## How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
**Performance Overview**

Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund ("DYMIX" or "the Fund") outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Total Return Index ("S&P 500 Index TR") for the period from July 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025, returning 14.52% compared with 11.00% for the S&P 500 Index TR.

**Market Factors, Contributors and Detractors Impacting Fund Performance**

As the Fund is structured with two differing strategies, impacts will be discussed as such:

**Strategic Equities**

The Fund's equity holdings were broadly positive for the period, with contributions across growth, value, and dividend-focused ETF positions. The Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQM) and Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF (VONG) were the leading contributors, while dividend income from Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) and Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) provided additional support.

**Fundamental Global Macro Strategy ("Macro Strategy")**

Gold and Silver were the dominant contributors for the period, generating substantial gains as precious metals benefited from global uncertainty and safe-haven demand. Coffee futures also contributed positively. Detractors included Live Cattle, Copper, Natural Gas, and short S&P 500 and 2-Year Treasury Note futures, which faced headwinds as markets moved against those positions during the second half of the year.

As always we remain flexible, and positions can change at any time. For more information be sure to read the monthly commentary available at www.dynamicalphafunds.com.

**1.** **ORGANIZATION** 

Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Advisors Preferred Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 15, 2012 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund is a "fund of funds", in that the Fund will generally invest in other investment companies. The Fund commenced operations on July 31, 2023. The Fund currently offers Institutional Class shares which are offered at net asset value.

**2.** **SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946, *Financial Services – Investment Companies*.

**Operating Segments –** An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is comprised of the portfolio manager and Chief Financial Officer of the Trust. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

**Securities Valuation –** Fund securities will be valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each security's primary exchange, and securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges (whether domestic or foreign) for which market quotations were readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale will be valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean of the current bid and ask price on the primary exchange. Securities primarily traded in the National Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") National Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ price. Futures and future options are valued at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Gold futures are valued at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at net asset value. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at the time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

DAMF Fund Limited ("DAMF Ltd.") is a wholly-owned and controlled foreign subsidiary of the Fund that can invest in exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), exchange traded notes ("ETNs"), physical commodities and derivatives. See "Consolidation of Subsidiary" for additional information.

The Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued at their fair value as determined using the "fair value" procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to a fair value committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor and/or sub-advisor. The committee may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.

**Fair Valuation Process –** As noted above, the fair value committee is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor and/or sub-advisor. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i)

---

|:---|
| **Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund** |
| **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)** |
| **December 31, 2025** |

---

securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the advisor, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the advisor to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a "significant event") since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to the Fund's calculation of its net asset value. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the advisor based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the advisor is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value committee shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Fund's holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

**Valuation of Investment Companies –** The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the "Underlying Funds"). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their fair values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value to the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.

Open-ended mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, and ETFs frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company or ETF purchased by the Fund will not change.

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

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

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

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

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

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

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of December 31, 2025 for the Fund's investments measured at fair value:

\* Refer to the Consolidated Schedule of Investments for security classifications.

^ Includes cumulative unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts open at December 31, 2025.

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities during the current period.

**Consolidation of Subsidiary –** The consolidated financial statements of the Fund include the accounts of DAMF Ltd., a wholly-owned controlled subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in DAMF Ltd., which acts as an investment vehicle in order to affect certain investments consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies. The subsidiary commenced operations on August 2, 2023 and is an exempted Cayman Islands company with limited liability.

A summary of the Fund's investment in DAMF Ltd. is as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;Inception Date of<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;DAMF Ltd. | &nbsp;&nbsp;DAMF Ltd. Net Assets at<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;December 31, 2025 | &nbsp;&nbsp;Percent of Net Assets at<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;December 31, 2025 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;DAMF Ltd. | &nbsp;&nbsp;8/2/2023 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$37640313 | &nbsp;&nbsp;18.74% |

---

**Cash and cash equivalents –** Cash represents cash deposits held at financial institutions. The fair value of cash approximates the carrying value. Cash is held for meeting short-term liquidity requirements, rather than for investment purposes. Cash is held at major financial institutions and, at times, may be in excess of federally insured limits and expose the Fund to credit risk. There is a cash balance of $35,488,257 held by the Fund as of December 31, 2025.

