Greetings LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund Shareholders,

We are pleased to present our annual report. This report summarized our annual performance, and provides an audited accounting of LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund ending May 31, 2022. Below is the summary (ticker symbol LBETX) of the Fund's principal investment strategy.

The Fund seeks to provide total return from capital appreciation and income with lower volatility than the S&P 500 Index1, with a secondary objective of limiting risk during unfavorable or declining market conditions. The Fund seeks its objective by investing in unaffiliated equity exchange traded funds (ETFs) when we believe equity markets may rise, and selling the equity ETFs and investing in unaffiliated bond ETFs or money market funds when we believe equity markets may decline. Our decisions are based on our technical research and analysis, including monitoring price movements and price trends. By applying its technical research and analysis, we seek to produce returns over a complete market cycle with lower volatility, or "beta" than the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index has a beta of "1"2.

Our Concerns Entering 2022

We previously described economic and stock market data concerns that individually were historical market headwinds yet combined could be recipes for a bear stock market. For instance:

The FED balance sheet that exploded from $3.8 to $9 trillion, and U.S. deficit that exploded from $22 to $30 trillion since 2018.
Inflation rising faster than any time in the last 40 years.
Rising interest rates.
The FED halting $120 billion per month of quantitative easing, while implementing quantitative tightening by decreasing that same $120 billion per month off their balance sheet to lower it back to the $3.8 trillion level.
Stock valuations as extreme as 1929 and 2000 yet markets reached all-time highs.

Our response to these concerns is reflected in our 2022 performance and maximum drawdown charts below, including our success in minimizing sell-offs vs. the S&P 500 and NASDAQ since the Fund's inception.

Maximum Drawdown* 2017- 2022 (ending 5/31/22)

* Maximum Drawdown is the largest decline from peak to low in value.

LBETX Cumulative Return and Growth of $10,000 (since inception 6/12/17)

Moving Forward

Our economic and stock market data concerns entering 2022 remain. Many Wall Street research analysts predict zero-percentage S&P 500 returns over the next decade. The S&P 500 ended May 31, 2022 -12.76% yet many investors believe it cannot sell-off further. However, the S&P 500 sold-off over 50% in both the 2000-2002, and 2008-2009 bear markets. Further, the current economic environment appears similar to 1999 and 2008 when many investors lost 40% or more. For example, a $1,000 investment that tracked the S&P 500 in year 2000 became $707.49 by the end of 2008, a -29.25% loss. Worse, when adjusted for inflation it was a -43.41% loss without factoring in withdrawals needed in retirement. For these reasons, LBETX may appeal to retirement focused investors, and those 50 years and older approaching retirement with little or no time to recover losses due to their age. Instead of having their 401k and retirement accounts exposed to constant risk, including LBETX in their portfolio may be appealing.

We are pleased LBETX outperformed the S&P 500 over the three month, six month, and one-year period ended May 31, 2022, with minimized drawdowns, and lower beta compared to the S&P 500. We anticipate, and seek to continue top performing in future volatile and bear markets. Additional information can be found at: www.LGMCapitalManagement.com. We thank the Fund's shareholders for making this important opportunity possible.

Cheers!

1 The S&P 500 is an American stock market index based on the market capitalization of 500 large companies. It is widely regarded as one of the best representations of the U.S. stock market, and is a benchmark for many professional money managers.
2 Beta is a measurement of market risk or volatility. A beta of 1 represents the volatility of the S&P 500, against which other mutual funds and their betas are measured. If a mutual fund has a beta of one, it will move the same amount and direction as the S&P 500. A beta greater than 1 indicates the mutual fund tends to be more volatile than the S&P 500, and a beta less than 1 means it tends to be less volatile than the S&P 500.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW (Unaudited)
May 31, 2022

Average Annual Total Return through May 31, 2022*, as compared to its benchmark:

One Year Three Year Since Inception (b)
LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund - Institutional Class 2.39% -0.19% 2.31%
S&P 500 Total Return Index (a) -0.30% 16.44% 13.30%
* Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Prior to October 1, 2020 the Adviser had contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund ("Waiver Agreement"), to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Reimbursement (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads; brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses; borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); taxes; and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses (which may include indemnification of Fund officers and Trustees, contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the Adviser))), did not exceed 1.55% of the daily average net assets attributable to Institutional Class shares. This expense limitation expired on September 30, 2020. The fee waivers and reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund by the Adviser in future years (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed) if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limitation in place at the time of wavier and the expense limitation in place at the time of recapture. The Fund's total annual net and gross operating expenses, including underlying funds, are 2.26% for Institutional Class per the Fund's prospectus dated September 28, 2021. Shares redeemed within 90 days of purchase are subject to a 2.00% redemption fee. The performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would have to pay on Fund distributions, if any, or the redemption of the Fund shares.
(a) The S&P 500 Total Return Index, is a market capitalization-weighted index of 500 widely held common stocks. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
(b) Inception date is June 12, 2017.

LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2022
1. ORGANIZATION

The LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of shares of Northern Lights Fund Trust IV (the "Trust"), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 2, 2015, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on June 12, 2017. The Fund's objective is to provide total return from capital appreciation and income with lower volatility than the S&P 500 Index, with a secondary objective of limiting risk during unfavorable or declining market conditions.

The Fund currently offers Institutional Class shares. Institutional Class shares are offered at net asset value. Effective September 24, 2020, the remaining Investor Class shares of the Fund converted to into Institutional Class shares.

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 policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (''GAAP"), which require 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. 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 Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies", including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.

Security Valuation - The Fund records its investments at fair value. Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined or, in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ, at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity at time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value, including the short-term investment currently held.

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 using the "fair value" procedures approved by the Board of Trustees ("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) adviser. 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.

Valuation of Underlying Funds - The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the "Underlying Funds"). Mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price. Open-end investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value to the methods established by the board of directors of the open- end funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies and ETFs, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company or ETF purchased by the Fund will not change.

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) adviser. 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) 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 adviser, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the adviser to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

price is available; the spread between bid and ask 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 adviser 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 adviser 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.

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 inputs 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 May 31, 2022, for the Fund's investments measured at fair value:

Assets* Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Short-Term Investment $ 12,006,481 $ - $ - $ 12,006,481
Total $ 12,006,481 $ - $ - $ 12,006,481

The Fund did not hold any Level 2 or 3 securities during the year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
May 31, 2022

Exchange Traded Funds - The Fund may invest in ETFs. ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock. An index ETF represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities in their portfolio, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

Security Transactions and Related Income - Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities using the 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. Dividends that represent long term capital gain distributions from underlying investments are reclassified out of dividend income and presented separately for financial reporting purposes. The Fund holds certain investments which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the 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 (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards) 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 values per share of the Fund.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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 has been recorded. 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 years ended May 31, 2019 through May 31, 2021, or expected to be taken in the Fund's May 31, 2022 year-end tax returns. 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. The Fund identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, Ohio, and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. 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.

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 (as determined by the Board), taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.

Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents, if any, are held with a financial institution. The assets of the Fund may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks and such deposits generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. The FDIC insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 for each accountholder. The Fund maintains cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The counterparty is generally a single bank rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The Fund places deposits only with those counterparties which are believed to be creditworthy and there has been no history of loss.

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.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

LGM Capital Management, LLC serves as the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"). Pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, the Adviser, 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 Adviser, the Fund pays the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, based on the Fund's average daily net assets and is computed at the annual rate of 1.00%. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Fund accrued $170,708 in advisory fees for the year ended May 31, 2022.

Prior to October 1, 2020, the Adviser had contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund ("Waiver Agreement"), to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Reimbursement (exclusive fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses) and derivatives of any front-end or contingent deferred loads; brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses; borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); taxes; and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses (which may include indemnification of Fund officers and Trustees, contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the Adviser))), did not exceed 1.55% of the daily average net assets attributable to Institutional Class shares. This expense limitation expired on September 30, 2020. These fee waivers and reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund by the Adviser in future years (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed) if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limitation in place at the time of wavier and the expense limitation in place at the time of recapture. During the year ended May 31, 2022, the Fund recaptured $0.

Of the total amount of advisory fees waived subject to recapture, $43,058 will expire May 31, 2024 and $52,554 will expire May 31, 2023.

In addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Fund as follows:

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC ("UFS"), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Trust. Pursuant to a separate servicing agreement with UFS, the Fund pays UFS customary fees for providing administration, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the Fund as shown in the Statement of Operations. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving in such capacities.

Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC ("NLCS"), an affiliate of UFS and the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives customary fees from the Fund which are included in "Compliance officer fees" in the Statement of Operations.

Blu Giant, LLC ("Blu Giant"), an affiliate of UFS and the Distributor, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Fund on an ad-hoc basis as shown in the Statement of Operations. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from the Fund which are included in "Printing and postage expenses" in the Statement of Operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund and

Board of Trustees of Northern Lights Fund Trust IV

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Northern Lights Fund Trust IV, as of May 31, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five periods in the period then ended (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of May 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five periods in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Fund's auditor since 2018.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)
May 31, 2022

Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with LGM Capital Management, Advisors LLC

In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") of Northern Lights Fund Trust IV (the "Trust") held on April 25, 2022 (the "Meeting"), the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement (the "LGM Advisory Agreement") between LGM Capital Management,, LLC ("LGM") and the Trust, with respect to LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund ("LGMTR"). In considering its renewal the Trustees received materials specifically relating to the LGM Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting. The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the LGM Advisory Agreement on behalf of the LGMTR and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the renewal of the LGM Advisory Agreement.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees reviewed materials provided by LGM related to the proposed renewal of the LGM Advisory Agreement, including a description of the manner in which investment decisions are made and executed. The Trustees noted that although LGM has limited resources, LGM has demonstrated the ability to provide quality services for the day-to-day management and operation of LGMTR. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that LGM would continue to provide a level of service consistent with their expectations.

Performance. The Trustees reviewed LGMTR's performance as compared to its Broadridge peer group, Morningstar category and benchmark for the one-year, three-year and since inception periods ended January 31, 2022. The Trustees noted that LGMTR underperformed its Morningstar category median and its Broadridge peer group median for the periods. The Trustees acknowledged that LGMTR's investment objective was to provide total return from capital appreciation and income with lower volatility than the S&P 500 Index, with a secondary objective of limiting risk during unfavorable or declining market conditions. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that overall, LGMTR's past performance was less than satisfactory but in-line with its investment objectives and the level of risk undertaken by LGM.

Fees and Expenses. The Trustees noted that LGM's advisory fee of 1.00% was in line with the Broadridge selected peer group average for the period ended January 31, 2022. They further noted that the advisory fee was higher than the Morningstar Category average fee of 0.58% but below the Category high for the period ended January 31, 2022. The Trustees discussed LGMTR's 1.91% net expense ratio, which was higher than the Morningstar category average of 0.69%, but below the Broadridge peer group high of 2.21% for the period ended January 31, 2022. After discussion, the Trustees concluded that LGMTR's advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Profitability. The Trustees reviewed a profitability analysis provided by LGM and noted that LGM realized a modest profit in connection with its relationship with the LGMTR. After review and discussion, the Trustees concluded that based on the services provided by LGM and the current assets of LGMTR, that the profitability of LGM's relationship with LGMTR was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees discussed the size of LGMTR and its prospects for growth, concluding that it had not yet achieved meaningful economies that would necessitate the establishment of breakpoints. They noted that LGM indicated its willingness to discuss breakpoints with the Trustees as LGMTR's asset size grows.

Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from LGM as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the LGM Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees determined that the renewal of the LGM Advisory Agreement for the LGMTR was in the best interests of the LGMTR and its shareholders.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)
May 31, 2022

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund you will incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, and/or other fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire six-month period from December 1, 2021 to May 31, 2022 (the ''period'').

Actual Expenses

The first table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information 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 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 table below 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 transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Fund has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the "Liquidity Rule") under the 1940 Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources.

During the year ended May 31, 2022, the Trust's Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the "Committee") reviewed the Fund's investments and determined that the Fund held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that (i) the Fund's liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Fund's liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.

The registrant's Audit Committee also is required to pre-approve, when appropriate, any non-audit services (including audit-related, tax and all other services) to its adviser, or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, to the extent that the services may be determined to have an impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant. Services are reviewed on an engagement by engagement basis by the Audit Committee.

(2) Percentages of Services Approved by the Audit Committee
2022 2021
Audit-Related Fees: 0.00 % 0.00 %
Tax Fees: 0.00 % 0.00 %
All Other Fees: 0.00 % 0.00 %
(f) During the audit of registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant's accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant:

2022 - $0

2021 - $0

(h) The registrant's audit committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
