ALPHAMARK FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 28, 2021 (Unaudited)

Organization

AlphaMark Fund (the “Fund”) is a no-load, diversified series of AlphaMark Investment Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company established as an Ohio business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated June 24, 2008.

The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies,” including FASB Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.

Securities valuation – The Fund’s portfolio securities are valued as of the close of business of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Securities, including common stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and option contracts, which are traded on stock exchanges are valued on the basis of their last reported sales prices on the exchanges on which they are primarily traded, or, if not traded on a particular day, at the closing bid price. Securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price or, if not traded on a particular day, at the last bid price as reported by NASDAQ. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last sale price, if available, otherwise, at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices. Fixed income securities are generally valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service. When using a quoted price and when the market for the security is considered active, the security will be classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy (see below). Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable due to significant market or other events are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used.

GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

ALPHAMARK FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs

U.S. Treasury obligations held by the Fund are classified as level 2 since values are based on prices provided by an independent pricing service that utilizes various “other significant observable inputs,” including bid and ask quotations, prices of similar securities and interest rates, among other factors.

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

The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments and the inputs used to value the investments and other financial instruments by security type as of February 28, 2021:

Investments in Securities	Level 1			Level 2		Level 3		Total
Common Stocks	$	5,953,925		$	—	$	—	$	5,953,925

ALPHAMARK FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

See the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a listing of the common stocks by sector and industry type. The Fund did not hold any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of or during the six months ended February 28, 2021.

Share valuation – The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the Fund’s assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share of the Fund is equal to the NAV per share, except that shares of the Fund are subject to a redemption fee of 1.5%, payable to the Fund, if redeemed within sixty days of the date of purchase. During the periods ended February 28, 2021 and August 31, 2020, proceeds from redemption fees totaled $2 and $764, respectively.

Investment transactions and investment income – Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on a specific identification basis, which compares the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been recorded for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Option contracts – During periods of volatility, the Fund may utilize the following option strategies with respect to options on individual stocks, exchange-traded funds or an index: (i) buy put or call options for a portion of the portfolio; (ii) write puts to generate income while waiting for a stock price to become more reasonable; and (iii) write call options to generate income on stock positions that the investment advisor to the Fund believes are becoming overvalued.

Purchased option contracts – When the Fund purchases a call or put option, an amount equal to the total premium (the premium plus the commission) paid by the Fund is recorded as an asset on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently marked-to-market daily. Premiums paid in the purchase of options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid in the purchase of call options that are exercised will increase the cost of the underlying security purchased. Premiums paid in the purchase of put options that are exercised will decrease the proceeds used to calculate the realized capital gain or loss on the sale of the underlying security.

Written option contracts – When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the net premium (the premium less the commission) received by the Fund is recorded as a liability on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently marked-to-market daily. Premiums received from writing call and put options that expire are treated as realized capital gains. Premiums received from writing call options that are

ALPHAMARK FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

exercised will increase the proceeds used to calculate the realized capital gain or loss on the sale of the underlying security. Premiums received from writing put options that are exercised will decrease the basis of the underlying security purchased.

If a closing purchase or sale transaction is used to terminate the Fund’s obligation on an option, a capital gain or loss will be realized, depending upon whether the price of the closing transaction is more or less than the premium previously paid on the option purchased or received on the option written.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders – Dividends arising from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually in December. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Fund may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders of the Fund during the periods ended February 28, 2021 and August 31, 2020 was as follows:

Periods	Ordinary		Long-Term		Total
Ended	Income		Capital Gains		Distributions
2/28/2021	$	586,119	$	1,796,229	$	2,382,348
8/31/2020	$	21,582	$	460,946	$	482,528

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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets from operation during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal income tax – The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Qualification generally will relieve the Fund of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of its net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed in accordance with the Code.

ALPHAMARK FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also the Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following is computed on a tax basis for each item as of February 28, 2021:


Cost of portfolio investments and written option contracts	$	17,123,180
Gross unrealized appreciation	$	2,704,470
Gross unrealized depreciation		(46,249	)
Net unrealized appreciation		2,658,221
Accumulated ordinary loss		(20,053	)
Other net gains		1,810,244
Total accumulated earnings	$	4,448,412

The difference between the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and the financial statement cost of portfolio investments is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and tax straddles on option contracts.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions and concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Fund’s current and all open tax years (generally, three years).

During the six months ended February 28, 2021, the Fund did not incur any taxes, interest or penalties. Generally, tax authorities can examine tax returns filed during the last three years. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

Investment Transactions

During the six months ended February 28, 2021, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments and U.S. government securities, were as follows:


Cost of purchases of investment securities	$	15,380,006
Proceeds from sales of investment securities	$	16,803,411

Certain other officers of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor, or of Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus”), the Fund’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accounting agent, and Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter and an affiliate of Ultimus.

Trustees and officers affiliated with the Advisor or Ultimus are not compensated by the Trust for their services. Each Trustee who is not an interested person of the Trust receives an annual retainer of $3,000 paid quarterly, and a fee of $500 for each Board meeting attended, plus reimbursement of travel and other expenses incurred in attending meetings, if any.

The Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”) of the Trust is an employee of the Advisor. The Fund reimburses the Advisor $6,000 annually for the services provided by the CCO to the Trust.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor, the Advisor serves as the investment advisor to the Fund. The Fund pays the Advisor an investment advisory fee computed at the annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets. When the assets of the Fund reach $100 million, the Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce the monthly investment advisory fee computed at the annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets to 0.75% of its average daily net assets.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until December 31, 2021, to reduce its investment advisory fees and to reimburse other ordinary operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s annual ordinary operating expenses (excluding portfolio transaction and other investment-related costs (including brokerage fees and commissions); taxes; borrowing costs; acquired fund fees and expenses; fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option fees and expenses); expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization; extraordinary expenses (such as litigation expenses, indemnification of Trust officers and Trustees and contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the Advisor)); and other expenses that the Trustees agree have not been incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business) to an amount not exceeding 1.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Any fee reductions and expense reimbursements by the Advisor are subject to repayment by the Fund for a period of 3 years after such fees and expenses were incurred, subject to the following conditions: (i) no payment shall be made to the Advisor that arose more than three years prior to the proposed date of payment, and (ii) such payment shall be made only to the extent

that it does not cause the Fund’s aggregate expenses, on an annualized basis, to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time the expense to be repaid were incurred. This arrangement may be terminated by either party upon 60 days’ prior written notice, provided, however, that (i) the Advisor may not terminate this arrangement without the approval of the Board, and (ii) this arrangement will terminate automatically if the Advisor ceases to serve as investment adviser of the Fund.

As of February 28, 2021, the Advisor may seek repayment of investment advisory fee reductions in the amount of $352,630 no later than the dates as stated below:


August 31, 2021	$	45,697
August 31, 2022		116,301

OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER

Ultimus provides administrative, pricing, accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer agent services for the Fund. The Fund pays Ultimus fees in accordance with the terms of the master agreement for such services. In addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses including, but not limited to, postage, supplies and certain costs related to the pricing of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

Distribution Plan

The Trust has adopted a plan of distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Plan”) which allows the Fund to incur expenses related to the distribution of its shares. The annual fees payable under the Plan may not exceed an amount equal to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. During the six months ended February 28, 2021, the total expenses incurred pursuant to the Plan were $24,962.

Principal Owner of Fund Shares

As of February 28, 2021, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., for the benefit of its customers, owned of record 95% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. A beneficial owner of 25% or more of the Fund’s outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That shareholder’s vote could have a significant effect on matters presented at a shareholders’ meeting.

Investments in Other Investment Companies

The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in shares of one or more investment companies, including ETFs, open-end mutual funds and money market mutual funds. The Fund will incur additional indirect expenses (acquired fund fees and expenses) to the extent it invests in shares of other investment companies. As of February 28, 2021, the Fund had 56.4% of the value of its net assets invested in ETFs.

Contingencies and Commitments

The Fund indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. 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 Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Subsequent Events

The Fund is required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Fund is required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events.

ALPHAMARK FUND

ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other operating expenses. These ongoing costs, which are deducted from the Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund.

A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the most recent period (September 1, 2020) and held until the end of the period (February 28, 2021).

The table below illustrates the Fund’s ongoing costs in two ways:

Actual fund return – This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount of operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, 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 given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% return – This section is intended to help you compare the Fund’s ongoing costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess the Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The Fund does not impose any sales loads. However, a redemption fee of 1.5% is applied on the sale of shares redeemed within sixty days of the date of purchase. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited) (Continued)

More information about the Fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, can be found in this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus.

	Beginning	Ending
	Account Value	Account Value	Expenses Paid
	September 1, 2020	February 28, 2021	During Period*

Based on Actual Fund Return	$1,000.00	$1,109.80	$7.85
Based on Hypothetical 5% Return	$1,000.00	$1,017.36	$7.50

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ration of 1.50% for the period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Trust files a complete listing of portfolio holdings for the Fund with the SEC as of the end of the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT. These filings are available upon request by calling 1-866-420-3350. Furthermore, you may obtain a copy of these filings on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (Unaudited)

The Fund has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 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-term and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources. The Fund’s Board approved the appointment of the Advisor to serve as Liquidity Program Administrator (the “LPA”). The LPA is responsible for the Program’s administration and oversight and for reporting to the Board on at least an annual basis regarding the Program’s operation and effectiveness. The annual written report assessing the Program (the “Report”) was presented to the Board at the October 22, 2020 Board meeting and covered the period from inception to June 30, 2020 (the “Review Period”).

During the Review Period, the Fund did not experience unusual stress or disruption to its operations related to purchase and redemption activity. Also, during the Review Period, the Fund held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. During the Review Period, the Fund did not hold illiquid securities and the Fund was not required to establish a highly liquid investment minimum. The Report concluded that the Fund takes many factors into consideration when determining the best methods for managing the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio. During the Review Period the Fund maintained positions in cash and cash equivalents and liquid exchange-traded securities, such as common stocks and exchange-traded funds. The LPA is of the opinion that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk, reasonably designed to prevent violation of the Liquidity Rule, and has been effectively implemented.
