#### MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS
(Unaudited)

------

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

For the fiscal year ending November 30, 2022, the YCG Enhanced Fund achieved a total net return of (16.56%). During the same time period, the S&P 500 Index had a total return of (9.21%), and the S&P Global Broad Market Index had a total return of (11.74%). The Fund's top five equity winners and top five equity losers during this period were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| TOP FIVE EQUITY | TOP FIVE EQUITY |
| WINNERS | LOSERS |
| The Progressive Corp. | Amazon, Inc. |
| MasterCard, Inc. - Class A | Meta Platforms, Inc. – Class A |
| PepsiCo, Inc. | Alphabet, Inc. – Class C |
| Marsh & McLennan Cos, Inc. | NIKE, Inc. – Class B |
| Aon PLC - Class A | Microsoft Corp. |

---

** 

<br> *The top 5 equity winners and equity losers are determined based on a ranking of the dollar gains and losses of all the equity securities owned in the portfolio over the period specified above. This calculation excludes the portfolio's options positions, which may have experienced a gain or a loss during the period specified. Additionally, the Fund seeks to maximize long term capital appreciation with reasonable investment risk. We believe that one year is too short a period to accurately assess the soundness of our investment strategy, and, thus, we try not to draw too many conclusions from the chart above. Instead, we evaluate ourselves by the Fund's performance over a full economic cycle, which we define as a period that includes both a recession and an economic expansion.*

In our last letter, we discussed why we are confident the Fund's portfolio of global champions can successfully navigate a prolonged period of stagflation (though, given the fundamental unpredictability of the future, we by no means think stagflation is a fait accompli; for proof, just look at how radically economic expectations have changed over the last two years!). While we mentioned a number of key attributes that allow the Fund's portfolio to deal well with stagnant economic growth and high inflation, such as the underlying businesses' conservative balance sheets and the portfolio's diversification across macroeconomic factors, we highlighted the underlying businesses' enduring pricing power as our biggest reason for confidence.

In our view, this enduring pricing power is most often associated with businesses that own dominant networks in industries growing at least as fast as GDP. Therefore, when we evaluate a business, we analyze the size and breadth of its network relative to competitors, whether the network's user numbers and usage per capita are growing or shrinking, whether the network is maintaining or gaining market share, and whether the industry in which the network operates has grown at least as fast as GDP

over time. If a business's network scores highly on these metrics, we believe it is likely to possess some degree of pricing power. Then, in order to gain greater confidence in both the likelihood and degree of this pricing power, we search for evidence that's not merely suggestive of this pricing power but that demonstrates it directly. In the rest of this letter, we'll enumerate the types of evidence we have historically found. Furthermore, given continued investor fears about stagflation, we'll look at how this pricing power evidence increases our confidence in the ability of the businesses the Fund owns to maintain profitability in the face of both raw material and wage inflation.

#### Evidence of Pricing Power
The first piece of evidence of pricing power is high gross margins, which represent the difference between the price at which a company can sell a good and the cost to produce that good. The average company in the S&P 500 has a gross margin of roughly 38%.<sup>1</sup> However, some companies, including a number that we own, have gross margins of 80% or higher. In other words, the average company in the S&P 500 could produce a good for $62 dollars and sell it for $100, or roughly 1.6 times the cost of production, and the 80% gross margin company could produce a good for only $20 and still sell it for $100, an astounding 5 times the cost of production. And this difference in pricing power isn't theory – it's what has actually occurred, providing one of the strongest pieces of pricing power evidence.

The second piece of evidence of pricing power is high operating margins, which represents the difference between the price at which a company can sell a good and the cost to produce, advertise, and market the good as well as any other costs associated with operating the company that sells the good. In our view, if a product truly has a strong network effect, where the value increases exponentially as more users are added, then a company shouldn't have to spend a lot to sell the product once the size of its network meaningfully exceeds most competitors. Rather, the product should, in some sense, sell itself as the network's explosion in value to consumers creates a viral, referral-based, positive feedback loop. Thus, for the businesses the Fund owns with the most powerful network effects, we see both very high gross margins and very high operating margins. A great example is Visa, which has such high margins that its 70% operating margin is over eighty percent higher than the average S&P 500 company's gross margin of 38% and more than four times the average S&P 500 company's operating margin of 16%. Here again, high operating margins demonstrate strong and direct evidence of pricing power.

The third piece of evidence of pricing power is a large, customer-favoring price-value gap, wherein the price at which a company sells a product is much lower than its