**Security Transactions and Related Income –** Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities using effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. The accounting records are maintained in U.S. Dollars.

**Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders –** Dividends from net investment income and distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are

---

reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results from operations or net asset value per share of the Fund.

**Federal Income Tax –** It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax year ended June 30, 2024 or expected to be taken in the Fund's June 30, 2025 year-end tax returns.

The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments; however the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

For tax purposes, DAMF Ltd. is an exempted Cayman Islands investment company. DAMF Ltd. has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits, and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, DAMF Ltd. is a Controlled Foreign Corporation ("CFC") and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned CFC, DAMF Ltd's net income and capital gains, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Fund's investment company taxable income.

**Expenses –** Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.

**Indemnification –** The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

**3.** **INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS** 

For the six months ended December 31, 2025, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments, amounted to $7,029,945 and $1,406,900, respectively.

**4.** **OFFSETTING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND DERIVATIVE ASSETS** 

**Impact of Derivatives on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Consolidated Statement of Operations**

**5.** **RISKS** 

**Principal Investment Risk –** As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the Fund's net asset value and performance. The following risks apply to the Fund through its direct investments as well as indirectly through investments in Underlying Funds and the subsidiary (DAMF Ltd.).

**General Market Risk –** The risk that the value of the Fund's shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Fund's investments and other factors affecting the commodities and/or securities market generally.

**Exchange Traded Funds –** The Fund may invest in ETFs. ETFs are typically a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and typically represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Fund may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile.

**Mutual Fund and ETN Risk –** Mutual funds and exchange traded notes ("ETNs") are subject to investment advisory or management and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. Each is subject to specific risks, depending on investment strategy. Also, each may be subject to leverage risk, which will magnify losses. ETNs are subject to default risks. ETNs may not provide an effective substitute for gold bullion because changes in derivative prices held by these instruments may not track those of the underlying gold bullion.

**Futures Contracts –** The Fund is subject to commodity risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities and interest rates. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. If the Fund was unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. The Fund segregates cash having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. During the normal course of business, the Fund purchases and sells various financial instruments, which may result in risks, the amount of which is not apparent from the consolidated financial statements.

---

**Derivatives Risk –** Futures are subject to inherent leverage that may magnify Fund losses. These derivatives may not provide an effective substitute for commodities fund because changes in derivative prices may not track those of the underlying commodities. Also, over-the-counter forwards are subject to counterparty default risk.

**Commodities Risk –** Exposure to commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The prices of energy, industrial metals, precious metals, agriculture, and livestock sector commodities may fluctuate widely due to factors such as changes in value, supply and demand and governmental regulatory policies. The commodity-linked securities in which the Fund invests may be issued by companies in the financial services sector, and events affecting the financial services sector may cause the Fund's share value to fluctuate.

**Gold Risk –** The price of gold may be volatile and gold bullion-related ETFs, ETNs and derivatives may be highly sensitive to the price of gold. The price of gold bullion can be significantly affected by international monetary and political developments such as currency devaluation or revaluation, central bank movements, economic and social conditions within a country, transactional or trade imbalances, or trade or currency restrictions between countries. Physical Gold bullion has sales commission, storage, insurance and auditing expenses.

**6.** **INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES** 

Advisors Preferred LLC ("Advisor"), serves as investment adviser to the Fund. The Advisor has engaged Dynamic Wealth Group, LLC (the "Sub-Advisor") to serve as the sub-advisor to the Fund. Sub-Advisor expenses are the responsibility of the Advisor. The Advisor has engaged AG Capital Partners, L.P., to serve as the futures trading advisor to the fund. The Advisor pays the futures trading advisor.

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Funds, the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Advisor, the Funds pays the Advisor an investment advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Fund paid $1,430,349 in advisory fees.

The Sub-Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or part of its sub-advisory fees and/or make payments to limit the expenses of the Fund (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expense on securities sold short, expenses of investing in underlying funds, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) at least until October 31, 2026 for the Institutional Class so that the total annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.87% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund.

