| &nbsp;&nbsp;RiverNorth Active Income ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;$166 | &nbsp;&nbsp;1.55% |

# HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM THE PAST YEAR?
RiverNorth Active Income ETF delivered a positive return of 13.84%, compared to its benchmarks' returns of 2.88% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 17.60% for the S&P 500 Index.

U.S. equities solid gains for the period were underpinned by resilient corporate earnings, moderating inflation, and expectations of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Fixed income securities had modest gains over the same period as falling yields offset earlier losses from higher-for-longer interest-rate concerns.

The Fund's exposure to Closed-End Funds, which collectively hold a diversified mix of equity and fixed income securities, was the primary contributor to performance for the year. The Fund's exposure to BDCs slightly detracted from performance over the period.

Note: The Fund's performance includes information prior to the close of business on August 1, 2025, when the Fund operated as an open-end mutual fund.

# HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS?

# MATERIAL FUND CHANGES THAT OCCURRED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD
This is a summary of certain changes of the Fund since October 1, 2024. For more complete information, you may review the Fund's prospectus, dated July 30, 2025 at https://www.true-shares.com/cefz/ or upon request by calling 877-774-TRUE (8783).

On June 30, 2025, RiverNorth Core Opportunity Fund, a series of the RiverNorth Funds (the "Predecessor Fund") terminated its Class R share Rule 12b-1 plan.

On July 7, 2025, Class I shares of the Predecessor Fund were converted to Class R shares of the Predecessor Fund.

The Fund acquired all of assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund in a tax free reorganization that occurred as of the close of business on August 1, 2025. Performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund has been adopted by the Fund and will be used going forward. As a result, the information for the periods prior to the close of business on August 1, 2025, reflects that of the Predecessor Fund which ceased operations as of the date of the reorganization.

The name of the Predecessor Fund was the RiverNorth Core Opportunity Fund whereas the name of the Fund is the RiverNorth Active Income ETF.

The management fee of the Predecessor Fund was 1.00% and the management fee of the Fund is 0.89%. Distribution (12b-1) Fees for Class R shares of the Predecessor Fund, prior to June 30, 2025, were 0.25%, whereas the Fund does not have a 12b-1 Plan. Due to the Fund's unitary fee arrangement, its annual operating expenses are lower than the annual operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund.

The principal investment strategy of the Predecessor Fund included investments in Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPACs") whereas the Fund does not invest in SPACs as part of its principal investment strategy. Accordingly, the Predecessor Fund was subject to risks of investing in SPACs whereas the Fund is not subject to such risks. The Fund is also subject to certain risks unique to operating as an ETF whereas the Predecessor Fund was subject to certain risks unique to operating as a mutual fund.

The investment adviser of the Predecessor Fund was RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC, which is now the sub-adviser to the Fund. The investment adviser of the Fund is TrueMark Investments, LLC.

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**September 30, 2025**

**NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION**

Elevation Series Trust (the "Trust") was organized on March 7, 2022, as a Delaware statutory trust, and is authorized to issue multiple investment series. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. These financial statements relate to one series of the Trust, RiverNorth Active Income ETF (the "Fund"). The Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation and income.

The Fund commenced operations on December 27, 2006 as RiverNorth Core Opportunities Fund, a mutual fund that was a series of the RiverNorth Funds (the "Predecessor Fund"). On April 3, 2025, the Board of Trustees of RiverNorth Funds approved a tax-free reorganization wherein all of the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund were acquired by the Fund in exchange for whole shares of beneficial interest, no par value per share, of the Fund. The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees also contained provisions for the merging of the Fund's Class I share class into the Class R share class which took place on July 7, 2025 and the termination of the Fund's Class R share Rule 12b-1 plan which occurred on June 30, 2025. In connection with this acquisition as of the close of business on August 1, 2025, shares of the Predecessor Fund's Class R shares were exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of the Fund, and the Fund's net assets and net asset value per share of $35,169,145 and $7.86, respectively, shares outstanding of 4,474,446, net unrealized appreciation/ depreciation of 3,669,232 and the results of operations of the Fund were unchanged from that of the Predecessor Fund as a result of the reorganization. RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC, the Fund's sub-adviser, was the investment adviser to the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund had an investment objective substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Fund is a continuation of the Predecessor Fund, and therefore, the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund has been adopted by the Fund and will be used going forward. As a result, the information in these financial statements and notes to the financial statements for the periods prior to the close of business on August 1, 2025, reflects that of the Predecessor Fund, which ceased operations as of the date of the reorganization.