value to the customer. There are a number of ways to identify whether this sort of price-value gap exists. The first method is to study the resale market. If a product can routinely be sold at a higher price than the cost to purchase it from the company, this is a strong signal that the company has untapped pricing power. For example, unlike competing handbag brands, almost all of Hermes's handbag styles routinely trade hands in the resale market at higher than retail prices.<sup>2</sup> And this price to value gap tends to increase along with scarcity of the handbags in Hermes's collections. For example, the hard-to-obtain 25 cm Himalayan Birkin bag currently retails for between $45,000 and $65,000 but regularly sells at auction for over $200,000, and the slightly larger 28 cm Himalayan Kelly Bag regularly sells for over $300,000.<sup>3</sup> Many of our other luxury goods holdings exhibit similar dynamics, with Ferrari's LaFerrari coupe having retailed in 2016 for $1.4 million before being sold at auction for up to $7 million<sup>4</sup> and the Dior x Nike Air Jordan 1 sneakers having retailed in 2020 for roughly $2,000 before being resold for as much as $20,000.<sup>5</sup> The second method we use to identify big price-value gaps is to find customer testimonials that compellingly quantify the price versus value of a product or service. One example of these testimonials was an article we found in which the management at Heineken, one of the largest beer manufacturers in the world, decided in 2012, for the first time ever, to hire the rating agencies to rate one of its bond issuances. Despite being one of the largest, oldest, and simplest businesses in the world, management still estimated that getting its bonds rated saved Heineken 30 to 50 basis points per year of interest costs.<sup>6</sup> Given that S&P Global only charged about 7 bps per year for these ratings as recently as 2019,<sup>7</sup> this data point gives us even more confidence in the rating agencies' ability to raise prices at least as fast as inflation for many years to come (not to mention there's already a natural inflation hedge built in since they charge a percentage of the bond issuance). Through similar customers testimonials, we've been able to gain further confidence in the pricing power of businesses such as Adobe and CoStar Group. The third method we use to identify big price-value gaps is to remember that we, too, are customers and to use our own consumer choices as evidence of big price-value gaps. For instance, we use QuickBooks for our back-office accounting, and, as we were analyzing Intuit, we realized none of us could even

recall how much we paid per year for our subscription. When we investigated further, we figured out why. The price of the service is such an inconsequential number relative to its value that even if the price doubled or tripled, we wouldn't hesitate to pay it. As we reflected on other products with which we regularly interact in both our personal and professional lives, we realized our Microsoft Office and Amazon Prime subscriptions provide similarly compelling value relative to their prices.

The fourth and last piece of evidence we try and find is a history of pricing actions that appear to have had little to no impact on customer retention and/or volume growth. For instance, according to a study published a few years ago by the website Baghunter, Hermes Birkin bags increased in value at a compound annual rate of 5.4% over the almost 37-year period from 1980 through the first half of 2017.<sup>8</sup> Inflation, on the other hand, only increased by 2.9% per year over this period. In other words, by the end of the period, it cost nearly three times more dollars to purchase most goods and services but a whopping seven times more dollars to purchase an Hermes Birkin Bag. Yet, despite Hermes's massive price increases, Birkin bags have arguably never been more coveted. Hermes, while certainly a standout, is by no means the only company in the Fund's portfolio with a history of successful price increases. Through our research, we've found numerous examples of the Fund's portfolio companies passing through above-inflation price increases with no discernible impact on retention or long-term volume growth, furthering our confidence in their continued pricing power.

#### Inflation Protection Through Pricing Power
Now that we've explained how we gain greater confidence in the pricing power of the businesses the Fund owns, let's examine how this pricing power could provide better-than-average profitability protection from both the raw material and wage inflation the businesses are currently experiencing. The first challenge of this inflationary environment has been for companies to maintain gross margins in the face of rising energy, food, and other raw material costs. Many of the Fund's businesses, such as its software, credit rating, and payment processing holdings, deal mainly with information and thus have very few raw material costs. As a result, assuming stable demand for their products, they experience almost no profitability impact from raw material inflation. The Fund's luxury and consumer products holdings, on the other hand, are definitely impacted by these higher costs. However, because many have 60% to 70% gross margins, they are much less impacted than the average businesses. For instance, Hermes, with its 65% gross margins, can offset a 10% increase in its raw material costs with only a 3.5% increase in its prices. The average company in the S&P 500, with only 38% gross margins, has to raise prices

by 6.2% to offset the same 10% increase. The second challenge of this inflationary period increasingly appears to be offsetting not just higher raw material costs but sustained wage inflation as well. In such an environment, where costs are rising across the whole income statement, the high operating margins of the businesses the Fund owns are similarly advantageous. Whereas the average business in the S&P 500, with 16% operating margins, has to raise prices by 8.4% to protect its profitability if costs rise by 10% across the board, a business such as Visa, with 70% operating margins, only has to increase prices by 3.0% to protect its profitability. Moreover, and perhaps most importantly, because we believe the evidence shows the Fund's portfolio companies have significant untapped pricing power, we believe they are much more likely than the average company to successfully pass along price increases. In other words, whereas the average company may find that increasing prices decreases demand, we believe the Fund's portfolio companies can increase prices with no negative impact on the number of units they sell.

#### Concluding Thoughts
Inflationary environments are difficult for all stakeholders in an economy, including companies. However, some companies are better able to deal with these inflationary periods than others. Businesses with high gross margins, superior operating margins, significant untapped pricing power, and a demonstrated history of successfully implementing price increases are, in our view, much more likely to protect and grow profitability during these periods than the average business, both because they don't have to raise prices as much to maintain profitability and because, ironically, they also generally have a much greater ability to successfully implement these price increases. Fortunately, the Fund's portfolio is full of such businesses, and, as a result, we are sanguine about its future prospects, especially over the long term.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns about this letter or any other matter, please reach out to us. We're here to help. Finally, thank you so much for your trust, know we're invested right alongside you, and we hope you had a wonderful holiday season!

