ABR DYNAMIC BLEND EQUITY & VOLATILITY FUND

A MESSAGE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS (Unaudited)

JULY 31, 2019

Dear Shareholder,

ABR Dynamic Funds, LLC is pleased to review the performance of the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund (“ABRVX” or the “Fund”) from August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019. During this period, the Institutional Shares of the Fund returned -0.31%.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of a benchmark index that measures the investment returns of a dynamic ratio of large-capitalization stocks and the volatility of large-capitalization stocks. The underlying index is the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Index Powered by Wilshire (“ABRVXX Index” or the “Index”).

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in securities and instruments, including derivatives, that provide exposure to the constituents of the Index. For purposes of this policy, the notional value of the Fund’s investments in derivative instruments that provide exposure to the constituents of the Index may be counted toward satisfaction of the 80% policy. The Fund uses equities (via instruments that track the S&P 500® Total Return Index), equity volatility (via instruments that track the S&P 500® VIX Short-Term Futures Total Return Index – “SPVXSTR” Index), and cash (via cash instruments).

The Fund employs a rules-based strategy to determine an allocation among equities, equity volatility, and cash. The approach is designed to approximately match the allocations of the ABRVXX Index. The strategy’s exposure to volatility tends to increase in periods of relatively high volatility and decrease in periods of relatively low volatility. Although not guaranteed, these tendencies are designed to capture favorable volatility movements in turbulent markets while preserving positive performance during extended rising markets. If successful in this design, the strategy may serve as a useful source of diversification to equity markets over multiple market cycles.

During the past fiscal year, ABRVX returned -0.31%. Despite excessive media attention around Q4 2018, the past fiscal year brought only modest ups and downs in equity markets, in line with (or even lower than) long-term historical volatility. The repeated volatility trend reversals during the fiscal year were somewhat difficult for the Fund’s trend-following strategy to navigate. However, ABRVX did outperform the S&P 500 in the 3 down months for the S&P 500 (October, December, and May), losing an average of 3.63% per month compared to the S&P 500’s average loss of 7.41% per month. As previously noted, following each of these three months, during which the Fund’s strategy prepared for a more significant increase in volatility, there were reversals higher in equity markets and lower in volatility.

Overall, the Fund’s underlying strategy prepared for a crisis 3 times during the fiscal year, and, despite no crisis actually materializing, ABRVX was approximately even for the fiscal year.

The return on and value of an investment in the mutual fund will fluctuate in response to market movements. Investments are subject to market risks, such as rapid increase or decrease in an investment value or liquidity, fluctuations in price due to economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Adviser. As with any mutual fund, there are risks involved with investing in the Fund, including the possible loss of principal. Other risks specific to the Fund are detailed in the prospectus. The Fund may be non-diversified, and fluctuations in individual holdings will have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments, and a small investment could have a large potential impact on the performance of the Fund. Future contracts have risks associated with index correlation, liquidity, default and margin. The Fund is not “actively” managed; passive management will not otherwise take defensive positions in declining markets unless such positions are reflected in the Index.

ABR DYNAMIC SHORT VOLATILITY FUND

A MESSAGE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS (Unaudited)

JULY 31, 2019

Dear Shareholder,

ABR Dynamic Funds, LLC is pleased to review the performance of the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund (“ABRSX” or the “Fund”) from August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019. During this period, the Institutional Shares of the Fund returned +9.46%.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

The Fund seeks to capitalize on the long-term historical downward trend of the price of CBOE Volatility Index (“VIX” Index) futures*, while mitigating the effect of sudden price appreciation in VIX futures. The Fund will invest primarily in securities and derivative instruments for the purpose of gaining short exposure to VIX futures, long exposure to long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, and cash.

The Fund relies principally on a model to determine its allocations among short VIX futures, long U.S. treasuries, and cash. The model is measured by the ABR Enhanced Short Volatility Index Powered by Wilshire (“ABRXIV”). However, the Fund is not an index fund and may consider factors outside of the model when making investments decisions. In low volatility environments, the model typically targets a larger allocation to U.S. treasuries and a smaller allocation to short VIX futures. In medium volatility environments, the model typically targets a smaller allocation to U.S. treasuries and a larger allocation to short VIX futures. In high volatility environments, the model typically targets a smaller allocation to both, with a larger cash allocation. These targets are designed to facilitate the Fund’s intended capitalization on the long-term historical downward trend of VIX futures*, while striving to mitigate the loss from sudden spikes in VIX futures.