Waivers and expense payments may be recouped by the Sub-Advisor from a Fund, to the extent that overall expenses fall below the expense limitation, within three years of when the amounts were waived or reimbursed.

**Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement**

**Approval of the Renewal of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for The Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund (and its subsidiary)**

At an in-person Board meeting held on May 21, 2025 (the "Meeting"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Advisors Preferred Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of Trustees who are not "interested persons" (the "Independent Trustees"), as such term is defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreements") between Advisors Preferred, LLC (the "Adviser" or "Advisors Preferred") and the Trust, on behalf of Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund (and its subsidiary) ("Dynamic Alpha" and "DAMF Fund Limited", respectively); and the renewal of the sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement) between the Adviser and Dynamic Wealth Group, LLC . (the "Sub-Adviser" or "DWG" or "Dynamic Wealth"); and the renewal of the Futures Trading Agreement (the "Trading Agreement" between the Adviser, and AG Capital Management Partners, L.P. ("AG Capital" or the "Trading-Adviser"). The Board and the Directors of the DAMF Fund Limited, a wholly owned foreign subsidiary of Dynamic Alpha, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between DAMF Fund Limited and the Adviser (the "Subsidiary Advisory Agreement"); renewal of the sub-advisory agreement (the "Subsidiary Sub-Advisory Agreement") between the Adviser and DWG with respect to the DAMF Fund Limited; as well as renewal of the Futures Trading Agreement ("the "Subsidiary Trading Agreement") between the Adviser and AG Capital. The Fund level Advisory, Sub-Advisory, and Trading Agreements, and the subsidiary agreements (all together the "Agreements") are referred to collectively for convenience and references to the Fund include the subsidiary as the context indicates. The Trustees' and Directors' deliberations are presented as collective deliberations as they were conducted concurrently. and refences to the Board also include the Directors.

The Board then reviewed and discussed the written materials that were provided by Advisors Preferred, DWG and AG Capital in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the renewal of the Agreements with respect to Dynamic Alpha (and subsidiary DAMF Fund Limited). The Board

**Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued) December 31, 2025**

members relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgement in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Agreements with respect to Dynamic Alpha. The Board conducted some of their deliberations on a joint basis for the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, and Trading Adviser given the close working relationship of the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and Trading Adviser, and conducted their deliberations on a consolidated basis for the Dynamic Alpha and its subsidiary.

***Nature, Extent and Quality of Services:*** With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided, the Board reviewed the Adviser's Form ADV, and the Sub-Adviser's Form ADV, a description of the manner in which investment decisions, including asset allocation, sector selection and trade execution, are made for Dynamic Alpha by the Sub-Adviser, a description of the services provided by the Adviser and those services provided by the Sub-Adviser, Trading Adviser and those executed by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the experience of professional personnel from both the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and Trading Adviser performing services for the Dynamic Alpha, including the team of individuals that primarily monitor and execute the investment and administration process, and the portfolio managers. The Board considered the depth of resources of the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and Trading Adviser. Further, the Board reviewed a certification from each of the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and Trading Adviser certifying that each has adopted a Code of Ethics containing provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons, as that term is defined in Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, from engaging in conduct prohibited by Rule 17j-1(b) and noted that each have adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating such Code of Ethics.

*<u>Advisors Preferred:</u>* The Board reviewed the balance sheet of the Adviser as of March 31, 2025, and the income statement and balance sheet at March 31, 2025 and the profit and loss statement for January through March 31, 2025. The Board also reviewed the audited financials of the Adviser as of December 31, 2024. The Adviser reported $1.5 billion in total assets under management in active mutual funds and Ms. Ayers-Rigsby noted the commitment from the Adviser to raise assets and fees as discussed earlier. The Board confirmed with Ms. Ayers-Rigsby that the Adviser has access to additional capital if so required.