Sincerely,

The YCG Team

#### Past performance does not guarantee future results.
**Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities without regard to market capitalization, thus investments will be made in mid and smaller capitalization companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity**

**and greater volatility. The Fund may also write put options and covered call options on a substantial portion of the Fund's long equity portfolio, which have the risks of early option contract assignment forcing the Fund to purchase the underlying stock at the exercise price which may be the cause of significant losses due to the failure of correctly predicting the direction of securities prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. The investment in options is not suitable for all investors. Covered call writing may limit the upside of an underlying security. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities which involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility, and differences in accounting methods. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment in lower-rated, non-rated and distressed securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.**

#### EXPENSE EXAMPLE
For the six months ended November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

------

As a shareholder of the YCG Enhanced Fund (the "Fund"), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you may also incur additional costs such as a transaction fee charged on the purchase or sale of the Fund or an asset-based management fee. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the 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 June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022.

#### Actual Expenses
The first line of the table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this line, 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 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

#### Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table on the next page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any costs that may be associated with investing in the Fund through a financial intermediary. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing the ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if any costs associated with investing through a financial intermediary were included, your costs would have been higher.

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2022

------

1. **ORGANIZATION** 

YCG Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust organized under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated September 4, 2012. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended. The Trust consists of one series, YCG Enhanced Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is classified and operates as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act. The Fund commenced operations on December 28, 2012. The Fund's investment adviser is YCG, LLC (the "Adviser"). There are an unlimited number of authorized shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to maximize long-term capital appreciation with reasonable investment risk.

2. **SUMMARY OF 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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, *Financial Services – Investment Companies*.

**a) Subsequent Events Evaluation –** In preparing these financial statements, the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.

**b) 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. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions 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 that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign currency 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. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise

------

#### YCG Enhanced Fund

------

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
November 30, 2022

------

from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

**c) Investment Valuation –** The Fund's investments are valued at fair value. Fair value as used for determining the Fund's net asset value is in contrast to the use of the term "fair value" for making valuation measurements in connection with preparing the Fund's financial statements, as discussed below under "Valuation Measurements." FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurement* uses the term "fair value" to refer generally to the value of an asset or liability, regardless of whether that value is based on readily available market quotations or on other inputs.

Securities which are traded on a national stock exchange are valued at the last sale price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities that are traded on The Nasdaq OMX Group, Inc., referred to as Nasdaq, are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. Exchange-traded securities for which there were no transactions are valued at the current bid prices. Securities traded on only over-the-counter markets are valued on the basis of closing over-the-counter bid prices. Short-term debt instruments maturing within 60 days are valued by the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. Amortized cost is not used if its use would be inappropriate due to credit or other impairments of the issuer, in which case the security's fair value would be determined, as described below. Debt securities (other than short-term instruments) are valued at the mean price furnished by a national pricing service, subject to review by the Valuation Designee and determination of the appropriate price whenever a furnished price is significantly different from the previous day's furnished price. Options written or purchased by the Fund are valued at the last sales price. If there are no trades for an option on a given day, options are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices. If market quotations are not readily available for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, then that security may be valued by another method that the Valuation Designee believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining fair value. Fair value in this context is the value of securities for which no readily available market quotations exist, as determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board.

#### Valuation Measurements
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion

#### YCG Enhanced Fund

------

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
November 30, 2022

------

of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, during the period. In addition, these standards require expanded disclosure for each major category of assets. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of November 30, 2022:

\* Please refer to the schedule of investments to view securities by industry type. <br> \*\* Other Financial Instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as options written, which are reflected at value.

The Fund did not invest in any Level 3 investments during the year.

**d) Option Writing –** The Fund may write covered call options and put options on a substantial portion of the Fund's long equity portfolio as a means to generate additional income and to tax-efficiently enter and exit positions. The Fund will not use this strategy as a means of generating implicit leverage. In other words, if all put options were to be exercised, the Fund will generally have enough cash on hand to purchase the assigned shares. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from options written. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying

security in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Upon writing an option, the Fund is required to pledge an amount of cash or securities, as determined by the broker, as collateral. As of November 30, 2022, the Fund held securities with a value of $12,171,854 and cash of $1,989,213 as collateral for options written. During the year, the Fund used written covered call and put options in a manner consistent with the strategy described above.

#### Derivative Risks
The risks of using the various types of derivatives in which the Fund may engage include the risk that movements in the value of the derivative may not fully offset or complement instruments currently held in the Fund in the manner intended by the Adviser, the risk that the counterparty to a derivative contract may fail to comply with its obligations to the Fund, the risk that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the derivative at a time when the Fund would look to disengage the position, the risk that additional capital from the Fund may be called upon to fulfill the conditions of the derivative contract, the risk that the use of derivatives may induce leverage in the Fund, and the risk that the cost of the derivative may reduce the overall returns experienced by the Fund.

In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies ("Rule 18f-4"). Rule 18f-4 imposes limits on the amount of derivatives the Fund can enter into, eliminates the use of the asset segregation framework currently used by the Fund to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act for most derivatives, and requires the Fund to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Fund has adopted new policies and procedures to comply with Rule 18f-4.

#### Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Fund is subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.

The following is a summary of the Assets and Liabilities subject to offsetting in the Fund as of November 30, 2022:

---

In some instances, the collateral amounts disclosed in the tables were adjusted due to the requirement to limit the collateral amounts to avoid the effect of overcollateralization. Actual collateral received/pledged may be more than the amounts disclosed herein.