ABRSX drew down in Q4 2018, as any short volatility strategy may be expected to do. However, the ABRSX strategy significantly mitigated the risk of a static short allocation to VIX futures. In Q4 2018, ABRSX lost 30.03% while a static short allocation to VIX futures (measured by SPVXSPI Index) lost 50.51%. Following the drawdown, ABRSX was able to capitalize on the resumption of the long-term historical downward trend of VIX futures. In January – July, ABRSX made 54.53% while SPVXSPI made 66.78%.

Overall, the Fund’s model succeeded in mitigating the risk of rapidly appreciating VIX futures and then participating in the gains from the long-term historical downward trend of VIX futures. For the fiscal year, ABRSX returned +9.46% while a static short allocation to VIX futures was unable to recover fully from its Q4 2018 drawdown and returned -6.56%.

For more information on ABR Dynamic Funds, LLC, please visit our website: www.abrfunds.com.

*From 2006 to July 31, 2019, VIX futures declined by 99.96%, as measured by the SPVXSTR Index.

The return on and value of an investment in the mutual fund will fluctuate in response to market movements. Investments are subject to market risks, such as rapid increase or decrease in an investment value or liquidity, fluctuations in price due to economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Adviser. As with any mutual fund, there are risks involved with investing in the Fund, including the possible loss of principal. Other risks specific to the Fund are detailed in the prospectus. The Fund may be non-diversified, and fluctuations in individual holdings will have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments, and a small investment could have a large potential impact on the performance of the Fund. Future contracts have risks associated with index correlation, liquidity, default and margin. The Fund may take temporary defensive positions under extraordinary market, political, or macroeconomic conditions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JULY 31, 2019

Note 1. Organization

ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund and ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are non-diversified portfolios of Forum Funds II (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust that is registered as an open-end, management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”). Under its Trust Instrument, the Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of each Fund’s shares of beneficial interest without par value. Each Fund currently offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Investor Shares. Institutional Shares and Investor Shares commenced operations on August 3, 2015, and August 14, 2015, respectively, for the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund, and October 2, 2017 and October 11, 2017, respectively, for the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund. The ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund’s investment objective is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of a benchmark index that measures the investment returns of a dynamic ratio of large-capitalization stocks and the volatility of large-capitalization stocks. The ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds are investment companies and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” These financial statements are prepared in accordance 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, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the fiscal year. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of each Fund:

Security Valuation – Securities are valued at market prices using the last quoted trade or official closing price from the principal exchange where the security is traded, as provided by independent pricing services on each Fund business day. In the absence of a last trade, securities are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price provided by the pricing service. Debt securities may be valued at prices supplied by a fund’s pricing agent based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity. Futures contracts are valued at the day’s settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. Shares of non-exchange traded open-end mutual funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”). Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost.

Each Fund values its investments at fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) if (1) market quotations are not readily available or (2) the Adviser, as defined in Note 4, believes that the values available are unreliable. The Trust’s Valuation Committee, as defined in each Fund’s registration statement, performs certain functions as they relate to the administration and oversight of each Fund’s valuation procedures. Under these procedures, the Valuation Committee convenes on a regular and ad hoc basis to review such investments and considers a number of factors, including valuation methodologies and significant unobservable inputs, when arriving at fair value.

The Valuation Committee may work with the Adviser to provide valuation inputs. In determining fair valuations, inputs may include market-based analytics that may consider related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant investment information. Adviser inputs may include an income-based approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted in determining fair value. Discounts may also be applied based on the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. The Valuation Committee performs regular reviews of valuation methodologies, key inputs and assumptions, disposition analysis and market activity.

Fair valuation is based on subjective factors and, as a result, the fair value price of an investment may differ from the security’s market price and may not be the price at which the asset may be sold. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV determined by using market quotes.

GAAP has a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

14

ABR FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JULY 31, 2019

Level 2 - Prices determined using significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Short-term securities with maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Municipal securities, long-term U.S. government obligations and corporate debt securities are valued in accordance with the evaluated price supplied by a pricing service and generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Other securities that are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, warrants that do not trade on an exchange, securities valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask quotation and international equity securities valued by an independent third party with adjustments for changes in value between the time of the securities’ respective local market closes and the close of the U.S. market.