The Board discussed the Adviser's compliance program with the CCO of the Trust. The Board considered that the CCO of the Trust also serves as CCO of the Adviser and was recently appointed to serve as the CCO for The North Country Funds. The Trustees acknowledged they are confident in her abilities with respect to all positions, and Trustees were comfortable that if a conflict of interest were to arise, counsel would be called upon for a solution. The Board noted that the Adviser continues to have in place procedures which are currently working to prevent violations of applicable securities laws. The CCO confirmed that she has the support and resources to ensure the compliance procedures of the Trust are updated in accordance with current SEC rules. The Board considered that the cybersecurity risk of the Adviser is managed by Sikich LLP (a cybersecurity consultancy)with no data breaches reported. The Board discussed the overall technology of the Adviser with the CCO. The Adviser confirmed adequate Directors &

**Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued) December 31, 2025**

Officers Error & Omissions Professional Liability Insurance ("E&O/E&O") is in place. Counsel noted the Board had previously reviewed the business continuity plan for the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Adviser has qualified professionals, resources, and compliance policies essential to performing its duties under the Agreements. The Board reviewed financial statements of the Adviser and concluded it has sufficient financial resources to fulfill Trust-related obligations, based in part on a representation that the Adviser has access to additional capital, as needed.

*<u>Dynamic Wealth and AG Capital:</u>* The Board reviewed the financial data for both DWG, and AG Capital who serves as Sub-Adviser and Futures Trading Adviser, respectively, to Dynamic Alpha. They reviewed the Cash Flow of DWG for the calendar year ended December 31, 2024, and balance sheet at April 30, 2025. With respect to AG Capital, the Board reviewed the balance sheet at March 31, 2025, and profit and loss statement as of March 31, 2025. The Board found both DWG and AG Capital to be financially sound to continue to service Dynamic Alpha.

Ms. Holland reported she had reviewed the policies and procedures manual of both DWG and AG Capital, including their latest revisions and business continuity plans. The Board noted that Dynamic Wealth has plans to procure D&O/E&O coverage of $1 million. DWG uses FinGarde to provide technology in a compliant and secure fashion, and there were no cyber security issues to report.

The Board determined that Dynamic Wealth and AG Capital have a compliance program in place that is reasonably designed to prevent violation of the applicable federal securities laws. The Board noted they are familiar with the portfolio managers of each and their qualifications in managing the Fund.

***Performance.*** The Board considered that the Adviser delegates day-to-day investment decisions to the Sub-Adviser and, therefore, does not directly control the performance of the Dynamic Alpha. The Board considered the Adviser's other responsibilities under the Agreements, including with respect to trade oversight, reviewing daily positions and balance reports for Dynamic Alpha, obtaining derivative agreements for the Fund and reporting to the Board. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser appears to be properly and reasonably monitoring the Sub-Adviser's and Trading Adviser's adherence to the Dynamic Alpha's investment objectives and to be carrying out its functions appropriately.

With respect to the performance, the Board reviewed the Sub-Adviser's daily management and investment strategies and considered the updated performance of Dynamic Alpha through March 31, 2025 compared to their primary benchmark and Morningstar category for various periods provided by the Adviser. The Board recalled the earlier detailed presentations by the portfolio manager of DWG with respect to strategy and Dynamic Alpha's performance for various periods with explanations for over/under performance.

**Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued) December 31, 2025**

The Board reviewed the Fund's performance for the one-year period and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025 and found the Fund, outperformed the S&P 500 Index, its benchmark, the Barclays Global Macro Index and the Morningstar Macro category for both periods. They noted the Morningstar category was not available for the since inception period. The Board discussed the experience of both the Sub-Adviser and the Trading Adviser, stating they are very pleased with the Fund's performance and expect it to continue to be strong.

In summary, for the performance of Dynamic Alpha, the Board felt that with Adviser oversight, under the Sub-Adviser's and Trading Adviser's portfolio management Dynamic Alpha is expected to continue to provide acceptable returns for shareholders over the long term.

***Fees and Expenses:*** As to the costs of the services provided to Dynamic Alpha by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, and Trading Adviser, respectively, the Board reviewed and discussed the advisory fee and total operating expenses of Dynamic Alpha compared to its peer group and Morningstar category or categories as presented in the Meeting Materials. The Board acknowledged that the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser and Trading Adviser directly consistent with agreements, any breakpoints in effect, and the expense limitation agreement.