**e) Federal Income Taxes –** The Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it

------

#### YCG Enhanced Fund

------

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
November 30, 2022

------

distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The Fund has adopted financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. As of and during the year ended November 30, 2022, the Fund did not have any liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Fund is not subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities for tax years prior to the year ended November 30, 2019.

**f) Distributions to Shareholders –** The Fund will declare and distribute any net investment income and any net realized long or short-term capital gains annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between capital accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.

**g) Use of Estimates –** The preparation of the 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.

**h) Guarantees and Indemnifications –** Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Fund against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

**i) Redemption Fee –** Those who buy and sell the Fund within 30 calendar days will incur a 2% redemption fee, retained for the benefit of long-term shareholders, recorded as additional capital in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

**j) Beneficial Ownership –** The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of the Fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. At November 30, 2022, no shareholder held more than 25% of the outstanding shares of the YCG Enhanced Fund.

**k) Other –** Investment transactions and shareholder transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Net realized gains and losses on securities are computed on the basis of specific identification. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and regulations.

3. **INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS** 

For the year ended November 30, 2022, the aggregate purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, were $45,159,161 and $21,726,443 respectively for the Fund. For the year ended November 30, 2022, there were no long-term purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities for the Fund.

4. **FEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** 

The Adviser acts as the investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") which has been approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement, or interested persons of any such party). Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser, the Adviser conducts investment research and management for the Fund and is responsible for the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund's investment portfolio. The Adviser provides the Fund with investment advice, supervises the management and investment programs and provides investment advisory facilities and executive and supervisory personnel for managing the investments and effectuating portfolio transactions. The Adviser also furnishes, at its own expense, all necessary administrative services, office space, equipment and clerical personnel for servicing the investments of the Fund. With the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, who is an employee of the Adviser, such officers receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles. The Fund makes reimbursement payments to the Adviser for the salary and benefits associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. The compliance fees expensed by the Fund during the year ended November 30, 2022, are included in the Statement of Operations. Under the Advisory Agreement, the monthly compensation paid to the Adviser is accrued daily at an annual rate of 1.00% on the average daily net assets of the Fund.

In the interest of limiting the expenses of the Fund, the Adviser has entered into a contractual expense limitation agreement with the Fund. Pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Adviser (for the lifetime of the Fund) has agreed to waive or limit its fees and assume other expenses of the Fund (excluding interest, taxes,

------

#### YCG Enhanced Fund

------

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
November 30, 2022

------

brokerage commissions and dividend expenses on securities sold short and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business) so that the Fund's ratio of total annual operating expenses is limited to 1.39%. In addition to the lifetime limit, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses to do not exceed 1.19% at least through April 1, 2024. The Adviser is entitled to the reimbursement of fees waived or reimbursed by the Adviser to the Fund subject to the limitations that (1) the reimbursement is made only for fees and expenses incurred not more than thirty-six months following the month in which the reimbursement occurred, and (2) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the Fund's annual expense limitation to be exceeded. The reimbursement amount may not include any additional charges or fees, such as interest accruable on the reimbursement account. During the year ended November 30, 2022, the Fund reimbursed $37,554 of previously waived expenses, waived $30,284 and let $4,225 fees subject to recoupment expire. As of November 30, 2022, the following expenses are subject to recoupment by the Adviser:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Year Ending** | **Year Ending** | **Year Ending** |  |
| **November 30,** | **November 30,** | **November 30,** |  |
| **2023** | **2024** | **2025** | **Total** |
| $74305 | $9068 | $30283 | $113656 |

---

Certain officers, trustees and shareholders of the Fund are also owners or employees of the Adviser.

5. **CERTAIN RISKS** 

**** 

<br> **Non-Diversification Risk:** The Fund is non-diversified. A non-diversified fund may invest more of its assets in fewer companies than if it were a diversified fund. The Fund may be more exposed to the risks of loss and volatility than a fund that invests more broadly.

**Recent Market Conditions:** General economic, political and public health conditions may have a significant adverse effect on the Fund's investment operations and profitability. For example, the global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as "coronavirus") has disrupted economic markets worldwide, as well as the economies of individual countries. The economic fallout from COVID-19, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of COVID-19, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments, impair the Fund's ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund's performance. Additionally, on February 24, 2022, Russia commenced a military attack on Ukraine which has led to

------

#### YCG Enhanced Fund

------

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
November 30, 2022

------

various countries, including the US, imposing economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals and entities. The current political and financial uncertainty regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict may have adverse effects on market volatility and global economic growth as well as the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, among other sectors. The duration of the conflict, potential for escalation and ultimate effects on the Fund cannot currently be predicted.

The above are only a few of the principal risks of the Fund. The other principal risks are discussed in the Fund's most recent Prospectus.

6. **FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION** 

**** 

<br> **A. Tax Basis of Distributions to Shareholders:** The tax character of the distributions paid by the Fund were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Year Ended** | **For the Year Ended** |
|  | **November 30, 2022** | **November 30, 2021** |
| Ordinary Income | $10010993 | $— |
| Long-Term Capital Gains | 38622162 |  |
| Total | $48633155 | $— |

---

**** 

<br> **Reclassifications:** The tax components of distributable earnings are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from the compositions of net assets reported under GAAP. Accordingly, for the year ended November 30, 2022, certain differences were reclassified. The reclassifications were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Paid-in Capital | ($180038 |
| Distributable earnings (accumulated deficit) | $180038 |

---

These differences are primarily due to net operating loss lost.