The Fund currently offers an unlimited number of shares of a single class, without par value, which is listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc (the "Exchange"). The Fund issues and redeems shares only in creation units ("Creation Units") which are offered on a continuous basis through Paralel Distributors LLC (the "Distributor"), without a sales load (but subject to transaction fees, if applicable), at the net asset value ("NAV") per share next determined after receipt of an order in proper form pursuant to the terms of the Authorized Participant Agreement, calculated as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business. The Fund does not issue fractional Creation Units. The offering of the Fund's shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Fund adopted FASB Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). An operating segment is a component of the Fund that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Fund'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 Operations & Risk Committee of the Adviser acts as the Fund's CODM. The Fund is considered an operating segment, and its performance and operating results is reviewed to make informed decisions regarding performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within the Fund's financial statements.

**NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its Financial Statements. The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies, including FASB Accounting Standard Update 2013-08."

**Portfolio Valuation** – The net asset value per share ("NAV") of the Fund is determined no less frequently than daily, on each day that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The NAV is determined by dividing the value the Fund's total assets less its liabilities by the number of shares outstanding.

Equity securities, including common stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, business development companies, rights and warrants, traded on any exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") are valued at the last sale price on the business day. If there has been no sale that business day, the securities are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and ask prices on the business day. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price as determined by NASDAQ. Portfolio securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day. Portfolio securities traded in the over-the-counter market, but excluding NASDAQ, are valued at the last quoted sale price in such market. Investments in mutual funds, including short-term investments and open-end funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds.

U.S. government bonds and notes are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices on the business day. Options are valued at the mean of the highest bid and lowest ask prices on the principal exchange on which the option trades. If no quotations are available, fair value procedures will be used. Debt obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. In certain countries market maker prices are used since they are the most representative of the daily trading activity. Market maker prices are usually the mean between the bid and ask prices. Certain markets are not closed at the time that the Fund's price their portfolio securities. In these situations, snapshot prices are provided by the individual pricing services or other alternate sources at the close of the NYSE as appropriate. Securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and the asked quotes, or the last sale price when appropriate; otherwise fair value will be determined.

Investments in money market funds, including short-term investments, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as level 1 securities.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which TrueMark Investments, LLC (the "Adviser") determines that prices received are unreliable, are valued at fair value according to procedures established and adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Pursuant

RiverNorth Active Income ETF

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**September 30, 2025 (Continued)**

to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the Fund's valuation designee with respect to the fair valuation of the Fund's portfolio securities, subject to oversight by and periodic reporting to the Board.

The Fund discloses the classification of its fair value measurements following a three-tier hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments as of the end of the reporting period. When inputs used fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following is a summary of the Fund's investments in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2025:

*(a)* *For detailed descriptions and other security classifications, see the accompanying Schedule of Investments.* 

**Cash and Cash Equivalents** – Cash and cash equivalents may include demand deposits and highly liquid investments, typically with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

**Securities Transactions and Investment Income**: Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded as of the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign securities when the information becomes available to the Fund. Certain dividend income from foreign securities will be recorded, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date and may be subject to withholding taxes in these jurisdictions. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis using the effective yield method.

**Foreign Securities** – The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in foreign securities. In the event that the Fund executes a foreign security transaction, the Fund will generally enter into a foreign currency spot contract to settle the foreign security transaction. Foreign securities may carry more risk than U.S. securities, such as political, market and currency risks.

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange at period end. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at market close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held.

A foreign currency spot contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign currency spot contracts to settle specific purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate fluctuation. Risks to a Fund include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.