The Board noted the advisory fee of 1.50% for Dynamic Alpha was well within the range of management fees for the Morningstar Macro Trading and the Systematic Trend categories. The Board reviewed fee split with the Sub-Adviser and Trading Adviser and the respective breakpoints and found them to be reasonable. The Trustees discussed net expenses of 1.98% for Institutional Class shares and found them above the average and well within the Macro Trading Institutional expense range. With respect to estimated expenses for Dynamic Alpha Investor Class, the Board found the net expenses of 2.38% to be above the Morningstar Macro Trading A, yet within range of the Morningstar Systematic Trend A category.

In the review of expenses with respect to Dynamic Alpha, the Board reviewed and considered the split of the Advisory fee between the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, and Trading Adviser (each being paid by the Adviser, not the Fund), and determined it was acceptable and reasonable for the services being provided to Dynamic Alpha . The Board concluded that the advisory fees and net expenses of Dynamic Alpha were reasonable, taking into consideration the complex investment strategy.

***Profitability of Adviser.*** The Board considered the level of profitability for the Adviser, and if their fees were the result of arms-length negotiations with respect to the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the levels of profits to the Adviser for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 from Dynamic Alpha with respect to advisory fees and from the total relationship with the Fund. They considered whether profits from Dynamic Alpha were reasonable in light of services provided, including the assets levels and payments to the Sub-Adviser, and any breakpoints in fee structures for the Fund.

**Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued) December 31, 2025**

With respect to Dynamic Alpha, the Adviser reported a loss from the advisory fee and from its total relationship with the Fund. The Board considered the fee split and break points with respect to assets for both the Sub-Adviser and Trading Adviser to be reasonable for the services provided. In conclusion, the Board found that any excess profits to the Adviser from Dynamic Alpha it not a current concern.

***Profitability of Sub-Adviser:*** The Board reviewed the levels of profits to the Sub-Adviser for the year ended June 30, 2024 with respect to Dynamic Alpha . They noted the situation for the Fund with respect to sub-advisory fees and from the total relationship with the Fund. The Board, in consultation with counsel, noted that current court rulings with respect to profitability suggest up to or even over a 70% profit margin for any adviser or sub-adviser could be acceptable and not considered excessive.

The Board reviewed the profitability report submitted by DWG for the period from the Fund's inception through December 31, 2024 and found DWG operated the Fund at 34% profitability from sub-advisory fees. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser's profits decreased to 24% when taking into account the direct marketing expenses (anticipated to be up to $150,000 per year) in promoting the Fund. The Board concluded that excess profits to the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Fund is not a concern at current asset levels.

The Board reviewed the profitability report submitted by AG Capital for serving as Futures Trading Adviser for the period from the Fund's inception through December 31, 2024 and found AG Capital operated the Fund a loss. The Board concluded that excess profits to AG Capital from its relationship with the Fund is not a concern at current asset levels.

***Economies of Scale.*** As to the extent to which the Dynamic Alpha will realize economies of scale, the Adviser reported an estimate of $500 million be the minimum asset level required to reach such economies of scale. The Board discussed the Adviser's expectations for the growth in net assets of Dynamic Alpha and concluded that any material economies of scale were not a concern at present assets levels. The Trustees noted economies of scale is an advisory agreement concern and is not a consideration for approval of any sub-advisory agreements. The Board agreed to revisit economies of scale as assets of Dynamic Alpha continue to grow.

***Conclusion****.* Counsel assisted the Board throughout the 15(c) review process. The Board members relied upon the advice of Counsel, and their own business judgement, in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Agreements. In considering the approval, the Board noted that each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions.

Accordingly, having requested and received such information from the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, and Trading Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of each Agreement as appropriate; the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that, with respect to the Agreements, separately that (i) the terms of the Agreements

**Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued) December 31, 2025**

are reasonable; (ii) the compensation payable by Dynamic Alpha to Advisors Preferred under the Agreements is determined to be for investment advisory services that are not primarily intended to result in sales of shares of the Fund (iii) compensation payable under the Agreements is based on services provided that are in addition to rather than duplicative of services provided by other investment funds, ETFs, mutual funds and similar productions (iv) such compensation is determined to be fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable business judgement and (v) the Agreements are in the best interests of Dynamic Alpha and its shareholders.