B. Tax Basis of Investments

As of November 30, 2022, the components of the tax basis cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were as follows:

---

|  | **YCG Enhanced Fund** | **YCG Enhanced Fund** | **YCG Enhanced Fund** |

| Gross unrealized appreciation | 170386632 | 360800 | (134817) |
| Gross unrealized depreciation | (28713120) |  |  |
| Net tax unrealized |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;appreciation (depreciation) | 141673512 | 360800 | (134817) |
| Undistributed ordinary income |  |  |  |
| Undistributed long-term |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;capital gains (loss) |  |  |  |
| Accumulated gain (loss) |  |  |  |
| Other accumulated gain (loss) | (5743810) |  |  |
| Distributable earnings |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(accumulated deficit) | $135929702 | $360800 | ($134817) |

---

The tax basis of investments for tax and financial reporting purposes differs, principally due to the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At November 30, 2022 the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **<u>Short-Term</u>** | **<u>Long-Term</u>** | **<u>Expires</u>** |
| $4166709 | $— | Indefinite |

---

Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund's next taxable year. Qualified late-year ordinary losses are the excess of the sum of the specified loss attributable to the portion of the taxable year after October 31, and the late-year losses attributable to the portion of the taxable year after December 31, over the sum of the specified gains attributable to the portion of the taxable year after October 31, and other ordinary income attributable to the portion of the taxable year after December 31. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, there were late year losses deferred of $1,576,676.

5. **BOARD ANNUAL RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT** 

On October 27, 2022, the Board of Trustees of YCG Funds (the "Trust") met to, among other things, approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the YCG Enhanced Fund (the "Fund"). As part of the process for approving the continuation of the investment advisory agreement, the Trustees reviewed their fiduciary duties and the relevant factors for the Trustees to consider, and the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Fund (the "Independent Trustees") met in executive session to discuss the approval of the continuation of the investment advisory agreement.

In advance of the meeting, YCG, LLC (the "Adviser") sent detailed information to the Trustees to assist them in their evaluation of the investment advisory agreement. This information included, but was not limited to, a memorandum from counsel to the Fund and the Independent Trustees that summarized the legal standards applicable to the Trustees' consideration of the advisory agreement; comparative information relating to the Fund's management fees and other expenses of the Fund; information regarding fees paid and other payments; information on the Adviser's profitability; information about brokerage commissions; comparative information relating to the Fund's performance; information about sales and redemptions of the Fund; information about the Fund's compliance program; and other information the Trustees believed was useful in evaluating the approval of advisory agreement. Counsel to the Fund and the Independent Trustees advised the Trustees on their fiduciary duties under the rules.

All of the factors discussed by the Trustees were considered as a whole, and were considered separately by the Independent Trustees, meeting in executive session. The factors were viewed in their totality by the Trustees, with no single factor being the principal or determinative factor in the Trustees' determination of whether to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement. The Trustees recognized that the management and fee arrangements for the Fund are the result of years of review and discussion between the Independent Trustees and the Adviser, that certain aspects of such arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others and that the Trustees' conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these same arrangements and information received during the course of the year and in prior years.

Prior to approving the continuation of the investment advisory agreement, the Trustees and the Independent Trustees in executive session considered, among other items:

• The nature and quality of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser.

------

#### YCG Enhanced Fund

------

#### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (continued)
(Unaudited)

------

• A comparison of the fees and expenses of the Fund to other similar funds.

• A comparison of the fee structures of other accounts managed by the Adviser.

• Whether economies of scale are recognized by the Fund.

• The costs and profitability of the Fund to the Adviser.

• The performance of the Fund.

• The other benefits to the Adviser from serving as investment adviser to the Fund (in addition to the advisory fee).

The material considerations and determinations of the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, are as follows:

<u>Nature, Extent and Quality of Investment Advisory Services</u>

The Trustees noted that the Adviser supervises the investment portfolio of the Fund, directing the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio, including the purchase and sale of investment securities. They then discussed with management the nature of the investment process employed by the portfolio managers of the Fund, which is research intensive, and discussed staffing at the Adviser. Namely, in making its investment decisions, the Adviser uses a "bottom-up" approach focused on individual companies, which is dependent on independent, in-house, fundamental research to analyze each company considered for investment. The Trustees discussed the staff of the Adviser and the qualifications of the staff, and they concluded that the Adviser is well staffed to conduct the research needed to meet the investment objectives of the Fund.

In addition to the nature of the Adviser's investment process, the Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser's senior management and expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees considered the quality of the material service providers to the Fund, who provide administrative and distribution services on behalf of the Fund and are overseen by the Adviser, and the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser. The Trustees noted that the Adviser actively oversees the service providers to the Fund to ensure that the Fund is well served. Based on this review, the Trustees believe that the Adviser provides high quality services to the Fund, as the Adviser's personnel are focused on servicing the Fund.

In light of the Trustees' discussions and considerations regarding the Adviser, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser, and that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser are appropriate to assure that the Fund's operations are conducted in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

<u>Comparative Fees and Expenses</u>

The Trustees then discussed with management the variables, in addition to the management fees, such as administrative and transaction fees, which impact costs to the shareholders of the Fund. Management reviewed with the Trustees the comparison of the Fund's expense ratios to other similar funds. As part of the discussion with management, the Trustees ensured that they understood and were comfortable with the criteria used by the Adviser to determine the mutual funds that make up the peer groups identified and discussed below.