**Distributions to Shareholders:** The Fund generally pays out dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly. The Fund will declare and pay capital gain distributions, if any, in cash at least annually. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with Federal tax requirements.

RiverNorth Active Income ETF

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**September 30, 2025 (Continued)**

**Federal Income Tax:** For federal income tax purposes, the Fund intends to qualify, as a regulated investment company under the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by distributing substantially all of its earnings to its stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined and characterized in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund as a whole.

As of and during the year ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses, in the Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2025, there were no interest or penalties incurred by the Fund. The Fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. There are no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

**NOTE 3 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**

As a part of its investment strategy, the Fund may invest to a lesser extent in derivatives contracts. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent in derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity or debt securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.

**Risk of Investing in Derivatives**: The Fund's use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected, resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allow the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund's performance.

Associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that a Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.

Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell or close out the derivative in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. In addition, use of derivatives may increase or decrease exposure to the following risk factors:

Equity Risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow

**Total Return Swaps**: The Fund may enter into total return swap agreements. The Fund may utilize swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to the securities in a market without actually purchasing those securities, or to hedge a position. A total return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of the assets underlying the contract, which may include a specified security, basket of securities, or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from other underlying assets. Swap agreements will usually be done on a net basis, i.e., where the two parties make net payments with a fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The net amount of the excess, if any, of a fund's obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or equivalents having an aggregate value at least equal to the accrued excess is maintained by the Fund.

The total return swap contracts are subject to master netting agreements, which are agreements between the Fund and its counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Fund through a single payment, in the event of default or termination.

The Fund did not hold any total return swap agreements as of or during the year ended September 30, 2025.

*RiverNorth Active Income ETF Advisory Agreement Approval* 

 

At meetings held on November 5, 2024 and December 11, 2024 (collectively, the "Meeting"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Elevation Series Trust (the "Trust") considered the approval of an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Elevation Series Trust (the "Trust") and TrueMark Investments, LLC ("TMI") on behalf of CEFZ and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between TMI and RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC ("RiverNorth") (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement").

The Board was assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the Advisory Agreement review process. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The Board's conclusions were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee might have afforded different weights to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the approval of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements.

*CEFZ Advisory Agreement*

 

<u>Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided.</u> The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the Advisory Agreement, noting that TMI currently provided advisory services to RiverNorth Core Opportunity Fund, the fund that would be reorganizing into CEFZ (the "Existing Fund"), and would provide similar services to CEFZ. The Board noted the depth of TMI's experience in the management of other registered funds, including a suite of 18 exchange traded funds ("ETFs") listed on the NYSE, Cboe and NASDAQ exchanges. The Board reviewed TMI's best execution practices and its process for evaluating broker-dealers to ensure best execution. In examining the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services to be provided by TMI, the Trustees considered the qualifications, experience and capabilities of TMI's management team and other personnel. The Board acknowledged the proposed investment team's experience and knowledge in investment operations similar to that of CEFZ. The Board considered the firm's detailed strategies proposed for CEFZ, noting that TMI would identify and mitigate risks by confirming that the necessary policies and procedures to address inherent risks including portfolio risks, conflicts of interest, investment limitations etc., are included in TMI's compliance manual.

The Board noted that it had received a copy of TMI's Form ADV, as well as the response of TMI to a detailed series of questions which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of the firm's key personnel, the firm's compliance program, and the services provided by TMI. The Board considered the growth of TMI over recent periods and the strong financial strength of the firm. In conclusion, the Board agreed that TMI can be expected to continue to provide satisfactory service to CEFZ and its shareholders.

<u>Performance</u>. The Board reviewed historical information for the Existing Fund, noting for the period since inception, the Existing Fund's performance relative to the universe and peer group across various periods. The Trustees considered information provided by the firm, noting firm management felt other funds that invested primarily in CEFs and ETFs would be better comparisons than the funds FUSE selected. In conclusion, the Trustees agreed that TMI's proposed investment strategy and the Existing Fund's historical performance appeared to be reasonably designed to achieve satisfactory performance for the Fund's shareholders.

