Expense Examples (Unaudited)
September 30, 2023

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including broker commissions on the purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund specific expenses. The Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2023 – September 30, 2023).
 
 
ACTUAL EXPENSES
 
The first line of each table 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 titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
 
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
 
The second line of each table 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 tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of each 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 may have been higher.

Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2023

1.  ORGANIZATION
 
Series Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated July 27, 2015. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic Trading ETF (“Democratic Trading ETF”) and the Unusual Whales Subversive Republican Trading ETF (“Republican Trading ETF”) (each separately a “Fund,” or collectively, the “Funds”) each has its own investment objectives and policies with the Trust. The Funds commenced operations on February 6, 2023. The Funds’ investment adviser, Subversive Capital Advisor LLC (the “Adviser”) is responsible for providing management oversight, investment advisory services, day-to-day management of the Funds’ assets, as well as compliance, sales, marketing, and operations services to the Funds. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Funds do not hold themselves out as related to any other series of the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor do they share the same investment adviser with any other series of the Trust. Organizational costs that were incurred to establish the Funds to enable them to legally do business were paid for by the Adviser. These payments are not recoupable by the Adviser.
 
The Democratic Trading ETF seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of publicly traded companies that sitting Democratic members of United States Congress and/or their families also have reported to have invested in through public disclosure filings made by such Congresspersons pursuant to the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (“STOCK Act”). The Fund will focus on the equity securities purchased or sold by members of Congress who are registered members of the Democratic Party and their families. The Fund will not consider investments by any U.S. Congressperson who is not registered as a member of the Democratic Party (e.g., a U.S. Congressperson who is registered as an Independent but who may caucus as member of the Democratic Party).
 
The Republican Trading ETF seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of publicly traded companies that sitting Republican members of United States Congress and/or their families also have reported to have invested in through public disclosure filings made by such Congresspersons pursuant to the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (“STOCK Act”). The Fund will focus on the equity securities purchased or sold by members of Congress who are registered members of the Republican Party and their families. The Fund will not consider investments by any U.S. Congressperson who is not registered as a member of the Republican Party (e.g., a U.S. Congressperson who is registered as an Independent but who may caucus as member of the Republican Party).
 
2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
A.  Investment Valuation – The following is a summary of the Funds’ pricing procedures. It is intended to be a general discussion and may not necessarily reflect all the pricing procedures followed by the Funds. Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global Select Market® and the

September 30, 2023

Nasdaq Capital Market® exchanges (collectively “Nasdaq”), are valued at the last reported sale price on that exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchanged traded equity security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange traded funds, are valued at their reported net asset values (“NAV”). To the extent these securities are valued at their NAV per share, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Funds and their Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating the Funds’ NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have designated the Adviser as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of the portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers, or independent pricing services are unreliable.
 
The Funds have adopted authoritative fair value 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, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation Levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:

Level 1 –
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have 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 Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
 


The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for further information on the classification of investments.
 
B.  Foreign Securities and Currency Translation – Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment 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 Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal year- end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
 
Investments in foreign securities entail certain risks. There may be a possibility of nationalization or expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability, and diplomatic developments that could affect the value of the Funds’ investments in certain foreign countries. Since foreign securities normally are denominated and traded in foreign currencies, the value of the Funds’ assets may be affected favorably or unfavorably by currency exchange rates, currency exchange control regulations, foreign withholding taxes, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies. There may be less information publicly available about a foreign issuer than

September 30, 2023

about a U.S. issuer, and foreign issuers are not generally subject to accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards, and practices comparable to those in the United States. The securities of some foreign issuers are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
 
C.  Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Funds consider highly liquid short-term fixed income investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months and money market funds to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are included in short term investments on the Schedule of Investments as well as in investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary cash overdrafts are reported as payable to custodian.
 
D.  Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
 
E.  Security Transactions, Income and Expenses – The Funds follow industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method.
 
F.  Share Valuation – The NAV per share of the Funds is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Funds, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Funds, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on days which the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. is closed for trading.
 
G.  Use of Estimates – The preparation of 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
H.  Statement of Cash Flows – Pursuant to the Cash Flows Topic of the Codification, the Funds qualify for an exemption from the requirement to provide a statement of cash flows and have elected not to provide a statement of cash flows.
 
 
3.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Trust has an agreement with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds’. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, a unified management fee (accrued daily) based upon the average daily net assets of the Funds at the annual rate of 0.75%.
 
The Adviser has retained Tidal Investments, LLC (“sub-adviser”) to serve as sub-adviser to the Funds.  The sub-adviser is responsible for trading portfolio securities for the Funds, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board. Fees associated with these services are paid to the sub-adviser by the Adviser.

UNUSUAL WHALES SUBVERSIVE CONGRESSIONAL TRADING ETFs


Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued
September 30, 2023

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the Funds except for the fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The receivable from Adviser for $338 as of September 30, 2023 for the Republican Trading ETF, consists of fees payable to the Adviser and trust level expenses paid by the Fund and will be reimbursed by the Adviser. The net amount is the result of the timing in the payments of the invoices and the reimbursement from the Adviser, which was paid shortly after the Fund’s fiscal year end.
 