In the materials provided to the Trustees, there was a report comparing the Fund to two peer groups. The first peer group was a comparison versus the Morningstar Large Cap Blend Category peers, and the second peer group was a comparison versus custom "stockpicking" and "option" peers. In discussing and evaluating the report, the Trustees noted the following:

• While the Fund had higher than average advisory and net expenses compared to the Morningstar Large Cap Blend category peers, the Fund's return over the five-year period is in the top quartile of
 the funds in the category and is outperforming the average fund since inception. The Trustees also noted that unlike most peers in the category, the Fund utilizes an option enhancement strategy.

• The Fund's expense ratio is very favorable compared to option peers, which is important because the Trustees believe that the Fund's option enhancement strategy is a unique strategy that sets the
 Fund apart from its competitors. As noted above, other funds in the Morningstar Large Cap Blend Category generally do not utilize an option strategy.

• The Fund outperformed peer group funds on a since inception and five-year basis and is in the top quartile.

• The Fund performed well against many of the stockpicking and large cap blend category peer group funds.

• The Fund is still relatively small in assets under management, and the Adviser is subsidizing the expenses of the Fund to remain competitive with other funds.

After reviewing and discussing the comparison of the Fund's expense ratios to other similar funds, as noted above, the Trustee's concluded that the expense ratio of the Fund is within a reasonable range of comparable mutual funds, particularly funds that have an option strategy, and that the Fund's fees are reasonable.

<u>Comparison of Fee Structures of Other Accounts</u>

The Trustees then inquired of management regarding the distinction between the services performed by the Adviser for separately managed accounts and those

------

performed by the Adviser for the Fund. The Adviser noted that the management of the Fund involves comprehensive and substantive duties beyond those involved with separate accounts. Specifically, the Adviser noted the following:

• The Adviser provides tailored investment advisory services to the Fund in order to accommodate the cash flow volatility presented by the purchases and redemptions of shareholders, as shareholders
 are able to redeem on a daily basis.

• With regard to the Fund, the Adviser attempts to serve the needs of hundreds of accounts, ranging from direct accounts holding a few thousand dollars to the large omnibus accounts of
 intermediaries.

• The Adviser maintains a robust shareholder communication effort for the Fund to reach shareholders through direct contact, through intermediaries, or via the financial press, and has contributed
 significant financial resources to marketing efforts for the Fund.

• The Adviser focuses on marketing the Fund and has found that the most effective way is through one-on-one meetings with registered investment advisers, which require significant amounts of time
 and resources to attract investors.

• The Adviser coordinates with the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer and other service providers to ensure compliance with regulatory regimens imposed by Federal law and the Internal Revenue Code or
 the Fund (there are not similar requirements that are applicable to separate accounts).

The Trustees concluded that the services performed by the Adviser for the Fund require a higher level of service and oversight than those performed for separate accounts. On the other hand, they noted that the Adviser has found that the client servicing of separately managed accounts can be very resource intensive. As the management of the Fund and the separately managed accounts is distinct, the Trustees concluded that the differential in advisory fees between the Fund and the separate accounts is reasonable and concluded that the fee rate charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser's other clients is reasonable.

<u>Performance</u>

The Trustees reviewed the Adviser's quality of investment management, management history and ability to successfully market the Fund. The Trustees noted that at each quarterly meeting, the Trustees review reports regarding the investment performance of the Fund. Based on the information provided at this meeting and the information and quarterly discussions regarding the Fund's investment performance, the Trustees believe that the Adviser manages the Fund in a manner that is materially consistent with its stated investment objective and style.

------

In assessing the performance of the Fund, which is positive over the long-term time periods, the Trustees noted the following:

• The Fund's return since inception is in the 59th percentile of the funds in the Morningstar Large Cap Blend category.

• The Fund outperformed peer group funds on a since inception and five-year basis.

• The Fund performed well against many of the stockpicking and large cap blend category peer group funds.

The Trustees concluded that the performance of the Fund, particularly adjusting for risk, has been satisfactory on a relative basis and more than satisfactory on an absolute basis. They continue to believe that the Adviser's discipline should lead to more favorable results in the long-term and concluded that renewal of the existing advisory agreement was in the best interest of the Fund's shareholders.

<u>Costs and Profitability</u>

The Trustees considered the cost of services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser. They also considered the Fund's overall expense ratios compared to peer group funds. The Trustees concluded that given the size of the Fund and the niche strategy of the Fund, that the Fund's fee structure is appropriate and reasonable.

The Trustees discussed in detail the profitability this year of the Adviser as it relates to the Fund, and they discussed the impact of the intermediary service fees on the profitability. The Trustees also considered the resources and revenues that the Adviser has put into managing and distributing the Fund and concluded that the level of profitability realized by the Adviser from its provision of services to the Fund is reasonable, and that the overall expense ratios and investment advisory fees were fair and within a reasonable range of industry averages.

<u>Economies of Scale</u>

The Trustees discussed with management whether economies of scale are recognized by the Fund. They noted that as Fund assets grow, certain fixed costs are spread over the larger asset base, which may lead to some economies of scale. On the other hand, the Trustees noted that many of the Fund's expenses are subject to diseconomies of scale. For example, the intermediary service fees increase as the Fund's assets grow.