<u>Cost of Services Provided</u>. The Board reviewed the proposed advisory fee for CEFZ, which was proposed as a "unitary fee" under which TMI would pay all expenses of CEFZ except for the management fee and certain other costs such as interest, brokerage, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses. Accordingly, the Board agreed that a comparison of CEFZ's unitary management fee to the respective peer funds' total expense ratio in the FUSE Report was appropriate. The Board also stated that as all fees were paid from this unitary fee, the proposed unitary management fee reflected a not-unreasonable allocation of the advisory fees paid to the firm given the work performed by it.

The Board considered that it was provided a comparison of the Fund's fees to a group of ETFs and mutual funds selected by FUSE ("FUSE Peer Group"). The Board noted that, when compared to the FUSE Peer Group, CEFZ's proposed advisory fee was slightly lower than the average in the FUSE Peer Group but at the median within the range of the FUSE Peer Group funds. With the context of each of the above items, the Board concluded that the proposed unitary management fees for CEFZ were not unreasonable.

<u>Economies of Scale and Profitability.</u> The Board evaluated the compensation and benefits to be received by TMI from its relationship with CEFZ and reviewed an analysis of TMI's expected profitability with respect to the work to be completed for CEFZ, noting the profits anticipated for CEFZ, if any, were not-unreasonable profit across the initial two-year term of the Advisory Agreement.

<u>Conclusion</u>. Having requested and received information from TMI as it believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice and guidance of legal counsel, the Board concluded that approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of CEFZ and its shareholders.

*CEFZ Sub-Advisory Agreement*

<u>Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided</u>. The Trustees considered the scope of services provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that RiverNorth currently provided advisory services to the Existing Fund and would provide similar services to CEFZ. The Board considered the quality of RiverNorth's compliance program, as well as the experience of RiverNorth in providing similar services to other ETFs. The Board noted that it had received a copy of RiverNorth's Form ADV, as well as RiverNorth's response to a detailed series of questions that included, among other things, information about RiverNorth's decision-making process, the background and experience of the firm's key personnel, and the firm's compliance policies, brokerage information and other practices. The Board noted that its counsel had reviewed the firm's financial statements. The Board considered the fact that RiverNorth would have responsibility for the general management of the day-to-day investment and reinvestment of the assets of CEFZ; determining the daily baskets of deposit securities and cash components; executing portfolio security trades for purchases and redemptions of CEFZ's shares conducted on a cash-in-lieu basis, among others. The Board also considered RiverNorth's recognized status in the industry with respect to portfolio management services given the number of ETFs for which it provides similar sub- advisory services.

<u>Performance</u>. The Board noted that overall performance considerations considered at the advisory level also applied at the sub-advisory level.

<u>Cost of Services Provided</u>. The Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fees to be paid by TMI to RiverNorth for its services to CEFZ. The Board considered that the fees to be paid to RiverNorth were paid by TMI, not the Fund, as part of its unitary fee arrangement and agreed that fund-to-fund comparisons were most appropriate at the advisory level. The Board agreed that the RiverNorth fees reflected a not-unreasonable allocation of the advisory fees paid to each firm given the work performed by each firm and noted that the fees were in line with those charged by RiverNorth for managing other funds.

<u>Economies of Scale and Profitability</u>. The Board evaluated the proposed compensation and benefits to be received by RiverNorth from its relationship with CEFZ and reviewed an analysis of RiverNorth's profitability with respect to the work to be completed for CEFZ, noting that it earned a not-unreasonable profit from its work with the Existing Fund.

<u>Conclusion</u>. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the compensation payable under the agreement, was fair and reasonable to CEFZ. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of CEFZ and its shareholders.

