Board considered the decrease in assets in the Fund during the year. The Advisor represented to the Board that the size of the Fund was still manageable by the portfolio management team currently in place. The Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of the investment advisory services provided by the Advisor were very good.
The Board considered the performance results of the Fund, including the Predecessor Company, over various time periods. They reviewed information comparing the Fund’s performance with the performance of other, similar mutual funds and with its broad-based benchmark index. The Fund’s industry peer group was comprised of two other socially responsible mutual funds with an international scope and a focus on the environment and renewable energy. Mr. Rosenblith stated that there had been no change in the composition of the industry peer group from the prior year. The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance both with the sales load factored in and without the sales load. This was done because one of the funds in the industry peer group and the broad-based benchmark index did not have sales loads.
Both classes of the Fund’s shares outperformed one of the Fund’s industry peers for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 and underperformed the Fund’s industry peer for the five-year and ten-year (or life of the class, if shorter) periods ended December 31, 2025. Both classes of the Fund’s shares underperformed the Fund’s other industry peer for the one- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2025 and outperformed this same industry peer for the ten-year (or life of the class, if shorter) period ended December 31, 2025. Both classes of the Fund’s shares outperformed its broad-based benchmark index for the one-year period, and underperformed its broad-based benchmark for the five-year and ten-year (or life of the class, if shorter) period ended December 31, 2025.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2026
The Board considered the investment advisory fees and other expenses paid by the Fund directly and in comparison to information regarding the fees and expenses incurred by the Fund’s industry peer group. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee for the Fund had breakpoints that lowered the investment advisory fee rate as Fund assets reached certain levels. The Board also noted that the other comparable funds in its industry peer group were each subject to an expense limitation cap but that the Fund’s expense ratio reflected total gross expenses without any waivers or expense reimbursements. Mr. Rosenblith noted that the Fund’s investment advisory fee, after breakpoints, was 0.54% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Investment Adviser’s investment advisory fee as a percentage of average net assets, giving effect to the breakpoint fee schedule, was significantly lower than that of its industry peers. In addition, total annual fund operating expenses of the Fund were comparable to or lower than that of its industry peer group. Based on the foregoing, the Board determined that the investment advisory fee was appropriate.
The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed other aspects of the Advisor, such as the profitability of the Advisor, the benefits each party received from their long-term relationship, the Advisor’s entrepreneurial risks, and the fact that the Advisor was eligible to receive other compensation from the relationship. The Board noted favorably that the Advisor was using its own resources to assist in the sales and marketing activities of the Fund.
The audited financial information provided by the Advisor indicated that the Advisor was well capitalized and profitable. In addition, the Board noted that the Advisor had no expense limitation commitments with the Fund.
The Board noted that the Advisor was also a registered broker-dealer and was eligible to receive underwriting fees and sales commissions on the sale of Fund shares, as well as fees from the Investor Shares’ Rule 12b-1 plan. The Board noted that two of the trustees, David J. Schoenwald and Murray D. Rosenblith, were owners, directors and/or officers of the Advisor, and would benefit by the approval of the investment advisory and sub-distribution agreements, and the continuation of the Rule 12b-1 plan for Investor Shares.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s brokerage policies noting that the Advisor does not engage in any directed brokerage or soft dollar transactions. Best price and execution were the Advisor’s brokerage criteria.
In their deliberations, the Board did not rely upon comparisons of the services to be rendered and the amounts to be paid under the contract with those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisers with other registered investment companies or other types of clients (e.g., pension funds and other institutional investors). These factors were considered not to be relevant in a situation where the Board was determining whether to re-approve the agreement with an existing entity on the same terms and conditions. Such factors would be relevant to considering and approving new investment advisory agreements with other investment advisory entities. In addition, the Advisor does not service any other investment advisory accounts.