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The aggregate value by input level, as of July 31, 2019, for each Fund’s investments is included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Realized Gain and Loss – Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as possible after determining the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Income and capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which are accrued as applicable. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premium is amortized and discount is accreted using the effective interest method. Identified cost of investments sold is used to determine the gain and loss for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Futures Contracts – Each Fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes, which may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the securities. A futures contract is an agreement between parties to buy or sell a security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, a fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. Government obligations or other high-quality debt securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the futures contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Notional amounts of each individual futures contract outstanding as of July 31, 2019, for each Fund, are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

Distributions to Shareholders – Each Fund declares any dividends from net investment income and pays them annually. Any net capital gains realized by the Funds are distributed at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are based on amounts calculated in accordance with applicable federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due primarily to differing treatments of income and gain on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterizations of distributions made by each Fund.

Federal Taxes – Each Fund intends to continue to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of Chapter 1, Subtitle A, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains, if any, the Funds will not be subject to a federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. Each Fund will file a U.S. federal income and excise tax return as required. Each Fund’s federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. As of July 31, 2019, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure.

Income and Expense Allocation – The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each of its investment portfolios. Expenses that are directly attributable to more than one investment portfolio are allocated among the respective investment portfolios in an equitable manner.

The Funds' class-specific expenses are charged to the operations of that class of shares. Income and expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on the class’ respective net assets to the total net assets of each Fund.

ABR FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JULY 31, 2019

Commitments and Contingencies – In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications by each Fund to the counterparty to the contract. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against each Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. Each Fund has determined that none of these arrangements requires disclosure on each Fund’s balance sheet.

Offering Costs – Offering costs for the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund of $19,401 consisted of fees related to the mailing and printing of the initial prospectus, certain startup legal costs, and initial registration filings. Such costs are amortized over a twelve-month period beginning with the commencement of operations of the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund.

Note 3. Cash – Concentration in Uninsured Account

For cash management purposes, each Fund may concentrate cash with each Fund’s custodian. This typically results in cash balances exceeding the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. As of July 31, 2019, the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund Fund had $8,387,941 at MUFG Union Bank, N.A. that exceeded the FDIC insurance limit.

Note 4. Fees and Expenses

Investment Adviser – ABR Dynamic Funds, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the Funds. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, the Adviser receives an advisory fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.75% and 2.50% of the average daily net assets of the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund and ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund, respectively.

Apex provides a Principal Executive Officer, a Principal Financial Officer, a Chief Compliance Officer and an Anti-Money Laundering Officer to each Fund, as well as certain additional compliance support functions.

Trustees and Officers – The Trust pays each Independent Trustee an annual fee of $16,000 ($21,000 for the Chairman) for service to the Trust. The Independent Trustees and Chairman may receive additional fees for special Board meetings. The Independent Trustees are also reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their duties as Trustees, including travel and related expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. The amount of Independent Trustees’ fees attributable to each Fund is disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of Forum Funds II and the Shareholders of

ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund and ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest in Forum Funds II, including the schedule of investments, as of July 31, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights as noted in the table below, and the related notes. We have also audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest in Forum Funds II (collectively, the “Funds”), including the schedule of investments, as of July 31, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended and for the period October 2, 2017 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2018, and the financial highlights as noted in the table below, and the related notes. (All of these statements and notes referred to in the previous sentences are collectively referred to as the “financial statements”.) In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of July 31, 2019, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended and their financial highlights as noted in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund	Institutional Shares: Financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 2019 and for the period from August 3, 2015 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2016 Investor Shares: Financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 2019 and for the period from August 14, 2015 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2016
ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund	Institutional Shares: Financial highlights for the year ended July 31, 2019 and for the period from October 2, 2017 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2018 Investor Shares: Financial highlights for the year ended July 31, 2019 and for the period from October 11, 2017 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2018

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 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 Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities law 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk 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 July 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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.

BBD, LLP

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the Forum Funds II since 2013.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

At the June 14, 2019 Board meeting (the “June meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Trustees, met in person and considered the approval of the continuance of the investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Trust pertaining to the Funds (the “Advisory Agreement”). In preparation for the June meeting, the Board was presented with a range of information to assist in its deliberations. The Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Adviser to a letter circulated on the Board's behalf concerning the Adviser’s personnel, operations, financial condition, performance, compensation and services provided to the Fund by the Adviser. During its deliberations, the Board received an oral presentation from the Adviser and discussed the materials with the Adviser, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (“Independent Legal Counsel”), and, as necessary, with the Trust's administrator, Apex Fund Services. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session with Independent Legal Counsel while deliberating.