Given the size of the Fund, the Trustees determined that the Fund has not realized economies of scale. They noted that the expenses for the Fund are currently capped and any excess is paid by the Adviser, which benefits shareholders. The Trustees concluded that the current fees were appropriate at foreseeable asset levels.

<u>Fall-Out Benefits</u>

The Trustees then considered other benefits to the Adviser from serving as Adviser to the Fund (in addition to the advisory fee). The Trustees noted that the Adviser does not derive ancillary benefits from its association with the Fund in the form of proprietary and third-party research products and services, as the Adviser does not receive any research or other services from the broker-dealers that the Fund trades with. They also briefly discussed soft dollars and the fact that the Fund does not utilize them.

It was noted that managing the Fund has provided more visibility for the Adviser in the financial media and industry in general, as the Fund has been highlighted in publications, including national publications. However, the primary focus of these articles has been the Fund.

Based on the Trustees' discussion and analysis, the Trustees concluded that the other benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.

<u>Conclusion</u>

After reviewing the materials provided at the meeting, management's presentation, as well as other information regularly provided at the Board's quarterly meetings throughout the year regarding the quality of services provided by the Adviser, the performance of the Fund, expense information, regulatory compliance issues, trading information and related matters and other factors deemed relevant by the Board, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Not applicable.

#### Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

*A copy of the registrant's Code of Ethics is filed herewith.*

#### Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant's board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Travis E. Oliphant is the "audit committee financial expert" and is considered to be "independent" as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

#### Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. "Audit services" refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. "Audit-related services" refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. "Tax services" refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | FYE 11/30/2022 | FYE 11/30/2021 |
| (a) Audit Fees | $15000 | $14000 |
| (b) Audit-Related Fees | $0 | $0 |
| (c) Tax Fees | $3500 | $3000 |
| (d) All Other Fees | $0 | $0 |

---

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company, Ltd. applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | FYE 11/30/2022 | FYE 11/30/2021 |
| Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
| Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
| All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |

---

All of the principal accountant's hours spent on auditing the registrant's financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant's accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant's investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 11/30/2022 | FYE 11/30/2021 |
| Registrant | $3500 | $3000 |
| Registrant's Investment Adviser | $0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>| $0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>|

---

The audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant's independence.

The registrant has not been identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or completely investigate because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.

The registrant is not a foreign issuer.

#### Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Not applicable to registrants who are not listed issuers (as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

#### Item 6. Investments.

Schedule of Investments is included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this Form.

#### Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable to open-end investment companies.

#### Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable to open-end investment companies.

#### Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

Not applicable to open-end investment companies.

#### Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Not Applicable.

#### Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Registrant's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have reviewed the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act")) as of a
 date within 90 days of the filing of this report, as required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the Act and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on their review, such officers have concluded that the

## Ex-99.Code

#### CODE OF ETHICS

#### FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS OF YCG FUNDS
This Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Senior Financial Officers (referred to in this document as the "Code") has been adopted by YCG Funds (the "Trust"), on behalf of its series (individually, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") to effectuate compliance with Section 406 under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules adopted pursuant to Section 406.

This Code applies to the Trust's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions ("Covered Officers"). A listing of positions currently within the ambit of Covered Officers is attached as **Exhibit A**.<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Purpose of the Code</u>

This Code sets forth standards and procedures that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the prompt internal reporting of violations of this Code to the Code Administrator identified below; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accountability for adherence to this Code.

In general, the principles that govern honest and ethical conduct, including the avoidance of conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, reflect, at the minimum, the following: (1) the duty at all times in performing any responsibilities as the Trust financial officer, controller, accountant or principal executive officer to place the interests of the Trust ahead of personal interests; (2) the fundamental standard that Covered Officers should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions; (3) the duty to assure that the Trust's financial statements and reports to its shareholders are prepared honestly and accurately in accordance with applicable rules, regulations and accounting standards; and (4) the duty to conduct the Trust's business and affairs in an honest and ethical manner. Each Covered Officer should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

____________________<br>

1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The obligations imposed by this Code on Covered Officers are separate from and in addition to any obligations that may be imposed on such persons as Covered Persons under the Code of Ethics adopted by the Trust, under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and any other code of conduct applicable to Covered Officers in whatever capacity they serve. This Code does not incorporate by reference any provisions of the Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics and accordingly, any violations or waivers granted under the Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics will not be considered a violation or waiver under this Code.

------

This Code provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Prohibitions</u> 

The specific provisions and reporting requirements of this Code are concerned primarily with promoting honest and ethical conduct and avoiding conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships. No Covered Officer may use information concerning the business and affairs of a Fund, including the investment intentions of a Fund, or use his or her ability to influence such investment intentions, for personal gain to himself or herself, his or her family or friends or any other person or in a manner detrimental to the interests of a Fund or its shareholders.

No Covered Officer may use his or her personal influence or personal relationships to influence the preparation and issuance of financial reports of a Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund and its shareholders.

No Covered Officer shall intentionally for any reason take any action or fail to take any action in connection with his or her official acts on behalf of a Fund that causes the Fund to violate applicable laws, rules and regulations.