The Advisory Agreement continues in effect for an initial two year period, and from year to year thereafter only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board or by vote of a majority of the Funds’ outstanding voting securities and by a majority of the Independent Trustees, who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or interested persons of any such party, in each case cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Advisory Agreement. The Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty by the Trust on behalf of a Fund on not more than 60 days’, nor less than 30 days’, written notice to the Adviser when authorized either by a majority vote of the Fund’s shareholders or by a vote of a majority of the Trustees, or by the Adviser on not more than 60 days’ written notice to the Trust, and will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). The Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser shall not be liable under such agreement for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of portfolio transactions for the Funds, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder.
 
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”) acts as the Funds’ Administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as the custodian to the Funds. The Custodian is an affiliate of the Administrator. The Administrator performs various administrative and accounting services for the Funds. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Funds; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Board; monitors the activities of the Funds’ custodian; coordinates the payment of the Funds’ expenses and reviews the Funds’ expense accruals. The officers of the Trust, including the Chief Compliance Officer, are employees of the Administrator. A trustee of the Trust is an officer of the Administrator. As compensation for its services, the Administrator is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate based upon the average daily net assets of the Funds, subject to annual minimums. The Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the Funds’ Administrator, transfer agent, fund accountant and custodian in accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement.
 
Quasar Distributors, LLC is the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”). The Distributor is not affiliated with the Adviser, Fund Services, or its affiliated companies.
 
 
4.  TAX FOOTNOTE
 
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of, and during the period ended March 31, 2023, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority and did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds

recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by taxing authorities for the tax periods since the commencement of operations.

Represents cost for federal income tax purposes and differs from cost for financial reporting purposes due to wash sales.

As of September 30, 2023, the Republican Trading ETF had $9,669 in short-term capital loss carryovers, which will be permitted to be carried over for an unlimited period. A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year. For the taxable year ended September 30, 2023, the Funds had no deferred qualified late year losses. Qualified late year losses are certain ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the Funds’ taxable year subsequent to December 31.
 
Distributions to Shareholders – The Funds intend to distribute all net investment income and net realized gains at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, GAAP requires that they be reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds. For the period ended September 30, 2023, paid-in capital was decreased by $1,889 and distributable earnings was increased $1,889 for the Democratic Trading ETF in relation to Redemption in Kinds (RIKs) and RIKs on wash sales. There were no reclassifications needed for the Republican Trading ETF.
 
For the period ended September 30, 2023, the Funds did not make any distributions to shareholders.
 
5.  DISTRIBUTION FEES
 
The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“the Plan”). In accordance with the Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of the Funds’ average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. As authorized by the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of the Funds’ assets. The Adviser and its affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Funds.

6.  CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
 
Shares of the Funds are listed and trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in blocks of 25,000 shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust  Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
 
A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for the Funds is $500, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the creation order costs associated with the order, or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee, payable to the Fund, may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are displayed in the Capital Shares Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.
 
7.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
 
The aggregate purchases and sales, excluding short-term investments, by the Funds for the period ended September 30, 2023, were as follows:
 
 
U.S. Government Securities
 
Other Securities
 
Purchases
Sales
 
Purchases*

Democratic Trading ETF
 
4,226,404
3,444,998
Republican Trading ETF

2,203,414

*
Purchases exclude subscriptions in-kind of $8,822,547 and $4,224,038 for the Democratic Trading ETF and Republican Trading ETF, respectively.
**
Sales exclude redemptions in-kind of $582,527 for the Democratic Trading ETF.
 
8.  OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS
 
In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Funds to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of Subversive ETFs and
Board of Trustees of Series Portfolios Trust
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic Trading ETF and Unusual Whales Subversive Republican Trading ETF (“Subversive ETFs” or the “Funds”), each a series of Series Portfolios Trust, as of September 30, 2023, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, the related notes, and the financial highlights for the period February 6, 2023 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2023, the results of their operations, the changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for 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 Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audit.  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 Funds 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 audit 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 audit 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 September 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
We have served as the auditor of one or more of Subversive Capital Advisor LLC’s investment companies since 2022.

Privacy Notice (Unaudited)

The Funds collect non-public information about you from the following sources:
 
 
Information we receive about you on applications or other forms;
 
Information you give us orally; and/or
 
Information about your transactions with us or others

The Funds do not disclose any non-public personal information about our customers or former customers without the customer’s authorization, except as permitted by law. The Funds may share information with affiliated and unaffiliated third parties with whom we have contracts for servicing the Fund. The Funds will provide unaffiliated third parties with only the information necessary to carry out their assigned responsibilities. The Funds maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information and require third parties to treat your personal information with the same high degree of confidentiality.
 
In the event that you hold shares of a Fund through a financial intermediary, including, but not limited to, a broker-dealer, bank, or trust company, the privacy policy of your financial intermediary would govern how your non-public personal information would be shared with unaffiliated third parties.
 
With respect to the Funds, issues and redemptions of their shares at net asset value (“NAV”) occur only in large aggregations of a specified number of shares (e.g., 25,000) called “Creation Units.” Only Authorized Participants (“APs”) may acquire shares directly from an ETF, and only APs may tender their ETF shares for redemption directly to the ETF, at NAV. APs must be (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC, a clearing agency that is registered with the SEC; or (ii) a DTC participant. In addition, each AP must execute a Participant Agreement that has been agreed to by the Funds’ distributor, and that has been accepted by the Funds’ transfer agent, with respect to purchases and redemptions of Creation Units.
 
Because of this structure, the Funds do not have any information regarding any “consumers” as defined in Rule 3 of Regulation S-P with respect to any ETFs, and consequently is not required by Regulation S-P to deliver a notice of the Funds’ privacy policy to any ETF shareholders.