At the June meeting, the Board reviewed, among other matters, the topics discussed below.

Nature, Extent & Quality of Services

Based on written materials received and the presentation from senior representatives of the Adviser regarding the personnel, operations, and financial condition of the Adviser, the Board considered the quality of services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the experience, qualifications and professional background of the portfolio managers and other personnel at the Adviser with principal responsibility for the Fund, as well as the investment philosophy and decision-making process of those professionals and the capability and integrity of the Adviser’s senior management and staff.

The Board considered also the adequacy of the Adviser’s resources and noted the Adviser’s representations that the firm is financially stable and has the operational capability and the necessary staffing and experience to continue providing quality investment advisory services to the Funds. Based on the presentation and the materials provided by the Adviser in connection with the Board’s consideration of the approval of the Advisory Agreement, and other relevant considerations, the Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.

Performance

In connection with a presentation by the Adviser regarding its approach to managing the Funds, including the investment objective and strategy of each Fund, the Board reviewed the performance of the each Fund compared to their respective benchmarks and compared to independent peer groups of funds identified by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) believed to have characteristics similar to those of the Funds.

The Board observed that the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index, the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund’s primary benchmark index, for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2019, and for the period since the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund’s inception on August 3, 2015. The Board noted the Adviser’s representation that the primary benchmark index is a broad-based securities market index that is not believed to provide the most representative comparison of the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund’s performance due to the unique nature of the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund’s investment strategy. At the Adviser’s request, the Board considered the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund’s performance against that of the CBOE Eurekahedge Long Volatility Hedge Fund Index (the “Comparable Index”), which was believed by the Adviser to serve as a more representative comparative benchmark for the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund because the constituents of the Comparable Index employ investment strategies that take a net long view on implied volatility with a goal of positive absolute return, similar to the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund. The Board observed that the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund outperformed the Comparable Index for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2019.

The Board also observed that the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund underperformed the median of its Broadridge peers for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2019. The Board noted the Adviser’s representation that the unique nature of the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund’s investment strategy resulted in a limited universe of peer funds and that the peer funds identified by Broadridge were not believed to provide the most representative comparison due to the peer funds’ low correlation to the holdings in the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund’s portfolio and the differences in the peer funds’ approaches to managing volatility in the investment strategies employed. At the request of the Adviser, the Board compared the performance of the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund to a group of funds identified by the Adviser as having characteristics more closely aligned to those of the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund (the “Long Volatility Comparable Peers”). The Board observed that the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund underperformed the Long Volatility Comparable Peers for the one- and three-

year periods ended March 31, 2019, but that the performance of the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund more closely aligned with the performance of the Long Volatility Comparable Peers than the performance of the Broadridge peers. The Board also noted the Adviser’s representation that the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund performed in line with the Adviser’s expectations during the periods of heightened market volatility in the first quarter of 2018, which demonstrated the effectiveness of the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund’s investment strategy during market volatility.

The Board observed that the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund outperformed the Citigroup 3-Month U.S. T-Bill Index, the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s primary benchmark index, for the one-year period ended March 31, 2019, and underperformed the primary benchmark for the period since the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s inception on October 2, 2017. The Board noted the Adviser’s representation that the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s underperformance over the period since the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s inception was largely a result of the historic market volatility during the first quarter of 2018, which had a disproportionately negative impact on the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s performance over longer periods. The Board further noted the Adviser’s representation that the primary benchmark index was not believed to provide the most representative comparison of the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s performance due to the unique nature of the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s investment strategy. At the Adviser’s request, the Board considered the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s performance against that of the CBOE Eurekahedge Short Volatility Index (the “Comparable Index”), which was believed by the Adviser to serve as a more representative comparative benchmark for the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund because the constituents of the Comparable Index employ investment strategies that take a net short view on implied volatility with a goal of positive absolute return, similar to the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund. The Board observed that the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund outperformed the Comparable Index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2019.