No Covered Officer shall, in connection with carrying out his or her official duties and responsibilities on behalf of a Fund:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud a Fund or its shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) intentionally cause a Fund to make any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading in its official documents, regulatory filings, financial statements or communications to the public;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any Fund or its shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) engage in any manipulative practice with respect to any Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) use his or her personal influence or personal relationships to influence any business decision, investment decisions, or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund or its shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) intentionally cause a Fund to fail to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including failure to comply with the requirement of full, fair, accurate, understandable and timely disclosure in reports and documents that a Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) intentionally mislead or omit to provide material information to a Fund's independent auditors or to the Trust's Board of Directors or the officers of the Trust or its investment adviser in connection with financial reporting matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) fail to notify the Code Administrator or the Chief Executive Officer of the Trust or its investment adviser promptly if he or she becomes aware of any existing or potential violations of this Code or applicable laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) retaliate against others for, or otherwise discourage the reporting of, actual or apparent violations of this Code; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) fails to acknowledge or certify compliance with this Code if requested to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Reports of Conflicts of Interests</u> 

If a Covered Officer becomes aware of a conflict of interest under this Code or, to the Covered Officer's reasonable belief, the appearance of one, he or she must immediately report the matter to the Code's Administrator. If the Code Administrator is involved or believed to be involved in the conflict of interest or appearance of conflict of interest, the Covered Officer shall report the matter directly to the Trust's Chief Executive Officer.

Upon receipt of a report of a conflict, the Code Administrator will take prompt steps to determine whether a conflict of interest exists. If the Code Administrator determines that an actual conflict of interest exists, the Code Administrator will take steps to resolve the conflict. If the Code Administrator determines that the appearance of a conflict exists, the Code Administrator will take appropriate steps to remedy such appearance. If the Code Administrator determines that no conflict or appearance of a conflict exists, the Code Administrator shall meet with the Covered Officer to advise him or her of such finding and of his or her reason for taking no action. In lieu of determining whether a conflict or appearance of conflict exists, the Code Administrator may in his or her discretion refer the matter to the Trust's Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Waivers</u> 

Any Covered Officer requesting a waiver of any of the provisions of this Code must submit a written request for such waiver to the Code Administrator, setting forth the basis of such request and all necessary facts upon which such request can be evaluated. The Code Administrator shall review such request and make a written determination thereon, which shall be binding. The Code Administrator may in reviewing such request, consult at his discretion with legal counsel to OFI or to the Fund.

In determining whether to waive any of the provisions of this Code, the Code Administrator shall consider whether the proposed waiver:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) is prohibited by this Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) is consistent with honest and ethical conduct; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) will result in a conflict of interest between the Covered Officer's personal and professional obligations to a Fund.

In lieu of determining whether to grant a waiver, the Code Administrator in his or her discretion may refer the matter to the appropriate Trust's Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Reporting Requirements</u> 

(a) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each Covered Officer shall, upon becoming subject to this Code, be provided with a copy of this Code and shall affirm in writing that he or she has received, read, understands and shall adhere to this Code.

(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At least annually, all Covered Officers shall be provided with a copy of this Code and shall certify that they have read and understand this Code and recognize that they are subject thereto.

(c) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At least annually, all Covered Officers shall certify that they have complied with the requirements of this Code and that they have disclosed or reported any violations of this Code to the Code Administrator or the Chief Executive Officer of the Trust or its investment adviser.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Code Administrator shall submit a quarterly report to the Board of Directors of the Trust containing (i) a description of any report of a conflict of interest or apparent conflict and the disposition thereof; (ii) a description of any request for a waiver from this Code and the disposition thereof; (iii) any violation of the Code that has been reported or found and the sanction imposed; (iv) interpretations issued under the Code by the Code Administrator; and (v) any other significant information arising under the Code including any proposed amendments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each Covered Officer shall notify the Code Administrator promptly if he or she knows of or has a reasonable belief that any violation of this Code has occurred or is likely to occur. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any changes to or waivers of this Code, including "implicit" waivers as defined in applicable SEC rules, will, to the extent required, be disclosed by the Code Administrator or his or her designee as provided by applicable SEC rules.<sup>2</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Annual Renewal</u> 

At least annually, the Board of Directors of the Trust shall review the Code and determine whether any amendments are necessary or desirable, and shall consider whether to renew and/or amend the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Sanctions</u> 

Any violation of this Code of Ethics shall be subject to the imposition of such sanctions by the Trust as may be deemed appropriate under the circumstances to achieve the purposes of this Code and may include, without limitation, a letter of censure, suspension from employment or termination of employment, in the sole discretion of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Administration and Construction</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The administration of this Code of Ethics shall be the responsibility of the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer or his/her designee as the "Code Administrator" of this Code, acting under the terms of this Code and the oversight of the Directors of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The duties of such Code Administrator will include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Continuous maintenance of a current list of the names of all Covered Officers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Furnishing all Covered Officers a copy of this Code and initially and periodically informing them of their duties and obligations there under;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Maintaining or supervising the maintenance of all records required by this Code, including records of waivers granted hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Issuing interpretations of this Code which appear to the Code Administrator to be consistent with the objectives of this Code and any applicable laws or regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Conducting such inspections or investigations as shall reasonably be required to detect and report any violations of this Code, with his or her recommendations, to the Chief Executive Officer of the Trust and to the Directors of the Trust or any committee appointed by them to deal with such information; and

____________________<br>