[Elevation Series Trust N-CSR](cefz-ncsr_093025.htm)

**Exhibit 99.CODE ETH**

Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Senior Financial Officers

**POLICY AND PROCEDURE**

1. **Introduction.** 

a. **General Principles.** This Code of Ethics ()"**Code**") establishes rules of conduct
for "Principal Executive" and "Senior Financial" officers ()"**Covered Officers**") of the Elevation
Series Trust ()"**EST**") (the "**Trust** "), and is designed to implement a high standard of business ethics
and sensitivity to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

b. **Applicability**. For purposes of this Code, the term "Covered Officer" shall mean:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. The Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer of the Trust, each of whom are set forth
in **Exhibit A** (as amended from time to time) for the purpose of promoting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest
between personal and professional relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant
files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications made by the Trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified
in the Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. accountability for adherence to the Code.

2. **Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest.** 

c. **Overview**. A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest
interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the Trust. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer,
or a member of his or her family, receives improper or undisclosed personal benefits as a result of his or her position with the Trust.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Trust and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions contained in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("**Investment Company Act**") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("**Investment Advisers Act**"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Trust because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Trust. The Trust and the Trust's investment advisers' (collectively, the "**Advisers**") compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code, however, does not and is not intended to repeat or replace these other programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Trust and the Advisers of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trust or for the Advisers, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Advisers and the Trust. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Trust and the Advisers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trust. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Trust's Board of Trustees ("**Boards**") that the Covered Officers may also be officers of employees of one or more other registered investment companies ("**RICs**") covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by this Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The fundamental principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Trust:

Each Covered Officer:

Shall not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust.

Shall not cause the Trust to take actions, or fail to take actions, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than for the benefit of the Trust.

Shall not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Trust to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

Shall not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Trust or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith.

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed with or approved by the General Counsel (defined below) or the Committee (defined below) if material. Examples of these include:

service as a director on the board of any public or private company (other than the Trust);

the receipt from any company with which the Trust has current or prospective business dealings of any non-nominal gifts in excess of $500.00;

the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trust has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trust's service providers, other than its Advisers, administrator or any affiliated person thereof;

a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trust for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

**3.** **Disclosure and Compliance**. Each Covered Officer is subject to each of the following disclosure
and compliance obligations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with all disclosure requirements generally applicable
to the Trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the
Trust to others, whether within or outside the Trust, including to the Trust's trustees and auditors, and to governmental regulators
and self- regulatory organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult
with other officers and employees of the Trust and the Advisers with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
disclosure in the reports and documents the Trust files with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trust;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions
imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

4. **Reporting and Accountability. Each Covered Officer must:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. upon adoption of the Code (or as soon thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm
in writing to the Boards that he or she has received, read and understands the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. annually thereafter affirm to the Boards that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. notify the General Counsel promptly of any violations of this Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. report to the Board at least annually the listed categories of affiliations or other relationships related
to conflicts of interest contemplated in the Trust's Trustees and Officers Questionnaire.

The general counsel or other designated senior legal officer of the Trust's Advisers or administrator (the "**General Counsel**") is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any approvals or waivers sought by the Principal Executive Officer or the Senior Financial Officer must be considered by the Legal Compliance Committees of the Trust's Board (the "**Committee**").

The Trust will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

The General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him.

If, after such investigation, the General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, the

General Counsel is not required to take any further action;

Any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the Committee;

If the General Counsel and the Principal Executive Officer are the same person, any violations concerning such person shall be reported directly to the Committee and the Committee shall take such action as required by this Code;

If the Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a recommendation to the Board, which will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the Advisers or their boards/members; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer;

The Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

5. **Other Policies and Procedures.** This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Trust
for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder.
Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trust, the Advisers or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior
or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or
conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Trust's and the Advisers' codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment
Company Act and the Advisers' more detailed policies and procedures set forth in the Trust's compliance manuals are separate
requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others and are not part of this Code.

6. **Amendments.** Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved
or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of independent trustees.

7. **Confidentiality.** All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered
confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not
be disclosed to anyone other than the Board of Trustees and its counsel, the Trust and its Advisers.

8. **Internal Use.** The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trust and does not constitute
an admission, by or on behalf of the Trust, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

Adopted: May 18, 2022