The Board also observed that the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund outperformed the median of its Broadridge peers for the one-year period ended March 31, 2019; however, the Board noted that the unique nature of the investment strategy employed for the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund resulted in a very limited universe of peer funds such that the Broadridge peers did not provide a particularly meaningful comparison. At the request of the Adviser, the Board compared the performance of the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund to a group of funds identified by the Adviser as having characteristics more closely aligned to those of the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund (the “Short Volatility Comparable Peers”). The Board observed that the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund performed favorably relative to the Short Volatility Comparable Peers, noting that most of the Short Volatility Comparable Peers had recently been liquidated due to large losses stemming from the February 2018 market volatility, which the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund was able to mitigate, in part, due to the dynamic rebalancing component in the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s investment strategy. The Board also noted the Adviser’s representation that the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund performed in line with the Adviser’s expectations during the periods of heightened market volatility in the first quarter of 2018, which demonstrated the effectiveness of the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund’s investment strategy during market volatility.

Based on the foregoing and other relevant considerations, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s management of the Funds could benefit the Funds and their shareholders.

Compensation

The Board evaluated the Adviser’s compensation for providing advisory services to the Funds and analyzed comparative information on actual advisory fee rates and actual total expense ratios of the Funds’ respective Broadridge peer groups and Comparable Peers. The Board noted that the actual advisory fee rate and total expense ratio for the ABR Dynamic Blend Equity & Volatility Fund were each higher than the median of its Broadridge peer group and were less than the median of the Long Volatility Comparable Peers. The Board noted that the actual advisory fee rate for the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund was less than the median of its Broadridge peers and the total expense ratio for the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund was higher than the median of its Broadridge peers. The Board noted that the actual advisory fee rate and total expense ratio for the ABR Dynamic Short Volatility Fund were each higher than the average of the Short Volatility Comparable Peers. The Board noted also the Adviser’s representation that the contractual and actual advisory fee rates and total expense ratios of the Funds were believed to be within a reasonable range of the Funds’ Comparable Peers in light of the Adviser’s anticipated profit margin and services provided by the Adviser. Finally, the Board noted that the Adviser had imposed contractual expense caps, which required the Adviser to waive its advisory fees as necessary to ensure that each Fund’s expenses did not exceed the contractual cap, and that the Adviser was currently waiving all or a portion of its advisory fees for each Fund. Based on the foregoing, and other relevant considerations, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s advisory fee rate charged to each Fund was reasonable.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)

JULY 31, 2019

Cost of Services and Profitability

The Board considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the costs of services and its profitability with respect to the Funds. In this regard, the Board considered the Adviser’s resources devoted to the Funds in the aggregate, as well as the Adviser’s discussion of the aggregate costs and profitability of its mutual fund activities. The Board noted the Adviser’s representation that it continued to waive its advisory fee as necessary to ensure each Fund’s expenses did not exceed the contractual expense cap. Based on these and other applicable considerations, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s profits attributable to management of the Funds did not appear unreasonably high in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether the Funds would benefit from any economies of scale. In this respect, the Board noted that the Adviser did not have breakpoints in its advisory fee, and the Board further noted the Adviser’s discussions in this regard. Based on the foregoing information and other applicable considerations, the Board concluded that economies of scale were not a material factor in approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.

Other Benefits

The Board noted the Adviser’s representation that, aside from its contractual advisory fees, it does not benefit in a material way from its relationship with the Funds. Based on the foregoing representation and other applicable considerations, the Board concluded that other benefits received by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds were not a material factor in approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.

Conclusion

The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Fund/Trustee Counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to its consideration of the Advisory Agreement. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the advisory arrangement, as outlined in the Advisory Agreement, was fair and reasonable in light of the services performed or to be performed, expenses incurred or to be incurred and such other matters as the Board considered relevant.

Proxy Voting Information

A description of the policies and procedures that each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to securities held in each Fund’s portfolio is available, without charge and upon request, by calling (855) 422-4518 and on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) website at www.sec.gov. Each Fund’s proxy voting record for the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30 is available, without charge and upon request, by calling (855) 422-4518 and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Schedules

Each Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. These filings are available, without charge and upon request on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (for Investor Shares only) and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2019 through July 31, 2019.

JULY 31, 2019

Actual Expenses – The first line of the 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 Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes – The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each 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 each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. 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.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (181) divided by 365 to reflect the half-year period.

Federal Tax Status of Dividends Declared during the Fiscal Year

For federal income tax purposes, dividends from short-term capital gains are classified as ordinary income. The Funds designate 100.00% of the income dividends as short-term capital gain dividends exempt from U.S. tax for foreign shareholders (QSD).

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

(a) Audit Fees - The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years (the “Reporting Periods”) for professional services rendered by the Registrant’s principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the principal accountant in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $25,500 in 2018 and $28,000 in 2019.

(b) Audit-Related Fees – The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services rendered by the principal accountant that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item 4 were $0 in 2018 and $0 in 2019.

(c) Tax Fees - The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the principal accountant to the Registrant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $6,000 in 2018 and $6,000 in 2019.  These services consisted of review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns.

This Code of Ethics (“Code”) applies to all Funds and has been adopted in order to establish standards and procedures for the detection and prevention of activities by which persons having knowledge of the investments and investment intentions of a Fund may abuse their fiduciary duties to the Trust and to deal with other types of conflict of interest situations.  Upon discovering a violation of the Code, the Board may impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate.

A specific purpose of the Code is to promote honest and ethical conduct, compliance with applicable laws and accountability for adherence to the Code.  All Access Persons should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to conflicts of interest.

SECTION 5.COVERED OFFICERS

(A)Conflicts of Interest.  A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s employment or personal interest interferes with the interests of, or service to, the Trust.  For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer receives improper personal benefits as a result of the Covered Officer’s position with the Trust.  A Covered Officer may be an officer or employee of a Service Provider, another investment company or another company.  Conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Trust and its Service Providers or otherwise due to the Covered Officers’ positions, but such other positions of a Covered Officer do not by itself give rise to a conflict of interest.  As applicable to a Covered Officer, the following must be approved by the Audit Committee:

(1) Service on the board of directors or governing board of a publicly traded entity;

(2) The receipt of any non-nominal gifts from persons or entities who have or are seeking business relationships with the Trust or a Fund;

(3) The receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trust has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

(4) Any ownership interest (material to the officer) in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any entities doing business with the Trust, other than its service providers and their respective Affiliated Persons; and

(5) Any direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trust for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment with the Trust’s service providers or their respective Affiliated Persons.

(B)Duties.  A Covered Officer shall:

(1) Become familiar with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Trust;

(2) Not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Trust to others;

(3) To the extent appropriate, consult with other Officers and employees of the Trust and its service providers;

(4) Promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws; and

(5) Not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Fund or its Service Providers for reporting potential violations of by the Fund, its Service Providers, or another Covered Officer that are made in good faith.

(C)A Covered Officer shall notify the Chairman of the Audit Committee promptly if the officer knows of any violation of this Code.

SECTION 6.REVIEW OFFICER

(A)Appointment.  A Review Officer shall be appointed by the PEO.

(B)Duties of Review Officer.  The Review Officer shall :

(1) Review all investment transaction and holdings reports or shall maintain the names of persons responsible for reviewing these reports;

(2) Identify all Access Persons who are required to make these reports, maintain and periodically update a list of such Access Persons, and promptly inform each Access Person of the requirements of this Code;

(3) Compare, on a quarterly basis, all Access Persons’ transactions in Covered Investments with each Fund’s completed portfolio transactions and in the case of transactions in Shares, with operating activities of the Fund, to determine whether a Code violation may have occurred;

(4) Maintain a signed acknowledgment by each person who is then an Access Person;

(5) Identify persons who are Investment Personnel, maintain and periodically update a list of such Investment Personnel, and inform those persons of their requirements to obtain prior written approval from the Review Officer prior to directly or indirectly acquiring ownership of a security in any private placement or initial public offering; and

(6) Annually prepare a written report to the Trustees that

(a) Describes any issues under this Code since the last report to the Trustees, including information about material violations of the Code and sanctions imposed in response to the material violations; and

(b) Confirm that the Trust has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating this Code.

(C)Potential Trade Conflict.  When there appears to be a transaction that conflicts with this Code, the Review Officer shall request a written explanation of the Access Person’s transaction.  If after the review it is determined that there has been a violation of this Code, the Review Officer shall make a recommendation of appropriate action to the Board.

(D)Required Records.  The Review Officer shall maintain:

(1) A copy of this and any other code of ethics adopted by the Trust, Adviser or Affiliated Distributor, which has been in effect at any time during the previous five (5) years, in an easily accessible place;

(2) A record of any violation of this Code, and of any action taken as a result of such violation, in an easily accessible place for at least five (5) years after the end of the fiscal year in which the violation occurs;

The Boards, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, shall:
